Mayors CoURT, Portsmouth. - Mayor Collins
has managed to rid the City of the negro vaga-
bonds, thieves and garroters, and all the 'w white
hummer round the town. Ye terday business
was dull.
James RELY, James Weaver, William Walters,
Martin Claherty, Martin Kney and Peter Gallilee,
all BOYS, were arrested for dsorderly conduct and
disturbing the peace. After slight admot ition
from his Honor, they were fined So each, and
locked up in default of the greenbackF, to board it
out, or until the needful was handed over by some
kindly disposed friend.
Sansbury Williams, rascaliy black, always
on the lookout tor something to turn up, and
learning that the sogers had left the Macon House
in the hands of the owner, thought he would re-
connoitre the premises, and see if there any
thing lying round loose. Acting under this i'm
pulse, Sansbury, after a careful survey of all the
rooms, saw nothing more suitable to his comfort
this cold wea her than lot of CRATES, freezing
on to these, he sailed forth just in time to meet
police officer, who nabbing him, brought him be-
fore his Honor, and he was confdingly entrusted
to the care of the Freedmen's Court.
Many ladies having complained of the habit Of
negroes wheeling their barrows the sidewalks,
and forcing them to muddy their snowy skirts,
our gallant perlice, seeing Mr.. Henry Johnsing,
a gentleman of color, engaged in this censurable
business, i'll violation of the City ordinance, and
regardless of the ladies' Wishes arrested him, and
his Honor sent him over Jordan with Williams.
Young Peter Gallilee, son of Mr.. Gallilee was
arrested on a charge of committing nuisance,
probably playing hop-scotch,) on the premises of
Eugene Reilly, and was committed for further ex
animation.
