The Franklin, from Havre and Southampton, ar- mived at this port at eight o'clock yesterday morning, bringing our London files of the 26th of October, and Paris dates of the 25th of the same mouth. In Doth capitals the newspapers were unanimous in the -@pinion that a war between Rassia and Turkey was mow inevitable. Hostilities were to commen:e forth- with, and the Turkish troops under Omar Pasha ‘were preparing to cross the Danube near Thalia and ‘Widden. The combined fleets of Eagland and France thad entered the Dardanelles, and it was understood ‘that the ships would proceed to Constantinople one by one. The Russian forces occupied the same strong poritions in which they were stationed at the period of our previous advices. A major of engineers in the service of the Czar hai been shot by a Turkish gunner, when employed in taking soundings at the banks of the Danube, ani perhaps th's may be noted asthe firet gun fired, and a most sanguinary conflict May take place between the two opposing forces of the East and North. Itis said that the Russiau Minister of Finance had assured the British mer- chants of St. Petersburg of entire protestion to their property in ease of war. Another cabinet council had been held in England, at which the political in- tricacies of the Turkish question were discussed, but it was not deemed tieccssary to summon an extra gession of Parliament. Lord Clarenden had pledged his word to the shipowners of South Shields, in reply #0 a communication, that the government would take all nevessary steps to protect vessels trading wear the ceat of war; but he declined to answer a quection as to the amount of bounty which would be paid for the rescue of a British ship “from the enemy,” on the grounds of ‘government policy and egal considerations.” There is nothing of importance from France. Another ministerial crisis was expected in Spaia. Mr. Sonlé had arrived at Madrid. He had delayed in forwarding 9 copy of the speech which he intend- ed to make to her Majesty upon the occasion of his presentation at Court. The question of his recep- tion or rejection would be deeided, it was said, by the tone and character of that paper. Cholera was gradually extending in London. The operstive strikes in the English mannfacturing towne sti)l continued, and had assumed a rather for- midable appearance, although conducted with a due segard for the public peace. Twenty seven hop pickers were drowned in the _river Medway, near Maidstone, by the upsetting of 2 large wagon in which they were riding. ‘The summary of news and the correspondenee which we give today from Central America will be found highly interesting.

Many serious minds are already absorbed in speculation on the President’s message and a prospective canvass of the acts of the coming session; and, in view of the gravity ef the in- terests which these may be expected to affect or control. the task can hardly be regarded as idle or premature. Men cannot too soon begin to revolve in their minds the great problems which the next session of Congress will be called upon tosolve.

Our correspondent gives some interesu..,, facts concerning the United States Legation in Nica ragua, and public opinion there with respect to this country and Great Britain. He also furnishes a de- scription of a very remarkable yoleano near Mana- gua, which was at the date of writing in a state of eruption. . We elsewhere give all the additional returns of the election in this State that had been received up to the time of sending this sheetto press. It will be observed ‘that our first announcement of the almost universal success of the whigs is fully confirmed—the majori- tien for the candidates of that party actually ‘ing auch larger than was anticipated. It i8 “sew doub’ ful whether there will be more tho”, ‘hve or six demo- rats in the State Senate; 4", gs for the Van Buren- fitee, or free soilers, they will only be represented by one or perhaps <Wo members. At least two-thirds of the Assembly will be composed of whigs. The large vote polled by the national democrats has really as- tonished even the most saugaine of that class. Many ounties that rendered majorities for Van Buren in 1848, are now found to bave given the national party a large vote over the free oilers. In order to prevent mistakes as far as possible, we repeat the Hist of names of the candidates elected, in which several corrections have been made. Our despatches from the national capital this morning relate to the leading political topics of the day, viz., the forthcoming message of the President, the reports from departments, ana the effect of the election in this State. It is understood that little of the message has as yet been written; however, the principal featares have been pretty fully matured, and nothing remains to be done but to place them together. The vroundwork of the document, as al ready defined in the columns of the Hewat, is be- lieved to be correct in all important particulars. feeretarics Guthrie and Davis are reported to have- 4 Yeeu invisible, and Mr. Marcy very taciturn, yester- day; but wether this was owing to the cares devoly ing upon them ia the preparation of their annual re porte, or to the effect of the New York election, is a patter which may be left for the investigation of th shat portina of it ws Ghia Will ven | forward with tolerable confidence to see peace portior © message which will refer to | vestored to the minds of our European cotem- the tariff.

We have every reason to believe that the Pre- jews on the subject of the tariff will The New Police System. THE RESERVE CORPE AND THE UNIFORM, A prdlosl chaae, as our renders aro sirducy aware, | has been effected in the organization of t partment. Onthe 13th of April last the Legislatare, in accordance with the gexeral desire of the people, passed an act having in view the reformation of many abasos which existed im our police government, Tho frequent complaints that had been made in relation to the system of appointments, and the many evils to which it gave rise, rendered a revolution absolutely necessary. Men ‘were eppyinted to the responsible station of police officers whose only recommendations were the political services they hada rendered to the appointing power, while those whose merits and abiliiies seemed to fit them for such ponition were passed over with indifference, In this way, persons whe were entirely unfitted for it were sometimes appointed, and these were dependent, to a great extent, upon the favor of the Aldermen Besides, it was alleged that the entire absence of a uniform in the Police Depart- ment led to many abuses, while it was conddentially as- serted that these would beremedied by the adoption of a common style of dress for the whole body. When an alray occurred im the streets, it was almost impossible to find 4 policeman, and those who went in search of one wore generally unsuccessful. This wasin some degree at- tributable to the dificulty of distinguishing an officer from & citizen, the only mark by which he was kn@wo being the tar and that could be very easily, as it often was obscured by accident or design. Uuder the present system, bowever, this dificulty has been obviated and a policemen cannot now be mistaken, The now regulation provices that he shall wear a uniform—'‘a frock coat cf mavy blue cloth, single breasted collar male to roll or stand, nine buttons on the breast, two buttons on the hips, alro two buttons at the bottom of the shirt.” In addition to this they will wear a cap having the word ‘police’? on the front, and the number of the man in the departmont. This coat is w be worn during the months of September, Ooto- ber November, December, Junuary, February, Maro, April ard May, anda similar one, of lighter material, a9 the captain of each district may select, be worn during ummer mouths. Thie uxifurm will be worn by the captains and lioufonants, ae well ar the'r subordinates, Dot perhops the most fmportant (eature in the new sident’s vi coincide with those of every right thinking man. Cuba and the Sandwich Islands will occupy some space inthe message. It is improbable that the stupid hoax about apprentices aud Howden’s treaty, to which the Washington Union gave currency, will be honored with any notice. It is enongh that Senor Torriente has had the address to dclude the newspaper organ of the Cabinet. The President will re- iterate his firm resolution to preserve our na- tional honor without blemish, by suppressing energetically all attempts at fillibusterism, but at the same time will not shrink from delineating our true position towards Cuba, in unequivocal langnage. We can hardly affect to doubt that France and Bag- land have come to an understanding together to prevent our ever becoming possessed of the island on any terms; and the kuowlodge of this fact renders it incumbent on us to ap- prize our allies, in very plain terms, that we cannot admit their right to interfere in the mat- ter, and that should aa opportunity of acquir ing Cuba, honestly and fairly, present itvelt, we rhould unquestionably avail ourselves of it, ‘This we are assured the President will do in his metsege; while, at the same time, we shatl pro- bably learn as much of the pending negotiations on the enhject, with Spain, as comports with scheming to raise money to pay off arrears of ments the message can defend the policy of to o : ' nag soon a3 the character of the movement of the 4 debate; alter which the motion was carried, Repreeed we now pay for a much {nferi iY. ce , i eal inter- | Movieline, Pete G cartenaa ow pay fo nuch inferior quality. —° | fleets was shown to constitute no real inter | MclU"™, Petérmém, anc cacrensen, were appointed | report of system is the appointment of the Boar! of Commissioners for the trial of officers. This Board consists of the Mayor, the Fecorder and City Judge, who are invested with the power of appointment aud removal. Under theold order, as we have said, the political services of the applicant formed his strongest :ecommendation, but politics have been entirely excluded in the consideration of bis claims. Now, his character for honesty, sebriety and vigilance must be satisfactorily proved by a certiticate signed by twenty five reputable citizens. He must also present to the Mayor a certificate from a surgeon of the depart- ment, certifying that he bas been professionally exam- ined, and that he is a man of seund body, of robust consti- tution, and is able to sustain the usual labors and exposures incident to the life of a policeman. In addition to these requirementa, he must establish to the satisfaction of the commit sioners that be can read and write with ease; that he understands perfectly the first four rules in arithme- tic, and that he is a proper person to fill the cffice for which he applies. His removal from the ward for which he bas been appointed is tantamount to vacation of his office. Membere of the department will not, as herete- fore be appointed for four years, but will hold their situations during good behavior. ‘The great necessity for a proper incentive to stimulate members of the Police Department to excel their com- rades in the discharge of the very important duties con- fided to them by the public, has induced the com mission- ers to organize a “Reserve Corps,’ that shall be composed of men who have by their acts demonstrated their euperior finess for bigh and honorable positions in the depart- ment, Theso positions, the Commissioners inform us, are intended t» be honorary, for no member of the force can be appointed unless he can show, by his previous good cor(uct and indefatigable industry, that he is en- titled to such # position. Theirlabors will be very ardu- ous, but they will have many opportunities of obtaining extra compenration from parties by whom they may be employed on special business, In all casee of rewards or compensation of this kind, permission must first be granted bythe Mayor. To chock any abuse that might ‘rom this privilege, all oflicers who way be detected ing money without having received previous per- jon, are liable to be removed. It this system be faithfully carried out in every particular, we will eventu- ally have a police force which for vigilance and detec- tive powers will be second to none in this or any other country. The ‘Reserve Corps’? is now in an almost complete state of organization. It will consist of one hundred policemen, who will be divided into twenty squads, each squad consisting of one sergeant and four policemen, The corps will always hold themselves in readiness to attend at the several criminal courts of the city, public meetings, public places of amusement, ferries, railroad depots, and other plaees where thieves anf suspicious persons ave likely to congre- gate. They are also to act as overscers of the other members when accompanied by the Mayor or Chief of Police, and be ready to act upon all emergencies, in any part of the city in which their services may be required, The whole force of police at present in the department is about one thoveand, which ia distributed throughout the different wards in the following proportions:;— Ward.

The funeral of Mr. Becker, the Sagamore of the Tam- many Society, whose death. by accident we have before noticed, took place from the late residence of the ce ceescd, No. 7 Noroiniok street, yooterday afternvon.
