Ac. Dut this was never paid to them whoa they wore on duty in tho Department hero. Dut tho services of Baldwin and his detectives in preparing special dispatches for such newspaper correspondents os would send them, and invent* lug scandalous stories about Prof. Marsh and others who had exposed the rascality of loading officials of tho Department, woro so groat that no ordinary, lawful salary was sufficient, and so, at Baldwin’s suggestion, and with Delano’s approval, an order was issued by tbo Commissioner of Pensions for the paymout'to some of these of £0 a day and to others of £4 a day, all tbo time, whether they woro on doty hero or elsewhere. In Baldwin’s own caso, tbo per diem was £4, and with his regular salary of SI,BOO a year made his pay $3,500. This matter was brought to tho atten tion of Gen.

Tho day wan ono selected for a pilgrimage of tho Roman Catholics from church to church, in commem oration of certain promulgations By tho Orange body and Voting Britons, thin wan con sidered objectionable on two ground's viz.: tho character of (ho observance and the fact of its being conducted on tho Habbath day- For days past it had Icon rumored that opposition would bo ‘given to the procession, and an attempt made to prevent ita being carried out. On tho other hand, (he Catholics, having a right to hold tho procesdon on Hunday, “no law preventing," they expressed their determination not to be intimidated from carrying out their intentioorf, and accordingly the whole city waa wrought to a high state of excitement. Early thin morning two troops of cavalry, the Queen's Own (title itrigade. anil the Tenth *lt<>yale were assembled and hold in readiness to minduo any outbreak. All remained quiet uutil the procession wan ready to leave the Cathedral, at which time Metropolitan .Square and tho street* adjacent were lined by n crowd estimated at JO.ifOU persons.

Scarcely had the procession begun to move betore hundreds of young mou began stoning them. The police charged on thorn, and a few shots were die* charged, by whicli throe or foor persona wero in jured. Passing west along Adelaide street to Ht. Mary’s Cimrch on Bathurst etreet, a distance of a mile and n half, the procession, headed by a strong hod? of police, were assaulted at almost every street-crossing. when shots were tired and mote or leas persona wounded. Mean while tho military took up their line of march along King street west, parallel with the procession and one street south of it. With tho military was the Mayor of tho city, who, in case of necessity, was prepared to road the riot act, when tho military would bo catted on to interfere. Tho procession reached ita destination, whore more shots wore fired and more encounters occurred. Tho procession here dispersed, and the military returned to its quar ters, awaiting further orders. At the time of writing, a feeling prevails that further disturb ance of tho peace ia imminent. Several of tho police force were disabled, a largo number of persona more or less injured, and it is reported that two persons wero fatally wounded by re volver-shots. It is impossible, at present, to stato positively what tbo result will ho, but tuo fact that the military are under arms has a good effect, and at this hour th* riot act hat not been read. UTHi.
