IN IrrecIaimabLe Case. Officers Keller and
Moore, on Sunday night, arrested Owen Sew
ard charged with entering the Tavern of Mr..
John b. Bath, in Pratt, near Patterson street,
drawing Grk-knife and threatening to kill
the proprietor, and also with breaking the win
dows of the house. He was taken before Jus
tce Egeron, fined $50 and costs, for breaking
the windows, and committed to appear at
Court 1t was only few weeks since that he
was fined in the City Court for creating a riot,
and stabbng person in the same house. We
cannot, positively, state how often this Owen
Seward has been arrested for violating the
laws of the State, but 1t has been times with
out number, and we now think it time that
such penalty were imposed as would secure
the good behaviour Of this party hereafter, as he
seems to be Indifferent and regardless of all
mild measures.
Supposed case Of DfOUning. On Sunday
night one Of the Middle District watch in go
ing his rounds when at the south end of Market
Space, heard cry as if proceeding from man
having fallen overheard into the Dock at Pratt
street. Yesterday morning the dock was drag
ged but without finding any person. The
Waterman is confident he heard n cry similar to
that of man having fallen in the water. We
could not learn that any person is missing.
Outrage. Yesterday afternood between 8
and A O'Clock, number of young rowdies at
tackled the cabinet makers shop of colored
man named James Brightman, in Park street,
breaking the windows and battering the house
with stones. The police were quick on the
ground, but the parties had fled, and no arrests
were made. They may not get off so lucky
another time.
Fast Driving. Officer Gross, yesterday ar
rested James II. Grace, driver of Omnibus No.
1873 old Line, charged with driving at an
rate in West Baltimore near Green
street. He was taken before Justice Wright,

Travelling Trunk Found. We saw yester-
day morning, at the Office Of Justice Showacre,
Hanoyer-st., black leather travelling trunk,
which had been found on lot, on Conway,
near Cove-st. 1t had been broken open, and
no doubt all its valuable contents carried off
A number of papers, receipt, &c, were scatter
cd about and in it, from which it is inferred
that it belonged to some person travelling
Among other papers was "manlfest" issued
to Capt. VIM. Messervey, Beverly, Mass, of
the schooner Miranda" The trunk is re-
tanned at the Justices Office for identification.
