Th¥feaders of the temperance movement are en- deavoring by every possible means to create an out- aide pressure upon the excise commissioners. In @artherance of this design the city has been inun- @ated with a flood of printed tracts and manifes- toes, a sample of which we publish to-day, wherein the motives of the commissioners are animadverted wpon in a coarse and injudicious manner. So far the aldermen and councilmen have accompliehed mere for the cause of temperance in one month than the members of all the ‘Maine law organi tions together have achieved since the Hon Dow waked up one fine morning and found himself aman of mark ; and if they pursue the same course hereafter it will answer very well as an offset for their divers transgressions against the treasury of the corporation, They have cut off at least one- third of the licensed liquor-sellers of last year; and this fact should be remembered with gratitude all the more from its unexpectetness. ON THE INSIDE May be found an unceual variety of important and interesting matter, including letters from our correspondents at London, P: , Havana, and Berinuda; a compilation of inter ‘on the progress of the Know-Nothings; the recep- tion of Prince Napoleon at Constsatinople; war be- tween Spain and the United States; the Greek in? garrection; a summary of religions intelligence; em- igration to Kansas and Nebraska; burning of the Oharlotteville Academy; opinion of Judge Clerke on the opening of Fourth avenue; reviews of new books; theairical notices; commercial and finan- eial intelligence, &c., &c. AFPAIRS IN THE CITY. According to the report of the City Inspector the whole number of deathe for the week ending June 3, was 425, being an increase of 56 on the previous week. Of the total number 216 were children under ten years of age, and 79 inmates of the charitable and penal institutions. There were of apoplexy 10, bronchitis 9, consumption 57, marasmus 21, dysen- tery 16, diarrhea 7, dropsical complaints 27, fevers 19, inflammation ot the lungs 16, other inflamma- Dory diseases 16, congestion of the brain 8, cholera morbus 12, smallpox 10, convulsions 38, croup 9, sholera infantum 5. There were five died of old age, five premature births, 34 cases of stillborn, two fatal casualties, one killed by shooting with a pis- tol, one death by poison (brandy), one snicide, and even persons drowned. 227 were natives of the Dnited States, 87 of Ireland, 57 of Germany, 15 of England and 6 of Scotland. Yesterday flour continued in good demand, com. mon to choice brands selling at $9 25 to #9 75 per barrel, and better qualities at proportionately higher yates. Cotton was tolerably active, but prices fa. yored purchasers. Some sales were made at a far ‘her decling of one-eighth of a cent per pound. MISCELLANEOUS, We give elsewhere the details of the proceedings $m the Boston fugitive slave case,on Friday, toge- ther with the opinion of the Commissioner, and a graphic acconnt of the closing scenes of that event- fol day, The abolitionists of Boston yestergay nang in effigy the Commissioner, the District Attorney, and the United States Marshal, and daring Friday night Mr. Dana, one of Burns’ lawyers, was assaulted in the street and badly hart.

We give in another column, an account of a triple murder, of a most diabolical character, at Cutchogu § L.1., last Friday night.

Russia had already mani- fested.2 suficiently strong desize to avail her- self of similar pretexts to carry out her designs of territorial aggrandizement, to render any move- ment of this sort on the part of ancther Power impolitie and ill-timed. But France, as we have already said, had other motives for this show of sympathy with the Eaztera Christians than she chose to assign ; and had the concessions that she demanded been refused hy the Porte, we should soon have seendhe cloven fact de- veloped. The truth is, that she had at the time two powerful reasons for rendering her anxious to pick a quarrel with the Porte if a decent.op- portunity had offered. The desire to arrestithe encroachments and to eurb the growing power of Russia on the one hand, and to obtain a foot- hoid in Asia, by which she migkt cripple the influenee of England and embarrass her free communication with her Indian possessions, were, po doubt, the real objects of this prelim nary move. Could she have decently exagge- rated her demands so as to render it impossible for the Porte to avoid a rupture, it is certain that she would not have hesitated to do so. Russia, with a keen appreciation of the de- signs of her rival, saw that there was no time to be lost in actively pushing forward tho-e projects which have formed the main features of her policy for the last century and a half. The previous concessions extorted by her from the Porte only served as stepping stones to more exaggerated demands, and the limited power of interference in the religious affairs of the Turkish empire, obtained by the treaty of Kainardji was made the basis of the peremptory condition of the spiritual protectorship over twelve millions of Ottoman subjects. Au- dacious and unscrupulous as were these new pretensions of Russia, France at least had no right to complain of them. She had set the example of giving a fanatical coloring to her political objects, and if she did not push the latter to their full extent, it was owing less to her modesty than to the difficulty of estab- lishing plausible grounds for them. She had no antecedent rights of prescription that would have justified her before Europe in in- sisting upon more than she obtained; and hay- ing got all she asked, she was obliged to assume an appearance of contentment. The previous conduct of Fngland with re- gard to Turkey, presents in a no less hy 29- critical light the grounds of her intervention in the present quarrel. In the credit accorded tothe English Cabinet for its alleged disincli- nation not to entertain the proposals of the Ozar for the partition of that country, it seems to have been entirely overlooked that this idea was neither a very novel nor a very sho one to the English mind, [t should not be for- cotten that in 1807, when France and England were engaged in hostilities, and when it was red that the Porte, which was then at war with Russia, would become anally of France, the English government resolved not only to force the Sultan to declare peace, but to con- tract an alliance with Russia. It even went se far as to insist upon the expulsion of the French ambassador from Constantinople, the oceupation of the forts of the Darda- nelles by British troops, and the di on of the Turkish fleet for England, whilst the pro- vinces 6f Moldayia and Wallachia were to be given to Russia. What was this but a virtual partition of the Ottoman empire between Lus- sia and England? Equally chivalrous and dis- interested was the conduct of the latter in lending her aid to that disgraceful and coward- ly act—the destruction of the Turkish fleet at Navarino.

Proeress or THE New Potrrican PartiEs,— We have heretofore given interesting informa- tion as to the organization of the teetotal or Maine law party in this State. By present indications, this party will gain a large number of votes in the country. We give in to-day’s Heratp a condensed summary of the progress of the revived native American party—now known by the singularly inexpressive title of “Know Nothings.”” It appears, by these statistics, that the Native party has risen from its ashes, and that the body which, has lain almost torpid since eighteen hundred and forty-seven, has been galvanized into something like vigor ; that it has assumed the form of a society, working in secret against all foreigners and naturalized citizens ; that those terrible fellows, the Jc- suite, are receiving severe blows; and that the ultimate object of the natives is the utter an- nibilation of any power that the Roman Cath- olic clergy may have, or may be supposed to have, in this republic. The Know Nothings have shown their power ia several of the Atlantic cities and large towns ad- jacent.to the sea coast. They are now prepar- ing for a demonstration at the national capital, beneath the shadow of the White House, and under the very nose of Congress. The Secre- tary of the Treasury, it is stated, has threatened to Brensonize every clerk who may vote the native ticket, or in any way compromise himself with that party. The Judge of the Marine. Court in this city was assaulted in the street on Thursday morning, and he said that the persons who showed so little respect for the official ermine were Know Nothings, We are informed that the agents of the Know Nothings are travelling all over the country, installing new lodges and spreading their peculiar princi- ples by every possible means. They will par- ticipate in the elections soon to be held in Washington and Philadelphia, and they are confident that they will be able to sweep those cities.as nicely as Mr. Genin, with his celebrated house brooms, cleaned Broadway. . The new native party promises to run a suc- ceseful race, for a brief period. The old par- ties are. out of joint, and @ great many voters will join in the last political frotic mercly asa plearant pastime. Old cliques will be broken up, to he sure; but then the same old hacks will be found controlling the new ones. Rat ting in polities has come te be considered as a alight mitdemeanor only; witness the goneval amnesty to Cochrane, Van Buren, and the otlier patriots who, in eighteen hundred and fifty-two repented of sins commitied in eighteen huadred and forty-eight; they returned to their father’s Louse and Marcy killed (he fitted calf for thera, aithough he did not give such of thont as ye- ceived foreign appointments the best raiment. Now that the Nebraska bill bas become 4 | law, we advise the politicians to take a look at the Know Nothings. They promise to be an important clement in the comivg elections, and as such they need watching. {nu this State they promise io share supremacy with the Maine law porty only. ‘ PERSECUTION ov ine Genes tm Torey Asp Eeyri.—It will be seon by our correxpond- ence from Alexandria, which appears in ans ther part of to-day’s paper, that the ‘unforta- nate Greeks who chanced to be resident in Egypt when the Sultan’s decre: orlering the expulsion of that people from his dominions, within the brief period of Jifteeu days, arrived, have been anbjected to the most eruel and un- justifiable persecutions, in conseyuence of the additionally harsh interpretation given to it by the Egyptian authorities. Applications were mace in vain to the dierent consular authori- ties to take them under their protection; and it was only when our own cousul, Me. Edwin de Leon, energetically interposed in their Wehalf, that some faint show of sympathy was manifested by these functionaries, Mr. de Leon's conduct drew forth a warm testimonial of gratitude, in the shape of an address from the Greck committee, which was presented to him previous io their depaMure; and his be- haviour on this occasion, coupled with his firmness in refusing to deliver up to the requi- sition of Austria Captain Trumagalli, a captain in Garihaldi’s Roman legion, and his private secretary, who claimed his protection, has given the people of Alexandria a high estimate of the American character. j Tue Prick or Frovr.—Imrorration ov Breapsiures. — Breadstuffs yesterday contin- ued quite firm, and commanded prices which would, if European supplies existed, justify importations from that quarter. Common to straight State brands of four now command 39 25 a 89 50; and prime white Genesee wheat was worth $2 50 per bushel, Lo 1836 we im- ported large quantities of Mediterraneyn wheat, at about $2 per bushel, We then bal no Cauadian transit, or warehousing laws, as we have at present. We cannot now import from Europe, but we have commenced importing from Canada for domestic consumption. During the past week some 4,000 to 5,000 barrels Canadian flour was taken out of bond, duty paid, for domestic consumption, at about $9 a S9 50 a $9 75 per barrel, closing at $9 50 a $975, The article sells in bond at about $8 57, and within a weck some 30,000 to 40,000 barrels have been ‘purchased for export to England and the British provinces, at $8 25 a $8 37, The difference in price, caused by the duty, about $1 25 a $1 37 per barrel. Should prices experience any material addi- tional advance, Canadian flour, chiefly pro- duced in the upper province, must enter largely into domestic consumption in competition with tint of native production, for which payments will have to be made chiefly in cash, as we send very little. produce or merchandise to Conada in return. Extra brands of Genesee four for, family nee now sella at $12 75 a $12. once undeceive the world as to the honesty and | Progress ef En@delity tn the United States— On Friday last, the friends of Columbia Col- lege and the relatives of the students who at- tend that institution were taken by surprise by the sudden expulsion of the entire sophomore class. The cause of this sweeping measure was the indecorous behavior of the sophomores at the class of chemistry. These gentlemen, it seems, were in the habit of firing torpedoes and enjoying other like pastimes while the clase was in session; and every attempt to check the practice having failed, the trustees had no alter- native but to suppress the lectures or dismiss the rebellions students. The former was ob- viously out of the question ; and the trustees were reluctantly compelled to adopt the latter as the only course consistent with the character of the institution and their own sense of official duty. The act has caused complaint in certain quar. ters; the same, we may observe, whence arose the clamor at the rejection of Dr. Wolcott Gibbs, a candidate for the chair of chemistry at the last vacancy. It is urged on behalf of the students that, private reasons disabling the incumbent of the chair of chemistry from ful- filling the duties of his office for the present, the functions were temporarily discharged by a student of last year; and that this con- stituted an indignity which ti® sophs were quite right to resent. We shall assume no censorship of collegiate dignity or honor, and shall therefore leave this proposi- tion as it stands. Waiving its abstract merits, however, we must be permitted to observe that in the collegiate institutions of Europe, the temporary discharge of professorial duties by a substitute, generally an old student, is not only not regarded as an indignity, but in many universities has become a matter of course. Many of the most eminent professors Europe has known—among others M. Guizot, and Professor Dunbar of Edinburgh—began their carcer as substitutes for professors. Nor are we aware that the fact of having learat history from the one or Greek from the other, while they filled this subordinate position, has ever been considered as a stigma on the name of a scholar. Supposing it had—supposing the sophomores of Columbia College had a fair precedent for rebelling against the lectures of an old fellow- student—there would yet be much to say with respect to the mode of rebellion suitable to the ease. Gentlemen have one way of acting, clowns another: men evince their feelings in one way, boys in.another. When the students of the College de France rose in a body with closed lips and stern faces, and marched slowly out of the hall, rather than imply adhesion to the suspension of their favorite professor by listening to his successor—it was contended that they acted as men and gentlemen, and we are inclined to think they did. Had they tes- tified their feelings by uproarious laughter dur- ing the lecture, by cearse jokes, or by firing crackers in the lecture room, they would have acted like boys, and would have been rightly expelled or otherwise punished, The late sophomores of Columbia doubtless took this into consideration when they delibe- rately disobeyed the solemn warning of the President. We trast that, now they are free “from collegiate thraldom, their private con- science as young 1en of whom much was ex- pected bears them out in what they have done. And, afier {he samples of philesophy and mo- rajily which appeared in print at the time of the discussion with respect to Dr. Wolcott Gibbs’ election, we should net be surprised if the poor lads really thought they were right. They Were theu told that the Trustees and Senate were bodies entiiled to ne respect, wad that the laws of the college Lad been vivlated by the election of Dr. Renwick’ssuccessor. They were admonithed that the laws of the college inter- posed no obstacle to the installation of an in- fidelin any of the professional chairs ; and that all other things Deing cqual, the sublimity of such a spectacle ina Christian land ought to winke the scale Jean towords the side of the un- | believer, ‘Thus deceived by the false Inve of toleration, it that young minds full and fire should have eagerly scized bait, and rushed headlong towards crror. The calmer voice of practical common sense wasdrowned by the shouts of the pretended liberals, and the result of the contest we fear lefl Christianity in a sad minority in the col- lege. We have now before us one of the first iMusirations of the sentiment of insubordina- tion which the Gibbs debate engendered among the siudents. A hankering after infidelity iu the professor has most naturally Jed to an im: patience of ull restraiat and a contempt for all constituted authority among the students, persons at Washington disposed to unite for the purpose of mobbing any of the abolition or free soil members, in obedience to the advice of the administration organs, let all parties so inclined beware. These administration organs, in the end, may turn State’s evidence against them, and send them to the penitentiary. If the administration itself has proved faithless to its professions and promises upon principles, there is certainly no reliance to be placed in its organs when they hiat to outsiders that it would be agreeable to the President and his Cabinet to have two or three abolition Senators mobbed in the streets of Washington. Don’t trust them, City Intelligence. Exgisk Commasionens.—This board is still engaged, yes- terday being the second day for the Fourteenth ward. The entire board was present—the Alderman, Jobn Kelly, and the three Councilmen, Peter Moneghan, Thomas Far- ren, and Henry Slevin. On Friday, the frst day for this ward, 196 licenses were granted, of which number seven- teen were to females. Yesterday, 116 were granted, mal the aggregate number given to this ward, 312.

Religious services, and a sabbath school, will be conducted each Sabbath, morniug and evening, in the spacious tent of the City Temperance Alliance, cor- ner of Seventh avenue ‘and Thirtecath street. Preaching usually by the city pastors. At the close of the eveniag services one hour will be devoted to exhortation and prayer, in which Christian brethren of all denominations are invited to participate. Gen.

ProvoseD RevowwTion iN THE OMNINUS Business—Repoc- TION OF FARR FKOM SIX TO Taner CENTS.—Among-the na- merous strises which have taken place recently, perhaps the most important, 60 far as its consequences’ aro con- cerned, is that of the atage drivers employed by Jimmer- son & Beers, proprietors of the Dry Dock line. Properl, speaking, this movement cannot be called a strike, as 1 criginated, not in a demand from the employes for higher wages, but was an act of resistance on their part against an attempt of their employers to reduce their | salary from nine dollars a week to seven anda half, Nine dollars is, we believe, the almost uniform rate paid to drivers on the different lines: and when we consider unreasonable. They are exposed to all weather—the freezing blasts of winter, and the intense heat of sum. mer—and for ten hours a day, their work, which is of the most wearisome and monotonous character, never ceases. When informed of the intention of their employers to reduce their wages, the drivers exprested their determination to leave their employment, and, on consultation among themselves, they furtuer de: termined to commence on their own account. They can- not, they say, see any reason why the business should be monopolized by cozpanies, or Why individuals owning a single cmndbus sheuld not engage in it. ‘They propose, therefore, to take ont licenses and to run independent Tines in opposition to their former employers, and to reduce the fare from six to three cents. Hers is at once arevolution in this particular business, which may be attended with the most important. results to the Now York public. The establishment of the railroads reduced the fare only one cont—but here is an independent move- ment on the part of the drivers themselves, which goes ahead of anything ever attempted in this city in the way of cheap travelling. Arrangements are at present in Progress for running tho new line, and we have no doubt ‘thot on account of its cheapness it will be largely patron ized by the travelling publfe. Asa matter of secommo- dation it will posscss mauy advantages over the other lines, for, as the license will be similar to the ordinary carrioge license, they will not be compelled to keep to the same route constnntly. Thus, in rainy weather, they cen turn off the route for a few blocks, should any of their passengera desito it. Lot us by al moans have the new line, for it will he, if succesefal, the means of reducing the present rate of fares over the whole city, which is ‘a consummation devoutly to be wished.’” ‘MUSIOA1 PERFORMANOES IN CHAMBERS STREET.—The usually modest, sedate and quiet character of Chambers street was thrown off its equilibrium the other evening, by an exhibition of a rather novel and anvusing description. A crowd had gathered before a house near Wes: Broadway to witness the performance of one of its inmates, n gen- tleman, on the hand organ. ‘The instrument was support- ed by ifs owner, while the debutant, for we supposo it was his ee ance in the character, turned the handle. this joint stock arrangement nigger melo dies, sentimental airs and selections from oper: produced, while the crowd luoked on wi mingled astonishment and merriment. & smiled erconragement from open wi Jullien himself might have envied th led the efforts ut the new organ fessed 10 be ty the secret satd t is not to be wondered | of enthusiasm | the | With creeds and doctrines it is not our pro- vince to meddle; mt certain it is that iree- digion, anywhere ond at any time, is sure to be followed Ly lawlessness, The sophomores of Columbia College afford the las! verification of the truth of the statement, Their expulsion is another event in the hi tory of American infidelity, It is not of mach importance in itself: whole classes of students have been over and over again expelled from college without injuring the world or doing any harm to any one but themselves, Bat, taken in conjunction with the cireamstances which preceded it, and the exeuse by which it is now sought to justify the offenders, it will certainly /aire se.—Dy way of a counter irritation to the n mobocrats at Poston, the Washington Cabinet organs, iucluding the official paper and the litUe Kitchen scullion, are counselling per- oual violence against the free soil Scuators anil members of the House. This, too, appears to be hy authority; but it can hardly be that the President and Caleb Cushing have so far forgotten their positions as to instigate the rising of a mob in the federal capital to prove titeir devotion to Southern interests. We rather think that the Cabinet organs are secking a little revenge upon Senators Sumner, Chase and Seward, for their votes for Senate printer, and they are attempting only to cover up their vengeance by assuminga rivalry in mobocracy | with Phillips and Parker. The violence of the anti-slavery Journals, urging tie burning of the Capitol, open treason and murder, and the obe- dience of the Boston mob to these treasonable counsels, are bad enough; but when the Cabinet and the kitchen organs of the administration attempt to stir up a mob in Washington, their good offices for their masters assume a form which is quite as repulsive and disgusting, if | not more so, than the conduct of Parker, Phil- lips and Greeley. We believe that the abominable principles | Yok abtp Area at present at the United States ou and teachings of Seward, Sumner, Chase, Gid- dings and company, lie at the bottom of this (reasonable mob at Boston; but if there are any five or ten dollars, or rome iudetinite n champagne, was depending upon the « ance Ly the gentleman of the character of s Tue Srepevte’ Cricket Maton. —Yesterday the students of the Troe Academy hell their annnal cricket match at the Red nouse; anda very preity affair it was.
