CITY INTELLIGENCE.


ARRESTED By TKIEGHAPH Yesterday Captain
Davis, of the city police, received telegraphic
despatch from the Mayor of Richmond, Virginia
asking thai two persons charged With -tealnp
sum Of money in Richmond, :-:ignt be arrested on
their arrival in this city. Their names we're Frank
Malloy and Francis McCannon. The despatch
gave minute description of their personal APP
pesrance, from the color of their eyes to that Of
their dress, and their exact height and even their
manner, 80 that any one could have detected them
had the description been made public.
Captain Davis, with Officers Allen and Cuttings,
awaited the arrival of the steamboat, and identi-
fed and arrested Malloy, who, upon examination,
was committed TO Jail TO await his trial. McCan-
non, il seemed, had not taken this route.
Such is now the facility which the telegraph af-
lords the operations of the police, that it has be-
come much safer for criminal to remain In the
city Of his crime than attempt escape TO another
place. - NN @ett#
HORSE THIEr ARREsrxp.---About a month ago,
Mr.. Harvey, of Maryland lost horse by theft
short time since his son saw the horse attached to
a wagon ut Central Market. On ascertaining that
the wagon belonged 70 Mr.. Hutchinson, he pro-
cured warrant and had Hutchinson arrested
who, in answer the charge of stealing the horse
declared that he bought him of Addison Brown, in
Virginia. Thereupon warrant was procured
against said Brown, who was after arrested in
Alexandra, by X. Is. Bell of the Guard, and r.
Hughes, county officer.
Upon examination Brown assumed very high
tone, claiming to be an "F. r. w." resident of
Loudoun county, but the appearance of an officer
who knew him, put an end TO his bravado. The
fact then out that he was an old prison bird,
and that he had served two terms in our peniten-
tiary.
His examination resulted in his commitment.
Hutchinson, in whose possession the horse was
found, was released on bail. His examination will
take place tomorrow afternoon
THE OPERA.--On Saturday evening, the occasion
of Miss Pyne's benefit the theatre was fun to over
flowing, every possible seat being occupied and
quite number of seats achieved on the backs of
benches, ratings, &c., that have heretofore been
considered impossible. The ladies', as on the eve
ming before not only occupied the dress circle but
also the parquette.
The comic opera of the Barber of Seville was
very well rendered though some portions of gave
evidence of little study the part of the choruses
and orchestra. But the great merits of the " Sky
lark" as Miss Pyne has been justly called, atoned
for these faults, and in measure made the audi
ence forget them.
We are glad to learn that this troupe will again
appear on our boards on their return from Rich
mond. The thanks of our citizens are due to Man
ager Ford for this rich musical entertainment.
FUEERAL.-The funeral of the late Rev. Thos.
II. Busey, who died in this city on Saturday morn
ing took place at the Foundry (Methodist) church
yesterday afternoon. Notwithstanding the incle-
mency of the weather, large audience assem-
bled. We understand the disease of which he died
was bilious fever during which hemorrhage oc-
CARED, which no doubt accelerated his death
About the same time Rev. John NJ Jones, of the
South Baltimore station, died from the effect of
hemorrhage of the lungs, after brief illness of
two days, in the Goth year of his ministry, and in
the seth year Of his age.
CAUTIoN--We bid certain Sag Nicht Associa-
ton to take warning and lay its plans with all pos
sible care, and not miss move in the game it is
playing. "Sam " is at it's heels, and its nefarious
and proscriptive designs are well known to that
ubiquitous parsonage.
When political associations descend so low as to
pass resolutions and enter into compacts to stop all
business connection with their political opponents
for the avcwed purpose of forcing them to vote
for or against certain candidates. it is time for men
to begin to thnk--aye, and to act, too.
Again we bid that Association beware Sam is
after you with sharp stick and possibly may
make some Babylonsh excavations soon.
Y Rev. Mr.. Thurston, delegate from the New
Hampshire Conference to the Methodist General
Conference, about to assemble at indianapolis
preached at Wesley Chapel yesterday morning.
SAD CAsE-Mrs Matilda Goddard was yester-
day arrested for profanity and drunkenness, taken
before Justice Hollingshead, and sent to the work.
house for sixty days. The woman is of good fam
ly, and in respectable circumstances. Yesterday
after the disposition of her case, two interesting
children to the Justices Office to learn what
had become of their mother. Had this been the
first or second time that she had been overtaken
in this manner, her case would probably have been
treated more leniently. As it is, the course pur-
sued by the Justice is probably the best for her
and her friends
ATTENTIoN.--Them meeting of the Combined Coun
ellis, at the American Hall, on Seventh street,
promises rich entertainment. Hon. II. Marshall
of Kentucky, Hon. T. r. Whitney, of New York,
and Hon. Mr.. Trippe of Georgia, will address the
meeting. All persons are invited who are favora-
BILE to the cause.
The JEWISH PAssovER.-The Jews keep this
week of their Passover or Pascba being a festival
among them which derives its English name from
Gods passing over the houses of the Israetes and
sparing their first born, when those of the Egyp-
tians were put to death. The name of Passover
or Paschal Lamb, was likewise given to the Lamb
slain in memory of that deliverance. The festival
lasted seven days, beginning on the evening of the
l4th of the month Nsan, and commenced with kill
ing the Lamb as detailed In Exodus xii 1t is GUS
tomary now to keep the eighth day, because the
Rabbis knew not the exact time, and therefore
made day more to cover the time with certainty
The WEATHER.-"Nowi is the winter of our dis
content" 1t is hard enough to bear the rigor Of
winter when the almanac says il is in season. but
when, as now, winter returns, after truce to his
hostilities, at time when we have been disarmed
by the seductive influence of treacherous April we
are douby discontented.
In this case we have had some most delightful
spring weather. of such warmth that we had in
vseted in a "pile of straw to protect the head
from the fierce rays of the summer sun, and had
