Acting upon the plan of raising up in Spanish Amerfea barrier against the predominance of a rival, she has s‘renuously endeavored to her own intereste, and create there a feeling inimical to the United States, The rele- tive position of the two Powers, in the regerd of the republics of Central America at the present time, is instructive.

Clarendon has ao- knowledged it; Dtrraelt Yong since announced It on the fioor of Parliament, and Nupier has de- fended it ina recent spesch that has been re- | ceived with general accop@ and approbation in } politician, Palmerston, hile canght the cue and joined the increasing cry, His recent gratuitous and uncalled for speech in the House of Com mons upon our pending questions with New Gra- nada, wasso marked im this respect as to elicit from a statesman sitting near him the exclama- tion, “Why, Palmerston is going to turn fili- buster!” We are not disposed to place very great reliance in this new born zeal of the old fox, for he is too deeply imbeed with an antago- nistic policy to this country, through a practice of forty years of opporitioa to our growth and ex- pansion, and we believe he is tooold to adopt new theories through # truthful conversion. But whether he do or not, the advance and es- tablishment of the new theory of international policy is secure. Our government has declined to enter into any written compact with England and France in regard to the policy to be pursued im Eastern Asis, Yetwe arewell convinced that the course which will be pursaed by oar Minister, now about to depart for Chine, under fall in- structions from Mr. Buchanan, consonant with the idea that the free developement of the com- merce and interests of each nation is most con- America, will be a far better safeguard to their interests in those regions than any that could grow out of the parsuit of conflicting policies.

So also mast ail advances be raised in this city. The new Police Commissioners have concluded to cut adrift ‘from the municipal department altogether, and be- gin promiscuous dismissals to-day, to be followed up ‘anti all the present force shall be theoretically dis- banded. They issue assurance that station houses are to be independently provided. Their estimates for New York and Brooklyn make additions of more than $200,000 additional expense for New York and more than $100,000 tor Brooklyn. The Quarantine Commissioners had their wharf at Beguine’s Point burned down on Sunday night. ‘Yesterday an injunction was moved against them before Judge Roosevelt, which was denied on the ground of its ex parte character; the motion to be renewable, however, when the usual requirements shall have been complied with. Tne armada for the defence of their domains at Wolfe's farm is expected to sail today. It will comprise twenty-five men, ander Captain Walling. The June sessions of the Board of Sapervisors and of the Common Council commenced last even- ing. The proceedings, fail teports of which we give elsewhere, were unusually interesting. In the Board of Sapervisors ® communication was regeived from the Metropolitan Police Commission- era, modestly aaging for the sum of one million | ninety four thousand dollars for the yearly expenses of the black republican department which they would fain establish in this city. The communica- tion waa not read, bot was consigned to the table, which now groans beneath many very heavy doca- ments. Coroner Connery sent in a petition tor $650, expenses which he had been subjected to by his | prosecution. It was made the special order for the next meeting. The Board of Aldermen held slong session. The Conuncilmen'’s ordinance establishing a day and Bight watch, to be independent of all interference from the Btate, was called up and elicited some de- ‘bate. After some opposition it was concurred in. ‘The proposition of the Councilmen for cleaning the streets was made the special order for Wednesday. A commmanication was received from the Street respecting the condition of the streets. It Kast river between New York and Brooklyn ata cost of one million of dollars. The Mayor was | | same tc oth prt Aor authorized to offer a reward of $2,000 for the dis of the marderer of Dr. Burdell. Board of Councilmen a resolution was calling on the Corporation Coansel for his as to the legality of the fiftieth section of new charter, which divides the city into seven- aidermanic districts, and also to point out t legal steps are necessary to protect the righta our citizens if the said section is found to be in- i ert: ‘The reported arrival of the sloop-of-war James- town in the Delaware river from the West Coast of Africa is not confirmed by steamers that arrived at Philadelphia yesterday. It is stated, however, that She ie at anchor in the hay, waiting to place s por tion of her supplies on board the steam frigate Min- hesota, ‘The mysterions marfer neat Newbarg is still a ‘Mystery, and is now likely to remain one, During the examination before the Coroner yesterday World, led them to believe that the best way to | miserably of yellow fever inthe midst of their | ternational policy exist in the material world, foster the interests ef their own country lay in placing every impediment in the path of all others, are fast disappearing with the mea who have so long put them in practice, and a newer generation is rising, to rule under more liberal and enlightened policy. The world is awakened to the great truth that the advance,of each is best sought in the Improvement of all among the family of nations. The isolation of China is sub- jecting that empire to the dangers of diemember- ment on both its northern and southern borders. A selfish and exclusive policy has lost to Spain her once boundless colonies in America, and to Holland commercial empire which her enterprise had created for her in Bastern and insular Asia, The new system of international policy, based upon mutual developement and good will, dis- cards the old formula of treaty stipulations and entangling alliances, because experience has de- monstrated that these are nothing more than at- tempts at overreaching and i)) Gisguised systems of fraud. The evidences of these tfuths are scattered broadcast through the world. How might not the growth of our own Pacific empire have lagged if the Golden Gate of San Francisco had been closed to the cotamerce of France and England! How could Australia or the Indian Empire have at tained their present high position if the Ganges and the bays of New Holland had been shut to the entrance of our ships? Would the interests of England or our own country be subserved if the barbors of New York, Boston and Portland were closed to the trade of Canada? Nay, more, would Eagland’s interest or Eagland’s honor, in all that relates to her Canadian possessions, bo one whit better served or better protected thaa now if the English flag waved over those har- bers? Most assuredly not. The moerchanta, the manufacturers, and even the laborers of Eagland, are as well convinced as are our own people that the products of their industry, and the wealth of their adventure, are as safe where our institutions rule as they are where protected by the symbols of England's power. While these evidences of a new theory of in- similar truths are found springing up everywhere in the political world. The recent union between England and F’rance is not based upon treaties een more satisfactory to both parties? A more cordial co-operation under trying circumstances | fs not to be found in the history of nations A more enduring tie for its continuance than is fonnd in the recognition of the fact that the true interest of each are best served in the advance families. Of course this arson and turbulence are very bad things, and these rioters deserve—what they will not get—condign punishment. But in this world and at this time of day, it is useless to think of what ought to be; let us deal with-facts only. And the fact here is that with all their efforts the Quarantine Commissioners will not-be able to build a fever depot at Seguine’s Point, and to guard it so safely that there will be no danger of its being burnt some night over their heads, and with the patients it might contain, That is a- risk which no Commigsioners have any right to We know it must be very hard for the ardent republicans who bought the land at Seguine’s Point before they went to Jersey to negotiate for Sandy Hook, and who laid out their purchases in village lots in the hope that their new fever depot would prove a nucleus for a village—we know it must be very hard for them to see their little speculation thus baffled at the eleventh hour. But what can be done? One cannot risk a hun- red lives in order that these operators may make fifty thousand dollars, ‘The one and only thing which it now behooves the Commissioners to do is to anchor a fever ship in the lower bay, and prepare her for service aa a floating horpital, on the plan of the floating hospital at Liverpool, England. It will come to this at last; and the sooner they make their minds up to it, the better for them and for us If yel- Jow fever reaches the city through their corrupt mismanagement, we do not envy their feelings, their responsibility or their prospects, Stare Uscrration in TH1s Crry.—Some ama tenr journalists have been diverting their leisure by arguing elaborately that because, in 1807, commissioners were appointed by the Governor under an act of the Legislature, for the establish- ment of streets and squares in the city; and because in 1834, commissioners were appointed by the same sauthority to supply the city with pure water; and because in 1845, commissioners were appointed by the eame authority to regulate the Brooklyn ferries—therefore Governor King and his Legislatare have a right to put the city into commission, and administer it by means of commissioners appointed at Albany. ‘This is as if a cary surgeon, whoshould knock a stranger down and proceed to cut off his leg then and there, were to reply to his expostula- lations—“ Why, my dear sir, I’ve out off many and many a leg before. Scores of ’em.”” ‘Whenever—previous to the present year—the Legislatare appointed or authorized the ment of commissioners for this city, it was in and developement of those of both, and of all other nations, cannot be combined in written stipulations, nor invented by the wit of man. The archives of diplomacy will be ransacked ia vain to find that it has created a feeling more cordial than that which exists between this coun- try and Russia, These apparently discordant na- tione exbibit a perfect accord, because they re- cognize a mutual advantage in the developement of each, which the cap and bells of diplomacy have never interfered to mar. The obverse of this fact is exemplified in the history of international relations with the repub- compliance with the request and solicitation of the people and municipal authorities of the city. It was a convenience granted to us, on our petl- tion, by a gracious Legislature. But in this instance, the usurpation is not only based on no petition from us, but is in absolute defiance of our prayers, remonstrances and even out re- sistance, as given effect to by our legitimate municipal representatives. Volenti non fit injuria, says the law; our consent could justify any State interference with our rights, In this instance, we ere anything bat consenting parties. ‘The longest day nmust have an end, and eo evedt legal proceedings in our courts must sooner or later, but favariably !ater, come to » conclison, It required over eight months to settle the ques- tion whether certain French refagees, arrested in this country for victimising Baron Rothschild and the Northern Railroad of France, toa pretty Wberal extent, had by that act rendered them- selves Hable to be cent back under the extradi- flon treaty between France and the United States, One of the defaulters, Carpentier, tor- mented and harassed by the law’s delay, and poeeibly acting under the impulse of cousclence, voluntarily suzrendered himself ¢ few months 8go, and returned to give all the satisfaction that he could to the victims of his fraud. The other principa! in the matter, Louis Grelet, and the al- leged accomplices, Parot and David, resisted the efforts made to have them extradited, relying on the legal position taken for them by their coun- eel—that thecrime with which they stood charged ia not expose them to the action of the extradi- tion treaty, That is the question which has now, ip part, been decided, Mr, Commissioner Betta, in afetr, clear and incid report, stated that in his opinion there was sufficient evidence in. the case to have Grelet indicted for forgery. Tho od- the United States Marshal to surrender Grelet to the proper French authorities, Capt. Rynders hurries up his unfortunate prisoner to avoid the issuance of a habeas corpus; and at Hoon on Saturday, the poor devil who bad been for eight months feeding “on the vapors of a dungeon” in Eldridge street, and to which his younger brother fell a victim, was on board the Aragp, on his return trip to beautiful France. So much for Grelet. His alleged Parot and David, are stilt in custody, (oneiaclose confinement and the other on parole,) though it is difficult te explain the reason why. The Com- missioner reports that Auguste Parot has not committed smy crime that faite within the provi- sions of our treaties with France, and that there is no evidence before him sufficient to charge David with any grave offence. We can hardly epneeive it probabte that the report of the Com- mimioner should be adopted as regards one and rejected as regards the others, It would be either adopted as a whole or rejected aad! overruled as a whole; and having been adopted in pert, it is bat seasonable to swppose that if has been adopted as a whole; amd yet the men: have not een discharged from custody. Although we have ne fault whatever to find with the report of the Coummissioner, er with the action upon it, we beliewe that there wae w con- siderable stretching botirof law and of fact to achieve tite extradition. Mr. Betta admits that there was ne evidence to suntsin the charge of burglary, bus thinks there was enough to eustain the charge of forgery. . But: even assuming that there waa evittence enongh—which certainty does not appear from the minutes of the proceedings —to justify ties conclusion, the question atill re- mained whether the faleifeation committed emounted to the legal crime of forgery. It was ® falsification, first of a docket—called a bordereaw —on which the heiders of stock-wrote down the number inscribed on their shares, then of a cover or envelope—called a dossier—ir. which this dock- et was enclosed, and on which was endorsed the Bumbers written-om the docket, and finally the drawing a pen throogh a blank celumn of a pass book, opposite abstracted shares, ss an indication that every thing wes square. ‘We do not see that any one or all these falsifi- cations—sapposing it to be undisputed that they were committed—constitute forgery. They were not calculated to do and could not doinjary to any one. All they could do was to delay or avert detestion of an offence which had been committed months or years previous. How- ever. Mr. Betta deems it forgery. The administra- tion concur with him. The accused is sent off, and the only way the question of forgery.or not for- gery can now be settled is to awalt the decision of the French tribunal. Our own impression 1s that Geelet will be tried and convicted of em- dezzlement simply—a crime not contemplated by the treaty. To the unfortunate criminal, how- ever, the action of the United States authorities is final He has beon extradited for forgery, and although he may be indicted fer o lomer offence, he has no remedy to-procure his reinstatement in statu quo, Heilbron, who was some years ago sarrendcred to the Beitixh authorities on a charge of forgery, was only tried for and convicted of embezzlement; and for that lesser offence sent to Clerkenwell prison for two years. We think there should be an understanding that extradited criminals should either be convicted of the crime for which they were claimed, or at least of a crime for which they could be surrenderod, or should be scquitted entirely. The treaties re- quire amendment in other respects; and when being overhauled, there should be, for decency sake, some such provision or stipulation as we have suggested. We are done new with these French railroad frauds, and have received through them a protty clear insight into the loose manner in which the affairs of great companies and firms are con- ducted. A candid and full statement made by one of the parties most seriously implicated, is full of interest. It appears from it that so long ago as 1851, Grelet and Carpentier being possessed of funds of their own to the amount of some cight or ten shousand dollars, conceived the idea of speculating on the Bourse in joint trade. In Sep- tember and October, 1252, one of those sudden fluctuations on the Bourse by which fortunes are made and unmade, came, and not only swept away their means, but left them deeply involved. It was then that Carpentier and Grelet conceiy- ed the idea of availing themsclyes of the facili- tiesoffered them as employ és of the Northern Rail- road Company, abstracting some of Rothschild’s immense amount ef stock in the custody of the company, and obtaining money thereupon by de- positing them with the Bank of France. To this Plan they resorted, and with varying success car- ried on their operations at the Bourse. They could only gain access to the vaults where the Geek containing the shares was by means of a key in the custody of one of the administrators, and on this gomtieman they were scoustemed to play tricks, Grolet would occupy his attention in one part of the vanlt while Carpentier would be helping himself at the expense of Mr. Roths- child in another, Finally, the time came when they were forced, not to hypothecate, but to sell the stolen shares, and this involved greater risk, aa the coupons would be presented by the holders, and might lead to detection. Besides, Carpentier had to resort to abstractions from his cash ac- counts, and ina short time a million of francs waa thus ewallowed up without ever boing missed, and no noise has yet been made about it, At the same time a watchman named Guerin was operating upon Rothchilq’s shares on his own | the delegates appointed are hook; and they appeared, in fact, to be regartind by no means gu- in the office of the company as legitimate | metous; but we suppose there will be a Convea- plonder, tion, What they will do is another qutatioa. Game, however, is idw up with all these fast young men. They have had a éloh time of it for several year, aud for many years to come will have an that they were aa likely to receive thelr merits promptly as ere their French But wo regret that eoheming of that character is #0. much the order here, and punishmeut for anything eo much the exception, that » plundered firm finds it more profitable to compound with a rogue than to proseonte him, We congratulate the Baron Rothschild on the result of his effurts, backed as they were by the French government, which is identified with all this sort ‘of specala- tions. There was a tremendous pressure upon our government in reference to the matter. ‘Vast sums of money were employed in ‘the prosecution, innumerable counsel engaged, a great hubbub kicked up by the little French organs, an immense amount of grimacizg, shoulder shrugging and gabbling done by viva- cious Frenchmen among us, any number of uofa- vorable comparisons to us drawn between our in- stitutions and those of France—between republi- canism and despotiam—and in addition to all was the great influence of the Rothschilds and other representatives of the Twelve Tribes exercised in ® variety of forms. What could s couple of miserable Frenchmen, locked up in an Eldsidge atreet juil, oppose to all these weighty influences? Of course they had to succumb. We are glad the affair is finished, as it was impossible to say where the excitement it wasleading to mightend. All that is wanted now is to discharge Parot and David, and so restore perfeet tranquillity. Governor Walker in Kamsne—His Inaugu- ral—A Fatr eld for the Great Financier. Quindaro!—~With the news from Quindaror Kansas, of the arrival there of Governor Walker, on Sanday evening, May 24, about sunset, on board the steamer New Lucy, aad with the four days later news of the arrival of the Governor at Lecompton, and of the delivery of his inaugural address, we feel authorized to publish-in full the copy of the eaid address, as communicated to us from Washington. It will be discovered that the leading points of this address have been keretofore given in the copious extracts published through our columas; bat for a clear understanding of the exact con- nection and bearing of the several points of his gubernatorial policy, we recommend the reading of the entire document. The local laws are to: be enforced—the State Convention to be elected this month is to be held as a good and valid Convea- fion, representing the people of the Territory, notwithstanding the hold-aloof policy of the free State party. Governor Walker thinks the Con- vention should by all means submit their State constitution to the people of Kanses, for ratifica- tion, before submitting it to Congress; but wheth- erthe Convention will or will not pursue this course, is a horse of a totally different color. We adhere to the opinion that after adopting theirconstitution the Convention will think it wisest and eafest te- carry up their work to Congress without further ceremony, and that they will act accordingly. In that event our Northern democrats of the Honse will be called upon to face the music, yee or pay. We bave ceased, however, to entertain any ap- prehensions of « possible revival of the Kansas border ruffian scenes of poor Pierce’s disorderly and demoralizing administration. A new balance of power has risen up in Kansas with this season’s emigration into the Territory—the balance of power pomemed by the land speculators. They comprise all parties, all sects and sections, all factions and classes of the people. And they are all interested in preserving the peace and the law and order of the Territory—niggers or no niggere—for they are all involved in city sites, town lots, factories, landings, farms, railroads and what not, which must go down with a rum, and ruin everybody, with another military out- break between Gen. Atchison and Gen. Browa. This idea of the speculators’ balance of power covers the most briltiant, beautiful and enthusi- astic portion of Governor Walker’s address, His enlarged views of the subject, as a great financier and millionaire speculator, do not stop at city sites and town lote. His comprehensive imngi- nation brings into Kansas the fature con- tributions by steamships, steamboats and rail- toads, of the four quarters of the globe. Kansas is to be, not only the great central State of the American Union, but tho great commercial half-way house of the whole world. The people of Kansas, too, are just in the humor for this sort of preactiing, and.if Gov, Walker's grand and glorious Kansas programme, speculative and commercial, is not swallowed without winking, then we shall begin to think that the day tor morus multicaulis and South Sea bubbles is gone—forever gone. Gov. Walker’s reception at Quindaro was highly flattering. He was accompanied up from St. Louis, on board the New Lucy, by General Wilson, of Massachusetts, the most active and resolute champion of the free State Topeka con- stitution in the United States Senate; bat a still more agreeable and propitious circumstance was the introduction of Governor Walker to the citizens of Quindaro by Senator Robinson, the head and front of the Topeka free State party. There is something also very suggestive in the fact that the first place at which Gov. Walker touched the soll of Kansas was this Quindaro, which was a forest in January, and which had a week ago a substantial population of over four hundred souls, two good hotels, » @aily line of stages to Lawrence, and a newspaper bearing the formidable titte of the “Quindaro @hindowan.” It also appears that last Saturday week, while certain Quimdaro workmen were engaged in exca- vating the Missouri river blaff, (in the extension of their steamboat landing, we suppose) they struck upon a vein of coal, Should thisreport be established, it will probably be followed by the still more im- portant discovery that coal veins underlie a con- siderable portioa of the territory; and with such a discovery aa tia, Kansas will, indeed, become, and that at no distant day, not only the great geographioa} central State, but the great com- mercial centre of the Union. In view of Governor Walker's glorious commercial programme, it may yet prove to be a meet interesting incident in the history of Kansas that the discovery of coal at Quindaro (if true) was made the day be- fore hie first landing in Kanens, at that new and flourishing commercial landmark on the great Micsouri.
