The vessel has been ordered back to Quarantine, where, on examination, evidence of the untruth of the statement was elicited, os reported for the Hunan elsewhere. On Saturday night a riot took place in the Eleventh ward, in consequence of a collision be- tween the Metropolitaa and Municipal poiice. The Monicipal men bad two of their number arrested for interference in an altercation between certain “ Me. tropolitans” and a prisoner who refused to resognise them. Toe Manicipal men were led off by a squad of twenty from the new station, the prisoner being left to eseape. A great crowd gathered around the Metropolitan station and for a tine threatened its destruction, which wonld have been secomplish™ ed bad it not been protected by the Municipal men, After the two policemen were bailed out ($300 each) quite a demonstrat(on took place. Great ex- citement prevailed through the night, and when two of the Metropotitan police ficaly went forth to patrol, one was stabbed and both so badly beaten that no others ventared ont afterwards. The Commiseioners of Emigravion have notified the Sheriff of Richmond county, Staten Island, rela- tive to the threats that have been made to burathe hospital buildings at the old Quarantine, and his duty in the premises, which they allege, under the existing act, is to take ali legal means to protect the property in question. Under the legislative act in force it 98 claimed that Richmond county will have to indemnify the State for any injury that might be Cone to the Quarantine property turengh any riot or mob, the instigators and leaders of which belonged to Staten Island. It is understood that ander the laws referred to action will be taken to recover from Richmond county the loss sustained iu the recent éestzuction of the buildings on the Wolf farm- Ragan, the msn against whom complaint was en- tered by the Health Officer before Justice Welsh, of this city, for c-mmnunicating with vessels avd pas- sepgers under quarantine, contrary to the health laws of the port, was arrested on Saturday, and will be speedily brought to trial. McKelvey, one of the officers of the Metropolitan Police force, stationed at the old Quarantine, arrested upon a charge of assault and battery against Ragan, but who did not appear on Tuesday last at the examination, on Sa- turday maco a voluntary surrender of himself and gave bail to appear for trial upon the charge pre- ferred against him at the next Court of Sessions of Richmond county.

The Muntetpay Case In the Court of Appents, The more the question involved ia the consti- polit c act ts pondered, the greater dees ite importance seem, and the heavier the respon- sibility this week throwa on the Court of Appeals in thie State, it is really one of those hi-oricat cares which the future ancalist will quote, and which will rescue a Jadge’s name from oblivion. ‘There arc three aspects in which the point in litigation at present may be examined. Toe firet we may call the legal or constitutional aspect. In this point of view, the question that is sabmitted to the Court of Appesisis siinply whether there be anytbing in the existing coostitution, in letter or in epirtt, that ie at variauce with the letter or the spirit of the Metropolitan Police act. This ix a lawyer's queetion.

This is a political view, from the stand-point of the history of the State. This Is perhaps even more instructive than the others. In the first free constitution ever adopted in this State, namely the constitution of 1777, provision was made for the election of certaia Officers, local, municipal and State, by the people. As compared with the elective offices of our day, the offi es of that period were few and scarce. The vast majority of the public officials were, by the constitutioa of 1777, ap- pointed by a body termed the Council of Appoint- meats, consisting of Senators eelected annually by the Assembly, and presided over by the Govor- nor, All the patronage of the State was in the hands cf this Council of Appointments, and for forty years or more, it was the dispenser of spoils and honors. As time wore on, however, there arose in this State a young democracy with Mar- tin Van Buren and other young men at its head; these youthful aspirants to fame and place, re- belled aguinst the Conncil of Appointmeats, and agitated tor a reform in the constitution. It took many years to ensure the success of their views, but they carried their point at last, and adopted a new constitution in the year 1821. The idea of this constitetion was to break down the old Council of Appotatments, waich was represented by the ardent democracy of the time as an Old Man of the Mouatsin cliag- ing to the neck of the State, Accordingly while provision was made in the new constita- tion for the election of common councils, sheriffs and county clerks by the people of the counties, the appointment of most of the other adminis'rative officers was entrusted to the Governor and the Senate. This was believed fo be an excelleat system; and uader it Martin Van Buren made himself a great man, and Mr. Fiogg, Mr. Marcy snd others did preity well. As soon, however, as a new gencration of democrats grew up, an oppositioa to the new system—and to its agents, who were termed the Atbany Regency—was organized. Not only did it compiise the youthful portion of the democracy, headed by Michael Hoffinan, of Herkimer, but it rallied around its bannor the new party of which the leaders were William H. Seward and Thurlow Weed, and which, having started political life on the platform of anti-ma- eopry, found it impossible to live on so narrow a basis, These Sewaed and Weed men comb'ning with the young democracy, clamored 0 perse- veringly for an amendment of the constitution that at length, in 1546, our present State consti- tution was elaborated by the convention. One of she ciet purposes of this new coastita- tiqn was the reversal of the policy of ceutraliza- tion at Albany which bad been faithfally cartied out as well by the Albany Regency as by the Council of Appointinents. The Seward men and young democrats were, they say, opposed to cen- tralization in any shape; and certainly their con- stitution did its best to decentralize power, and distribute ii wrere it belongs among the people. ‘This is the last historical stand-point. Now, we eee this same Seward and Weed faction re- pentiog of the work they hekped to do twelve years ago, and endeavoring to retrace their steps in order to gain for themselves the sang position occupied formerly by the Albany Regency and the Council of Appointments Governor King is merely the sgent of the new Regeacy, planned by Seward & Co., and the recent usurping Legisla- tureat Albany, over thecity of New York. These atrocious six or seven acts form the first step in the corrupt aud audacious policy of William H. Seward to rule and regulate this great State in sll future movements of the nation, as old Van Buren perpetrated from 1624 to 1840, The re- cent insolent and Dlegal attempt by the Goveraor to appoint a Screet Commiseioacr on the death of the late incumbent, is only carrying oat the same eudscious game by @ coup dctat, utterly unpa- ralicled in the history of this country, and can find o precedent in the historical records of a republic and empire. » Judges of the Coart of Appeals, knowing how clear a light men’s motives aud antecedents | shed on their acts, will not fail to devote due con- ration to thie historical retroepect of the ques- of appointments and local tiberties In this Ptate, wet Comsassronen—Tar Governor's Tus SquaweLy ror Fotry may Srona,— The | death of ir.

King, the refusal of Deputy Street Com- | wissiorer Turner to recognize the Governor's authority in the premises, the movements of the Board of Aldermen for the lion's share of the pois. the veluc of the plunder icvolved, and other very facts upon the subject. We carrot aceourt for the absard presamption of Gov. King, in making this appointment of Me. | Conover as Sireet Commissioner, exc ept upen the tupposition that the blood of the Kings “being up” the Governor is resolved to resist the authority of onr Mayor, at every polat, right or wrovg. The law is explicit and positive fo this tatter. Under the new charter, (section 19,) the Mayor, by aod with the advice and consent of the Beard of Aldermen, is dircetly in- vested with the power of appointing all heads of departments (excepting the Comp- trotler and Corporation Counrel), and by sec- tion 21, the Mayor, with the consent of the Board of Aldermen (a two-thirds vote) may remove, for cause, the head of say department, excepting the Comptrolier and Corporation Counsel Gov. King knows this to be law; but we suppore he stands upon the pitifal quibble that the law ia making no special provision for filling euch a va- cancy as this of the Street Commiesioner, occs- sioned by death, the power of the appointment reverts to the Governor. But the intent and meaning of the lew are clear enough, and this appointment by the Governor fs simply an offen- tive, insulting, preporterous and demoratizing act of usurpation. What rense can there be in this pretence ot Me. King, and what value can there bein this aseumed power to appoint, when the man put by the Governor into this Street Commissioner's office today, may be lawfully and properly bicked out into the etrect by the Mayor and Aldermen to-morrow, and superseded by their appointment? Such ore the desperate shifts and tricks of Mr. Seward’s black republican oligarchy at Albsay, to reduce th'e metropolle avd its people into sub- tiseion, and into a recognition of the claims of Mr. Seward for the Presidency in 1560. Ia tho menntime it will be secon that the Board of Aldermen, in their ravenous de- mands for the spoils, are adding till Oquabble. How it is all to end it is diffcuk to conjecture; but we suspect that Goversor cover that, as the Street Commissioner, he is the merest man of straw that waa evs get up ad an official scarecrow. ‘Tar Burvrixn Estare—Tue Tau Berork Tar ScrroGaTe.—The public interest that was excit- ed and fore long time maintained in the pub lic mind, in reference to the myeterious marder of Dr. Harvey Burdel!, has been replaced by an equally strong interest in reference to the ques- tion of his marriage to the woman who has re cently been tried and acquitted on the charge of murder. To be sure, the two questions are allied by the closest sort of connection. If it be really the fact tbat her alleged marriage was # mere trick and artifice, the fact of her having resorted to that contrivance would bear with damaing weight against her on the point of murder. We mean of course, that it would be a moraily con- vinoing fact, although she could not again—no matter what new evideuce may turn up against her—bo paced on trial for the murder. Itis uot at all improbable, however, if her ctaim to the mnarriage be upset and new facts come to light, thet she might be put on trial for conspiracy to murder. At present, however, the great poiat of interest is, not as to whether she waa bis as sassin, but as to whether she had been bis lawful wife and is bis widow snd entitled to her dower. This is the question that has occupied the Sur- rogate’s Court throughout the space of time that bas elapsed from within a week after the murder to the present time. The Surrogate, unlike Judge Davies on the murder trial, has admitted all corts of evidence bearing in the remotest de gree, not only on the principal facts themselves, but on all sorts of collateral facts that have any tendency whatever to confirm or to weaker the tes- timony of witnesses, even on ucimportant points, Consequently, this struggle for the property is infinitely more interesting and involved than was the solemn trial of the womaa for life or death. We bave had @agurreotyped in the moet miaute rasaner the filthy and divgusting scenes that were daily and nightly enacted in 31 Bond street We have bave had the coarse, brutal. lustful life of the murdered man portrayed ia indellible colors, We have hed the passions of that man sad of that woman—who are now immortalized in the annals ot vice—depicted in every shade and tint. We have had traced the course of those passions from their first exhibition in the form of concubinage on through the varying stages of abortion satiety, jealousy, disgust, hatred, contention, to their final developement in the horrible and mysterious tragedy of the S0th of Januery. There have been enough dizgnsting details brought to light in connection with this case to make the groundwork of adozen romances of the Eugene Sue or Reynolds school. The only thing for which the writer weuld have to depend colely on his imagination would be tonie light, some purity, come truth, some innro- cence, a8 a relief to the mass of darkness, false- hood, impurity and crime, which alone the pic- ture presents. All throughout the case there is not apparent one glimpse of brightness. It is all biack—disguetingly, impenetrably black. A review of the testimony taken before the Suirogate reveals, besides these iniquities, other startling proofs of the general immorality. There is nots single fact, of greater or micor importance, that has not arrayed any number of witnesses ready to swear and swearing in the affir- mative of the question, and an equal number ready to swear and swearing directly in the negatie. The most reckless sort of perjury stares one at every stage of the examination. Father swears against son, brother againet brother, friend agaiust friend, witners againe! witnees, in reference to any and every fact and incident in the case. In fact, it the whole matter, including the very existence cr murder of Bardell, were.a fabrication, s myth, from beginning to end, tuere could not have beea a greater amouot of grossly false swearing than there has been in this vulture fight over the car- case. It is brutal, discusting, horrible. After all, the Surrogate has only to decide be- tween the evidence ot Miss Augusta Cunning- ham, standing alone as it does, to all intents and parposes—with that evidence impeached and contradicted on collateral points—and the evidence furnished by all the cireum- stances of the cate, As to the oral testi- mony developed, it is worth absolutely nothing, The only matter of value or reliability is that supplied by tho attendant and surrouading cir- cumstances. The strongest circumstance ia favor of the marriage is this: Here was the cunning, plotting, artful women—as she is represented to be—bringing a suit for breach of promise of mactiege sgainet this reputed!y wealthy man —a eult co well based as that he would not de fend it. The suit ie discoutinued at or about the time of the alleged marriage. What cons‘dera- tion, likely to be adequate and to eatisty this sedeming woman's demeuds, was given for the discontinuance of the auitt If not marriage, as ehe alleges, what was the consideration? That, we say, is ibe strong circumstance in support of her claim. The strong circumstances oa the other éide of the queetion arc—the absence of ali mat- mmonial, friendly, or even intimate relations be- teeen she perties subsequent to the cate of the alleged marriage; his invariabie revilinge of her; bis brutal, insulting epithets towards her in speech and writing; aad fcally the measures taken by bim to get rid of herself and family by letting the house to others, Betweon these two conflict ing series of circumstances the qnestion lies; and it le upon his views of the probabilities, and not on bis views of the testimony—which is utterly onreliuble—that the Surrogate must actually de- cide the claims of the parties, We have not been sbig to understand, how- ever, why it is (except that it is perfectly con- sistent with the general manaement of the case,) that Mr. Eckel bas not been examined. The the- ory of the cave made by the Burdell heirs is, that Eckel personated Burdell before Marvine, the clergyman. The beet possible rebutting evidence would be that of Eckel himself, who has a fair reputation ta the community, notwithstanding his nofortunate connection with the case. If the trial before the Surrogate closes without his be- ing examined, it will have to be classed ae judi- cial farce number three. Geyrnat, Waccer ann mis Fontowrra—We recommend to our enthusiastic filibustering de- voteos of General Walker, (formerly President, by proclemation, of Lower California and So- nora, and late onc of the two cotemporancous and rival Presidents of Nicaragua) that instead of wasting their inngs and their money in the empty glorification of their chief, they should nominate bim at once ax their candidate for Pre- sident of the United States.

Some of her crew died after she left, bat there was no sickness on board when she arrived Dostor ‘Thompson, however, ordered ber to the Quarantine anchorage in the lower bay, where she will re- main thirty days before she will be permitted to come up.” There is a prospect in the new sqaab- ble over the Street Commissioner, and the spoils of his office, that our atreeta mey continue to be 60 neglected as to produce~a plentiful crop of cholera; but we may at least console ourselves that we are as yet as exempt from the yellow fever as on last Christmes day.
