For ho purpose of ascertaining the tone of feeling revailing upon the subject of the arrest, and the manner in which the news was received, ene of our weporters op Saturday night paid s visit to the ‘principal establishments where the “fancy” and their friends are wont to assemble; but it is not in the power of yen to convey any idea of the scenes and incidents, the ‘ving pictures of lite and nature with which such e mid- ‘might tour is embellished.

Ih is only ten o'clock, and there are not many in as yet; ‘yes from the conversation which falls upon the ear a8 we enter, we nd the prize fight is the prevailing topic. It tea ile awkward to intrude oneself in a squad of mivangers, theugh their sociability may be of & general @haracter; 80 we call for ‘‘toby’’ of the staple drink, mad take a seat at one of the tables near by. B requires but a moment or two to discover that ayers is by all odds the favorite, ‘and that not a doubt is entertained of bis success; but it te pleasan: also to notice that Heenan is rogardeiin a spirit of fairness, and that the interference with his Movements wiich has taken place is looked upon with no favorabie cyo. The impression is, however, that unicss ‘fhe amount of bail under which the Benicia Boy is beld $s too grest,"it bas been forfeited and paid by bis friends, apd the Sight already taken piace. One of the party says Ihe bad a bet on Gayers of one hundred to ninety, aud be will take another of the same kind, but hie com panions all think the same way that he «does, and io controversy arises to mar the harmony of this recerd. Some one suggests tbat Heenan had himself Mhrovgh the medium of his friends, because of @ lack of evefidence in bimzelf; but the idea is indignantly scoated ‘at by the whole crowd, and they agree toa man that he js as brave and honorable an_cpponent as ever stood within the area of a prize ring. There is ome disposition to censure Heenan and bis trainers for eoreener om ‘bree places, when, by judicious management ry Ine charsctcrtoed tho course of Sayers, he might have wecured quarters as eligible, safe and free from interrup- fdon as the present champion has done; but they do not make much point of this fect, be Beving that, if there is “fight” in Heenan, ‘there 6 no law is England which will prevent its being manifested, and no lack of Engliah friends around him who wil! see that he has fair play. ‘We must not linger longer here, however, for we have pot the ‘‘points,” and a long journey is before us.

Over there in the corner, barely visible through the dense cloucs of smoke, is a crowd of whom we are in search, The tall individual among them, with fine features, handsomely trimmed whiskers, fauhiess aitire and the invariable big diamond breast pin, whied always accompanies ‘‘the man about town,”’ is @ noted professional gentleman, who has been betting largely om Heenan, and is likely to be posted as to his movements. Approaching the group we find him swearing in monstrous proportions over what he calls the fou) play of the backers of the British champion. He says that ever since the ‘‘Boy’’—as he lovingly desig mates him—bas deen in England, he has been driven from piltar to post, with a view to interrupt his training and ‘throw — in oe pags which . I! prevent his ap- pearing on the groun roper condition. Our tall Tiel aaye he Banat any doubt whatever that the arrest of Heenan was entirely broughi about with a view to keep him confined mn prigon for two or more days and thus disturb tat physical equilibrium which his training is 0 essential to preserve. He talks “free” and forcivie; and a Sayers men in the crowd—little bot plocky—Drings bim up with » round turn by spunkily asxing for proof. Tall man says ho's got it, “stacks of #,” and quotes incident after incident to the point. Little aman stands on his dignity, and denounces the whole state- ment as a d—d lie. Voicee begin to run up the mut in tones more loud than musical, and the Tartine asks the gentlemen to be quiet or go out. They often & little, but tall gentleman don’t yield @ oot that John Heenan is au abused tudiviaua, and that if fair play is not shown him, or any partiality manifested towards Sayers, of which he avaiis himseif to determine the fight in his favor, he won't be permitted to show Jhimeeif in this city. The conversation bere becomes a Bitie mized, and Jeaving the gro2p tw their intellectual and elevated enjoyment, we wend our Way into, the open wr.

The ‘right wing” of the Seventh regiment, National ze ‘Deputy Superintendent, Guard, under the command of Col. Marshall Lefferts, gave the last one of a series of public drills or fétes to their friends Jast Tuesday night, at the spacious drill room of the new ‘State Arsenal, corner of Thirty-fifth street and Seventh avenue. Shortly after seven o’clock a regular tide of humanity were pouring into the Arsenal to witness the drili of the élite corps of New York military. ‘The drid room, which is of the grandest proportions, was illuminated by numerous jets of gas, and on either ‘end were two large reflectors. The north side of the room was appropriated for the auditorium, within which were five rows of inclined seats, very comfortably ar- ranged and commanding a full view of every part of the room, which were soon occupied by nearly one thou- sand epectators, more than one-half of whom com- prised part of the beauty and fashion of New York. These spectators were admitted on cards is- sued cepeciaily for the occasion, 80 as to exclude all im proper persons, and sustain the dignity for which the drills of the Seventh regiment have been characterized. ‘The supervision of providing seats for this large audience ‘was entrusted to Quartermaster L. W. Winchester, of the Seventh; Colone] Welsh, Avistant Commissary General; and Quartermaster Sergeant Weed. Suffice it to say, the duty ‘was performed in a systematic manner, and their efforts Cally appreciated by their guests. At haif-past seven o'clock the soldiers, dressed in ful) uniform, Decan to arrive, when they were marched to the centre of the room, arms were stacked, and the members dismissed to await the ‘‘Adjutant’s call” for the assem. Dling for the battalion, The soldiers soon mingled with the bury crowd. In a few minutes the drill room floor ‘was crowded with promenaders, presenting a grand tvut ensemtle which was enlivened by excellent music from ‘the National Guard Band—who were in full untform—the ‘bury hum of the varied conversation and the amiling fuccs of the laaies, presenting @ combination of circumstances rarely experienced on similar occasions. At eight o'clock the “Adjutant’s Call,’ the signal for the battalion to assemble, was sounded, when the soldiers formed, first by companies, and when the band played a lively march, the four companies of the ‘‘right wing,” nader the respective commands of Captains Shaler, Mon- roe, Price and Lieutenant Harrison, formed the batallion line. At this juneture the scene was interrupted by the srrival of a number of officers of the Brazilian corvette Donna Isabel, which sailed from this port yesterday, ‘Their appearance was greeted by applause from the regi- ment, end sigaificant amiles from the ladies. They were provided with foremost places to witness the drill. Alter the arrival of the companies in battalion line, Adjutant Harry Liebenau took command, and under his direction a regimental dress parade was conducted, by opening the ranks, arms presented, and the command of Colonel Lefferts, who eccupied « position opposite the cenize of the battalion. The troops were then exer cised in the manual of arms, sig the charge bayo. net, untixing bayonets, etc., all of whi The members of the police force in each district were called together, on the receipt of Mr. Carpenter’s note, which was read to them by the captains, who further instructed that all drinking places found open were to be visited and the proprietors summarily arrested. Tho precise orders of the captains to their subordinates might be stated thus:—“If you see any rom shop with doors open go in, and take out the contumacious owners thereof, who wiil be dealt with according to law.” It will be noticed that by the provision “if you see,” each police- man %s left a loophole through which to from en- forcing the law, for it is well knewn that pees as a clags, are fit subjects for blind asylums, ing troubled with very defective oy ‘on all oca- sions when ‘‘aeeing”’ implies “doing.” es, it is not necessary for pol en to look, even if there should happen to be rum shops in full biaston the line of their beats. They, like other free citizens, are at liberty to ehut their eyes while — such places, if 80 choose, and jt is presumed that our glorious gua availed themselves fully of this privilege yesterday, judg- ing by resulis. Some law-abiding liquor dealers, of course ol the law and shut up shops altogether, but the great of the bar rooms and drinking saloons were, as before stated, in full blast, while others “blinded the devil in the dark,” having their doors, to be eure, clored, but their windows unsbuttered in such @ way as to invite the passer in to take a ‘‘ quiet smile.”” ¢ side and hall door arrance- ‘ments were in extensive vogue, and those badlyin need of @ drink were not ins in discovering the mysterious paseage leading to the El Dorado of their wishes. The American and Irish establishments, generally speaking, exhibited some slight semblance of sustaining the majesty of the law, but tbe venders of sparkling lager, weiss bier, Rhein wein and r, ‘‘ made no bones” of the matter atall. They went the animal entire, putting not even the most traneparent disguise on their operations, William street was ima prio 80 boisterous as usual, and the strains of sacred music may have been hushed for the pol but the annihilation of the liquids wag bot the less ming. The same thing may be remarked of all the wel! known locations where Teutons “most do congregate” for amusement and jollification on the Sab- beth. During the daytime a few arrests were made of persons Cait) their traffic too openly, and a com- piaipt baving en made against the pi of Boym’s Theatre in the Bowery, Mr. Frederick Verche, an employ# {n the eetablishment, was arrested on the charge of gambling. This constitutes the amount of the firet doy’s work under the new Suncay liquor law. During the evening there was every appearance of a deter mipation on the part of the proprietors of the vari. ous puble houses and saloons to comply with the lay ‘but few places being opened. There were some few wi secm determined to teet the right of closing them up, and accordingly threw open their doors as usnal, doing a toriving business. Many places had every appearance of being closed, but by a little exertion an entrance could be reaoily found by a rear or side door. Acting Gen. Super- intendent Carpenter made a tour of the city during the day to notice if the captains fully carr'ed out the orders of the Commiseioners by directing their men to report each and every place found open. There were no arrests made except in the Thirteenth ward, where Fred. Pope, tch was executed with mechanical precision: each repetition being execu ted better than the other, and the auuienge—among whom were a number of military men—evineing their appreci: ation of the style of execution by several rounds of ap. § Jove siering. ene Kel wore lock pial Aad Mat plause throughout the city, with open doors, will not fall short of ‘The regimental inspection then took place by the wheeling the companies into column; opening the ranks; the officers anc sergeante to the front, and a — ta.

A NEW PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, J. W.

He says:—‘‘The pub- lic confidence ia as ever, slow to centre upon any partisan claimant; on the contrary, the people clined to throw overboard all the self made champions for the Presidential position, and to call to their leadership a sew man—a man whore name (eo far as I have bemsiel® bas not as yet been breathed within the intrigue—s name not committed or contaminated with the cliques or clans of sectional or and yet a man than whom more talented, or more tried and true.

Section 3 of article 3 says:—The trial of all crimes, &c., be held fm the State where the saia crimes have been committed, &c., meaning the district as defined by law.

An affray occurred at the corner of Canal and Orchard streets, about twelve o’clock on Saturday night, which regulted in the death of Thomas Greenan, a brass founder, ving at No. 124 East Broadway. Deceased anda rriend named John Crinion had been spending the evening at the residence of deceased’s brother, and were on their return home, when they met three Germans at the corner of Canal and Orchard streets. One of the Germans, it is alleged, jostled against deceased, when the latter turned around and abused his assailant. A quarrel then ensued between the men, which finally resulted in a scuffle and the German being thrown to the ground. The German goon regained his feet however, and, according to Crinion’s statement, made a furious onslaught upon deceased with a dirk knife, stabbing him twice in the back. Deceased im- mediately exclaimed that be was killed and fellto the sidewalk, whereupon the German and his comrades all wok to their heels and escaped for the time being. Po- licemen Miner, Wright and Wood, of the Tenth precinct, on hearing the row hastened to the spot and conve the deceased to the station house. On their way thither the dan died. Policeman Wright then went in search of the aseagein, and after a long search succeeded in arresting @ man named Charles Rabert, on suspicion of being implicated in the homicide. The prisoner on being taken to the siation house denied most positively that he knew anything at all about the occurrence; but Crinion immediately identified him as one of the party,and fur- vhermore said he was the person who stabbed deceased. Corener Jackman was notified of the affair at an carly hour yesterday morning, and at once proceeded to make arrangemente for boldi: g the inquisition. Drs. Beach and Gallaher made a post mortem examination upon the body of deceased by order of the Coroner, and found two wound in the back penetrating to the lungs, which had evisently been infiicted with a sbarp poistea knife. Ove of tbe wounds was about one and one-balf inch in width, penetrating the lower lobe of the left lung, between the tenth and eleventh ribs. The other penetrated the right tung, between the eighth and ninth ribs. Over a pound of coagulated blood was tound in the cavity of tbe cbest. All the other organs were in » healthy condition, but the stomach smelled strongly of the presence of beer or some other intoxicating drink. A jury was then lmpanneled, and after viewing the” body of deceased, the ‘further investigation of the case was postponed until nine o’clock this morning. Greenan wasa native cf Ireland and was 26 years of age. He was in the empioyment of Mr. Gregory, the brass founder in Canpon strect, and was always looked upon a8 a eteady and industrious workman. On the night of the difticulty he bad probably been indulging in the use of ardent spirits. Crinion waa evidently under the influence of drink when the police came up, and it is more than likely that deccased was similarly situated when the affray took place. The evidence against Rabert fe very slight indeed, and if some freeh aud more posi- tive testimony is not adduced egainst him on the inquest to-day, he will probably be discharged. ‘Ine Jnvverson Marxxt Casz.—Thbe inquest in the case of the unknown man wHo died in his cell at the Jefferson Market Police Court under rather peculiar circamstauces, as previously reported, was concluded yesterday by Coroner Jackman. The evidence went to show that on ‘Thuraday deceased: was found lying on the sidewalk, at the corner of Thirty-fourth street and Eighth avenue. One ‘wentieth precinct police arrested deceased on the poet irenkenveus, and conveyed him before Justice Kelly, who committed bim to prison for examination. Soon after being locked up, deceased became very ill, and notwithstanding he received proper megical attendance, be continued to sink, and died the day following his in- carceration. The doctor who attended decoased, and the keeper of the prison, were not aware that deceased’s skull was fractured antil a Ae Levee en Moai of had been made by Beachjand Gallagher.
