SjUTnERN Jrsr1cr.--A nulltto woman namcd
Ann Matthews, was brought before the Mayor,
yesterday, charged with Icing free aud remaining
in the Commonwealth contrary to law From the
evidence lefore the Mayor 1t appeared that she is
the property Of Edward Matthews, who hires her
to Mr. RoDt Iumpkin, who had her at his slave
Jail for the last three and half years About five
years ago she was permitted by her owner to visit
Philadelphia. whore she remained three or four
months, and left there child, when she returned
to Virginia, which child, we infer from remarks
at the examination yesterday she had been IN the
habit of visiting. Mr.. Matthews still claims her as
his servant and has more than recently threat
ened 70 sell her The Mayor discharged her, while
he informed her owner and hirer that he should
instruct the Police of the city to regard her as q
slave and see that she should not be allowed the
privileges Of a free woman. Richmond Mail, "a.
MAINE LAw.-Bishop Burgess prot Epis.) of
Maine, has written letter in reply to several
questions respecting the workings Of the Prohibi-
tory Law in that State. Having been asked
whether the law had justified the expectations
entertained oft by its friends Mt the time of its
passage he says;
What were the actual expectations cannot ven
turc to say but every reasonable expectation must
have been moro than satisfied Whatever it is in
the power of prohibitory law to accomplish with
out extreme severity or inquisiorial scrutiny this
law has generally, in my opinion, accomplished.
Those who are bent upon obtaining liquor can and
do succeed but ii has ceased to be an article of
traffic; it has ceased to present any open tcmpta-
ton but the young are comparatively safe, and
all evils of public drinking-shops and bars are
moved, together with the interests of large body
Of men in uphodng them for their own pccuniary
advantage.

to see and been secn-a very few for deyotion's
sake jthcrs threw penny into the urn Of charity,
and took q shilling out.
At midnight five or six hundred persons wended
their way to Fosters Theatcr, and laughed till

I INCREASE or CoxvIcrs IN THE ONO PENIrExrrARY
The Columbus Fact says that there are now con
fined within the walls of this prison greater mum
ber OF convcts than at any previous period of It's
history. The whole number on Saturday was five
/ Hundred and Twcnty-Four Nine cOnvicts arrived
Tuesday from Cuyahoga, seven from Loran, and
four from the county of Erie. Wednesday three
additional more were received, thus swelling the
unfortunate fearful and appalling list to the grand
total Of 524. Crime appears to be steadily the
increase, in the proportion to the population of the
State. All of the efforts that have thus far been
excrtod in our State for the last twenty-five years
seem to have been ouy at best to have restrained
and confined it 10 its natural growth. No progress
seems to have been made in checking it.
