Allegheny Councils held a special meeting on'Saturday evening, to hear the report of the Special Committee appointed some time since ' •with a riew of effecting* a-compromise with ‘ the holders of the bonds issued hy the city to tho Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad Company, amounting in all to £400,000. The following members were present: In Select Council: Messrs. . Atwell, Ash worth, Bissell, Hopkins, Lewis, Lockhart, Riddle, Walker, Wright, and Pres't Marshall. „—? In Criimon Council: Messrs.

Howe, one of tho committee • appointed- to confer with the bondholders, *jtniule> Verbal report, embracing the corres ' pondence- between the committee and Mr. i Lanier, of Winslow, Lanior A Co., New York, in April last. Negotiations dropped, incon sequence of the stirring events nowagitating -the country,' l and-were not resumed until a few days since. .-Mf».-Howe proposed a resumption of the correspondence, a week or two since, but • learning that Mr. Lanier would soon be in the ' city, postponed the .subject until his arrival. . The committee and Messrs. Lanier and Meyer, 11 the Utter a largo bond holder, held a consul tation,and aftersom'e propositions had been offered and discussed, finally agreed upon the . following: The bonds to bo exchanged for ' new honds of equal amounts, the arrearages of interest thrown off, and four per oent. from January Ist, 1862, allowed on tbe new . bonds. To this proposition Mr. Meyer abso -- ' lately refused to assent, so far as concerned ‘ the bonds uponwhioh he 1 has already obtained judgment.: The oommittee were not prepared % to make any suggestion to : Councils as to ; what course should be adopted.' ' | An ordinance proposed by. the City Solicitor, at the instance of the Committee, was then . read': ■ -“' ■ - r *' •' ■ The ordinance provides that new bonds he ’ issued to an amount not exceeding $400,000, j bearing four, per cent, interest, payable semi- j i annually, -and irredeemable, oxcept at the i • pleasure of said city, otherwise than by the 'operations of a sinking fond. The bonds will , a run for fiityyears, with coupons attached, and l will be issued bond for bona of those issued to • the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad Company ' -£-the new bonds to be received in full pay ' ment of-the old, and in satisfaction of all ar rearages of interest thereon, whether under or In judgment—Uxe old bonds and • coupons to bo taken up and canoe lied, and the > judgments to be satisfied on payment of Codrt costs and expenses by the city. ' That for the • purpose of promptly meeting the interest on the new bonds, and for tho creation of a sink ing fund for the ultimate liquidation- of the < new Bonds, a sufficient tax shall be levied an - anally .to meet the semi-annual interest, and . the further sum of-s4,ooo.p*r annum-, to be ' kept.separate and distinct from other funds, . end-invested at least every two years in the < - purchase of the new bonds, if they can bo pro cured; if not, then the money may beinfested .in other funded debt of the city. If neither . can he obtained, the money must then be in : veftedinbondandtuprtgago,properlyiecured, and-the interest accruing to sola sinking fund ' mustbe.tisod for the purpose specified." Howe explained that while the Com • jnttteo felt that they had performed all the duties required of them; afid-wore'not pre pared to suggest any course for "Councils to periue, they had. suggested to tho Solicitor the preparation of tbe ordinanoe just read,'as embodying in its most intelligible shape the ; . proposition of Mr. Lanier, with the legisla tion requiredto meet it. • '*' Mr. McDonald offered the following rcsolu • "tidn: • : ■ Hero Iced, By the Select and Common Coun cils that we deem it inexpedient at the' pres ent time to take any actionin regard to com promising with the Railroad Bondholders, as it is just on the eve of a city election, aodour . time of just about to expire. The .cub joct irof too’ much imporUnceto the' citisons to be legislated upon nastily: it involves an annual tax which weigh hoavily on our city. '■ Therefore, we believe it should be left to the Councils of 1862 to-make the provisions for they beiioved it’to'bo just. . ; Oha motion to adopt the resolution, Mr. -'McDonald spoke at length, in favor ,of the /resolution, and in opposition to-the action .•proposed by the ordinance. 1 Ho coatcndad * ihat it was actually an appropriaticm v of t>oO per annum, and ho was not prepared ,to • ' Vote for such a measure at tho close of his team. When the new Councils were voted for, the matter could be brought before the peoplevand an expression of their views upon the subject cottid be had at.tho same time. This bond question was not in any-shape one of.thft issues af the time of his election, pr that Af tfc* present Councils, and he tavoredi; tho ; of the, matter directly before-the people. Gentlemen might assert here that the people were in favor of the settlement of the uond questiqn and the lovy of a tax, but ■how did they knowit? The gentlemen them . stiver might favor the course, but they did not know how a majority of thepoople would act; the question should be put before them. *;?or. one, he knew no prccedeStfor an ap propriation at the close of. the year, and . would oppose it. .! ; Mr.. Atwell replied. -He thought the sooner Coaocilr enterea uponthe settlement of this - question the better. r Unless something Was done very--toon*to relievo the 1 treasury from tbe burthen of the executions now resting ou it, the wheels of the city government Would be looked. Until that execution.was removed, sot one dollar could be paid out next year. > The payment of this railroad debt has been contested until the last extremity. It has • been appealed from oho coort to another until decided against the city by the highest court ‘ ’ln the. United States. . There was nothing left j-sow to do but to .provide for tho payment of • thebonds, unless some compromise could bo •fleeted. Every - legale remedy has been ex hausted, and the debt must bo paid. . ' Mr. Hutohinson called Xbe attention of the . -lastspeeker to thafacl that assertion was not • always‘.exactly proof. Tho cases had been parried through the courts, and Judgments fchd gone afalnst the city, but it did not. by ! 'any aliens foilow-thmt the claim nut be paid.! "Execution end collection' were two different thlnp, as any one could tell who ever sued railroad companies, _lt wes one thing to 'wln a suit against them, and another to secure its 1 liquidation.He for one would not Support this measure, nor pay this tax. If the people at the ballot box instructed him to vote for the' ordinance, he would do it, but not otherwiie. • > Mr. Biddle supported the same views as - -Messrs. Atwell and Asworth, with the addi tional suggestion, that instead of levying an additional tax of $lO,OOO, it was. saving an . annual tax of $14,000 to adopt this ordinance, U’ the proposition Should be accepted, as the priAent debt, unless compromised** proposed, .would rsqaixc provisions for meeting an in terest per annum.- (v -‘Mr; AtW#U wished to know how the sup portCrs of the resolution proposed meeting toe;judgments for5JO,OOO, for whichexecu tiohs liave bees Mid on the city treasury. Mr. Howe statedthat Mr. Meyer, informed j the eominittee' that unless some compromise 1 was effected, he would enter suit In January-; on the rest of the coupons whioh ; he repre sented, and if resisted .and. forced to prove; ibis claims to judgment, he would- not com-; .them. j ,i!Mr. .King, ortho -Committee, explained l •that Mr- Meyeris remarka were not made Jn ; thatutare of a threat, but simply that such ;were his lnitrueUons from the Bondholders whom te ■ represented.

Many editions have rapidly succeeded each other, to keep pace witty the wide demand for the writings of the most popular author of our times; but in meeting this demand, pub . lishera did not often seem to regard elegance of style as a de/ideratam; and banco (he ad mirer of Dickens, who would hare his favor ite author honored .with all the accessories of art, graphic and typographic, had to resort to the English market to supply himself. Now, however, this will no longer be necessary,— as the edition projected by the enterprising publisher whose name we have given above, will meet every requirement of the most re chercht book-buyer, who would add an exqui sitely beautiful specimen of the typographic art to his household treasures. We are hap py to have at length the promise of such an edition of tho works of Charles Dickens as the present is designed to be. The three volumes before os, containing tho Old Cariosity Shop, evidence most rily that a rival totha ; flneat English book work can be produced by a spirited American publisher, whose venture, we trust, will be as successful, in a business point of view, as it deserves to be. It is a luxury to read a book in tho production of which so exquisite a taste has directed everything. ‘Thanksgiving. A Sermon preached la tlie Arch Street Presbyterian Church, on Tbundiy, Novem ber 28th, loci, by. Charles Wadsworth, (Published by Request.) Philadelphia: T. B. Peterson Jt Brothers; Pittsburgh: For sale by Henry Mil.or, Fifth Street.** ' ' Our readera, many of whom had the pleas ure, some months ago, of hearing this elo quent divine discourse in his own peenUarand striking style from several palpus in these cities, will only require from us the bare an nouncement of this publication. Dr. Wads worth, in referring to the rebellion, satisfies himself with such an, indication of the cause as even the most ‘conservative’ statesman in or out of power cannot : object to. He* says: “The grand obstacle to our permanent nation ality has been, from the first, this heresy of State Sovereignties—the selfishness of the old Colonial and Confederate eras, transmitted as hereditary virus to disorder the functions of constitutional life. But the effect of this war must be to ,annihilate that pestilent heresy at-ouce and forever. This indeed, is.its grand end and aim. * If true to our selves, we may, and God helping us; we will -drive out forevor this disquieting,dcmon, and bequeath to the futorb more lhariwc inherited from the past—-a t government, hot only, the freest ana iairost, butas well the most inim itable and mighty of the governments of the world. But obviously this could bo dono only by soro conflicts. • There are evil spirits that yield not to gontto exorcism^—‘a kind that goeth not forth even by prayer and fasting— fiends that cast Into'the fire and into the water to destroy,’ and. must needs ‘tear and rend sore/ even unto a seeming of death, ere they depart forever. WUh/such an bnq are ; wo wrestling, and the straggle is good in itself, and will be glorious in its influences.” So, it is evident that, whilo Dr. W. did not push his analysis of- the causes of this rebelion.beyond the .political' heresy of <r Stato rights/’ even those Who go behind ..this to the real cause, and, who- are not restrained by their “conser vative” antecedents'from stating it, will find in the . above expressions'much that la more truly Commensuratewith the doe per than with the superficial causeof -the rebellion of the Southern Confederates.' .Hut while upaadis- Jhqtoryin this respect, the Thanksgiving Ser mon, of Dr. Wadsworth will in other respects meet the expectations of the reader.- - ’Tia Parsing'Strange!

Indeed, it ap- I pears to be the aim of the Company to crußb ! out every B{»ark of business that would spring up among us. As an example—wo gave them the right to run their engines and trains nearly two miles on ono of our main thor oughfares, and erect a great Under box (Du quesno Depot) in uur midst; and, as a return, they positively refuse to lot a Pittsburgher deposit one pound of freight in it, giving it exclusively lo Moesrs.

The shoes hud been stolen from Josoph Bierman, employed in tho store of Peter Staub, and were valued at a dollar and thirty-seven cents. It appe&Ti that a daughter of Caney had given him the price of a pair of shoes, out of her own turnings, but instead of paying for them he had resolved on having the shoes and tho .motley both, ilia daughter subse quently appeared and demanded her money, while he was committed to jail to answer at Court.

Zouave Cadets, Capt. T. J. Ahl, of this city, (Co. H., CM. Geary's Regiment) got a “smell of powder” a few day* since, from a rebel battery. The affair is thus de scribed by an eye witness : “A detachment of the 28th Pennsylvania Regiment, stationed about a mile above Har per’s Ferry, eunristing of Company H, Capt. Abl, has just been the recipient of warm tes timonial* of tho proneness of the rebels to violato tho laws which in all modern warfare hold sacred the persons of pickets. Scouting and marauding parties of cavalry havo of late been frequently riding about the vicinity of these, the upper pickets, and have of late daily Bred upon onr men. Whenever it has < been returned ihe enemy bare suffered in tho flesh. Upon tbis.occasion, finding that a-can non of our command had been withdrawn from ; Maryland Heights, they brought into sight, 1 on Bolivar Heights, about half way between the Charleston road and tho Potomac, two brass rifled six-pounders, with one caisson. Another gnu fired a number of shells from a ravine between two low river hills below the quarters of Company H.~ The two gnus on ihi? Heights opened firo upon the wooden ten ements occupied by the members of the com pany, who. rallied together on the first fire, and Maj. Tyndaie having rode up from gaudy I Hook, where the headquarters of the detach ment aro stationed, deployed the men in a masterly manner, and' tried the long rmnge„of the EnfioUls, bat the distance, two thousand yards, was too great to give response. The two guns ceased for a few moments, when tho gnu of tho favino opened on our flank. The men were then deployed along the hill side, and up the height commanding the neigh borhood of the river. Being covered by our rifles, that gun ceased firing and retired. The shells mostly burst before striking any point, and some sunk into tho earth without explod ing’; and wore afterwards dug ont by onr men. They were of conical cylinder shape, with rifle fluting* cast in the iron around the bases; and also with lead covering around the cen tres. With time fuses they fired very badly, some going off a few hundred yards from the gtin, but with the porcusslon exploder they tired tolerably well. The shells shrieked and hissed nroulfll-the quarters and among the men, without striking ft single man. Our firing was effective, although we had but a limited chance,and only into the ravine. The men wero anxious that they could reach the' enemy, and stood up without flinching. , “After an hour and a half firing the two guns wero taken below tho crest of the bill, and appeared to go into a camp on the west ern slope of the hill, north, of the Charles town road, in a large grove of trees, in which tho action of Boliror Heights was brought to a victorious oloso. Our baltory is expected soon, and then .-Col. will 00 doubt in ' struct hii Parrots to talk-to them whenever they seok conversation. “This is another instance of tho most re markable preserration of lifo in the 28th regi ment, amid the perils of tho engagements in whleh it has figured.
