ELLINaswoRTH PREPARING TO RETURN The
| flight of VIM. t. Ellingsworth from this city a
week or two ago, and his pursuit almost to st.
Georges. will be remembered by the readers of
the COMMERCIAL, the particulars having been full
| ly published in it at the time. Mr.. Ellingsworth
made his way into Sussex, his former place OF
| residence, where he employed COUNSEL to whom
he related the whole transaction. Mr. 7. Y. de-
Normandie, one of the victims of the supposed
| forgery, was sent for, who confronted Ellings-
worth, when the latter convinced him that he
| had not committed the forgery as alleged and
can 80 prove. He ran away. he said, to avoid
| being thrust into jail. So plausible s Mr.. ELL
ingswerths statement, and 10 implicitly il it be-
| lieved, that arrangements are being made by
which he will be permitted to return TO the city
unmolested, it is thought, and resume business
CARRIED HOME ON SErTEE Last evening,
a party of four or five young men who had i'm
bibed rather too freely betook themselves to the
| depot to have some fun. They first fell in with
a party of corn cutters from Darby, two of whom
| they assaulted and bruised about the face, but
escaped without injury although the injured men
had their knives with them. Shortly afterwards
| they came i'll collision with a carter for one Of
the coal yards named Murphy, who almost
| knocked the breath out of one of them by a
stone which he hurled against his breast, and
another one was struck in the face by still
larger stone, which proAtrated him and wounded
him 30 badly that lie had to be carried homo on
| a settee This seemed to sober up the crowd,
and no further dist urbance occurred
The KNOWLES FAILURE AT NEW CAsTLE.-The
| failure Of Mr.. Knowles, who has been running
the woolen mills at New Castle, resulted in the
stopping of that establishment and since then
great many hands have been out of employment
| IN consequence. There IL now howeyer,a pros
pect of resuming work at the mills, it being un-
derstood that Mr.. Knowles has effected some ar
| rangements with his creditors which will allow
him to continue the business, and in short
| time il is expected that all the hands who have
been thrown out of work will be employed.
