--There being no case on the docket ready for trial, no jury was summoned to attend Court to-day. Frederick J. Miller, heretofore found guilty of stealing a horse from John B Davis, was sentenced to one year's imprisoment in the Penitentiary. The finding of the jury in this case was accompanied by a recommendation to Executive clemency. James Slater, convicted of the murder of Wm. Clarke, in Butchertown, by shooting him with a pistol, was sentenced to ten years imprisonment in the Penitentiary. In this case counsel took an appeal to the Supreme Court, and time was allowed for it to be heard, the prisoner meanwhile remaining in the city jail. Wm. Blankinship, tried yesterday for the murder of Geo. Crow, was acquitted. Mrs. Mary Ann Piggott, (or Pickett,) three daughters, and one son, will be before the Judge to- day, (Wednesday,) at 10½ o'clock, on habeas corpus. The parties were arrested in Charles City county a few days ago, by order of Gen. Wise, for disloyalty.
