Our readers will find, in another eolumn, a tele- gtaphie dispateh from Detroit, informing us of the dreadful state of things which exist in that city, growing out of the arrest of a fugitive slave, fer the operations of the Fugitive Slave law, receatly enacted by Congress. It appears, frem the infor- mation which we have received, that the greatest exeitement prevails there,—that the military are on eonstant duty,— that the two races are armed,— that blood has already been sp —and we would not be at all surprised to hear of a war of extermination breaking out between the races, whieh will not be confined to the West, but which will spread throughout the whole of the free Sia'es. Adter an agitation of twenty years, the slavery question has reached a crisis—the ouly grisie that could follow-—and the scenes which the abelition fanatics labored to produce in the South, between the black and whi'e races there, are now im dapger of being enacted in the free States. We shali look for later intelligence from Detroit with agreat deal of interest In almost all of the free States the colored popu- lation and the e@bolition favetics have held meet- ings, at which they resolved to oppose the re- eapiure of fugitive slaves under the bill recently pasted by Congress, at the risk of their lives, and te repel foree by force. We may, therefore, look for a collision between the two races, the end of whieh no one can predict. All we can say is, thet the constitution, and the Fugitive Slave bill passed in pursaance of it, will both be upheld to the letter, and faithfully carried @ut, ‘by all true friends of the constitution and Union. If a collision should be the result, there will be a reaction in the public mind in favor of both, that will not stop short of a war of extermi- nation against the blacks and the piebald abo, litionists, that will not leave one of them in the North. But for the exertions of those disorgan- qzers, there would have been no necessity for Congress to pass that measure; but that necessity having urisen, and that bill having passed, its pro- vieions will be carried out, wherever occasion re- quires it, by all good citizens—no matter what the e@onsequences may be. fa collision should occur, the iategrity of the Union will be the prineiple in- volved in it; and it is easy to see what the ultimate result will be. It would be a sad and deplorable matter to see one portion of our population ar- rayed against another, with arms in their hands; but, if it be forced upon us, there will be no alter- mative but to prosecute it to the end, and thus prove that the public will not tolerate the infrac- tien of the compact entered into between the States, at the formation of this confederacy, and without which we would, io all probability, have been one of the weakest and most contemptible nations ia the civilized world. It is to the con- stitution that we owe all our strength and great- nese; without it we would be despised, instead of feared and respected, 2s we are, by the rest of the world. He who assaiis it assails the prosperity of every man in the community, and aims a blow at the principle of self-government throughout the world; for it is useless to think that this republic ean exist progperously i apy other form but a eor- federacy suoh as it is. There is no telling, therefore, when civil war may break out—when the well disposed will be ealled upon to shoulder their muskets, aad assist the civil wutborities in enforcing the law, or when they may be obliged to fire upon the disorganizers, whether white or black. We therefore warn the fanatics to be careful. They may reset assured, that if they foree the issue upon the couatry, the conse quences to them and <o the colored race will be ternble and overwhelmiog. A word in reference to the national adminisira- tion, in connection with thie matter. We cannot help seying, that da our opiaica, Mr. Fillmore and hie administration have not, recently, acted as firmly and decidedly a» they might have done in referener to this slavery question. When the eoia- promise “ills were before Congress, they acted properly aad patriotically ; but emace the adjourn- ment, they have not acte they ought to have done. They should heve taken « fiem and decided etand against the aloltion fanatce, ia every shape, and especially against the bead and front of them— the demagague William H. Seward. lastead of ont g im office the numerous appointments whiok were made in this State, by the late corrupt eabiost, (the Galphins,) at the instigation of Seward, and whe re hie props and supports here, | be Should haves romptly werned them ort, withoct an.exception, and have thes weakened, # not ex rely destroyed, bis influence in the State of New Yook.

Mo little o 1 ¢aem aetion will be equwite to get atthe irath, bet # bop: to eH be mation, and get the real wheat o jot @> eree of « doy or two Meanwhile, we will Looxine Ur.—We learn that a very important and interesting mission has been projected and insti- tuted, under distinguished and proper authority, and that one of the editors of this metropolis has been selected to carry out its manifold desigas, for the good of the eountry and the civilized world in general. Editors are undoubtedly looking up, generally, though some may be looking down, and others half a dozen ways at one and the same time. A few days age, one of our respected eotempo- raries of the prees, James Watson Webb, returned from his highly successful mission to the European eontinent, having accomplished the great purposes for which he took leave of his country and her go- vernment. He has come back, crowned with the loftiest diplomatic éclat, having negotiated all those tremendous treaties and conventions with Austria, and opened all those commercial! relations with the great cities of that empire, which will be monu- ments of his zeal and talent in all coming time. He has exchanged credentials throughout the great diplomatic States of Europe, and has re- turned, invigorated with his journey, to undertake even mor: difficult enterprises, or any piece of publie labor, ata similar rate of remuneration— $4,500 outfit, $4,500 infit, and $4,500 salary. Yet while our cotemporary, James Watson Webb, bas returned, thus proud of his diplomatic wreath crowning his merits, another mission is about to be undertaken by another editor of this city. We allude to our intimate friend and asso- ciate for this life and the life to come—James Gordon Bennett—who ie to go forth on a very im- portant and popular mission, either to one side of the world orto the other—either to the ancient shores ot France and Europe, or to the golden strand of California and the Pacific—we don’t know which. His destinetion, at present, is not exactly certain; yet it is a certain destination, so far as the results of a great popular mission are con- cerned—one that will tell here and hereafter—for the present and for all future time. It is quite evi- dent that he is preparing to sail in one of the great steamers from this port for the European continent, or that he will go out with his family, by the way of Havana, to California and India, where he can open those numerous communications and rela- tions so important to the progress of the buman race, as the tide of being flows on towards civili- zatio . In this respect, the mission will be one of great interest. ‘This appointment will be conferred, not by the President and the Cabinet, but by the people ay large—the only government and cabinet respected by great patriots. He will escape, therefore, the votes of a Senate, and the ordeal which every friend to Seward and his clique, in that body, has to undergo. He will not tvust his fortunes to the sliding seale of political expediency. His outfit consists of ten thousand dollars in hard cash, and ten thousand doliars additional ‘scrip for his journey,” for those contingencies which are of sudden growth in these times of transition and traffic. The whele of this money will be drawn from the people of the United States, and from every distinguished potentate, merchant, and banker, in the habitable pertions of the globe, for which they receive value in exchange in New York Heralds—price two cents per copy. If the mission should be to Europe, including Turkey, Palestine, and Egypt, our life-time ally and best friend, James Gordon Bennett, will gtve a full and impartial account of the transition state in that part of the world, now so interesting, from the va- rious changes which are taking place there, while Mrs. B. will trace the progress and condition of fe- male education, of society, and social intercourse, and of other similar matters, which have taken new suapes since the revolution of 1848. Should the mission be to California, and the new cities of the Pacific, many novel subjects will be presented for the amusement and instruction of mamkind, and the results of the intellectual diggings of Commis- sioner Bennett, on this national errand, will be more important and valuable than the dust gathered by thoee who have left their own dust on the banks of the Secramento. Thus, we editors go, up, up, up, to-day, and down, down, down, to-morrow. As James Watson Webb retures to his country, James Gordon Bennett goes ont—the ome standing in the government side of the scales, the latter in that of the popular will. The world will be balanced by the results. Twx Mayoranty.—Fernando Wood is the first candidate for Mayor, put upon the field in the regular way, by the democratic convention of the metropolis. We have already stated our opinion of the worth, public serviees, and value of Mr. Wood; but we must see what the other conven- tions, meetings, and the public, will do, before we can make up our estimate as to the truly popular nomination. To-night there will be a great de monstration in favor of the distinguished Chiey Engineer of the Fire Department, Mr. Carson. He is for revolution and reform in the administration of the city’s affairs, the corruptions in which he has ably and successfully exposed. Honest mea will support bim for Mayor against all odds, and give hima triumph of the right kind, for his efforts at reform, which, Heaven knows, is much needed about these da We see that Mr. Carson de- clines the nomination; but if the people insist upoc beving him for Mayor, he must submit. But before good citizens make up their minds, they will eee what the publie enthusiasm will be at the meeting to-zight, and decide whether or not they will place at the head of the Cerporation a streight forward, honest mechanie, zealous to do justice to bw Jellow-citizens, and to work out useful reforme. We must wait and see Tre Case cr Dr. Weegee anv Tus Commre- sioxeee or Emionation.—A few days ago we stated that Dr. Weber, one of the resident physi- cians at Ward's Island, was put oa his trial by the Commissioners of Emigration, at the instigation of the visiting physicians.

The question before the court was in reference to the disposition of his property, and the decision to be made con- cerning it, either ia favor of or against the claim set up by the late wife of Mr. Warmer, who was so badly used by him in both this 6ountry and Eu- rope. We also annex, as illustrative of the same remarkable character, a biographical sketch of the same Warner, written by Marcus Tullias Cicero Stanly, during a period when he was confined in the Tombs on some criminal charge, which has not yet been dfsposed of by the present District At- torney, in the Court of Sessions. Stanly, it will be recollected, isan attaché of Wilkes, of the Po- tice Gazette, and an associate of the stool-pigeons of New York. Here we have, in the report of this law case, and in the sketch of the life of Warner, a very rmarka- ble and singular illustration of the professional and private character ot Thomas Warner, during his eareer in this city for the last few years, as that of a Tombs lawyer, or stool-pigeon counsel. The history of Warner in his professional capacity, as a lawyer at the Tombs, to say nothing of his private character, as revealed by the recent tnals and evi- dence, presents a more unmitigated succession of great and small villanies, than were ever before ex- hibited in legal practic or criminal jurisprudence in this or apy other city of the United States. He was the founder {and author of the system of manufactur ing evidence to implicate innocent men, in order to procure money, or for other purpoees, and, also, of making evidence for the purpose of getting off rogues who had money to buy themselves from before the courts of justice. The developements which have been made ef the talents and qualifica- tione of Werner, in that point of view, have Leen ample and startling during the last two years, as they appeared on the trials of Arlington Bennet and old Drury, and also in the columns of his prin- cipal Tombs, or stool-pigeon organ, conducted by George Wilkes, and called the National Police Gazette. Most true was the assertion or statement made, on oath, by Ambrose L. Jordan, Esq., late At- torney-General of this State, on a recent trial in Poughkeepsie, that it was difficult to procure a fair trial in the city of New York, unless the public mind and the public interest were areused by some great overt act of villainy, and made itself felt in watching any particular case, and seeing that justice, and strict justice, were done before our courts of law. We all remember the persecutions 10 which James Arlington Bennet has been sab- jeeted, and the various charges that were manu- gectured against him through the instrumentality of stool-pigeons and rogues of the deepest dye. We remember it, because the publie voice, at the time of the trial, pronounced upon them with deci- sion end emphi Warner, with his associates, One-Eyed Thompson and Wilkes, were the chief instruments and propagators of the recent system of criminal practices and criminal mavers, which have given so much discreditable celebrity to the doings of our criminal courts, during the last two years. The purity and integrity of the administra- tion of criminal justice, which characterized our New York courts some years ago, have been im- paired by such lawyers asthe runaway Warner, and euch agente, and such editors, and such jour- nals, as he employed. Even at this moment there are indictments, founded on evidence purely manu- factured for the purpose, hanging over both Arlimg- ton Bennet gnd Old Drury, which, when brought on and investigated by a highminded court and an intelligent jury, will result im the same way as others which were got up according*to the same system. The Warner school of eriminal practice, has risen to ite hest point of developement, and brought a number of young, flighty lawyers inte its meshes. Among those who have thus fallen into bad company in the practice of the law, and from the high morality of the profession, we are sorry to say that John Graham is one—the son of the late exeellent David Graham. John Graham has been}nominated as District Attoraey, by an outside, stool-pigeon influence, that is anything | ‘The Civil and Criminal Courts, ‘THE CALENDARS—THE BUSINESS ON HAND, ETO. ‘The civil and criminal courte are likely to have © busy time of it during the present and the two follow- ing terms. The eslemdarsin both are unusually hea- vy. Amongst the causes set down for trial are the fol- jowing:—The cause of the People vs. Samuel Drury, Jr., indieted (with his father, who was tried and se- quitted last term.) for semdimg a torpedo box to the house otf Thomas Warner, with intent te destroy War- ner and his family, is likely te be tried next term in the Court of Oyer and Terminer. In the eause of Forrest vs. Forrest, a suit instituted by Mrs. Forrest against her husband, for s divorce, a writ of ne exeat was granted by one of the Supreme Court judges, during the vacation, restraining Mr. Forrest trom leaving this State to prosecute a similar suit brought by him sgainst his wife in the State of Pennsylvanis, under which he was held to bail in $10,000. A motion was subsequently made to the spe- ola) term of the Supreme Court, to set aside the writ, and discharge Mr. Forrest, upon which an order te that effect was made, upon condition that he would bring no action fer false imprisonment against any of the parties connected with suing it; from that or- der he has appealed, on the ground of the whole pro- evedings being illegal and unconstitutional. The ease fe on the motion eslendar of the general term, and will be argued this week. ‘The cause of Willis vs. Forrest, which is an action to recover damages for asrault and battery, brought by Mr. N. P. Willis, against Mr. Bdwin Forrest—the parti- eulars of which our readers are already acquainted with—is on the Superior Court ealendar, and may be reached this term. ‘The ease of George Niles and Mrs. O'Sullivan, in- dicted for a conspiracy to extort money, and the case of James T. Boyd and Mrs. Star, sliss Livingston, charged with similar offence, will be taken up by the Court of General Sessions, during the present or next term. The cause of the People ve. Madam Costello and Mason is again revived, and brought before the Bupeme Court. The history of the ease is shortly this. Madam Costello and s man named Mason, were in- Aicted, about four years ago, for administering drugs toe female, for the purpose of producing abortion. ‘They were tried in the Court of Sessions, convicted, and Madam waa sentenced to six months imprison- ment on Blaekwell’s Island, which she served out, and to pay a fine of $250. which was also paid. Mason was, if we reeollect right, only sentenced to pay a tine of $: and paid it. It seems they were indicted under on our statutes, for producing abortion on @ woman quiek with child; but it turned out, by the proot adduced on the trial, that she had not quickened, and the counsel for the prisoners contended the was bad, and that they ought to be acquited—the Recorder held otherwise; an exception was taken to the ruling of the Court, and a writ of error brought, and they now come in seeking to reverse the judg- ment, and to be paid back the fines. In addition to these cases, another very important eause was taken up last week in the second branch of the Superiof Court, in which Samuel @. Ogden, admi- nistrator, &e., is plaintiff, and William B. Astor and the exeeutors of John Jacob Astor are This suit wae instituted in the equity side of the Su- preme Court, by Samuel G. Ogden, as administrator of his brother, the late Nicholas G. Ogden, against the eutors, and the cause placed on the transferred cal dar of the Superior Court. The facts and circum- stances connected with this cause are as follows :~ On the 2d day of October, 1816, Nicholas G. Ogden entered into copartnership with the late John J. Astor, for the establirhment and carrying on of sa extensive trade with Canton, in Chins, upon the terms and conditions in a certain letter of agreement, bearing date ou that day, signed ‘by Mr. Astor, and afterwards assented to by Mr. Ogden. In pursuance of this letter, the co. partnership went into effect, and continued until 1818, when Wm. B, Astor was admitted » partner by his fe- ther, of which faet Mr. Ogden was notified, and to whieh he assented; after which the ecopartnership eon- tinued until the death of Mr. Ogden, whieh happened in 1823, The plaintiff, by his bill, eharges the late and present Mr. Astor with « violation of the agreement, in various particulars; and first, in regard to their neglect to remder annual aceounts of the transsctions and profits of the joint trade, (the transections of which amounted te more than twelve millions of dollars.) except some loose, incorrect statements, embracing seven early voyages, which oply arrived in Canton three weeks previous to Mr. Ogden’s death, and were subsequently taken back by Messrs. Astor. He further charges that no account was furnished by them until 1826, when they rendered to Miss Mary G. Ogden, the sister and former administratrix of deceased. several incorrect sceounts or state- ments, unsupported by vouchers, by whieh they brought the late Mr. Ogden into their debt in upwards of $9,000. The bill them goes on, and alleges that the letters of administration granted to Mise Ogden were set aside, and new letters of edministra- but moral, orderly, or praiseworthy in the commu- nity. He has been too intimate and teo much | associated with the Warner, Wilkes, and One- eyed Tompson coterie, and the business of the | tombs; aad his aseociations tend to throw the deepest suspicions over the whole nomination, and Tender him, even if he had tallests for the post, (whieh he has not,) tetally unfit to occupy such a responsible positien, in such a city as New York, as that of District Attoraey. We shall show these views and these points more at large on another day. Our objections to John Graham are profes sional and legal. His private character and private reputation we shall nottouch. He is totally unfit for the offige, and only received the nomiaation by outside, stool-pigeon, disreputable influence of the worst kind.

It was intimated that Mr. Belwer’s friends in London would take three- fourths of the eapital stock, in which, we preeume, be is naturally interested; but the discussione of mation from London has arrived in thie city, | | parpoee of carrying out the projeet. The treaty | | | tion granted to the plaintiff, amd makes a variety of Gllegations and charges; and, amongst others, that, in making an investigation of the scoounts or state: | mente furnished to the former administratrix, he (Mr. |. G. Ogden) discovered that, im 1626, there remained | unsold and unrepresented, goods and merchandise be- longing to the partnership concern ameanting to $16,574, all of which have been simce sold, and the pro- | eeeds received by them; and that there were also out- standing debts, amounting to upwarde of $40,000, all of which were represented as bed, but of h they | never rendered amy further or other scsou and | that, by reason of the numerous imperfections and | conseaiments in the sccounts, and the neglect and | refusal of the Messrs. Astor to furnish « general so- | count, with the urusl details and specifications, he was unable to ret forth more faily the errors, &e., and | the losses sustained by the estate of the deceased. ‘The bill then prays for a discovery ot all the part- | nership property, aud for an scooant of sales and re | eeipts. ke. ‘The detendante anrwered the bill, end by their an- ewer denied all the allegations of treud; they sito insist on the correctness of the scoounts, and rely on the acquiescence of the former administratrix, fore number of years, therein, and om the statate of limite- tions against opening them up.

The immediate and rapid rise in steck market. A mun can make or mar short space of time, in Wali street; and with which stock speculators are ruined er rated, seems to attract individuals who toush anything leading te a more eortain, but speedy, acquisition of wealth. Fancy stoeks are fore favorites with « large class of speoulaters, Jong as facilities can be easily obtained for them, plemty of purchasers will be found. Such is effect of the exeite it produced by s rising market, that parties who would not touch « stoek at forty and fifty per cent, eagerly catoh at it at sixty and seventy pereent. The greater the advance, the move active the market, as will be seem by the daily reports of transactions.

The leading fancy stocks at this moment are Fars mers’ Loan and Morris Canal. The former has beew earried up solely by the efforts of andi” they were wise they would drop it where i¢ is. The same power that bas inflated it thus far, may earry ity up further; but prudent operators will, without doubt. realise their profits, and let those who wish earry the stock. Morris Canal has advanced within the past two or three weeks, three per cent ; but the rise has hard< ed. Before the lapse of many weeks, the |, without doubt, be in demand at prices ranging from ten to fifteen per cent above those now current.

Erie Railroad stock hae not varied much in market vali ad although cons siderable stock has recently changed hands, there is not that buoyancy im prices one would expect from the general tone of the market. Reading Railroad will without doubt, reach a much higher price than that now ruling.
