NO. 5471. Interesting from New Granada. THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC TO THE GRANA- DIANS. Fritow-Citizens—On axsuming the arduous duties of the office of Fre-ident of the republic, I have judged At proper that I should explain to you the principles which will form the guiding ones or my administra- tivn, Io every repubican country. it is highly neces- mary that those who are governed should know what are the rules of conduct which will be followed by those a= rat them, Ever faithful to those principles which triumphed in the elrctoral ballot-box. on the 7th of March last, you Will fiud that I sball labor to support them, because the will of the popular majority is the one that is to be dis- pire in ail the acts and mensures of the government, wm fully convinced thut all the political convalsions that have afflicted our country, as well as all the Spa- nisb American States. have been owing to the disregard which their rulers have shown to the popular will. and striving to become teachers where they ought only to be the willing agents of the views of the majority. I sball not follow such examples; but you will find me ready to yield respectfully (0 the expressed opinion and Voice of the ma, ocitics in the Houses of Representa- tives—the legal exponents of the national voice. ‘Thus, New Granada will bave the repre: ative system in alltruth and the government will be of the people and for the people. With there views, I shall unite cordially with the Mouses. to procure a returm in the constitation, so that the entire governmental structure shall be a taithful expression of the principles of equality and republican Tule. ‘The constitution ought to rve in all their purity the grand principles of equality, liberty. and eration, thoae mort precious fruits of modern civili- Bai ‘snd thus it will contain within itselt the germs Of all improvements that ean in the course of time be develop d, ‘Tke ouly method by which a people can Rive stability to their institutions, is to lend # ready aid to the progressive developement of their prosperity @nu to those varied and new exigencies which become heces ary, The virgin regions of America are the ones d@entined by Providence to offer to the human race the most complete solution of that problem of governing, Viz. : ruling all for the benefit of all. { am, for the geod of my country, ambiticus to do my part, Sid that most fervently to bring about such o Wagnivernt result, Public education, whieh is the imperishable basis en which all’ our insti- tutions cught to rest, will be the object of my atest asiicitude and especial study. 1 believe that ln-truetion ought to be free; but I also believe that the Seve rnwent ought to supervise it iu its course, and as- sist it in the manner which increusing social necessi- ties may require. im every republican goverament, where wen are called to an active participation in the discussion of politicul affairs, it is not only the duty of the goverpment to procure for them the means of gene- Tal instruction, and axsist the youth in the cultivation Of the sciences. it ought carefully to wateh over the developement of this same instruction, in order that this wall of strength for the people shall not be distorted $nto a disturbing or distracting {i and this duty is the more required in those countries which have but: reerutly emerged from under the retrograde dominion of the Spanish monarchy. which dominion has left deep traces, that it has been impossible as yet thoroughly to eradicate, In my opinion, then, the work of public education ought only to be cotided to citizens who are identified with the institutions and the progress of civi- lization The religion of our fathers, which is also that of the Jmmenre majority of Grauadians. claims and will have my greatest respect and veneration; but, being con- vinced that it will not appear in all its purity, or com- pletely tultl its august mission, under those odious ebains with which the tyranny of some monarchs bound it to their thrones, [ shall use my endeavors to restore it to its necessary independence, in order that it may shine with its full epleador, and diffuse itself under the auspices of its sanctity and excellence. In earrying out these views. religiously and democratical- ly, ('shull also respect all creeds sud ail forms of wor- ship. ‘because such ix not only in conformity to the laws of the republic, but for ite huppiness and advantage. Liberty, security, would be vain and idle words, if the tribunals of justice were not religiously and punetually to admini+ter the laws. Nothing, in my opinion, is 50 urgent for the republic, as the bettering of what is termed the administration of justice. The poorer @lasses of society suffer immensely from the present eondition of this branch of public administration, and I promine, that in as far as depends upso the action of the executive power, everything shall be done that is possible for the introduction of radical and lasting re- forms. ‘4 be press, that institution which is so indispensable for the progress of reason and the practical working ofthe representative system, shall be most scrupu- lously respected by meas the chief magistrate of the pation. As to the abuse which is liable to be made of it, | believe that the antidote to that ist» be found in the use of tho press itself; and that, consequontly, 4m no cate ought it to be mussled, under the pretext of maintaining it within its proper limits. The press ought to be allowed a field of action as vast as that of thought itself. It ought only to be restrained when, bs § attacking private life, it is converted into a means defumation, Strong in the popular suffrages, in the rectitudo of my intentions, in the sincere and disinterested love which impels me in favor of the dearest interests of my country, and the intelligent aid aad approval of all good citizens, I indulge the hope of preserving the pablic peace and the observance of the laws, without any necessity for the maintenance of any great per- manent force. As long asthe government Is the work of the popular will, and it is disposed to govern with publi opinion, there ean be no nec amped sup- porting an exprnsive body ofarmed men. Chere will merely be maintained what is nocessary for the pro- tection and security of the coast, and the repressal of delinquents; and this foree only until the perfect or- ganization of a national guard has been effected, for which organization | shall labor assiduously, But not on this account are the considerations due from tke nation to those brave men who have served faithfully and heroically in times past to secure her independenee, to be overlooked. These debts of na- tional gratitude shall never be donied by me in the exereise of my power. In the direction of the public treasures, you may rost asured, fellow citizens, that I will presidy with the most scrupulous care, and that every economy com- patible with good service, shall be practised, that the oducts of the revenues. &c , shall never be diverted from the courses to which the legislatures may order them to be applied, and that in everything dependent on my authority, the tiseal system shail show the lively interest the administratiom takes to alleviate the fn- dusirious and poorer portions of the nation from those drawbacks and difficulties which might retard the i crease of their store. 1 shall sustain the liberty of {1 dustry. but I sball endeavor to prevent this same li- berty from being converted into an oppressive and de- structive Inequality which so often attends on the ac- cumulation of riches. Property, as the first elemont of prosperity and comfort shall be faithfully respected. The sacred rights of our creditors, both home and foreign. shall be attended to, as far as the resources of the public treasury and the subsistence of the govern- ment will permit. | shall occupy myself in this impor- tant affair. not only under the view that credit is an clement of power. of glory and grandeur, but, ulso, that ft is an obligation which conscience and fidelity call on us strictly to fulfil. Desirous to satisfy the increasing hopes and ne- cersities of the country, I shall omit no measure calculated to promote and bring to a termination all thuse public works which can contribute to facili- tate ber commerce and develope her industry, Con- scquently, ronds and means of communication— which | consider not only as elements of riches, but as menne of civilization and good government—shall re- ceive trom my authotity every impulse compatible with the resources at our command. On this point, I ‘am confident that I shall leave nothing to be desired Dy the most ardent apostles of human progress. Tho isthmus of Panama commenced that majestic ca- reer which its happy geographical position has entitled ittoexpect Be assured that this ie Saper part of our republic shall receive liberally all the aid its pros- perity demands. Its immense importance and rapid developement shall not be confined by a timorous o penurious policy. Resolved to maintain, with energy and decision, tho independence and dignity of the republic in its rela tions with the other nations of the world, I shall ob- serve towards them all such good faith, frankness and cordinlity. as lends me to hope that, doing justice to the sincerity of there sentiments. New Granada may. uring the period of my administration, count on th» permannt maintenance of its friendly international relations, Identified as my administration is with the principles which direct the governments of Venezuela and the Eexador, | entertain the firmest hope that. far from disturbing our relations, each succeeding day will find them more strengthened for the prosperity of the threo Biates, and the detinitive and irrevocable establishment of the democratic form of government in the territory over which 8 the glorious Ct teeny, JOSE ARO LOPEZ.

Fienwitn, Monday. May 28. ‘This morning | visited the wreck, and found still farther progress made. It had been got up some twen- ty feet nearer the shore, and the name on the larboard paddle-box, under “the rising sun.” is distinctly visi- ble, She has been raised fully four fect sinoe Sutur- day d by next tide, whick will be a low one, she will be lifted much more. A portmanteau and a box of dry goods were taken up when I was there. As the lug- gage-room is on the starboard-side, and as that side t next the channel, and lowest in the water, on uccount of the slant of the mud on which her bottom rests. the door cannot be got at as yet. but soon will. It is just aft of the paddie-box. The forward part of the main deck is now dry; and there is about five feet of water on the extreme after part. [had room to sail in a small boat, between decks, about three-fourths of her length. There can be no bodies now on the main deck, except apy that may be aft; and as “the ladies’ cabin.” (so called, but not oceupied by ladies. unless for want of room elsewhere) has been cat there is little likelihood of many bein; quarter. Most of those that will be got hereafter. will be found in the lower cabin. The forward part of the main deck being out of wate: arch has been made with hooksia the forward cabin, but no body has been discovered as et. It is expected that the fourth brother of the Ladds isin that direction. itis believed that all the bodies would now float, unless held down by some means or other. It is thought that there must be ano- ther breach under the one at the water's edge, as otherwise it is difficult to imagine how she filled so fast. The upper hole is above the water ling, but it is supposed that a timber having been struck, it “ trip. ed? out below, and thus made a second aperture. All, jowever, will soou be reached, as there is now no doubt that she will soon be got up. THE ADJOURNED INQUEST. The jury were to have assembled at 10 o'clock $this morning; but the Coroner having gone to the wreck in search of bodies, did not retarn till 12 o'clock, Newsunc, May 27—1 P.M. No bodies have been found to-day. The wreck bas swung round with the tide. and her bow is now up the river, The Robert Annette steamer has been plying to and from her all day, with passengers, and a number ot small boats have also been employed in bringing the curious to view the wreck. The Joseph K. Knap has just arrived here from New York, with a considerable inber of passengers, whose chief inducement was to ethe Empire [t is said, that a Catholic bishop is among the number of the lost. The Ladd family have received $1,000 and all their goods from the company. That sum is to compensate them for the damage. They only lost a wagon und a cask of rennetts. Newnuno, Sunday Night.

Brrore Justice Lornror.—The Police Court yos- terday morning was remarkably lively, as the vigtiant police of the 6th ward had arrested during the night some fifteen females, of a variety of colors and com- plexions, some red and bloated from the effects of rum; others pale and sickly looking from the effects of dis- sipation of other kinds; some were decked out in fancy looking dresses, with a shocking bad bonnet; others again were dressed in shocking bad dresses, and a rather decent looking bonnet; some were laughing, while others drew a long face, fearful that six months on Blackwell’s island was surely their doom. All these unfortunate creatures of, fallen virtue, huddled to- gether, exhibited s scene of extreme depravity, that would absolutely strike the easual observer with feel- ings of horror. Officers Jenkins and Dowling stated to the magiizale that tho females present had been ar- rested during the night by them, under the directions of Captain Magness, as they were all inmates of the welling called the Bath house, situated at No. 5203 Pearl strect, and that the neighbors in that vicinity had made frequent complaints that the girls had be- eome a nuisance by conducting themselves in a very disorderly manner, The magistrate, on hearing the charge, called up the girls and informed them the; ve the premises, and thereby abate the nui- nd upon those considerations he would allow them to ®) but if they persisted in remaining in that vieinity, he should be compelled to send them all to. the penitent! for six months each, This Bropa. sition was r¢ ly assented to, and the miserable py were diseharged from custody, to seek another jodging place; in order to carry on their wretched. life. of prostitution. tharge of Grand Larceny—Officer Farvill, of the 7th ward, arrested two men yesterday, the names of Henry Smith and Barney Conlar. on a charge of stealing $120 from the possession of Patrick McLaughlin. On the arrest of the accused, the officer recovered $115 of the stolen money. 3 Charge of Forgery 8 oung Spaniard, by the name of D. G. Latore, alias Antonio Rameres, was arrested. yesterday, by officer Prince John Davis, on a charge of forging « letter of credit from the firm of Mangangas, Dueatel & Co, Havana, to Messrs. Damareaud & Lemayne, of New York, representing that the former firm had drawn upon the latter for $300. This letter, and also a similar one, directed to another firm in this city, were pronounced to be both forgeries. The ac- cused. who could scarcely speak a word of Englis! bse to prison, by Justice Lothrop, to a trial. Passing Bad Money.—A black man, by the name of Aine! Jones, was arrested yesterday on acharge of passing counterfeit money. Officer Benson, of the 17th ward, arrested the accused, and Justice Timpson de- tained him for a turther hearing. “Arrest of Rioters—On Sunday evening about nine o'clock, some thirty rowdies made an attack on the German porter-house kept by Frederick Landman situ- ated at the corner of 40th street and Madison avenue, by oes | stones at the window, and firing in order to drive the inmates from within, an beatseveral of them with clubs. Information of this riotous conduct was despatched to Captain Johuston, of the 18th ward police, who at once headed a posse of his best men and started in pursuit of the rowdies. On arriving at the scene of the riot, the tain, with his men, made @ rush on the rowdies and secured two of the ringleaders, called Isaac Taylor and Wm. O'Keefe. In taking these prisoners, officer Crump received a vio- lent blow on the head, which felled him to the ground, and much fear is entertained that the injury will prove fatal, as Mr. Crump was picked up senseless, nor has he rpoken since receiving the injury. Tho accused a M4 were taken before Justice Bleakley, and com- mitted. A Daring Attempt.—A sailor, by the name of Andrew Lawson, was arrested yesterday, by the 4th ward police, on a charge of attempting to rob the schooner La Belle Francisco, lying at the foot of pler No, 9, East River, which was known tocontain several thousand dollars in specie. It appears that the accused, with his ship- mates, three in number, who brought the vessel into rt, knew of the existence of the money on board. ‘The next night after their arrival at the dock, Captain Ingrabam engaged Nicholas Code, as watchman, to guurd the vessel. During that night, the seamen, as above stated, came on board, and, without a word, knocked down Mr. Code, for the purpose of rifling the veesel of the money. Mr. Code was not so much stunned but what he could give an alarm, and the ras- cals, finding themselves foiled in their design made their escape, However. one of the accused party, An- drew Lawson, was caught, as he was on his way to Phila- delphin, Justice Lothrop committed the accused to prison for trial. Robbing an Officer.—The premises occupied by Mr. George Kenton, policeman of the third ward. No. 204 was his Greenwich street, was broken open, on Saturday last, | by some expert thief, und $40, together with some wearing apparel and jewelry, were carried off. No arrest. Another.—Some thief, on Saturday, entered the pro- mises, No.1 Fifth street, occupied by Mr. Thomas Way, and carried off ten siver teaspoons, four large spoons, and one mustard speen. all marked “M. A. W.”? Also, $350, and an over-coat. No arrest. Savage Assault on an Officer. —As officer Watson, one of the vigilants of the first ward. was at the foot of Wall «treet, yesterday, he observed a negro, called James D, Lane, stealing tea from the cheste rhich had been sold at auction. ir Watson detected him in the act. and endeavored to take him into custody. The ai drew a table kuifo, with the greater part of the blade broken off, and cut at Mr. Watson, inflicting » deep and gharily wound on the neek of Mr, Watson; aleo, a dew te one on the left hand and wrist, se ing the artery and cords of the hand, The blood flowed profusely, and much doubt is ained of hi very. The black rascal was subsequently arrested, and conveyed before Justice Lothrop, who committed him to prison for trial Severy Fire at Trrrixn, On1o.—Wanrenovses anp 8,000 BusnEis} or Wurat Destroyep.—On the night of the 15th instant, the large warehouse of W..N. Montgomery, situated at the Railroad Depot. at Tiflln, (O.,) was burned. It contained about 8.000 burhels of stored wheat, belonging principally to far- mers, together with a quantity of stoves, marble, and merchandise of various kinds. An insurance of $8,000 was on the building and contents, which is thought nearly sufficient to cover the loss sustained by Mr. Montgomery; $5.000 of which is in the Stark Mutual, and $3,000 in the tna Insurance Company. It supposed the warehouso was set on fire by an in- cndiary. _ Nayar Srorrs.—We are already exporting sp rits of turpentine and rosin. David Stodder has lately shipped to New Orleans 350 barrels of rosin, and to New York 70 barrels of spirits of turpentine.all from the distillery of Colonel R. D, James, of Clarke county. Heretofore our supplies of these articles came from New York, the crude turpentine having been sent thi- ther from North Carolina for distillation, This unna- tural course of trade Is stopped ‘already ; for Col. James and other distillers can not only undereell those who urchase supplies either in New York or North Caro- ina, but they can ship their surplus stocks to the for- mer and other nd realize satisfactory profite.— Mobile Herald, May Fine 1x tr Woops.—We learn from the Salem Gazette, that a destructive fire has been ri Be- veral days this week, in the woods, en ia] in Charles river, in Newton, The fire is supposed tohave taken from the segar of come pleasure secker, Meeting In Front of the Tombs, to Remen- strate Against the Establishment of a Cholera Hospital at the Old Arsenal, in Cehtre Street. A large meeting of the citizens of the Sixth ward was last evening held in front ef the Tombs, in Centre street, to remonstrate against the old Arsenal being used as a cholera hospital. The place was illuminated by the gas lamps in the vestibule of the Halls of Jus- tice, several wax candles. and numerous large bonfires, which were lighted and kept burning in the street, The following gentlemen were called to serve as off- cers of the meeting:—As President, Peter Field, of White street; as Vice-Presidents, Philip Collins and Thomas J. Barr; as Secretaries, George Wilkes and Owen W. Brenvan. ‘The first business in order was reading the call ofthe meeting, which was as follows :— * Save yous lives !— Citizens of New York, who are op- pored to having a general cholera hospital located at the old Arsenal yard. in the centre of the most popu- lous portion of the city, lying immediately between the two great thoroughfares of Broadway and Centre street, will meet on Monday evening. om the steps of the Tombs, in Centre street, to protest against the same, and to take into consideration such measures as may be suited to the crisis.’ A motion to adopt the call was put, and carried una- nimcusly. After which, Mr. BE. E. Came being called for. came forward and stated that he had some resolu- tions to offer. The call of the meeting. he said, had been read, and the persons present had evinced a dis- position to second the views contained in that call, The Secretary of State had been applied to by the Board of Health. to appropriate the old Arsenal grounds for a cholera hospital, in case the disease should be- come prevalent; and ia consequence of this action on the part of the Board of Health, this meeting had been called, in order to call out an expression of sentiment on the subject. He would therefore present the fol- lowing preamble and resolutions * Whereas. It appears from the daily official reports of the Sanitary Committee of the Board of Health of this city, that the Ariatic cholera exists therein. and that a proposition has been made by said body to procure the State Arsepal yard, located inthe 8 xth§ ward, as s Horpital for the reception of persons afflicted with this contagious or infectious disease, therefore, bei rrolved, by the citizens here assembled, That it is the duty of the members of the Board of Health, under the law of this State, and their solemn oaths of office, to take immediate measures to relieve any thickly populated portion of our city from infectious or contegious disease, by prompt removal of sh Girlie patients from the midst of those in health, aud not to establish a pestilence, by erngregation in a temporarily erceted Hospital in the immediate vicinity where the patient was casu- aug aiticked esolved, That the persons forming the Board of Health are the mere elected representatives of the people, and we therefore protest against their selection ef the Arsenal yard as a Cholera Hospital; and hereby instruct our representatives in that body, to oppose every measurecalculated to effect that object. Because, the location is in the midst of dwellings, yet unapproached by cholera. Because, the arsenal yard isin immediate proximity to the City Prison, new containing over threo hundred accured persons, not one of whom has as yet been at- tucked with cholera. and not one of whom has power to remove from its approach, Becaure, it is also adjoining the Court of Sessions, lower Volice office, and Sixth ward Police Station-house, to which our citizens, jurors, witnesses, jud &e., &e., are daily attendants, and who would be brought within the effiuvium of the pestilenec, and thus convey it to every ward in the yay Because, there are public grounds and public lands sufficient, without the precincts of this ward. and not immediately surrounded if dwellings, whereon to erect temporary buildings for all pasients afflicted with this disease ; and because, there are public iustitutions, un- der the control of the city government, to which all pe should be sent, who are the recipients of pub- ie charity. Resolved, That we shall view every member of the Board of Health, who disrespects these instructions, ss an enemy to the citizens of the Sixth ward in particu- lar, and to the public health of the city in general. Resolved, That having in view the increased venti- lation and health of the city, and believing that all public property, when not required for immediate pur- pores of occupation, should be preserved for public use. we requeet the Common Council of this city to obtain from the Legislature of the State the privilege of converting the arsenal yard into a public perk, for the use and benefit of the citizens of New York: Because, the neighborhood in its vicinity is densely Be ulated, teeming with children, and because the wellings of the poor, in that vicinity, are unquestion- ably more numerously tenanted than im any other portion of the city, and therefore make such @ source of refreshment and recreation necesrary : And because, we believe that such s conversion of the now rejected space would be incalculably moro to the city hereafter, than would its present sequestration into private hands, for the sake of « few thourand dollars in the public treasury. Resolved, Thgt a copy of these resolutions be for- warded by the officers of this mecting to the President ot the Board of Health, and also to the presiding officers of both Beards of Aldermen, Mir. Camp aid, that in framing these resolutions, ho had endeavored to produce such arguments as would show the Reoessity of preventing the establishment of «cholera thospital in the Sixth ward. One or two pa- tients from other wards had already been brought iato this district. Now, sofar from this being right, it w: not even neeeseary that persons taken with the dis- ease in the ward should be kept here, There were other places far more appropriate, and it would bo bet- ter to remove the patients to there locations. The Al- dorman of the ward ought to be instructed to defend the rignts of hie constituents in this matter. (A voice, “and fo he will.””) With a few other and appropriate remarks, Mr. Camp gave way, anda call was made for Mr. Rynders;”” whereupon, Capt. Ryworns approached the stand and addrossed the atsemblage. He began by feying that he was a citizen of the Sixth ward, and he had been requested to come to the meeting and oppose the project of estab- lishing @ cholera hospital in the ward; he was deter- mined to do as he had been requested, and to raise his as ainst the project; he offered the following re- solution: Resolved, That establishing a hospital for cholera, or any contagious disease. in the midst of the most densely opulated portion of the city, without consulting the Feainges and views of the inbabitants within ita immo- diate vicinity. is a violation of their rights, and danger- ous in its tendencies, Recolved, That we call on Patrick Kelly, Alderman and reprerentative of the people, of the Sixth ward, to use every exertion in his oficial capacity to prevent this innovation upon the rights of his constituents, These resolutions were passed unanimously. Atter the passage of the above resolutions, Capt. R. said he had one more to offer, It appeared to be the sentiment ot the aristocrats that the Sixth ward should be the place selected as the proper location for a cholera hospital (The speaker paused and looked about him ) He hoped there would be no occasion to read the riot act, (laughter) or to call out the National Guard. (Lond laughter and cries of derision.) Where do you think, fellow citizens, he asked, the hospital should be established? (A voice, “ At the Opera House”) Why, you have anticipated my resolution. Yes. at the Opera House—it would be such a nice place—good, comfortable, cushioned seats for the nurses, and good accommodations all through, It would, indeed, be just the place, I will read the resolution, This is it :— Reselved. That the Astor Opera House, from its most desirable and healthy location and superior accommo- dations, is far preferable to the Arsenal yard as a hos- pital: and we therefore respectfully, but earnestly, s0- icit our city authorities to obtain a lease of raid Opera Houee for that special purpose, not entertaining a doubt but that the humane and generous proprietors will grant euch a reasonable request. This revolution being put by the President to the meeting, was adopted nem con,, and then three cheers ‘were given for it. ‘The speaker eontinued—I am glad that I came toa meeting of the eitizens of the 6th ward, to offer my resolution, I should have been almost aftaid to have offered it in some places. ” I should have been afraid of the military. ( “Och, murther.”” Laughter and continued c! hooting.) You know that there was, some time since, a meeting in front of the Sun office. Some of you whom I now see here were thereat the time, You said you had Plainfield notes, and that you would have the money for them, or the house should come down. I told you I thought the money would be paid, Mr, Beach aaid he would pay it, andi don’t know but he did ashe raid he would, There was no military calied out on that occasion. The speaker returned to the subject of his resolution, and after making a few remarks in sup- port of it. sat down. On motion, the meeting was ag ne sides the bill headed “ Save your lives,” another placard was posted at various places in the 6th ward, yesterday. It read as follows :— “KEEP THE PEACE ! “It having been announced tothe citizens of the 6th ward that a meeting will be held on the steps of the ‘bs this evening, the Mayor, by virtue of his office, and deploring the late loss of life at the Astor Place Opera House, recommends his fellow citizens to be moderate in their eapesestions and feelings, and to ce te that equanimity of temper which character- ed them during the late fad catastrophe.
