Mayor's Court.

--Very little business was disposed of yesterday. We append the following summary:

William Hill, charged with breaking a window glass at the Old Dominion Insurance office, and resisting the watchmen in the discharge of their duty, was remanded for indictment by the Hustings Court Grand Jury.

Andrew, slave of William White, the negro arrested on Thursday upon the charge of attempting to pass a spurious one dollar coin on Isaac Jacobs, was discharged.

The continued case of Sylvan Jerraw and Noah D. Reid, charged with feloniously assaulting and robbing, by forced violence, David Currie, of a gold watch and chain of the value of $2,000, was further postponed till the 17th instant. [It will be recollected by our readers that Mr. Currie was knocked down by these men about half-past 9 o'clock on the night of the 9th instant, near the corner of Main and Nineteenth streets, and had his watch stolen from his pocket.]

A few other cases, involving the identity of negroes supposed to be runaways, street obstructions, etc., concluded the morning's entertainment.
