City Council.

Messrs. Stokes and Scott, from the Market Committees, presented petitions from persons occupying stalls in the meat markets, praying to be allowed to sell salt meats, lard and butter at their stalls.

The presentation of these petitions led to a lengthy discussion, and resulted in referring the papers to the Committee on the Markets. [The continually hammering and patching of the market ordinance will eventually lead to the adoption of free trade, and again put the whole people at the mercy of the hucksters.]

Mr. Hill, from the Police Committee, reported an ordinance concerning backs, drays, parts, wagons, &c. The ordinance prohibits negroes, free or slave, from riding in hacks, unless attending white persons, and unless attending funeral processions, when four hacks may be employed. Doubles the present prices of license, and appoints a general inspector. Laid on the table and ordered to be printed.

Mr. Glazebrook offered a resolution, which was adopted, appropriating $25,000 to the use of the Board of Supplies.

Mr. Scott offered a resolution, which was adopted, offering a reward of $1,000 for the detection of those persons who have been taking hogs, clothing, &c., from the citizens under the pretext of being authorized by the Government to make impressments of the same.

After some other unimportant business the Council adjourned.
