We have endesvored 10 give an idea of the scene,
but the language used by Inspector FOX aud his
men, il is impossible to report in these co.smns IL
must BY no means be supposed that the persons az
rested were the only injured. Though less than
dozen were taken into custody, probably fly were
dubbed more or less One poor fellow hacs-driver,
who came to the spot in the regular course Of his
business, was much beaten Though manyspistols
were drawn but two shots were fired, both by the
Police, and neither took effect
The prisoners were taken 10 Flushing, few miles
distant and brought before Justice William Turner.
GODS and King held in 500 bail each for their
appearance at Court. Addison Smith the man before
alluded to as being drunk and noisy held in $3.50.
Thomas Byrne alder and abetfer, fined SIS. John
Cleveland, ditto, fined sl0 Patrick Herman, ditto,
fined Sl5. John White, William Clark, and Michael
Warren discharged the officers who had beaten
and injured them being unable TO make any charges
against them. But one man, Addison Smith, WAS
even accused of Offering resistance 20 the police. Po-
Iiceman Francis Lettinwell swore that he Smith
strike Officer Taggart the back of his head with his
fist Officer Taggart then called and swore that
he struck but once and that bis forehead, and
that he did not know who struck him.
Tie truth is that Taggart was struck with the but
end of whip. All the reporters the blow, which
was struck at the very commencement Of the fight,
and it not struck by Smith. This same Lettin-
well assaulted citizen Of Flushing in the main street
of that village with HE fists and club, was at
rested therefor, and put under bonds to appear at
court.

two roundp in both of which Trainor was knocked
down. and the last of which ended the fight Neither
of them was arrested
Tie reporters who the whole transaction, were
ut several points in cir search for information by
leveed revovers and appraised clubs, but ali escaped
without injury. To Mr. Edwards, the landlord Of the
hotel at Flushing lin which the courtroom, and
TO Mr. Curtis tie Sheriff of tie County the reporters
are indebted for many facilities afforded for performing
their work properly, and for other courtesies
Not The least curious circumstance connected with
This aflar is TIE fact that although there large
number of professional pugiss and osber fighting
men on the grounds not one of them pas arrested,
with the exception Of the two principals in the antici
pated battle. The seconds, the hackers the stake
holder, and all the fighting men of the crowd,
escaped.
That the men who were arrested were nOn-fghting
men, aud that they offered resistance is proved by
the fact that but man, out Of Mr.. Foulkes whole
force, would that he had blow struck;
and not could that prisoner had resisted
him had attempted to escape from CUSTODY II
should perhaps be remembered that the Metropolitan
Police Commissioners are not responsible for tie men
now engaged in Police duty in Brooklyn. The Brook
yn policemen with very few exceptions, are the old
Municipal Police and for their merits or short 'omings
are the Democratic influences which appoin-a sd them
responsible. Inspector Fouke was Deputy SnpeIin-
ter dent of the Brooklyn Police Department years be-
fore the Metropolitan Police law was enacted
