Charge Of Murder. An examination took
place yesterday afternoon before S. S. Briggs,
Esq, of G. A. Sybert, who is charged with
causing the death of his wife by excessive bru-
tality Sybert is a matchmaker, and keeps in
Thames-st. near Market, and is by birth Ger
man. The examination lasted until late hour
in the afternoon, and was strictly private; the
Justice having seen proper to exclude the Re-
porters from the room. Wherefore we are at d
loss to divine. A number of witnesses were ey-
amined the nature of their testimony, we arc
not able to give, from the cause above stated.
He was committed in default of security to a.
wait post n,ortem examination of the deceased.
Pardons Us. The People. A young man,
named Samuel Davis, was arrested yesterday,
by officer Roberts, and committed to jail BY
Justice Blair, charged with stealing a pair of
boots from German, in Park street. This
promising youth was tried before Baltimore
City Court during the past summer, charged
with stealing sett of leather horse-relns,
found guilty. sentenced to the penitentiary, and
afterwards released through Executive clemen-
cy. He is young in years, but deeply stepped
in crime, it is feared, as would be found, fall
his evil deeds were known.
Bold Robbery. Some daring thief entered
IS 1,
a few doors from Baltimore street, on Wednes-
day evening last, passed into room, up stairs,
occupied by boarder, and rifled his trunk of

lost had been earned by the young mans in
coed in ferreting out the thief, as we'll with a
view to the recovery of the money, as the pun
ishment of the ielon.
That Barge. We announced few DAYS ago
the arrival at this port of a splendid barge from
Kensington, Philadelphia, intended as present

rosity was excited yesterday, as it passed up
Pratt-st horne upon the shoulders of several
athletic sons of the African race; indeed, tho
tide of public curiosity was SO great, that the
little barge at intervals had to come to- 1t
was taken to the outer depot en route to Wash
ington.
FIsticu6s. A fight occurred yesterday morn
ing near the corner of Gay and Baltimore-sts.,
between three gentlemen, whose character and
standing in the community should have taught
them better manners. The fight was caused
by something which one of the parties had sta
ted from the witness stand in the Appeal Court.
AS the case will come before their honors the
Judges of the City Court next Saturday, We re-
frain from giving further particulars.
