Her Majesty's keeping such unreasonable hours
getting up at 12 O'Clock at night, etc. He at Va.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT Counr.-The fret case
called was the return of the rule on Lieutenant
MANNING to show cause why the body Of MICHAEL
CAsTELLo was not produced before tho Court
CAMPBELL and McCRADY appeared for the prisoner,
and MAaRATH for the respondent. The return.
with an amendment was accepted. The point
raised was that Lieutenant MANNING had no
control over the prisoner, but held him by order
OF o superior, and delivered him to q guard to be
conveyed to North Carolina, by order OF the
Provost Marshal
United States Us. steamer Aid and OF hers for
smuggling.-The District Attorney for the prose-
cution, and General CONNER for the defence.-The
Judge refused to order sale or to take bonds for
the goods, as the fraud appeared palpable; but
the parties were allowed to pay the appraised
value Of the goods to the Court in greenbacks,
less the freight and charges, which will be here
after adjudged and paid at the pro rata valne OF
greenbacks and gold of the present date and
upon the payment OF this sum (s1s, ,s21,, the
United States Marshal be ordered to turn over
the goods.
Mayors COURT, July 30.-A Milesian lady, who
was brought to the Guard House evidently in
toIicated, and who told long story about every
thing but the matter in question: in which she
was ably supported by German female friend,
who knew nothing Of the case, was DISCHARGED by
the Mayor, he conceiving that the twenty-four
hours imprisonment she had undergone was pun
ishment enough for her offence.
burly looking man, who had got drunk on
"two bots of peer" as he said was fined S., not
for imbibing the "two bots," but for assaulting
policeman and tearing his coat. and committing
other offences, which would make one think he
had drank half dozen "bots" of whiskey unre-
fined.
Another lady, from the "gem of the ocean.
who had been handed in slightually fuddled, but
insisted that she was more vexed than tight.
was discharged, being punished already by i'm
priscnment.
Three shopkeepers, who imagined the law
against selling liquor Sunday merely Joke,
were fined $40 each, which stopped tho laughing.
One Of the Superintendents of Streets cat cht it
to the amount of $50, and another will hear his
name called this evening at the convocation Of
the "Conscript Fathers"
PnovosTl CoURT, July 80. United States us.
Henry johnson (colored). Stealing Chairs
Henry Maxwell deposed that he saw the defendant
coming out Of Mrs. LAMBS house, in Nee ting
street, with three mahogany chairs; it was at
half-past A. III. Johnson WAS found guilty and
fined $40, to be put at hard labor on the streets
for thirty days.
United States us. Daniel Washington (colored).
For being Drunk and Disorderly.-The once
celebrated name of Washington appears to have
fallen into disrepute. Several times lately, to our
great sorrow, We have been Obliged to chronicle
the derelction of this family. The only evidence
against the prisoner was that, being proud of his
warlike name, he had got drunk and challenged
every one he met to fight. As these are consi-
dered to be the ''so-called" piping times Of peace
the Court justly frowned on such proceeding
and sentenced Daniel to pay IS fine, or to improve
the public highways by ten days labor thereon.
The next and last case was very lengthy one.
There were four parties indicted for keeping a
disorderly and disreputable house. Several wit
nesses testified against them and the Court found
them guilty, but the counsel for the defenda nts
appealed from this decree.
Two OF THE SAME NAME.-We are pleased to
say that we have been informed that the GLASGOW
Simmons; mentioned in our Provost Court report
Of yesterday as having stolen net and fined ten
dollars, is not the GLASGOW Simmons, formerly the
slave Of A. 8. JOHNSTON, Esq, and who bears q
very high character in the community.
THE MUaDER IN NEwBERny.-The Columbia
Patriot, OF yesterday, states that some freedmen,
supposed to be implicated in the murder Of Mr..
LEMUEL LANE, had. been overhauled near that
city, and, in the attempt to capture them, one
was killed. ~.
