Pat- riek’s Cath: dral, &c., on Friday night, On account of the report published on Friday afternoon in the Exira Blatt der Reform, that there was golng to be a procegeion of the ‘‘ Know Nothings’’ in front of the Archbishop’s residence in Mott street, there was great excitement among the Catholic portion of our citisens The news soon epread throughout the city that the Ger. man citizens, Italians, and ‘Know Nothings” were to express their regard for the Nunclo, by burning him in effigy before the Archbishop's house, where he was un- derstood to be stopping. Upon repatring to this spot, about 12 o’clook on Friday night, husdreds of Irishmen were found congregated sround the different corners, armed and equipped for any emergency They wero realous in their praise of his Holiness the Pope, Archbishop Hughes, and the blassed Nanolo. Addressing the first squad the following dialogue took Place: — “What's the excitement here, that so many are con- gregated together !’”" “Sure, and the Datch aod Kuow-Nothings are going to burn s straw man bere to-night.” “Going to burn a straw man? Well I am sure thore is nothing so horrible in setting fire to a bundle of straw, that it should call forth so much indignation es is here manifested.” ‘Faith, and they’re going to burn Bedini in effigy; and sure, they’d better think twice before they dojt, the dirty blackguards,’” “Who are going to do all this?” ‘The damned Dutch it ia that’s going to do it. Aud faith and they wont go home with the same story if they come here; I can tell ’em that, now.’ “How many of you are there ready to defend the Nun- cio from this attack ?”” “There are thousands of us within eall. If they try to burn the Cathedral they will find some sharp shooters bebind them walls.” (Pointing to the walls around the Catheiral ) ‘Why, you don’t suppore they are going to burn your churches, do you?’ “Sure and we would’nt trust ’em out of our sight. Faith and they’l! burn ali our churches if they can,”” “ Them ‘ Know Nothings,’ too, have got a baadin this affair,” said another o. the group. “Faith, Pat, and they wont kuow rothin’ if they come bere; I ean tell ’em that.’ “Bure, Mike, but they'll feel something, [ve got them big shot in my pooket and be sisy now, if I dou’t give seme of the biackguards the benefit of them.” [lars the epokeeman exbibited # large shot pouch, ant said he had pistola, though he showed nene, “ Why sre you armed with frearma! ’? “You don’t catch en Irishman aslerp 60 omsy !

The United States mail s'eamship Baltic, Capt. Com- stock, sailed from her wharf at the foot of Canal strevt, for Liverpool, at ten minutes past 12 o’olock yesterday af- ternoon. A degree of excitement more intense than usual was manifested by a larger crowd than ordi. pary, which had assembled to witness her departure, anc, it was said, to manifest openly the hostile feeling they entertained towards His Excellency, Cardinal Bedini, who was expected to be amongst the parsengers. Ip this crewd there were abont four hundred Garman young men, with a sprinkliog of the leaders and members of the ' Know-Nothing’ Clab of New York.

Reports of the Chief of Police THE NEW POLICE U-IPORM. In answer to a resolution of the Board of Alde« men the Chief of Police reports:—- That there are four members of the Police Depart- ment who refuse to wear the uniform. Tney were suspended, and tried before the Commissioners of Police, and afterwards the case was carried up to the Supreme Court, before which Court it is now vend ing. Iam not acquainted with their reasons for re- fusing to wear the uniform. GABBAGE AND ASHES IN THE STRERTS—CLOSING OF RUMHOLES ON THE BABSATH. Tn answer to a resolution of the Board of Alder- men, asking the reasons why the ordinances are not enforced in relatioa to throwing garbage and ashes in the streets, &c., the Chief of Police reports: — That the ordinances in relation to throwing gar. bage and ashes in the streets hava, on various ocoa- sions, engaged the attention of tbe chief officers of the Police Department, and that every effort has been made to prevent a practice so injurions to the health of the city. To show what haa been done, { herewith enclose copies of the several general orders (six in number) that have been issued to the depart ment. Under those orders a number of delinquemt policemen have been tried and suspended from pay. ‘et even these stringent measures were found f n= adequate to entirely abate the evil, as it was found that the public did not support the authorities. Moreover, great Bernt resulted from the enfores ments of the law, in the following mauner:—Gar- bege and ashes are generally thrown into the streets by women, who take care of their own households, and when a policeman undertook to arrest them ne found that he had to’ foreibly drag a mother awsy from her helpless children, and leave them exposed to the accidents and casualties incident to childhood, and the feelings of the man would overcome the sternness of the officer, and he would wa'k away de- termined to suffer the consequences rather than to outrage the feelings of humanity. In many instances the policeman would insist oo arresting the offender, although stoutly resisted in the performance of his duty; and in those cases the magistrate would im- pose a nominal fine or dismisa the case with a repri- mand. In almost every instance where an arrest was made the indignant busband, backed by numbers of respectable citizens, would enter a formal complaint against the policemen, so that tney were har- rassed and perplexed on every side. Resort was bad to the Corporation Attorney whenever the name of the offender could be ascertained; but this also proved ineffectual. One, two, and sometimes a cozen families, resided in the same house, and they watch the motions of the po licewen, and ile they are inspecting other parts of their posts sshes aad garbage would be thrown isto the streets; and instances have been known where a special watch has been kept for days in succession without being able to detect the offenders. Again, frequent complaints have been, and are still, made to ~e, that garbage and ashes are allowed to remain in the front of the dwellings of citizens for six, eight or ten days at @ time, without being re moved, aud the utensils containing the same are needed by the families, and, as a last resort, they are compelled, by the negiect of the authorities, to empty them in the streets, To fiue or arrest citi: uader such circumstances would be a gross wrou; ‘fo prevent the evil compiained of other remedies are imperatively necessary. Curts, to remove offal, &c., should pass each house at least once a day; and where there are a number of families oecupyiag thesame house, tight boxes should be placed in ocak of the house, as @ receptacle for the garbage and ashes, the contents of which should beremoved every dar. and the boxes thoroughly cleansed, ‘ relation to removing the snow from the side- walks, ] would say, that on the occasion of the snow that fell I gave particular instructions to the cap- tains ot the distritts to have the ordinauces enforced in relation to having the enow removed from the sidewalks. A few days afterwards I was severely injured while engaged in the discharge of my duties, in consequence of which I was confined to my house up to the time of the passage of the resolution. I have been ivformed, however, that it was impossible for cit zens to remove the snow from the sidewalks without injuring the pavements, and consequently the ordicance was not viclated. The closing of rumholeson the Sxbbath day, is properly the duties of the magistrates of she several wards, and it they sre eilowed to keep open the blame attaches to the Aldermen aod their Assist- ants, and not to the Police Dep rtment, as appear from the sections of the laws relating to the gubdject. haere 8, Rev. Stet vol. 1, p. 75, secs 70,71, and J The Alderman and Councilmen of the Ninth ward, nested the assistance of tho Police Department in enforcing the law, which has been promptly aceord- ed to them, as it will be cheerfully accorded to the Aldermen and Councilmen of any other ward who wil enforce the law. Respectfully, ‘ Geo. W. Mars Chief of Police. From Minnesota. The St. Paul Pioneer of the 5th inst. contains the following tla i ap On Monday night, the 26th ult., two of our citizens were assaulted, near the corner of Roberts and Fifth streets, by some person or persons, who approached them from bebind, and felled them to the earth with a slung shot. Both the young men had their skuils fractured in several places by the blows, from the et- fects of which they have since died. Mr. John Clark, one of the wounded men, expired on Friday morn- ing, the 30th,and Mr. Philip Hull, the other, on Wednesday morning, the 5th. This is the first case ot premeditated murder that has occurred in our city, and tae wanton barbarity of the act shows that we have ainong us some of the most depraved of our race. The young men were both respectaule :ae- chanics, and both had money upon their persons, but it Was not molested. Neither of them could give any clue by which the perpetrators of the deed could be traced. The Legislature of the Territory convened on the 4th inst. in the Capitol.
