LigAt Weights-Ballard Kersey. an attend
ant at the Second Market, was before the
Mayor yesterday morning to answer the
charge Of selling Jorty-t~o pounds of meal
for one bushel, for which he received $16.-
Kersey sold the meal by measure-which is
q violation of law-and at first refused to
make up the missing eight pounds; but On
finding that he was shout to get into trouble
paid it over The Mayor reprimanded him
for selling by measure instead of weight,
and after assuring him that second viola.
lation would cost him heavily, discharged
him.
The clerks of the markets, as well as the
consumers, should see that all sales in the
market places are made in conformity with
the city ordinances; and It would not be
amiss for the sealer Of weights and measures
to have an eye to what is going on. In ordi.
nary times q pound of meal, or an ounce OF
butter or meat, would make but little differ.
ence to the purchaser; but at the present
prices the buyer can afford to lose nothing,
and the seller should be compelled to de-
liver all that he agrees to sell. With light
weights and cone-shaped measures the mass-
ca may be made to lose heavily every day.

Stealing a Watch.-Yesterday morning a
young man, who gave his name as Henry c.
Clark, was before the Mayor, charged with
stealing gold watch from Theodore Hol-
Inns, on the 2Sth of October. Clark was ar
rested in Petersburg, by officer Donnau, of
that city, and admitted that he sold the
watch claimed by H0llins to Mark Davis, for
5000; but said he purchased it of an officer
at the Petersburg depot, and could prove the
fact. Hollins testified that he had been to q
ball, and, after drinking freely, q young man
resembling the prisoner offered to see him
to his room. That young man accompanied
him to the American Hotel, and left him on
the steps. The next morning when he
awoke his watch and about $500 had been
taken from him. The watch and chain were
his, and could be identified by others. The
prisoner expects to prove that he was in Pc
tersburg, where he has been stationed for six
weeks, at the time of the robbery, and that
he came honestly by the property. The
Mayor remanded him to called Court, to
be held at the City Hall on Monday next.

The svideace. slicited proved thaa psivntc
Charles Johnoon, with another pfivate and
SergeaDt of tie battalion, went 10 CeetIe
Thunder to deliver over some prjsonen In
their charge. When about to leave the prison
Newsom, who was then on post, ordered
Johnson cG, suppoeing him to be making
signs 20 the prisoners. johnson made no
reply to him, bat passed on to the Libby
prison, where his squad WAS ON duty. Some
half hour after, this Newsom was relieved
from duty and started to his barnkka A
he was passing tho Libby Johnson saw him,
and asked him why he ordered him away
from Castle Thunder. Newsom replied that
he was obcylng orlers. johnson said he was
doing nothing to deserve such treatment
NewSom said, "You were talking to the pris-
ones:;" This J. denied. Nswspm then said
Johpson said, "You did not treat me like q
inusket can whip you." With this New
some stepped back and partially raised his
gun, seeing which johnson walked off,
Grepp seeing the crowd approached It, and
on Ue1OR COkO t03I N6WDUm 00Q GQCk6O MS
gun at johnson, reconstructed with him for
so doing. After some words between these
parties, Grepp became excited, pulled off his
accoutremcnfs, and advancing upon New
som gave him blow In the face. Newsom
instantly eprang back, raised his muaket and
Aeed TIA kN sstsikhg GroQp n the bssae4,
tearing up the Aesh, thsn aglancing struck
private Frey on one Of his arms, Featuring
the bones, and, continuing its course, lodged
in the abdomen Of private Richard Morris,
who was q mere spectator, causing his death
within few hours thereafter.
Maj. Alexander, the cOmmAndant of Castle
Thunder, stated that Newe0m was on post
performing his duty when he ordered private
johnson out Of his beat. The orders to the
sentinels were imperative, and strictness was
absolutely necessary, to prevent persons
from talking with or making signs to the pris
Oners. He also stated that NeWsom was on his
way to his barracks when he was stopped by
johnson and questioned % to his conduct
when on post. Maj. A. did not see the shoot
ing, but thought there were Others aboutthe
Castle that did. The Mayor therefore ad-
journed the investigation till this morning,
and requested Maj. Alexander to continue
the custodian Of the accused for the present,
which he readily consented to do.
Newsom, we understand, has been tried by
Court Martial, and since then has been turn
ed over to the civil authorities by Gen. Win
der for further trial.

ITALIAN OPERA.-Itis an ugly inference
which is sometimes drawn from the name of
the italian opera and. the Greek drama, as if
the scenic and musical entertainments, which
masculine nations, like the English and the
Romans, have named plays, were with Greeks
and Italians part Of the serious business of
life. Most likely the difference arises after all
from masculine selfshness, overlooking and
forgetting the labor which the artist bestows
upon what he therefore calls his ,rork-the
amusement of an idle hour for spectator or
,hearers. However that may be, large and
fashionable audience welcomed NJ. Grau's
company at the new City Hall last evening,
and the music Of Verdi and Donnizetti affords
something more than mere amusement This
evening viii be produced the comic opera,
Don Pdsquaie, and the last act OF Lucia di
Ldnunermoor.
