The Temperance Convention—Siruggle of the Delavanites and Greeleyites—Atemp, to Dehron: King Delavan—Piscom- Shure Ff the Conepiratérs— The Fight on the Revolutions. ‘The State Temperance Society got together for its semi- annual mecting this morning (m the Assembly chamber of the capitol, and asout fifty gentlemen were present, mostly old political cold water advocates, Notwithstanding the smallness of the number, warm times are anticipated for if I am rightly informed, there. is to bo a determined effort made by the Greeley clique to lead the soctety over once mgrin to the biack republicans, and the Belavan and Wilder clique being resolved to resist the attempt to the otmost extent of their ability. The great stumbling block in the way of this re-transfer of the now respectably small capital of temperance to the biack republican party has} been the President of the Soziety, E. C, Delavan, who, conservative in political sentiment ‘and honest in the cause of prohibition, has Armly resisted every such attempt, The politicians of the Greeley schoo! had, theretore, everything arranged in proper shape, (as they believed,) before the assembling of the Convention, to oust Mr. Delavan from the Presidency of ihe Society, and losta! the philosopher in his place. To this ond, the plotters against Mr. Delavan, within the ‘past six months have ‘made things right” with Professor MeOoy, once Mr. D).'* most ardent supperter, an’ have enlisted him in the plot. This was the easier accomplished ip accordance with well established rules, since Professor McCoy, long evgaget as editor of the Prehiiitionis and of the Sate Society at a very liberal salary, is under obligations to Mr. Delavan, and the old saying—“ If you desire to make your frieod az enemy, do hima favor? —bolds with temperance politic.ans as with ail ocher-clasnes of individuals In precuring the servicen of Prof. MoCoy, however, Mr Greeley purchased the elephant. The blundering eager. ness of the wily overturned all the well arraaged plan of action, and onthe main point occasioned the defeat of ihe anti-Delavan league. Immediately after the address of Mr. Delavan this mornlag. Mr. McCoy rose envi, in a well studied and artful speech, urged the propriety of col (nto a ballot at that Ume for a President of the Society in piace of Mr. 1) C, Delavan. He based his propotition, be said, = the fact that D, on several occasions had gone through she farce of a withdrawal, bat had always ft the last moment held on to bis office, and be read from some four or five addresses delivered on former occasions by the I’resident, in which he expressed hie desire to be released from the cares and respons bilities of the position. He thought it only right that these long cherlsbed and frequently relinquished wishes #bould at last be gratiled; and az a large namber of delegates had come purposely to vote for s President, he thought it would be wore catia factory to all parties to go into an election et thie time. Mr. McCoy accompanied bis remarks by something very like threat that any opposition would draw out from him tome awkward family disclosures, and concluded by — that the society proceed to ballot for a presiding cer. iver gray Know Nothimg whig, of Mr. Delavan, replied in a very bitter strain to ixcreet epeech of Mr. MoCoy, and we tbat young and basty gentiowan asevere handling. declared himset? disgusted at the spirit, and incensed at the untimely obtrusion of the remarks just made by the Secretary. With much adroitnese he pointed at the debt of £6,000 now Ta over the society, and at the readincs: of Mr. Delavan at all fumes to pot bis hand iw bis pocket ancl pay the bills. This clinched the matter and knocked Mi and bie backer, Gresley, out of the fight. Mr. Wiider’s substitute for Mr. "s motion, expresring jeasure at Mr. Delavan’s consent to retain the oilice of ident was adopted by a iarge majority, Mr. MeCoy and one other being the only delegates bold enough to ‘yous in the negative. ‘The triumpb of the Netavanites ju this matter murt not, however, be'taken as ceaciusive of their power in the Comvont.on, for at the afiernoon ressionjon the resolutions, the fight war renewed, and wp to the hour of adjourn. mest the Greeley men had a decided adentage.

The Business Committee, on the one side, have made a report, an submitted ® series of resolutions, pre- senting the Jelavan party's views, for which Greeley bas offered « wubstitute, patting the Kxcise law on the . and praising its magy virtuer, while jerultically claiming still to be in favor of prohibition. Several warm specches were made in the course of the debate on the resolntiens: but ne question was taken up (othe hour of adjournment this eveniny Mr. Rorace Greeley, in the course of the discussion, claimed pecuilar iaxdnigence for Gac apparent short-comings of New Yori ance advocates.

Weare ™ the w:asiol « revo, ution, not of a government, but of n community, not warlixe, but peacefal; it if not o change of dynasty, bus the location of trade which is the question wt lesue. Migration is the all absorbing thought; net from country to country, but from ward to ward, from street to etreet. Change, progression and improvement steep the age and the hour. ‘Me columns of no daily paper, however enterprieing, an keep pace with the marvelicus changes going on fround us, Whole streets of well built spacious stores are swept away by the hand of improvement to-day—to mor- ‘row edifices { stone or marble vise up ia thelr places, Four years since the northern boundary of the whole sale jobbing trade of our cy wae at or about Fulton street now that busy thoroughfare is on the soutivorn verge of tha stirring community. The warehouses of foreign commerce, the counting hoases of shipping merchants, banks, insa- rance companies, and most of the private banking houses, si)!l retain possesion of tee point below the Park. Broadway as high as Bleecker street, and ali the latieral streets as high as Canal, are now the scenes of demolition ‘and reconstruction, At this moment the majority inamount and numbere of the wholesale trade with intericr markels is doubtless above Barclay street. Nor are there facts alone remarkable. Improvements in the charecter and etyle of buildings devoted to purposes of trade amd commerce are such as to startle those who remember what were the usual) eppointments of such edi fices twenty years ago. In the day of the great expansion of 1836, w store 25 by SO was regarded asa marvel of ®pace cad convenience. Now scarcely a jobber of dry goods or hardware is satisfied with Icss than 50 by 200. Plain brick hag become almost obsolete; brown stone is of questiouable quality, and in reost of the new streets mar- bie of snowy whiteness is the prevalent material. Property in the principal streets steadily appreciates in | vaive. Blocks of ground for public purposes aro almost out of the question. Single and double jots adapted to mercantile objects, are datiy changing hands at almost fabulous prices; a lease taken to-day at a yearly rental so high as to deter a cautious man from the venture, sells to-morrow at a premium of from twemty to « hundred ‘thousand dollars. Why is this, and what is to be the end?—are questions constantly discussed by the prudent and the wary. The answer is very simple. So great is tho impulse given by years of peaceful trade with all the world, the acquisition of a territory which pours its streams of golden ore into our coffers, and the consequent vest accumulation of wealth in the community, that no limits can be set to the extont of the domestic and foreign trade of the city. The arca of its accommodations alone is {imited; igland bounda- ries enolose it, and every rood of ground becomes valuable in proportion to the increase of population and the pros- perity of trade. In former years, within the experience of the genera. tion not yet passed away, ® jobbing mercbant whose yearly sales reached the amount of half a million was re- garded among his fellow merchants as one entitied to the piace of honor. Now the number whose transactions exceed that amount ten times told may be counted by scorce. And-this vast trafic has to be accomplished on a spot of ground enclosed between two rivers, in a space averaging a mile in width. It is notat all strange that property thus situated should constantly appreciate in value, nor that in the course of a few yoars # vast sur- plus of business should find ite way in the direction of the hitherto unimproved portien of the island. This resuit is as inevitable as the daration of time. Whatever portion of our active enterprise and growing capital may be spared to buitd up sister communities on either side of es, the great result of a vast community to cover the island of ‘New York can neither be stayed nor defeated. But these facts are remarkable in another point of vier All the credit of there civic triumphs belongs to vidual citizeas—the enterprise of the people, and not of the government, netther city, State or national, has produced the results, While this revolution in the prosperous in- dustry of tho commanity has been going on, no edifice, save those connected with the cause of education, bas been erected in our midst for purposes of government which is not utterly discrediable to the public taste, The city government retains the original structure known as the City Hall, erected half a century!ago, and which centains accommodations for about one-half of ihe city functionaries, It has nota courtroom whieh is not either in regard to scientific construction or architectural design, wnworthy of the community in which it is placed. A commission bas recently been created to suppty the deficiency in public offices by the erection of « new City Hall. The plot of ground appropriated for the new edifice unfertunately does pot contain s7ace enough, according to the estimates pubiisked two years since, for the accommo- ation of the most essential departments of the public ser- vice of the city. We wait patiently for the rosuit of the action of this commission before we further discuss this subject, #0 far as it relates to the city. But the greater dedc.cncy exists in regard to the provi tion made vy the genera! government for the proper and convenientaccommodation of its officials, as well as for those baviag business transactions with the courts and public offices, The revenues of the national government are mainly do- rived from the commerce of the portof New York; yet with the excoption of an Hi contrived and insufficent Gre- cian temple, erected for a Custom House, in which both space and light bave been sacrified ton couple of rows of granite columns, it has never produced within the bourd- aries of the city an edifice in which to hold its courts, or to receive and distribute the vast correspondence which necessarily conires in a metropoittan city. ‘The Post Office accommodations now furnished by the ancient structure known as the South Patch Church which was used as x riding scbool by the British army daring the Revolution, are not meroly insufficient for the conve nient transaction of the public business, bul are offensive and discreditable to a degree that alls imperativoly for remedy. No good reason existe why this establishment should remain cramped up in a narrow atreot, far below the centre of business, and very far distant from the vast wonajority of citizens equally interested with foreign mer- ebants and bankers in obtaining speedy access to their correspondence, The Post Office is peculiarly the tpstita tien of the people, and its location, above all other conside- rations, should be central and easy of access. This remark will apply also to the courts of the United Stetor, the Judges’ Chambers, the District Auorney aod Marshal's offices, and all the other officials connected with the public business of the courts. These should all be centeal in position and easily reached by convenient ave. rues Hitherto no considera‘ion ba been given, apparently, to thie subject. ‘The United States Courts have been held for somo time past ina building erected without any rogard to ventilny tion or convenience, and the Judges of the highest cour in the country are placed om the same footing in point of accomme dation and appliances with the Judges of our city Marine Court, Chambers of the District and Cireuit Judges are Jorated ip a dilapidated building at the distance of an eighth of « mile from the court room. The effices of Dis- trict Attoraey, Marshal, clerks, six of seven Commis- Sioners who sit as judges, are scattered about the city wherever ® vacant room can be hired or possession ob tained by sutierance, This is not creditable to the government of a country which canno! dispose of ite accruing revenue, It is not just to a city which collects two-thirds of the public in- come, and whieo holds the custody of a surplus counting by tens of millions of dollars, Having thus brought this subject to the pabdiic attention, itanay be aekod where we would place the pocessery offices of the general government. We have no hesita tion in deciding on a location above the Mark, on Broadway, or se near that leading thoroughfare an the requisite accommodations can be found. We are convinced that the interests of the government, the proper accommodaion of its functionaries, as well ax the comvomience of the public, would be promoted by Placing all these offices aud courte ander one roof, pro. vided adequate apace car ve found for an oditloe of suf. ficient dimensions.

Loxpox, June 2, 1867 Arrival of the Susquehanna in the Thanes—Desxer pron of the Ship—Her armament, her Officers and Orno—Re- ceplion by the Niagara—The Niagara to go to Birken- head after ali—It is found that she can take the Cable ot Board—The Agam-nnen Recalled and Ordered (0 @reen- wich, din, Ben, des At the date of my last letter we bad fost received intel- ligence of the arrival of the Sugquehanna off Cowes, and soon after, as I stated in my last letter, her First Lieutenant, Mr. Isaac N. Brown, paid bis respecte to Captain Hudsen on board the Niagara, It was known through private letters tbat she had left Spezaia on the 18ua of May, and she was therefore looked for several daye previous to her arrival. On her way, however, she stop- ped five days at Lisbon, from which she made the passage to Cowes in four more. While lying in this part of the British Channel she was passed by the Osborne, the British Admiralty yacht, on board of which was tho Grand Duke Constastine of Russia, who was on & brief private visit to the Queen, and the details of whose reception are given at length in the Fagiian papers. There was a considerable consumption of quppowder on the occasion, but not quite such ‘am expenditure of the article as took place during the ele- ven long and weary months that the allies iay before Se- bastopol. Buta comparatively brief period has elapsed since the celebrated siege of that sity, and now we see the: two royal families who at thet timo were at deadty feud with each other, meeting on terma of apparently tbe mest friendly social intercourse. It appears that the Grand Duke was somewhat jocular on the occasion of his intro- duction to Mr, Bower, who at the time of tho siege was sailing master on beard the Agamemnon, one of the ves- sels of the immense fiect with which the Eng!ieb assailed the great Rursian naval depot of the Black Sea. !t \# said that he asked Mr. Bower if he did not find himeeif in » “very hot berth,’’ but the future historian isieft ia com- plete ignorance of Mr. B.'s answer, for the joormaiiet, while he bas recorded the pleasantry of the Grand Duke, as sald nothing about the reply of the sailing master. There was, as has been already stated, a considera- bio consumption of gunpowder at the reception of the distinguished visiter, and tt may not be unworthy of potjve that the Susquehanna was the first to salute him. Her yards were manned, and twenty.one guns fired, a compliment which, it is raid, tho Grand Duke expressed his high appreciation of as tendered by « nauon with which Russia had always been on the most ly terms. Tho Susquebanns arrived in (he Thames about 7 o'clock on Sunday morning, the Jlst ult., and a few hours after was veep from our deck, As she neared our ship our signals were run up, and after she had passed and an- chored within a few hundred yards of us, ope of our off- cers was font on of her. Captatm Hudson rubee- quently visited Captain Sands, ber : ng to the rules of our naval service, which require ~e japior captain to pay this mark of ‘respect to the senior on all such occasions. This was the only demonstration which was made—there was no cheering, nor apy of those manifestations of feeling which were dia- played on both sides the Sunday before, when the Aga- mempon oat ——. way up the river. Lb th a when our ships are parting company Zee cn ane, ‘But if our men were not permitied to indulge in thoro friendly demonstrations, the graufication which they felt at seeing another of our pational versela in a foreign port, with the tixg of the republic ying from her , Waa none the less sincere and it. This ia the irst time that two American war vessels have been seen in the Thames, and it is peculiarly gratifying to be abie to state that they are the largest vossols of their class ia the world, the > ‘a being the t propeller and the Suequebanna the largest side wheel steamer. The officern of both vessels baye already made or renewed enets otber’s acquaintance, for some were formerly 0l@ compa- nions ip the service, apd their mecting, as may be wop- posed, was of the most pleasant character. The Susy it will be remembered, was ordered down to San Juan del Norte in May, 1866, du- ring the difficulty whieh we had with the Noglish there in the affair of the British verse! of-war, the Lurydica, On her 4 to that port from Philadelphia, which #be jeft ou ‘the 17th of May, having been put in commission oo the bus of the same month, she fell in with the United States fri gate Notomas, commanded by Commodore Panidiag. The Commodore tranaferred bis ‘lag to the Surquehanna, leav- ing the Potomac at Key Wert, and proceeded to Sao Juan, \¢ Subsequent Operations st which place have bere fully recorded in the Colamus of the Hexatm. Arriving agen at Key West they stayed there «few days, when (be ehip was ordered to the Mediterranean, where remained ap to the date of the official order from our government di- recting ber to join the Niagara at |ondon. While on this = abe visited Gibraltar, » Paestum, Naples, Toulon and Genoa, was layi & considera”ie part of winter. Captain Sands received the official order while at Spezza, which be lef, as has been stated, on the 168th of inet May stopping on his way at Lisbon five days. He experienced very heavy weather in the Hay of Biscay, bat the wind being favorable he wax epabled to keop on bis passage, uncer close reefed maintoprai) and ‘toute reeled Foresnil rnp toe twelve knots an hour, The average apecd of the Surquehanna does not, however, exceet ln, and under the most favorable circumstances, it \s thought, would not paea thirteen, under both #teum nud wail. With ‘a fair wind the Niagara would run away from her, and under steam alone would beat her about two miles im every hour. Although the Sueqnehanpa is one of tho | finest side wheei steamers, and tho in the world, she is no: more than bail the size of he Niagara, and looks almost diminutive in comparison with her. She ws constructed somewhat on the old model, with a few of the modern improvements, and is similar to the Powbatan and the San Jacinto, Her length is 240 feet, breadth 45 feet, depth of bold 27 feet, and capacity ‘With thirty days cont, or 1,000 tons, and «ix visions on board, her draught of water is now about seven years since she was iaupebed some time in 1850.
