The MAYOR sOFFIcE.--The morning hours
at the Mayors Office are now full of business,
Of divers kinds, and relating to all manner
Of subjects.
This morning the cases were both MINER
Gus and various, embracing large number
of applications for ordinary, eating-houses;
concert-rooms and mercantile licenses, which
were granted, and paid for in specie.
James Cole, jailor, also appeared, and sta
ted that he had under his keeping in the
county Jail number of slaves. Ordinarily
the Jail expenses of such negroes had been
charged to their owners, but, some time since,
the Provost Court, Judge Freese, declared
those slaves to be contraband," and direct
ed that they should be placed at the service
of the U. S. Commissary Department. He
had complied with that order, and the ne
groes had been employed, some days all, and
at other times only a few, to unload hay, &C.,
in the service of the United States. He 1.-THE
jaior) had been supplied with rations for
them, bus he was not compensated for cook
ing the rations or attending to them, and he
was not willing now to spend his own money
to buy coal or wood. Judge Freese had dl-
rected that he should not charge the board of
the negroes to the owners. The negroes
themselves had been very sulky of late, and
said they did not want to work any longer
for nothing.
MIR. Cole asked for some instructions on
the subject, and WAS informed that the mat.
ter would be inquired into He was advised
meanwhile TO keep an account of the number
of days each of these negroes were employ
ed by the u S. government, with q view o
final settlement. sr,,
The new Superintendent of Gas, Thomas
Dryer, gave bond, and entered upon the dis
charge of the duties Of the Office.
Snow AND ICE.--Laet evening we bad d
fall of snow, lasting several hours, and coat
ing the earth with it's white vesture. This
morning lit had nipping and piercing
air." and che ponds in the neighborhood Of
town, as well as the shadows of Hunting
Creek, were covered with ice.

ALEXANDRIA. VA.

POLICE CAsEs.-Upon the resumption of
the police jurisdiction of the Mayor. the same
old cases, which have made up the police
docket for years, came up again. They have
had small turn at the martial law of the
Provost Court, but it does not seem to hurt
them, and they turn up again in the Mayors
Office fresh as ever.
Among them is Jimmy Burke, an excel
lent man when he will let liquor alone. The
police guard arrested him for drunkenness
yesterday evening, and special officer Edelin,
nut him in the watch-house, whence he was
discharged last night. Jimmy has fine turn
for the " barney" and the way years ago
he " blarneyed" the Mayor, is given as one
of the racy things of local police. The BLAIR
ney story is told in this wise
Jimmy was brought before Mr.. Wise for
being drunk The evidence was conclusive.
The Mayor-Well, Jimmy, this is the
eighth time you have been here.
Jimmy-Sure, yer honor, and it's me that's
sorry for the same.
The Mayor-Didn't you promise the last
time that you'd never drink drop rs long
as you lived?
Jimmy--Sure, yer honor, but the crather
is SO enticing
The Mayor-Well, Jimmy, must put you
on the streets We want hands, and that's
the only way to cure you.
Jimmy-God's blessing on yer honor, we're
the dacenest gintlemon ever looked at yer
wouldn't be afther doing the likes of that to
me that's wife and childer at home
The Mayor--Well, that's all can do
Your wife has complained to me several times
about you. You must have the law now.
Jimmy-Indade it's yer honor that knows
the law, nice, kind hearted man that ye
are. know yer honor will have pity on a
well-maining man, that wants to git away
from tenn ptation.
The Mayor-How are you going to get
away from temptation? tf
Jimmy-Sure, yer honor, whenever ! see
a nee, fine looking gintlemon like you,
know he won't be hard on poor crather.-
Now. yer honor, here's pass to the Extin
sion (Lynchburg Extension). and sure yel
won't refuse poor laborin' man chance te
do betther!
The Mayor overcome Well, Jimmy, il
you promise me TO go right to the Extension
you can 60. ss "%'
Jimmy-Upon me heart, promise the
same.
The Mayor-You can go.
Jimmy-God bless yer honor.
And SO Jimmy got off that day, and doubt
less did many good days work On the Elk
tension.

Several police cases also claimed attention.
One party, for insulting guard and melting
disturbance, was fined, and compelled to
give bond to keep the peace. Another par
ty, charged with maltreating his wife, was
dismissed with reprimand. A soldier also
appeared, claiming that he had been swim
died by watch seller, and asking interposi-
ton. He was informed that his case would
be attended to.
1t is stated that the post Office at Leonard
town, Maryland, on the lower Potomac, was
visited by detective on Saturday, who bag
ged half bushel of letters to and from
Richmond.
At New Orleans some uneasiness had been
created among merchants in consequence Of
the reply of Earl Russell to committee Of
merchants in Liverpool, in which he gave no
countenance to the idea that the blockade
would not be for the present respected.
A correspondent of the New York Times,
writing from Washington, expresses the
opinion that the season for any important
movement on the south Of the Potomac has
passed.

Prince NapOlcon and the Old SOLDIER.

Last evening there occurred one OF those
rare incidents in the progress OF Prince Ma
uoleon's tour through the United States,
which will not soon be forgotten hy our IL
lus,rious visitor albeit tender recollectlons
thereof may not be Of long duration with
one of the parties interested, whose gray
hairs will ere long be moistened blythe clam
nv dews Of death.
I.orenz IIar;e, a relic OF the Grand Army
of the First Napoleon, now an inmate Of the
Cook county poor-house, had an interview
with Prince Napoleon. County Agent
Hanson, Learning the wish Of the old soldier,
kindly conveyed him to the fremont. HIS
card was sent to the Princes apartments, anu
the old man. bowed down with the weight
oi eighty wears. was ushered into the august
presence.
The Prince arose 10 receive his remarkable
quest. There they s'o,d for moment look
ing each other in the facr-the second heir
to ,Lt. French crown and the SCARED and
bronze,. veteran of score of battles. Ad-
val.crs, the Prince gra>ped the old man
hand. and couG ted him to a seat, and
spoke So kindly that the veterans heart
o,crtiowt,. and he barst into tears.
IT, those at all acquainted with the history
# the Napoleonic dynasty, neither the kind
rc,s Of the Prince nor the emotion OF the
I'd man will be wondered at. All such wei.
know how the first Napoleon held upon the
affections of his soldiers, as well as the Wild
and uncomfortable dolatry manifested by
the latter toward the former, upon all occa-
SONS. whether IN victory or defeat.
In that interview, yesterday, the veteran

% One OF the new Forts recently erected
at Chain Bridge by the End and Sd Vermont
Regiments, is named Fort Ethan Allen
The correspondent of the Boston Journal
describes it as follows.
! One of the defences at Chain Bridge not
vet complete, is christened Fort Ethan Allen.
1t stands in commanding position. Its
guns will sweep every point of the horizon
for many miles. 1t is very irregular in form,
with re-entering angles, and enfladins par
apets, and encloses large piece of ground.
Its construction is of such a character that
an attacking force would find it difficult to
lodge shell within the enclosure. 1t is
erected after the plan Of Capt Alexander,
who seems to be always on mis- horse, super
intending the thousand men throwing up
the embankment, mounting guns, construct
ing ubutti, building roads, digging wells. and
cutting down FORESTS. One thing will come
out of this war Virginia will find some eX-
cellently constructed roads when 1t Is over.--
There is road leading from the Potomac
up wild, tortuous rocky ravlne, crossing
the roaring stream that dasheS beneath and
penetrating the forest of oaks and pines,
constructed by the army to get up to Fort
Ethan. 1t will connect with the road lead
ing to Falls Church. Yesterday as passed
through the thousands of soldiers hard at
work, with their arms stacked at hand, |
thought of the old Roman army and its won
derful military roads. yet visible a thousand
miles from Rome, after a lapse Of eighteen
hundred wears. The road winding up the
high bank of the Potomac may not be as
deliberately constructed as the Appian or
Homerian way, but the work which the sold
iers are doing in political and moral point
of view will remain when more natural
things have crumbled to dust. Their work
is for al time.
