Bar-room Fight. A fight occurred late yes
terday afternoon in the tavern at the corner of
Second st. and Tripolet's Alley, whichhad for
short time, quite an ugly appearance. High
constable Shut, with the aid of Lieut's' Scarf
and Brown, succeeded in making several ar
rests of persons, but it appearing that they were
not engaged in the fight, they were released
The ringleaders had of course made good their
retreat, so soon as the officers were sent for.

mended.
