A strug gle ensued, io the midst of which the officer struck his elbow (or "funny bone") against a bagatelle table in the room, which caused a peculiar sensation' with which most every one is familiar, and which completely dis abled him for a minute or so. In the mean time Richardson grappled with the fellow, who struggled manfully . to escape, grad ually working himself into the street, and finally got clear of the clutches'ef the officer," leaving the greater ; portion of his shirt (be , had on no coat) in the hands of the disappointed : deputy, -.While the struggle between Richardson and the pri soner was in progress the Deputy Marshal shouted; lustily for the police, but there happened to be none of them in that par ticular locality at the time,' The alleged 'mail robber is represented to have been a powerful man, and as slippery as an eel.

Donas Rogers, colored, had a bearing be. :f ore Justice Harriss, yesterday afternoon, on the charge of larcen. i It appears that Donas, who is employed on one of the go vernment fiats, was strongly suspected of having stolen the sum of $6 75 ' in hard- earned "greenbacks" from one of his fel-low-flatmen. He stoutly ' denied i the; soft impeachment, but the victim 'failed to be convinced. Two. or three ..searches of Donas' person .were made, without, effect, but finally.-the engineer of the steamer Orlando, which does the towing of the flats, conceived the happy notion that the sly fellow might have "footed the bills," or, in other words, bid tbem in - his shoes. He therefore took Donas shoe and. gave it a tap on the deck of the boat and ' out came the identical $6 75. This was a "clincher,' and a warrant was immediately secured for his arrest The above was substantially the evidence before the Court, and;; the defendant was ordered to give bond in the sum of $200 for his appearance at the next term of the Criminal Court, in default of which he was lodged in jail, ' 'There Was another case of larceny against the same ' defendant, in which he was charged with stealing a bucket of provi i sions from another of his 'fellow fiatmen, and which added j one more . $100 to his bond. . v , . - L .

H. -Yan Bokkelpn, ; Esq., President of the Chamber of Coramerce spoke briefly, introducing Col. Waddell. : - r, " t The address was devoted, as requested io the Invitation, mainly to the discussion of commercial,; and marine matters, r and was an able and Intelligent review of the conditionpast and present of these im- portant features of business, . Tbe arrange ment and matter of the , address,' together with the splendid manner in Which it was delivered, deeply ; impressed the audience and added bo little to the already high and enviable reputation of the': Bpeaker as an orator. . , , . i In the outset CoL Waddellxemarked that to consider all the subjects suggested would require more time than would be consumed in any ordinary speech, and he would con fine himself to the foreign commerce of the country, and, in connection with it,thecon dition of our merchant marine: i Briefly re ferring to our inter-State commerce and the legislation necessary to. the cheapeBing of transportation from one part of the country to anblher.be proceeded to give bis audience much valuable statistical information con nected with our foreign - commerce, conr trasting it with that of Great Britam.depre catiog the policy of depending too largely upon that country for the transportation of freight and passengers across the Atlantic,, instead of providing all' the necessary faciK itiea of our own, by which a vast deal of money that ia now , paid to , foreign , ship owners and others interested could be kept in our own pockets, besides furnishing re muneration to honest labor,: , He alluded to the decay ia American navigation, and proceeded to show by facts and figures what has tended I to . bring it about, that decay having - its commencement , in the substitution of iron steamships for sailing vessels' : ; He alluded ; to ' the action of the late Export Convention in Washing- ton,, which demanded of Congress : such legislation as would give relief to our com mercial marine. He gave some very: in teresting facts in reference to the proposed steamship line to Brazil, which he declared was "an attempt to give government aid to build up the commerce of the country to open new avenues for it to get back again our proportion of the carrying, trade pf the world, and to erect again our, pros trate industries." . . He read from a report presented for his committee to. the. House, two days before the Exporters' Convention assembled, which showed what' would, in his opinion,1 have been accomplished by the passage of the bill last winter, or will be by its passage next winter, as it will be pressed again upon the. attention , of Congress, stating, in concluding this portion of the subject, that, in' addition , to every other consideration, he had reason to believe that the establishment of these steamship lines would' directly and'' largely add to the business prosperity ' of ' Wilmington and of the State of North Carolina: ' The Senate had already passed the hill once, and would do it again, and, he , was satisfied that the House would pass it next winter. He be lieved it to be a wise measure, and , would continue to advocate it and all similar measures' looking to the ' development of any of tbe great interests of the country , i In conclusion, Col." Waddell assured his audience particularly thb business por tion of it that he would always be glad to receive Suggestions from the trade, organi zations of the city upon any matter, affect ing the commercial welfare) of the country, and especially of this port, upon which it might be his duty to vote.' . r, .
