Severe fall. --Yesterday, a negro boy in the employ of Mr. John D. Quarles, fell from a scaffolding on 4th street, where he was at work, to the ground below, a distance of twenty feet, and injured himself badly. His head struck the bricks on the ground, cutting a frightful gash. After the fall, he walked to his quarters, and was put under the care of Dr. Cabell. None of his bones were broken, but strange to say, his tongue has become so completely paralyzed that he has not been able to utter a word.

e time to send the accused on to a called courte; but, for the purpose of getting additional evidence, continued the case until this morning. Rebecca Chandler, a white girl, was arraigned for trespassing on the premises of Robert Gary, and destroying his property. It appeared that to get to her residence she has to pass through the garden of Gary, and while in the act of so doing, a few nights since, with a companion, the couple were ordered out by Gary — a command which they refused to obey, and retorted on him by pulling up and throwing at his person a few turnips, and perhaps other vegetables. Thus was Gary's property destroyed by the erratic Miss Chandler. The Mayor announced his intention of sending her to jail, but it is presumed he did not. Edward, slave of John D. Quarles, was ordered to be whipped for throwing stones in the streets. It is a pity the Mayor did not have the power to order a good many of the white urchins the same punishment for similar offences.
