The recent ordinance of Councils, requiring the City Treasurer to stamp and number each warrant, and make patmeut according to pri ority, appears to occasion considerable incon venience.

THE CELESTIALS. CrU'bi'ntloii of the Ilirtliriay of Tzii-an Ili3migtiti.lioii, the Kniprews Dowager. A Boston correspondent writing from that place, on yesterday says: "To-day is the anni versary ot a very Important event, lu the record of tbe imperial family ot the Hian Fung, and was duly celebrted by the Chinese members of the Embassy. This morning at uu early hour the attaches of the Emb.issy dressed themselves in their otlicial robes and waited upon the Tajens, who occupied the parlors used by Chih Tajen. 1 he occasion was the official recogni tions, accordii g to the customs of their country, of the birthday of Tzuan, Huang-tai-hou, or Empress dowager. The Em peror Illan-Fong, as is the custom with a.l emperors of China, hid three principal wives first, the Empress ot the Middle Palace; second, the impress of the Basiern Palace, and thir l, the Empress of the Western Palice. The Em press ot the Middle Palace being deceased, Tzu an, or Empress of the Eastern' Palace, 1s now the senior Empress. The birthday of Tzu-an, Iluang-iai-hou, occurs, according to the Chinese calendar, on Chi-yen Chu-er (twelfth day of tha seventh month), which this year corresponds to this day (August 28.) In China these anniver saries are the occasions of great ceremony. All the officials of the empire having the tn'res of the palace are expected to observe certain torms. Those living at the capital, before breik faBt, dressed In Court ait re, call at tbe palace to pay their respects. Thoe at a distance from all the provinces stud memorials up to the imperial personage, ll.e object of honor, "to ask alter his or her health and peace of nrnd." To these memorials a reply is written with a veimillion pencil, "Cneu-an" (I am well). This morning, alter the attaches had paid their re spects to the Tnjens, tho entire party Chih TiiJcii aol Sua Tafru lu front ami tlio youttaj mandarins in a row in the rear, all facing towards the north knelt three times aud bowed nine times. The ceremony was performed in silence aud lasted but a lew moments. At noon Chih Tajen and Sun Tajen, fo'lowed by ihe ycung mundailns, called upon Poo-Tajen (Mr. BurliDgamel in his private parlors. Alter each taking Mr. liurlinuame's right hand in both of their own. Chih Taien. through Mr. Fung as interpreter, Mr. Brown not arriving till late. with erest solemnity said: "We con e in accordance with our custom to inform you that this is the anniversary of the birthoay ot Tzu-an, Huang tai-hou (fcimpress dowarcr Tzu-an), ana that the day has oeen observed iu the uual form by us." Mr. bur bncame Teolled: I am glad to find in this distant land you continue to observe the customs of your own, lor those who ure loyal to their own customs caunot be lalse to their govern ment. As in the case of the birthday of the Emperor, which occurred during our presence In San Drancisco, 1 must again wisu that the Empress dowaeer niav have many returus ot Buch davs. Alter a brief conversation the Tajens and young mandarins retired to their apartments.

There was a serious riot here last night at an Irish political meeting in the Eiebth Ward. The Democrats in attendance exceeded the Republicans in numbers, and somehow or other, each party laying the blame on the other, a fight was inaugurated of a most alarming character. One Mr. John Pone at tempted to state the purpose of the meeting, when the WTn'teBoyHn Blue proceeded to drown his voice with yells, shrieks and groans. Toe entrai ce of the Irish Tanners was the signal for the crowning outburst ot terocity. The scene which followed was of tho most exciting nature from the struggling cro d, where clubs and flags and torch stttJEs waved and fluttered in the wildest coufuion. Hols, yells, proaus, and blasphemy succeeded. The burning torches of the Tanners were over turned and, all aflame, scattered about the room, setting tire the building in several places and requiring instant atieutioo to prevent its destruction. Clubs, fists, slung shots, and revolvers were used, and the Tanners, taken by surprse, by the evidently preconcerted assault, and creaky overpowered, were driven out Into thestieets. Here, the riot still raging, paving stones were called into requisition in addition to otter weapons, and it seemed likely that many would he killed. The alarm bad been sent to the Fourth 8treet Police SUtion, and a squad of policemen came on the double-quick to the scene. Captaiu Kennedy, of the Western Division Police, also hurried down in a bugy, and ri1un up in his cariiaire, ordered the crod to disperse. The presence of these peacemakers hal the desired ellect, and tho rioters ben an to oiperse, when foaie one raised tbe yell of "Sevmour and Blair." For a moment it. seemed as if the assault would be renewed. The police succeeded iu arresting three men, aud the rioter gradually disper. ed. At least none of the Tanners were fonnd to be serioutly hurt, aud mauy more were slightly Injured. It is not known as yet that a sind j member of the attackiug parly was seriously burl, Tbe Democrats as-ert that tbe meeting was not called as a Republican one, that It wts intended as a device to lure Irishmen Into the radical ranks, and tbat tbo outbreak was pro voked by calling the Democrats "dog-," ana bv usiig intents of violence towards them. Tuero is much excitement in the city over the affair, Ueuernl Grant and Family arrived In this city quietly this morning, to spend a day or two with his brother. A Pemonal Kucoiiuter. W. W.
