The Zond street tragedy centinues to be the talk of the tewn. A mase of testimony was given yes- ‘terday before the Coroner, but nothing was elicited potting directly to the perpeizators of the crime, or affording any jona! cle te their identity. ‘Bhe obsequies of tne murdered man were cele vrated yesterday.at Grace Church. The Common Council ast night-offered one thousand dollars reward for ‘the diccivery of the murderer. We give fall and acourate reports elsewhere of all that transp!red yestesday ix reference to this exciting affair. The steamchip Cabawha arrived at thie port yes- *erday with tiavana dates to the 30th ult. Our eor- aespondents state positively that General Concha is 0 be retsined in office as Captain General of the fetund. The report that free trade in Chi- nese emigrants had been decreed is con firmed. Dr. Kane's health was improving slowly. Considerable excitement was cansed by the fact of the Commissary demanding payment from Captoin Cain, of the American schooner Prank A. Hall, fer achair which healleiged the Capiain bad broken in the public square. A large pumber sf ns gathered around the Captain and desiscd him not to pay, and aided him on the ground that “be wae an American.” The affair wae finally settled ceably. By the way of Havana we have news from §’. Domingo to the effect that Gen. Segovia, the Span- feb Consul, had been maltreated by the natives, and tue flag and arms of the Conenfate torn down. The five thoncend etend of arms sen: some time Havana were, it is reported, landed in ia St. Domingo. Among the passengers by the Cahawhba, arrived yesterday morning, was Mr. Stagers, who was Post Office agent at San Francisco, On the route he touched at San Joan, on the 21st ult., where he re- mained several hours, He saw Scott, the ageat of the Niceragua Con Scott had a s‘eam- er, the Bulwer, in 1 blast, and was about to proceed up the river to try and get poasession of the Tronsit route. It was there rumored that the allies were disaffected towards each other, and there was mropg probability that the Costa Ricans would unite with General Walker. The Nicaragua filibuster case was continued yes- terday before Mr. Commissioner Morell. The de- Sendacts,in the course of their cross-exumination, effered to read a letter from the private secretary of Presijent Pierce to Col. Fabens, which, they sai eontained evidence of the complicity of the Presi: @ent in the C lonel’s movements.

The soppositition is that if the letter con- taine evidence of the complisity hinted at, the prose- cution will go po further. The defendants, we un- @erstend, will, if put on their defence, call to the wtand 9s witnesses Mr. Secretary Marcy, Mr. Nichol- son, editor of the Washington Union, and Mr. Sidney Webster, Pierce's private Secretary. The procecdings of Congress are important. The Bepa‘e crdered the correspondence relative to th pay of Gen. Scott to be printed, and afterwards, ic Executive session, debated the Dallas-Clarendoa Central American treaty, but came to no devision a the subject. The Scott and Davis correspon @ence is very voluminous. The specimens which appeared in yesterday's Heraup, and the ex- tracts pr hed today, will enable our readers to judge of the temper and tone tha pervades the whole. The House passed the resolu. tion giving each branch of Congress control of its con ing and edopted the Senate's amcndmen’ to the Diplomatic and Consular appropriation bill. ‘The Atlantic Submarine Telegraph bill was reported hy the committee, and a motion to lay on the table wos Cefeated by a vote of 123 to 57. 1: will, in ad probability, pass today. The remainder of sion was devoted to a debate on political questions Kat little of imporcance was done in either bran of the Common Council last evening. The Board ot aldermen adopted a resolution to the effect that the Committee on Perries inguire into and report why the Union Ferry Company bave discontinued the Governcor street ferry, and all the fasts con- nected with the matter, The appointment of 1. W. Allen to a clerksbip ia th: office of the Corporation Counsel was confirmed. The Comptroller's estimates for stationery were re ceived and referred. The Board of Councilmen adopted resolations reinonstrating against the pas sage by the Legislature of the bill providing for the appointment of Commissioners of Police. They were carried, after a warm opposition, by a vote of forty-two to ten. A resolution offering $1,000 re. ward for the murderer of Dr. Burdell was also adopted. We have files of Bermuda papers to the 22d ult. They do not, however, contain any news of interest. It is reported that orders have been received from Washington to forward to their own country the parties charged with embezzling the funds of the Great Northern Railway of France. They are at present in Licridge street prison. The Commissioners of Emigration met yesterday, but did no business. Their books show that 5,968 persons artived at this port up to the 4th inst. The Commiction is still in debt $5,600. So far, the Legisiatare has taken no action to take off the bur- den of mortgage thot reste upon the lands and buildings of the Board. Our readers will doult.ess recollect the reported robbery of the Bank of New Orleans by their ran wer, and the «ube quent arrest of the alleged calprit , The money, some fifty thoneand dollars, was reco vered yesterday by officer Hays, of the Bank police, on board the steamship Cahawba, and safety depo- sited in one of our city banks. ture yesterday. “Ethnology of America” was delivered last even- ing, at Hope Chapel, by the Rev. Dr. Hawks. The attendance was quite large, in spite of the incle- ment weather. The lecturer endeavored to prove that in the latter part of the fifth century America was visited by Bhuddist priests trom China and Japan, who introduced their religion. This fact ‘wes abundantly sustained, in the opinion of the lecturer, as wellas that of several other learned scholars, by Chinese and Japanese records.

Contrary to general expectation, the supply of beef cattle on market yesterday was limited, and prices closed somewhat in favor of sellers as compared with lest week's rates, especially for the better qualities, The current prices were $8 and #11 50. Cows and calves declined a trifle. Veal calves, sheep and lambs and swine, were in active demand. Of the latter there have been no arrival this week, and 6/c. and 7/c. are the raling rates, with a tendency up rard. Opening of the Spring Trade. Our spring trade is opening with more of mo- mentum, and apparently upon a mach larger scale, than at the same early period of the season of any preceding year within our recollection. The first movements of this spring business are always felt by the newapapers, and are particu- larly marked by the great increase of the daily eirculation of the New York Heratp, and in the accumulation of our advertisements, Our ciren- lation at this time reaches the eplendid figure of nearly 80,000 co, per day, and our advertise- ments are some twenty-five percent greater to- day than at the same point of the season of any former year. These are among the most striking evidences of the dawning of exceedingly brisk and pros- perous times. Indeed, there is every indication through all the walks of life, that the great commercial and financial epoch now open- ing will, for the next three years, be one of unparalleled prosperity, credit, ¢ vagance and speculation, and that our commercial and business operations of this spring, of all kinds, will immensely cxcecd the operations of the spring trade of any previous year in our history. There is every reason to believe that the administration of Mr. Buchanan will give a powerfal impuls: to all sorts of commerctal and speculating enter prisce, from the fair prosp: of a calm, pacific istration at Lode and abroad; Wut this will only Céatribute to swell the volume of the mighty avalanche which we fear as we have already predicted, will inevitably coneervative adui descend upon us in 1860, According to the hilarities and follies of the Carnival will be the pains and penalties of the Lent that is destined to follow. What then? Let us all prepare to make hay while the sun shines, During the three years of flashing prosperity that we have before us, let us prepare for the terrible relapse, politic, financial and commercial, which lies beyond Mr. Buchanan may be the last of the Bourbons; but we bave three years’ grace at our discretion, and let us turn them to a good account, in squar- ing up our business affaire, in selling ont all sorts of stocks and scrips and bonds and real that when the crash comes we may by pared for the shock #ENCE IN Patt Bexnetr’s > Sectrety.— Mr. Ja small circulation, down town, and Mr. Hiram Fuller, another amiable cotemporary, who issues an evening paper of still less importance, equiva- lent in fast toa printed handvill of 100 a 500 copics daily, seem to take it very much to heart that we so seldom patronise in these latter days what is called “good socte' in New York —es pecially their particular brand of “good society.”* There are various classes, cliques and coteries making up what is called society in this great metropolis. What there amiable individuals mean by society is probably the particular little coterie in which they themselves happen to move end have a cheap existence. Mr. Brooks frequently twitche us for our negligence in this regard, aud Mr. Fuller thinks it bard that a person of the im- menee income which he is fond of attributing to us, amounting, according to his estimate, to $120,000 per annum, should not now and then give him and his con/r ree a glorious and splendid supper, at which they might surcharge their stomachs with canvass backs and elevate them- selves with champagne at our particular expense. Well, perhaps we are delinguent in that re. The steamstr'p Baltic is now fully dae at this port The Persia sailed yesterday for Liverpool, with one hundred and five passengers and $375,263 in specie.

Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet=The Mystery Stilt Unsolved, Mr. Buchanan left Washington on Tussday morning, the third instant, in ho; haste, viv Baltimore, by railway, for Wheatland. On Moa- cbolera morbus—a disease which, we | 1derstand, is eomewhat prevalent at this time ia Washing- ton. The fatigue and the incessant worrying, day and night, which Mr. Buchanan had under- gone from the hopeful law makers, spoilsmen and politicians of the party had somewhat affected the robust country health which he had brought down with him from Pennsylvania. Ac- companying him on bis return home were va. rious devoted friends—personal and political— Mr. Robert McGraw, President of one ef the Bal- timore railroad companies, being conspicuous among them. From the most undoubted authority we feel authorized to state that Mr. Buchanan found among his political friends, of all sections, at Washington, the best and most amicable inclina- tions, and the most gratifying promises that whatever may be the exact peculiarities of his foreign or domestic policy, and whatever may be the names of the members of his Cabinet, his ad- ministration will be supported, bona fide, upon broad national and Union grounds. These as surances will strengthen the President clect upon the independent national Union platform which we are assured he has resolved upon as the po- licy of his edministration, from Alpha to Omega. We also feel authorized to say, from the same perfectly satisfactory authority, that Mr. Bucha- ran left Washington without deciding upon « single mem- ber of his Cabinet, or enunciating the name of any man as certain to ocenpy a position in it, The best of the Cabinet selections put forth in the newspapers in behalf ef Mr. Buchanan are mere conjectures and inferences drawn from some passing inquiry, re- mark, or conversation of his with or concerning this or that individual. There are certain politi- cians, however, around whom these inferences and speculations gather much more powerfully than upon others. Thus, the conclusions amoag the Washington Cabinet makers in favor of Mr. Cobb of Georgia, Mr. Bright of Indiana, and Me. Floyd of Virginia, and one or two others, are pret- ty strong; but not one of these gentlemen, nor any one of their next of kin, has received the least positive information on the subject. Arriving back at Wheatland on Tuesday night, Mr. Bucha- nan will have proceeded at once to ponder, to sift and assort al) the available ministerial information collected at Washington; and in about ten days, perhaps, the public, the democracy and the poli- ticlans may expect to be informed through some sial channel of the real first choice Cabi- net of Mr. Buchanan, from Secretary of State to Attorney General. This duly accomplished, the President elect will proceed to prepare his inaugural address, which we feel confident will be a high toned, stateemanlike, conservative document, marking out a series of practical sailing directions of the most salutary Union and conciliatory character. Having mentioned the names of some who may probably be among the members of the new Cabi- nes, We Gan now mention several most certainly not to be among the pamber. For example, Gen. Cass will not be in the new Cabinet, nor will Hon. Robert J. Walker, oor will Colonel John W. For- ney. General Cass, through his friends, made a dead set for Marcy's portfolio; but it has result- ed in a dead failure, in the discovery, beyond all peradventure, that the old General las outlived his availability. The special little clique that have been operating in bebalf of Robert J. Walker are without weight or influence, and are mixed up with certain New York lobby and rail- road stock jobber ind yet they bave met with a more active support from the democratic charch South than could have been expected. Still, Mr. Walker will not be in the new Cabinet. As for poor Forney, always devoted to Mr. Buchanan, always ready for peace or war in support of Southern rights, he hos been utterly repudiated by the South, and so decisively that it would be exceedingly hazardous to make him Postmaster General, and he will, therofore, be set aside, He haz heen treated by his Southera friends as they have treated Pierce, Case and every other North- ern man they have used up. These are all the Cabinet revelations we chall give to day, although our stock of information is by no means exhausted. job, this thing of Cabinet making. It takes a great deal of think- ingand splicing with euch a democracy as we now have, to dovetail the odds and ends together into a water-proof Cabinet. We must be patient. | Tue Merorr Catexpan.The horrid murder of the late Dr. Burdell, the dentist of Bond street, naturally recalls other murders which in their day created hardly less excitement, Twenty years have elapsed since the city was startled by the news that Helen Jewett had been murdered.

Before severing the connection detween them, he desired to obtain a portrait and letters which she had of his, and earnestly requested her to surrender to the memorials of her liaison. She refased to yield anything. He insisted. Sho remained firm to her purpose. Such was the state of their mutual relations at the time when she was found murdered in the house of Rosina Townsend, After the coroner's inquest, Robineon was ar- fair hearing of the evidence, he was acquitted of the murder, there being nothing but circumstan- tial evidence against him. The case of Adams, who was murdered tyy Jobn C. Colt, near fifteen years ago, in this eity, will occur to every one’s memory. Ovlt taught bookkeeping; Adams was printer. Colt wrote @ book on the special businese to which he de- voted himself, Adams printed that book, but did not get paid. A sam of three or four hun- dred dollare remained due from Colt to him, greatly to their joint discomfort, Adams was anxious to obtain the money; Colt disliked excessively to be dunned. state of affairs between them, Mr. Wheeler, a writing master, who occupied the next room to Colt, heard sounds in that room which alarmed him: be communicated with the police, bat they thought light of his apprehensions; finally he saw Colt packing something in a box, and press- ing it down by kneeling on the lid. Meanwhile the printer Adams was missed. It was kaown that he had an appointment with Colt at his office on the day on which he had disappeared. It was discovered, by the evidence of Wheeler, that a scuffle had taken place in Colt’s room that day. It was ascertained, by the disclosures of the carman who carried the box away from Colt’s office, that it had been shipped on board the Kalamazoo. That vessel was still in port. Her hold was searched, and the box found. This being the was discovered, salted down. on his trial and convicted. most severe pressure, a pardon or commutation of bis sentence was withheld; and just before the time when he was to suffer the penalties of the law, he committed suicide. Dr. Parkman’s murder was scarcely less mys- terious, and for a similar cause. as it seems, $400 would bave saved a human life. He was murdered, like Adams, in the room of his debtor, in a sudden, violent and savage manner. The improbability that a man could take a bro- ther professor's life for such a trifle clouded the case in mystery for a long while. truth came out, it was made apparent that from the first the general conviction of the public was correct, and that euspicion had been properly di- rected toward, the guilty party. Dr. Webster, as is known, was righteously executed at Boston for Colt was put day he had guffered somewhat from «2 attack of Notwithstanding the In either case, Avstill later and better remembered case is that of Dr. Lutener, the oculist or aurist, of Grand street.
