the Third Municipality, yesterday, with a good
| deal of warmth and feeling.
After pleasant walk under a broilng sun, we
reached the Recorders flee of the Third Munich

not single case of any interest had occurred
within the previous "a hours. The papers showed
| nothing but " w ork-h house cases "a few happy
fellows found drunk" a few vagrants," and
one or two leWd persons found out at improper

content ourselves, therefore, with the items from
| the Oreanian:
On Her Beam E,,ds.-The Dutch bark Ohio,
from Bordeaux, with cargo of wine, lying nearly
opposite the Mint in the First Municipality, ca
reened over toward the wharf, yesterday afternoon,
and is now lying nearly on her beam ends. She
had just discharged cargo of wine, and her turn
ing over must have been the result of faulty con
sructon, her hull being very narrow and her masts
and rigging too, high and heavy for her bottom
Had she careened outward toward the river, she
would more than likely have sunk. As it is, the
4 wharf viii probably assist in supporting her until
she can be righted.
A Long Chase.-Of1icer Busby, of the Third
Municipality police, left here about three weeks
SINCE in pursuit of an absquatulator d named
Charles Ford, who had been arrested in this city
on charge of burglary, and having given security
in the sum Of $1,000 for his appearance for trial
"cut sticks, and left his security in the lurch The
fugitive had the start in leaving the city by some
twenty-six hours, which he managed to increase tc
about four days between this and Memphis. After
this however, the pursuer began to close in him
tracing him from town to town, through Missouri
and Illinois, until at length he come up with him
in Quincy, ILL.,, where he found him in prison for
hotel robbery. OF course, he could not bring him
back here, until he to the laws of Illinois
for his crime in that State; but he found that tn,
Marshal of Quincy had the sum of $1400 in h
possession which had been taken from Ford, which
Busby garnisheed in the hands of the Marshal, tt

Quincy will take place in September, when Mr.
Cassidy his security will get back the amount o
his forfeited bond.
