Mayors COURT, Portsmouth, The Court room
of Mayor Collins, in Portsmouth, on yesterday
morning, presented quite lively appearance
The police seemed in high spirits, each and every
one. no doubt, having consciousness of having
done his nocturnal duty. The Mayor, on opening
the Court, looked austere, and in fact trowned on
the offenders, the first of whom, on being called
up, proved to be Peter Pagan, again arrested for
peddling cigars, but as was the case before Mayor
Tabb, on Friday last, the charge was not sus
tanned, and the case dismissed, it appearing that
the sale of said cigars was legally made.
Patrick O'Brien for assaulting VIM. O'Connel,
and, besides being drunk was disorderly, was put
under bonds to keep the peace for IL months, and
fined in the sum of $40, personally.
Willis Norfeet, colored, for the theft of vege-
tables was turned over to the military authorities
of this city for hearing.
Chas Everde, colored, for stealing hog from
John Cottonhead was sent on to same Court.
Henry Freeman, another sable, for shooting off
his pistol the streets, contrary to regulation,
and for stealing beeswax from VIM. Freeman d
Co., was dropped into the hands OF the military
Horace Koran, charged with picking the pocket
of Mary Weston, of 1885, was committed to Jail to
await an examination.
Thomas Edwards, (minor,) on complaint of
Edward Carhart, was arrested for assault on the
latters son with a knife. The charge not bgein
sustained, the case was dismissed.
Edward Mears, for allowing his horse to carry
him on the sidewalk and also for riding out of the
gait specified by law, was dismissed with repri-
mand
Joseph Boush, arrested on complaint of John
johnson, for the theft of coat valued at 81, and
sundry articles of jewelry, was committed for
trial.
Mr. Hoskins from ye district of Perquimman's
in North Carolina, appeared to "buzz" the
Charles relative to the apprehension of party or
parties unknown, who had stolen from his cart
carpet-bag and contents, valued at $50. No clue,
however, could be gained to the thief
The last case wound up the court, which, al
though largely attended yesterday, will be per-
haps void of presence to-day, save that of the
honorable fanctionary who so well and ably pre-
sides over it

weather Miss Reynolds continues to draw ap-
preciative and fashionable audiences. Her charm
ing person, faultless make up, and natural act
ing have completely won the hearts of the ha-
bitues of the theatre. She is without exception
one of the most winning, natural, refined, and
cultivated actresses on the American boards. She
is nature herself, and, without desire to win APP
pause by forced points, she has risen to an envia-
BILE and prominent position in her profession.
She appears in Camille tonight. The bare an
nouncement that Miss Reynolds will personate
that unfortunate coquette should be enough to fill
the house.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. We understand that the
male departments of these schools are filling up
male departments. This is, to us, matter of
much surprise. When we remember the high
character these schools bear, the undoubted quail
ifications of the ladies who are at the head of
them, the liberal efforts of the Commissioners,
the interest and industry manifested by the gen
temanly and talented Superintendent and the
superior advantages which are offered to the
children of this city to procure at mere nomi-
nal cost, first class education, we wonder that
every seat has not been filled long since. Again
we repeat, there vacant seats yet to be filled,
and parents will do well to avail themselves of
the opportunity, to enter their children in time
to secure the immense advantages offered.
