warrants issued
of Col. +. :. Blount, to keep the
peace toward the said Blount, and the other for the
abduction of the daughter of the informant from the
State of Alabama with the intention of deilement.
| The law of Alabama makes this offence punishable
by confinement in the Penientiary, and Col Blount,

proofs, now in his possession, that gallant Lo-
thario was at the date of the abduction married to

the Sheriff, and expressed entire willingness to do
his bidding. The stage having been aboard
and secured to the steamer, an immense crowd i'm
mediatcly thrunged the cabin of the vessel, until
the air was almost sufocatng. The Zouave was
quietly seated in the aft part of the saloon by the
side Of the sheriff, and earnestly engaged in

Matters having become somewhat quiet on the deck
Sheriff Prendergast came ashore with his prisoner,
when both entered buggy and drove down the
bluff. This movement revived the sensation and
the crowd rushed down the Bay, hating at every
block to be prepared for sight when the party
should drive up INTO the city. The buggy eVentu-
ally emerged from below and followed by the
multitude to Justice Connell8 office, at the corner
of Bull and Bryan streets, where full bench OF
Justices, composed Of Messrs. Connell, Staley and
Russell, were convened for preliminary examina-
ton of the matters charged in the warrants
Messrs. Bacon and Levy appeared for the State
and Joseph Ganah Esq, for the prisoner. Some
discussion occurred on the point of jurisdiction, but
it being late, the further consideration of the
case was postponed until to-day. In the meantime
Capt De Riviere committed to Jail.
The next sitting of the magistrates will be held at
the Court House, and learn it is the intention of
Capt. DeRiviere's counsel to place Mrs. Blount and
her daughter upon stand. Thesccne will doubt

1t is said that these ladies continue to be thor

maintain that the legal proceedings against him are

Upon the whole it is a curious case, but perhaps
may get at the merits of it in the course Of the
testimony.
