At thecommencementof the trial, the American Consulprotected in writing,but his protest was laid uponthe table, aud the Judge intimated to him that bebad better leave the Court, "lhe Consul asked toknow whether he was persona'ly responsiblefor what he was saying, or where he shouldlook for the responsible parly.

Desperate Affray ?a terrible affair occurredin Monterey, Alabama on Wednesday eveninglast, in which Mr. Jos. \ eldell came to his death atthe hand* of Br Longmire. A difficulty sprungup between Lougmireand Mr. Robert Yeldeli. jr.,when the letter raised a chair to strike LongmireMr. Jos. Yeldeli, desiring to prevent a difficulty,raised another chair to waid off the blow, which,in receiving the rhock, glanced off and accidental-ly struck Lougaiire. Longmire left for home, andshortly afterwards returned, armed with a pistoland bowie knife. He walked up to Jos. Yeldeliand asked if he was mad with him, to which Yeldell replied, "No. I have been your friend all thetime,"or words to that effect. Longmire repliedby tellingYeldeli that he was a liar. After somefurther angry words, Longmire drew his pistol andshot twice at Veidell, the last ball taking effect inhis heart. He then lushed on his victim with hisbowie knife and atabbed him in the neck.?Mobile(Ala) Tribam.

Mild Punishment for a Terrible CrimeTwo men, named Cassils, have been sent to theState Prison for two years for placing obstruc-tions upon the track cf tha Galena and ChicagoRailroad. Two years' imprisonment only for attempting au indiscriminate murder of scores ofpassengers, when an individual for attempting thelife of a siugle person will be imprisoned doublethat time. The wretch who atirmpts to throw arailroad train from the track does not deserveever to mingle again among civilized people. Heshould be treated as a madman, and shut up forlife.

The London Quarterly Review baa an article,detailing the peculiaritiesand modes of operationof the London thieves, a mtmeroua though not arespectable portion of the populationof the greatmetropolis. We extract from it some particularsthat will instruct as well aa Interest thereader:

The largest of all tbe classes of thieves, andthat which employs the most extensive range ofintellect, of age, and of dress, ii the pickpocket.From the first-rate thief, who 'work*' about thebanks for six or nine months until be gets a "goodthing,' to the miserable urchin who filches a pock-et handkerchief, bow vast a descent! Althoughstrung together by the common thread of crime,and pursuing, as itwere, the sameline of business,a duke could not, and certainly would not, lookdown upon a street-sweeper with half the hauteurthat the leadingrogues do upon the Fagin led nrchin who replenishes with bandanas tbe stalls ofField lane. The popular notion of swell mobs-men is far wide of the truth. It is supposed thatthey may be at once recognised by a certain ultra-foppisli manner of dressing, and 8n excess of jyw-eiry, whereas the aim of a professor of the con-veying' art, is to go about his occupation unobserv-ed, for to beknow n tothe police i» to be disappoint-ed of his booty. He has his clothes built by themost correct tailor, and gets himself up as muchlike a gentleman as possible; tbe necessities cf hisart, it ia true, oblige him to carry a coat over hisarm in all weathers, but so may any veritable manof fashion, without creatingsuspicion. Still thoughhe manage to pass free in a*erowd, and frequentfashionable assemblies without beingsuspected bythe public, the professed thief-catcher is rarely tobe deceived by appearances. As tbe hunter markshis quarry by peculiar signs known only to hiscraft, so the detective can at once ascertain whe-ther thefine gentleman, walkingcarelessly along,is 'wrong,' as the slang 'term is, or a respectablecharacter

The principal sign by which a thief may be dis-tinguished in any assembly, 13 the wandering ofhis eye. Whilst those about him are either list«n-iug to a speaker or witnessing a spectacle, his or-bits are peering restlessly, not to say anxiouslyaround. When the thief-taker sees this he knowshis man. One of the detective police who attendedat the layingof the foundation stoneof the Dukeof Wellington's College, thus explained to us thecapture cf a gentlemanly-lookingperson who waspresent on that occasion:

"If you ask me to give myreasons why I thoughtthi* person a thief the moment I saw him, 1couldnot tell you: I didnot evenkuow myself. Therewas something about him as about all swell mobs-men, that immediately attracted my attention, andled me to bend my eye upon him. Ho did not appear to notice my watching him, but passed oninto the thick of thecrowd, but then he turned andlooked towards the spot in which 1 was?this wasenough for me, although I had neverseen him be-fore, and he had not to my knowledge attemptedany pocket. I immediately made my way towardsbin;, and tappinghim on the shouluer, asked himabruptly, 'Wlntdo you do here!' Without anyhesitation, he said in an under tone, 'I 6hould uothave come if I had known I should have seen anyof you.' 1 then asked him if he was workingwithany companions, and he said, 'No; upon my word

.1 am alone;' upon this I took him eff to the roomwhich we had provided for the safe keeping of theswell mobsmen."

That same gathering afforded another exampleof the cowardice of the swell mob Immediatelythey came upon thaground fourteen of them werenetted before they had time to try the lightness oftheir fingers. They were confined in a singleroom with only two policemen to guard them, yetthey never attempted to escape, although theirapprehension wasjillegal, but waited patientlyuntil the crowd had dispersed. When the doorswere thrown open they immediately made a rushlike so many rats from a trap, and never stoppeduntil they were well out of the sight of the po-lice. The rapidity with which they bolted wascaused by their desire to avoid being paraded before the assembled constables, a measure which isoften taken by the police, in order that they mayknow their men on another occasion. If, howev-er, the swell mobsman's eye is forever wanderingin search of his prey, so also is that of the detec-tive, and instances may occur when the one maybo mistaken for the other. At the opening of theCrystal Palace, a party of detectives distributedamong the crowd, observed several foreignerslooking about them in a manner calculated torousa their suspicions. These individuals wereimmediately takeu into custody, notwithstandingtheir strongand vehement expostulationsmade invery good French. When brought before the in-spector, it came out that they were Belgium pelice,sent over at the request of our Government tokeep a look outon the maututo sujeia of th?ir ownnation.

'J he swell mobsmen proper generally work to-gether at races in gangs of from three to seven,those who " cover," as it is termed, makinga rashto creatc pressure, in order that the pickpocketmay use his hand without being noticed. In takingwatches it is generally supposed that the ring iscut by a pair of wire nippers. This is rarely thecr.se; thieveshave no time iu operating to use aDyother implement than iheir own nimble liugers,and the ring of the watch is wrenched off with theutmostcase, as the purchase upon it is very great.A police magistrate, of large experience, suggeststhat the way to baffle the fraternity would be tomake the ring work upon a sicicel Inferior classesot thieves work iu smaller "schools/' say ot acouple of women and a boy, whose little hand iscapitally adapted for the work. Whilst one wo-man pushes, tue lad attempts the pocket of theperson nearest him, and the third "watches itoff,"as it is called ; if she observes that the youth's at-tentions hive becu noticed, she immediatelydrawshimback with a "Ha, Johnny, why do you pushthe lady so?" Look to your pockets, good reader,whinyou see forward little Juhnnies about?espe-cially at railway stations. Such places are thechief resort of this class of pickpockets, and wehear that theatres and churches,just as the peopleare coming out, are favorite haunts ?the womencreating a stoppage at the door, and the childrentaking advantage of it.

Women's pockets are much easier picked thanmen's, tor the reason that the opening through thedress to it is larger, and it hangs by its weight,free of the person. In a crowd the operation iseasy enough, as the general pressure masks themovementof a depredator's hand; when the victimis walkiug, a more artistic management is requir-ed. The hand is inserted the moment the rightleg is ihrown forward, because the pocket thenhangs behind the limb, an essential condition forthe thief, as the slightest motion is otherwise feltupon the leg The trowserpockets of a man arenever attempted in the but in a crowd, as a: arace, he caube cleaned out by a school of mobsmenof everything in his possession, with little fear of?detection. Tne first step is to select their victim;to do this demands some caution; and if they can-not see whether he carries a purse, and if theyhavehad noopportunity of watching bim pull itout, they will feel all his pockets. The "Spotter,"as he is called, passes his hand across the clothesseemingly in the most accidental manner, some-times twice when he is in doubt. Tne fact thatthere is booty being ascertained, the confederatessurround him, and wait for the coming off of arace Just as the horse is at the winning postthere is a rush forward of the crowd; of this themobfmen take advantage, while the victim, per-haps, for better security, keeps his hand over hispocket, but invaiu. tAt a critical moment the man behind tips his hatover his eyes, instinctively he lifts up bis hand toset it right, and the next moment his pocket ishanging inside out. Few betting meu who attendmuch at races, have escaped being thoroughlycleaned out. It is rarely that Londoners are robbedin the streets; they are too busy, and move en toofast. Country people form the chief game of thelight lingered gentry; as they stare about they in-stantly betray themselves to their watchful ene-my, and in the midst of their admiration at every-thing about them, fall an easy prey. The thief insearch of purses or handkerchiefs, always makeshis way, trout like, against the stream. Thtyr leokfor a temporary stoppage la tbe.stream o(people,and a horse fallen iu the highway,an altercationbetween a cabman and bis fare, a tight, a crowdround a picture shop, are all excellent opportunelie*, of which they instantly take advantage.

The May-meetings atExeterball, however, formthe most splendid harvests for the pickpocket. Ifthe members of the various religious denomina-tions who floek thither escape the bustle on thebail siaira, theyare waited upon with doe attentioniu the omnibus. _________

The Jamei Tlieer Improvement, under the directionof Mr. Mc'Jance, is progressing as rapidly as all thecircumstances will permit, and when completedwill prove of incalculable value to theshipping in-terests of the city. Let the channel be once wide-ened and deepened sufficiently to admit large siz*vessels to come to and depart from our port, andthe mercantile interests will be vastly increased,whilst Richmond itself will be enriched. VVe needand musthave anoutlet for the vastamountof west-ern freight that will be poured in upon us by thecompletionof the greatrailroad lines now reachingtheir arms in the direction of the Ohio river; andas water carriage is vastly cheaper than any othercan be, we should not hesitate a moment to pressJames river into service and make that the tcreathighway to the Atlantic coast. If Richmond cauget noaid from the General Government by whichto remove all obstructions to her greatness andprosperity, she should lay hold of tbe enterprisesingly and alone,and from her own resources putit through as speedily a3 possible. The businessmen and property holdf-rs of the city cannot failto see the importance of the improvementnow be-ing made, and though tocomplete it may aost themone or two hundred thousand dollars, tbey shouldwillinglyexpend that amount and consider the ia-vestment well made. A community, to becomegreat and prosperous, must rely upon its own

i trengtb. Ifaid is offered from othersonrces, itshouldeot be rejected, but because others withhold theiraid, the one in need should not give up in despair.Fersevereni-e will accomplish much if properly di-rected, and now that our city has taken the righttrack, we trust she may never look back until shehas opened a deep channel to the Atlaatic ocean.Complimentary Benefit toMrs. Davenport ? Thoseof our readers who have bad the pleasure of en-joyingthe rare dramatic feasts set forth at the

theatre for thepast two weeks, will doubtless bemore than gratified to learn that they are to havethe opportuaity, this evening, of evincing theirhigh appreciation of the presiding genius, Mrs.Lizzie Weston Davenport, by attending her bene-fit, and helping to swell the vast concourse thatshould assemble on that occasion Maay warmfriends of the drama, on learning that the engage-ment of this lady was drawing to a close, havetendered her a complimentary benefit, which shehas accepted?and to make tnp evening pass mostpleasantly, has selected that rich and humorousplay, ''The Heir at Law," as the first piece in theprogramme. Need we make any appeal to playgoers, ladies and gentlemen, to" induce them toturn out? Need we recall the rare displays of his-trionic talent made by this gifted lady, on theboards of the '"Marshall 1' to ensure her a crowdedhouse? Surely, nothing of the sort can be neces-sary, for our readers have always been too readyto do justice to the talents of a lady, when oppor-tunity has been afforded them ofdoing so. But,in addition to the inducements held out by the an'nouncementof Mr. and Sirs. Davenport's names,another is offered in theperson of that wonderfuicomedian. Mr. Jefferson, who sustains a favoritecharacter, and who will succeed in convulsing hisaudience in laughter before the entertainment clo-ses- The ladies, we are sure, will bear this eve-ning in mind, and remembering that it may betheir last opportunity of seeing Mrs. D. in "TheHeir at Law," let her see by their spaikliag eyesand pleasant smiles from thedress circle, that theyproperly appreciate her high order of talent, andare ever ready to encourage those of their ownsex who have given unmistakeahle proof of do-serving it. For particulars we refer to the bills,and again urge our play goers to turnouten masse,and pack theold Marshall with an intelligent au-dience.

Fillmore Meeting.?Notwithstanding the incle-mency of the weatherlast Tuesday night, a largeaudience assembled at the African Church, to lis-ten to an address from Judge Edward Bates, ofMis»ouri, an old line Whig, in behalf of the claimsof Fillmore aud Donelson on the people of theUnion for the high positions to which they havebeen nominated. The Judge made a calm, logical,argumentative speech, in which he reviewed allthe political topics now agitating the country, andclosed about half past 11 o'clock, by a warm ap-peal for the preservation of the Constitution andthe Union.

liuu. John M. Botts was next called upon, andresponded briefly. Most of the time occupied byhim was in reply to the remarks made before theDemocratic Association, last Saturday, by Gov.Wise and lio. G. Scott, Esq He defended himselffrom the charge of traitor and abolitionism, withwarmth, and uefended tho Constitution aud theUnion. Ho was continuously interrupted by ap-plause.

We expect to see a variety of liuespecimens at the approaching fair, and amoug themtome rare aud valuable poultry.

Making Hay must be a profitable business to ourfarmers, and it is therefore astonishing that so lewol them got up their swamp lands and turn it intomeadows Unlike thecorn crop, the hay requiresbut little labor to prepare it lor market, ana as itmay be produced in aoundauce from waste lands,now overrun with bamboos and briars, it is a matt«r of astonishment thatso little attention is paidto that money making crop.

Robbery.?Robert Wells and Jupiter, two slavesla the service of JohnD. yuarles, were examinedbefore theMayoryesterday morning, on the chargeof assaulting, beating, and robbing Joe, slave toA. Thomas, on Saturday night last, and remandedto jail for trial by the next Hustings Court, forfelony.

Jones; and George,slave to Burwell Jones, were further examinedbefore the Mayoryesterday, for breakinginto androbbing the etore of Sampson Jones last Saturdaynight, and senton to the next term of the HustingsCourt for felony. The evidence points to Johnand Werter as the prima operators, and to Georgeas a mere tool in their hands.
