THE NEW METROPOLITAN POLICE. missioners to Checkmate the Supervisors= A Standing Army to be Instituted, ‘The entanglements in relation to the police difficulties grow apace, but the developements of yesterday had mere ‘fm them of significance than eventfulness or interest. The Dristling valor of tho Albany Board of Commissioners has ebviously shrunk back from ite contemplated coup de main ‘wpon the city property and its guppowder-plot against the allegiance of the policemen im the pay and coxtrol of the municipal authorises. The action of the Supervieors in ‘molatisn to the patroimen and the limitation of the « quota’’ ‘ef ment and batous which New York whl place at their @eposal was duly recetved at @ meoting of the Board iui !*@ morning. The matter was formally referred to a com mltiee whose duty it was to consult counsel in the premises. ‘Bome two or three of the regular legal staff of the Board did accordingly convene with the committee, and a general ‘hum coptinuea through the forenoon in regard to the new aspect which the supervisors have given matters. Differert of the ameteurs who have had to do with the Duilding of the evheme came to volunteer their aid, and Mmedeed & gevoral stir waz created among the rooks who ave bad the original batching of she bill.

INAUGURATION OF THE EXCISE COMMISSIONERS, Dismal Mecting at the City Hall—No Appli- cations for License yet Made—Resignation of One of the Commissioncrs+—New Defects in the Law, &e. The cold water which descended tu torrents yesterday seemed an appropriate emblem ef the commencement of the reign of the new Excise Commissioners. But whether thoee unnecessarily dreaded officials will ensure any greater consumption of that agreeable tinid remains to bo demonstrated, About twenty cight minutes past nine o'clock ) esterday morning two pooullar looking gentlemen might have been observed issuing from the dingy building No. 15 Centre street, and to walk hurridly towards the Park. The one was a short, thick set man, with & counte- nance indicating great nerve and energy, #0 that no sur- prise will be manifested when it te stated that he war William Joy Havket!, Req., who has had the lardibood to aseume the responsibility of one of the new Excige Commissioners. The other tnaividnal wag « tall, well made, good natured looking gentleman, keown as Jobn Kerr, Eeq., another member of the Commission. Yeertng cautiourly round to mate suro that no limb of the law was lying in wait with an injanction, and no army of liquor dealers ready to treat thom to the fate of Stephen spoken of in the good book, the two gentiemes woended thor way to the back of the City Hall, up the well worn steps of which they passed, along the winding stairs of the ir terior of the hail, stopping al the door of the Court of Common Pleas, Part No. 1 on the second floor, Halt ing for a while to recrnit their energies and prepare for apy emergency which might arise from their a wi hin, they at length made a bold push and entered the room. ' The great reception of Kossuth at Castie Garden, the tremendour maaé meetings in the Park, and the rush ing crush for extra Henatps, were nothing to the crowd of applications of petitioners for ficense which the Commirsioners expected to meet. The only occupants of | tho room, however, were the Clerit of the Court, a very inoflensive gentleman, Mr. C. J. Warren, the meek clerk of the City Tem,erance Altance, and a «mall, mild dog. Renstured by this promising proepeet of an ‘audi- ence, the Commirsioners advanced to the Judicial bench | from which the Rev. Dr Cox heard with co much intorest the charge of tho Judge in his divorce caso, and pro- ceeded to call the roll. The two genticmen answered to their names, and ended this important proceeding upon whieh the clerk, for fear that the Comm ssionors might become exbansted and require romething t drink, brought in ® pitcher of jor water, Mr. Fekert then announced that the Board was in order to receive petitions avd applications for license, but neither Mr. Warren, nor the clerks, nor the dog seemed to be all affected by the announcer Mr. Haskett, afte short panse, announce | that the Board war ready to hear any remark» which apy gentiesnen might wish bo offor.

Very tittle, however, was done beyond passing @ resolu. tion requesting the members of the society not to apply for licenses from the new Excise Comimiwioners, hut to pursue a system of “ masterly inactivity” anil an arrest for a violation of the law would be made, when the society would defend the party arreated and seo hiva through tho fight. It was intima that the new Excise Commiasion. era were “all right’'—that they were “sound on the goose,” and (zat their action in the long run would be found to rede und to the benefit of the liquor dealers, The meeting was & secret one, and the members were warned against insinuating reporters, whe would ump them ay soon ag they got out outside, and publish their secret do ngs ia the newspapers.

Ricumonn, @. 1, May 18, 1867, Av much excitement exists among our people on the eub- ject of removal of Quarantine to Princes’ Bay, and as some excesses have been commitied by persona,as yet unknown, vy firing tho buildings, &e., and aa these excesses aro charged to our people, I propose through your columns to give to the public @ true statement of the canse of duis ex citement ws far ae the facts havo come to my knowledge, and thereby appeal to a candid public for their judgment Detween us and those we style our oppressors. To do so in an inteligible manner it will be necessary to show tho business to be interfered with and the manner we have been treated by the Stato officials, As to the business wo say, and we are ready to ehow at any proper time, that not Jess than five hun-ired thousand dollars worth of property must be destroyed and the busi news entirely broken up fer the future, and a large num- her of persens thrown out of employmont if this is permit tex to be established at the place contemplated: and we eay that thie arrary ement has been effected by the Com- missioners with the greatest secresy while our unsuspect- ing citizens have been in good faith depositing their yro ty on these grounds, withont the least ing or botice of the rnin thet was to follow, and that wo had no right to expect wuthing of the kind. ‘To show thiv last {t will be necessary to go back to the Jaxt fall political campaign.
