Discharged. --George Bond. the Engineer of the steamer Logan, and — Booth, the foundry man, who were arrested some weeks since on suspicion of attempting to fire the boat, were carried to West Point on Saturday, where they underwent an examination before a magistrate, and were fully and honorably acquitted. Capt. Wm. Leigh, C. S. N., and A. Dudley, Jr., appeared for the State, and A. J. Crane, Esq., of this city, for the accused. It is due to the two men named to state the above fact. We are informed that their respective occupations at the time of the alleged firing of the boat was such as to preclude the idea that they would willingly engage in any such nefarious undertaking. Witnesses of high standing vouched for both. No damage was done to the boat, and it has been suggested that as there were on board at the time of the alarm sixty or more soldiers, some of them, in smoking, might have carelessly let drop enough fire to produce the small amount of damage that was done

oney for the goods when sold, but professing his readiness to pay it over to Farr at any moment. Farr, it seems, gave Morgan no authority to get his goods and bring them over. Morgan gave as a reason for doing so that he supposed Farr had been captured by the Yankees; that finding the sack and a letter bag in the hands of another party he took possession of them, and, as a friendly act, made sale of the goods, in order that Farr might realize their value. Gen. Humphrey Marshall and A. J. Crane, Esq., appeared for the accused. After exhibiting the return of sales, which were made out in the name of James Farr, and proving the good character of their client, they took the ground that no offence had been committed, as no concealment had been made of the goods, they having been sold for Mr. Farr, to whom the proceeds of sale would be paid at any moment. After denying the larceny, they contended that no identification of the goods had taken place, and that even if a larceny had be
