ACCIDENT, TO THE STEAMSHIP SARAGossA-DETEN-
r1oN OF STEAMERs.-The steamship Falcon, at this
port yesterday from Baltimore, reports speaking,
on Sunday evening last, near Cape Hatteras, the
stea. p Saragossa, from this city for New York,
with her shaft broke. The Saragossa was making
the best she could under canvas, but it was blow
ing fresh frora northwest, with heavy sea from
the south. The steamships Quaker city and Man
haitian, both due here yesterday from New York,
failed to arrive, and it is thought that they may
have fallen in with the Saragossa and taken her in
tow. We annex list Of passengers coming in the
Quaker City, which is taken from New York

MAYORS CouRT-Ellen Barnett, fair nymph
who had been an old habitue Of the court pre-
cincts, was up for her usual offence, but in con-
sideration of her youth and innocence she was
discharged with caution to mend her ways.
A gay and festive drunkard, who mistook Meet
ing street for his couch, and extended his length
upon the sidewalk, was gontly reminded Of his
mistake by small tap Of club and SIS fine in
the morning.
An Elliott street denizen, who was decidedly a
lawless character and opposed to waterfalls, took
to whiskey naturally and caved beautifully; she
was excayated from the mud and the customary
fine imposed.
A savage individual, who went on whooping
drunk and fourished q knife to the great detri-
ment Of the by-standers, was arrested and de-
prived of his weapon. As he was not disposed to
visit the headquarters, but resisted his captors
gentle fine of $40 WIS imposed to remind him that
he was but mortal
The CIRCUS JUBILEE commenced last night, and
the Citadel Green was visited by many who be-
leved that the Hippodrome was the greatest show
in existence. An admiring crowd surrounded the
pavilion, and endeavored by surreptitious means
to secure an entrance, but the vgilant doorkeeper
was too shrewd for them, and their efforts were
futile. circus is no rare sight to the fun loving,
but IRaANs is an exception to the general rule
and embodies in itself all of those principles that
make their performances so popular. His troupe
of actors are unsurpassed as comedians, eques-
trians and acrobats, and the animules almost rival
ed their masters by their attractions.
The company arrived yesterday on the Eliza
Hancor, and the line Of march was instantly taken
up for the Citadel Green, where preparations had
been made for their reception. The first grand
matinee takes place to-day, and both that and the
night performance will repay o visit.
TIE u, S. STEAMER HARRIET LANE.-This vessel
which was among the first constructed steamers
for Revenue service, having been built some years
before the war, and which was considered some
what celebrated in her day for speed and model,
arrived here from Havana, yesterday. The Har-
4'iet Lane has had something of o history, having
been among the first blockaders off this port when
the war began, and she was afterwards employed
in the Gulf and was captured in the harbor OF
Galveston by the Texans, who, by bold dash, cap
tured the Lane and several other craft. She was
afterwards employed by tho Confederates and was
found in Havana when the war broke down, and
has again come into tho possession Of the United
States. She is in charge of the officer who COM
manded her when first built Capt. JOHN FAUNcE.
She looks somewhat rusty, and wants consider
able repairs to make her appearance and speed
what it was of yorc. She was ACCOMPANIED by the
u S. Revenue steamer Hugh McCWRoch and the
steamer Pelictnl.
NU1sANcE.-The city ordinance prohibiting the
obstruction of the Sidewalks has been frequently
evaded, and the citizens put to considerable III
convenience on this account This is particularly
the case on the prominent thorouglfares, and the
crowds 40 daily throng those streets are often
compelled to mako wide detours i'll order to avoid
the distractions on the pavement. Several par
ties, who have been detected violating the law OH
this point, have been reported and fined, but the
nuisance still continues and the community suffer.
Many Of the stores and private houses have their
cellar entrances on the sidewalk, and when thcy
receive coal or wood the load is dumped upon the
pavement, instead Of in the street. Aside from
the Inconvenience caused by the barrier, the dirt
and dust are very dsagreeable and damaging to
both clothes and temper. The ordinance requires
that these distractions should be Immediately re-
moved. and if allowed to remain on the sidewalk
beyond certain period, the parties transsressing
should be liable to fine. A proper regard to the
requirements of this law would result In q great
benefit to these who are now annoyed and delayed
by these barriers, and few cases reported by the
police would be o warning that the city ordinances
cannot be violated with impunity.
