The Riped Rru{scrs Mt Buffalo. -
The Buffalo Exprtts Of Friday morning has
the following account Of the attempt and its
failure to arrest the b1utes who took part in the
recent MILL" either as principals, seconds or
attendants:
About three o'clock, when it wns expected
llat the crowd from the ring might commence
arriving, about the entire police force Of the
city, numbering fifty or sixty, With Sheriff
SrroGgs md Chief Best at their lead, proceeded
to BLACK Rock, and took their station at the
Ferry landing; to seize rs we supposed, upon
every individual Of tue returning party, in &C.
cordance with the Law Of last winter, which d.
rrcts the arrest Of spectators as well rs priuci-
pals in such affairs. With this idea, NC antici-
pated "trnublous" times, worthy Of being seen
and related, and hastened to dispatch ourselves
to the spot, for the purpose Of faithfully da-
gucrreotyping the bloody scenes that might be
expected 10 ensue, when tue lar and the law
less were brought into collision.
We arrived at the landing about o'clock,
and just MS the ferry. enptted upon it packed
load Of hacks, buggies and pedestrians fresh
IRON the Canadian ring. The police were
there, but much to cur surprise, there was no
movement for the seizure Of single one Of the
passengers, all Of whom marched sately through
the hill. We were sadly disappointed. Wehad
Travelled a long distance to Sec sport and e1pe-
ricncc accusation; and it was evident that We
lad 1abo1el under great mistake in our idea
IT the intention Of 1he authorities in assem-
bling this large force at thelanding place Of the
ke!ligeerents. Upon inquiry We asccEtained that
they could not properly act except upon espec-
iuI warrant, and they only lad warrants for q
few of tue eprinc!pal parties, and those who were
previously known to have gone Us spectators to
The fight. The crossing was 80 strongly guard
cd ia order to insure the arrest, despite Of re-
sistance, Of these parties, il they made their ap-
for whom warrants hhd been issued, did not
throw themselves into the hands Of the police,
and It seemed to ps folly to guard the ferry with
uuy such expectation. After the first trip Of
the boat, if no intimation Of the thing was con
re5ed across the river before, the presence Of
the police, and their object, was known to the
crowd upon the ot1cr side. and those who might
affair, would bee1ceediugly careful about taking
passage BY this transit route. Such, either took
carriages for Chippewa, Us we were told that
Morrissey and a number Of his friends did, or
remained at Waterloo until they could cross in
small boats under coycr Of night:
onstralio1i that was made by the police, was the
securing Of the best Of order among tue roughs
during the crossing. The whole crowd Was
wonderfully awed, and to a great extent fright
cned. Upon the other side. we are told, a.
though the throug was very great, and those
desperate and lawlcss characters who seldom if
erer allow crowd Of that kind to remain Of
derly and peaceful, were numerous, everything
was perfectly quiet, and not The slightest dis.
tutbance Of any. kind occurred. Every boat
load landed upon this side dispersed in the
greatest haste anxious 10 get OUT Of the sight Of
the officers of the law aud tue collected specta-
tors as soon rs possible. The number Of re-
spectacle citizens Hhp were to be found among
tic returning party WIS surprising. The move
,nents Of these IN getting out Of sight were
doubly Quick, and it .sas curious to see the an
iety snd modification expressed in some Of
their countenances.
Although tho police made no nrrests, they
busted themselves in 'spottIug" aud recording
The na1es of all who came across, and it is enid
that warrants will Ia. day be obtnined and served
upon nearly ull the residents Of Buffalo who
disgraced themselves By attending the fight II
this is done, IS We hops it will be, there will be
some duttering created, and the police conrts
will be busy for tie next month At least. II
should be done, and Us severe lesson taught
to those who have been guilty of indu1g;ng =
brutal taste, aud lending countenanee to y bru.
tai sport. as is possible under the law against
prize fights. If it is not done, there will be
nothing 10 dignity the police demonstration; it
will be a most ridiculous farce.
