SINGLE ELEVEN.

LATEST BY CHICKEN ExPREss.-The town is in
ferment about the great fist fight, supposed to
have taken place before this in England. Said T. ID.
in crowd, yesterday, Wish to heaven carrier
pigeons had been taken to England, to bring us
the news ahead of the steamer!n Shortly after
that, breathless Niger brought to 7. D. a
fatigued-looking rooster around whose neck was
tied a little bit Of paper with a red ribbon con
tents of paper as follows:
LONDON, April l3 1860.
Heen whip Srs. 5 rounds, time II min. Heen.
without scratch. Disturbance with crowd. Nor

A NIGGER's PIcAYuNE IS AS COOP AS WHITE
MAN's.-Ths notion, it seems likely, will never be
eradicated from some mems brains, and especially
the brains of the amiable Dagoes who keep small
groceries and cabarets in those neighborhoods
where the sons of Ham most do congregate. Ra-
mon Martinez, who is on the high way to wealth
at the corner of Lafayette and Front Levee Streets
is booked for a hearing before Recorder Summers,
on two charges of dispensing drinks of tangle
foot and "hust-headn u whisky to slaves without
| their masters consent.
No FAULT OF THE MULEs.-One of yesterdays
evening papers called it 'sharp mule transac-
tion,n and another called it dishonest mule
transaction" We find nothing on the record to
show that the mule was either sharp or dishonest,
or guilty of any other fault dscreditabe to the
great mule family, SO long renowned for their an
tipodean qualities of stupidity and honesty. The
mule in question was genuine as any, for he was
an animal between horse and an ass. The horse
was his owner-an Irish horse named Pat. Gala
han; the ass was Frank Truxlo, who wanted to
be the owner and expecting SO to be, handed the
horse 5000, expecting also to receive, beside The
mule, $50 in change, but was asinine enough to
allow the horse to tret off with both mule and
spondulix,n without SO much as asking him to
take a drink, or bidding him good day. The mis-
| understanding about the mule and the money will
| be looked into by Recorder Summers on the 25th
| instant.
| Nor A SLY Fox.-Jchn Fox was mad enough
| to hammer f. Gustave Hagman over the head with
| stick, but not sharp enough afterward to keep
clear of the steeltraps Of the law. Recorder Sum-
mers looked at him through his spectaces yester-
day, and sent him before the First District Court.
| BUHGLERs PUNIsHED.-James Darby was yester
day sent to the Work-house by Recorder Summers
4 and John M. Post lkewise--one for six and tht
other for three months. Their offense consisted il
their failure to rob John Cassidy, after knocking
i him down with that intent. Charles McCue wa
arrested as third party, but failing to prove tina
he had anything to do with the ehivalrous attemp
or the ignominious bungle, he was set at libert,
and compelled to travel, in whatever direction
suited him best. He did not stop to enter pro
test against this summary decision of Recorde
Summers.
II SKULL CRAcRING.-Ths favorite Irish amusemen
appears to be as popular as ever among "ys
merry Emeralders.n Dan Dorsey is at Charity
Hospital, as the latest of the elect; John Hannah

SHOOTING AFFAIR.-Gonstant Deisler who keep
literary depot on Baronne street near Poydras
was arrested last evening on the charge Of havin
emptied several barrels of his revolver at the ca
driver John Mccormack. The bullets were luekil
harmless. We did not learn what the provocatie
was.
He WAS ONLY WHISKY CRAzY.-The insane ma

the country around Michoud's plantation, belo
the city, by stopping the people from passing aol
/. the road and shooting at those who disoheyed
order to turn back, and who was finally capture
