Koman in .Man,s Clslhirg. We have often

Saturday evening. Happening to be in the
Central Police Office, two of the officers came
in with fine looking, young, and beardless
sailor in tow, whom they had arrested in Old
Town. There was something in the gait how
ever, of the prisoner, which excited the suspi
cion of the officers, and on charging her with
the fact she admitted that she was not sailor
man, but a sailor tcoman! There was fix for
the gallant officers; pretty, delicate and-we
wish we could say innocent-young girl, dress
ed up in regular and full Jack Tar's suit
They were not long in determining what to do
however, and accordingly sent and obtained a
more suitable dress, and after giving her lee
ture ON the improperly of her conduct, she
was permitted to 90 home in company with ID
friend who had called for her. We suppress
the names Of the parties by request, with the
statement that the object the young girl had,
in assuming her manly dress, was to watch the
movements ola supposed faithless lover, whom
she had reason to believe was in the habit of
visiting rival, and accordingly in this dis
guse she was keeping watch, IN order to salts
fly herself of the truth Of her suspicious
Ci'y Court. The following cases were tried
before this tribunal on last Saturday morning:
Conrad Faber, charged with assaultng Ro-
sauna MattoX, was found guilty, and fned 81
with costs. Henry Cunningham, charged with
as5auiling his wife, was found guilty, fined $40
with costs, and ordered to stand committed UNI
ill he give secutity in the sum Of 500 to keep
the peace. Edward G. Domy, charged with
aSsauitrg George r, Thompson, his appren-
ticc, was declared not Guilty. AdehEa Kelly,
charged wtA assauting and cutting with Il
autC Emma Smith, was found guilty, and fined
$40 with costs. Louisa Thompson, charged
with assaulting Sarah Waters, was found gull
t., aud fined S. with costs. The Court then
adjourned until This morning at 10 o'clock,
when The regular January term for the trial of
city criminal business commences, of which
witnesses aad all persons interested, are request
cd to take notice, and be punctual in their at
tendance. The docket is tolerably large, and
the Coul will probably be engaged several
weeks in the disposal of the cases which will
be brought before them.
Te,y Much Injured Officer Laughlin, whom
we mentioned last week as having been as
saulted by negro, who struck him in the face
with brick, we regret to learn is confined to
his bed in very critical condition. DR.. Knight
is in attendance, and rendering all the profess
sional aid in his power, and We hope that no.
thing serious may result to the officer from the
injuries received. The negro, who ia now in
jail, will be tried at the present term of the
City Court, and will no doubt receive, as he
deserves, an adequate punishment for the out
rage. We are Informed that he has previously
been an inmate of the pententiaIy, so his
chance Of Southern trip is very fair.

Alarm Of Fire. About q o'clock on yester-
day an alarm of fire was cotton up, but it prov
cd to be without cause. Our firemen were out
as usual, ready to do service ifthey were need
ed. A number of boys and young men, for the
want ofsome better employment, got up a spree
on their way home, and bricks and missiles
were used pretty freely, but they were dspers-
ed before any person was injured.
Serious accident. Mr.. Joseph Whpple, on
Saturday last, was thrown from horse and
seriously injured. He was coming out of the
yard of the Three Tuns Tavern, when his horse
