Amasa Coff, of ALBXNANDRIA IvEMs —Th morning says: A heavy dog fight, participatea in by about five hundred of the canine race, Occurred at the corner of Pitt and Royal streets, about | o'clock Thursday morning. Finally, after vigorous exertion by the police force. who managed to surround them. they were dispersed. Five dogs and one developed ‘“spurp™ were left dead on the field. Uniuck- ily, the police had forgotten to bring along any izen sassengers.” Had they done so, they could have easily introduced a Trojan Horse” into the corpus of each dog, and saved all trouble. Several susceptible females were brought to the verge of mortal dissolution by the racket created by the assembling of the above dogs. Considerable excitement was ereated at the corner of Royal and Prince streets, about half past twelve o'clock last might, by an assault commitied by Randel Raney, the keeper of the saloon next to Liberty Hail, on the person of Mr. Baker. the clerk at the City Hotel. [tap- pears, from what we are able to learn, that Mr. Baker was proceeding quietly to his home, when he was suddenly assaulted and consid- erably injured, his whiskers and face being considerably damaged, before the arrival of the watch, who were lustily called for by at least one of the participants in the combat. ‘The steamer John Gibson, Captain Fulle: left here Thursday for New York, with one of the largest back freights yet taken out by that From here and Georgetown she takes ) barrels of flour and 1,000 bags of grain.
