Third—Can perrons wio are found in the act of selling intoxicating Jiquor, mot Heving the license provided for inthe seeond section of the act, be arrested without process ? By the 18% section of tittethree of the present char- ter of the city of Brooklyn, the Aiftorney and Counsel of the Corporation is declared to be the legal adviser of the Mayor and Common Coun, and the several depart- ments of the corporation. In’ dischomging this duty in the present instance, I shall only examine the’ act, so far as I may deem it proper to answer your ixquiries, and not attempt to give such ‘con- struction of the act as may leave any doubt in your mind. Asto my advice to you, I dv not entertain ‘apy doubt as to the constitutionst right-of the Legitia- ture to pass a law regalating the mode and manner:in which a traffic may be carried on within this State, al- thovgh there may db an expression in the law, “Titie section shai) not apply to liquor, ibe righ? to asl) which in this State is given by apy Inw or treaty of the Usited States.” Ihave beer unoble toascertainthe existence of avy law or treaty of the United staves; which in tera gives the right to sell” liquor within the jurisdiction of this State. “The second seetion of the: net is an internal’ police regulation of the State, in respect to which the Legislatare had the right te act, and having exercised that right, it is our duty to conform to the regulation It has been well settled by our courts that the Revised Statutes segulating and licezsing inns end taverns and the penalties inflicted agaiast the unlicensed and un zegulated cealer are constitutional.

Thave thus briefly expressed my opinion so-far as re- Jates to the general provisions of the sections of the act now in force. I reply to the frst question, there ix no new power conferred upon you by the section quoted By the pre- rter of the city, title 3, sec. 11, subdivision ¥, it your duty to be vigilant and ‘active in causing the laws and ordinances be duly executed end 4 you are clethed with ail the authorit; id power of a police magistrate and Justice of the Peace, in addition te which, by title 2, chap 2 of part 4 of the Re- vised Statater, vol. se, io edition, your du- ties aa magistrate are more particularly defined. When int is made to you on oath thats criminai of- fence bas been committed, it is your duty to issue a warrant, and proceed in the manner therein pointed out. To the second section, under the charter of the city you are “ the chief executive officer of the city,”’ and, as such, may issue such lawful orders to the police as the exigency of the case may require. 1 would not ad- vise the issuing of orders to arrest except on complaint on oath, and then by warrant. My experience has taught me that the power which the police have to arrest persons in the actual commission of misdemeanors, ought not to be exercised except in cases of emergency; the policemen sre too spt, when exercising this power of arrest without warrant, to act indiscrestly, and, in the event of an acquittal upon the charge, they renter themselves liable to actions for ssault and false im- prisonment. To the third question] reply, that all violations of the excise law are declared a misdemeanor, and the police- men have the authority, by the 12th section of title 6 of the city charter, to arrest all persons in the actual com- mission of misdemeanors; this power I advise to be ex- ecuted only when emergencies require it, and upon a sure case. Respectfully, your obedient servant, N. F, WARING. Our Albany Correspondence. Atnayy, May 7, 1855. The Trade in Liquor until the Fourth of July—Ordinance a the Common Council—Liquor Bars Closed on Sun- days—Heavy Sum for Enforcing the Prohibitory Law— High Prospect of Taxes. Our corporation fathers have decided that free trade in all manner of intoxicating drinks will be permitted until the fourth of July. As no license is to be granted, and no money paid therefor, there will be a loss to the city of fifteen or twenty thousand dollars directly, and hundreds of thousands remotely. An ordinance has deen adopted, re affirming a repealed act regulating the sale of liquors during six days of the week, and strictly farbidding its sale, unless to lodgers or persons actually travelling, on Sfnday. A large portion of the drinking shops had ther front doors closed on Sunday, for the first time since the old charter of Albany was granted by Governor Dugan, some two humdred years ago. Itia to be hoped that not only the shilling houses wil] adhere to this voluntary closing on Sundays, but that all the two. penny rummeries about the docks and back streets will be compelled to “do likewise.” However wicked and Sabbath-breaking the Albanians may be characterized, there is no city in the Union, of its population, where less druskenness and rioting prevails on Sundays, in the ab- sence of the Legislature, than there is uniformly here, This ian very singular and unprecedented state of things.

An you are well aware, I was a suppor, ef sad de/ender of the “‘Kansas-Nebraska Iniquity,”’ (as my editorial bre- thren of Syracuse delighted to call the PD Wugiae bill,) aad have always contended, from the days.of the Wilmot proviso to the present time, that the people- -the settlers, the residents of a Territory actually intereste 4 ia the re- sult—should be left free to form, adept, or dis'sard auch imstitutions'as they, the residents storesatd, moy bo- neatly believe their interests demaw?; and in vrder to obtain such @ decision, and allow al! portions af the Union an equal share aud equal rights ms oceupaury of the Territories, that no Congressional restriction stom ‘or ceuld legally be interposed—especialle in regard to apy part of the Louisiana purchase, The treoty: with France stipulated the continuance of certain existing rights; which have not been, nor can they be, repealed. But it isall important that the pesple of the Territories should prove their attachment to'our goverument and institutions, and give a high and noble exanrple of the meaning of “populpr sovereignty’’ by maintaining the purity of the-ballot box, and submitting quietly to the lawfully expressed wil of tho majority. Aoquiescence in what has been done, thus far, should be general. There 1s no use of warring against extetog facts; and whatever may be the rumors in relation to the late election—whatever may have heen the yea! facts ot the cnse—it is folly to oppose'the result now, As a defender and advocate of the principle of squatter sovereignty, Thope yet to be of service to my new friends and neigh- bors, foram uow on my way to Kansas with a press, type, materials, ixc., for the establishment of a new per in the Territery, Epying “gone down’’ im York ‘tate, with the reot of the harda, in the vortex of the anti-Nebraska excitement, I now come to the surface, like the Captain of the Arctis, mourted orr the paddie box of the noble craft.

On Tuesday last an interesting case of alleged false pretences came up before Justice Pearcy, of the Second District Police, in which an extensive-dry goods merchant figures prominently. Some moaths ago, as is alleged, Joseph Hoxie, purchased (on credit) of McCurdy, Aldrich & Spencer, and other firms, a large amount of dry goods, valued at$130,000; and disposing of the same for half cash, left for parte-unknown. ‘The creditors held » meet- ing, and it was determined to arrest Hoxie, and accora- ly a complaint was made against bim before Justice Pearcy, ard a warrant issued for his apprehension. The fugitive was taken into custody at Fatalo, whither one of the creditors, Seth 8. Lynde, (having ‘full power of attorney vested in him by the complainamte) repaired for the purpose of bringing the accused on to New York: but for some cause or other it is alleged Lynde, instead of bringing Hoxie to this city, proceeced with shim te Phhiadelphia, where a separation took place, Lynde coming back to New York, and Hoxie, as is su; ‘sail- ing for Cuba, where he ‘now resides. Lynde not having performed his business satisfactorily to the rest of the creditors, he was requested to account for the where- abouts of Hoxie, and the funds received by the latter bought ef kessrs. McCurdy and others; but it seems . Lynde was somewhat contu- macious, and refused to be questioned on that point. The matter was then laid ‘before the magistrate, and Lynde, by his orders, appeared in the court om Tuesday last, there to be examined as & witness against. hoxie; here Lynde declined answering some very mate- stions, onthe ground that it might prodace a bad impression against him. His counsel argued that he was not bound to answer the questions put to him; on the other hand, the counsel for the complain he could not refuse, under the circum- hibiting the sale of liquor under very severe and beay penalties, have really opened the daors for its indisari- minate sale for two months. There are no licenses to be granted, no board of excise to discrimmate between the respectable venders of good liquor and the keepers of the lowest tippling shops and rot-gut groggeries. ‘vhough every person is thus unrestricted, untramelled in the sales, for two months, and thousands may em- brace the opportunity for that period who are not now engaged in e it is reasonable to hope that the moral sense of the community will prove sufficient te check any very inordinate or extravagant indulgence by means of this free trade in liquor. This city will be under the necessity, not only of raising by direct tax the deficiency of fitteen or twent; thousand dollars lost by not Granting licenses, but will be compelled to increase its police force about filty per cent, to carry out the prohibitory law, at an additional expente of some twent; making st least forty su thousand dollars anaually, a dollars a year for the of that Iaw—this, too, without taking at ail the calculation the enormous decroase in the valna- f such taxable property as breweries, distilleries, and all the mechanical means attached thereto. There are establishments of this nature in this city equal im magnitude and value to any others of the kind in the country, which pay tens of thonsands of doliars taxa- tion, which, when their manufactaring i ruspended, under the probibitory law, all the value which the asegaror could rate them at would be the bare walls. Let these establishments be sui and the tax payers of Albany will realize it heavily. Real estate ‘now is scarcely worth the owning. ROCHESTER.
