POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Cuaucr or BureLary.—Jolin Moore, a colored man, twenty-two years of age, was arresied by oMcer Webb, of the Second precinct, on the charge of forcing an entrance to the stable No. 16 Washing- ton street, occupted by Joha Hayes, and stealing a robe, horse blanket and other articles, vaiued at $125. Aportion of the stolen goods was found in possession of the prisoner, and Justice Rogan com- mitted him to the Tombs for trial. ALLEGED FEMALE PickrockET.—Mary J. Ward, a female not entirely unknown to the police, was ar- rested by officer Thompson, of the Twenty-seventh recinct, on the charge of assaulting an unknown lady, corner of Liberty street and Broadway, with intent to steal as a pickpocket. Mary thrust her hand under (he shawl worn by the strange lady, but before she could secure any plunder the police ar- rested her.

On the Sth of September the jair complainant called upon Butcher, aa she sets forth in an aMdavit in relation to leasing the premises No. 8 East Twenty-second street, when he represeated that he was acquainted with the landlord of the house, and that for $100 he could obtain for her the lease of the house forathree or ten years, and if he failed t@ do so he would return the money to her.

A BoLp SNEAK THIEF.—Thomas Duncan knows the value of false keys to midnight hose that prowl the streets of the metropolis watching opportunities that usually present themselves by the carelessness of the oecupants of private houses to enter and steal anything that is easily carried away— and yesterday feeling that he, too, might replenish his rather depleted wardrobe by a raid of this char- acter, wandered about the vicinity of the Fifteenth ward, hoping to effect his object without trouble, but it was not until nearly nine o’clock in the evening that he found the coast clear enough to operate. At this hour, making No. 17 Waverley place his objective int, he quietly ascended the steps, and using the false keys he had furnished him- self with, deliberately opened the outside door of the house and peering about with that cowardly caution all such vagabonds are famous for, he was about to “clean” the hatstand and table of their con- tents when poor Thomas was dumbfounded by the appearance of Mrs. Isabella Berrand, the matron of tne dwelling, who, having heard the click of the lock while she was in the parlor, came out to ascertain who the individual was that used such precaution in entering, and, observing a stranger, demanded what he wanted, when such a contradictory reply was given by the al Duncan that her suspicions were aroused, the more particularly when he turned upon his heel and made good time down the street. It was but the thought ofa second for the lady to divine the object of the visit, and rush- ing rapidly to the door, called to some ntlemen who were passing to “arrest that thief,” which, after @ merry chase, they succeeded in doing, and handed him over to an officer. Dun- can was arraigned yesterday morning before Justice Ledwith, at the Jefferson Market Police Court, who, upon the recital of the above details, committed him to answer the charge at the Court of Spectal Sessions in default of $500 bail. How a GERMAN CAME TO GRiEF.—Otto Bell left the quiet home of his fathers, in Germany, two months ago, and came to this city intent upon jour- neying to the Far West,-where with his muscle and energy he hoped to carve ont a fortune and make @ name, as have many of his nationality in that unlimited area of country. But Otto, delayed in his trip through New York, and where he only intended to ees a few days in renewing old associations, fell into bad habits, superinduced, it is alleged, by the free use of lager beer, and that is how he came to grief, the beginning of wrong doing, that has ended in his being locked up in jail, It can only be imagined how Otto ually went from beer—too much beer—down through his pockets until every national stamp received for his golden thalers, which his kind parents had given him to visit America, had vanished, and then, when his very social friends who had lived upon him during his “flushed” condition found that he was “‘broke' they left him, and Otto was really in a dilemma—a enniless stranger in a strange land. No friends, no ome, No mouey—what should he do? He must eat and he must rest, and while the keen pangs of hunger and weary bones suggested ull manner of temptations that nature might not be robbed ol her rigits he wandered through West Forty-fourth street, and meeting upon that thoroughfare Mrs. Elizabeth C. Hedden, residing at No, 38 West Forty-ninth street, who had left her nome but a few minutes previous for the purpose of shopping, and, noticing in her hands a Uspepetegt it was but the work of an instant for Otto to grab it from the lady and rush with lightning speed down the street. it it was not designed that tie should escape, his evil genius deserted him in this hour of and the poor fellow fell into the arms of an who conveyed him to the station house, when, 'after a nighi’s rest, he was brought before Justice Ledwith at the Jefferson Market Police Court » Who committed him to answer jourt of Special Sessions. yesterday morni the charge at the ‘THE SPRING STREET STABBING AFFRAY. John Stanley, who was arrested yesterday morning shortly after twelve o'clock by officer Brown, of the Twenty-eighth precinct, at the lodging house 339 Spring street, for assaulting, with murderous intent, Bernard Maolrs, the proprietor, and John Vickers, a fellow lodger, with @ large pocket knife, was ar- ralgned before Justice Sedwith, at the Jefferson Mar- ket Police Court yesterday, to answer the charge, when additional particulars were obtained regard- ing the nature of the affray. It appears that Stanley ‘was sleeping in the same room with Vickers and both had been m friendly communion during the evening. There had been no altercation, nor had any unfriendly words p: between them, but suddenly, without the least intimation on his part, the prisoner jumped from his bed, which was near Vickers’, and, rushing over to him with an open knife commenced to thrust the blade into his , cutting him in the lower portion of the back and upon the cheek before he could escape, which he afterwards succeeded in doing by rushing into the street. The alarming cries of the wounded man brought to the room irs, who in turn became the object of Stantey’s hatred, and be- fore he could ascertain the cause of Vickers’ flying, bleeding and naked, into the street he also received serious stabs in the side, leg and shoulder. The house at this period having become alarmed and the wounded man upon the sidewalk having incohe- rently told his story to otficer Brown, tne infuriated man was arrested and taken to tie station house, while the injured parties were conveyed to Bellevue Hospital. Search being made for the knife which the prisoner used it was found lying between the beds on the floor of the room in which he siept. Yesterday afternoon Maoirs had so tar recovered from his wounds that he could be taken home, but Vickers is suffering fearfuliy from his inju- ries, yet he may recover if inflammation can be prevented. ‘The cause of the assault is a mys- tery, but it has transpire that the prisoner a few’ weeks since sufered treatment similar by parties unknown that he yesterday deait out to his friends, and because of this is partially deranged. ‘Those who witnessed his helpless condition when bronght to the bar of the court, more like that of a dead man than one alive, were inclined to believe, at least, that he is not “all right.” He was remanded for further examination, SAILING OF STEAMERS YESTERDAY. FOREIGN BOUND. ‘The list of foreign bound steamships that left this port yesterday was confined to the following three:— ‘The City of Antwerp, Captain Mirehouse, for Liv- erpool and Queenstown, took her departure from pier No. 46 North river a little arter one o’clock in the afternoon, with 28 cabin, 135 steerage passeugers and acargo comprising cotton, cheese and bacon.

The Empire, Captain Price, for Washington and Georgetown, D. O., sailed trom pier 15 Last river, at four o'clock in tho afternoon, with a small comple- meut of passengers aud an assoried cargo. During the past two nights a large portion of the Metropolitan Fire Department has been pretty well taxed by fire duty, but, nevertheless, the men turned out yesterday morning in obedience to orders, polished up their engines, trucks and tenders, got themselves and their horsea in good trim, and at ten o'clock were ready at Union square to fallin line at the word of command and commence their march, which was to close with a review by the Governor at Tompkins parade ground, The brigade, which had been detailed for the Parade, consisted of the picked companies of the department divided into three battalions, The First battalion comprised Engine Companies Nos, 23, 12, 15 and 25, and Hook and Ladder Com- pany No. 1, under the direction of Assistant Engi- neer Bates, * ‘The Second battalion consisted of Engine Com- panies No, 34, 3, 14 and 24, and Hook and Ladder Company No. 10, under the direction of As- sistant Engineer Saaughnessy. The Third battalion comprised Engine Companies Nos. 8, 16, 18 and 19, and Hook and Ladder Company No. 11, under the command of Assistant Engineer Sullivan. Chief Engineer Kingsland was in com- mand of the brigade, and to his efforts is owing the success of the display. 'y ‘The line was formed, as above stated, promptly on “time, and the procession, headed by a Breet of the ‘Twenty-ninth precinct police and the Filth regiment drum corps, marched down Broadway to Houston street, through Houston to Mercer, thence to Spring street to Broadway, down Broadway to Beaver street, through Beaver to Broad street, to Wall street to Broadway, Park row, Chatham street, Bowery, Third avenue and St. Mark’s place to crete ‘square. The paving of Broadway necessitated the divergence to Mercer street, where the companies were reviewed at Fireman’s Hall by the Board of Commissioners. Arriving at Tompkins square the parade was review- ed by his Excellency Governor Fenton. In front of each company the foreman walked, car- ‘ing as his badge of oitice a brass speaking trumpet. ‘he members of the companies marched in sections, with the assistant foreman of each at the right of the same, It was somewhat amt to see with what apparent fondness the foremen and assistant fore- men hugged their trumpets, as by an order of the Board of Commissioners they are permitted to have them only when on review. To Cad that the brigade looked and marche ex- ceedingly weil would be to say the very least that could be said of thelr appearance, while the horses and apparatus, having been well brushed and brightly, polished, looked as trim and neat as if they had never been used. ‘The propriety of the companies parading in full dress uniform with fatigue caps might be questioned.

Three times around the square they flew in good order, and then, forming in three sides around the Governor and the Commissioners and visitors who were with him, they were addressed briefly by the President of the department and Governor Fenton. Both the speakers complimented the firemen on the fine display in re- view and for the efficiency they had exhibited and thanked them for the pains they had taken to reflect credit upon the department which they represented and for the excellent services they and the entire ae- partment had rendered. ‘The companies which were out on review comprised only one-third of the entire number under the direc- tion of the Board; and arrangements were made 80 that if a fire should occur durmg the parade there were men and apparatus enough so disposed as to be ready to answer to the alarm. Along the line of procession spectators lined the sidewalks on either side, and while the generally fine and eilicient ap- pearance of the mea was universally acknowledged, there was an entire absence of the enthusiasin which Gran charantarised the parades of the old depart- meni FIRES DURING THE MONTH OF OCTCBER.

TSE PARK YESTERDAY. the grand old musio masters are our city at 60 little trouble and at no expense, and for such fine interpretation of this music we must g health and energy from strolls albng its smoothly gravelled walks, leading through grassy dells and by the margins of lakes and by the murmuring music of falling waters. Children, too, never tire of looking at the animals and birds and other curiosities at the Arsenal, while older heads can learn new lessons in the study of art in its higher expression in the statu- ary at the old Monastery. Those to whom the extac; of “love’s young dream” ig the only thing wortl living for, and to which all other things and ira tions, ambition, wealth, fame, are as dress and stu- Pidity, cannot, of course, be kept from the Park on any passably pleasant afternoon, and perticularly on Saturday afternoons, when they are apt to have the most leisure. ‘They take to the Park as naturally as ducks to water. All that we have written above serves to account for the fact that yesterday afternoon, although the season of Saturday afternoon concerts is at an end, the Park promenades presented almost as many visitors of the pedestrian class as on the recent Satur- day afternoons. Throngs strolled along the Mall, through the sinuosities of the Ramble, and wherever their inclinations carried them, The afternoon was most enjoyable for visiting the Park—soft and warm—and, though lacking the smoky haze—the oetic feature of the Indian summer—was really a3 ly delightful; and then there is no season of the year when such glorious pomp of foliage marks the splendid landscape. But the great features were the carriages and equestrians. There has been no Satur- day afternoon for months on which the turnout of carriages has been so large and such superbly showy styles of vehicles and Bey, horses, and last but not least such display of brig! t tollets by the ladies. ‘The finest turn outs of the city were here in profu- sion, including several four-in-hands. Of equestrians and equestriennes there has been no such exhibit for along time. It is evident that who during the late political campaign have sedulously worked night and day to carry their political points and their candidates into office are taking a rest, and that they selected yesterday afternoon as a fine time for a fine ride inthe Park, and thereby give tone and muscle to their shattered systems.
