REPORTnRItL BRsvlTsIE.-Joaephine Ray. a notorious colored woman living on Bienville i. street, was sent before the criminal court by Re- d corder (;astinel yesterday, to answer a charge of carrying a pistol concealed on her person, which abhe drew on police officer Madden. By the omission of the word "no," an entirely c erroneous construction was given the paragraph I in yesterday's CaESCE.vr, alluding to the fact of a s i, gold ring having been found in the collection t r basket at Trinity Church on Sunday evening. It I should have read "a gold ring bearing no marks 6 e whereby to identify the giver." The temperature, yesterday. as shown by the ,i thermometer at C. Duhamel's. corner Bienville and Chartres streets. was as follows: At 6 A. H., 5: degrees; at 12 x., 66; at rP. n., 69; at 6 r. X., (,. ii Some burglars, by picking the locks of the n house, effected an entrance into the mansion of F n the Hon. Pierre Sou'e, on Tuesday night, and were it n in the act of plundering every portable thing of c value in the bed room of Mr. Sounl, who was It n sleeping. unconscious of any intrusion, when ag , old colored servant of the family, named Will! made his appearance, revolver in hand, and the t thieves made their exit. Mr. Soulb first realized o the invasion when his faithful servant fired upon C the retreating burglars and the discharge of the l-tol awl lie him. The robbers escaped, seem- W e ingly without any of them being wounded, as no ' trace of blood was found. United States commissioner Shannon, who, a c year ago. had such a multiplicity of cases before hint. prosecuted under the civil rights bill, and who, for many months, was the terror of magis- a trates and police, fearing arraignment before him for violating that statute of Congress, has, after a long season of dull business, taken Rcorder Neville into his ha: de. and has sent papers to the United States Dietli;t Court, requiring the recor- der to answer a charge of enfurcing penal law A too strictly. The gentlemen appointed by the Democratic State Central ('lormittee to organize ward clu!bs are vig. orously at work, and not many days will elapse he- i l fore the whole conservative pipbulation of the ci ty will ie thorotiughly ortganized, in detail, and prepared to meet the " impending crisis." at r 1'e eighty go!d and diamond rings reported by I a c(nt(upurary as having been found in the po- t session ol an individual charged with robbery, are all iade o brases. 1 he ,c,'od annual ball of the Pry Goods anl B (;eneral Mercantile Clerk'a As•sciation takes l;p ae this eveolLg at thll( National Thleaer, and nt promises to be as delightful as bright eyes and of ni,•ic cai malke it.

Le Tie GA; WELL.-Casting aside one or two in lingerit g suspiuions that the recent excitement le concerning the discovery of a jet of gas emana. to ting from the bowels of the earth might be what re is in popular to rme called " a sell," we yesterday th visited the premises of Messrs. Knight & Co., No. he 1;2 G;ravier street. between St. Charles and at Carondelet, and found that, far from being a ne hotax, the story had originated in a most interest. ing and curious reality. fa Passing through the main building, and enter- sit ing a small paved court-yard, some fifteen feet da square, one sees an iron pipe an inch and a quar- ter in diameter, standing some five or six feet in at height, surnionnted by a gas burner. connected wilh a meter cloie iv. and iarking into the earth on through atretvice between the flag satones. A steady stream flows from the pipe through the burners, po and, upon the alpilcation of a lighted mat:h, on gives a flame about one-half that of an ordinary ofl gaslight turned on at its full force. Upon ex Ca tiwgu:-hing the flame and allowing the gas to escape, a strange, earthy odor. not an on- wi peuasant one, is perceptible to the olfactories. le: 'The beat generated by the flame is a powerful one. at The circumstances under which the discovery ca was made are rather curious and interesting. da On Saturday morning Mr. Knight commenced sinking the tubhe in question, with a view, he ink states, to obtain a constant supply of pare water pr upon his premises. In the first place an iron borer, in the shape of a blunt cone, was driven into the o' soil, point downward, of course. Upward from thi the base of the cone extends a tube of the diam. wi , ter abcve stated; perforated in numerous places. Inside of this tube is another one similarly per- let forated, but surrounded by a fine copper gauze mi for filtering purposes. To the upper end of the cuter tube, a pressure is applied by blows from a let sledge sinking the borer to the required depth, lIe earryirg after it as it goes successive lengths of ofl tbe which are screwed and soldered on from time to time, as each preceding one reaches the tie level of the surface. hr Mr. Emiil.t, ao-isted hv a colored man, worked lo so aes.duuusly all day on Saturd ty that by night- die fall the btier had attained a depth of lorty-one tret. BD ing interested in the progress of his hie wvrk, Le I r,,pored to co.itinue his abors to a later tor haur, aLd wS goiting on with another length of wa tite, when soddenly the colored man spoke, say- ti ing that he i:,i,',d a i-trios odor escaping from on tie tol lc. Mr. Knight apjlied a lighted candle, ard to lhis surprse, a flame was ignited. Unwil nit 'ig that the strstge occurrence should be this creditcd ticr la k ( t wtneses, lie hurried off to the rnts of two friends, who lived in thesadjoin- img buildig, ov, r Cas;lys, Ibut tolundil that they ter had gone to the mass meetig at the St. ChIrle i Theater.

made his appearance, revolver in hand, and thet thieves made their exit. Mr. Soulb first realized o

the invasion when his faithful servant fired upon Cthe retreating burglars and the discharge of the

Tie GA; WELL.-Casting aside one or two inlingerit g suspiuions that the recent excitement leconcerning the discovery of a jet of gas emana. toting from the bowels of the earth might be what reis in popular to rme called " a sell," we yesterday thvisited the premises of Messrs. Knight & Co., No. he1;2 G;ravier street. between St. Charles and atCarondelet, and found that, far from being a nehotax, the story had originated in a most interest.ing and curious reality. fa

Passing through the main building, and enter- siting a small paved court-yard, some fifteen feet dasquare, one sees an iron pipe an inch and a quar-ter in diameter, standing some five or six feet in atheight, surnionnted by a gas burner. connectedwilh a meter cloie iv. and iarking into the earth onthrough atretvice between the flag satones. A steadystream flows from the pipe through the burners, poand, upon the alpilcation of a lighted mat:h, ongives a flame about one-half that of an ordinary oflgaslight turned on at its full force. Upon ex Catiwgu:-hing the flame and allowing the gas toescape, a strange, earthy odor. not an on- wipeuasant one, is perceptible to the olfactories. le:'The beat generated by the flame is a powerfulone. at

The circumstances under which the discovery cawas made are rather curious and interesting. da

On Saturday morning Mr. Knight commencedsinking the tubhe in question, with a view, he inkstates, to obtain a constant supply of pare water prupon his premises. In the first place an iron borer,in the shape of a blunt cone, was driven into the o'soil, point downward, of course. Upward from thithe base of the cone extends a tube of the diam. wi, ter abcve stated; perforated in numerous places.Inside of this tube is another one similarly per- letforated, but surrounded by a fine copper gauze mifor filtering purposes. To the upper end of thecuter tube, a pressure is applied by blows from a letsledge sinking the borer to the required depth, lIeearryirg after it as it goes successive lengths of ofltbe which are screwed and soldered on fromtime to time, as each preceding one reaches the tielevel of the surface. hr

Mr. Emiil.t, ao-isted hv a colored man, worked loso aes.duuusly all day on Saturd ty that by night- diefall the btier had attained a depth of lorty-onetret. BD ing interested in the progress of his hiewvrk, Le I r,,pored to co.itinue his abors to a later torhaur, aLd wS goiting on with another length of watite, when soddenly the colored man spoke, say- tiing that he i:,i,',d a i-trios odor escaping from ontie tol lc. Mr. Knight apjlied a lighted candle,ard to lhis surprse, a flame was ignited. Unwil nit'ig that the strstge occurrence should be thiscreditcd ticr la k ( t wtneses, lie hurried off tothe rnts of two friends, who lived in the sadjoin-img buildig, ov, r Cas;lys, Ibut tolundil that they terhad gone to the mass meetig at the St. ChIrle iTheater.
