Another of our reporters, who had been assigned
to take care of the procession, at Mr.. Clay's re-
csptioo, was very politely accommodated by the
Committee, with seat in the carriage following
Immediately after that in which Mr.. Clay was
seated, in the procession; and when Mr.. @. and
the committee had entered the hotel of his desti-
nation, our repo ter called upon Alderman Gro
Illus, ofihe Seventeenth ward, to kno if he could
not be admitted into the hotel, that he might
more fully give the proceedings of the day. The
Alderman then took him by the hand for the pur-
pose of conducting him into the house, when the
captain of the ghteenth ward police william

to be admitted, jsmmed the door upon him, and
it was not until A dermsn Crolius spoke and act.

This was a clear assault and battery, and VIOLA
ton of law. We also call upon the Mayor to
examine this case, and TO act accordingly.
Our reporters are eng ged for the public good,
as much as the police, and ought, on such occa-
sions, to have every attention extended to them

from the City Hall YVES particularly atrocious
and unfortunate. The gem Of the funeral obse-
quies to the memory Of Mr.. Adams, was very
beautiful, pious end admirable prayer, made by
the Rev. Isaac Ferris over his sainted remains.
Our reporter intended 20 have taken the prayer
Ue,batim, and publish it next morning. But his
intention was frustrated by the folly and incom-
potency of a policeman. We trust that the Mayor
will act with promptness and decision in both
these outrageous cases of "little brief authori-
ty," improperly used to obstruct the public good.
INTELLIGENCE FROM INDIVIDUALLY the bark
R. H. Douglass, Captain Norville, from Monte
video, we have received Ell Conssrrador and
Concrete del Plata, OF the 18th and 10Th January.
The columns of these papers are filled with
articles against Rosas, on whom the Concrete,
especially, Is very severe, declaring that under
his rule the Argentine Republic has no judicial
power independent of him; that justice is per-
verted, the officers of the law mere set of TOOLS
who humbly and submissively take all the buff
fers, reproofs, and insults, which Rosas chooses
to heap on them; and so on in this strain through
more than column. All this, however, comes,
1t must be remembered, from the bitter opponents
of Rosas's administration; and from the extreme
virulence of the party press N Montevideo and
Buenos Ayres, no more attention is probably
given to it than to the savage datribes which the
party press in this country often indulge in to-
wards one another
There had been some burglaries committed
on the warehouses OF Messrs. Rodger, Brothers
