Among the articles found in their jion were jvods stolen from nearly every house whieh & other prisoners are known to have bar- jariously entered—boots and shoes, clothing, g . clocks, watehes, 4c., all of whic! = say came into their hands from young Deasine.

The number of cases against them and the aggregate of bail demanded ch prisoner was $4,000. fernooe, B Fiss Tow, in Alexandria, is just now worth a visit from all males who have never seen the sight in this region of country. It is the depot and mart for the result of the labors of the seine haulers on the Potomac. Mil- Jions of fish are brought there in smacks to be wid and putaway. A heterogenous popula- tion of fishermen and fishwomen, the latter being principally after the order of those of the Billiogsgate market, in ‘‘ famous London town,” are at work there. There are usually from five hundred to two thousand persons collected on and around the fish wharf and in the surrounding booths, and on Sundays they fourish most astonishingly. The neces. sities of the business, which is becoming a very important one, force the authorities to with scenes in and around “ Fish a for two or three weeks, such as under no other circumstances ever ire among our sedate neighbors of Alexandria. Once + the height of its busy season “ Fish roomie is never forgotten. Steamboats run nearly every hour between the Washington wharves and that astonishing locality. Hack Rares —We give below a list of the prices the law allows hackmen to charge for their services. This we do at the request of several of those who do not know: Between daybreak and eight o’clock p. m., for convey- ing each and every passenger not over cne mile and a half, twenty-five cents; over one wile and a half, and not exceeding three miles, fifty cents. In case any such vehicle shall be detained longer than five miuutes the driver shall be allowed twelve and a half cents for every fifteen minutes so detained ; and for every detention later than eight o'clock the driver may demand and receive for the whole hack at the rate of fifty per cent. in addition on the foregoing charges.

There is no article of a gentleman’s “ belongings,’’ from a tooth- brush to a $60 smoking jacket, conceivable, thatis not to be seen there, manufactured in the very latest fashion and for sale at all prices; the stock bei selected to suit the jimensions of the pockets of all, from the man who wants a hat or an umbrella for oe dollar,to hire who wishes such or any sher article of the highest price in the mar- ket. A man hardly knows what is necessary te biseomfort until he glances over the rich lisplay of Hopkins’s oe Govansuenst Armory —The contractors, Messrs. E.

Weare obliged to one of the contractors for the following: The building is to be 103 feet > inches, by 57 feet; three stories and attic ; from the ground to the top of blocking 47 feet, and 60 feet to the cone of the roof.

Tue Orpuans’ Farr.—The fair, now in full blast at Carusi’s Saloon, proves to have been one of the most brilliant of the season ; the at- tendance of beautiful and interesting young ladies—the charm of such entertainments— being almost unprecedented in this region. The display of enticing articles for sale con- tinues to threaten the pockets of all visitors. It is to continue until Wednesday night next, when it closes with a grand concert, at which Mrs. Young, assisted by the best talent in the Catholic choirs of the District, are expected to take part, we hear. To-night, those who attend may expect to enjoy themselves vastly, as on every other evening until the fair ter- minates. Dismissep.—Yesterday, aman named Jacob M. Kibbey charged a colored boy named Chas. Minor with stealing his pocket-book, contain- ing thirty dollars in money, and papers of the value of one hundred and eighty two dollars. The case came up for trial this morning be- fore Justice Clark, but the prosecutor failed to appear. The witnesses all gave evidence in favor of the boy, and the Justice dismissed the case. The boy has always sustained a character, and it will not be injured by is charge. Centre Marxer.—The supply of country produce was abundant this morning, and rices about the same as we have quoted be- ‘ore. The fish market was crowded at an early hour Rock and perch were selling at 25 cents per bunch ; herring 10 cts. per bunch; and shad 25a37¢ cts Jee pair. Inthe batch- ers market dealers and purchasers were lively. Supply plentiful, and prices about the same as during the week. Figurine —Justice Smith also examined the cases against Michael O’Sullivan and Den- nis Connell, charged with fighting. Both par- ties were ordered to give security to keep the peace. [comaronicateD. Mr. Edttor ; An error occurred in my com- munication, \ petra in yesterday’s issue Instead of ‘Jefferson Square,’’ as published, it should read ‘+ Jefferson Place.”’ The sug- gestion I intended to make was, that all those triangular ‘‘ Reservations,’’ should be desig- nated and known as ‘‘Places,’’ and not as “* Squares.”’ Crry, Warcu Returns.—This morning, a man named John Stammer, a German, was brought out for trial. He was found at1o’clock in the store-rooms of Mr. S. Shreve. That be- ing the only charge against him, he was sent to the work house for thirty days by Justice Stevens. «re —______ Mr. Massey.—A statement in the Star having been made, alleging that Mr. Massey was arrested for obtaining goods under false retences, the statement is a reflection on rt. Massey, which the circumstances of the case will not justify. Any and every person trading in paper, and paying out the same with or without endorsers, nad the purties not meeting said paper promptly, the person so passing and guaranteeing the same might be brought upon a similar charge. So entirely fatile was the charge against Mr. Massey, that the matter, when understood, was promptly adjusted to the satisfaction of ail persons con: cerned, without any reflection on the charac- ter of Mr Massey. FRienp. lt GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. Georgetown, April 19, 1856. The following business was had under con- sideration by our City Councils last night : Mr. Orme presented a communication from the Trustees of the Poor covering the esti- mated expenditures of the poor and alms house for the year 1856. Estimated expend- itures $2,650; estimated receipts from farm and garden, $500; leaving a balance of $2,150 to be provided for out of the corporation trea- sury; referred. Me. White asked that the committee on pumps be discharged from the further consid- eration of the memorial of W. Runington and others, and that the memorial be referred to the Mayor; agreed to. The same gentleman reported a bill appro- priating $53 90 for the benefit of Thos. Philips and 8. Jones for work done on a well in Sep- tember, 1855; passed both Boards. The same gentleman reported Aldermen's bill for the improvement of the footway on the east side of Washington street, between Stod- dard and Road streets. Mr. Soymcat reported adversely on the pe- tition of R. B. Lloyd asking to be refunded amount paid by him for cart license ; report sustained. Aldermen’s bill appropriating $100 for cleaning the town was passed. Also, bill for the benefit of Jas. F. Essex. A communication was received from Mr John 8. Blackford, which was laid over until next meeting, without being read. On motion of Mr. English the bill appropri- ating $25,000 to meet the second instalment of the Corporation’s subscription to the Me- tropolitan Railroad was then taken up and assed the Council by the following vote : Veas—Messrs. Barron, Crawford, English, Seymour, White, Jones, Sweeney, Orme, and Tyler. Nays none. The Boards then adjourned The interruption to the packet line by the frequently occurring breaks on the canal is not among the least of the annoyances and ill conveniencies to which the public are sub- jected in consequence of them. The Argo, which went up on Monday last, is expected to be able to pass the damaged portion of the canal and reach her wharf in our city this evening or to-morrow, and be ready to resume her regular trips again on Monday morning. We would advise those bricklayers and plas- terers who may desire lime, &c., of the most superior harap, to call at Godey & Co.’s kilns, on Hock reck. See advertisement.
