ordered 15 lashes for going about with papers out of date.--Geo. W. Burke alias Letcher, arrested for getting drunk and attempting to break down one of the Columbian Hotel doors, proved to be a dumb man with a decided penchant for "toddy." He had a letter from the Governor to the authorities of the Fredericksburg railroad, asking them to forward him to Washington, and he told the Mayor that he was going on a pilgrimage to see if Lincoln would not give him work. The Mayor sent an officer to see whether he would be sent free, and after ascertaining that he would be forwarded, ordered him to be confined in jail till yesterday evening, and then to be put on board the cars.

Kerr, for assaulting Morris Dennis yesterday morning, was required to give surety for his good behavior, and the case was sent before the Grand Jury, which meets on the 2d Monday in May.
