Of cott.ae there were a grat many remonious and unceremonious calls made nearly every family in the city kept open house-There Wat lets boisteroue conduct iu the streets than usual, both during the day and night, and this morning than' usual.

It afforded considerable amusement to Ihe knowing ones who were standing iu the ante chamber to See the unwashed prepare themselves lor a feaat before euteiiiig into the presence of the Mayor. They ediplied their mouths ami enter- mm .1.

od with the most becoming gravity, but upon looking around and seeing nothing to eat or drink, they were suddenly disgusted and left. Mayor Hall, after receiving the congratulations of the season, introduced each comer to tho Mayor elect. Several of the ununified" declined going through with thisformiilit.y. Mayor Hall remarked Hint he could iutroduoi them very well asjiehad on a former occasion introduced them to the keeper of the Penitentiary. This was not liked, am) one of this class in the afternoon, while laboring under the erroneous tiutioH thai Mayor ilall was uut uf uflice.

Ex Mayor Lumln-rt attempted on one New Year's day to furuish the crowd with refreshments aud we do not believe another Mayor will attempt it dining the present generation. A large number of our most respectable citizens called lo pay their respects lo tha two Mayors und every thing there passed off very pleeeantly. niKSUMATioy, Martin Folk, of the Chief's Office, aud Officer Mathews, of the Mayor's Office, were each during the day presented with a cuke basket at the Mayor's Office, by the worshippers of Mr. Beech-er'a Church In the evening there were numerous balls and a general illumination of private residences and throughout the city every thing passed ofi' pleasantly.

Henry A. Muoie was appointed chairman ou the occasion and upon taking the chair stated to the company present that before they would discuss the edibles, Mr, M. M. N. Smith had a little duty lo perform.

Mr. arose amid blushing honors ami culled upon M. Burrill to accept a beauti- I fjl fire cap which was a present from the mem bers under his command. Afier Mr. Burrill had replied Judge Moore rose again und stated that a duty had to be peifoimed by him also, and after a few pertinent remarks iu hie usual witty style, presented Miijor M.

Major Smith as well aa Mr. liurrill were each taken bv turpi ise and neither could proceed to muke many remarks, as ihe tears of gratitude rolled from their eyes.

Sib -At a mooting of some uf your follow-eiti- wit, held on tiie evening ut the 1 lb October, the ua lersigned were appoiuied a Comiuittee to express to you by a suitable testimonial their sense of the value uf your serr.cas to the oily, especially during ihe prevalence uf yeliow fever, ia the past suiuoior un autumn. In pursuance of the nbjoct of their appointment, suj through the liberality of individuals, whose names are auojomej, m-y nave purcaaseu a nouss '1 lol. of which th. da.d this. It is tho spontaneous gift of a community alive te vaur dHVUlioa tu their inlHresls Ihrouih ra inv vinri rent by your voluntary exposure to peril in their be lt dt' during the late trying crisis.

It is not to be concealed that the fears of many were justly excited by the near approach of an epidemic of the most fatal character; a seourgo, which in fact visited the outskirts of the city, and threatened its very centre and that a wide-spread panic was near being the within its thickly settled borders TurouKhnut this time of trial your care of the sick and dying wherever the pestilence in places near or remote, in the habitations of the rich nil puor alike, bus baen nutoriois. The alarm svUioh would have scattered hundreds of families, was stayed by your manly and christian efforts to track the eril wherever it appeared by personal visitation The hesitating were thus induced to remain at homo and tho hopes of all strengthened by youc wntchfuluess. fidelity and oourage. Werks of self sacrificing have always won the admiration of men. When, in the Providence of God, a country is plunged war, and Ihe patriot steps lorth 10 battle tor her rights, glory an i honor are the reward when the magistrate in the disoharge of his civil duty, exposes bis life for the protection of the public interests, regardless of all thing, else, he is not less deserving of praise I when the oitizeus i hits the sick aud needy, lifts up the down-oast, and reclaims the be irives to the world a neble example; when he seeks thou, out in the places of disease, pestileuee aud deutb, the "good Samaritan" becomes the undaunted apostle These high traits of character enter into the familiar story of your lite; and too citiseniof Brook ly 1 would be faithless i the sentiment that honors unge, to thuir high sense of honest worth, and to the value of true Christian pliiUnlhrouv, did they peiuiit to pass unnoticed and uiiocknowleged, your heroism, your laiihtuliiess your brave benevolence In these d.ivs, when publio men, whether justly or unjustly, are expuscd so much to publio censure, it is a privilege and a pleasure to accord a generous ami hearty praise It is the just mied of those who are williug to undertake iiuportaut trusts und administer theui faithfully- It is au appropriate stimulus to future fi le.ity.

The pestilence Hint walketh in darkness and w.i.-tcth at noun-nay," has disappeared; and tlie undersigned would express the hope that yolr own life, which has beeu so providentially spared, may be preserved for a long career of usefulness and honor.

in the season of peril through which, in the mor-cifel proviiiencu of () od we ive passed with compilative safety and exemption, and ti my course duriug itbich you bave particularly refered, I felt impressed wiih a deep sense ufihe great responsibility resting upon me, and of the importatico and value of the precious interests which were in a great measui con led to my cure, and 1 felt called upon to devote my utmost energies and my life itself if Uol so filled, in the tilling up the meaauie uf toy obliKutio.is tjentleiuen the terms in which you have spoken of my efforts to discharge those obligations are uf themselro an ample reward, but no words of praise from oiher.i, no tokens of app'eouti iu can equal the sa'isfaction uf my heart in its cohsciousuee of having been prompted an I enabled to go forward in the path of duty, a I tho' that pith might lead into the grave- Uentloman. I think you and those whom you re-proscnt most sincorely for this generous gift, and for the sentiuients towards ma which you have express-el, and I shall treasure the one, and cherish the recollection of the other through the remaining days of my allotted time, and I snail ever look back to this occasion with feelings of proud taiiafaction and fervent gratitude.
