The Sap:eme Court was occupied yesterday with the important partnership case of Spoffond & Hatch, involving the large amount of $609,000. | ‘The decision in this case will be of great interest to commercial men, as several very grave questions of | law are involved.

For some weeks past the wrangling democracy of this city have been in a terrible way. They bave had mectings, and counter meetings, apd caucures, and committees, and sub-com- mitteee, and manifestoes, and resolutions, and explanations, and exhortations, and con- siderable hard swearing, from Tammany to the Chinese Rooms, and from the Chinese Rooms to the Bowery, and all the way to Wash- ington, and at Washington, and all the way back, end since they bave got back—and all about the spoils. In these proceedings, these extraordinary proceedings, these confused and most delectable proceedings, Mayor Wood and Wilson Small, | Jem Conner and Tom Tappan, Bob Walker and | Butterworth, Hart and Herrick, Sanders and Fowler, Kelly and McMarphy, &c., together with all the Indians of the North American continent, | have been inexplicably mixed up, and all about | the spoils ot the Custom House and the control have been abandoned by the persecution, in con- sequence of the entire failure of evidence to support them, The persgomtors have not ed- duced one particte of evidence to show that Con- nery broke any law, or transgressed any rule governing Coroners’ imquesta, All that they have proved is that be was indisoreet, that he indulged in dull witticisms at times, and that he eviuced, at a very eloguisr eeagon certainly, an undue af- fection for excient and singular ballad poetry of Ireland, relating to the tails of cowa. But these matters are no grouud for the re- moval from bis office of # man who, beyond all doubt, performed his duty zealously and to the beet of his ability. They are mere trumpery, io fact; while Connery can prove by witnesses with- out number that he did what in him lay to attain the ende of justice, The idea of moving for his removal was a mere pettifogging trick that will recoil upoa its authors, ‘ Austria and Sardinia. ‘The ast maii from Europe brings us accouuts of the rupture between Austria aad Sardinia. Diplomatio intercourse has actually been aus pended, and the newspapers are on the gui vive for a declaration of war. We do not apprehend that matters will be allowed to go ao far. ‘The couse of the quarrel was the refaral of the Sardinian Minister, Count Cavour, to punish cer- tain newspapers in Piedmont, for publishing dia- tribes against the court and sovereign of Aus- tria. Count Cavour said that he regretted the articles very mach, and was sorry the editors were 6o hostile to Austria, but that, really, both, he and his master were sometimes treated sharply by the same papers, and bad no resource bat to bear it. He likewise drew the attention of the goverument of Sardinia to the very hostile lan- guage of the Austrian papers in reference to Sardinia: concluding by observing that the grievance was, 60 far as he knew, without reme- dy. On this, the Austrians suspended diplomatic intercourse, and the Sardinians fell to refortify- ing their etrongholda. The true seoret of the affair is of course the moral effect of the progressiveness and pros- perity of Piedmont, Count Cavour and his col- leagues have by their liberal policy raised the kingdom of Sardinia to a pitch of pros perity unknown in Italy for many centu- ries. Industry is thriving, trade increases, learning flourishes, the people are happy, popu- lation swells, the nation is respected abroad. When you cross the river which divides the king- dom of Sardinia from the Austrian dominions all this is reversed. In Austrian Italy, you | of the New York democracy through these nice | little pickings of the plunder. From the brothers of Tammany Socicty on Monday (to-morrow) the Council of Sachems is to be elected—a council approximating in im- | portance and power, as far as they go, to the old Venetian Council of Ten, or the Jacobin Club; for they suppress the rebellious or knock off their heads at discretion. The faction which gets this Council of the Sachems gets the open ssame of Tammany, and thereby the contrel of the party, inaugurstion ot poor Pierce. At that time Augustus Schell was a pro- minent candidate for the post of Collector ; but there was a clique which cOuld not stomach tho | Dutch obstinacy of Augustus; they knew they ' could not mazage him, and so, with the aid of Marcy, they contrived to run him aground and keep him cut. They accepted, as a sort of com- promise, a highly respectable expounder of the | ‘aw—Judge Brooson—under tbe idea that he | was a quict and amiable old fogy whom they could manage as they pleawd. But they eoon found out that the Dutch courage of Bronson was, if anything, even harder than that of Schell, They badcanght Tartar. There was a dread- ful row, and euch a clamor was raised around the | ears of poor Pierce that Bronson was turned out | and © flexible outside gentleman from the rural districte—one Redfield by name—was made the dispenser of the spoils of the Custom House. This | was like the substitution of King Log for King | Stork; and thencetorward the anti-Schell faction | had it all their owa way, Bat the consequences to the party were frighiful. One half of | the democratic family —not alone of the city, but of the whole State — abandoned the administration camp, and from 1853 | down to the Cixcionati Convention of 1856, | they went wandering about after the dark lan- tern of the Koow Nothings and other straage gods, seeking rest, bat finding none; and all on | Custom House. The same game is going on now as that which brought Judge Bronson to the guillotine. There fore the Jodge, without a jary.

The lesson which the contrast teaches is so crushing to Austrian despotism and 60 loudly vociferous for Italiam liberty, that the Austrians have no longer been able to restrain themeelves, but have seized the Gret pretext for a quarrel with Sar- dinia. ‘The reason why it is not likely that the quar- rel willjced toa-war is that there is no reason if the party should agree to hold together. to preeume that the entire Cabinet of Vienna Thus, too, this Council gets the authority to | have lost their senses.

The repairs to the fortifications of Alex- andria are being made under the eye and direc- téon of the famous General Todleben, who lately arrived in Sardinia, on an alleged tour for bis health. The Russian Empresa too is in Pied- mont, enjoying the hospitality of the royal family: ata late public dioner, she broke through the tule which secures a monopoly of prandial to men, and gave the toast of King Victor Emmanueli herself. It is in fact, generally known, that the wound inflicted on the heart of the Romanoff family and the Rus sian oligarchy by the treachery of the Austrians during the late war, is of eo deep and revere a nature that the most deadly hostility is likely to to exist between the two autocracies uatil it is avenged. Thus Austria, by declaring war upon Sardinia, would be pretty certain to find herself engaged with all Europe: that is a contest whioh she dare not provoke. Events look as though the days of Austrian dcepotism and miagovernment in Italy were num- bered. Late occurrences in other States of Italy— inventions of new tortures, and practices of old ones | at Naples, political executions and horrid cruel- tics to prisoners at Rome, massacres in Sicily— have revived the old revolutionary feeling throughout the Italiaa penineuar, nad enlisted aniversal sympathy from abroad.

Panama ann Nicanacca.—We bave been now along time in difficulties in regard to the two routes through which the communication be- tween our Atlantic and Pacific States is main- | tained. For more than a year the Paouma route bas preeented terrors and difficultics, as well on | account of the maseacre of American citizens | there in April, 1856, as on account of new mail | and tonuage duties sought to be imposed there. | The first remains still unexpiated, unatoned for; the otter is claimed to be io violation of the T treaty with our government and of the contract | with the railroad company; sed fo the impost- | tion eo far bas been resisted.

The Nicarw guan nationality seems now to be extinguished, and the other Centra) Amvrican States have serionely propoerd to divide up betwren thom its territory. To prevent enck » consummation, and to keep open tho facilities of traffic and travel, it bas become incumbent on our govern ment to eize that route also. We think, therefore, that one of the first daties of Mr. Bochasan’s administration ia, ta vicw of these covditions of faste, to take military porsetaion of beth these reutes to the Pacific. There is no other remedy left.

The Tendency of the Drama—Mrs. Kemble and Mr. Barry, ‘The statement in the papers, that the Rev Mr, Bellows had accepted an invitation to address’ the American Dramatic Fund Association at its approaching anniversary dioncr, has given 0 pew phare to the discussion as to the tendency of the drama, which has recently occupied 60 much of public attention. Mrs, Fanny Kemble has written a letter to the reverend gentleman, re- questing him not to tend his countenance to any charity in aid of euch a wicked set of people as the actors snd actresses, Mrs, Kemble was once upon the stage, and comes from a family which achieved ita fortune and fame entirely through the eock avd burkin, Mrs. Kemble has, how- ever, taken up the (to her) more profitable business of reading from the works of Shakepere, and che is sbecked at her former immoral asso- ciations, Mr Thompa Barry, the manager of the Boston theatre—a gentleman of the strictest honor, morality and integrity—comes to the rescue of his profession like a preuz chevalier as he ia, and gives Mra. Kemble some severe raps in reveral tender places. Mr. Barry’s letter is simply @ criticiem upon the inconsistency of Mrs. Kemble’s conduct ia Kicking over the ladder by which herself aud relatives climbed to eminence. He does sot de- fend the vocation of which he is eo worthy @ member. He simply etates that the “ prejudices against the tage are dying away, and that even clergymen raise their voices in its defence.” Now, we have every reason to believe that Mr. Barry’s theatre in Boston is 60 conducted as to fulfil the best terdencies of the stage—to refine, elevate and amuse the people ; bat the position taken by Mr. Bellows is that the stage and dramatic Iiterature have much to do with form- ing the manners and morals of the people, either for good or for evil, and that it is the duty of the clergy and the press to use their utmost en- deavore to direct the inflaence of public amuse- mente in the right direction. The best defence that the drama caa have must come from the efforts of the artiste, the managers, and the play writers themselves. Mr. Barry cannot be ignorant of the fact that several of the moet popular plays of the season have been groesly immoral, and that an actress who brought several of these productions forward at Wallack’s theatre, and made the etage the areua for the most improper exhibitions, has not beea satisfied to take her money quietly, but bas fur- ther injured her vocation by au attempted de- ferice of @ ebameless performance against a littls severe but round criticism. ‘The press, the pulpit, and the actors themselves, have been equally remiss in their duty with re- gerd to the etage. We have seen this actress overwhelmed with the most fulsome puffs in leading journals, pretending to much piety, morality and refinement, and we shall find that her temporary success will bring dowa upon as a choal of imitators—pupils of @ school which ail do far more to injure the stage with right- minded men and women than all the letters which Mrs. Kemble could write or the Rev. Mr. Bellows could preach from now till doomsday. Tuy Mexican Constrrvtion—Iarortant D-1P FERENCE BETWEEN THK Sranish anp EnGiisH Venrsions.—We called attention a day or two since to a very remazkabie provision in the 15th article of the new constitution of Mexico, de claring that no treaties should ever be made for the extradition of criminals who heid the condi- tion of claves in the country where the crime was committed.
