. 'IFrest and C0mnltttdt 1t will be remember
ed, that Mr.. Robert Garrett, of the firm of Ro-
bert Garrett s Sons, few days since, lost a
large amount of money, while on his road tc
make deposit in one of our Banks, and that
the money was supposed to have been stolen
from his handbook, which at the time he had
under his arm. Among the money stolen was
check, which was returned the next day by n
negro man named John Durkns, which he
said he had found in the street. Circumstances

suspicion that he had the missing money, he
was accordingly arrested yesterday by officers

; Serious .96air. An occurrence of quite Sc
rlons character took place on Fell's Point on
Monday night, which 1t is feared may result in
the death of one Of the party. 1t appears that
person named John Smith, who is engaged
IN carrying oysters about the streets for live
hhood, was shot in the lower part of the abdo-
men, by gun or pistol in the hands of Abra-
ham Stansbury, who keeps Tavern near the
old Glass house. The affair occurred about 8
o'clock. We have heard various statements of
the affair, but for fear of doing Mr.. Stansbury
or the unfortunate sufferer injustice we will not
give them until legal investigation is had;
which we understand will take place to-day
Mr.. Smith is attended by Drs. Smith and Cock
relI, who pronounces him to be in a critical
condition
wa The proper authorities see 10 H. A LARGE
number OF young men, or boys between eigh-
teen and twenty years of age, assemble night
ly at the corner of st. Paul's and Muberry-sts
and commit actions of the most dsreputable
character. 1t is common practice to insult
ttn h,, Il Al
who is forced, by business or pleasure, to be in
the neighborhood, for he is sure to suffer. On
Thursday, quite early in the evening, as
genteel coored man was passing, he was as
saalted by these "corner loafers," and a new
cloth cap torcibly taken from him He made
no resistance, as he was glad to get off with a
whole skin. These things ought not to be-, and
we trust that some effectual means will be |
adopted to suppress them.
