THE ODD FELLOWS' CONCERT.-The love of music is inherent in every breast, and there are few en? tertainments that are more acceptable to a com? munity than a concert ; this has been proved by the large audiences that attend the amateur con? certs given in this city. T e concert of Thursday night, will he in no respect inferior to those that have preceded it, but will be conducted hy profes? sors of known ability, who win be assisted by the best musical talent in the city. By referring to the advertisement, it will be seen that the com? mittee of arrangements are gentlemen well known in the business circles, and their names would alone be a sufficient guarantee for the performance. Merrie May is the month for enjoyment, and we feel confident, that the anticipated concert will he a success, The announcement that it would take place, bas already caused a flutter in many breasts, " and an overcrowded house on Thursday night will prove : that- neither, the, musical or charitable feel? ings pf the commninity are torpid. . . PETROLEUM.-The frequency of large fires, and the danger often resulting from the improper stor? age of inflammable material, induced Council to frame a bili co "Beguiate the storage of Petrole? um, ita producta, and other inflammable oils." This passed its third readinp; at the late session, and becanje an act, ta take effect thirty days from Its pasBag6.->^EbJ'pradpal.Ja>aJh3rea of the bill are that no Petroleum, pr kindreilous, shall bo stored eon th of linevatreei in quantities exceeding forty or fifty gallons, aha:such quantity to be kept in a metal vessel"; and,-when^arriving in the-city, it shall not remain unbound t langer than twenty-four bonn. - -Jl. -, It waa the general wish, not enly of Council hut of many merchants, to place restrictions upon the - Bale bf these oils without hampering trade, and the bill hps been made extremely simple. By a careful observance of its provisions the frequent occurrence of fires may be checked, fer if they bava not been traceable to the canse, yet th? re? moval of such inflammable material will eventu? ally conduce to the welfare of tho city. The last clause in the bill imposes a fine of $200 for ita vio? lation, and all parties concerned should take meas? ures to at once sec ure themselves. THE STORM OF YESTERDAY.-May, the gentlest mildest month in the year, was metamorphosed . on Monday night, into a weeping, windy, crusty Hay. - The skies lost their cerulean hue, th" * : irs hid behind the lowering clouds, and swift descend? ing rain convinced the belated passenger, that the windows of heaven were opened, and the plugs loosened. This change was very sudden, and al? though the weather WOB somewhat sultry the day previous, few persons expected to see so fierce a .... .'demonstration made by the blustering god: Old Boreas had evidently been watching his opportu? nity, and succeeded in raising such a gust that quiet cisterns awoke alarmed, thinking that they had mistaken the season, or that some convulsion of riaturehad occurred. Limbs were torn from treeef and in many instances the trees themselves prostrated ; tiles and slates blown from houses, and fences prostrated. . The old fence that partial? ly surrounds the new Custom House lot, was blown down, 'hut this will not be s great loss, as it was neither ornamental or useful, and would soon have been removed to make the intended improvement on the street. On the water, the effects of the storm was more severely felt, and the damage re? sulting from its violence and fury has probably been felt along the line of coast. In the harbor, the waves were in violent commotion, and on East Battery the spray was thrown into the houses on the opposite side. The change has been benefi? cial in cooling the atmosphere and in laying tbe dust, which before was a perfect nuisance, but if the storm extended any distance in the interior, W? mit} expect io hear of considerable damage done to the growing crops. Tax Fms PROOF BUTLDINO.--This old building is 1 gradually losing its dingy dungeon-like appear ance, and is being transformed into a comparative? ly light and airy structure. The Commissioners of Public Buildings have recently ' determined to make several improvements in the basement, and Mr. JAB. M. EABON, a member of the Board, has already effected a great change by removing the heavy iron shutters, substituting a light open work iron frame. -The new latiee work is in thorough keeping with the building, and is a vast improve? ment1 on the heavy unmanageable shutters, whose only recommendation was that they were iron and looked imposing. The Fire Proof Building gartered severely daring the war, and everything valuable about it, inclu? ding even the wooden frame-work of the doors and the flooring was carried off after the evacua? tion. In the impoverished condition of the coun? try the work of repairing and restoring the build? ing to its former appearance was necessarily slow, and the Board had to proceed in this undertaking by degrees. The offices on the first floor soon . lonna occupante, but it is only recently that any application has Seen made for those in the base? ment. Anticipating this demand, Mr. EABON has ; been engaged in remodelling these lower rooms ; mid making them habitable as offices. Two of the rooms on Meeting street have already | . been,engaged by General WAQBNEB, the <^mmis sioner of European Immigration, ais bis -office. . They are not jet completed, but a oursory glance ; ia sufficient to ?how that, they'will 'answer the par- j , poses intended admirably, ?jj S The long corridor 'has been whitewashed in a Buperior manner, and new " caseing" frames and .,. floorings furnished. When the windows' have been altered and the intended improvements completed, aix light airy rooms will be formed that will be in every respect adapted for lawers' offices. The cen- ! tra! position of the building, and its daily use by the lawyers to oxami ne records and other papers, taake it jeapocial^a; ^?g?gr?hia purpose. The I progress of the age-liasta^Brfrffid jhe idea that darkness and strength should ;^nqir found t > be the safest plan to mS^.f _ l ;?or of a bin?ding open to the public view, and the iron frame work on the windows win not only let in the light and air, but win prove an admirable I against robbers. PERSONAL.-Wo had the pleasure of. meeting in our office last evening. Mr. StDjnrr AKDREWB. of the Boston Advertiser. Mr. AKDBEWS is apprecia? tively known North, both as a most superior news? paper correspondent and clever essayist. BUBBTNO THE Crrr BILLS-The Special Commit? tee appointed hy Council for the purpose of des? troying the mutilated City Bills, meet to-nicrht at tho Council Chamber to perform this task. An oblong iron cairo has been ruado which will be filled with tho doomed Mlle, and the contents then Ignited. As the bills aro not only torn ?rd de? faced, but from passing through so many hands oro rather oleaginous, it will rot he a difficult mat? ter to reduce them to ashes. THE AMERICAN F ABUTER for May ha3 como to hand. It ia filled as usual with matter interesting and instructive. Among other papers it treats of Stalling Cattle; Marl and Limo; Grass Culturo and Dairy Farming; Largo Farms and Associated Capitel; Milk and Butter; Experiments in Manur? ing; Cse of Field Pea: Farm Wages; Supply of Water; Alderney Cows; Valno of Clover; Fish as a Manure; Uses of Lime; Undordrainage; Barnie, a now Southern Staple, and a variety of interesting articles. Published by WOBTHESOTOK & LEWIS, Baltimore, at two dollars & year. j THE HTBERNICON is growing in favor. Notwith I standing the inclemency of the weather, the hanse was crowded to its utmost oapacity; all being I desirous to take a lost look at dear Ireland. The audience was well entertained, and gave abundant proofs of the appreciation, all through the perfor? mance. Professor MCEVOY is well np in his part, and Barney a universal genius; "Judy" sings well, rendering tho national airs of Ireland with inimit? able pathos. The "Widow Macbrae" was a trifle too fine a lady for our ideal of that celebrated character. But on the whole, we wore much pleased with the panorama, the songs and the jollimont. The Hibernioon, our readers will be pleased to learn, will exhibit again to-night, and for the last rime. MAYOR'S CODBT, May 7.-A youthful colored per? son, named Jamos Manigault, who undertook to sell fish on commission, but forgot to toke ont a ticket which would give him the privilege, was fined $2. Venders of segara and tobocco, aa well as of soda water, were fined for opening their stores on Sunday. James Henry, usually called Bull Head, a most interesting black boy, was imprisoned two weeks for going into a gentleman's residence and stealing two overcoats. He waa also up for entering an? other house, at 12 o'clock in the day, and attempt? ing to rob, but was discovered and caught. It is quite probable that before long he will ornament tho dock in the Court of Sessions, preparatory to a visit to the Penitentiary. Amelia Anderson, a young woman of color, more devoted to whiskey than to dress, who had got drunk and was riotous in tho street, and using in? decorous language, was fined $5, which she ac? knowledged with a very smiling countenance. Cottar OF GENERAL SESSIONS AND COKMON PLRAS, Hon. R. Musso, presiding.-The Court was opened at the usual hour, and the Jurors answer? ing to their names, were organized aa follows: Jury Wo. 1.-John G. Grane, N. H. Hunt. T. L. Qua .kenbnsh, Wm.

JOHN FABBABEE VS. W. W. Toa EBB, trespass. A verdict of $15 was rendered against TUCKER. Messrs. WHALET, MITCHELL and CLANCY ap? peared for the plaintiffs, and Mesar?. RIVERS and Den YEA for the defendants. TJ. S. DISTRICT COURT-Hon. GEO. S. BRYAN pre? siding.-The Grand Jurors were called And the fol? lowing Grand Jury organised: George W. Williams, Foreman; W.'W. Pember? ton, W. C. Courtney, James Allan. W. E. Haskell, Prod. E. Fraser, Phillip L?tz, John H. Honour, Jos. M. Curtis. C. J. Hau, Chas. A. Lengniok, Chas. Love, W. M. Bird, H. W. Black, D. Apeler, James Carey, W. C. Biggs, Patrick Kennedey, John Ken? ney, H. BoUman, Samuel C. Black, John H Peter man, Dennis Keenan. The following BUI was handed to tho Grand Jury by D. T. COBBIN, Esq., the District Attorney : The United States vs. ELIZABETH DONAHUE, passing counterfeit fractional currency. The District Attorney read the Act of Congress under which the indictment was framed, and the Judge addressed tho jury upon their duties and position, and made a few comments on the case in question. ". \ *'.. The Jury, after hearing three of the witnesses, adjourned the further hearing of the case to this day, when other witnesses will give their testi? mony. CONTENTION cir COLORED MEN.-The preliminary meeting of the State Convention of the Union Re? publican Party was held at the Military Hall last night. The attendance was not as large as on a previous occasion, and only a portion of the State was represented. On motion of R. C. DeLarge, B. C. Gleaves, from Beaufort, was called upon to act as temporary Chairman. A Committee on Creden? tials, consisting of one from each State, was ap? pointed to examino the credentials of the dele? gates. During their absence the chairman called for parties to address the Convention, and Captain T. J. MACKEY, an ex-Confederate officer, but now ci the Freedman's Bureau, responded seemingly foi tbs Republican porty. His speech was a review oi the acts of the Legislature of 1865 and denuncia? tory of Governor OBS. He was followed by a Mist Harper, a mulla to woman from Maryland, who is on a lecturing tour through the South. Hei speech was able and well delivered, though some? what scriptural in its tone. Other speakers followed, but the lateness of the hour compelled ns to leave before the conclusion of the meeting. The speakers and officers of thc meeting were not well versed in parliamentary tactics, and many useless discussions were causee" op this account. The basis of repr?sentation if the same as in the House of Representatives, ano the same ill-feeling between th? up country one low country was displayed. CHARLESTON Bo ABD OT TRACT_At the r?gulai meeting, held at the Charleston Hotel last night letters were read from Messrs. W. A. COUBTENAI and THOMAS STENHOUSE, and, under a snspensioi of rules, they were elected by acclamation. Tire committee to solicit subscriptions for tnt benefit of the poor of the State, reported tha they had collected $910. A committee of five was then appointed by tbi President to distribute the amount collected; 'Th* committee are Messrs. J. Nf. ROBSON, A H. HAS SEN, D. F. FLEMING, HENBX COBIA and JOHN F O'NEILL. A communication was read from Messrs. E. 3 STODDARD A Co., enclosing $100 from Messrs. C E. JOHNSON & Co., of Boston, for the benefit of tb poor; and a resolution of thanks to Messrs. C. E JOHNSON A Co. A communication from the New York Product Exchange proposing a convention of delegate from the various commercial associations of th United States, in reg ard to the decimal system fo the measurement of cereals, was referred to th Executive Committee. After considerable discussion, the subject ot th State tax of two and a half per cent, on Bales wa referred to the Executive Committee, with an thority to employ counsel if necessary, and repox at the next meeting. . . . ..-> :?- .. A resolution was adopted authorizing the Pres: dent to request the railroad companies to kee their depots and offices open for the tr&naactio of business from sunrise to sunset. . . A resolution was adopted that the fdH prooeec inga of the late anniversary bo published In paie phlet form, and that 500 copies ba printed. The meeting then adjourned. STA?TL22ra DISCLOSURE.-We all remember tb many rumors, constantly afloat during the late wa: which in nine cases out of ten, upon inquiry, wei traced to that ubiquitous and untiring travslie: the 'Tenable gentleman who came down by tl railroad," and we havo long since learned not i give credence too readily to every sensation ramo We may say we are decidedly sceptical, and on d and "they sayiJg?Ci not received as evidence j this covr^?Kni with all thia innate caution ar n?tnjp?4fjup08ition to unbelief, a ohain of circu?) B^t?cas sometimes assumes the shape ofpoerth proof, and we can then no longer ignore it. Sm is the ?ase at this Unie m regard to the facts at circumstances thathave induced us to write th paragraph. - The subject is one we hesitate to a; presch, involving, as it doss, toe honor ax gf?,rrli~s sT needly a ocore of our most ga.Pstsst.iftl citizens. It is therefore a topic of great delicacy, requiring nico handling. But wo will keep our readers no longer in suspenso. There ia a rumor on the Btreet, daily growing, as rumors will do when uncontradicied, that tho City Council, at their recent meeting in secret session-but the fact ie, we do not beliove a single word of it Rharod among themselves a snug amount of Uncle Sam's green "promises to pay." It is said that this was tbe second secret meeting i of this "financial" character. Tho first ono took place some months ago, when it was said a con? siderable amount of gold coin having been found in ono corner of the coal cellar in the City Hall building, His Honor immediately convened the dnzen-and-a-half of Aldermen, and shared tho amount with them in an equitable manner. The I gold was composed of eagles, hali and quarter j eagles, with a few sovereigns. We did not learn the exact amount distributed, but have heard it was in the neighborhhood of $40,000. Whether the Mayor got only an equal share, or whether with a view of making "long division" short, they allowed the Mayor two shares, and thus divided tho "treasure" into twenty instead of nineteen equal parts, our informant could not say. Last week one of tho city officials having, by a j streak of luck, found a huge pile of greenbacks, there was a repetition of these pleasant exercises, locked doors, secret session, long division, and a1! wor.t home rejoicing with pockets.full of valuable momentos of Uncle Samuel. This, wo repeat, is the story, but we do not be? lieve a word of it. We know all these gentlemen too well to believe them capable of auch selfish conduct. In fact we have it upon the positive au? thority of two Aldermen, ono of Ward No. 2, and one of Ward No. 4, that this report of the late secret session of Council is altogether unauthor? ized. We are satisfied about the matter, but if any of our readers are still disposed to believe where we tell them to doubt, we would refer them to No. 9 Brood street, at tho sign of the News Boy, where they may perhaps hear something to their ad? vantage. KIOULAB MKBnsa OH Ctn Gorman-Council met at 5 P.M. Present, His Honor the Mayor; Aldermen BAVE KEL, WBAGO, GERDTS, ^O'NETLII, STEHTMHYKB, OLNEY, OAKES, HOKOOB, MARBTUT.T,, PR WO LB, WHXLDXB , EARLE, COURTENAY, and Oososovx, The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. The applications of H. BASKSHOP for a license for two billiard tables; of JOHN WALD KR to pay for three months tavern license; of-MORRISON for a j unkshop license; of DAS'!. MOORE for a transfer of junkshop license, and of J. Owmrs to be refund? ed a junkshop license, wore all referred to the Committee on Licenses. The petition of JOHN KBOTCT to be allowed to erect a wooden building in Trodd street, between I Limehouse and the groen, was referred to the | Committee on Brick and Wooden Buildings. The petition of ALEXANDER ROBERTSON for the | renewal of certain certificates of city stock, waa presented, and it appeared that the requirements of the law were fulfilled, having been advertised in j the DAILY NEWS, the petition was granted. The petition of the Hope Fire Company, stating | that in 1864 the Company borrowed $1600 in Con? federate money from tho city, half of thia amount was paid by the evacuation, and they now petition to be allowed to pay the remainder in the pro rata value of gold at that time. Beferred to the Special Committee on the Fire Department. The billa from the Charleston Gas Company, amounting to. $213 32, wore referred to the Oom- j mittee on Accounts. Alderman HOHOTJB presented a claim of Mr. JKO. 0. BURCKMETXR against the City. The Mayor sta- 1 ted that this claim had been presented in 1866, and was then referred to tho City Attorney, who | thought that as the claims go back as far as 1848 I and 51, an interval of ten years occurred, to the time ! of the war, when the claim could have been made, that it was now forfeited, but that the claimant I could appeal to the Courts of the country. On mo? tion of Alderman OLNEY, the matter was again re- I ferr cd to the City Attorney with orders to report to Council. Tho Committee on Brick and Wooden Building? reported favorably on the petition of JNO. F. TAY? LOR, to erect a wooden building in Pritchard Street. Adopted. The Committee on Accounts reported favorably on the bills against the Alms House, amounting to $2446 66. Adopted. The same Committee reported that they had ax- I amined the books and papers in the City Treas- | urer'a office, a-id find them. to be correct proper. Received as information. The ' 'Bill to Regulate the Storage of Petroleum, its Products, and other Inflammable Oils," came up for ita second ' reading, waa passed to third, and ordered that its title be changed to an Ordinance, and be prepared for engrossing. The Committee on Engrossed Acts reported two, and the "Act Regulating the Cleansing of Privies [ and Vaults in the corporate limits of the City" and the Act entitled, "An Ordinance to amend an Or? dinance to Baise Supplies for 1867," were engrossed in due form. No further business appearing the Council ad? journed. MABSDEH'S PECTORAL BAUT, for Coughs, Colds, Consumption. DO WEE & MOISE, Agents. GOODRICH, W1NEMAN & CO., Agents. H. H.
