their honors the judges, members of the bar
and Jurors, to and from their respective places;
and we are pleased to see that the workmen are
engaged in making the improvement, 1t is in
tended that the persons whom this change is to
accommodate shall enter the court room
through the first door next to the north front
entrance; and, to admit them to their places
without any interruption, a door has been cut
through the wall of the court room, and rail-
ing is to be erected from thence to the iron rail-
ing separating spectators from those privileged
inside Of the old railway-thus giving them
clear passage. This change is deemed ncces-
sary to prevent the great inconvenience to the
judges, members of the bar, Jurors, and others,
from the crowds that attend the trial of impor-
tant cases, and will he found Il decided i'm

.4gan. At the alarm of fire on Saturday
night, the Reel Of the Vigilant fire company
was taken from the members aud thrown into
the Falls at the foot of Pitt street. 1t occurred
Just as the alarm was given, and before they
had gone any distance in the direction of the
fire. The outrage was committed by gang
of persons who were hurrahing for the Rollers,
and were doubtless portion of the same body.
This is the second time in few weeks that a
portion Of the apparatus of this company has
been thrown into the water, and we trust that
the guilty parties may yet be brought to JUS
ticc. We hope the Legislature will pass the
act, submitted to them by the Fire Department,
as we have strong hopes that it will have
highly beneficial result
Beautiful Banner. We had the pleasure on
Saturday of inspecting a new and splendid
banner, Just finished, for Fel's Point Lodge No.

a widow having in her arms a small infant
kneeling beside her, apparently in great dis

Before the group is seen standing an Odd Eel

dow purse of gold. Below the picture, in

.qnoiher .Niu Suction. new and exceed
ingly beautiful Suction Engine was exhibited
in Monument square, on Saturday afternoon.
1t was built by our fellow-townsman, Mr.. John
Rogers, for the United Fire Company. The
celebrity of Nj. Rogers as builder Of fire APP
paratus, is not likely to suffer any diminutlon
by an inspection of this last specimen of his
ingenuity. Its powers to throw a great dis
lance were tested in the presence of a large
number of the Fire Department, and were in
the highest degree satisfactory to all parties
concerned.
