Imam Wright, charged with disOrderly conduct
at a house on Water street. a tine was imposed
upon him, aud in feeling for his money to liqui-
date the liability he had thus indiscretely in

Police MArTEns.--Therc were few city casas
before our Aldermen during last week. In some
of the Offices there was not single case, which
is quite creditabIe to the moral condition Of the
city. From glance at the dockets, hOweve-,
we are inclined to think there exists among our
people a decided and universal disposition to
suspend specie or any other kind of payment.
There is no end to the civil suits, for the recOv
cry of money. One man sued another the other
day for 2G cents and before the matter was set
tied he had to pay some four or five dollars in
cost
