We feel confident, however, that every pre-
| caution will be taken to prevent his committing
suicide in future.
Officer A. G. Ridgely laid before Governor
Pratt, on Saturday last, the necessary vouchers
and obtained requsition on Gov. Wright, OF
New York, for the person of Henry McCurry,
charged as above stated. Officers Ridgely and
Hays, (of the firm of Hays, Eel, Rdgey s.
Cook,) leave this morning, for Albany, n. Y,
to obtain the warrant Of Gov. Wright, and
will Immediately proceed to the city, if per-
mitted, of which there can be no doubt, to
take charge of McCurry. They will probably
arrive, with their prisoner, in this city, on
Thursday next. Though McCurry would not
fail to embrace any opportunity to destroy
himself, however desperate the effort, We feel
satisfied that in the hands of two such careful
guardians, such forlorn hopes of escaping the
gallows must fail him. Ridgey has certainly
done his duty in arresting McCurry, and "Old
, Hays" says, of [ don't lodge him safely in
Baltimore city Jail, then they may hang me-"
In connection with the murder of Mr.. Roux,
there has no doubt arisen, in the minds of ma
ny persons, opinions prcndicia to the proprc-
tor of the tavern in which the melancholy af-
fair happened and as an act of Justice to Mr..
Nolin, we may say that no person perhaps
more deeply regrets the tragic affair than him
self Upon hearing of the arrest Of McCurry,
he was overjoyed even to tears. On Saturday
last a letter arrived at the city post office, d.
rected to Mr.. Noin, post-marked 'New York !"
and, as might be supposed, under the crcum-
| stances alluded to- the suspicion that it might
have been from McCurry, or might in some
way be connected with the murder, generally
prevailed These suspicious were communi-
Gated to Mr.. Noln, and, with a view to his
own interest as well as to disabuse public
opinion, he sent for A. Fl. Pennington, Esq,
who, with several other gentlemen, repaired
to Nolin's house, and the letter being placed in
the hands Of the magistrate, with the seal I'M
broken, he opened it, read it aloud in the hear
ing of those present, and it was found to be
from dealer in "black sand" who had re-
Gently stopped at Nohn's, but in no way con-
nected with the murder, farther than express
sing much surprise at hearing Of it., and asking
some questions as to the supposed murderer
We mentioned at the time of the murder,
that a paper, containing a large quantity of.
some white acid substance, had been found nI
the room where the deed had been perpctrated,
1t has since been ana yzed, and ascertaned to
be arsenic 1t may have been intended as a
substitute for the axe and the knife; or 10 de-
stroy the assassin, in case of detection.
Brutal Conduct. We have been put in pos
session of the particulars of an outrage, which
occurred Il few DAYS since in the eastern part
of the city, which we hope, for the sake of hui
mainly, may be somewhat exaggerated. The
facts as far as we have been able to gather
them, are as follows: A young and respecta-
Bile female was enquiring for the dwelling of
gentleman, whose name she mentioned, when
person in the garb of gentleman stepped
up aud said Gas he knew the individual very
well, it would afford him pleasure to conduct
her to his home" The young lady thanked
him, and unsuspectingly followed him into
house, where she was informed the object Of
her search resided She had scarcely entered !
the house, before the villain grossly insulted
her, and to her horror she discovered that she
was IN house of designation; she screamed
and ran into the street, when she was followed
by this demon in human shape, and beat in
such manner that her clothes were entirely
torn from her body. This affair took place in
broad daylight, and, what is more surprising,
the villain was suffered to escape, notwith-
standing city constable was Immediately in
the neighborhood at the time, who said he
could not arrest him without precept. We
have The names of the person, but withhold it
for the present, as warrant has been placed
in proper hands for his arrest.

Change Of kidnapping n White boy. Jacob
Geiger was arrested on Saturday last, and
taken before 7. II. Belt, Esq, where he WIS
charged, upon the oath of josephine Warteck-
or, with forcibly and frandulently kidnapping
her son Francis Wartecker, contrary to The act
of Assembly of 1919, chap. 1872, ''entitled an
act to punish for the offence of kidnapping
white children" The worthy Justice thought
there was great deal of mystery involved in
the case, and in consequence committed the
traverser to Jail, to have an examination before
