AT THE regular quarterly meeting of the Wash? ington Light Infantry Charitable Association, held hut evening, Lieut. SAMUEL J. BUBOES was duly elected Junior Warden to fill the vacancy. RETJHIOUH SERVICES.-A protracted meeting is being held at Trinity Church, in Hasel street, where large congregations are in attendance every night, and considerable religions interest is mani .'. feated. The pastor, Rev. E. J. MKTNARDIE, preached a very stirring a erm on last night.

JOHN CAMPBEN & Co., at No. 14 Market street, has been restored to its former usefulness, and the Company are now prepared to funnah. the community with Grist and meal at toe lowest rates. Thia Hill was disabled during the war, but has |- been thoroughly repaired, and as toe location ia central and convenient to the market, the former costo mer? will soon return. Messrs. OAMFSEN <fc J Co., ham avery facility for conducting the business, and their stock wfll always be the best that can be procured. j - ^ r"'4?T??t?a'^OT^-The white WBITB of thia es? tablishment are almost as great.a landmark aa St. Michael's Steeple, for tho fame of the hons? has ' gemo over the whole land. It had been toorough '- ly rejuvenated some months ago, and appeared j liko beauty amid ruins; but recently another im? provement was made that bas added to its good looks. The windows on the rear face haye been furnished with green Venetian blinds which add to toa comfort of the.guests, white, they destroy the - glare produced by the sun shining on a broad ' white waU. The contrast between the colors is very pleasing to the eye, and the general appearance of . the bunding is much improved by toe addition of th? souttere. To THE LAMES,-The Emporium of .Fashion' has long been toe groat rendezvous of toe belles of King street, but its popularity wfll be enhanced by tho announcement that Mrs. 8. J. COTOHBTT has ainu supply of the different articles tobe found in a Mflinary establishment These haye : beanrecently received and are; warranted toibe la il ikode dc Baris. Our fair1'readors know byintui tion what is requisite to. make them appear angel? ic, and we would consume both tone and rhetoric in.describinl5ftt?'=mte^br of the Emporium, as they ?jfldhi^ The hot montos are rapidly approaching, when it wfll bo necessary to. purchase cooler and more seasonable bonnets, and there te no Aplace where thia can be demo to moro advantage, than at Hrs.

Thia has been partioular Jy noticeable among certain Elliott street numere, - who arebyhtw compelled to wear a badge which IB aotnewb?tsimilar to those of toe detectives. ! Asi these; and other parties do not hesitate to avail themselves of certain privilegeB accorded to toe police department, we havo boon requested to warn tho aikens not to grant any request until they are certain they are not imposed on. Tbs proprietors of BJIOWB and places of entertain? ment, attora keepers, and others, should be on the / alert, for there are none ?o bold aa those wno pre* tend to have the law on their side. PIO-NIO OF THE GERMAN FIRE COMPANT.-A de Lghtfej br?ese cooled the atmosphere yesterday, and destroyed tho heat caused by the rays of the sun.. No day could have been mure favorable for a '.' plo-nic,aiidtoe Gormans and toen*guests were soon . ai toe^ahntasnpiata, where the usual routine of ? toeeo festive occasions waa observed. The sun? beams were not brighter than the eyes that danced with glee, white the feet were moving to the in? spiring sound of muslo, Hiere- are few persons . who tmderstand the art of enjoyment better than ?ni Teutonic friends, and their entertainments are always a success. The pio-nio of toe Fire Gom pany waa no exception to tote rute, for, th? ftnj was kept np until the dusky Bn33esof evening warned the reveflers to depart. Proahien t STEMUZRKAN - ?ad his company .will?not imfon forget toe time 'spent at the..Scbntaenpla4,a^and Wm regret was universal when the day wasVelosediss toe energies of the party were not exhausted^, and it required some' resolution to leave the cool hali and green woods, and return to the hotluid dc&ty city. : Tn DETECTIVE FOBCLE.-Among the different Wheels within wheels which constitute the muni? cipal Government there' is none, perhaps, more .important than toe detective force, and in some /Vu*peet? it may be considered the hub around ?which others revolve. Few persons are aware of, the amount af skill requisite to be a perfect detec? tive, and it te only by a lengthy training that toe - parties aoquire the requisite knowledge to enable thean.to spot a thief when called upon. This quali? fication is so well known that many of the officers in Northern cities have been in service from fifteen to twenty years, and are familiar with the co ante - . nance and calling of every individual they may meet. In every large city a detective force has long i been considered a. necessity, aa crime is comparatively unkow? in,, tho rural districts, the thieves preferring ~ to be nearer their field of operations. To detect ibid punish these r?scate ia the business of the force, and frequent? ly the arrest te made and tho property recovered on the same day that toe complaint is lodged; but to do this duty, and to attain the efficiency neces? sary for a well-trained officer requires time, appli? cation, and a strict attention to toe routine of their business. Unfortunately, the system of rotation in office has, in many cities, destroyed toe effi? ciency of this corps, for toe principle "to the vic? tor belong the spoils" is carried out by the party in power, and the luckless officials who are not on the. winning aide are immediately decapitated. Thia evil has been obviated in toe larger and more populous cities, by making these offices a perma? nency during toe good conduct of the incumbents, and the ponce and detective officers in the Northern cities have many of them grown grey in .-che service. At toe South this principle has not peen generally observed, but in Savannah and other cities it has proved to be a success, and is gradually being adopted. , We learn that effoi ts are being made to introduce this change in our Police Department, and that it baa given general satisfaction, as toe present in? cumbents have proved by their energy and vigi? lance that they thoroughly understand their du? ties and are prepared for any emergency. A bill to this effect will be soon introduced before Coun? cil, and there is no doubt that it will be immedi - Story passed. Experience shows that crime in? creases with the growth of a city, and unless ac? tive measures are taken to nip it in the bud it will soon acquire such a rank growth that it can laugh at the puny efforts then directed against it. As the whole community are interested in toe pro? posed change there wfll be probably no objections offered, and the oitiaens will be relieved from some , anxiety, knowing that their property te guarded by experienced eyes. MATOB'S COUBT, Hay 22.-Two men who were iBgaged in a pleasant discussion on family mat : taras' in which one intimated that the other was a 1 receiver of stolen goods, end had once grabbed a barrel of nails, to his knowledge, and who received a tap in the month for his information, were broughtbefore'liii Honor, who fined one of the party $5, and discharged the other. .Theinevitable Susan Hutson who was arraigned under the old charge of being drunk and noisy, kindly placed another five dollar bill in the coffers of the city. A stranger who was drunk and found in the City Park "lying in clover," was fined $2. Three beautiful colored youths, named respec? tively Mike Brown, J. P. Taylor, and B. H Hamil? ton, who had attended a raffle at a houae where they became boisterous and were turned out, and then complimented the proprietor by brick batting the establishment, wero fined $5 each.
