l note had disturbed the peace of fair Richmond's inhabitants, and that the laws enacted for the control of the "drunks, vags, and disorderly," had not, to any extent, been violated, so far as the police record set forth. Timothy Callahan, who was arrested on Thursday, charged with the murder of Michael Jones, a Texan soldier, was brought up from the station-house, but the witnesses being absent, the case was continued until the 10th instant, and the prisoner committed to jail.

Mayor's Court --Justice Caskie presiding.--The case of Thomas Lillis, charged with "feloniously taking, stealing, and carrying away" the sum of $170 in bank notes and specie, the property of Mrs. Elizabeth Demelman, came up again on Saturday. The former evidence was reproduced, with some additions; but as nothing was elicited to satisfy the magistrate of the prisoner's guilt, the warrant was dismissed.

Cornelius McCarthy, has been pending for some days past, was discharged from custody, no witness ving appeared to testify against him. The result seemed to afford much gratification to the accursed and his friends. John T. Forsey was brought up for overindulgence in spirituous liquors and trespassing on the premises of Mrs. Kennedy; and Nicholas Powers for a somewhat singular offence, with the addition of taking lodgings on the pavement. Both were disengaged with some admonitory remarks. Lewis
