Tyler, of Henrico county.--These circumstances partially shifted the charge from S. to that gentleman, who was then called upon to explain how they came into his possession.

Mayor's Court. --There was no case of engrossing interest before the Mayor yesterday. That of Mr. James P. Tyler, Clerk of the Second Market, charged with huckstering, was the most important. Mr. Tyler brought down from Nelson county a box of fowis to be sold for the benefit of Mrs. Jas. M. Bowen. This fact was established by a letter from Mrs. Bowen, which was produced in Court. In that box were five chickens belonging to himself; these he took out and gave two of them to a negro in tMr. Tyler brought down from Nelson county a box of fowis to be sold for the benefit of Mrs. Jas. M. Bowen. This fact was established by a letter from Mrs. Bowen, which was produced in Court. In that box were five chickens belonging to himself; these he took out and gave two of them to a negro in the market to sell for him. The box of fowis he gave to Mr. R. F. Kirby to sell for Mrs. Bowen. This is the whole case. The Mayor fined him $20 for violating the ordinance against huckstering. John, a small free negro boy, charged, with selling chickens, supposed to have been stolen, was sent on to the Hustings Court to be bound out to some responsible person. Warner, slave of Ro. F. Trower, charged with having a gold watch and chain, supposed to have been stolen, was discharged, and

Violation of an ordinance. --James Leber was arraigned before the Mayor yesterday, charged with buying turkeys in the Second Market to sell again in the same place. It was proved by Mr. James P. Tyler, clerk of the market, that Leber bought the turkeys and paid for them, but had not offered them for sale. These facts were admitted by the accused. The Mayor imposed a fine of twenty dollars upon Leber, and expressed his determination to enforce the ordinance in every similar case brought before him. He said that the hucksters in the markets were buying up articles of subsistence brought there, paying high prices, and thus raising the price upon consumers. The Council had now an ordinance before them to deprive every huckster of his privilege of his selling there if detected in a violation of the rules governing the markets. So far as existing ordinances permitted him, he should endeavor to prevent this nefarious business hereafter.
