The recent insurrectionary movement in Kansas lana by this time reached a crisis. Despatches re- ceived last night state that on the 17th inst., Gov. Walker encamped outside of Lawrence, with eight a of dragoons, under command of Colonel Cook. The citizens had, up to last accounts, re- fused to negotiate, and had resolved to resist when fired upon by the wilitary. We do not, how. ever, apprehend that the free State men will piace themselves in bodily danger. Eight companies of dragoons are rather too formidable for even the redoubtable General Lane to attack. Governor Woiker had issued warrants for the arrest of the Lawrence malcontents, and no doubt they are duly adjourned on the 16th, after renominating the old State officers, so called. Gen. Lane is to organize ‘tae free Biate men, with the view to action at the October election. ‘The city was startled yesterday morning with the news that another policeman had been killed while ‘in the discharge of his duty. The facts and cireum- | stances are fully related in another part of to- day's paper. It appears that a burglar was detected | in the act of plundering a store at the corner of Cen- | tre and Grand streets by a policeman named En- | gene Anderson, who, in attempting to effect his | arrest, was shot dead by the thief. The bargiar was subsequently apprehended, and is im prison awaiting the course of the law. The greatest excitement existed throughout yester day in the neighborhood of the place where the murder was committed, and about the Tombs. ‘The friends of the murdered man were determined to lynch the burglar, and if they could have laid | tands on him he would undoubtedly have been hung upon the nearest lamp post; and a great many highly | respectable citizens were heard to expres the opinion that the example would have been a very salutary | one. A large meeting of the friends of the deceased was held at the Fourteenth ward station | house last evening. Appropriate resolutions were passed, speeches were made by ex-Judge Philips, S. L. Macomber and others, and the meeting decided to attend the funeral in a body. Judge Ingraham yesterday delivered his opinion on the application for an injunction restraining the Comptioller from paying $100,000 to the Metropoli- tan Police Commission. The Judge denied the motion. Mr. Devtin was brought by the Sheriff yesterday before Judge Ingraham, on a writ of habeas corpus issued by that official on the previous day, but ‘Mr. Pielé, Conover’s counsel, asked for an adjournment | of the case, pleading that he had not sufficient no- tice. The court, after some opposition from Dev- in’s counsel, postporfed the case till ten o'clock this | morning. Mr. Devlin was thereupon conveyed by the Sherifft» hisold quaarters in Eldridge street jail. On the 14th inst. application was made to Judge Ingraham for an order to Daniel 1). Conover to sbow cause why he should not be attached for con- tempt of court, in disobeying the injunction re | straining him from seizing the books and papers of the Street Commiesioner’s office. Judge Ingraham granted the order, and appointed to-morrow, the 294 ipst.,to hear the case. Mr. Field's motion to remore the injunction was to come off on the 24th, but at that gentleman's special request Judge Ingra- hem consented to hear it yesterday, after the habeas corpus in Mr. Deviin'’s case was postpone]. Mr. | O'Conor objected, claiming that the motion for an attachmect for contempt against Connover had pre- cedence, inasmuch as if the injunction was dis solved there might be some difficulty in proceeding with the case for contempt. This he did not allege as the main reason why the motion to remove should not precede the motion to show canse, but it was one goed reason among many. The Court decided that the motion to show cause should be heard first. It wan then agreed between counsel that one case should foliow the other without waiting for a de- cision in the first. Mr. Field asked for a recess of an hoar to prepare his affidavits which he had not | time to do before, asthe notice of the motion to | show cause was only served that morning. Bat at | the expiration of the hour he stated that he was not _ ready with his affidavite, and asked for an adjourn: | ment to this morning at 11 o'clock, which, not being | opposed by counsel on the other side, was granted, and the court adjourned. The counsel in the Street Commissioner's cases will have their hands full to-day. The habeas corpus comes on at ten o'clock, the contempt case at eleven, and the final disposition of the books, Xc., before Jndge Pea- body, at twelve. ‘The Central Park Commissioners met yesterday, but transacted no business of immediate impor tance. They meet again on Tuesday next. In the Court of Special Sessions yesterday Thomas Ryan was tried and convicted of engaging actively in the Seventh ward riot on the 4th inst. He will be sentenced on Saturday. Leonard Schiefflin, a Metropolitan officer, convicted of an outrageons assault mpon Martin Ames, got off with a very light sentence—thirty days in the city prison. Thomas MoOarry, « Sixth ward rioter, was sent to the peni- tentiary for s'x montha; but as soon aa the sentence was pronounced his counsel exercised the right of bringing the case before the General Sessions, and procared his admission to bail. ‘The Board of Almshouse Governors met yester- day. The concideration of the requisitions for sup- plies ocenpied a large portion of the seasion. The calls for brandy and other seasonable fluids seem to | some sailors of the New York bark Albertina and | NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 18657. be on the increase. After some discussion, and a great show of economy on the part of one or two members of the Board, the wardens of the different institutions were inatructed to be more particular hereafter in making out their estimates. The Go- vernors have now 6230 persons under their charge— a pretty large family to provide for and iook after. Captain Walling, Chief of the Metropolitan police squad stationed at Seguine’s Point, was yes'erday tried before Justice Fisher, at Tottenville, Staten Island, upon a charge of stealing/from $180 to $200, from the house of Mr. Abraham Latourette. It is alleged that the Captain while searching the house of Mr. Latourette, in order to arrest the latter, came acrogs the money, which was lying carelessly upon the top of a bureau, an transferred the rollof bills from the bureau to his pocket. The evidence taken in the case will be found elsewhere, as also the fact of the committal of the Captain in $500 bail to answer the charge at the next sitting of the Richmond coun- ty court. In the same column with the preliminary trial of Captain Walling, will be found e statement of the arrest yesterday of Mayor Hall, one of the Quarantine Commissioners, upon a charge of publish- ing a hbel against a prominent citizen of Staten Island. Archbishop Hughes publishes a letter in our columns this morning exposing the fabrications of the Daily Times relative to the Archbishop and his diocess. It excoriates the editor of that priat in no very gen‘le manner, and is peculiarly pungent, The Archbishop shows he has done all that he could dofor the Immaculate Conception. The people are raising in opposition to the acts of the late Legislature. Last evening meetings were held in the Sixteenth and Twentieth wards. They were attended by crowds of citizens anxious to ex- press their detestation of the obnoxious laws fas- tared upon them by the black republican spoils pol* ticians. We give a full report of the proceedings in to-day’s Heraiy. An indignation meeting was held in Hoboken last night for the purpose of protesting against a late vote of the City Council rejecting one of the Water Commissioners appointed by the Legislatare. This action of the Council seems to have creaied much excitement amongst the demooratic portion of the citizens of Hoboken, as evinced by the meeting last night, the proceedings of which we publish else- where. The inquest on John Miller has at last dragged its slow length to an end. The testimony is ail in, and the verdict, it is expected, will be rendered this morning at 10 o'clock. A full report of the con- cluding testimony, with the Coroner’s charge, will be found in our columns. The fifth annual commencement of the Free Academy came off last evening in the Acatemy of Music. The audience was numerous and highly respectable, and the exercises were very interesting. See our report. The Board of Excise Commissioners met yester- day, and granted eight storekeepers’ and forty-seven innkeepers’ licenses. The Board requests that citi. zens notify them of disorderly places where licenses should be refused. The Treasurer reported that he had, up the 18th inst., deposited $9,790 with the County Treasurer for licenses granted. An application has been made to the President of | the United States for the pardon of the Portuguese sailor, John Smith, convicted of the mutiny and murder of the captain and cook of the American brig Gen. Pierce; and the District Attorney has been officially directed to furnish the government with a report of the particulars of the case, as they appeared in evidence on trial. Our correspondents in Havana, writing on 15th inst., state that, notwithstanding the late anti-slave trade decree of General Concha—alteady published in the Hematp—several cargoes of Africans had been landed on the island. A company has been organized for laying a submarine telegraphic cable between Cuba and Key West. The sum required for the work, $800,000, was subscribed two hours after the books were opened. It was said that General Santa Anna would not visit Havana for | some months to come, if at all. Advices from Mexico stated that the government there was to pay to England $240,000 within four months, in lieu of the sum stolen from her Consul’s house at San Lais Potosi. The riotous affair which occurred between @ Spaniard, was investigated. Sagar was unchanged | in price. We have news from Buenos Ayres to the 30th of | May. Dr. D. Valentine Alsina, a popular progresse- | tist, had been elected Governor. The port was healthy. The bark W. H. Hazzard, from New York, had landed a cargo of timber at Gualeguaicha, an inland port of the Urnguay river. Commodore Forrest, commanding the United States Brazilian squadron, had been presented to the Governor at Court. The United States ship Falmouth had sailed from Buenos Ayres for Montevideo. Commodore | Forrest had hoisted his flag on the frigate St. Law- rence. The steamers Ascension and Yerba, owned by the American and Paraguay Navigation Com- | pany, had been sold, and passed under the flag of Buenos Ayres. It was thought the Salado river vides for baving « quorum, by admitting all con- testants who belong to its party; and as there are some dogen seate contested, of course each party, being nearly balanced, can by this plan secure a quorum. And so two constitutions will be framed for Mitmnerota, voted on by the people of the Territory, and, it may be, both finally pre- sented to Congress, Our correspondent gives us a pretty ehrewd and amusing suggestion asto the motive for these strange doings on the part of the Minnesotians. Everybody must wonder at the introduction of this new feature into political aeeemblies; but when the real eecret motive for this ecceutricity is understood, no one can fail to admire the Min- nesotiave for their Yankee ingenuity. It seems that this movement is nothing more nor lees than an artifice to attract public attention to that dis- tant Territory, and so to promote immigration and increase the price of town lots. Minnesota is jealous cf Kansas. The latter has monopo- lized all the sympathy and had all the attention of Eastern politicians and speculators. Minne- sota wants to make a bid for her share of sympa- thy and attention. She does so in this way, hoping by this new phase in the system of holding con- ventions to get a considerable share of sotoriety and a proportionate amount of immigiation. Not bad for Minnesota. What a pity that Utah is such a desert and such a distance off! for she would certainly carry the palm in the way of notoriety from both Kansas and Minnesota. Tac double convention dodge would be as nothing compared to the novelty of Mormonism and polygamy. Funny times, these. Look out for speculators in Minnesota corner lots! The Munielpal Struggle—Property Holders to the Rescue One of the most momentous ever pre- sented to a free people is that which the electors of this city and State will be called upon to de- cide at the next election. It ismo mere party equabble for place or power that is to engage ge attention—no ridiculous contest between shells and soft shells, and Know Nothings and abolitionists. All these minor differences and party distinctions have sunk into utter in- significance in face of that great question which now comes up for eolution—the question whether the citizens of the various cities, villages, towns and counties within the State are to enjoy for the future, as they have enjoyed for the past, the rights of local self-government, or whether an oligarchy at Albany is to control and direct our purely local affairs. That is the grand, over- navigation monopoly for ten years would be renewed to the Yerba. We have files from Georgetown, Demarara, to the 2d inst. A royal ordinance appropriates the sum of $25,000 for the purpose of promoting the immigra- tion of able-bodied lavorers from Madeira or the Ca- nary Isiands. Like all the other British West India colonies, Demarara is suffering severely from the want of a sufficient supply of hands for field cultiva- tion, and a recent debate which took place in the Legislature shows to what shifts the local executive and home government have been put in order to sup ply the void. It appears that large depots have been established in India, where coolies are bought up for a trifle, and shipped in such a hor. ried avd unfeeling manner for Georgetown, that a large per centage of the unforta- nates die before the end of che voyage. Others arrive in such asickly stite that they inhabit the hospitals for two years after landing. Owing, how. | ever, to the late successful filibuster raid in India, which ended in the anpexation of Burmah, the coolies are wanted nearer home, and thus this source of supply is about to be cut off from the West Indian planters. The agents of the French govern- ment also—whether from superior address or a larger bounty—beat those of England on her own territory and carry away her coolies by wholesale. In this emergency the Governor of Demarara recom- mends an extension of the Chinese coolie trade, and it is quite evident, from the tone of members and the suggestions of the local press, that the coast of Africa will be resorted to for laborers—bond or free—in the end. Tae sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 700 bales, in tranaitu, on private terms, and about 600 do, in store, at fall prices, The market closed frm. Flour was dull and males moderate, without change of moment in prices. Wheat war in demand, especially for prime qualities; wales of Milwa clab were made at $1 60881 51; Th. nois red at $1 51; new Southern good to prime white at $2 a $2 06; Tennessee red do. at $1 90, and Virginia (eoft) do, at $170.

Corwen Lor Srrcciatons 1x Minwesors.—Our correspondence from St. Paul, Minnesota, re- veals quite an interesting state of things there in reference to the convention called to frame a con- stitution for the new State. The democratic and black republican delegates being pretty nearly balanced in point of numbers, and each party fearing that the other might get the organization of the body, they have resorted to the unique plan of holding eeparate conventions. Bach pro- shadowing igeue of the day—an issue which, be it recollected, involves the very existence of our republican institutions, It isa very fortunate circumstance that this question presents itself at a time when the field of politics is unusually free from other exciting topics of discussion. There are no questions of na- tional policy now discussed before the country that might have the effect of distracting public opinion, or in any way turning it aside from this matter of municipal rights. The wise, firm and impartial adminis#tation of Mr. Buchanan has served to tone down party prejudices and ani- mosities; and now the politicians and presses of all parties chime in with the popular voice in giving their approbation and support to the courte of the general government. With the ex- ception of a few fanatics and fire-cating hum- bugs, Noith and South, the people of the United States are unapimous io their estimation of their chief mpgistrate, and it is by no means likely | that he will fail to justify that high estimate. ‘The country at large is happily free from politi- cal agitation on national questions of an exciting or distracting character, and we are confident that no unwise step on Mr. Buchanan’s part will disturb that repose which the nation enjoys. This absence of political agitation is highly favorable to us in our present struggle. The citizens of this metropolis, and of tae whole State, | are thus left free and unbiassed by outside ix sues and influences to form their judgments de- liberately on the great question submitted to them, and to declare their will in favor of or against municipal liberties. The question being left to their calm judgment and decision, we can hardly doubt what the result will be. Without municipal liberties, what are national liberties ? Not merely « mockery and a delusion, but an im- poesibility—for history teaches that the loss of municipal liberties has invariably been the pre- cursor to the enslavement of the nation. On the high and elevated ground of principle alone, if | actuated by no other motive, all good citizens ought to join in condemnation of the recent at- tempts of the Legislature to strike down our municipal independence. But other incentives to action are not wanting, Not merely are our municipal rights and franchises ignored and blot- ted out, but the material interests of the city are injuriously affected in consequence of the usurp- | ing acte of the last Legislature. Who can for a moment believe that, ina city given over to riot and anarchy, trade and commerce will not lan- guish and die? Who can for a moment doubt that where there is no adequate security for life and property, the number of residents and visi- ters will diminish, and the value of property de- preciate? And that there is now no such security 'n this city, we need but refer to the riots that have recently disgraced it. The demolition of pro- perty, and the attacks on peaceable citizens in the face of a police force, and the burglaries and murders that are daily staining our criminal re- cords—why, if the state of things that has been recently inaugurated in this metropolis be per mitted to continue for six months longer, its trade and business will be destroyed, and property within it will depreciate full fifty per cent. Therefore it is that not only are all good citi- zens called upon, for principle sake, to declare against the usurpatory acts of the last Legislature; but they are also called upon to do so by the stake which they severally and col- lectively hold in the prosperity and growth of this great city. Those who may be deaf to the one argument will hardly be deaf to the other. The Court of Appeals, from which relief from theee unconstitutional enactments was sought, has failed to grant relief, bat has referred us for it to the ballot box. If we fail to avai ourselves of that last grand spmedy, than we will have none but ourselves to blame for the political disgrace and material ruin of this great city. A movement to procure a repeal of these un constitutional ¢nactments has been set on foot, and already public meetings have been held in ‘some of the wards. But we do not see the right class of men bestirring themselves in the matter. Instead of mere spouting, office seeking, pot- house politicians and emall pettifogging lawyers conducting such & movement as this, we want to see it conducted and carried forward by the real practical business men and property owners of the city, with such a man as John Jacob Astor at their head. They owe it to themselves and to the elty which makes their wealth to come for- ward at this critigal time in her history and | speculation in Cuba. Under cover of a threat- prove their devotion to her. Let them throw the welght of their wealth, character and respec- tability into the movement, and the iesue will be no longer doubtful. We appeal to them to do so. ‘This is no paltry, contemptible struggle between Wood and anti-Wood factions—between soft thells and bard chells—between the democracy and the Know Nothings) We have had enough, and more than enough, of all this, The contest is between municipal liberties on the one hand, and centralization on the other. That is the grand issue—and we care not for the minor equabbles over the Street Commissionership and such like. On which side will those who repre- sent the wealth and commerce and property of New York range themselves? We trust and be- lieve that the universal answer will be, “on the side of municipal liberties.” If it beso, then salvation is at hand. Gen. Concha’s Recent Proclamation—The Prosperity of Cuba. Gen. Concha has luiely issued an important proclamation against the promoters and abettors of the African slave trade in Cuba, which con- tains two important points. These are, the offi- cial announcement that most of the new elave ‘expeditions are fitted out in foreign ports,” and that “slavery is the base and.foundation of the wealth and prosperity” of Cuba. These points merita few remarks. The first one is levelled at New York and Liverpool, for it is a weli known fact that nearly all the ves- sels for this trade are fitted oct in our port, and that quite, if not all, the goods for the purchase of the negroes on the coast of Africa are shipped directly from Liverpool. A combination of the Englich and American flags is requisite now for the safe prosecution of this illegal traffic. This combination, however, is not made by English and American citizens, but by LEuro- pean Spaniards and a few Portuguese who reside in Cuba. The native Ca- bams in Havana, and the several com- mercial firms established by them in this city will have nothing to do with it. The slave traders accordingly seek agents here and in England, who for a handsome per centage trans- act all the necessary business. So profitable is this trade that it is currently stated in our com- mercial circles that a young house, which started in this city two or three years since without capi- tal, dissolved this spring, and divided two hun- dred thousand dollars profits. Both in this coun- try and in England these agents contrive to keep within the law, and thus escape punishment. If General Concha, however, will rigidly scrutinize the circle immediately around him, he will find there the principal contrivers and capitalists of the traffic he proclaims against, and in thoze sub- ject to his authority the chiet abettors of the in- troduction of slaves into Cuba. The wealth and prosperity of Cuba, which Gencral Concha says is grounded on the institu- tion of slavery, is indeed a striking social phe- nomenon. And it is the more remarkable in its sudden growth from the fact that none of the Eu- ropean free communities has exhibited anything like the eame material progress. But it ig not to slavery alone that this prosperity and wealth are due. They arise in part from the great increase of the laboring population, caused by the slave trade, which has been carried on during Gen. Concha’s last administration to an extent never before known in that island, and the thousands of Chinese that have been brought from Asia, and worked in the cane fields on a parity with the slaves. Another element of them is the liberty that has recently been given in Cuba to industrial associations, under which Credits Mo- biliers, banking institutions and corporate com- panics have sprung up on all sides, creating a spirit of speculation and inflation that must ex- perience a reaction. These elements of wealth have proved very profitable to Gen. Concha him- self, for it is stated in well informed circles that he has sent home a million of dollars og his own Private account. Some parties believe he has | made this by conniving at the slave trade, but | his friends insist that he has realized itn su | ceseful stock speculations. While the past year has been very profitable to him, it has enabled him to reader a good ac- count of his stewardship to the mother coun- try. He remitted Inst year a surplus from the revenues of Cuba of four millions of dollars, and the present one promises to yield a still larger return. Here we have the secret of his tenure of power amid the changing revolutions In Madri@, and in opposition to the earnest efforts of the British government to have him removed. He has more than doubled the supply that comes from Cuba to the exhausted coffers of Spain, and the Ministry are loth to change him. Perhaps, too, in this fact may be | found a solution of the political enigmas that | have surrounded the Spanish-Mexican imbroglio. A war excitement haa been kept up in order to di- vert public attention in Europe and America from | this immense connivance at the profitable slave | trade, and the political fostering of a spirit of ened war, that might involve many nations thousands of negroes have been brought from | Africa and millions of dollars have been sent to Spain. This Mexican question cannot be kept open much longer, but it is still very doubtful if | Spain will consent to lose se profitable a Captain | General as Concha has been in Cuba. | ee | A Grand Coronation—Humbug Night at the Academy. While Europe is reposing from the splendid fa- tigues imposed by the coronation of the Czar, | and the haut monde is preparing for the still more august ceremonies which are to mark the corona- tion of the Emperor and Empress of the French by the hands of the Pope, we humble republicans have stepped into the gap, and broken the mono- tony of social existence with a coronation of our own. It is true that we have not crowned an Emperor, having no creature of the kind at our disposal; nor have we made any empty appeals to hereditary pride, or highsounding pedigrees. The object of our favor, however, though a mem- ber of no royal family, nor even the scion of a ducal or noble house, is yet a Queen—of song ; and the crown which was placed on her head on Monday evening, at the Academy of Music, she will wear with as much grace and more comfort than any of her sister Queens. The ceremony was as grand as the occasion was momentous. The Academy was full, from the footlights to the gallery; the price of admis- sion being remarkably low for a coronation, and upper and lower tendom being there in their best. “Norma’’ was the play; the firet act of it was over, and the audience-—who don’t understand a word of Italian, and generally fancy that the prima donna is Pollio’s mother—were drawing breath, and panting for the continuation of the performance when the curtain rose. There was no beat of drums or clang of ‘martial music; but the chorus, who were perspiring frightfully, etood in attitudes of graceful alandon around the stage. In the contre there was a blank epace, ' charged them full prico—tweaty dollars. The administra. ' guano; neither In virtue of thie, Hore, accomiing to immemorial usage, there should have suddenly appeared a knight armed cap-a-pie,on @ richly caparisoned horse, with lance in rest; who, throwing down his glove—of mail—should have called upon the people of Fifth avenue, Fourteenth etreet and the Bowery to step over the footlights and pick that glove up if they dared. In this particular precedent was neglected. No knight appeared; the Chevalier Fullef, however, holding not a lance but a mir- Yor, and a8 richly caparisoned as fashion will permit, stepped jauntily forward, leading the Queen to the footlighta, Behind him there walk- ed not a regiment of guards clad in coags of mail (bere again the managers deviated from historic precedent) but a young woman in a brief skirt, holding a pillow in her hand. Among that portiow of the audience which hailed from the reral districts the impression at this stage of the performance was that the Cheva- lier Fuller was a part of the play and that Pollio would presently appear and do for him. Sympa- thy was freely expressed for the ardent but youth- ful Chevalier, and some indignation was felt at the seemingly heartless behavior of Madame La Grange. Just at the moment, however, when the Chevalier was expected to account, in tenor strains, for his appearance there in that costume, he began, in a voice suspiciously twangy and slightly nasal, to level a prose speech at the head of the defenceless La Grange. She bore it well, uncommonly well.” She when the Chevalier Fuller told her she was “returning freighted to her native land ;” she sighed when he said the ovation was a reward for her “ su- perior character ;”’ ehe blushed at being told that ehe “had never disappointed the public in her ap- pearance ;” she gasped when the Chevalier, with the determination of a Mott or a Dupuytren, tld her he was going to fix off her head with a “lyric coronal.” Something in the expression of the Chevalier and the terror of the lady led the juvenile portion of the audience to fear that a “lyric coronal”? might be a sargical instrument. Screams were heard. The Chevalier looked sternly at the audience, and bursting into a flood of metaphor, he extemporized such figures as the “ firmament of bright eyes,” “showers of floral tributes,” “swelling hearts,” and fixing the “lyric coronal” on the lady’s head, bade her adieu, and dashed into a side scene, as well to hide his emotion as to prepare for the tidy little supper which he had with Madame La Grange at a later period of the evening. So ended our first coronation. On the whele, it was a success, and may become fashionable: As we are not, like the French or English, obliged to wait for a death to crown our Queens, we may have coronations as often as we like. We may recall Grisi, Alboni, Jenny Lind, Pa- rodi, Catherine Hayes, Sontag and all the other singers and have Colonel Faller fire off his speech at them and crown Nor is there any reason why singers monopolise the crowns. We may crown our artists, authors, editors, lawyers, merchants and politicians. We may crown Mr. Devlin and Mr. Conover for keeping the streets dirty while they are squab- bling; Mayor Wood, for his plack; Sim. Draper for resigning; and General Nye, for not doing #0 Strictly speaking there is no one who does not, in some way or other deserve a crown; and now that the Chevalier Fuller has got the way of doing the thing, we hope he may be kept busy.
