On reference to our despatches from Washington, i will be seen that the difficulty concerning the New York appointments has been settled, and the interrogatory of “Who is to be Collector?” has been answered by the nomination of Mr. Augustas Schell. Bo the long agony is over—the hards have triumph- ed—Marcy stock is down—and all parties can breathe freely again. The question as to “ Who is Presi- @ent?” has been answered, by this selection, in a manner that cannot b¢ misunderstood. But, let it not be supposed that the soft shells are to be entirely shut out. No, no; our regular correspondent states that Mr. Lorenzo B. Shepard is to have the Attorney Generalship for the Southern distriet. This may have the effect of softening down the feelings of that section of the party, and cause all the machinery to work smoothly, and without any more screaking. We ahall see. One curious circumstance connected with the ap- poiniments for San Francisco, is the announcement that only one of the gentlemen named is a citizen of that place. This is another warning to the numer- ous applicants for office in certain localities, notjto exhibit too much bitterness of feeling against each other, else they run the risk of seeing third parties earry off the prizes for which they are contending. The resolution authorizing the Committee on In- @ian Affairs to delegate one of their number to inves- tigate the charges of alleged frauds against Colonel Ramsey, of Minnesota, while in the discharge of his @uties as Indian Agent, was again the subject of + discussion in the United States Senate yesterday. Several gentlemen expressed their disapprobation of ‘the system of permitting committees to sit during the recess of Congress; after which the resolution was tabied, and the committee discharged from the farther consideration of the matter. An executive seesion followed, in which some rather novel and enrious speeches are reported to have been indulged in. A few of tho new membersare said te be anxious for a relief from the bans of secresy with respeot to appointments. See the despatches. Mr. McMurray made a lengthy speech in the State Benate yesterday, in opposition to Mr. Vanderbilt's proposed amendment to the constitution for the pur- pose of providing means for the completion of the State works. As the final disposition of this propo- sition is of vital interest to the inhabitants of this fate, and in order that our readers may fully un- derstand both sides of the question, we have deemed it proper to give Mr. McM.’s speech in full. He goes over the whole ground—examines the subject from the time of throwing up the first shovelfal of earth for the canals, and alludes to the position of Messre. ©ooley, Vanderbilt, and their friends, in terms the ‘very reverse of complimentary. Read the speech, and then await the reply of Mr. Cooley. The Ascem- bly was principally occupied in receiving reports from committees, some of which are of interest to eur citizens. Owing to the absence of a juror, whose brother had died, nothing was done with regard to the Gardner case yesterday. A despatch from Philadelphia announces that an application has been made for a new trial in the case of Arthur Spring, convicted a few dayz ago of the mourder of Mrs. Lynch and her sister. It ap- pears that one of the jurymen, Mr. Barnard Carr, performed his duties by proxy—that is, he hired man named Charles MeQuillan to act as his substi- Sate on the jury bench. Whether this novel way of @oing business will be sanctioned is to be ascertain- ‘ed to-morrow, when the ease is to undergo an in- vestigation. The brig Palm, from Matanzas for Portland, was recently met in a sinking condition, and those on { board taken off by the brig Paulina, which arrived at Holmes’ Hole last Friday. Jack Stevens, the bank robber, who, sometime | ago, made his escape from the Portsmouth jail, was recaptured in Philadelphia last Friday evening. | He made a desperate resistance, and fired a pistol | at onc of the officers, the bal! of whieh entered the hand of the latter. The report of the City Inspector shows that three Dundred and eighty-seven persons died in New York @ering the week ending last night. Classified ac- cording to sex, we find that the total was made up of one hundred and six men, seventy-seven women, one bondred and eighteen boys, and eighty-six girls. This is an increase of sixteen deaths, compared with the number returned for seven days up to the nine- teenth instant. The diseases were of the ordinary class, aggravated, in some instanees, by the neglected sanitary condition of the city, with the irritating dust and variable weather which we have latterly experi- enced and saffered from. Of the adults, fifty-eight died from consumption, two from congestion of the Jungs, and five from congostion ofthe brain. Thirty- eight died from the different fevers, of whom ten were carried off by that known as the scarlet variety. Inflammatory disorders proved fatal to seventy-two persons, attacking the lungs in thirty-eight in- stancer. There were two suicides, four cases of @rowning, and one death from intemperance. Thir- ty-six infants died from convulsions, fourteen from eroup, ten from small pox, five from measles, and nineteen from dropsy in the head. One hundred and nine of the children were under one year, and ene hundred and ninety-seven had not reached the age of ten. Of the adulta, one hundred and thirty- eight were between the ages of twenty and fifty years, and ten exceeded seventy, but had not reach ed one hundred, only one having lived to pass the age of ninety. Two hundred and forty cight were natives of America; seventy-nize came from ire- Jand, and twenty-four from Germany. A festive reunion of the gentlemen employed in the various telegraph offices of this city took place yesterday evening at the Astor House. The occa- sion was characterized by many appropriate speeches, and the company separated before midnight, after spending a very happy evening. A report of the Proceedings will appear in tomorrow's paper. The Supreme Court, General Term, will sit for deci- sions on Monday, when it is expected that the case of the injunction against the grantees of the Broadway Railroad will be disposed of. We perceive that the Hon. Jadge Eamonds, who has been for some time past in Bouth America, for the benefit of his health, has retarced, r.n:v.ted and icoXing fall of strength and energy for the perfor:ance of his judicial duties, proaches s question of municipal or civil law unarmed with complete data in some such shape, is sure to bungle and flounder. His rhetoric may be excellent, and his language irreproachable, but mot one of his conclusions will rest on s reliable basis, The extent of the evil which a proposed law is ‘intended to reme- dy must be measured by figures—the magni- tude of the interests to be affected must be gauged by the same instrument, and the actual operation of existing laws can only be determin- ed by the application of similar test. It is well to bear these axioms in mind before we give in our adhesion to any of the propositions now mooted respecting the reform of the police system. We said, in our issue of Monday, that the total number of arrests effected by the New York po- lice during the year 1850 fell, a little short of 40,000, being about 6.6 per cent on the population of the city; and-inferred from the fact that the extent of crime in New York was twice as great as in London, where the arrests are only three percent on the total population, The inference was, in general terms, correct. It rests on a solid basis of reason, inasmuch as the fact of an arrest necessarily supposes an offence com- mitted, and has been sanctioned by the common custom of statisticians and economists, who in- variably regard the police ealendar as the best attainable evidence of the morals of a city. Butit does not possess, as a test. that rigorous accuracy which is required to enable the states- man to build with confidence a theory of legis- lation thereon. A statement of the aggregate number of arrests in a city can afford nothing more than an approximate criterion of. the ex- tent of crime prevailing within its limits. We may accept it, in lieu of a better; but if we allow such secondary evidence to go to the jury of public opinion, it is right that we should ap- prize them of its character, and warn them against too implicit a reliance on its bearing. The test we refer to is faulty in two respects. In the first place, no legislator except Draco has, we believe, viewed all the various shades of crime as equally heinous and worthy of equal punishment. We Americans, at all events, draw a wide line of distinction between the murderer of his wife and the honest Paddy who has imbibed too freely of the mountain dew on the cecasion of his cousin’s marriage. Both are, undoubtedly, offenders against the law; but there is such an interval between their re- spective offences, that we cannot safely evolve a principle from a statistical table in which they are classed together. If it were found that out of the forty thousand persons arrested last year the number of murderers and perpetrators of capital crimes barely amounted to a score, while the enormous balance was composed of gentlemen who had dined too copiously, or friends who had been caught practising the noble art of self-defence in a thoroughfare, or similar law breakers, our prospects asa city would not look quite so gloomy. We do not say that such is the case; we merely adduce the hypothesis to show the danger of clubbing together columns of statistics which. to be ot any use. ought to be considered and weighed separately. If Mr. Matsell wishes his report to be of service to the public. he will gencralize a little less, and indulge us with a few more par- ticulars. If he tells us, for instance, that so many men were arrested during such a period for murder, so many for arson, so many for rape. so many for assaults, so many for burglary. so many for robbery from the person. so many for larceny. so many for drunkenness, &c., we ehail be able to form a much more correct notion of the actual extent of crime prevailing in the city, than if he simply contents himself with inform- ing us that twenty thousand persons were col- Jared and sent to jail during six months. He must take a hint from the bills of mortality. We should not thank the Health Inspector for letting us know that two hundred persons had died during the week ; what we employ him to do is to classify the varions deaths, and thus enable us to judge of the prevalence of cholera, smallpox, or fever. Mr. Matsell will permit us to call him the moral health inspector of the city. Let him classify his patients, and devote a few more paragraphs in his report to chronicling the progress of murders, the decline of burglaries, or the abatement of epidemic as- saults. Provided he dees this, we will excuse the omission of the philosophic considerations with which his last report is garnished. Ac- cording to the modern division of employments, his task is to collect materials for reasoners, not to reason himself. Again, the aggregate number of arrests is faulty, as a criterion of crime, in another res pect, inasmuch as a large proportion of crimes are not followed by the detection of the criminal. How many burglaries, how many assaults, how many thefts from domicil or the person, have been committed with perfect impunity, during the past year! We consider ourselves safe in estimating that the perpetrators of one-half the offences of this nature escape scot-free. Various causes combine to produce this result. Any one who, having been assaulted or robbed, has gone to make his complaint at the police office will have seen enough of the nonchalance of the force to convince him that the first element of efliciency—zcal—-is by no means in excess. Something must be allowed, too, for the dexte- rity of modern thieves, and the cunning of rowdies, A very moderate dose of shrewdness will enable a thief to elude the pursuit of a po- liceman who has a dozen blocks to watch. Reagons like these will readily suggest them- selves to the mind of every reader. and will fully explain the escape of one-half the perpe- trators of crime. Hence it is obvious that the table of arrests furnishes but a rough guess as to the number of offences committed. We should not be justified in saying, on the strength of the proposition above laid down, that there are twice as many crimes as arrests. In the latter are included all the innocent persons who are deprived of their liberty on groundless sus- picion, by mistake, through malice, &. But it is clear that we cannot place implicit confi- dence in a chain of reasoning which accepts crimes and arrests as convertible terms, A very simple mode, by which this deficieney of the police calendar might be supplied, ought, one would think. to have suggested itself to the mind of the Inspector. In nine cases out of ten, persons who are assaulted or robbed go to the police office, and make a full statement of the offence committed. Why should not the Police Inepector publish fhe number of complaints, classified under the proper heads, and placed in juxtaposition with the number of arrests for the corresponding infractions of the hw? We should thus arrive at something like a reliable motion of the vxveut of crime. 1b would be a aartip ore, insta : ih 1 during the year, no more'than 160 arrests had been made for that offence; that 1,500 assaults had been attempted, and 400 ar- rests followed, &¢. A good deal of light would be thrown, both on’ the public morals and on the state of the police, by such a statement as this. Harp Swearme at Wasuweton.—The fol- lowing is a specimen of the graphic intelligence reported by telegraph from Washington to the Tribune :— ffome days since, John Tyler applied h Caleb Cushin to Boutnnata? Game Ete the ir- sgency, for Fin friend, and Campbell Tin after, Mr. Hunter gave encouragement , Mr. Hunt sppted for the same place for a friend of his. Camp- bell evaded the application. Hunter left his papers and went away. Yesterday, the friend told Mr. Hunter that there was some , and the latter called on Mr. Hobbie about it, but o! no ae ms re spans Tite Camp. T SUCCESS 5 ; Mr. Cam; bell out ; told the #B tell him as s00n 6s he (Mr. C.) came in. At that gentleman ay jc and tried to evade the subject, when Mr. unter exclaimed : ‘‘ God damn you, who commands this concern?” and then.went on to damn the ad- ministration. He said it had a reneeace ig for Attorney General, and a renegade Virginia Agent, and so left in high dudgeon. We presume that Mr. Senator Hunter is the person accused of the foregoing choice lan- guage ; but as far as we know anything of his style of conversation, he is one of the very last men of the Senate who could be guilty of such vulgarity. We think, however, it is due to the parties concerned that they should set this matter right. If they begin to curse and swear in the Post Office Department thus early in the day, we can expect nothing less than a row in the kitchen cabinet before supper time. Did Mr. Senator Hunter “damn” the Postmaster Gefieral? Did he leave: in high dudgeon?” And if so, where did he go? Our New York Co1tecrorsuir.—tThe fact is pretty well established that the hard-shells made the appointment of Augustus Schell as Collector for New York a sine qua non to a temporary treaty of peace, friendship, and alliance, with the soft-shells, and it is a fact. vouched by our telegraphic despatches, that they have succeeded. Schell is the man. It appears that all the cabinet, excepting Gover- nor Marcy, were in favor of Schell, but that the Premier was inappeasable on account of the anti-Marcy policy pursued by Schell at the Bal- timore Convention; and that he was resolved to “grind his enemies to powder.” But we see that this difficulty is solved. Some interme- diate man between Mr. Schell and the hard and soft shells, it was supposed, would be taken— Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Maclay, or some otherman. The question is out of the fog. It was an important question, and difficult to extricate from the entanglement. But the child is born, The harmony not only of the party here, but of the administration itself, was mixed up in this business. What an escape! What an excitement there will be when the news spreads through town. Hard shells, heads up! Sucretary Marcy versus Gun. Cusuic.— One of our telegraphic correspondents at Wash- ington informs us that “Marcy is playing for the Presidency,” and that ‘Cushing’s main business is to watch him, corner him, oust him, and so be premier himeelf, in name as well as in fact.” This is astounding information, and the more so because it has a very plausible look about it, in connection with some other remarks of our correspondent, to wit:—‘Caleb don’t say much about the Collectorship.” Very suspi- cious, that. But ‘-He listens to others in the cabi- net, and has a quiet private talk with Gen. Pierce afterwards.” Let the premier be on his guard. Where there isso much smoke there must be some fire. Let him turn his attention from foreign missions, consulates, Cuba, Mexico, and Central America. for half an hour or so, and study the exact latitude and longitude of Gen. Cushing and Young America. Let not the ship of State be runaground inacalm. Wreck- ers about. Mr. Burton anp Mr. Younc.—We give, in another column, a reply of Mr. Young, of the Altion, to Mr. Burton. the manager. It meets two pointe—the » Sew Saw” and the ~ Regent’s Daughter.” But what is Mr. Young’s opinion of the Albion’s criticism on “ Money?” © Fatner Gavazzt.—Is it not time that Arch- bishop Hughes had issued his warning against the heretic, Father Gavazzi? When the flock call for protection, where should the shepherd be? Let him rouse from his slumbers, and come to the rescue. Cuaramnc.—The weather yesterday. not- withstanding the dust. N.B—More Charm- ing—the delightful, refreshing shower last evening which laid the dust. Talk on ’Change, Converration referred to the character of the Asia’s news. It was regerded ina general way as of no great importance. A merchant thought that England, with other humane powers, should intereede in a friendly man- ner with Austria, in order to induce her to exercise great- er clemency towards political offenders in Italy. As #mea- sure for the preservation of peace a more humane course would be the wisert. The era being favorable to inoreas- ed and wider spread knowledge, harsh, cruel, unnatural punishment could not fail to keep alive's spirit of resist- ance. The dullness which prevailed in cotton and breadstuffs in the English markets produced, to rome extent, a cor- responding effect in this market yesterday. Cotton elosed dull with reduced sales. State brands of flour also cloned dull, at 6c. a 9c. per barrel decline Lard, owing to the favorable character of the news, was firmer, and closed with an upward tendency. Some merchants expressed their regret that the fishery question bad not been fully and finally settled before the adjournment of the late Congress. Fears were enter- tained that a repetition of the troubles witnessed last summer might occur again during the approaching sea- acn. It will be recollected that the non intercourse, if not belligerent regulation, threatened by the British leat summer, greatly interferred with our fishing business, and materially reduced the usual supply of mackerel, while the employment of vessels and sailors was toa great extent cut off. Is was stated by a merchant familiar with the fishery business, that the opposition to Americans fishing withia English water lines, did not proceed from English fisher- men, but from parties doing business along shore. Every fishing town in the English provinces contained a class of grocerymen or traders, who wish to have the exclusive right of supplying fishing craft with provisions, flour, ke., and at much higher rates than they can be pur- chased from American fishing boats, erulsing off the coast. Hence, the provincial fishermen, instead of making purchases on shore, were in the habit of standing out to American fishing versels and buying supplies from them, and free of duty, wharfage, or storage, The shore dealers, in order to break up, as far as possible, this oceanic traffic, raised an immense hueand ery against American fisher wen, declaring that B.itish fishing grounds were widely and constantly invaded, in violation of treaty stipulations. ‘An far an reeiprceity of trade with the British provinces in concerned, the feeling on ‘change is deerd-dly favors. ble to it. argument is, to let their mackerel and other fish, with other provineial free, or pretty nearly LW ep our fishermen are ai lowed free access to all Britith waters, with the free navi gation of the St. Lawrence, while our provisions, bread: stuff, groceries, &c., shall be admitted into the British fae lone duty free, or nearly 0. No fear would be felt for the success of American enterprise ia s fair and open field. _ furprise was expressed that the proposal for securing ones weed for a large elty park had not beca muse earnestly pressed upon the tivation of the Lagislatare, ince, some in hat terday morning, in Afty-eight hours, from Charleston. ‘Tus Tanaraes,—We refer our readers to the advertising columns for the particulars of the selections made by the respective theatrical managers for the amusements of Monday evening.

DETERMINED SUICIDE, UNDER EXTRAORDINARY CIR- QUMSTANCES—THE BODY NOT RECOGNIZED—DE- SCRIPTION OF THE DECEASED'S PERSON AND DRESS, fi Coroner Wilhelm held an inquest yesterday, at the Eagle Hotel, corner of Frankfort and William street upon the body of —— Lee (christian name unknown who committed suicide by taking adose of strcyhning, a little after noon. George Frederick, senior, deposed—Is bookkeeper at the hotel; the deceased came last Saturday and bees io a room for one week; I saw him every day since; this day (Saturday), about 12 o'clcek, he came in and asked for his key; peared then as usual; Mr. Castello came down Stairs about half past one o’closk, and said sinee the last conven- he thought there was some person dying in jue room next to bis; Y went up with Mr. Castello, and Richard Johns, one of our porters; deceased was lying, upon the bed, an seemed to ba ; when we got a doctor he was dead; I saw s tumbler upon the table, with some kind of white powder setrled at the bottom.

Dr. Uhl made a mortem examinatioa of the body, which presented all the appearances developed in cases of death from that deadly poivon. The jury rendered a vor- diet of suicide, by taking strychnine. The deceased was about five feet six or seven inches bigh, with light hair, full set of teeth, and had no whis. kere. He had ona light colored sack coat, brown silk est, white cotton shirt, cotton undershirt (woven), striped gray woollen pants, white cotton socks, and old boots, ad a black silk glazed cap, with a brass but- ton om exch side, one being marked with an eagle and the other No 1; a pair of id gloves, a wnite cotion pookat handkerchief with a red border, and a bottle with lauda- num, and another filled with; powdered strychnine were fourd in his pocket ; as also saven keys, two lateh keys, and the other five for trunks, He had no money or trunks with him. The body will be kept at the dead house for two days, and it is hoped that this notice will lead bis friends tc identify the unfortunate man. Fatas Resvtr or Spannisc—Caution TO YounG Men — Coroner Hilton held an inquest yesterday evening, at No. 202 Walker street, uvon the body of a young man named Rivington Duyckinck, who died there on Friday evening, under the following circumstances:—The deceased;wan about twenty-one years of age, and had been employed in the bookbinding establishment of Mr. Charles Jenkins, No 144Naseau street. It appeared from the testimony of many of his fellow-workmen, that he was very fond of eparring with boxing gloves, and the amusement was partaken of almost daily. A week ago, last Tuesday, he pad so aparred. His brother testified, that upon the same morning, he returned home, and upon entering the house staggered, and would have fallen, only for his help, He was put to bed and attended to by Dr. Kirby until Friday, when he died. There was a contusion upon hiz right temple. His relatives deposed that the deceased had complained of his head from an early age.
