Thomas then to obtain a warrant against Nolies, who ‘was arrested and brought before Justice Walter for trial. The trial came off at half-past 6 o'clock last night—Gol. M. Thompson appearing for the complainant, who proposed to waive the imme- diate matter of the trial, provided the witnesses for the defence would consent to a cross-exami- nation in relation to the matter of their affidavits against Thomas of ee ‘ruse of the untinished rooms about the capitol extension. He stated that the force of those affidavits, if not broken by that cross-examination, would lead to the dis- missal of bis client, and deprive him of his means of subsistence; and that if the witnesses were willing to submit to the cross-examination the assault would be waived. Mr. Nolles, the father of the defendant, stated that Lis son was brought up toanswer a charge of assault and battery, and he should not consent to have any other course taken than the law Pro- vided. Let the other side proceed to the trial, and they could ask any questions they chose in relation to the immediate case for which the de- fendsnt was called to account. The case was then gone into. Mr. Thomas, being sworn, refused to answer such questions as were propunded, or to give any evidence at all; so the case was dismissed. Henrietta King and Sam Riggs, colored, were brought up to answer a charge of breaking open and cee ioe an empty house belonging to Chas Walter, Esq. It seems that the introders had made application to rent the said house, and had been refused; so they proceeded to break open a shutter with a hatchet, and take Possession; they then entered upon an extensive business in the house-renting line, and when their Presence was discovered all the rooms in the house were occti- pied, and a flourishing business of a certain kind was going on therein. The parties were commit- ted to jail for a further hearing. Officer Vermil- lion, who arrested the parties, found a valuable sword-cane on the premises, with a silver plate marked A. A., and evidently belonging to some white gentleman visitor. It is at the office of Justice Walter, who will deliver it to any party proving ownership.

Davis, who waited upon . Henderson, to ascertain the cause of the failure. Gen. H., upon hearing the complaint, summoned Prof. Scala, and the blame was fas tened upon two of the men who were to lead the band, and who had absented themselves. Gen Henderson ordered a full investigation to be held this morning. The Infantry on the return of their committee decided to celebrate the occasion by a collation, which accordingly took place at Benter’s, at + p.m. Here some two hours were spent in dis- cussing the goed things spread by their host and in the interchange of good feeling, so that the Infantry were by no means cheated out of a hand- some celebration of their twenty-first anniver- sary. Tue Usvercrovnn RatLroap—WasuincTon Brancu.—Sunday night, Captain Mills, with Watchmen Degges and Burkhardt, succeeded in capturing fugitive slaves, the property of George Morton, Esq., of Prince George’s county, Md. ‘The runaways had al: 's been kindly cared for by their master, and it was apparent that they had been tampered with and uced away by some white agent of the Underground Railroad.
