The same extra ordinary reduction is apparent'in all the other NewEngiandStates,exceptCpnnecticut,where by some sort of a fusion arrangement, the vote Claimed for Bszceihsidox was swelled up to a little less than half the vote he received in 1866. > In New York ho distinctive Bueokikkihok Electoral Ticket was kept in the field, bnt the small amount of strength hi%friends contribu ted to the Fusion Ticket will be Clearly shown by the vote' polled for Mri Beady, the Breckin ridge candidate for Goyernor, who received In New.

In Pennsylvania, in 1866, BlKOKuramas re ceived 280,710 votes. His exact strength, in 1860,- In this State, was designedly concealed, by the' Welsh Committee, by the withdrawal of. the Cresson fpsion programme—which 'Would have disclosed it—because they know that it wohld have been utterly impossible, with all the patronage of the Administration and the misrepresentations of its organs, to secure for him more than 60,000 votes.

Not one man In twenty of those who sustained bib ■ fonr years ago supported him in the re cent contest. ' ' The rote in the Southern States is almost equally significant. In 1866 he carried them til except Maryland, by overwhelming majori ties. It is now dear that in Delaware, Mary land, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Louisiana, he.obtained much less than half of the total vote polled. In Missouri he has re ceived less than ope. tenth of the votes cast in the counties which have been heard from. In his own State, Kentucky, Bmu has a large ma jority—although many votes were polled there for DouatAs, In North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia,- Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Texas, the vote for BaxcKraarooE in 1856 was nearly 'twlee as great as that polled against him} in 1860 it will evidently bo but a little more tban tho combined vote for Docglas and Bran. , Tito total vote of all the Southem States in 1866 was as follows For Baohanen and Breckinridge 609,587 For Fillmore and Donelson. 479,465 . Majority.... 130,122 ~ Instead of obtaining a majority of the whole Southern vote'& 1860, the supporters of BnxCEixaiDaK were , this year in a. decided minority inthat section. So far as the vote for Hr. Douglas is. con cerned, the recent canvass was evidently ho test of his actual strength with the- people, because the fear that, by throwing the election into the Honse or Senate the Bnchanan dy juastywould be perpetuated under the ride of into 'fits opposition, ranks thousands -of independent men who would otherwise haTe cbeerftilly and earnestly sup ported:. JudgeDonoiAs. „ 'Even, with this disadvantage agaitjßt him, however; itis proba-; ble from tho present appearances of the . re turns: that he has received a largor popular. vote Uironghout the country than any other defeated candidate - who was ever placed in 'nomination, for the Presidential Chair. - Thototalpopular vote polled at the Presi dential election in. 1852, was 3,147,542. In' 1860 the total popular vote was 4,042,204, showing an Increase of a, little more .than 900,000 in four years. It U therefore proba ble that 5,000,000 votes were polled, at the recent election.

There-is. no-name more ; familiar -.to the readers of - the American newspapers than that' of Mr. Pbixtici., For a quarter of a century he has occupied a prominent position as one of the most eminent and classical con ductors of the American press.

What is its Population t A leading New York journal declares that the papulation of Gotham —nicknamed “ Tho Metropolis”—has .'been- summed up at some thing.sbout 611,000. Our own correspondent informs its, on the' authority of belligerent and politioal Marshal Etndeku, census-taker, that “ the footings will show a population in tho city of Now York of about 856,000,” and that, “ including Brooklyn, Jersey City, Hoboken, ami Staten Island, we [the Now Yorkers] shall have an aggregate population of 1,125,000.” WUI this is mere unreliable guess-work. Captain Bxsnxas, who takes tho Census for- New York city, has no authority to count in the dwellers in Long Island, (Brooklyn and Williamsburg,) nor those in Jersey City and Hoboken, places in the State of New Jersey. The point to he determined is—what, upon a stated day, was the actual number of real inhabitants in any named placo, on that day. We are bonnd to confess, that our Census has not been taken correctly, at any time. The English plan Is to have it simultaneously taken, npon one fixed day, and tho_ return then in cludes every person who has slept, in any and overy place, on a particular date. Apply this rule to New York, and what will Us population be ? Deduct those of its presnmed “ inhabitants ” who dwell within its limits, excluding those who live in Brook, lyn, Ne,w Jersey, Staten.lsland, .and upon tho marge of the Hudson rivor; (even as far as Hyde Park,) and we arrive at tho actual population of New York. This, too, without discounting the large number of persons from tho South, who camp to tho New York Ho tels} on business or pleasure, when the Census was taken, after the heat had driven them northward, and before the summer had set in to send New Yorkers to country places. We repeat—our National Census, to be ef. fectlve, should have been taken on one and the same day, all over the Union. The actual population of No(v York city, counting in all who sleep therein on any given day, is probably as much as 760,000:— that is, some 60,000 less than tile population of Philadelphia. In this estimate, we may, perhaps, somewhat under-calculato our own population. If so, let “ metropolitan ” New York have tho advantage. We undehstand, from good authority, that the Germantown mooting, upon which wo commented yesterday, presided over by Harey Ihgeisoll, the lato defeated candi date for Congress in tho Fifth district, was a sort of confidential ailair. Had the notice been public, the Democracy of the neighbor hood would have rallied in, and would have addressed the South in other language. The Breckihtidgers in and around Germantown seem to hove made up their minds that every man who voted for Douglas is henceforward out of tho Democratic party. Mr. Ingersoll himself—heretofore unknown in our politics, a highly respectable gentleman, and for a long period a gallant and accomplished officer In the navy—knows as little of tho machinery of parties, and the depths of public opinion, as he does of tho management oi a locomotive and has, therefoio, been easily convinced that there is but one political gospel, and that entire subserviency to the fire-eaters of the South. We beg to remind him that tho De mocratic organization of Philadelphia is not a close corporation, but an open and public affair. If there is ever to be a reconstruction of tho old Democracy, it mnst bo upon the ori ginal Democratic creed—viz: hostility to se cession and nullification, and non-interven tion with slavery in the Territories of tho United States. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE Letter irom “ Occasional.” t Correspondence of The Pres*. 1 Washihotok, November 14, 1800. Among the troubles Mr. Lincoln’s election will bring npon the country, few will produce more Borrow than tho vexations of the office-holders un der the present Administration. Thpy have gpne so far in denunciation of him that I fear ho eannot Induce them to remain in their plaoes. Ho has been, in their eyes, a Qorgon dire; a fiend in human form; a remorseless incendiary; a fire brand and a powder magatine.' Perhaps, as he approach** the Presidential chair, the face and features, that seemed formerly ao rugged and so ugly, will assume a Softer and more benign aspeot.

Doubtless Mr. Lincoln will have a cordial greet ing to; this oily. Of course all those who have de noupcod him will resign their offices on the spot. Even the Tim- Ltnklbwnters in the departmonte— the fossilised remains of a past ago—the bamaolos on the Shlp pf State, who hare become so attaohod to it as'tb obhoeire themselves a vital part of tho entiro raaohine—even those who imagine that tho eompleX.system of government mnst Instantly fall to pieces if one of them should, by ohanoe, drop ont of his} orbit, by death or aooldent, for they never resign—startled the oommnnity daring the late election by exohanging exeorations of Linooln, and by stopping ail newspapers that favored him, or that refused to recognize the Seceders as the high priests in the Democratic Church.

There will be no need of Northern bayonets, as in deed there'is no call for Northern throats. The destiny of the Union may well be entrusted to the conservative States of the South. It is a sublime sight to see how, within a few days, they have roused at the oall of the country; bow, while the Executive halts and hesitates, they have placed themselves In line, net of battlo, hat of fraternity, throwing themselyes llko a wall around the vio lent and unreasoning men who threaten to pull down the temple of oar freedom. .'The 'Seoeders are beginning to realize the awful (gala they have undertaken.

THE PRESS.—-PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1860. tn« DUKE OF eoV|»IIO'E BASKB, AND mayor AND REAL BSf AND LOUISA ANA HONEY-STAmUtrorFME BTOCK HOUBEBf [ Joiroßpondenoo " Noy. u, As I never happenwltobeGovaniorof a.Btatt, I am not competent'to'^judge; of the difficulty F of writing a Thanksgiving proclamation, so as to introduoe topics and thoughts not previously em bodied in documents of that sort. They must, of nocosalty, contain allusions to bountiful harvests, fruits of the earth, happiness as a State, prosperity, of the people, peaoe, plenty, &0.,A0. - These,- too,' usually form the staple of the introductory para graph to the annual messages of t our Governors. An ineident just told to me by ajrlend, in refer enoo to Governor Banks, reminds me that it bas been reserved for him to pat in the neatest and most attraotive garb I have yet noted, the usual proclamation for Thanksgiving in Massachusetts. It is so altogether out of tho usual hum drum style that I copy it, not having seen it In The Press. It specifies ihe following subjects for thankfulness: For the favored position which separates our be* loved oountry from the political complications that torture other nations, and eeoures to us wCll-regu-' lated liberty and universal peaoe. For the preservation of the States united; For the publio health and prosperity; For the rich harvests of tho year; For the privilege of general education ; For the capacity and hope of future Improve ment ; And the never-failing consolation of Gbristain faith: Let us remember in every act of thanksgiving for our in&ppreoiable privileges, the opportunities that are offered; For the relief of those in want; Tho suocor of the oppressed ; The oonsolation of the afflioted; The comfort of the Imprisoned; The encouragement of snob as are oast down; And the recognition of all men, of whatever caste, condition, or dime, as children of a common Father, and Bubjeots ot one universal and incom prehensible deßtiny. What I more particularly designed to sky Is this: During the late tour of the royal party through the United States, the older members were of course observant of the men as well as manners and cus toms of those with whom they b&me in oontact. It ‘ was natural that so brainy abd sagacious iitates man as the Duke of Newcastle Bhould look ibout him for the olever people, the clear, bold, prompt, executive men, with whom it would be safe to en trust the government of a State or nation. When ever the party paused to receive the courtesies of the people, Borne person whom the natives thought olever, was of course put forward, or put himself forward, to do the honors; he ought, therefore, to have seen and heard some u smart ohaps,” At Portland, on the day of embarkation for England, the Duke, while oonversing with an intelligent gentleman about the men whom he had seen during the tour, was asked this question: “ Among the various prominent persona with whom you have bsoome acquainted, whatones have particularly struck you as representative seen?”. The Duke re plied that be had seen many, of whose abilities, do., ho had formed a high opinion; but there were two who had Impressed him strongly as men of marked character and decided power.” On being request ed to-name them he replied: “ Governor Bants, of Massachusetts, and Mayor Wood, of Ne%o York. ' ’ Coming from a Cabinet m Inlster of Eng land, whose life has been passed among oleverpeo* pie, the inoldent is, perhaps, as worthy of print as a thousand other personal allusions that dally find their way through the types out to the people. The panio of the last two weeks has affected stocks to a far greater extent than real CBtato. Tho latter, though dull, nevertheless attracts the attention of capitalists. Yester day A. J. Bleeoker, the heavy man of the. real estaters, sold fifty-two loti in the upper part of the oity at an average of $1,60.0 per lot, whioh was admitted to be a fair prloe. Among the rhe torical splurges usual with auctioneers upon such occasions, many of whom knock down lots, adjec tives, houses, verbs, stores, prepositions, and con junctions with a reokless disregard of the rights of Owners and the rules of grammar, Mr. Bleeoker took occasion to say that there “ was not a time in five years when this properly would not have brought more; it would have brought a, great deal more during the antediluvian times.

A Night'ln the Police Station The even-handed law, so beautiful in its theory of aid'to the weak and protection to tho feaefal, assumes In Its practical operations a most hard hearted and inadequate guise. Not &lono*may its sheer formalism be misinterpreted by the elo quence of hired attorneys and the shallow judg ment of ignorant juries, but the brutality of its executive officers is tho natural result of familiar ity with orime. The flinty oharaoter of police magistrates is proverbial, and the only legitimate apology for a frequent change of municipal polioo offioers, is the consequent introduction of a new elemept of executives, whose feelings are not alto gether hardened. We passed an Interesting night in an up-town station-house some time ago. It was tho hour for the nlght-watoh to go forth when we en tered. Tho men were removing from pegs on the wall sundry great overcoats and heavy alarm rat tles. An ocoaslonal revolver or bludgeon was ex hibited, ns the heavy forms wheeled into line. The , Sergeant, seated behind a desk, called the roll* and etontorlan responses ran down tho rank. Tho Lieutenant then gave some wo;ds admonitory, and the muscular oolumn wheeled out of doors and trod heavily down the-pavement, each man to file off at his peouliar beat for a solitary and chilly vigil. We improved the opportunity to look into the cells, by guidance of an aged turnkey. This old publio functionary had managed, in some inexpli cable way, fo survive administration after admi nistration and yet retain bis place. He had been retained under the shifting dynasties of Swift and Gilpin, Conrad and Vaux and Henry, and in his sere and yellow decline; no administra tion could have the hardihood to disoh&rge him. He was not, withal, a tender man, and invidious' distinctions between unfortunates and criminals he did not care to make. We followed him into jthe basement, whieh had a oheerless aspect, with Tts bare knotty floor and grated windows. A large stove oooupled the oentro, from whioh flues ra diated to the upper stories, and the Btenoh from the neighboring cells was almost insupportable. The doors of these were of iron, panelled on the out side with wood, and leaving a small grated hole near the bottom for the efflux of dense air. These were four of them, numbered over the top. “This,” said the turnkey, opening door No. 1 and releasing some foul smells, whose sudden es cape struck us like a blow in the nose, “ this is. the best oell in the row—dedicated to tlje wimmen. We keep it werry dean, so as to niake it, oomfit able.” .We said through our fist, although in a state of semi suffocation, that it certainly bad salubrious air and ooplous. ventll&tion At the latter remark a puff of chilling wind drove in at tho broken, window In.the side, and almoßt extinguished the g4«- ‘.‘That window,” we remarked, “might be mended; isn’t it cold for them at this season of the year?” The solemn turnkey, rubbing his palms as if not altogether insensible to tho wind, said sagaciously, that a “wimmin” had the recent effrontery to Eunoh the glass out of the window, so that her fins and might pass a grog bottlo to her. He had therefore determined, out of retribution to all womankind, to insist upon the pane remaining broken all winter; after whioh he launohed into an eloquent tirade against all females. “ Wimmen ain’t got no right,’.’ said be, " to take up our time; they are a nuisance, and oughtn’t to come here. The law won’t allow you to He rough with ’em, and they knows it, so they are a heap o’ trouble. 1 bad a wimmen to manage last night; dog’on if she didn’t try to bite me, ah’ there waß no use a’ hlttin’ her. for she ma.de filch a noise as drawod people around the winders,and the Sergeant said he couldn’t allow it. There ought to be somo other place for wimmen; they ain’tgot no right here, and Is a nuisance.” ‘ Oell No. 2 was appropriated to the houseless, whether poor or inebriated; cells. No. 4 and No. 6 to parties arrested on suspicion, or held to answer the result of investigation upon certain charges In No. 4 there was already a prisoner. lie had been confined as a witness in a certain murder case, and having no friends toenter bail for him, seem ed destined to a temporary residence in h|s un wholesome quarters. “Cap’n,’* said he, addressing the. turnkey through tho orifioe at the bottom of the oell, “ for God’s-sake, how long are you going to keep me here? I ain’t done nothing that Uyo.got to be locked up like a dog, and’feqon confounded soup and soraps.-’ “ qo ’long,” said the estimable and 8 of the keys, “ the alderman’s ordered you to bp lock ed up; we aint got nothing to e&y.” - “ I say,” said the * njan, that itW ap outrage. I went into a place to got a drink, and iamem» low struck another, whioh I couldn’t shot my eyes to help from a seein; so I’m locked up, and the man as did it has gone free Yon goin’ to keep me here till you eatoh him? Spose you don’t do It for a year—say ?” • {i Go ’long,” said the turnkey; a can’t attend to you.” . * The man continued to exclaim that it was an outrage. - Just at this time wo heard the ‘ramping ot feet np stairs, and hastened above to see the new ar rival. • It was a wife-boater, very oowardly and brutal in guise and appearance. ' The Sergeant searched him; The fellow was very pale;'his shirt was torn, and his hair matted, as thongh he had woken from a drunken sleep. “Isay,» said he; with a coarse tone of bravado; “ you got to ’rest her, too; eho pulled my hair and broke my bpttler-d—n her.” “ Go 'long,’’ said the estimable turnkey; “ amt you ashamed to ory out agin your wifeV* ■ “ No, I aint;“ said the prisoner, rolling kUeyes end working his heavy jaws; “ what is she, I want to Know, but a ?*' * ’ “Oh? Tununas,” said a broken voice at tbe door, as a woman with a great red mark on her forehead, swollen and rapidly turning blue, el-‘ bowed through the orowd and approached him—i “ain’t it enough, Tummar, that you should heat' me, and turn the ohildern out 0’ doors, and emaeh all the winders, and break my ’art without oaUing' me that?” ' * She put her 1 hands to her head and burst into tears. “Toh—l with ye/’ safd tho squaliid man un moved, knitting his eyebrows and sneering as he Bpoke ; “ what do ye come here for with your baby face and snivelling eyes? Go homo to yer brats!” He cursed her again; she only looked at hip). What a look! The agony of regretful years, trampled, but always loving, was softened in her ey«. A* broken heart seemed melting up and dripping away in the tears that streamed over her bruises. “Tammaß,” sho said, not with a burst of anguish, but a quiet and pleading tenderness, “ when you was sober and hard workin’, and let rum and bad oompany alone, you wasn’t what you are. Ton didn’t come home to beat Lord knows j’m a workin’ my fingers to tha for the ohUdrep. Then you was cornin’ on in the world, and we' was proud pf you - How do you daxt to cell me suoh names after raisin’ this welt on my ’ed, and testin' the clothes off o’ my baok?” The man growled something, indicative of shame if not of repentanoe. When he was led away to the oell the woman begged for his release, and was sure that he would not beat her again. When he had sone5 one down the stairway, and we heard the coll oor shut, she raised her hand to the blaok knot on her forehead and went out sobbing. We ventured to say that this was a hard case, at whioh the Sergeant, with a turn on his bee), said: “So it was; mighty hard ;'Vbut that the woman onght to have lftown tho worthless pharag ter of the man before she married biml “ He allwers was a brute, ’’- said the man of all eorts, entering the caee on a slate. “ Bo ought to §et six montns below this time, though it won’t 6 him much good!” • We were taken into the second story, and shown the sleeping-room of the officers. Small Iron cribs or bedsteads were arranged in three rows down the long floor, and kalf ot them were tenanted by targe-limbed men, snoring solemnly, and fast asleep. The gas was turned down in the room, and through the dinf'light the huge forms of tho sleepors were disoerned. Theirs Is a sad life and a thankless duty. Three years of official labor—a change of administration —a summary dlsoharge. When tho brazen badge is thrown aside,' all enmities incurred in the faith ful discharge of duty roour to them. Tho associa tions of home aro denied thorn inthisstern bivouac, and the citizens, whose hearths are defended in tho prowling hours*, grumble &t breakfast of ths legion of “loafers” sustained by ta^eaof their toil, and read' with delight, fn tho penny paper, somo sneer upon their oraor. The idlepe?* of a few re dounds to the abuse of tho many, and if a odd and hungry officer pauses in a oorner tavomtowanu himself at tho stove, or undergo that imbibition common to mankind, he Is straightway reported to bis lieutenant, and his number despatched to tbo* Mayor. A select museum of harmless curiosities was then unlooked to us, consisting of sundry out-throat in- token. at various times from innocent prisoners. ' The first shelf, was .filled with iron kruokles, averaging in weight a pound and & half. None of them fitted ovor the second knuckle; a handle fitting Into the palm sufficed for a fearful thrust: neither bone nor musole could resist a lunge from these in the handl of a desperate man. Firearms of all kinds filled three shelves, from the horse pistol of antique manufacture, with flint look, end barrel of heavy wrought iron, to the handsome revolver of Colt’s patent, ivory handled and richly? chased upon the silver' mountings Bludgeons of all or ders of delicacy were remarked. One of these weighed sixteen pounds, and appeared to have been a bell clapper. Most of the knives were of butoh or’s pattern; there was a motley assortment of razors, and a fair sprinkling of borne, sheath, apd dirk knives’ ' With suoh humanizing weapons of good will to man, do hundreds of our ruffian chiy? airy tread the highways at night, under tho ohuroh ahadowfl, md PNW tolew at sowe eursory window, whore a bapar by the bedside of the siok’ keeps vigil ovor tire sleeping, and sends its faint radi anoe through embraoing curtains into the lonesome Bt Tho articles In question, of whioh thero were some throe hundred, wore trophies of throe years’ oolleoting. How many artioles of similar pattern had fallen into the hands of offioerawe did not atk. Suoh reveries were disturbed by now arrests. The second offender was a bus peoted housebreaker, who had been caught in the act of soaling the fenoe of a suourban dwelling. Making soma resistance to an arrest, the officer bad applied a billy to bis erown, and the blood was streaming over hlfl-forehead. He was evident ly a German, wearing a pale mouataohe, curled at the ends, and looking vindictively through a fal low gray oyo. On searching him' a dhoemaher’s knife was found.

The estimable turnkey looked at these ereatures In the manner of a savage oriifo at borne theatrioal tableau At length, he said in* tone oommensu* rate with the depth of the word : “ Well?" The tall woman looked up; the youpg one down; Johnny whimpered. ‘ The two said, simultaneously, “ What’s the matter with ye," said the turn* key, softly—“ Oan’t ye pay no rent ?" 't he woman explained, in a formal way, that the ohiidren belonged to the melanoholy woman who bad married her son. who waß very worthless and had run away.

The Sergeant offered to .take the ohiidren aßd lodge them on his own bed \ the woman re fused, and the party were disposed ot. in what the estimable turnkey called the “ bummer’s cell." In this place, we beg parden of all.parties named for this familiar recital. Aa the night grew apace new arrests were made; at midnight the sleeping polioemen were awa kened, marshalled, and despatched upon the beat: those who went out in the early evening returned and turned in to rest. In the two small calls, appropriated to the home less. twenty-seven persons slept that night. About two oclook in the morning a-terrible scream is sued from cell Noil, followed by a succession of fallings about and confused noises. It appeared, that Johnny in the huge coat had lain himself to sleep on the beaoh at the side of the cell, and a careless female lodger had ■ sat down upon him. To this he responded with a scream which awoke his mother, who made pugnacious demonstrations toward the woman.' 4* if Inspired with similar good humor,' the par ties in No. 2 instituted a similar difficulty. One man protested that he was being murdered, and a second asserted, that his intention merely amounted to a desire to “ polish him off." At length ell settled into stillness. We stole down onoe to the reeking oells and breathed a mo ment of the stifling air; then, in the late morning, sought the centre of the oity by a posy car. The evils of our.present mode of discipline at city station-houses will be deduced from the above. At present, there Is notbiog to sty; Thu Inundation . in the First Wabd— Scexbs and. Incidents. .The orevasse in the bank of the Delaware river, below' tbe ooal wharves, .assumes a more serious aspect than'it has, heretofore done. -We visited, the Neok, yesterday, . and found a broad extent of country completely inundated. About forty farm-houses are depopu lated, the water surrounding/them on every due, so that they wear* collectively, the appearance .of a scattered Venice LoDg atrips oT dike' Qr back furrow the broad surface of the water, and a' few trees lift their trunks from the tide. Wherevor a bit of meadow land stands uncovered, it is crowded with melancholy cattle. They*cluster around the doorsteps of deserted houses and look at tha floating pig-’pens as if very lonesome and de sirous of fodder., Files of fence separate fertile sores of tide-water, and a few stables drift about like errant arks seeking rest. 1 but finding none. The road leading to the' from the built-up portion oi the city IsorqifibTfed. About one hunured houses, mostly, frames,'afe, built a short distance below the old Southwark canal. These, of course, are surrounded by the water. Small boats were necessary in order to reach from* on© house to the other- These , buildings are oc cupied principally by poor Irish and oolored families. The breach in the dike below the ooal mart is about two hundred feet .wide; at high tide this is yawning like the mouth of a broad creek. - - The coal wharf, where a large number of-men nro employed, can only- be reached by means of boats from the Point road. The water extends as far b&ok as Smith’s meadows, on. old Second streol, thence to the southward as far as the Wil low gardess or Slonehouse lafle: ' ’ About fifty workmen are laboring at low.tide to fill up the gap. They are wheeling barrows of Olay into the broken dike-and a lime otowdof idlers walk daily down the strip of bank to witness the operation. The water has also overflowed Stamper’s lane, and all the old meadow farm houses, bams; pig pens, stables, obicken-coops, &6, are inundated. Xf&d the orevasse occurred during the " tmcking" or agricultural season its effects would have been very disastrous. Trial of £tkam Fire Engines.—.On Tuesday afternoon, a trial of a new steam fire'en gine, built for the Northern Liberty Hose Com pany, was announced to take place in the violnity of the bbse-house, New Market street, near Brown. The wind blew very strong, which prevented a full display of the powers of the maohine. One stream was thrown horizontally through an inch and-a qaarter nozale 254 feat. An attempt was made to throw two streams at once over the polo -at the comer ofßrown street, but it was found im possible, the wind catting the; streams off before they reached half way up, Yesterday afternoon a trial of the steam fire engine, built for the Southwark Engine Company, tookpl&oe on Washington street, between Fourth and Fifth, Second ward. The engine was supplied from a Birkenbine plug, near the corner of Fifth street. One stream, through an inch and ftELeigbth nozzle, was thrown 261 feet', and two' streams at onoe, through seven eighth nozzles, 214 feet each. Tho playing was with the wind, which bjjlw in a favorable direction Before the close, aa inch and an eighth streaip was thrown down Fifth street, bpi it did pot roach more than 240 feet. The steam pressure during the trial waa; about 125 mounds, and the power of the engine was taxed to its utmost ospacity. It is ol the same size and by the same builders as the Hope Hose steamer.. The trial shook the plug to and fro, which' did it no good. The frequent trials of steam-fire-engine* for display, when they are run at a high of speed, \z calculated to injure the plogs, and it is a matter.about which Councils or the Water Depart ment should exerotae some discretion; * The trials of steam fire-engines' In the streets have been so frequept as to be almost “ played out"' The pro per plaoe to try them would be at the wharves, where no injury would be done, except, perhaps, to the engine itself, by being overworked, and in tb&t oase the loss would full upon the proper parties. _ . The River, U arbor, and Pahk Police. —Mayor Henry signed the river, harbor, and park police bill on Monday, and it is now a law.' Thd ordinance provides for the appointment of a force of eighteen men, with » lieutenant and sergeant, who shall perform the’duties set forth in the bill. The portion of the new force whioh will be in ser vice at the park will be under the direction of the sergeant, while the river polico will be under the lieutenant. Two foqr-oared boats will be provided for harbor doty, and the men will be appropriately argued tot the peculiar duly in whioh they will he engaged. Hitherto the river front of the city h?s : been almost at the mercy Of river pirates. The polioe on Delaware avenue, and the private watch men on the whams and vessels, have been nnable to prevent depredations where the river pirates have boats at thoir command. Dry goods, gro oeries, pig-iron, orookery, and a great variety of other valuable property have been purloined from wharves and vessels, and, in some instances, the officers have seen the robbers running of with their booty, without the ability to pursue them qpon the water. The new arrangement goes into effect on the first of January next. There are numerous applications for places in this new division of the po(loe force, b,ut no appointments have been made thus far.
