Soldiers Off duty.-Two soldiers belonging TO Capt
Tompkins company were brought up, charged with
creating violent disturbance at Cronlys tavern,
throwing the decanters about, and abusing the bar
keeper
On arriving at the police, of the soldiers had
regular rough and tumble fight with the officer who
arrested him. This scene took place in the presence
Of the magistrate several of the aldermen and one
of the commanding officers of the corps to which the
soldier belonged. After a smart brush the policeman
gained the victory.

sober and the quiet of the pulcs office was somewhat
restored.
Forgery.-Jacob Smith was brought up by officer
Brink, charged with forging the endorsement of Ha-
milton Jackson to several bills of exchange, to the
amount of S2S6O.
The way in which this attempt at raising the wind
was discovered was somewhat singular.
One day last week, Smith called at the Office of
Mr. Sperry bill broker, Wall street, and lef note
for $500 to be discounted, which that gentleman by
the greatest chance in the world, offered to Mr..
Alfred Dsane, the agent OF Mr. Jackson Mr. u.
knowing the endorsement to be forgery, gave in
formation to Justice Bloodgood, who sent for MIR.
Sperry and then issued a warrant to have Smith
taken into custody. Mr. Brink, after repeatedly wait
ing about Wall street, had hint that his man TO
be found at flash house in the Bowery; thlther he
proceeded, met his customer coming down the steps,
and took him into custody.
He wasfHlly committed for trial.

No. H. individuals who may have lost such articles
would dc well 10 apply at the police Office for they
