! a MIXED AFFAIR Some time since Mr.. r.
Gardner, of Maryland, removed to this CITY.
bringing with him young colored girl who
had been bound to him in that State. After
bis arrival he hired the girl to Mrs Ben iamin
Cb ambers. Wishing 10 have the girl bound
to him under the laws Of the District he tired
to get possession OF her; but Mrs Chambers.
IN order to prevent that, went to Justice Dom
| AND had bond drawn UP to secure the conn, =
| against any expense that might accrue on A..
count of the girl. Justice Dom referred the
bond to the Orphans Court, when Judge Pur
cell refused to accept the bond, on the ground
that he considered Gardeners indentures sufi
clent until they were set aside by a high or
court. Things remained in this condition until
lately, when Gardner sued Mrs. Chamber, Fl,
the girfswages Yesterday, the case was called
up before Justice Dom; Jno. c. Brent ESQ.
appearing for Gardner, and Col. Thomson for
Mrs Chambers. During the progress of this
trial, a warrant was issued akainss Gardner.
on the oath Of Mrs. Chambers, charging him
with kidnapping and bringing the girl to this
city to make her slave for life Neither case
was disposed Of yesterday; but continued for q
further examination. 1t is due Mr.. Gardner
to say, that the witnesses declared that the
i girl was very destitute in Maryland, and he
had her bound to him as an act of cha rity.
WESTERN W1LDs.-Stanlsy' g great national
panorama is nearly finished Its Interest
wonderfully increases as the end approaches,
ana tie browning scene, the Indian Heaven.
VIII doubtless surprise and delight every be-.
holder. No work Of this kind has ever come
within our notice at all comparable in the
pleasure and instruction it affords, or in the
genius Of Its execution The character of the
scenes in g Western Wilds" must prove attrac
tive to all ages and both sexes Of people, for
here are charms for the romantic, lessons for
the student, themes for the philosoper, deep
thoughts for the moralist, and objects xorthy
the contemplation of the christian ChildfeY,
will DO amused, youth and manhood pleased
and improved, and old age cheered, receiving
new ideas Of man. We feel grateful 70 the
artist for the entertainment and instruction his
work has given US, and yet trust the panorama
may be exhibited in Washington, being as
sured that it will receive distinguished marks
of appreciation Of our citizens. .
| WATCH RErURN.-Last night officer Barna.

purpose, and after short scufle. succeeded
