Mayor's court. --From among the numerous cases before the Mayor yesterday morning we cite the following: John Klos was charged with assaulting and beating Maria Klos, his wife. From the complainant's statement, it appears that, a few weeks since, they were married, but in a short while Kloss ascertained he had married a woman without any pecuniary endowments, and from that moment inaugurated a system of cruel treatment, which forced her to appeal to the law for protection. The defendant's excuse for the alleged bad treatment was, that the marriage had proved an unhappy one, because he soon afterwards had reasons to suspect his wife of inconstancy. In order to procure other testimony, the case was continued till this morning. Stripes were ordered to be inflicted upon Wallis, slave of Grace, charged with breaking and injuring the house of Joseph H. Woody by breaking a glass in his store window, on Broad street, valued at one hundred and seventy-five dollars. Fin
Mayor's court, yesterday. --The continued case of John Klos, charged with assaulting and beating Mary, his wife, was again taken up.

The witness stated that after Klos's wife had been dead a couple of weeks, he made the acquaintance of Mary, and immediately proposed marriage to-her. Some few days elapsed before the parties fully decided to live together, sometimes one party objecting and then the other. Finally, however, they got married; but three days afterwards Klos called in the witness and intimated doubts as to her chastity. As to his beating Mrs.Mrs. Klos, he (the witness) knew nothing of it. It was understood, however, that Klos had ordered her to leave his house, in consequence of which a personal collision might have ensued. The case was further continued till this morning. Miles Cary was summoned to show cause why he should not be fined for permitting a negro infant
t Perkins, charging him with stealing his watch. Subsequently, Graves placed the warrant in George D. Wootton's hands, and authorized him to obtain an interview with Perkins in order to compromise the matter before bringing it before the public; but that gentleman's efforts towards the accomplishment of a reconciliation failed. The Mayor, after hearing all the testimony, required security of Perkins, Graves, and a witness, for their appearance before him on Saturday to answer the charge of subornation and perjury. The case of John Klos, pending for some time on the charge of assaulting and beating Mary, his wife, and turning her out of doors in the night time, was again taken, up and finally disposed of by remanding Klos before the Grand Jury for indictment. Security for good behavior was required of Daniel Keyes, charged with assaulting and beating Mary Signiago in her own house. One or two other cases of trifling importance concluded the proceedings of the court.
