Ink RHODE ISLAND MARINE ARTILLERY AR
RIvEs The most complete turnout Of the kind
yet, In the military line, was presented Yesterday
afternoon, In the march through Pennsylvania
avenue ~ the we'll appointed Rhode Island Ma
rlne Artillery, which arrived here via Petryville
per steamer Kill Von- kull, Of the New York trans
Portation line. The steamer arrived off the Ar
senal late Yesterday morning, where she came to,
and Immediately the artillery corps begun to dis
embark. The olsen barkation Of thu troops,
horses, baggage and guns occupied some time.
and IL was not until late IN the afternoon that ia
corps were In readi ness to make their appearance
In the city. They marched throu9 Pennsylvania
avenue to the Executive Mansion, and passed In
review before the President, who was delig hted
with them, and complimented Gov. Sprague
highly on the patriotism of his noble little State.
The review over the artillery returned through
the avenue, and proceeded Seventh street TO the
rear OF the Patent Odce, where the battery was
stationed along Eighth street, between q and III 4.
The corps has one hundred and fifty men and
ninety horses. Their battery consists of six of
James rifed cannon, six cassons, one large bat
terry ambulance, and a portable forge. Five large
baggage and provender wagons heavily loaded
followed the train. They bring with them stores,
provisions, and horse feed sufficient for a three
months campaign. They were commanded on
their way hither by 1t Gov. Arnold, Of Rhode
Island. Their officers are as follows Capt c.
H. Tompkins, Lients Reynolds, Remington,
lowell ard Breslow, Surgeon Miller, Veterinary
Surgeon Chas. Scratton, Guidon, Jos Watson.

the regiment In the Patent Office building.
ANovEL CAsE.-Yesterday, Mr. }. p. Crutchett
was arrested by Allen and Wise, detective Of
fcers, TO be taken to Boston. 1t appears that two
gentlemen, one In Newburyport, the other In
Boston; had become securities for the appearance
OF Mr.. Crutchett before Massachusetts Court to
answer in plea Of deot at given time. At the
time of trial Mr. Crutchett failed to appear and
the judgment was rendered against him In de-
fault His bondsmen, to relieve themselves de.
termined to produce him: and 80 went to the
court and obtaining bail piece, dispatched an
attorney to secure his arrest, which was affected
by Allen Co. Col M. Thompson, as counsel
for Mr. Crutchett, advised non-subn ission to the
attorney. But the attorney went to the Chief
Justice OF the Circuit Court, (Dunlop,) from
whom he learned that the prisoner is supposed
to be always in custody Of his bondsman, and he
required no precept from the court here. The
result was that Mr.. Cfrtchett was taken to the
central gnardhouse for keeping until arrange
ments can be made for his departure for the
North. Such cases are Of unfrequent occurrence
in this District.

House, and was performed by Rev Mr Wood
bury, chaplain Of the regiment. Miss b called
