Jumispiction of Macistrarzs, Fees, etc.— uring the last session of Congress a memorial of the principal business men of Washington was presented to Congress, asking for an increased Jurisdiction for magistrates in cases of debt, ete , etc ; upon which a bill in accordance therewith “was reported to the Senate by the chairman of the District Committee; but coming, as it did, close upon the end of the session, it was, with many other bills, laid on the table, where it bas remained ever since. It is thought that some mention of the facts set forth in the memorial alluded to would be of service to the interests of its signers, and we accordingly give them below, first saying that the signers number several hundred of the business ™men of Wasbington: The memorial states that the laws of the District for the recovery of debts are detrimental by reason of the fact that the juris- diction of justices of the peace is confined tosums f and under, notwiti nding the claim mny uded on notes, be undisputed, or susceptible ot the most positive proof; and remedy is only to be sought im Circuit Court, at an expense and delay .

The mo: ial then asks of Congress the e of a law increasing the jurisdiction of magistrates to 100 in action of debt. and in trespass, damage. te id detinue, to $50, sr such sum as may be nd proper; also. to allow justices and officers ble fees in United States cases for riots, ts, breach of the peace, and all other United States cases. with such provisions, penalties, aud forfeitures as shall completely prevent malfeasance or over and improper charges of fees. The memo- tialists say, in conclusion, that the justices and ofilcers are compelled to attend to all United States business for nothing, except cases of felony. in which they are paid, to show the evil effects of the present state of things. They say that if an officer bas in custody a prisoner under a manda- mus, he bas to pay out of bis own pocket 5u cents to carry his prisoner to jail—a state of affairs which they wisely argue dges not tend to make officers vigilant in the suppression of riots and other breaches of the peac CHESAPEAKE and Onto CanaL—A general meeting of the stockholders of the Chesapeake asf Obio Canal Company was held on Thursday, at the office of the company on Four-and-a-half street, at which the Mayor of Washington, repre- senting the stock in the Canal owned by the Uni- ted States and the city of Washington, presided, and Mr. W 3.

A remarkable feature of bis stage is, that it presents nothing to the eye of thespectator in the least sug gestive of the ustonisbing and marvellous del: sions belonging to his art. Everything is beauti- ful, rich, elegant, and at the same time simple, being utterly devoid of tinsel and show. he Spectator sees nothing but a few articles of draw- ing-room furniture, tastefully arranged, amid which the magician moves with the ease and race of the rsa mag gentleman (as he really is) while performing.

CuimixaL Count.—Judge Dunlop —The Court met to-day at the usual hour, and took up the case of the United States agt. John McDowell, which the defendant was charged with an as- sault and battery with intent to kill Wm. Spen- cer. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty ‘The case of the United States agt A. R. Allen, for an assault and battery on Wm Foreman, was submitted by the defendaut’s counsel to the Court. This case grew out of an article in an evening pa- per, reflecting on the oiticial conduct of Oiticer Allen in making an unjustifiable arrest of a stranger upon the authority of a telegraphic dis- ‘ch The evidence having been heard, Mr. Allen came {nto court, and was fined $30. In giving judgment in the case, the Judge com- mented with great severity upon the unwarrant- able and monstrous action of the officer in arres ing a gentleman upon the mere authority of a tel- graphic dispatch which in no particular described the party taken into custody, particularly when be did not knew upon what authority it was based, and persisting in holding him in custody after he bad been vouched for by respectable citizens of Washington He also expressed his unqualified disapprobation of the act of the defendant in as- soulting a citizen who was innocent, for bringing his official malpractices to public notice. In concluding, the Judge remarked to the Di: trict Attorney that be thought the matter should be brought before the Circuit Court, ashe bad understood tne defendant was a constable of this county, and that rule should be entered against him to show cause before that Court why he should not be dismissed from oitice. Henry Reaver, a magistrate of Georgetown, D. C., convicted of malfeasance in office, was placed at the bar and fined $30 and costs.

He had assumed the name of HeenagJor the time, and offered to resist the guard. In default of $3.15 tine and costs he was sent to the workhouse. In consequence of death in the family of Justice Donn, the triais were conducted by the Chief of Police.
