ALLEGED FORGERY CAsE.-A young m.n. named
John S. Brush, was arrested and brought before
Justice Dodge, at the Jefferson Market Police Court
yesterday on charge Of forgery. The complainant
in the case was Augustus II. Frank, OF No. IT West

CITY INTELLIGENCE.

WEEKLY MoRTALITY.-The number Of deaths In
this city last week was 4l2 being 10 less than the
previous week.
METROPOLITAN PoLIcE.-The police OF this city
made over fifteen hundred arrests last week.
BROKERS ON THE RAMPAGE.-Several stockholders
INDUCED in the exhilarating sport OF snowballing
yesterday In front OF the Stock Exchange. The fun
was stopped by party OF policemen, who made o
sally around street corner and arrested the festive
gentlemen on charge Of violating one Of the city
ordinances.
VANDALISM AT THE CITY HALL.-An act Of most
malicious mischievousness was performed yester-
day in the chamber Of the Board OF Aldermen, for
which no probable motive can be assigned, and for
which the perpetrator If discovered deserves to
ceive speedy judgment. The full length portrait Of
Clinton, which hangs the wall at the right OF the
cha mber, was torn, some time between eleven
O'Clock in the forenoon and two in the afternoon by
some person at present unknown. The instru
ment employed for the purpose Of defacing
the portrait was the brass end OF the
gas lighter, and from appearances II would
seem as II the person engaged in the performance
had stood upon chair, then struck the end Of the
lighter through the face of the portrait and dragged
1t downwards causing an ugly, ragged cut some six
membered the other portraits and some Of the fur
nture In the Aldermen's chamber were cut, ap.
parently with sharp knife but Clinton's portrait
was spared at that time to be more contemptiby
and unaccountably defaced as at present. Although
it has been determined to offer reward Of $500 for
the arrest OF the perpetrator 1t WILL doubtless, be
extremely difficult to find him.
DEPARTURE OF STEAMERs.-The French steamer
Pereire sailed for Brest and Havre yesterday. She
has large passenger list, and took out freight
$4,000 In specie. The steamer Charleston, Tor
Charleston, took out fifteen cabin passengers.
ACCIDENTAL man named Duncan Shaw was
crushed between the ship Ocean Queen and q canal
boat OF the East river piers yesterday. He was
taken to the New York Hospital.
FATAL ACCIDENT.-Coroner Rollins yesterday held
an inquest on the BODY Of German named Philip
Wahl, who died from the effects Of injuries received
by fall while running to get aboard car in Chat
ham square some days ago. He fell before reaching
the car. The jury rendered verdict Of accidental
death.
DEATH FROM OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Rollins held
an inquest over>the remains Of John Delany, whose
sudden death In Fifty-third street Friday evening
