Judge Davies quashed the writ of certiorari issued by himself to Judge Peabody, a preceeding which left Mr. Conover the legal possessor of the office. Judge Peabody, on motion of Mr. Field, then signed the warrants for the arrest of Mr. Devlin and the production in Court of the bocks and papers of the Street Commission- er’s office, which were at once issued and executed, Mr. Devlin being conveyed to Eldridge street, and the booka being brought by a constable into Court. Mr. Brady had previously obtained an injunction in the Common Pleas, before Judge Ingraham, which was duly served; but it was ignominiously slighted by Mr. Conover and his counsel, and the warrants cxe- cuted in their despite. Mr. Conover installed himself in the sanctum of Mr. Devlin, where a crowd ef wor- shippers soon assembled to salute the rising sun. Mr. Devlin and Deputy Sheriff Bennett were enjoy- ing themselves in Eldridge street prison last evening a well as circumstances and the warm weatber | would permit. ‘The intelligence of an insurrectionary movement in Kansas grew out of the fact that a committee of citizens of Lawrence had prepared a city charter differizg materially from thst granted by the Terri- torial Legislature, and the design of said comittoe of superseding the old charter with the new instrn- | ment. This action, which was in effect a nullifica- | tion of the law, was regarded by (ov. Walker as | treasonabie, and he forthwith made arrangements to _ repress the movement. Orders have been despatched to Gen. Hamey to,employ the whole of the military pty cE for Utah in preserving order in Kan- was Pbecessary. We bave news from Port au Prince, Hayti, to | the lst instant. Sickness was on the increase, and trade very languid. The first officer,one seaman, and the captain’s son, of the bark R. W. Packer, | had died of fever. Logwood and cofice were very scarce. One vessel obtained only twothirds of a cargo efter waiting twenty-five days. News from Vera Cruz to the 7th instant has been received. Vicario was still in the field and unsub- ved, sithough often defeated by General Alvarez. It is eaid that Comonfort’s treasury was empty, that public confidence in the government was geu- erally shaken, and that the prospects of the country at large were gloomy. The progresista party had carried tke elections in Mexico city, Paebla and Que” retaro. Fever prevailed at Guerrera. City of Mexi- ce papers of 4th of July state that the firet com- plete rumning railroad in Mexico was inaugurated on that dey. It was from Mexico city to Guada- lope Hidalgo. A quarrel between two parties in the lager bier establishment at 250 William street, named Ludwig Gimbrol! and William Gerigh, took place yesterday | forenoon, when the former was shot in the head an mortally wounded with a pistol in the bands of the | latter. Gerigh was locked up in the Tombs, while the wounded man was conveyed to the New York Hospital. * Leonard Schiefflin, a Metropolitan policeman, was | ‘tried and convicted yesterday, in the Court of Spe- cisl Sessions, of an aggravated assault apon Martin Ames. He willbe sentenced on Tuesday, and in ‘the meantime the case will be brought to the atten- | tion cf the Police Commissioners. The Coroner's investigation into the cause of the Seventeenth ward riot was continued yesterday We give a full report of the testimony taken. The attendance was not large, and public interest in this matter seems to be rapidly dying out. District Attorney Hall has promulgated e ukase @irecting all venders of liquors, wares and mer- cbandise, to close their places of busines on the Sabbath, and directing policemen to report all in- fractions of the law. How will this affect our He- brew fellow citizens? Are there any exemptions in regard to them? The testimony im the case of Capt. Conway, charged with committing an outrage upon Jane Haggard, on board the packet ship Switzerland, whe concluded yesterday. We understand thatthe United States Nary con tract for pork and beef was awarded this week to two houses in this city, one of whom took the con tract to supply 9,000 barrels of navy beef at $19 per barrel, and the other took the contract to sup- ply 6,000 barrels of mess pork at an average cost of $21 26 per barrel. ‘The City Inspector reports 374 deaths during the past week—a decrease of fifty as compared with the mortality of the week previous.

Walker had called out the United States troops to put down the rebels, waz at first rather startling; but we are now inclined to think that this reported ~re- bellion will turn out to be a mere flash in the pan. We derive this impression from an intelli- gent gentleman direct from Kansas, who informs us that this rebellious faction against the Territo- rial tax collectors is limited to Lawrence, and to the most rabid abolition part of her popula- tion. It appears that there are a few beggarly and desperate abolition politicians in and about Law- rence, whose fortunes in the political market are invested in the Topeka constitution, and that, to bring themselves in the foreground, these deape- rate men have been instigating this ruinous poli- cy of armed rebellion against the exccution of the local laws recognized by the administra- tion. ‘These political adventurers, with the quiet admission of Kansas into the Union as a | free State or as a slave State, would be left | among the rubbish by the wayside. Hence this desperate policy of a revolution against the col- lection of taxes under the laws of the late local Legislature. Let such a revolution be inaugurat- ed, and let there be a plentitul shedding of blood among the belligerents, and these nigger agita- tors of Kansas, and of both sections of the Union, will rejoice at the prospect of a savage sectional | reorganization of parties, North and South. But we are aseured that the Kansas policy of the administration gives general satisfaction to the people of Kansas—that the bulk, even of the | free State party, who repudiate the authority of the late Territorial Legislature as a spurious thing, are still in favor of submission to that au- thority, as but a temporary evil. Then, again, the paramount advantages of conciliation and peace to all partics in the Territory, cannot, it is believed, be seriously disturbed by the few despe- rate and reckless sectional agitators at Lawrence, whoee fearful game is civil war in the Territory: and a fierce and calamitous sectional contest for the next Presidency. We hope, and we believe from all our present information, that this reported outbreak in Law- | rence will be quieted without bloodshed—that the peace of the Territory will be maintained, and that the free State party, having the destiny of the future State of Kansas unquestionably in their hands, will consent to waive their objections to tte existing local laws, for the eake of peace, and the eubstantial intercsts of all classes of the com- munity. A border war in Kansas at this season | of the year would involve the destruction of the growing crops, as well as of the harvest already stacked about the farmers’ cabins. Thus, with | the return of winter, the suffering’ and desti- of starvation. Of the horrors of a civil war we apprehend all parties in Kansas were pretty woll convinced during the border ruffian scenes of | 1856; and from that experience it is not likely that any citizen of Kansas possessing a family interest or any property in the Territory, will be in « hurry, upon any protext, to revive the bloody and disastrous border atrocities reeulting from the treacherous and double dealing policy of poor | Pleree, Mr. Buchanan bas no other alternative than to enforce the local laws, d+ facto, as he finds them. He ie pursuing this policy, with a strict regard, withal, to the constitutional reeervations of the people. The country approves this course, ana we have no fears of the resultin Kansas, The recklew: emisearies there, of our revolutionary Presidential agitators, whether from the North or the South, will be disappointed.

Were the gentlemen who signed the circular in Teference to the Daily News to pay up the eum they mention—$100,000—and hand it to the edi- tor, it would be epent, no doubt; but the paper would be no nearer success then than it is now; nor could it after the whole expenditure be of the least use to any one in forcing him upon the gov- ernment for a desirable office. It would be s sheer, total loss. The signers of the ciroular must make up their minds in advance. The Mutiny tm india, We publised in our Wedneaday’s issue an edi- torial article from the London Times in regard to the mutiny {n India, which contains some re- markable developement of the policy tho British government intends to pursue toward the mighty empire it holds in the East. If it be true, as there is resson to suppose it is, that the Times oftimes draws its inspiration from sources high in the confidence of the present government, there would be no great danger in prophecying that Exeter Hall is to be let loose in India, For thus eaith the TJimes:— Now that wa bave conquered India, from the Indus to the frontiers of Siam, It is our {nterest to establish in ite homogeneity which it bas never before possossed. * = * ‘Yo retain powor in India wo must swoop away eve! political establishment and every social <umage, wht p= ‘conned our influence from being univ and com- To the reflecting mind there is something ter- tible in these utterances. One hundred and fifty millions of people are to be suddenly remoulded, not only in religious belief, but in the manners and habits they have practised from earliest childhood, and in the morals that have been in- culcated, generation after generation, for a period longer than recorded time has chronicled. Long before Manetho stood upon the ridge of time, and told us what was passing among the nations in its valleys beyond our ken, society in India was asit existe at the present day. The song of Veda bad even then been sung by countless millions already gone;to eternal rest, and established its priesthood and its soldiers, its castes and its parishs. Thousands of years before Europe had emerged from barbarism into the twilight of ci- vilization, the social forms of India had become eacred with their hoary antiquity. Yet now the dread fiat has gone forth, and Exeter Hall, in its self-righteousnese, is to be permitted to immolate millions under the holy cry, *I am better than thou.” Yes, immolate millions! A “conversion not merely religious but of morals, habits and man- ners,” can only be carried out through death and a new creation. A homogeneity that had never before existed since time was, which the Supreme Creator in his infinite wisdom had not seen fit to establish, must now be established by the pbarisces of Exeter Hall. “Every politi- cal ard social usage’ which may interfere with their supreme will must be swept away; but in this sweeping away of all the social and political ties under which men have existed for countless generations, the men must be swept away with their creeds. For half century has this self-righteous sect that now sits in some of Eng- lond’s high places endeavored to sweep away these creed and political ad social usages by preaching and persuasion. Hundreds of mission- aries have gone forth, and millions of piously gathered treasure have been spent, but the con- verts are to be counted by tens, Now other ar- guments ae to be invoked—the bristling bayo- nets and flashing cannon of England's armies are to carry new social, moral and political creeds to the crouching Hindoos. Weknow what the reeults will be. Philosophy teaches them to us by the examples of history. It little matters whether there be resistance or not; the same annihilation must ensue. Tamer- lane and Bejazet brought new creeds to the on- lightened communities of Western Asia and ‘clas- sic Greece; and where are they Ferdinand the Catholic brovzht them to Moorish Spain six con- turies ago, when she held the Arabic torchlight of learning up to darkened Europe; and what was the result? Wilberforce, the philanthropist, brought them to the rapidly developing commu- nities of tropical America; and what is now their political, social and religious condition? | Everywhere the eame dark sea of barbarism rolle ite lightless waves. Greece, Moorish Spain and tropical America differ from each other in their social, industrial and intellectual conditions only ae the shattered ruins of former civilizations must differ from each other {n the different eon- | stituents of their dighevelled materiala We | have said on a former eccasion—and we repeat it now—the bosom of Lixeter Hall nurtures the seeds | of decay for Eogland’s greatness. She may yet draw brack from these terrible promisings for India. The voice of warning has already been heard within her parliamentary walis; bat should the utterances which we have quoted above be carried out, wo be to India, and we to the true mission which Eagland seems called upon to fulfil in Eastern India, Mammoth Steam Lines—Col. Dudley Mann's Project of an Ocean Steam Ferry. In another columa will be found a letter to the citizen of the slaveholding States from Col Dudley Mann, in reference to his project of an ocean steam ferry between Milford Haven, on the west coast of Englond, and Chesapeake Bay. This scheme is based upon the anticipated euc- cess of the trips of the new mammoth steamship the Great Eastern, which of course will lead to the construction of other vossols of the «ame class. As there are but one or two harbors in England of capacity sufficient to accommodate steamers of this size, aod as it «o happons that they lie out of the great commorcial tracks, it follows that the euccess of these mammoth lines must lead to a complete revolution in the present relative importance of the Eaglish ports, Thus, Milford Haven, on the const of Wales, which at present has little or no shipping trade, notwith- standing that it is the flaest harbor in the three kingdoms, will in time occupy the firet rank amongst the great shipping ports. In longth it is about fifteen miles, with an average breadth of about two, anda depth of water cafficient for vessels of any size. It is completely land locked, whilst the acceso is casy and the egross | can be sccomplithod, by aid of the «trong | ebb, even in head winds. This harbor, in chort, fulfils all the conditions required for onchoring safely vessels of the immense tonnage of th. Great Bastern To render Milford Haven, however, convenient in other respects for a transatlantic termiaus, there are other features necessary, which, once the acheme is decided upon, can casily be enp- plied. It is situated, as we have already stated, on an out of the way part of the coast, so far as the advantages of internal communication are concerned. There are no lines of railway or of canal running either directly or near to it, and without at least the first of these facilities Mil- ford Haven would be practically useless as an Atlantic port. To supply this deficiency a com- pany has been formed for the construction of a railway from Manchester and Liverpool direct to Milford Haven, to be followed by another di- rect line from London itself. Of this company Col. Dudley Mann has been appointed the agent in this country, and, as will be seen by his letter, isnow endeavoring to raise the necessary capi- tal in the South by suggesting Chesapeake Bay as the fitting terminus for the mew ocean line at this side. But on this point there are other interests which will have something to say. When the original proprietors of the new vessel became discouraged by the magnitude of their under- taking, certain capitalists having a heavy stake in the Grand Canada Truok Railroad, offered the necessary sams to complete her, on the condition that Portland ehould be made temporarily her port of destination. Now Portland is admitted to be one of the finest harbors on the American coast. So is Halifax, in Nova Scotia; and if the interests of British North America were alone to be consulted, either of these ports should have the preference. The Canada trade and pamenger traffic will not, however, support permanently a line of this magnitude, and we question whether even the trade of the Southern States would be enfficiently remunerative to defray the enormous expenses attendant upon it. If these hypotheses are correct, all previous claims founded upon pecuniary or other aid must give way before the more paramount one of necessity. New York alone combines all the requirements for a terminus for the new line, and to’ New York it will ultimately have to come. Our city is the great centre of all the commercial and manufacturing industry of the country—it is the point from which radiate all the great lines of commu- nication which intersect the Union, and it is daily monopolising the foreign trade of all the second- ary ports. The proprietors of the Great Eastera and of all future vessels of the same class, must therefore see that their interests leave them no choice in the matter. It being ascertained that the port of New York affords them all the depth of water which they require, we are entitled to consider all further hesitation on this point as de- finitely settled. With the Atlantic telegraph placing us in hour- ly communication with Europe, and monster steamers conveying cargoes and passengers from Milford Haven to New York in eight days or lces,. we may look for a complete revolution in our present mode of transacting business. To what extent the change will affect our domestic inter- ests it is of course impossible to say, but that it will have an immensely stimulating effect upon all branches of our home as well as foreign trade there can be no doubt. Houses which have a large stake in mannfacturing and other monopo- lies will do well to prepare themselves for the saddenness and magnitude of the alterations which these new and improved agents of commu- nication will bring in their wake. If not, they will find to their cost that their humbler but more keen-sighted competitors will have taken advan- tage of these auxiliaries to counterbalance the in- fluence of their larger capital. Resignation or Sim. Drarer.—Disorganiza- tion gains apace in the “Metropolitan ranks. A short while eince it was the men who were re- signing in the hope of devoting themselves to a better and more honorable calling: now it is the chief, the working man of the Commission- ers, who withdraws, and leaves his colleagues in the lurch. Simeon Draper has resigned his seat at the Board of Commissioners. Various reasons are assigned for this step on | the part of Mr. Draper; but the main ground seems to have been an incompatibility of temper— as they say in divorce cases —between Mr. Draper and his colleagues. They could not agree about the disposal of the patronage under their con- trol, and consequently Mr. Draper—who knows the city better than either of his associates, and probably would have proved the most efficient officer of all the Commissioners—was obliged to vacate his seat, exclaiming as be went that he could not have believed that Nye would have used him #0, ‘This is the natural climax of corrupt schemes for the manufacture of political capital out of our neceseities. The new Police Commissioners were like other men in the possession of ill-gotten booty; they could not help quarreling over the division; and as usual the best man of the gang goes the first to the wall. There will he no rest, no respite from quarrels and dissensions and gen- eral inefficiency 80 long as the Police patronage of the city is used by the government at Albany, as 8 political engine for controlling the city, and advancing the interosts of a political party. Sim. Draper's resignation is only another breakage il- lustrating the impracticability of the whole echeme.
