Arrests.

--The following arrests were made yesterday by the civil police: Louisa Espey, a white female, for keeping a disorderly house in Jail Alley; Joseph Johnson, a white man, for stealing a piece of cloth worth $40, the property of James A. Dismore, and John T. Smith, a young man, native of Richmond, for trespassing on the proprietor of the Columbian Hotel and acting suspiciously. The last part of the charge was held to be valid, because the prisoner had obtruded himself into a room which he had not engaged, and had in his pockets a varied assortment of trunk and door keys, some of them of curious make.
