A large number of mission- aries were despatched on proselyting missions to all parts of the world. The militia system of the ‘Territory has been ve organized, and the entire milita- | ry force put ina state of efficiency. The News is | Jubilant of the brilliant prospects of the Saints. ExGovernor Philip F. Thomas, of Maryland, is | the person to whom the Governor of Utah has beea tendered by the administration. It is not known | definitely whether he will a:cept the appointment. It is undersiood that if he declines, Col. Cammiags will again be invited to accept the governorship. We publish in another column the official report of Capt.

The in‘erview of Gov. King on Saturday with the | Police Commissioners at White s‘reet, had relation | to a discussicn of the probabilities as to the decision | cf the Court of Appeals. Should the decision go | against the law, so as to entirely annihilate it, the expediency of an extra session of the Legislature will not be contomplated; but shonid the bill be only or left in a condition to be resuscicated, re will be an extra ecssion calied. The defections in the wards grow beautifully less and les cating am unexpected diminution of the of the Commissioners in the force, the decided unpopularity of their forcing process. The bold officers and privates belonging to the valiant expedition of the Quarantine Commissioners recently landed at Seguine’s Point, have had no op- portonities to display their manly and beroic daring since their descent upon the enemy's territory. ‘There bave been surmises at various tunes of tho ap. proach of the cnemy, bat they heve proved ground less. It was confidently asserted that an attack would be made last Saturday nigst and an attempt , made to burn the buildiags in process of ereeticn. Luckily the rumor tamed out to be false, aud the expected opportunity for a signal dispiay of blue ceats, brass buttons and policemen’s clubs did not arrive. It is now stated that mo at- tack will be made till the buildings are nearly com- picted. The last despatch from the headquarters aud Atuat everything was perfetly quiet. The new building completed on Saturday was found o great corofort in yesterday's rain; the only draw. beck is a falling off in tho quautity and quality of segars. A convention of delegates fcom railroad corpora- tions end others interested in developing the re sources and promotiag the pros>erity of the South and Southwest, and especially of Virginia and eastern Tennessee, assembled at Bristol, Tenn., on the Sdinst. The particular objects of the Conven- ticn were the consideration of the propriety of ap- pointing a special commiesion to visit England for the purpose of disseminating correct information in that country as to the financial condition and re sources of Virginia, and to place promirently before commercial men abroad the advantages of a direct trade between the Old Dominion and the Old World; likewise to induce the proprictocs of the leviathan steamship Great Eastern, now in progress of con stuction, (o send that vessel to Norfolk, witha | suggestion of Mr, cow ier Of Governcr Walker.) that as a Southern and maa, if he could uot make Kansas a slave State he would be satisfied to make it a democratic free State, furnishes us the key to the new programme of the local pro-slavery party.

Wheat was Inactive, and sales confined to small parcels of Southern white at $1 85, red do, at $1 65 and Western do. common a $1 52, Corn was firmer, with sales of Western mixed at 903. a 92c., and Southern yellow at Mc. a Mc, Pork was sieady, with light eales of moes at $23 80.9 $23 BB. Sugars were quict, and prices un- charged. Sales of coffee were con‘ined to small lois of Rio atfull prices. Freights continued heavy for British perts, and engagements limited. They were inactive and unchanged for the Continent. The New Presidential Game tn (Kanias—New Dangers to the Admtoistration, Kareas is fo bea free State, The overwtelm- ing ascendancy of this season's Nortbera emigra- tion into the Territory, aud the pressure of the land speculations manio, have virtually settled the question, The fighting border rnffians have ated or laid down their arms--the village of Atchison has been bought up by free soil speculators ia town lots—the late pro-slavery Syuatter Sovereign bas been sold out to the free State party, ard Atchison and Stringfellow have retired from the stage, avd are heard of so more. The work of reconciliation between the late bel- ligerent parties goes swimmingly on. Governor Walker and Governor Robiason, Senator Wilson, and others, in travelling together, in dining and wining together, and in discussing familiarly at the same public meetings the affuirs of the Ter- ritory, have proved to us that the wars are over in Keneas, ard that both sides are at length cor. dially in favor of trying the more sensible reci- prot s of peace. With the first glance at theee pleasing evi- dences of a wholesome and bloodless revolation in Kaneas affairs, the natural conclusioa is that the rough work of this border entanglement is all fuiehed, and that Mr. Buchanan has now nothiog more to do than to fold his arma, throw himself back in his California buckhorn chair, and await quict y the final issue—pro-siavery or ne slavery. Bat with a very little reflection we are compelled to abandon this comfortable construction of the case ; for we discover in these Kansas movements of Governor Walker and Senator Wilson the ements of a new political game for the sacces- which, unless narrowly watched, may result in very serious embarrass- ments to the sdministrat The pro-slayery party in Kansas have aban- doned the ground of Atchison & Co,—they have | given up the battle for Kansas as a slave State, and the leaders in that movement have retired from the field.

Rev. Dr. Cheever preached a sermon last night, in view of (he recent troubles in bis church. He took the ground that in his recent political | harangues in the pulpit, he was like David, Paul Isaiah, and even Jesus Christ, teaching the traths of the Lord God, and that that part of the congrega- tion who opposed him were like the sinners of old, who would bave crucified the Sea of Gol. Of course these positions were more intimated than plainly spoken; bat they were none the less meant, Rev.

The plan of Governor Walker is to split the difference with the North, by making | Kaneas a democratic free S'ate of the California | pattern, and by quieting the South with a new | slave State from that aforesaid “fertile Indian country.” It will devolve, tnen, upon the ad- ministration, first, to be careful concerning the | premature admission of Kansas; for nothing could be more satisfactory to Mr. Seward, Gea.

Thus General Jackson was elected acd reelected; thus Van Buren was cected as “a Northern man with Southern principtes,”’ and thus Van Buren was rejected in 1844, tehaving abandoned hisSouthern principles; thus Clay was defeated the same year, in bidding too bigh for tbe North upon the Texas question ; thas Cass was defeatd in 1848 by General Tayler, a Southern man; and thus General Pierce was elected in 1852 in opposition to the Northern Seward aMliatious of General Scott. But there ie alsoa Northera side to the picture. In 1852 thirtcen democratic aspirants were kcocked In the bead because their answers to Capiain Scott's inquisitive pro-tlavery letter | were too strongty Southern to suit the North, and Pierce was nominated because he had wisely de- clined to write a letter in reply to Captain Scott's proslavery questions, So, too, in 1856 poor Pierce and Douglas committed political suicide in their desperate race for Southern support upon the Kansas-Nebraska experiment, and a middle ground man, whose hands were alike clean of the | Nebraska bill snd of abolitionism, became the democratic tominee. And this is the one of Governor Walker, Opposed to bim are, first, the Southern ultras, who are rapidly assumiag the shape of a distiuot party; and secondly, the Northern republicans, whose plan is a purely sect oval contest for the saccession, | The questions, then, recur, how is the adminis- | tration to settle the Kansas controversy without & violent collision with one or the other, or both, | of these sectional Presidential parties?

It is nota little remarkable that while we have directed cur comments on the usurpations of the Legislature in this city, to the priociple of the Jaws passed at the late session, and have assailed those laws solely on the ground that they were erroneous in principle, the advocates of the laws and the Gefenders of the Legislature have con- fined their efforts to assaultsoa Fernando Wood. We do rot believe that there has appeared in any city journal a defence of the Metropolitan Police, City Hall or Central Park acts on their intrinsic merits, No public newspaper bas go tar risked its reputation as to defend, openly, the right of the Legislature to step in witnout our leave and take away ovr municipal rights. There did indeed, before the passage of these nots, appear an article in the Courier and Enquirer, justifying them on ihe brond ground that the people of this city were absolutely incapable of relf-goverumeat, and therefore required to be governed by people from Albany; but the editor of that sheet ova doubtiees repented ere this of that unfortunate burst of candor, and is pot likely to repeat it, The other friends of the bills, end organs of Mr. Sewsrd, bave restricted their action to mere abus2 of Meyor Wood. We flatter ourselves that had the acts in ques- tion been susceptible of defence on their intrinsic merits, that defence would have been elicited by the repeated strictures we have felt bound to make onthem. When they were so vchemeutly ascaulted, some one at least would have stepped forward to controvert our arguments, and show either that the acts in question were not usurpa- tions, or that usurpation was not a bad thing, or municipal liberty a good one. But not one voice has been raised from first to laet to moet us on | this ground. We have enjoyed a monopoly of rational logical comment on the acts in dispute. What have the organs of Mr. Seward and his Albany clique said during the contest? Nothing at all, except that Fernando Wood is a law- breaker, and so forth. It is very easy to show that the Mayor, so far from breaking the law, has | been observing and obeying it in the most rigor- ous and exact manner, and that, with the Mont- gomerie and Doz gen charters—ratified by the act of last session—before him, he would have de- terved impeachment had he acted otherwise than he has done, or allowed our civic liberties to be | filcbed away without manful resistance. But the | rightfulness or wrongfulneas of Mayor Wood's | condact is a very small incidental, unimportant matter; the real question at issue is—Ilas the Albany Legislature a right to strip us of our | chartered rights, and appoint police, build city halls, lay out parks for us, with our moncy, with- out our consent? That is the only question that is really worth | discussing at the present crisis, aad that question the Seward organs have never once touched. Once more we repeat that we have no objec- | tion to the establishment of any quantity of Metropolitan Police by the State, provided, of course, that they are paid by their employers and | not by us who have nothing to do with them. The more police there are, the safer life and | property should be; and we shall not complain | if the Btate chould bestow @ thuasand upon us. But what we do oppose and res'st, and shall re- sist to the uttermost constitutional limits and by | any and every means lawful and manful, is the abolition of our chartered rights hy the Legisla- | ture, the disfranchisement of this city, the soan- | dalous breach, by the Legislature, of the com- | pact between the city and the State expressed in | every charter that we ever had, and confirmed in | the very last—the attempt, ia a word, to strip us | | of our natural rights of self-government, and to | _ inaugurate, in this State, the policy of State | | centralization and municipal nothingness which | has led to the present helplessness and political ruin of France. These nefarious endeavors of | | Mr. Seward and his friends at Albany will meet | with an unwavering resistance by the bulk of the | : people of this city; and this, not only because | we have our own rights to defend, and will do- | fond them, but because we have an example to set to the other cities of the State which will be | next attacked, should the political usurpers suc- | ceed in disfranchising us. | Tae Deere or Porvration ty Faaxcr.—- | The papers are still commenting on the apparent | decline in the population of France, as shown by the lately published census returns, All take it for granted that, as these returns fail to show an increase, and as there is no large tide of French emigration to some foreign country, the popula- tion of France must be clearly on the decline. We have no faith in this proposition. France is and bas been for the past quarter of a century, with slight intervals, a prosperous couatry, The reasons which may be urged for the non-increase of population in large cities do not apply to the | rural districts. There has been no large consump- tion of life by epidemics or wars. In the abeence, therefore, of a nataral canes for the phenomenon alleged to exist, we think it more reasonable to suppose tbat some facts have | been overlooked than that a change like the one supposed can have sprang from no cause at all. | | It is @ fact that Frenchmen and I’rench women | are filling exclusively an immense number of | pceitions in the cities of Europe which, formerly, | were filled by persons of other nativity. All the | | hairdressers, all the modisier, most of the rules, | cooks, femmes de chambre and courriers, a large | proportion of salesmen and saleswomen in fashion | storee, and etores for ojefs de vertu, are French, | throughout Earope. The French population of St, | Petersbarg, London, Berlin, Vienna, Madrid, Dres- | den, Moscow, and the smal! German cities is enor- | mous. The French have in fact overepread | Europe. How could this be accomplished with- | the bouse dear enough to pay him for the shaves, The whole system is one of credit. Let a pinch come, and the margin of the speculator will go. Then the usurer will fall upo@ him and not get out without damage. Indeed, it will not always happen that evcn the inswrance company will escape. Public progress implies private suf- fering; New York is a monster which advances by stridicg over the corpses of its children. Tne Larsst Frexca Deravirer.—Monsieur Thurneyesen, late banker of Paris, and as- sociate of De Morny, Perevie, and the other cemi-geds of the Credit Mobilicr, fled from Paris some Gays since, leaving debts amouatiog to a trifle under five millions of dollars, and made his escape to this countey, His namo will not be found in the list of passengers by the late steamer, because M. Thurneyssen is a man of too much judgment to travel under his own name; but he came nevertheless, and arrived safely, and is staying now in a comfortable home in this country. That home is not unknown either to the police or the French Consul. We have reason to believe that M. Thurneyssen’a movements have been known from first to last But he has not been arrested. The English papers eay that the French govern- ment have teken active measures to procure the extradition of M. Thurneyssen under the treaty. But we see from the French organ in this city and we suspected long before that thie was a case which the treaty would be found inadequate to cover: not co much—as our French cotemporary says--from deficiencies in the treaty, as trom a very marked deficiency in the will of the French government. Monsicur Tharneyssen has been for years the associate of the speculators who, under the friendly protection ofthe government of France, have made that country a nest of gamblera. Ie had much to do with the Credit Mobilier, and much with all the other schemes hatched by the same party. He knows the devices by which De Morny and other aotables of Paris and intithate associates of the Emperor raised themselves from comparative indigence to the rank of millionaires; for he was one of them from first to last; and like M. Place, who breke for near a million sterliag just a year ago, he hasonly broken loose fromthem now, because he was less adroit than his col- leagues in keeping himeelf afloat. It is for this reason—-from fear of the disclo- sures he might make—that we foresee that the Freach government will discover that the treaty docs not reach his case. The treaty was broad enough aud long enough to reach the case of poor clerks of Rotkscbilds who caught the speculative mania from their surroundings and went wrong; all the power ard money of the French govern- TT THE LATEST NEws.

Amateve Newsrarer Mex.—About this sea- son every year, the mails come to us charged with letters from young gentlemen in all parts of the country, informing us of their intention to travel to Europe and kindly offering to act as our correspondent duriag their absence. Some are from old, some from new hauds. Some start with the cheering announcement that they “are confi- dent they can write letters that will make a mark in your columns’’—that they enjoy “an extraor- | dinary facile wee of language with an experience | of ——- years;” and that if properly stimulated, ‘though they cannot promise they would always be brilliant, they will answer for it they shall not | be dull.” Others, again, are from more modest aepirants to fame. One is from a young man in Mhealth, who secmingly bases his prospects of | usefulness as a correspondent on the decay of his lungs. Another is from a collegian, whose yoath- ful mind is fired by what he has read, who de. | sires to “travel and judge for himself,” yet who cannot do so unless we “engage him as corres- pondent, for his father is not willing to incur the full expense of ihe journey.” We suppose that of such applications we receive full one hun- dred every spring. It may be as well to state, for the benefit of aspiring young men, that correspondents are never engaged by leading daily papers on the sys- tem our friends seem to suppose, The Baropoan correspondents of the Henarp are tried men who by long practice in journalism, and generally, con- siderable expcrience of a connection with us, know precisely what to write and how to write it. It would take a young graduate of a college in the United States, if he were “start,” about five years to fit himself to take such a post as they fill. During these five years, his letters would be enormously expensive to us, thongh gratui- tous, if we printed them. It is one of the peculiaritics of modern society that every one fancies himeclf capable of editing a newspaper or writing a paragraph. Men are not given to believe that they can make « boot, ora poir of breeches without having served an apprenticeship at the trades required; nor is it usual for young men about town to undertake to | treat a patient for paralysis, or to plead a case in court, without some preparatory training. But every man, woman and almost every child believes that the duties of an editor are innately acquired by every mind, Hence the letters which deluge us, So far as our experience goes, there are more men in the country who could make a pair of boots, treat a sick person, plead before the Supreme Court or drive a steam engine, without previous trafning, than there are who could edit a paper without previous apprenticeship to the profession, | any out ® loss of population at home?

It seems now pretty certain that 2.500 now houses are built every year, at a cost of not much less than twenty millions of dollars. Tais money is for the most part borrowed. A spoculator bays lots, on which be pays little or nothing ; he builds a house which costs him fiftecn thousand dollars; he borrows from an insurance company at low rates, five thousand, and five thousand more at higher rates from usurers, and perhaps keeps paper afloat for the balance; 0 shinning along in the hope that he may sucoved In sling riage.
