He was fined 85.20, and served him right. Calvin Brown assaulted and battered Mary Etlen Dade, for which eccentricity he was held to bail for Court. Michael Roach was charged with “ liftin certain female apparel belonging to Mrs McCor- mick. The ‘was not sufficient to sustain the charge, and Michael was accordingly discharged. John Straining was accused of assaulting Philip Reiter, but the proof was insuficient, aud Jonn was discharged. George Brown was accused of stealing an accor- deon. Gi e's musical taste was a thing for his fort, inasmuch as he was required to give bail for his appearance at Conrt, where he will doubtless be required to play 2 new tune.

Before Justice Donn —Y esterday, two Corpora- tion cases were tried, which are of interest to those engaged in the Auction business. ‘They were haved 2 warrants issued by Justice Thompson of the Fifth District, against C. R. L. Crown. The first charzed him with blockading the side- walk at the intersection of C street and Pennsyl- vania avenue, on the 18th inst. The only witness in this case, swore that if the street was blockaded on that occasion, it was at a different point from that indicated in the warrant; the goods of the anctioneer being on the corner of Louisiana ave- nue and C street. The other case was a charge in the following language: +The said C. R. L. Crown on the ith day of Jnne, 1559. and divers other days, did sell oods, wares, and merchandise at, and in the Fitin Distric t, without having first obtained a license to do so from the City Register.’ The defendant prodaced his license, in which his siace of business is located in the Fourth Ward jut the law under which the license is su to be issued, says nothing about a definite locality in any Ward or District. The decision of the Justice has not becn rendered. The question in the last case is: “TIas the Register the nght under the law, to issue such a license defloing any dis- trict in which an auctioneer shall sell?*” Before Justice Williams.—Timothy Minor was aceused of saying ungallant words in the presen :e of a young lady, and threatening a whole fami! with unheard-of terrors. He was put under secu- rity to keep the peace for six months for his belli- cose threats, and fined $3.16 for the ungallant words, and left the police office rather taken down by this suunmary application of the law. 1. B. Lvans used profane words to Mr. Schaffer, and then of his rasbness; in consideration of which act of penance he was only fined 81 55. Jos. Gerhardt, a lager-beer dealer, was accused of se}ting spirituous liquors and malt beverages on the ‘Sabbath day. He was fined #25 and costs. Mr. Ben F. Hilliard was had up by Mrs. Ben, ona ce Warrant, she swearing that she was in bodily fear ef her lord and master; so Ben was placed under security to keep the peace. Tue Orenrnc Trots over tne Pivey BRancu Trottixc Counse.—Yesterday, the above track was opened with two trotting matches—the first by two green fillies four years old, untrained, and neither being trotted on a track before. The time made was uncommonly good for a new track, and the race was closely contested, the winner having nothing to boast of. Indeed. so questionable is it as to which is the fastest that bape = ee desire to see it repeated at an early day, and we hope the public will be indulged by the spectacle ofa new match.

The case was given to the jury as our report closed. Tux Stevsex Moxument.—A meeting of dele gates from the several Steuben Associations of the country has been called for the first day of July next, in New York city. The delegates are to meet In the “Steuben Halle,” in that city, and have sundry interesting matters to dchate and de- cide upon, not the least among which are the ——— of “What shali the material of the Sten- Monument be,” and ‘* Where shall the same be erected?" The Washington Stenben Associa- tion held a mecting, as we understand, last night, in which delegates were araace to attend the convention, and who are instructed to present to said convention certain propositions in connection with the proposed Steuben Monument. One proposition is that the money already collected never be ne toany other use thac that originally designed. Another is to urge upon the convention the eminent propriety of selecting the city of Washington as the site for the proj monument. Mauy and good reasons are gned for this Lene warepre which will doubtless have their weight in the convention. Washington, think the delegates, is the only proper ground whereon to erect this testimonial of a nation’s gratitude to the heroic Steuben. Here, they say, are placed monuments to Wash- es Jefferson, Jackson. and other compatriots of Revolution, and here should be placed, as Worthy of the position, the Steuben Monument. The delegates are also instructed to urge acall to the Germans and others of those cities which have not vet held Steuben festivals upon the propriety of doing so as seon as convenient. We nnder- stand that Mr. Frederick Schmidt, formerly editor of the National Demokrat, in this city, and Mr Killian, the pbonographer of the agricultural bureau of the Patent Office Depertment, were selected as the delegates. A Marrtace took place yesterday afternoon in Wesley Chapel, corner of Fifth and F sts. Long before the hour designated for the important event, every seat was filled, and many persons bad to stand for waut of such accommodations. ‘The happy pair were the Rev. T. Banks McFalls, a pe A of the Baltimore M/E. Conference, and Miss Lou. E. Gobright, the only child of Mr. L. A. Gobright, of this city. The vig ate was per- formed by the Rev. Dr. Morgan. This was un- usually solemn and impressive; but it was no sooner over, than many male as well as female friends rushed anxiously forward to otter their congratulations and ** the envious kiss to share.’’ The new-made ‘‘man and wife” left Washington tn the 6 train of cars, for Baltimore. From what we heard among the assembly, we know that ss prayer accompanies them for their future wel a Cross-FiniNc.—Last week, Daniel Barry, a man with one leg, well-known to the residents of the west portion of the Fifth Ward. quarreled with P.

Barry bad warrants issued against the Sullivans, pi they were arrested by Otticer Harrover. The case was laid before Justice Mills, who after hearing the evidence, dismissed Mr. Sullivan and nela Mrs, Sullivan to bail for Court. The Sullivans then obtained a peace warrant against Barry to make biu eb security to preserve the peace. which secu he was unable to obtain, and was of necessity committed to jail.

They were taken on a writ issued by Judge Merrick, of this Di t, on proof of service and escape made be- fore the court in Washington county, Md_, under the act of ISth Sey uber, 1850. The Judge here had no power under the law to try the question of the alleged freedom of the parties. Tus Sevexth Waxv.—This police district being without a magistrate, the business is trans- acted mostly by Justice Donn, who, yesterday, disposed of the following cases—arrests by Officer Chipley: Josephine Mills, using profane and in- decent lan; e in the street; fine and costs, $3.27.

Bovy Founp.—The Alexandria Gazette, after copying our article of yesterday, in regard to the missing Dr. Hiram H. Goodrich, says: ‘The body of a man wes found in the Alexan- drm canal, in Alexandria county, somewhere about the 27th or 25th of May. The body was well dressed, and there was a heavy stone tied by a to the neck. It had been in the water, apparently, for some time. The Coroner held an inquest upon it, and the jury rendered a verdict of ‘death by drowning.’ The finding of the body, &c as noticed in the Gazette on the Ist of this month.”* Corrvs Cartst!.—This day is interesting to Catholics and Episcopalians generally us the com- memoration of the institution of the feast of the “ Adorable Sacrifice and Sacrament,”’ in which our Saviour vouchsafed to perpetuate his oblation on Calvary, and to fill the souls of his believers with his spiritual food .
