We have, however, to record a circomstance which tells strougiy aguinst the machinations of the Metropolitan Police Commis- sioners. At sunset last evening the eutire Municipal Pohkce force was polled. Every man of the force was called upon to declare for or against the City Commissioners. The result was reported by tele- graph to the office of Chief Matsell The telegra- phic apparatas of the Fifteenth ward station being out of order, no return was received from that dis- trict. In the Fourth ward there are four deserters, viz.:—Murpby, Dunning, Valgor and Orme. The | remaining twenty wards unanimously voted to stand “by the Manicipsl Commissioners. It is stated that James T. Brady, Esq,, gave his written opinion to Mr. Turner, Deputy Street Com missioner, a few days since, to the effect that he (Mr. Turner) would be legally justified in keeping posses- | sion of the office until a Street Commissioner was sppoisted by the Mayor,and confirmed by the Board of Aldermen. Mr. Thomas N. Carr, of this city, formerly United | States Consul at Tangier, has written a very inte- | resting paper on the commerce of Africa, which we pubiish in another column. The recent treaty between Mngland and Morocco attracted the atten- tion of Mr. Carr, and hence his letter. It is a docu- ment that every merchant and statesman should | read. The third ression of the fifth Provincial Parlia- meat of Canada, which bas jast terminated, bas been distinguished for its attention to business. Many private acts and a considerable number of | poblic ones have been passed. Among the public ones are the International Bridge, connecting Cana- | da with the United States at Buffalo, and the aot for | keeping the publicaccounts after the first of Janu: | ary uext in dollars and cents. There were only three bank charters granted, viz: the International Bank of Canada sthe Ontario Bank, and the [Bank of Brantford. The two first named are now taking fteps to organize. The Parliament have wisely taken the precaution t> have their bills well secured. ‘The act to increase the rate of interest to seven per ceat and do away with the penalties of usury was defeated ‘nthe lower house. The act to allow fo- reign stockholders in mining, manufacturing oad mechanical companies to become trustees was passed. The former ill-feeling towards Americans has passed away and the Reciprocity act is fast mak- ing the two peoples one nation. Interesting letters from our correspondeuts at 1 ondon, Paris, Berlin and St. Petersburg, giving @ rreumeé of the current news and the political and faahioratle gossip at those important capitals, ara | pablished in today’s paper. One of our \onéon | correspondents gives a graphic account of the steamships of war, bota British and American, that compose the submarine telegraph fleet. A detailed statement of the hauling down of the American fiag at Singapore—a circumstance which caused Commodore Armstrong to despach one of his ships from The steamer Lady Figin artived at Chicago on the 16th instant from Superior, which port she left ou 1th. This is her second trip to the copper regions the present season. She met with much impedumeut from ice. At Grand Island the ice extenoed from shore to shore, but after a delay of two dass she managed to force her way through the pack. Marq>cette was still closed, and there was a field | of ice of twenty to thirty feet thick on Lake Superior, large cnough to cover Lake Erie. Any one desirwus of experiencing the rigors of the Arctic regions can do #0 with little trouble if they take an early start tothe Northwest by way of Lake Superior. The captain of the Lady Elgin reports matters in Supe- rior as execedingly lively. Improvements were going forward as rapidly as men and materials could | be procured. Real estate chauged hands freely, and prices increased with every transter. The anaosncement that the Secretary of the Navy has concluded to have one of the steam sloop:of- war ordered by Congress constructed by contract has aroused our shipbuilders, and already, we are informed, severa! of them have proceeded to Wash- | ington to look after the matter. In this connection, therefore, we refer our readers ® an article on the fist page of today’s paper, which gives some inte- resting information respecting the models for the wew steam revenne cutter that were recently exhibit- ed to the Navy Department. ‘The June term of the Court of Sessions closed yea. terday. A number of culprits were sentenced, and in eevern! cases judgment was suspended by the Re- corder. City Judge Russell sentenced Hiram Le Barnes, who pleaded guilty to an attempt at arson in the fourth degree, to six months confinement in | the city prison. The previous good character of the | prisoner induced the Judge to impose a mild sen dence. The City Inspector reports ‘34 deaths during the past week—a decrease of 1! as compared with the mortality of the week previous. The following statement exhibits the number of deaths daring the past two weeks among adults and children, distin guishing the sexes:— Men Women. ‘Week ending Jone ‘Wook onding June 20 Crete Tai Week ending Sun D.

The drift of travel and apecie to Europe just now exceeds that of any previous season. The steam ships 4tlantic, Vanderbilt and Glasgow left this port at noon yeaterday, respectively for !iverpool, Havre and Glasgow. They carried out an aggre- gate of five hundred and twenty-one passengers. The Atlantic and Vanderbilt took out $1,898,575 in specie—a greater sum than the total shipment during the month of June, 1856. The steamerStar of the West aiso sailed yesterday for Aspinwall- She carried out the semi-moathly mails for the Pa- enfic and 470 passengers. ‘The cotton market yesterday continued quite frm, and clored with a hardening tendency in prices.

Our Seward cotemporaries of this city and Al- bany are very much chagrined at the reports of Gov. King’s disapproval of the late violent extra- judicial proceedings of his official partizans here against Mayor Wood and our municipal authori- ties. The Cucvalier Webb, indeed, bristles tp to | the Governor with something of indignation, and threatens and storms with the air of an offended danéy. The Chevalier Webb says that “the Mayor, through his principal organ, (the Herat) has made proclamation that Gov. King does not ap- prove” these late proceedings, civil and criminal, directed against Mayor Wood. In turning the | matter over in bis mind, however,Chevalier Webb | consoles himeeif with the conclusion, from “the general character of Mayor Wood for veracity,” Ac., that there is not “one particle of truth in what the Hrrary has put forth on his authority, except what is contained in the boast that upon the main point at issae (the Sireet Commissioner) the Mayor remains in triumphant occupation of he field.” Our valiant cotemporary then says:— ‘This |x troe—although we all know that duriog the con. teat the Mayor was compelied to 7 ieid on collateral isstes— wnd {t's ectally trae, as the Mayor aud his organ empbatt cally say—*f be (Devlin) has no right there, the Mayor haz committed @ serious act of tasebordinatioa in bis ap- and the Governor and 2s party shou!d not Bhrinl: from (or nvurcement of the law ard the nally.” Let the Governor read carefully this sentence. tet the y in rebeiiton bas plaiuly ‘indicated to (he Governor bi nnd the conclusion is inevitayi to de late to enforce lai- ignity of the high station Fither be is wrong, Afranx and honwable man he mpst aduit bis rhe ‘'s right cr believes bimeelf right, and there. ce remove the May or from o't pare a the por toa to which he bas comm i thim Conor Good! For once our long-winded Chevalier has reduced the case within the limits of a nutshell. Gov. King is right or wrong, and should act ac. cording!y. if right in appointing Mr. Conover our Street Commissioner, it becomes the daty of the Gover to the fullest extent of his official powers, to put Mr. Conover into his office, aad to | relieve Mr. Woed of his official cares as Mayor of the city. But ifoa the other hand, the Governor | was Wrong in making the aforesaid appointment, be should publicly and frankly confess it, and surrerder at dieorction. The controversy cannot Stand long as a drawn battle. Mayor Wood must be removed, or Governor King must go to the wall The former bas been guilty of a gross mi; demetnor, or the latter has committed an offen- sive and de vooralizing act of usurpation have the to demand from the Go without farther delay or quibbliag, a confes cr a presecution--a capitulation or a trial. Oar statement of the Governor's opinions in the premises we believe was correct. Whether he bas since undergone any change of mind in regard to the doings of Mr. Recorder Smith ond hie po-se, or still believes they were illjudged and inexpedi we do pot know. We shail be content with the published views of the Gove nor himself as decisive upon this px bat it is more important that we should understand what be means to do in be- half of Mr. Conover. The poor man should not be kept waiting beyond the limits of patience outside the door. ‘hus much upon the main question. Upon an incidental point or two the Chevalier Webb next demands our attention. The Henity is not the organ of Mayor Wood, nor of any other man. In the common support of a great principle in morals or good goverument, whetber we may be dentified with Mayor Wood, the Chevalier Webb, the Angel Gabriel, or Beelzebub, it does not make ue the organ of any one of them. It is the just principle at stake, and not the indi- | vidual, ot which the Herar» aims to be the | organ. With regard to the individual Mr, Wood, a# @ politician or statesman, we occupy a potition of comparative indifference. It must be conceded, however, that in this Municipal and Metropolitan Imbroglio he has exbibited much more of pluck, decision of character, and per- severence and tenacity to hie purpose than Gov. King, and quite as much of consistency, dignity and propriety, ia his public conduct, as the Chevalier Webb. We demand from the Governor a settlement in Telerence to the Street Commissioner. There is Do necessity for another brutal fight between our two rival sets of policemen, to make good or void the pretensions of Mr. Conover; nor will the military be reyuired to secure the expulsion of Mayor Wood from office should he be proved an offender requiring the penalty. The courts will afford the ways ond means of a definite settlement. The temper of the Chewa- lier Webb upon the slightest provocation be- trays « hankering after bayonets and blood- shod, as in the early part of the present century, thea he doorished behind the “ maa ia the claret coiered coat.” From that day to this. through al hischeckered career, the Chevaller has played the ruffian and the snob. Half ruffian, halfnob, while as ready for a row aa a “Short Boy,” his dig nity and ecif conceit have been the very ewmence of flunkeyicm, We trust however, that Gov. King will meet and eettle his official accounts with the Mayer without consulting cither the in atincts ot the ruffian or the delicate eenstbilitivs of the fluukey. Hee must beat a retreat or main tain bis position. Nothing less will do. ‘The Spavish American International Treaties. Two treatica of union and alliance, one at Santiago de Chili and aaother at Washington, have been made during the past year by repre- sentatives of several of the Spanish-American republics, stimulated by a desire to avert the overshadowing destiny that awaits them. Both of these treaties have been given to the world through the columns of the Hrrain, and we have commented on them freely at the time of their publication, and shown clearly that they were pure impracticabilities, Founded only in the common sentiment of a vague fear, they possessed none of those bonds of material inte- rests which alone can bind nations together in the absence of an overawing power; while, at the same time, the feeling that stimulated their negotiation is not sufficiently all-pervading to make the. stipulations effectual. At the eame time that the representatives of the several Spanish-American governments were treating at Washington and Santiago to establish a union against what is called filibusterism, the agents of parties in several of these States were actively at work both in this city and in Valparaiso seek- ing aid and assistance, purchasing arms and fit- ting out expeditions. Chili is engaged at this moment in a filibuster- ing attempt oa Peru, with precisely the eame in- centives that moved the New York Commodores to support Walker in Nicaragua. It is a curious fact that while Walker has lost posvession of the prize that was to form the nucleus of our Indian empire, to wit, the Nicaraguan Transit route, the Chilian filibusters have got possession of their prize, which was the Chincha Islands, and are now busily engaged in piling up on the shores of Valparaiso vast quantities of inestimable guano. Fearing the defeat of their Waiker, whose name is Vivanco, they are making hay while the sun shines. Bat to return to the treaties of confederation, or rather co-operation, among the Spanish Ame- rican republics. The Mercurio, of Valparaiso, one of the leadiag aud most influential expoaents of public opinion in Spanish America, has a sensible view of them. On the occasion of publishing the one recently negotiated at Wash- ingtoa, it saya, “it is as incomplete, not to say impracticable, as the one made in Chili ;” and further, “ We have before now stated that we do not believe it possible to organize any kind of unioa or alliance between nations that pass the greater part of their time, and mis-spend their resources and energy in wars and party persecu- tions, which are the sources of foreign greed, and the canees of that decay from which they cannot escupe.” These are self-evident truths. The treaties which gave occasion to their utterance bave already become inoperative, and, in fact, of little more value than so much waste paper. New Granada, tbrough « large portion of her press, has rejected them; Peru already accuses Chili of acting in direct violation of their spirit ; Ecuador simply expressed her approval of them, and laid them away in her dusty pigeon holes ; both Peru and Chili, prime movers in their nego- tiation, have given a cold and tardy help to Costa Rica under their provisions ; the republics of Central America seeing that they were in reality nothing but paper ties after all, distrust | them: and Mexico, too busy with her own civil sentions, and inteut upon getting help from this country in apy form or shape, gives only a sort of grunting assent to them, and minds them no more. We have not the slightest idea that these international treaties between the Spanish-Ame- rican republics will produce any fruit whatever. ‘They are planted ina thin and barren soil, and are « feeble opposition to the impulse and ten- dencies of those communities. These are toward disintegration and decay. Reorxr Arson Truars.—-One of the most im- | portant trials occurring in this city for seme time past terminated on the 12th instant, in the Court of Sessions. We allude to the case of Thomas Deniny, who was found guilty of arson, and sentenced to imprisonment for the term of ten yeara at Sing Sing prison. ‘This crime, above sll others on the criminal | calendar, has been, and probably is now to a cer- tain extent, too oflea perpetrated for the purpose of defrauding insurance companies. It is a crime easy to commit and most diffieutt to detect. But since the establichment of rigid investigations into their origin by Fire Marshal Baker, an officer appointed for that purpose, fewer fires occar and their origin is better ascertained The case of Deniny exhibits features of a most atrocious character. The deliberate manner of preparing his grocery store with camphene and other combustibles, and in the dead of night ap- plying the torch, knowing full well that several families with belples children were sleeping in the apartments above, sufficiently proves the desperate character of the man. The evidence was put before the jury by Mr. District Attorney Hall in a clear and unbiassed manner—much better than he did in the Bur- dell case; thanks to the assistance of the Fire Marshal—and on the charge of the Recorder the jury concluded upon a verdict of guilty. This verdict has met the approbation of every good citizen; end we are gratified to announce the fact that there are yet jurors to be found who are beyond the reach of corruption. ‘The appointment of a competent officer, like Mr, Baker, to investigate into the origin of fires: bas saved the city hundreds of thousands of dol- lars. Insurance companies never entered into a safer or more useful enterprise—not only do they participate in the benefits, but the public are ually protected. The interests of both are identical. Cart. Ryyowns—We understand that Capt Rynders does not accept with the proper degree of amiability the good advice we gave him the other day, but is very savage about it. We would, therefore, reaseure him of the propriety of conducting himself in his high office as if he were on a trial of good conduct for the judgment of the United States Senate. We dare say that no appointment made by Mr. Buchanaa will be subjected to a more rigid cross-examination, should our United States Marshal get off the trock in the interval to the meeting of Congress In the meantime the Captain will probably dis- cover that when any self-important and high and mighty filibustering pretender, euch as Kos- suth or George Law, and 60 on, comesathwart our hawee, we only require # yory few days to take the etarch out-of bim. The Captain bas had a gocd time, tor the press haa been generous to- wards Mim ; bat let him remember the responsi- Malden of his position, and the perils of consort- ing with euch political trimmers aa Sickles, Dillon, Saaders, Hart and Fowler, or he may be reduced again to the perquisites of the Tmpire Club, Tar New Canai Law.—It ia well known that the infamous Legislature of 1857 passed law establishing a Cara! Contracting Board in order to get the patronage of the canals outof the hands of the Know Nothings into those of the republicans, This law was passed solely through the support and by the vote of Dan Sickles, who on this as on other occasions played Judas to his party and did the work of the republicans. The new Jaw, it seems, works as bad!y as could be tmegined; all parties are at loggerheads, and the work of the canals i is at a stand still. Ovr Gusta AL. te Ts IN Aveica.—The treaty which England recently concluded with the Emperor of Morocco—an abstract of which was published in the Heratp—farnishes another evidence of the vigilance wilh which she guards her commercial interests in every quarter of the globe, and how sedulously she secks to exclude other nations which aspire to trade with remote countries, the undeveloped wealth of which she wishes to appropriate. India first, and now Africa, furnish cases in point. The commerce of the last named country has assumed propor- tions well worthy the attention of all civilized governments, but more particularly of our own, Mr. T.N. Carr, in an able letter which we publish this morning, shows that our government has already neglected many fair opportunities of coping with her powerfal rival, and points out how we may yet overtake her in the race of legitimate profit. {n 1856 England seat out a traveller to explore the interior of Africa by way of Wed-Noon, and the minuteness with which he noted for his employers the different points at which outlets might be bad for manufac- tured goods and articles of tropical produce col- lected, are worthy of all praise. England, France, and even the States of Italy, already derive large profits from the trade of Central Africa, whilst the manufactures of our own country are almost unknown in those far off regions. This should not be in an age of progress like ours, and Mr, Carr, in the communication alluded to, asserts, on the authority of actual travel and notes taken on the spot, that Congress may, by wise legislation in the matter, enable our operatives and manu- facturers to compete with England in that quar- ter of the globe. The letter is worthy of serious attention. THE LATEST NEWS. Affairs ln Washington. THE DECIMAL COINAGK 8YPTXM—ILLNESS OF COM. JONRS—THE NAVAL S—ARMY REGULATIONS, ETC. Wasixcroy, June 20, 1857.

Mr. Field bas produced a york which will be found very useful to persons about to erect mansions at a dis- tarce from the large cities, In a series of twenty illus- trated chapters he has submitted designs of the italian, Getbic, Elizabethan, old English and Swiss styles of country house, trom the elegant villa of the rich man to the more humble cottage of the farmer and iadustrious laborer. Correct models are laid down for every sort of country mansion, and the results of Mr. Field's observa tions are given ia such intelligent terms that the plans can be modified, extended or oontracted, so at fo suit the tastes and purses of all. Au approximate tuble of the cost per cubic foot of each de- scription of house is given. This has been calculated on the average costof a number of such buildings erected within fifteen years, Tue book is woll printed, 1uns te about one hundred and fifty pages, and contains twenty illustra. tions.
