A Quiet Sunday.--In taking our usual stroll through the city yesterday, we did not observe any of those indications of a riotous and disorderly nature which, on too many occasions heretofore, have disgraced Brooklyn. With the exception of an outbreak among some colored men at Wallabout--four of whom were arrested and locked up in the jail by officer Bennet--we did not hear of any breaches of the peace, or other overt acts of an improper character. There is no doubt that the police have taken a hint from the newspapers, and exercised a little more vigilance and determination in the performance of their duties than they have been wont to do, until roused from their lethargy by the press.
