A SMALL WoLF.-JoEn Wolf a very talented
child III the stealing line, yesterday brought be-
fore Recorder Baldwin upon the charge of having
stolen a martingale from unoending sadder
The martingale very beautiful, and so was the
young gentleman accused of having stolen it. He
was taken down, merely to cool himself of. We
have not the slightest doubt but that the Juvenile
villain would have stolen the bride of Alexander
the Great, when he wanted to catch the poney Of
Darius the Persian. This unexceptionable william
was politely requested to take up apartments in the
workhouse until further notice.

No. sol, was yesterday arrested by the Second Mu-
nicipalty Police on the charge preferred against
him by Joseph Newton, who accuses him of having
stolen four cart loads of bricks The accused was
remanded for examination.
NARCIssUs = Narcissus. not the beautiful voutb
who was enamoured of his own image as seen in a
fountain, and from his oveliness was changed into
the flower which now bears his ame,-but Narcis-
sus YOuvette, was yesterday brought before Re-
corder Baldwin upon the charge of having come to
the house OF Louisa Ferraud, f. NJ c.. and threaten
ing to dash her brains out with an axe and scalp
her child upon the spot The Recorder, however
came to the conclusion that it merely a slight
domestic difficulty, and when Narcissus declared
that he was willing to keep the peace, he bound
him to be charitable in future and to keep his
digits from handling unseemly weapons.
SENT DowN-William Jones was Yesterday sent
down for further examination, upon the charge of
having stabbed free man of color named jeremiah
Norris. The accused was sent to the workhouse
by Recorder Baldwin, for having failed to prove

having proved his freedom
