Mayor's Court.

--An individual calling himself Thomas Monks, claiming to hall from Worcester, Mass., was arrested on Friday night, in the neighborhood of 7th and Byrd streets, as a suspicious character, and for running away when the watchmen approached him. He declined to give any definite account of his business here, and the Mayor, thinking that Monks ought by all means to be provided with a cell, gave him a passport to the city jail. A bystander casually observed that he ‘"didn't much blame the feller; he would run himself if he seen the night-watch coming after him."’

Elizabeth Martin, the free negro woman who was punished with ‘"twenty"’ day before yesterday, for assaulting Charles Tyler, received another dose of ‘"thirty" ’ yesterday for using vulgar and abusive language to Mrs. Catherine Tyler. Thornton, slave of Edw'd. Green, was properly punished for indecent exposure in the Second Market: and Marcus, slave of Warner Shelton, of Hanover, was awarded thirty lashes for threatening to assault Benj. Osborn, a white man.
