FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 16, 1861.

among our Creole and French population, it being
the feast Of the Holy Virgin Mary, and the ami
Versary of the birth Of Napoleon the Third. The
different Catholic churches were largely attended
by ladies who claimed the beautiful name Of the
Mother Of our Saviour, and the loyal French Cee-
brated their Emperor's birth day in their best
style. The I9uayes Of Africa and the Crimea, who
at present in this city, had heir residence No.
l2S CbartTes street, eplcnddly decorated with the
flags Of France, the Confederate States aud Il0uis
ana during the day. and at night had grand re-
cepti0n Of their friends, which was largely at
tended. We much regret being unable, through
press of business to be present, being well aware
that We lost very pleasant evening. They hare
| cur best thanks for their polite attentions.
CoREECTIoS.A day or two since, in our report
Of cases brought before Recorder Gastntl, an
error was made in stating that Joseph LouiiIa was
arrested for stealing sack Of potatoes from
! stall in the Vegetable iafkct, raian era guotlld
| have said Joseph Lama. We make this correc-
ton, because otherwise it might remain on record
that an estimable resident Of the Ihird Dislsict,
the only Joseph Lotila in the city, had been
| charged with an,inlarQous crime, which every one
who is acquainted Win him knows him 10 be in
capable Of
Lost CnILD.--A little girl, about years of age,
was brought to the Second District police Office
! yesterday, having been found wandering about the
| streets, unable to fiud her way home. She could
not tell the name Of her parents or the street upon
which she resided, and could only remember that
her own name vas Mary and that Ter mother was

much grievcd and frightened
| INQUEST or THE B0DY OF HoUGuTOH.-The Core
| ner yesterday commenced his inquest on the body
| Of J. 3. H0ughton, who was killed by johnson on
| Wednesday night. The post molteIn examination,
| which made by DR.. Scratchley. showed that
the pistol bail had entered on the lglt side of the
| abdomen, three inches below the ribs, and passing
| downward through the intestnes had cut the right
| as3 artery, about an inch and half from the
| bifurcation, and thereby hemmorrhage and almost
| immediate death. The pistol had evidently been
held very close to H0ughton's body, as the shirt
and uuderGlOthes we're burnt. Coroner Beach ad-
journed the inquest to Saturday afternoon, when it
| is expected that all the facts Of the killing will
appear.
! CIGAR SHOP BEoKEN OPEN.--The cigar store Of
| MessrS. Prats q Co., at the corner of Commercial

SHOULD HAVE LEI HIM RIp.-Nicholas Weigel,

| conclusion yesterday While sober, for wonder,
that the best thing he could DO was to put an end
TO his miserable existence, in which conclusion we
are free to say that agree with him. Mrs. Wei
gel, however, differed with him. Perhaps she had
grown to be fond Of his idiosyncra cies be that as
it may, one thing is sure, she had him arrested by

| sure that there is no danger Of her being made a
| widow.
