SUNDAY EVENING SPORT.-Two young men,
Montgomery Patterson and James Wilkerson,
jr., had difficulty in " Petersburg" Yesterday
about young lady, which was not settled until
the princfpals-accompaniedb by their respective
friends and a large crowd of interested specta-
tOrs-had repaired to the banks Of the canal, and
knocked and bruised each other for at least a
half hour, according to the rules of the prize
ring. Patterson was proclaimed the victor.
BOLD RoBBERY.-The second hand clothing
store OF Nj. j. Rafferty,, northeast corner of King
AID Columbus streets, was entered by thieves
last night. and robbed of it is supposed, for the
exact amount Of the loss can not as yet be ascer.
tanned, about two hundred dollars worth OF
watches, pistols, and new pants and coats. The
robbery was one of the bOldest ever committed
in this city. The thieves first cut a hole through
the side of the house-a brick wall fourteen In
ches thick on Columbus street-but finding tn lat
1t opened in the cellar, which was sh ut off from
the store by door which they could not force
open, they cut another ope ming through the
same wall but nearer to King street. and through
this they obtained the entrance they desired
Six families live in the same building, but not a

TnsLAT1 BorLsR ExPfosroN-FrankT Tyler,
the engineer who was injured BY the explosion
Shoemaker, on Water sire ct, yesterday morning.
was not 30 seriously hurt as was at first supposed,
and will doubtless recover. Besides broken
81. ne received severe cut on the BACK , o. %
ie not believed that he was internally injured.
The cause of the explosion, II seems, Is to re-
main mystery. The statement that there was
IN insufficient amount of water In the boiler is
denied by Mr.. Shoemaker, who three minutes
before examined the register, and found that
the boiler at that time carried but forty pounds
OF ste am. The boiler was capable Of carrying
easily 40 pounds, but the register was usually
set for 20 pounds, that being sufi cient to drive
the mill Mr.. s. believes that at the time he ex-
amined the register the boiler did not lack for
water, and that the engineer was fully compe-
tent to perform the duties of his position. Out
side parties, however, deny the latter assertion,
stupidity of the engineer, who turned large
amount of cold water into the boiler when il was
overheated. 1t is but just to say that these as
sertions have not been substantiated by evil
dence OF any kind.

The WHARvEs.-Since the opening of the
river everything looks favorable for the early
resumption of business at the coal wharves and
on Water street. This morning two coal schoon-
