Receiving stolen goods.

--Joseph Rose, mate of the sloop Empire, was before the Mayor yesterday to answer the charge of receiving fourteen pads of cotton yarn, valued at $280, knowing the same to be stolen of Messrs. Barker & Woody. Mr. Woody testified that he purchased the cotton of Mr. Smith, on Cary street, and ordered it to be sent to the store corner of 17th and Main streets. The negro drayman took the yarns to the dock and delivered them to Rose, who afterwards denied knowing anything about them. The investigation was adjourned till this morning for other witnesses.
