new establishment.
A BAD PENNY WILL RETuRN.-The old familiar
face of Dan Moran,-a name already immortalized
in the annals of topers-appeared at the Mayors
court yesterday morning. He was recently dis
charged from JAIL and by various hooks and crooks
and selling Of books has succeeded in obtaining a
suficiency of corn-whiskey to keep himself corned
since his liberation. Sunday being leisure day
with Dan he took it into his head to the old
custom of lecturing on temperance, being urged
thereto by divers movings of the spirit. His eyes
shed bitter tears of bachanslian grief over the
drinking and drunken sons of Richmond-and tax
ing very unsteady position in front of the Co.
lumbar Hotel he hiccupped forth torrent of
abuse against liquor and liquortes and de.
Tended the Maine liquor law in strong TERMS not at
all choice in their character. Officer Warrington
was unexpectedly for some time one of Dams most
attentive steners-but the Officer being strict de-
fender of the law of the city, and expounder of
the doctrine of peace, especially on the Sabbath
conveyed the vociferous reformer to more be-.
nighted and less public place for exhortation, the
cage. Yesterday Dan was sent to Jail for one
month, where we suppose he will resume his for.
mer attempts at reformation. He should first com
mence, however, with himself.
WITHOUT PAPERS Joseph Francis, negro
sailor, employed recently on board the schooner
Cherry, is native Of ork county, and las bee n
residing in this city some time past for the purpose

return Immediately to his native county CT York
Elizabeth Smith was arrested by the watch, Sun
day evening, in default of register, she having
carelessiy left it at home Elizabeth was very
boozy-did not know where her home was-swore
it was burning shame to treat a lone widow in
that manner, and finally quenched her tears and
drunken heartache in good sleep in the cage -
Yesterday she was discharged producing her
papers.
THREATENING A WHITE MAN-Mr, Thomas Bar.
thoomew, while proceeding along Franklin street,
Friday evening, heard scutfing near Blankenship's
stable, and found it proceeded from the fighting OF
two dogs who were urged on by two negroes. Mr..
B. spoke to one OF the negroes who returned civil
answer. The other, slave named Reuben Baker
hired to DIR. Cabell, wanted to know what the hi
he had to do with it, and swore he would whip any
white man that in.erfeted with him Mr. r. re.
piled that he should not whip him-whereupon he
negro took off his coat and was about striking Mr..
B. when Mr.. John Hagan interiered and stopped
the negro. Very properly, yesterday, the sudacity
of the negro punished with 80 lasnes. Let this
negro be marked ana watched
