ANGELS IN THE Cry PRIsoN.--The anomaly
sometimes occurs that angels who have fallen
and those who have not are thrown into con-
tact with each other, and such was the case
yesterday. party Of Ave ladies, whose mild
faces, gentle manners, sweet voices and rosy
smiles seemed only made to beautify the
earth, and by their presence here prove the
existence of Heaven somewhere, visited
the female department of the City Prison,
not merely to satisfy an idle curiosity, but to
leave a sympathetic pressure of the hand
with its wretched inmates, cast ray of sun
shine into their hearts or drop word of ten
derness in their isery-burthened ears. Long
they remained, and much of sympathy they
seemed to waste; but what matters that' No
single word they spoke will ever be lost; but
like good seed scattered upon the soil, will
yet spring up within the hearts of those who
heard them, and bear thousand beauteous
flowers of hope and love, whose fragrance
will at least remind them of better days
gone and brighter ones to come.

COMMITMENT FOR PETTY LARCENy.-A man

ship, eight pen-knives,l Of the aggregate
value of 50 40, The Justice deemed bin
guilty and sent him to Jail to await trial
before the next term Of the Court of Common
Pleas in default Of bonds for his appearance,
to the amount of 500. Ordinarily, Magis-
trates dispose Of cases Of this kind at once
why it was not done in this instance is not
known. The poor fellow will have been
punished sufficiently for his. crime, even if
the Court should discharge him. HE,i5g

STEAMBOAT CAMBRIDGE SUNK AT RISING SUN.
Heavy Loss TO SHIPPERS The steamboat
Cambridge, Capt. Dean, loft this city Tuesday
afternoon for New Orleans, quito heavily
laden with freight. When she had reached
Medoc Bar, neer Rising Sun, she struck a
rock and sunk Immediately in four feet of
water. The steamer Moderator, which hap
pened to be passing at the time, rendered the
officers of the sinking boat valuable service,
but without avail. Of course no lives were
lost, but the damage to the freight will cause
heavy losses to shippers. The Cambridge can
be raised and repaired, and will soon be fit for
service. The boat was fully insured, but the
freight owners were not-a neglect which
seldom occurs, and is almost always disas-
trous.

A BURGLAR STEALS A BARREL OF BEER.-A
Falstafian German named Adam Holt, who
keeps drinking house on Western row, near
Ann-street, was considerably surprised yes
terday morning by the discovery that his
cellar had been entered the night before and
that a barrel of his choicest lager-beer had
been stolen therefrom. The thief had torn
open the cellar door and made his exit appa-
rently through the same aperture with his
delicious booty. Although be succeeded by
a bad act in taking the beer, night before
last, unless he is very careful-the pun is not
our own, but was suggested by a waggish
friend-his bad acts will yet bring the bier to

STABBING AFFRAY AT THE WHARP-A MAN
SERIOUSLY WOUNDED IN FIeHr.-One of these
unfortunate and sanguinary fights, which, in
large cities, and in ours particularly, are much
too common, took place evening before last on
the wharf. The circumstances are as follows:
John Hays accused man named Christian f..
Hoke-both of whom were deck-hands on a
steamer now lying at the whsrf-with having
stolen some whisky that belonged to him. Hoke
denied 1t and a quarrel ensued, during which
he was driven from the boat and afterward
stabbed in the loft side. The wound was
dressed by physicisn who happened to be in
the nsighborhood, and said that, although it
would be quite painful for a long time, It would
not be likely to prove fatal. Hays was ar
rested by officers Riggs and Anderson, and
committed to the Hammond-strest Station
house, to which place the wounded man was
also taken and cared for to such an extent as
to be made quite comfortable. ..p

two hours and a half, not single circum-
stance was developed which was worthy of a

HARMONIOUS.
THE pouGLAs PoRAy IN OHIO.

THE DOUGLAS PoRAY IN OHIO.
1t is the general belief in the political
circles of the metropolis that, if anything
can endanger the cause of the Democracy
in Ohio, it will be the visit of Mr.. Doug
las. That rch-mischief-maker has been
potent there for evil, not for good, to the
cause of the national democracy.
THE SPEECHES OF SENATOR DOUGLAS.
The general love of literary merit, and
Difference to individual genius, have often
led men to yield to the orator of the hour
not only their admiration, but their convic-
tons But it is almost unanimously con-
ccded that while, in point or oratory; Mr..
Douglas is equalled, if not excelled, by many
who had preceded him in the peculiar re-
quisites of stump speaking, his contribution
to Harper's Magazine, and his popular
harapgues have sunk him to the very low
point as a constitutional lagyer and as a
popular reasoner.
