CITY COUNCIL.

| A meeting of the City Council was called
for last night by the Mayor to receive the
report of the special investigating commit
tee. But one branch, (tbe Common Coun
Gill however, succeeded in obtaining 6
| quorum.
IN THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
but four members-Messrs. Bryant. Mar
bury, Leadbeater and Strauss-appeared
and, after waiting until after eight O'Clock
it was conceded that no quorum was likely
to be present, and the attempt to hold g
meeting was abandoned.
COMMON COUNCIL.
The call Of the Mayor gathered last nigh!
al the hour Of assembling quorum of the
lower beard.
The Mayors communication to President
E:chberg announced that the meeting had
been called az Mr. Brent's request, in order
that the report of the committee On illegal
expenditures Of The late Superintendent OF
Police. Sc, might be made.
The report was read at length and appears
in the official proceedings in another col
umn.
Mr. Brent gave an account of the meth
DDS by which the Commute had pursued its
investigation. II had found names on the
pay rolls as receiving SCH 24 that the Su-
perintendeut OF Police could not find, and
that no one knew or could find, even after
the most diigent search. Mr.. Brent said
that Mr. Idensen had convicted himself of
falsehood in his statements before the CON-
mittec. and that other statements Of wit
nesses hal net been clear. He thought that
action was needed to recover the moneys
which the report showed had been drawn
from the city funds without warrant of law.
It was ordered that the report be publish
ed in the minutes.
Mr.. SnowGen, in introducing resolution
directing Inc Corporation Attorney to sue
on the BOND Of x.Auditor Brockett and eN
Superintendent Coleman for the recovery
of the money unlawiu)iy expended by them,
said that in attending the committee he had
not heard the testimony fifteen minutes
before he had become convinced that some
thing had been going wrong in the financial
affairs Of the corporation. When he saw
names Of men figuring on the rolls as carts
and horses he knew things were not right,
for had they been so no such snbterfuge
would have been necessary. He thought it
the duty of Council to protect the public
interests by suit to recover this money.
Mr.. Peake thought that the amount TO be
sued for ought first to be ascertained.
Mr.. Brent explained that the suit would
be for the whole amount of the bond, So, 900
in the Auditors bond and $1,000 in the
bond of,he Superintendent of Police, to be
satisfied by such sum as was proven to be
due.
The resolution was agreed to without a
division.
Mr.. Snowden suggested that Mr.. Brent
should aid the counsel for the city in this
case.
Mr.. Brent explained that as he was q
member of Council he could accept no pay
for any connection he might have with THIS
case but he would cheerfully give his aid
without cost 10 the city.
No other matter occasioned debate.

THE RESPONSE.

"To His Ercdiency General Washington:
"Sir:-The Trustees of the Alexandria
Academy, having considered your proposal
of investing one Thousand pounds in their
hands for the purpose of educating orphan
and other poor children, the interest there,
of, viz: fifty pounds per annum, to be paid
in the meantime and applied TO that pur-
pose, are unanimously of opinion that the
proposal as set forth in your letter of this
date, addressed to them, is very consistent
with The Institution of the Academy as al
ready formed, and are ready to accept the
same, engaging on their part to do every
thing in their power to comply fu!iy.wlth
your benevolent intentions.
AS to the proposition of leaving it here
after at the option of the Trustees to apply
part of the aforesaid benefaction to the pur,
pose of clothing the objects of it, the Irus-
tees are of the opinion it will be better that
the whole he directed to be applied towards
schooling them only.
