CRY CoUNGIL.-The Board of Aldermen had no
quorum last night, and consequently did no bust
ness. The Board of Assistant Aldermen had n

teresting nature. The official proceedings will be
found under the proper head in another column. 81.

lies were supplied with provisions at the Free

COMPANY A, POLICE GUARDS. This fine company,
under command of Capt. Read, is now fully organ
lzed, having s. men rank and file Oh its roll. As it
is intended to be permanent organization, the
members met yesterday and adopted Constitu-
ton and bylaws for their government. The full
corps was present and everything was done in the
most satisfactory manner. This company is bound
to do some work when an occasion offers.
BEAUREGARD BATTALION BAIrERY.-Tllis COM
pany organized last night, Capts. Fosdick and
Bunckner, Of Gen. Trudeau's staff presiding. The
following gentlemen were elected: Edward Tur-
ner, Captain and George l.. Crutcher, Senior First
Lieutenant The election for the other officers was
deferred until the company completed its roll to
the full standard required by law. The material of
this company is such as to make any man proud 10
command them, and Capt. Turner and Lieut..
Crutcher are both old Washington Artillery boys
the last bearing honorable scars got at Manassas.
It is, therefore, easy to predict their success.
MORE COUNTERFEIT CONFEDERATE BILLs.-It ap-
pears that a dangerous counterfeit of the small
bills OF the Confederacy is in circulation in the
city, which is likely to create trouble. Yesterday
morning a gentleman showed the teller of the
Bank of New Orleans S. Confederate bill, which
bore the Richmond stamp and appeared all right,
but which, on close inspection, proved to be
photograph most cunningly done. We would ad-
wise our readers to look well to those bills before
taking them. On close inspection, the paper will
be found to einferor, and in nearly every the
traces of the acids can be detected.
NED MCGOWAN DIscuARGED-Ned McGowan,
whose arrest we noticed yesterday, it appears was
not held long by Gen, Twiggs, for he was able to
disprove the charges made against him, and was
set at liberty the day of his arrest. p"
TIE ELLIS LYNCHING CAsE.-Recorder Adams
and Mr.. Burnett were as good as their word yes
terday, producing witnesses to prove a complete
alib for both of them, according to the affidavit of
Ellis This individual seems to be III scrape him
self, for Mr.. B. S. HARRISON has made affidavit
accusing him of being an aboltonist, and for using
incendiary language. Under these circumstances,
Mayor Monroe rendered no decision in the case
yesterday, but will wait until Ellis has chance of
clearing himself, which he will have to-day.

PIRACY AND L1NCoLS1sM,- These are the charges
made against J. 4. Pettgrew, Henry Smith and
John McDougail, who were brought up to the city
from Proctorville, on Lake Borgne, last night, by
Lieut. McGregor of the Screwmen's Guard, and
lodged in the First District lookup, The nature
of the offence charged against them is, that on
Monday night they went on board of the fishing
smack Express owned by Capt. Mark Stoddard,
which was lying near the wharf and demanded his
papers, ordered him shore, took possession and
was about making their way to the Lincoln fleet.
Capt Stoddard, however, had no idea of losing
his vessel in this manner, went to the Captain of
the Screwmen's Guard, stationed there, and, re- |
lating the circumstances, asked for assistance to
arrest them. The Captain of the Guard instantly
dispatched Lieut.. McGregor with squad of men
after the fugitves, who were soon overhauled, |
captured and brought back. We saw these men
in the lookup last night. They appeared to be-
long to the class Of found all along the coast
half sailors and half fishermen. They say that
they had no idea of taking possession of Capt.
Stoddard's smack, but had been employed on
board of her. intending to leave to come up to the
city and join the steamer Pamlico an officer of
which had been down there while testing some
guns, and persuaded them to come with him..
They say that when they went on board of the
Express, Capt. Stoddard and one of them had a
quarrel, and he left in rage, declaring that they
had seized his vessel They thought nothing of
the affair, and went to sleep, and were in the land
of dreams when Lieut. McGregor came and ar
