captains Of police, IN the following words

PEACE AND Qr1ETNEss MAINTAINED.
As night set in on Saturday the crowds
on the streets gradually dispersed, and the
night passed off remarkably quiet. An
order was issued by the old police board at
noon for the closing Of all drinking houses,
which had the good effect Of keeping many
unruly spirits sober that might otherwise
have become troublesome. II is under.
stood that this order is to be continued in
force until otherwise directed, which can
/; not fail to have o beneficial effect on the
quietude Of the city.
ARRIVAL OF TROOPS.
At noon on Saturday about 700 United
States troops reached the city from New
York, by the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore railroad. They were at once
marched to Fort McHenry. They are de-
taohments of the Eleventh and Twelfth
regiments of infantry, recently stationed
at David's island, and are under command
of Brsvet Major Otfley and Lieutenant
Robert L. Wade. The order for their
transfer was, it is said, only received from
Washington on Friday evening.
INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS.
The excitement prevailing during Satur-
day caused almost an entire suspension
Of business in the centre Of the city, mer.
chants, business men, clerks, mechanics,
and, in fact, every class Of citizens, becom.
| ing absorbed in the stirring events trans.
piring. The remarkable good order and
perfect immunity from riot was not among
| the least wonderful events Of the day.
| ... TIE CITY on SUNDAY.
The city during yesterday Sunday re-
NAMED quiet, with the exception of a few
slight disturbances late in the afternoon
and which in all cases were promptly
put down by the regular police. There
were very large crowds congregated about
the corners, discussing the topic of the
day, the incarceration Of the sheriff and
the newly APPOINTED police commissioners
but all was conducted good humoredly
The new commissioners and the sheriff re-
manned in the city Jail during yesterday
the guests, as it were, Of the warden, Cap
tain James. They were allowed to see
such friends as called upon them without
interruption, and apparently passed the
day as comfortably as three gentlemen
could do under similar circumstances.
