The Recent Election—The City Govern. ment, As far os the interests of the city of New York were concerned in the election which has recently tuken place, it cannot be questioned that the ad- ministration of city aflairs, end the course of policy pursued by the whigs for the last two years, since they have been in power, were submitted to the | people for their approve! or condemnation, as to them might seem best, in the regular way, through the ballot-box. That policy and its results were well known, for they were placed before the voters at length, end expounded to them, by the press. ‘The succes of the same party shows, in the most conclusive marner, that, however much the con- duct of the whig party, in the edministration of the municipal «fairs of the city, for the last iwo years, mizy have been condemned by the opposition, or however much their waste and extravagance may have been rebuked by the independent press, qheir waste and extravagance have been approved of by the people, end all further complaint and op- position chould immediately cease. We are per. fectly willing to abide by the result. We, and the public generally, now know what io expect Calling out the militay to shoot down rioters in the public streets has been justified—the waste and extrava- gance of the last two years have been justified— the filihy condition of the streets, for the same time, has been justified and approved—the increase in taxes, to the extraordinary sum of more than | three milhons, has been justified—in fact, the whole course and policy of the whig party in pow- er, in this city, for the last two years, have been, in the fullest manner, endorsed and approved by at the receat election. Well, so be at. fied to abide by the decision. Sicce the election has resulted in this way, we trust that the whig party will proceed to carry out the vatious expensive improvements that have been agitated more or less for a few years past in this metropolis. No matter about the expense. ‘The most impertant of there is th tension of the Russ pavement. The Bowery, Chatham street, Broadway, Hudson street, and ail other great thoroughfares, should be paved according to that niethod, with all due expedition, for its intrinsic excellesce has been fully tested. The project of | elarging the Battery, which at one time was con- sidered so md:eulous and puerile, muet be carried | out at once—even if the expense amount to three millions, instead of one or two, or even to four. That must be done, because it will be in accor- with the deetsion of the people at the receat ion, which approved of all the previous waste J extravagance of the public moneys committed during the last two years. We must construct, too, granite docks, to the distance of a quarter of a mile into the Hudson ti for the accommo- dation of our shipping, insteed of the present un- | sightly and inconvenient wooden affairs, which are disgreceful to a city ke this, which has just pronounced, in the most olemn manner, that its citizens care not a fig how much they may be taxed. these of Liverpool or London, shall have been commenced, we hope the sewers will be extended to the exterior wall, co that the filth which ace mulates in the city may be discharged into the current and carried away, instead of being emptied into the docke, as it now is, where it decomposes, poisonin@ the atmorplere around, to the detriment of the public health. We must also erect, or buy up, city gos works, so thet we may have the city well lighted, ond save the shave which the gas com- pany, now in existence, inflicts upon the tax payers, and expend it in other improvement of the metropolis of the Western World. worthy T for, end which we must have by all means. It 18 a workhouse, ia which vagrants and criminals may be compelled to pay back to the city part of the ex- pence wlach their trial and support cost. There is no rearon why those persons who produce nothing pported in clover at the expense of communiy. All these improvements, and more, which we cannot at present think be undertaken at once, and prosecuted ion without delay, even if the taxes should be swelled to four millions a year, and the debt of the city reach to twenty millions. The people have willed st, and it is the duty of the persons elected to obey the wishes of their constituents Hang the expense—who's afraid? Wehope, therefore, that no time w Jost in carrying 1 out. Let proposals be issued as soon as portible for their construction. And we may possibly obtain these reforms whieh the voters of this city have thus determined they will have, under the new erty charter, whieh will go into operation on the firet dey of January next. Under that instrument the executive and legislative brenches of the municipal government will be placed in separate and distinct hands. Each is in- dependent of the other. The members of the Common Council will be the legisiators, and all executive business will be performed by the Mayor, and the heads of the several departments, now elected, who will be personally and res peciively responsible for the faithful discharge of their duties. The Common Couneil proceed- ings will, we expect, when the new constitu- tion goes into effect, be transacted im the day- time, instead of at night, as heretotore—the tea room will be abolished—we shall not have to pay two thousand five hundred dollars a year for se- gars alone, for the members, and we do not know how much more for brandy and canvass back ducks—the iniquities connected with ta contracts will be removed. reforms may be gained under the new charter, We hope, too, the police system will be modified 80 as to make the police respectively accountable to one head, metead of tothe several Aldermen, as isthe enge at preegnt. This reform must be made, for the security of life and property is dependent wpon it, On the whole, we expect mach good from the new charter, whatever sort of men may have been elected viog of Gen, Taylor the Washington Organs.

It is somewhat re- Republic nor the scan. mag. of the Union, present | markable, however, that as the excitement for an- the adminvstretion in its true light to the country. | nexation increases in strength and influence there, The oae cannot discriminate in its flattery, nor | it seems to diminish in the United States, and to the other in its abuse. The Union rehashes to-day the remnants of yes- terday’s feast, and the dish is always proscription. But what right has it io complain? The policy of the democracy, when in power, has been the same: to turn out their enemies and put in their friends. Placing no reliance in the pledges of Gen. Tay- lor, it is simply hypocritical in the Union and its satellires to sey that they are betrayed. No such thing. They resisted and villified Gen Taylor’s election, and have no claims upon his charity. Bot the mdeperdent press ard the independent supporters of Gen. Taylor, of all parties, who took him at his word, and clected him, in the belief thay he would put an end io the abomineble system of dividing out the spoils to mere party loafers, have che right to complain that his ceb'uet have been faithless to his pledges. This is exactly our posi- tion. We stick to the Allicon letters and the In- augaral ; but we reprobate the doings of the cabi- net. They have betrayed Gen, Taylor, and ought to be reformed—that’s all. «But Gen, Taylor, under the constitution. is per- sonally responsib'e for his cabinet, and all they may do.” How so? To follow up this doctrine, he is personally responsible for every petty peculation | of every petty postmaster. The docirme is absurd. | | Neminally, the President is responsible for every thing ; but personally, he cannot be held to account for e'l the blunde’s of his cabinet, any more than | for a thief in the Custom Hovse. The people look | io the President for the directon of the general | | policy of the goveroment. He defines his policy— he appoints bis ministers to curry it out. If they are faithless, he may displace them, or enforce a re‘orm, Dut as yet, Gea. Teylor has had no op- | | portunity of setting forth the details of his domestic and foreiga policy. Hs first occasion will be on the meeting of Congress; and we confidently ex- | pect that bis message will be entirely consistent | wich his letiers and ‘naugural address. We also | expect, that as the rascalities of his subordinates | | ere disc'osed, in the appoitments submitted to the Seneie somethmg else will be done. In | And when those granite docks, rivalling | cis another improvement which is called | Indeed, a great many | a ‘ew days, we cha!l underteke, perhaps, from a | sort of semi-official correspondence which has |-fallen mto our hands, to throw some further light | upon these points. It is eroush for the present, to show the incoasistercy of the groans and tears, and chop logic, of the Union. The Repudiic is just as bad, on the other ex- trere. lt is the other ead of the see-saw; and as one goes up the other goes down. In atvempting to defend tie p.overipiioas of the cubinei. it pleads the gexeral excuse of defaleation. Two or three defaulters, however, will hardly justify the expul- sion of weaty-thousand office-holders; such a | policy can be deteraed upon no such excuses ; and all ihe eulogies expended upon the cabinet are a waste of time. The managemeat of our foreign policy, by Mr. Clayton, is just as de- | fenceless. The application of an old musty law of the Jast century, against the United States | wer steares, wes s'mply discreiienary ; and the | use made of it by the Secretary of State was hos- tile to republican principles, and a concession to | despotig power. The same distrust of modern | ideas 18 to be found m the Cuba business, and in | eveiy thing oliempted by Mr. Clayton in European | | affeirs. The ects of the cabmet and the policy of | ' Gen. Taylor do not agree. Either the one or the other must be abardoned. The ecsavlis of the Union ond the blarney of the Pepublic, are, therefore, equally inconsistent— | the ove in holding Gen. Taylor responsible for the treachery of his cabinet, and the otherin eulegising | the cabinet as true to the policy of Gen. Taylor. | We disclaim the cabimet—we stick to the mavgu- | ru! eddress—we have confidence yet that the ster | ling honesty and goed sense of Gea. Taylor will | eccure to the people a firm, independent, and bril- liant administration. Avstnian Barnarivigs—Tur Bioopy Haynav. | —Ovr foreign exchanges and correspoadence, | which we received by the steamship Libernia, are | filled with accounts of the atrocious, inhuman and senguinary butcheries inflicted by Austria oa the unfortunate Hungarian officers and nobles, who, by the fortune of war, and not from the badaess of the cause, which they flew to arms to maintain, have fallen within the meshes of that tyrannical, | despotic and cowardly power, | The heart sickens and swells with rage—the lead becomes dizzy, at the recital ot the appalling | and atreciovs manner in Which the bloody Haynau —fit instrument for such murderous business—re- velv, as it were, in the blood of his victims, and orders widows, mothers, and daughters, whose | sex is epared even by savages, to the whipping: | post, to be siripped, scourged and flogyed, in defi- ence even of common decency, by a brutal, de- based and roffienly soldiery. Thus it is that Aus- tria—defeated and prostrated in honorable battle— treats her capiives, when overcome by subsidiary arms, and pieced within the walls of her dungeons. | | There is but one opinion expressed of those bar- berities in the English and continental press, and there should be but one throughout the world. They are denounced as they ought to be, in fitting terme, and their anthors, as well as the base and instiument, Hayaau, throogh whom they | xecuted—the butcher-in-chief to despotism— are branded by all the old world, as cut-throats, as | bemg below the dignity of our spectes—as monsters | in the form of men. The same jndgment will be | pronounced in the new hemisphere. From one | end of the Western continent to the other, from Cape Horn to the frozen ocean of the North, there will be a universal burst of wdignation. Austria, to perpetuate her intamy, to hand down to pos- terity the atrocity of her barbarisra im the nine- teenth century, should alter her national escutcheon by adding bloody atzipes across her black eagle— eppropriate emblem for such a nation. If punichment follows crime, surely retribution be liberally dealt out to Ausiria for those enor- mitiee, cooner or later. And there is every likeli- | hood of it before long. Those murders, in the natural course of events, will produce a reactionary | feeling throvghout the whole ot Germany, that will yet set thet part of the old continent in a blaze. The epirit of liberty there, though overcome, is not crushed or annihileted, and wi'l yet rise, Phanix like, from its ashes, and egain be in the ascendan- cy. When that time com when the masses of the people shell egain be in power—they will re- verge those inbumanities; they will put the poi- soned chalice to the lips of their perseeutora, and meke them drink its contents to the dregs. Let thore butcheries be continued, and the red blood of thore who commit them, and of thousands of the class to whom they belong, will avenge them. Onty Tne Prackastennes of THe BE Tow.

Trial for Assault and Battery, with Intent to Kill.— Jobn Kendall was placed on trial, charged with com- mitting an assault upon Sinclair Cline, with intent to take his lite. ‘The asrauit was alleged to have been committed on the night of the 30th of April last, at the boarding house of Cline, in Greenwich avenu Ita peared, rom the evidence of the complainant, that the Prisover came to his room ina few minutes after he (complainant) had entered it, preparatory to going to bed; Kendall asked fora light; Mr Cline teld him he but one light, and he wanted that, as he had not yet put away his clotbes; he finaily consented to lend the light to the prisoner, who went dowa stairs with it; Cline f Hows fterwards to recover the light, when the prisoner menaced him with a drawn kni: as he came forward with the knife raiced, Cline ed a small piece of wood, about uine inches long, with which he enudeavered to strike the knife out of the prisoner's band; instead, however, of hitting the knife, he siruck the lau p, and put it out; the prisoner then struck at compleinant, aud drove the knife into the pit of his stomach; Cline also got several other wounds ia his side ard’on his hands; he got a physician to dress his wounds, but he was not confined to the house Wit- ness seid :—I bad no previous quarrel with Mr. Kendall, Joun F.

A seufile then ensued between them, and Cline afterwards said he had been stabbed. ‘The defence did nct deem it necessary to open their cage, but merely cross-examined the wituess for the provecution, From the cross-examinations, evidence was brought out whieh went toshow that no good feel- ing eaisted between the defendant and the complain- ant. as Kendall entertained the idea that Cline was too familiar with his wife. Butit appeared that the com- plainant struck the firet blow. ‘Lhe Recorder charged the jury, calling to their minds the fact that the evi- dence of the prosecution went to prove that Cline struck the first blow.

Operations in the steck market{to-day, were about to the usual extent, but prices wore by no means firm. There is an anxiety on the part of holders to realize, but they are afraid to force shares upon the market, knowing the effect of any quantity pressiog for tale would be to depreciate prices. The leading railroad fancies are held in large lots, and but for the demand from the street, the market would be very poorly «us tained. The boars have rold so much stook lately, that when they come forward as purchasers prices rally @ little, and the bulls got highly excited, believing exch time that the turning point has been reached.

The woverents in cotton, in this country, have great interest at this time, and will, for the rest of the season, be Mgbly interesting to the trade, epeculators and planters, Up to the Jatest dates, the receipts and exports at the different ports of the United States, compared with last year, have been limited; but we think that givesa very vague and incorrect idea of the prebable extent of the crop :— Movessents or Corron ix tHe Unite States, #.

In regard to the supply of cotton in Liverpool, and the position of spinners in England, it must be borne in mind that the trade have purchased very largely lately, and thatthe stock in the bands of the manufacturers ‘was larger than usual—equal, it is eetimated, to about four weeks’ consumption. This euables them to with- draw from the market whenever they please, for several weeks, if necessary. When advices from this side reach Liverpool, giving estimates from the most reliable sources, of & crop of 2,100,000 bales and upwards, the effect must be most disastrous to speculators who hay purchased at the highest point of the advance. It is the impression in this market thet the next steamer will bring a decline, and holders are auxious to realize. ‘The annexed statement exhibits the quantity of cer- tain articles exported from this port for the week end- | ing the Gth inst., distinguishing the destination and extent of shipments to each plac : Commence or tur Port or New Youx—Wi To London. 1,474 bbls. flour ; 189 rotin; 5.000 buch. wheat; 200 tes. beef; 6.878 Ibs lard; 102,228 do, cheese; 206444 do. ofl cake; 7 casas oil peppermint; 12 600 staves, To Liverpool —740 bbis flour; 160 do. apples; 46,372 bh. corn; 150 tes. rice; 10 tons American iron; 25,170 . lard; 885,300 do. cheese; 1.200 do. beeswax; 6074 whalebone, To Delund,—1,544 bush corn; 2,000 staves; 900 bbls. rosin.
