Also; an ordinance autheilzing the "advertising for proposals toil playa. survey fp* a bridge corps the Schuylkill atqltite-liend of Chestnut street. Also, a resolution making transfers of items in appropriation to Clerk of Councils. Also, an ordinance authorizing the Chief Water Engineer to advertise for plans for the erection of an additional reservoir at Fairmount. The ordinance from Common Council appro , priating $57,552 to the Department of City Pro peity for the liquidation of its exponSes for the current year, Inft, wee then taken up. Among its items was one appropriating five hundred dol. la's for labeling the trees in the sguaree with their botanica/ names. Mr. Beidetnan moved to amend this item by substituting $25 for $5OO. JUL Roberts said he could ,not ,compreltond why so strange an amendment should be offered. Mr. Beideman said! that the disbursement of so large a sum for so trivial en object was closely al lied to on absurdity of the first water The task would perhaps oecupy tendays time, and $25 .was ample. • Mr. Coalman considered the matter a hUmbug, and desired the item atrieken out of the list. ,If done properly, it should be done bye botanist, and would have to be suitably paid for. But it could easily be dispensed with, and should he dropped froth the schedule. Tho section was therefore stricken out, and the renaming appropriations were passed finally. The resolutions from Common Council, continu ing the eight temporary clerks in the Tax Ite eetver's office Vas concurred in. The ordinance appropriating $300,500 to the De partment of Highways, was next taken up. Mr. Beideman offered an amendment inserting additionally $l,OOO to pay for advertising for pro. penis for the construction of the Chestnut Area bridge. Agreed to. Mr. Foster moved 88 a still further amendment, • . • - - the insertion of $6,000 in piece of $l,OOO for ex penses of repairing the city railroad. Agreed to. Mr. Common moved that the appropriation for repairing streets be increased from $140,000 to $160,000. After a long debate the amendment was lost. The ordinance then passed finally. Frailey presented a claim against the'oity, for services rendered by the doorkeeper having charge of the meeting of return judges at the late autumnal election. Mr. Morsel's moved that the chamber proceed to the bill on Common Council Me relative to the re-baptism of the streets. lie moved, also, to re• far the ordinance to the Committee on Surveys, with instructions to so amend it that no name shall be conferred upon any street, or court, or allay, which has been laid out by private persons; nor to any street, itc., whatever, unless it be at least fifteen feet in width. Mr, Neal opposed the reference of the bill, as It had already passed through the hands of a special committee, and there was no need for a conflict of authority. Mr. Cuyler spoke to the same purport. The bill now was as perfect as it could be. There were nine hundred and sixty streets in the city, And they bad all been differently . named. The conve nience of the eitizens required that the matter should be arranged at the earliest opportunity: and now that the committee had gone through so immense a task, it woe altogether wrong and ab. surd to doter acting upon it. Mr. C. hoped that• there would be no more puerility manifested in opposing the bill. The President decided that a reference literally to the Committee of Surveys would be out of order. It was then modified so as to make it a motion to . refer to the members of the special committee from this Chamber. After a long debate the amend ment was lost by a decided vote. Mr. Roberts moved to postpone the consideration of the ordinance until the last stated meeting ip January. • The motion was agreed to. A communication was received from Dr. Mar-• veils, of the' Fourth ward, resigning Me seat in the Chamber, in consequence of his erection to the State Senate. A resolution complimentary to Dr. M., was in• trodueed by Mr. Cuyieri adopted by the Chamber; aid ordered to be entered on the minutes. • Mr. Gamble presented a petition from the Ger• =Mown' lose Company, nuking for five band red feet of hose ; alio, for the opening of.

Mr. Parkeropposed the resolution, as he thought tide ivhs not the way to economically conduct the affairs of the city government. The resolution was agreed to. , • Mr. Drayton,4 the Committee on Finance, sub mitted a reportand an ordinance providing for the payment of $4,252 45 for advertising the awes ments of 1856 and 1857, viz : stan to Messrs.

'The 1301taitor would willingly carry the subject to the Supreme Court, but ho was satisfied that judgment would be given there against the city. Ho would vote for the passage of the bill. Mr. Stevenson again oppoaed a the passage of the ordinance. Mr. Ifolinan said those claim have been con tested by the two lost Councils, but the course of the present Councils; hail boon such that the courts would be compelled to give judgment ogathst the , city. lie had no doubt that, unless they passed tho ordinance, judgment would be given against the city for the whole amount, with tnteroat. The same work f0r1857 had been done and paid for. Ms. Miller again opposed the passage of the or. dinance, contending that this work war done with out authority and in defiance of a resolution of Councils. Mr. Parker said he was on the Committee of Claims last year, when a majority of that Commit tee assented to the justice of the claims, but their report was sot aside at OM earnest solicitation of Mr. Stevenson.. Ile believed the claim sleet ,one, and would vote for it. ' Mr. Drayton said there were three sets of bills in this claim, similar to those idiot' had been paid by the city in former years. The proptiotors of the Daily Sun had sued the city, and obtained judgment, with certain reservations. The claims for advertising the assessments of 1857 had' been peid by the oily, and the Courts would decide against the city in these claims. The Solicitor recommends that the compromise made in this bill should be accepted. Ife spoke at considerable length, and thought the ordinance should bo passed. Mr. Steel said ho should take a fair business view of the question. All who bad spoken upon the subject admitted there was a doubt of the le gality of the claim. If the debt was a just one, lot the claimants pursue it to the Supreme Court. Ile woo unwilling to pay any claim of the justice of which there was a doubt. The motion to indefinitely postpone the subject was agreed to. Mr. King Leered to sospond the order of the day in order to submit a report from the special com mittee on the gas works; which eves agreed to.

TUE DEATORS' APARTMENT OP TILE COUNTY PRISON. Notwithstanding our Legislature has long since, and with very great justice, abolished imprison ment for debt, yet it repine a building in our midst, wherein persons can be detained, and not be compelled to go to Moyamensing Prisonproper. The red sandstone building on the north of the pri• eon, in imitation of the Egyptian elyle of architec ture, must continue to exist so long as (EMIRS will let their tongues run unguardedly, and scandalize their neighbors; or until they sense to borrow mourning costumel'under the pretence of going to funerals and forget to return them ; or last but not least, until they desist from taking fabrics to make up iota garments and sell them for theliown bens fit. The sterner portion of creation must 100 not at tempt to run away when they are truggant wit noses in oases, and by all means they mast treat our eourts'of.justice with respect, and settle the claims the High Sheriff may have upon them, or they, too, will make the acquaintance of OM.

A few minutes after 8, gave orders to take in the mizzen royal, and while clewing it up, I observed the upper sails to lift,anci ordered the man at the helm to keep hereff, but he bad scarce time ,to reply, when all three lower masts went forward with a crash. When the masts wont, there was no snore wind to be felt on deck than there had been for some time previous—just a good royal breeze. The foremast Isroke way off at truss hand, and sprung badly under oyes of rig ging, anti alBO in tho deck; antyunaxt broke Offjust above eyes of the rigging; mizzenmast bittke way off at truss band, and about two feet above the deck; foreyurd came down moos the rail and broke in three pieces, As the topmasts went over the side, with all the spars attatthed and above them, and the ship was rolling heavily, with no sail to steady her, we were obliged to out everything adrift, overboard, to keep the spars from knocking a bole in her buttons. The only spars which we saved whole wore seals, cross-jack and mizzen topsail yards, miff on topmast, 'jib-boom, and spanker boom and gaff. Lest all sails above the tope, ex- cept mizzen topiall.
