ASSAULT UPON A MAGIsTRATE--A party of
half grown youths "a part of gang who pride
themselves upon the soubriquet of Razors,) arm
ed with colts. were yesterday morning amusing
themselves in the First Ward in the attack of
every person who crossed their path. Their con-
duct finally became SO uproarious, that Squire
Drury, the Police Magistrate of the Ward, en-
deavored to arrest some of the ringleaders; and,
in SO doing, was attacked by them, and received
a severe blow from one of them with colt, which
felled him to the eartl, and the rioters then dis
persed Intelligence being communicated TO the
Third Ward Police Offices, officers Burr and
Dexter, with posse of citizens, went in pursuit.
who succeeded in the arrest of three of them,
who were committed to the county Jail to answer
to the charge at the Criminal Court.


Another one of the same gang was arrested
early yesterday morning by the Auxiliary Guard,
on indictments which have been pending against
him for some time; but who had heretofore
managed to elude the grasp of the law.


We trust that the police will continue this good
beginning until all these disorderly gangs (known
as Razors, Never sDeats, GumbaHs, and other
rowdy titles borrowed from neighboring city,)
are completely dsbanded and broken up.
