The News. The weather yesterday continued intensely warm, though a.good breeze blowing throughoa’ the day vencered it more tolerable than the two preceding ones. till it wae too warm for anything like com: fort in the city, and crowds of our citizens soaght the shores of Staten Island and adjacent spots on our doy, anxious to enjoy even for a few hours the ccol refreshing breeze trom the ocean. The ther. momeéter st 12 o’ciock stood at 91, and at 5 o’clock #93. In Philadelphia it ranged from 95 to 97, and im Boston at noon atood at 93. Another shocking tragedy, by which one man ‘wat hie life, another probably wi’) do eo, and a third ‘waa eeriously injared. was enacted in Brooklyn yesterday. The perpetrator of the homicide also ‘thes'ened the life of an officer who attempted to arrest him, but was finally captured and confined. The Coroner’s investigation will take place at the Cnty Hall, Brooklyn, to-day. A report will be found eleewhere in cur paper. By cur special despatch from Washington it will ‘be reen that Mr. Wilson, late Commissioner of the General Land Office, was removed in consequenes of geome investigations he had made into the land speca'sticns of favorites of the present administra- thon. Ii is stated that leadiog members of the nex’ Congress have expressed a determination to hold the goverment to strict accountability for corrupt wee of public funds. Our corespondent at Havana, writing on the 20%h cf June, informs us of a late circular issued by the Captain General, regulating, according to Royal erder, the display of the flags of thelr respective vations by Joreign consuls on festa! days. I: ia said that after yeaterday (July 1) the pay of the United Btates coneni at Havans will be redaced, by secre tary’e eslary and other expenses, from $6,000 to $3,409 per annum, which intelligence is important to many officeseekers at Washington. The local government was making » etrong effort to popu- larize the Spenish bark in Cubs. Physicians ang | d@entiete abont to travel in Havana, and eosking to | pay expenses by practice when there, had better read tho rigid rule of local probationary edacation end ¢xamisetion which they will have to undergo before being permitted to do so on the island. Anex- teneive eugac broker had defaulted and disappeared. The recently embodied negro troops ware being dis darded, but will be ipsor porated wita the old co joreo bastalicne, We publish under the head of our Washia,. ‘on sere yespondence an imp rtant communication from a gen'leman lately connected with the Dominican gov- pment, exposing the intrigues and active measures of hoatility resorted to by the agents of the English apd French cabinets to defeat the American treaty, Nothing can demonstrate more forcibly the weak- ‘ness avd {mbecility of the men who are at prosent niaced a* the head ot our own affairs than the facts p. 4 eet forth in this dccument. ; We give in to-day’s HeraLp a few more exirac’s from the country journals in relation to the condi- tion of the crops. The prospect is still cheering, and from every section of the country comes forth the promire of « prolific yield. There are plenty of eroskers on ’Change in this city who are de‘erminei, im their efforts to sustain the present high prices of bpreadstoffs, to hold on tothe last moment. With every shower of rain they predict the total destruc- tion of the wheat crops north by rust, and it the thermometer sangeet below ninety in the shade, Ubey have strong evidence that corn will not escape the Ocicber frosts. Bat we have seen nothing as yet to warrant any sack predictions. The crops of uli deecriptions are progressing prosperously, and one week more will put all speculation at reat ia regerd to wheat. The annual address of President Barker to the iste Know Nothing National Ccuneil in Philadel- phia, and a variety of interesting political intelli- gence, will be found in our paper to day. The eales of cotton on Saturdsy were confined to some 600 to 700 bales; the market clossd quite wtendy. Holders were indieposed to meet bay- ers at the terma proposed. Joferior, common atd mediom grades of flour were heavy and iaclined to droop, while extra brands, thongh dall, were without change of moment. A small lot of Michigan white wheat was reported sold at $2.52. Indian com was tolerably active, though without change of moment in prices. Pork was firm, with moderate transac- tions. The coffee market closed on the wesk’s sales at an advance of about jc. per lb. Sagas closed st jc. to jc. per lb. lower. With the ex- ception of corn and cotton for Liverpool, rates were ull and engsgements light. Avyotnen Decision AGatsst cae Marne Law.--We see that Chief Justice Shepley, of Maine, hes decided that police justices and other magistrates cannot have jurisdiction ander the Maine law, and that every case mast be tried before a jary. Now, it is pretty nearly impossible to get a jury, even in Miine, to con- vict under this law. Io New York it would be utterly impossible to draw twelve mon, all of whom are satisfied that the lawis right and con stitational. The decision of the Chief Jastice of Maine is considered in that State as a vir- taal nullification of the law. In Detroit, Michi- e that the Jaw isan entire nul- e imiare sta ¥ &he Soule and Marcy Imbrogile--Yankee Cunaleg tvo Much for Prenca Olp? omacy. Hon. Pierre Son)é bas just paid a ‘lying visit to New York for the parpore of making ar- Tapgements with some one of our bookmaking houses for the publication ef his work on Awerican diplomacy, especiatty the diplomacy of our present edministrxtion, as illustrated in his late extraordinary Spanish mission, aud its exciting and wonderful results. This book, we understand, will be @ large octavo of four or five huwdred pages, and will be issued to the public in September, so as to take the wind out of the sails of Marcy and his confederates in our Nerthern autumnal elections, The gravamen of this Spanish imbregiio lies in a nutshell. The appointment of Marcy as Secretary of State solves the whdle mystery, and was the beginning of that chain of bad measures, bad appointments, bad diplomacy, and bad luck, which has foundered the adminis- tration and shtvered the democratic party to pieces. The original organization of Mr. Pierce’s official family rested upon Mr. Hun- ter, of Virginia, as Secretary of State; and upon this political basie—half “Young Aweri- ca’ and half Southern secessionism—-many sub- ordinate appointments, incladiag that ef Mr. Soulé, a chip of the same bleck, were made. But Hunter, upon reflection, looking back to the unfertunate case of Henry Clay, and looking forward toa higher promotion than the post of Premier, positively declined the State Department, and the regult was the final lodgment of Mr. Pierce upon Warcy as his man, Marcy being an “old fogy,”” and the most ob- jectionable of the whole tribe to Youog Ame- rica and Southern ultraism, the immediate con- sequence was @ declaration of war against him by all of that peculiar progressive demo- cratic echool of which Hunter, Soulé, Daniel, Sanders, and such, were the admitted leaders. On his side, Marcy was equally belligerent, a3 his efforts to defeat the appointment-of Soulé to Spain, ef Daniel to Sardinie, and of Sanders to London, abundantly attest. These appoint- ments were made, however, ia spite of Marcy, because Mr. Pierce had gone too far to recede. Sonlé, at least, had received ‘his reward for his services in the. Baltimore Convention before the appointment of Marcy himself, and it would have been dangerous, therefore, te touch Soulé. Indeed, to conciliate the Southern secessionists to Marcy, it was found necessary not only to retain Soulé, but to give them a voice in the Cabinet; and hence the selection of Jefferson Davis as Secretary of War. Soulé having thus triumphed over Marcy, and having secured the consent and approval of Mr. Pierce to ® bold filtbustering policy at Madrid, thought himself perfectly secure, This was his fatal mistake. Acting upon the presumption that the administration was q@ unit, and that Mr. Pierce controNed it, Mr. Soulé wrote out at length his Spanish programme, as approved by Mr. Pierce, and laid it before the Secretary of State. Marcy took it, read it, said nothing, but laid it by for fature use. Soulé had shown his hand; but the Premier reserved his best cards for the end of the game. The subsequent published corres- pondence between him and Soulé, inclading the fatal coup d’état of the Ostend Conference, tee the rest of the story. French diplomacy wes defeated by Yankee cunning. Soulé had de- pended too much upon the slippery promises and the nominal authority of Mr. Pierce, and had too lightly regarded the hatred, the treach- ery, and the deep cunning and power of Marcy. The forthcoming book we presume will fally substantiate this view of the case. We under- stand that it will embrace Mr. Soulé’s original chart of his mission as laid before Marcy, and a good lot of diplomatic correspondence which Marcy thougbt proper to suppress, in the batch which, upon their call, he transmitted to Con- gress, and which has been published. We learn, however, that none of the secrets of this mission will be given calculated to prejudice our pending negotiations with Spain, but that the ex-Minister will limit himself to such dosu- ments, letters, and statements of facts, as the ease may seem to require to vindicate his ofi- cial conduct against Messrs. Marcy and Perry, leaving’ & gonsiderable margin of generous for- pearance in béhalf of the misguided and unfor- tunate Mr. Pierce. We are informed, also, that this brochure of Mr. Soulé will not be confined to his Spanish miz- sion “and its consequences,” but that it will embrace a scathing review of, and commentary upon, the Mexican diplomacy of Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Webster, and the results which have followed, and which may be expected from the return, through their management, of Santa Anna to power. With the publication of this book, then, all that will be required to give a perfect inside history of the diplomacy of this administration, and a part of the last, will be a the original draft of the filibustering and red republican European programme upon which with his book.

Interesting develope- ments of the probable working and consequen- ces of this deepotic law from and atter Wednes day may be expected. The subject to be dis- directly home to the business e of thousands of our fellow citi- Tue Monica Revouvtion. Six mouths ago yesterday, Fernavdy Weed was inaugu- rated Mayor of New Yoru, and inasmach aa hla administration has attracted more or }e3s of public attention, not only iu the State, but ia various sctions of the Usion, it is proper to | take 2% retrospective giance at the Jast aif | year’s record, and see what be tas really done. The severity of the contest last falt for the mwayoralty was a proof thas the corrupsiog temptations of the office were strouger thaw the ties of party or the obligations of pofitiont companionship. Ia this serab race for the chief magistracy of the city Mr. Wood was the euccessful candidate; and men whe uow look back dispassionately to the dissipated scenes aud heart-burnings of that contorted campaiga, even those why opposed the present incumbent most viclently, admit that it iswell for New York that he was elected. The venal politicians who ad given Mr, Wood their adherence at the last moment, only because they expected to make him an instra- ment for plundering the treasury, bailed his elevation with shouts of triumph; while the re- formers, and those who had long been disgusted with the wholesale iniquities of the City Hal, hung down their heads with shame at the pros- pect of increased taxation, pauperism and crime. Sucb at least was the complexion of affairs on the advent of the present year. In assuming the duties of the office of Mayor, sunder such inauspicious circumstances, it wasn0 -easy task.at the first leap into the stream to stem the strong current that was running against bim; ‘but his first message to the Common Council gave hopes.of a better administration, and contained such a clear and forcible interpretation of the duties-and obligations of the office, that evea the bitterest enemies ef Fernando Wood ac- corded to him their meed of praise. At that time we expressed our determination to give the new Mayor a fair trial; and it is a satiefac- tion to know that thas far he has not disap- Pointed our first impressions, although there are some personal foibles of which we might complain. Until the second communication of the Mayor to the Common Council, there was not more than a tenth of the population of New York who understood, or pretended to understand, the administration of our municipal govern- ment, and even these, either from their lack of executive ability, or want of moral courage to expose the festers of official delinquency, were unable to effect or suggest a practicable plan for the reforms they so well knew to be neces- sary. Mayor Wood, with a boldness that en- titles him to credit, unveiled in a single page of his message the venality of the whole system, and, In language that could not be mis- interpreted, indicated his determination to give at all hazards, the people of our metropolis what they had so long clamored for in vain, viz.:—publie order, the suppression of crime and vice, clean streets, the removal of nui- sances, the abolition of abuses, a restriction of taxation, and a prompt execution of the laws. Itisdue 10 him to say that, thus far at least, he has redeemed this voluntary pledge. The opening of the complaint book alone ha} wrought a revolution in the social condition of our city, and has been the means not oaly of redressing innumerable private wrongs among the poorer classes, but has led to the restora- tion of a large amount of property, and reach- ed a class of cases which, by being ingenious evasions of the law, never came under legal cognizance. The sanitary condition of the city at this eeason is another gratifying proof of the prac- ticability of these reforms. The suppression of the sale of diseased meat, impure milk, and the removal of filth from the streets, is clearly indicated by a comparison of the bills of mor- tality of this year with those of last year, not- withstanding the immense aggregation to the population of New York—a difference of near- Jy fifty per cent. The reformation in our police system is equally visible; and instead of finding, as in times gone by, a host of demi-uniformed con- stabulary lounging on the steps of the Cicy Ho}, and at street corners. no man in the de- partment is now exempt from the performance of his duty. A dignity bas tyue been imparted to the position of the policeman, while at the same time efficiency and discipline have taken the place of laxity and neglect in the corps. By means such as these an example has beea furnished to the magistrates of other cities, which they have manifested a commendable apxiety to imitate; and althongh the sphere of the Mayor's duty {fs limited to New York, yet we are not the only ones who have been benefitted by his official conduct. In most of the popu lous towns of the Union similar methods for the correction of abuses have been adopted, oid found to be eminently feasible. But there are difficulties surrounding Mayor Wood’s position of which he ought not to be insensible. The popularisy of his measures cannot fail to make him a target for political sharpshooters. The conduct of the last Logi+ lature is proof of this; ani doubtless the ps sage of the Probibitory law became @ sine qui non after the efforts to enforce the Sunday or dinance. His course on the liquor question, as compared with the conduct of the ralrrs of other cities, bas been commendable; aod we venture to say, that in the existing disorgsai- zation of society and parties, few men cold have so successfully steered between the Svylla offanaticism and the Charybdis of rum. Tye attempt to wrest the contro} of the police from the hands of the present Commissioners was ano- ther indication of the terror he had occasioned to the ‘little villains” who swayed the coua- cils of the State; and they were ealy deterred from the accomplishment ef their desigis by the spontaneous outcry of the people of New York If Mr. Wood intenis to continue bis course of retrenchment and reform, we venture to say that he will not only have to combat the Seward faction, bas a host of green-eyed monsters among the rank and file of his own party. The result of his tirst six months’ administra tion has shown consasively what an effi mogistrate, even with limited means, cin Amid the complexity of his megisteriai, manic!- pal and police daties, he has exhibited marked executive ability; and ifthe Legislature will bat give uss new charter, based upon the princi- ples of the federal goverament, and plaice all the departments of the city under the control of its chief magistrate, we have uo fears that New York will be badly governed.

Now, it appears that the amiable Max Maret- zek, who has been manager and conductor of the Italian Opera in New York for the past seven years, who has been entirely ruined a great many times, and looks healthy enough to stand several more pecuniary earthquakes, has a pretty marine villa on Staten Island, to which he retires during the summer months. Here the vivacieus Maximilian realises to some ex- tent the passionate prayer of Horace: ‘O Russ quando te aspiciam,” &. He catches week fish, when there are any—he writes polkas occasion- ally—and makes preparations to sacrifice himself once more for the sake of, art in the ungrateful city of New York. In this“ Chateau Maretzck” the conductor will compose his great work, whereof we have given the contents above. It will he noticed that he choozes the form of letters addressed to Hector Berlioz, Fiorenteno, Frederick Gye, M. W. Balfe, Thalberg, Lablache, and other artists; Managers and critics, The last letter is the erime de la créme of all—“To my friends and patrops in New York.” Some of the most piquant of our standard literature is in letters. Horace Walpole, Mme. de Sévigaé, Mme. d’Ar- blay, Lord Chesterfield, and many others, have left imperishable proofs of their epistolary genious. May rot the voluntary exile of Staten Island give us something equally brilliant? The subjects to be discussed are fall of in- terest. The Opera at Astor place, with notices of the oyster house critics—the episode by the Swedish Nightingale and the Chevalier of Irenistan—the arrival of the Marti troupe frem Havana—Kate Hayes and William Niblo —Mex’s flight to foreign parts, and his adven- tures by flood apd field—the tour of Sontag and Albooi—Grisi and Mario in America—and finelly, last and most important, like the post- script of a lady’s letter, the late sea- son at the Academy, with all about Phan, Coit, LaGrange, Vestvali, the Chevalier Wikoff, and—a great deal more than all the rest, we suspect—the amiable, able, indomitable and uncrushable Maxmilian Maretzek, director of the Opera, chef d’orches- tre, proprietor of a marine villa on Staten T+land, and ostensible author of “Music ia Hesperia.” We presume that Max, if he is really the writer of this book, intends to pay off his old scores, make a clean breast of all matters im- portant to the public, and leave the confes- sional with a mind at peace with all the world. It may, however, be the joint work of Max and the immortal composer of the “ Stabat Mater,” whore name is mentioned twice in the pro- gramme, Master Fry is boiling over with rage because the Academy preferred Rossini’s and Verdi’s foreign operas to his native American comporition, and Maretzek is very strongly impressed with the idea that the directors of the Academy have ascertained that there is more than one conductor in the world. It may be that Fry and Max have favored the world with their “ reflections” on American managers, by severely pitching into the committee that has lately conducted the Opera at the Academy- But let Max keep his promise—let him tell us #ll he knows about the Opera siace he has been in America—although he did not originate the “institution ’’ with us, by any meane—-it will put money in his puree, and it will give the public s prest deal of that personal tattle about artists which is thought so piqnant in the world of fashion. We sball thus have another contri- bution to our etandard literature—we have had the confeesions, experiences, and adventures of the Chevaliers Wikoff, Barnum and Greeley, Look out for the letters of the Chevalier Ma- rerzek | A New Conan Party—Trovsis Aone tHe Frisnvstens.—We publish today translations of several articles and paragraphs which have sppeared in a new Cuban journal established the other day in this city, under the title of El Pueblo, The Pueblo is that large section of Cuban residents who are disgusted with the mismanagement of affairs, and the squandering of fands, by the Junta, It therefore deals with that body in a mort uamerciful manner, iatimating first, that they were not the legitimate representatives of the organ of | views, The Cubam Junta is thercfore solemnly excommenicaied, and it is proposed to call a coovention ef Canans to clect a set of better and witer men. The new organ starta with new ideas. In- stead of recognizing, as formerly, the existence ota sentiment of sympathy with their canse in the government and people of the United States, it has discovered that they are not only opposed, but absolutely and decidedty bostile, to filibustero measures. It bas also discovered that annexation is an evil to be shuaned, and that thie country waa not the place where the revolutionists of the island shonid have placed the fulcrum of their political lever, Probably fetnre numbers will develope a pro-British policy. The sudden change of rentiment thus manifested is decideddy refreshing. Nothing like variety.

On the last Fourth of July this accustomed Tammany celebration was limited to a glorifica- tion of the spoils policy of Mr. Pierce.

To be sure, the Proepect of a fusion with the hards appears, from these proceedings, to be very slim; for, if Mr. John Cochrane may be relied upon, Mr. Dickinson and his set are but little better than Know Nothings of the third degree; but, in spite of all this, this soft meeting was a rather cheerful affair. The letters from Senator Tou- cey, Gen. Pillow, Governor Price of New Jer- sey, George M. Dallas, late Vice President of the United States, and Daniel E. Sickles, were quite encouraging to these Union soft shelis. But there was still another letter of the very greatest importance in the case —the letter of Henry A. Wise. The hards expected kim, but didn’t get him; but, writing to this soft shel) Union club, he says:—“My heart and son! are with you, with all my might”’ That settles the question. When a man gives his heart and soul toa party with all his might, it miy be safely concluded that he has made up his miad that it is the right party. In this way, Mr. Wise having decided that this democratic soft shell Union Club of New York are the real Simon Pure democracy, the ontside hard shells will please take a note of it for their futare guidance. Mr. John Cochrane, by and with the advice and consent of the administration, under the direction of Mr. Wise, wil! tell then what todo, Apply to Mr. Cochrane. Rumorep Extra Sesston ov rag Leeisna- tune.—By reference to the extracts which we publish to day, from that “peculiar institution” of New York. the Sunday press. it wild be per- ceived that “ Governor Clark, Thurlew Weed, and other magnates of the whig party,” daring their visit to this city, last week, “agreed that an extra session of the Legislature shall be con- vered on the 17th of September, to apportion the State, and to do up such other legislation as may be deemed necessary for the benefit of the party.” Now, we suspect there is something in this. The call of an extra session brings the old Le- gislature together; and the Seward party have that, and can do what they please with it; whereas, by waiting for the regular meeting of the Assembly, Mr. Seward and his pipe-layers wil have to rely upou the desperate chances of the new House and the new Senate to be elected in November. Looking, therefore, to the im- portent matter of the apportionment of the State, and to the equally important matter of patching up the Liquor law, so as to save it from an otherwise absolute repeal, let all hands prepare for an extra session of the Legislature. Even as a Presidential dodge, the temptation to Governor Clark, as the agent of Seward, to cal] an extra session, is almost irresistible. When our Seward econom'sts can do their elec- tioneering and pipe-lsying at the ense of the people, it can hardly be expected they wil) let slip the opportunity.
