This completes the liet of their men, as far as they had pre arranged the matter, and verifies the list given in the Hxkarp upon the first disckesure of the scheme to demoraiise the allegiffnce of tho municipal police force, These captuins have been placed in a posi. tion of the most trying character, and the processes which bave been brought to bear in forcing their action should be understood in viewing their course. They are nearly ail located in the strong republican districts, and have been every day beset by all sorts of personal solicitations and influences, as well as conjured by their politica aflinities to take the steps one by one which they have taken. The one additional captain who reported tothe Board yesterday was Capt. Turnbull. The matter of these retorns, however, have now come to be regarded a6 mere forms, and duplicates are sent to both Boards neither being, of course, oblige to take official cognizance 0 acts which cannot well be utup inevidence. Those wards which report to the All Board comprise the Third, Highth, Twelfth, Fifteenth and Twemy-firet.

THE COMMISSIONERS ADVESTISE FOR AN OCOU- PATION.

Asacheap way of achieving this at tho cx- pense of the newspapers, following resolutions wero “unanimously” ordered on the minutes for the report ers:— Resolved, That the duties of the Board, set forth in sec- tion 6 of the law of April 15, relative to the “removal of nuisances existing in public streets, roads, places and high. ways, on the public health,” be referred to a special cgm- Bittee of two to report, as early as practicable, what. for the utmost security of our citizens of the police force, as well ag others, in reporting duties no- coats an wel ae wrongs commited, i ay part of the lice District.
