A full report of the proceedings upon the trial of the abbe Verger, the assassin of the Archbishop of Paris, may be found in our columns this morning. ‘The screw steamer Alps, Captain Inglis, which left Havre on the 25th ult., arrived at this port yes- terday forenoon.

A nea city charter, and bills regu lating the management of piers Nos. 2 and? East river, also fixing the rates of ferriage to and from Brooklyn, were introduced. The tax bill was taken up. Motions were made to strike out appropriations for the Central Park, Belgien and iron pavements, Jamps and gas at Harlem, and various other items, amounting to three quarters of o million dollars.

The bark Pacific, which arrived at this port on Thersdey last, from Mayaguez, brought as prisoa ers, order of our consal, John Nelson (mate) and John McKinney, they having been picked up at sea with others in a boat by the schooner John Hooper, of Baltimere. It appears that these men belonged to the brig Twilight, of Eastport, boand from Curacoa for New York. While on the voyage they became short of provisions, when the captain of the brig despatched the mate, cook and three ®eamen to a veese! in order to obtain supplies. They did got return to the Twilight, and it is supposed they either deserted or were lost.

We have before us a file of papers of various kinds commenting in various senses on the Bond Certain journals published in Boston and Philadelphia and other country ‘owns, appear to ascribe the nefarious deed ‘o the unwholesomeness of our New York atmosphere, and to the general appetite for crime which pervades the New York community. Their theory is that there would be no more murders if the mgrcbants of the West and the merchants of Europe would only do business with the smaller towns instead of this metropolis; and they believe that were the people of this city to cease their efforts to spread enterprise and com- merce, the result would be highly advantageous street murder. to the people of the Union. for what it may be worth. Again, we bave a Washington paper, the Sr, whieh, referring to some of the more striking portions of the evidence, asks if “this be the sort of thing the abolideniets desire to establish in the South?” The theory of the Str is eve dently that the murder of Doctor Burdell is due to the want of slavery in New York; and that were we to reestablish the patriarchal institution of the South in our midst we should have no more murders, and no more need of « Corover. This theory too deserves to be care- fully weigbed and studied. We have likewise twe religious papers, the Independent om the ove side, and the Christian In- teligencer on the other, which, grouping together the murder of De. Burdell and the various crimes of violence which have lately been commti- ted im the city, or reported in sensation pepers, consider that the whole is due to the imperfection of our municipal institutions and to the loose manner iu which they are administered. The remedy which the Jit er proposes is the Seward whig scheme for disfrarchising the city by transferring the control of the police to Al- bany ; that recommended by the Jndependent is the convocation ef a public meeting, “ which sball express public seatiment in a way that even Mayor Wood will be compelled to regard.” Space forbids our contiouing to analyse the theories of those other cotemporaries who have fit to moralize on this horrible murder. We have no doubt that so.ne of the ultra free soil journals regard Mr. Buchanan and the democra- tic party as answerable for it. The London Morn- ing Fost will not fail to improve it as an instance of the “fatal consequences of a democratical government.” Apd we are prepared to read in the newspapers from Utah that the whole thing would have been avoided bad we but accepted the divine institution of polygamy. The tendency to ratiocinate on events is not always useful. There are events which are pare- ly accidental, and can be traced to no cause. Experience bas exploded the theory of the middle age philosopbers that there was po such thing as cbance, and that a secret cause could be detected for the most fortui events. No prudent think- er, at the present day, will expect to fiad moving priveipies for every motion which he perceives: nor will he consider bimself at fault if he caanot assign a cause to every event which startles him. So far ax we can judge, the murder of Dr. Burdell was a sporadic outburst of criminal pasion, It flowed trom no general system or sweeping cause. It was produced by no agency peculiar to the present age, or this locality, or the system of laws under which we live. It was an accidental fact, with whieb reason can do nothing but wonder, There was nothing in the deed to disetingnish it from the thousands of murders which have been committed in every country in the world since the beginning of time. If it proves anything, it is thie only that in the beart of mankind there lurks a latent criminality which in certain organi- zations will, when adequately roused, fad ex- pression in overt crime. No doubt, a community can be imagined where such crimes would be rare, perbaps rarer than they ere here. But a community where such crimes are unknown is a phenomeaca which the save imagination rejects as unnatural and | apos sible. No doubt our laws are not what they ought to be; and if they were better, and better adminis tered, so that punishment followed guilt more speedily. there would be ies oferime. And, beyond all question, were the moral tone of society higher were the clergy more faithful to their dutics were the rich less profligate, and less debased in their fashionable instincte—were the literature of the country purer, and the hosts of small scurt lous and obscene publications which now exis destroyed—were the general community less de- voted to money getting-—-our police calendar would be lighter, aod borrid crimes less frequent. So too, if thie were a small insteed of a great city, a quiet rural town like Boston, imtead of « great commercial mart «ach as it is, we should lead more peaceable lives. But even were all these conditions fulfilled, we doubt whether it would be prodent to disband our police. or make up our minds never to hear of such « murder ar that of Harvey Berdel! of of Ur, Parkman.

We commend bi« case to our three Steamboat Commodores — Vao derbilt, Morgan and George Law in substar’1ally the same terms as other witnesses. Helen evidently looked upon the affair as a very ood joke, Altegether, however, their testimony is of no great value. If they kaow anything ebout he murder they evidently intend to keep it to es. Dr Blaisdell was again examined. led that Burdell made a will just betore be murder, leaving all his property to his blood estimony is corroborated by that of one of the relatives, a witness from the bicth- place of the , which he visited in Decem- ber. Our veadevs are aware that no will has been found, and that several witnesses testify that Burde!! trequeatly complained that his pri- vate papers were ransacked by Mrs. Cunniagham. Mr. Maguire, a cousin of Burdell’s, identifies the revolving pistol found in Mra Cunningham's drawer as the property of Burdell. Mes. Stans- bury swears that on the day of the murder sbe closed an agreement with Burdell for the lease of the house on and after the first of May next ; that the papers were to be signed on the next day ; and that Mrs, Cunningham listened upon the stairs to the conversation between the Doctor and the tenant in expectancy. Mrs. Cunningham heard also the conversation be- tween Burdell and Blaisdell on the day of the murder, when the former requested the latter to come and live with him, because he feared foul play atthe hands of persons in the house. All these facts go to show that Mrs, Cunning- ham had a motive to injure Burdell, and there is no evidence yet to show that any one else had a motive. One of our cotemporaries yesterday enters into ap elaborate argument to show that the murder might have been done by some person from without the hcuse, the premises to sustain that hypothesis being that some person whom the Doctor had cansed to be committed to prison had threatened his life, and that the lock upon the front hall door was an ordinary night latch, which might have been opened with any key. In another part of the same paper may be found the testimony of Dr. Blaisdell, who says that the man referred to is still in prison, and that of the mechanic who put upon the door a patent bur- glar proof lock, the key to which cannot be counterfeited. No, with the evidence so far adduced, it is im- possible to resist the conclusion that the murder was done by some persons from within the house —persons resident there, or introduced for the purpose by the residents. Where is this myste- rious man who swore to take the life of Burdell? He was a notorious rogue, well knowa to the po- tice Were he now in the city, or at liberty, the police would produce him. But he is“uot at hand, and the only evidence we have points to he people in the house, because they were on the spot, and they are the only persons known to be on bad terms with the deceased daring his life, and to have a direct pecuniary interest in his death. Any other theory except that which we have raised is altogether untenable, because there is not the slightest evidence to support it. We do not say that Mrs. Cunningham is guilty. The evidence is too fragmentary and incomplete to make out a case against her. We are not pre- pared to believe that she is entirely innocent. There are too many circumstances against her to warrant such an assertion. She must await the result. A new phase was given to the matter yester- day, when Mrs, Cunningham, Mr. Eckel, Mr. Snodgrass and the Misses Cunningham were brought before the Court of Common Pleas oa writs of habeas corpus. It was held by the counsel for the parties that they were illegally detained in custody by the Coroner. The Court, Judges Brady and Ingraham, discharged the Misses Cun- ningbam and Mr. Snodgrass. The Coroner was allowed to amend his commitments in the cases of Eckel aud Mrs. Cunningham, so far as to place them in the position of accomplices {n the murder, when the Court ordered Mr. Eckel into the custody of the Warden of the city prison: Mrs. Cunningham, by the same order was returned to the hands of the Coroner, and she is now im- prisoned in her own house awaiting the verdict of the jury. which will undoubtedly band her and Mr. Eckel over to the Grand Inquest for the county. ‘This turn of affairs was not unexpected. The seal of the common law is now placed upon the lips of Mra. Cunningham and Mr. Eckel. They cannot be required to reply to the questions of the Coroner: and this, we presume, was all that their counsel hoped to gain by suing out the writs, The inquest, now that its probable re- sult bas been so far anticipated, will undoubtedly be soon brought to a close. ‘The Position of Affairs in Nicaragua. We publish in another column, a letter from one of the philosophers at San Juans del Sur, who har seen, according to his own account, the out- ride and inside of Nicaragua. The opinion he has formed of Walker and his movements is not by any means a favorable one, but the facts he states are worthy of consideration, although they may not wholly justify the conclusions he draws. Walker is now running the chances of war in Ni- carague, and those are just a4 uncertain in their results ax laweulte are found to be by those who tay at howe and endeavor to settle their qaar- rely peaceably with the aid of the lawyers, We have commented freely upon the position of the belligerents, and have shown by the accouats of both sides that if Walker is in straits, the allies are far from being in good condition.

Their evidence is of no particular moment. One was so distressed by the novelty of his position that he eet up a tremendous how!l- ing, and his examination was stopped. The girls were rather flippant in their replies, and Miss the same to the Central Americans. There is a touch of Vanderbilt in this move, with, perhaps, a shading by Commodore Law. Vanderbilt would probably name General Spencer, and Law might prefer General Henningsen a8 the new ruler. We would advise Commodore Morgan to look to his backbone. Backbone is a great institation, and a very necessary one in tights of this kind. The presence or absence of it sometimes makes or breaks a party. In the meantime, all hands are disposed to wait for the next news from the seat of the filibusters. If Mora whips Walker, the Vanderbilt stock will take a certain rise, and the commissioners will be able to carry out the plan they have got arranged. Ifa contrary re- sult should happen, the Commodore Morgan stock would go up, and then we should like to know how much of it our old friend Commodore Law holds? We think, however, that all parties have shown their prudence in determining to wait for the wagon. New Meaxs or Expesprrere Proposep IN THE Boarp or Epvcation.—We publigh this morning the report of the select commfttee on the subject of the non-attendance of children at the public schools, which was presented some time ago to the Board of Education by Mr. Shanuon, one of the members of the committee. It is a re- markable document in its way, and makes some very remarkable statements, The whole report is highly benevolent in its tone, and is in- tended to be a strong appeal to the humane feelings of the community; but there is another motive underlying this display, which it becomes the taxpayers of New York to look into. The committee estimate the number of chil- dren who are not attendants of schools of any kind in this city at from thirty to forty thousand, all between the ages of five and fifteen. For the education of these they recommend “the Com- mittee on New Schools to inquire into the expe- diency of establishing in the several wards of this city, where the school accommodations are inade- quate to the education of all the children who are now attendanis in the schools of such ward, at least one industrial primary school,” &c. Here, then, in the committee's recommendation. we have the whole animus with which the report was prepared and the purpose for which it was presented. “At least one industral primary tchool” in such ward, which means in every ward in the city; for your committees on build- ing are always most lavish in their expenditure; and then, when the public money is expended in such a benevolent way, who would be so recreant to all the feelings of humanity as to object? Now, the fact of the matter is simply this—and it is proved by the last report of the Board of Educa- tion—we do not want any more public school buildings for some years to come. A new school house in each ward! Why it would in- volye an increased expenditure to the tax payers of at least six hundred thousand dollars, in addition to the thirteen or fourteen bun- dred thousand, which they will be obliged to pay for the support of public education at the end of the present year—two millious of dollars alto- gether; which would be between thirty and forty dollars a year for each pupil, according to the present average daily attendance. Let us look into this matter alittle more closely: We are told by the report of the Board of Educa- tion for 1855 that there are about 240 schools connected directly with the Board of Edacation, and that the whole number taught is nearly 140,000. Now, our public school buildings, of all kinds, are capable of accommodating perhaps two hundred thousand children; and in this we includ all who are taught in the evening schools, which are especially provided for those who are unable to attend during the day, and who form no incon- siderable portion of our juvenile population. Here, then, we have in this two hun- dred a very large estimate of the chil- dren “between the ages of five and fif- teen” in the city of New York, and which may be found on comparison with the census to be somewhat over the number. A large proportion of these, it will be observed, are employed at va- rious kinds of work; and when to these are added the ehildren who are taught during the day, there will be a large reduction in the estimate of the committee, which is stated at between thirty and forty thousand. We do not want any more new schools, ac- cording to the report of the Board of Education, and this recommendation of the committee must therefore fall to the ground. Besides, we have already shown, when calling attention to the ex- penses of our system of public education, tha! a large amount of the money goes into the pockets of contractors and dishonest officials. Of the eleven hundred thousand dollars expended last year by the Board, perhaps not one-half was paid in talaries to teachers, many of whom are very in- adequately paid for their services. We would be the last to offer objections to any movement for the increase of the compensation of teachers to a just and fair standard, but we will oppose, to the very last, every effort that may be made to divert the people’s money into improper channels. We regard the recommendation of this committee as entirely uncalled for, and their estimate as wholly unwarranted and without foundation. New York Rowores ww a Farout—We per- ccive that a member of our Legislature from the rural districts has brought in a bill cutting down the powers of our City Judge to the narrow mar- gin of a mere Judge of potty sessions, And why? The bold, decisive, popniar and admirable course of Judge Russell with the garroters that have fellen into hie hands for judgment, has struck terror among the confederate rogues and raffians of our city, and eet them to work, as asual, among the country members of our Legislature. We hope, however, that among our law makers at Albany a proper and becoming sense of jas tice wil} still prevail; but should we be dieap- Mergan. We are told that Commodore Morgan ie also in treaty with the agents that have come oa to make a new sale of the Transit route, but that new @libuster put in his place. This is a ewrious move; but it bears out the truth of the Hewatn’s views on thie question frem the first. Shall it be Dupleix or Clive that founds the new order of things there?

We had always esteemed him as a kindly-natured and honest man ; but during his last year or two in our office he had become so much absorbed in the study of law, medicine, chemistry, primary clections, and all the exact and inexact sciences, as to cause us considerable anxiety. At one time, in fact, we seriously said to him : « Connery, this will not do. You must be one thing or another—a printer or a savan, and we don’t care which.” Nothing, how- ever, could disturb his lofty equanimity or self- conceit, so that when the democratic party asked to take him off our hands we could not refuse their request. We are satisfied now that, after all that has oc- curred, Coroner Connery looks upon this murder case as a stepping stone to some higher distinction from the magnanimous democracy—a Judge of the Court of Appeals, for example. And what is there to prevent his success, if the democracy of all factions continue to rally round him? Atall events, we hope that our amiable and generous cotemporaries, always disposed to give us some- thing more or less than justice, will no longer hold Mr, Gnow explained that $50,060 had ali beer drawn from the Treasury for the Kensay ‘capitol bat that the Secretary of the easury Dad nothing to show “ates eapatee nee lor complet ne oapitol of Ne ilar character for New Mexico, ag washed $80,000 for io Nebraska was The House then perfected the bill $300, - 000 for the construction of wagon ond (ronn Fo Kear- ney, in Nebraska, via the South Paso of the Rocky Moun- tains, to the eastern boundary line of California, near Housy aiake_ The aatd toad to connect with and form fe road already auiborized from Fort Ridgely to the aforesaid South Pass, ‘The sum of $2¢0,000 was ais struction of a the mouth of the co. fd. ~ ye river. % the question of the House adjourned. = yplpsoantlaaeghigd —___ Affairs at Albany, TROUBLE WITH THE SUPPLY BILL—POLICE BILL NEARLY READY TO BE REPORTED, ETC.
