Those Overcoats.— The countenances of the patrolmen who brought back their over coats to the central station early yesterday morning were a study for a painter. The overcoats themselves were a study for a tailor. They came immediately under the critical inspection of a dismayed Superin tendent. They were objurgated by com missioners. They were a blarsted lot." It is fortunate for the police that Monday night was stormy. The defects of the new envelopes were instantly detected by the driving rain. One stirring commissioner settled their fate at eleven o'clock Monday evening, without waiting for the issue of yesterday's Times. He met Corporal L in the rain, and congratulating hint upon his admirable shelter during the storm, was met with the assertion that the wearer "was comfortably wet," and an investigation showed that a seive would have been about as good a protection. These "waterproofs" were streaked with rain water inside, and some of them showed evident signs of pre vious wear. The Board of Police Commissioners will give the subject a thorough investigation, determined that the men shall not be swin dled: and, in case the complaints are well founded, the coats will be returned to the dealers. The charge of outrage made againstJDr. Perez will be examined furtaer on the fourth instant. Returns of Fixes by Recorders The Six Recorders have made the following re turns to Administrator Lewis, for the week -ending October 28, 1871: First District, Recorder Houghton.. .$285 50 Second District, Recorder McArthur. 174 00 Third District, Recorder Leclere.. SI 50 Fourth District, Recorder Billings. 101 00 Fifth District. Recorder Parsons.... 16 50 Sixth District, Recorder Campbell.. 12 50 Total............. ...$629 00 Coroner Creagh, during the month of October, held sixteen inquests and thirty views—total, forty-six. Twenty-live were males and twenty-one females. Twenty one were white and twenty-five colored. Two rabid dogs were killed by policemen in the first precinct yesterday. Had one hundred been killed, the news would have been better. __ Double.— George Randolph was locked up last evening, and two serious charges written opposite his name—arson and sus picious character. He is charged with setting fire to a house way out on Cana! street. Citizens residing in the neighborhood of Eighth and Chippewa streets, as with one voice, favor a stringent dog ordinance. They give up all hope of sleeping until re lief. in some form, is given tLem. Com plaints are both loud and long, but not half as loud as the bark of an unnumbered lot dogs thereabout. A Lease Under Difficulties.— On the eighteenth of October Antonio Varselio, by false representations, sold an establish ment on North Market street to J. B. Ba jurin for $625, the vendor pretending to own a lease for the premises, which lease was included in the sale. When Bajurin attempted to take possession he was op posed by a third party, who flatly and truthfully stated that Varsello had no right or authority to dispose of the lease. Where upon Bajourin entered suit before Recorder Houghton, and the case now goes to the ■Criminal Court, Varsello charged with •having obtained money by false pretenses. Four schooners loaded with tropical fruits, from Ruatan anil Utilla islands, ar rived in port within the last three days, yet prices are too high for poor people. Iteury Cunningham, the Sixth District liurglar. was found guilty of some crime in our Criminal Court and sentenced, on the fourteenth of March, 1870, to serve two years. It seems that he did not remain there until he got a ticket of leave. How is it that he has not been on a jury Of such stuff are jurymen made. Charge of Embezzlement.— Francisco Elstav. alias Thomas, was arrested by offi cer L. Taylor, on a charge of breach of trust and embezzlement, made against him by Jose Maria Benito, No. 17 St. Philip street, who says, in his affidavit, that on Wednesday, the twenty-tifth ultimo, he en trusted for safe keeping to the accused, at a coffeehouse on St. Philip street, near Char tres. a silver watch valued at fifteen dollars, which Franciseo failed and refused to re turn. Recorder McArthur remanded the latter to the Parish Prison in default of one hundred and fifty dollars bonds. Criminal Court— Judye Abell— Ella Davis, who had pleaded guilty to the charge of assault and battery, was lined one dollar. Ellen Edenbrigh, convicted on the twenty-fifth ultimo of larceny, was sent for ten days to the Parish Prison. Virginia Butler, convicted ot larceny, was sent to the Penitentiary for one year. Judge Abell stated when passing sentence, that even for petty larcenies, whenever committed by servants, be will inflict the most severe punishment which the law per mits, as he wishes to purge the city of faith less servants. P. J. Hussey is charged with having stolen from Mr. Samuel Warner, on the twenty-fifth of July last, a pocketbook con ainiug two hundred and sixty-six dollars a Unite! States currency. The jury re lrued a verdict of not guilty. 'Officer William Campbell, second pre dict, was acquitted of the charge of as 'siting and battering Mr. Bauman. *t 'at the Cemeteries.— Superintendent c *lger has detailed a sufficient number of tj^'k cernen to attend at the several ceme Jss to-day to preserve order. Officers s at the different car stations to see od order shall bo obser vcd. THE CITY HALL. (Me of the Market Revenues. Yesterday at noon the Mayor held an auction in his parlor for the sale of the market revenues accruing for the month of November. As there was a combination among the bidders to put down the prices, the amounts realized were not so large as they were last month.

By the President of the United States, proclama tion: The process of the seasons has again en abled the husbandman to garner fruit, suc cessful toil and industry have been gener ally well rewarded: we are at peace with all nations: tranquillity, with a few excep tions, prevails at home, and within the past year we have in main been free from ills which have elsewhere affected our kind. If some of us have had calamities, there should be occasion for sympathy with the sufferers, and resignation on their part to the dull of the Most High, and rejoicing to the many who have beeu more favored. I therefore recommend that on Thursday, the thirtieth day of November next, the people meet in 'their respective places of worship, there to make the usual ac knowledgements to Almighty God for the blessings He has conferred on them, and for their merciful exemption from evils: invoke His protection and kindness for their less fortunate brethren, whom in His wisdom He deemed it best to chastise. In faith whereof I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of state to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this twenty-eighth day of October, in the year of our Lord, eighteen hundred and seventy one, and of the independence of the United States the ninetv-sixth. By the President: U. S. GRANT. Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State. The Oates Burlesque Company. Mrs. James A. Oates will appear at the Academy of Music next Monday evening witli her burlesque oi»era troupe, of which the Memphis Appeal says: Mrs. James A. Oates has come to stay. The public does not care how long. She has won golden opinions, and as she rises in tlie scale of excellence, so she should in that of good taste. She is original, and is therefore charming. She rarely overacts or exaggerates her idiosynocrasies. Rude ness is removed from her rule, and she be comes a magnet so full of electrical force that she holds spell-bound listeners and spectators. She addresses the eye as ef fectively as the ear. A tacile actress, she is also a charming cantatrice. She is well supported, and her troupe, we believe, de serves the popularity whieh it has achieved here and elsewhere. The repertoire of the company is to be expurgated of objectiona ble matter, and we are therefore well pleased that Mrs. Oates will appear to morrow evening and each night during the week. Freight Charges by Kail. We think there must be some mistake in the statements made by the Jackson Pilot as to freight charges: The Jackson and New Orleans railroad can heat the world in its exorbitant freight •barges, and the public should order their freight by river to Vicksburg in preference to receiving it over this road. We will give two b ills of freight in proof of what we as sert. Fifty-five boxes and eight kegs from Bos ton to New Orleans, seventeen hundred miles by sea, $15 45. Same goods from New Orleans to Jackson, one hundred and eighty-four miles, $41 05. Another charge on a little over 400 pounds of molding from New Orleans to Jackson, $9 81. These charges are enormous, and we trust that our merchants and individuals will make through rates for their goods or stop their patronage to this road. Elections Next Tuesday. The following elections will be held next uesday, and will close the important elec ions of the present year: Maryland—Election of governor. State officers, and legislature. Massachusetts—Election of governor and legislature. Minnesota—Election of governor. State officers, and legislature. Mississippi—Election of legislature. New Jersey—Election of governor and legislature. Illinois—Election of congressman at large. New York—Election of State officers and legislature. W isconsin—Election of governor. State officers, and legislature. Nebraska—Election of State officers, if new constitution shall have been adopted at the election September 19. Virginia—Legislative elections. Short Postage. We understand that some of the business houses of this city are in the habit of send ing out to their correspondents letters weighing four or five ounces, attaching to each only a thiee cent postage stamp. Tlie following extract of a letter from the Post ofiiee Department, dated Washington. Oc tober 27, relative to insufficiently prepaid letters, is important to the entire letter writing community: When you have reason to believe the postage on a letter was intentionally in sufficiently prepaid, or when it is evident from the weight of a letter or package that the insufficient prepayment was intentional, the letter should be detained, and the writer notified of its detention, if practicable, otherwise it should be sent to the dead let ter office. The following cabin passengers arrived here Monday night on the North German Lloyd steamship Frankfurt, Captain Barre. from Bremen, via Havre, Southampton and Havana: Mr. C. Chapman. Mrs. Gemlre and daugh ter. Mrs. Catherine Heidenliein. Carl Schultz and family. H. Bennet, C. Barry. Mrs. Auge. of New (irleans: G. W. Beissner, Mrs. Frederick, of Galveston; Mrs. W. Weiss and daughter, of Berne: Julius Schroder, of Bremen: G. Ptundstein. of Baden: Rob ert Ostermeyer, of Hamburg; Wilbelmine Bremer, of Holstein: Ignatz Meyer, of Prus sia: Clara Kindler. of Potsdam; W. Wend roth. of Havana: Mr. and Mrs. Sagory. Mr. Hezol. Mr. Norman and family, Mr. and Mrs. Carreau, B. Ralleau. of France: French Opera troupe. The Frankfurt had six hundred and thir ty-three steerage passengers, with few ex ceptions representing nearly all the princi palities and distinct governments of the German and Austrian empires, some from Denmark, some from Switzerland, some from Poland, many from France, and a number returning to New Orleans, Mobile, Galveston and St. Louis. The Vidalia Herald says of the health of that town: The yellow fever in Vidalia is abating, but it seems to be only for the want of more subjects. At times we hear of a new case, but they are getting scarcer each week, and we nope soon to report our city in a healthy condition. Since our last issue but one death has occurred—that of our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr. J. Weis, who died last Friday, and but three new cases have been reported during the present week. The Vidalia Hefald says of crops and business: The crops we need scarcely speak of for we have already informed our "readers in pre vious issues of our paper ot their condition. The worms have made a complete sweep of the cotton fields, with scarcely any excep tion. and this, together with the backward ness of the plants, reduces the chances of, we think, even a half crop. Business, owing to the prevailing epi demic in our little city, and the poor pros pect for anything like a paying crop, has entirely ceased. We might say that there is not enough doing to support one store. TIME OF ARRIVAL AND CLOSING OF THE MAILS. By New Orleans, Jackson anil Great Northern Railroad—Ca: tun, Memphis, St. Louis.
