Yesterday A young man, named Charles Farrell,

was shortly after arrested and Gagged.
Francis Reley testified, that reaching this city
from the Southside road, he took lodgings at the
house of Mrs Manning. at the basin, where he de-
posted his bundle of clothes. Knowing the prisoner
and being DESTROYS of visiting friend at the Armory,
he requested his services guide which was grant
ed but after going some distance the prisoner re-
turned leaving the witness to pursue his visit alone
Some TIVE hours after this, the witness found his
back Mrs. Mannings, and on inquiring for his
bundle learned that the prisoner had called and got
it. by the authority, he said, of the owner. The
witness then started in search of Farrell and going
that lady that the accused had been in there with the
bundle but had taken it out with him. Shortly after
this Farrell passed by, having on the pants and vest
taken from witness. Reley started in pursuit, and
overtakng him, demanded his bundle and clothes
The accused acknowled ged that he had taken them,
but refusing failing to give them up, he was hand

jected to Examination, when the above facts were
sworn to.
The Court, after hearing three witnesses, deter
mined send the prisoner to the Grand Jury term
of the Hastings Court, which sits in November, and

appearance.

the condemnation of the whole square between Viz

The business streets of our city continue
to present the activity of bee hive. The
town is full of strangers, who are laying in
their fall supplies. We have never seen n.
York present greater appearance of com
mercial prosperity though of course we
speak not of the extent of business in the
two cities. Boxes, bales, hampers, packages,
casks of all kinds, sizes and uses, are heaped
up along the sidewalks or in course of trans
mission from the warehouses to the various
points from which they will depart for the in
terror. Every dray is in motion, and the
noise and confusion almost deafening. But
the citizens of Richmond are very glad to
submit to the annoyance arising from the din
of trade, when they consider the returns to
be derived from their enterprise and capital
The hum of business is music to many, al
though to mere men of leisure, who care not
for trade, or its adjuncts or results, it is any
thing but agreeable.

LIE ESUltOCIlAL.-In Is the Q3y IN
which the sun crosses the equator, and enters
upon the sign Libra, causing equal day and
night throughout the earth. Every body
knows that about this period storms and tenn
pests are to be expected by sea and land.
There is no part of the year to which sailors
look forward with more anxiety than to the
autumnal equinox. Even without the in
creased perils by storm at this season, those
who so down to the sea in ships and do bu-
siness in the great waters, have the most Ia
borious and uncomfortable life A sailor at
this season, and for months to come, holds a
position to which the very worst on land
would be almost paradise. He has to keep
the most unwearied watch, and to pass his
bitter hours by night and day upon snow CO.
vered decks, while the icy rigging groans and
creaks above his head. Little comfort is
there for the sailor az any time, but in winter
he would willingly exchange his sea-chest
and wretehed rations and scanty pay, for a
nook in the meanest log cabin among the
mountains. He inwardly swears that 'this
shall be his last voyage" but no sooner does
his foot touch the shore, than he issurrounded
by land-sharks, who strip him of every
copper of his earnings, and force him again
to embark on the treacherous deep. Poor
Jack deserves the kindest treatment and the
warmest sympathy, especially at this season;
but alas! how seldom does he meet with
them. Especially do the mariners engaged
in the coasting trade along our dangerous
shores deserve eomniseration, as both the
climate and the intricate navigation conspire
to render their lives unhappy and perilous.
