FasBpMEN's CouRr.-The attendance before this
tribunal to-day, was not very numerous
Moses Mason, gentleman of free color, visited
the Court, at its solicitation, to ascertain as to
charge brought against him for gambling The
authorities being satisfied that Moses had really
been indulging in this notable pastime, fined him
twenty dollars. Moses not having realized very
heavily in his gambling snap was unable to cover
the point, and was accordingly escorted to Jail.
John Carter, was also present to investigate
charge against him for appropriatin9 some body's
goods and chattels. The evidence being pretty
strong and conclusive, John seemed to think there
was power of truth in it. The Court demanded
$40; but Johns operations not having yielded
very abundantly of greenbacks, he had likewise
to take lodgings with the citys guests.
Dick Daniels and Daniel Godfrey, for INDUCING
in little break-neck style of horseracing through
the streets of the city, to the great danger of pc
dsstrians, children, &C., were fined $40 each, and
not having so much lyshoag in their pockets, were
committed to Jail.
William Moss, for practicing in the art of Da-
yid of old, who killed Goliah, was up before the
court Now, it so happened that there was con-
siderable difference between the two individuals,
and the circumstances under which they each
sought their recreation. David was discreet
enough not to throw stones in a crowded city, but
WILTON lacked this discretion; therefore the
court charged him So.

NORFOLK. Dec. IL. |

NORFOLK, Dec. IL, 1865.
There seems quite a stagnation in our market,
owing to the stoppage of the Chesapeake and AL
bemarle Canal together with the fact of the
Dismal Swamp Canal being out of order, and the
Seaboard railroad being so badly prepared for for
warding produce from the country, and the addi-
tonal fact of the Norfolk and Petersburg railroad
not yet having commenced operations
The operations yesterday were very limited.
Produce is on the decline. We have nothing to
report on Change.
In cotton some outside transactions occurred
Middlings sold at 40c.; Green Pork, at llc., hog
round. Butter, per package, from 4O@48. Lard,
20 @30c.
Owing to the fall in gold, which is now selling
in this city at l4O@l41, produce generally is on
the decline.
From North Carolina, yesterday, the arrivals
were quite small, being but 253 barrels of Tar,
and CA bales of Cotton.
