City Council.
--The Council held a special meeting last evening, the following members being in attendance: Messrs. Saunders, Grattan, Denoon, Stokes, Haskins, Wynne, Crutchfield, Glazebrook, Burr, Griffin, Hill, and Scott.
Death of Ex-President Tyler.
Mr. Grattan submitted the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted:
The Council of the city of Richmond have heard with deep regret of the death of Hon John Tyler. The positions which he has occupied, and the services he has rendered to the country, have ensured to him an eminent and honored name and place in her history, whilst his virtues as a man, and his qualities as a gentleman, have won for him the respect and affection of all who knew him. The Council feel that, though he has fallen full of years and of honors, he has left us too soon, and the country may well lament the loss of his enlarged experience, his practical wisdom; and his unselfish patriotism, in this day of her trial.
