AssAULr.-A nan named Philip Roberts charged

cumstanoes in the case was bound over in the sum
OF 500 to keep she peace.
DauNK-Owen Brannon was found lying In
state of intoxication near the Frederick.burg De-
pot ON Monday, and conveyed to the cage. 1t be-
ing his second appearance at the court, ON yester
day Justice Evans committed him to Jail for twen-
ty days in default of bail.
WITHOUT RzG1srERs.-Li.ty Gladman, an eman.
without pass or register. Case continued until
to-day for further examination.
Litty represented that she was In the service of
DR.. Enpie, but enquiry proved her statement
false.
Rebecca James, free negro, Yves also arrested
at the same time and place, in default of papers,
Yesterday she was committed to Jail for want of
register.
STEALING SHBRrINa "A free negro named John
Hudson entered the of Valentine Cohen, stu
ated on Broad, near 5th street. about noon on Mon
day, and stole piece of unbleached sheeting con-
tanning about forty yards and worth 50. He was
pursued and caught near the market; and on yes.
terdsy received 25 lashes.
ANEW BRIDvz.-The passage of 10th street. on
has with of Tho rubic has. hco,
obstructed by the cutting of the Canal for the new
locks, has been restored by the erection Of strong
Few bridge the entire width of the street.
That section of the city will rapidly improve and
increase In business alter the completion of the
locks and the repair of the streets the South side
of the Basin. Already four substantial brick hous.
es have gone up and are now in course of com
pletion, on Canal street. between 9th and 10th
streets. Property on the South side of the Canal
and Basin, predict, will, many years, be the
most valuable in the city.
CoEREcTIoN.-The name OF the person Ia con.
necton with shooting case" alluded to yesterday
in our police reports, was not "BargaEin," as erro-
neously printed, but "Frederick xBorgman" We
make this correction in justice to the highly re-
spectacle family of the name of Bargamin, in this
city, none of whom have ever been known to have
any business in May ors court
NEW FowLrNG PIEcE.-Passing by Mr. Henry
Hyman's store, ON Main street Monday, We stopped
for few moments to examine an improved double
barreled gun just imported from England. Tho
peculiarly of this gun consists in the locks, which
are percussion, and made to strike the cap hori
zontally instead Of diagonally. The lock is also
made lower, and its peculiar shape and position
guards fully against those accidents which often
occur with ordinary fowling pieces By catching the
lock against twig or buah 1t is perfect safety
lock- and SO covers the cap as to prevent its burst
ing and flying off in small fragments. We tried one
of the new waterproof percussion caps on one of
the locks and found that it separated the sides into
four parts, but did not rend it apart Although not
much of a judge of sporting Implements, we should
think this gun peculiarly recommended itself to the
shooting gentry for safety and service.
NEW SToRR.-We are always pleased to see i'm
provements in our city and its commercial affairs,
and design to keep readers we'll posted on the
subject our time and space will allow. In this
spirit, we must notice the new and hands ome store
of Messrs. Courtney g. Hill, on the corner of Broad
and 9th streets, Shockoe Hill. The carpenter, the
painter, and glazier first expended their genius in
making the store room attractive, and this was fol
lowed up by the proprietors decorating it with
large and beautiful assortment of new goods 1t
exhibits now, to dealers, the most inviting air in
every respect.
SIGNS OF BusINEss.-For business and hustle,
we are aware that city is still tar behind the
great CITY of New York but, Yesterday about 3
o'clock, witnessed. on Cary street, one of those
street chokings which SO frequently occur in that
city. So numerous were the wagons and other
vehicles employed in the transportation Of goots
and articles of various kinds, that the space be.
tween the Columbian Hotel and 18th street became,
for time, completely blocked up. This is an
evidence of the srea. amount of commercial bust.
ness transacting at present in our city.
