Nothing of interest transpired in police conrt this morning. Thanks to the Bteamer Liberty No. 2 for late Arkansas pApcrs. , The county jail contains forty-eight negro and twelve while prisoners.

John Martin, sr., was knocked down ertid robbed of $150 and a gold watch, near the First Baptist Church, Cholsea, late Wednesdoy night. . v Matters in police circles were, quiet last night. There were no shooting er stabbing affrays, and all the arrests were on trivial charges. Coroner Cotton looked blue this morn ing, wnetuer tue t.ct tuat tor several days no cold corpuses havo turned tip had anything to do with it we are unable to state; but he was very blue, and failed to suggest " fluid." The Right Eev. Dr. Feeban, Catho lic Bishop pf this diocese, is expected in Memphis thi evening. On Sunday even ing, if the weather i, favorable, he will consecrate the new Catholic cemetery on the Hernando road. A negro woman named Susan Jones, residing on Mr. Samuel Berry's place, near Grenada, Miss., murdersd her two children one seven and the other four years of age last Tuesday night. She was arrested and committed for trial. Robert Bradley, " a colored cuss from Africa," was released from jail re cently, just ia time to Fote for Beecher. Yesterday in the exercise of his peculiar tilents he stole $84 from Mrs. Mary Dunnigan. He was committel by Esquire Miller for trial. To-morrow evening unother meeting of the Board of Aldermen will be held, at which it is understood the city offices will be filled. Aldermen are compelled to dodge in unfrequented alleys to pre vent office-seekers from tearing the but tons off their coats in the general eager ness to have a few moments' private con versation. Jo.

Thomas Pruilt, who nearly killed Walter Simmonds with a poker in the Adams street engine house, early Mon day morning, was discharged from cus tody yesterday, no one appearing to prosecute. This is a fair sample of the almost perfect immunity with which crime is committed in Memphis.. Judi cial investigations are rapidly becoming the veriest, most disgusting farces.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, held Wednesday night, the following report, submitted by P. J. Mulvihill, Esq-, rela tive to establishing an Irish Emigrant Aid Society in connection with the So ciety, was adopted: Your Committee, appointed at the Inst meetrhg of this 8ociety to report on the practicability and the bent means of establishing, under the control and superintendence of the Society, an "Irish Emigrant Aid Association," do now, after exchanging and harmonizing their views, make tiiis, their report, and aav ; , Fist That it is their opinion that toe establishment ot suco an association is entirely practicable-; and that, if established, it would prove highly bene ficial to the surrounding country, to this city and to those ofour race whom it might be the means of inducing and of aiding to settle around us. v Second Your Committee, though aware of the stringency of the times and the great stagnation of business, still believe it possible, through a little exer tion on he part of the members of this society, to obtain all the funds that may be requisite to set up and establish this proposed association, and give it efficiency and vitality when so started. What is needed, first, is money, or that which may be converted into moty, and the only coneidoration is how is this money to be raised? Your committee believe that if those members of this sooioty who are old citi zens of this place, and 'who are well known in the surrounding country, would but interest themselves in the matter, the rjlanters of Tennessee, Mis sissippi and Arkansas would themselves contribute largely "and, liberally, by vol untary donations of money and lands The prima want of the Southern country now is that of security to person snd prop erty. The emancipation of the slaves has brought into direct ana dangerous col lision the black and white races, whose instincts, recollections aud animosities but give point to tho opposition of thnir Interests. One of these classes has la bor, the other has capiUl; the two aggravating - those ' exciting causes nnnnot but bo productive, for years to come, of great disorder and confusion. For these reasons wo believe the planters of the country will, from motives oi interest, g.ve tuia project, material help, and aid us in our endeav ors by their hearty sympathy. Already many of them have made your Committee most liberal and encouraging offers of land and money; and the newspapers, hearing that this society had under de liberation the feasibility of -erectirfg an Emigrant Aid Association in Memphis, gave us in advance a pledge of their warmest support. The peoplo, in fact, need immigration. It is their only hope to get into the country honest, indns trious and peaceably disposed laborers, whose influence is indispensable to their prosperity and socurity. The presence of these is a guarantee of peace, and at no time in the history of this country has there been so favorable an opportunity for the poor of other lands to effect a lodgment, and get a permanent borne fn the South at so little cost and exertion as at this present time- Your committee are persuaded, that if solicited, the State of Tennessee would powerfully second the exertions of this society. She has an agent in New York city now to divert the tide of immigration to her bordors, and if Irishmen are but true to themselves and their people, we believe they will be furnished whatever may be needed of land and money andinfluenCe to give vigor and efficiency to the proposed so ciety. Io our own city much may be done by means of lectures, balls, parties, etc., to raise the funds required. And yoor committee dd not hesitate to sn'y that if each of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick does his duty in the premises we can make this ideal projection. of the present a living, efficient and active re ality. ' Your Committee would further say that the establishment of this" enterprise should 'be begun at once. Now is the golden time for action to serve our people.' Land and means can- now be easily had, which in times of order and security we cannot hope to obtain at all, except at high prices, which perhaps we may not be able1 to pay. We should, therefore, work now. Your Committee have nothing at this time to say about the government of this proposed association. Indeed what we do say is said in haste, and we hope the society will pardon us for our negli gence. Respectfully, Jas- Flahsrtt, ( P. J. MtJLVIflILL, D- H. Hates, . Committee. The following resolution was also adopted, after which the meeting ad journed until the ICthinst.: Retolved, That the report of the Com mittee made rezardini the feasibility of inviting the emigration of "Irishmen" to the Southern country, be banded to the Committee on Charter, in order that they may at once enter upon the duty of obtaining the same, so that our Society may become a positive and permanent organization Ths Circus, and Mekaoerie- Yester day afternoon the circus and menagerie combination so extensively advertised, gave the initial performance, followed by another last night The time not having been positively announced, the attendance was smaller than it would have been otherwise. There are eight or nine cages containing animals, some of which are seldom found in traveling ex hibitions. Prominent among them is a large Bengal tiger, one of the most beaut tiful of its species ever brought to the country. TblSre are also ferforming lions, an elephant, llama, hippopotamus, an extensive display of the monkey tribe, etc., the whole forming an attractive col lection. As'ef old Dan Castcllo was at home in the ring, 'cracking -jokes by the score, and keeping the audience in con stant laughter- One of the most inter esting features of the circus is the eques triansbip of " Little Minnie," a pretty child only seven years old, who ride wiih a grace and daring worthy of mire mature years. She accomplished every thing usually given by female fi--trUnnti excepiing the hoop exercise, and is destiufi to rank foremost among tbe femMe riders of the world. M ile PanlinVecent!y arrived fin Knrope, i. a splendid rider; as is also Cbarie Fish, who docs a fine act bareback. The trapeze and acrobaiic feat are very gorri, and as a who:e. the "show" i e!l worth seeirg. Performances this afternoon and to-night. F08EIGX-30RX CITIZENS. I'ubllo MccfiuK at Cl'jr Hall I,ut AlgLt. r , A large number of foreign born citi teot assembled at City Hall last night to take action with reference to urging upon Congress the necessity of protect ing foreign-born citizens of this, country in their rights when abroad.

Hayes was appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the 'meeting. Tbe fol lowing were, finally reported through the chairman of the committee, Col- Magev ney, and adopted : - . Whereas, Reoent events in Europe call loudly upon the Government and the people of Ibe United States to de mand a speedy settlement of the question of the' protection due from the United Slate to its naturalized citizens ; nowP therefore, to give expression to tbe sen timents of the citizens of Memphis on tbi subject, be it Resolved, That k is the duty of the Government of the United Stales to afford the same protection to her natural ized citizens that aho does to citizens of those States born within this covenant, that no other position can, in justice to our paturalized citizens or with honor to our nation or safety to our people, be adopted. . f Resolved, That it is tho duty of our Government to recall without delay, any Minister, Consul, or other diplomatic, agent of our Government who has re fused r-neglected to use his lawful authority for the proper protection of American citizens traveling abroad- And Resolved, That copies of these reiolu tious, sigued by the Mayor of our city, tbe officers of this meeting and other citizens of Memphis, be forwarded to the President of the United States, the Presidnnt of the Senate ahd the Speaker of the House of .Representatives of the United States, and also a copy to our Representatives in Congress. A letter was read from Colonel M. W.

Every seat in the dress oirole and parquette of the theater was filled last night by ao audience anxious to witness Mr. Booth's " Richelieu," one of the few characters which have renderodhis name illustrious in dramatio annals. As in former years Mr. ' Booth is wont to slight certain portions of his personations, reserving his full powers for thote greater scenes forming the pivots of, the pray a.! This course forces enthusiasm to its bight when thus invoked, but by contrast renders tame other, parts : which should receive, equal - care. Few audiences, . trained like ours by con stantly witnessing dramatio representa tions, care to sit two or three hours in ordur to see two or three good points made; and to that extent the perform ance last night, as a whole, was not specially acceptable. During three acts Mr. Booth was seemingly careless and tame, seldom rising above commonplace, and causing the efforts of mediocre actors to rise by comparison. But In the fourth the actor was lost in "Richelieu," and the acting grand. It was in one scene what "Shy lock" was throughout, a -most finished, artistio personation, not even the slightest point being neglected. The drawing of the sacred circle around "Julie," the threat to launch against "Baradas" the awful corse of Rome uhould he dare advance within its pre cincts, approached a sublimity almost painfully impressive. This evening Shyloek will be repeated for Mr. Booth's benefit His portrayal of the character is one which will not soon be forgotten-To-morrow afternoon , there will be a Booth matine, the. doors opening atlj oclock. This is -intended particularly for those finding it inconvenient to at tond after night Thrf ' admission .to matinee is ono dollar; children, hslf price. Io the evening Richard III will be presented.
