Judge Canon, who is one oflhe mos, de-

IN Charities street. On arriving at tho
Court the Judge issued cap0is 10 the own
er of the store, the banquete sidewalk Of
which was in such bad condition, and on
his appearance fined the offender in tho
sum OF $50, and gave him a severe lecture
upon his duty as good cilizen--to wash
down his banqnet'e and keep in good CON-
diton. The citizen promised TO be more
attentive in future, and TO sin no more
According ", yesterday, as tie Judge passed
by the store of the repentant vioIstor Of
municipal authority, he found that the ban-
qnette had not only been freed from every
particle Of dirt and filth, but had actually
been washed down with soap, the crubstones
whltewashed, and the whole banauet.e
sprinkled with rose leaves, and scented with
cologne. The Judge, who loves a good
joke as much as clean pavements, highly
appreciated the wit Of the tasIfuI citizen
and will, we presume, remit the fine, and
annul the Judgment against him.

AMERICAN IMPREssMENT.-A claim for
damages is before Congress, in the case of

traders, who, while crossing the plains of

MS train was again overtaken and pressed
INTO the service by Col, Doniphan.

to leave his mere handse there, " here il was

Death Of Col. James A. Banks.

Our readers will regret to learn that authentic
intelligence has been received of the decease of
Col. JAMES A. BANKS, son of Ephraim Banks,
Esq, of this place. He died at San Francisco,
California, of chronic dysentery, on the 18th of
October, aged 20 years, month, and days
UnprePared as his parents and relatives were for
such an announcement-the last accounts, re-
ceived bat few weeks since, having represent
ed his health as much improved, and his pros
poets for success in life fattering-his demise
falls with heavy hand upon those to whom he
was endeared by the ties Of kindred and friend
which man moves-one moment buoyant with
high hopes for the future the next s. lifes cher
ished dreams are oer," and he lies cold and life
less in the grave.

placed by ample three story buildings, an ex-
change with lofty sky-light fropted the water,
and Tor the space of half mile the throng OF
men Of all classes, characters and nations, with
carts and animals, equal!ed Wall street before
three o'clock.
In other parts of the town the change was
equally great. Tents and canvass houses had
given place to large and handsome edIflces,

opened, market houses in operation, and alt the

The Pnrkman Murder.

In relation to this exciting subject the Boston
Post has the following statement:
The whole subject of the disappearance or
death of DIR. Parkman being now fairly before
the Coroner's inquest, sitting with closed doors,
we have concluded not to give the flying rumors
of additional discoveries which are current in
the street. Some we have ascertaned to be un-
founded, and the facts on which others arc based
do not justify the statements which have been
circulated in relation to them. This is particu-
larly the case with regard to certain mortgage
notes given up TO the officers by Mrs Webster,
when they called at the house on Wednesday ai-
ternoon. The two faggots carried to the Col
lege by the express man for Dr. Webster were
trimmings Of grape-vInes, and the fact has no
relevancy except as il may 90 to sustain the as
sertion that Dr. Webster did not leave his labor
atory open last week as had been his custom.
The spots of blood on the floor of the apparatus
room and the stairs turn out TO be such marks
as most tobacco chewers make.
The excitement appeared to have somewhat
subsidized yesterday, but it was manifest, from
remarks on every hand that two Jealous parties
have been formed in relation TO the case-the
anti Webster and the anti-Littlefeid parties
each eNaggerating every circumstance as it IS
supposed to make for its own side, or against
the other.
1t is proper TO state that there are FIVE ways
by which the laboratory may be entered. Two
from the entry leading to the dissecting room,
which entry opens upon the street. One from
the apparatus room above, and accessible from
the lecture room One from the passage way
connected with the Janitor's apartments, which
passage terminates in door in the rear of the
building which IS accessible from the water
side by regular landing. The fifth entrance
is by a rear window, without climbing, when
the tide is up.
