Among the late appointments made by the
mayor to the police is deserving special notice.
We refer to the appointment of Lieutenant John
Croley, who, in consequence Of wounds received
Turing the war, is unable to follow any of the
ordinary avocations of life. He was an officer of
the Eleventh Louisiana, at the battle of Belmont,
and lost hand there. Though thus disabled he
refused to leave the service, and, being with his
regiment at the battle of Shiloh, he lost on that
day, all of his remaining hand but thumb. In
this crippled condition the gallant gentleman is Of
course unfit for ordinary police duty, but Recorder
Ahern has found place in his office, in which the
lieutenant can render services to the public ade
quate to the compensation he receives.
The house of Mr.. Mcdonnell, at No. 166 Esplan-
ade street, was entered night before last and
robbed of fine saddle.
The alarm of fire between eleven and twelve
o'clock yesterday was caused by sparks falling
from the chimney on the roof of the house No. 81
Annunciaton street. and setting fire to the shingles.
The flames were extinguished without damage of
consequence to the premises
About the same hour the burning Of chimney
on Franklin street brought out the fire depart

The Catholic Council.

Archbishop Odin, the venerable, learned and
exemplary preIate, who presides over this archi-
episcopal see, and Bishop Martin, the estimahle
Bishop Of Louisiana, departed on Wednesday list
for Baltimore to attend the Council of the CatIo-
lie Church, convened by direction of the Pone,
and over which Archbishop spalding, of Ba1ti-
more is to preside.
This will be the second Council Of the Catholic
Church held on the American continent, and The
deliberations of the body will be of the highest
public interest
Among the subjects which, it is understood, will
come before the council will be the condition of
the negro, arising from his changed status. The
improvement of the race, by intellectual, religious
and moral culture, and its relation to the white
population, will be discussed, and doubtless the
ability and wisdom usually distinguishing the con
ferences of the church, on all questions concern
ing public order and the peace of nations, will be
shown in the conclusions of the influential bDdy
that is to pass on these eminently important ques-
tons.

Funeral of Capt. Brewer.

Capt Sam Brewer was buried yesterday. His
remains were deposited in the tomb of the fire
department, and were followed by large process
sion. Some two or three hundred of the police
force turned out, with Major Manning at their
head. After them came deputations from the
various fire companies of the city; next Columbia
Fire Company No. 5, of which deceased was fore
man, and the train terminated with lengthy col

shoulders, as much as to say that he had lost
everything ese-what was the use of trying to
hOld on to them?-and then quietly followed
tile officer in charge.
But on this trial yesterday he showed that he had
been assaulted aud pretty badly used up immed-
atey upon his arrival; that he had imbibed too
much in consequence, and that while going from
house to house to get custom, as is usual in his
native country, his motives had been misunder-
stood. His plea was SO successful that his case
was dismissed and his irons restored, and for his
sake, we hope that corkscrew tresses will become
still more common than they are even atpresent
upon our streets.

We recently gazed with some curiosity and pity
at queer looking stranger, with a foreign make
up, whom we saw day or two since, just arrived
in this city, and the contents of whose pockets
amounted to pair of curling and pressing irons
He was arrested and carried to the Third District
Recorders Court, upon the charge of vagrancy,
and his generally disordered appearance and
swollen face served to confirm the charge. He
had been taken in the act of going from door to
door, and had been too Intoxicated or spoke Eng
lish too badly, to give good account of his OBJ
jeot, and in consequence his visits had brought
him to grief. He was ordered to the lookup, and
requested to hand in his irons. There was some
thing rather pathetic in the way he received the

"A Char1vnri.

Amorous youth looks with cold and jealous
eye upon the espousals of beauty and agh, and
when Cupid's arrows have been tipped with gold,
the unsuccessful rivals sometimes attempt to ex-
act from happy Dives q tax in kind. This, we
believe is the origin and object of charivaris aud
marriage on Claiborne street night before last
gave its upholders an opportunity to make known
their views.
A bachelor, who was accused of being old,
married young lady who was certainly very
pretty, and the matter was resented as an afront
by the young men of the neighborhood who had
been left out in the cold. The sheet-irol band
was revived in honor of the occasion, hut the
attempt miscarried, and the entertainment soon
fell through. The police interfered, and 'bartic
pants narrowly escaped arrest.

UnweIcome Guests.

At a christening ceremony which took place in
private family, on Union ~ street, in the Fourth
District, Thursday evening, the guests assembled
were suddenly disturbed by the entrance Of a
party of rowdies and blackguards, who proceeded
to break the plates, furniture ETC., and to inter!
rupt the festivities generally. This razzia is sup
posed to have been made by party who go
about asking themselves to such entertainments,
and who, upon being refused to be allowed to
dance with the ordinary guests, revenge them
selves in this manner. During the melee, man
whose name we have not learned was badly cut
in the leg. None of the parties to the above ont
rage have as yet been discovered. It is 10 be
hoped that justice will show herself, in giving
them their due, as little backward as they have
been in attending assemblies to which they were
not invited.
