AN ABOLITION OUTRAGE. - James Dolan, the loyal man, whose enthusiastic attachment to Jeff. Davis and the Rebellion got him in limbo, was yesterday ordered by Judge Cowles to pay a fine of two hundred dollars, or go to jail for thirty days. Secesh thinks that was do-lan justice out rather liberally, for a loyal man. Dolan says it wasn't him, but the whiskey in him that uttered the treason. Serves him right for keeping bad company. John Whiskey gets a many of his friends into trouble.

LOST CHILDREN. - Six or seven lost children were found at the station house (where they had been deposited for identification by the Police) at different times on Saturday. When you lose a child, and happen to want it again, the City Prison is the proper place to apply first.

POLICE TARGET EXCURSION. - On Friday week, Chief Burke's well drilled army of Police soldiers will go to Hayes' Park on a target excursion, and partake of a cold luncheon after their sharp-shooting proclivities shall have become blunted by a surfeit of musket practice. We are requested by one of the officers of the City Prison, (whom we imagine, from the tone of his remark, has not been urged to go along and scatter bullets around the target,) to warn all visitors to the grounds on that day to stand in range of the bull's eye, and take such other measures for their safety as the circumstances of the case may seem to demand. There will be about twenty prizes up for competition, three of which will be contributed by the Mayor, Judge Shepheard and Chief Burke, to excite ambition among the men. Messrs. Thurnauer & Zinn have sent in a superb photographic album; Rosenbaum & Co., a box of extra superfine Havanas; and a leading Chinese merchant, a costly tablecloth of Celestial manufacture, and twenty pounds of tea worth four dollars a pound.

SENT UP. - James Gallagher was on Saturday examined before Judge Shepheard, on a charge of having committed an assault with a deadly weapon on a man at the corner of Third and Brannan streets, on the night of the 3d of August last. According to the testimony there was a right smart chance of a muss, which disturbed the peaceful slumbers of the people inhabiting the thereabouts, and in which Gallagher became bloody-minded and carved two of the human race. He was held to appear at the County Court, on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to do bodily injury. His bail was fixed at $1,000.

Fifteen of the subjects were up for drunkenness; twelve for misdemeanors; six for assault and battery; one for assault with a deadly weapon; one for petty larceny; one for grand larceny, and one for murder. Total, thirty-eight cases.
