Tur INEVITABLE SpoTTswooD.-Thc Right Hon

lnMn 10 most Of the readers of our police reports
has spent much the greater part of his worse than
worthless existence, in our city Jail. Although

Lave reflected honor on Barnum in the palnlicst
DAYS Of that worthy trickster. One of the strata
gems of the enterprising Spottswood, came to
light at the Mayors Court yesterday, the partcu.
lars of which we shall give our readers in the brief
est possible terms. On Monday morning last. in
answer to the repeated petitions of the hayward
Spottswood, his Honor the Mayor released him
from durance vile, on his solemnly promising to
amend his ways and dcport himself in the future
rs became citizen OF Virginia. The liberated
Spottswood had hardly inhaled II full breath Of
fresh air, before he made his unwelcome appear
anee at the Mayors Office, and then and there
made OATH that two individuals, calling them
selves respectively Sim Burfnrd and Sterling
Phelps, had made the most feiocous threats touch
ing the safety OF his immaculate person. and fur
Their avrrred that he felt fully assured that those
threats would be carried into execution, unless the
strong arm of the law was interposed for his pro-
tecuu. The two gentlemen complained Of were
forthwith applel,ended, and brought before his
Honor, 10 answer the serious charges preferred
against them by Mr.. Rider. When arrnigned they
both plead mot guilty" aud solemnly asseveratel
that they had never entertained the slightest ill.,
enIlon Of m"lesting Spot, but on the contrary.
hey in order te avoid an ntraction Of the peace,
had submitted to divers impertenance and l-usass
at the hands of that individual On one occasion,
>pott had carried his joking so far rs to collar
Burford, when the latter person told him if he did
not behave himself, he would be under the neces.
.,y of thrashing him. This WIS tie only speech
made by either Burford OF Phelps, which had the
lemotcst squirting towards becose demonstru-
ton ON their part. The whole transaction. shows
very plainly that Spott was sensible of the fact,
that he himself had been guilty of very ugly CON
uct. AMI feeling assured, in his own mind, that
I've ought to have been complained Of by the par
ties, he very wisely resolved to make the first
complaint himself, and Thus escape his own just
ie,ers. The Mayor dismissed the case aud ~
the time assured Spottswood, that in the
event # his inGulging in further ,riGiug of that
IT. he would be sent back to his old quarters,
and there remain until he learned better manners.
