Any person wishing to subscribe to the (and being raised for the benefit of the family of the late Mr. Finch, can leave their contributions with Messrs T. J. Evans, Wellington Goddin, or J. E. Burress.
The Accidental Explosion of the fulminating powder, on a recent occasion in the house of Mr. Edward P. Finch having resulted in injuries which have since terminated his life, we trust we may not be deemed intrusive in saying that there is a peculiar appropriateness in our citizens remembering, in a substantial way, those who have been orphaned by the calamity, who, as we have previously remarked, are in needy circumstances.
Mr. Finch, at the time of the accident which deprived him of life, was exerting his talents for the furtherance of Southern interests, which we hold to be a sufficient recommendation to the kindly consideration of our readers.
Contributions in aid of his family, if left with Wellington Goddin, Esq., will receive the proper direction.
Remember the widow and the orphan.

Whipped.
--The following negroes were ordered by the Mayor to be thrashed yesterday for the various offences specified against them:
Fountain, belonging to M. B. James, was caught on Thursday night with five grain bags in his possession, supposed to have been stolen.
No satisfactory explanation being produced by Fountain to prove his innocence, he was ordered fifteen stripes.
The same number of lashes was bestowed on Dick, an old negro belonging to Garret Cariton, for being without a pass and having in his possession a lot of surgical instruments.
Dick's attempts to clear himself of the charge involved him deeper in the difficulty, and the Mayor soon disposed of his case.
Ella, a little negro girl about 11 years of age, slave of Wellington Goddin, was arraigned on the charge of stealing from Mrs. Elmira Holmes, living on French Garden Hill, a gold chain valued at $50 or $60. She was also ordered a whipping.

House-breaking.
--The smoke-house of Mr. Wellington Goddin, on 6th street, near Clay, was forcibly entered last Sunday night and robbed of a quantity of bacon and beef.
The robbery was no doubt the work of negroes in the neighborhood, who knew the premises well, and had no trouble in removing their booty to a place of safety.
