The News, | We have four days later news from Europe, re- | celved by the steamships Anglo Saxon, at Quebec, | and Arago, at this port, respectively from Liverpool | and Southampt_n on the 6th inst. The intelligence | is unimportact. Lords Elgin and Ashburnham—the English plenipotentiary and commanderia chief— | yhad taken their final departure for Chin The | Freneh expedition was aboat to set out for the same destination.

The grand exhibition of works of art at Manchester was opened with great éclat by Prince Albert Money was easier, acd breadstuffs and cotton firmer. We have news from Sydney, Australia, to the L0th of March. A correspondent of the London Times writes :—BSince last sammary the markets have been | glutted by excessive arrivals from England, and the prices have been inordinately depressed. Several failures bave taken place, but they are mostly amoag | smal! firms of limited means, and happily not likely greatly to influence the markets, Yet confidence has been shaken, and few bat cash transactions are ventured upon. The depression in commercial mat- | ters generally is exercising an unfavorable infinetce | with respect to gold as well as other commodities. | Ye! the yield of the various gold fields is tolerably | steady, aud the returns do not present an unfavor- | able appearance. The gold shipped duriag 1557 | amounted to 626,874 ounces and 11 dwts. Late advices from Mexico state that Col. Crabbe | and his filibustering companions, some sixty in | of that court. It ‘s provable that they will be or- dered out by the Judges, and perhaps arrested for contempt of court. The Marine Surveyors still con- tinue to disregard the Port Wardens’ bill. There was oot a quorum of members present in | the Board of Councilmen last evening when the roll was called, and the Bosid adjourne] till Thursday afternoon. In the Board of Aldermen last evening acom- munication was received from the Mayor endorsing the recommendation of the new Central Park Com- mission for an appropriation for the purchase of the Stage Arsenal property, whish lies within the boundaries of the Park. The Mayor, however, en- tirely ignores the claims of the Commissioners to recognition in their assumed official capacity. The Mayor also,in accordance with a resolution of the Grand Jury, urged the proclamation of a reward for the detection of the marderer of Dr. Bardell. The case of John J. Eckel was yesterday post- poned till the October term of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, when the trial will take place, or a nolle prosequi be entered by the prosecuting officer. Eleven of the jurymen upon the Burdéell inquest have subscribed to an affidavit fully exonerating Coroner Connery of the commission cf any impro- per conduct towards the suspected parties daring | the investigation. | Inthe Court of General Sessions yesterday Bar- | nard McCabe waa put on trial for alleged robbery, but in consequence of the complainant being | charged with crime, the District Attorney moved to | Cismisa the case, and the motion was granted. Fer- dinend Walker was tried and convicted of 9 felo- nious aseaslt upon William Schartz, and sent to the pevitertiary for ore year. Robert Phillips was con- victed of bigamy. Sentence deferred. The case of Thos. Deniny, charged with arson in the first de gree, was called on, but at the adjournment of the Court only ten jurors were selected. A new panel was or dered for to-day. The Young Men's Democratic Union Club, who met at their rooms in the Mercer Honse last eve- ning, postponed the consideration of a series of re- sclations condemning the action of the recent Le gislatare in passing the amended charter, Pollce bill, &o.

Do they suppose that all the public spirited men in this city are located in Wall etreet, or that patriotism is exclusively the property of gamblers in railway securities or poet office sites? We think we are entitled to ne much credit as Weeley & Co. for our liberal of- fers to stimulate the discovery of the perpetrators of the bloody deeds which have spotted tho his- tory of our eity and State during the past few years. But yeur professional gambler is always ready to back up his sincerity with a wager; 60 your professional stockjobber knows no other test of good faith than to bind his assertion with a deposit of money. Messrs. Wesley & Co. are not exceptions to the rule of the craft. They say they are ready and willing to deposit the five thousand dollars in the Shoe and Leather Bank. This offer is made in a pure 4Vall street spirit. Ia that locality, the only test of sincerity is found in stocks, dollars, banks—banks, dollars and stocks, Weeley & Co, must not, however, imagine that, because we do not operate in fancy stocks, wt bave not as much public spirit as they.

Thelr chal matter of consideration was the report of progress aa given exclusively in the Herat. The detsil was read especialy in relation to the ex; at the Fifth ward station house. Quite a stormy time ensued between the Commissioners. The rashness aud precipitancy of the Albany interest in the commission was flatly chargod, aad the unscrupulous, busy mivchievonsness of Bowen in the matiers of a city of which be ig nota resident nor a citizea, was so bluntly intimated that it resulted in an open rap- tore between Bowen, and Cholwell Draper, in a very com- le passion, manner in wi the pace venney seay commroniees, The meget ws Captain Carpentr reaulted in a dilemma wi Tat force them eithor to back him up or throw up the whole Dustness as a failure at once. It was then apparently re- garded ag unavoidable to support Carpenter and the move- ment in the Fifth ward, even If it must lead to the extremt- ties of riot, bloodshed and recourse to the militia and the Governor for the enforcement of the authority of the commission. Mr. Tallmadge being consulted, expressed his full determination to make good the stand be had deliberately taken when he accepted the post of thelr executive officer. His action at the time of the Astor place riots was referred to, and the fact that he was ove of those who (as Reco:der) Lad deliberately counselled ‘Sher iff Wester selt to fire on the mob, waa referred to tw {ilustration of the temper which could be relied upoa te Tespect to him, even in the furthest emergeacy. GEAOND SESSION OP THB COMMISIONER3. In the afternoon the Board had a meeting at Simess Draper's office, at whic, however, only the Superintes- dent, with Draper and Nye, assisted. The object was to consult finally with counsel and determine on the course to he now pursued. Lawyers Outting, Noyes, Ficld aad Evarts wero tn session with them, and the afer- noon was taken i? with tho furthor examina: ion of the Police bill, and the expediency te ba adopted so as to entrap Mayor Wood into some act which might compromiso him, and in same manner authorize and determine proceedings towards organizing @ polico under the Board in ‘Tho excited condition of pyblic opinion 1s greatl the Board, as their aim is not so much the doy ment for iteelf as the conquest of the city politically. a Pong LA realised by the Commission its rags that thelr enemios, Litherto divided on the subject of the Mayor, have already Deen kuit and cousvlidated by the peril of the democratic sway in the city.
