Advertisers of all kinds will please to note those facts, Gad act accordingly. Our new ma- 7s Whe News. We devote a large portion of our space to-day to the details of the difficulties pending in the city, ‘They comprise accounts of the arrest of Mayor ‘Wood, Deputy Street Commissioner Turner and Poiice Captain Bennet; the argument before Judge Russell upon an application for a writ of habeas corpus in the case of the Mayor; the proceedings before the Recorder with reference to the various ar- rests; the operations of the Metropolitan police force; together with important particulars of the occur. i resees of the dey generally. From dawn till dazk yesterday the Park and the places of resort | im ita vicinity were thronred with excited men, dis- cussing the state of afin! No outbreak, however, disturbed the peace of the city, all parties having made ample preparation to repress any tarbulent | cemonstration. Squads of Municipal policemen | were stationed about the Park, the Mctropolitan | Police Board swore in some five hundred citizens | as special officers, and about four hundred sol- | diers were kept ander arms at their armorics. Not- witbatasCing these arrangements, the Metropolitan Commirsioners telegraphed to Boston for the imme- | diate retorn of Governor King and the National | Guard, who were attending the celebration of the | bate of Bucker Gill. The Governor left Boston in | the afternoon, and donbtless arrived in New York H last night, The Guard, however, remained in Bos- | toa, Gen. Sandford having countermanded the order | of the Governor for their retarn. The men wounded io Tueslay's tight were yesterday quite comfortable, with the exception of two or three, whose lives are still considered as in danger, owing to the injuries received in the combat. Meantime, Mr. Devlin, the appointee of the Mayor and Aldermen, retains pos- session of the Street Commissioner's office. ! ‘The arguments of connsel upon the legality of the Metropelitan Police act commenced before the Court | of Appesis at Albany yesterds, A full report is | given in our columns this morning.

He gives a short account of his operations on the river, anda jong one of the dificulties caused by the interference of the Eng!ish officers in the har- ber of San Juan del Norte. According to Colonel Lockridge’s account he bad immonse difficulties to enco 7, aad could not overcome them. The re- port is too iong for ish inthe very crowd- ed state of carcalcunns rich, all the points which be derelopes ha been covered by the full advices we hare published from the scene of action while the events were passing. Our correspondents at St. Poul, Minnesota, writ ng ca the sth instant, give some very interesting information with respect to the condition and pros- pects of affairs in that Territory. Colonel Noble, of the Pacific Wagon Road Expedition, had left for Fort Bitgicy, where he would be joined by Governor Medary, end thence march with an armed force to the Big Sionx ri the country of the hostile tribe of Ineapsdootah Indians, who lately commit ted euch barbarous outrages, The new Superin- tendent of Indians ATair ad not yet arrived, and tbe agents could not therefore pay the clamorous crowd in their different districts. The troops from Fort Snelling ordered to Utah were toleave on the afternoon of the Sth instant. 'mprovernents were being poshed forward with great vigor in St Paul, and the prospects for industrious farmers and mc chanics were good all over the Territory.

Walker’s letter to President Buchanan, narrating the events of his career in Nicaragua. Congress !n 1854 directed that a sword should be presented to Gen. Wool, as a token of the nation’s sppreciation of his services in the war with Mexico, and especially for his conduct on the bloody field of Buena Vista. The presentation has been delayed until recently, through the instrumentality of the late Secretary ot War, Jeff. Davis. A letter from our correspondent at Troy, published elsewhere, de. scribes the weapon, and gives the correspondeace that bas passed relative to the matter. ‘The racing over the Fashion Course was yesterday brought to a satisfactory and successful termina- tion, The affair has been well managed throughout ta details, and racing at the North msy now be con- sidered re-established on a permanent basis.

The brotherhood of the Prttesthnt Episcopal church of the diocess of New York, held their regu- lar annual meeting at Brooklyn yesterday. The attendance was not large. Rev. Mr. Johnson, of New York, was chosen chairman, and Mr. Hatha- way, of Brooklyn, secretary. The reports presented represented the funds of the society to be in a flourishing condition. The object of the organiza- tion ismutual relief in time of sickneas. A special meeting of the New York Yacht Club was held on Tuesday last, when resolutions elo- quently and appropriately expressing the grief of the members of the club at the death of its former Commodore, John C. Stevens, Eaq., were unani- mously adopted. It was also resolved that the flags of the yacht squadron be hoisted at half-mast for the space of thirty days. Coroner Connery held an inquest yesterday at the Fourteenth ward police station upon the body of | Wm. Williams, the drug clerk who was found dead in a store where he was employed, on the corner of Spring and Mott streets, early on Tuesday morning. The evidence showed clearly that it wasa case of suicide by taking poison, and that the suspicion which at first rested upon the wife of deceased of having murdered him was groundless. Considera- ble evidence was elicited, but it only corroborated the story as published in yesterday's edition. The jury after brief deliberation, rendered a verdict of “Death by suicide.” The inquisition upon the body of the negro Francis Salters, who was shot by some rowdies in ‘Thomas street on the night of the 29th ult, and sub- sequently died at the New York Hospital, was re- sumed yesterday. The evidence taken was simply corroborative of that adduced on the day previous. But little light has been thrown upon the case yet, although it ia hoped that some ciue will be had to the perpetrators of the outrage ere the inves tigation ia closed. Last nicht was the time for ‘he second regular mecting of the Board of Edu «tion for this month; bat a quorum not being presen the President, after waiting twenty minutes, adjourned the Board. Arthur Owen, a child six years old, died at the residence of his parents yesterda: 20 Monroe street, from the effects of a quantity of gin, given to deceased while he was lying sick in bed. The cotion market yesterday continued firm, but as doalers were waitlag the receipt of private letters due by the Europa sales were confine! to about 500 a 600 bales. Flour was quite heary and prices closed at a decline of from Ise. to 250. per Db!., while sales were to « mode- rate extent. Sales of wheat were light, being chiefly con- fined to prime Milwankie clob at $1 59a $155. Corn was lower, and sales of Southern yellow :ade at Mie. and small lots of Western mixed was reported as low as Pork was irrre gular, with sales of mess at $23 40 a $23 Sogars were quict and unchanged. There was not enough dolog to establish prices. Cotee was quiet, but drm. Freight ergagements were light and rates irregular for uitain, while shippers were disposed to await the receipt of letters before doing much. “ Order reigns in Warsaw;” but, as with the | een after a raging storm, we have still the heay- ing and dashing of the broken waves, Our city contemporaries (sym i with } the despotic usurpations against our munict- | pal liberties by the Seward olig: have worried themselves ferocity or Wood, in connection with the strange proceedings in and about th City Hall since Tucsday morning. TheChevalier Webb arcs up in sach terrible denuncialifons as these: “The bad, cunning and impndent man who is trying to place himself in this position knows this, and be knows, also, that the people archy Albany) whom he would insult and rob will see it. He, therefor ks to put himself before them in the attitude of one defending their rights He ad- Gresser them in this capacity—he, the culprit, who should now be inacell which he might leave for the gallows” wn person for his own selfish ends, has th matchless effrontery, the stupendous impudence, to issue a proclamation.” dc. From these choice compliments it will be seen that for one, at least, the Chevalier Webb would consent to the imme- diate hanging of Mayor, Wood, without the benefit of clergy. Philosopher Grecley appears to have wrought himself up to the same combustible degree of wrath and vengeance; for he, too, opens upon the Mayor in the most ferocious style. Hear our philosopher:— Shall the process of the courts be respected?—or Is Mr. Fernando Wood to set him- self up as superior to the judiciary as well as the Legislature? Is this desperate political gambler, bent on eecuring his re-election to the Mayoralty, to be held responsible for his acts?” “Have the people any power, or can Mr. Wood epit upon their representatives, and break the heads of their agents with impunity?” Ac. The lesser light of Sewardiem, facetiously styled by Maeter Greeley ae “the Little Villain,” joins in the echo, and says, “if New York could be further disgraced by having euch a man in the office of its chief magirtrate a+ Fernando Wood, the disgrace was inflicted yesterday.’ “While part of our citizens ‘were assembling to give an ovation to an unsuc cesefal fliluster, the Mayor of the city was forct- bly revisting the serviee of a civil process.” ‘The we are told that his proclamation yesterday in ite monstrous impudence, everything before proceeded from him” and that “his calling upon the citizens to remain calm in the midet of a civil rebellion, of which he is himeelf at the head, is the very sublime of as furance.”’ These twief extracts from our organs of the Albany oligercby aro eufficient to show that at least are worked up to the fighting point; ‘th some nine regiments of the State mt- y are prepared to pitch ir cde Woed and “his regiment « eroy.

Withelmine concerning the battle of Blenheim, | tends the great law of the present age, which is the inquiring reader will naturally eay:— Now, toll us all about the war, ‘And what they killed each other for. And ia reply, it may be said that all these late dis‘nrbences are the results of the unconstita- tiona' Geepotic and insolent interferences of the Seward oligarchy at Albany in our muni- cipal affairs, The immediate provocation to these border ruffian ecenes of Tuesday must not, however, be confounded with the controversy upon the Metropolitan Police bill, That bill is now before the Court of Appeals, and we are content to abide by the decision of those Judges upon the full question of its constitutionslity. It was the insolent attempt ot Governor Kiag to fill the vacant corpora- tion office of Street Commirasioner that preduced all those distarbances and eymptoms of a bloody civil strife of Tuesday. Mr. King’s man, Mr. Conover, applied on Saturday for the office keys, books, papers, &c., of the Street Commissioner, but the Governor’s authority to make the eppointment being about as legitimate as that of General Walker, the local officers in charge of the enid office very properly seot Mr Conover away witha flea in his ear. On Mon- day, however, he renewed, his attempt to occupy the said office, and was ejected with something less of ceremony than in the first instance. Tnea followed Mr. Conover’s appeal to the Recorder | and the Superior Court, and his warrant for the arrest of the Mayor. Tho attempt to serve this warrant brough} sbout the collision between the Metropolitan and the Municipal police, in which the former were signally defeated. Then the Seventh regiment of State militia were brought upon the ground, and the warrant for the arrest of the Meyor, with a criminal process or two from the Recorder, charging the Mayor with “in- citing a riot,” and with “resisting a civil pro- cess,” &e., &e., was served upon him. But after all the warlike demonstrations and civil and criminal processes of the Governor and his supporters, the substantial victory of the con- test for the office of Street Commissioner has been achieved by the Mayor and the Board of Alder- men. Mr. Devlin has beer appointed and con- firmed, and is in the occupation of his office. Against this occupant and the Mayor, Mr. Cono- ver, the Governor and the Recorder may get up ag many civil and criminal writs as they please; for we dare say that as far as the legal re- moval of Mr. Devlin from his office may be thus attempted, all the writs and processes that Mr. Conover and his backers can invent will amount to nothing. We also venture the opinion that any attempt of apy character to eject Mr. Devlin from, and to place Mr. Conover in his office, even if it should be successful for the moment, will re- act to the inglorious defeat of the Albany con- spirators and their instruments in the final settle- ment of the case. We believe that, under our new State constitu- tion, the city of New York retains certain muni- cipal righte and powers of supreme local juris- diction, inherited fromthe government of Eng- land; that these rights and privileges have not since been abridged, but have been enlarged: and that neither State Governors nor State Legis- latures can take them away. Our Seward cotemporaries, to the fullest extent, may vent their billingsgate abuse upon Fer- nando Wood; but vulgar epithets and scurrili- ty do not come up to the necessities of the case. ‘The contest is not between the individual, Fer- nando Wood, and the Governor of the State, nor between the Mayor of New York and the State Legislature—it is between the people of this city and the Seward oligarchy at Albany; be- tween New York municipal rights and Albany legislative usurpations and aggressions, This man or that man is nothing in this contest, ex- cept as the representative of the great principles at stake; and we are sorry that our Seward or- gans will not look into the question by this light. We are very sorry that with all their experience and coarse personalities prove nothing but the weakness of « bad cause. AND THE Sate or Mexico, dences accumulate on many sides that Santa Anoa has made some arrangements with | the Spanish government in order to secure his | retarn to power in Mexico. re ve advices from Washington that letters effect have been received there from, Havana, a = recent extraordinary manifestos ished a few days since, con‘ain fons to the same purport. Such sin perfeet keeping with the past Santa Ac and indecd he seems to jar knack of cheating cabinets as ‘ The consent of our own return to Mexico, and our sTA Anya, Srary giving hima free pass through the block fleet off Vera Cruz, is a curious exemptification | of this fact. But, though he hae bargained and | traded with all, he hus cheated and betrayed all. | His whol er exhibits one undeviating pur- pose—sel’-aggrandisement through deceptioa, and the sacrifice of friends as well as foes. From bis early training in the Spanish army ogainst the independence of his couatry, throngh with Itarbide to overthrow the Spanish power in Mexico, his plot against Iturbide, and then the numerous revolutions he has caused In that republic, the eame tale is con- tinually repeated. For thirty-five years has he been an active disorganizer and public robber in Mexico. Beginning as a beggar, and now rolling in hoarded wealth, he comes forward and talks of his immense sacrifices for his country and his love for the people. But finding his country ruined by the system of revolution which he ini- tiated there, and of which he has been the moet active promoter, he now proposes to sell one-half of her territory in order to raise means to rule the other halt. But to whom is he going to sell? We do not wish to buy Mexico for the mere purpose of get- ting land for ourselves, or of giving fands to those who wish to despoil her. We can only buy | territery from Mexico when the requirements of our internal communication call for the right of eafe and free transit. We do not wish to buy the right to govern her, for that would be « labor which we have no wish to undertake, even # paid for it. We have no wish to bay the right to es tablish the principles of self-government in Mexico or any part of it, for that they should establish themeclves at their own cost. The idea that we wish to purchase any portion of Mexican territory from selfish motives, or adesire of aggrandizemont, as ie generally supposed in Mexico and elsewhere, is simply ab- turd. We have nothing to aggrandize, The federal form of our government is nothing but the representation of the several sovercign and independent States of the Union, and has none of those dynastic aspirations that constitute the life of the gov monte of Karope. What does Maine care for California, Minnesota for Texas, or the whole Union for more territory, execpt as it ex- they have not yet diecovered that dirty abuse | | perty are amended. industrial developement and the increase of com- merce?

Such a chimera is just the bauble to tickle the Spanish fancy. ‘Besides, Spain ceems willing to promise funds and war to any dirorganiser in Mexico that will promise to return it to the crown of Spain. With euch a dream Santa Anna is very likely to amuse the Spanish fancy, in order to get back into power. Bat be will cheat them even if be gains his end; and rhould the Spanish Cabinet embrace his offer, it may iead to the final extinguishment of the Spanish power in America. The Municipal Case in the Court of Appeals. We begin this morning to publish the argu- ment in the municipal caee which is now being taied by the Court of Appeals at Albany. We shall of couree continue to do so till the case is completed, and the point at issue finally settled. We are rather surprised by a rumor which reaches us to the effect that the Coart of Appeals designs to confine its attention to the single point of the constitutionality of the Metropolitan Police law; that is to say, to the point whether, under avy circumstances, the State Legislature has, under the constitution, the right of appoint ing a police force for this and other coupties, We say we are surprised at this, because, though ® judgment deciding that the Legislature is not constitutionally authorized to appoint a police for one or more counties would of course pat an end to the litigation at the outsct, a jadgment in the opposite sense—decidiog that the Legialatare has the right of appointing such a potice forcee— would by no means settle, or even touch the main question at iesue. For instance, should the Court of Appeals decide that the Legislature may eppoint such a police, and rest there in their decision, the conflict between the city and State authorities would be no nearer a settlement than it now is, Mayor Wood would not be justified in inter- preting the decision of the Court as au- thorizing the substitution of the Metropolitan for the Muvicipal police; or in surrendering the city property to the Metropolitan Police Com- missioners. Nor would the Comptroller be jus- tified in paying any city money to such Metro- politan policemen. In fact, things would be left in precisely the condition in which they now are, and the benefit of the appeal to the judicial au- thority would be lost. To settle the question in dispute the Court of Appeals must decide not whether or no the Le- gislature can create a State police, but whether or no the Legislature can supersede our muni- cipal officers, confiscate our city property, abolish our manicipal offices, and dispose of our city money without our consent, These are the only points at issue, and if the Court of Appeals avoids them or devotes its attention to anything else than them, oar time will have been lost, the ap- peal will have been in vain, and the confusion, disorder, riot and anarchy of the past few weeks will be continued indefinitely. We have no desire to intrude upon the domain of the able counsel who are entrusted with the defence of our municipal rights in the Court of Appeals. They will, we doubt not, present every point in its strongest and clearest light. At the same time, we cannot refrain from recurring to the considerations which impart to this case an importance almost unequalled. It belongs perhaps rather to the press than to the bar to urge upon the sober reflection of the Judges the facts in the history of Europe which illustrate the contest between municipal and State authority there. We woald entreat them to read at least that brief chapter in De Tocqueville's “Old Regime and Revolution” which describes the insidious process by which Louis the Eleventh destroyed the municipal li- bertles of France. How he assailed the cities with his usual craft and subtlety; how he was sa- tisfied with appointing a commissioner here, a provost there, a syndic elsewhere; how, this point gained, he never ceased to widen the circle of his encroachments, and his succcesors carried out his | policy so faithfully that a time came when there were no free cities lett in France; how this lack of municipal life and local cnergy has been for the last sixty odd years the great bane and stum- bling block and ruin and despair of France. All theee things De Tocqueville tells ina very few convincing pages; and, if our memory serves us, it isactually the city of New York which he quotes as an instance of the opposite policy— namely, the free developement of municipal gov- ernment and civic liberty! For the rest, we cannot but thiak the Court of Appeals will find great difficulty in overstepping the purely legal obstacles which intervene between the ratification of the law and common sense. For instance, should the Court feel disposed to decide that the Legislature has the right to supersede our policemen by the Albany men, it will devolve upon them to explain satisfactorily the singular confirmation of the Montgomerie and Dongan | charter contained in the city charter of 1857; for that old charter distinctly grants to the city the right of appointing a police, of its own, which grant has never yet been repealed. And, finally, should the Court decide to confirm the law, that decision must be merely nominal and inoperative unlees those sections of the new law which refer to the Board of Supervisors and the police pro- they have fixed that number at flve, and no more. By the other, the new Commiesioners were for- bidden to remove the police property from where it is, and at the same time forbidden to use it anywhere except in Kings county, where it is not—a pretty tough difficulty. It will require more ingenuity to frame a judg- ment ratifying the constitutionality of the Metro- politan D’olice law than would conduct the affairs of the world for half a century. Kaxeas—A Distinet [seve Mave Ur. It will be seen from our advices hy telegraph that the free State party of Kansas have called together their Logislature and a State Convention, and that in both bodies they adhere to their platform oMhe Topeka free State constitution, and will have | nothing lesa, This is significant of an intcresting contest in the next Congress. The local authori- ties recognized by the federal administration have provided for an election this month and a State Convention in September (we believe), which will doubtless form a new State conetitu- tion, When this is presented to Congress the re- monstrances of the free State party and the Topeka charter will also be prosented, and the fiaal result will probably be the compromise projected by Gov. Walker of the present admission of Kansas asa free State, with a new slave State on the eouth side of it, At all evente, these late proceedings of the free State party in Kansas furnish « broad margin for a tremendous sectional and party agi- tation at Wasbington next winter, and perhaps for several winters and summers to come, Stir- ring times are coming. and no mistake, By the one, the Sapervisors | wore dirccted to fix the number of policemen; | Yeurow Fever—tThe absurd story got up by our cotemporary of the Governor King school in reference to the prevalence of yellow fever has recoiled upon its author, and burt nobody but the newspaper which uttered it, At the eame time, as there are sporadic cases of yellow fever every year in our Marine Hospital, people should be careful how they speak of the subject and what etories they repeat. It would be well also for the Health Officer to have all veegels from yellow fever ports boarded down below, where they were boarded last year; and to take mea- sures to prevent the acounulatian on the beach of Staten Island of the bedding thrown over- board from fever ships.
