CITY lNTELLtt4ENCE

Tie Mayors appointments By reference TO
The City Council proceedings, 1t will be seen
that the Mayors annual budget of appoint
ments, were acted on yesterday. There has
been but few changes from the last yoar's list
A strange Kind Of a case. A person by the
name Of Andreas Meihoma, made charge at
the Police Office on Thursday night, agans
certain parties as having robbed him of S45 in
raoney, and gave him severe beating IN the
bargain. 1t appears that Meihoma had fallen
in with young man by the name of G. l..
Frauck, in the neighborhood fthe Marsh Mar
ket, aud that the two new found friends had
gono together up North Canal street, stopping
and drinking at several places, until at last no
stopped at a house on Canal, south of Orleans st.
In this house general row occurred between
Meih0ma, Frank, and young man named
William ?. Lewis, in which the two first named
parties came off second best, getting complete
ly "used up" Lewis was arrested, charged
with the assault and robbery of MehOma, but
on the examination yesterday before Justice
Egerton, the evidence proved to be of so con-
Trajectory character, that it was impossible to
arrive at any conclusion whatever as to what
were the just merits ofthe case. The plaintiff
swotc positively to his being robbed Of the mo-
ney, but he could identify no person as having
been the thief nor could he say who had beat
en- him. No one witness c0rroborated title
Of the evidence of another, and consequently
the Justice was compelled to discharge all the
parties 1t was strange kind of case through
out, and was one of those inexplicable matters
which sometimes occur which it would defy
the most searching scrutiny to explain
A Dual on the Carpet. We have ascertained
from an authentic source that five or six gen
Hemen from Philadelphia are now in our city
making arrangements for healing the wounded
honor of two of the number by an appeal TO
the duelist's code. The sport was to have
come of day before Yesterday, but was post
poned, we presume on account of the cold |
weather The parties are incogntc, and of
course we cannot give their names. They |
have been several days arranging the prehm
nares, and it is probable thata further iniention-
al delay may afford the police an opportunity
of preventing hostile meeting, and thereby
relieve the anxiety of their maternal parents.
They may be found at two Of our principal
hotels.
Fish. There was a large number Of fine
Shad in the Lexington market, yesterday NOR
ming, which were brought from Norfolk
They sold at prices ranging from seventy five |
cents to one dollar per pair, and were soon
NlSpuSSu Ol' ECto w dS dlSD d IuH supply VI |
other kinds of fish, but prices were toerably |
high.

cob G. Lloyd, we're arrested by the watch on !
Thursday night, charged with assaultng and |
knocking down one Joseph Starr, on Light-st. |

acre Yesterday morning, and Lloyd discharged |
and Grindle committed to Jail.

day, arrested John Clark, charged with riotng
on the 18th of January. He was committed |
to nl in default ofsecurity to appear at court,
by Justice Wright.
