CRY WATCH-HoUsE.-The watch-house had
fifteen persons in it from Saturday evening to
Sunday evening. James Selden, white boy,
was found by officer Lynch and a watchman, on
Saturday night, in very bad company, and pur-
suing very wicked practices. He paid costs
and gave security for future good behaviour.
Eliza Lee and Henrietta King, sable wenches,
paid the same penalty. Elizabeth Talbot, equally
dark, was sent to the workhouse. John Pros
ser, found drunk, was sent down for sixty
days.
Messrs. Robinson and Eckton, young gentle
men, hired buggy from Mr.. Jeffcrs, near the
Navy Yard, yesterday, and last night became
stalled in pile of bricks at the corner of Sew
enth street and Louisiana avenue, where they
we're found by the Mayor of the city o little be-
fore IL o'clock They were rescued by few
watchmen, who took the abused horse and bro
ken buggy to Mr.. Pomphrey's stables, and the
gentlemen to the watch-house, whence they
were permitted to depart as soon as sober.
They nc, doubt feel badly to-day, but the buggy
looks still worse.
Officer Martin last night arrested Alexander
carp for trying to force open the door to Copp S
bar-room, and Michael Tooney for keeping him
company. He put carp in the watch house
first but while he was trying to get Tooney in,
carp got out through the window and departed.

HAVANA, Saturday, May II.
BY vessel arrived yesterday, from Puerto
Principe, we have some ten prisoners-banished
from the island for supposed disaffection-
they are to be sent to Spain by the first packet,
where they can be better cared for, and be less
liable to give trouble. 1t is far better policy
than trial by military commissions, and the
vsitations Of extreme penalties
AT other points arrests have been made, not
in great numbers, but enough to demonstrate
that the government believe the " "ever-faith-
fuls" to be slightly tainted with agfdeaeia. But
as yet there has been no action on the part of
the people, although, from the bulletin Of the
Union, Spanish paper published in New Or
leans, which we received by the Ohio, there is
an evident intention to induce the belief that
an invasion is to take place, in the hope Of ex-
citing the natiye-born population to some overt
act.
The 10Th of this month the repulse of Lopez
from Cardenas is to be honored by grand eel
ebration, for which the sever faithful" citizens
contribute $4.25 each, and a monument is to
be erected at the Cabanas, opposite the city of
Havana, in commemoration Of the event, which
will also be drawn from the pockets of those
who are most loyal.
Since it has been very evident that through
the exertions of the Government Of the United
States there is no probability of an armed ex-
pedition maturing and getting under way from
your shores, the ebullitions Of loyalty have been
working of, and come in from all parts of the
island-from the treasury suckers Of all grades,
and the people under their influence.

1t is strange how bad man viii hate those

But for Josephine, even the wonderful genius
of Napoleon, in all probability, could not have
elevated him; and after he had abandoned
her, and taken another wife, her counsels were
of great value to him. When banished to St.

Byron never thought of woman but TO pollute

lady upon his arm, and appeared to enjoy the

We observed however, with much regret,

wish to abridge the political, civil or social

will, Of their own free will and accord, dispense
with the luxury of smoking on such occasions
in future, If gentlemen introduce rowdy
practice here, rowdies will take the field and
beat them at 1.-THE privilege of promenading
the grounds and hearing the music will be

ing Mr. Arthur Hooe, of this city, and Mr. A.
j. Dallas, clerk in the Treasury Department,
met in the bar-room of the National Hotel, and
would have drank together in the company of
other gentlemen, had not Mr. Fl. declined, and
alleged for his reason that Mr. D. was not a
gentleman. Mr. d. adopted the time -honored
prescription to prove that he was gentleman,
and struck Mr.. H. with his cane. Mr.. H.
returned the blow with dexterity, but they were
soon parted.
In little while after they met in front of the
hotel, when Mr.. d. again struck Mr. H., where
upon the latter gentleman turned upon him,
and, after fight of several minutes, gave him
the worst of it. This fight was rendered very
interesting by the fact that it occurred just
after the morning service was over in the
churches, and when many ladies and gentlemen
were returning to their homes; and hence at
tracted very large congregation.
In the afternoon Mr.. D., as is understood,
challenged Mr.. H., and both parties left the
city. They were, however, followed by Mr..
?. H. Hooe and other gentlemen of the city,
who had heard of the affair." and who, it is prob
able, gave information to the authorities at Bla-
densburg. In doing this, they performed the
duty of good men and good citizens. and we
respect them for it,
The combatants were arrested at OF near
Bladensburg, and taken before a magistrate,
who bound them over to keep the peace. And
thus has ended the duel.
As Messrs. Dallas and Hooe are educated
gentlemen, respectfully connected, and occupy
ing favorable positions in life, we have thought
it prudent to make no comments upon the affair
we have related but when a couple of poor,
ignorant, friendless devils, in imitation of them
shall desecrate the Sabbath in the streets Of the
city, and swear, and fight, and gouge, and repai,
beyond the District line to end the difficulty
shall we not pounce down upon them? Certain
ly we shall, and that without mercy. We will
raise our eyes toward the clouds, and lift up
our hands and decaim against the spirit OF
rowdyism, and declare that the right of univer-
sal suffrage and the spirit of republican equality
is running society, and that gentlemen who have
much at stake in the country are in peril De-
pend upon it, our wrath will be all the warmer
for the remembrance of the past outrage which
we very well know it would not be polite in us
to denounce.
Latr.-We learn that with the principals,
DR.. Powhattan Jordan, the second of Mr.. Dal-
las, and Col Nj. Thompson the second of Mr..
Hooe, were arrested and held to bail in Prince
Georges county. On their return to this city,
Mr.. Dallas and the two seconds were arrested
and taken before Justice Morsell, who required
them to give bail in the sum of five thousand
dollars each. Mr.. Pollard Webb became the
surety for Col. Thompson, but at about half
past one O'Clock, while Mr.. Dallas and Or.
Jordan were awaiting the arrival of their friends,
the former resolved upon substituting leg bail,
but after running a couple of squares, officer
Davis overlook him, and served upon him his
writ of ne ezedt. This is our latest account.
