About twenty warrants have been served on persons for driving their horses over the Long Bridge at a pace fastertban the law allows. Several have been disposed of, and the parties fined. The officers were directed to pay particular attention to the bridge, and they attended to the duty adage, ee It ix unpleasant, no doubt, to the partics to be hauled up for those otfences; but they will give the officers credit for attention to their duty. Tur Protic Gaounps.—The Chief of Police is making every effort to enforce all the laws for the protection of the public property within the lim- itsof thecity It is not the desire of the police to make cases; they would rather that no cause would exist for the service of a single warrant; buat when there does, it tsa duty that mast be tformed, and will be.
