Receiving stolen Goods. --Elizabeth Woodcock, a white female, was arraigned for trial at the bar of Judge Lyone's Court yesterday, for the crime of receiving three rugs and two pieces of carpet, stolen from Richardson & Co. It will be remembered that the negroes who committed the larceny of the above and various other articles, which were conveyed to Woodcock's house, on Council Chamber Hill, were long since punished, by order of the Mayer, for their share of the transaction. The prisoner was defended by Mr. E. Y. Cannon, and prosecuted by Mr. Tazewell. The jury, after hearing the evidence, retired to consult of their verdict, and remained out till 4½ o'clock, at which time they returned into Court and announced their inability to agree. They were then turned over for the night to the Sergeant.
