MILES RIDDrcK, THE CONDEMNED MAN.
Dating from to-day, Miles Riddick (colored)
has only one week OF existence left him.
He was arrested by Policeman Colgin on
November 1st for feloniously shooting AL
exander Burke (coloreO with musket on
a tug-boat at Rockets. On November I'd,
Burke having meanwhile succumbed to his
injuries, Riddick was taken in custody by
Sergeant Dan. Wren, charged with murder.
OF this offence lie was tried and convicted
to be executed on Tuesday, January 23d. A
petition for communication of his sentence
exists, but will probably prove unavailing.
Riddick is said not to comprehend the gra-
vity of the circumstances which now sur
round him. His execution will occur under
the supervision of City Sergeant Tyler on
the plateau below the powder magazine
the usual place.

!. STONE CUTTERS MEETING.-For some
weeks past there has been misunderstand-
ing between the contractors and the Gov
ernment officials in regard to decrease OF
pay OF the cutters. The Government wished
to reduce the pay from $3.50 to $3.50 per
day. The stone-cutters protested against
this reduction, and contended that the pay
was not sufficient, considering the many
months they had to be idle during the win.
Ter. The contractors also objected to this
reduction; Consequently all the cutters
were informed that they would be dis
charged; as soon as their stone was finished.
. The contractors resolved to turn the con-
tract into piece job, and allow the men fifty
cents per foot for the work. This pay, they
state, would be totally inadequate to their
necessities. Consequently meeting OF the
stonc-cutters was called to assemble at Old
Market Hall last night to take into conside-
ration what should be done. At 8 O'clock
the meeting was called to order, and Mr..
William Yager chosen president, who stated
the object Of the meeting On nascertaining
