on yesterday. Mr. Hill repeated his statement
made on Tuesdsy-that he had sold Sally without

casions the watch found Sally sitting on the side

discourses of the "originality" of the great
English poet as follows:
The characteristic peculiarly of Shak.
speare's poetry must lie in the entirety and in
the lnmost core, but this, it has been shown, is
one with the Christian view in general. How
then, is Shakspeare's poetry distinguished
from the poems OF other modern dramatists.
whose compositions likewise are, we might
presume, founded on the Christian view
Shakspeare's originality consists in the great.
er purify, dIstlnctness and completeness with
which he exhibits this Christian view in his
dramas In all the two factors of human life
and history, viz the superintendent of God
and the liberty imam, the objectyty and sub.

LOCAL MATTERS.

Ixcvxn,.p,sn The examination of the boy
Henry Bradley, free negro, charged win se'tlns
FIRE TO the lumber yard and wood house oil Mr..
Williams on two separate occasions, was conun
ned ON Yesterday. With reference to the first at
,onn, alleged TO have been made on Tuesday even.
Inc weak about IL O'Clock at night, witnesses
called IN give in their evidence. We reported the
,estinouy ON the charge of second attempt made
IN the succeeding Friday, to fire the wood house.
in yesterdays paper
Mr. J. w. Smith deposed that on Friday evening
week, between the hours of 10 and IL o'clock, as
he was coming down Broad street in company
with Mr.. J. S. Parker, he discovered near the cor.
ner OF Sd street, light rejecting throug hole In
the fence from the lumber yard of Mr.. Williams.
Mr.. Parker said that it was fire, and went and
knocked at Mr.. Ws door to arouse him. Witness
then jumped the fence, the gate of which was
locked inside, and saw the lumber yard had been
fired. He called to some one standing near, to get
bucket of water, and seizing bucket himself,
drew some water from a hydrant and throwing it
upon the fire, put it out. He than pat his hand in
the hole and pulled cut some Eghtwood which ap
pesred to be pine, and come shavings, such as
would be used for kind,ing fire. One two boys
whom he did not know, were standing in the yard
Mr.. J. s. Parker corroborated Mr Sc statement
Another witness who was standing in the street
at the time Parker and Smith came up, said that
the moon shone bright and he saw no one go in or
come out of the yard from the street, before the
fire, during the time ii was being extinguished.
Smith, Rradley's employer, then stated that Brad
ley came down to the Exchange Hotel after the
FIRE on Friday last, and that he (Smith) then spoke
to him about 1t, and told him he would be punished
Bradley ran off that same afternoon.
The examination here closed
Mr.. +. Y. Cannon, counsel for the accused, said
that no positive evidence eliminating young Brad
ley, had been adduced- This yard was accessible
TO others as to Bradley. No matches were found
upon his person, and there was no apparent mo.
tive for committing the act The complaint was
simply based upon the suspicion that Bradley was
the last person seen in the yard before the fire took
place.
The Mayor decided that Bradley was not proven
guilty OF arson-for, to constitute that crime, prem
lses must be burnt-but that he was proven guilty
OF msdemeanor in attempting to set fire TO the
premises of Mr.. William The proof was, of
course, not direct proof, for it was the most diff
mug ih"snao4e 10 procure olrect proof OF the
commission of the crime of arson But he thought
the evidence proved Bradley, as he had already
said, guilty of Taisdemeanor and in consideration
OF his youth he should only order him Is lashes
with switch.
Mr.. Williams then made affidavit that he was
fearful that Bradley, if set at liberty, would seek
to fire his premises again, and the Mayor ordered
| the officer of the day to bring Bradley back into
Court after he had been whipped
