they adjourned TO yesterday AFTERNOON
THE PoLIcE-The arrangements Of Mr.. MatseH
and bis officers on Thursday for the preservation OF
order and the security of the City from fires and
disturbances, are deserving of high commendation
The regulations were carried out 10 the letter. and
all passed of well.
The EHIP-BoARD QUARREL-Two dozen or
more persons arrested in the Fourth on charge
of fighting on shipboard, were discharged because
the officers who arrested them could not or at least
did not, testify against them. The cause Of
the fuss seems to be this A Catholic priest, who
came over in the ship, On landing complained that
certain Enelishmen on board had insuted him;
tbereupop lot Of Irishmen went down TO the wharf
TO fog the Britshers but by chance they got sound
" Aoeged themselves by the English tars. Various
arrests were made and the parties were brought
before Justice Osborne. When there, as we have
stated, not one Of the officers would testify 10 any
point sufficient to hold the rioters and Of course the
Magistrate was forced to dismiss all complaints
We presume that Officers cannot aways,make sure
Of a charge before ares.ing man, bat in case oil
fight there is no difficulty at all, and it looks very
bad to see an officer drag a man before the magis-
trate and then say he has charge TO make against
him 1t looks very much like humbug.
MORE ZEAL THAN DIscRETIoS-T temple OF
Justice in Center.st. was crowded few mornings
since with some 80 or 40 females Of various ages
and conditions who had been caught abroad during
the night by the Police. 1t is presumed that when
any person is arrested there is some foundation for
the act, and so there was herein perhaps one
third of the cases the officers able to establish
the charge OF vagrancy but in more then half the
instances not particle of evidence Of misconduct
was established or even offered, and the women
were set free, after nights detention in the Sta
ton house. The squirming OF certain persons to
get rid Of the responsibility Of these ridiculous ar
rests was decidedly amusing. Some people have
a wonderful superfuity Of zeal ard in tn, exer-
else Of this remarkable zeal they impede the bust
ness of the Court, put innocent persons lin the eye
Of the law, at least) to inconvenience and sha ue,
and make themselves conspcuously ridiculous
SIXTH WARD PoLIcE.-It don't look well, Sixth
Ward men, to see posse Of Seventeenth Ward
officers quelling disturbance in your Five Points.
Where were you when some vagabond thieves
were beating newsboys the other day, in that
sweetsmelling locality Some uptown policemen,
]
your duty but where were you!
THE FESTIVAL AT RASDALL's IsLAND.-The
celebration at Randalrs Island on the Fourth was
conducted under the auspices of the ladies Of the
Home for the Friendless' and proved an occa
sion of interest to thousands who were In attend
ance. The Ten Governors were all on the ground
The children were marched to the grove at l2l
o'clock The fine B and from the Institution forthe
Blind, composed Of pupils, under their leader, Mr.
Hazet gave some excellent music, as a prelude to
the exercises the part Of the children. etabes
| were well supplied with sweetmests and refresh
| ments.
The exercises commenced by singing aud speak
ing on the part Of the pupils and children, who &C
quilted themselves well. Several brief addresses
were made by MeGEs. Ellis, Draper, Hopper,
| Ewehs and Kelsey The display of needlework
and fancy articles was neat and credltable. The
| pupils of the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb
sent in more than 300 dolls and other toys OF their
own manufacture, to be distributed to the infants
! and the sick. More than 300 children partOok OF
the exercises. The feeling manifested by those to
whom the dolls and toys were given, was very In
| teresiing.
The matrons, servants and teachers, have re-
sponsible duty to perform. There ia less sickness
than usual there having occurred but five deaths in
| the month Of May, and bnt seven during the month
Of June. The Accommodations in the Hospital are
very far-lackiDg mainly in the arrangement for
effective ventilation. In this respect many Of the
Wards are sadly deficient The practice Of bury
ing the poor Of the city the Island should be dis
counteranced, as the health of the locality, may
eventually be affected thereby

the sth street NJ. Z. Church Gowanus celebrated
the day in a most interesting and joyous manner
