Il good sight is very remarkable fact
that within the last three days there has been in
this city less riot, and disturbance, and conse-
quently less cause for the interference Of the city
authorities than at any other similar period with
in the recollection of our city magistrates. On
Sunday morning only four persons were commit
ed from the watch.house; Monday morning only
one, and yesterday morning only four-a number
rather below the ordinary average for Saturday
