An attempt was made yesterday by the defendants to bring om the case of the injunction against the newix appointed Police Commissioners in the Sa- preme Court, but the Judges refused to hear it Judge Davies will give his decision as to the par petual iajonetion to day. We pablish elsewhere an address of the Rxeontive Committee of the New York State Society on the mew liquor law. The committee will stop at nothing short of an entire prohibition of the traffic in rum.

The Beard of Supervisors met yesterday. A re- port imereasing the pay of Assessors to $700 per annum was adopted. The Counsel of the Corpora. tion sent im an opinion as to the Comptroller's refusal vo pay the bill of the keeper of the City | Hall for refreshments furnished the Board of County | Canvawsery, in which the Counsel states the charge | is Legal. | The Board of Aldermen last evening adopted, by | 8 vote of fourteen to six, preamble and resolution declaring that the Legislature had prostituted its | power by imposing on the city tyrannical laws, and | that the City Charter, Police, Central Park, City | Hall, Excise and Port Warden acta aball not take effect until the validity thereof iv established by competent authority; and moreover that the Com- | mon Council will protect ail persons in a proper re- | sistance to the enforcement of the same. The reso | lution from the Councilmen, appropriating $5,000 | o defray the expense of contesting the dix pated laws, was amended by substituting $10,000, and adopted. The Corporation Counsel was directed to give bis opinion whether the ordinance, recen‘ly passed ty the Councilmen, reorganizing the depart. | ments, would not be a recognition of the constita- tionality of the new charter. The Board concurred in appropriating $5,000 for the celebration of Inde- pendence Day. A report from the special commit- tee on the relief of Broadway was presented. It eustains the proposed thorcaghfare wost of Broad- way. An ordinance was offered, providing thit the repering of fire engines, 4c., shall be done under the superintendence of the Chief Engineer. The Boari | will meet every evening daring the prevent month. In the Board of Councilmen last evening an ordi nance reorganizing the Croton Aqueduct Depart- | ment in accordance with the new charter, was adopt- ed. Twocommunications were received from the | Mayor, disapproving of resolutions passed by the Board—-one of which was directing the Comptroller | to drow bis warrant in favor of the Chairman | on Music of the Institution for the Biind, | for $2,000, for publishing s work on sa | cred music; the other was # motion em- | poweriag the City Surveyor to turnish a large quantity of maps forthe use of the Street Commit- tee. The bill to inorease the salary of the Mayor and Oity Inspector to $5,000 per annum, passed toa third reading. Mr. Boole moved to appropriate an additional eum of $5,000 for the purpose of testing the legadity of the new Police bill; bat the motion was laid over, and made the #pecial order for this evening. Mayor Powell, of Brooklyn, last evening brought to the notice of the Common Council of that city the proceedings had in reference to the Metropolitan Police act; whereupon the Common Council adopted a resolation empowering the Mayor to re. tein Judge Greenwood and Heory C. Murphy, in connection with the Corporation Attorney, to defend the interesta of the city agninst the usurpations of the new Beard of Police Comminsioners. ‘The dolegates to the convention called to reform the primary election system of the democrotic par- ty met in Tammany Hall last evening. Elijah F. Purdy wee chosen chairman, together with » sual complement of other officers, and a committee on by lawe was appointed. A radical change in the manner of conducting the primary elections is con- tenplated. The apecial committee of the Board of Alder- men, appointed to investigate into the canse of the nonfulfilment of the contract for paving Chatham treet and the Bowery with Beigian pavement, met jesterday afternoon. Lewis Cas penter, inspector of thease streets, sald the work was dome in accordance with epecificaUlons; that the heavy rate parallel with the railrond track were caused by disturbing the pavement to lay the rails, and then relaying it in Wet weather; that the stones are ali six inches deop, 40. The committee intend to recommend o the Board the use of concrete cement, the omnt buses cutting up the pavement. ‘The Coroners’ office was the scene of nnusnal bustle and activity yesterday. The officials ware kept pretty busy in consequence of the number of impor tant and interesting cases which demanded their at- tention. Two cases of supposed homicide after re- ceiving & thorough investigation proved to be noth. ing more than ordinary ones. Then there was o cane of micide by jJamping from the roof of « house, « fatal scaffold accident, and also three comme =f = drowning; besides & number of thom iy devoid of public interest or Heretofore the Coroners have made NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1857. their return of inquests held te the Clerk of the Ses sions; but after the Let ef May, under the provisians of the new charter, the tequests must be filed ia tac City Inspector's office, except auch as implicate par ties in murder or mensggaghter, and these must he handed cver to the Pdilap Justices. The Coro Bers’ office will be removed on the Lat of May to the room mow occupied by the City Inspector, No. 6 Centre street. The Aldermanic Committee on the Fire Depart- ment had a meeting yesterday afternoon to hear the case of Engine Company No. 44, who were compisin ed against for taking the sidewalk—previous to re- ceiving orders from the Chief Engineer—in Columbia street, near Kast Broadway, aod afterwards suspend- ed therefor by the Fire Commissioners for six months, The Common Council not having yet con- firmed the suspengion, the company applied to the committee for a bearing, apon which it appears that the streets were blockaded with ice eo that the en- gine could only get along by taking the sidewalk, as the engine weighed over 4,200 pounds, and there were only fourteen members attached to i!; they were weary, having been on duty daring the day, as the company were doing duty in four districts. The committees consider the punishment as rather severe. 7 ‘The important question ao long before our courts 4m an equivical or anasttled position, as to the liabi- lity of foreign Comgals to be ued in the federal Courts of the United States, was decided yesterday by Chief Justice Nelson, of the. United States Circuit Court, for the first time. . The question came ap in 8 claim of Mr. Graham against Messrs. Moyer & Stacken (the latter being Consul of the kingdom of Hanover), on # mercantile suit to set aside bills of sale of steam veasela to the aggregate value of $400,000. The decision, whioh is carefully and ably compiled by the learned Judge will be found in fall in oar legal intelligence. A motion for 8 writ of ne exeat against Consul Stacken was denied, on the grounds cet forth by the Judge, who also atates that this court bas jurisdiction to hear and decide the motion, notwithstanding the plea of consular privi- loges. ‘This is the firet time that it has veen decided | that Consuls can be sued in the federal courte. ‘The cotton market continued drm yesterday, while sales were confined to about 600 8 1,000 bales. The flour market was higher yesterday, with s good local and speculative demand, inciuding some purchases of Southern brands for export, and closed at an advance, especially on the higher and extra grades, of 1c. a20c. per barrel. Wheat was held above the views of buyers, which checked transactions. Corn was held at 8c. for Western mixed and Southern yellow, while no sales of moment transpired. Pork was heavy and lower, with sales of new mess at $22 76a $22, and prime was st $18 $0.4 $18 60, The rain im the fore- neon tended to cheok sales of sugar; the market was firm, however, while sales were conflued to about 600 hhds. Cuba muscovado at rates given in another cokumn. Coffee was firm, with sales of 2,700 bags of Rio on terms stated elsewhere. Freights coatlaued irregular, with light en- gagements, while four aud grain for Liverpool were mo- minal. ‘The Municipal Revolutlon—Necessity foc « Great Public Demonstration. The struggle that has just commenced between the corporate authorities and citizens of this metro- polis on the one side, and the Executive and Legis- lative departments of the State on the other, is cal- culated to spread and magnify itself until it be. comes the great preponderant political question of the day, in this city and State. On our part, the struggle is one in defence of our constitutional. rights and our corporatefreedom, desperately and recklessly attacked by the infamous State Legisla- ture of 1867. On their side, it isa struggle toobtein political supremacy in this city, and to quarter their political partisans upon its treasury, by measures utterly subversive of all the principles on which not only our own institutions, but those of the whole republic, rest, ‘These miserable politicians, who have signal- ized their posscesion of authority by the batch | of oppressive and unconstitational laws which they paesed, in reference to this city, have been hanging on to the skirts of politi- cal parties in the State for the last twen- ty years They have been struggling all the time to get political power into their hands, that they might use it for their own corrupt and mercenary motives. They raised the cry of “justice to the negro,” and appealed to all the fanatical and intolerant notions of Paritanism that they could address themselves to; and yet all the time they cared for nothing bul their owa selfish ends, And when they did succeed in im- posing on the eredulity of s majority of the electors of the State, and in gettlog the control of the legislation at Albany into their hands, they only did what might have been expected from them—pander to fanaticiem and intolerance, | wand quarter their political partisans like 90 many vampires on the people. The infamous acts of legislation which they | passed in regard to this city were concocted at | the Astor House, by the influence of Thurlow Weed, and under the general direction of William H. Seward. They were not dreamt of until after the fuilore and exposure of the corrupt machina- tions and spoliation measures of the nigger wor- | shipping representatives at Washington. and the ex- pulsion of Matteson and his fellows from the halls of Congrese, Foiled, defested and disgraced in this way, they turned their attention té this me- tropolis, and got up these various measures to disfranchise our citizens and to quarter their hungry lazzaroni on our treasury. Their objects were twofold: in the firet place to reward their hungry retainers at our expense; and in the | second place to get political patronage into their hands, that they might use it in carrying this city and State for William H. Seward ia 1860. ‘There never was euch » palpable infraction of fundamental laws attempted before by aay Legis- lature in this country—certainly never since we ceased to be a colony of England. The measures against which the corporate authorities and the citizens of this metropolis are now battling, are in open violation of the constitution, in utter antagoniem to the forms and usages of our political xystem, and in direct opposition to the rights and interests of the people of this great city. All classes of our citizena, from the mer- chant down to the laborer, feel this legislation to be a direct amault upon their rights, and are re- solved to resist it to the last extremity. A wonderful unanimity of opinion exists in regard to thie matter. All concur in denouncing those oppressive laws which a corrupt and unscrupu- lous Legislature has thought fit to foist upon us We think that a fitting expression should be given to this universal sentiment of our citizena. We think that it ought not to be left altogether to the slow and uncertain action ef the law to declare—us we have no doubt the courts will de- clare—that thos measures disfranchising the people of this city are unconstitational, and therefore inoperative and void. Let « public de- monstration be got up to denounce these lews and their Infamous anthors, and let the voies of the people be heard In defence of their rights and privileges. Let, in fine, euch a manifestation go forth of the indignation of the citizens of this metropolla, and of their resolve to resist to the nttermost all euch encroachments on their rights, as will teach scheming politicians for ages to come that they must not dare to trifle with the city of New York or to ase it for the sdvance- ment of their corrupt and mercenary ends. By all means ket we have aa indignation maw meeting. A Hew EVibustering Dlovomrnt—Mexico tn Danger. ‘We learn that a wow fitibustering movemert is on foot ia this city, aud that a small voce has been chartered by coms friends of Santa Aana, and is about to be sent off for Tampico, or some place in that vioiadty, with two or three thou- sand merkets, a lot ef cartridges, aud a few mon, to kick up a rumpus ia the State of Tamaulipas, peediminary to a grand move of the friends of the ex-Dictator, in and out of Mexico, ‘The cigns of the times indioe.te some new com- motion in Mexicaa politior, As im 1854, the cities of New York and Now Orleans saw large coteries of eminent and prominent Mexicans gathered against the sway of Santa Anna, and ultimately diving bim from power, 80, to-day, do we see the positive and negative electricity of Mex'can politics gathering around different oca- tres of preparation. Here ia New York is oon- gregated aa anasualiy large number of promi- nent liberal Mexicans. Among the names on our list we notice those of ex-President Cebal- fea, General La Vega, General Uraga, Messrs, Garay, Gomes. Vega, Urriza, Diaz and others; and a few ‘days since the Mexican Minister ‘at Waehington, Geereral Robles, came on here to see what all this portends * ; ‘The Santenistas are also gathering at Havana, protection of Spain, in the confident hope that Santa Anna himself will soon join them there or in Mexico. Among those who favor this Mexican circle of advocates of absolute power now congregated in Havana, we find General Minon, General Marquez, General Pacheco, Colonel Cortes, lately from Spain; Meears. Tosta, Vidal, father-in-law of Santa Anna; Sa- | maniego, the confederate of the robbery of | $240,000 from the house of the English Consul at Tampico; a son of Santa Anna, and others of like feather. Under these ciroumstances, and in view of all these signs, we confidently look for | stirring plota in Mexico. In fact, the new constitution that has lately been promulgated there is just what every getter up of revolutions could desire, and it is al- ready producing ite effect. We published it in full in the Hxmatp some time since, but the pres- sure upon our columns by the numerous other living questions of the day has prevented oar giving it that consideration ite importance de- serves. We do not propose to examine its merita now, but the signs of the times that are floating around us demand for it » passing notice. We have only to say that a careful study of its provisions shows us that it is one of the worst compounds of red republicanism and negro- philoiam that has yet been folsted upon the M people. Eillminating the executive of republic to a degree that makes it ‘and the curious and ounning federal complioa- fons of the furious squabble existing between the Wise and Hunter factions. An eleotion for members of Congress comes off in Virginia on the 28th of May, and the ques- tion of land distribution or no land distribution, from the fuss which is made upon the eabjest be- tween the opposition and demooratic organs, would appear to be the great absorbing issue of the canvass, But this is a mistake. The Know Nothings having been completely demolished in the November eicction, there is, in tact, but ono | party remalning in the State—the “uaterrifled do- | mocracy.” The present opposition forces are | but the broken remosate of old line whigge- | Fy and the dark lantern; and the fight they are making is a mere mookery. The real fight Is in the democratic camp, and is a contest bet woon the Wise faction and the Hunter faction for the Legislature, and the seat of Mr. Hanter in tho United States Senate, and the control of the par- ty in 1860. Itis a personal squabble for power, | spoile and plander—aothing more; and we are as indifferent concerning the result as was the old women in the death struggle between hor warlike husband and the bear. Gov. Wise and Senator Hunter are both men | of mark and good democrata, and each is a popu- lar man in the party. Hanter has superior claims a4 ® cool and argumentative statesman; Wise is without a rival asa campaigner on the stamp. “The Governor is jealous, flery and ener- getic, but very erratic, zigzaggy, and very apt to fly off the handle—the Senator is rather slow and lazy, but keeps on the even tenor of his way. Hanter for many years has remained under the South side exposure of demooratic principles; Wise has been everything by turns, great in everything and io every party; but nothing loog. He is « fast man, and likes variety. Ee has been a whig and an ultra whig, a democrat and a secession and a Union democrat—for Jackson and againet Jackson—for Van Buren and against him, to the death; deadly hostile to Buchanan, and the right hand man of Bachanan; a friend and an enemy of Fillmore, and an admirer and reviler of Fremont; a philosopher, = moralist, » learmed teacher of political ecooomy and Christian charity, a gentleman and a scholar, and » moante- bank, a scandalmonger and a humbug. In all these transmogrifications, however, Governor Wise bas never forgotten the main chanoo; and we doubt not that in this present squabble with the Hunter faction he will pin them to the wall. Our Washington letter upon the subject is very curious. It shows that the Hunter faction are carrying the war into Africa, Brazil, and the Cabinet; that there are already the symptoins of a New York «plit in the family in Virginia, over the division of the plunder—o split in which the amiable Mr. Cobb is to be made to play, nolens volena, @ more offensive part than that of Guthrie. It would seem, also, that the Hunter faction, in weaning off Mr. Pryor from the Richmond En- quirer, have left it rather a feeble organ for Gov. Wise, white Hunter's special orgaa, tho Sows, with Pryor at the head, Is fresh, vigorous, fear. leas and active as a worker. Very well—let them fight it out.

We wish Col Forney a full success, notwithstanding what has passed between ua Ja hanging on to the ekirts of the democratic party, however, as he has done for the last fifteen years, as a party organ, we fear that he has thrown the best fifteen years of his life away.
