CITY INTELLIGENCE.

IMPORTANT ARREsrs.-0n Thursday last between
twelve and one o'clock. Squire Welch discovered
some of the boys of st. Patrick's schools playing
in the streets. As those boys not discharging
pistols burning tar barrels and dry goods boxes,
or engaged in any similar and equally innocent and
becoming Juvenile recreation, but were bold and
lawless enough each to have provided himself with
a sawed lath, wherewith they were playing handy,
or some other equally dangerous and forbidden
game, the worthy Justice caused two of them to be
brought before him, and, having extorted from
these young offenders the names of some twenty
others, had the whole of them arrested IN the
school rooms and taken to the Eastern station
house, and then and there fined them each and sew
orally the sum of one dollar and eightyseven cents
The parents of some of these boys had to borrow
money to pay the fines imposed them, and others,
whose protectors had no means of raising the
amount had to stay in the station house all night
This rigorous, impartial, and doubt strictly
scencious discharge of official duty, will convince
the town that whatever difficulty there may be in
tae way of Furnishing murder, riot, assault, and
other fashionable fobles of adult citizens, little
Irish boys, between eight and twelve years of age,
will not be permitted to flourish their laths in the
streets with impunity so long Justice Welch can
fill a commitment and impose a fine.
SwNDLING.-Ye Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock
well-dressed, middle-aged man, entered the Jew
elry store of the Messrs. Garfield 4 Co., and re-
quested to be shown watches. After examin-
ing the assortment, he selected two London made
levers, and two costly fob chains, the whole valued
a
gave the name of c. p. Gable, and requested that
the articles should be sent to MS No. 81 Ma
tional Hotel, where he informed the clerk that he
would produce the cash. The watches, &C., with
a receited bill given to an employee of the
tablishment, who was directed to take them to Mr.
Gables room, being cautioned, however, not to de-
liver them without first getting value received
The messenger proceed directly to the hotel, and
was shown to room No 81, where Gable was wait
ing to receive him. He then proffered in payment
a check on the Mechanics Bank for the sum of 1855,
which was taken by the porter in payment of the
bill and the articles delivered. As soon as the mes
senger returned to the store with the check it was
pronounced spurious, and the clerk who had sold
the watches Immediately started for the hotel for
the purpose of having Gable arrested; when he ar
| rived there, however, that person could not be
found, having suddenly left with his booty.
| The check was pronounced valueless at the bank,
no person named C. p. Gable having account at
that institution. The police were apprised of
the proceedings, and Immediately set to work to
arrest the swindler. As yet we have not heard of
his apprehension.
