TRE BOARDOF COU CILMEN. { There was ther an omusn: Gisen sion in the H Board yesterday afve nooo, in the course 0° e@heb , mony very sertions binys were said. The Trish, Germans and Koo» Notbings came in collision, bat no serions conreqa nees rral¢d therefrom, aad at the sdjournment every ove seemed to be ip perfect good humor with himself and ths rest of mansiad. The subje t uncer censideration was the selestioa of newspapers ia which to publish the Corpo ation notices. The Beard finally conclude! to adverthe in seven of the city papers, and then adjourned, EXPEDITING THE MAILS BETWEEN BOSYON AND NEW YORK, About three montos since the Postmaster of Boston gave notice that by a Lew arrangement he would from that time forh ba evabled to exvedite the morning mail from tat city to Now Yor’, snd that it would reach this cit) at least one hour ear of Sewar] an bis co-federste.. It involves seeret con ition egains: sm open disorgsciser, avd betrays @ gool deal of that elementary power of the batlot tox neces ary t» carry ite designs into eff ct.

Nor are we satisfied thet the Know Nothings wit} limit their hostile operations against tae srch-agitator to the doivgs of the conv-ution We are admonished, to the contrary, that be 1s to be followed up in the elections, with the view of such a Legislature as will oust him from his place in the United States Senate. And why vot? The Kaow Nothings are but a short Jived society, upon a false and sandy founda- tion They do not stand upon the rock of the constitution. With the mystery which eveir- cles them, their power will disappear. A taste or two of the spoils, ano there will be mutiny Her than usual.

Wm, H, Seward and the Koow sothings— war Wg Prlmary Akecuvu_Nico Wore for syracuse, Oar Seward organs are significantly quiet concerning the result of the bellicose elections in this city on Tuesday for delegates to the Whig State Convention at Syracure. Aod yet we venture to say, that a more important and ominous result has not. attevded any other + electicns whatever, great or small, which have { taken place in this city during the last ten years. The issue was between the Seward aad tMeanti-Seward whigs, aud the arch agitutor hes been signally deteated. The defeat would umount to nothing, had the election turned upon S-ward versus Fill- more, aod the old per-ooal aad spoils issues between them of 1849-"50. But new, extraor- dinary, unexpected aud radical issees of the most startling and revolutionary character, entered into this prelimivary skirmi+h, and casr.edit with @ high hand. The dreadful ad wystericus Know Nothing- did the work. They have defined their position. They have fulfill ed our prediction, The anti-Seward delegate- elected from thie city were elected by the Kuow Nothings. The order have thus dis closed a deliberate organization against Sew ard and his political programme, and his po- litical aspirations, The Know Nothings had previovsly thrown out some very broad hints tv this effect; and this is the beginning of their realizatioa. Bat why this mysterious war against Seward? Way should he be crushed by the Know Nothings! Do not hie political opinions and theirs run in the same general channel of hustility to Pierce and the Kitchen Cubinet democracy? Very tikely. But the ground of their hostility to the acministrution is the basis of their opposition to Seward. It is agaiast the uuscrapu ous af- fection of the arch-agitator for the Irish Catho- lies, and aga'n-t his free so:} and abolition co- ulition schemes tbat the intractable Know No- things have planted their batteries. The Jong continued and persevering attentions of Seward towards our veneravle Archbishop Hughes; the adoration which our wily Senator has always manifested for the learned prelate ; the disinterested and loving desire which he hus always shown in behalf of the {rish, the Catho- lies, their rights and their votes, soon made him a shining mark for the Know Nothings. His speech in the Senate, making a merit of necessity, by casting his defiance into their teeth, was tantamount to an opew declaration of war. The war has commenced, and in the first preliminary skirmish the bueh-rangers of Mr. Seword are put to fli. ht. But how is the great champion of the Sara- toga coalition, and the disinterested de- fender cf Archbishop Hughes and his eburch and his flock—how is this can- ning and adroit thimblerigger to be reached? He has not tie remotest idea of pressing his claims as the whig candidate for Govervor this fall. His friends and his organs earnestly desire it to be understood that he is entirely ont of the way, and that be and they are as ready for harmony and conciliation upon this point as they are to keep his quarrel with the Know Nothings ou: of the canvass. How then, ishe to be reached at Syracu-e? The answer is plain, though it will be somewhat as- tonishing to the uninitiated of the Saratoga coalition, We have reason to belicve that the Know Notbings will first endeavor to “crush out” good Master Seward, by breaking up at Syra cure the great Northern whig and abolition al- liance pre-arranged at Saratoga. It is his pro gramme for the Presidency, for an embittered sectional contest between the North and the South, with such a generai onslaught upon the institution of slavery as mast drive the South ern States to eecession and disunion. Ali that is vow required to enter broadcast upon thix programme is the adoption by the Syracuse Whig State Convention, of the platform and alliance projected at Suratoza. Avd to sesure this cohesion, the Saratoga co.fe lurates hold another convention, six days after the w hig af fair at Syracuse, Thus hemmed in upon the front ani in the rear, by the free soi ond abolition alliance, and with the Know Nothings upon their right flauk what are the poor whigs to do? Willit be safe to abandon tbe allies and the fortuaes of Sewardism in this position, for the uncertatu support of the Know N.things. This is the ection, The whigs must anewer it for then selves, But it is rignt that they shonli under. -tand this importaut fact—that in filing iato line with the programm. and the allies of Wm H. Seward they lose the support of the Know Nothinge. Tis is a nies job of work for Syra eure, Consulting thus “the sabstance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen,” we begin to entertain a licely fsith that Sew. ard, bis plans, and his aapirations, will all be dished at Syracuse—ihat the managera of the saratoga coal tion will be overral:d and para \y zed by a pervading fear among the whigs ot the my sterious Know Nochings—that the grand Northero abolition crusave in behalf of the smoitiens and unscrupulous demagogue of An »urn will be broken up by the Marplots of the «nti Seward conrpirators, and that every taing, as tetween the whigs and the free soil aud anti- slavery factionr, will be cut adrift again, and all thrown into ‘‘ confusion worse confounded,” rom the failure of their efforts at a bargain. This ia our interpretation of the whig primy nary elections in this city the other day; and o this view the reaait is of the highest and ost comprehensive -ignifeanee. It embraces smong them—rebellion and dispersion. But for prelimimary training for the benevolent insti- tutic as at Sing Sing and Blarkeell’s I-land. Ch: sthaw rtreet is always the sastiest place in t‘own—all the filth from the Bowery and Park row is poured intoit, and a grand depot for the mapufact.ry of dirt pies has alwaya been established in the valley neor Pearl street. The thoroughtare is always crowded, and if it were entirely unobjectionable we shoald still need another. The extension of Canal street will satisfy this want. We shall have a Broadway acroes the city, and in a few years we opiue that it will rival even that great avenue—the pride of New Yorkers, Canal street, on the west side, is now a pleasant street, especially on thease bright September mornings, when the millioers are bury opening their “fall styles;” and when the extensiou is completed the buildings on the east side will be new, beuwutifal and srately. Our fellow-citizens on the east side of the town will be no longer ostracised, aud we can see their pleasant faces, free from the the present, they are as described by aa old | mud of Chatham street, which will be as great lawyer, “Young America broke loose upos 4} a luxury to us us to them. Many people oa epree.” If, while on this frolic, they eball suc- ceed in killing off for once and forever, our arch-agitator and his treasonable aapiratioas, they will have rendered at least one glorious victory to the country, War bas been declared against him. Hostili- ties pave commenced. The first brush is ausp'- cious; and we look to the Srracuse Conveutioa for something still more decisive. AJl bands, aboy t Srock Operators anp Trem Gawe—About six weeks ago, Erie Railroad stock sold at fifty dollars the share. It had tambled from eight, to fifty ma few weeks, and somebody lust by that decline some three millions of dollars ‘The loss fell heavily on Wall street; and several broken-hearted bulls were obliged te repndiate ther contracts, and retire to spend a life of peoury on their beggarly savings—some ten or twelve thousand a year secured on their wives. Their friends were still plunged in mourning .on their account— the unhappy sufferers were still sym- pathising with their creditors over iced hock and woodcock suppers—when that wretched craft, Erie, took another lurch, and never stopped falling till it reached twenty-niue. There was then a fresh batch of sufferers; and the bull who had been slaughtered on Erie at fifty could afford to condole with the calf who bad bled on the same stall at twenty-nine. More champagne, and more woodcock to enable the poor avimals to bear up against the affhction. Sonobly had some of them acted, that when their contracts were “not met’’—to use the gen- le language of the street—it was found that reveral had actually left their wives and families to starve on five or six thousand a year. It is true that such samples ef the Aristides are rare. Ten thousand per annum is the proper allow- auce of & broken speculator’s wife. Time went on. Somebody shaved the Erie notes; ond “the boys,” having more money in their pockets than they ever saw before, sold rather more stock than even the Erie board ever seued. Then the old heads in the street fell a cuying ; and the squeeze among the bears was dreadful. The poor animals coulda’t get an Erie certificate in their paws for love or money. What they had sold at thirty they were glad to buy in at forty; losing ten dollars a share Erie went to forty-six; and the bears resolved to take a leaf out of the bull book. They paid buck a fair per centage of the money they ha: guined when the stock was falling; but the res: they invested iu lands and houses. It couldn’: be expected that a man would sell a house which be had only bought a few weeks before, to satify @ contract; so the bears politely Geclined delivering any more stock. It is to be feared that their wives are famishing on some miserable pittance of three or four thougend a year; and that this winter, they will be actually reduced to take not more than three friends.to the opera at five dollars a head. Talk of the sufferings of the working classes! Find, if you can, in the Five Points or any where elae, distress so acute ns that which the bankrupt bulls and bears endure. when their means do not allow them to have their usua) dinner party, with covers for Uirteen, on Wednesdays. We propose to the geographical and mis- the west side, who never travelled east of Broadway, will now be found with their faces turned toward the rising sun. New York has heretofore been like two cities, with Broadway as the dividing line; the extension of Canal street will reunite the several sections. We trust that the property holders will consult thefr true interests, and throw no more ob- stacles in the way of this much needed im- provement. Carramy Gisson’s Case—IMpectuiry oF Marcy and Betmont—By a Washington despatch and the articles from the Echo Universel of the Hague, which are else- where published, it will be seen that Capt. Gibeon’s war with the Datch is rapidly spproaching a climax. On the one hand, the Dutch government positively refuse to grant bim ony indemaity for his past wroogs; on the other, the who!e collection of documents in the case, including the treasonable l-tter on which the prosecution was founded, have, by an ex- troordinary oversight of the Datch authorities, passed from their Sends into thoze of Mr. Gib- son, who of course refuses to surrender them. Both parties are thus foiled in their aims: Me. Gibson in his demand for money : the Dutch in their attempt to vindicate the course pur- eued by their colonial officers. Of the two, the latter are perhaps in the worst perdicament, for the whole machivery of their government in India. which they have always so vigilantly concealed from the knowledge of the world, is explained in the documents handed to Cupt. Gibson. These will doubtless find their way into the new-papers before long, and we shall all have the satisfaction of being able to judge the authorities of Batavia on their owa evi- dence, Still, annoying as such exposure will prove to the Dutch cabinet, it will afford but a sorry consolation to Capt. Gibson. Such wrongs as imprisonwent, persecution, and the destruc- tion of a man’s lawful business by arbitrary meaeures admit of no Other compensation tuan damages in money. To prove that the Dutch officers in Batavia are dishonest, tyrannica), and unprincipled will not supply Captain Gibson wito bread. To stamp them as odious miscre- ants will not reeture to Captain Gibson the sta- tion and property he enjoyed before they robbed him. Nor can it be pretended that his refnsal to eurrender the private documents which found their way into his hands has invalidated the strength of hisclaims. He cound not possibly have divined that the papers which were sent him by the Foreign Office were sent him by mistake; and his interence—that the govern- ‘mext intended to drop the prosecution and hand him the record, just as a creditor releases his debtor by eurrendering his bond—was on the whole as reasonable an interpretation of the matter as any. That he should have hastened to transmit these conclusive proofs of his innocence to the friends in America who had taken up his cause, was the most natural thingin the world. He cannot re- turn papers which are not ia his possession: and if he had them still, it would be very ques- tionable whether he is. bound by any principle of equity or law to surrender them. On the whole, therefore, the question of sionary societies, when their next batch of | Captain Gibson’s claim to indemnity is as clear agents return from the interior of Africa, or the deserts ef Bokbara, to send a trusty and vigilant man to the unexplored wilds lying between the north side of Wall street and the south side of Beaver, including the great Zabara Imown as the Merchants’ Exchanse. Let him be instructed to inquire into the coa- dition of the natives of those unknown regions, their habits, usages and language; and let bim above all try to find out whether any stray notions of religion or morality have ever found their way into those parts, as the rare travellers who have touched there report a singular absence of those conditions of whole- some rocial existence. A faithful accouat of the curious tribes which are said to inhabit that terra incognita would be qui'e as inte- resting as a narration of travel in the wilds of Tartary, or the most distant island in the Pacitie. Ciry Improvements—Exrension or Canau Srrekt—An unanimous decision has been given from the bench of the Supreme Court in favor of the extension of Canal street, aad there is now hardly any doubt that this im portant improvement will be carried throngh svecersfully. The street, as continued to the East River, will be nearly two miles in Jength and eighty feet wide, the width of Broadway; is will be the second thoroughfare of the city in point of bean y an! utility. Objection was wade by some of the pro, erty holders on the tine of this improvement, on account of the burtben of the asses ments, but there w.l1 pro- batly te no appeal from ths decision of the Supreme Court. It is a remirkable fact that ihe seme objections have been urged by property holders against every notable im. provement which has been made in New York srreets during the last ten years; and it is “till more remarkable tha: in every instance the objectors have been enriched by the im provement; sometimes the investment has re torned to them quadrupled, The expense of the extension of Canal street will exceed a million, but the benefits which wi] reeult to the city cannot be estimated in volars and cents, For many years respectanle jrople—Jadies especially—residing on the east ade of the city have been cnt off from free sommonication with Broadway and their friends in the western section of the metropolis. For instanee, the troteorr from Bast Broad way to the Park is full of annoyances aod dongers, especially to women, as it is made ary vounter-plot against the great disunion plot " the haunt of numbers of idle youth, undergoing end plain ds it ever was: and our government is obviously bound to see that it is obtained. If there were no other circumstances to bear in mind than the bare outrage on Captain Gibson, it would be the duty of the administration to insist on reparation. As it is, a principle of serious moment is in- volved in the case. The safety of American citizens travelling or trading in the Dutch East Indies depends in a very large measure on the issue ofthe present dispute For years and years the Dutch have lorded it over our eoun- trymen in Batavia, committing all sorts of high-handed outrages with perfect impunity. It is time this wore stopped. Captain Gibson’s case should be made an example, a precedent for the future. We bave not the smallest hope that this will bedone. Mr. Marcy is far too busy organizing buccaccering expeditions against defencelese cities in Central America to toink of our rights in Butavia. For the sake of bravado, he is ready to burn a helpless town to avenge Mr Borland, who ricwly merited far heavier pun. isbment than he received at the hands of the people of San Juan: but when a real case of in- jury occurs. bis policy is weak, shuffling and timorous. Before apetty miserable opponent like the city of San Juan, Marcy is brave as a lion: but the Dutch find him weak as a lamb His nomince, Mr. Belmont, is quice as useful to the country. Ths exchange office he has set up is flourishing, and the Rothschilds use him in consequence of his quality as an American citizen to transact their busiaess with the belligerent powers. He thinks far more of making a few thousands by negotiating loans than of enforcing the rizhts of American citi- zens. This was fo be expected. Tue Mrsrertovs Exrepition—The seamer Benjomin Franklin, which was prepared to g> out with General Paez, against Venezoela, bas been embargoed by the autroritics of the United States, by ¢ © request of the Hon, R.

This “situation” closes the second act, and ic the third we find St. Marc giving up bis wife voluntarily, because he is persuaded that she loves the Prince, From her cone uct it is really difficult to ascertain who she loves.

Msre’s arme—virtue, such us it is, is rewarded, and vies, in thy person of o very inconsistent villain, is suitably ppoished. The langusge never rises above common place, and the audience 1s bored with an ocean of verbiage in the first and second acta. The ch racter of St. Mars is the only one in the piece that seems at all natural, although Mr. Conway made a good part out of Gismando. Mr. Davepport’s popularity carried the piece off, last nigut; but badit depended upon its own merits, it would have met the fate pred cted by Dogberry for Borachio, and been “condemned into everlasting redemptioa’’ The acting of the princips} part by Mr. Davenport was capi tal, and, as far as artistic effect goes, it was the sum- mum bonum which we always expect and seldom see The conception of tne part was borne out by the Mnes, although it would not bear analysis. No sensible maa would make any su h eacrifice as that vo'untarily mate by St. Mare, under any circumstances, and the author seems to have desired to get up a series of strong situations and effective tableaux without regard to the naturalness of the plot, thereby defeating the true end and aim of the d:ama. Nature would not re sogaise her image in such a mirror. Madame Poulsi p'ayed Dianora respectably. Mr. Gal- legher is not fitfor anch parts as the Prince, and Mr. Grosvenor was bard and tiresome as one of the old style of court butterflies. The people seemed to Nhe the latter part of ‘St Mare,’’ and Mr Davenport and Mr. Conway were called out. ‘Whig @rimary Meeungs.
