Give Council. --The following is a summary of the proceedings of a called meeting of the City Council, held yesterday afternoon: A petition from Thomas Bradford, asking the remission of two fines, amounting to $70, and confiscation of about $300 worth of melons, imposed upon him by the Mayor and Recorder Caskie, was referred to the Committee on Claims; a petition from C. W. Obitts, asking the remission of a fine of $50 and the money obtained for seventeen dozen eggs, which were imposed upon him by the Mayor, was also given the same direction; the Committee on the Stuart Monument were authorized to erect a flag-staff, or some other mark, over the grave of General J. E. B. Stuart, at Hollywood Cemetery, by which his resting place can be designated; the Chamberlain was authorized to negotiate with any individual or the banks for a loan to the city of $50,000 for the term of ninety days; William A. Carrington, Medical Director, was granted the continued use of the new city almshouse

Gentry, was remanded to the Hustings Court for examination on the charge of breaking into the store of James T. Butler & Co, on the 24th instant, and stealing therefrom about thirty-five hundred dollars' worth of boots and shoes. Some of the stolen property was found in Ben's room. Jane Valentine and Caroline Overton, free negroes, were whipped for receiving some of the shoes, knowing them to have been stolen.
