both Tom and the money were gone, and In

F;ghfing.-Joseph Foster and Walter Tate,
two young men lately arrived in the city, " ere
before the Mayor yesterday, to answer the
charge of engaging in fight at the "BlWe
Bonnet" bar-room, on Sunday afternoon last.
Officer Seal, hearing of the row, went to the

and sent officer Blankenship after him. As
both were to blame, the Mayor held them to
bail in the sum of 500 each.
Started Early.-Yesterday morning as officer
Kelly was on his way to the Mayors Court,
he came up with Michael Chandler near 9th
and Broad, and finding aim fllsd brimfui OF
fiery liquids, took him in tow and landed him
in the presence of his Honor Mike finding
himself stranded, and without the hope OF
rescue, gave vent to such yolleys Of oaths and

the fumes of his late debauch have passed
away, and his reason is restored.

wished to use him for their own purposes
Had he acknowledged his error in the first
place, he might have escaped punishment.

with assaulting with a hatchet with intent to
kill his wife, Mary A. Cooper, on the l1th of
June last, was examined before the Hustings
Court yes terday, and sent on for trial for fel

their house and lot.
"TAe Dra,c" to the nth street bridge over
the Dock, Will prove great convenience to
the shipping when completed, inasmuch as it
will enable the lumber and plaster vessels to
unload in the west section, and thus prevent
the blocking up of the margin of the east
nntfr Of h. 1irnI II SAnt
ter@craft, we presume. will be req uired TO land
at their old place near the bridge, and other
vessels will then have ample berths for load
ing and unloading.

James S. Vanhorn, charged with feloniously
stahbing James r. Grafton, watchman, on
the I'd of June last, was commenced before a

lin, who died on Sunday last of the wounds
received in an atfray on the 26th OF May, eX-
hibited no facts other than those We gave
when the parties charged with his murder

The Eastern Sqnarr ifit is ever improved and
enclosed will be one of the most popular re.
sorts i'm the city. The view from these
grounds, on clear afternoon, is surprisingly
beautiful, and there is always a breeze from
the river, however hot and sultry the weather

| then be planted, SO that when the city was
ready to lay off the walkways, there would
| be shade for visitors to enjoy.
