Woe have European news to the 27th ult., brought by the Ericsson, which arrived at this port last evening from Liverpool. The intelligence is in- teresting. The cotton market was quiet, without quotable change in prices. Breadstuffs had ad- vanced, while provisions were steady at previous rates. Consols are quoted at 93/ a 933, with an inactive money market. A discussion in the British Parliament with reference to the suppression of the Cuban slave trade had furnished a text tor edi- torial azticles in the London T¥mes and Post of a peculiar character. We give these articles in our compilation of the news, and have alluded to them editorially. ‘We have news from the city of Mexico to the 16th nlt,and fsom Vera Craz to the 21st. The country was fally aroused upon the question of the reported Spanish invasion. Extensive preparations were in progres? at Vera Cruz to repel the enemy, anda | force of twenty-five thousand men was to be organ- | ized to meet the invaders. Our accounts from Madrid, received ‘by the America, represented that | the preliminaries for an amicable adjustment of the | dispute between Spain and Mexico had been entered NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE li, 1857. cattle could be purchased for $4 or $5 per head. They could be brought to this country tor about $10 or $15 per bead, and with @ steam propeller the dis- tance is about ten days. Mr.K. eaid that a peraoa had come to this country for the purpose of raising $150,000, and proposed to sell 150,000 bead of cattle at $1 per head. One million of cattle, said the speaker, are slain every year for their hides, on ac- count of their commanding such a high price. Cat- tle are so thick on the plains of Venezuela that there is no grass there. Here is a chance for am enter prising capitalist to make a rapid fortane. It is proposed to hold a national convention of watchers in Baltimore on the 10th of September next. ‘The Vuropean news recewved by the Ericsson transpired at too la’e a period tm the afternoon to produce any effect upon this market. The eales of cotton were conflact to ‘Aboot 500 a 600 bales, at about the rates given in another column, Flour was firm, with a steady demand, cloving withoct change of moment in prices, Prime to choice parcels of wheat were firm, while inferior grades were neglected, Choice Missouri white fold at $2 per bushel, and common Soutkern do. at $176, Corn was firmer, with smal! eales of Weatern mixed at O5c., which at the clore was held at 98c. a $1, and Southeru yellow was held at $1, Pork was eold at $% 50 for mess, ani 900 bbs, prime mess sold, deliverable in Boston, at $20 7 Sugars were quiet, About 700 a 800 baze Rio coffee wore sold at 11-68c. per Ib. Freights were inactive, and engagemonts to Great Britain light. ‘The Municipal Case tn the Court of Appeals, Next week the Court of Appeals will be seized with the most important legal question that has been raised in this State for many a year. We allude of couree to the euit which is to decide whether or no the Legislature at Albany has the right to invade the manicipsl precincts of this city, and administer its government to the excla- sion of the municipal body and municipal officers who are chosen by the citizens to perform those duties. It will indeed be a responsible act for the eight Judges who constitute the Court of Ap- peals of the State—the most important, in ali probability, that they will ever be called upon to perferm. They are men of learning and experience enough to admit that the real issuc in the most complicated legal controversies is usually a very smal! narrow point. Master minds cut through the brushwood of incidental points to get at this core of the dispute at once; while average intel- lecis lose themse)ves in efforts to disentangle the | surrounding superfluities. Now the whole of the dispute on the constitutionality of the Metropoli- tan Police law—though it will probably occupy several days in the argament, and exercise to the upon. The Repeblican Central Committee me‘ last night, | bat did go business worth mentioning beyond pass- | ing resolutions of condolence with the tamily of the | late Thomas Carnley, who wasoue of the republican candidates for Elector. i ‘The examination at the West Point Military Aca- | demy continued yesterday. The first class gave an exhibition of their ridine capabilitics, and the | gave them a parting address. Lieutenant | General Winfield Scott was present, as were also a | number of visiters from the neighboring hotels and | residences. Both branches of the Common Council held spe- cial meetings yesterday, and adopted resolations expressive of regret at the de:sise of Street Com- missioner Joseph S. Tayior and Dr. Vache. We grve reports of the proceedings elsewhere. The Board of Ten Governors elso held a spectal meeting yesterday, and adopted s»propriate resolu- tions relstive to the death of Mr. Taylor. Joha C. Stevens, Esq.,éied at his residence at Hoboken yesterday. Mr. Stevens was widely known sa Commodore of the New York Yacht Club. Jaage Clerke, of the Supreme Court, yesterday, upon application of the Counsel for the Corporation, -sued an injunction restraining the Commissioners of Lands and Places from eelliog the state Arsenal property, situated within the boundaries of the Central Park. The Common Council have before them an orcinance authorizing the borrowing of ¢ 000 wherewith to purchase the Arsenal site. ‘The property was to have been sold at auction yee terday, but the sale was stopped by the legal pro- cecoings. Th Police Commissioners bave reached a clear ire for two separate police systems, the parti- tans of the Albany interest being now pretty well *tapowed out from the diferent statioa houses, Tae hocas poeus of one hundred aud fifty-nine dismia sais of the municipal men was gone through with Jesterday, and the appointment of some twenty ompleted in defisnce of treir own law. xamination was had yesterday before Justice , st Tompkinsville, Staten Island, in the case | of Captain Brown and two other officers of the Me. tropolitan police force s:ationed at old Quarantine, charged with committing an assault and battery pou a man named Ragaa. It will be remembered reven ane. that these ers arrested Ragau a few days ago | upon a charge of viriting quarantined vessels in vio. tation of the health laws. It is claimed that the arrest was ‘llegal,and thus a counter charge is pre- ferred of aveault and battery agi‘nst the officers. Ons of the officers did not © for The Justice held the olber (wo to bail in the sum of $250 each to an e charge brought against them at the next term of the Richmond County Court of fsessions, At re's Point matters continoe que.

Notice was given that the blank forms | fom licences, bonda, &c., could be procured from Wm. Jay Haekett, No. 15 Centre street, Robert D, , Holmes, No. 20 Duane street, and Johan Kerr, No. 55 Leonard street. The liquor dealers seem to have entire!y ignored the Excise Commissioners. The Commissioners of Emigration met yesterJay and transacted merely routine business. It was stated that the Commissioners would act with the Noard for the removal of the (Juarantine with entire unanimity, and will take possession of the tempora- ry hospital at Seguine’s Point on the lat of July. ‘The emigration #0 far th's year has been 71,478, and the balance in bank is now $49,179 39. ‘The «pecial committee of the Board of Aldermen on toe removal of steamboat landings met yester- dey afternoon, bat nothing of importance trans. pired. A petition was presented adverse to the Proposed removal, containing upwards of 2,700 sig- matures, among which are the names of a number of cartmen, most of the Washington and Fulton | marketmnen and of the principal down town ferries. The trial of Thomas Deniny, charged with arson in the first degree, in setting fire to his grocery wtore, 562 Second avenue, on the th of September, by placing shavings vaturated with camphene be- tween liquor casks and igniting them, was com- monced in the Court of Sessions yesterday. It will be continued today. The former trial was reported at leogth in the Heap last January, and the (acts pow proven are substantially the same. | ‘The receipts of beef cattle in New York during | the past week amounted to 3,041 head, showing an pcrease of 1,268 head as compared with the receipts of the week previous. The cattle were generally of ordinary quality, and many were regarded as posi- tively unfit for food. Notwithstanding the large fupply previous prices were maintained, the rates | ranging from 10c. to 1c. per pound. Other descrip- } tious of stock were in active demand at the prices current leet week. The monopolizing operations of ‘the forestaliers have led to the organization of socie- ties of butchers in Philadétpbia and other cities for the establishment of a uniform price for the purchase of cattle and other purposes. A wimilar society is alreedy in operation in Hul- tumore. At a meeting of butchers in Philadet- phia on Mondey, Mr. Joep) J. Keefe claimed be be w representative from Verenue's, where good utmost the first legal minds of the State—turns ou the very simple question whether the people of this city have a natural right to self-govern- ment, and whether that natural right was not confirmed to them by the old Montgomerie and Dongan chartere, and re-aftirmed by every subze- quent legislative amendment of the charter up to the present day? For if the people of the city have the right of eelf-government, as a part of their natural rights as men and citizens of the United States, then it is obvious that the Legislature is not justified in performing any act which tends to deprive them of that right—as for instasce administering or appointing others to administer so important a department of the government as the police : and this being so, the act of the Legislature creating a Board of Commissioners to administer police affairs in the cify, to the exclusion of the meu elected to fill that office by the citizens, is nall, void and of no effect. If, again, the natural right—presuming that such a right exists—was confirmed to the people by the Montgomerie and Dongan charters, and re~ atlirmed by all subsequent acts of the Legislature in reference to the city, still stronger reasons would exist for nullifying the ropolitan Po- lice act of last seesion; for then it would be obvious that not only did the right exist, bat that the Legislature had repeatedly acknow- ledged it, and admitied the perfect right of the people to control not only the police but every other department of their govern- ment. In this aleo, it would seem the bounden duty of the Court of Ap; cals to bring things back to their old footing and to repel the dangerous atiempt of the Legislature to inno- vate upon constitutional principle and practice. In order indecd to render a judgment affirming the constitutionality of the law, the eight Judges of the Court of Appeals or a majority of them will have to find and to prove that no inhe bt of self-government resides ia the poe this city, or has ever been recognize islature; but that, on the contrary, th of New York is abolutely in the seme po roveviv the State Legislature, that the cities of | Rheims and Orleans occupy towards Napoleon the Third, and that we could no more resist the appointment of a Mayor, Ctty Comptroticr, and Algermen by the Governor under the aathor of the Legislature, and against our own wish than these F eh cities could resi«t the loast of the mandates of the centralized despotiem of France. If the Judges of the Court of Appeals can cou- eclentiously decide that this is our position, why, then, of course, they will bold the law good. and we hall have to ere what remains to be done, But unless they can go this far, their decision must be, practically, adverse to the To us the coming up of this question in its pre- tent shape appears to be a inening point in the history of thix country and of republican institu- tioos, It is a historical epoch, and history fortunately enables us to say positively what will he the consequence of both the courses of action which the Court of Appeals bas it in its power | to impore upon us. History tells u#, in the plain- est language, that the downfall of municipal li- berty and local self-goverpment has always been | followed by a paralysis of general liberty, and a destruction of all government; while, on the otber hand, history likewise shows us that the only country, besides our own, which has maintained throughout time dnd at every cost her municipal and local liberties is also the only country, be- cides this, which is free, powerfal, prosperous, and | progressive. It would stem strange that thie contest between States and citics had been co long delayed in this country, were the long pond ing contest between the States and the federal government, succeeded by the exciting slavery controversy, overlooked; but in fact it is only now that we have bad time to discuss this new | question. For the last twenty years, it has been imminent in this State. For twenty years or so there has existed a party at Albany bent on cen- tralizing power there, and striving, under the lead of William TH. Seward, to weaken the local authorities; while the opposite party has striven, ag strenuously. to decentralize power, and impart independent force to the extremities at the ex- pense of the heart of the State. It wae believed that this latter party bad adequately safeguard. ed its socred trust by the adoption of a constita- tion in which the decentralization policy, and the right of Independent self government for each di- vision of the community were elaborately affirm. ed. But it seems that the centralization party are not yet satiefied. It remains for the Court of Appcals to decide whetber the spirit of the constitution and the ge- nius of our inatitutions can be evaded or no; if they can, the work of the last fifteen years mast be done over again, or the practice end principle of genuine repatiicanism must be abandoned. The New Governor of Utah—His Policy and ite Probable Results, ‘The man for Utah bas been found—ao our ad- vices from Washington state—and Colonel Cam- mings will receive this week a commission from the President as successor to Brigham Young in the government of the Mormon Territory. Gen, Harney is already moving troops across the Plains to support the Governor in taking posses- sion oft his new office, should it be necessary, and vindicate the authority of the federal government Politicians, who swarm rouad every appoiat- ment that promises spoils aad safety, have foaght shy of Utah, because it was supposed that it har- bored little profit for the purse and much danger for the person. This self-condemnation on the part of the office seekers that besiege the White House is worthy of being remembered by the President in weighing their claims for more promising positions, As for the Mormons and Brigham Young, we have not the slightest idea that they are going to give Governor Cummings azd General Harney any serious trouble whatever. They have blus- tered about what they would do ia order to pre- vent the federal authority from appointing a suc- | cessor to Governor Young, and their policy has succeeded fers time. Poor Pierce and his Cabi- net were outbragged, and dared not show their | hands; but a sew rule bas been inaugurated at Washington, and the federal authority will be duly aad properly exercised in the premises. That ia all the Utah question requires. The | history of our government shows an abundance of valiant politicians who were determiacd ‘to resist the federal power to the last gasp; but | whenever Uncie Sam fairly put his foot dowa and said the thing should be so and so, it was eo and so. From the whiskey rebellion of 1747 to | the Plug Uglies of 1857, the result has always | been the same. They load their little swivel with paving stoaes and pistol bullets and scraps | of iron, and brag most valiantly; bat they never fire it. Every grown man in the country remem- bers the events of the nullification era, when @ State with hundreds of thousands of popula- | tion, unanimous, almost, in their determination upon grounds that were defended by some of the first statesmen and logicians of the time, quietly submitted to a proclamation of the President, backed by an evident determiuation to use the military arm if necessary. We anticipate precisely the same result ia Utah. If Governor Cummings goes there with none of his business, but to do everything that constitution—he will ‘find no resistance to his authority. The federal government has nothing to do with the religions creeds of men; nor whe- ther they choose one form of social organization oranothér. But it hos to see that life and pro- perty are safe, no matter what a man’s belief may be or how many wives he has. And it has further to see that when a form of State govern- ment is adopted, every man shall have a free | for the religious and social errors of Mormonism, we have no fer that they can successfully resist the lights of civilization and Christianity.

As | Coxprrios oy THE Sreanrs.—We are in the copstant receipt of communications in reterence to the abominably fithy condition of the streets of this city. It would anewer no good purpose to pablish them. There is but one feeling ia the breasts of all the residents of New York oa the subject, and that is that the city might as well be, and that in fact it practically is, without any responsible government at ail, Although our annual taxes amount to some six or seven mil- lone of dollars, our citizens have to contract with private watchmen to guard their dwellings, in lieu of potice, and with scavengers to relieve the streetsof nearly a year's accamalation of filth, Both these movemeuts are becoming quite gene- ral. There are a variety of causes operating to produce this disgraceful condition of affairs. The principal ones are, however, the unwarrantable weddling of country politicians in the affairs of the city, and the utter worthlessnes and corruption of most of those who are elected to fill our public offices, The attempts to tiaker up the charter have produced such disorder that no one can positively say who is responsible for not having the streets cleaned ; and the vileness and corruption that exist in all branches of the city government inevitably lead to the awarding ef contracts to men who have no intention to do anything but draw on the treasury for pay. So, between the ignorant impertineace of State legislators, the venality of the city legislation and tho general unfitness of municipal officers and contractors, we have a state of things that would reflect discredit on a community of Hot- tentots. The citizens of New York will have to adopt measures to rid themselves and the city of this disgrace. Hravy Sunest or t1e.—The Arabia de- parted yesterday for Liverpool with the heavy shipment of fro millions two hundred and sixty- five thousand two hundred and twenty-four dollars ($2,265,224) in specie, the largest exporta- tion of hard cash ever made ia avy ship from this port, by at least half a million of dol- lars, European dry goods and hardware, eilke, laces, jewelry, French bijuwerie, &e., &e., will account for the bulk of this little instalment in the way of exchange. About $800,000 of this sinking fund go over to the Rothschilds upon a gold shaving operation for the relief of the Bank of France.

But no sooner were they invested with a | little official authority, than they proseeded to use it and abuee it, in concocting a plot for the con- | trol and management of the party in this city and | State, through the secret and thimble-rigging | machinety of Sammany Hall.

No clue hes the affair, as they were reported at the Chiefs office yes- terday, are as follows: — Mr. de le Vege came on from New Orleans in the stom. er, @ fow days ago, having in his possession $20,000im doubloons and $300 in silver. He took lodgings at the he- tel No, 43 Walker street, and there conveyed the specie, which he put into a couplo of bags, and then locked it up in his trumk. While absent from bis room on Tuosday night, some persons, he gaye, broke into bia room, opened bis trupk, aud oarried off all the money, On his retarm, about 11 o’cleck, he discovered that he had been rob- bed, and cleanod out of ali the ready cash bad in his posession. Te immediately gave the ‘apd queationed the inmates of the house rolative nature could be | pte | me sey 4 White cora, 960. a | Gauny | form Twook | Oa the | fh A ee tea aifair, but nothirg of a respecting the robbery. He then to the office, iv the Park, aod acquainted Serjeant Owens of fact, but no effort was made to hunt up the thieves. Tt was not uotll oe that any steps were taken the matter, The rod a reward of $5,000, gave the police such informerion as ho hoped would: mately lead to the recovery of his doubloous. Hi the best of bis belief the robbery was committed persone who followed bim from Now Orleans for pese. On bis voyage to this city he observe: nad persons ou board, and be au; ve been watching him closely every eo] arrival this when and discovered. He says be did not tell any ono guide that he had this we anount of money ‘and this fact leads him to infer that the robbery — by some persoxs who followed him gs ¢ afternoon Mr. de la V« Justice Welsh, at the Lower Police Court, and 6! he understood a stranger had taken lodgings in the room pext to him, on the day of the robbory, and that he was ecen taking his departu:e from the hotel'in a carriage Ua same evening. Further, that one of the waiters in the hotel told him that this suranger was accompanied by @ man whom he supposed was the complainant's guide. Mr. de la Vege thought that there might be somo com- plicity between bis guide and the stranger n question, and wished the magisirate would investigate the mater. Otticers Sweeny and Steele, of the reserved eorps, were ordered to produce the guide and the s! in question. ‘They did so, but upou an examination it was found that they were 7 innocent in the mater, and were accordingly discharged. Tnere seems to be a great deal of rivalry in thie case between some of the officers of the old and new Commission, engaged in ferretting out the rob- bors, It was feared that a collision would take place estorday,, in consequence of some high words that ensued ween two members of the department as; to the reward of $5,000 offered for the recovery of the stotem moncy, but everything bas passed off quietly so far.
