The Mayor will have before him this morning two negroes, lately arrested here who were expelled from Manchester, named Richard and Jordan Smith. The people of Manchester, who ought certainly to know, regard them as dangerous fellows to the peace of a slaveholding community. In the possession of Richard Smith was found a number of letters from abolition localities, plainly showing his sympathy with that vile class of persons. These were seized by the Manchester authorities and detained. As a sight of them would throw some insight on a case now pending against them before the Mayor, he requested a look, which one of the Manchester authorities promised to gratify this morning, by the production of the documents. May-be the revelations therein contained will serve to get the Smiths into the service of the State. Things tend in that direction.

The Manchester Smiths. --The Mayor has discharged Richardson and Jordan Smith, the Manchester free negroes, who were arrested as suspicious characters. In doing so, the Mayor stated that there was not the slightest evidence against either of them in the letters referred to on a former examination. Though Richardson Smith was acquitted of being a suspicious character, he was held by the Mayor on another charge, the nature of which we are not aware of. We learn that Jordan Smith, on being discharged, was told by parties from Manchester that if he put his foot on that side of the river he would be swung up instanter. He has been regarded as a tr, and though free has a slave wife, the property of Mr. Fleming Morgan, who owns a dozen of his children. So convinced is Mr. M. of his honesty, that he has aided Smith in making application to be sold into slavery, so that he might remain near his children, Mr. M. intending to buy him.

Court proceedings. Mayor's Court, Wednesday, Jan. 14. --Jordan Smith, a negro man, was arraigned on the complaint of Gastavne R. Howard, who charged him with stealing a lot of cloth and ready made clothing from him, at sundry times during the past six weeks, amounting in value to $1,000, according to present prices, Mr. Howard testified that the negro occupied a room in rear of his stern, and though he did not find any of his goods in the prisoner's apartment, he was led to suspect him from the fact that he had access to the house, and could have taken them if disposed. Persons may have taken some of the goods from his counter, but his orders to his hands for the past two months had been such that an act of the kind could hardly have been attempted without detection. The case was continued for further proof until Friday, the prisoner meanwhile being sent to jail. Lucy Boasman, Mary Peters, and Lucy Smith, free negroes, and Ellen, slave of Miss. Luvin a Hall, were arra
