GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS.

THE COMMON COUSCIL.-The Council last even
ing passed the resolution 10 pay to each Of the
Metropolitan police stationed in Georgetown the
sum OF $40 per month"; until the meeting Of the
next Congress Of the United States; not, however,
without much opposition.
MT. Marbury argued that they had not the right
to spend the peoples money to pay " Uncle Sans"
debtsj and that IL the present police were to re-
sign, there would be at least one hundred Appli-
cants for their places; and further that the cor
poFatiOn could not afford such an expenditure In
addition to the many other expenses of building a
new market house, and for other things.
Messrs. Tenncy, Craig and Collins spoke In ia
vor OF the measure, and thought II true economyi
asserting that this energetic police force had al
ready made for the Corporation large amounts, BY
strictly enforcing the Corporation laws, thereby
bringing Ia many more dnes than usuali that the
people were now compelled to pay their licenses
TO do business, which has also added much TO the
treasury, and that this police had indeed been the
true cause Of an Overlooking treasury.
ILLNESS OF PROMINENT CrTIzEES.-Dr. Craigen,
A member Of the Common Council, iB lying quite
III at his residence, on DunbArtOn street; also,
Joshua DatemRn, an aged man, who has for many

Of First and Fayete streets, Is fast sinking with
consumption.

Crouch, were arrested while driving through the

from Washington. The former, aged about II
yeArs, is newsboy, and wen known TO the

feFent acts OF larceny, but dismissed him on ac-
count of his youth. The courage and acuteness

philanthropc person
