Arrests by the Police.
--The police yesterday arrested William, slave of Meredith Brown, for stealing $2.50 from J. E. L. Masourier.
The darkey was a runaway at the time.
Officer Gentry arrested a negro named Jim Robinson (one of Hatcher & Webster's drivers) for being implicated in the abduction of Mr. Persons Walker's trunk, and $200 therein contained.
In searching the premises occupied by him the officer found, next to the slats of his bed, a breach-loading flintlock musket, inscribed "U. S., North Middleton, Conn., 1834." It was evidently stolen from a Government wagon, or private soldier, and concealed for sinister purposes.
It can be reclaimed by the owner's going to the cage.

He entered West Point in 1834 and graduated in 1838.
His first duty as a soldier, after graduating, was performed under Gen. Scott in the Cherokee country of Georgia, which is the same district that is now occupied by the army he commands.

He was then chosen by the War Department of the United States as one of three promising young officers to be sent to France to perfect themselves in cavalry tactics.
His companions were Capt. Floyd Bell and Lieut. Newton, and they entered the military school of Saul Mur, where they remained until the fall of 1842, having acquired a thorough knowl

Bears and Bulls.
--The singular epithets of "bears" and "bulls" were first applied to speculators in stocks on the London Exchange about 1834.
When two parties contract, the one to deliver and the other to take stocks on a future day at a specified price, it is the interest of the delivering party, in the intervening period, to depress stocks, and of the receiving party to raise them.
The former is styled a "bear," in allusion to the habit of that animal to pull things down with his paws, and the latter a "bull," from the custom of that beast to throw an object up with his horns.
The British Emancipation Act, passed in 1834, provided for the liberation of about eight hundred thousand slaves in five years from the passage of the act. The sum appropriated for the compensation of the proprietors was twenty millions of pounds sterling, or not half the value of the slave, and in many instances not a third.
From the date of that act the agricultural produce of the island gradually disappeared, until it became a wilderness in comparison with its former fertility.
The planters never received anything but the interest of the twenty millions; and their once garden like estates have returned, like the negroes, to the freedom of nature.
The island of St. Domingo, before the emancipation of the negroes, produced seven hundred millions pounds of sugar, being more than all the rest of the world put together.
After emancipation, it was compelled to import that article.--Let us hear Napoleon: "Had any of your philosophic Liberals come out to Egypt to proclaim lib
