UNITARIAN CHURCH.-The annual meeting, of this Church was held on Monday evening, May 6th, when the following named gentlemen were unani? mously elected to serve as Vestrymen and Wardens for the ensuing year. vnxmm. NORMAND M. PORTER, I FRANCIS J. PORCHER, CHARLES H. WEST. THOMAS D. EA SON, THADDEUS STREET. LUCIUS M. JONES, WILLIAM MCCOMB. WARDENS. SAMUEL Ot. HORSEY. | WILSON GLOVER. SOUTHERN RELIEF POND.-We learn that the cities of New York, Boston and Philadelphia have subscribed more than 1300,000 to the above fund, ?nd abo that 9000 bushels of corn ia on th o way here from New York for general distribution. We also learn that 1500 bushels were bought in the city yesterday, by an agent of tho fund, for gen? eral distribution. This looks encouraging, in the face of what we publish to-day. At the anniversary meeting of the Eagle Fire Engine Company, th? following officers were elected : Col H. 8. DURYEA, President. W. R. MCINTOSH, vice-President JOHN HINES, First Director. O. F. BEAUFORT, Second Director. W. COBURN. Third Director. M. C O'NEILL, Fourth Director. J. O. NOLTE, Secretary. O. E. JOHNSON, Treasurer. J. & BUNCH. Hall Keeper. J. A STEWART, First Axeman. C H. BURNS, Jr., Second Axeman. THE ODD FELLOWS' CONCERT.-The love of music ia 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? certo given in this city. The concert of Thursday night, will be in no respect inferior to those that have preceded it, bat will be conducted by profes? sors of known ability, who will be assisted by the beet musical talent in the city. By referring to tho 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 aufficient guarantee for the performance. Merrie May is the month for enjoyment, and we feel confident, that the anticipated concert will be s success, The announcement that it would take place, lu? already caused a flutter in many breaste, and am overcrowded house on Thursday night will prove that neither the musical or charitable feel? ings of thc community are torpid. , PETROLEUM.-Tho frequency of large fires, and the danger often resulting from the improper stor? age of inflammable material, induced Council to frame a hill to ''Regulate the storage of Petrole? um, its producta, sod other inflammable oils." This passed its(hird reading at the late session, and bocame an act, to-'taka effect thirty days from its passage. >. lT>eprincipal features, of the bill are that no Petroleum, er kindred oi?si' shall be stored ?oath of Line ?traet m'qriant?t?es'?xce^ding forty cr fifty gallon?, and suebz-qoantity to bo kept in s metal vessel ; and, t?ojx...arrivtug: ju the oity.it shall not remain unbound longer tun twenty-four hours. " -.* - '? It was the general wish, not only of Council but ?if .many merchants, to place restrictions upon the sala of thea* oils without hampering trade, and the bul has been made extremely simple. By a earefnl observance of its pro visions the frequent oecurrenc* of fires may be checked, fer if they have not been traceable to the cause, yet th? re? moval of such inflammable material will eventu? ally conduce to the welfare of the city. The last clause in the hill imposes a fine of $200 for its vio? lation, and ell parties concerned should take meas? ures to at enos scours themselves. . Tas STORM: or TESTER DAT.-May, the gentlest Xsfldest month in the year,, was metamorphosed on Monday night, into a woepiag, windy, gusty May. The skies lost their cerulean hoe, the stars hid behind the lowering clouds, and swift descend? ing rsin convinced the belated passenger, that the windows of heaven were opened, and the pings loosened. This change was very, sodden, and al? though the weather was somewhat sultry the day previous, few persons expected to see so fierce a demonstration made by the Westering god. Old Boreas had evidently been watching his opportu? nity, and succeeded in raising ouch a gust that quiet cisterns awoke alarmed, thinking that they had mistaken the season, or that some convulsion of nature had ooenrred. 'Lambs were torn from trees, and in many instances the ? trees themselves prostrated ; tiles and slates, blown from booses, and fences prostrated. The old fence that partial? ly surrounds the new Custom House lot, was blown down, but this will not be a great loss,* sait 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 ro? an! ting 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 waa thrown into the houses on the opposite side. The change has been benefi? cial in cooling the atmosphere and in laying tb e dost,, which before was a perfect nuisance, but if the storm extended any distance in the interior, we may expect to hear of considerable damage done to the growing crops. THE FIRE PROOF BUILDING.--This old bn il ding is gradually losing its dingy dungeon-like appear? ance, and is being transformed into a comparative? ly light and airy structure. The Com misai oners of Public Buildings have recently determined to make several improvements in the basement, and Mr. JAS. M. EABON, a member of the Board, has already effected a groat change by removing the heavy iron shutters, substituting a light open work iron frame. The new inti co work is in thorough keeping with the building, and is a vast improve? ment on the heavy unmanageable shutters, whose only recommendation was that they were iron and looked imposing. The Fire Proof Building suffered severely during 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 coon 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 found occupant?, bat it is only recently that any application has been made for those in the base? ment. Anticipating this demand, Mr. EABON has been engaged in remodelling these lower rooms and making them habitables as offices. Two of the rooms on Meeting street have already been engaged by General WAGENER, the Conunis sioner of European Immigration, as his office. They are not yet completed, bnt a cursory glance is sufficient to show that they will answer the pur? poses intended admirably. The lpog corridor has been whitewashed in a superior manner, and new oaseing frames and floorings furnished. When the windows have been altered and the ir, tended improvements completed, six light airy rooms wiU be formed that will bo in every respect adapted for lawers' offices. Tho cen? tral position of the building, and its daily uso by the lawyers to examine records aud other papers, make it especially suited for this purpose. The progress of the age has dissipated the idea that darkness and strength should be united, and it is now found t ) be the safest plan to make the interi? or, of a building open to the public view, and the iron frame work on the windows will not only lei in the light and air, bot will prove an admirable safeguard against robbers. i I- PERSONAL.-We had the pleasure of mee our office last evening, Mr. SIDNEY ANDS the Boston Advertiser. Mr. ANDREWS is ar. iively known North, both aa a most snporio paper correspondent and clever essayist BURNTNG THE CITY BILLS.-The Special C< tee appointed by Council for the purpose troving the mutilated City Bills, meet to-n the Council Chamber to porform this tas oblong iron cage has been made which filled with tho doomed hills, and tho conten! ignited. AB the bills are not only torn a faced, but from passing through so many are rather oleaginous, it will rot be a difficul ter to reduce them to ashes. -o THE AMERICAN FARMER for May has c( hand. It is filled aa uBunl with matter inter and instructivo. Among ether papers it tr< Stalling Cattle; Marl and Lime; Grass Cnltni Dairy Farming; Large FarmB and Asso Capital; Milk and Butter; Experiments in M ing; Use of Field Pea: Farm Wages; Sup Water; Alderney Cows; Value of Clover; Fisl Manure; Uses of Lime; Underdrainage; Rai new Southern Staple, and a variety of inion articles.

Noi standing the inclemency of the weather, the 1 was crowded to its utmost capacity; all desirous to take a last look at dear Ireland, audience was well entertained, and gave abm proofs of the appreciation, all through the p< manee. Professor McE vor is well up in his and Barney a universal genius; 'Mudy" sings rendering the national airs of Ireland with ir able pathos. The '-"Widow Machree" was a too fine a lady for our ideal of that celeb character. But on the whole, we were i pleased with the panorama, the songs am jollimont. The Hibernleon, our readers will be plea? ' learn, will exhibit again to-night, and for the time. MAYOR'S COURT, May 7.-A youthful eolored son, named James Manigault, who undertoo sell fish on commission, but forgot to take i ticket which would give him the privilege, fined t2. Venders of segars and tobacco, as well i soda water, were fined for opening their Btore Sunday. James Henry, usually called Bull Head, a i interesting black boy, was imprisoned two w for going into a gentleman's residence and stet two overcoats. He was also up for entering other house, at 12 o'clock in the day, and attei ing to rob, but was discovered and caught. 1 qnite probable that before long he will ornai tho dock in the Court of Sessions, preparatoi a visit to the Penitentiary. Amelia Anderson, a young woman of color, n devoted to whiskey than to dress, who had drunk and was riotous in the street, and UB?D( docorous language, was fined $6, which sh< knowledged with a very smiling countenance.

U. S. DISTRICT COURT-Hon. GEO. S. BRYAN p siding.-The Grand Jurors were called and the ; lowing Grand Jury organised: George W. Williams, Foreman; W. W. Pemb ton, W. C. Courtney, James Allan, W. E.

COBBIN, Esq., the District Attorney : I United States vs. ELIZABETH DONAHUE, passi counterfeit fractional eui roney. The District Attorney read the Act of Congn under which the indictment was framed, and t Judge addressed the jury upon their duties a position,, and made a few comments on the oas? question. The Jury, after hearing three of the witness* adjourned the further bearing of the case to tl day, when other witnesses will give their tes mony. CONVENTION OF COLORED MEN.-The prelimlna meeting of the State Convention of tho Union Ii publican Party was held at the Military Hall 1? night, The attendance was not as largo as or previous occasion, and only a portion of (he Sts was represented. On motion of R. C. De Large, C. Gleaves, frost Beaufort, was called upon to a as temporary Chairman. A Committee on Crede tials, consisting of one from each State, was a pointed to examine the credentials of the dol gates. During their absence the chairman called ft parties to address the Convention, and Captain ' J. MACHET, an ex-Confederato officer, but now the Freedman's Bureau, responded seemingly f< the Republican party. His speech was a review the acts of the Legislature of 1865 and denunci tory of Governor ORB. He was followed by a Mil Harper, a mullato woman from Maryland, who on a lecturing tour through the South. Hi speech was able and well delivered, though som what scriptural in its tone. Other speakers followed, but the lateness of tl hour compelled us to leave before tho conclusio of the meeting. The speakers and officers of tb meeting were not well versed in parham en tar tactics, and many useless discussions were cause on this account. The basis of representation : the same as in tho House of Representatives, an the same ill-feeling between the up country an low country was displayed. CHARLESTON BOARD or TRADE.-At the rogula meeting, held at the Charleston Hotel last night ?otters were read from Messrs. W. A. COURTENA and THOMAS STENHOUSE, and, under a susponsio: of rules, they were elected by acclamation. The committee to solicit subscriptions for th benefit of the poor of the State, reported tha they had collected $910. A committee of five waa then appointed by th President to distribute the amount collocted. Th committee aro Messrs. J. N. ROBSON, A. H. LT AY I DEN, D. F. FLEMING, HENRY CORIA and JOHN F O'NEILL. A communication was read from Messrs. E. R STODDARD <fc Co., enclosing $100 from Messrs. C i E. JOHNSON & Co., of Boston, for the benefit ol' tin poor; and a resolution of thanks to Messrs. C. E I JOHNSON & Co. A communication from tho Now York Produce [ Exchange proposing a convention of delegate* from the various commercial associations of tb? United States, in regard to the decimal system foi the measurement of cereals, was referred to th? Executivo Committee. After considerable discussion, the subject of thc State tax of two and a half per cent, on sales wat referred to the Executive Committee, with au thority to employ counsel if necessary, and reporl at the next meeting. A resolution was adopted authorizing the Presi? dent to request the railroad companies to kee) their depots and offices open for tho transaction of business from sum iee to sunset. A resolution was adopted that tho full proceed? ings of the late anniversary bo published in pam? phlet form, and that 500 copies be printed. The meeting then adjourned. STARTLING DISCLOSURE.-We all remember thc many rumors, constantly afloat during the late war, which in nine cases out of ten, upon inquiry, were traced to that ubiquitous and untiring traveller, the "reliable gentleman who came down by tho railroad," and wo havo long since learned not to give credence too readily to every sensation rumor. Wc may say we are decidedly sceptical, and on dil and "they say" are not received as evidence in this court. But with all this innate caution and natural disposition to unbelief, a chain of circum? stances sometimes assumes tho shape of positive proof, and we can then no longer ignore it. Such is tho ?aso at this time in regard to the facts and circumstances that have induced us to write this paragraph. The subject is one we hesitate to ap? proach, involving, a? it does, the honor and standing of nearly a score of our most substantial citizens. It is therefore a topic of great delicacy, requiring nice bandung. But we will keep our readers no longer in suspense. 'Ibero is a rumor on the^street, daily growing, as rumors will do when un contradict ed, that the City Council, at their recent meeting in seeret session-but the fact in, we do not believe a single word of it shared among themselves a snug amount of Unole Sam's green "promises to pay." It is said that this was the second secret meeting of this "financial" character. The first one took place some months ago, when it was said a oon fiiderat lo amount of gold coin having been found in one comer of the coal cellar in the City Hall building, His Honor immediately convened the dozen-and-a-half of Aldermen, and shared the amount with them in an equitable manner. The gold was composed of eagles, half and quarter eagles, with a few sovereigns. We did not learn the exact amount distributed, but havo heard it was in the neighborhood 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 the "treasure" into twenty instead of nineteen equal parte, our informant could not say. j Last week one of the city officials having, by a streak of luck, found a huge pile of greenbacks, there was a repetition of these pleasant exercises, locked doors, secret session, long division, and all went home rejoicing with pockets,full of valuable mementos of Uncle Samuel. This, we repeat, is the story, hut we do not be? lieve a word of it. We know all these gentlemen too well to believe them capable of such selfish conduct. In fact wo have it upon the positivo au? thority of two Aldermen, one of Ward No. 2, and one of Ward No. 4, that this report or the Jute secret session of Council is altogether unauthor? ized. We aro satisfied about the matter, but if any of our readers are still disposed to believe whore we tell them to doubt, we would refer them to No. 9 Broad street, at tho sign of the News Boy, where they may perhaps hear something to their ad? vantage.

The petition of JOHN KENNT to be allowed to erect a wooden building in Trodd street, between Limehouse and the groen, was referred to the Committee on Brick and Wooden Buildings. Tho petition of ALEXANOEB ROBEBTSOE for the renewal of certain certificates of city stock, waa presented, and it appeared that the requirement* of the law were fulfiUod, having been advertised in tho DAILY NEWS, the petition was granted.

Referred to the Special Committee on tho Fire Department. The bills from tho Charleston Gas Company, amounting to $-13 32, wore referred to the Com? mittee on Accounts. Alderman HONOUB presontod a elaim of Mr. JNO. C. BUBCEHEYEB against the City. The Mayor sta? ted that this claim bad been presonted in 18GG, end was then referred to tho City Attorney, wbo thought that os tho claims go back as far as 1848 and 51, an interval of ten years occurred, to tho time of the war, when the claim could have been mado, that it was now forfeited, but that the claimant could appeal to the Courts of the country. On mo? tion of Alderman OLNEY, tho matter was again re? ferred to tho City Attorney with orders to report to Council. The Committee on Brick and Wooden Building! reported favorably on the petition of Jxo. F. TA Y LOB, to erect a wooden building in Pritchard Street. Adopted.
