ALMOST A SERIOUS AFFAIR.--IhiS
morning as one Of the market carts was
leaving the city, the horse became fright
ened and dashed off at furious rate down
the street, and ON turning the corner of
Hawk street the cart upset, throwing
both driver and horse violently to the
ground. A large crowd soon gathered at
the scene of action, to render assistance,
but we were pleased to learn that Meth
er driver or horse were hurt, with the ex-
ception of few slight scratches.

MAYORS oURT.-This tribunal was
well attended this morning.

MAYORS CoURT-Ths tribunal was
well attended this morning.
RIoTOUs.-John Moore, a white man
was arraigned before His Honor this
morning for 'kiclling up muss" in the
streets. John was fined ''two dollars''
but being rather indifferent about the mat
ter, averring that he could not raise the
"dimes," and stating that he would as
soon go to Jail as not, Mayor Ferguson
accommodated him, and accordingly he
was placed in charge of an officer.who in
forms us that he was placed away snug
ly. John, we think, will soon become
tired of this, notwithstanding that he
boasts Of being a Baltimore "Plug Uglv."
"Ugies" should recollect that they are in
city proverbial for peace and quiet and
that our Mayor invariably metes out to
such characters a just punishment.
ANOTHER R1oTER.-J. Bishop was
also arraigned for being riotous, and upon
torking over chink" to the amount of
two dollars, he was permitted to depart
in peace.
SUPPOSED DEsERTERs.-Henry Bland
and George Smith were arrested last
night as deserters, and were this morning
committed to jail.
ANOTHER Thomas Bryant, was also
arrested on the suspicion of being
deserter, from the ship John Howle, and
Mayor Ferguson this gning committed
him to Jail until the matter could be
properly investigated.
FEMALE PuerLIsT1cs.-Ann Eliza
Jones and Pocahontas Keiper-were be-
fore His Honor this morning for giving
evidences in the street of being con the
MUSCLE" They were required to find
security for their future good beha-
viour and at the closing Of our report
neither had found q friend-something
so requisite in the hour of trouble. 1t is
true ''Pocahontas" offered security, but
the Mayor refused to take the "gentle-
man" offered; and expressed his deterlni-
nation to take none but the very chest in
market" having come to the conclusion
that the "fallen angels" shall be either
quiet and peaceable,or inmates of our city
prison.

VISIT OF EX-PREsIDENT PIERCE TO
OUR SISTER CITY.-At eleven o'clock yes
terday, the eX-Prcsident, Mayor Fergu-
son, Samuel I. Sawyer, Esq, and dele
cation from our Council and other gen.
wharf in the boats from the Navy Yard
for the purpose Of visiting our sister city,
and on landing, q salute was fired. After
arriving at the Navy Yard, and inspect
ing the various departments they were
invited to Commodore Dornin's, where
they partook of most bountiful COLA
tion and the ex-President was here in
PRODUCED to many ladies and gentlemen.
After leaving Commodore DIS. the visitors
waited upon Lieut.. North, where q large
number of ladies and gentlemen We're as
sembled; and after remaining some time,
they bid adieu to their friends for the pur-
pose of visiting the Powhatan and Penn
sylvania, where splendid collation., were
spread, and from all we can learn, they
were respectfully well-cared for.
At half-past two they took their de-
parture, having enjoyed themselves well,
and the ex-President received q welcome,
such as the good people of the Old Do
minion only are capable ofextendmg toa
distinguished visitor.
To-day he will visit Portsmouth again,
and all who may feel disposed to call on
him and extend to him {" the right hand
offellowship" will have an opportunity of
so doing by calling at the Ocean House.
AS announced in yesterdays issue, our
citizens will have an opportunity Of call
ing upon him at the Council Chamber
tomorrow and no doubt they will avail
of the pleasure in large numbers.
AN ATTEMPT AT MURDER.-A white
man named j. Sawyer, residing ut
Moyack, Cunituck Co., was found on the
road on Saturday night last, near the
house of q free negro called "Old Cake
Isaac, " in the above neighborhood in
state of insensibility with his throat cut
and every appearance of having been
badly beaten by some one. 1t is sup
pose he cannot recover
We understand that suspicion rests on
"Old Cake Isaac, as Sawyer visited his
house about one o'clock on that day and
used quite abusive language towards the
negro while under the influence of liquor
1t is not known at what hour he left the
negroes house, as no further notice was
taken of the matter till he was found in
the above condition. No arrest had been
made up to Monday 1t is said that but
little sympathy is felt for Sawyer in the
neighborhood; though We hope every ex-
ertion will be made to bring the perpe-
traitor of so diabolical an outrage to spec
dy justice.

THE WEATHER.-Yesterday was truly
a lovely day, the sun shone in all its
brightness, with pleasant breeze from
the North East.
The Ladies of our city took advantage
of the treat and turned out en- mass.-
Main and Church streets presented truly

gree the great thoroughfare of New York,

it has been our pleasure to witness so
much beauty at one time Bachelors, a

hearts just take a promenade up and down

noon like yesterday, and if you do not
fall in love we are very much mistaken.

BAD BoYs.--It is with feelings of pity
and sadness, that we sometimes witness
the conduct of boys going at large in our
streets. A few days ago, in company
with young friend, we took walk to
the getty of the Dead, for the purpose of
visiting the graves of several departed
friends. On nearing the grave Of One
who we had always loved whilst on
earth, and whose memory we shall ever
cherish, we witnessed a scene that made us
sigh-close by the grave OF our friend we
saw four boys engaged in playing cards.
On our approach they fled, and we used
extra exertions to get their names, but
could not succeed. Parents, look to thy
children, and keep strict eye upon
them.

to the determination to maintain the STATE
credit, and the check which has been given
to the railway system by the present money
crisis, recommends the Legislature to take
decisive measures to secure beyond all
question the honor and credit of the State
He desires All amendment to the railway
system which will enable the companies to
secure the work done, and ultimately, to
complete the roads; to place additional
guards upon the banking system as will
confine it within legislative limits and tend

in order to accomplish this, the Governor
advises that no more State bonds be issued,
and tax be levied to cover the whole
amount of interest upon the State bonds
That the State have representation of the
different roads in proportion to the amount
of bonds issued to the roads that bonds
of the State should in future be disposed
of BY an agent appointed by the Executive,
and the proceeds credited to the officers of
the companies; that the Board of Public
Works be empowered to penetrate into the

fails to redeem it's circulation at the clear
