Sent on for felony.

--A negro boy named Robert, slave to Jones & Thornton, was arrested last Wednesday for having in his possession a quantity of wearing apparel, supposed to have been stolen. Yesterday morning, James Hamilton appeared before the Mayor, and after examining the clothes, identified them as having been stolen from his kitchen, the door to which had been forced open. With this evidence, the prisoner was remanded to answer for felony at the December term of the Hustings Court.
