Let Third street flourish! Attempt at Burglary. Policemen Howell and Rose, night before last, saw a man trying to enter the house on the corner of Cutter and Catharine streets, but after they had given the alarm they found he had escaped. The Cincinnati Police Bill passed the House Thursday afternoon, by a mere constitU' tional majority. The vote stood, ayes 55, noos 44.

Mr. Harrison objeotod to the title of the bill, and suggested it read, A bill to doprlve the people of Cincinnati of the right of self- government." Run Over. A boy named Ford, about twelve years of age, was run over by a horse and dray near the corner of Vine and Water streets, yes. terday, and hurt very badly. He lay insensl bio for a long time, but at length revived, and it was thought at last acoounU that he would recover.

Burglary. The house of a man named Martin Farrell, located on the corner of Third and Front streets, was entered, night before last, and ransacked. The burglars, however, took nothing but a silver watch, valued at $18 or $20. Thoy broke open trunks, drawers and cupboards, but singularly enough oarriod away only what is specified. Srootino with Intent to Kill.

A man named August Poppe yesterday made "oom plaint, hofore Justice McFall, of a watchman named U. B. Ehlmann, for maliciously shoot ing with intent to kill, on the 28th ult. The affair occurred in the Ninth Ward, and the shot took effect in the fleshy part of the arm, mak ing a painful though not serious wound. He was held to bail in $300 for his appearance at tho nest term of the Court of Common Pleas Accident to a Little Girl.

A little girl named Christiana Norman, about thirteen years of age, whose parents reside in the rear of some houses fronting on Bank alley, was soverely hurt, day before yesterday, by being struck on the head by an empty barrel, which fell out of a third-story back window, belonging to the drug establishment of W. H. Harrison Sc on Fourth street. Fortunately she was struck by the head of the barrel, which was forced out otherwise she would have been instantly killed. 6 Commitments to the County Jail Ykbter-day.

Peter Conklin, Lauronco Duncan and Charles B. Cassilly were committed to Jail, yesterday, by Judge Prudon, charged, with murder in the first degree, and accused with being participators in the killing of John Gillman, with tho particulars of whoso death our readers aro already acquainted. Aloxander Driscol was committed on a charge of potty larceny, for stealing a gold shirt button and some handkerchiefs from John Frano. Dennis Caldon and William Young for grand larceny, and four others fer minor offenses. A Physician Unwittingly Drives off with a Turnip Wagon.

Yesterday morning a ooun- tryman, who had brought to the oity a wagon-load of stopped on Fourth for the purpose of making some purchases, and bitched his horse to the buggy of a physician, whose office is near the oorner of Walnut street, Shortly after, the Dootor came out, jumped into his buggy and drove off, taking with him the countryman's horse, wagon and turnips, at brisk trot, in the direction of Broadway. Long time the turnip-seller looked for his team, not knowing that through his mistake a oity physician had taken his place, and become, unwittingly, to all appearance, a vegetable-vender, Police Court. Business before Judge Prudon still continues dull. Thomas Kelly, Samuel Sullivan and James Lightfoot had been drunk, and his Honor thought It proper to have them pay for their amusement In fines of three dollars eaoh, besides the usual accompaniments of bloated faces and aching heads. Thomas Regan, charged with stealing twenty pounds of butter, valued at $4, was fined twenty dollars and costs.

One dollar per pound is rather a high' price for this artiole of food. Henry Baker and John Sehrenok were fined ten dollars each for assaulting John Smith August LutJ, for assaulting Charles Busch, was fined $6, and Henry Rekus, for the brutal of striking a woman with a stone, was fined nine dollars and 0 LAW REPORT. COMMON PLEAS. ers. James Pnrkcr against the Board of County Commissioners.

Judgo Dickson disposed of this cases an action brought by Judge Parker to recovor from the County $130, The plaintiff was appointed by tho Common Ploas to defend Sophia Tenanberger, an indigent prisoner, charged with murder in tho second de gree, (infantioide.) The petition states to at he defended her, and presented a bill for $150 to the County, and that tho Commissioners made an entry to the effect that "they allowed him $40 by way of compromise on that bill." rom this decision be appealed to the common Pleas. A demurrer was filed to tho petition, and the main ground relied on was that an appeal in a natter of this kind did not lie to the Common Pleas. That demurrer was t.vernilod, and tho case came on now on inquiry as to tne value of those services. The question as to whether an appeal did lie, and further, whether, if it did, the Court could allow a sum greater than that the Com missioners allowed, bo (Judge Dickson) would not now pass upon, for the roason that both wore pending in the District Court. In determining the value of professional services, several considerations were to bo regarded the skill and ability of tho attorney, the rotations existing betweon attorney ana client, whether tho service was for a single matter, or whethor it was part of an extended business transacted tor the client.

Aftor an examination of the Statutes, the Court found no law authorizing the payment of a fee under an assignment by the Court to defend a prisoner until 1844, when a law was passed making it unlawful for the Auditor to allow any claim made by counsel lor suon service, until the said claim was examined and allowed by the County Commissioners. This law seemed to refer to some preceding enactment, but the Court could find none, and pre sumed it was intended to refer to the general practice of the courts. It evidently was a re medial statute, looking to an evil. The evil was, the judtros allowing; fees the remedy was that the Commissioners should pass npon the claim and, if an appeal lies, the question is, where is tho remedy The services rendered in such eases were, In the opinion of the Court, honorary that the object of the law was to oall on the profession to render to indigent persons services, apd that it did not contempiato tne payment ot a tee that tne matter or payment was engrailed on the law by the ingenuity of the courts, and, though subsequently recognized by legislation, was only so far recognized as to direct the Auditor to pay what the County Commissioners allowed. The employment is not to be considered in the light of a eontraot for money: the pecuni ary consideration, in the eye of the law, is to be nominal and viewing the case in that light, the Court thought the compromise allowed by the committee a fair ono.

A judgment was then given for $20 a payment of $20 having already been made. Ferguson A Long for tne county. Suit for the Maintenance or an Illegiti mate Child. Caroline Elble vi. Nicholas Hofor An action nndcr the bastardy not, before Judge Mallon, and a jury.

The Clerk was instructed to prepare and transmit to the City Couneil an ordinance to pave unpaved sidewalks on Ninth street, from Freeman to Carr.

Tho sealed proposals offered were open ed, and recommendations of award of contracts made as follows To pave with bowlders AuguBta street, from Smith to Rose, with Jaoob S.

1 Thiri were five masquerade balls in oity, last night, and one in Covington. This must be aa imitation of the Venitian oarnival. was authorised to notify parties obstructing old Montgomery o.a at the Daily Melancholy Suicide--A Woman Blows her Brains out. in consequence of a Domestic Quarrel. Last evening, about six o'clock, tho neighborhood of Vine and Green streets was thrown Into a state of the most intense exoitement by the rumor that a woman bad committed suicide booause of a quarrol with hor husband.

Tho particulars, as elicited before the Coroner's jury, are briefly as follows Ludwiga, the wife of Emanuel Gerard, who resides, and keeps a cigar store, at No. 620 Vine street, had, for a long time previous to this melancholy affair, been suspected by her busbnnd of a criminal intimacy with a Gorman doctor, named Butow, whose office Is, we be lieve, at the corner of Liberty and Sycamore streets. This had caused considerable harsh foeling between the parties until last week, when his suspioions took an almost tangible shape, in consequence of the finding of a lotter addressed to the wife by Dr. Bulow, and ap pointing tho Post-office as a rendezvous for a meeting, to take placo on Sunday afternoon. Girard, after reading the note, determined to tend a boy, who was in his employ, named Jacob Goebct, to watch the proceedings of his wife aad the Doctor at their afternoon assigna tion.

The boy followed the wifo, saw her meet hor friend, wandor for some time about the streets with him, and then separate, each returning home. He reported this to the husband, and he last evening charged his wife with infidelity, and told this story of the boy, whon she, in a fit of passion, arose from her chair, and taking a double-barreled pistol irom the wall, deliberately blew her brains literally out, scattering them about the store-room, on the counter, and over the I how-cose, in such a manner as to give the room a truly siokening appearance. Ju. xne uoroner was immediately sont for, and tho usual ceromonies of a post mortem exami nation and inquest were held, which resulted in a verdict in accordance with the above facts. The parties are Hungarians, and from what we could learn, were or noble origin, but ex iled and reduced in circumstances they sought in our country the liberty they desired so much but found not in their own.

The dooeased was about 25 years of age, and was quite fair indeed far more handsome than most women. Hor husband was several years her senior, and nntil hor unfortunate intimacy with Bulow, they had lived as agreeably to gether as most married oouples. This melanoholy affair has cast a shadow of gloom over the entire locality in which it oc curred. We, in accordance with our journal istio duty, after having given the story, which we believe is true in every particular, now let fall the curtain of charity upon this exceed ingly sad and tear-provoking tragedy.

Report of Messrs. Rule, Skaats and Toohey, Special Committee on Street Railroads, Made to Council on Wednesday Evening Last. Special Committee, was) petition of Miles Greenwood and others, asking that the right to lay down tracks, in certain streets, for the purposo of street passenger railway, lie speedily granted to the Cincinnati Street Railroad Company, and the remonstrance of A.

Long and others, against the same, beg leave to REPORT. The subject of Street Railroads, for passenger purposes, having already elicited much dlscussiou, in the Suhlle press and among onr people, your Committee on't feel callinl upon to enter Into an elaliorale or lengthy dissertation on the auhjert, and would at once report the ordinance herewith subjoined, without any thing other than the simple recommendation, "It be passed," were it not that the subject is of sufficient consequence and magnitnde to require of them to submit to the "Board" a few of many of the reasons wniuii present tnemseives wny tney should maae tne recommeuuation. ucuaving, as your committee uo, that the growing prosperity and increase In trade, population and manufactures of our city must, of necessity, require an increase in the area or extent of our city, how are we to provide for that Increased growtn, oilier than ny a netter ana more expeditions means of transit from its extreme points to our busl- new center. Yonr committee don't feel called npon to argue the question of the snperlottty of street passenger rail ways lortne purpose namen, oeneving 11 is generally acknowledged and admitted as the most oomfortahle and expeditious yet devised. The omnibus, in every otner city 01 an equal or approximate extent witn our own, is superseded by this street rail-car, aa is tho canal-boat and stage-coach, of days gone by, superseded by the steamboat and locomotive, for the pur poses of passenger travel.

Your committee would have felt much reluctance in recommending a measure of this kind, asked by the petitioners. If It were a new and untried scheme: nut tne experiment naving oeen iriea, ana saving rovea signally successiui in tne cities 01 new norx, 'hilarielnhla and Ilo.ton. have no hesitation in re commending their adoption here. Already other elites m. j.oiiib iiiiu vihcskii nnve Kmnmi tho privilege to certain companies, to lay down tracks tne same purpose.

10 our minus, ine nest evi dence of the usefulness and advantages of street rati roaus over any other means 01 locomotion, is to te found In the fact that, inaugurated in New York In 1832. thev have irons on Increusinff nnd extendinff in that city until every point radiating from its com mercial center is traveled oy tne street rauroaa car. Surely, if the street car is. as its opponents alleno. an injury to an obstacle to ine ousiness or acitv.

It could not have extended beyond tile limits cautiously granted by the corporation of New York to tne nariem nauroaa lor tno History 01 wnicn, and other routes subseauentlv eranted bv New York. your committee would reter to tne report 01 a lormer committee submitted to your honorable body. PhiladelnhlA then, eantinns In her nollcv to adopt the street railroad but having tried it on a was slow id it on a few of the streets, the tieneflts derived to tbe public were so much beyond those what its friends named, that thev liAve Already a-ranted the Drlviletreof levins' down, In the streets of that city, over sixty miles of railroad within the past nftaen months another positive evidence or Its general utility and usefulness and some of these tracks have been laid down In her principal thoroughfares. Your Committee have learned that objections were urged to granting to any company the rights to nse the streets, named in a lormer proposition, and embodied in the ordinance subjoined, on the ground that It grants a monopoly. Your Committee conceive the ground of objection untenable.

The Cincinnati Street Railroad Co. is a body composed of the corporator, apo stocanoidcrs: lr tne city grant to said company the right to lay down the tracks in the be obtained streets named, an amount of money equal to the ex penditure will be required, wnicn nas to tie obtained from the individual subscriptions to the capital stock. It matters not then, In the judgment of your committee, whetheronr citizens subscribe to the stock of this or any other company, that may here after be oraaniEed. It amounts to the same In the end. But yonr committee do believe that the interest of tne people win ne nettor py one company than by many, for the reason that ono company can regulate the running of all the lines, so as to connect ith each other, while rival companies will, through a spirit of rivalry, or through personal interest, or other causes, run a.

their interest or feeling may And in tbe opinion of yonr committee, it prove a constant sonrco of aunovance to the Council to regulate tbo running of the ears, each company feeling that, unless their view, were adopted, "favoritism naa oeen practicea nv ine ixiaru whereas. If the present grant ia made, and the city regulates the time of starting on each route, and. also, the fare to be charged, your committee are clearly of opinion that the wants of the public will lie nerier snnAervea ana rne oniv niuerence remain ing will be whether tbe citizens will subscribe to the Cincinnati uompany, or any otner. Another around nf ohiectinn Iias heen nrced. that the real object was a connection betweon the Little Minml R.

Yonr committee are At a loss to Aasiirn cause, if the connec. tion was asked, why it should not bo granted. It is obvious to your committee, that no solid objection ran lie raised to tbe connection. On the contrary. they believe that the interest aud general welfare or our city requires it should be made.

When wo consider that "Richelieu" was played last night for tho second time by Mr. Sullivan, tbe honse at this establishment was very fine. Of bis rendition of title part wo have spoken before, and, from having seen it the second time, we find no cause to reverse our former judgment. Ills representation of the wily Cardinal, In the fifth act, Is positively great. Tho poor old man, worn out with the cares of State; the ghastly, death like pallor of the face; the parted Hps, the tottering step, and broken, husky voice, with melancholy tones, are admirable in their way, and "hold the mirror up to nature" so completely as to leave the Impression that one has seen "Richelieu," Instead of an Impersonation.

In the otber acta we think, aa before, that there la too much youth and rigor, as he enacts it to accord completely with the character as drawn by Dulwor, and as represented by him in the doling scenes of the play. But Mr. Sullivan is chaste, gen tlemanly and elegant always, and we can assure onr readers they can not spend their time more pleasantly than In witnessing this really fine actor in any rolo he may assume. He appears to-night as "Richard III," with Mr. J.

E. Nagle aa "Richmond." Mr. J. K. Mortimer appears In the farce of "Hunting a Turtle," as tho "Hon.

Mr. Lcvlsou." WOOD'S hioht or the Naiad Qiirr.n. There was about tho usual attendance last ovenlng at this pleasant placo of amusement.
