Many of them are inclined to hold him responsive
for their loss of situations since it has been through
his course and management and by his authority, that
they were restrained from embracing the opportunity
of Joining the Metropolitan force when that opportu-
nifty was offered. Some of the men In the
complain that they received notice to join the new
poce because the notices sent to them at the Station
Houses were not delivered, but trampled upon the
floor: and in other wards the privilege had been
denied the Meropoltans to read their orders in the
Station Houses, and the notification Of the men in the
street had necessarily been but partial The greater
portion of them, however, doggedy adhere to the au-
thor of their misfortunes.
FIFTH WARD.
Notice was given to the Municipal men of the Fifth
Ward TO assemble at the old SationHouse in Leonard
street at O'Clock. They met at that time, and heard
the reading of the notice dsbandng them with evident
chagrn and disappointment. There was an air OF
melancholy about the place which betrayed the feeling
that blind ambition had been leading the blind, and
they had unfortunately landed in the ditch.
SIXTH WARD.
AT the Sixth Ward Station.House, Capt. Bowling
read the order of the Mayor at o'clock. Alderman
Clancy made speech in which he stated that he had
been to the Metropolitan Commissioners and had Of
fered, in behalf of the Sixth Ward Municipal Police,
their services, without pay, to act in preserving the
peace of the Ward until Monday next under the di-
rection of Capt Bowling, and himself as magistrate,
but their services were declined. He predicted that
summary dismissal of " old and faithful officers would
be met with the just Indignation of the public, and
that a reaction must follow, which would ultimately
result in their being in their positions as guar
dams Of the peace of the city. Three cheers were
given for Capt Bowling and Alderman Clancy.
Last evening the Station-House presented very
deserted appearance it having been left in charge of
the doormap A few Of Mayor Woods dupes were
hanging about, probably from force OF habit, and
looked like stray sheep just shorn of their fleece
The blinds were closed; the lamp over the door was
shrouded ia darkness and the whole the old Sixth
reminded one of house of mourning. Capt. Downing

polians and intimated that some of them would get
clicked if they came around.
SEVENTH WARD.
At the Seventh Ward Station House the order of
disarmament was read to the men about O'Clock, by
the First Lieutenant, Capt Let's being at the City
Hall at the time The at once surrendered their
equipments, and gave round of cheers for the Mayor
and their officers. The appearance of thi5 Station
House was quite in contrast with the others our re-

Capt. Let's sat behind his desk engaged in answer

his men were in and about the housesome merry and
others sad-indulgng in cOnjectures as to what was
coming next and the expression of unabridged opinions
as to the merits of the decision that had so suddenly

EIGHTH WARD.
The order to disband was quietly obeyed here bu
the men ruefuy regret that they did not follow the
/ example Of Capt. Turnbul in obeying the law. Ii
their case they cannot offer the excuse that the orders
of the Commissioners were not officially communicated
to them Last night The Station House, with the star
and other equipments, were left in charge of thu

Nothing extraordinary TRANSFERRED at this Station
House On hearing the order, the men, who had beef
all the morning preparing for it, took up their beds ant

He stood up right soutly for his Honor in his recen

morning made an efigy of Metropolitan Policeman
and after giving Mr.. Efigy severe pummeing will
their clubs, they amused themselves during the re
mander of the forenoon by shooting at him with thei
revOlvers. Capt. Norris read the order of the Mayo
at o'clock, and accompanied it with a speech il
which he thanked the for their fidelity, and ex
pressed his opinion of the law which had compelled
this disbandment. The men, after handing over tn,
city property, cheered the Mayor and their Captain
and then made vigorous assault upon keg of lage
beer which had been brought. into the Station.House
Having drained the keg more cheers given, ant
