the country, named Jones Deane, and William
Revnold., were found drunk and asleep, on
Friday nght-,he former under a butchers
stand. in the Old Market-ihe latter in Military
Hall. over the same market, his propensity be.
ing to get high up in the world. They were
toiling and industrious men, and this was their
first appearance in a criminal court. sad
and ,epulsive appearance, truly-reeking with
the fumes Of liquor, soiled with market refuse,
and redolent of the miasma of the cage Dur
ing the examination of Deane, he gave most
horrible yell, and fell back in fit. 1t was
some time before he recovered his senses, and
it is to be hoped that the fearful and degrading
lesson of nights indiscreiion, will warn both
Reynolds and himself to walk in the plain and
healihlul path ofsobriety in the future. IL
mid youth, a spectator of the Mayors Court
proceedings, was standing looking at Deane
with painful solicitude, and Immediately upon
his fainting, bounded out of Court, with eyes
starting, and CHASTITY features, as if the man
with the poker had come after "the hope Of the

UNION BENEVOLENT SocIErY.-Attention is
called to the advertisement of Mr.. Pratt, in this
days issue. 1t will be seen that he gives up
to-day and tomorrow for the benefit of the So
ciety above named. This liberality is COM
mendable. We hope those who wish their da
guerreotypes taken will have it done now, as
they will be killing two birds with single
stone.
MUSICAL TEAcHING.-See the advertisement
of MIR. Brandt.
This gentleman has come to US with a high
character, both as man of worth, and teach
er of music. He brings with him, also, nume-
| rous letters from persons of high respectable
~, to gentlemen and ladies of standing here.
Above all these, so far as musical qualifications
are concerned, he has the imprimatur of our
| townsman, Mr.. p. Fl. Taylor, which is worth
| its weight in gold, to any professor of musical
science.
We do not hesitate to recommend him as
gentleman, and a skful teacher.
| FIRE.-A fire broke out about quarter past four
O'Clock yesterday evening" in the upper room of
| building attached to Seabrooks warehouse on 18th
street, and tenaned by at the servants of the

some tobacco was drying.
SERIOUS AccIDENT.-An interesting youth, ne.
med John Pesrce, of Mr. Samuel Pearce, natter
near the old market, was run over by an omniSus
Saturday evening little after dusk, and very Sc
varely iDjured-his left arm being broken and his
| side much confused. We understand that young
Pearce running the street at the time he
was knocked down by the team Of the omnibus,
| and run over.
THE LADIES Fashions This is subject which
we have always doubted the right of the gentlemen
to NEEDLE with, yet there is fashion in vogue,
so abhorrent to our notions of beauty and propri-
ety. that we are forced TO violate Of settled
principles to speak of il. We allude TO the extreme
length of the ladies dresses at present. Where is
the advantage, the propriey the beauty of dress
| SO long as to be drsgging and sweeping at every
step, the miseraby dirty streets of the city Of Rich
mondi Daily we have eur sympathies aroused by
witnessing the fine dresses of sk satin, &C., trail
ing and dragging along the black, dusty and muddy
Streets of the city After the shower of rain Sat
tn day, when many of our pretty bellies were On
the street. We were shocked at the destruction Of
fine goods going on, and straig htwsy took seat
to pour out our indignation against a nonsensical
fashion which caused it. Many of The victims held
up the fore-parl escape the mud and water, while
the hnd-par was in for it most distressngly. Now
if We could discover "rhyme reason" in such
long dresses, we would hold cur peace but, for
the life Of US, have been unable to discover any
merit or beauty whatever in such an absurd and
abominable fashion. We hope the ladies' Will ex.
cuse this plain talk. Ii is not often that we meddle
with their affairs but in this case, we cannot hold
our peace. Can it be that the ladies' Of Richmond
are ashamed of their feeu This cannot be; for
when we last saw their feet and ankles, were in
extacies at their smallness, symmetry and beauty;
and opinion was only the opinion of every body
who saw them. The chief attractions about lady,
are handsome foot and ankle; and this fact we
communicate, in the hope that it may contribute
towards a reform of the long dress fashion.
SUBscRIPr VoTK.-We have not received
the full vote of Amelia county held on Saturday last

interest, given their voice in favor oft At Amelia
