THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPHPHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1809. 3 Ho, lor North t'urollii tt. To the Kditor of The Jivening 1'clrarnrh. In your iwue of Juno 11, a slight, too alight notice in taken of tlio meeting Iq the Bank of the Republic Buildings o the Biibaerlbcro nad otber parties interested in the stock of the Jnmes vllle and Washington Itallrond and Lumber Company of North Carolina. The very marrow or pith of tho matter was Inadvertently .omitted. I mean the composite character of that meeting. Its most pceullar, yet strikingly valuable feature, I ' ' may bo pardoned for, glossing over in my haste, in penning the article of tho 8th of Juno, ventilating the energy of our fellow-citizens, tho untiring, In domitable lumbermen along o;ir Delaware ave nue, in stretching forth their nrais to the Inter minable forests of the frigid North to swell the trade of our metropolis. Then, as soon as tho temple of tho "god of war" Is closed, tho hatchet burled, and the dulcet notes of poaeo sound throughout our lato perturbed, sorrow Ptrlckcn country, they follow upon tho footsteps rf those bearing tho olive branch to our brethren of the "Sunny South;" not to "hold tho word of promise to the car to break It to tlfts hope," but to bid them be of good cheer, the time of passion has passed God grant forever ! Again, instead of the sharp crack of tho rlllo or the booming of the slego gun, or the confused clatter of the park of field flying artillery, upon tho gen tle brec.e is borne the song of tho husbandman, the lowingof herds, and in tho hummock swamps and primitive evergreen forests is heard tho peaceful sound of the woodman's axo. Again, in the article of the 8tU Instant, under the caption of "G'- ?,headativenesn," I conjured the pence-loving .llanthroplst to take tho front In the reconstr' ion, instead of committing our restored brcth .J of tho land of flowers to tho "tender met 'ilea" of the blatant political dema gogue. ' Well, sir, will your readers believe that tha very spirits I was calling (as I supposed) from the vasty deep were quietly, unobtrusively, yet rcslstlessly encountering discouragements, im pediments, menaces, every imaginable hostile clement among those who were prepared, on their advent, to treat their noble representative, the resolute Francis Lightfoot, with an outfit of tar and feathers and an agrceablo ride on a rail? But "presto!" these same "Hotspurs" now bid all " Yankecdom welcome, "wooden nutmagV and all, provided always they go, as did these broad-brimmed, stnilght-breaPtcd, placid, peace loving, law-abiding, liberty-loving, good old Chester county and New Jersey agriculturalists, with their genial Christian faces bedecked with smiles, while their hands were extended, not mcaninglesRly empty, but full of hard-earned dollars, to the restored landholder, bidding him with the "material aid" to work out for himself and posterity a glorious destiny. Of such was composed tho meeting of stockholders of tho 10th, 'with the enterprising Gaskill at their head. I was taken, I confess, by surprise. With regard to the work in their hands, with tho great and liberal privileges accorded thcin by the State, and with their prolific farms iu old 'hester and Burlington and Salem forming the backbone of the undertaking, there can bc'pros pcctively "no such word as fail;" and while listening as a privileged spectator to their de mure yet fervid, even-toned remarks (not spread eagle speeches), I was ready to toss up my cap and shout, "God bless Quakerdom!" if com prised of such. L. S. C. maws guivir.iAR-g-. Cit-r Attain. The corner-stone of the Chapel of the Board man Mission of the First Baptist Chuck 'was laid yesterday afternoon, at Broad and Reed streets, " with appropriate ceremonies.

In the Cortes Prim declared that all officers who refused to take tho oath to obey the Con stitution would have their names stricken from the army rolls. K Sagosta, Minister of the Interior, said that, now the Constitution and Regency had been adopted, the shouting of republican cries In the street would be a legal offenso, and would bo prohibited. The declaration produced a great sensation In the Chamber. Marshal Serrano will take the oath of office as Regent on Friday. Trouble is apprehended. London, June 17 Midnight. In tho House of Commons to-night Mr. Otway said that when the Republic of Mexico was re-established, It declined intercourse with powers which had re cognized thc empire, and the British Minister consequently withdrew. Tho Government had no objection to reopen relations, but the over tures must first come from Mexico. Mr. Gladstone, in reply to a question from Dr. North, explained that Mr. Bright wrote his recent letter to the Birmingham meeting without consulting his colleagues, and on his own re sponsibility. Tho Government had no intention of threatening tho House of Lords, p'ack estate of the kingdom was entitled to the fullest free dom of speech, and ho would regard with great jealousy any attempt to Interfere with ii, espe cially if made by a Minister of the Crown. Ho, himself, and Mr. Bright, both discouraged any fopular action leading to interference with tho ndependence of the lords. Wherever overtures had been made to them to attend public meet ings, thev had both steadily declined. In the House of Lords to-night there was a crowded attendance, and great Interest was manifested in tho proceedings. Lord Cairns, nini(f cheers from the Opposi tion, put the question whether Mr. Bright's letter had been expected by the other members of the Government, and whether, in tho present crisis, it was a proper support and assistance to give tho Government? lie said tho Government must either cudone or repudiate the letter. Earl Granville, in reply, admitted the authen ticity of the letter, and said the Cabinet had declined to discuss the policy to bo pursued if the bill should be rejected. He knew that none of his colleagues, except Mr. Bright, had any knowledge of tho contents of the letter until it was published. He thought the Cabinet was not responsible for the individual opinions of its members, and, for himself, ho regretted Mr. Bright's language; but he had Mr. Bright's authority for stating that lie had no intention to express disrespect to their Lordships, and if any pain had been caused to them by his words, ho expressed un feigned regret. Bkemen, June 17. The King, in opening the new naval port of Heppens, returned thanks to the promoters of the enterprise. Although tho Into King hud commenced this work, political circumstances subsequntly interferred with the establishment of a German port here, bat Provi dence had now permitted him to accomplish what Ills brother began. Ho would look with cheerful confidence for the development In tho future of the young German navy. London, June 17. Telegrams from Constan tinople state that the Porte protests ngaiust the power assumed by tho Pasha of Egypt to Issue invitations to crowned heads for tho "open ing of the Suez Canal. Such Invitations, it is maintained, should only emanate from tho Sul tan, as suzserain of the Pasha. Fi.ouENCE, June 17. Tho King of Italy has prorogued the Italian Parliament. Havana, June 1ft, via Key West, June 17. General Qucsada's report of the battles of May lft has been received. There were two en gagements on the road between Puerto Padre and Las Tunas, resulting in victories for tho in surgents. The Spaniards retreated in a panic, losing iu both lights, two hundred and lifty killed and wounded. The Cuban loss was twenty-live. . Advices from Nucvitas are to tho 11th instant. General Ferrer returned on tho 8th, Laving assisted in escorting a convoy of supplies to Las Tunas. A desperate fight occurred at Brlnosa, iu which tho Spanish artillery compelled tho rebels to retire, but they fell back in good order, and continued to harass the escort until it readied Las Tunas. On their return the troops were not molested, and they arrived at Nueritas with nineteen cases of cholera. A train of ears from Puerto Prin cipe reached Nuevitas on tho 10th, a hand-car in advance of the train being captured by the insurgents. 1 A commission of volunteers was about to leave Nuevitas for Havana, to procure the removal of General Latona. The Spanish oillccrs in that quarter are much disheartened by their inglorious work, but con tinue to make exaggerated reports of operations against the insurgents. Letters from Santiago to the 8th report that two expeditions had landed one near Guanti noma, and the other near Baracoa. Tho first expedition was said to have been annihilated, but tiie truth is that a small party sent out by the filibusters to communicate with the insur gents was cut off, and tho rest were in a pre carious condition. It is rumored that the soldiers have killed General Baccta. CITY COUNCILS. The regular meetings of City Councils were held yesterday afternoon, their regular day. The philosopher in the faded hat, the man with but one eye, and the gentleman who wears a coat with no sleeve to the left arm, were among tne occupants or tue gallery. As there was no prospect of raiu, the usual visitors to the lobbies found more enjoyable pastime in balancing themselves upon the toadstools Iq Independence Square. This was the business done: Select Branch. President Stokely in the chair. To say that Le literally tilled it would be a deviation from the line of truth in which tha reporter of this paper has undevi atingly promenaded. Mr. King offered a resolution directing the paving Of Heed street, in ike area between Tenth and Eleventh streets. This, after some debate, was referred to the Committee on Finance. Mr. Kramer offered a petition that Broad street be paved, from Coates street down ward, wit k Nicholson pavement. The petition in question was about the slzi of a roll of wall-paper. It was referred to the Committee on Highways. Mr. Cattell presumed au ordinance appro priating 3000 to make sundry iuevitablo and indispensable repairs to the interior of the buildings of Glrard College. On the principle that many subsequent ones are saved by a stitrbtaken in time, this bill was passed. Mr. llodpdon reported an ordinance appro priating $28,000 to lay water pipe iu Letiigh avenue between Frankford road and Broad street. Several gentlemen drew pathetio nlctures of the unsatisfied thirst existing in the neighborhood, and of the waterless bath tnb in which young America longs 'to lave. The bill, however, was recommitted. The sentiment of the Chamber seemed to be that ituteded a little inquisitorial examination previous to its passage. The same gentlemen reported from the Committee ou Watsr an ordinance appro priating $123, to be refufided to certain par lies who had made surplus payment on water rents and pipe laying. Passed. Mr. Smith reported, for the Com rait teo on City Property, an ordinnce appropriating $1300 to put the "tobacco warehouse," which is the property of the city, in occupiable con dition. It was stated that the premises are rented from the city by the Philadelphia Warehousing Coujpany; that they are iu suuti condition that the insurauoo companies have increased their rates of insurance upon com uiodities stored within thHin. The measure was at first opposed After some remarks by Messrs., McCall, Bmuui, and Plainly, it passed without a dissenting voie, ' . . Au ordinance appropriating f 3900 to .buy lot for school purposes, in Wood street, east of Seventeenth, was passed. , . . Also, an ordinance appropriating $100 to pay the salary of the Secretary of the local board of the Twentieth Section. Also, one to expend $1300 la rendering weather-proof the roof of the Lincolu Gram mar School of the Fifteenth Section. A report from the School Committee rec ommending the creation of a loan of $C35, COO for school-extension purposes, was re hired to the Committee on Finance. A bill authorizing the purchase of lots on the northeast corner of Eleventh street and Lehigh avenue, another on the southwest comer Hancock and Cumberland streets, and a third in Adams street, was referred to the same committee for consideration. Mr. Jones, of the Committee on Ltw, re ported that, In accordance with spool lie in structions, certain matters in connection with the collection of the militia tax have been closely investigated. The report repre sents that t he complaints of so many citizens of unlawful collection and of unwarrantable inconvenience and exactions to parties inter ested are most certainly well founded. More than this, the report says these griev ance s inflicted upon our citizens by the pres ent deputy collector could, and should have been, entirely avoided. When the present Receiver of Taxes entered upon his ofliolal duties, he appointed, at the request of'the Military Board, Edmund Randall as a deputy to collect the militia tax for the year 18(18. The Receiver, Mr. Melloy, had a list of all the delinquents lor said tax prepared by his predec ssor in oflioe. This was the otlicl.il basis for said militia tax. It was placed at the disposal of Mr. Randall. It was valuable, because it presented the names of those who bad paid the tax and of those who had de clined to do so. The list was so perfect that it included the names of those who, for valid and sufficient reasons, were excused from paying the tax. The re port states that by that gentleman it was contemptuously ignored, and that he pro cured the list as origiually made of all per sons liable to military duty, as returned to the City Commissioner. This, the report states, includes not only the names of all who bad already paid their tax, but of all those who, for proper reasons, had been ex empted fiom the payment of the tax. The report further states that this class of people, when presenting the documents in tho shape either of receipts for payment, or of absolu tion from the necessity of payment, were treated at the room of the tax-gatherer with contumely in all cases, with indignity iu some : and that the general bearing of the oflicia.s toward them was swinish. People crippled for life, it is stated iu tho report, as well as those trembling in the decrepitude of extreme old ago, were serenely iuformod that, unless tbey paid the tax, their little posses sions would be seized upon and sold. The committee report that, in one case, a mm was informed that the crutches supporting his mutilated form were liable to distraint for want of payment of the militia tax. The committee regret the apparent absence of any power in Councils to control the course of conduct pursued by Mr. Melloy's sub ordinates in office, and state that the redress of these grievances rests wholly in the magna nimity and conscientiousness of the individ ual in question. From the Committee on Law was received a report that City Councils do not possess that degree of canine power that enables them to put a tax upon dogs. Mr. Smith reported an ordinance appro priating $0000 to erect a morgue at the junc tion of Corinthian avenue and Brown street. Passed. Mr. Franclscus, of a special committee, re ported adversely to the experiment of mac adamizing Ropo-lerry road at the expense of the city. The report was accepted, and the committee discharged. The resolution from Common Council notifying the Arch-street and llestonville Railroad to remedy the disgraceful condition of their tracks, was unanimously concurre 1 in. Also, one rearranging the election divisions of the Twenty-sixth Ward. The resolution toopen Williams, Memphis, and Sheridan streets was also concurred in. The one changing the place of voting in the Second Division of the Twenty-fifth Ward was indefinitely postponed. A batch of highway bills were concurred in. Also, one to change the place of voting in the Thirteenth Division of the Fifteenth Ward. Also, one authorizing the City Solicitor to employ additional counsel to argue the case of the constitutionality of the registry law. Adjourned. Common Branch.

Mr. Fareira presented a resolution direct- ing the Chief Commisioner of Highways to notify the officers of the llestonville, Man tua and Fairmonnt Passenger Railway to have Arch street repaired and put in proper condition. An amendment including Race, Vine and Twenty-first streets was agreed to, and the resolution passed.
