The circumstances of the affair are these: About
the middle oflast week Judge Davies Of the Supreme
Court Of this city issued warrant for the arrest of
MI Latourette on charge of being concerned in the
recent midnight att ck upon the Police at Seguines
Point; aud the warrant having been put into Capt.
Wshrgs hands for execution, he proceeded to
Lstour. tie house on Friday morning last for the pur
pose Of arrestng hun. He was met at the door by
Mrs Latomete, who, in answer to on inquiry for her
husband said that he wac not at home-that he
Lad gene 10 the City the day before and had not re-
turned whereupon the Captain and the officer who &C.
compauied him. turned and left the house. They had
not gone far, however, before Capt WaIEng was
seized with the suspicion that Latourette was con-
cesled in the house. and he determined TO return and
satisfy that suspicion by making search. He stated
H.. fald hErf Naf ha nUh
1. his duty TO search the house, but she stubbornly
refused to grant permission TO such proceeding, and
WAS very indignant that SO little reliance should be
placed in her statement 10 her husbands wherea-
bouts. Finally, however after wranglng with the
Captain sufficient length Of time TO allow her hus-
bard to get well out of the way, she con-
sen,ed to search of the premises. The
| search was then made, and the officers
discovered many things, but not THAT for which they
sought" ard were compelled to return to the Station
without their prisoner The Captain accompanied by
several of bis men, went again to the house about noon,
ard they approached the gate they had the sats-
faction of seeing Mr. Laourette sitting 10 the back
door Of bis residence but this was the sum Of their
satisfaction for he discovered them in time to fee to
an adjoining wood aud make good his escape, and they
, we're obliged 10 sgain retrace their steps without
making tie arrest.
That evening Constable Laforge waited upon Capt.
Wsllirg ct the Poirt and served the above warrant
upon hin. The Captain promptly responded to 1t by
going before Justice Fisher and giving bonds TO ap
pear on Tuesday and defend the charge
On Saturday Capt. Wallirg went to Richmond, and
there succeeded il auestipg Lsourette, and hsd 90

New-Yoik when he was oyertaken by DepHty
Sheriff and served with writ Of haJca corpus issued
by Judge Metcalf commanding him to bring the pris
oner tito bic presauce at he Court House in Rich
mord. The Captain of course complied with the writ.
ard the Judge issued order staying proceedings IN
the case urti tie I'D nst and placing the prisoner 10
the charge Of the Sheriff until that time
Yesterday being set down for the examination OF the
charge against Capt. WaDipg, the appointed hour
brought an a-sembage of about 100 oytermen to the
Courtroom Of Justic. Fisher, at "EeltoTn, about
two miles from the Seguine's Point station. Capt.

Mr.. Latourere, ard the defendants counsel thought

"a tissue Of contradiction. In fact the only founds-
or that they seemed to have for their charges against
Cent Waning, was that they had lost such a
sum Of money and that be had been in
thei. house. The friends Of Mr. Latoureite,
the oysteruer-presen. at the examination were in a
highly famed state OF mind and INDUCED both inside
and outside the Courtroom in jeerny aud hooking
