Receiving stolen property. --James W. Eddins, who lost an arm by a premature explosion of a cannon while firing a Fourth of July salute on the Capitol Square, some years ago, was before the Mayor yesterday on the charge of receiving a quantity of iron stolen from the Gallego Mills, knowing the same to have been stolen. A private watchman at the mills testified that the iron was missed, and he subsequently found it at the foundry of Eddins & Brannan. He saw a white man and a negro drive a wagon into the foundry yard. Mr. Eddins stated that, on his return from Manchester, he found the iron there, and knew nothing about its purchase. He informed Mr. Hall, the superintendent at the mills, that it was there, and that he could have it. He had given orders to his watchman not to admit anybody into the yard. The Mayor adjourned the case over until eleven o'clock to-day and admitted Mr. Eddins to bail in the sum of two hundred dollars for his appearance.

Arrived there on a Monday, and called on Mrs. Ould thing here on Saturday night. I followed a week or ten days afterwards; went to Manchester, and came over to Richmond in a day or two. She proposed to me to take the rd should we ever meet we would meet as friends. Told her I was going back to Manchester, and started. To prevent me from going, she caught hold of me, and said she niece, a young lady of sixteen, to see Mrs. Ould on my way from Alexandria to Manchester. Did not do this.

the Trustees of Manchester to borrow money on the credit of the town to build a bridge across James river at Richmond. Preparations are now being made to construct it at once. Able and experienced of this bridge is to make toll rates as low as possible. There is an earnest wish all through Manchester for the establishment of a free bridge. This is no doubt desirable, but, to the Trustees, doet present practicable. It has been held that if a free bridge were to be built by the town of Manchester, the increased value of the property in that town would more than pay for the bridge. This mact proportion to that use. It should be stated, however, that the Treasury of the town of Manchester gains nothing directly by the building of the bridge, and only gains indirectly by the advantaThe projectors of this enterprise consider that competition is not to be feared by the town of Manchester; for should the existing bridge charge a less rate of tolls than the new one, the very object
