The Nevew, FROM WASH INGTON. Yesterday,n the Senate, Mr. Pettit charged Sena- tor Sunmer* with interpolating remarks into the printed report of his speech which he had never utiered, and during the explanations that followed both gentlemen exchanged the terms “false” and “falsehood.” Among the peculiarities of ‘the pre- sent Congress none is more easily distinguished than the total absence of personal respect between its members, and the vulgar tone which characterizes their individual disputations. Mr. Sumner’s course during thé Jast session was regarded by his abolition friends in: Massachusetts as entirely too tame and Spiritless; and he now seemsdetermined, as an effort is being made to consolidate the various anti-slavery factions into one solid party, to recover his lost ground, and, perhaps, put in a bid for a Presiden- tial nomination in opposition to Hale, Van Buren, Seward and Chase, in the contest to come off in 1856. His set speech yesterday, in reply to the remarks of Mr. Butler and Mr. Mason, of the day previous, will no doubt be received with rapture, especially the ingenious explanation of his assertion that he would not hesitate to violate that con- stitution he has solemnly sworn to uphold. In the House a bill for the better preservation of Hite and property from shipwrecks on the coast was introduced and referred. It provides for placing life-boats, erecting houses, &c., on the coast, at such points as experience has proved vessels approach- ing our shores are most liable to be wrecked. This Most humane measure should receive the immediate atiention of Congress. The bill providing a weekly mail between California and the AUantic States was taken up, debated, and laid on the table by a vote of eighty-four to seventy. The select committee to investigate alleged frauds in the mail steamship ser- vice are busily engaged in their dut and wil probably report some t) next week. From the thrown out something intimations that have bi highly interesting expected from the scrutiny of man stated that the Col- In Committeefof the ten million bill was resu- med. Mr. Houston replied to the objections of Mr. Benton, and in defence of the admivistration. Mr. Benton offered several amendments, which were ruled out by the chairman, but finally obtained a hearing, when he animanverted in his usual forcible style on the conduct of the government and tie Committee of Ways and Means, in withholding the correspondence liad between Mexico and the United States. At length, after an angry discussion, which was generally participated in, the bill passed in committee, under the previous question, by a vote of cne hundred and three to sixty-two.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF MONMOUTH. The anniversary of the battle of Monmouth was celebrated yesterday on the battle grounds, near Freehold, N.J. There were several military com- panies present from New York, Brooklyn, Philadel- phia and various parts of New Jersey, numbering in all about three thousand men, The concourse of #pectators was very large, being estimated at ten thousand. Owing to the oppressive heat of the sun and the danger of the citizen soldiery having acoup de soliel if they exercised themselves, the sham fight which was to have taken place was dispensed with. The thermometer stood, in the gun, above 100 degrees, and about fifty people, foldiers, men, women and children, were, during ‘the day, affected by the intense heat to fainting and sickness. We regret to record that one accident happened to mar the pleasures of the day. In firing # salute of cannon, one exploded while being charged, carrying away the left wrist and hand of Abram Coles, a member of the Lafayette<inard, of Newark. The arm was amputated a little below the elbow, and every attention is now being paid the sufferer by the inhabitants of Freehold, wher: he yet remains. A fall report of the celebration will be given to-morrow, being crowded out today by the demand of other matter upon our columns. MISCELLANEOUS, In another coluran will be found an account of the excomaunication of thétrastees of the Roman Catholic Church of St. Lonis, at Buffalo, by the Bishop of the Diocess ; also an extract from a state- ment published by the trustees as to the cour which they intend to purane in regard to the matter. Onr readers are no doubt familiar with the circum stances that have ied to this rupture, and will peruse with jpterest the article alluded to.

Our Cuban correspondence, although containing fo special facts of importance, will ye. be read with interest, as presenting a correct reflection of the present state of political feeling om the island with regard to the questions now pending between our government and Spain. The general impression ap- pears to be that, if we mean to have Cuba, we must take it by force. The Spaniards, it is said, will never consent to a Cubsn edition of the Gadsden | weaty. We sre not quite-so sure of that, Castilian pride has wonderfuliy degenerated since the days of Ferdinand and Isabella. ARPAIRS IN THE CITY. The Vion (Protestant Episeopal} Church, sitnate on the corner of Madison avenue and Thirty eighth strect, in this city, was consecrated yesterday accord- ing to the ritual of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States. The Right Rev. Dr. Wainwright, provisional Bishop-of New York, assisted by Bishop Doane, of New Jersey, and attended by thirty cler gymen, officiated-on the eccasion. The Vestrymen and Building Committee of the church attended. Bishop Doave preached avery eloquent sermon. A general description of the church, with a sketch of the sermon, will be found in our paper. A testimonial was presented last evening, in the Broadway Tabernacle, to Senator Whituey, by Put- nam Chapter No. 8 of the Order of United Ameri- cans. A very large assemblage of ladies and geutle- men were present to witness the interesting cere- movy, a sketch of which will be found in another column. Rebeilion of the Police Against the New Uni. form. The Commissioners of Police have amended section 16 of the Rules and Regulatiens for the government of the Department, and decided that the whole force is to be regularly uniform- ed. The uniform is to be a frock coat of navy blue cloth, summer trousers of browa drilling, and winter trousers of West Point gray cloth with black stripes one inch wide, black cravat, cap of navy blue cloth, and belt of plain black glazed leather. Captains and lieutenants are further to have a double breasted overcoat of navy blue cloth; and sergeants, privates and doormen a similar garment, single breasted, of sky blue army kersey. The curious in such matters will find a fuller description of the uni- form in another column. There may be differ- ences of opinion with regard to the taste dis- played in its selection; there can be none, among sensible men, with respect to the pro- priety of adopting some uniform fer the force. The additional security it affords to the public. the moral protection it constitutes to the wear- er, and the constant guarantee it presents against cowardice or neglect of duty in policemen are adyautages which cannot be questioned or gaiu- said. They have in fact been so frequently brought to public notice since the re-organiza- tion of the department commenced, that there is hardly a newspaper reader in the city, in whose mind there lingers the smallest doubt or uncertainty with regard to the absolute neces- sity of the adoption of « police uniform. The amendment just passed by the Commissioners will receive the unanimous approval of all classes save one only, That dissenting class is to be found in the ranks of the police. In our advertising co- lumns we find the following call for a meeting to protest against the uniform :— t a meet © policemen of the city of New York, ry, on Tuesday, Juae 27 on the amended rules and Beach, of the Eighth district, wa and Isaac B. skaats, of the Rieventh istrict, and Daniel P.

Able speakers will be present, meeting. "FZRA BEACH, Chairman Isaac B. Sivan } Recubintien is ! Dann P. ) The above notice affords ne clue to th. grounds assumed by the malcontents : for we ; can hardly du Mr. Beach and his friends the injustice to suppose that they fancied they | were arguing against the reform when they called it “ridiculous ond oppressive.” From other sources, however, we gather that more tangible ohjections have been advanced; the more practical of these being first, that the proposed uniform will cost money aud put the men to an unnecessary expense, anid secondly that uniform is a species of livery or badge of service degrading in its nature to the feel- ings of such high-souled individuals as those who compose the police fores of this city. We shall deal briefly with these two grounds of complaint. A uniform, it is trae, costs money; so do clothes of all descriptions. It is one of the evils to which flesh is heir to require clothes; one of the essential conditions of tailors’ oxist- ence to require food and lodging; and there- fore an obvious cotsequence, that clothes under avy circumstances must be paid for. We are not aware that navy blue coats or West Point gray trousers cost more than other coats or trousers, There is no addi- tional expense incurred for buttons. We are much mistaken if some enterprising clothier does not shortly undertake to furnish clothes according to the regulation as cheap as any other deserip- tion of the same articles—relying upon the extent of hissales for a profit. Wales, there- fore, our policemen contemplated availing themeelves of an economical fig leaf in gnis of their usual habiliments, we cannot see how the new regulations will bear unjustly on their purse. The other objection is still more fati trae that uniforms and liveries are badges of service, They indicate that the wearer is em ployed in serving his fellow man in some useful way. Butcon the high souled gentlemen who have called the meeting in the Park point out any class of their fellow citizens who are not employedin serving their fellows? What are doctors, lawyers, merchants, editors, grocers brokers and politicians, but servants of their fellow men? It is trne that these individaal are not uniformed, hecanse no useful purpose would be served by dressing doctors or brokers in the same bues and the same eut; bu they are not the less public servantson that ac- Thi count. Indeed the moment they cease to serve they cense to make money and commonly starve. Service is the honorable rule in active commu nities; exemption from service the rare, and 1 9% Unfrequently the ignominious exception It "68 deen discovered of late years by phi- Wonoptiers of a very high order, that js something degrading in that clars of ; service which is styled menial, and that Jolm, who cleans boote or drives @ car- rtage for @ master and gratifies the vanity of the latter by wearing plush of an absurd | cqior and cut in an outlandish shape, is thereby Yowered beneath his fellow man, it has not yet been satis‘actorily demonstrated to us that Jobn, who blacks boots well and faithtuily, is necessarily a worse member of society or a | lower variety of the human species than James, who cells drugs, or Peter who pleads in court. But on whichever side of this knotty ques- tion truth lie, it is clear that the ignominy which some attach to the idea of liveries springs from the fact that the service rendered by the wearer conflicts with his nataral rights asa man, and is performed at the expense of his honor or his feelings. No such notion caa be entertained with regard to the duties of a policeman. Ably aad faithfully performed, they are as honorable because as useful to society as aay that fall to the lot of maa. No one but an idiot would think of despising them. The reasons therefore which lead some to look askant at the wearer of a livery donot apply to the case of a uniform. The uniformed police- man stands in the same light as the soldier, whose uniform is adopted as essential to disei- pline, safety and order. If the one have a right to complain of his costume, the other is entitled to make the same complaint; and the there | for Brother Smith. Pity. he coulda’t take the | same ground on the Fugitive Slave law. But | the treaty bein, made, he goes for voting the supplies, because, as he says, the treaty (‘is inoperative and void” meantime for the want of money. So is Santa Anna’s treasury and his empire—so are the pockets of his associate speculators and spoilsmen. Oh! yes! vote the ten millions, appease Santa Anna and the spoilsmen, and make room for the war mes- sage on the Cuba question. Secretary Guthrie is suffering from a plethora of California gold. Ten millions at a dash gives promise of com- plete relief. The bill for t.e reduction of the revenues may be set aside. The Gadsden treaty affords the key to the exhaustion of the treasury. Make way for the spoilemen, Make way for the Smiths. Tue Mission To Cerra AMERICA—Major Borland, with a general sort of roving commis- sion over the Central American States, having returned home in disgust, it is understood that upon a mature consideration of the subjectin Cabinet council, the administration have re- solved to discontinue the Central American mission for the present. While down in that part of the world, Major Borland made a treaty with Nicaragua, amounting to the annexation of the Mosquito kingdom to the said State, and the ignominious rejection of that treaty by Gov. Marcy was doubtless the principal cause of the Major’s indignant relinquishment of his office. He left under the idea that the Monroe police who now remonstrate against the orders of the Commissioners will meet with little sympathy so long as our army is resigned to wear a uniform. Until the New York National Guard repudiate their coats as unworthy of freemen, people will always believe them good cnough for the police. Bripery anp Druccep Liquor uP at Con- corp—CaLL FoR THE Marne Liqvor Law.— The telegraphic despatch which we published yesterday, from Concord, is suggestive of a frightful state of disorder, bribery and corrup- tion in the New Hampshire Legislature. ‘A committee of five members has been appointed toinquire into certain charges made against the coalitionists, in attempting to kribe mom- bers, and of drugging their liquor!’’? And this is the discord to which things are brought in the city of Concord. Bribing members and drugging their liquor! What members? and what are they bribed for? Lotus look into this business a little, It calls for investigation. The despatch says the “coalitionists” have been arraigned for the alleged offences. Who are the coalitionists? They constitute the anti- administration alliance of whigs, democrats and free soilers proper, on the spoils and Nebraska questions. The parties, therefore, who have suffered from drugged liquor and bribery must be the administration Nebraska spoils demo- cracy of the Legislature. How did they come to suffer from this drugged liquor? Were they “taken in and done for” like Jobn B. Gough, or did they lift “the poisoned chalice” of their own free will? Were they freely consorting at the time of their absorption of the aforesad drugged liquor with designing conlitionists, in some rumhole? or how? Were the barkeepers of the establishments patronized on these occa- sions by the orthodox democracy, or anybody else eonnected with the said establishments, parties to these tricks upon the faithful breth- reu? These are important questions, and worthy of a committee of five. Then, again, we should like to know what was the liquor hai was drugged. Was it Con- cord French brandy, Granite State whiskey, or common lager bier? And what was the drug used? Was it opium, coculus indicus, strych nine, or Harry Hibbard’s speech on the Ne- braska bill? And how was the imposition de- tected?—By the victims of the villanous decuc- tion falling asleep, instead of becoming com- fortably intoxicated? or did the drugged liquor develope its poisonous ingredients in the fu- rious ravings of the snflerers against General Pierce, against Douglas, Nebraska, Joha Coch- rane, Paul R. George and Col. Forney? All these questions, we trust, will be suggested to the committee of five; for this dragged liquor should be analyzed to the very bottom of every suspicious demijohn, whiskey cask or bor barrel. According to the testimony ¢! hard shells aud soft shells, who have visited Concord since the Presidential election, the politicians as..m- bling there are in the habit of innocently drinking ‘drugged liquor” in considerable quantitics. If we are not misinformed, the Prince of the soft sheils never tasted the French brandy of Concord—neither the light kind nor the dark—after his first visit to that thriving inland village. If these things be so, (and why should they not be so”) they would soem to con- vey the idea that the liquor sellers of Concord, from purely mercenary motives, are the parties responsible to the Legislature for the drugged liquor sold to its members, They may have seasoned it a little too stitily in their efforts to drug ‘he liquor according to the excitement on the Nebraska question. Any how, we are decidedly of opinion that the liquor sellers, and not the coalitionists, are the guilty parties; and that if found guilty, they shonld be pin- ished by the immediate passage of the Maine “Liqnor Jaw, to take effect forthwith, The evils resulting from bad brandy, home- made gin, and bald faced whiskey, hot from the still-house, are manifold and disastrous, often involving the innocent in the most la- mentable sufferings and fatalities, while the Guilty escape. Therefore, if the New Hamp- shire committee of five succeed in fixing the crime of dragging the liquor of the members of the Legislature upon the taverns, corner groceries, or oyster cellars, give them the Maine Liquor law; for otherwise there is no safety for the future. Let the late offences in question pass unpunished, and we may next expect to hear of the poisoning of every ad- ministration member of both houses, through ‘he agency of dragged liquor. It is, no doubt, entirely owing to the absence of a stringent liquor law that the lawmakers themselves at Concord are imposed upon with spurious drinks ; while, with the Maine law in force, who knows but that resolutions fally endorsing the Nebraska bill, might be passed nem. con? The Maine law is the thing for Concord. Gere Syren ap roe Ganapew Tepary.— Gerrit Smith iga wag. He is doing vastly better in the House than anybody could have expected. He almost went in for the Nebraska bill—he is in for the acquisition of Cuba with- ont delay, and asks to be connted among the filibusteros, if anybody thinks proper so to count him. And in the same speech he goes the whole length for the Gadsden treaty, He does not want to see the correspondence—he does not care to look behind the record—Santa Anna, Gen Gadsden, and the Senate, havo made the ireaty—it is a law, and that is enough doctrine was to be revived into active lig by this administration, but has returned with the conviction that he went off under a slight mis- take. The British now can have it all their own way in Central America, There is every reason to suspect that for fear of offence to her Moajesty’s emissaries and agents in Honduras, the overtures for annexation to the United States from that independent State will be as coolly set aside as Major Borland’s treaty. The Monroe doctrine is defunct. For particulars inquire of Major Borland. Comrierion OF THE RaltkoaD OonnExiON Between New ALBANY AND MICHIGAN City.—The citizens of New albany, Indiana, haye made preparations for a grand banquet for ten thousand persons to, be given on the fourth of July, to celebrate the completion of the continuous line of railway between that city and Michigan. Invitations haye been forwaséed to all distinguished citizens through- out tbe State, and an intimation has at the same time been conveyed to them that the people of New Albany will tender the hospitality of their homes to such per- #ons as may honor the city with a visit on that day.

Her specie on freight amounted to $284,837. ARRIVAL OF THE Figst STEAMER OF TRE Italian Line — The Sicilian screw steamer Sicilia, the first of a line to run between this port and tho Neapolitan dominions, a:- rived yesterday. She is a fine iron vessel, of 1,200 tons burthen, built on the Clyde, by the same firm who con- structed the iron mail steamers running between South. awpton and Alexandria, Egypt. Fora first passage, she bas mace very good time, being but seventeen days from Gibraltar, and having experienced a good deal of bad weather and head winds. She is owned by « Sicilian Company, called the Sicilian Transatlantic Transportation Company. Should the enterprise be sufficiently encou- raged, they intend to add another vessel by the com- mencement of next year, and keep up a regular commu- nication between this city and Palermo. It is contem: plated on the outward passage to touch only at Gibral- tar, but homeward each vessel will stop for one day at Gibraltar, Marseilles, Genoa, Leghorn, Civita Vecchia (port of Rome), Naples, Messina (to get what freight may offer), and thence to Palermo. It is supposed that at each of these intermediate ports, as soon as the line be- comes known, a large quantity of the productions of the South of France, and of the Italian Sates, consisting of silk and straw manufactures, &c , will be shipped by these vegsels, as affording 9 more direct transit than by the other European steam lines. The Sicilia is com- manded 'y Capt. Caflero, represented as an experienced sailor, and holding ® commission in the Neapolitan navy. Her day of departure has not yet been determined on bat it will be probably in the neighborhood of three weeks. As this line affords the most direet steam com- munication between this country ani Italy, it will Itkely be largely patronized by Italian tourists and others, bound to the various ities on tke Mediterranean, Lavsicney.—Tuesday forenoon shortly after 11 o’slock Messrs, Lawrence & Foulkes iaunched from their shipy.rd, foot of North Fifth street, the mammoth steamboat Queen of the East, built for the Norwich and New Lon- don StezmboatCompany.

THE POWER OF POLICE MAGISTRATES, ‘TO THE EDITOR OF THR HERALD. Jone 26, 1854, Sir—The comments in your paper of this date, on the discharge of a poor woman at the Jefferson Market: police office, a ¢ not warranted by the facts. A woman had been confined in the colle over ight, on a charge of throwing garbage into the public street. This woman was brought before me on the morning succeeding her arrest. She pleaded ignozance of the law as her excuse, expressed her contrition, and a determination not to offend again. The woman bad a family, as I was inform: ed, from whom she had been detained all night. Con- sidering the nature of the offence, that her actual com mission of the offence had yet te 'e proved, and that her farther imprigonment might inflict a greater injury on her family than the temporary evil sought to be reme- died, T discharged ber with a severe Teprimand. After her discharge and departure, I remarked that it hid some time since been # question in the office as to the extent of the power of the magistrate in like cases, At the same time I did not theo, nor do I now, eateriain any doubt as to the proper exercise of the authority gen me by law. Iwas solely actuated by motives of umapity, and in tho full belief that the panishment al ready eutfered by this poor woman would effect every useful purpose, The alleged extract made from the report of some police station, and which furnishes the text of your report, car- ries with it itsown severest condemnation. It in to be regretted that your columns have necome the recipient of the combined vulgarity and malignity which it eoy- tains. Your he obedient servant, DANIEL W.

An occurrence of an extraordinary character took place on board the packet ship Siddons, lying in the stream, | off Bedloe’s Islan, preparatory to her leaving for Liver- | "ices pool. A German sailor, a band on board the vessel, was over the side, scraping it, and, not doing it 80 quietly as to satisfy the second mate, Frederick Leonard, he threat. ened to duck him, and eventually directed the men to | let the rope slack, which they aid, and the German sailor was lowered into the water, and was drowned.
