V., composed of Philadelphians, are expected to - arrive in this city tomorrow. This regiment, in the three-months' campaign, was under command of Colonel Charles P. Dare, deceased). It - did yeothan service at Per ryville, and other places commanding the Baltimore Railroad. Tke three months' campaign being over, the regiment re•enlisted for three years, under the command of the heroic Col, Birney. It is now under the command of Colonel John Glenn. This regi ment has been in many battles. At the first fight at Tredelicksburg it pushed on and drove the rebels from behind the famous stone wall, and planted the American flag and the flag of Pennsylvania on the heights of St. Mary, and gave cheers for the Union. That was a bloody scene. The word fail was not in the vocabulary of the 23d. It is emphatically a Phi ladelphia regiment, and deserving a reception that will be creditable to the patriotism of the great city of Brotherly Love. It was not known ' until the ar rival of the afternoon train yesterday, that the regi ment was coming. The news was brought by Lieute nant Frank Taylor, Just from the front. As there will be little or no time for arrangements, it is sug gested that General Cad walader order out an escort," and that Colonel Ricksrds form his gallant men into the line of reception.

We have' an account made up from the monthly tables published in The Press during the year, but fearing that it may contain some mistakes, we await the complete official report. We may say that during the past year the number of buildings erected was much larger, than any other season for many years. The great bulk of the houses were erected in the northwestern section of the city. 'ln West Philadelphia many beautiful buildings of brown sand-stone have been !erected, many of them costing from $15,000 to $20,000 each. That section of the Twenty-fourth ward, near the Satterlee Mili tary Hospital, is really worth a visit.

He was killed In the battle of Gaines' Va, Colonel Gustavus V. Town, who wag called to the command, was also killed at the battle of Salem Heights. Lieutenant Colonel Edw. Car roll bas command of the regiment. He was badly wounded at -the battle of Gaines' Mills, but re covered. The regiment has been in many battles. It returns with thinned ranks, but with - as brave hearts as ever beat with Union impulses behind Union rifles and-muslzets. A DISAPPOINTMENT.—Nine gentlemen, representing, the Cooper. shop Volunteer Refresh ment Committee, proceeded to Washington, D.

The committee took the evening train and reached. Philadelphia on the same night, bringing with them the colors that were to have been pre sented several months since. The 2d Reserves had been expecting the colors for several months.

Now is the time to obtain the large bounty, as the act of Congress de clares that it will not be given out after the sth of January. Those clearing to enlist can join any regiment they see fit, as Captain Cadwallader is the recruiting effect for all the Pennsylvania regi ments. THE t".,,1) YEAR.—Theo c e u t of- firin& the old year out was not -forgotten in the suburban districts last evening, though it was not so extensive mon former similar occasions.

H. W. Graff, is, now full, and the members will re ceive the city bounty tomorrow. Captain G. is desirous of continuing his labors until the regi ment is full. Those wishing to escape the draft and obtain their bounty to-morrow, should call at the barracks at once, at Broad and Sansom street. We understand that quite a number of soldiers, who have wives and children, have invested the bounty money in the 5-20 Loan.

What we want in the journal is the right account of our actions. Motions, when they are made. should be consistent ones. He still insisted on his motion. . . . . Mr. MILLER said that the gentleman from the Twenty .F.meond r. Brigt tly ) haa been mousing among the Journals to find out Amnon:dog. Here.le a matter which has no bearing w hatever upon anything that will here after take plEtee. The words are improper and should not be there.- - For his part, he had. Lot heard those word! mentioned at the time. ' - - - - Mr. ZANE said, according to the rules of the Chamber, we have the- power now to correct the minutes of- the last meeting. It is not expunging the word's; but it is making a correction. This must be a material matter to the opposite side of the Chamber. Some trouble is brew ing. Theis must be something here to make this the exception of other cases. similar corrections have been made in the past, which were not disputed. These words should be corrected, because it was not the Inten tion of the gentlemen who made them to do so. Mr. UHLER said. if this ie nothing. why do the gentle men on the opposite side oppose it? The very fact of this opposition proves that there Is something behind it. That eoznet hing means that the old whale is turning over; 1 and we are now getting a specimen of the blubber. .111 r.

KAMERLY also spoke in favor of the resolution. The resolution passed without a dissenting voice. Mr. LYND. in reply, said he did not feel axle to do tie- Lice to the occasion. Be had always endeavored, to manifest to his fellow members a spirit of kindness, and he trusted that the good feeling which has heretofore Or ieted between him and: the members of Select Connell: will continue so in the future A re, ow ntion of thanks to the clerks and messenger of Select Council was then offered. - Mr. SAMEnLY said he would vote against this resolu tion, and it is our duty to do so, becanse_the passage of it will not confer a compliment on the clerks, and neither will they think it as such. After a few remarks in favor of the resolution by Messrs.

Mr. BAIRD also reported an ordinance, appropriating $250 for the fitting up of the office for the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department- Agreed to The special committee:appointed to investigate into the charges of corruption against certain members of Council, in reference to leering the Girard Coal Lands, samoitted a majmity mid a minority report. The majority of the committee report that after meant - zing the committee they gave to the gentlemen named in the proceedings notice, and resolved -to require the at tendance before them of all persons who might in any way be able to shed light upon charges so . erionsly in volving the character of public officers. and the dignity and reputation of the Councils of Philadelphia. At the business meetings held on the 14th day of De cember, A. D. 1863, the committee was attended by Messrs. Bulger, Barrie, and Panting, who appeared in Person, with his counsel, W. S. Price, Esq., and by the witnesses whose names and testimony appear in the schedule annexed to the report. A fultinvestigation was desired, and, therefore, the largest liberty given in the - way of examination and cross examination of witnesses. A charge to be the basis of a proceeding for the impeachment ohs member of a body like the Councils,of Philadelphia ought not to be lightly made, and, when - made, -- ought to be so esta blished as to leave no reasonable doubt on the minds of - the-examining-body of the guilt of the party accused. Acting upon this belief, as well as a desire to preserve the reputation of our city government, - YVAT committee proceeded to the discharge of their duties. In reference to-Messrs. Bolger and. Harris, it .affords us pleasure to report that the committee are of opinion that there 1s nothing in the testimony presented to them, or in the conduct of these gentlemen. in any way to warrant any charge of corruption, or the attempting to do anything which would warrant the belief tDRI-41.99_ intended other than the proper discharge of'their duties. As to' Mr. Panling, the testimony does not enable them to speak so decidedly in hiacase ; but one witness speaks or any improper act on the part of Mr. Panling. and the testimony of that one person teems to have been obtained by hold routyindncements. Id.l . ek.lte.eleite v n___ - your commitree, therefore, think that his case does not Present such a clear and undoubted case as would war ier t us in deciding that he ought to be impeached, and yet leaves it in such a condition as does not enable Its to declare that he is blameless Your committee, there fore, submit to the Chamber the evidence taken by them, in order that, in relation to Mr. Pauline, such action may be taken as may seem just and proper. Resolved, That the committee be discharged from the further consideration of the subject. B. T. WRIGHT. ALEX .1.--Teee.r . U/C , . of Committee. ms...,,oareity report is signed by only two members— Messrs. Bichols and Barnes—and sums np as follows : 1. That Mr. Panling has been guilty of corrupt prat tires. 311,670.663 2. That Mr. Pealing solicited $2,000 as a consideration for thegrantins of a lease of a portion of the Girard Coal Lands in Schuylkill county. S. That Mr. Panting received too car-loads of coal as another consideration. 4. Tb at ffir. Panting - should be impeached. '5. That the committee find no charges substantiated against any other member of Councils. - The resolution attached to the report calla for an im peachment of Mr. Panting. Both reports were read. - The question was first taken upon the minority report; and the resolution attached to it, calling for an impeachment, was valid down. The majority report was, then considered, when Mr. Loremax said that he regretted to differ with the com mittee in the conclusion to which they had come. He bad known the member from the Tenth ward for some time, and entertained for him a high regard, and regret ted leery much to hear that his conduct required investi gation. The member from the inlet ward he has known many years, and was also surprised to hear he had act ed in the manner set forth in the report of the committee. The present accusation originated in Select Council. The facts obtained by a committee of that body were by di rection communicated to Common Council, which is the tribunal established by law to prepare articles of im peachment against members of Select Council for viola, tions of law. He held that there is sufficient testimony in the report tubmit,ed to place those members npoa trial. The members of Common Council act in the capa city of a grand jury. If probable cause exist it is their duty to say so. Then the members proceeded against have an opportunity to defend themselves, and prove their Innocence, if able to do se. He trusted members might be enabled to satisfy Councils that they. are not guilty of the crime charged. Justice to the community , and justice to ourselves demand that so grave a charge should be fully and thoroughly acted upon Mr. lone-max offered an amen tment to the majority committee's-repot t, that a special committee be appoints I. to prepare articles of impeachment against Messrs. Sill gerund Tattling. Mr. PEALS moved to aid the name of Mr. Barris as being implicated with Messrs. Sniger and Panting, but was subsequently withdrawn in consequence of an ex planation exculpating that gentleman The discussion created a lengthy•debate, in which the characters °aeons Bulger anti Tabling were vindicated from the charges of corruption referred to. Mr. STOKELEY finally moved to lay the whole subject on the table, which was agreed co by the following vote: • . YE Is—Messrs. A, W. Adams, Aregood t Baird, Bower, Bumm, Cayin.

The ordinance from Select Council, regujating the De partment of Highweys, was taken up, Mit no quorum Toting, the bill fed. e Mr. LEECH offered a reso'ution appointing a committee to confer with the Philadelphia, Wilmincton; aria at more Railroad. to ascertain upon whit terms the Gray's Perry can be obtained for the excitu lye rue of the city. The CHAIR explained that such a resolution could have no weight, as Councils would dissolve on Monday. The resolution was therefore withdrawn.' . . . . Mr. WOIRERT then offered a resolution tendering the thanks of Council to the reporters of the press for the faithful manner in which they had reported the proceed ings. Adopted. Messrs. Leeds and. Painter only voting n the negative. Mr. GRAY offered the following: Resolved, That the thanks of th , s Connell are due, and are hereby tendered to , Wilson - Kean, Esq.,,for the im pa,tial, efficient. and courteous manner in which he has discharged his duti o e as presiding officer of this body. In retiring from the position which he has so ably and faithfully filled, he has the best wishes of his fellow members (without distinction of party) for his long•con tinued health and happiness. In urging the resolution, Mr. Gray briefly and quite eloquently testified to the worth and ability of air. Kerr. He asked leave, he Paid. at this time, to offer a resolu tion or thanks to Wilson Kerr. Esq.., for the efficient and courteous manner in which he has discharged his duties as the presiding officer of this body; and in re tiring from the position which be has so ably and faith fully filled. he has, I trust, won the respect and esteem .of every member on this floor Although opposed to him in politics, and having differed with him on many questions.; I am proud to say that he has executed the duties appertaining to this responsible position w.th a fairness and dignity, and has, by his social and Impar tial course, gained the confidence and best wishervof hie fellow-members. Other speeches were made, complimentary to' the re tiring president, and. the resolution was unanimously adopted. Resolutions of thanks were also adopted, complinten• tary to Philip H. Letts and Isaiah H. B atter, amks, and Hugh Collins and James A. Taylor, messengers of Councils. - In reply to the resolution of thanks, Mr. Haan said: .Gentlemen of. Common Council: In your generosity, and in compliance with a time honored cui.tom, you have been pleased to pass a resolu tion complimenting me for the manner in which I have discharged my duty as your presiding °Meer ; for which "Please accept my thanks. In retiring fro,m'this position, I assure you it is without ft e least reluctas ce. The only regret I feel upon this occasion, and. I have no_ doubt it is felt more or less by every member upon this floor. is the loss of several of our most useful members . to whom the public are indebted for their legislative and practical experience. I refer particularly to the gentlemen from the Fifth and. Fourteenth wards -one of whom, the gem' tieman from the Fifth. I have been associated with in this Ct uncil for nearly seven eon , ecntive years. To the gentleman from the Fourteenth, under whom I have eat for upwards of four years, I am indebted. for what little legislative knowledge I now possess. Gentlemen who are about to retire, I assure you that my best wishesgo with you in our retirement to the walks of private life To those who will remain asso ciated. with 'km for another term. I would say .to the that I sincerely hope that their path will not be a thorffy one. This being the last meeting of the members of this Connell reminds us that, in all human probability, the same members will never:meet again this side of the grave, and it is to be hoped that we will all be prepared. at that last great day to answer to our names at roll-call with a proper corttficate .entitling us to a seat in that home n - 6t made w ith hande. eternal in the heavens, qilentlernen, I bid you farewell. ' A number of ordinances from Select Connell were con curred in, and the Chamber , adjourned. [The reporter of The Press' of.

Recently the president of the Virginia Senate has ordered a special election to be held in the city of Norfolk to fill a vacancy in the senatorial representation from that city.

THE POLICE. (Before Mr. Alderman Beltler.l Imposition Fully Developed A man dressed in the uniform of a United States naval officer, giving his name as Franklin Henry Herr, and representing himself as A. D. Herr. of Flushing, Long Island, was arraigned before Alder man Beitier yesterday. A pretty-looking young woman, giving the name of Eugenia Wright, was also arraigned. The man said he resided until re cently at No. 44 Clift street, New York. The young woman said she boarded with Mrs. Schofield on Marks' lane, near Eleventh street: The following interesting developments weremade at the hearing: Samuel Ovenshine, residing in SansOm street, be. low Eighth, testified that on last Tuesday two weeks, Mr. Herr came to the house and represented himself as an officer of the United States navy, and engaged board there ; he said he knew all about my family, knew, my uncle and aunt—in fact all my re. latives ; a few days after -he came to the house, a fur cape. breastpin and ear-rings to match, belong ing to Mrs. Ovenshine, were missed ; no;suspicion was entertained against the supposed naval officer, but finally it was determined to watch his move ments ; about one o'clock, yesterday morning, he was discovered in the room of Mrs. Ovenshine, rummaging about, as though on a thieving expedi. tion; alter which he retired to his own room. Mr. Ovenshine, who, with his wife, had been watching the midnight prowler proceeded to the Central Station, yesterday morning, and related the facts and circumstances. lt 'was thought that he must have had an accomplice. Detective Header. son took the matter in hand, and proceeded at an early hour to the house and ascended to the room occupied by the suspected individual. The officer tapped lightly at the door, to which there was no response. - - He rapped louder than before, and a voice from within said: " Who's there 1" "Get up and let me in,"•was the reply. "Yes, air, in a minute." "Make your minute short." Another rap, and a kick at the door. Yea Mr, yea air, in a minute, I suture you," came the 'voice from within. "If you don't open quickly, I'll burst in upon/ you," said the officer, raising his voice of authority. He listened at the keyhole and satisfied himself that more than one person was within. Presently the door was unlocked, and swinging upon its hinges revealed the wonder.straok hero in dishabille. He affected to be very polite. Walk in, walk in sir," said he, did you wish to see me ; pray sire what the matter "Have you any body here with you 7" asked the " tir, oh, no sir, not all," replied the incon venienced representative of Uncle Samuel'amavy." "i'm not so aura about that," said the officer, as he glanced mound the room, looking behind curtains, doors, &c. At last he opened a closet door—out popped hoops. "Ah, ha," said the officer, " what have we here? atrange, but true, a young woman. She was led out from her hiding place, and, with JosepliSurface, taken to the alderman's office. The parties were committed. It is thought Par. Render son will recover some, if not all the articles, stolen from the house. A Chaise Driver in Trouble.

The driver demanded- $3.60 for damages, whereupon a pas master of the U. S. navy intert'red, and said that amount was extortionate. Uther parties interfered, and quite a crowd collected. A police officer was at hand. The driver sprang on his box and attempted to drive away with the sailor's baggage. The officer arrested the driver, and brought him, horses, chaise, sailor, and baggage, to the Central Station. Witnesses were produced to show the driver de manded exhorbitant pay for the broken glass ; that he resisted the polies officer; that the glass was not worth over $2 60 ; that the sailor had money hi his hand to pay any amount ; that the bystanders would not -let him pay; and, worse than 'all, the boat ,started, leaving him behind. ---- Tne - ohaiee-drlver was required•to enter bail in the sum of $6OO to be of future good behavior and to keep the peace. The alderman ordered the baggage to berestored.to the sailor and then told him he was free to go. _ . •A young MEM, giving.the name Of John RoWland, was arraigned et the Central Station, yesterday af ternoon, on• the- charge of being concerned in pick ing the pocket ofSamuel Gaunt, of Dlullea Hill, N.

These two pri soner s were placed in the same cell with the soldier. The place was dark, the soldier quiet. Presently, loud cries issued from the cell. The officers hastened there, and, on entering the place, found the soldier shockingly injured. He had been kicked and stamped upon, and his lace presented a frightful appearance. Dr. Hooper was called in to attend the unfortunate soldier; he considered his injuries very dangerous.
