A remor was current in the city yesterday that the United States steam slosp-of-war Roanoke had arrived off Sandy Hook from Aspinwall with the Test of the filibusters on board, and that she there received orders to proceed to Boston. It was said these orders came from the Navy Depaztment at Washington, as the ship was required in Boston by the government. A suit was brought yesterday in the Court of Common Pteas by J. P. Weeks, the owner of the alleged clave bark Panchita, against the British naval officers who seized that vessel on the coast of Africa. Damages are claimed to the amount of $15,000. An order of arrest was issued and bonds fixed at $15,000. The correspondence, which we pab- lish in connection with the proceedings in this case, dces not favor the supposition that the Panchita was cngaged in unlawful traffic. We also publish a very full and interesting statement from the English Prize sailors of the Panchita, narrating the parti- colars of the seizure of that veasel, conduct of her officers and crew, sailing qualities of the ves eel, kc, &e. ‘ The Board of Excise Commissioners yesterday granted seventy two innkeepers’ licenses, sixty-eight of which were at the thirty dollars rate, one at thirty-five dollars and three at forty dollars. Four- teen storekeepers’ iicenses were granted—twelve at thirty dollars and two at forty dollars. The Board meets again on Monday night. We give elsewhere the particulars of a painful tragedy at Hoboken on Wednesday night last. It appears tht Oscar de Granville, 2 school teacher, and a yourg Cuban named Faederick Cueva, had a rencontre, during which Cu¢va shot his antagonist in the head. Granville died yesterday afternoon. Cueva declaies that he acted in self-defence. A small silver fiuit knife, bearing Granville's initials, was found near where the fracas occurred. City Judge Ruesell transacted a large amount of business in the Court of General Sessions yesterday, as will be seen by our report, and adjourned at noon.

Mr. Dutch- er, one of the members, gave a very dismu account of the condition of the republican party in the rural districts of this State, growing out of a diswatisfac- sion at the acts of the last Legisiature. He was of vigorous effort was made to receem it, Mr. Henry 8. Smith relieved his mind by abusing the Hreatp aad the demoorstic party of this city roundly. A committee was appointed to circulate republican docamenta throughout the State. There was a long and exciting discussion in the Board of Aldermen last night upon a report in favor of transferring the police property of the city to the Metcopoiitan Commissioners. The subject was finally teid on the table, and made the special order tor to-night. The Board of Councilmen concarred with the Aldermen ‘ast evening in the propriety of repairing the Bloomingdale road. The amended ordinance to reorganize the Croton Aqueduct Department was | made the special order for Monday.

Palmereton on the Central American The letter of our London correspondent, int facts in cornection with the Dallas-Clarendon treaty and the present position of the negotiations on this subject. I¢ maysurpriee the American pub- lc to learn that when Lord Palmerston declared in the British House of Paritament that the alte- rations made in the treaty by the Senate were of euch a character as to change its whole import, and were regarded by her Majesty's government as tantamount to its rejection, that he knew he was making a declaration inconsistent, to say the least, with the facta; that eo far from his having considered the Senate amendments as radically changing the character of the treaty, he had, on the eontrary, agreed to every one of them, ex- cept the second section of the “separate articles” relative to the Bay Islands, and to that section he bad propceed an amendment which, at the time he was addressing Parliament, had not even been submitted to our government for its approval. ‘The strange recklesences which Lord Palmerston exhibited in thus publicly perverting facts, which he ebould know would come to light atno distart period, can only be accounted for upon the gupposition that the old science of diplomacy yet prevails in England, aud that a diplomatic faleebood is a patriotic effort in behalf of one's country far removed from the stain waich at- taohes to a perversion of truth as between indi- viduals. We bejieve, however, that a sincere, upright and konest system of diplomacy, such as Mr. Buchanan and General Cass intend to pur- eue, wiil be found more than a match for the ter- tuous maveeavering of Lord Palmerston. To properly uoderstand the precise condition of the negotiations at this time it is necessary to give a brief history of the facts. The United States never recognized, ia any shape, the right of England to colonise or settle, or exercise any | control over the islands in the Bay of Honduras. Carrying out her policy of obtaining a foothold in Central America, Engiand contrived to colo- nize with British subjects—i. ¢., a parcel of half | negroes and half Indian vagabonds—eome of thore islande, and thereupon eet up a claim to their practical posecesion, upon the ecore of pro- tecting her eubjects there. It was supposed that this pretension was abrogated by the provisions ef the Clayton-Bulwer treaty; bat the re- markable interpretation placed upon that in- strument by Lord Clarendon, on the part of the British government, left the ques- tion still open, and hence the necessity of de- fivitively setting it at rest in any future eon- vention which might be made. Accordingly the Dallas-Clarendon treaty, as submitted to the Se. nate, contained the following clause, in the secord section of article 2, of the “ceparate arti- cles’ attached to the treaty:— We have advices from the Cape of Good Hope, | of icntvat: on Bee ae Ne aay ote iese, ated at Cape Town on 6th May.

There was a fair basiness done to Rotterdam and Bremen while Comme cv Bravery to tux Worx —Within the last few days the Richmond Linguirer and the F-ominer (conservative democratic papers), have | come out bravely in defence of the Kaneas poli- cy of Mr. Buchanan, oa illustrated through his faithful executive agent, Gov. Walker. We pub- lish this morning from the Enquirer a quiet bat very eignificant Ictter from Washington, which, we ehrowdély surpect, is from some writer speak- | ing ae one having authority. A convention has been elected in Kansas to form a State constita- tion. The fice State party refasing to partici pate iu said clection, the result is a body of dele- gates almost unanimously pro-slavery. They will, therefore, form a pro-tlavery constitution. Bat, to satisfy the free State party that no juggle | ehall be played upon them, Gov. Walker bas sald that this constitution must be eubmitted to the | ratification, bona fide, of the people of Kansas, and that unless this is done he will do all he can to have the sald constitution rejected by Congress. It is for this declaration that the Southern se- cession wing of the democratic party demand the head of Wolker, and threaten the most terrible | consequences, even to the dissolution of the | Union, if they do not get it. In this condition of things the calm, candid, logical end Mbors! views of the Southern letter | | in the Richmord Erguirr to which we have re | ferred, are wolhy & perusal by our wrangling, thrinking and timid democracy of Tammany HoK. As to the dsolution of the Union, from the admission of Kanras & free State, under the eprat'on of the ie law of Con grcre— an act lo which b was a very will- ing party—the joke has beseme somewhat stale. Slavery or no elavery in Kansas, democracy or bo comocracy in the South, the South and the » North will bow to the solution of the law ‘The Senate very properly modified this article, by striking out all allasion to the coavention pending between “her Britannic Majesty and the | republic of Honduras,” leaving the article toread that the United States and Great Britain “muta- ally engage to recognise and respect in all future time the Bay Islands as @ part of the territory of Honduras.” The reacous which actuated the Senate in this course are obvious. In the first place, it was an absurdity to recognise the sovereiguty of Hondu- ras over the Bay Islands, and at the same time practically to deny that sovercignty by erecting these Islands into a territory absolutely outside of the control of the sovereignty thue recognized. Again, it was deemed improper that the vitality of any portion of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain ehould be dependent upon the conclusion of a convention between Great Britain and Honduras over which we had no control, and in the negotiation of which we hed no part. And lastly, the proposition that the United States should be asked to become a patty to a convention with a third Power that slavery should never exist there, was deemed as impertinent as it was unneccesary, Slavery |# recognized by nearly one-balf of the United States; it is recognized in our constitu- tion; and however much ditference of opinion may ¢xict as to ite propriety, it is a political ele- meut in our policy. To ae ua therefore to be- come 4 party to the provicion ia question was little short of an insult, and was so regarded by nearly every member of the Senate but Me. Wade acd one or two other abolitionists, The republican members of the Senate voted for its expurgation. As to the question whether elavery shall or ehall not exiet in Central America, we have nothing to do-- we are not called upon to express any opinion. The impropriety of the clause of the treaty in question consisted ia asking us thus to become a party. As an illustration, let us sap pore that we were to enter into a convention with Mexico by which ehe pledged herself never to ad- mit into her government any of the featares of the | We would have a perfect | Britieh constitation. right to make euch a treaty, But what would England think if we were to ask her to become a party to such an instrument Avid yet the cases are preci ly parallel. may remark here that the couveotion with Hon. duraz, alluded to, has fallen through —the latter having refused to ratify it. The treaty, with this amendment, and several others, was tranemitted to England, and a= we learn from our correspondent there, who has am- ple courece of correct information, Lord Palmer- ston agreed to all the amendments till he came to the one regarding the Bay Islands. To this he added an amendment providiog ‘that whenever a satisfactory convention shall be concladed be tween her Britannic Majesty and the republic of Honduras, then the provisions of this article shall go into cfeet;’ and further providing that the islands hall never be fortified. As we are tn- formed, our government has refused to acquiesce in this amendment; and as avy amendment would require the action of the Senate, it is to be pre- sumed the whole matter may now be considered ae haviog fallen to the ground. We can readily underetand why our govern- ment promptly refueed to consider the amend ment of Lord Palmerston. It neither more nor less than a cunningly devised trap, by which the United States would not only recog: nice the right of Great Britain to hold possession of the Bay Istands, but actually would guarantee the posession till euch time as Hingland saw fit to relinquish it. Under the provision alluded to England slone becomes the judge of what sort of aconvention with Honduras would be “satisfac tory.” We have reason to believe that Lord Palmertton instructed the Briti#h Minister at Washington, Lord Napier, to represeat tg ouy -NEW YORK--HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1867.

As for the provision that the islands ehould not be fortified, it was doubtless with a view of more easily taking possession of them whenever such a course was deemed advisable. We require vo treaties with England upon the subject of Central America. If we @esire conventions regarding those countries, they should be made directly with the people there. The Clayton-Bulwer treaty was a mistake, Any repetition of the folly would be criminal. It fs upeless to try and patch up a material which is rotten in every fibre, and we do not believe Mr. Buchanan ever would have given his eanction to the re-opening of the nego- tiations which led to the Dallas-Clarendon coa- vention. That belongs to the history of the last wretohed administration of poor Pierce, and we are rejoiced that, like himself, it is consigned to oblivion. We have every confidence that one of the first acts of Mr. Buchanan wpon the meetiog of Coa- grees will be to suggest the propriety of giving the necessary notice to England for the abroga- tion of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. Tnis is the easy avd stateemanlike way to cut the gordian kuot and relieve us from the embarrassments and entadgiements which have been the natural re- sults of our conventions with England upon sub- jects in which ehe has no right to intervene, and Bo excuse but the folly which has heretofore char- acterized our foreign policy. With a statesman at the helm we can avoid in the futare the mis- takes of the past, and we have every confidence in the wisdom, patriotism and neeve of our pre- ecat chief magistrate to bring about o gratifying a result. Tue Scuemy or FREE Ne@ro Exar Pion FROM Arnica.—The project of establishing on a large scale the emigration of negro apprentices from the Weet Coast of Africa to the dilapidated colonies of the West Indies, is awakening a spirit of op- | position in England. An article from the Lon- @on Daily News, which we publish in another column, fully confirms the views we have already expressed on this new phase of the slave trade. It exposes in strong terms the delusion or the im- poeition of the scheme. Free emigration from Africa, where all labor, with a few exceptions, is slave labor; where for ages man has been the great representative of value, the circulating medium, in fact, of the whole continent ; and where there exists no class, besides the Kroomen, that has exhibited, even temporarily, a disposi- tion to leave the country, is a thing that can ever occur. ‘Those who are familiar with the emigration trade as carried on in the crowded ports of Europe, know full well the deception and fraud that are practised upon the emigrant, and the stringent laws that have been created there to protect him. Yet im spite of all these guards | and restrictive legislation, great abusca are being | constantly committed. What might then be ex- | pected in the dietant and barbarous parts of | Africa, where the old machinery of the slave trade, and the old tastes of the native chiefs for it still exist. The London Times and Locd Shaftes- Woald she not | correctly regard the proposition as an insult! | We | | bury’s committee both rejoice in the discovery that a slave costs £150; while a free emigrant | will cost but £7 108, a head, and that slavery | cannot succeed pecuniarily against such compe- of “free emigration” if the emigrants cost | £7 108. a head? That is just about the price that | is paid by the slave dealers now for negroes on the coast of Africa. We are told by Baron Humboldt that he hns | beard the West India planters discuss, with the | | greatest coolness, the question, whether it was | better for the propri¢tor not to overwork his ; slaves, and couseqaently have to replace them | | with less frequency, or whether he should get all he could out of them in a few years, and thea | purchaee newly imported Africans? With a sys- | tem of negro apprenticeship for a limited term of years, such a question cannot by any possibility | come up; the employer will undoubtedly get all ! he can out of them in a few yeara, and with the limited intelligence of the negro and the iolation ' of the sugar plantation, no scheme of legislation | can be contrived to prevent it. The history of | the elave trade in Jamaica can give but a faint idea of the consumption of negrocs that would { take place to eupply the vastly incre: od con- | sumption of sngar ia Europe, Yet we are told that for more than one hundred years the Eg- lish West India colonies received an average of teenty thousand Africans yearly, or over two millions of negroes, and at the end of that time had @ population of only seven hundred thousand ‘ blacks and mulattoes, free and slave. If such was the reeult when the Eaglish proprietor had a life interest in the slave, it ia easy to foresce what it would be when his poeseworsbip must expire within a fixed term. ) Tow Ison Ovremmax.—We add, this morn- ing, « couple of extracts from our London files, to the intelligence we have heretofore given on the subject of the Indian outbreak. It will be | noticed that the British government does not en- tertain the least doubt of its power to sappress the | mutiny, and punish the murderers of the British residents at Dethi. It is quite impoesible for any one at this dis- | tance to form a correct judgment on the justice of this expectation. The great East India Com. pany acd the condition of Hindostan generally have always been mysteries to the wor'd outside; even Englishmen, outside of the company’s ser. vice, fathoming the one or the other. It is known in general terms that the Hindoos, who are numeri- are a feeble race, whom generations of elaborate oppression have rendered almost helpless; but ft is also known that the company has for some years pursued the policy of adopting and edura- ting children of the better class ia India It may be tliat this “Young India,” like the “Young | Greece” of seventy years eince, is destined to an- | dertake a new war of independence. One thing seems clear enough. Lord Canning. the new Governor General, is an acolyte of Exe- ter Hall, and full of projects as well for the abo- Iition of slavery in our Southern States, as for the conversion of the heathen in India and clee. where. Itseems he has been experimenting on the souls of some Hindoos, whom he desired to eave, comprehensively, by the Exeter Hall method; forgetting that the Bast Indian who isa Jamb in his normal state, becomes a tiger when yeu touch his creed. The exasperation of the native troops the repeated matigies -the Saa- thal rebellion—and finally, this maesacre at Dethi have more to do with Lord Canning’s echemes of conversion than the publio is aware. Tar Lats Riors.—Prompr Jupscictat ACTIOw Requinen.—The inquest conducted by Coroner Perry on the bodies of three of the victims of the late scandalous riots in the Sixth ward, ter- minated yeeterday ia the rendition ofa verdict that the deceazed came to their deaths by gunshot wounds received in a riot, and that certain per- sons, enumerating fifteen, whose names will be found elsewhere, were active participators in eaid riot. Of the fifteen persons thus inculpated twelve had been arrested and in the custody of the authorities; but of these eix were discharged from custody, owing to one influence or another improperly exercised on their bebalf. The other three have so far escaped the officers of justice; but the Coroner has issued his warrant for their arrest, and for the re-arreet of the other six on the charge of homicide im the first degree. Some of the parties were actually before one of the courts yesterday on trial for riotous con- duct, bué at the request of the District Attorney the proceedings against them were suspended, |, and they were remanded to the Tombs. The future peace, good order and charac- ter of the city demand that justice be promptly and impartially executed against these lawless disturbers of the peace. If we would not lapse into the barbarous con- dition of such cities as Baltimore and Philadel- phia, with their organized gangs of Plug Ug- lies, Killers, Blood Tubs, and such other savage designations, we must see to it that the prompt and heavy vengeance of the law overtakes all the participators in the recent riots, whether they belong to the Dead Rabbit party, the Bowery party, or any other gang, or whether they fought merely ‘for the sake of gratifying their brutal passions. We presume that the Grand Jury, which is now in session, will find bills of indict- ment against the inculpated parties with the lcast poesible delay, and we do hope and demand that the District Attorney will, with equal propti- tude, have those indictments tried. We want to have this disgraceful epieode in our city’s history wiped away as speedily as possible. It is not de- sirable or politic to have the social wounds kept open, or evil passions kept excited, longer than can at all be avoided. There is no reason why the trials of these offenders should not be proceeded with at the present term of the Court of Sessions, bat there is every reason why they shoald be. We trust that there will be no useless frittering away of time in this matter. If the parties can establish their innocence, or show justification for their acta, let them have the speediest opportunity for doing eo; ard if their guilt, and not innocence, can be established, let the strong arm of the law be made felt with equal swiftness, Punishment, when epecdily administered, carries ten-fold more terror to the bresete of evil doers than when—as is too much the fashion in our courts—it moves along at a snail's pace, if it ever comes at all, ‘There are some thousand indictments on file in the District Attorney’s office, on which no effort has been made to try the parties. We want the we want Mr. District Attorney Hall to continue at the work of prosecution until the criminal calendar is cleared off.

The party issues which gave it life, vigor, unity and power have ceased to exist, and this Miseis- | sippi defection is but one of the many existing | symptoms of an early dispersion of the whole camp, and the distribution of its conflicting ele- | mente among the new parties which will occupy the field in 1860.
