ATTEMPT TO ExroRr.-From a not very plainly
defined statement, made to us on Saturday by
officers engaged in the arrest of the parties to be
hereafter mentioned, we CLEAN the following in
formation of an attempt to extort money fol-
lows, viz: 1t seems that, on Saturday last, two
men, employed for the job by United States De-
tective Haynes, went into the store of W. E. Fir
man, of Portsmouth, and then and there sold to
the store boy a small lot of brass and iron of a
mere nominal value. Immediately after, the de-
tective appeared, accusing Mr.. FHman of buying
(illegally) United States property, threatening
to prosecute in his official capacity. The matter
was referred to Simon Stone, ESQ.,, who Git is
sadly dilated considerably on the penalty attend
ing such offences (of which the man had not been
knowingly guilty., and his remarks had the
effect of bringing about compromise, Firman
agreeing to pay $3.50, which was received, one
Everett, an accomplice, receipting for the
amount. 1t being represented to Mayor Collins
as stated above, His Honor, in conjunction with
Mayor Tabb of this city, caused the arrest of all
the parties criminal, imprisoning them.
On Senday morning the military authorities re-
quested the person of Everett, and he was &C
cordingly turned over. Haynes, it is said was sent
to the ''hard labor prison." to await requisiton
from Mayor Collins to answer the charge of ex-
tortion, or obtaining money under false pretences.
The case will probably come up this morning,
and the result will be given in to-morrow's issue.
Officer Matthews, Of Portsmouth, and officer
Wyatt, of this city, made the arrests.

WILD DUoKs.-P arties from the coast who
have been engaged many years in the ducking
business, inform that the various kinds Of
ducks and geese that usually resort to our coast,
in the fall and winter season, are more numerous
this season than ever known before.
Very few have been killed thus far, because the
weather has been too warm for transportation
but enormous quantities expected to fall be-
'fore their long No. 10 doube-barrelled guns, and
will find their way into this market. About one
hundred brace came in yesterday, and were
shipped to the interior this morning. Calcula-
tions made for big business this winter, and
from our own knowledge in the premises, we can
safely say that these calculations will be realized.
