THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 7590. Final Secession of the Slack Republican Cap- talns—Phe Last Tableaux of the Revoit— | Perter, Curnbull and tikes Oeciare—ten. Bye vs. Mayor Wood—Scenes and Speeches @t the Stations—Amusing and Humorous Separation of the Rivel squads, dic. The White street Commissioners have wound up the ret act of their police comedy. Last evening the curtain evcended upon the closing tableaux of the revolt and s¢- ‘eersion from the station houses, Captains Porter, Turn- ‘dell and Diike foot up our Hat of the black repablican cap- tales, a: given in tbe report of tho meeting at Mr. Draper's hhewse, in Fifth avenue. The league then indicated, a8 the pledged and compromised men in the movement, will e-day exactly cover the secessions as completeg by tho Anal stampede yosterday. They are as folows:— capsain bas budged, and the minor in every imstance, presented a like upon political grounds, as far as te recessions bave gone. The revolt as to patrolmen has been of a like texture, and has scarcely ex. veded the estimate of the Hrratn to wit : about 260, ‘This will leave about 1,000 of the regnlar force still undis- ‘erbed under the Chief and the Mayor, The vacancies ig been partially filled, the rest, as far aa it shall be expedient, will shortly be made compiete. old station houses remaining as city property, and tm every instance being occupied by the municipal police, fadependent station houses have beer opened in all the ‘wards where any material secessions havo taken place. Since the explosion of the firat abortive schemes and ex- Fetiens get on foot by Mr. Draper and backed up by |, the entire management of the business of the p> fee Board has fallen into the hants of Gen. Nye. Any wort of grip which has been obtained jn the department thus fer bas clutched chiefly wrough the persistent cool ‘ees and tact of the general He hes devoted his entire time wo the organization and detail of the White street conoera, everything from the new buttons to the big safe has had bis manipulation. In the ces-ions of the Board thera are scarcely ever more than fwur members (a quorum) Prerent. Of these Commissioner Cholwell mskes the ®@ ending minority, as the anti black rep»blican section of the Board. fhe three black sheep—Draper, Bowen and Swranshav—of course give Cholwell no sort of show; but do any valid act they must have tve quorum or fourth ‘vote of Gen. Nye. ce, the General has the whole eoncern under his thumo, whether he votes with Cholwell ‘ the opposition or with the others, when do ex- eotly as he directs. The Geaeral has, therefore, the bud- ‘ness ai] ip his own bands, and he has vat him-elf down to Jat H the battle to the end with particular grit. He is also wy er of the Board, aud bas shaped its course jnet as yauch as Mayor Wood has steered the municipal opp «ition. ‘The present fight, therefore, ie a direct set-to and grand Rattle between these two great tacticians. The General from the central counties of the State, and a trained first @ase politician and tawyer of the Albany echool, rtands pitted for the raral districts, against Feraands Wood, the ‘most seoceepeehed graduate of Tammany Halt. Tho ‘General has heretofore stood at a decited disadvantage ——— the poor and leaky sort of craft in which he finds if embarked, bnt vow that he is fairly launched and ‘whh a sort of completeness in his organized station houses, there g meral and very marked interest to see at least what sort of fight he wi! make. OLOFING TABLEAU OF THE POLICE DEFECTIONS. The General could reckon on the six captains above @unmerated, as early as the merti:g at Mr. Draper's beuse. Having betimes laid down his plan for tex these in the manner of secesions, be with Carpenter and his Filth ward. Bat Qurpen- Wr made a characteri«tic bad fzze in the Fifth, and his elevation to the Leputy:bip ail but scuitied the Commis- won. A far more efficient man wax steadily and shrewdly gupported by the General, but Draper and Bowen lagged the Jonab abourd, and heuce the comparative failure of fhe General’s tactics. Indeed the failure was for sone time complete, until the oj ening mae by the Cholweil se- eension in the Ninth ward. That breach was followed up the next night by the General, who at last swayed over Carpenter's Fifth. Since that he bas played out by special wieks each card in bis bane, keeping the stations of furn- Dull aod Dilke for bis iast tumps—th» latter going over fm a body hast night. By this arrangemeas some oil: ct has ether station re taken yy e over the Commissioners. So now the General has at last a li te corps Lo lead out te the battle. THE DIVISION IN TEE FIGUTH WARD. @ therough nnderstand! ¢ had been had by Capt. Turn- bull, of the Eighth patrol aistrict, in regard to the pur- of the Commis jonere, and the superior intelligence of officers aud men caused him from the Orat to ‘web extreme caution in his dealings with their interests. Lat evening at rol call be tually concluded to order a division of bis foree, wtih a view of ocsuvying the new Ration honse, Merrit’s Hall, 185 Spring street, provided ~—o ee cae wae an ‘pen regular telegraph from Chief's office, he ordered his men into line, and proceeded to ex- plain to them bis purpose. He raid it was his intention ‘te cai} ibe roll this evening at 185 Spring street, in obe- @ence to an order which he exhibited from the Albany Cemmissioners, He took this course for himself, and would net under the order as recognizing the law with which were ali famili, and which concluded t> accept for his guide, did not however intend to urge a like course upon his men. ‘They were al) as capadie to judge for themselves in this emergency as he wa. He purposed to leave this station Doure forthwith, and call the roil of the district at half part aight in the new quarters = There who saw Atte act wih Rim under the new authorities would answer to thew names there. Sich as should resolve to abide ‘the old, would doubtless remain ip their present juer tere with Lieut. Kobler, and he would accordingly neent without leave’ to the new Commis- He then, in aceordance with @ previous arrangement, dentred the roll to be called by the |ioutenant. Lieutenant Konler remarked upon the disagreeable ne- eresity of having a question of the present character forced ‘ep in their consideration aud decisioa, It hai been care fully avoided, however, as far as possible, Now it mast be met, however, and he Koow the men of this station ‘wonid promptly bring their miads to the sticking place. He thought the mort expedient way would be, since the jo muct have aldiv! ion of the men, was to call the roll of the men fo that they mighs manifest openly their purpore to go or stay, by answering as each name was iew"? or © Ola,”’ which should be signs of their } would anderstand. objected that he recognized only one sethority, which be nad been accustom od wo recognise, ud that to dorignaie that at “o'd’”’ might be to give the tm -ression that there was another, which he for one flatly denied.

It wae passed unanimously, aad the doo- yor’a remarks complimenting the captain, received with moch gratification. The captain responded in a very in- genious and fesling manuer, aliuaing to his seven years intercourse with the men, and bis great reiuctance fo be thus comp: led to divide them.

Both the lieutewants responded. ‘The men were then dispersed to their beatae on the one haod, and marched off w the new station on the other. ‘This was a most amiable exhibition of the progressing war, and would have done credit to the days of chivairy in view of the courtery with which \t was managed.

It was understood that the Agamem- non and the Terrible had been detached for the ser vice by the Admiralty—the former to take one half the cable oo board, and the latter to act asan escort; but in cone. quence of the pew arrangement it is probable that the ‘Susqnebanna, which is one of the Mnest steamers in iho American navy, will attend on one of the Bri wteamers in that capacity, The Agamemnon, it was undersood hore, was to take the cable at Ureenwich, and, according to her instrucdons to that effect, passed up tbe Thames on Sunday, the 24th inat., on her way to the wharf opposite the factory, She was expected daily by Captain Hadeoa, of the Niagara, and preparations were made to alate ber as che passed Our veasel, The moment she was reported n right every one was cager to gota glimpee of ber, and hondreds of straining eyes were eagerly directed to tho point whore she had boen first seen by the jookout. We could see her masts as she rounded a bend of the river before sho came into full view, and im a fow minutes after she was entirely visible from our deck. At ‘a distance of « mile her hull seemed to risaout of the wa- ter |ike an immonre fortress, and the bluil and hoary look of her bows as she approached our ship, made her appear twice our size, There was a fine opportunity for contrast- ing the appearance of both yosels, and they certainly Presented a strong contrast, The British ehip numbere 08 funs, and it about 8,000 tons burden; while ours is 5,400 tons, and her full armament consists of 12 guns. Two rows of portholes on each side of iho Agamemnon pre ent unmistakeable evidence of her belligerent character , ‘but to all outward appearances the Niagara looks like no- thing more than an immense and beautiful clipper ship. ‘The exquisite symmetry of her outline, and the peculiar sharpnets of her bows, render the deception more com plete, for there waa apparently no attempt to make her look like what she really ia, perhaps, the first man of war in the world, na she is the fat it would be wrong yn sacrificed in her con- to speed, and that her great architect, 9 bie de sire to attain the L [Up the former requisite vensela of war the world bas ever seen. Perhaps no he tter Nhustration could be presented of the difference between her apd the Agamemuon than the manner in whiob they both make their way through the water. The Niagara is #0 #barp in the bow that she cuts it like @ North river Steamboat, while the Agamemuon, with her broad front, pushes it before her or dashes through it, leaving a wide ‘tweck of foam to mark her course, With ai) tm, how ever, the British steamer ia taid to be one of the fastest veesels in the world, and altbough a propeller, has, | have been told, attained a speed of fourteen miles ab hour. We have accomplished thirteen ourselves in the samo time, and although vnwilling to depreciate the merits of the Agemempon, it is hardly poesible that she can exceed our ship, which bas so many points in ber favor, If she gete as high as tep miles an hour ft is the utmost #be is able to do, apd it will require pretty hard steaming to Dring her up to that rate. What the Niagara has doue the veadere of the Hexary have already been informed, but it may be as well to state, in this connection, that com: ing up the Thames she ran thirteen miles an hour, ag the Agemempon neared us we could see the stars and stripes ying from her main, and when within a few hin dred yardy from the Niagara, her riggivg was manned b; from two to three hundred of her crew, while ber ou warks were crowded and each of ber portbolos had two or three spectators. it was evident tha: they fotended to give us a 6a ute, and that we should not be outdove in courtesy we made proparations to return the compliment. The order was pasted for all hands to come on deck and be ready to man our rigeipg, and ecarcely had ft been given when the Agamemnon camo steamiug, by ata rate of nine or ten miles an hour, As she puwed py three thundering cheers burst from ber decks and ebrouds, that roused the slumbering echoes on either she ‘and before they bad died away they were answere our men with one jong surtained hurrah, that reemr jeroe the very clouds. It was a different cheer from the Pnglish, and sounded as it it wanted that training and dis be by which even cheering can be subjected to naval or military rules, Tbe three that greeted us and came thundering to us from the British ship were as distinet and ae nicely graduated as if they were timed and marked by tho roll of a drum; but ours appeared to be under no re- straint, and blended and mingled in one long wild hurra like the sound of a whirlwind, It was no doubt annoying that it could not be made somewhat more conformable to rule; but as every man bad bis own theughts about the way it sbould be dope, the result waa that although they kept bad me, and, strictly speaking, were sumowhat out of order, they made ax great a poise aa the bardy fellows ‘on the Agamomuon, gnd their enthusiasm was, perhaps, somewhat wilder and more unrestrained. After one more cheer—a parting one before the British vertel passed beyond haiting distance—the riggings were cleared, and We watched her as she ploughed hee way up the Themes, part of ber hull looming up above the banks, even as rhe turned the bend in the river. The folowing day, the 25th instant, the Agamemnon, !t appears, received orders from the Admiralty to at once to Liverpool, for the purpose of shipping the cable, which is lying in the works at Birkenhead, «and about a thoueand miles of which has been manufactured. As it ‘was suppored, op to thia time, that we might sti)! be obiig- ed to go there, we were at once re-assured that it was definitely decided we rhould remain where we are. Wo re romewhat astonished when it was reported that she was coming down the river; and, although we supposed tbat she was going to Liverpool, there was yet no certainty that she had received orders to that effect Our minds, however, were soon ret at reet upon this point when she came wiltbin speaking distance. Her commander bailed our captain, and informed bim that she was going to that port. ‘*We are on our way to Liverpool,” he cried, as ho passed our ship. “We With Sou @ pleasant passage,’ our commander ro plied; and about ap hour after the Agamemnon was cut of view. The next we heard of her was that sho was ata place called Sheerness, taking ia her coals and supply of provisions and other necessary stores before proceeding to Birkenbead, The St. Jean d’Acre, a pro- pelicr of 101 guns, isto be fitted out at Devonport pre vious 10 taking the cable, which is now being mavufac- tured at Greenwich, and which our ship was originally tn- tended to lay. The reason why this change of vessels has been mado is in consequence of the much greater length of time which would be required to prepare our ship for the work. In the firet place, the water off Morden wharf, Greenwich, is not deep enengh by several fect for a ‘vessel of her drangbt, and the engineer of the Transatlantic Telegraph Company, as well as the otber officers, say it would take at least a month to dredge a piace for ber reception. Then it was found that to prepare and fit ber for the work it woul¢ be necerrary to cut away several stancheons be- tween de:ks, and to place a small engine on beard of her of twenty bose power. This engine, as I said jn a former letter, ie erpridered indispensable fer the wivding or toking up of the slack cable in tho event of the ship being obliged to back on account of \cebergs or other ob«truc- tions. The principal reason, however, is to be found in the fact that the time required for dredging would be too long to enable the vessel to take the crble on Dourd and be ready to start in oroper seassn Lievtepant Maury, im bis last etter on the subject of the submarine telegraph, says that (ue best month for the work of laying the cable is August, and if not reasy tocemmence about the middle of Auguet at the farthest, it is thought here that it would be much beiter to postpone the undertaking till next year, The four veesela—that is, the Niagara and the Susquehanna on the part of the Unite? States, and the Agamemuon and =. Jean 1)’ Acre on the part of Great Britain—must therefore be ready to sail from England about the latter part of July, readezvous at Cork, apd be out in the mid ocean, at an eqnal distance from Trinity Bay, in Newfoundland, and Valentia Bay, in Treiand, the two points of covpection op each side, by the middie of August at the very latest. There ia no doubt that all this can be accomplished if the com-any are rea- sonibly expecitious in te manufacture of the ¢able, aud if it is mado at the rate of only fifty miles a woek nt each factory, here is abundant tme left | should mention here, perhaps, that one of the reasons why the Niagara has been obliged to take a somewhat subordinate part ia this work is the difierence of opinion which prevailed ameng American and English engineers in regard to the coiling of the cable. While the Englich say that the best form ip which it can be coiled is that of of the opinion that the elongated coll would be lens liable to kinks in the payivg out, and that the cable could be laid from it with ‘more celerity and risk. The elongated enil has not, however, heen a lopted although it covid be formed’ou the i thie, however, Captain of epace for the coiling acc at for the reavon already spectiied—the great length of tine required to dredge out a place for the Niagara—it has beca olately necessary to employ another ressel 1a nd itis for thie that the St, Jean d'Acro has ed ‘cording to private letters received by some of the officars of the Niagara, left spezzia on the 14th Inst fopthie port, and we are now in daily expecta tion of ber arrival. She ought to bave born here before this, but a» it is not pecosrary that she should come at avy particular time within a month, her commander, it ta to be presumed, is in no great hurry about it, aed probably has stopped at a few places on his way.

She is now about sixty-five years old, and in stature is rather below ‘the medium height.
