Horse stealing. --William Willey and John Collins, arrested on charge of stealing a horse belonging to Chas. P. Word, in June last, were before the Mayor yesterday for examination. Mr. Word's stable, in New Kent county, was broken into and the horse stolen. Two days after John Welsh, a member of Capt. Rogers's cavalry, rode the horse to this city, and was arrested. Welsh proved in his trial that he borrowed the horse at camp in Charles City, and he was therefore discharged. Yesterday it was proved that the prisoners carried the horse to Rogers's camp, and claimed it. As the theft was committed in New Kent county, and the horse was taken to Charles City, the Mayor decided that the thieves must be tried in one or the other of those counties, and therefore determined to send them down, unless he could discover some law, lately passed, giving the Courts of Richmond jurisdiction over the matter. Neither the jail of New Kent or Charles City are safe prison-houses at this time, owi

Serious difficulty. --On Wednesday night last a difficulty occurred at the house of Mrs. McGrain, on Main street, between 20th and 21st, during which John Collins was shot and seriously wounded in the lower part of the abdomen. It seems that Collins and a man named Wm. Ryan were engaged in a game of cards at Mrs. McGrain's, when a dispute arose between them, and both being considerably under the excitement or liquor pistols were drawn, and Ryan's was discharged at Collins, inflicting the Collins and a man named Wm. Ryan were engaged in a game of cards at Mrs. McGrain's, when a dispute arose between them, and both being considerably under the excitement or liquor pistols were drawn, and Ryan's was discharged at Collins, inflicting the wound above described. Previous to this occurrence the two men were on the most intimate terms, and it is a matter of great surprise to their friends that any trouble should have taken place between them. Up to seven o'clock last night Collin's ball had not been extracted, and although his case did not appear to be a very critical one yet the longer the leaden instrument of death remains in his system the less chance there is of his recovery.
