THE CITY.

MAYoR's CouRr.-Mayor Mayo looked into the fol-
low ing cases this morning with variable results. The
negroes, as usual, have commenced the week bright
and early with variety Of petty offences; but, as
.the early bird catches the early worm,p his Honor
has illustrated the appositeness of this good old adj
age by awarding to such black wolves as have viola
ted city and State ordinances warning that can
not be otherwise than gratifying to the recipients in
view of the extreme cold Of the weather.
Joseph Basnett, (. IN. c., was charged with as
saulting-aud beating Susan Larman, awhile person,
with a stick Case continued to the I'd.
Garter, slave OF Frank Stearns, was charged with
stealing box of tobacco of the value of 5000, the
property Of David NJ Lee * y. j. Christian. Case
continued to LIST.
Sam A. Carlisle, charged with stealing paper of
bralls the property OF Henry Hartman, was sent to
the Provost Marshal.
Alex. Drake was up for assauIting and beating
Cornelius BransS,rd, son of Chas Bransford Held
in security of three hundred dollars to keep the
peace.
ColeI q Harris f. m. c., was mp for being in the
city wthflenrco county papers, aud having three
slaves in hil house. Ordered q lashes, accompan-
led with an Injunction to leave the city The three
negroes referred 10 as Ndtl ihio
of Ham, were also accorded % ashes each.
An mcongruous collection OF sooty offenders was
brought before his Honor charged generally with
having no pass, being out of the track, and gong
at large. LasheS, to the number of i've and ten,
were decreed punishment in these cases, and the
delinquents went forth from the precincts Of the
court in melancholy procession, aud attached by
wrists to long rope, to meet their doom.
THEATRlCAL.-The characterization OF eli Trova-
tore, (" and the comedy Unlimited Confidence
which is original in this respect that it has never be-
fore been presented before a Richmond audience
were given at the Theatre Saturday night.
Whilst "Unlmited Confidence" provoked laugh
ter in quarters not very refined, it was not appre-
ciated by the better class of the audience As the
plot is not marked by much interest the equivoques
INDUCED in in the text ought to be done away with.
We would suggest to the management that the play
be Withdrawn entirely.
