Burglars, thieves, counterfeiters and really dangerous classes have little to fear ferocity of temper is always associated with Obtusity of intellect.

A shrewd operation may rob a store, pick a pocket, or utter a forged note with comparative safety. But wo betide the man who raffles the saroee temper of a policeman. This is not the spirit that should prevail in the department. The law is not a vindictive and savage demon represented by the furies armed with scourges of scorpions tails. When a person offends ngainst its decrees there are regular tribunals by which ho 3s to be tried and punished where impartial justice is supposed to preside and not passion and frensied excitement.

If for a slight offense or none, a man is to have his head broken he certainly ought not to be subjected to the additional punishment now provided by courts of law. Either all other means of inflicting punishment than the club and the revolver ought to be abolished, or the police should be restricted somewhat in the free use they now make of those weapons.

HIRAM ANDERSON, 99 Bowerr. mh26 Sm Sign of the lane Golden Bsgla. The attempted Prize Fight and the Conduct of the Police, We copy the following accounts from, the New York morning papers in relation to the conduct of the police at the attemped prize fight on Saturday The Times, which is the most moderate, says There was some talk among the hackmen and a few others of resisting the policemen, and one or two stones were thrown, a small one hitting In epector Folk in the back. At the same moment officer Tageart received a blow on the forehead from some'unknown quarter, and dropped. The Inspector drew his revolver with an oath.

The men also drew their revolvers. The crowd thereupon dispersed with most marvellous rapidity. But it was at this moment that the police lost their coolness, and commenced an indiscriminate clubbing of all within their reach, in at least four instances beating men against whom no charge was subsequently made. In two cases men most severely beaten were not even arrested. On the drawing of the revolvers there was a general rush for the carriages some hackmeu, through fear of arrest, driving off without their fares, and in one case a hackman rode his horses off without his vehicle, from which they had been detached to rest after the long drive of the night.

Woods was arrested in his carriage, and received a much severer beating than he would have ever received in the ring, for attempting to escape. T. Burns was arrested in the same carnage. John Cleaveland, while sitting in the hotel, hada finger broken, aud received a severe contusion of the head, before arrest. He was making no resistance.

Jno. White, subsequently discharged, was badly beaten on the arms. Anderson Smith, who was arrested for inciting the mob to resist the officers, was badly beaten over the head and in the forehead. King was arrested iu the hotel. When found he begged not to be clubbed.

In his case the petition was listened to and he was the only unwounded man taken. The New York Daily News says Headed by Inspector Folk, that worthy commenced by crying out, "Get out of this, you of a Go at them, men, and give them 1L" With this invitation, the officers each drew their revolvers and clubs, and commenced one of the most brutal and cowardly attacks upon an unresisting assemblage that ever took place in a civilized country; and we firmly believe that each man who received injury on the occasion can recover largely from the Commissioners for the unjustifiable attack. As the fleeing crowd went they were met, and without a word knocked down with the club, and in many instances beaten while prostrated in the most merciless manner. Woods attempted to leave the field by jumping into his coach, and while in the act of leaving, the doors of his carriage were broken in and he was thrust out and cudgeled in a shockinsr way. His head was gashed frightfully to the length of five inches, his right arm nearly shattered and the small finger broken.

Large numbers who were knocked down and hurt, some very badly and others slightly, managed to escape. They could be seen running and crawling away in every direction, with their heads 8nd faces in a sickening and gory condition. Even the bar room of the tavern was invaded, and the innocent were pitched upon by these raving desperadoes in the most diabolical manner. The Herald says King was now seen leaving the making ere he had time to reach it the everlasting police again were on the ground, and commenced one of the moBt brutal onslaughts ever perpetrated since the organization of the Metropolitan force. Inspector John 9.

slk Headed some thirty men, who seemed in a perfect frenzy of excitement and revenge. They came upon the ground fairly howlingwith rage, and the monieDt the Inspector got within hearing dis tanceof the group which stood around the ring, he shouted out, "Get out of this, you of Men, go in and give 'cm hell With this amiable invitation on the part of their commander, the men needed no other incentive the dance they had been led was quite sufficient, and at it they went, more like demons than guardians of the peace, and commenced an indiscriminate attack upon any and everybody whom they could get a chance at. Innocent or guilty, were all the same to their cowardly assaults. People living in the neighborhood, on their way across the fields, fell with bleeding skulls under the merciless crasade of these gallant knights of the baton. Without giving the people an opportunity to disperse, they would follow up the fleeing Crowd, anu with their clubs fell every one withiti their reach, aDd then, perhips, two or three others would fali upon the unfortunate prostrate, and in the most cruel and malicious manner beat him until he was covered with gore and unable to move.

juhu wuuun uiuiMui endeavored to escape by jumping into a coach with some friends aud driving off, but these vigilant police, who are never around to discover a murderer on our public streets, could not see such game escape, and they straiehtway broke in the carriage, and as Wood jumped out on the other side he was knocked dowD by a Mow froma club on the neck and then beaten until he could not speak. His skull was horribly cut, his forearm broken, and the bones in his hand fractured in several places. John Cleveland, who is billiard keeper atXa fayette Hall, on Broadway, and who was uite orderly and well behaved, was dreadfully beaten on thehead and had two of his fingers broken. It was observed by many thit upon taking their prisoners omnibus in which they came up, the police would, while walking alomr. take The Mad Dog Season.

A mad dog made his appearance in Amity street near Sullivan yeater day. He was at large, frothing and foaming at the mouth. He had bitten several other dogs, which caused them to run off howling in all directions. The original mad dog was shot but the others which he had bitten and innoculated with the contagion are Btill at large. The circumstance created a great deal of excitement in the 15th ward.

Killed by Falling out op a. Window. About 11 o'clock this morning a little boy named John Ulrich fell from the third story window of his parents' residence, corner of Broome and Norfolk streets and was instantly killed. The child was nineteen months old. Supposed Fatal Camphenb Accident.

A woman named Heritage residing at No. 31 Thirteenth street, was severely, and believed fatally burned by the accidental explosion of a fluid lamp which she was engaged in lighting. Her clothes caught fire and she was speedily enveloped in flames. They were torn from her but the fire had already done its work. Abduction op a Young Laly and Restoration to her Parents.

Capt. Hartt of the City Hall Police has for some time past been in search of an erring Yankee girl, who had been led from the paths of rectitude by a circus rider attached to Nixon establishment. It appears that the circus exhibited in Portland, Maine, in July, 1859, and the girl becoming fascinated with the gay trappings of the rider, was induced to elope with him. Her heart stricken parents made every exertion to find her, but in vain. They traced her to Boston, and went there, but after vainly searching about the city, returned home.

The lather stillcontiuued the search, and travelled about from one place to another until he had spent nearly $500 he returned to his home near ly'worn out, but still with the hope that he should yet be able to find her. He wrote to the proprietor of the circus company in New York, but the reply was so uncommittal as to prove altogether unsatisfactory. Some time this spring a riend of the family visited New York and accidentally met the girl in Broadway. He informed Irar father on his return, who immediately set out upon the journey, and arriving here during the present week, at once called upon Mayor Wood. His honor assured him that if the girl was in the city she would be found and restored to him.

Capt. Hartt was sent for and the facts laid before him. He promptly set to work, and with his accustomed zeal and determination succeeded after some days in gaining a clue to a girl of the missing one's description, as having lived at No. 157 Crosby street. The name she was known by here was Alice Blanchard.

Further inquiries revealed the fact that the same girl, but known as Alice Anderson, was boarding at a disreputable establishment on the corner of Houston and Mercer streets. By the aid of a daguerreotype and description ol her person she was identified as the missing girl, and was at once brought to her father at the Mayor's office. The meeting was a most affecting one, and after a brief consultation the daughter made preparations to go to the home of her parents. They started for down East to day. VIEWS OF CORRESPONDENTS.

The Union Ferry Matter. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle Dead Sin, Under this heading a correspondent in your issue of Thursday graced your columns with a most forcible, chaste, and admirablo essay, convincing in its character and elegant in its style of diction. It is to be regretted that these shining literary lights allow themselves to be so long under their bushel, and leave a benighted public in obscurity. As I told a squeamish friend of mine, 11 the fact that Mr.Penn makes use of such language as brutish is only a peculiarity or stylo well adapted to the cause he advocates I am freo to confess, Mr. Editor, that at ono time I did think that ferry would pay between New York and Brooklyn at one cent especially as there were parties willing to establish ferries at that price, if they had tho right to do so, but since reading the powerful article of Mr.

Penn, I amfuiljr cohYliiceu of the following facts, viz. 1st. That the Union Ferry Company outbid all competitors, and jmid an enormous increase for their lease, not because they could afford to do so, but out of pure philanthropy and unrequited lore for the ungrateful people of lirooklvn. u. ijjjA it uiMJ piuiamnrony mat caused them to monopolize every ferry between New Tork and Brooklyn.

3d. That as the Ferry Company only made eight per cent, heretofore, that now, their stock (the truo barometer), will fall below par! that run stares them in the face and that the company were very foolish as business men, not to make a clear sale of the whole affair, as the successful bidder had to take all their fixtures at full valuation. I fully agree with Mr. Penn in recommending the Ferry Company, if they have the power, as ho elegantly expresses it, to make Brooklyn sweat." Unfortunately, however, their new lease compels them to charge no more than tho prtsen rates hut then, as Mr. Penn asserts with a joyous burst, thev have their petty annoyances and imposiiions still; something that smells bad in a Ma Chinese, a lamp which he humanely allows to be lighted," Ac, I would willingly suggest sundry collisions, wilh mi occasional blow up.

L. (j Interment of the Dead. To the Editor of the Brooklyn JSarle Df.au Sin, Your correspondent W. does hot appear to understand the difference between the security afforded in the interment of tho dead in Church graveyards, where those who bury llit ir frionds possess no conveyance oTlhe ground occupied by their remains, and in the Cemeteries, where each lot owner owns the fee simple of his lot. In the latter case, no elaim for debt, or taxes, or assessments, or for anything else nothing hut a roluutary conveyance by himself can dispossess him or his heirs of a perjiotual right to his lot, and to all that is contained therein or thereon.

apprehension, therefore, as to the security afforded by any of our incorporated Cemeteries, propvrly established, need bo entertained no disturbance can by possibility arise to them, unless it be by the opening of avenues through their grounds but ns Ibis can only de done by a violation of iho public faith of theSlate solemnly pledged by enacting laws to prevent it, fuiibotu irbieh no (Jomefery would ever he established) no reasonable fears may for a moment be experienced on that account.

MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 4. Ruffianly Conduct of the Metropolitan Police. We were of opinion that a prize fight was the most disgraceful scene that could well be enacted and that the characters who frequent such exhi. tritions instead of being examplars of manliness are more under the sway of blood thirsty instinct and animal passion than lofty courage or a spirit of fair play.

But we believe that the scenes accompanying the attempt of the pugilists Woods and King and their friends to secure an opportunity to decide the match, which was got up between them on Saturday last, will prove that for coarse ruffiauiaui and undisguised brutality the heroes aDd abettors of the Prize Ring must yield the palm to the Metropolitan Police. The Dead Babbit is a gentle and chivalrous aoimal compared to the knight of the star and the hero of the club. We copy from the morning papers the different accounts they contain having reference to the conduct of the police on the occasion referred to. The accounts all agree in attributing language to Mr. Folk and conduct to himself and his men which we believe will find few parallels in the history of the very lowest sediment of that social deposit from which the crowd upon whom they operated might be supposed to draw its chief element.

The fact that the papers from which we copy dispatched special reporters to the scene and that these gentlemen all agree in their versions of the affair give additional assurance of the accuracy of their statements. One spectator might see the occurrences imperfectly, or might misrepresent the facts but the concurrence of a number of intelligent and impartial reporters renders it entirely unlikely that any exaggeration or misrepresentation has been resorted to. From these accounts it would appear that the police certainly exhibited vigilance and promptitude in pouncing upon and dispersing the crowd. And when those who came to superintend or witness the fight fled from place to place to elude their pursuers the latter acted with zeal and energy in pursuing tbem and frustrating their attempt to violate the law. When we hare said this much we have exhausted all the praise that can be bestowed upon the conduct of the police.

Having pursued the fugitives to a distant point of QueenB County and came up with them there, they seemed full of the determination, not to arrest the fugitives merely for an attempt to violate the law which designates their proceedings a breach of the peace, but to take instant and summary and indiscriminate vengeance upon whoever they conld lay hands on for the wild goose chase they had been led. On the police arriving on the ground it is said that stones were thrown at them, though no one suffered injury Irom the assault, if any one was even struct. Indeed the evidence of any such assault being made is very slight, and may be either manufactured from imagination or very much exaggerated as a sort of pretext or justification of the scenes that followed. The fact that one policeman swore to seeing another struck on the back of the head while the victim of the alleged assault himself testified that he was struck but once, and that in front would indicate that the force are blessed with a very vivid fancy. But whether stones were thrown or not, all the accounts unite in saying that on the appearance of the police the crowd dispersed as rapidly as pos sible that the Metropolitans in obedience to a command, couched in forcible but not very elegant language, went to wort pull inollond foUort cd the injunction of their chief in clubbing every unfortunate cranium that came within their reach Like the gentleman who gave a shilellih to his friend to use at the fair with the injunction, "wherever you see a head hi', it," the very sitit ot a human countenance became at once the mirk for an exhibition of Metroiiuliton bravery.

Cis ual and even accidental spectators, innocent dwellers in the neighborhood, attracted by the unusual spectacle of a crowd, bear in gashed faces and bruised limbs forcible mementoes of the visit of the Metropolitans to their neighborhood. We observe that some of the New York pipers advance an apology for this conduct on the part of the police, on account of the character of such a crowd as would naturally be drawn together by a prize fight. There is no doubt, however, thatthe violence resorted to was as unnecessary as it was ruffianly. The clubs and revolvers were used on an unarmed crowd, for the fact that no weapon was used or even displayed by any but the police is pretty conclusive evidence that none such were on the ground. We need hardly reiterate our Tery decided and often expressed opinion as to the influence of such exhibitions as prize fights and the character of those they are most likely to attract as spectators.

But it would be well for policemen to recollect, or to have the fact enloretd on their attention that when an individual or a number of people together violate the law they render themselves liable to the penalties the law prescribes and are not legally or rightly liable to receive whatever amount of violent maltreatment it may 6uit an infuriated armed ruffian to inflict The most dangerous members of the very worst class in society have a right to the full benefit of the law and a policeman is simp an illegal assailant when he uses the slightest force against any one, except in the case of a prisoner who resists his authority, and then the force is to he limited to the minimum necessary to make the arrest. Never, except in actual defense of his own life, has a policeman the shadow of right to beat or maltreat a prisoner. And then a prisoner must have been arrested on legal grounds and in a legal manner. But here were a number of men armed with clubs and revolvers laying around them indiscriminately and smashing the heads of innocent people, whom they did not even attempt to arrest, and who, of course, were guilty of no offense. To such an extent was this gratuitous ruffianism carried that nine of the mangled victims were taken to the hotel in the vicinity to have their wounds dressed by Dr.

Ball, the surgeon of the Metropolitan Police; for it appears that functionary was added to the party, with great foresight and in a spirit of philanthropic benevolence, to stitch np the gashes his associates might inflict. No policeman received a single scratch, which is quite enough to show the un provoked character of the assault. Why is it that prize iigbting is under the ban of the respectable portion of the community' Is it not because it leads to the infliction of Dhv sical injuries on those engaged in it that it fosters a spirit of ferocity and a tendency to resort to violence Yet how many prize ilShtg would result in the amount of b. uises and gashes inflicted on Saturday by the clubs of the police What crowd assembled around the ring ever exhibited a spirit ol such ferocity as the police then and there displayed? And if armed onslaughts are to be indulged, better the actors should be the outlaws of society, whose acts compromise none but themselves, than the misrcprcsenta tives of the law and order they are the first to set at nought. If the conduct of the police on Saturday were an exceptional case, it might be overlooked or lightly passed over.

But the spirit that was there tusplayed, is the moving principle of the whole department. If a citizen should remonstrate with one of these officials for roughly usine a prisoner, the chances are ten to one that he will get floored by the club. Persons arrested for intoxication, particularly if at all boisterous arc clubbed without mercy, thrust down the steps of Police. Business in tub Police Coo et. TVe publish the following note from the Clerk of the Police Court, as a personal explanation, stating in connection that no reference whatever was intended by ns to Justice Cora well To the Editor of the Brooklyn EagleDear Sir.

A manifest injustice has been done to Justice Cornwell in your police report of Saturday, as I know he has always taken great pains to furnish reporters all the information connected with his court. As to the insinuations against myself as clerk, I look over, from the well known fact that the amount of business I have to attend to prevents my being absent longer than necessary to get sufficient nourishment. The proceedings of every day is filed in the office of the Deputy Superintendent before I leave the court, and where gentlemen connected with the press, I am satisfied, can obtain all the facts they require. I have only to say that tho rule is to have important cases put off until the afternoon to allow the intoxication and vagrant cases to bo earlier disposed of. Yours, truly, M.

Wium. Stealing a Child. A woman applied to officer Beatty at the Catherine ferry this morning to arrest a man named Smith, whom she said had stolen her child, who was then on the ferry boat. Tho circumstances as she stated them were, that her husband was the captain of a veasal lying at the Atlantic Dock, and ready to sail to day; that ho was deserting his wife for another woman whom he had on board the vessel, and that he wanted the child, a liule boy about 5 or 6 years old, and had got Smith to carry it off, but she had pursued and kept (rack of him. Smith, to escapo the officer, went out on the dock and concealed himself for awhile, and then crossed again to New York, but Beatty flnallv caught him and brought him, with the child, to the station house.

The woman has obtained a writ of habeas corpus from a Now York court where the the case will be probably examined. A Cash or Suspicion. On Saturday night ofllcors Brown and Dawson of the 2d, saw three colored men carrying a large trunk up Fulton street, and suspecting them, watched their proceedings. The darkles went in to a pawnbroker's shop, and tho officers followed them and found them offering to pawn a lot of table linen, pieces of muslin, merino and other dry goods, a lot worth $S0 or $60. They could give no satisfactory account of how they came in possession of the goods, and they were therefore taken into custody.

They gave their names as Thomas Robertson, Isaiah Smith and Win. H. Su.itu,and their place of residence Flood's Alley. It Is supposed that the goods are the proceeds of more than one robbery. Persons having lost such articles are requested to call at Inspector Folk's office, in the City Uall basement.

Unsafe Buildings. Under the provisions of the police law as amended, Sergeant Waddy of the Sanitary Department, made a complaint before Justice Morehouse, against the buildings Nos. lOTand 109 Navy street, as unsafe. Tho case was fully examined, and evidence taken, as to the condition of the buildings, and on Saturday, the Justice rendered a decision, condemning the buildings as insecure, and tbey will have to bo pulled down.

In the 9th ward, Patrick Han Ion, who keeps a liquor shop in Wyckoff street, was arrested by officer Gregory for selling liquor, ITe was held lor examination. A Colored Case. Hannah Johnson, a muscular female of bronze complexion was brought before Justice Yoorhies this morning on a charge of assault and battery on Ann Eliza Doughty, a venerable colored lady with an impediment in her speech.

They live in one house in Navy street, and the trouble was a neighborly one. Hannah was pitching into Mrs Doughty's husband, who is a lame darkey, and not much on a fight, and Ann Eliza went in to help him, with unfortunate results to herself, as Hannah was able to whip tho pair of them. The Justice reserved his decision. Another or the same Complexion. Richard Miller, a sanguinary darkey, who lives somewhere near Crow Hill, undertook to whittle up Jesse Jackson, a venerable cullud pusson, of Wecksville.

He commenced with a cut on his head, which scared Jesse, and he made tracks for the station house and had Miller arrested. Assault.

A Mr. Michael Blake, a man whoso head bus been whitened by the snows of seventy winters, presented himself thio morning before Justice Colohan to answer the complaint of Mr.

John Travis, who complains that this venerated old sire pitched into him on Friday last and gave him a tc; sible beating, at the satno time declaring his intention to make a iuneral of him, which, it is believed he would have done at the time, but for the fortunate interference of some of ttie neighbors, all of which hud nothing to answer, hut that was a spalpeen, wtio greatly annoyed him in various wnys, and bo just gave him a good trouncing to learn him better manners.

The Charleston Mercury argues in favor of running two Democratic candidates one to secure the heaviest vote possible in the North and Northwest, and another to accomplish the same end in the South. In this manner the largest number of votes will be taken from the Republicans in the Northern States, and the election will be inevitably thrown into the House of Representatives, where South Carolina will be equal to New York, Alabama to Pennsylvania and Mississippi to Ohio, as each State will there cast a Single vote' This, the Mercury claims, would break up all combinations, which cluster around individual candidates for the Presidency, and ultimately secure the election of a candidate favorable to the South.

Happy is the man who fails to receive a nomination for office. Thus we are informed that Mr. Seward has given a fireman who had his shoulder dislocated by falling from his barn, $100, and paid his doctor's bilL Had Seward been nominated to the Presidency no such paragraph as that could be published. The act, if made public by his friends, would be attributed to buncombe, while plenty would be ready to assert that instead of treating the disabled fireman as ho is alleged to have done, he refused to provide a wagon to send him home.

Heenan writes to a friend in New Tork deny, ing that he was ever married. He says these la dies who are quarreling for possession of his hand and heart are barefaced Impostors.

Dr.

Alexander B. Mott, with whom the Prince was well aeqnainted years ago in Paris, has been acting the part of cicerone to the distinguished stranger, who, by the way, expresses himself highly pleased with his visit. It is singular that the Aldermen don't get hold of him. We should think the presence of a live prince in New York would be a valid excuue for an appropriation of at least $1 0,000. If this Prince has been unceremoniously cheated out of his throne, is that any reason why Aid.

Boole should turn Lis back on him? Certainly not. The Herald's Washington correspondent has the followine Presidential gossip "The President is earnestly for Joe Lane whose chances have not improved of late. The exertion of a few nf the managers of the New York Regency to bring out beymour does not meet with much success. Dickinson's chances, in the event of the overthrow of Douglas, are considered good. The entire South would cordially unite upon him." Mr.

Raymond went to Chicago to labor for the nomination of Mr. Wade, thinking that he was the coming man. Hiving arrived there, however, new light brought to his mind the new conviction that it was Gov. Seward who held the lucky cards, and ho chaoged their course ar. cordingly.

Had there been any probability of Douglas's nomination and election by the Democratic party, there is no reason to doubt that Raymond would have been true to him. This Is an age of stem political virtue. TOR RIBBONS, RIBBONS, RIBBONS, PARIS FLOWERS, ROSES. RUCHES, RICH PANS, Ac, GO TO R. H.

A villager, who was at the hotel when the company arrived, and who remaned, as he said, to "see the fan," upon the appearance of the squad put spurs to his horse, and the police, not being able to stop his progress, shot a pistol deliberately at him, but fortunately, without effect. Even the reporters of the public press did not eseipe their sanguinary intentions, aud policeman John Fox, 1,088, shouted to hit. comrades to "hit 'em and let em lay," and Francis Lattinville, 1,111, a worthy fellow ruffian in uniform, threatened if the re porters came near they would put a bullet through them. The police seemed to be worked up to such a pitch, and more particulaily from the conduct of their superior officer, that thev seemed determined, not only to arrest, but to revemro tlieiu selves upon any who came In their way. With this view tbey commenced the lnvoc riirht and left, not knowing or auparently caring whether they committed murder or not.

The Tribune, confirms all the above details aud add? a few more specimens of wanton brutality. It says Three or four policemen would attack one man, knock him down, aud all club Mm about the head till he was beaten helpless. The nssorublatre made no resistance, merely striving to get awav; the proof of this lies iu the fact that no policeman suffered the slightest hurt, with the one excep. t'on of Officer Taggart, who received a single blow in the head with the butt of a whip. No officer had a scratch.

Clark and White were taken from the bar room of the hotel, into which the officers burst, and without a preliminary word, commenced clubbing everybody they could reach; after knocking down several, they each seized a prisoner and dragged him away. Clark aud White neither of them had anything whatever to do with the light, and were engaged in peaceable conversation. The officers who arrested them could make no charge against tbem, and they were instantly discharged as boon as brought before the magistrate. Mr. John Cleveland, the proprietor of the billiard tables at Lafayette Hall, Broadway, was beaten about the head, neck and body, and had two of his fingers broken.

While he was walking to the omnibus to take his place with the other arrested parlies, two or three policemen walked along beside him, and punched him in the ribs and stomach with the ends of their clubs. He was so much injured that he had to be assisted into the carriage. As soon as he had taken his seat a revolver was placed to his head by policeman l'rancia Lattcnville, No. 1,149. In conclusion the Tribune Bays; We have endeavored to give an idea of the scene, but the language UBed by Inspector Folk aud his men, it is impossible to report iu these columns.

It must by no means be supposed that the persons were the only ones injured. Though less than a dozen were taken into custody probably fifty were clubbed more or less. One poor fellow, a hack driver, who came to the spot in the regular course of his businesses much beaten Though 60 many pistols were drawn, but two shots were fired, both by the police. The ladies in Paris have revived a very old fashion in dress the fig leaf.
