New York, Wedn aday, J 6, ana, Foreign News: Important Procegvinas 1x THE Court or Szs- sions—ELoqugent CuarGeE To THE GRAND JuRY, ON Later news from Europe may now be hourly THR Buoopy Massacre at Tue Astor Piace expected, by either the steamer Hermann, which TueaTRe.—A most important proceeding took is over due at this port, or by the Europa, which ig due at Halifax this morning. The latter’s news will be one week later, and will be issued immedi- ately on its receipt. General Taylor and his Foreign Appoint- mente. One of the most important features of the Ame- rican government in the present revolutionary age of the world, is, undoubtedly, the adoption of a wise and high-minded foreign policy, and the se- lection of men of the first order of intellect to re. present this country abroad, and to carry that policy into execution, with vigor, discretion, intelli- gence, and success. In some respects, the present age may be consi- dered one of the most important in a series of ten centuries. A revolution, universal, irresistible, and possessed of the highest dramatic interest, is now sweeping all over Europe—overturning long established systems, agitating all classes with pro- found emotions, and preparing the way for an en- tirgly new order of things. Thies revolution, so wide-epread and so grand, is marked everywhere by certain popular features, in which all thoughtful men, while they discern at once its real character and its destined triumph, also perceive its identity with that great movement which resulted in the independence of the old thirteen colonies, and the establishment of this republic on the broad and deep foundations of free and pepular government. At such an epoch, the foreign policy of this coun- try, which now possesses a power, both maritime and otherwise, in many respects equal, and in some superior, to that of any other independent nation, becomes invested with a new and imposing importance and interest. Thrown into a new position in relation to the revolutionary countries of Europe, the govern- ment of the United States must adopt those mea- tures which will be best adapted to maintain the character ot the country, and select those men to place yesterday in the Court of Sessions. In the usual charge delivered to the Grand Jury, Judge Daly took occasion to refer, eloquently and spirit- edly, to the recent theatrical riot in Astor Place, where twenty-three American citizens were killed, and fifty-one wounded, in order to settle a dispute originating with two arrogant and conceited play- actors. The Judge called upon the Grand Jury to enter at once upon a rigid investigation of that affair, and to bring the aiders and abettors of that deplorable riot to condign punishment. He also alluded, in severe terms, to that portion of the authorities who abandoned their public duties in the very midst of the crisis. Did he mean the Mayor, who, in the midst of it, ran away from the theatre to the New York Hotel? or to the police, who folded up their arms on the night of the first riot, which set the whole community on fire? We trust the Grand Jur¥ will follow up energetically the excellent charge of the Judge, and make a thorough investi- gation into this bloody business—a business unpa- ralleled in the theatrical history of the civilized world. Let the Grand Jury at once order Judge Edmonds and his questionable investigation before them; for the Grand Jury alone have the true and legitimate authority over this awful business. Some of the evidence already taken by Judge Edmonds, is of an astounding nature. It is said that several of the rieters, who have been confined on acharge of arson by attempting to set fire to the theatre, have already been exammed, and made affidavits that they received numerous tickets from some of the committee who invited Macready to play on the Thursday night of the riot. We expect the Grand Jury, if they follow up this investigation, will make some of the most astound- ing discoveries, developing the origin of that awful ; massacre of human beings, merely to gratify the vanity of a playactor. Tne Postic Hearn anp Tur Crry Avtuori- carry them out capuble of comprehending the new | Tres.—A great deal has been said, in certain quar- and important crisis in the history of the world. Hence the necessity imposed upon the President and his cabinet, in such a state of things, to weigh with the greatest deliberation, and select with the nicest acumen, the men who are to represent this country ebroad. In discharging this duty, the administration must remove themselves altogether from the miserable motives which govern the con- duct of the mere hunters after the spoils, and office- beggars of all kinds. ters, about the energy and zeal with which the city authorities are cleaning the streets and taking other sanitary measures. To some extent, these laudations are not altogether unmerited. For the first time in many years, the élite of this metrepolis | have obtained the contrel of the city government ; and they have, very naturally, taken certain quar- ters of the city under special guardianship. All around Astor Place—the scene of the massacre— the streets are clean and sweet. Union Square, In the present position of General Taylor and | and the region roundabout that elegant resort, are his cabinet, we are not surprised at the violence in a delightful state of freedom from filth. The with which hismovements have been assailed by | fountain plays and sparkles beautifully in the eve- such journals as the Washington Union, and its affiliated contemporaries of the same class through- out the country. These ergans convey to the pub- lie merely the bitterness that preys upon office- holders in relinguishing their posts, or of selfish mea looking merely to seltish purposes. Such opposition to General Taylor and his administra- tion is one of the natural attributes of degraded human nature. But, unfortunately, we find among a certain portion of the press claiming to belong te the whig purty, and to be supporters of the ad- ministration of General Taylor, the same spirit of office-begging, the sume rabid appetite for the spoils, producing the same disgusting features which mark the organs of the spoils-men connect- ed with locotoco journalism throughout the country. In the Morning Express of yesterday—a journal conducted by a personage who, by accident, has been elected to the next House of Representatives, owned, in part, by another member of the same House, and the organ, as it is generally uaderstood, of a clique of office-huntersot ull kinds and condi- tions—we find Gen. Taylor aud bis admiuistration ning, and the fashionable promenade is as agreea- ble as it can possibly be made. Fourteenth street | and the Fifth avenue have also been thoroughly and carefully cleansed; and, indeed, throughout all | the fashionable and aristocratic faubourgs, all that an enlightened and benevolent zeal for the public health could accomplish, has been done. Thus far, then, the praises lavished on the city authori- ties by their friends ana admirers, are well merited. | But how is it in those regions where the toiling | artisan, and the day laborer, and the humble store- | keeper, and the poor wretches who know not | where to lay their aching heads, “ most do con- | gregate?” Howis it inthe vast districts o thickly | peopled by the respectable middle classes, who have only heard of ‘the polka,” and eat the bread of industry off plain earthenware? Why, the élite who govern the city, have not had time, yet, to visit those regions. They—the streets in those wards— are reeking with filth. Pestilential gases are ascending from the accumulated dirt and garbage, and poison the atmosphere and the dwellings. In suck a state of the streets in the populous parts of | the cit , would ii be at all strange that the pesti- | assailed for not making a particularselvction forthe | lence should spread from house to house, and carry | foreign service, in the same way in which the same | | journal recently assuiled them, because that coterie | happened to be disappointed in certain expectations connected with the distribution of the federal offi- ces in this city. If the adsministrauon have not fulfilled the wishes either of Mr. Fuller or ot Mr. Webb, in refusing to each of those persons the office to which they aspired, we ure pertectly satis- fied that the President and the Cabinet have good aad sufficient reasons for the rerusal, and that the great bulk of the commuuity, without reference to the personal character or history of either of the ‘unsuccessful aspirants, will sanction what has been done at Washington in that respect. It is idle to | talk of the claims of either of these candidates, the one for the Marshalship, and the other for a high diplomatic mussion. For neither of these posts were they qualitied; und as to their party services, or their influcuce upon public opinion, not the least claim could be justly set up by them on that score. General Taylor and hus cabmet have viewed these clauns and these pretensions in the true light, and we have ao doubt that the great bulk of the intelligence of this community will sustain their action in the premises. | The Lxpress uswerts that one of these indivi- duals wae “‘the first Taylor man in this city’—a statement which is evidently without foundation 1a truth or fact, as is plain to all who read the Newspapers.

The “linement,” inwardly or outw rdly, in cholera times, or not in cholera times, is a capital thing for the stomach, fer the nerves, for the mind, for the imagination; and particularly for those who have no taste either for Bryant’s poetry or Brandreth’s pills—to whom we recommend it in the most especial manner.

From Rio Janemo—Trovs.e Between Tue Ca- LIFORNIANS AND Braziiians.—We find in the Rio Jornal do Comercio, of the 22d April, the following account of some difficulties which had occurred at St. Catharines, between some California emi- grants and natives. The letter from which the account is taken, was dated the 18th May: “ Eight American vessels, with between seven and eight hundred passengers on board, touched here on their way to California, A number of these landed on Sunday, the 15th, and conducted tl ina disorderly manner. The citizens of the place, who, from the first, looked on them with dislike, ga- thered together in troo) nd armed, and attacked theso disorderlies, who, in their turn, resorted to arms, and a conflict was the result,in which one American was killed, and four seriously wounded. Of the people of St. Catharine's, three or four were seriously wound- ed.
