The News. Under the protection of the White street police, D D. Conover attempted to obtain possession of the Street Commissioner's office yesterday. He was, at ‘the regular time for closing ¢he office, ejected by a posse of Sheriff Willet’s. The proceedings are noted elsewhere. Large forces of the metropolitan and municipal police were in attendance all day in the Park and city buildings, and the Hall of Records was all night watched by a special guard of the Municipal men. It was ramored that the military would be called out to-day, and that in view of this the National Guard would be ordered ‘to postpone their projected trip to Boston. It was also rumored that steps would at last be taken to depose Mayor Wood. The Boards of Supervisors and Aldermen met yesterday, but for want of a quorum adjourned with. out transacting any business, The majority of the Aldermen were busily engaged throughout the day | in canousing with reference to the selection of a candidate for the post of Street Commissioner. A special meeting will be held this evening, when the — matter will probably be defiaitively settled, so far, at lenst, as the action of the Mayor and Board of | Aldermen are concerned. | In the Board of Coucilmen last evening a large wsumber of unimportant reports and other routine papers passed to a third reading. The Board con- carreé with the Aldermen in appropriating $275,000 or the purchase of the State arsenal property. After considerable cisoussion the report of the Com- mittee on Lands and Places in favor of purchasing land on Ward's Island, was again referred to the Commitke of the Whole, several members thinking $20,000 an acre too high a price for the property. ‘The contract to John B.

There are certain important: relations existing between the United States on the one part, and England and France on the other, which underlie all political issnes between the parties, and which, from a distorted view, have exerted acom- manding influence over Lord Palmerston against the substantial interests and the true policy of England in reference to Central America. ‘These important relations are those commercial | and social reciprocities which are constaatly ope- rating to conciliate, aesimilate and harmonize the people of all the civilized world, and especially of Eng'and, France and the United States. Our trade with Eogland makes up full one-balf our foreign commerce, and the trade of England with the United States exceeds one-fourth of her ag- gregate foreign traffic. One-half our remaining foreign trade is with France, and one-half of the entire foreign commerce of France is with us The commercial relations, in fact, between the United States on the one part, and Eogland and This is the retroactive effect of fifty years pur- suit of abolitioniem. Hayti, Jamaica and the French West Indies, subjected to the erroneous social and economical theories of a school of mis- taken bomanitarians, have exhibited a continuous industrial decay, while the world, in its progress, was demanding from them an increase of indus- trial energy. As it is now the fashion to phrase it in commercial circles, consumption has over- taken production, and Burope must have more cotton, sugar, coffee, rice, and “other articles of almost the first necessity to European life.” The argument that is now adduced to sustain this absndonment of errors that have been so long maintained, is forcibly put by the London Times. In substance it is this:—While we have been de- manding from the tropical communities an in- crease of their staples of production, we have been striking at the root of that production by depriving them of their eupply of labor from Africa; we have sought to deatroy slave labor without finding a substitate; this was an omiseion in our policy which has nearly proved fatal, and we must now destroy slavery in America by sup- plying it with free negroes, under contract, or, as apprentices, This abandonment of erroris a homage to the truth, but it is not an acceptance of the truth. France on the other, directly or indirectly, are mutually of greater importance to the parties concerned, on both sides of the Atlantic, than their commercial transactions with all the rest of the world. Nor is this all. Every day the increasing steam- ship intercourse between Europe and Amerioa is bringing these social and commercial relations be- tween the people of the Western powers of Earope and the people of this great republic more intimate- ly and cordially together. These familiar and re- ciprocal relations of peace and good will involve not only the tremendous traffic across the Atlan tic ocean in agricultural products and manufac- tures and the annual European emigratioas to our shores. They embrace also the yearly in- creasing reciprocities to Europe of American pleasure seeking travellers, and all those intimate, social, literary aud scientific associations and ex- changes, which, on all sides, we have at length learned to regard as among the greatest triumphs of civilization, and the highest blessings of peace. Theee things are well understood by the great producing masses of the English and French peo- ple, and hence the body of the people of Eagland | and of France are deadly hostile to any ill con- | sidered rupture with the government and people | of the United States. But,on the other hand, there fs a distinct political interest held by the landed aristocracy of England, and by the impe- | The world requires an increased supply of the products of the tropics. But how is this to be procured? The white man will not go there in large numbers to found prosperous communities based upon his own labor. Not only are the cli- mate influences destructive of his energies there, but deadly fevers await him. Besides, under the stimulus of tropical rains and a tropical sun, the power of the forest growth is developed with a ra- pidity and laxuriance that can be overcome only by the action of men in masses, combined with capital and directed by the highest human intelli- gence. These are conditions to which the white man will not willingly submit, for they are the conditions that constitute African slavery. Born in « climate favorable to the exercise of his phy. sical powers, he is crowned with an intellect capa- ble, as yet, of unlimited individaal developement, and he consequently seeks those regions that offer the best theatre for bis individual advancement. Yet civilization requires that the fertile soil= of the tropics must be cultivated; and if tne while man will not or cannot do it, others must. It was this necessity that fist gave rise to Afri- can slavery, which the humanitarians of Europe have so long been endeavoring to destroy. Hav- ing partially effected their object, they now find that ide attainment reacts upon themselves by de priving them of the “ articles of almost first ne- cessity to European life.” Therefore do they seck to re-establish it in a new form; and we find rial government of France, which clashes with tries, and which is jealous of the increasing influ- | in England would be the extermination of her the destruction of the empire. Thus it is that while onr commercial and so- cial relations with Eogland and France are saf- ficiently strong to command the peace, the jea- | lousies of that aristocratic class to which Lord Pelmerston belonge are always at work to dis | parage our government, and to distract and di- | vide our happy Union. The interests of the Freoch imperial dynasty stand in the same gene- ral relation towards ua, and this fact lies, per- | haps, at the basis of that “ happy accord” which | was inaugurated between St. James and St.Cloud | in the Russian war, and which contioncs in the Anglo-French alliance against China of the pre- sent day. With the increase of our population avd wealth, and with the expansion of our boan- daries and our foreign commerce, the manufac- turing end producing classes of England and France have discovered that their substantial in- | terceis are immediately identified. But the go- verning clasees of those countries look upon our | material prosperity and its political fruits with | apprehension, and hence all the movements of | the last fifty years to place us under the surveil- lance of a European balance of power, or to | weaken us at home and abroad by every availa- ble means of assault against our Southern insti- tution of slavery. | Upon this harrassing question of African lave- ry, bequeathed to us by Eogland, imperial France has been less culpable than the English Cabinet | and the English aristocracy. In fact, as France has been less concerned in the policy of arresting | our territorial and commercial growth, than in providing the means of employment for her com- bustible people, ehe has rather sought to encour- age our commercial favors than to undermine our political syetem. But England, struggling to maintain against us her ancient commercial supremacy on the seas, has taken hold of every diplomatic opportunity, and every pretext, to en- tangle and distract us upon this vexpd question upon this precise isue that our Cabinet pre- fers to maintain ite ground, rather than re-open the controversy till the meeting of Congress.

By destroying the claim which the slave has ia his declining years upon his master for sapport, it gives a stimulus to the selfish desire to get all out of the laborer that is possible daring his work and bad food upon his remaining years of life. Itis, in fact, giving a premium to the using up of negroca ] That we may not be accused of exaggeration in these statements, we will recite the principal features of the existing code of laws for the im- portation of free apprentices to labor in the Spa- nish colonies, They may be contracted for any | term of service that may suit the contracting parties; the contract working hours per day may be fifteen; ships importing them shall not bring over four persons to the ton; importers and pur- chasers may dispose of and transfer them by sale of their contracts; they cannot acquire any new rights while their contract stands; they can- not marry, nor leave the plantation or workshop, witbout consent of their patron or master; pa- trons may punish them by the use of stocks, ball and chain, and imprisonment for thirty days; a daily account shall be kept of the number of hours during which the apprentice has worked, so that the actual nunher of days he has labored in each month may be known, and at the expiration of the term of the contract it may le prolonged to cover the full mamber of working hours stipulated. What chance a negro apprentice has for free dom under such conditions as these, we leave others to determine. We famcy, however, that we see the King of Dahomey coming down to the coast of Guinea with a berd of free African ap- prentices; the contractors there, who have super- seded the old slave traders, inquiring minutely into the free agency of cach contracted laborer, and extending the written agreement; the commo- dious ships bringing them over “not more than four to the ton;” the humane patron working them fifteen hours a day; and the jolly faborer, after ten years of such service, prepared and ele- vated to become a freeman and a useful member of society.

Tex Srrext Comassiovensir.—If any citi- zens of New York had any doubt of the scheme which the Albany republicans are endeavoring to consummate in this city, Governor King’s ap- pointmnent of a Street Commissioner for tho city is calculated to disabase their minds and open their eyes. That neither the old nor the new nor any other law authorized Governor King to usurp the functions of the people of this city and their duly elected magistweates ia too clear for disqus- sion, The Governor might aa well pretend toat the law authorizes him to appoint the Mayor and Aldermen. When we complsined of the usurpation at- tempted by the Legisiature in appointing Police Commissioners tor this city, and stated that it was the beginning of the disfrancbitement of the city we were told that we were in érror; that no further evcfoachments upoa our manicipal rights would be attempted. Now, ‘the Governor as- sumes to appoint a Street Commissioner. Next he will eay the Jaw authorizes him to appoint a Comptroller; and last of all he will say that he is bourd (and will get a lawyer to certify the fact) to nominate the Mayor—just as Louis Napoleon sppoivte the Frevch Mayors and all the other officers of every commune in France. De not blame Governor King for this. He is but the tool of a party, doing their bidding, end carrying out their decrees. That party bas de termined to control the patrocage snd money of tbe city government for the purposes of the Pre- sidential struggle of 1860; and they will pursue their object, and carry their point at the expense of whatever is valuable in our freedom and mu- nicipal condition, unless tbe Court of Appeala in terposes to protect us and throw its cloak round our civil hbertics, Our New Presses. ‘We have now for come days bad our new ten cylinder presses at work, with the mort. com- pletely succcesfal results. We can print over twenty thousand sa hour; our edition. averaging eometbing in the neighborhood of 70,000. is printed every day in three hours anda half ia- cluding stoppages. This is a rate of speed which we believe to be unparalleled in the annals of printiog. The vast machines which perforia this work are some thirty-five feet in length. They are models of intricate and neatly adjusted ma- chinery. It requires a long and arduous etudy to torm even a rade conception of their mechanism and their operations; and it would be impossible in words to convey ati idea of either. Suffice it to say that the application of steam power to the huge masses of wheels, bars, beits, joints avd steel causes the large cylinder to revolve with such velocity that, during the time an edition is being printed, it travels en actual space of about fifty miles, Perhaps, however, the actual service it ren- ders in its allotted duty, is the greatest feat of the ten cylinder press. It prints,in a correct and acourate manner, twenty thousand copies of the Hxratp per hour, say three hundred and thirty-three per minute, nearly six copies per se- cond. Such a velocity would require for its measurement one of the scientific machines in- vented by ingenious philosophers to time light- ning flashes, Watches—even of the finest me- chanism—could not keep a record of such speed as this. ¥ To ourselves the new presses will be of no small service. We are now enabled to print an edition of one hundred thousavd copies in the same epace of time which it took us, formerly, to print fifty thousand. Our present edition of some seventy thousand—sometimes a few less, sometimes a few more—we throw off with ease in less than the time allotted. Our carriers and the mails can nowbe supplied in ample time without any extraordinary exertion on oar part. We ehall feel the consequences in our city circulation. Our complaint book has long warned us that many of our up-town subscribers, after exhausting every method they could think of to procure the Hrrarp at their residences at an early hour inthe morning, had at length given up the attempt, and subscribed to a paper which was only their second choice. We have, we fancy, been not a little instrumental in building up one of our juvenile cotemporaries in this way. The reaction will now begin; and journals whose | prosperity has been caused by our incapacity to supply the demands for Hera.vs in time, will now, we fear, discover that they rest on a pre- carious basis, This, however, is of no consequence. The main points to which we desire to draw attention at the present time are the admirable machinery which we are using, and which reflects no slight credit on the Messrs, Hoes and the country: and, secondly, our increased capacity for supplying subscribers with the New Youk Heratp, The former may well be considered a credit and an honor to American genius, and dese:ves as much public attention as any of the admirable feuits of oor inventive and mechanical ability; it is a his- torical stand-point as well in the history of mo- | chanics as of machinery, and above all, of news- papers. For the second we will only say that we propose to pursue the same course as we have followed heretofore, which, we think, is the only course that is worthy of @ paper in the leading position of the Henan, Believing that that course is better calculated to advance the trae interests of the country than any other, we con- gratulate the public on the prospect of a wider diffusion of the principles which are its guide. Tur Cursena Istanps Prorecroratre.—We have advices from a reliable seurce at Washing- ton that Peru is contemplating the patting of the great guano deposit at the Chincha Islands under the protection of England and France, This is but another evidence of the weakness and want of capacity for self-government in the Spanish American republic. They must seek external intervention and aid in the effort to es- tablish internal order. The spirit of intrigue and rebellion is too rife and too deeply seated among them to warrant any hope of self-sus- tained good government. This quality comes to them honestly, for it comes by inheritance from the mother country, where General O'Donnell, in his recent justification betore the Spanish Senate, stated that there was not one Senator then listening to him who had not at some time or other been an active conspirator against the ment, The faflure of Walker in his attempt to amal- gamate our private filibusteriem with the parti- sans of order in Nicaragua has caused those of | Peru to turn their attention to the filibustering proclivities of the French and English governments.

Ruatan, filibustered by “spontancous settlement,” as Lord Clarendon terms it, does not at all contribute to the con- tinuance of amicable relations with this country. A similar result may be anticipated in filibuster- ing the Chincha Islands. We will give them a word of advice Let them remember that our expansion is the expansion of material develope- ment and not of dynastic rule, and is, theretore, in perfect accord with the expansion of their commercial interests. These interests rule England policy, and if Louis Napoleon adopts a commercial policy for France he will found his throne upoa a strong basis, With these views, / rests and those of the whole world will be best subserved by euch a course, and the industriud and commercial classes of Eagiand and France will sustain them in it, THE LATEST NEWS. ans News Washington.

Wasntvorox, June 15, 1857. ‘The inclinations of the atministraon towards Eogland ad France are of the most friendly character ; but still, before there can be any comprehensive re-opening of ne- gotiations upon Central American Affuirs, the British gov: ernment must restore the absolute severcignty of the Bay Islands to Hondurar, and the entire jurisdiction over the Morquito comt and the Mosquito Indians to the State of Nicaragua. ‘When Lord Palmerston shall have mado these satisfac- tory concessions, Mr. Bucbanan will be prepared to troat with him and :e government of France for the restora- ton of order and the security of the isthmus transit to the commerce and pasrengers of all nations, upon a broad and tiberal basis.
