Mayer's Court.

--This well known institution is getting below par in the amount of interest it evokes from the public. Martial law, or some other. "patent demon," has driven all of the law-breakers into reticent, if not dignified, retirement. Pirates, highwaymen, burglars, cut-throats, pick-pockets, et id emne genus, are at a discount, owing to the presence of the Provost Marshal's guard, whose persuasive influences are backed up by the presence of glistening bayonets. "Discharged," was marked at the end of every one of the following entries on the Mayor's book yesterday:

Mrs. Ann M. Dixton, threatening to cut with an axe Mary Campbell, wife of Michael Campbell.

Frederick Smith, employing a wagon on the streets of the city without a license.

Thomas Ducke, allowing his two sons, Charles and Richard, to throw stones in the street.

J. R. Blankinship, permitting his son, Thomas, to throw stones in the street.

Reuben West, permitting his son, John, to throw stones in the street.

Mrs. Chas. Green, permitting her son, William, to throw stones in the street.

Mrs. Chas. Green, permitting her son, William, to throw stones in the street.

Catherine Williams, assaulting and throwing dirty water in the face of Henrietta Miles.
