CAN'T SOMETHING BE Done ?--Our merchants
to operate upon, and as there is said to be any
quantity of produce in the country, consisting of
cotton, corn, naval stores, &C., ready for market,
1t seems pretty hard that just at this time,
every avenue Of transportation to the city for
these articles should be blocked up, out of order,
seeking to make its way to the city.
What are we to do2 1t is said there is wisdom
In counsel, and we suppose there is. If so, would
1t not be as well to have meeting or two of the
citizens or the merchants, to take these matters
into consideration.

MAYORS Court, Norfolk, Dec. l2h.-Bridget
began entered complaint against John +. Long
and u. l. johnson, for attempting to extort mo-
ney from her Ivy passing themselves off officers.
The girl Bridget was emigrant, having been
brought to this city under the auspices of Dr. Bell,
who, it appears, placed her at Jenkins Restau-
rant, on Union street. She remained there
short time, and left to live with family at Deep
creek, where, to use her own statement she was
treated worse than negro. She consequently
left the rural districts of Deep creek, and re-
turned to the city, where she obtained work in
Jew family, to train the children; being literally
starved, as she did not get morsel to eat for AZ
hours, she left, and failing to secure employment,
at last fell into of the sinks of iniquity upon
Commerce street. She fell. In this condition the
poor creature was beset by harpies who live upon
the credulity of that race, and in order to force
the collection of the bill for her expenses from
ntimidate her and make her pay it. AS she had
no evidence but her own to cerroborate her testi-
mony, the case was not sustained, and the two
emigrant runners were discharged.
John Coon, charged with abusive and threat
ening language towards Mrs. King, was fined
five dollars.
City of Norfolk u.s. Oliver Wettmore, charged
with selling goods by card or sample, was not sus
tanned The law in the above case was not deci
ded, his Honor reserving the questions of law in
volved for some future case, where the facts are
proved.
The City Attorney, G. Fl. Sharp, also called the
attention of the Court and the officers, to point
of law which had been brought to his notice by
the City Collector, concerning auctioneers who
are in the habit of selling goods outside of their
place of actual business. The City Attorney I'M
hesitatngly propounded the law exactly as it reads
in the statue, that any auctioneer who has a
license has perfect right to sell at any store
an auctioneer, provided the owner of that store
has taken out license for one year to sell his
merchandise, but that no auctioneer had right
under the law, to sell any goods brought to this
auction house to be sold, unless that merchant
first takes out license for one year. This is an
important question, and more particularly defines
the status and rights of auctioneers who are more
heavily taxed than any other class of business
men.
