A Co,cardlu act John l.. Nelson, after cut
ting various disorderly pranks, such as break
ing the windows of the City Hotel &c, on
Sunday night, was taken TO the watch-house;
from whence no was released by Justice Shaet-
fer, who was especially called out for that pur-
pose. The gallant youth, in passing from the
watch house, in company with the magistrate,
who had released him, struck Mr.. S. violent
blow, with his fist, which Frustrated him, and
then fled. The assault can only be accounted
for in the belief that the youth labored under
the influence Of that potential liquid which
'steals away the brain"

Holiday ST. Theatre-.Madamc augusta. The
entertainments at the Holiday street theatre,
last night, were for tho benefit Of Mad'll Au-
gusta, The audience was larger than during
any night of her performance, and perhaps as
large as at any time during the season, but we
have seen very many more persons in that the
atre. The number of ladies, certainly much
less than on some occasions. The Madame is
considered quite handsome, in form and face
All admit, too, that she dances well, and can
leap and posture astonishly; yet, with all these
admirable traits, she failed to beget that Jitror
of excitement which many anticipated would
attend her engagement The house, on an
average, was only toerably supported. Last
night closed the season at this theatre.
