imself to the thanks of every newspaper reporter. The following cases were disposed of on yesterday; Richard Kane, arrested for having in his possession a basket of gooseberries, which the "Charlies" were uncharitable enough to suppose he had stolen, was committed to jail in default of surety of the peace, no evidence being presented to show that the watchman indulged an erroneous supposition. Mike McLaughlin, who was called to the bar on the rather serious charge of stealing Wm. A. Braxton's $400 horse, not being able to explain the circumstances of his possession in a satisfactory manner, was committed to be examined before the next Hustings Court, July 14th. James Derney, who had thought proper to exhibit his warlike proclivities by threatening to assault, beat, and kill John Farrise, was arraigned at the investigation of Farriss, who said he felt a repugnance, very natural under the circumstances, to being taken off by the sanguinary Derney.

--The time of this Court yesterday was mostly occupied in enquiring into the circumstances attending the death of two men belonging to an artillery battery, who are said to have been killed near Poplar street, in the Valley, about one month since, by Dick Duff, Pat O'Neal, and Dan Broderick. The Court sat in judgment, while three villainous looking reprobates appeared as offenders, four or five cyprians as witnesses, and dozens of illfavored men, and a sprinkling of equally unfavorable looking women, as spectators. The accused were sent on for trial before Judge Lyons. The following parties were also examined and sent on to the September term of Judge Lyons's Court, viz: John Doyle, for stealing John Spurgis's watch; Valentine Shriver, for receiving a stolen pistol; Philip Weber, for stealing wearing apparel from John McEvoy; Mike McLaughlin, for stealing a horse, &c., from Wm. A. Braxton; and John Guy, for stealing $2,600 in Confederate Treasury notes from Mary Haltinan.
