Police Court, July 16th. --A number of cases were adjudicated yesterday by the Head of Police, a brief summary of which we subjoin: Elizabeth Osborne, a colored female, was charged by John Thompson, a slave, with having a lot of stolen corn in her possession. The defendant introduced as witnesses on her behalf two sleek-looking darkies. John Scott and wife, who live at the corner of 1st and Byrd street, and inhabit a mysterious house, around which the Head of Police said he had often seen very gay-looking equipages standing. It transpired that the female Scott was a fortune- teller and that the gay equipages seen from time to time around the domicil were filled with personages of as equally gay sort, viz: flash women of the town, who went to have their fortunes told — as if their fortunes needed any telling. The State's witness, (Thompson,) inveighed against the Scotts, stating that they connived at the reception of the corn by Osborne, and that the female Scott had caused th

Fred'k MeSwecney, and Patrick Sullivan, charged with making a lascivious attack on an aged negro woman, named Eliza, belonging to Mrs. Taliaferro, at a house on Main street near the Old Market, were called up, and the material facts being elicited from the Provost Guard, who made the arrest, they were committed for trial before Judge Lyons. The parties were dressed in the garb of soldiers, and did not have a very prepossessing look.--Jos. Mann, a free negro, was arraigned for the larceny of a mare and mule colt; and Wm. Maxwell, free, accompanied him, being required to answer for buying the animals, knowing them to have been sto
