You say, «The police srrangements were excellent and the scene Was not marked with the violent demon- strations so often witnessed.” Yes; “it was all quiet on the Potomac,” yest 5 Louis Napoleon on the same principle, “only more so," bas everything orderly on great oc casions. “It was noticeable that no eolored people were admitted into the galleries, and two-thirds of those present were ladies, bat few genuemen being fortunate enough to ob- tain tickets.” The colored people are citizens, are they not! “The ladies” were of Senator's LOCAL NEWS.

Pat Shay, another of «Slim Jim’s” friends, was committed to the Central Station-house yesterday, suspected of partici- pation in the above and other ‘ransactions of a disreputable character. He says he has been stopping atthe house of Mortimer’s wife, in Georgetown. ‘The parties had a hearing Inst night at head- earters before Justice Clark, when Horatio ister testified that he never saw the pens al- Jeged to have been received of him.

On Thursday he cailed at the office again, and desired that other aceounts be made up and ce-tified to, so that he could present them to Messrs. Riggs & Co., or other banks, and have them cashed before they wonld tnll due. By this time it had been discovered that Lieutenant Craig bad been paid at New York, ard the detectives were sent for, who promptly Tesponded and took him in custedy. After the evi-ence and the exhibition by the Devectives of a number of and blanks, same of which had heen filled out and others Partially. found in Bell's room, the accused made statement to the effect that he bailed from near Wilmington, Delaware: that he re- ceived the blanks from a man with whom he became acquainted at the National Theater, a few nights since: he did pot know his name: but the man said that Bell could make money | in the name of the whole people,” and yot the reople were kept away by astrong force.
