not excepting fine straw berries, &c. MIR. Don

did justice to the table. Toasts, interchanges
OF friendly sentiments, Jokes, jeers, songs, and
music, filled up goodly measure of enjoy
ment until, Mr.. J. Ellis, reminding his com

Agreeable to invitation from the Mechanical

man, James Lovegrove, with other tried and
efficient members of the Fire Department, did
the honors of the table. The entertainment
was every way worthy of the Mechanical"
whose members, for all that constitutes gentle
men, good citizens, and efficient Gremen can
not be eXceled Want of time prevents our
saying more. The Visiters leave this afternoon.
Er.orting Money. Catharine OConnor, Mar
garet McCarroll, Thos Johnson and William
Carroll were taken to the eastern district watch
house on Thursday night, on the charge of as
saulting V. S. Shilling for the purpose of ex-
torting money from him. They were all COM
mitted to Jail yesterday morning by Justice
Brotherton.
In JUL. Richard c. Williams, (colored,)
charged with roting in the street, was arrested
yesterday by officer Lambert, and in default of
security committed to Jail by Justice Miller.
Violating City Ordinances George Wards
worth, for violating an ordinance regulating
steamboats, lying at the wharf, was fined So by
Squire McAlister. Three boys, for throwing
stones in the street, were each fined Al and
costs, by the same magistrate, yesterday.
Fatal accident. A milk wagon, containing
Mrs. Davaugh and son, of Canal street, while
on the Bel-Air road, yesterday, was capszed
by some accident, and we regret to say that
the youth was so seriously injured as to cause
his death soon afterwards. The mother was
slightly injured.
Il Case for Mothers. A colored girl, named
Frances r. Dorsey, was brought before Justice
Wright, yesterday, charged with having at
tempted to destroy the life of an infant Up
on examination, the girl stated that she had
been told by another nurse that it was a COM
mon practice with mothers and nurses to give
infants laudanum, when fretful, to quiet them,
or make them rest, and that she had given the
child some tor that purpose, not intending any
harm. The infant is child of Mrs William
Thomas, of Cove-st., and is seriously i'll from
the effects of the laudanum. The girl was
discharged. The practice of administering
opiates to children when fretful, is no doubt
too freely INDUCED in by some parents, but
never should be tolerated on the part of ordi-
nary nurses.
Peytona and Fashion-Canion Course. We
understand that Mr.. Peyton r. johnson, pro-
prietor of the Canton Course, is endeavoring
to make up purse to draw Peytona and FASH
ion, at the June races; and that the owner of
the celebrated mare, whose star is now in the
ascendant, has consented, provided it meets
with the assent of the friends of Fashion.
