Our special correspondent at Washington writes that there was no meeting of the Cabinet yesterday, but that to-day the New York post offices will be dis posed of, after which the President and his associates will have comparatively plain sailing. The new As- sistant Secretary of State, Hon. A. Dudley Mann, has reported himself ready for duty. The Legislature of Bhode Island organized yester- day by electing a democratic Speaker. Another indignation meeting against the newly elected Mayor of Cincinnati is to be held in that city this afternoon, in consequence of his refusal to permit a Protestant preacher to hold forth in one of the mar- ket houses last Sunday week. The committee of one hundred, appointed by a previous assemblage to re- quest his Honor to resign, have twice been refused an audience by him. This excitement, which arose entirely from sectarian jealousies and discord, is fast verging towards an outbreak, and, unless quieted by the more conservative and liberal minded portion of the populace. may ultimately lead to bloodshed and bors of life. The venerable Judge Gibson, of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, died in Philadelphia yesterday. Another railroad collision occurred near Syracuse last Monday night. The Albany express train ran into an emigrant or cattle train, smashed a car loaded with cattle, killed the animals, and severely injured an engineer. Fortunately no passengers were hurt.

A full report of the proceedings, with a list of ‘the retired and newly installed officers, and the pro- ‘gramme of the committee of arrangements, will be found in this paper. At the regular monthly meeting of the New York Historical Society last night, an interesting paper on the antiquities and Indian tribes adjacent to the boundary line between the United States and Mexi- co, was read by Hon. John R. Bartlett. A verbatim report will be found in another column. A meeting of Cathotics was held yesterday in Me- tropolitan Hail, to witness the presentation of an episcopal ring to the exiled Archbishop of Bogota, on behalf of the clergy and laity of the United States. Much iateresting and important information is given on the inside pages of this sheet, as will be seen by a glance at the annexed list :—Further Letters from an ex-Editor in Central America, detailing the particu- lars of some of the unsettled claims of United States citizens, and tracing out much work for the Hon.

The Resuscitation of Martin Van Buren—The Philosophy of the Thing. The departure of Martin Van Buren from this city, on Saturday last. for Europe, was the occasion of an interesting and significant spec- tacle—full of interest and full of meaning: From seven hundred to a thousand people were assembled, including a very large proportion of our most eminent and respected citizens, to bid the venerable ex-President a happy voyage and a safe return. There was no manifestation of resentment— not 4 single word or sign recalling to his me- mory the Buffalo plattorm—the dreadful demo- cratic split of 1848—the defeat of Gen. Cass— the election of Gen. Taylor—the lamentations of Tammany Hall, and the loss of the spoils of fifty millions per annum, for four long years at astretch. Nothing of the kind. On the other hand, the man, the same man, who was ranked by the indignant national democracy in 1848, with Benedict Arnold, and who, from the storm of party hate and public derision which pursued him, was glad to retire to the obscurity almost of the grave. suddenly found himself, last Saturday. without an effort. and much to his surprise no doubt. the lion of the hour—the lion of all the democratic factions, of all par- ties and persuasions—the honorable and venera- ble right hand man and snecessor of Gen. Jackson, the revered and dignified ex-President of the United States. Was not this a curious and interesting spec- tacle? And how are we to aceount for it? Have the hunkers and hard shells, from the great vic- tory of last November. on account of the happy re-nnion with the barnburners, felt the charm- ing influence of forgiveness to such a degree as to hail the returning backslider with the en- thusiasin due toa hero? Ordo the “ ever faith- fal” concede that something must be allowed to liberty of conscience; and that, therefore, he conscientious hostility of Martin Van Buren n “46 to the extension of slavery, and bls cuu- seqrent position as the abolition candidate for the Preside are things, which in charity must be overlooked? Not so. “Charity cover- eth a multitede of sins,” but it does not this extraordinary case, There is no such charity among trading and selfish politicians. More- over. we are not aware that it has ever been believed by the Cass men, or a single one of them, or ever-seriously urged on the other side, that the free soil ticket of 1848 was a matter of principle and conscience with Martin Van Buren. His political anteecdents up to that time were directly opposed to such a con- clusion. In 1840 we know that he was “ inflexibly op- posed” to any action by Congress involving the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia. So emphatic was this declaration in Van Buren’s letter toSherrod Williams—so completely satis- factory in itself to the South—thatin the grand political revulsion which gaye to General Har- rison the vote of all the States except seven, of those seven five were the most ultra slavebold- ing States in the Union—to wit.

Past offences are blotted out, and, upon the broad princiyle that all ate in good standing who supported the Baltimore ticket of 1852, Martin Van Buren comes again into full communion. The success of the free soilers of ’48, and the secessionists of '50-’51, in reaching the highest seats in the synagogue, is proof to the point. And we doubt not the old Sachems of the party here have instinctively felt that there may be something in the prestige of legitimacy which attaches to the name of Van Buren, and to the circumstance that he was in the height of his glory. as the anointed of Gen. Jackson, during the nine years that Gen. Pierce served in Congress. At all events, enough has been done to satisfy the New York democracy that Martin Van Buren, and all con- cerned, are entitled to their most charitable consideration. We do not suppose that the old rats of Tammany Hall would have joined so heartily in the ex-President’s reception had they suspected that in the least degree it would be displeasing to their masters. Well, public life is full of vicissitudes. The man denounced to-day as a traitor, may to-morrow be again a patriot. Look at Sante Anna! The very man who has ru- ined his country has been hit upon as the only man to restore it. Martin Van Buren will, doubtless, be well received in Europe as an ex-President of the United States ; and the country will share in all compli- ments thus bestowed. But at Stafford House, the abolition female nobility will be most apt to welcome him as our antislavery Presidential candidate of 1848; and perhaps they may seek to deify him with Uncle Tom, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, and the Black Swan. But when we remember that the success of the Buffalo platform would have been the dissolution of this Union, and that the present administration owes its glorious triumph to the measures and prineiples which have saved the Union, the democratic honors with which the said ex-President left these shores are very remarkable. What comes next? Work ror Soton Bortanp.—Our Minister to Central America is not destined to have a sine- cure. There is a great deal of diplomatic business to be got through with the petty re- publics to which he will be commissioned ; and, until this business is managed. there will be no time tor enjoyment. idleness, or an indulgence in the laxury of the comito. As a part of the pro- gramme of the affairs to which his attention will be required. we give to-day some very in- teresting letters from our correspondent at Guatemala, wherein Mr. Borland, the adminis. tration, and the public generally, may learn of several important unsettled claims of ettizens of the United States against the States of Guate- mala, Costa Rica and San Salvador. We hope that one of the first cares of our Minster to Central America will be to have fall and ample justice done to American citizens. who have suffered from the political dissensions of that country, to bring the governments of these petty republics to recognise and discharge the fair and legal demands to which they have become liable. and thereby to teach the salu- tary lesson of henceforth respecting the civil and pelitical rights of American residents. Till this little task is satisfactorily accomplished let Mr. Borland think not of otium cw dignitate. Tue NonraerN METHODISTS AND THE Sia- very Quvestion.—We published yesterday the resolutions adopted at the New England Metho- dist Conference, on the slavery question. They are abolition to the backbone, as the second one will be sufficient to prove. It reads as follows:— Second—That it is our deliberate and settled inten, that no more persons guilty cf the ain of slaveholding should be admitted as members into our church, It is but eight or ten years ago that the mar- riage of a Methodist bishop with a Southern lady, who was a slaveholder, caused, from the fact that he continued to hold those slaves, a division of that church into two churches—-the Methodist Episcopal Church North and the Methodist Episcopal Church South. But here- tofore the Northern Church has been content to remain mostly neutral on the slavery question. This movement of the New England Conference (embracing all the New England States) is rather a new thing. We may count, however. upon its extension. not only in the Methodist Church North, but in other Northern churches; and, before the next three years are over, it may give a new and alarming chape to the abo- lition programme for 18 The newly intro- duced anti-slavery literature is doing its work —the infection is spreading.

But what has become of Captain Scott, of Richmond, Virginia, who, just on the eve of the Baltimore Democratic Convention, brought down thirteen Presidential candidates at a single fire? What has become of that Captain Scott? Talk on ’Change. The sales of cotton reached 4,600 bales, while prices fa- vored buyers. There was no movement of importance to notice in other articles of trade, At the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, held yesterday, there were about forty to afty members present. ‘The election of officers was gone into, and Mr, Pelatier, of the firm of Messrs. Goodhue & Co., was elected President, in place of Elias Hicks, deceased. Edward C, Bogart was clected Secretary. The most important busi- ness transacted by the Chamber was the appointment of a committee to prepare a petition, addressed to the Sec- retary of the Treasury, on the propriety of his urging forward the establishment of an assay office in this city with all convenient expedition. It was an institution greatly needed by the commercial community, and caleu- lated, when put into operation, to save considerable ex- pense to merchants, and particularly to those in the Cal- ifornia trade. The reevipts of produce at Buffalo to the Ist of May were said to be large, and inexcess of the same period last ear. ai gentleman complained of the careless manner in which buildings were pulled down in New York. Every spring lives were lost, either in demolishing old or in tho erection of new edifices, A man had been seriously hurt at the corner of Fulton street and Broadway, while pass- ing on the sidewalk beneath the eave of an old house in the course of demolition. In London the owners or ar- chitects of all such buildings were compelled to have them enclosed with a good high plank fence, so that pe" destrians might pass without danger. The same course ought to be enforeed in New York, It was suggested that better fueilities ought to exist in this city for imparting information to newly arrived emi- grants with regard to reaching the interior, particularly the West, and in respect to localities where labor was most in demand. Vast numbers were on their way to our :horer, many of whom, like too many of their prede. cessors, being ignorant of those sections of country where lebor would prove most available, migh’ stop in the large cities, depend upon precarious employment, or loiter in idleness until both means and patience were exhausted, and thence live in uncertain penury or despair, of little use to themselves or otLers. If a responsible public office or bureau was opened, or a sort of national labor agency, it might be the means of doing much good. Railroad and mining companies, with agriculturists, manufacturers, &e., could send their orders for laborers to this national office, stating terms, modes ané expense of reaching the places named, with other particulars. Emigrants on arrival, could at onee apply to the office for reliable information, and probably be able at once to proceed to a profitable field of employment. The vast country West would be amply sufficient to accommodate the largest number of emigrants that could be brought to the c»un- try. The difficulty waa riot in the prosent supply, but in the proper distribution of labor. A national bureau to aid in such a work should be established, under strong legal guarantees.

In accordance with the notice published in the Hzmatp yesterday morning, a meeting of the Catholic clergy and laity of this city and its vicinity assembled in Metrope- politan Hall yesterday at 12 o'clock, to witness the pre- sentation of a magnificent Episcopal ring to the exiled Archbishop of Bogota, Manuel José Mosquera. The reverend prelate was banished from the diocess of Santa Fe de Bogota, in New Granada, for refusing to permit the interference of the government in matters appertaining tothe Church. The first alleged invasion of the au- thorities on the rights of the Church took place in April, 1845, A law was paseed providing that when any civil tribunal! should admit an accusation against any ecclesi- astic, whether priest or bishop, the accused should re- sign his office into other hands, and if he refused to do so should be exposed to imprisonment, banishment, and other penalties, Another encroachment on the authority of the Chureh was enacted on the 27th May, 1851. By this, the right of appointing clergymea was taken from the bishops of the country and vested in a parocial club, com- pored of the heads of families in each parish, The exiled archbishop is brother of Gen.
