BESEvoLEScE.-Weyes yesterday saw poor drunk
en- wretch coming out of drinking cellar, and the
keeper of the cellar kindly aiding him in his exit
The poor fellow had badly bruised hat, and pants
very much scerated and in his coat several slight
Commissions, and nose that indicated modification
as inevitable. As we looked upon him in the street,
clean out Of cash and the cellar, we pited him
heartily, and the kindness of the good Samaritan,
who had SO tenderly assisted him, affected
sibly, though not unto tears.

SATURDAY NleHT IN FUNDAMENTALLY
following incidents occurred on the night of the
18th, in the City of Brotherly Love, and were
cooly reported in the papers under the head ofsat-
urday Night Frolics: -
On Saturday night there was fight, in the
neighborhood Of the Shilfler Hose house fire arms
were used, but the rowdies had precious regard
for the safety of their bodies consequently. there
was no body killed. Another alarm. about 3 o'clock
was caused by the burning of a shed at Haryev's
brick yard West Moyamensing, which had of course
been set on fire.
As the Weceacoe Hose was running up Catha-
rim Street. during this alarm, an attack was made
at the. corner of Second Street, upon man named
Derrick, who was partially intoxicated. Two dis
charges ST firearms were made at him, neither of
which took effect. While this affair was going on
the Hose carriage stopped short distance above
Second street, but moved off again at rapid rate,
on the watchmen being heard spring their attes.
The Moyamensipg Watchmen had several mus
kets fired at them from the corner OF Eleventh and
Christian streets, during the same alarm of fire
the object Of which to deter their too near APP
proach to interfere with the sports of the rowdies.
| No arrests of course.
A second alarm was occssioned, about o'clock,
by an untenanted frame building Marriott street,
below Sixth, being set on fire. The flames did very
little damage, being promptly extinguished by the
liremen. The fire undoubtedly kindled for
the purpose OF drawing some rival companies into
an ambuscade, as men armed with pistols were
seen in the neighborhood.
