Order of the City.—The police department were remarkably effective yesterday under the direction of the Chief, they having been arranged on the corners of all the streets the whole length of the procession. In the front of the City Hall the management was excellent, whereby a much larger portion of people could obtain a sight of the old General. We did not hear of any pockets being picked, nor was there any of the light fingered gentry seen about, they knowing full well that the orders of the Mayor and Chief were to arrest all pick-pockets, or suspicious persons of that class, and lock them up until after the procession. This order had a most salutary effect, thereby preserving citizens' pocket books, and saving the thieves a lodging in the station house. This might consistently be called the preventive system.
