Mayor's Court.—This tribunal this mou
sing had but little business before it.
Applied for Loooitto.—Daniel H. Clark, a
White man, last night applied for lodgings,
and was, of course,accommodated. This mor
ning he was discharged.
ts bad Company and Drunk.—Andrew
Clark, a white man, was taken up by our vi
gilant Police, and deposited in the Lock Up
for safe-keeping. He was found in company
with a free negro, and if Mayor Ferguson
had the power he would administer stripes to
all such white men, which we think they
justly deserve. He promised, however, to
leave the city as soon as possible, and he was
permitted to depart in peace, averring that
he wOnld never show his august countenance
before our Mayor again.
Out after Hours and Drunk.—George
Uarrow, a free negro, was arrested last night
for being drunk and out after hours. Mayor
Ferguson reprimanded George very severely,
reading the law concerning free negroes who
are caught out after hours, and it was quite
amusing to see George tremble from head to
foot when informed that the law required the
administration of stripes; but giving him a
little wholesome, advice, he was apprized that
he could depart, provided he would fork over
one dollar. His hat was soon in his hand, and
he departed from the court room with a speed
that created much laughter.

Thu Celebration op Yesterday.—The
military of our city yesterday celebrated the
7Gth Anniversary of the surrender of the
British army, under the command of Lord
Cornwallis, at York Town, which terminat
ed our revolutionary struggle. Tho Soldiers
of the War of 1812, from different sections of
the district, mot in the City Hall, and passed
a preamble and resolutions, which we were
unable to obtain.
In ‘'big” Portsmouth a salute was fired in
the morning, and some seven or eight com
panies para led, six of which belonged to ‘biy
Portsmouth, numbering in all about three
hundred men.
We suppose our friend of the Transcript
will admit that they covered themselves all
over with glory. Three hundred men, all
told, and eight companies, not an average of
forty men.
Thhatre.—The greatest bill of the season
is offered to-night. Shakespeare’s great
Tragedy of “Hamlet,” with the entire Star
Company in jthe cast.
Tub Norfolk County Ferry was yester
day leased for ten years by James C. White,
Esq., of Portsmouth, for $9,600 per annum.
Mr. W’s business qualifications are well
known to our community, and we have no
doubt, that under his management many im
provements will be made. The lease takes
effect from the first of next month.
Court Street Baptist Church, Ports
mouth.—A protracted meeting commenced
at this place of worship last night, and will
continue during the week.
A Religious Revival.—We understand
that a religious revival of much interest pre
vailed during the last week at Kempsville,
Princess Ann county. Many persons have
professed conversion. It was conducted un
der the auspices of the Rev. M. M. Walk in
son, of Portsmouth.
TpST* The attention of our readers are in
vited to the new advertisements to be found
in our issue of to-day.
The members of the Aid Fire Com
pany, will see by reference to an advertise
ment in another column, that a meeting of
their Company is called for to-night.
jgSt?* Hog Fish are on the decline. They
sold for seventy-five cents per dozen this
morning in our market.

iu our Mayor's report of yesterday, was no^
C ipt. David or Rufus Croker.
