CITY INTELLIGENCE.

NOttC pCiOOt tOiCtft MISUNDERSTANDING tn(
incemency of the weather, the audience at tho
concert Of the scholars attached to the Eastern
schools, last night, at the Assembly Rooms
was quite large The singing of the little war
blers was excellent; the recitations very fine;
and in fact, everything passed of in Il manner
highly satisfactory TO all concerned MIR. Viii
der deserves great credit for the proficiency OF
his pupils.
Gunbqlls and Rollers. As the "Indepcndent
Order of Red Men" were returning on Sunday
morning from the funeral of deceased mem
Der, they were interrupted in their march at the
corner of Baltimore and Market SITS by gene
raj fight between two parties Of rowdies, called
Gumballs and Rollers, who acted in manner
that would disgrace the viIest savages. The
Order with their music had to dispense and each
member go his own way, for fear of being
struck by the stones and mssels that were fiy-
ing in every direction. After fighting for near
an hour they left some with black ewes and
bruised faces-no arrests having been made
The above circumstance is one among many
arguments for an increase Of the City Police.
Ro,p in III: .Heado0. Another one of those
disgraceful ebulitions of rowdysm, for which
that part of the city called the Meadow, is so
celebrated, took place late on Sunday after
noon. During the height of the fight, High
Constable Shut arrested Robert A. Hewitt,
who it seems bore quite conspicuous part in
the melee, and was in the act of carrying him
TO the Police Office, when person named
Hugh Pagan, made an attempt at his rescue,
but in lieu Of succeeding got himself in the
hands of the officers. They were both carried
to the Police Office, and held to bail in the
sum of $500 TO appear at Court, by VIM. A.
Schaetler, Esq.
n Strange Customer. Mr.. Herring, who
keeps dry goods store at the head of Centre
Market Space, was not little startled yester-
day morning by seeing the head of strange
looking customer protrudng through his front
window, where, doubtless, his body would have
followed, had the window been OF sufficient
size to admit of its ingress. His horSeship was
dislodgcd as soon as possible; not, however be-
fore he had done considerable damage to the
glass and the benches in front of the door.
Fined for Fighting in the Street. John Smith
was Yesterday arrested by officer McComas for
fighting in the public street, and carried
before A. II. Pennington, Esq, who fined him
81 and costs.
a Dss'rdiy .4ct. A gentleman named Ma
thaniel Martin, living in Monument-st., espo-
site the penitentary, was attacked on Sunday
night, while at his second story window, by
gang of hal-grown candidates for the large
house Immediately in front, and seriously in
jured by being struck in the face with brick
bat, which was thrown by one of the party
MIR. Martins only offence was, that, hearing !
great noise under his window, he looked out,
and, seeing the party, requested them to 90
away, in lieu Of which they attacked his house
with bricks. What are we coming to-
Correction. In giving an account in yoster-
days paper, ola brutal outrage that occurred in
the Eastern part of the city,-wc said that a
Getty constable was in the immediate neighbor-
hood and refused to arrest the perpetrator with
out preceipt;" and for fear that some of our
readers might suppose that we meant one of
the City Police" under High Constable Shutt,
we state we did not,-there are other city con-
stables besides those paid by the corporation.
