Mr. Justice Mulloy appeared on the part of the defendant, and pi not guilty to the charge. The witnesses for the prosecution were Messrs. Wheatley, Gardiner, Brown, and Hanson. Mr. Gardiner, having been sworn, stated that he knew nothing whatever of the facts in the case; bad not known the padlock was broken until informed of the fact by one of the police at the Capitol. Capt. Dunuington was the first man ‘who had communicated the fact to the witness Mr. ¥ atley testified that he was totally un- with the facts.

Brown and Hanson refused to testify at all, on plea that by so doing they might crimi- Date themselves. They were therefore excused from giving testimony The defendant called no witnesses, for the rea- son that there was uo testimony on the part of the prosecation to refute, and the case was therefore di<charged. Some outside facts have come toour knowledge ‘w connection with the above case, which may tend in-some manner to explain it with our read- ors It seems that the police at the Capitol are in- structed by the Commissioner of Public Build- ings to close the gates leading to the eastern yrounds jnst before the twelve lock m , and six o'clock p.m. bells, to keep the large crowd of workmen enczaged npon the Exten: works from going through said grounds, for the alleged Teason that they do not krep off the grass: and the said workmen, thinking the grounds are as much their property as that of the gees gener- erally, have kicked against the ral: vigorously ever since its establishment, and contended that the Commissioner bas no right to make the Soot to a certain class of citizens to 7 venience of another class.

Daring Saturday forenoon, Lieut. Green exer ised the command at the barracks in the field artillery practice, and fired several rounds of blank cartridge. At 5 o'clock p. m.,a detach- ment of thirty men, with Sergeants Riley, Hille- man, Buct ley and Bowie, left the barracks for a target practice, under command of Msj Robin- juson. On thelr retarn, the target exbibited the marks of some pretty good firing on the part of the men; no less than ninety balls having been Bred {nto it, quite a number of them striking the Balleeye It is thought this detachment will be selected as the guard for the sloop Cyane, now at Norfelk. which will be ready ina few days to seceive them ‘The present force at the barracks consists of Moout 100 ettective men, who are drilled daily by Sergeant Major Robinsen, in every branch of ma- tine practice - Erricimncy.—The efficiency of a number of the ‘Police im the eastern section of the city seems to excited jealousy among those in other sec- as we Lave heard some growting since last.
