CITY INTELLIGENCE.

|
Rob5eru. A white woman ofill-ame, named
Eliza Simpson, was arrested on Monday by
police officers Hays and Riggs, and was taken
before Justice Gray, on the charge of stealing
from q ntIeman, whose name we could not
ascertain, money to the AMOUNT Of ninety dol
lars. Eliza Simpson and her sister are the pro-
prietrcsses of notorious baWdy house on
Granby-st., East Of Exeter. The gentleman
who was robbed is stranger, and had come to
Baltimore for the purpose purchasing goods;
and having spent the night in this house, found
in the morning, when about to depart, that
he was minus the sum of money above men
toned. Having ample reason TO suspect this
girl, he procured her arrest, aud the proof a.
ganst her appearing very positive, Justice
Gray committed her TO prison to await a trial
before the City Court al its next term.
Disgracefh roo al Gournslocn. Thomas
Moody was arrested yesterday by High consta-
bic Clifford on the charge Of assaulung and
beating a young man named William Smith,
at GOvanstown, about 0 O'Clock, on the pre-
vlous evening. lie was taken before Justice
SChaelier, and released on security in the SUN
Of $1,000 to appear at the County Court. We
are informed that a general and disgraceful row
was clicked upn by Moody and several others
of the same kidney, in which more than one in
/ offensive gentleman suffered. There was no
/ provocation for the row--t was from pure
wantonness. We refrain from giving the names
of the other rioters, as we learn that warrants
! have been issued for their arrest.
Assault and Robbery. Justice Showacre yes
teIday placed State warrant in the hands OF
officer Chisholm, to be served against Ger
man named John Wallenberger his wife and
his son, for assaultng Mr. Albert Baker and
robbing him of fourteen dollars in bank notes.
1t appears that Mr.. Baker, who resdes in the
country, had come to the city for the purpose
of paying the German ten dollars which he
owed him; that after paying the money, and
whilst in the act of replacing in his pocket-bools
roll Of notes which he held in hls hand, the
German snatched from him fourteen dollars
The wife then endeavored to push him out oil
the house, and the son, quite lad, struck hin,
on the head with billet of wood. For this
unprovoked assault and robbery, the State
warrant was issued.
Tile .Nauigation. There Is much ice in the
harbor, and we are informed that it extends
some distance down the river. Most of it,
however, is drift-ice, and it does not seriously
impede the arrival and departure of vessels
The next tide will probably break up that
which remains stationary, aud carry it into the
Bay.
Bad Times for Horses The present condi-
ton of the streets, renders the labor done by
horses more than usually laborous. Since
the recent snow, we have seen a number of
these useful animals lying PROSTATE, having
fallen by slipping on the ice, Their condition
at this time is such as to excite pity; and when
we see their merciless masters urging them On
by severe applications of the whip and by hard
! blows we Hlsh for the enforcement of the citv
ordinance respecting brutality TO animals.
