The Richmond Committee have no- tified the New York Committee of Arrangements that they will arrive in this city about the 26th inst.,for the purpose of consulting with reference to the programme of ceremonies, It is probable that the plan alluded to in yesterday’s Heraxp will be agreed to, with the exception that perhaps all ceremonies at the disinterment will be ‘omitted, the immediate relatives of the deceased only being present. A meeting of the Virginians resident in New York was held last evening, at which Major H. Hill presided. There Were about sixty persons present. ‘Tne committee of fifteen appointed to report a plan of procedure, reported that they had corresponded with the Richmond committee, and had received from them an acknowledgment, expressing pleasure at the steps al- ready taken and hoping that the Now York Virginians would be accorded the honor of forming the immediate escort of the body. The committee had attended the meetings of the Common Counei! committee, and reportea the num! adopted a badge to be worn on the occasion, to consist of the State arms of Virginia, which would be ready in due time. They were unable to report exactly the order of ceremonies, but thought that tne body would be disin- terred on the 2d proximo, lie in state at she City Hall until the morning of the 3d, and then be embarked for Richmond ‘The report was adopted, with the exception of a recom- mendation to appoint a marshal, which was laid over. ‘The Cramman read the following letter from Gen. Scott, OBSEQUIES OF PRESIDENT MONROE IN 1831. ‘The imterment of Presideat Monroe’s remains in their present resting place in the Second street cemetery, took place on the 7th of July, 1831, and was one of the most Imposing ceremonies ever witnessed in thie city.

Metropolitan Police Parade. BEVIEW OF THS NEW YORK POLIO# POKI8 IN TAB PARK BY GOVERNOR KING—WHAT GoveRnon SAID AND DID—ACCIDENT TO INSPEOTOR GENKRAL BRUCR—VERKY FEW SPROTATORS—POLICAMEN’S GALA DAY, BTO., BTC. The firet general parade and inspection of the Metropo- litan police force of this city, a8 constituted ander the Board of Police Commissioners, took place yesterday under the most favorable auspices. The day was every- thing thet could be desired—bright and balmy—while there}was just wind enough to temper the heat of the san’s re. Io honor of the occagion, the flag containing the city arms was hojated on the City Hall, while the national en- sign floated over each wing of the building. The police hea:lquarters in Broome street were similarly decorated. For weeks paat the qplice force have been preparing for this event, it being, in fact, their first appearance in public cn general parade, and it was their desire to appear as wellas possible. The Drill Sergeamts—officers Allen and Waterbury—have been actively employed in teaching the men fo keep step in line, and in every station house afl the spare time was occupied in drilling the men im squads. ‘One noticeable feature, however, about the parade of yesterday, was the /ittle interest the public manifested in it, Usua'ly, any kind of a parade calls out a great num- ber of people as spectators to witness the show and hear the music; but although this turnout was ex- tensively advertised, one might walk from one end of the eity to the other without knowing that anything anasual was ocourripg. In the Park, also—the general rendesvous of all the floating population of the city on any pupiic oc- ry, casion—there very tow ple comparatively, al- though there was the additional attraction of a live Gov- ‘ernor and a host of minor officials todra* a crowd thither. In fact, there was no pubiic intercst in the parade, and the only feeling on the part of those who saw it was some surprise that so large a body of men could keep themselves out of sight eo effectually when their services are required by our citizens. ‘The inspectors and their men were required to present themselves at the police headquarters in Broome street at 124, o'clock, and with commendable puactuality they were op hand at the time ordered. Six hundred and etx- teen men in the paraie, and the remainder— about one-third of the force—were kep; on auty in the several wards to preserve the peace and property of the city. Tn Broome street the force was numbered, and twenty- five men were put under the command of each A together with two sergeants, making twenty-eight in all in each command. The |ine was formed in regimental orier, ‘end at balf-past one o’ciock it broke into column by com- panies, under command of the Deputy Superiotendent, and marched down Broadway, headed by the Drum corps of the Seventy-first regiment—Doaworth’s band occupied & position ip centre of tbe companies. The force filed ae 1 and wero drawn up in line im front of the ty Hall. During the morning Governor King accompanied Messrs. , Nye and Bowen to Brooklyn, to witness the potice im that city.
