A-savage riot occurred at the election in Cincin- ‘Rati yesterdsy, between the foreigners and Ame. wieans. The ballot boxes were, of course, destroyed @ the ontect; and whether the Know Nothings or ‘the “Bagnicht” party elected their candidates, ould not be ascertained. Several serious fights fteok place in different wards of the city du- “wing the early part of the day, but in the afernoon a terrific battle came off in the Mleventh ward. The Dutch pesraded with @ leaded cannon, bidding defiance to their adversaries. They were speedily attacked, their fiel@ piece captured, and ite fire turned upon ‘te former possessors. It-was reported thet three foreigners hed been killed. One American was #0 severely wounded that for a long time his life ‘wae eespaired of. In the evening the Americans fermed in procession, with loaded cannon, and paraded the streets; and it was feared that during the night the riot would be renewed witn increased ary. ‘The steamer Daniel Webster arrived at New Or- Weans on Friday last, with California dates to the 9th of February.

Let them go ahead. In the Arsembly yesterday a number of bills were acted om. The bill imcreasing the capital of the Man- Ahattan Ges Company was reported by the select committee and adopted. A stormof great violence was experienced in the neighborhoed of Albany on Sunday. Buildings were mnroofed, chimneys blown down, houses and barns’ Prostrated, church spires were twisted off, and a grest amount of damage was sustained. Along the river, however, the damage was but trifling.

In the Board of Aldermen a communication was received from the Mayor, announcing the fact that a bill is now before the Assembly affirming the privileges and immunities granted to the Broadway Railroad Company, which were annulled by the adjudication of the eourts, given upon the case after an elabo- rate discussion, some months sinve. This shame- leas attempt on the part of the Legislatare to secretly set aside the deliberate judgment of the tribunal, and override the powers of the city government, has been met by the Mayor with commendable vigor. In order to checkmate the schemers, he recommended the im- mediate repeal of the grant to the Broadway Rail- road Company, and the Board of Aldermen, with- out hesitation, passed unanimously @ resolution in accordance with the suggestion. In the Board of Councilmen no very special business was transacted. Mr. Clancey presented a résolution remonstrating lature, organizing certain parties into an associa- ‘tion to use the Crystal Palace grounds as 9 market monopoly. The resolution was adopted almost unan- imously. In the Board of Supervisors a letter was read from the Receiver of Taxes, replying to a call for information by the Mayor as to the practice of levying extortionate fees upon the bills of delin- quent taxpayers. The remarks of Mayor Wood, which were quite pungent, are given in our report of the proceedings. ‘The sales of cotton yesterday reached about 2,000 @ 3,000 bales, and prices rallied to the extent of about } cent per lb. on the previous decline.

Freighta by sailing vessels were steady, but rather quiet. Cuba—Its Africantzation Assuming a Detinite Shape—What Says the Administration ¥ From the highly interesting and important Spanieh intelligence which we published yester- day, it is manifest that the Africanization of Cuba has at length become the avowed and settled policy of the government of Queen Isabella. We recur to the debate in the Cortes of March 8, and to the following declaration of the Prime Minister, Senor Luzuriaga, which received on the spot the unanimous approval ot the Assembly. We translate from the report of the Paris Presse. Speaking of Luzuriaga, in the afore- said debate, it says :—“ On this occasion the minister made a declaration which reflects the highest honor upon him, as well as upon the cabinet whose sentiments he expresses. He established property—without refusing to compensate them by suitable indemnity—the Spanish government was finally decided to put anend to a barbarous institution, which all civilized nations condemned, and which M. Luzuriaga did not fear to call a pest and a shame to humanity.” This is Africanization in an official, distinct, and emphatic shape. The slaveholders of Cuba are to be indemnified according to the British West India emancipation system, we presume, which has reduced Jamaica comparatively to a desert, and which probably contemplates no- thing more nor less than the ultimate organi- zation of all the West India Islands into a confederated free negro empire, under a European “balance of power.” We suepect that England, at least, looks to some such ultimatum, and that the present government of Spain would prefer the transfer of Cuba to Soulouque for a trifle, to the cession of the island to the United States for double ite value in ready money. “ The Spanish government is finally decided”’ upon its course of action, It has discovered that African slavery is “a barbarous institu- tion;” that “all civilized nations condemn it;”’ an institution which the Spanish premier him- self does not hesitate to denounce as “a pest and ashame to humanity.” So we perceive that since the expulsion of the queen mother, Chris- tina, a great moral revolution has been worked outin the government of her daughter. The pin money of Christina, as all the world knows, was derived for many years from her commis- sion, per capita, upon Atrican slaves success- fully landed in Cuba, in spite of international laws and Spanish treaties denouncing the traffic as piracy. It is also known that the Spanish authorities of the island shared in these pirati- cal profite, and that the Cortes at Madrid qui- etly connived at, if they were not directly im- plicated in the business. Whence this sudden revolution in Spain, which not only recoils upon the African slave trade, but upon the old-established and successful institution of slavery in Cuba, as “a pest and a thame to hamanity?” We may charge it to the ma- chinations of England and France, to the disaf- fected creoles of Cuba, to the filibusters ot the United States, to the mission of Mr. Soulé, and to the eonviction at Madrid that the Africaniza- tion of Cuba will be an infallible sateguard against the absorption of the island into the Ame- rican Union, and the only infallible barrier, henceforth and forever, to that consummation. ‘The jealous vigilance of England, the mission of Soul’, the Ostend Conference, and the general filibustering pretensions upon which this Pierce administration set out upon its worse than useless experiments in European diploma- cy, bave, however, been the chief instrumen- talities £0 the conversion of Spain.to the Ameri- can antielavery doctrines of the British aris- tocracy. We have thus had,since the return of Mr. Soulé, two very significant declarations from the Spanish Cortes, or national Legisla- ture, unanimously adopted, to wit: Ist. That the sale of Cubs would be the sale of the national honor. 2d. That the supreme government has finally decided upon the policy of the abolition of slavery in the island. The first of these declarations closes the door to the acquisition of Cubp by diplomacy, The said that without invading the rights of NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, APRH. 3, 1855. proposes The New Seward Scheme—Control ef the agree a ag Police to be Obtained if Possible. ie 2 Though the meeting at the Tabernacle and the strictures of the press may be said to have killed off the Police bill which the friends of Mr. Seward had introduced into the Logisla- ture, the scheme has not on that account been abandoned. It isncw intended, we learn from @ correspondent, that the Police bill shall be quietly dropped, but that its provisions, em- | bodied in a brief section or two, and couched as | an amendment, shall be incorporated into the new Charter bill. As this latter is sure of the support of a commanding majority, it is ex- | pected that the obnoxious change may be smuggled through, without notice, under its cover.

This is the « Jation, and it is a pretty shrewd one. Should it be carried out according t~ 4sUesiga, slavery in Cuba, and what can we do with it? The South will not consent to the annexation of a free negro rendezvous for their fagitive slaves ; nor will the North consent that slavery shall be there re-established. Or what will avail its restoration, with the existing 500,000 slaves turned free, in addition to the 200,000 free blacks now in the island? What would Cuba be worth, as a free gift to the South, with @ population, to begin with, of 700,000 free negroer, against an aggregate of 600,000 whites, such as they are? We have had the cry of “wolf,” “wolf,” so long and so often from the Cabinet organ at Washington, that it has ceased to excite any further alarm than the boy in the fable.

THOMP8OX—Tau SUP= PRESSED EXECUTIVE COMMUNIC ATION—FaKCIOAL PROCEEDINGS IN THE ASSEMBLY—THE MANHATTAN GAS COMPANY—TRE TEMPAKANOE BILL, ETC., BTC. ALBANY, April 2, 1855,» Since last Wednesday—secret executive sesaion day— when his bonor, Lieutenant Governor Raymond, aston- ished everybody by voting to confirm the nomination of Dr. Thompson as Health Officer, rumors have circu- lated quite extensively that everything was not on the square in that execu@ve session. On Saturday it be- eame directly charged that Governor Clark sent « mes-, senger to that secret session, with » commu-ication withdrawing Thompson’s name. This document was never placed before the Senate, and people outside and, Senatora inside gaped with wonder at its suppression. Senators themselves felt implicated; the Lieutenaat Gor- ernor and the Clerk were both placed ina very unpicasant: position, a» the public were gazing upon them wich great reasons for suspicion of having withheld = paper from, the Senate, tranemitted by his Excellency the Governor. Senator Butts, not willing that sueh rumors suould Songer be tolerated, offered » preamble and resolution, this morning, setting forth the bo mare and ordering the appointment of » comm'ttee to investigate the affair. Afver a desultory debste fer half an hour, in which s, majority Roacnsns Sette #n investigation, the mavter was dropped for the present. Now, here i divulged one of the most high-havded ‘transactions ever recorded in a deliberative body The Governor, for reasons best known to himself, places the hands of one of his confid+ntial friends 2 document addreesed to the Senate or iss presiding officer. ot delivering it, this friend took the responsidility of suppressing 1t, ‘and the Senate proceeded with its delib- rations, in secret session, eutirely ignorant that the Go- Yernor desired to withdraw the came of the candidate whom he bad Rivisods recommended. His Excellency, undoubtedly, bad the best of reasons for withdra: ‘Thompson; he bad been importuned by hundreds of the Wisest and most judicious friends in the city of New York end other parts of the State, not to thrust Thomp- ton into the best office in his gift, when there were so many men more capable and more d , both as pon ‘and political persons, Mr, nso ine ated that he received « private note from the Gover- nor, permitting him to exercise his di with the ° communication, and still, Mr. D. decla: did not know the contents of the document. The investigation wil? elicit the fact whether the private note was written by Governor Clark on Wednesday, or at some suosequent period, te meet the exigency which had happened. The resolution wiil be adopted when again taken up, and then the public will ascertain the fact, whether Myron Hl Clark or Abpam B. Dickinson was elected Governor im November. ‘ One thing is absolutely certain- The confirmation of Thompson falls to the ground, for this reason. The * withdrawal of his nomination was sent to the Senate by ‘the Governor before any vote upon it was taken. Dur- ing the discussion that withdrawal was in possession of e tor, whe chose pot to communicate it, Therofore it will appear in evidence that when the vote was taken to confirm, there was absolutely no nomination for Health Officer before the Senate. And whex Thompson * applies for the keys of the Marine Hospital, he will be met by Doctor Bartlett with s quo warranto, compelling him to show by what right and title he aspires to the health office, The Senate voted under a mistaten idea that Thompson’s name was before them, whereas the Paging iat appear, that it was withdrawn. The act of withbolding it from the Senate does not vitiate the Governor's intentiony* ’ The farce of a call of the House waa continued nearly through the morning se+sion. As juent members appeared they were paraded before the rendered their excuses, Mr. Leigh descend to offer any excuse, and ‘the three dollars, to be remitted ina day or two. The ses- sions of Saturday afvernoon and this morning, were bothx ‘ gonaumed in this absurd and ridiculous matter. If the House intends to keep its members on duty, it must in- flict otner punishment than listening to frivolous ex- cuses and on getye them of their contempt instanter. Mr. Speaber Littlejohn wanted to impose some penalty that would be effectual in preventing members from rune ning away, but the farce of this shows that the * House is too lenient to the abveutess.
