The news is of little importance. The Overland mail bad been telegraphed, but the news from China was unimportant. The position of affairs in Canton river was unchanged. The subject of the rejection of the Dallas-Claren- don treaty was brought up in the House of Com- mons on the 28th. Lord Palmerston went into a detailed explanation of the circumstances, and stated that the British government had proposed an addition to the article as amended by the United States, which would have made the cession of the Bay Lslands conclusive only upon the acceptance by Honduras of the conditions and stipulations pro- posed. That proposal had been sent the United States,and the matter was still under negotiation. j Yesterday they visited Blackwell's Island and other places of interest. Both branches of the Common Council have agreed in authorizing the City Inspector to clean the strects without delay, and the Mayor is alone wanting to enable the first named officer to proceed with the work. As soon asthat is obtained the City Inspector will com- mence cleaning the streets of the entire city. We hope the Mayor will not let the responsibility of deloy rest long upon his shoulders. Io the Board of Councilmen last evening a reso- lution was adopted restraining the Comptroller from paying any bills for the building of a new City Hall until authorized by the Common Council. Tbe Board concurred with the Aldermen in authorizing the City Inspector to clean the streets forthwith: bat, on motion, the second resolution was amecded by giving the discretionary power in makiog con- tracts to the Common Council, instead of to the City Inspector. A committee of conference was ap- pointed to draw up ordinances and specifications. ‘Tbe Excise Commissioners met yesterday, but did not succeed in doing anythiag beyond receiving three petitions for licenses to sell liquor, which they will sct upon next Saturday. So far the liquor Gealers have encceeded in completely ignoring the existence of this Commission. As Judge Capron has been chosen on behalf of the Temperance Allian»e to prosecute such as do not comply with the requirements of the law, we will doubtless soon have the excise law before the courts, where its con- stitationality will be tested. The officers and otbers connected with the Street | Department held a meeting yesterday and adopted resolutions of regret at the death of their chief, Joseph 8. Taylor, Fsq., and tendering condolences to the family of the deceased in their painfal bereave- ment. A committee was appointed to make ar- rangements for attending the funeral, which takes piace this afternoon from the church corner of Chrystie and Broome streets. The trial of the case of the brig Ellen, seized some weeks since in the harbor of New York on suspicion of being a slaver, was commenced in the United States District Court yesterday. Captaia Faunce, of the cutter Washington, testified that Van Vechten, the master of the Elien, admitted a fort- night before she was seized tha’ she was to engage in the slave trade. Julius Van Vechten, a brother of the master, deposed that he lodged information with the District Attorney that led to the seizure of the brig. Captain Van Vechten appears to be quite | acharacter.

The Niagara continued to attract crowds of visiters. Lady Franklin and a large party of ledies and gentiemen visited the ship on the 27th ait. We bave details of news from ‘he City of Mexico to the 16th ult. The repoblis continued quict, and the Preeidential canvass was just beginning. Comon- fort is the only prominent candidate as yet, the progresistas not being able to unite upon one. Col, Crabbe and fifty-eight men were executed in So- nora. one lad only being pardoned. Fears were en- tertained of an inundation in the city of Mexico from the rising of the lake. Preparations for a war with Spain occupied the attention of the govern- ment. A large and enthusiastic meeting of citizens was beld at National Hall, Canal street, last evening, for the purpose of making preliminary arrangements for (he reception of General William Walker, soon to orvive in this city. Addresses were made by Siijah F. Pordy, chairman, Colonel Fabens, J. B. Fog . Captain Creighton, Isanc Boyce, A. J. | Plomb and others; a series of resolutions was passed, and s committee of arrangements appoint- ed. We give a fall report in another column. The Committee on Streets of the Board of Coun- cllmen held a meeting yesterday to hear parties in regard to the widening of Narsau street. There was an unusally large attendance of interested par- ties, who almos! ananimonsly opposed the project. ‘They etrovgly remonstrated against having Na-sau street widened, so as to become an avenue for cars or stages, saying it isa street for foot passengers, and if opened like Proadway to the omnibus in‘creat it would be impossible tor foot passengers to get along in or cross over it—that the banking interest s fast coming ap from Wall «treet into Nassau, and na few years this latter street will bethe chief banking street in the city. They were willing t» give up their property if the city would pay as much for it ea private perties wonid; bat this the city could not do, sothey entirciy objected to any at- tempt to widen the sect, and muintained that the project was only got up by and for the omnibus and railroad interest. Councilman Ottorson, the anthor of the resolution upon which the meeting was called, pleaded his innocence of any rvi'way or omn‘bas in- terest, stating that he introduced the resolution merely because be thought the widening of Nassau | street would relieve the lower part of broadway. The final secessions of police took place last evening from the municipal station houses. The Nighth, Twelith and Fifteenth wards divided, thas completing the number of commands in the wards of the republican captains. The proceedings were | all marked by good feeling and quiet, orderly method. The recent long continaed rains have swollen the | rivers throughout the country. On the 9th inst.a freshet carried away the embankment of the Gene- hold evening sessions, as three hours each day have been occupied by Recorder Smith and Mr. Busteed in mental sparring. Last evening the Recorder said that had it not been for circumstances which it was unnecessary for him to state, he would have com- pelled Mr. Busteed to conduct the case differently, Judge Rassell, before whom the case was tried in January, will be examined this morning. The sales of colton yestertay embraced about 4,000 bales, about 2,000 of which wore in transita, Prices, as far as we could learn, especially on lots im store, were without quotable ehange.

It is a policy terribly offensive to the Southern nigger drivers, and quite as distasteful and repulsive to Northern nig- ger worshippers; but it is satisfactory to the in- termediste Unionloving and conservative masses of the people, North and South; and this will saf- fice to sustain the edminietration in Congress be- fore tbe country and before the world. ‘We especially approve the Kansas policy laid down in the President’s inaugural, and taken up and reiterated in Governor Wa'ker’s Kansas ad- drese, for the simple reason that the law and the doctrines of popwar sovereignty and popular tights, as thus proclaimed, tally precisely with the constitutional views upon which we support- ed Colonel Fremont for the Presidency. We op- posed the eavage atrocities of poor Pierce's ex- perimental ruffian policy for making Kavsas a slave State—atrocities connived at by the Cin- cipnati Convention, and encouraged by the demo- cratic party. We preferred Fremont’s policy of a fair, liberal, monly and honeet adhesion to the constitution and the organic Kaneas law, without regard to niggers or the price of niggers, or the threats of disupien vagabonds or abolition trai- tors, We are perfectly content with Mr. Bu- cbanan’s administration, and gratified to give it our support, inasmuch as he is pursuing the exact | and identical Kansas policy which we had expect- | ed in the event of Colonel Fremont’s election— the bona fide policy of the constitution and the Kansas-Nebraska bill. We now believe that although the contest ia Kansas is substantially determined in favor of Kansas as a free State, the most interesting and exciting branches of the controversy have yet to come. Removed from the Territory, this issue of pro-slavery or no siavery will become the foot- ball of politicians, party factions and sections in the States and in Congress. The Southern ultras have already declared open war against the ad- mission of Kaneas as a free State on any terms, and ibe Northern ultras are equally ferocious against any recognition whatever of the local laws of the Territory, which the administration is compelled to respect. These conflicting elements of sectionalism and discord will enter carly and largely into the dis- cussions of the next Congress, and before the next winter is over we may expect some curious and ominous party dezertions and sectional move- ments in the House and in the Senate. But though parties and factions and sections may thus be broken up and thrown into discord, the the constitution, and adhering impartially to the popular sovereiguty ultimatum of the Kansas Nebraska bill, may defy all conspirators against the peace of the Union, North or South. Ina word, Mr. Buchanan has adopted the true policy for Kansas and the country, and in carrying it out, whatever may be the hard names, or threats, or warnings administered by nigger drivers or nigger worshippers, ze may depend upon the sup- port of the American people. Tue Vacayt Sreeer ComMisstonersiir.— There isa good deal of speculation in some of missionership just vacated by the death of the late Mr. Taylor. The office isa very valuable the old city departments under this head; it is | supposed that the patronage may amount to as much as two millions and a balf of money in the course of « year, and several thousand men. Under these circumstances an effort is being made to retain the deputy in the vacant office until the expiration of Mr. Taylor's natural term. | We cannot imagine that this will succeed. The | old law gave the power of filling sach vacancies | to the Mayor. The new law declared in express terms that at the expiration of the service of the | present (late) incumbent, it shall be the duty of | the Mayor to fill the vacaney. A quibble is raised to the effect that this direction of the new charter only applied to the termination of Mr. Taylor's service by the expiration of his term. | It matters not in the eye of | But this is futile. the law whether an official's term of service is ended by limitation or by death: the vacancy cre- ated in both cases involves the same legal conee- quences, Mr. Taylor's death merely precipitates | by a couple of years the contingency for which | | lodging costs them nothing, and the Btate pays | the uew charter provides; aud devolves upon the Mayor the duty of bestirring himself to fll the vacancy without delay. Tre Srxcm Exvort.—The export of over two | mifions and a quarter of specie, on Wednesday | in the Arabia, foliowed, as it is likely to be, by | an export of a million on Saturday, is an event of too much importance to pass without something , more than mere mention. The total receipts of gold from California for the incomplete fiscal year of 1856-57 fall short of those of the corres- | ponding portion of the fiseal year 1855-66 by ® | nearly four millions of dollars, while the total | shipments of gold from thie port for the same pe- riod exceed the shipments during the correspond- | ing period in 1855-56 by over twenty millions of | dollars, Thus the cleven months show a differ- | epee against us, as compared with the eleven | months of 1855-56, equal to twenty-four millions of dollars, Aswuming that the shipments during | the present month will continue on the present see Velley canal for a distance of three miles from | nrincipled, trading politicians” —‘ ready to sell scale, we shall have 7 abroad to Europe, dur- Dansville to the side cut.

On the same day the entire line of the Crooked lake canal was seriously damaged. It is thought, however, that the repairs will be com: | pleted and navigation resumed at least by Monday next. The Colored Home celebrated its seventeenth an- niversary yesterday afternoon, at the institation in Sixty fifth street. The exercises consisted in read- ing the annual report, singing Ly the children, and addresses. The receipts aad expenses were about 412,000 each for the year. Nothing of interest transpired at either the old or new Quarantine grounds yesterday. Donbtless the wet weather damped the spirits of the belligerents, With ao retarn of sunshine we may loek for a renewal of hostilities. We continue our report of the testimony in the Bardell estate case. Yesterday, David M. Grant, of Buffalo, testified that on one occasion Dr. Burdell pointed bis housekeeper out to him, and said he had a set of cutthroats in his house, and that he would give $5,000 if he had never seen them. Mr Wohnstone, © counsellor at law, was examined to ‘wove the declarations of Rev.

The importations | this fiscal year at this port are twenty-five mil- | lions of dollars in excess of those last year, while | the exports show only a trifling increase of some four millions of dollars, The fact is, last year, everybody expected a crisis, and was cautious; this year, people ecem to have made up their minds that all is serone, and the orders for foreign goods, in defiance of hard times in the West, and extraordinary specie shipments from this port, are exorbitantly large. The new tariff will doubt- lees tend to increase them, and favor the expan- tion of mercantile credit. It isa singular good fortune for us that con- currently with these events the decline in rail way property disengages capital enough to ena- ble merchants to carry on the busincss of the country without inconvenience. Were there as much speculation as usual in railways, money would now be very close indeed, and failures would be commoa. Are We to Have Yellow fever or No?
