Mayor's Court.

--With tailors, Monday is always a blue day; but with the Mayor and his efficient and vigilant auxiliaries, it is a very busy one, the accumulated debris of two days unremitted exertion having then to be disposed of. The cases mentioned below, of minor importance, however, embrace most of those to which the Mayor's attention was called on yesterday: Bill McDonald, the fugacious convict from the Penitentiary, having been apprehended by the night- watch Sunday night, was ordered to be returned to the scene of his future usefulness. Doubtless are the reader peruses this, the erratic William will have been in receipt of a salute from a cowskin and have one leg ornamented with a ball and chain.--Dan Larragan, charged with stealing a plain gold ring from H. A. Pearce, proving to be a soldier, was committed to the tender mercies of Gen. Winder.--Bob, slave to Taylor & Baptist, was ordered to be tickled to the extent of 30 stripes, for stealing a ham of bason and eight bottles of ink from his masters.--Bernard Denning, accused of trespassing on Sarah Roach, while in a state of intoxication, was acquitted.--Tim Lynch and Jno. McClellan, two soldiers, accused of disturbing the public peace by fighting on Main street, were sent before Gen. Winder.
