Mayor's Court.

--His Honor had nothing before him yesterday of special importance. We therefore notice briefly some of the cases:

Thomas O'Nell, a Yankee paroled prisoner, arrested for being drunk and disorderly in the streets on Saturday night. Imprisoned for want of security for better behavior in future.

William R. Balleson, a blacksmith, was held to bail for being drunk and trespassing on the premises of Miss A. T. Hughes last Saturday night.

Richard Cary, free negro, for stealing a coat of A. A. Montero, was ordered to be flogged.

Wm. H. Thomas, forging passes to negroes not his own, is to be heard on Wednesday.

Wade, a slave, for stealing a trunk containing two watches, was sent on.

John Graves, alias Hollins, stealing $40 from James Fink, was sent on to the examining Court next Monday.

Watson, slave to Miles George, sent on to answer for stealing five pigs from Thomas Dance.

Wm. Mann, free negro, breaking into Captain Peyton Randolph's house and stealing an overcoat worth $400, was examined and sent on.

Catherine Conners, breaking the store of a man named Reynolds and threatening to burn his house, was held to ball.

Sarah, slave to Wm. H. Yestman, for having an improper pass and going at large, was heard by the Mayor and remanded to the Hustings Court for trial. She gave bail for her appearance at the time named.
