CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Writ Of HabeaS Corpus. We stated yester-
day that DIR. James Buchanan and Sylvester
Clifford had gwen bail to appear and answer the
charges preferred against them, at the Septem-
Der term the city court. This was not strict
ly correct, the parties were asked to give bail,
but refused, and remained in the custody of Of
fcer Patterson, until yesterday morning, when,
still adherng to their resolution not to give
bail, they were taken to the Jail. A writ Of
habeas corpus was Immediately obtained, and
they were brought out before Judge Brice,
Messrs. Buchanan and Walsh, appearing for
! the traversers, and F. Plnckney, Esq, for the
State. The traversers, throug h their counsel,
asked full hearing Of the case, both on the
part Of the prosecution and defence, which was
refused, and the offer made by the Judge to
hear the evidence on the part of the State, as
was usual in such cases. This not suitng the
views of the parties, no investigation was held,
but each gave the required security, in the sum
of $500, for his appearance at the September
term, 1t is but justice to state that Martin S.
Brown, the principal in the affair, was not ar
rested, as has been published, but gave himself
up to the officers voluntarily. This is the last
we shall have of this curious affair." until it
comes before the proper tribunal, when we hope
all the parties will be able, as they assert they
are, to properly and satisfactorily explain the
whole matter.
Distressing Occurrence. A son off ]. Rogers
Esq, Ohe agent of the Washington Tele-
graph in this city, an intelligent and interest
ing youth, about 10 years of age, and we'll
known to those in the habit of visiting the Tel
egraph office, was most dreadiuly scaIded yes
terday afternoon, while taking bath at his
fathers dwelling, in consequence of letting in
hot instead ofcold water, an unfortunate mis-
take which will probably cost him his life. He
was scalded from the middle of his body, down
10 his feet, and the skin burnt to a crisp The |
physicians had no hopes of his life last evening. !
We deeply sympathize with his distressed pa
rents.
LGtU Supe, ceded. An aged family named |
Walker, living in Bank st., q few doors from |
Hartford Run, were turned out of doors last
evening by their landlord, and all theirs furni-
ture thrown out after them. When last seen
they were removing it to the neighborhood of
| Trinity church, where they, no doubt, slept last
night in the open air. The old people are up
wards of 10 years of age. We should think
that such case calls loudly for the in
terposlion Of the law.
Stabbed. Late on Monday evening, we saw
hardy, good-looking Jack Tar, passing up
Baltimore street, near Frederick, with the blood
trlckling in a stream from his arm, in which we
learned he had been stabbed very badly, in the |
vicinity of the Centre Market. He was in his |
shirt sleeves, which were rolled up to his arm
pits, and appeared to be in right trim for knock
down, or any other kind of argument. We |
endeavored to learn how it was, why it was
and where it was done, but could not obtain any
information in regard to it. Jack sees pretty
rough time of it on the ocean, and ought to be
allowed little liberty on shore, without falling
among breakers, and being caught by land
sharks.
Assault John Mcdonnell, charged with as
saulting and beating John Clark on Monday
night, was arrested and taken to the Middle
district watch house. He is also charged With
assaulting Samuel Farr, on the 29th day of
July. Justice kennard committed him to Jail
for his appearance at court.
Brutal Assault. James Collins, Valentine
Gearhard and John Porter, were brought into
the Southern District watch house on Monday
night on the charge of brutally assautipg
man named Geo. Brant. Justice Showacre
committed Porter to Jail and released Gearhard
and Collins on security,
The Floating Bethel. The old ship William
Penn, which was purchased for the purpose of
being fitted up as Floating Bethel, has been
got ready, and will be applied to its purpose in
a few days.
Breaking ThinIs James Bellash and Robert
Burns, charged with stoning the house and
abusing the family of Mary Simmonds at the
corner of Wolf and Alsanna streets, were yes-
terday arrested by officers Mcdonnell and Ruly,
and released on bail to appear at Court by
Justice Latournau.
