One of our local sheets devotes all its energy to demolish this paper, that has the boldness to employ a correspondent in our very midst, who gives reporta not always tinted with rose color.

Annual Report of the Commissioners— Interesting Statistics—Over a Quarter of a Million of People in Tenement Houses. ‘The annual report of the Metropolitan Police Commis- sioners will be laid before the Legislature to-day. The document reads as foliows:— The Commissioners of Metropolitan Police, in accor- dance with section 39 of tho act entitled, ‘ An act to amend the act to establish the Metropolitan Police, and to provide for the government thereof, passed Aptil 10, 1860,” respectfully submit the following REPORT. act passed at the last scasion of the islatare ameddatory of the Police act of 1867, RR ame] the constitution of the Board of Police, by jing the number of its members, and by enlarging’ its powers and confiding to it new and important duties. By the provi- sions of the act of 1867, the. ‘d of Police consisted of five Commissioners and the Mayors of the cities of New York and Brooklyn. The Legislature, at its last session, re- duced the number of commissioners to three, and relieved the Mayors of New York and Brooklyn from the police duties which had been im| upon them. The change, it is believed, bas been beneficial, by securing harmony of action, and the constant attention of the members of the Board to the important trusts confided to them. At the date of the passage of the amended act the office pag sclagrag od of Police was vacant. On the 23d of May John A. Kennedy, of New York, was appointed to fill the vacancy. The great zeal and ability he has dis- played in the discharge of his responsible duties have already won for him the confidence and support of the citizens of New York and Brooklyn, as well as the re- a and esteem of the officers and men under his com- ‘The Metropolitan Police district comprises the counties of-New York, Kings, Westchester and Richmond, and the towns of Jamaica, Newtown and Flushing, in the county of Queens. The area of territory embraced in the district is 920 square miles, and the population is estimated at 1400000 pereons. Except in the cities of New York and Brooklyn there is no force permanently stationed, and in these cities the force'is quite inadequate to the’ popula- tiou they contain. At the date of the last annual report the number of pa- trolmen in New York was 1,260, and in Brooklyn 198. Since that the Supervisors of the county of New York have authorized the further appointment of 160 patrol- men, aud the Legislature, in the Police act of last ses- sion, designated the number of 200 for the city of Brook- yn. The police force now subject to the ordors of the Board of Police consists of one superintendent, four inspectors, thirty-two captains, one hundred and forty-one sergeants and sixteen hundred patrolmen. ‘The cities of New York and Brooklyn are divided into precincts, to each of which is assigned one captain, four Sergeants apd from forty to sixty Patrolmen. There are algo sub-precincts, to which two. sorgeants and from ton to fifteen men are’ assigned for duty. attached to each station house. In the cities of Evrope, where the police is sustained by the constant presence of # military force, there is # iceman to about cvery 500 inhabitants, while in the city of New York the proportion is one to 650, and in Brooklyn one to 1.380. But inadequate as is the number of policemen to the requircments of the population, it is believed that the Metropolitan police has surj in efficiency the expectations of its friends, and fully vindi- cated the wisdom of the Legislature in its establishment. With the exception of the riots of 1857, which were promptly repressed, there have been no outbreaks against the public peace; order has been maintained during periods of great excitement and distress; the laws of the State have been vigorously enforced, and the lic elections, which before were marked by turbu- , and oftimes by bloodshed, have become remarka- ble for the order and quiet with which they are conduct- ed. results are due ina groat degree to the re- moval of the controlling power of the police from the influence of local ices and local interests, Appended to this report are tabular statements exhi- biting the number of arrosts during the past year, tho nature of the offences committed and the nativity, age, sex and degree of mental culture of the persons arrested. If the number of arrests be regarded us the measure of crime, it {s fallacious. It will be seen by reference to the tables, that of 69,066 arrests for offences against the person, 43,973 were for drunkenness and disorderly con- duct; and of 11,444 offences egainst property, there were 2,672 for violation of corporation ordinances; and other offences which involve a very slight degree of moral turpitude, Nor do the returns’ for drunkenness express the number of persons who have been guilty of intoxi- cation, for, in many instances, the same persous, habitual drunk had been repeatedly arrest E The administration of the police justices of New York ‘seem to require the attention of the Legislature, while it may be admitted that thoso officers endeavor to adminis- ter the laws with a strict regard to the interests of the public and for the repression of crime and licentious- ness, there is reason to believe that from an indisposi- tion to punish with due severity the lesser offeuces of vagrancy, drunkenness and ‘ly conduct, habits of immorality and vice are rat nurtured than dest and that they who at first were only the subjects of in- dolence and occasional debauchery, became, by the ill- Judged clemency of the magistrates, hardened offenders. Board of Police, in their annual report of 1858, sug- gested that in order to determine the question of in- creage and dimisution of crime in the Metropolitan Po- lice district, it should be made he duty of the magis- trates in the district to report quarter-yearly to tho Commiesioners of Police the names of all persons brought before them, and whether prisoners were acquitted or convicted. If acquitted, whether such acquittal was be- cause Of non-prosecution and no bill found, or not guilty on trial. And if conyicted, the term of imprisoament and when imprisoned, or the amount of fine. The sub- ject. is again respectfully submitted to the consideration of the Legislature. ‘The Board of Police have the satisfaction to state that by virtue of the powors conferred on them by the Legis- lature of arresting persons selling intoxicating liquors on Sunday, the practice, heretofore so general, bas in @ great degree ceased; and though there are many public desecrations of the Sabbuth, offepsive to Ue moral por: Two doormen are ton of the community, yet ‘ho evforcement of the law forbidding the sale of *pirituous iiquors om that day has removed the most proiwivent ond moet objectionable. The law forbidding theatrical exhibitions on day hee also been enforced. And in this connection the Board respectfully recommend to the islature the revision of the laws for the observance of Sabbath. By the provisions of the Revised Statutes no person is permitted to travel on that day unless in cases of charity or neces- sily, or in going to or returning from some place of wor- ship withis twenty miles, or ia going for medical aid or for medicines or in visiting the sick, and all servile labor is forbidden. Among the beneficial amendments of the act of 1860 is the establishment of a Sanitary Police, charged with the Guty of inspecting the safvty of ferry boats and manufac- tories, sndthe cleanliness of teneinent and slaughter . tary Police company attests the importance of thoir duties, and demonstrates the neceesity of a continuous, se tematic and thorough inspection of all descriptions of buildings where large numbera of oe ag congregate, or where there are occupations which, if not properly regulated, may jeopard the lives or health of persons en- in them, or of those living in the adjacent neigh- The Sanitary Police for the city of New York was form- ed on the 23d of April.

In conformity therewith many buildings were either taken down or se- cured, prior to the organization of commission autho- rized by the Legislature to supervise the orection of new and the demolition of unsaf buildings. After that com- mission was organized the duties of the police in respect to unsafe buildings were assumed on the publication of the opinion of Greene C, Bronson, Corporation Counsel of the city of New York, that the law creating the commis- sion was invalid. There have been takeu down or se- cured by the police S18 unsafe houses and other struc- ures. Tt was also mado the duty of the police to examine into the safety of ferry boats plying in the harbor of New ‘York. In the performance of this duty two ferry boats were reported as unsafe, and were ofdered to cease run- ning until properly repaired. ‘The fifty-seoond und fifty-thir@ sections of theact require amendment, to determine accurately the powers and du- ties of the police in respect to tenement houses and un- safe buildings, While the expenses of cleaning tenenient Louses is made a lien upon the property, there 13 no pro- vision for the collection of the lien, not is the power to take down unsafe buildings sufficiently explicit. ‘The duties of captains of police are arduous and unin- tormitting. They are held respoxsible for the peace and good order of their respective precincts; and that the laws of the State and the ordinances of the local authorities are properly enforced. The importance of their duties requires that they should be men of high personal cha racter and of more than ordinary mental ability. In view of their laborious and responsible duties, it ia re- spectfully recommended that their salaries be increased frem $1,200 to $1,500 per annum. ‘Ihe accounts of the Treasurer of Police are herewith submitted, setting forth the sums received by him, aud from what sources, to whom paid, the date of payment, and for what service. ‘The beneficent provision of the law which set apart the ‘oceeds of the sales of unclaimed property and the Baer imposed on delinquent members of the force, as a nston fund for the widews and chillren of policemen illed in the discharge of duty, hnve alleviated the condi- tion of many, who would, but for the creation of this fund, have been destitute. ‘Ibo Embasey from the government of #apan, which visited the city of New York im June last, gave to the Poard, for the benefit of the Metropolitan Police, the eum of $13,760, with the recommendation that it should consti- tute a'fund, and that the annual intorest thereof be dis- tributed among the force such manner as the Board should deem expedient.

Honest Old Abe Lincoln was one of the “leading whigs;” 60 was philosopher Greeley; 80 was Madame Bates, Old Abe's first choice for his Cabinet; so was Seward, and eo were a large portion of the leading black republicans of the present day. ‘Tue Demognanc Vors or Micmcan.~The democracy of Michigan, though defeated, baye no reason for dis- couragement in the result, for never beforo in the his- tory of the State has the party been so large and so poworful as it is to-day, The official returns show that the democratic vote has increased thirteen thousand since the election in 1856.

Destructive Fire in Washington City— Loss $90,0v0., [From the Washington Star, Jan. 2.} About three o’clock this morning fire broke out in the buildiug owned by Mr. W. H. Philip, and occupied as » grocery store by Mr. Henry C. Purdy, south side of Ponn- fylvania ayerue, between Four-and-a-half and Sixth sireet, which spread very rapidly, soon communicating with adjoining buildings on either side and destroying nearly $100,060 worth of property. The leading cause of the fire proving so destructive nay Le siated in the fact that on yesterday the Potomac water was shut off from Be avenue from Kighth strect weet to the navy yard, by order of the government, leaving all that section of the city in no condition to suppress a conflagration, When discovered the fire had communicated through several stories of Purdy’s building, and in a short time made its way into the house of Mr. M. G. Bwnery, which was occupied principally by Mr. E. Z. Stever, plumber and gas filter. ‘This houso was soon wrapped in fumes, and the adjoining house on the east, owned hy the stato of Raphacl Semmes, was next fired and destroyed. ‘This house was occupied as a grocery store and dwelling, by Mr. William O. Harper, end was wholly destroyed, together with the entire stock and furniture of the occupant. The flames rapidly #piead to the next hovse, owned by Mr. John M. Young, coachtuaker, and occupied by him ag @ coach tuctory; nearly all’ bis stock of carriages, lumber, un- finished work, materials of all kinds, and tools were do- stroyed, together with the entire building. ‘The building, 48 Our readers are aware, Was formerly the Adelphi the: aire. The firebad made such headway now, that although the water had been turned into the ‘mains, no efforts of the firemen could avail to stop it, The house owned by Murray & Semmes, avd occupied by that firma in tho grocery trade, was entirely destroyed, though the major part Of the stock waa saved in a damaged condition. Adjoining the coach factory of Mr. John M. Young, the conch factory of Br. Thomas Young was slightly dain aged: the stuck was not removed uor damaged. Adjoin- ing Harper’a store on the west,the building owned by Mr. John P togle, an oceupied by ir; Job ¥: Bridget, ou maker, was considerably damaged. Mr. B. savod’a large portion of his stock of carriages and materiale. ‘The drill armory of the Washington Light Infantry was situated in the filth story of Philips’ building, aud all their effects, consisting of uniforms, accoutrements, fags, valuable paintings, furnitufe, eases, &c., were de- stroyed. ‘Their private loss is $840" to $900, independent of the government property, which consisted of 260 sets of equipments complete, and 40 drill. muskets. The com- pany lose 120 new knapancks, 64 pictures, 260 to 300 volumes of books, 18 or 20 full uniforms, one company fag, and other articles the value of which cannot be ae- curately ascertained. The battalion tent equipage had been removed to the National Armory. Tho insurance policy on the effects in thoir armory had only expired a few days. vow we give a statement of the losses sustained and the amouut of insurance, 80 far as wo are uble to ascer- tain through the courtesy of the agents of the several in- surance companies which suffer by the fire: Yhilip’s house, valued at $12,000.
