The Board of Aldermen Yield the Police Property Wo the Metropolitan Commission, Two More Victims of the Sixth Ward Riot, de, dew he, GENERAL VIEW OF MUNICIPAL APFAIS. AOVUAL STATE OP THE VARIOUS CONTSBCS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE CITY RIGHTS. Publio events have encceedei each other so quickly in ie cliy since the adjournment of the Legislature, and £0 @omplicaied and various have been the changes and Owistings and windings attending the new measures, re. epectively, hat it has become most difficult, !f notam ut- Sex impossibility, for the communtty to keep accurately posted up with respect to the actual porition of affairs. Tt {ge with the purpose of relieving our readers from this em- ‘darrassment that we present the following gencral view of the condition of our municipal questions: — THR METROPOLITAN POLICE. ‘Tue Court of Appeals having decided in favor of the Gonetkctionality of the Metropolitan Police bill, resist- mmee te the execution of that law has practically ceaso4. ‘Mheee functionaries who took a leading part in opposition to the law have bowed to the decision of the Court @f Appeals, and have recommended obedience tw it em the part of all citizens, The committee of the Board of Aldermen to which was referred the question as to the @wposition of the various police tations and property troughout the city bave reported in favor of surrender- 1mg them to the new Commissioners. That report was mate the special order for last evening, and finally it ‘wes adopted by a vote of 19 ayes to 2 noes. The Comp- troller bas proposed to pay the members or the old Muni- crpa) force up to the time of their being severally dismiss- ed by the new Commissioners, or disbanded generally by the Mayor; excluding, hewever, from the benefit of this measure such members of the old force as were ap- pointed subsequent to the organization of the new Board. ‘This is drawing sitogether too nice » distinction, and is perfectly absurd. The Comptroller and everybody else ‘Kkeows that all who have actually beon engaged in the service of the city must be paid by the city, and {t might aa well be done with a good grace as not. Besides, as a mater of common decency and charity these men should not be, through any litigious or perverse crankiness on the part of Mr. Flagg, kept eat of their money a day longer than need be. ‘They are poor, and most of them have famities to support. ‘They are being victimized too, by a swarm of blood-suck- ing money changers who are buying up their claims against tbe city at an immense discount, We understand that ‘there \s no impediment to the payment of those no: thus epecially excepted Ly the Comptroller; and we hope, as a ‘matter of fa.r play, that an arrangement wil] be also made te remove this exception—eo as to allow all who have beea 4n the employment of the city as policemen, no matter ‘when appointed, to receive their hire from the cit7. ‘The police system of New York at this moment is unre- servedly in the bands of the new Commissioners, prealded ever by br. Simeon Draper. The old triple commission of Mayor, Recorder ant City Jadge is extinct in law and in ‘fact, and there is no: the star or badge of a Municipal pa- trotman to be met with in the streets, The Mayors of New Verk and -Broekiys are; ev -eficio, Pelee Com--| ‘missioners, and have an equal voice in the genera) management of the force, Of course, in cxse of ® disturbance of the peace of their respective cities, they eve the supreme contro! of the police force, as they al- ways have bad. An erroneous impression has preva led thai ihe new Commissioners absorbed 1ll police powers Bot that is entirely a mistake. Their jurisdiction extends ‘merely to the general reg: lation, management and appont” ment of the force,but the supreme power over \t in cases of Fhet, disorder or conflagration, resides intact in the chiet megistrater of New York and Brooklyn, and the tho ho rifts of the counties of Kings, Richmond and Westchoiter ‘Tho General Superintendent of the force is Mr. Tall- ‘wadg: —formerly Recorder of the city—and the Deputy Superintendents are, Carpenter for New York, and Folk fer Brooklyn. Im the latter city most of the captaios and men of the eid force have been retained—the appoint mente there being left to Mayor Powell and Commissioner Srapaban. In thie city reveral of the cap'aine, beaites there who went over to the now Commissioners warty the fgbt will be retained. And it is @rveo out thai the most active and we'll conducted men of the cid force will receive their re-appointment. If this principle be fairly carried out, we will begia to thiak Detier of the new Commi sioners. A movement has been originated in one of the up town ‘warde (0 procure & repeal of the Metropolitan Police bill, fend also ® severance of the city of New York and some of the lower covntion from the rost of the State and thelr rection into a pew State TUR STRART COMMISSIONRESHTP. On the death of Mr. Taylor, the Street Commissioner, who bad been elected to that office by the Keow Nothing party si the last clection, the Governor of the State ap- pointed Mr Daniel D. Conover to fill the office. The office Wnad ceased te be elective under the provisions of the new oharier, which gives to the executive of the city, with the content of the Board of Aldermen, the appoint ment of all heads of depswtmonts, The Mayor, acting under the plain meaning of the charter, ap pointed Mr. Charles Devlin as Street Commissioner, ‘That bronght the Governor of the Siate and the Mayor of the city into conflict. The Mayor's appointees was in- @ucted into office, and has since resisted the efforts of Mr. Gonover to obtain it. The latter applied to the Saprome Court, Special Term, to compe! Dev in to surrender to him the books, documenta, &c., of the Street Commissioner. Judge Peabody, who heard the arguments in the case, decided im fayor of the Governor's appointee. Cotem- poraneourly with that decision, ® temporary injunction was ietued by another Judge of the same Court (Roow ‘veH,) at the suit of the Mayor and Commonalty of Now . York, restraining Conover from taking possession of any Of the property of the city,to wit —the books, maps, docu. ment, Ac, belonging to the Street Commissioner's office. As Devlin, under the shadow o( this injunction, continved to execute the functions of Street Commissioner in despite @f Jadge Peabody's decision, further application was made to this Judge, first for a warrant for (the arrest of Dev!in and ‘hie commitial to the City Prison until be should deliver up the books, and then for asearch warrant, directing the She riff o search the City Mall and the Mayor's, Streot Commis- ioner's and Corporation Counsel's offices for the books. Pending the proceedings on thie latter application, Judge ‘Davies, another Judge of the same Court, \asued yesterday a writ of certiorari, commanding Judge Peabody to sus. pend further proceedings in the matter, and to report all the testimony, X¢., taken before bim to the General Tern ‘of the Supreme Court 08 the second Monday of Keptomber. ‘Thus we have the extraordinary spectacic presented of dhree co ordinate judges of the same court iswaing pro Conmes to nentralize onoh the action of the other. Fadge Ponbody has not yet decided whether be shall Obey the certiorari, If he shonid resolve not to obey it, but to iseue the warrants for the arrest of Devlin, and for the search for the books of the office, we will bave an her confict of authority, with. it may be, serious and deplorable remite, ae Judge Rooreveit's in Junction restraining Conover (rom posseeting himself of these books or other property of the city # In force, and Of equal effect with any warrant of s contrary character hat Judge Peshody may issue. 1, on the contrary, he Should make ap hie mind to obey the certiorar), ihe whole Dasiness will be left in im satu que til) September, Deriia ‘meanwhile occupying the office THE EXCISE COMMIasION RS. The Commissioners appointed under the new Foire aw ere, for #0 far, in undigpated exercise of their functions aemch. They have not yet been put through the ‘ery ‘ordeni of the law courts, simply hecause they have not yet taken any “lecided steps in the enforcomont of the Jaw All they have done towards & haa been to open an office and hold meetings to hear applications for license Up to this time they have granted but 319 licenses to storeucep: ere and Nquor dealers, Few if any of the members of the Liquor Dealers’ Aw Sociation bare applied for licewaes: and ae thin boly com. Priscs almons al] the respectable ficuor dealers of the city, ii follows that moss of Lnose to whom Licenses bave been granted gre either fresh acceesione w the trale, or ele Pereons whose ttle t) hold censes might well be ques- Boned. We do noi know wheiher thie is actually the oase, Dut such would certainly seem to be the logical deducion from the premises. Tn 1854 there were 4,671 taverr licenses granted jo this city. Adding to this the unlicensed drinking houses, there must ave been at least ten thousand liquor stores in the city, The number hae tncrew#ed tremendously since then, owing (0 the failure of the absurd attempt to introduce the Mane Liquor law here, and since then no excise law of any nd hav been in force. Probably there are at this mo- ment 12,000 places i the city of New York where liqvoris sold, and yet but S19 have applied for and received licenses, There are thirty-nine days ynore within whuch lwenses will be granted, Then the booke will be clored, and the war between the Fxoise Commissioners and the | quor Dealers’ Avzociation wil) commence in earnest. Up to that time, we understand, bo prosecctious are t be com- menced. Then the armirtice expires and the fight begin: ‘The Liquor Dealere’ Association stands pledged to defend and keep harmless each and every one of its members that may be singled ont for prosecution, and to test the jaw through all the tortuous twistings and windings tha skilful lawyers may resart to, until finally the Court of Appeais decide on its constliutionality. Up to the middle of August, at least, the liquor dealers may rest secure; but after that exciting times may be looked for. THE QUARANTINE AFFAIRS. We have bad mo renewal of hostilities on the part of the dshormen of Seguine’s Point againet the Commissioners for the change of Quarantine. The buildings there are placed under the charge of the Sheriff of Richmond county, the special police force detailed to take care of them having been withdrawn. As the county is responsible for wilfat damages to the Quarantine property there, it is to be supposed that no further iliegsl acts in that direction will be perpetrated. The location of the Quarantine at Secuine’s Point has had # more powerful enemy than the warlike oystermen. The Commissioners of Emigration have reported agains! the location as being, what every one knew it to be, utterly unsuited for the por- pose. The old quarantine and hospital buikiings are still, and bid fair to continue to be, used for the purposes for whicn they were erected. THE HABEOR BILL. | The Pilot Commissioners appointed under the vow Har | dor bill seem to have been adopting bitherto the do notniag policy. Their fees and emoin ments are to be paid out of a fund to becreated trom the collection of fines. Bat ifthere aro no fives theracan be no fund, sad consequently no pay, This reflection seems to have worked its way largely into te minds of the Commissioners, {or they held a meeting on Thursday and actually discussed that interesting feature of the bill. Aud so, as we find in our report of the meeting, they determined to set out on their own hook (that is, independently of tue Chamber of Oommerse and Board of Underwriters), commence furthwith to en- force the law and seo if the fines wil! pay expenses. Act ing under that decision, the Commissioners set to work and appcinted three superintendents, whose daty it is to report al! violations of the act. It may be presumed, there- | fore, that the Port bill is really in operation The mer- | chants are bitterly opposed to this and the other harbor bills particularly. } THE PORT WARDENS BILI4 ‘This measure is denounced as 8 shameless and bare- faced attempt on the part of the biack republican Logisia- ture to saddle our commercial clases with | the support of some doven lazy official. Tho merchants of the port used to baveafew well quall- | Hed men selected and paid by themselves to examine | damaged cargoes, estimate the damage, &c , and their de- | Cision was conclusive. These are superseded by a batch of nine officials formed Port W the name duty to collect a comm | per cent on goods so appraised, which, with other foes | for deing nothing, would make their aggregato pay | $108,000 a year. It is said that a nephew and brother. in- | law of Governor King hold two of these fat berths. Tue merchants and Board of Cnderwriters disregard these pew officials, and vend their own surveyors on board ships as formeriy; but still the Port Wardens bill is virtually in operation. THE CENTRAL PARE. The Central Park Commissioners have had no legal im. pediment thrown im their way. They meet occasionally, advertise for tenders for contracts, and transact rogular routine business. There is lesa epposition to their pro ceedings than to those of Commissioners noder any other of the new laws. THE NEW CITY HALL. We bear nothing at all of the Commissioners for ihe erection of the new City Hall. They are probably romain ing quietly in the background, waiting for the result of the Street Commissionerehip contest, and for the subsi- dence of the agitaled waves of public opiniof {n the mo: tropolia. STREET COMMISSIONER'S CASE. THR PROCEEDINGS SEPORE JUDG FRABODY INTRR- RUPTED BY A WRIT OF CERTIORARI. SCVREME COURT—ArBolsl THK. Before Fon. Judge Peabody. JOLY 10.—tn the matler of the application of Danirl D. Conover to compel Oharies Devlin to surrender to him the books, maps and papers of (he Street Commiasioner’s Depart muni —Mr. Vield addressing the Court anid —The order and warrants I gave yestorday I desire to have nettled 1 én deavored yesterday to get a more accurate description of the books belonging to the Steebt Commissioner's office ‘than that mere genera! description that we hav@alrealy given. I am not able now to describe thom accurately, but | produce a schedule as full ax could be made. ‘The Court said the first thing to be done war to seitie ibe order; he was under the impression that the order relf should be made for the whole, and that on the lofendant refusing to comply with the order the warran{ should be served. The order hall be ised, and the defendant have an opportunity of complying with it, These warrants are analagous to exe vations. Ths or for igmned and not complied With--non consa’—there may be reasons why \t could not be complied with; ths haad of Providence may inter. pore; there may be very goo! reasons why the order should not be complied with, and the party should, the e- fore, be hear’! before the iseuing of tae penal execution. The statute itself tn this particular is exoredirgly meager. Mr. Noyes eal that they were under the impression that after the order wax made ont it was the duty of the defon. dant to make an aMfdarit sufficient to exempt bim from impriconment They he., however, go objec lon to the suggestion of his Hoaor; at the same time the public in- torests murt be looked 10.

Ae (Mr. Bra- dy) wished to explain what he said yesterday avout the rift. He meant that he felt confident that the Sheri woul! not serve the warrants during the peudensy of the injunction before Jodge Roosevelt. He auggorted that this order should stand over t\\) Tuetday next, when, if Jadge Roosevelt dissolres ihe injunction, his Honors pats woud then be clear before him. As the Cort had ¢uggested, Mr, | Devlin may bare many ore to make to that order. Mr. Brady read froin the statutes, and contended that the | books should be accurately dereribed. Toe law wever contemplated that any man for whom it was impossible to deliver up books shoul! be imprisaned fr contempt The | city authorities may have taken porserrion of thit proper | ty, for aught he knew, aud therefore ic would be impow sible for Mr. Devlin to give them up. | Mr. Field hat no doubt about the jurisdiction, and they | would take the bagard, if any there be: he propored to take the order amd have it served immediately on Mr. Deviin. if bo can be found (Mr. Devlin, who was in court | with bis counsel @miled at the sw itien that he could | not be found) : and if the ia eet complied with, « warrant should be larued for Me arrest.

He did not believe that the Mayor had any of the books as yet. The order was then altered 10 as that the warrant should include the search of she Hall of Records and corporation yards, ‘be apartments and roome set apart for the duties of the office of Street Commissioner. The order, as amended, was then banded by Mr. Field to Mr. Conover, whe served {{ on Mr. Devlin in court aud made formal demand of the book +and papers.

The fifth meeting of the Board of Aldermen for this month was beltat 6 P.M. yestorday—Alderiain Clancy, President, in the cbair. The following resolation, offered by Alderman CLancy, was unanimously adopied:— USE OF THY GOVKRNOR’® ROOM TRADFRED TO THB HON, Jas. GUTHRIG Whereas, the Hon.

The report Pelice Committee on Station Houses, which was laid of the table at the last meeting and made the special order of business for inet night, was then taken up. Alderman TreKeR thought the report of the comm'tice was about all right, but he would like to have the resolu- on so amended as to expressly give the utc of all the station houses, a)! police property, tel iC apparatus and the office of Chief of lolice to the Metropolitan Police Commieioners. Alderman Mc2rnnoy offered to amend Mr. Tucker’s amendment by inserting in the resolution to give up the station houses, &c., that the oflice of the Chicf of Police be notgiven up. Alderman Trcke® urged that the Chief's office ahould be given up with the rest of the police fixtures.

They were, how. ‘ever, doomed to be disappointed, for there were few visi lers, wilh the exception of several hungry reporters drawn thither in search of tems by the aforesaid wiseacres, and anxioasly the ¢Cenovement of some reportabie fracas. Their labors were, however, for naught, and afvor wistfully looking over tho mape of property up town, and (poor fellows) wishing that some unknown uncle would only leave tbem a nice little plot, they saun- tered out of the office im sheer despair.

What renders this case so siagular and interesting. to the medical fraternity especially, is the fact of deceased remaining in utter inorance of bis wounded condition for nearly three quarters of an bour after the fatal shot was fire’. He crossed Bayard street to Centre, walked down Walker atreet to West Broadway and there took one of the Kighth avenue cars. He then rode up as far as Nineteenth street, and it was not antil the car stopped and he attem sted to rise and take his departure tbat he «/'scovered that he was shot.

New Yous, July 8, 159%. In your paper of this morning I uotice in your report of the Coroner's investigation that Israel Bowers, » regulse policeman, being sworn, said—That he recognized Ber- nard as one of tho leaders of the riot, and isons a ‘Dead Rabbit,’ urging the rloters.on,”” &o, Next, J. C. Coben, of 21 Columbia atrest, being swern, says, ‘He was thore at six o’olock, and saw a man shoot Bernard while he (Ser nard) was im the act of throwing a brickbat.’* \ow then in the first plac, that policeman mast bo very ltsie ao- quainted with the Dead Rabbit party to identify Bornard a+ ove of them; and next, Mr. J. C. Cohen must be sadly ous of his reckoning when be rays that Bornard was shot as tix o’cl-ck. Now I Bnow, and can prove by four peroue besides myeelf, that we were in his company fil a quarter peat seven, over half a mile from the scene of the riot, end. when he left our company he was perfectly sober, not baving drank Le ag all during the afternoon. The object of my writing this is, that I know Bernard wata aceable citizen, having & wife and family dependent on ‘im for support, and it will be an everlasting pain to bis dis tracted family to bear through life toe thought that the pap- Ne recognized him awa leader ina riot. [ may mention here that it was on Mr. Bernara’s way home that ied him through curiosity, the same as many other innocent peo- pile, to go through Bayard street on the night he was shot. ‘pn conclusion, there afe many friends of Mr. Bernard m the city who can prove that he waa an honest, unrighi and peaceable citizen. JUSTICE, Musical and Dramatic. Decidedly the most interesting fact in the world of art, just now, Is the manner in which the admirabie lady, Madame La Grange, has been abie to sucisin berseif 20 successfully in the bold enterprise of a season of opera at the Academy of Music, As this is believed to bo the first time in this city when a lady has assumed tho usually crushing weight of such a burthen, it excites moch aiten- tion. The lady has now, however, been with us a jong po- riod, and she begins to experience a fact which 00 previoan artiste of her rank ever realized, as none have ever before made so long a stay with uz. She has outswyed the mero appetite for the novelty of her first coming; whith not jong since was much of the reason by which people in Wis country were stimulated to encourage art atal!. Sho haw been with us whilst the press hae brought all its powers to bear upon the task of creating a wide familiarity with ber name and the fascivation of herart. [ast night ebe sang in “Trovatore,” and although the majority of the professed resident patrons of the opera have left the city, yet were there so many strargors from all parts of the country present, that the numer of ber audience yiekded upwards of $2,700, the greater portion of which was takeg for a choice of soats before two o'clock yesterday after noon. But with all the attractions of this opera—to sing which is happiness to tke admired prima donna, ecstacy to the glittering Brignoli, meat and drink to tho excellent and rotund Amodio, profersional reputation to tho contrat, Miss Phillips, place and propriety to the roncroe Co- letti, and ® sure surplus secured to the treasury of the Academy—yot, witb all this, tho cram, the entbusi- astic appreciation, and the cash in Ta Grange’s etrosg box, have afundamental bagis in the constant advocacy of the press. It is through this means that art bas been brought to the attention of the country—more particularly through wency ot this journal, now reaching so extensively to every quarter of the comiry from which these rommer patrons cf the opera are collected. The Opera House last night presented the old ace stomed eplendid array as reviewed from any point where the crowded tlers could be seen. All even to the ampbi- theatre were packed, both seats and passage ways. Yet appears that large numbers were typed awsy a'r notice was ttuck up that no more seats could be roid. It is just now when so many traders anil visiters are in tho city that the Opers Hongo is doing ita most import nt office to the city and achieving the ure for which |: was pot op. It in to be hoped that ia Grange will be |nduced by ber snecess 10 extend her season for another week. Wf net at the Academy alone that this is attested. ‘Mies Logan, at Wallack’s theatre, affords aiso nigbuly ev) dence of the honest success which a just and wide pods city provides, against certa'n invidious processes by whi.n the individual intrigues ad practices of a faire ayatemn of journalism attempts to supersede tho utilliy o: baving @ legitimate circulation. Miss Logan will close on Saturday evening an engagement in which the bas vind ated ber rapk as @ iirst clase tragedienn+, and ostabluhed @ pew era im ber artistic career, For her veces here Mies logan’s taleat bas been her war- rant. She has yet to reap the farther benetwr which a jost vindication of that success bas had in a journal addrosaing, not morely the dentzoun of one oF two. wards of Now York city, but the ontire people of these aud of other Stator, Strakotch and his troupe have just returned from a par tial tour of the Union and the Canadas with tho [nalbery troape. They went over ground already in a ood degree harverted, as it was thought, by the previous tour of the king of the clavier, with Ulman. But they bave never- thelees returned with some twenty thousand dotare cleared. Ali parts of the country are now thoroughly waked op in tho matter of a taste for art, capecially for music, The sowspaper bas procured an agitation of thie matter which will yet result in @ patronage and Seid for this sort of ¢ffort heretofore une xampled in the work. The other places of amusement in the city are ait well patronised, cepecially Niblo’s, the favorite summer resort, which, with the now dansew, Signorita Rolla, \# now in a pightly plethora of celightet persons. Toucbing upon these successes within our" amedian scope and away, it Is pleasant to seo that atl) beyond there are other fields of art in successful tllage, The feverite of young New York, “the magnificent Vestvali,”’ like La Grange, another manager of ihe opera, where even tho most skilful iapremarioe baa failed, has also been reaping & rich success. Where the dominion of La (range here is bounded on the south, thence doos the sway of the Vestvali extend—Mezico, Ilavana, the cities of Souths America, all the ancient empire of the Spaniards in the ‘Wert Indies and South Amorica, Dave pai! their tribals to ber in a rch afituence cheracteristic of the vlime.
