The body

of Capt. Archibald Wilkinson, late Chief of the Night Police, was carried to its final resting-place, Shockoe Hill Burying-Ground, yesterday, attended by all those professionally associated with him as conservators of the public peace, besides a large number of attached friends. Capt. W. is succeeded in charge of the Watch by 1st Lieut L. M. Carter, and the arrangement will no doubt so remain until the next election, the Council having no right, so far as we are advised, to supply the vacancy by the appointment of a Captain.
