ResoIred By both Branches of the CITY Council Of Balt-
more That the Mayor be and he is hereby requested to
transmit to the Council as early as practicable state
ment OF the in ebtedness of the corporation together
with its relative position 10 the past and present
We are glad that this step has been taken, and
trust the resolution will be unanimously adopted.
Although we have not very profound confidence
that the facts referred to by Mr. Cook will be placed
in the most Ineligible and reliable shape, yet as
we have an abiding faith that the present city au-
thorities will soon be called to give an account of
their stewardship, we should like to have their
last balance sheet to compare with the one which
will soon be made up by other and trustier hands.
By all means let us have the report, Mr. Mayor,
and do not let the name of the mover of the resou
ton suggest the process by which it is to be pre-
pared.
The NEws.-The telegraph puts us in possession
OF important intelligence from Europe, California,
and Mexico. The steamer Palestine passed Farther
Point yesterday, from Liverpool on the 23d. The
cay Of Manchester's news, although of the same
date was from Queenstown. The weather in Eng
crops, and Breadstuffs had an advancing tendency.
The political news is unimportant.
The news from California is to the 22d ult The
express came through notwithstanding the Indians,
who were very troublesome, and extreme measures
were being pursued by the army officers to repress
them. The political fever was very high, and meet
ings were being held all over California.
Our advices from Mexico state that Miramon,
had cd tot
way through the troops of Degollado at Lagos, but
was unable to do so. Miramon was badly wounded,
but escaped with a few of his cavalry. The re-
mainder of his army made prisoners Gen.
Pacheco was killed. The engagement lasted five
days.
THE PARK.-We learn that in order to obviate,
If possible, the objections expressed by the pro-
prietor of Druid Hill to the validity of the bonds
proposed to be issued by the Commissioners in
payment of the price agreed on, ten of our most
wealthy citizens have agreed substantially to guar
anty the payment of the bonds, so as to render Mr.
Rogers secure beyond any possible contingency.
The details of the arrangement it is not necessary
| to state, the names of the gentlemen who
thus voluntarily stepped forward, to ensure, if
| possible the contamination of the magnificent en-
terprise. Gen. O'Donnell waited on Mr.. Rogers YES
|
| to which he could have objection if he is dis
posed to carry out his agreement with the Commits
sioners in good faith. A long interview ensued,
| which, however, resulted in accomplishing nothing
Mr.. Rogers positively refusing to surrender the
property.

ings in the wards last night indicate the nomina-
ton of straight American candidate for Mayor
