MARKET ORD1NANcE.-The charges
against Brown, Marshall, Clayton, Gentry and
free fellow named Staples for selling fish in Pink
alley on Sunday last. were examined into by the
Mayor yesterday. and dismissed, the present mar
ket ordinance repeating the old one, having affixed
no penalty for persons selling at the markets on
Sunday. Had these charges been made under the
State law the parties could have been fined for
following their usual vocations on Sunday
The City Council no doubt intended to present
persons TOR selling at the market places on the Sab
bath day, but the duty of the Mayor to enforce
their commands and not to anticipate their instruc
tions, he could do no more than he did. Will the
ordinance be permitted to remain in its imperfect
condition, or will the Council amend its We shall

the occupation of washerwoman. Before the night
ofthe murder Perry had abused Abram for being

difficulty, and told Perry that he never intended

DEATH OF GENERAL ROBERT ARMSTRONG.


The melancholy duty devolves upon us of an
noancing the death OF General Robert Armstrong,
the proprietor of this paper, and associate in
its editorial management He died last evening at
seven o'clock, at his own residence in this city,
surrounded and solaced in his Affections by most Of
his children. We are in no state of mind to pre-
pare anything like sketch of his life Our rela-
tons with him since our boyhood have been of a
character so intimate and uninterrupted, that he
was more than our friend. He died at the age of
sixty-three, of congestion of the brain. His health
for some weeks had been frail, but until yesterday
morning his disease was not regarded as threaten
ing fatal ISSUE His distinguished and gallant
services in the OF 1872 are matters of history
He was the bosom friend of General Jackson, and
the man selected by him the depositary and keep
er of his sword. 1t was our fortune to be selected
by General Jackson to deliver to General Arm
strong this invaluable legacy. The noble qualities
which endeared him to General Jackson were his
stern integrity his cool courage, his sterling judg-
ment, and his devoted patriotism In the several
responsible public trusts civil and military, which
he filled. these noble attributes marked his con-
duct He enjoyed the unlimited confidence of
Presidents Jackson, Van Buren,, Polk and Pierce
He was as amiabe and attractive in the private re-
atons oflife, he was fearless, honest, and faith
full in the discharge of his public duties Washing
