The despatch was from the city of Richmond and was sent by the gentleman who claimed to have been robbed, and whose name is Captain McDonald, of the ship “Am- bassador,’’ now lying at New Orleans. The baggage described by Capt. McDonald in his dispatch was found upon the parties ar- rested , but on the examination before Justice Hollingshead there appeared no proof of crim- inal intention upon the part of those arrested It appeared rather, that they had been acting as his friends in the matter, in attending to bis baggage when he had accidentally missed the train on his way from Richmond after it been checked through The prisoners were accordingly dismissed, and the baggage is now at the office of Justice Hollingshead, awaiting the arrival of Capt. McDonald The affair was managed skillfully and ty by our police, and though it occa- sioned some inconvenience to the innocent _— it demonstrates the alertness and vigi- ance with which acase of real mischief would be tracked out. Mercury's despatch to the Baltimore Sun, in relation to the matter was, of course, incorrect. onations to the Labrary.—A volume wat received from the Surgeon General's Office, entitled ‘Army Meteorological Register for Twelve Years, 1843 to 1894, inclusive; pre- ared under the direction of Brevet Brig.

We give the owners of fast nags the benefit of the proposal : Bartiworg, Feb. 2, 1856 Mr. Epitor: Sir—In the local columns of the Star of the lst inst., in your report of the sleighing, you say according to the estimate of the Washingtonians, who may have been somewhat partial to home in forming their judgment in regard to the trial of speed on the avenue the day in question I can only say that [ think you could have said, without the slightest risk of being mistaken, that they have been very partial to home, for in regard to my horse Pilot I say that no herse beat him, nor did I think that any person present was under that impression. Having great respect for Washingtonians, and being one myself by birth, nothing would afford me more pleasure than to have a match with Paddy for $1,000, or any other horse that was on the avenue that day; and I will agree to drive Pilot from Baltimore one day, and trot the race the next. .
