A RICH PRoCEEDING.-Late last night,
IN fact close on to midnight, the persons who
chanced to be abroad, or were awake, in the
neighborhood of Eleventh and Chesnut streets,
were annoyed and dlsgusted with the noise and
disturbance created by two nightwalkers. OF
these two, named Elizabeth Morris ano Fanny
Putz, one, the former, was particularly drunk
and violent. She had decidedly pugnaclous
propensity, and INDUCED her bent by making
violent assault on quadroon girl named Clara
Cova, and nearly tore the dress from her back
Fannys principal otfenses we're drunkenness,
night walking, and being in such bad, 5ad company;
They were both taken TO the Fifth District
Station House. About twenty minutes to one
o'clock this morning two well-known men, one
OF them doctor (whose names we withhold for
the presently, went to the Mayors residence and
knocked him up, to get note to the Lieutenant
Of the Fifth District to have these two females
released. The Mayor being sick, his son wrote
q note to the Lieutenant of the Fifth District,
directing him to have them discharged and have
the petitioners and the women both before him
this morning for hearing.
Early in the morning carriage and pair,
with the two men aforementioned, and a pro-
fessional bailgoer, went to the station and had
the two females released; the first, Elizabeth
Morris after paying fine and being held in
$400 bail to answer charges at Court, and Fanny

REGATTA OF THE MoSQUITo FLEET -
Yesterday afternoon Grand trial Of skill came
off from De Binders River Side Retreat, Glou
cester, in which some fifteen skiffs cohtended
for champion flag. Nothing coulu surpass the
beauty OF the scene as those swift sailing little
crafts ''walked the water like thing of life"
The prize was won by Mr.. Frink's boat by
many lengths. Mr.. William Alexander sailed
| a race for a purse against the De Binder, in
which the former was victorious. Ii anything
could have added ectot to the festive occasion it
a
leon of the Delaware" Old Pap Cooper, and the
| 'Manton OF America" James E. Evans, to have
| presented the victor with the prize with few
welEtined and appropriate remarks.
FALSE PRETKNCEs.-A rather old dodge
was played upon gentleman by man ans wer-
ing to the name OF James 5. Barron; % 1t seems
| that the said James had borrowed 800 from an
acquaintance, and given in return draft for the
money, payable on three days sight. When he
gave the note he acknowledged that he had no
| money in the hands of the party on whom the
note was drawn; but he said he expected to have
| in couple of days. The plaintiff, as matter
| of course, could not get his money, or, at least,
more than half of it, and SO brought suit against
Barron, who was held in $500 bail by Alderman
Massey to answer. Barron, we believe, occu-
pied some political Office in this city few
years ago.
FATAL ACCIDENT.-AbOut o'clock yes
terday morning horse attached to wagon,
| while standing at the corner OF Thirty-seventh
and Market streets, became frightened, and dashed
| down the street at q furious rate. John Elkton,
little boy only eight years old was in the wagon
| at the time, and as the wagon came INTO
violent contact with the tree box in front Of a
shoe stoIe in Market street, below Thirty sixth,
the boy was dashed 70 the ground, and the
wagon wheels then passed over his stomach,
crushing him in a fearful manner. Mrs. Ban
croft, who keeps the shoe store had him taken
into her house and physician sent for, but the
bOy died in an hour after he was taken in. His
parents reside in Hestonville
LLoYD's "RAILRoAD GUIDE PA reissue

Lloyd before the war, has appeared, and will

commendaton, and Mr.. Lloyd has well sue
ceeded.
STEALING CLOTHEs.-A female named
Laura Williams was arrested yesterday tor the
larceny OF $3.50 worth of clothing. The theft
occurred some two months since, but the police
were unable to get on the track of the offender
| until Yesterday, when the lady from whom the
| clothes we're stolen saw her il the street and
| pointed her out to an officer, and had her ar
rested. She was committed in default of $1,000
bail by Alderman Lutz, to answer at court.
The arrest took place in the neighborhOod OF
Broad aud South streeIs.
