DIsMIssED.-A free negress named Eliza
Phillips appeared before the presiding Justice
of the Mayors Court Saturday, and charged
Peter buckley, free negro, with threatening
to assault her, and taking from her son named
George, aged two years. The testimony proved
that Quckley had left Eliza Phillips, with
whom he formerly lived, on account of her bad
conduct-that he brought up the child, and
that he was sober, industrious man, and she
a drunken, worthless prostitute. Justice
Evans accordingly dismissed the complaint,
and committed the complainant, Eliza, to jail
in default of $50 security to be of good beha-
vior.

WYE LA BAGATELLE!

The New York Times compares the man.
ner in which the renowned Billy Bowlegs has,
at successive times, been treated by the Anne
rican public, TO that in which the great Napo-
leon was treated by the Paris Moniteur when
he landed from Elba. When it first heard of il
it said the monster has broken his cages
when he reached Lyons 6" the usurper has
been received by his soldiers, and threatens
more trouble" When he got to Paris, the
Emperor is again in his capital" &c. The
Times then proceeds:
And so it is with Field Marshal Bowlegs,
of the Seminole Army, and the public of the
United States. When he began his campaigns
against the whites in Florida, some ten or f.
teen years ago, he was treated as marauding
savage, and twitted as plain Bill Bowlegs!-
Subsequently, when it was found impractical
BILE to drive him from the chaparal or extermi
nate him by superiority of numbers, parley
was called, and he was more kindly and fami-
liarly recognized as Billy Bowlegs !! And
having after much difficulty and diplomacy in
duced the indomitabe warrior TO visit Wash
ington to talk with the President in per-
son, he is now recognized deferenlally as
Marshal Bowlegs, or William Crookshanks,
ESQ.,! Whether this Difference will secure
the desired object, viz: the abandonment with
out further bioodshed of his old hunting
grounds in Florida, remains in doubt. The
very latest dispatch, doubtless from no less
authority than the State Department, to our
neighbor of the Courier and Enquirer, inti-
mates that it will not. His ExceIlency is said
TO be taciturn and melancholy, being evidently
oppressed with apprehension that the whites
are purposing at last to take possession. He
is soon TO pay visit to this great emporium,
and we trust he will be welcomed with such
demonstrations Of popular respect, as may, in
some degree, remove his taciturnity, and light.
en- the melancholy under which he is oppressed
at Washington.

The Circular SAw.-The great superb
orty Of the Circular Saw. over that Of the up
right or frame saw, Is clearly manifested atthe
Saw Mill of Mr.. John Williams, in this city
Until recently. Dir. w. had in operation in
his mill three Of the upright saws, with which
he cut into plank about 10 logs q day. Late
" he has introduced two Circular Saws, in
the place of the three old-fashioued ones, and
these two cav into plank from 80 TO 36 logs
per day-making difference in favor of the
Circular saws of three to one-and the work
too, is performed with the same water power.
Persons who have never witnessed the ope-
ration dripping up logs with a Circular Saw,
ought to see it. The way those saws walk
into hard pine knot logs is both admirable and
astonishing. For taking heads of, we think
they would be an improvement upon the
Frenchman's guilotine.
