THE LEGACY OF THE OLD 30ARD. Alderman Sweegan, from the* committee on vjoden and brick building*, reportel favorably man application froai William Marscher to erect wo frame buildings, and the permission was ranted. Alderman V igt, from the special committee on innnished business, reported that they bad ex? amined the minutes or the meeting or September , 1971, which was the last meeting of the late louncll, and hal found them correct. They had tot been able, however, to fin! record8 of the pe Itloaa submitted to the old board and und lapos d of at tie retirement of that board, and they, beref ire, suggested th it the clerk of the present ?janell ahouid request all citizens who had sub aitted petitions to the old Council that had not ?en acted upon, to renew their petitions to the ireaent Connel'. The committee had also found he draft of an ordinance empowering the board f health to establish a permanent mud to render he City Hospital a self-sustaining Institution, ne report of the committee waa accepted, and be unfinished business was referred to appro ria te committees. Alderman Taylor rose to explain the bill in re? nton to the City Hospita', which bad been intro aced In the former Cou nc!1. It authorized the enervation of the money received from "pay pa? loma" at the hospital aa a permanent road for he benefit or the institution, while the expenses f such patients should be paid ont of the city inda la the same way that the expenses of other atienta were paid. It was laying by the lnoome r the institution as a permanent investment, rhlle drawing oat from the city treasury the loney needed for its expenses, and he queslion? el the pillcy or such a course while the treasury ^as at such a low ebb and so much difficulty was x perte need m raising money. It would be pair nanclering, he thought, to Invest money ataeven er cent, and borrowing at from twelve to Ighteen per cent. He underatood that the board r health hid already accumulated a fond of bout seven thousand donara In thia way, and, 'bile he would not advise that thia rand be taken way from them, he hoped that the bill authorlz - lg the continuance of this alnking rand practice on ld be lost. He therefore moved t j lay the bill a the table, which motion was ananlmoasly car ed.

Bryan, who had been unable to ttend on the preceding day by the failure of a illroad train, upon which he had depended to sach the city, making the proper connections, iie grand Jury was not organized, however, only ?vea of the persons summoned having put in an ppearance, and the district attorney was not resent, so that no jury cases were taken up. A ispatch was received from District Attorney orbln yesterday, however, stating that he would each the city this morning and attend to the pros - cuilon of such cases as may be brought before he present term, which win probably not extend eyond Friday of this week.

THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC-The second per? formance of the Llngards at the Academy was greeted last evening by a much better souse than the very unfavorable weather seemed to promise. The strength or the company ls eminently snited to just the light and spirited comedy to which, with excellent judgment, they confine them? selves; and tbe two pieces selected tor last even? ing's entertainment displayed their merits to great advantage. The opening comedietta of Delicate Ground, or Paris in 1793, contains only ihree rOles, but the chlaf of these was excellently maintained by Miss Alice Dunning, and the other two fared tolerably well In the hands of Messrs. Evans and Cheater. Tho piece ls foll ol verbal dev? aneases and telling situations, and though some? what wanting 1B variety, was pleasant enough asa irelnde to tbe more solid business of the evening. This was furnished by Robertson's three-act tomedy of "David Garrick," which was given m lapital style and wi h a remarkably even cast. Hiss Dunning, as "Ada Ingot," was equal both m dr and action to the exactions of her by no neans simple part, and displayed in one or two loleta of the r?le very unusual grace and vigor. 1er attractive person adds the mystic touch of | leaoty to her acting, and we have rarely seen a nore striking picture than she presented in the econd act when witnessing with horror and dis. ;nst the excesses of the man whom ber love had Jmost deified. Mr. Lingard, as "Squire Chivy,' nd Mr. Matthews, as "Simon Ingot," are also rort hy of special mention. Between the two comedies Mr. Lingard gave a eries or bis really wonderful sketches and imper onations, ol which we can only say that, having sen them, we ceas.*, to marvel at the celebrity nd skill with which oar old friends, the Daven ort?, bewitched us in the matter of knots and oat cbftcglngs. Altogether we can cenfldeatly say that lovers night and unambitious comedy could hardly nd it m : ch better done than Miss Dunning and lr. Lingard and, with one or two tuning excep ons, their whole company are now doing it at ie Academy. OUR RECENT GUESTS. low the Delaware Firemen were Re- | celved in Wilmington, N. C. [From the wilmington Star of yesterday.] The Washington Fire Company, ol Wilmlng >n, Delaware, arrived in this city from Charles >n on tbe 6.45 train last evening. Unfortunately >r the proper observance of the ce rem nies hlch had been arranged for the reception of the Lsltors by the firemea of oar city, almost con nnoua raia had been falling daring the day, hlch had the effect to make the streets sloppy ad disagreeable, aad naturally had a bad effect J pon all concerned. To make the matter worse, ist as the train arrived at Union Depot, and the [siting firemen, together with the three com pa? les or tbls city, who bad marched out to receive tem, had drawn np in line, and the recep on ceremonies hod commenced, i he raia com lenced falling in a perfect deluge. Captain oatrlght, of the Wilmington Steam Fire Engine ompany, of this city, welcomed the vis i ti Lg remen in a neat and appropriate address, which as responded to by Major J. Frank Hazell on the : art or our visitors. The co upan les t - en formed id marched down to the hall of the "Rankin," here they remained fdr a short tim?, the visitors sing hospitably entertained, arter which they ?paired to the ball or the "Adrian" Company, ie like hospitalities being tendered, and next isl ted the ball or the Hook and Ladder Company, here a similar welcome was tendered. The line r march was then taken up for tbe Puree 1 House, here a large crowd assembled, and where music nd an Interchange of courtesies were indulged i aatil the time arrived for repairing to the City all, where a magnificent tapper had been repared for oar visitors. The tables, which were i the form of a cross, one extending nearly the ? Ure length of the hall, and the other extending ery nearly serosa the sam1, were loaded down 1th d?licat hs, including wiora, champagnes, c. Being seated at the table, an opening address r welcome and friendly greeting to the visiting remen was made by Major F. D. Poisson, in his Bual felicitous style, whir* was appropriately od eloquently responded to by Major Hazell, rier which ample justice was done to the sump mos repast, toasts were proposed and responded ), Wilmington meeting Wilmington on terms of 'Howship, good will and reciprocal greetings, hieb was kept np for some hour-, when it ecame neoeasary to separate for the night, 1: be? lg the purpose of o\ visitors to leave early this lornlng for the trip homeward.
