CITY INTELLIGENCE.

DIsGRAcEFUL AFFRAY.-Ye esterday morning, about
halfpast eleven o'clock, most dsgraceful affray
occurred at the corner of Fayette and Holiday
streets, between party of up town rowdies and the
crowd that usually hang about that corner. 1t
seems that the uptown party-consisting of Isaac
Jones, Charles Riley ,Johnaios ''Boots' Quinn, and
individual rejoicing in the soubriquet of "Dead
Rabbit"-came to the Adeph House about that hour,
in hack; and that after drinking at the bar, and
just as they were leaving the house, collision
CURED upon the pavement in front of the door, be-
tween Jones and man named Miller, who was
standing at the corner with John English when
the party alighted from the hack. In the affray
which ensued, Jones, being worsted, drew pistol,
and some one standing near handed Miller another.
Jones then started to run up Fayette street, pur-
sued by English and at the corner of North street
arrested by Detective German. Lieutenant
Marsh, of the Eastern district, at the same time
arrested Miller, and both were taken to the
station-house. Captain Norris also of the East
ern district, arriving shortly after, and being
informed of the part taken by John Eng ish
in the affray, attempted to arrest that individual
but was stoutly resisted in his efforts to do so.-
English kicked and fought, and hooking his finger
in the Captains mouth, tore his lip being encOur-
aged all the while in his resistance, by his crowd
who were standing by. At this juncture Sergeant
McComas and officer Hannegan interfered; the
former telling Captain Morris to let English 60
and in their custody the latter proceeded quietly to
the station-house. Upon arriving there, English,
Miller and Jones were all three arraigned before
Captain Mitchell, whereupon English struck Jones
locked up, as were also English and Miller, and
Justice Mearis sent for, who, upon his arrival,
released English upon the security of John Broad
bent, and Miller upon that of Erasmus Levy. When
the last named individual was being sworn as to the
amount OF property owned by him, great merri
ment exhibitedby Miller and others present, in
which the Justice heartily joined, remarking that
''that a mere FORM" Jones remained locked
up waiting to be bailed out. Captain Morris,
understand has preferred charges against Sergeant
McComas for insubsrdination and interfering with
him in the discharge of his duty.
CoMMENDABLE CoNDucr.-A lady returning from
Washington, few evenings since, took hack at
the depot for her residences shortly after reaching
which she missed valuable bracelet, which was
known to have been dropped either in the cars, in
the street, in the hack. The number of the hack
not being remembered, the expectation of seeing
the bracelet again very faint. Fortunately the
hack proved to be No. 81, driven by Patrick Rock,
(corner Fayette and Little Sharp streets, by whom
the bracelet was returned can honest man is the
noblest work of God"
