There bas also been a pause in the speculative movements which charac. terized the ht, and the market altogether bas been quiet. At the same time rates generally are weil sustained, and the impression prevails that the ruling duil- pess ie but te » and will ere long give way to a season of considerable activity when the stocks in the in- terior become reduced so far as to force the country mer- chante into the market. It is pot difficult to account for the present state of affairs. ‘The purchases made during the month of March, on specu- lative account, were unusually heavy, and absorbed a large amount of money, ata time when the market was much tighter than usual, Although the then operators are well able to hold on, the stringency which at present pre. vails prevents others from pur lasing from whem a current rates except for 1 requirements, and thus the speculative move mon moment brought to a stand still, The ntry mm with fair stocks on hand, are not disposed to crease their supplies at current rates, thinking probably that the chances of the market are in the’ fuvor, and that delay will prove pro- fitable in the lon: ron. ‘The jobbers, under these cir- cumstances, bol -f'aleo, that the #pecula- tors should carry (0) market, and meet the drain of inte- Test—the more fo as i dhey sold largely 10 tho codutry they would have to give ong, eredits on high cost goo. Thus operations of all are stopped, and although rates aro well maintained but fow sale cotaparatively are effected In our last tseue we ventured the opinion that this condition of aifairs would enste, and stated that the activity we then noticed was mostly’ anticipatory in its character, The result has justified our expectations, aud ‘we may have to wait some weeks before the country’ con sumes the «upplies now in the interior, When this takes place, particularly should the advices from abroad couti- favorable, a period of considerable activity may bo Jooked for, aud’ perhaps a #tul further enhancement of the vaiue of staple goods, Frou amp dvan.wo ae Riana, April, 1807 xD MrAL.—No auies of either reported’ to- The market ts very dail. mad Grim.—No sales of wheat.

Arn 20,--Anether phase of the injmetion proceedings Against tbe new Commissioners of Metropolitan Potice was devoloped in an argument to dissolve the absolute injunc- ton heretofore granted by Judge Roosevelt, om the writ of quo warranio sued out by the Attorney General, An ap- plication to set % askle had been made on Wodnesday, and &0 informal argument had arwen thereap; and subse- ‘quently the hour of 8 o'clock P.M. this day was tixed for ® more regular argument, There was a large umber af penton present, manifest: ing much interest {n the provesdings. Mr. Noyes opened for the new Conimissunéra, He aakd that the case, as be viewed, it presentod a.ingle aga) pro Position which be proposed tediscuss with-very, lithe ut- tention to extrinsic circumstangos. ‘The quextion invotyed" f* was a great one, for & would devermine whotber by the Judicial power, the jegislative anda large portion of the executive power ehoukl be paralyzed. It was a conitict between the different. branches of te goverument, those strictly subordinate assuming authority over those supe. thor, AN act bad been passed by the Stato Legislature organizing @ metropulitan pokice, aud the power of tho Judiciary had been invoked to prevent the execution of that jaw: and now they were to sea whether the jodiewal inter position was to remain on the record of the Court. It was hecessary for him to refer to the compiaint of the Attorney General, It was in substanes what was originally known fovmation under a quo warranta, to wst the right n Of aD office.

The complaint admits ndante are in office. Counsel referrnd to some ® complaint showing that ‘uct, to show “a8 & proceeding by a party out of office as re- against persons in office, under ap act of the Legis and it must be tbat the defendants were in office, be. cause no quo warranto Would lie except the parties were in Poeession of the office from which it was sought to oust them, On that proceeding the injunction was granted which the defrndants now arked to have dissolved. Coun. sel read the affidavit of the Mayor on which the quo war- vanto Wa isened, That attidavit shows that the relator i+ Sustained in his effort to oust ‘hese Commi-sioners by the Common Council of the city; aud thus they had a local legislature striving to break down an act of the State La- gislature; and the question was, not only whether they would be able to break down that act, but whether they would be able to delay the execution of it until it could be decided in the Court of Appeals. Judge Peabody—Is that (Mayor Wood's affidavit) strong evidence in the ease ? Mr. Nayes—That is strong evidence. body——-What dees he allege? . Noyes—Nothing but that he i: apprehensive the peace of the city may be endangered. The simple legal question to be determined by his honor was whether this injunction on such @ proceeding a* this could be sus- tained i aid of a quowarranio? This injunction restrained through the executive officers of the government, duly ap- ited by the Governor, under the direction of the Leis- ture, the exereiso of the sovereiguty. of the Stato, If these Police Commissioners coukd be restrained, the Gav- ernor could have been restrained from making these uppointnienis. one Peabody—Can the Judiciary restrain the execu ver Mr. Noyes—Why not, if this precedent is supported? If the Commissioners ‘can be restrained, the Governor from whom. they derive their appointment can also be restrained. Mf the judiciary coukt restrain the agents of the executive, it could also restrain the execntive This injunction restrained the Commissioners from quell. ing @ riot and from proverving the public peace. It was a general principle the courts take no cognizance of © case in whieh the sovereign power of a foreign county, or the sovereign power of the home county was a party, Counsel referred to the case of the Duke of Branewick against the King of Hanover.

Certainly not, Counsel referred to the caee of Thompson against the Canal Commissioners—24 Abbott's reports. He contended that on general principles this was a violation of fundamental principles, and bad a tendency to bring the judiciary into a direct conflict, not only with the Legivlaiure but with | the Execvtive of the State, and it_ was not doubtful who would fall in such @ case. He proposed to show | by the code, that the power to sue injunctions was not | | enlarged by the code, andalo that no injunction war ever issued in such case as this.

To show Uhat the code Lad not eularged the powers of the Judiciary in refe. rence to injunctions, counsel referred to Howard vs. Ellis, 4 Sanford’s Superior Court Reports, 374; Lindon against Fritz, 44 Court Reports, 376; same against Hepburn, 3 | Ranford’s Buperior Court Reporta, 608; te Troy Iron and Nail Company's case, 6 Howard, &e. hie action produced anarchy here at ones.
