8 THE DA1L? TELKGKA til PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1870. CITY I It TE LL1 GB?IOE, THE SEW COMMERCIAL EXCHANGE. The Flalahln Tenchrato thli Strnctnre. SB The repairs on this building are being; rapidly rushed forward to completion, and it to expected that in a few weeks the structure will be again ready for cenpancy. The recent Ore entirely wrecked the Interior of the butldlnjr, leaving nothing remaining but the outside ami division walls. In drawing up the plans for the rebuilding of me edifice, the archi tect made many material changes, both In the ex terior and In the Interior, before the conflagration the front of the bnllding had an unprepossessing ap pearance, by reason of the low flat roof, long nar row windows, with heavy, square-top dressings, and the presence of a large square tower, built of brick, and supported by four columns. This has been remedied by covering the entire structure with a handsome high French roof, diminishing the length of the windows and arching them, and the strengthening of the supporting columns of the tower (a portion of which has been removed.) By using the lofty Mansard roof the architect also btilned a greater elevation for the celling ef the main room. The room formerly, by reason of the low roof, only had an elevation of twenty-six feet. By the present plan it will have a height of forty-two feet. The first story Is constructed after the old plan. The stairway and general arrange ments are likewise modelled after the same plan. The main room will be elghty-secn by one hundred and thirty-two feet. In the old structure a colon nade surrounded the stairway, but at present the room is entirely clear. The celling, which is of the style known as the coved, will be enriched with heavy panellngs, handsomely frescoed, comprising cmblamatic designs, auch as commerce, agriculture. mecbanlrs,and the ams of the leading commercial titles of the Union. The room will be furnUhed with a rostrnm, tables for members to display samples, test or mixing tables, etc The entire building is under cover, and a large force of work men are busy putting the linlshing touches upon the interior.

One Reoveit. ef the New Cnmlln Relnsed Another Cvmpllod With. A meeting of the old Public Buildings Commission was held at noon to-day, President W. S. Stosley In the ehalr. ... The Secretary read a communication from the new commission requesting the old board to turn over the property in Its possession, Including the room in which the meetings were held and Its r ur- D MrRobblns moved thit the commission comply. Mr. Sperlng said that, as this commission had an end, the new commipslon might also have an end. That was created by the Legislature, and the same means could be used to disband 1U This commis sion might, under the circumstances, make a state ment to City Councils of the present state of affairs. Colonel I'age argued that this was by no means a dissolved commission, as there was no law to that effect. We are trustees, and as such should render an account of Its stewardHhip. It was not fair that this commission should go suddenly ont of exist ence without rendering an account. Money had been appropriated, ami a full account should be given to Councils. He moved to amend that the use of the room and its lnrniture be tendered to the new commission. Mr. Gillinghom thought Councils should act In thlB matter, as the property In the custody of the old comnilEBlon was the property of the city of Philadel phia. Councils had created the board and they should legislate it out, if agreeable to them. Mr. Walters did not think that the old commission had any report to make. He saw no reason for the dismemberment of the old board. The only question was, shall the old commission give the new commis sion the use of the room? He saw no reason why that courtesy should not be extended. The only thing the old body should reserve to itself was the right to the use of the room when It wanted to use It : for such a state of affairs might transpire. Mr. Robbins understood that the powers of the old board had been destroyed by the action of the Legis lature, and under the circumstances he saw no other way than for the transfer of the property, etc., to the new commission. .! A vote was then taken on transferring the nse of the papers, models, books, etc., which resulted in 2 yeas and 6 nays. Not agreed to. The vote taken on transferring the use of the room and furniture resulted favorably. Mr. Sperlng moved that the old commission mane a statement or tne matter to councils ana asu mcir advice as to further action. Agreed to. Mr. Pnizh moved thnt the model of the public buildings in Independence Hall be removed for safe keeping subject to the discretion ortuis commission. Agreeil to. rne commission men aajourneu.

Yesterday afternoon the adhe rents of two rival fire companies became engaged In an altercation at Passyunk Road and German streets, from words they came to blows, and finally blackjacks and pistols were lreely used. The fight lasted for nearly an hour and some of the cars on the Fifth and bixtn street line were detained in con- seouence, so great was the crowd congregated. As customary, the pelloeappeared on the ground after tne disturbance was over, m o arrests were maae. Suspicion of Larceny. A lad named James O'Brian was arrested yesterday on suspicion of the larceny of sundry articles from a store at Sixth and Commerce streets.

Important Statistics. Gtc. Etc. Etc., Etc., Etc. FROM EUROPE. An Attempt to Retake Orleans. Tours, Oct. 24. Nothing official has yet been received from the armies around Orleans. It is rnmored, hewever, that a battle is imminent there. The French will make an attempt to re take the place. England and the Peace Movement. Fcara are entertained here concerning the Euddcn decision of England to mediate between France and Prussia. Some parties imagine that it h a plot to aid in the dethronement of the Bonapartists, and others seem to acquire confl dence in the eagerness of Great Britain to brini about a peace. It has been generally con sldereu that England is willing to work more for the interests of Prussia than those of France, and the significance of her move mcnt is apparent now that the difficulties in taking Paris have been demonstrated. Besides this, England is also aware that the large French armies just organized are quite prepared to act on the oiTensive; that the bad season is at hang, and the difficulty of obtaining food for the Germans is rapidly increasing, in consequence, and that General Trochu is pre paring a series of formidable sorties. The jour nals and people who take notice of this phase of affairs accord England no credit for her tardy action. It is assured here that the Paris Government will not cede an inch of territory nor pay a franc of indemnity, and it is - feared the struggle will have to go on to the bitter end unless the condi tions prescribed by Prussia are very moderate.

The Court Martial of the Colored Cadet. The third day's session of the general court martial at West Point began on Saturday morn ing. The business of the day commenced with the counsel for the prisoner requesting the op portunity to send for S. M. Capron, at Hartford, Conn., and introduce his evidence as to the veracity of Smith antecedent to his cadetsblp appointment. The Judge Advocate demurred to that, and held it Irrelevant to the ca6C, as it did not apply to accused in his military career. The first witness examined was Cornelius Busscl, employed as a laborer. He stated that he knew Wilson and Smith, and saw some of their difficulty on the date alleged; saw Wilson get a drink at the tank; Smith then came up with the gnard pail and pushed it against Wil son and shoved him off the tark; saw both striking each other, but could not tell who gave the first blow: they fonght with cocoannt dip pers; saw Wilson cut over the temple with Smith's dipper; saw two or three, perhaps more, blows given; heard them say something, but could not tell what It was; did not see that Smith was angry when he shoved his pail against Wilson. John Miller, a hospital steward, deposed that at about 6 o'clock P. M., August 20, he dressed the wound of Cadet Wilson at the hospital, and described the wound; it was over the left tem ple, and might have been dangerous; there had been a great deal of hemorrhage; patient, who seemed excited, was put to bed; tne wound healed rapidly. The Judge Advocate then closed the testimony on the first charge and specification and opened the second, which is as follows: Charge II. Conduct unbecoming anomeer and a gentleman, in violation of naragraph 127 of the United Slates Army regulations, Military Academv. Specification. In (this, that Cadet J. W. Smith, having been reported, on the 18th of August, ls;o. for replying to "file cloBer" in a highly disrespectful manner at drill. P. M.. after having been spoken to In the line of duty, did submit to the commandant a written explanation therefor, stating, "I spoke to no "file cloaer' during the drill, nor did Cadet Corporal Heacom spvas to me during drill at any time," which statement was raise. Cadet Edgar S. Beacom, the "file closer" of the date mentioned, corroborated the truth of the allegations In the specification, with a men tion of incidents; that was the only instance where he had ever reported accused. Cadet William 8. Davles testified to the main facts in the proceeding, and that Smith replied to "file closer" in an audible but not loud tone of voice. Cadet B. Dyer, Jr., told nearly the 6ame storr. Cadet Augustus c. ryier ciia tne same; smith turned his head to reply to "file closer," but witness could not hear what that reply was. 1 he rendition of testimony was exceedingly slow, careful, and deliberate, which made the proceedings correspondingly tedious. But upon the whole a military court presents many pleas ing features, in some respects superior to our civil courts, tor instance, an tne witnesses as well as members, by professional discipline, are subdued Into habits of exactness, order, and quiet, and there are no bickering contentions that so often mark the course of civil suits, At noon the motion to adjourn to some day this week prevailed, several officers leit on the afternoon trains.
