Bad subject.

--Wm. H. Ross, free, was carried before the Mayor yesterday, for assaulting and beating Wm. Roberts, free. Ross is regarded as one of the most vicious negroes in the city, a former incarceration in the Penitentiary having, in no perceptible degree, tended to lessen his unamiable qualifications. The Mayor ordered him 39, committed him in default of $300, and ordered that he be enrolled as a member of the Chain-Gang.
