Loafers on the Battery.—We alluded the other day to the constant habit of men of genteel appearance promenading the walks on the Battery and insulting respectable females. We are now pleased to learn that Captain Wiley, of the 1st ward police, who is a gentleman and, of course, a protector of the fair sex, has stationed two vigilant policemen on the Battery, whose duty it is to keep that beautiful promenade in excellent order, and particularly to detect all these genteel loafers, who so frequently insult respectable females, and at once arrest the scamps and convey them to the station house. By this excellent arrangement ladies now can with safety visit the Battery, without fear of insult, much to the credit of Captain Wiley.
