The H0rSe-Stsattag CdSe.--Charles c. Thomas
d}fas Alvis, the young man arrested for steal,
ing horse from Mr.. Green, of Westmoreiand
county, and Burning his stable, was arraigned
before the Mayor yesterday. Mr.. Green hay-
ing left the city, the Mayor heard the ties timony
of Mr.. K. IL. Cook, auctioneer, who stated thai
on Saturday last the accused brought a horse
to him at the auction lot, requesting him to
sell it. He did so-A. Barrata becoming the
purchaser, and paying $50, which sum was
handed over TO the accused, who signed the
name of @. g. Thomas to the receipt. Ou Mon
day two gentlemen from Westmoreland called
al his store, asked him If he had sold such "a
horse, giving minute description of the horse
and the man. Witness replied that he had;
went with the gentlemen 10 Barrata aud saw
the horse, which ans wered exactly 10 the de-
scription given. On Wednesday afternoon he
saw the accused in his store, and at once ar
rested him. Being questioned by a gentleman
present about the money, the prisoner stated
that he had spent a portion of it, lie had then
funded the whole so to Mr.. Barraia.
Officer Seal stated to the Mayor that he
asked the prisoner at the watch house why
he burnt the stable, and the reply was that he
did not; that it was set fire by one of Mr.
Green's negroes, and that he witnessed the
act.
The prisoner is not more than TWEEN ty- four
years OF age. He manfests no uneasiness but
on the contrary, freely acknowledges the theft
of the horse. HIS parents, We learn reside ia
Hanover, and his real name is AlviS. Whe her
he is more knaye than fool we cannot say
with certainty, although his conduct seems 10
enlite him to the latter distinction.
The case was con .inued to the lSth inst.

APPEAL OF AN AMERICAN CHURCH TO Eng
LIsH ADoLITIoNIsTs.-Some time last summer
a paragraph was copied from some of the
English newspapers, stating that a Miss
Johustone had made her appearance in Eag-
land for the purpose of collecting money to
sus tain Dr. Cheeyer's church in the city of
New York As q general thing the statement
was entirely dscredited = The New York
Times, however says:
We republish from the British Standard
letter from DIR. Cheever himself TO Mr.. Spur
geon, which leave no room for further doubt.
In this letter DIR. Cheeyer represents his
church as missionary establishment for the
dissemination Of abolitionism among the New
York heather, and as in danger OF being i'm
mediately crushed and destroyed without Pc
cuniary aid. lie speaks of himself as apos-
tie of the only true faith-as s'preachng just
such sermons as are especially needed here at
the present moment"--and as the only clergy
man who "freeiy, fully and persiS tently'' pro-
claims the Word of God on this subject in
New York.
He considers it almost miracle that ''tho-
rough abolition orthodox church such as mine
is" should have been sustained here SO long,
especially considering the terrible conflict
winch he has been compelled to maintain with
"preiudice, fashion, wealth, power, anger,
wrath and malice; but is quite satisfied that
this miracle be continued no longer with
out more money. And as the more wealthy por-
ton of his own congregation have left him, and
he can get no further aSsls tance at home he
authorizes the appeal of Miss .Johnstone TO the
abolitonists of England for help.
What pecuniary response this appeal OF
mendicant Pharisaism may receive in the
quarter TO which it is addressed. remains to
be seen.
