CITY BUULETEN. City Councils. —A stated meeting was held yesterday afternoon. - Select Branch —Hr. Barlow, of the Com mittee of Street Cleaning, to which was re ferred the ordinance passed by Common Council, authorizing the Mayor to renew the contract with Henry Bicklev for cleaning the streets of the northern distriotof the city, reported back the bill as committed to them and recommended its passage. The ordinance passed. Prom Philp Fitzpatrick was received a communication offering to rent Dock street wharf, at $7,500 per annum. Another was received asking, on behalf of the Philadelphia, Albany and Troy line of propeller freight boats, that the lease of the wharf he put up at public auction. Referred to the Committee on Wharves and Landings. A communication was presented by Mr. Ft eeman asking a continuance of the lease of certain cdai lands of the Girard estate to the Boston and Mahanoy Coal Company. Re ferred to the Committee on Girard Estates. Fri m the Committeeon Law, Mr. Wagner made a report as to what gentlemen were en titled to meet as members of Counc Is on the first day of January, 1867. It is to the effect that the law requires the organization of City Councils on the first Monday in Janaary in each year. It provides, also, that the term ol outgoing members expires on the last day of Decembers The committee therefore re port that only those members whoas terms have not expired have the legal right to meet in the Chamber on the Thursday pre viour to to the first Monday in January. A n appended resolution was as follows: Resolved. That there be no meeting of Councils between the last day of December, 1866, and the first Monday of January, 1867. This was agreed to. Mr. Freeman offered a resolntion that whereas, the revenue from tavern and drinking licenses is comparatively small, and the expenses incident to a municipality arising from pauperism, growing directly out or the effect of the promiscuous sale of ardent spirits; therefore the Committee on Daw is instrnoted to prepare an aot by which the State tax upon drinking-houses shall be transferred from the revenue of the State to that of the city. Referred to the Committee on Law. A ordinance providing for the payment of $2,000 to Rebecca Nathans, for losses sus tained by her in the opening of Broad street was passed. Colonel Page offered a resolution instruct ing the City Commissioner to report by what authority certain parties are allowed to drive heavy carts into Fairmount Park to draw ice cat from the Schuylkill, Adopted. The bill making appropriation to the De partment of, High ways for 1867, was now taken up. The proviso of Common Council requiring that contracts be given to the lowest bidder, was stricken out. On motion of Mr. Barlow, item 7, for re pairs to roads and unpaved streets, which was @30,000, was increased to §50,000. Agreed to. The bill, as amended, passed. ® The ordinance making appropriation to clean the streets was concurred in. The bill from Common Council to lease Dock street wharf 'was postponed for the present. An ordinance authorizing George W. Hammersley, postmaster at Germantown, to erect a wooden post-office building near the depot, for the accommodation of the people, was adopted. _ Also, an ordinance permitting the erec tion of a wooden building at Ninth street and Columbia avenue, . Also, the ordinance making the •annual appropriation to the City Ice Boat. The ordinance making appropriation to the Department of the City Controller was concurred in, but so amended as to make the salaries of the assistant clerks §1,200 in stead ot §l,OOO. The salaries of the Control ler and chief clerk were raised from §5,000 to $5,600 (for both). The ordinances making appropriation to the Department of Wharves and Landings and to the Department of Law, were con cnrred in. The amendment of Common Council to the ordinance regulating passenger rail ways, was not concurred in. The bill to make an appropriaitou to the Water Department, as it passed Common Council, was so amended as to increase the salaries of those employes receiving §BO6 to On the question of concurring in the bill the yeas were 8 and nays 9. So the bill fell. An oil painted portrait of James Lvnd, late President of Select Council, was how formally presented to the Chamber by Mr. Charles Thompson Jones. The portrait is suspended from the wall beside that of the former President, Theo dore Cuyler, Esq. A series of resolutions, expressing the high regard of the Chamber for Mr. Lynd, accepting the picture, and assigning it a place upon the walls of the hall—after very handsome remarks by bath Messrs. King and Freeman—were adopted. ,* A ?,- ordinan<se mak ing appropriations to the City Commissioners was taken up. Mr. Marcus moved to amend by adding among the municipal contributions to the various churches, “To the Jewish Foster Home, §500.” Adopted. The bill making appropriation to the Commissioner of City Property was then taken up. Mr. Kamerly moved that the item of §6,000, to improve and repair Fairmount Hark, be made §15,000. He claimed that §6,000 would be entirely inadequate to do the merest patching, ft would be better to spend §15,000 at once than to spend twice that snm in petty installments. . Colonel Page thought that just as much approvement would be done with §6,000 as with §15,060, under the present regime. Until the management of the park is placed under the charge of a commission, the smaller sum appropriated to it the better. The amendment was lost. The Chamber insisted upon its amend ments to the Highway bill, and a committee of conference was appointed. From their amendment to the bill making appropriation to the Department of City Controller this Chamber now receded. The School bill, as passed by Common Council, was concurred in, with some small amendments. The Chamber adjourned at a very late hour. Common Branch—Mr. Marcerpresented a communication from the Finance Com mittee of the Trustees of the Philadelphia Gas Works, protesting against a less ap propriation than §6O uerlamp for the public lighting. Referred to the Committee on Gas. A communication was received from th« Board of Directors of'the Fire Department asking Councils to stay proceedings on the Fire bill until the Board could prepare an address to the members of; Councils.' The matter was referred to the Committee on Fire. r A “communication received from Chief Engineer Lyle of the Fire Department, an nounced the suspension of the Niagara and Franklin Fire Companies for rioting. Re ferred to the same committee. The Chamber then passed the ordinance appropriating the animal expenditure to the water Department, with an amend ment to make the Chief Engineer’s salary §5,000 instead of §2,800. " Mr. Miller, of the Committee on High ways, reported resolutions to pave Live, Warnock and Alter streets. Agreed to. Mr. StantoD, of the Committee on Port Wardens, presented a report relating to the , lease of the important property on Dock street wharf. The report states that the pre sent proprietors of the wharf, when it was "rented by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- Lfpany, purchased the five years lease owned F fcy that company, purchasing also the sheds and improvements ereoted by that com-, pany. W hen that lease expired the present, renters released the wharf, at pnblio outcry, for throe years. This latter lease is now, almost/expired, and the committee reported' the following ordinance: /' Section 1. The, Select and Common Councils of the city of Philadelphia do ordain, .Tbat the Commissioners of Markets, Wharves and Landings be, and he is hereby authorized to enter into a lease of Dock wharf, on the river Delaware, with the "Delaware Avenne Market Company, for the term of ten years from the time of the expi ralion of«*he present lease, at the rent of four thousand dollars per annum, payable quarterly. Sec. 2. That the siid lessees shall bind themselves, with sufficient security, to ex tend the pier of said Wharf, at their owu expense, to the Port Warden’s line, to ex tend also through the pier the ; sewer as of its present size and oirection. The work on said extension of pier and sewer to be done within one year from the c jmmencsment of the lease, in the most substantial and work manlike manner, under the supervision of and in accordance with the plan and specifi cations of the Chief Engineer and Surveyor. . Provided, That said lessees shall, at all times during said term, keep the docks of said Wharf clean, and the pier, wharf, and all the improvements, in good order and re pair, without any charge to the city, and, at the expiration of said term, deliver posses sion ot the property so leased to the lessors, including all improvements, (except the sheds), in good order and condition. Mr. Stokley stated that he had proposi tions from other parties offering §7,500 per year for the same wharf. Mr. Stanton explained the action of the committee. The lessees of the wharf are ihe Delaware Avenne Market Company. They own the extensive market property and sheds at the terminus ot Dock street, and their property is ornamental to the city. It is also the only wholesale market open to onr citizens. Itsnpplies a want widely experienced prior to its erection, and which will be more grievously imposed if the market be removed. The rent asked is §4,000, but it will not be all that the com pany will expend. It will agree, and by the acceptance of the lease does agree,/to extend the wharf to the wardensLDme. This great improvement will cost §40,000, or a sum that, divided among the ten years of proposed lease, will make the actual rent of the wharf to the market company §S,OOO per annum. Mr. Hetzel moved as an amendment that, the wharf he disposed of by public outcry, by Moses Thomas & Seas, at 12 o’oloek on January 2d, at the Exchange, no bid being legal unless over §7,000 per annnm. The amendment failed. The ordinance was agreed to. Select Council bills were called up. The resolution not to meet on Thursday next was concurred in. The bill to pay R. Alexander West §5OO for phonographing .the, meetings of the Se lect Council Committee of Inquiry into the Gas Trust was concurred in. The lease to the Butler and Mahanoy Coa! and Mining Company was concurred in. Mr. Palmer presented a resolution of thanks to William S. Stokley, the retiring President. The Chamber adopted the reso lution, and directed a copy to be engrossed and forwarded to that gentleman. Mr. Bardsley, from the special committee to investigate the charge made by Mr. Bil lington, that §2OO was paid for carriage hire by the Common Council committee of in quiry into the management of the Ga- Trust, reported that the amount expended was much less. . Mr. Hancock, from the special committee on inquiry into the circumstances attending the building of the extra chimney on tin new court house, reported that the chimney for which Mr. Colladay retained §B5O coul-a be built of §350. The committee, therefore introduced a resolution instructing the City Controller and City Treasurer to retain §B5O from the appropriation to the new couri house. The resolution was adopted. The School bill was then considered till a late hour; and finally passed without the amendment for the proposed increase of salaries, which came up on an ordinance to appropriate §140,000 for the increase, offered by Mr. StantOD. Adjourned. The German Society.— The German So ciety Contributing for the Reliefof Distressed Germans in the State of Pennsylvania, held its one hundred and second annual meeting at their Hall, in Seventh street, above Chest nut, on Wednesday afternoon. The report of the Board of Managers exhibited the or ganization to be in a very prosperous condi tion. During the year 1866, fifty-five new members were elected, making the present number 603.

Derdin, who is charged with committiDg numerous boarding-house rob beries under the names of Charles Davis, John Green, William Wilson and others, had a final hearing yesterday afternoon be fore Alderman Beitler. The Mayor’s office was crowded with persons whose personals —clothing, jewelry, &c.—had been carried off by him. He had gone from one board ing-house to another, remaining but asingle night at most of them. His operations had extended as far as Frankford, where he had stolen money as late as Christmas morning.
