ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP NIAGARA AT HALIFAX. BITtTRA HERALD. The following note was received last night:— Boston Tetronarit omen Tnunspar, May 81—10 P. M. At eight o'clock, this evening, the Portland line {from Boston to Portland,) resumed operation, after being down nearly all day, and we had the announce- ment that the steamer’s news was about being received over the Maine line, In half an hour afterwards. and before we could ob tain any of the news, the Portland line was again in- terrupted, (probably at one of the draw-bridges on the line.) and, to this hour, communication has not een resumed, There is now no prospect of its resuming, and we shall probably receive the news early in the morning— or as soon as the line can be repaired. JAS. F, FOSS. We shall publish the news in an Extra Hgravp, immediately after it is received. General Taylor's Policy—What Is it to be? In the columns of one of our contemporaries, in ‘Wall street—the Courier aud Enguirer—we find ® very pregnant article, singularly enough published on the same day with ours of yesterday, intimating a.similar necessity for the administration at Wash- ington to prepare and bring forth their general policy, both on foreign and domestic affairs—a ne- cessity to which we particularly alluded in our re- marks of yesterday. In making some observations, rather uncomplimentary—and unjustly so, we think —upon the accession of Mr. Edmund Burke, late Cemmissioner of Patents, as co-editor of the Union —a journal that certainly needed the infusion of some practical common sense—we find the follow- ing remarke, which are pregnant with meaning at this period in the history of General Taylor’s ad- ministration :— ship, under such a political system as ours, is not confined to departments and bureaus at Washington. Intellect is free, and often 1t 1s able to form more accurate views, and display greater shill, than are to be met with in the departments and bureaus of government. Within the last month, the navigation laws of England have been revolutionized. Should the United States meet that overture in the spirit oPa common race and common humanity, or like a haggler in Wall street, who contends for one-half of one per cent broker- age in the price of a change of opinion? Yes— we must have an administrative policy as respects both foreign and domestic affairs, now that the hubbub about the distribution of the spoils is nearly over. Tue Feperat Arromrments 1N THIS Crry.— The interest felt in the appointments in the hands of the general government, connected with the Custom House, Post Office, and other depart- ments, has been reduced to a small circle since the action at Washington on the subject, although it may yet acquire considerable intensity in more immediate connection with the Collector in the Custom House. The manner in which the cabi- net transacted this business was calculated to create gradually a very amusing and interesting excitement among the office-begging fraternity at- tached to General Taylor’s party. They began with the more ordinary appointments, and gradu- ally went on with one or two every week, untij they reached the last scene of the comedy, by the appointment of the Collector himself, Mr. Maxwell. Now, the deepest interest is concen- trated on the Collector, and what he is going to de among the numerous candidates that are crowding around him, and those who are his advisers. Mr. Maxwell is the Collector, but he does not possess despotic power. He has not the whole power inhis own hands. He cannot even make ' his own appointments without the cencurrence of a sort of advisory committee here, whose action will, after all, be reviewed by the Secretary of the Treasury at Washington. In the olden time, when the democracy had full swing in New York, there was always some master spirit, who had the repu- tation of advising in all matters relating to the dis- tnbution of office. At one time, the late Walter Bowne was considered the father of the party. Then, our respectable fellow citizen, John Tar- gee, was the grand counsellor and guide. Of late years, however, “the old man” of the democratic party has been ehanged every few months. The same system will probably obtain among the whigs, or conservatives, as they are now going to call themselves. The old man of the whig party, who will probably have most influence with Mr. Maxwell, the collector, is not so very old @ man in years as he may be in wisdom and dis- cretion ; but his name 1s Moses H. Grinnell—and a very clever, gentlemanly, business man he is.— We believe that Mr. Grinnell, and a few others, will be the principal advisers of Mr. Maxwell, in filling up the custom-house with the new employ- és. Mr. Grinnell has many points of excellence and worth, but we doubt whether he has the ex- tensive capacity necessary to organize a great conservative party in New York, merely on the basis of the Custom-House. Capital at buying and selling ships, goods, and merchandise, making bargains, paying off ship-captains, and building new veseels, Mr. Grinnell may yet be quite want- ing in the talent and capabilities necessary to qua- lify him for.the work of constructing anew con- servative party in this city, which will last for The accession of Mr. Burke to the Union signifies nothing, probably. but that he was out of a place, and sought a chance to make war upon those who put him out. But bis enlistment affords a favorable occasion for calling attention anew to the fact, that the adminis- tration is doomed to encounter as fierce and relentlens an opposition as the government has ever known. It will not do to sleep in the belief that moderation is hereafter to rule the politics of the country. The op- osition has not been inactive for a moment since the t Presidential contest, nor will they cease their ox- ertions fer a moment until the next. The success they have bad thus far, is highly encouraging. If it continues ‘uninterrupted. they will control both branches of Con- gress. And what will follow. remains to be seen. One thing is certain—locofoco activity must be met ‘dy some other weapon than inert, passive confidence and hope, There must be an administrative policy— ‘clear comprebensive. adapted to the wants of the coun- try. and echoing the public sentiment. The govern- ment must be conducted upon some plan—shaped to attain some certain, definite end, and fitted to meet the wishes and the views of the great body of the adminis- tration party throughout t’ e Union. Party efforts can be relaxed on one side only when they arorelaxed on the other. It would be folly for the whigs to repose on their laurels, while the enemy ins in the field. They may enjoy their victory time thereby, but they only become more easily the prey of their foes at the next encounte: The singular identity between the opinions thus expressed by the Courier and Enguirer and those presented in our own columns yesterday, might al- most be regarded asa species of circumstantial evidence tending to prove a common origin, al- though nothing could be farther from the truth than such a supposition. Indeed, this unity of sen- thment is quite natural. All intelligent minds, possessing the comprehensiveness and the activity ofa statesman and a politician of more than the mere ‘‘spoils” seeking order, must view the ad- ministration of General Taylor, and its relations to the other political elements of the country, in pre cisely the same light in which they have been pre- sented in our columns, and by our contemporary. There can be no doubt that General Taylor and his administration are doomed to encounter as fierce and relentless an opposition as any govern- ment in this country has heretofore been called ‘upon te meet. That opposition has been preparing for the contest ever since the election in last No- vember. It must always be borne in mind that the election of General Taylor was not a whig triumph. It gave no evidence of a change in puolic opinion favorable to the progress or ascendancy of whig Principles. It was the result of the great populari- ty of General Taylor himself, and a temporary dis- ‘union of the democratic party. The old democra- cy, although apparently broken and divided on a great sectional question, yet presents sufficient points of union and possesses sufficient power of cohesion to carry ona formidable, and it may be successful, war against General Taylor and his ad- ‘ministration before another Presidential election. Such being the existing state of affairs with re- gard to the administration, and the paltry squab- bles about the ‘‘spoils” being now nearly at an end, it becomes most important and necessary for Ge- neral Taylor and his cabinet to adopt an administrative policy suited to the age and the circumstances of the country. An abne- gation of the powers entrusted to them by the constitution, would subject the administration to the derision and contempt of the country. The revival of the old whig issues—“ bank,” extreme “tariff,” and other similar measures—will not pass current at the present day. The state of the coun- try 1s very different from that in which it has been placed at any other period since the formation of the government. Its foreign and domestic policy must be moulded so as to correspond with the new duties, the new position, and the great re- sponsibilities which are now thrown upon the United States, now one of the greatest powers of the civilized world. The narrow, limited, bartering, counting-house, Wall street mode of conducting the great affairs of a mighty people, will not an. swer in the present wonderful age, which has ‘wrought such mighty changes. ‘We agree, therefore, with our contemporary, that there must be “an administrative policy, plain, cleay, and comprehensive, adapted to the ‘wants of the country, and echoing the public sen- timent.” What is that policy to be? Has our contemporary any idea undisclosed in such an im- portant matter? He is decided enough in his de- ¢laration of the necessity for the adoption of a certain policy. 1s he prepared to point out the way in which the necessity is to be met? We have formed some conceptions on the subject, and shall not hesitate to place them before the cabinet and the country, to teke their chance with those of ether advisers. Will our contemporary venture pon a similar unboroming of himself? There are po secrets m ypopalar government. Statesman- twenty years, without the necessity of insurance. We understand that about fifteen hundred candi- dates have presented their credentials for places in the Custom-House, and that Mr. Maxwell and his local cabinet are at work, night and day, to deter- mine who shall get “ the spoils.” Well, we have little to say in this matter. But so faras we can judge from the course and policy thus far pursued by the federal officers of this eity, appointed within the last three months, under the auspices of the present administration, we must say that we cannot perceive much intelligence or much tact. The very first act of the new Naval Officer of the port offended the great bulk of his own party, by some of his appointments, as also the common feelings of equity and justice, to say nothing of delicacy and propriety. Nor has the new District Attorney been much more fortunate. He certainly has not added anything to the popu- larity of the administration. As to the new Postmaster, the first act he perpetrated in his offi- cial capacity, was.a virtual violation of the post- office laws. Indeed, all the new officers have, to a certain extent, acted in virtual hostility of that spi- rit of liberality which brought their party into power. What course Mr. Maxwell may pursue, we cannot yet conjecture. We know the political history of this gentleman in former years very well. {t is at present a curious problem, the solution of which we await with some curiosity, but perfect unconcern. Justice axp Mopesrr or Tur Common Gouncit. —Tr« Lats Tragepy.—As our readers. are aware from the reported proceedings of the Common Couneil, that enlightened body has passed resolu- tions of thanks, not only to the military on duty during the tragic scene at Massacre Place, but also to the police, and, tacitly, to the civil authori- ties themselves. Now, so far as the military are concerned, they merely obeyed orders, and are not to be blamed ; but the vote of thanks to the police is one of the most impudent and unjust acts ever perpetrated by a Common Council—and that is say- ing a good deal. It is, indeed, a piece of the cool- est eflrontery, in the face of a solemn investiga- tion which is new proceeding, thus to attempt to whitewash the action of the civil authorities and the police. The police, by all accounts, merit the severest censure, instead of thanks. Why did they not stop the disorderly and disgraceful proceedings on the Monday night when Mr. Macready was as- sailed by missiles on the stage? Why did they, on the night of the tragedy in tho street, stow themselves away in the theatre and Mrs. Lang- don’s house, leaving the street to the dwerderly, the thoughtless, the riotous, and the lookers on, who were afterwards shot down like dogs? It 1s said that the police were in league with the rioters on Monday night. Is this 02 Come, come, this matter must be probed to the very bottom. The whole affair must be turned inside out. No white- washing resslutions, or impudent and indecent votes of thanks, can cover over this affair. Why did the Mayor himself run away on the night of the tragedy, as he himself confesees? Why is there an attempt now to skulk from investigation ? We must not have any dodging. lives of eur fellow beings are not to be sacrificed without the most solemn, and rigid, and marches atl tion. Who instigated the riot? Who are the culprits? Let us have them, that they may be brought to condign punishment. The authorities will spa! of this Pao again, and again, as egain, “ line uy ine, precept upon precept, here alittle and there @ little,” till the whole business is made as clear as day. Tur Cnotera ann THE Sanitary Commrrrer. Owing chiefly to the awful igmorance and stupidity of the Board ef Health and the Sanitary Commit- tee, a good deal of alarm has been created about the cholera im this city. Is it, indeed, impossible to get a full, plain, and intelligible report about all this subject, from competent and reliable sources Why does not the Medical Society of the city and county, appoint a committee, not of hambuge with great names, but intelligent and competent physi- cians, who may be able to give the public correct information? It is said that a large quantity of damaged hame were sold at three cents a pound, in the neighborhood of the Five Points, just before the cuses of alleged Asiatic cholera appeared there. How are the facts? Again, we call for a sensible report, 6o that the public raay really know what the facta are in relation to this most important St the areetol™ Lock ax the wnuncrably diagrace at the sireets atthe unut ful condition of the city! Ig there no hope for this ep arently doomed metrope Let Oruea anp Fasnton.—We understand that the proprietors of the Opera House have made ar- rangements with Mr. Maretzek, well known as the accomplished director of the orchestra last season, and thut he will take the whole manage- ment of the Opera into his hands next season, and be, in fact, the manager. This is quite a curious revolution in musical affairs and operatic manag~ ment; but perhaps not more so than many of the movements connected with the history of the Opera House for the last two years. Mr, Maret- zek is a German, an artist of very considerable talents, and what is more, understands his profes- sion, and has a good deal of tact and business ability. ‘The Italian Opera, and all that concerns it, has been growing dreadfully unpopular during the last two years; and the late tragic events in that neigh- borhood have not by any means diminished the un- popularity. But if any man can succeed in resus- citating, on a popular and practical basis, the re- fiued amusement of the Italian Opera, probably Mr. Maretzek will be able to succeed in doing 50. He must, however, change many of the rules and regulations which have hitherto been adopted. If possible, the whole thing should be populanzed, and the subscription system utterly abolished. The little set of exclusives—some of them very reepectable people, and sthers anything but res- pectuble—who monopolized the best seats at the Opera during the last two years, should be put on the same footing with the great mass of the in- telligence and respectability of this city, who do not make much noise here or at the watering places. Nothing but a popular system can suc- ceed in this or any other kind of amusement, in such a city as New York. Suort Passage.—The ship Jamestown, Capt. Trask, arrived below yesterday afternoon, from Liverpool, from whence she sailed on the 8th ult., thus making the passage in about twenty-two days. The Cholera in the United States. IN NEW YORK CITY. Sanrtany Committee, May 31, 1849.—Dr. Geer, the resident physician, reports eight new cases of cholera, and two deaths, as having occurred since bis rvport of yesterday; three of which were in private practice, and five in the cholera horpital. (Signed by Committeo } One of the cases above reported was that of Joho Carroll, aged 56 years, who was tuken to thu hospital trem the City Prison. He was attacked with violout diarrhwa at Essex Market. and conveyed to the Tombs, when be became so ill that it became necessary to take him to the Bospliet, where his case was looked upon as hopeless, He is of very dissipated habits. and some suppose that his discase was brought on by exposure. Another was the case of # young man, named John Dilion, whe was attacked at No.10 Mulberry street, where several other cases have occurred. It may be peoper here to call the attention of the Dity Inspector to the condition of these premises, for though it may bave been once cleansed. there is & neoewsily for at- tention to it at least once a week. A case which has not yet been reported, ocourred yesterday in Green- wich strest. Mr. Sheridan, the keeper of a dry goods store, was violently attacked, but his physician reports him convalercent. Several;cases have been reported in private practice. but they must be few m comparison with the actual number. It is proper that every case having avy of the symptomy or appearance ot cholera, should be reported to the Board of He: . that # pro- per knowledge of the extent of the discase may be known, I’bysicians generally are not apt to report the cases coming within their private practicy; but the following proclamation from the Mayor will doubtless have the effect to place before the public daily, a true report of all the casus occurring in the city :— PROCLAMATION.
