Arrests. --The following arrests were registered at the First Station-House last night: --Ellen Burton, negro, for stealing clothing and abusing Mrs. Simons; Billy Burk, negro, for stealing and attempting to sell a load of coal: Dick Rivers, the notorious "rough" from the Sixth Ward, New York, for stealing a bottle of pickles from the store of Mr. Rooke.--Rivers, it will be remembered, recently served a term of imprisonment in Castle Thunder, and on the morning of his release went to the police station drunk, and made such a disturbance that Major Croft had him again locked up. The Major discharged him upon his solemn promise to leave the city at once, although he remarked, after Rivers retired, that had he been aware of his antecedents, he would have sent him to jail. It now appears that the "rough" broke his word; and as it seems to be his ambition to serve another term in a Richmond prison, the Mayor will undoubtedly gratify him to-day. The only other arrest made last eveni
