By reference to our despatches from Albany, it ‘will be seen that the Canal Conference Committee ‘are reported to have finally adjusted their difficulties, ‘and upon such terms as will, no doubt, meet the ap_ proval of not cily both branches of the Legislature, Dut the great majority of the people. The basis of this agreement is understood to be simply that the canals shall ‘se enlarged from their own resources’ and not from taxation, and that the odiovs con- tacts of 1851 shall be repudiated. The means are to be furnisaed by borrowing nine millions “*f dollars upon the strength of the revenues: also an additional loan of o million and a half to pry off the revenue certificates. The work is to be given to the lowest bidders, and ‘to be com- pleted ta four years. This arrangement appears to be the most judicions that could have deen effected ‘ander the circumstances. The three prominent fea- ‘tures for which we have all along contended have been recognized, and we shall watch {ts progress in the two houses with considerable anxiety. The com- mittee’s report wil: doubtless be preseated to morrow morning. No business of pnportance wastransacted in either branch of our State Legislature yesterday. The two houses were in session but a short time, and at half-past ome in the afternoon there was & general scattering of the members, some going home, and others upon pleasure excursions, with the intention of enjoying themselves to the utmoet till to-morrow morning. Truly, our law makers this year are determined to take things easily, let their eonstituenta say what they may. Well, having given us a very fair city charter, and defined the functiuns of our aldermen to be of a purely legislative and-not jadicial: character, they are probably entitled to some recreation. Now let us see what influence'the Sabbath will to-day have upon their feelings, so tar as relates to the canal question and the enaction of a law for the better preservation of life on railroads. Dates from Havana to the Sth inst., state that here was no political news of importance afloat. Mot a word is said about the progress of the clave trade in our despatch. Heavy rains had occurred, and: the yellow fever was still raging. The small pox was prevalent at Matanzas. Our special Washington correspondent writes that the gentleman who was delegated to ascertain the ‘best location for the Assay Office, in this city has made his report, from which it appears that neither the Custom House, Exchange or Bonded Warehouse will do, as it is doubtful whether any of those build” ings can furnish the necessary room. However, no- ‘thing has yet been decided upon respecting the mat- ‘ter. Collector Bronson, it is asserted, has not, up -to this time, sent a single nomination of any kind to the Treasury Department, notwithstanding that near- Ty every other collection district has made a clean sweep of the old clerks and installed new men in ‘their places. The Judge has probably found asmuch difficulty in settling the strong claims of rival con- testants for the spoils to be parcelled out by him as did the administration in deciding the question as to who should be our Collector—hence the delay. Gen. Villamil, the new Charge des Affaires from ‘Ecuador, presented his credentials to the President yon Friday last. Ht appears that a much larger number of person’ ‘was killed and wounded during the terrible Gavazzi ‘riot at Montreal last Thursday night, than was at first reported. According to the latest despatch, ten , wtwelve were either slain outright or mortally hurt, wd about fifty others were more or less injured. ‘A mong the names of the victims, we observe that go We inoffensive people were assassinated, both'before an ‘after the conflict at the church, while peacefally wer “ing their way through the streets. Indeed, peve ‘al attempts at outrage upon solitary way- fayer, * Were made on Friday night, and one 1. was killed, although the streets were ed by flying artillery until daylight yes- morning. These repeated outrages have the eitizens to the necessity of exer- he utmost viglance ; and, if possible, ‘ement yesterday was more intense than ever. At % large meeting of the inhabitants on Friday, th ‘°Y passed resolutions requesting Father Gavazzi to, ‘tuish his course of lectures, commending the police » ‘orces for their endeavors to preserve order, &c., bi" condemning the Mayor for his ineffi- ciency and 1 lect to properly perform the duties of his office. 1 “ather Gavazzi left Montreal yesterday morning, en 1 ‘oute to this city, where he promises to hold forth th 's evening at the Stuyvesant Institute.

Brigham Young, the chit apostle of the Mormons a."4 Spiritual wifery, made a speech at the Temple, at sai.’ Lake city, ia which he related a dream wherein he t. ld the apostates that De would “‘unjoint their necks.” Hider Pratt, whose ech we publish to-day, continnes w sulject; and with the Mormons a dream of the #Fophet i+ a perso: patrol] terday aroused cising 1 the excit revelation, and s revelation a law, the apostates doubtless are in great bodily fear. These apostates are calied “Gladdonites,” and have recently dissent- ed from the spiritual wife system. This sect is said to be on the increase. Brigham has prohibited emi- gration to California from his dominions. One hundred and thirty-nine of the rescued pas- sengers of the wrecked ship William and Mary are reported to have arrived in New Orleans, in a per- fectly destitute condition. Three vessels were struck by lightning, during a thunder storm, at New Orleans, last Friday. Captain Crafts, of the schooner Advance, has been ndieted at Norfolk, for being engaged in the slave trade. Several persons were yesterday severely injured by the giving way of a portion of the Albany and Northern Railway bridge near Waterford. One ac- count declares that a number were killed. @ The trial of Capt. Molony, for the murder of a sea- man named Emanuel, on the ship Roscius, termi . nated yesterday in a verdict of acquittal. Judge Boswell yesterday proposed to render ? jis decision in the Williamsburg milinery © ase, which has created so much sensation in that, city during the past week. He declared that the p? antiff, Ellen Sandizon, was not a trespasser upon #’ ne pre- mises of Mrs. Boyd; that Mr. Boyd, in eject’ iag her, used more force than was necessary, aD d conse- quently was guilty of assault and battery, for which he is fined. Before concluding, the Judg’ » was inter- rupted by counsel for defence, who wish ied to put in affidavits in mitigation. Counsel for tl ¢ prosecution stated that if this were allowed, he she juld also claim the privilege of introducing impor’ cant testimony which had come to his knowledge ¢ ince the close of the testimony, which would make ¥.he case far more aggravated and inhuman. Umder these circum- stances, the Judge postponed js decision till Tues- day afternoon. The City Inspector's rep6tt ‘for the past week rep- resents the number of @ed%hs at 320, which is an increase of ten on the previous week. Of these, forty-nine were caused by consumption, twenty-one by convulsions, twelve by debility, four by delirium tremens,%en by diarrhosa, fifteen by dropsy in the head, twenty by inflammation of the lungs, and six- teen by marasmus. The mortality among children under‘ten years of age exceeded that of any week for several] months past, the deaths numbering 187. The screw steamshsp City of Manchester sailed from Philadelphia at noon yesterday, for Liverpool, with one hundred and sixty-two passengers and $20,000 in specie. We learn from Sandy Hook that the steamship Tiiinois, from Aspinwall on the 3d inst., crossed the bar at half-past seven o'clock last evening, but up to the kour of going to press we had not heard of her arrival at the dock. She brings the California mails of the 16th ult., and $1,600,000 in gold dust. No tidings of the Pacific, with four days’ later ad- vices from Liverpool, have yet been received. She has, doubtless, been detained by the intense foge which have prevailed during the last few nights. The British Policy In Cuba—New Negro Em- pire on Our Coast. Will the administration at Washington an- swer one question to the Cuban people. at this perilous moment. when England threatens to extinguish them from amid the white nations of the earth. and to leave the place of the cen- tral gem of the American circle of States. a blot on the map of American progress? question is simple, pressing, vital. and must be answered. It must be answered promptly and definitely by the United States, for even the sufficient and fatal answer. Does the democracy of the Union concede to England the right to subjugate Cuba to the negroes ? This is the grand, the inevitable questien of 1853; and even the silence of this government for a year will be an affirmative, destruetive to white nationality in Cuba. The government owes it to its own declared views on the sanc- tity of American interests from European dic- tation, to break this silent verdict of death, If there isin the vista of human foresight a period in which the oracular “ henceforth re- sistance to foreign encroachment,” shall take its point of beginning. it would seem to be called for ata moment when England claims the right to control the destinies of Cuba, in its closest and most eventful domestic relations. We ask the administration to examine her con- duct and pretensions. and then make answer to the question propounded. England made certain treaties with Spain for the suppression of the slave trade; and. under cover of this treaty, Spain has introduced nearly half a million of savage Africans into the island of Cuba, under the term of emanci- pados. England has aided and abetted. and still continues to aid and abet, the introduction of this dangerous foreign element into the very portals of the Union. Will it be said that if the same number of British soldiers were, under any pretext whatever, introduced into Cuba, the United States would see it with indifference? Yet, by treaty with Spain, and by an assump- tion which our government has been very re- miss in acquiescing in,England claims the guar- diantbip of these African barbarians; and is at this moment openly and urgently pressing upon Spain to give over Cuba to their sway, under the color of that plausible deceit—free. instant and universal equality. The laws of Cuba pro- vide for the emancipation of these Africans long before they will be prepared to govern them- selves ; and, therefore, this haste of England to come on our side of the Atlantic. and wreck Cuba by this abrupt and disastrous change, is the more overt and criminal. It is without ex- cuse in its attack on the domestic integrity and independence of an American people. Cuba is our sister and friend. entwined in the well being of all the American States with adaman- tine bonds, of geographical, commercial, and political kindred. Cuba may cease to-morrow to be a vassal of Spain; but no vicissitude of hu- man policy can tear her from her home in the bosom of our double continent, where the hand of the Almighty anchored her, to keep eternal watch and ward over the approaches to our Southern seas and isthmus highways, The statesmen of the past had the wise courage to declare that this priocless key of the Gulf should not be seized by Europe, to become a thorn in the side of the growing Union. Is it not still more antagonistic to the national in- terest that it should be African? If the unci- vilized negro froméhe SlaveCoast is more alien to American interest tian the Enrapean colonist— if the multiplication of Haytien Expires on our border is more distasteful than Canade or Texas— the threatened Africanization of Cuba is a more dangerous infringement of the American decla- ration against foreign encroachment tian any circumstance which has occurred during this century. If this do not justify distinct explanations with England and Spain, we are forced to con_ clade that the much promised “ henceforth”’ of American protection has receded far into the distant and invisible future. If the systematic creation of an African State, under the broadest ostentation of an official British protectorate, at the most delicate and dominating point of our entire coast, be not a foreign encroaghment, we would pray the ad- The, error of obstinate silence will be in itself-a ministration at Washi gton to define what is to be understood by the term. Is not the army of African cavages which Eng- land and Spain hr ve managed to lodge within three or four da" ys steam of a coast range of two thonsand miler ,, ready to be castin a desolating flood on an’, of our unprotected towns, from Chesapeaks , Bay to the Bravo river, and which they are constantly re-enforcing with fresh recruits from Africa. and which England avows it is her plan to encourage, in one form or other—is not all this a threat and an injw -y to American interests? When a rival Poy ver prepares a missile like this to launch into tb e bosom of another nation. it does not ask ¥ shat becomes of the fragment of the shell. It it explodes with sufficient foree and carries a wide destruction around, it has done its work— it has paid for itself, and may be forgotten. But such implements of mischief to gather around their hearth stones? These African importations are formally un- der the protection of England, and every thou- sand that che helps to plant in Cuba is another regiment at her disposal; and if this steady formation of an alien and hostile force on our borders is not a dangerous and unwarrantable foreign interference, it is difficult to imagine that any thing can be, short ofa direct and downright war on our coasts and commerce. The chief magistrate of the Union declared on taking the reins of State—and the whole na- tion endorsed it with enthusiasm—that the pro- pagation of foreign colonies on the borders of the Union was “inadmissible.” Can there be any foreign settlement so opposed in every sense to the peace and well being of the Ameri- can confederation, as a colony of uncivilized blacks, near to us, strong in number, and fos- tered by a great maritime power, such as that which, through our neglect. England may. at any hour she wills, present to us in central, com- manding Africanfized Cuba? England has proffered the issue in announc- ing her policy of African importation and pre- ponderance in the West Indies; and now the administration of the United States is appealed to and asked to disdain the evasion of silence, and come forth in the manly truth of a yes or no to these grave anti-American assumptions. Saxe or Mount Vernon.—It is reported from Washington that the present proprietor of the estate of Mount Vernon, (once the home and now the resting place of the father of his coun- try,) bas been negotiating with some private individuals for the sale of the said estate; and that he has agreed to surrender it for the sum of $200,000, subject, however, to the condition that Congress is first to have the refysal of this invaluable national property, and that an appli- cation is to be made to that effect. If Congress refuses to buy it, as they have heretofore re- fused, then we presume the Mount Vernon house. and the hallowed grounds around it. in- cluding the tomb of Washington, and the graves of several other members of the family, will be transferred toa private company. This home estate, we believe, as it now stands, embraces not more, perhaps less, than one hundred and fifty acres of pretty well worn-out land; and the mansion and the former neat and tastefully arranged out-buildings, ingluding the “negro quarters,” are going rapidly to decay. A private company, therefore, in purchasing Mount Vernon, would not buy it with the ex- pectation or intention of any profits trom the farm, upon an investment of $200.000. They must buy it, as Barnum bought the Feeje mermaid and the woolly horse. to make an exhibition of it, at so much per ticket. Aud they would probably establish ice-cream saloons and drinking establishments, and billiard rooms, and ten-pin alleys, upon the premises. And with these acquisitions, and a cheap steamboat running regularly to Alexandria and ‘Washington. the sacred acres of Mount Vernon would soon be reduced to a holiday rendezvous for all the loafers and ruffians of the original District of Columbia. Hard. indeed, must be the necessities of the present proprietor of Mount ‘Vernon when he can contemplate the possibility of such unwashed barbarism and revolting desecration without shuddering. But the very fact that Mr. Curtis pro- poses first to apply yet once more to Congress, shows that he appreciates his responsibility to the American people. And there can be no duty so plain as this which devolves upon Con- gress, to buy the estate at two hundred or three hundred thousand dollars, without delay. Buy it, in God’s name—buy it at any eost. and save that house and its appendanges. and those venerable trees about the house and on the skirt of the hill, and that solemn, awe-inspiring tomb, and those honured graves around it, from the unwashed Goths and Vandals of these latter days. Mr. Curtis, like his predecessors in occu- pation of Mount Vernon. since the death of the illustrious chief of the family, has been at a constaat expense on account of his numerous visiters from all parts of the country, and all parts of the world. His time has been taken up in the duties of hospitality; and his remnant of the estate being small, and the land poor, he is necessarily not as rich as Croesus. Some thing of indemnity is due to him from Congress, independently of the paramount duty to the government, of buying the property, and of holding it sacred against all sacrilegious inva- sions or violations, for evermore. The reservation of Mr. Curtis, in this view. we trust, will save Mount Vernon to the eountry, as the common property of the whole American people; for we believe that if the hardships to which he has been. and continues to be, subjected. for the public accommodation, are laid before Congress, they will not have the meanness to chaffer about a few dollars and cents, more or less. Better have the shades of Mount Vernon, made an asylum for the disabled and superannuated old soldiers of the army, than permit them, through hard necessity, to be transferred to hucksters who would specu- late upon the very bones of Washington, and change his former beautiful home into a com- mon drinking establishment. We trust that one of the first acts of Congress will be to se- cure Mount Vernon. Prorrection or Ramway Passencers—A Geop Exampie.—There is an existing law in the State of Illinois -yhich provides that rail- road companies shall pay five thousand dollars for every life vst on a train of cars. through the careleesness or recklessness of the company or their ageats. This appears to us a wise and bumane statwte, and so perfectly simple as a guarantee for the safety of railroad passengers— so entirely free from the shadow of an objec. tion—so imperiously demanded as a matter o justice to the travelling public—so plainly sug» gested as a measure of policy to all parties con- cerned—the people, the State, pnd our rail- where is the wisdom of the people who suffer | ‘road eorporations—that it is surprising to us that vo man thus far in our Legislature has been manly enough to make this measure his particu- lar bill, urging it forward, from day to day, till ‘established as a law of the land. Does every man in both houses at Albany stand in awe of our railroad companies? Does Mr. Vanderbilt? does Mr. Taylor? does Mr. Cooley? Is there not some man among them willing and bold enough to lead the way in securing some indem- nity to the widew and orphans whose protector and provider of life’s necessities may be slain tbrough the cupidity of a railroad company, or from the reckless stupidity of an incompetent engineer? New York, more, perhaps, than any other State inthe Union, stands in need of the wholesome law of Illinois, Can we or can we not rely upon Mr. Cooley? Diptomatic Rerorms—Prerry Goop For THE Premier.—We learn with pleasure from our Washington correspondent, that Secretary Mar- cy has taken in hand the reformation of divers abuses which have so Jong existed in our diplomatic and consular service. Ameri- cans travelling abroad have often been shocked to witness the employment of foreigners in many of our European legations, and in the United States consular offices almost everywhere. Governor Marcy has corrected this abuse by directing that hereafter none but Americans are to be entrusted with diplomatic and consu- lar secrets and archives. Hereafter, it is said. our foreign ministers are to trancact their own business, and not transfer to their secretaries the onus and responsibili- ties of official signatures. For the future all our foreign legations are ordered to be opened itted put as a summer retreat, by Mr. Steddard, recent- ly ef Barnum’s Hotel, Baltimere. There are great at- tractions in this pisturesque locality. ‘The White Lake, in Sullivan eounty, New York, may be very pleasantly visited, by putting up at Wooldridge’s jotel. uiters to the Baranac Lakes cam stay at the Ausable House, in Keenesville; and at Newburg the Powelten House will be feund a fashionable and comfortable abode, ‘We way say the same of the Neptune House, New Ro- ebelle. Visiters to West Point on the Hudson, will, of course, put up at Cozzens’ Hotel. The various watering places om Long Island are smong the most delightfal of all we have enumerated. First among them is the Hamilton House, at Fort Hamilton. ‘Then there are the Pavilion Hotel, at Glencove; the Pa- vilion Hotel, at Rockaway; that at Bath; and over on Coney Island, the Oceanic House, kept by Charles M. Rogers. ‘Reavellers visiting the great chain of Northwestern lakee—the Erie, Hurom, Superior and Michigan—eanact do better than spend some da; t Detroit, where they caleulate on receiving every attention at the Biddle He ° We have necessarily omitted to mention a great many other points of interest, which ontission we may supply ons future occasion; but we think the foregoing will be interesting and useful to such of our readers as are me- ditating summer trips through the country. Our City Police—Increase of Salary. The members of the police department have presented o petition to the Common Council, asking for an increase of pay, which was duly accepted, and referred to the ap- propriate committee to report thereon. ‘When this petition was first presented, we were dis- posed to believe that the policemen were already receiy- ing a reasonable compensation for their services, but, on investigating the matter, taking into consideration the increased price of provisions and house rent, to- gether with the arduous duty they have to perform, it will ‘pe but justice for the Common Council to take favorable notice of their application, and award them some pecu- niary relief, We have taken the pains to ascertain the actual duty required to Le performed by policemen, during forty eight hours. On patrol duty, from sunrise to eight o’clock A M.; on every day, éXcept Sundays, from 9 A. M. to3 P. M., for the accommodation of American citi- zens. Hereafter American passports are to be vised gratis by the minister, in all places where one resides. This will be found an im- portant reform, in Rome and Naples particu- larly. and in some other cities. The new Secre- tary has abolished consular and diplomatic uni- forms, in all cases where they can be dispensed with. We wish we could add that ministers and consuls were required to remain at their posts, except on leave of absence. The Secreta- ry of State has, however, for the present, done enough to show his determination to correct all abuses as they come to his knowledge. This augurs well. So farso good. Next we shall expect to hear of something clever concerning Mexico. Will there be war? That is the ques- tion. GENERAL QuaTTLEBAUM RESIGNED—PEACE IN Sourm Carorma.—Gen. Paul Quattlebaum, the leading military secessionist of South Carolina, has resigned his commission as a Brigadier General of the military forces of the State, as will be seen from his patriotic letter, which we publish to-day. We now feel easy—perfectly easy—concerning South Carolina. She has submitted to stay in the Union, and to devote her energies henceforward to the arts of peace, and Gen. Quattlebaum’s “ occupation ’s gone.” “ Farewell the plumed troop and the big wars Which make ambitien virtue.” But two short years ago, the whole of the Pal- metto State, from the swamps of the seaboard to the mountains—though not so much in the mountains as among the swamps—was in a blaze ef war. Secession conventions, the or- ganization and drilling of troops, military en- campments, armories, and appropriations for artillery and munitions of war, were the order of the day. Then Gen. Quattlebaum rode about upon his charger, ‘armed cap-d-pie.’ Whata change! The clamor for war has been super- seded by railroad meetings and the great Mem- phis practical business convention. And Gen. Quattlebaum has resigned! And may he never be called upon again to draw his warlike sword for battle except against the common enemy of the whole country! Vive Gen. Quattlebaum! xe Retreats and Watering Places. ightfal weather which we have been enjoying for some time past, has produced a very active and general move amorg the fashionable and pleasure seeking people of this metropolie, in the direction of the various watering plsces and summer resorts. Notwithetanding the attrac- tion which the New York Crystal Palace might be sup- pored to exerc'se in concentrating fashion in this city, avd notwithstanding the unprecedented rush to Europe whieh we bave commented on recently, there appears to be every indication that the springs and mountains, and Jakes and waterfalls—the points of natural attraction throughout the country—will be more than usually crowd- ed with visiters this season. Our columns for some days pest have contained advertisements and communications from the various watering places and mountain retreats, frem among which our readers will be able to seleet points of visit most congenial to their several tastes. We also give to day interesting letters from our correspondents at ake Winnipisreoge, in New Hampshire, and Owego, New York, together with notices from local papers, of the hotels and boarding houses. The article on the Saratoga hotels, which we extract from the Republican of that town, ¢oes not contain anything of the principal hotels, sucb as the United States, Congress Springs, &e, but merely describes the less expensive class of houses. The others were partially mentioned. There is one point on which we should not fail to give our travelling friends some information. We have seen some of the guide books of various regions, which profess to direet the reader to the principal hotels at the various places, and we find that, in the majority of cases, it is but the inferior houses which are thus puffed off. The guide to Niagara, for instance, published this year, avoids all mention of the International Hotel, one of the most mag- nificent houses in the country; and the United States Railroad Gvide for June, 1863, gives for this metropolis only three principal hotels, of which netther the Metropo- litan nor the St. Nicholes form one. Io other respects they are as little to be depended on—the fare from New York to Albany, on the Harlem Railroad, being, for in- stance, set down in the last named publication at some $2.20, while, in reality, it is but $1. Magara contains some half dozen hotels—the Interna. tional, Cataract, the Clifton, &c. The latter is on the Canadian side, and would be one of the most eligible in the place, were it not for the very deficient service of the ferry across the Niagara river. All we have mentioned will, however, be found well managed, and exeellent houses, ‘ We have recently enumerated the principal hotels of Saratoga, and give to-day, as we have remarked, a list of the minor kouses. Itis to be hoped, however, that we may vot bave the same cause of complaint against those fashionable hotels, of keeping their guests down to starvation point, that we had last year. If they cannot properly accommodate all their guests in the dining hall at the one time, let arrangements be made for a second dinner, and thus preclude the absolute necessity of brib- ing the waiters to attend to the wants of the hungry. The interesting letters which we have recently published from our corre:pondent at Lebanon, leave nothing to be said im favor of those very healthful and delightful springs. Those who make the tour from Niagara to Toronto, and down the Ontario and St Lawrence to Montreal, and thence goto Lake George, would do well to spend some time in thet beautiful locality, with which so many his- torical reminiscences are connected. A fine large hotel has been recently erected on the east shore of the lake, ‘This is the United States Hotel, kept by Messrs, Crosby & Marvin, the latter one of the well known and mach ad- mized proprietors of the United States Hotel at Saratoga. therrill’s Lake House, at the head of Lake George, is a long established ard popular house. The steam " Jay plies daily between there houres and Ticon at, in connection with the Lake Champlain steamboats for Montreal, ke. The White Mountaina will, as usual, attract immense crowds of yisiters. Every comfort and accommodation are provided by the hosts in that locality. At Cooperstown, in Otsego county, the late residence of great American rovellet, Pallose Cysper, lee boom j ay duty as a reserve, in the station house, from nine A.M. to twelve o’clock; patrol, from one o’clock P.M. to sunset; from eight to twelve M., as a reserve, in the station- house; from twelve o’clock M. to sunrise, on patrol. At sunrise they are relieved on post, and after returning to the stationfhouse and answering to their names at rol call, they are permitted to go to their respective homes until sundown; but this cessation from duty is generally interrupted by fires, riots or seme other sudden emergen- cy. In all such cases they are obliged to re- port themselves at the station house. At sunset, they ge on patrol duty until 12 0’clock M., and remain asa reserve at the station house uatil sunrise, when they again go om patrol, and thus pursue the above named routine of duty from day today. It is true they have one night in three weeks allowed them to remain home with their families; but even that is subject to the same contingencies as above stated, as they are liable to be called up at any hour, the Mayor considering police- men to be always on duty. Again: A policeman, on an average, during the night, bas under his charge some three hundred stores and dwellings, all of which he is expected to watch and pro- tect. Now, it is evident that for such # responsible posi- tion the citizens want good, reliable men—men not only of temperate habits, but of sound moral character, pos- sensing the unlimited confidence of the public; and in order to secure the services of such men, the salary must be made an object to induce men of respectability and character te accept the office. And how insignificant does an increase of a few thousand dollars appear to this great city, compared with that feeling of safety naturally tobe felt by the community, were all the members of police composed of such men as we have alluded to! And while we are willing to acknowledge that there are many good and efficient mon already connected with the department—men who are in every way worthy ef the respect and esteem of their fellow citizens—there are some, we must confess, who are wholly unfit for the duties devolved upon a policeman, and who, from a variety of circumstances, have not the respect or confidence of those whose interests are, for the time being, entrusted to their care. But this evil can, and willbe hereafter, rectified, as the ordeal through which all new applicants have to pass, added to which, the ngid enforcement of discipline now maintained in the department, will no doubt in future meet the expec- tations of the public. For our own part, we say, give us good and capable men put none into office unless they are physically and mor ally qualified to discharge the duties, and then pay them a salary whereby they can support themselves and fami- lies ina comfortable manner, holding them at all times to a rigid accountability for the faithful discharge of their duty; applying always, in every case of dereliction of duty, prompt punishment. One of the reasons assigned by the petitioners for ask- ing an increase of salary, is the high prices of previsions, ard the exorbitant amount they have to psy for house rent. Now it is conceded by all that it requires at least one-third more to sup- port @ family in this city at the preseat time than it did six or seven years ago, which circumstance certainly comes reasonably under consideration, Be sides, the policeman is exposed to all weather, and conse- quently fequires a greater quantity of clothing; they are also subject to have their clothing destroyed by attending at fires and by attacks made on them by ruf- fians and drunken rowdies. The very nature of a policeman’s duty exposes his life and limb, coming in contact with the midnight burglar or the prowling desperado. Several of the policemen have already lost their lives in the discharge of their duty; ethers, again, are disabled, perhaps for life, from the same cause. Taking into consideration the small number of police- men (say 350) on actual duty at one time, during the night, each patrolman having to guard some eight or ten blocks, it is a wonder that our great metropolis is pro. tected as well as we find it to be, It is to be hoped that the eommittee to whom the peti- tion was referred will look favorably into the application, as by doing justice to the policemen they will be affording that protection to the community so mush needed, The British Frigate Leander. The officers and men of the Leander were busily en- geged during yesterday in putting their vessel into “ship shape.” When this necessary duty is complete, many of our citizens will have an opportunity of seeing her as she should be seen. Lord Ellesmere was so far recovered from his illness as to be able to come ashore yesterday, when he visited the Clarendon Hotel, previous to his occupying, with his family, the apartments which he has engaged there, His Lordship, by letters from England, secured the use of five bedrooms and two parlors, at the Clarendon for as lorg as he may remain in New York, and wo believe that he expressed himrelf pleased with the manner in which they were arranged, as regarded comfort and conve- nience. None of the officers came on shore yesterday as all were busily engaged in the discharge of their duty, nor did any person from the land visit the Laander, except those who had very particular business. Army Intelligence. IN Major Sherman's company of Light Artillery arrived here yesterday afternoon from Newport, R. I., on its way to Minnesota territory via the lakes. The battery is on its way via New Orleans, This battery distinguished itself at Fort Brown, Texas, at Monterey, and Buena Vista, in the Mexican war. ‘The object of the adminis- tration, in sending the light artillery to the Western fron- tier, is yet unknown. One company of light artillery has recently been ordered to Fort Washington, on the western borders of Arkansae, and another on the Rio Grande, The officers accompanying the troops now on their way to Minnesota territory, are :— Bt Major Sherman, Commanding. Lieut. G. T. Andrews, 3d artillery. Lieut. Piper, 8d Artillery. The battery is to receive ita horses from St. Louis and Towa. It will leave here this afternoon.
