that twenty bags of coffee, part of said cargo, DO

MAYORS CouRr, November "a junk-shop
keeper, who protested that he had been in the
business for twolve months, and had never been
indicted, was charged With receiving stolen cotton
The case was clear, but as it was only small
quantity, no one appeared to prosecute, and tho
junker was discharged.
Paul Foster, Francis Huges and Sem Gaiilard
were interested in q fowl trade, by which Alder
man ENsroN had suffered It Itappeared that Frank
was the thief and Paul his partner, Sam having
bought from them innoccntly. Sam was dis
charged, but advised to inspect the bill of lading
in future. Paul, who suffered so fearfully that
tho Court became Disguised, WAS turned over to q
Magistrate, together with his black oonfrere Fran
cis Aa tho fowls have all been sold, the original
owner stands o bad chance.
Virginian, but not T. F. v, applied for lodg-
iugs at the Guard House he was accommodated,
but required to give an account Of himself This
was not satisfactory, but he was turned loose, and
advised to go to work Immediately or he would
be considered vagrant, and juggod accordingly.
A Ahorse-pisto1 Of ancient looks and huge dimen-
sions was displayed, and yellow individual eharg-
ed with having risked hiB own life and disturbed
the peace by firing 1t off in the city precincts. He
owned up, and said that he only wanted to dis
charge it. That discharge was fatal one, al
though it was only blank cartridge and told more
than many other shots, for he had to pay IS, su
fer for FIVE days. His pistol was confiscated,
but he couldn't see the fire.
Susan Hudson went to the CIRCUS, and becoming
alarmed at the lions, rushed out with q drawn
knife in her hand. The police, fearing that she
would commit Susancide, carried her to her old
quarters, the calabooRe. Susan is one Of those
characters that weary justice by their importuni-
ty and she WAS ordered to be put out Of sight for
at least ten days. She is an ubiquitous character
for when we saw her last, few weeks ago, she
had been sentenced to jail for six months by the
Provost Marshal, and she has turned up again
sooner than was either expected or desired.
A Fenian, filed with ire and bad whskey, drank
destruction to the Kanucks 30 often that he won't
to sleep on the sidewalk in order to dream about
it. When he awoke, he found that it was not
marble hall, and tho fine Of IS took the edge off the
romance completely.
Another warlike character wadded himself with
the extract Of rye, and went to sleep under the
shadow Of the guns. He was found on the Citadel
Green. insensible to fear, and was somewhat
astonished when asked to pay IS for his bravery.
He will hardly try to storm many batteries under
such pressure, for the V that he exhibited was
his forlorn hope.
ST. M1oHAEL's CHuncH.--This venerable sanctu-
ary has been in the hands Of tho workmen for some
weeks past, and they have been busily engaged in
restoring it to ts pristine condition. The shells
Of the enemy, and their subsequent vandalism,
injured the interior OF the edce to great extent
but the finances we're so crippled that 1t was only
recently that the vestry could afford to have the
1ong-needed repairs effected.
Those who remember this old church before the
war will be pleased with the TRANSFORMATION that
has been made. The venerable appearance Of the
auditorium has not been changed, but in the place
Of the tablets that stood at the back of the Chance
large window has been opened. This window
was made when the church was built but WAS
subsequently blocked up, and the place covered
by the tablets When a few repairs were made
last summer, it WAS found necessary to remove
these tablets and the window was exposed. A
magnificent stained-glass window, which was OBJ
tanned from Boston, now addn both light and yen-
tilation to the church, ana the whole internal
appearance is greatly improved by the transforma-
tion. The Chancol has been newly fltte;l up both
in the plastering and the panels, and by next
summer it is contemplated to restore the tablet Of
Commandments nnd others; also tho coloring Of
the ceiling and the Cherubims, and other ornaments
that havo been lost.
Tho pulpit and general arrangement Of the pews
