TEE RrsPrrr OF BARssTr.-In justice to Mr. !
Reddali, the clerk Ia the State Department who
had charge Of this document, we feel II our duty
to make the following statement: ...E
On last Friday morning we went to the jail to
note whatever TRANSFERRED In connection with the
tragic AFFAIR which was expected to take place
there on that morning. On arriving there, we
learned that a respite had been granted, and that
Mr.. king, the jailor, was then reading the same
10 the prisoner. We requested Of Marshal Sell
den copy Of the document, and he answered
that on lis being returned to him he would read
III over In our presence. Accordingly, after few
moments elapsed, the Marshal called the re-
porters present into adjoining room, and read
the respite over in their presence We asked TO
be allowed to copy IL. The Marshal, for some
reason unknown TO Us. regarded its publication
as improper, and declined granting our request.
renee In the MafshalPs opinion, and remarked
that II was sufficient to give a synopsis or the
tenor OF The Instrument. His course prevented
US from using any argument with the Marshal,
and we Quilted the jail without making further
effort to effect object Subsequently, we
called on Mr.. Reddall at the state Depart nent,
ana asked him for copy Of the respite. We
were told that he could not grant our request
without an order from President Buchanan aud
ne further stated that he had made similar
reply TO another reporter. We next procured an
order from the President and on its presentation

FUss.-The neighborhoOd Of Four-and "a
half and streets, on the Island, has been the
scene Of two or three repfehensible occurrences
recently, which are really annoying 10 the quiet
citizens OF that vicinity. What the causes OF the
alanr Dances are, we cannot certainly ascertain;
Out tnsY are said to spring, apparently, from the
meeting at that point Of two rival gangs of Young
men, who are attracted thitber by what is repre-
scented to be sort Of dance house. Last night,
quite number OF stones were thrown at the
house In question by the members of one party
aad gun was fred, we are told, from the house
The language Of those comprising the gangs was
also highly immoral and disgusting, and in tones
sumciently audible TO be distinctly heard by the
neighbors generally. The police have given the
matter their attention, and last night Captain
GODDARD, with some ten twelve onicers was
on the ground soon after the spree commenced
and speedily dispersed the disturbers Of the
peace.
