Mayor's Court.

--The Mayor's docket yesterday morning presented but few cases, and none of them were of an interesting character.

A white man named Lewis Lyneman was arraigned on the charge of receiving seven fowls, of the value of $50, the property of James B. Smith, knowing them to have been stolen. The witnesses not being present the case was continued till this morning.

Jasper and Elvira, negroes, were ordered to be whipped on their own acknowledgment of having stolen three silver spoons and one fork, of the value of twenty dollars in specie, the property of Wm. W. Crump.

Fines were imposed upon Mr. Wallingsford, for permitting his negro to go at large upon an improper pass, and Cook & Braner, for neglect in having their wagon numbered.

The charge against a little son of Mr. H. C. Wharton, about four years old, was very property dismissed; his youth prompting. His Honor to take no further notice of the offence than to admonish parents generally as to the impropriety of permitting their children to run about the streets.
