Arrest.
The steamship Huntsville, from New York, came
up to this city a few minutes past o'clock p m
yesterday and the firing Of her gun was the signal
for an immediate congregation Of large crowd on
the wharf all intent upon getting sight OF the 70
nous gallant DeRevire, who was reported to be on
board and in pursuit Of his inamOraa, Miss Blouni.
The ship was sometime settling down into her berth,
and it not little amusing to witness the eTiden-
Of curiosity that manifested themselves in the
anxious crowd The air was excessively hot and
close under the bluff bat this tring inconvenience
seemed not TO impair, II the slightest degree, the
interest Of the assembled multitude in the hero of
the occasion and certain events thai awaited him.
Tie steamer having neared the wharf, Sheriff
PendeTgast was the first to 60 aboard, followed by
certain suspicious looking gentry looking for all the
world rs if they we're charged with some of the deli
cate Offices of the law Upon consulting the list Of
passedgers, the name of DeReviere did not appear
but The captain politely informed the Sheriff that
one Lewis Davis corresponded in every particular
with the gentleman who the object of his search.
This Mr.. Davis being pointed out, the Sheriff gently
took him aside, addressed him by his proper name,
which he acknowledged, and informed him that he
was his prisoner by virtue Of two warrants issued
at the instance of Col Bount, to keep the peace
towards the said Blount and the other for the abdue
ton Of The daughher of e. informant from the State
of Alabrma with the intention of deflement The Law
Of Alabama makes this offence pUisbatle by cOnfne-
ment in the peniteutisTy, and Col Blount, learn
can clearly make good the charge by proofs now in
his possion, that gallant LcthariO was, at the
date of the abduction, married u lady in the State
Of New York.
The Zouave took the awkward circumstances that
had so suddenly come upon him with much GOODNESS
and composure lie acknowledged the authority Of
the Sheriff and epp' essed entire will lDgness to do
bis bidding The stage having been run aboard and
secured to the steamer, an immense crowd imme-
diately thronged the cabin Of the vessel until the
air was almost suffOealing. The ZOuave quietly
seated in the ait part Of the saloon by the side Of
the Sheriff. and earnestly engaged in conversation
with gentleman familiar with his native language
He il, upon the whole, fine looking man, some six
feet in height, we'll proportional $50 far, would
judge while he was in a sitting posture,l dark hair
and eyes, while his general aspect is more German
than French patch Of court plaster on his right
cheek marked the wound recently received 10 duel
at Mobile, which is well nigh healed He is evi
IDENTIFY travelled man and has learned to brave the
uphill points in the journey Of life and to look with
the eye OF philosopher upon every fate.
Matters having become somewhat quiet on the
dack Sheriff Peadergast came ashore with his pris>
oner, when both entered buggy and drove down
the bluff This movement revived the sensation and
the crowd rushed down the bay, halting at every
block to be prepared for a sight when the party
should drive up into the city. The buggy eventual
ly emerged from below, and was followed by he
multitude to Justice Connells Office, at the corner
Of Bull and Bryan streets where full bench Of
Justices, composed Of Messrs. Cornell, St4ley and
Russell, we're convened for a preliminary examins-
ton Of the matters charged in the warrants
Me'srs Bacon and Levy appeared for the State
and Joseph Ganahl, ESQ for the prisoner. Some
discussion occur ed the point Of juris liciOn but
it being late The further consideration of the
was postponed until to-day In the meantime, Capt
DeReVier was committed TO jail
The next sitting of The magistrates will be held at
Il md lear I ie he nj If
Capt DeRevieres counsel to place Mrs. Blount and
daughe r upon the stand The scene will doubtless
be rich and command a full house.
l. is said that these ladies continue to be thorough
" identified in feeling with the accused and ma n
tain that the legal roceedngs against him an
outrage upon light and justice Mrs 3. has offered
to defray all the expenses Of the defence Upon
the whole it is a curious case bat perhaps We may
get the merits Of it in the of the testimony.
