srABBINa AFFAIR ON A STRAMBoAT.-A man
named Henry Rodeman was arrested yesterday,
and lodged in the Hammond street Station
house, upon charge of stabbing with intent to
kill. Itappears that somo gamblers, who were
coming to the city on board the steamboat
j. W. Hailman, had been "fleecing" the pas
sengers to considerable extent, and Rodeman,
who was aware of the game they had been
playing incurred their hatred by making
known their manner of procedure. They
followed him about the boat for some time,
threatening him in various ways, and at last
struck him. whom he drew knife and cut one
Of them, making painful but not dangerous
flesh wound in the breast. When the Hailman
arrived at tho wharf he was arrested. as we
have said, and will be held to answer the
charge, this morning, before Judge Pruden.

AN EXCITING scENB.-Day before yesterday
afternoon horse, attached to buggy, came
down George street at gait that would astonish
the admirers of the turf; and in the buggy was
gentleman, who astonished the beholders by
the tenacity with which he olung to the reins.
In other words, it was fearful runaway, and
the apprehension and distress of the beholders
we're painfully depicted upon their coun ntenanoes.
AT tho corner Of George and Mound streets the
horse and vehicle were brought to a sudden
stand--or rather an abrupt termination of their
erratic, brilliant and rapid career-by a COL
lision with tree-box, which resulted in wreck
of the "vehiculary institutions damaged and
bruised horse, and a driver slightly MANNED,
but dreadfully frightened. The occupant of
the buggy was properly cared for, and the
prospects are aattering for his speedy recovery.

IHE Unitarian congregation in this city will
in all likelihood, bo divided into two religious
organizations before many weeks elapse. II
is well known that for long time past the
pew-holdcrs and renters have been divided in
opinion as to their pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Con-
way-one party being decidedly in favor of re-
tanning the Reverend gentleman's services.
while the other party as strenuously protested
against the opinions he taught, and hence de-
sired his removal. Last night, we are glad to
have to record, owing to the judicious conduct
OF Judge Hoadley and some other gentlemen.
the further unseemly chickering's of friends, IL is
hoped, have been brought to u close. That
gentleman introduced Emotion of compro-
mise" He moved that q committee of four
two from each of the sections into which tho
congregation is divided-should be appointed.
whose duty should be to devise a plan for the
peaceable and equitable division of the property
OF the church, and to report the same to the
Annual Meeting of Trustees, on Monday next
This motion, though resisted by some, was
carried, nevertheless, by a respectable major
lty; after which the meeting adjourned. "Blest
are the Sons of Peace" The committee con-
sistS of Messrs. Greene and Goodman on one
side, and Messrs. Carlisle and Peters on the
other.

CITY PROPERTY AND IMpRovEMENTs.-There
is evidently mania and furor attending the
buying and selling of property here in the city.
We heard of certain piece of property which
has, in the space of six months, changed
hands five times. Each time it has advanced,
and the money paid was nearly at rate of six
per cent, making nearly sixty per cent. to the
original holder, had he been wise enough to
hold it.
The improvements of the western part of
the city are rapidly going on. At the corner
OF Western row and Richmond a resident of
New Orleans oontemplatss erecting four beau
tiful stone front stores, fronting on Western
row, and his agent, Mr.. Taylor, of the firm of
Taylor d Brothers, is prosecuting the work
with great activity. The West End, particu-
larly Western row, bids fair to rival any of
our most business thoroughfares of the East
End. n

HEAVY ROBBERY IN Brown CoUNTY.-The
house of a man named Martin Owens, Treas
urer of Perry Township, in Brown County, in
this State, was entered on Friday night last by
some persons, who, by boring hole in the
door, removed the bolt, and carried away $e4O
in money, $500 of which belonged to the Treas
urer, and the balance to the county, besides 8
considerable quantity of wearing apparel. A
reward Of $lOO has been offered for the perpe
traitors of the robbery, and we sincerely hope
they may be brought speedily to justice.

ARRESTED on CHARGE OF HoRsE-STEALING.
A man named Barney Agile was arrested yes
terday upon charge of having stolen horse,
and locked up in the Hammond-street Station
house. Although the horse, which looks as if
it were one hundred years old, and is not worth
stealing, was found in his possession, he
afirms he did not steal, but purchased it from
some boys for 81. 1t is thought that his story
is correct, and that the charge is unfounded.
The horse belongs to man who resides some
place in Deer Creek valley, and appears to
have been taken by boys; but we presume the
facts will bo developed in the Police Court this
morning.
