Church remarked that he should convene the Court of Impeachmeut for the trial of Canal Commissioner Mather as soon as the Assembly appointed its managers for the pro- #ecution of the suit. The appropriations for the New York Fire Department and the Hospital and Orphan Asylum were stricken out of the Supply bill, after which the measure passed by eighteen to six. The extraordinary pruning this bill has undergone in the Senate will be apt to cause an exciting controversy between the two houses before the matter is finally disposed of. It appears te have been so transformed as to render it a question of doubt with some Assem- blymen whether it was not a new bill altogether. Most of the afternoon was consumed by the Senate in discussing the Railway Tax and Toll bill. The Assembly concurred in the Senate’s amend- ments to the Niagara Ship Canal and Canal Enlarge- ment bills. Among other bills passed by the As- sembly was one authorizing a horticultural garden to be founded in this city, and another amending the charter of the New York Juvenile Asylum. Mr. Noble brought in a bill providing stringent penal- ties for maliciously placing obstructions on railroad tracks. Why not append this to the Anti-Railroad Accident bill, and paes the latter at once? Why @elay action on a measure which will in a great de- gree tend to eusure the eafety of hundreds of lives which are now daily in jeopardy? Night sessions were held by both houses, but what they accom- plished we have not ascertained. The President, says a Washington despatch, is greatly embarrassed concerning the conduct of Mr. Marshall, the American Commissioner, with regard to the Chinese revolution. What makes the matter still worse is that we have no vessel in readiness to convey Mr. Walker, who is to succeed Mr. M., to the geene cf operations. Mr. W. was to have left about the 20th of September, in the steamer Princeton, but she has proved a failure and cannot undertake the woyage. The only resource left is the steamer Sara- mac, and she, it is understood, cannot be got ready before December. Mr. Walker, we are gratified to learn, bas entirely recovered his health, and is ready to proceed to business. What's to be done? The newly appointed Minister to Brazil, Gov. Trousdale, of Tenn., is in Washington. He will re- eeive his instructions and depart for his post as soon as convenient. A despatch from Washington remarks that fresh difticuiues have urisen with regard to the fishery question. It is now believed that the negotiations will be delayed and that the subject will not be dis- poeed of befure the meeting of Congress. In the Meantime, the fleet under Com. Shubrick will en- Geavor to as strenuously protect the rightful interests of the American fishermen as does Admiral Sey- mour’s squadron those of our colonial neighbors. By telegraph from Baltimore, we learn some #d- ditional aud quite interesting items from Mexico. The cholera and yellow fever were committing frightful bavoc among the inhabitants of Vera Cruz. Itis reported that not over ten persons survived out of every hundred attacked by the vomito. We elsewhere publ further particulars relative to the fatal catastrophe on board the steamer Em- pire last Saturday, together with the evidence given before the Coroner's jury yesterday. The verdict will be rendered this moruing. No more victims to the explosion have been found. A new trial has been granted to Kissane, recently convicted at Cincinnati for being concerned in ex- tensive forgeries. His bail has been fixed at ten thousand dollars, and unless the security is given he will be rent to Columbus for safe-keeping. Findley, who was also convicted on the same charges, but made bis escape on being brought into Court to hear the verdict of the jury, has not been recaptured. An unusually large amount of business was trans- acted by the Board of Aldermen last gvening, as will be seen on reference to the lengthy official re. port in another column. The Comptroller having refused or delayed to comply with the former resolu- tion, authorizing him to pay seven thousand dollars for ‘he lease of twenty one lots on the north side of Forty-fifth street, near the East river, to be used as ‘a depot tor the contractor for the removal of offal, Mr. Sturtevant offered a resolution, which was adopt- d by eleven to one, directing said Comptroller, with- out further delay, to furnish the sum necessary to carry out the spirit of the first mamed resolution Mr. Sturtevant also presented a resolution, which was referred to the Committee on Streets, directing the further narrowing of the easterly sidewalks of the Park to eight feet, at the expense of the Harlem and Third Avenue Railroad Companies, and that the lat. ter company be required to take up and relay its track inside the rails belong to the former company. ‘The Board adjourned till the first Monday in August. By the report of the Comptroller, presented last evening to the Board of Supervisors, we perceive that the taxation for the year will amount to $4,966,241 52, the heaviest items of (which are for police, lighting lamp district, city schools, common schools, repairs and supplies, re-paving and cleaning streets, docks and slips, and charitable institutions. The report, which is not yet completed, states that there is one-quarter mill on the valuation. A Board of Police Commissioners yesterday pro- ceeded to investigate the charges preferred against John Cusack and Patrick Kelly, who were sus pended from their functions as police officers for alleged misconduct in permitting prisovers to escape during the riot in the Ninth ward, on the 4th of July A full report of the investigation is given in another column. To-day's inside pages contain Letters from Lor- don, Paris, Boston, and various of our principal Watering Places; Communication from Colonel Beaton concerning the Proposed Railway to the Pacific ; Commercial, Theatrical, and General News, &e.

Senor Salazar, the Mexican Commissioner, | ‘ as it appears. maintains the inconter*iole right of Mexico to the Mesilla Valley, and threatens to resign if ‘ne least concession is made to the fillibustering pretensions of Gov. Late. And the Tyait d’Union, the organ of the French in the Mexican capital, and perhaps the most impartial newspaper authority there in reference to Mexican affairs, is doubtful whether Mexico, (that is Santa Anna, /'état e’est moi,”) would entertain any proposition whatever for the purchase of the Mesilla coun, try. Furthermore, it seems that from the dis- honoring of the Sloo drafts upon his Tehuante- pee contract apprehensions were entertained that the whole project would fall to the ground. These several specifications afford a sufficient margin for some practical deductions touching the present exact condition of the pending em- barrassments between the Mexican government and ourown. Prima facie, there is nothing con- ciliatory in this intelligence. nor can we. from the best analysis we can make of it, arrive at any other conclusion than this: that it will re- quire the nicest forbearance and moderation on both sides to avoid the ultimatum of war in the settlement of our various difficulties with Mexico. First: upon the Mesilla Valley question. the position of Senor Salazar, if adhered to by district, must inevitably result in the trial of battle. Both parties cannot proceed to occupy with an armed force the same piece of ground without coming to blows. The experiment on the Rio Grande of 1846 is a very striking case in illustration. Mexico claimed the country be- tween the Rio Grande and the Nueces—so did we. We sent an armed force to occupy this disputed district—so did Mexico. A skirmish followed. General Taylor was reported to be surrounded by an overwhelming Mexican force. Congress instantly declared war to exist by the act of Mexico, and, with this declaration, voted fifty thousand men and ten millions of money to open the first campaign. Now, who can say that the claim of Mexico to the present disputed terri- tory is not as good as was her claim to that margin of desert which resulted in the war of 462 Her authorities insist that it is better. be- ing not only valid, according to the established boundaries of Chihuahua, but according to the act of our Boundary Commissioner appointed to run the line under the treaty of peace. Hence the pertinacity with which the Mexicans cling to this Mesilla Valley ; for, whether right or wrong. the line conceded by Mr. Barlett they regard as a concession by the United States, as required by the treaty and by the established boundary between the State of Chihuahua and the territory of New Mexico. Nor must we forget that the line demanded by our administration invades the soil of.a i State. which cannot be ceded away under the federal constitution of the Mexican republic. Otherwise, Mr. Trist might have insisted upon a straighter line in the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The line of Mr. Gray, therefore, which is the line of General Pierce, cannot be con- ceded by Santa Anna without revolutionizing the fundamental law of the confederation of the Mexican States. Santa Anna is pledged also, to maintain intact the integrity of the soil of the republic. His popularity, nay. his very existence. will depend upon it, at least until he shall have made a successful coup d'état in re- establishing the Empire. or in retroceding the republic back to its ancient allegiance to Spain. On our side, the administration has laid claim to the disputed territory: and this fact places General Pierce in a very delicate aud responsi- ble position. Slould Santa Anna persist in refusing to surrender it, in connection with an additional slice for arailroad south of the Gila, for a good round sum of money, and should he refuse arbitration in the matter, the only alter- native will be to take possession of the land by force of arms. This, of course, will involve us in a war, the end of which, it is plain to foresee, will be the absorption of the whole Mexican republic; for the whole of it would become necessary to obtain the overland inter-oceanic route of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The United States and Mexico stand just now very much in the same general relations towards each other as Russia and Turkey. The probabilities. provocations, and tendencies to war between usand our unfortunate republican sister are even more numerous, and quite as strong. as between the Czar and the Sultan. Perhaps our disputed boundary may be ad- justed without invoking another crusade to the “ Halls of the Montezumas.” But then the Te- huantepee question confronts us. In 1848 the Mexican commissioners refused to grant us the Tehuantepec right of way for fifteen millions of dollars because it had already been granted to Don Jose Garay. who had transferred it to the English house of McIntosh & Co., whose rights the Mexican government were bound to respect. [Vide the treaty negotiations.] But now, the grant having been turned over to a company of Americans. it is repudiated by Arista, and su- perseded by Santa Anna on his return to power by his confirmation of the late Mexi- can Sloo contract. But as our govern- ment, including the democratic Committee of Foreign Relations in the Senate thought fit to make this matter a casus be/li with Arista, we apprehend it will be difficult to avoid the same ultimatum with Santa Anna, by whom, in 1842, this Tehuantepec right of way was, with all the formalities of a Jona fide contract. made over to Senor Garay, Such are the two most prominent difficulties pending between us and Mexico. Upon the first, ctly similar understanding, we have already had a war. Upon the second, Mr. Fill- more, a peace man, and Mr. Webster, a conser- vative, together with Mr. Mason, the con- servative chairman on Foreign Relations of the Senate, we: srought to the pinch of a sine or open hostilities. And these are the prominent, with many other minor issues, that are now to be settled by this democratic progressive administration. fully alive to the power of Young America, and pledged to carry out the principles of “manifest destiny.” But General Almonte is in Washington, says that Sata Anna haps it may be qua non He wants peace. and per- s0, though appearances are sadly against him. And General Pierce has said that his mind ivelines the same way. Per- haps it does; but look at the glory and the power which he and halt his eabiaet have reaped from the last war, and look at the gathering distractions in the democratic party. and an ewer us. then, dirpyseionate reader, if there ix Santa Anna. with a refusal to sell the disputed | Dassia and Turkey. Is that thunder? Mr. Sepewick. THE Crystal PALACE, AND Tue Crry Press.—The city press, particularly the Sunday newspapers, and some of the small fry among the dailies, have been unmercifully severe upon Mr. Sedgwick, for various acts of omission and commission in connection with the opening of the Crystal Palace and the Metro- politan banquet to President Pierce. Our philosophers of the Tridune complada that neither at the inauguration nor at the din. ner was Mr. Carstensen or Mr. Gildermeister, complimented,as theyboth deserved to be, for the important part which they have performed as the designers and architects of this Crystal Pal- ace, And we must say. that although the fail- ure to put them in the front rank at the open- ing of the building was owing, perhaps, to the “noise and confusion ” incident to the visit of Gen. Pierce, that other failure to recognise Mr. Carstensen among the lions at the banquet ap- pears to have been a deliberate thing, and is therefore without excuse. At the Lon- don inauguration Mr. Paxton, the ar chitect. occupied the post of honor next } to Prince Albert and the Queen, and pari | passu,as our Palace is but a New York edi- tion of that of Hyde Park, Mr. Carstensen should have occupied the same rank, next to the Presid nt and Mr. Sedgwick, if not at the christening, at least at the banquet. The architects. it may be said, need no other compliment than the beautiful palace which their genius and scientific knowledge have created ; but that fact should have been ac- knowledged in the formal opening of the build- ing, and at the banquet. too. They deserved it, and the public expected it. for public opinion is apt to be on the side of justice. But as Mr. Carstensen is said to be preparing a pamphlet in exposition of this business. we leave his case for the present in his own hands. But the Sunday papers, and some of the lesser lights among our dailies, rest their chief com- plaint against Mr. Sedgwick for having publicly. at the President’s banquet, declared that. to the best uf his knowledge and belief, there was not one dollar of black mail sought to be levied by the American press—not the first solitary dollar. And, in the fullness of his heart, what stronger testimony could he have given in be- half of the American press? Perhaps he may have discovered. among the corps editorial around him, some good-looking individual, re- minding him of Barnum’s recent letter to the Boston papers on the subject of loans and dis- counts to the profession ; and a generous desire to make every one feel comfortable may have suggested his full acquittal of black mailing of the whole editorial corps, from Cape Cod to California. Certainly, had Mr. Sedg- wick tried the experiment and proved his point, he could not have been more explicit or com- prehensive in his full discharge of the whole American press. And the fame which will accrue to it from this important discovery ought to have reconciled instanter, by tele- graph, the whole American press to the mentioning of the subject before the President of the United ‘States and’ the distin- guished foreigners present. < For our part, we hold that Mr. Sedgwick should have afairhearing. This Crystal Palace was a great enterprise. and the task was no small one of getting it opened in style. Mr. Sedgwick had to attend to all the details of the inauguration—he had to go to Washington the second time. if we are not mistaken, to persuade the President to come—ke had next to see to the preparations for a proper reception in town and in the Palace—he had tosee to the arrange- ments for the President’s banquet, and a thou- sand other matters, and, therefore, we think he ought fo be excused in many things for which he is arraigned, and especially for his direct al- lusion to black mail, which was but the excess of his overflowing generosity in behalf of the American press. The press stands acquitted. Is not that enough? Tue Veterans or 1812,—The survivors of the gallant little corps d’armée furnished by the city and State of New York to defend the country from the Britishers in the war of 1812 and 1814, have serious. and we fear just cause of complaint, against our Legislature for some- thing akin to ingratitude or forgetfulness of their services. They have, for some years past, been endeavoring to procure the recognition of their just rights, in the shape of some extra pay, or remuneration inland, which they claim to be fairly entitled to—or rather they have sought to have the law of September, 1850, granting a title of 160 acres of land to cach of the country’s defenders, and the pension law of 1818 and 1820, extended s0 as to comprise them within its pro- visions. To secure these advantages, and for the pur- pose of mutual support and assistance, the sur- vivors of those who served in that war associat- ed themselves, some three years ago, into an or- ganization, denominated as that of “the Veteran Corps of 1812,” and on last Fourth of July a general convention of their comrades resident throughout the State was held in this city, when it was resolved that the corporation be extended so as to embrace the veterans of the several counties in the State. and Col. Nicholas Haight, of New York, was elected general in chiet. The bill for the relief, or rather for the justi- fication of those worthy old men, is now before our State Legislature, and as this is the last chance they have. we trust our representatives will determine to be. with respect to them, not only just. but generous. Tue Pactric Rattnoap—Cotonet Benton’s Rovte.—We call the attention of our readers to the communication of Col. Benton, which we republish from the ational Intelligencer. in reference to bis route for the great Pacific Rail- road. It is unnecessary to describe this route, as it is fully laid down in the various letters appended to the note of Col. Benton, including the proceedings of the public meeting at Taos in New Mexico. Some months must yet elapse, however, before any official information of this or the several other proposed routes for the Pa- cific road can be obtained; and any satisfactory judgment as to which is the best must depend upon the results of the official reports of the various exploring parties detailed by the gov- ernment. Col. Benton's route is certainly the most central, and if proved apon other points— euch as distances, grades, bridging, water wood, beef, &e.—to be superior or even equal in its facilities to any other route then we pre- sume there will be very little difficulty in fixing upon the track for the road. I any event Col.

The chief conversation referred to the few limes of later news brought by the Arabia, and published for the first time,jyesterdsy morning. A merchant who came psssenger in the Arabia, to whom we previously referred, alluded, last week, to a similar rumor having resched parties in Liver pool, from London, on the morning of the day the steamer sailed; yet as it was but a rumor it was only referred to in general terms. Opinions widely differed regarding the character of the mtws. Some disbelieved it, and expressed their convic- tions that the Emperor Nicholas would ultimately recede, and that no war would ensue; that in declaring his un- willingness to make war, or to provoke it,even, by the in yasion of the Danubian provinces, which he could not deem an act of war, be merély meant to convey indirectly the fact that he was open for negotiation, Others again considered that the Turkish government would consider the invasion of any one of her provinces an actof war, and would resist it, in which event Englandand France would feel bound to assiet her. In thus acting they might tell Nicholas that they wanted peace and did not consider their aid to the Turks an ac’ of war. As far as our markets were concerned, the news had very little irfluerce, The effect might have been greater had it« publication not been accidentally delayed. Tae Franklin being now due here, and the Europa at Halifax, which would probably bring decisive accounts, one way or the other, induced some parties te prefer waiting the rerult, rather than w operate at the present time. There was Jittle done in cotton, the sales being only about two or three hundred bales, at unsettled prices Common brands of State flour were sold chiefly at 65 12, which in most cares was six cents per barrel higher than on Saturday. .

Rai- sine cold in lots at un advance of five cexts per box. In sllasion to, the late diabolical attempt made by a man to throw the Harlem Railroad cars off the track, it was nuggerted that the Legirlature ¢hould make such an attempt punishable with death, or confinement ia the State prison for life, with the proviso that he should be hanged if the loss of life cp ued {rom injuries thus pro- dvced. It was a worse crime than arsoa, and equally merited as severe punishment. Awynvat Report oF THE Unrrep States Coast SURVEY.— ‘We bave been politely furnished this work by Professor A.D.

The Police Commissioners—Reoorder Tillou, Judge Be bee, smd Mayor Westervelt—met in the board room of the Ausi-tant Aldermen, at the City Hall, for the pur- pore of investigating charges against the police officers of the city. ‘a JOHN CUSACK, Police officer of the Ninth ward, was put on trial on a charge of conduct unbecoming an officer during the riot, which occurred in Hudson street on the 4th of July. David B. Read 7as the first witness sworn, He testi fied as follows:—I saw the riot which occurred oa the 4th of July at the corer of Hudson street and Fighth avenue; I was there at about ten o'clock A. M.; 1 saw a wan with a pistol in his hand, and I called on officer Cusack to arrest him; he made me uo answer, but walked away; some friend of his caught hold of his arm, and he then put the pistol in his pocket. and both walked of; he seemed excited, and appeared as if he would rhoot; I was exei «d myself; [am # butcher, and do busi ess ip Jeflerron Market.
