Quite a sensation was created in the city last even- ing by the circulation of a report that the Jadges of “the Court of Appeals had made up their opinions wpon-the question of the legality of the Metropolitan Police act. It was even stated with great particu- } larity that the Court stood six in favor of the con- | men in reserve, who are to hold themselves in readi Prot 4a | ness to assist in protecting the property at a mo ment’s warning. This step has been taken in com pliance with a notice served upor the Gheriff by the Commiseioners of Emigration and Quarantine Com missioners, calling apon him, under the mob and riot act of April 13, 1855, to pregerve the hospital build- ings against the threatened violence of a mob. We have partial returns of the election for dele- gates to the Constitutional Convention of Kansas. As it is a one sided affair throughout, the result ia unimportant, except so far as it exhibits the strength or weakness of the opponents of the free State party in the Tegory. It is believed that the vote will be a light one. The anti-rent troubles have again broken out. On Saturday last, as Sheriff Brayton and party were pro- ceeding to make a sale of property in the town of Bern, twenty-two miles from Albany, in the anti-rent district, they were fired upon by some one in am- bush. They immediately gave chase, and arrested a young man named Shultse, son of the person whose property was to be sold, and found him armed with agun. One of the shots passed throngh the hat | of one of the Sheriff's party. No one was injured. ‘The sale was then concluded without further trouble. | ‘There is said to be another side to the story, which places quite a different complexion upon the affair. The cotton market was frm yesterday, while sales were confined to about 500 a 600 bales, based upon middling ap lands at 144yc. a 14Xc., and New Orleans do. at lie, ‘The carly expected arrival of the Pertia had a tendency to check transactions.e Common and medium grades ot flour, with a good local and Eastern demand, improved 5c. to 10c, per bbI., with increased sales. Transactions in wheat were confined te Milwaukie club at $150 a $1 52, and prime red Tilinois at $1.65. Corn was more active, with rales of sound Western mixed at 8c., 83%;c. a 84c., and tion, or nothing. We may then anticipate at the next Congress a most ferocious collision between the Seward faction of the Norta and the secession faction of the South, and for a policy prompt and decisive, no slavery or pro-slavery, just or unjust, and without regard to consequences. The charper, indeed, the offence to the North or the South, pro-clavery or no davwery, the better will the action of Congress suit the purposes of both Northern and Southern agitators, It follows, from these facts and deductions, as the Gsy foliows the night, that between these clashing and violent sectional extremes, North and South, Mr Buchanan ia pursuing the only course of eafety and of peace. In the farther prosecution of this impartial policy, the adminis- tration may be required to send back for the reconsideration of the people of Kansas the State organization of both parties. Thus Kansas may be kept in a territorial cond'tion a year or two longer—thus the sectional agitation upon the subject may be revived and inflamed into the re- organization of a more virulent Northern party and a more eharply defined Southern sectional party, than anything of the eort in our past histo. ry. But the administration uced not be alarmed. Sectional parties were attempted, North and South, against the comprom’se aote of 1850, but those measures, North and South, in 1852 were abundantly sustained by the peopie. Thus, although in the interval Mr. Buchanan may be harrassed by the Northern nigger wor- shippers’ pariy, and by the Southern nigger drivers’ party, upon this Kansas question, the people in 1860, through a great Union conservs- tive party, will endorse the faithful execution of the Kansas-Nebraska bill. The masses of the Southern people are honest. Although they may lose Kaneas upon the test of popular sovercignty, which they bave accepted, they will abide by it. ‘The maszes of the Northerh people are just aud liberal, and they are content to await the solu- tion of the fair and Jiberal Kansas policy of Mr. Buchanan.

It is abundantly manifest that Mr. Buchanan's conservative Kaneas policy has placed him under the cross fire of the two most mischievors dis- union fagtious of the country—tbe Seward nig- ger worshippers of the North, and the secession nigger drivers of the South. 7 ‘The Southern organs in the interest of the se- cession fire eaters for come weeks past have be painting Governor Walker, of Kansas, as one of the blackeet and most upprincipled scoundrels of these degeoerate times. They tell us that he is & dishonorable bankrupt avd an unscrapulous political trader; that Mr. Stanton, his Secretary of State, is a diseased Southern potato of the rame kidoey, and that both have sold themselves to the abolitionists to make Kansas a free State, through the hocus pocus operation of submitting | the State Constitution to a vote of the people, The Northern anti-slavery organs ot Mr. Seward, | on the other hand, can detect nothing bat treach- en | cers with the military force, thus ensuring their | ery to freedom in the esyings and doings of sufety from attack while on the journey.

Upon the Dred Scott decision he sails straight forward in the wake of Chief Justice Taney, from beginning to end, which is easy and plain sailing Upon the Kansas question Mr. Douglas goes a little ahead of Robert J. Walker; for, gays the gentleman of Illinois, if the free State perty “ blindly and obstinately refuse to exercise a carmavcu vac: wy td Laws of Congress, upon their heads,-and theirs alone, will rest the \ fearful responsibility.” | equivalent to the declaration that the State con- | stitution which the Kansas pro-slavery party may | adopt will be acceptable to Mr. Dougias in the United States Senate as the basis upon which to | admit Kansas into the Union, whether said con- | stitution shall have been or shall not have been tubmitied to the people of Kansas for their ratifi- cation, Governor Walker, on the other hand, says that if this State constitution is not submit- ted to the people be will do what he canto secure | its rejection by Congress. Thus we see that while Robert J. Walker occupies the middle con- cervative ground of Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Douglas | ocoupies the extreme ulira Southern ground on | this Kansas issue.

A a Fog. Our respectable, though rather slow, cotempo- rary of Walletreet, the Courier and Enquirer, bas not yet found out about Gen. Comonfort, though it comments on Mexican affairs yesterday with anair of solemnity that makes it seem as if it were the very owl of Minerva. Had it held its tongue its select number of readers might have supposed it pondered deep in wisdom. It has epoken, and its ignorance is palpable. It teils us that “ the peo- ple of Mexico, by a large mejority, have very recently elected Comonfort as their President, and ratified a new republican constitution.” We regret that our respectable Wall street cotempo- rary has fallen into this error; but as he hea done 80, we are compelled, throngh a feeling of deep compassion, to pick him out of it. We beg the Chevalier, therefore, to remember that there has been no election whatever of Gen, Comonfort as President of Mexico, He is President eubstitute in liep of Gen. Alvarez, who found the cares of power too much for him. Neither have the peo- ple ot Mexico “ratified a new republican con- stitution.” The new constitution of Mexico was adopted by Congress without any provi- sion for ita ratification by the people, and it has not been submitted to them. The pation was required to accept it by swear- ing fealty to it, and a large majority of, the off- cers of the Federal and State governments, the army, and a portion of the clergy, have taken the oath. Another and a large portion of the clergy have refused to do so, and are now conspiring against it. Under this new constitution each State and Territory is divided into representative districts of forty thousand inhabitants, which are sub-divided into wards of five hundred inkabi- ' tants. On the last Sunday in June the people will meet in each ward to elect an elector, and on the second Sunday in July the electors will meet in their respective districts to elect Deputies to Congress, President, and magistrates of the Su- preme Court. We hope we have made it clear to our respecteble cotemporary that General Comon- fort has not been recently elected Presidens of Mexico. Our respectable cotemporary of Wall street is algo anxious to defend Palmerston from the sus- picion of meddling in the combination of Spain, England and the Pope. The Chevalier has been at Broadlands. The Chevalier has had his legs yfider Palmerston’s mahogany. The Chevalier cannot see any speck in Paimerston. To the Chevalier Webb Palmerston’s record is as clear as crystal. But, unhappily, the world will not see through the Chevalier’s spectacles or the Chevalier’s wine glass. Had Chevalier Webb taken care, as a journalist, to go to original sources for information of passing events, he would have seen things quite differently. He would have found that Palmerston is in practice the most | thoroughpaced opponent of liberalism that has been seen among the men of Englend | for forty years. He would have seen that his | whole policy on this continent has been to in trigue against this cotmtry, which he both fears and hates-that he intrigued in Texas through Capt. Ellict, and in Central America through Chatfield, as long as he could—that he seized on Ruatan without a shadow of pretence, and now refuses to return it-that he gathered a fleet at | San Juan del Norte, and eadeavored, in every way that he could without showing his hand too | directly, to favor the Costa Ricans in their seizure of the Nicaragua ‘ransit route--that | to despoil Nicaragua of any participation in that | artery of American commerce—that under cun- dry pretences he sent a British fleet to the | Isthmus of Panama and to Carthagena lately, | when he feared that we would execute just | ' punisbment for the Panama massacre ; and if the | Chevalier will look into it now, he will find that | British ships are now gathering at Vera Cruz under various specions pretences, but really with orders from Palmerston to help the Pope and Santa Anna and the Spavizh expedition all it | can. | cotemporary will study these passing events in | our own immediate vicinity, and keep a sharp | look out for his old friend Palmerston’s tracks “there Tne Covyrry Press ox ovr Muwretrat.

It is complately disorganized in leas than three mouths after Mr. Buchaman’s enteriag upoo his administration, and this bas been done and fe- mented by those who pretend to be Mr. Buchanan's ‘best friends, and who are his appointees at the Custom House. If something is not done ia the matter the administration party wilt be in a bad way in New York—os bad as it was in the first days of poor Pierce’s administration. But we rather suspect these disorganizers will find the apparently very quict and censible states man of the White House a different sort of chief from bis silly, vain, inefficient predecessor, poor Pierce. The French Bilecttons, The firet Legislature of France since the empire has just been dissolved, and tho country is now busily engaged in electing new men to go through the farce of legislating for the country during the ensuing six years. The spectaclp is full of inte- rest both to republicans and to thinkers generally, The government is not afraid of being accused of interfering in the elections. It comes out with a long circular from the Department of the In- terior to the prefects of departments, instructing them what are their duties in reference to the election. Monsieur Billault, the subscriber of the cireular, takes. credit to himself and to the gov- ernment for allowing “hostile candidatures” at all “Let them come forward, these opponents of the government,” says he in a burst of chival- rous generosity; “the people erected the empire, they love it, they will uphold it.” Pursuing this cogent logic, the Secretary of the Interior ad- monishes the prefects that they must not thrust into prisen the republicans who may want to vote for candsdates of their own; they are to be se- verally let alone, and shown up to public scorn and ridicule; meanwhile, it will be the duty of the ealaricd officere of government to strain every nerve to secure the triumph of the government candidates. There is no mincing of the matter; &M. Billaalt’s publiehed circulor specifies distinctly the peculiar branch of the duties of office-holders; indeed the frankness of the procerding is its best point. “ On the other hand, the republicaus are in great etraits. The Paris organs of the party have keen notified that they will be permitted to advocate the claime of republican candidates to the suffrages of the people of Paris. But simul- taneously we learn that “ warnings” have been addressed to certain republican journals in the provinces on account of their appeals to the re- publican party to stand by its candidates. This inconsistency has embarrassed the Paris republi- cans; aud the general opinionamong them seems now to be that the government is not acting frankly, and that if they avail themselves of the the privilege conceded to them, they will some- how find themselves caught ina trap. On this ground, we believe, the editor of the Siecle, the leading republican organ, refuses to allow his name to be used as a candidate. There are other considerations upon which the republicans are bestowing much thought. The registered number of voters in France under the Imperial scheme of universal suffrage is over nine millions: this, in a population which the late census tables assure us docs not vary much from thirty-five millions. In round numbers it would appear that one out of every four persons in France is a voter. We need not dwell upon the enormous improbability of the actual number of voters being so large. in this country, the voters loom up in a very different proportioa. We are ronning bot little danger of exaggeration when we estimate the total white population of the country at the time of the last election at twenty-six millions of souls ; yet the vote polled for Buchanan, Fremont and Villmore but slight- ly exceeded four millions. Aguin, it has long been an axiom among statesmen and military mea that on occasions of great emergency, as, for instance, in the event of a foreign invasion, the fighting population of a country could not be compared with the aggregate population in | avy higher ratio than 1 to 8; one-eighth, in other We hope our respectable Wall stree, | wotds, was the largest posible proportion of adult males (from the ages of 16 to 60) capable of bearing arms. Napoleon the Third finds over 1 in 4 capable of voting. Finally, all the electoral machinery is in the hands of the government. The repnblicans have to trust to the honor of their opponents as their only eafegnard against fraud ; there may be stuffed ballot boxes, falee returns, force and vio. lence at the polls; none of these things can be known, for want of 9 free press;and if the go- vernment triumph requires them, they can be perpetrated. On a review of these facts, Genoral Cavaig- bac and other represent of the republican party ecem disinclined to avail themselves of the invitation government to “some out and get whipp Tt ay that it were a pity to interfere with the entire performance of the elec- toral farce.

This com- mittee is the regular committee, and it occupied about five thoasand votes, with Libby at their head, which, however, never amounted to much and could not get into Tammany. This faction, after dwindling away during the winter on short ra- tions, revived again after the inauguration of Mr. Buchanan, in consequence of several leading officeholders getting hold of thei and persuading them to organize against the regular committee of the former year. One of the first movements of this disorganization was the election of seven new sachems by the members of the Tammany Society, which is a close corporation, of which the majority are well known black republi ‘These seven eachems, clected by the majority of this Tammany corporation, authorized a conven- tion and the making of a committee of their own to oust the regular committe: elected last fall.
