In the northern and .western cities there is scarcely aday passes without disclosing a case of scaqdal in some form. In the south such things are vejry uncommon, and if mere mention is made of such, the whole population is interest ed because of the fact. There has just been brougty to light in this city a case in which the eyes and ears? of the public have not reached. About six weeks ago an apparently aged gentle man appeared at the house of a lady living on market and plinth streets, and engaged board and lodgings for a lady whom he represented to be his wife, A few days after the lady appeared herself unaccompanied, and made the assertion that she was the wife of the gentleman, and gave her natrite as Mrs.- Jones ; and her story seemed so complete that not a doubt was entertained of anything unusual until she gave birth to a child. Nothing was yet expressed, although it appeared reasonable that under the circumstances the father would have been near. Not so. however A few days after, he made his first visit to the house since the arrival of his supposed wife, re mained but a short time and went away, as total ly unknown as before. Weeks elapsed and things went well, until last Sunday morning some occasion demanded the landlady's presence in the room of the woman, when to her astonishment she saw; the little babe in' the bed alone the mother ;had left during the night, and nothing has ?since been heard of her. The mother of the babo is said to be young and decidedly good looking, besides being unusually intelligent. Her manners while at the house were the most polish ed, and ber general demeanor that of an educated woman. She reports herself from Long Creek in this county. The reported father is an old man, dresses well, of good appearance and wears a grey beard, and is supposed to be in the city at the present time. The child is very stout and well formed, and luckily has fallen in good hands, and where proper care will be taken of it. This fe but another case of shame and crime to be -added to the long lists already recorded. A girl ringed; a child parentless, and perhaps the whole future of a family clouded by one indis cretion" aside from the path of rectitude and vir tue. No punishment should be too severe for the .old hoary headed villain that employed" his villainous ;nature to blast forever the happiness and, peace of a girl so young, accomplished and beautiful. Mayor's Court, Tuesday before Com missioner Shackelford. To open a Mayor's court and to adjourn one you must expect, dear reader, to hear something of negro stealing, else the affair will not be valid. It is a simi qua non without which a Mayor's court would not be a court or a, nigger a negro. Mary Ann Childs, a very slick looking girl who is soon to be married, charged Lydia Ann Guass and Lizzie Frink with robbing her of twenty nine dollars that she had accumulated to get the welding toggery .with. Her story ran, that she had been in the city buying and on her return was called away just as she intended locking her change: in a carpet bag, and finally did lock the bag, but it seems the next morning she found the money gone and it is thought it was taken out by one of these girls who were in the hyuse. Liz zie lives with her when at home and numbers of chances were given her to take it before, but she did not take money or anything else, so she stat ed. Lydia made the same defence, and told a straight story about her part of it. The case was turned over to Justice Conoley, who entered more fully into the merrits of the case and found that the intended of " My Mary Ann," had re posed his bones near the carpet bag on the night the money was missing, and the justice therefore discharged the girls, advancing the opinion as he did so that the affianced bridegroom might per haps be the recipient of the money. Mary Ann was of course beside herself, at the supposition. Mtstebiocs Disappearance. The sudden disappearance of Mr. J. W. WilJunson irom nis place of business on Monday afternoon last, a notice of which appeared in yesterday afternoon's edition of The Hebald, is one of the strangest character. He was left in the store by his uncle Mr. J. Wilkinson the broker, while he went out to attend to some business. When he returned he found the young man gone, and so far has been unable to find the least race of his where abouts.! The door was left open, the safe locked but the-money was left exposed in the windows as usual. Mr. Wilkinson was heard to complain of a severe headache during the day, and his ab sence for a time caused no very great surprise; but the continued absence during yesterday lft his friends very uneasy as to his whereabouts. He was a young man, and in company with an other was about opening a dry goods business at at No. 54 Market street. It is earnestly hoped that something will be learned of him to-day. .' --' ; ' ' - " " ' L.'..U?0 Acksow LDOEME5TS.--We are under obligations to Mr. Clement the Purser of the W P Clyde and Mr. ; Prfce -of the Twilight for late 1 files-of New .York papers, in advance of tho mail They report the weather has been very heavy during , the. entire; passage.

Jenkins, the manager, arrived by the steamer Twilight yesterday morning, and are engaged 'for the opening of the Theatre in this city tomorrow evening. These performers have been selected by Mr. Jenkins from the principal cities of the North, and are said to embrace talent of no or dinary merit. Two of the ladies are well-known in theatrical life, and. although years have passed since their appearance before a southern audience still a guarantee is felt that it has only rendered them more perfect in their line. Mr. Jno. Davis is to be the stage manager, and with his lady, and Miss Charlottee Cramptou, together with others who will be before the public here during the season, will ensure most perfect performances. The Inqcest. The jury of inquest held over the body of the negro girl, met yesterday morn ing, and returned a verdict " that the deceased came tc her death from some cause unknown to the jury." An examination of her person by some females from the vicinity failed to show any marks of violence. She was about twenty years of age, greatly emaciated and very near bare of clothes. The impression now is that the girl died from sickness and want of care and nourishment. She was not identified. The body was reported to the post quartermaster for burial. The steamer Commander arrived early yesterday evening. Her advices have been anticipated by other arrivals noticed in yesterday afternoon's edition. Mr. Silas N. Martin has again placed us under obligations for valuable information for which we return our thanks. Hotel Arrivals. CITY HOTEL, OCTOBER 17 '1865.
