Interesting Particulars of the Capture of
Tybee Island.
U. S. SHIP POCAHONTAS, AT THE AucnonAGE,
SAVANNAII HARBOR. - TYBEE ISLAND,
November 24. )
EinTon 01 THE WASH/Z. - GT(ON STAR : The
steamer Phrg. Commander Jolla Rodgers, was
despatched by Dag Officer Dupont to reconnoitre
this point and ascertain the position and strength
of the rebels. Ile did so, and on his return to Port
Boysl he had the SMICCa and this vessel added to
his eototeand, And this morning, writhe rim to feel
the enemy, we threw a few shells into the fortiaca
tions, but, getting no response, we soon found that
the works were abandoned, and we have taken pos
session of them.
They consist of a strong Martell° tower, with an
et,treuehmsnt at the foot - of it, over both of which
the stars and stripes now float.
It is a most important acquisition, as the ship
channel to ,stf rannali passes within fiur hundred
yards, and its possession by us will block up that
post as tight as one may seal up a bottle with a
cork,
Fort Pulaski is doomed, for it is ours whenever
we think proper to take it, as it is within conve
nient shell range, six hundred yards. No vessel
will now leave or enter the port of Savannah with
out our permission during the remainder of the
war.
We now bold the harbor with the three steamers
—the Flag, Commander Rogers ; the Pocahontas,
Capt. Balch. end the Seneca, Capt. Ammon—but
no doubt will have other vessels sent here, and also
A strong garrison, as soon as Flag Officer Dupont

The abandonment of their strong works on Tybee

Theoplutus Parsons, LL. J? , on the Arrest
of Mason and Slidell
Prof. Theophiluo Parsons, of the Cambridge Law
School, h as published a communication in the Bos
ton Advertz.yer. which settles, as far as the legal
question is concerned, the right of Wilkes to arrest
the Confederate ambassadors. Prof. Parsons starts
fpna the plain rule of Sir William Scott adopted
and repeated by Dr. Phillimore : "You may stop
the ambassador of your enemy on his passage.'
This rule Sir William Scott professes to derive from
"Mattel and other writers on these subjects ;" in
other words, front the law of nations. Is there any
opposing authority, citttioning the validity or this
rule ? Prof. Parsons answers—None.
Its authority being established, the question
arises as to its meaning and applicability. Its
meaning is as plain as words can make it. It means
literally what it says. As to its applicability there
must be three elements in any case to which it ap
plies. "One is, the persons arrested must be am
bassadors; another is that they must be ambassa
dors from a belligerent Power toga neutral Power;
the third is, that they must be arrested while on
their passage Prof. Parsons thus proves that
Mason and Slidell come within these requirements.
Were they ambassadors? Yes, if Mr. Jefferson
Davis knows anything about it, and his message
is an authentic document. And it is pleasant to
believe that that message contained one honest
statement.
Were they ambassadors from a belligerent Power?
Yes, so far as England is concerned, if it be possible
for a civilized government to stand committed on any
one point Not only has she sought and made op
portunities for declaring them so, again antl
but it is on this very ground that the Government
of England acknowledges the validity of our block
ade of the Southern ports, which inflicts upon her so
much injury.
If it be urged that we do not call them &belli
gerent Power, - my first answer might be, that if
England were willing to regard the question as if
we bad taken persons who were not only commis
sioned as ambassadors, but as ambassadors from
traitors and rebels in arms against the country to
which they owe allegiance,
our case might be none
the - weaker. But Ido not propose to consider this
question, because, so far as England is concerned,
if it be possible for a State to be estopped upon any
one point, England is estopped from considering
the Southern Confederacy as anything but a belli
gerent Power.
Then, were they on their passage ? Yes, if such
a fact can be proved by any evidence. But it
is said that they were not on their passage from
a Confederate port to England, but from a West'
Indian island to England. That is to say, Scott's
rule is this : you may stop ambassadors from any
belligerent port to a neutral port, But if they can
;dip into an island, however small or barren, or
near the port they left (for the law can make no
difference here), they acquire at once all the privi
lege of ambassadors, and cannot be stopped after
they have left the jurisdiction of that island, nor
anywhere else in all the rest of their passage S One
must have little acquaintance with Scott, tostippoae
him to have uttered such nonsense. But, in fact,
he does not leave this matter open. He shows, not
only by his whole reasoning, but by express words,
that these privileges begin oniT when the whole
passage ends. What ho says is this; You may
stop the ambassador of your enemy on his passage.
_But v.hen has arrsved.... he becomes.... enti
tled to peculiar privileges.
Prof. Parsons disposes rapidly of the objection
that the Trent. being paid by the English Govern
ment for carrying the mails, was a public ship.
"The Trent," he says, "is only a public ship of
England, as much as the Cambridge horse ear
which carries the mail from Cambridge to Boston,
is the property of the United States, because our
Government pays the railroad company for carry
ing the beg, and puts it in charge of a post office
messenger.-'
Confining himself strictly to the legal que3tion
involved in the ease. Prof. Parsons arrives at this
general conclusion : ; 4 I am just a 1.4 certain that
had a legal right to take Mason and 81idell
from the Trefit, as I am that our Glovernmeut. 6.4
a legal right to blockade the port of Charleston."
A Reconnoissance beyond Springfield, Va.
WAsniNmros. Nov. :10.—A gentleman from the
Virginia aide of the Potomac, arrived to-day, stated
that the Fifty-seventh and Sixty-first New York
regiments, the latter under conunand of Colonel
Cone, made a reconnoissance from Springfield, which
is nine miles from Alexandria, on Thursday, and
went three miles and a half beyond our pickets
towards Mumma, when they discovered a rebel
force numbering, it is supposed, about 8,000 men.
They returned to their starting point, reaching it in
good order, and without casualties.

Large Cargoec_of Cotton Shortly Expect.
ed trout the South.
The achievements of our combined naval and
land forces are not barren victories. They have
solved the cotton question. Within a week large
cargoes of cotton will arrive at New York. Those
arrivals will continue without intermission. As our
armies advance, the cotton already stored will be
sentforward to market, and the crops will bo gath
ered and forwarded without delay. There will be
no occasion for manufacturers, foreign or domestic,
to desire the breaking of the blockade of Selltberll
ports. The Union navy and army have opened the
way to supply all the demand for this great staple,
the proceeds of the sale of which will be applied to
the payment of the expenses. The labor of the
Degrees will thus be made available, and until the
cotton-groviPg communities in which the cotton is
found return to their allegiance, the whole crop; as
far as it may be taken possession of, will be appro
priated by the Government to the public use.
Every lodgment made by our troops upon the
Southern coasts from this time forth will add to the
cotton supply, and at the same time strengthen
the Government, and effectually remove every
ground of complaint from the manufacturing dis
tricts of England and France.

THE CITY STATION HOUSES.
On Saturday we gave in outline the city govern
ment, and sketched the excellencies and defects of
the municipal police system_ We present today a
paragraph relative to each station house, and some
accompanying comments upon its lieutenants and
sergeants. . . .
TUE FIRST
_- and Second wards, The sta.
c,° n T ri !St 's" located on Fitzwater street, east of
Ifv - entieth. It was recently built by the city, at a
cost of Sll,OOO ; the former station being 4loya
reensing Hall, which has since been turned into a
military hospital. The new building is very pret.
Lily constructed, and presents a neat appearance to
the passer-by. It contains four cells for prisoners,
and two additional ones, expressly for lodgers, who
frequent the station in large numbers during the
cold weather. The cells are well ventilated, and
hardly present the appearance of places of confine.
ment. The number of patrolmen in this district is
forty-four, with one lieutenant. Joseph C. Fuller,
and two sergeants, Cornelius Alexander and John
McNamara. Lieut. Fuller served as a police offi
cer under the administration of Conrad, and part
of that of Ex-Mayor Vaux. He was apt-anted by
Mayor Henry as a sergeant, and subsequently pro
moted to his present position. The number of men
allowed to this district—which extends from the
Delaware and the south side of Christian street,
west of Brood to tho Schuylkill, and south of South
street—is rather small. The district has, within
the last few years. been built up some six miles.
The locating of 'the - present station at Twentieth
and Fitzwater streets was a very decided improve
ment, us numerous rows of buildings have sinee
Wen constructed, and the neighborhood, which he=
fbre was frequented by roughs and corner-loungers,
has become quiet and settled.
TEE SECOND DISTRICT
includes all of the Third and Fourth wards. The
station-house, or, as better known, Southwark Hall,
is located on Second street, below Queen. The Hall
is very large, and ample room is afforded. The
cells, four in number, are placed in the basement
of the building, and are poorly ventilated. This
station, during the winter season, is frequented by
hosts of lodgers, all of whom find accommodation,
although not of the most pleasant kind. The Se
cond police district contains some of the filthiest
and most disgusting lanes and alleys, where men,
women, and children, of all colors, live together.
)3vdipril street, from Sixth to Eighth, Baker and
Spafford streets, are fine specimens of ihis kind, al
though the denizens of these localities are generally
It harmless set. About 49 patrolmen are allowed
to the district, all of whom are needed. Lieut.
Frank Hampton is as old seaman, and a very effi
cient officer. This is the only position on the police
force he ever held. The sergeants arc Win. A.
Neff and Lemuel Selby.
ll=l
Tis station-house is located in Union street, be
tween Third and Fourth. Lieutenant, Samuel
tioldey ; Sergeant, Samuel McCauley; acting
Sergeant, Thomas Pierson. The force comprises
thirty-seven men. On the first floor are the roll
room and three unventilated cells. Last year the
latter were overrun with vermin, and emitted a
most intolerable stench. After a thorough purga
tion and fumigation of sulphur they were brought
into rather a more tenantable condition, and the
judicious application of whitewash relieved the
sombre aspect of their walls somewhat. They are
still capable of infinite improvement, without being
made absolutely luxurious.
All the male lodgers are furnishod )vitli sleeping,
accommodations in the cellar, either on coal heaps
or soft boards. This station•house is more resorted
to by homeless wanderers than any other in the
city, as ninny as one hundred and ten having been
accommodated in one night last winter, and the re
sult of their being crowded into coal-holes is an ap
parent necessity until measures of reform are taken.
This station-house (or a portion of it) was formerly
occupied as a private residence, which accounts for
its inconvenience. Lieut. Goldey, hoirever,"is a
philosophical gokt of puma and makes the beat of
everything. He first became connected with the
police force about twenty years ago, under Mayor
Scott's administration ; and, perhaps, no officer has
better improved the opportunities of the profession
for acquiring experience of its system and workings.
The most trouhleseina sections of the district are
Sixth and St. Mary's streets, Sixth and Lombard
streets, and along Pine mid Front streets. They
show a record, that the world, the flesh, and the
devil have had all to do in inditing.
THE FOURTH DISTRICT
Comprisit the Sixth ward, extending from the
Delaware to the east side of Seventh street, and
from the south side of Vine street to Chestnut—the
business part of the city in fact. The station-house
is an old city property located in Cherry street, be
tween Fourth and Fifth, and was at one time used
as a private dwelling. It contains four improperly
constructed and poorly-ventilated cells, that might
be improved by whitewash, and are characterized
by a very perceptible odor of foulness. In the
passage leading to them stands an upright box
about two feet wide, and seven feet high, known
as the shower-bath. Its purpose is to soften the
obduracy of refractory prisoners ; but wo are in
formed that it has never been used. It has stood
in the passage from time immemorial, and primers
have glanced at it awry, passing to confinement.
The number of lodgers accommodated per month
varies from three to four hundred. There has been
fully double that number of applicants, but the in
sufficiency of space has necessitated a refusal to
their Romig for shelter. The cellar of the build•
ing, it has been suggested. might be converted into
an additional lodging apartment. It is
sent used for any specific purpose, the cells being
on the first floor. About forty lodgers are nightly
sheltered, the females being appropriated a sepa
rate apartment from the males.
The police force comprises Lieutenant Bowers,
Sergeants Bartholomew and Dougherty, Operators
Gordon and Blackburn, and forty patrolmen.
Lieutenant Abraham Bowers is about thirty-five
years of age, and has been oennecte4 with the de
partment since 1851, as have also both of his ser
geants. The Fourth district containing by far the
largest amount of valuable property of any district
in the city, file responsible nature of Lieutenant
Bowers' office may readily be seen ; while his fit
-
Den for the post is best attested by the efficiency of
his police system, and the comparative security
which the district has enjoyed from fires, burgla
ries, et id ow sic genus.
This immunity is remarkable, when we reflect
that the district embraces a pmjerity of the banks,
banking-houses, places of public amusement, and
valuably-stocked wholesale stores of the city.
THE FIFTH. DISTRICT,
Including the Seventh and Eighth wards, is ono
of the quietest in the city, although a few years
since certain of its localities were infested with
gangs of ruffians, who would not hesitate at com
mitting any crime to carry out an object. Part of
this district, from South to Chestnut, was inhabited
by the notorious "Schuylkill Rangers," which
gang has now become almost extinct. The station
house, a neat and pretty building, about 22 feet
front and 120 feet deep, is located on Fifteenth
street, below Locust. The building contains six
eclls, four of which are in the basement, and, al
though not as perfect as they should be, are much
better than most of those at other police stations.
Two of the cells are en the first floor, and are very
clean and kept in reserve for prisoners and lodgers
of a respestable caste. Mare men are allowed to
this district than any other—the number being 61—
all of whom, however, are necessary. The Lieu
tenant Lil eo. W. Paulin, was first appointe d undet
Mayor'Conrad, and reappointed by Mayor Henry.
Be is a good officer, and much respected by the
citizens of the Seventh and Eighth wards. Messrs.
Charles Jardin and Matthew Britten are the ser
geants, and are attentive to the duties of their
office.
THE SIXTH DISTRICT
Which takes in the Ninth and Tenth wards, is
under the charge of Lieutenant Joseph Patten, an
able and experienced officer. Re served with
credit under Mayors Swift, Gilpin, and Conrad.
The station-house of the district is located in Pithert
street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth. It con
tains four cells, which, like the building, have been
constructed with a view both to health and comfort.
To the district are allowed sixty-two officers, with
the two sergeants, Thomas Pole and Lewis Lewis.
The beat on the Schuylkill, from Chestnut to Vine
streets, is the old haunt of the Rangers, who some
time since figured largely in police annals. The
district at the present time is very quiet and peace
ful, it seldom being that crimes of a serious charac
ter are committed within its limits.
E=l
Station-house stands back of the old Northern Li
berty Hall, Third street, above Buttonwood, and
was used as a "watch-house" several years since.
The district comprises the Eleventh and Twelfth
wards, in which aro located numerous " fence
houses," for the reception of stolen goods, and for the
harboring thieves and other criminals. The station
house, which is a poor, miserable building, and
which has long , since been declared a nuisance by
those residing in the neighborhood, contains five
cells, which are so poorly ventilated as to endanger
the lives of those confined within them. A large
cesspool is underneath each cell, which, on account
of not being -properly covered, renders the atme
glare foul and impfre. No other means of escape
is offered for this foul air except through the stair
way leading into the main room of the station
bruse. thus impairing both the health of the officers
and the prisoners confined in these loathsome holes.
The lieutenant, John A Franks, is an old police
officer, and was first nppointed as captain of watch in
the Northern Liberties_ Ile has been in the force
almost ever since, and wee reappointed by Mayor
Henry, The sergeants are Joseph Shocker and
George Deitz.
A portion of Spring Garden Hall, at Thirteenth
and Spring Garden streets, is used as a station
for the Eighth district. The portion now used was
formerly the '° old Spring Garden watch-house."
The station contains two large cells and ono or two
smaller ones, which are very poorly ventilated and
do not contain any water-closets. The sleeping
apartments for the officers are also poorly arranged.
The distriet comprises the Thirteenth and Four
teenth ward, and although at one time rowdyism
was rampant in certain pert?, at present it is in e
state of quiet. There are thirty-one officers to the
district, under Lieutenant Henry White and Ser
geants Wm. B. Johnson and Mark Thackara.
Lieutenant White's first experience in police busi
ness was as a special officer under Marshal Keyser.
He was appointed lieutenant by the present Mayor,
and is much respected by the citizens of the Thir
teenth and Fourteenth wards.
THE NINTH DISTRICT
Station-liouso is located at the corner of Twenty
third and Coates. The building was constructed
last year, and presents a very handsome appear
ance, bearing a striking resemblance 'to the First
district station. It is provided with four well
constructed cells for prisoners, and two for lodgers.
The district comprises the whole of the Fifteenth
ward, for which thirty-three men are detailed.
This force is rather small, as the ward is infested
with numerous disorderly gangs, known as "Blood
Tubs," " War Dogs," Spiekets," &c., whose bur
glarious operations have from time to time been
published, These gangs are fast being numbered
among the races that were. A portion of the ward
known as Corktown, in the vicinity of Fairmount,
requires constant watching. Until recently John
Bonus was the lieutenant of this division, but ho,
was succeeded by John Lovaire. an old and able
officer of the Deserve Corps, Ho was also ono of
the Keyser police, and for his efficiency and
high character was promoted by Mayor Henry
from a private to a lieutenant. He has introduced
many important improvements in the workings of
the Ninth police district, since WS appointment.
The sergeants are James Woolridge and James Orr.
The building occupied as the Tenth police dis
trict station-house is owned by the city, and was
built for the aommiasioners of the district of Ken
sington, in 1833. The basement is appropriated to
the alderman's office and cells. The walls of the
latter are covered with hard cement, and furnished
with seats separate almost half an inch from the
wall, so that vermin are compelled to keep their
distance. They are
. provided with water-closets,
whose purification is Ingeniously effected. This de
vice was original with Lieuteliatit Spear, and has
been introduced into the Nineteenth ward and Se
cond-district station-houses. Ventilation is pro
cured by a barred window, which cannot be seen
from the street, and does 'Mt admit of the passage
of whisky to the prisoners. The cells are all heated
by a stave pieced in the centre of the ward.
The attaches of the station-house consist of Lieut.
sergeants, two telegraph-operators, forty
patrol officers, and two turnkeys. From 7A. M.
to IP. Id. ten men are detailed for duty. They
are relieved by another detachment of ten mon,
who remain on duty until 6 P. M. From 6P. M.
until 12 o'clock midnight twenty men are upon
duty, who, at that time, " turn in," and give the
first squad a chance to distinguish themselves. The
longest boat in the ward is four square blocks—
very nearly two miles. Two of the officers for
merly attached here are now lieutenants in the
army—one of them in the signal corps.
Lieut. Spear was born in - France, in 1824, being
now in his :17th year. When quite a child he was
brought to this country, and has never permanently
resided beyond the limits of the Sixteenth ward of
this city. At the commencement of the war with
Mexico, he joined Company A, of the New Jersey
Battalion, Capt. Mickle, and was shortly afterwards
promoted to an orderly sergeant Mr. W. L.
Young, one of the operators at this station-house,
was adjutant of the same battalion. Upon the con
clusion of the war he returned to this city, and
worked at his trade (tin-roofing) for nine years,
when he was placed upon the police force. Ile
took charge of the Tenth-district station-house on
June 28, 1856—up to which time, and after the
passage of the consolidation act, it had been occu
pied as a private residence. Lieut. Spear is of:tall
and commanding figure, affable manner, and reso
lute, energetic character—in fact, the man for the
position.
From 1,000 to 1,200 men have left the district for
the "wars." The old dilapidated row of two
story frame tenements on Fourth street, above
Master, known as " China Row," still remains un
diminished_ "Dead Rabbit Row," in Second
street, above Master, still courts its lawless noto
riety, and Ball's Bluff," at the Canal and Me
chanic street, formerly occupied by the venerable
Captain Barrett, and known as "Barratt's Land
ing,' still snakes the night most hideous. A bird's
eye view of these localities would mock the timid
public. end curdle its sense of modesty, and there
fore we forbear.
Nevertheless, the fact is patent that the effect of
the war has been to diminish crime. About 250
arrests, mostly for trivial offences, are here made
per month. When Lieut. Spear came into office
the number sometimes reached 400 monthly, and in
the month succeeding the enactment of the consoli
dation law no less than 700 persons were arrested
in the district.
On the first floor are the lieutenant's office, pri

and damp enough for all unnecessary purposes.
being situate at the extreme northeast corner of
the building. On the walls hang the portrait., or
several prominent Philadelphians, such as Mayer
Henry, Chief Ruggles, ex-Mayer Vain:, a photo
graph of the Scott Legion Regiment, and a well
executed sketch in oil of a French color-sergeant
dying with the banner in his hand. In an oppo
site corner are the colors of Company C. Scott Le
gion, of which Lieut. Spear was captain in the
three-mango campaign.
The fire-proof contains the old records of the
district of Kensington, as well as a number of old
ballot-boxes. Their preservation for so long a
time is conclusive evidence that they must have
been "stuffed." Hero also is the repository for
unclaimed stolen goods. Fire-proofs should be
introduced into every station-house.
On the second floor are the officers' sleeping
apartments, two in number, adjacent to which are
the sergeants' apartments. The main sleeping
apartment was many years ago occupied by the
Kensington Ledge of Free Masons, and the sot'•
geants' rooms were used as ante-chambers. At
the head of the stairs is a gong, which wakens the
men at night fifteen minutes before roll call.
Is the largest built-up district in the city, including
the whole of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth wards,
and part of the Twenty-fifth ward. The station
house is situated on Trenton avenue, below Dau
phin street, and presents an unusually handsome
appearance. It has seven well-ventilated cells
above ground, and the accommodations for the
officers are most complete. The force consists of
forty-six men, which, owing to the size of the dis
trict, is deemed insufficient. Some of the beats are
two miles in extent, besides which there are cer
tain localities in the district inhabited by charac
ters of whom tho law takes feequent cognizance.
Very frequently the officers, while in the dis
charge of their duties, are severely handled. The
localities known as "Louse Harbor," "Flat-iron
Row," "Pluck Hill," and many others, are the
abodes of some of the most noted characters ea the
police record. In the neighborhood of Norris
Square, Nineteenth ward, the Crawford murder,
with which all our readers are conversant, was
committed. The police force is under the able
management Lieutenant John R. Whiteraft,
assisted by Sergeants Ed. It. *son and Hugh
Alexander. Lieutenant Whitcraft was formerly a
painter, and was first appointed by the present
mayor.
THE TWELFTH DISTRICT
This station house is located at the northeast cor
ner of Tenth and Thompson , in the old city proper
ty formerly . used as Commissioners' Hall. It was
converted into a station house immediately after
consolidation. At that time but one small room
wee devoted to the marshal's police. It is not reA
markable, except ashavingf
and
our
unhealthy ill-ventilated
cells, which arc generally
fulsome
It is provided wius twenty-stx patrolmen, not as
many as could be advantageously employed in the
preservation of the public peace. The superior offi
cers are Lieut. Wm. Jacoby, Sergeant Walter
Brode, and Thomas Ford. Lieut. Jacoby was ap
pointed by Mayor Conrad, in September, 1854, and
has been in the department ever since. He is an
able officer, physically, mentally, and muscularly,
and, withal. an upright man, Til9 district was for
merly notorious for its lawlessness. It has under
gone a wonderful improvement in this respect.
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT
Includes Dianaynnit and North Penn Township.
The otation-house is on Msehnnie street, above
Christian, and was built in 1840 by the County
Commissioners for a " lock-up." The building is
the most poorly constructed of all the polito stations
in the city. It contains four badly-ventilated cells,
which are so arranged as to render the sleeping
apartments for the officers almost unfit to bc occu
pied. The district contains only 14 officers, which
is by no means a sufficient number, as there are nu
merous large and extensive factories in Manayunk,
which cannot receive the proper attention that
should be paid them. Some of the officers' patrol
beats form one to two miles in extent. The Lieu
tenant, John W. Brown, was first appointed by
Mayor Henry—this being his first experience in po
lice business—nevertheless, he is well fitted for his
positjon, and thoroughly understands its duties.
The sergeants are Edward ilolgate and John S.
Cameron. The district is not infested by any noto
rious gangs, and is very well managed.
THE FOURTEENTH DISTRICT
Copiprises Cirermantown and the township of Bristol.
The statiomhouse is situated on Main atreot,
above the railroad depot. It is city property, and
was built expressly for the purpose. It contains
two cells. Twelve officers are attached to it. As
the beats are mostly very long, the number is in
sufficient. Nevertheless, breaches of the peace are
rare in this latitude, thanks to the tact of « the ma..
nageinent." Lieut. lice. W. Dungan served under
Mayor Conrad, and was for five years high oonsta
ble. He was appointed sergeant by Mayor Henry,
and, upon the resignation of Lieut. Geo. Taylor, he
succeeded to that officer's position. Sergeant Dick
inson. of this district, (an efficient gontleman,) has
not yet had his colaborer appointed.
THE FIFTEENTH DISTRICT
The station-house of this district stands in Frank
ford street, below Church, and was built last sum
mer by the city at a cost of $5,000. The building
is well put together, and is provided with all con
veniences. It has four fine cells, and the sleeping
apartments for the men are large and airy. The
station is provided with a fire bell, which could not
well be dispensed with, on account of the great dis
tance front the Stet* House. The foreo tenalste of
only twelve officers, which should be double that
number. Lieut. Thomas W. Somers is always at
his post, and manages his business to the satisfac
tion of the residents of the district. Chicken steal
ing was at one time carried on there to a consider.
able extent, but through his exertions the thieves
have been arrested and the evil has prettymuch
abated. Edward E. Williams and Ammon Holden
act as sergeants.
THE SIXTEENTH DISTRICT
Comprises the entire Twenty.fourth ward. The'
station-house is located in what was formerly the
Commissioners' Hall, West Philadelphia. The
buildingwas commenced about ten years since by
the Livingston Lodge, I. 0. 0. F, but they being
unable to complete it, it was sold to the Commis
&Hera of the diatriet, Who finished it. It is now
owned by the city.
The portion of the building occupied comprises
three rooms on the third floor, and four cells in the
basement.
Th 9 Station 1$ umicr tilo command of Lieutenant
Tolbert, who is a native of this city, and an old re
sident of the Twenty-fourth ward. lie is about
forty-five yenrs of age. Ills connection with the
department dates from the inauguration of Mayor

Henry. Prior to that time, he was employed as
chief clerk in Keen Lt: Brother's lumber yard. He
is a faithful and cflicient officer, and number.; hosts
of friends.
llis linen comprises twenty men. including two
operators, two sergeants, (Manuel Saunders and
Edw. Lister,) and one turnkey, leaving but fifteen
men for active duly. Of these thorn are on duty
during the day as fellows: One in West PhiMel
phia, e., west of Park street and south of the
Lancaster Pike), ono in Hestonville, (i. o , north of
the Lancaster Pike and west of the Schuylkill), and
ono in Kingsessing, (i. 0., southeast of Park street
and south of the Lancaster Pike and Market street).
The whole of the Twenty-fourth ward—one of the
largest in the city, if not the largest—is thus par
celled out for police protection. During the night
Iwo men are placed upon each beat. It is very
probable that, when the squares are closed, and the
river is frozen over, the - harbor polico will be dis
tributed among the wards short of men.
The Twenty-fourth ward is becoming thickly set
tled, and is, perhaps, the most rapidly increasing
in the city. Per these reasons it is entitled to ample
consideration. Nevertheless, the present force has
effected a marked reform; so that barn burning
and eltickeu stealing have now become almost ob
solete.
The following statement shows the number of
persons arrested in three months of this and last
year:
August
September
October
Total
The number of arrests is generally larger in sim
mer than in winter. One of the evils incident to
outer station-houses is the inducement they offer to
agfahey, in providing necommedations for lodgers.
In winter, ns many as two hundred of these home
less creatures have here sought shelter in a single
month.
Was. organised on the first of March,lB6l, and con
sists only of eight men under the charge of a ser
geant, John W. Goodwin. Their duty is to pro
tect the Fairmount park. They occupy a room in
the rosin building at the park and convey their
prisoners to the station at Twenty-third and Coates
streets. Since their oromisation they have saved
the city considerable money by preventing tlio de
struction of trees, shrubbery, de., at the park.
Sergeant Goodwin was formerly a private of the
reserve corps. but on account of his ability was
promoted to his present position lie also served
under Mayors Vann and Conrad_
Perhaps the most important department of police
service is that which has been inaugurated by the
present city administration for the preservation of
law and order on the river front. Indeed, it has
been a matter or surprise that Philadelphia, a lead
ing commercial city of the Union, should have
hitherto entirely overlooked a question of so much
importance to her mercantile interests. The river
and harbor police, with its small force of ten men,
ha. 4 done wonders in an unassuming way ; but we
have already given a full and accurate sketch of its
operations, and have little to add except in a
general way.
Lieutenant Benjamin Edgar, its chief, is an old
experienced seaman, and cannot be taught an iota
of his numerous duties. The coxswains aro William
Grimes and Benjamin Meyers. The station-houge
is barely entitled to be considered a lodging-room,
and is furnished with no cells. In consequence of
which pleasant arrangement, all prisoners arrested
have to be taken around to whitlaersocver a lock-up
can he found—of course at the risk of Cash , f 8.56U.6
or escape. We are glad to see that the city is dis
posed to do something for its credit. At the last
meeting of Select Councils a resolution was offered
. (and adopted ?) to inquire into the expediency of
increasing .
the force omen. There is no particular
necessity for prosecuting the inquiry, in our opi
nion ; the question is not so much of expediency as
of necesslty. The merchants along the wharves
desire that their property shall be protected, and
they will have an increased force of river police by
private subscription, if in no other way,
