rom Washington, the Mayor submitted to the people a statement as to his interview with the President.--(Doc. 79.) The Worcester third battalion of Rifles, arrived at New York. They are commanded by Major Charles Devens, and number 266 men, officered as follows: Company A, Worcester City Guard, Capt. A. B. R. Sprague; First Lieut., J. Pickett; Second Lieut., O. Moulton; Third Lieut., G. Egra. Company C, Emmett Guard, Capt McConville; First Lieut., F. McCafferty; Second Lieut., M. 0. Driscoll; Third Lieut., T. O'Niel; Fourth Lieut.,--Melvin.--Times, April 22. A Mass meeting of citizens, numbering many thousands, was held in Boston, Mass., this forenoon, and was addressed by Fletcher Webster, Charles L. Woodbury, and many distinguished citizens. The meeting was to raise a regiment for Fletcher Webster, and was completely successful. The most intense enthusiasrn prevailed among the crowd. The meeting continued till nearly night. It was a remarkable expression of the entir

burgh. They were entirely in the dark as to their future movements, expecting, however, to go either to Baltimore or to Pennsylvania. During the day several medical officers called, among others a Dr. Coleman, Medical Director of Jackson. He was an Oily Gammon sort of an individual; very anxious about my instruments, quinine, etc.; but as we had either sent away or hidden these things, he got none. In the afternoon I saw brought in, a prisoner, one of the men of Best's battery--Sergeant Driscoll. Although no communication took place between us, I felt very certain that Banks's force was near at hand. From this circumstance all our hopes were much raised, but doomed to disappointment; for, as I afterward learned, he had been sent up here by the captain to purchase a wagon, not anticipating a rebel invasion. Brad. Johnson during the day became drunk, and ordered Brigadier-General Cooper's (United States army) house to be taken for officers' quarters. This, however, was not

whatever may have been the fashion in Caesar's day. Most of my company, though, were armed with knives of wonderful make and fashion. Truly they were fearfully and wonderfully made. They were manufactured at Howardsville, Albemarle county, in Driscoll's foundry. They weighed as much as five or six pounds, and proved very serviceable shortly after in hacking the blue-beef, of wild-onion flavor, with which our commissariat abounded One officer got Driscoll to make him a two-edged sword, weighiDriscoll to make him a two-edged sword, weighing, I suppose, twenty-five pounds, and a Bowie weighing half as much. The sword, which was ground to a sharp edge, was fully four inches broad, and Peter Francisco would have found difficulty in wielding it. When we fell back from Centreville to Bull Run, one of the hottest days I ever felt, it was pathetic to see this officer, with these two formidable weapons and a pistol to-boot buckled around his waist, staggering along under the rays of that July sun. He fell a martyr to his efforts to kee

I shoved a whole lot men out as I was about to shut my door. I looked it. Don't know one of them.

I heard him say that no one in Richmond knew his name. Patrick Larkin, sworn I know the man Mrs. Driscoll speaks of. He calls himself Burns.

st September. The principal witnesses to the affair were one James Clancy, a soldier, and another man whose name we did not get. They testified positively to the commission of the offence by the prisoner.--The affair occurred at the house of Mrs. Driscoll, on Cary street, and ended in the murder of Cronan, who, with Clancy and Coyne, had been drinking and got into a dispute as to which one of them should pay the bill Coyne ended the matter by thrusting his knife several times into Cronan's abdomen and breast. When the latter in his death agony staggered off and leaned against the wall of Mrs. Driscoll's house, Coyne called to him and said if he did not have enough he would give him more. He fell dead in a moment afterward. Coyne absented himself, and Clancy, making no attempt to escape, was examined for the murder, but the Coroner's jury exonerated him. He left town without the opportunity of pointing Coyne out to the officers. Returning on Saturday, he came across the murderer,

re mothers usually smite their young. The fugacious burglar fell, and being secured was carried to the upper station-house.--His wounds are by no means serious, and, for the sake of justice, it is to be regretted that they are not. The last act of Coyne, alias Finnoven, makes him a candidate for the Penitentiary. Prior to its commission, he was in a fair way of being promoted to the gallows, having been sent on by the Mayor to be examined for the murder of Henry Cronan, at the house of Mrs. Driscoll, on Cary street, several months since. Two weeks ago Coyne, alias Finnoven, enlarged his sphere of liberty by breaking out of the city jail, in company with half a dozen other ruffians. At the time of committing his last offence he pretended to be a teamster in the employment of the 14th Louisiana regiment. Our first acquaintance with the prisoner was about five months since, when he was arraigned before the Mayor for way-laying a young soldier and robbing him of several hundred dolla
