BEFORE JUSTICE WALKER.-The
only State case that occupied the at
tention of Justice. Walker yesterday,
was the examination of the man ar
rested in Vincennes on charge Of bur-
glary-robbing Jimmy Orr's house
on Saturday night last. He was ad-
judged guilty, and held to bail in the
sum of 81, 1000, in default of which he
went to Jail. He manifested a sub
lime Indifference to his. fate, and
seemed rather to derive pleasure from
the anticipation of going over to board
with Sheriff Darling. He may not
find his quarters as pleasant as he an
ticipates.

TAKING THE CoNcEIr OUT.-It is
said, the Charlottesville Band have
taken it into their heads that, if they
had an opportunity, they could take
the conceit out of the Crescent City
Silver Band. We do not know just
how much conceit the members of
the Crescent City Band possess, but
it is our deliberate opinion, if the
members of the Charlottesville Band
have conceit enough to believe they
can excel the Crescents making music,
they can have that hallucination dis
sipated most effectually, by making
an excursion to this city, and bring
ing their own judges with them. We
will promise the Charlottesville boys
most hospitable entertainment, if
they will come down, and we won't

RECORDERS CoURT.-Business in
the Recorders Court was about played
out yesterday. In fact, the bummers
in the city seem to be again on their
good behavior, and even petty offences
have ceased, and the police are having
slim pickings. The prevalent habit
of leaving drays in obscure alleys, or
candle boxes on the sidewalks, has
been given up. The dog question has
also gone to rest, and shooting by the
stars has ceased. ~
One poor fellow, who had the mis-
fortune to loose one hand, fell into
the hands of the police yesterday, and
was ushered into the presence of that
august dispensator of public justice,
Recorder Nelson. The ordinance not
having been very desperately fractur-
ed, and the impecuniosity of the ac-
cused being very manifest, he was dis
missed without either fine or costs.

FOREIGN MEcHAN1sM.-The Silver

FOREIGN MECHANISM.-The Silver
Moon yesterday discharged, at the city
wharf, large lot of door and window
frames, intended, we are told, for the
new Catholic Church. They were
made, we understand, in Cincinnati,
and of course are very handsome.
We have no doubt, however, that they
could have been made in this city just
as handsomely and just as cheap Our
mechanics are justly noted for their
excellent work, and we regret to see
such importations, as we believe ev-
erything of, the kind could be and
should be made at home. In all such.
contracts. discrimination should be
made in favor of home mechanics.
No DANGER.-We do not partici4
pate in the fears of a ''cut off, above
the city, INDUCED by our Rockport
correspondent. IT'S true there is
rapid current across the point between
this and the mouth of Green River,
and so there has been from time i'm
memorial, but nature, or rather the
Sublime Author of Nature has pro-
vided against such a contingency, at
the same time providing an outlet for
the accumulating waters to save Ev-
ansville from inundation. The whole
neck of land from Henderson to this
city is lower than on the site of Evans
vile, and before the water rises over
Water Street here, Z it is drawn across
the neck, Once or twice in ten years
these floods occur, and yet we are as
sured by those best acquainted with
the situation, that there is not deep
er channel across the point now than
there was thirty years ago, while the
accumulation of logs and drift has
rather strengthened the position ~
In ordinary stages the surface of
the river is 20 feet below the bottom
of the channel in the cutoff, while
there is 20 feet of water in the chan
mel on this side opposite. We have
heard those apprehensions expressed
for the last five years at each recur-
renee of high waters, but only by
those who have not examined the
situation. The water will have to cut
20 feet deep through hard rock before
Evansville is left out in the country.
