New York, Thursday, July 23, 1857. The News. The steamship Circassian, from Liverpool 11th ‘inst, arrived at St. Jobns, N. F., last evening. Her BSdvices are three days Jater than those previously received. At Liverpool cotton had advanced one- sixteenth of a penny, and the market exhibited an upward tendency. Flour nad declined sixpence, but corn had improved one shilling to one shilling and sixpence. Consols are quoted at 92} a 92) for movey. The British Ministry had asked for £100,000 sterling to defray the expenses of the Persian and China wars. The present duties on tea aud sugar are to be continued for two years. The only inte- resting item of Parliamentary news is the defeat of the Jewish Oaths bili in the House of Lords by thirty four msjority. There had been some distur- dances in Spsin, but the cause is not stated. We bave advices from Belize, Honduras, to the 30th of June. Our correspondent, writing on that dsy, draws @ very gloomy picture of the present condition and future prospecta of the colony. The “tracking season” had closed and the yield of ma- bogsny was unusvally short. The entire crop of wood jor the season would not amount to five mil- lion of feet, instead o! fifteen million, as calculated. In consequence of this the article had advanced very much, and the poorer sorts was worth $80 cash. Smallpox snd cholera morbus had carried off a great many people during the wet season, amongst | whom was the Scotch Presbyterian clergyman at Belize. Trade was duli and declining all over Honduras so rapidly that it was thought the colony would be valueless to England within ten years. Foreign trade with Belize was paralyzed. Coionel Kinney was still at Ruatan, buc his finances are represented as far from flourishing. He intended at first to go to Belize, but his vessel became leaky and out of repair, avd | as the Hondurian people would not permit him to iand at Truxillo, he was forced to go to Ruatan. In that town his vessel was condemned and sold. His presence startled the quiet folks of Ruatan for atime, but the latest reports represent him as very popular. ‘The new Anglo Hondurian treaty did not work well. In Belize the merchants looked on the proposed | railroad from Cortez (Porto Cabello) to the Pacific | as ameasure which would in the end ruin their local trade. The English bark a. M., which strand- ed on the island of Cozamel, had been plundered by Mexican pirates. Breadstuffs were plenty in the | Belize market, but pork, beef, lard and butter were | acarce and very high. Hides and sarsaparilla were | exceedingly dear. the last named article having | ‘been all bought up by one speculator. | We have advices from Rio Janeiro to the 19th ult. Six thousand five hundred bags of coffee were | forwarded to New York on that day. The market for coffee was more active, prices ruling from five milreas to 5/200 ries per aroba. A good deal of ex citement and sympathy was arroused on behalf of slave woman named Matilda, who, having had | achild born to her master, was sold, with her off- spring, by her seducer to another. By this man she ‘was treated so cruelly that when crossing the bay of Rio lately on one of the ferry boats, she threw her | child into the water and then jumped afterit. A sailor eaved both. Matilda was tried and acquitted, | when her advocate paid the sum of $950 andj gave her her freedom. | By the arrival at this port of the brig Isaac Car- | ver, Captain Partridge, we have news from Lagana, | Mexico, to the 25th ult. The health of the place | ‘was very good at the above date—no sickuess what- | | | ever in the vicinity of Laguna. The vomito had made its appearance at Vera Cruz acd Campeachy. On the night of the 10th ult. there occurred a sort of revolution. ft seems the chief movers in the affair were Custom House officers, who sought to dep xe the present Governor, Nicholas Doranta and establish in his stead one Pedro Requena, bu they were not successful. The collector, the captain of the port, and several others implicated in the affair, were arrested and confined, and would be rent to Vera Cruz, Three Mexican war vessels, built in New York, were’ condemped and sold at public auction. The annual meeting of the Associate Alamai of the Pree Academy was held last evening. The only matter of interest that transpired was the adoption | of a resolution esteblishing a fund for ass or stadenta who are desirous of availing themselves of the benefits of the Academy. The names of the officers for the ensuing year are—Jas. Steers, Presi- dent; S. J. G. Jolliffe, Secretary; Jas. R. Brant, | Smith Bloomfeld, Francis D. Moulton, Wm. Cruik- | shank, Samuel B. House, A. A. Alvord, Russell Sturges, Hugh McFarland, Executive Committee. The hearing in the matter of the habeas corpus in the case of Abraham Latourette was had yesterday at Richmond County Court House before Judge Metcalf. The Judge reserved his decision | as to his right to discharge the prisoner or hold him to bail, and directed that be should meantime be held in the custody of the Sheriff | A meeting of the demooratic organization of the | Fifteenth ward was held last evening, at Convention Hall, Wooster street, the stated object of which was | ‘to give a opportunity to those who had not enrolled their names as members of so doing. The atteo | dance was small, probably owing to the limited pub. | licity given to the subject, and the fact that the | president of the organization was prevented by il! ness from being present; and after some quivbling | aa to the formality of transacting the business of the | association in his absence, the meeting was adjourned | until Tuesday next. The large spoke manufa:tory belonging to David | Coleman, and the machine shops owned by Samuel | Howard, at Milton, Ulster county, were totally des | troyed by fire on Tuesday last. The loss is esti- | mated at between six and seven thousand dollars, partially covered by insurance. The Commissioners of Emigration met yesterday but transacted no important business. The emigra tion to this port up to 15th inst. was 107,297, beiag an increase, as compared with the figuees of last | year, of 38,715. The General Jackson Gold Box Committee met again yesterday, when a long discussion as to the merits of the contestants for the prize took piace ‘We give a fall report elsewhere. The committee will probably make their report on the first Monday in Angast next. The Board of Supervisors met yesterday. From a communication sent in by th Comptroller it ap- pears that the sum to be raised by tax for the year 1967 is $7,715,766 52. A long debate ensued upon 8 plan for re-organizing the Tax Commissioners’ de partment. The rooms now occupied by the tax ani aaserement officers are appropriated for the use of of the Commissioners, bat the questions as to the salaries of the Deputies and Surveyor, with the nomber of clerks and their salaries, were referred to the Committee ov Annual Taxes. NEW YORK MEKALU, THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1867. ing first provoked the peaceable Gersan | portere of Fremont against the insidious move- ware, on the 20th inst., and did some damage to the roofs of dwellings, barns, &¢., and uprooted trees. It lasted about fifteen minutes, and during its pre- valence two echooners: that were in the rondstead dragged their anchors, and would have been blown ashore had it continuéd five minutes longer. A despatch was received at Washington yester- doy from Kansas, stating that a collision between the United States troops and tbe free States men at Lawrence was regarded as inevitable. The condi- tion of affairs in the Territory occupies the attention of the President and Cabinet, to the exclasion of less important business. A special messenger was yesterday despatched with instructions to Gov. Walker and Gen. Harney. Tbey have authority to Maintain public order and the supremacy of the laws, at every hazard and sacrifice. ‘The present position of affairs in the Metropolitan Police Commission is very interesting. The va- cancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Draper has not yet been filled. Mayors Wood and Powell took their seats at the Board yesterday, for the first time. The account of the proceedings of the Com- mission yesterday, which we publish elsewhere in our columns, will aggest the possibility of a remarka- ble change in the administration of the Police De- partment before many days have passed away. The Street Commissioners case progresses slowly in the courts. The chamber of the Court of Com- mon Pleas was crowded yesterday with in- terested spectators of the proceedings in the matter of the habeas corpus; but after the reading of an answer to the retarn, show- ing that the imprisonment of Mr. Devlin is unlawful, the case was postponed till this morn’ ing at ten o'clock. The motion to show cause why Mr. Conover should not be punished for contempt was taken up yesterday before Judge Ingraham, of the Common Pleas, Aflidavits were of- fered on both sides; but the statements given by the different parties were so conflicting that the subject was referred to a referee, to take evidence this morning at eleven o'clock. The whole session of the court yesterday was occupied with this question of reference, and some sharp passages of words occurred between counsel. The affidavits are curious examples of how the eame facts can be differently viewed by parties whose in- terests conflict. The question as to the final dispo- sition of the books and papers of the Street Com- missioners office was yesterday postponed till Saturday next. We give full reports ot the pro- ceedings with reference to these matters in this | morning’s paper. Two verdicts were rendered yesterday by the Co- roner’s jury in the case of the Seventeenth ward riot —one is signed by four jurors, and the other by the remaining three. The majority verdict finds that the German, John Miller, came to his death by a pistol shot fired by one of the policemen, name unknown; while the minority finds that he died from the effects of a gunshot wound inflicted by eome unknown per- son. The majority also find that the police commit ted acts of criminal violence, and the minority charge them with being somowhat nasty in the exe cuticn of their duties, Nine liquor dealers were brought before Justice Wood yesterday, charged with violating the Sunday law. One of them denied the charge; but the Jus tice himself bad witnessed the offence, and therefore imposed the full penalty, The remaining cases were laid over till next week. The Excise Commissioners officially inspected every place in the Five Points yesterday where liquor is sold, with the view of ascertaining if any dealers in that locality were worthy of being licensed. The Commissioners, after a thorough inspection, came to the conclusion not to license a single house in that region. The Board of Health met yesterday. An applica- tion for leave to bring the bark Oaklander to the upper Quarantine was refused. The Health Officer laid before the Board blank forms of the bonds re- quired of stevedores and lightermen, in order to in- | sure a more rigid compliance with the Quarantine regulations. This action on the part of the Health Officer is regarded as very judicious, as heretofore the ordinary legal penalties have not deterred the stevedores and lightermen from breaking the laws, thereby greatly endangering the public health. The steamship Arabia sailed from this port yes- | terday for Liverpool, with one hundred passengers and nearly a million and a half in specie. The Queen of the South also sailed yesterday for South- ampton and Bremen. She took out one hundred and thirty-four passengers. The receipts of beef cattle during the past week amounted to 2,653 head, against 3,344 for the pre. vious week. Some 500 head remaining over from last week were put on the market, bringing the sup- ply up to fully 3,000 head. At several of the mar- kets yesterday prices declined }c. to lc. per pound, while st others previous rates were maintained. The market, however, was regarded as a dull one. | Prices ranged trom 9¢ to 11jc. per pound, according | to quality. Cowsand calves were dull at reduced rates, With heavy receipts, the demand for veal calves was moderate, at a decline of \c. per pound; the rates ranged from Se. for ordinary to 7o. for very best quality. The receipts of sheep and lambs were large, and the demand inactive. The best sheep brought $4 to $6, and lambs about the same price. The cotton market was quite firm 5 esterday, and sales embraced about 1,200 bales, based epon middling to etraight middling uplands, at 160. 8 151¢¢., and middling New Orleans, which wat scarce, at 150 #1629. The de creare of receipts at all the ports, compared with last year, now amounts to 669,000 baler, which, deducted from 8,527,000, the total supply of last year, leaves 2,668,000 The exports to Great Britain this year, cempared with last, show « Cecrense of 518,000 bales; to France 77,000 bales. and to otber foreign ports 100,000 bales. Total decrease, ‘his ycar, or since Ist of September last, compared with that of the previous year, amoants to 90,000 bales The | total exports to foreign countries bave been 2,192,000 beler, ajainat 2,888,000 last year Flour clored dull for mon grades, with moderate sales et about the previous © prices, Wheat wat dull for common qualities of while there was ome increase in the mppiy of new from the South.

Coffee wae firm and quiet. Freights were crcherced, wbile engagements were moderate ctton is Kansas.—We published in Insun | yesterday's Herarn the proclamation issued on | the 15th instant by Governor Walker, of Kansas, to the people of the city of Lawrence, on the subject of the insurrectionary movement inaugu- rated by them. Our telegraphic despatches, also published yesterday, announced the fact that the Governor had entered the city of Lawrence on the 17th with a force of eight companies of dragoons, and that he was determined to enforce the Territorial laws and put down all rebellious proceedings, It was added that the people of Lawrence were determined to pay no atteation to the Governor, and would not negotiate with him. Nevertheless, we do not entertain the belief that they will resist the arguments addressed to them in the proclamation, or that they will attempt to carry out their ineurtectionary plan, in epite of the troops which the Governor has at command. Tf, however, rash and ‘iclous men like Lane | should induce the people of Lawrence to persist n their course, the consequences would be de- plorable, #* « cocfict between the citizens and the miltary ‘here would renew the flames of civil war and watter them throughout the whole Territory. ‘The cause of the present excitement is simply A tornado from the north visited Lewes, Dela- this:—The people of Lawronce have assumed to frame a city charter for themselves, repudiating or ignoring that grauted by the Territorial Legis- lature la-t winter. They do not recogoise that Legislature at all, but hold thatthe sham State ae established by the Topeka Conven- jon isthe real legitimate government of the Territory. They eubmitted their charter to this Topeka government, but failed to receive even ite sanction for ‘t; 60 that, viewed in the most fa- vorable light, their action in voting upon it, and proceeding to elect officers under it, is utterly ir- regular and revolutionary, Governor Walker called their attention to this, and showed them in the clearest poesible manner the confusion aud litigation that would arise if they were allowed to goon and consummate their folly. But at the same time be assured them that they coald not carry their rebellious purposes into effect without coming into unavoidable and open conflict with the troops and government of the United States, We are gratified to observe that the Governor in his proclamation has steered perfectly clear of the question of slavery or no slavery in the nea State. With that he has nothing whatever to do, Hie duty is to see that the laws of the Territory sre enforced, and to that simple duty he very properly confines himself. The insurrectionists of Lawrence must be considerably stomached at this contemptuous dieregard of their favorite hobby. They know that it is only by raising the banner of abolitionism and making that the issue that they can expect support or sympathy in their ridiculous proceedings. Mr. Walker seoms to be as well aware of that fact az themeclyes, and is determined to deprive them of any such advantage. He has therefore made the issue himself. It is not between pro-tlavery on the one bard aud anti-slavery on the other—it is between | the goverment of the United States on the one hand and a set ef crazy revolutionary favatics | on the other. For thus placing the question be fore the people of Lawrence and of the country the Governor decerves all commendation. ‘The Police Commisstoners—Important Turn of Affairs. We are gratified to perceive that an article published in the Heraup a few days since, calling upon the Mayor of this city to follow the precedent set by the Mayor of Brooklyn, by taking his seat on the new Police Commission, has had the desired effect. Mr. Wood has recog- nized the force of the reasoning employed in that article, and took bis seat yesterday as Police Commissioner. In this he acted wisely, and with due regard to the interests of the city. Repug- nant to our feelings as citizens, and violative of our chartered rights as is the Metropolitan Police act, still it is part of the law of the land, and until wiped out of the statute book by the next Legislature, must be acknowledged and obeyed assuch. Whatever police protection this metro- polis and its suburban cities are to be favored with for another year, at least, can only emanate from that act; and therefore it is the part of sen- sible men to take the law as it stands, and make the most of it. That isa common sense view of the matter, and it is gratifying to see that it is the view of it which has been taken by the May- ors of this city and Brooklyn. The fect of these officials having taken their seats as Police Commissioners, coupled with the fact of Mr. Simeon Draper’s resignation of that office, has produced quite a novel and unlooked for turn in the affairs of the Board. The com- mission coneiets at present of six members—three of them being black republicans; two—Messrs. Wood and Powell—democrats; and one—Mr. Cholwell—American. The question as to who shall be the successor of Mr. Draper is the first of any importance to be decided by the Board. The democratic and American members are anxious and determined, so far as they are con- cerned, to have the vacancy filled by a practical, efficient, able and responsible man, independent of party connections. The three republican members, on the other hand, desire to elect a partizan Commissicner, without reference to his fitness for the office, Of course it is clear that if the two sides into which the Board is thus divided adhere resolutely to their respective preferences, they may continue to play at the game of elec- tion during the whole term for which the incum- bent would have had to serve. | From present appearances that contingency | seems by no means improbable. The Board met | yesterday morning; and a resolution being offer- | ed to change the bour of meeting from 10 A. M, | to 2 P. M. to accommodate the two Mayors, the | vote was a tic. Three voted affirmatively, and | three nega‘ively: and so the resolution, not hav- | ing received a majority vote, was lost. Now, when such an impracticable, obstinate spirit was manifested on so slight an occasion as that, it is but fair to preeume that upon a measure of any importance, or where there is any principle in- volved—as, for instance, the election of Mr. Draper's successor—the votes will be divided in the same way. Neither party will be willing to vote for a man whose election would give the other party a majority in the Board. | The democratic and American members, taught | by the partisan spirit which the Police Commis- sioners have hitherto manifested in their measures and appointments, will not readily concur in the election of a fourth black republican member; and it is equally improbable that the black re- publicans will throw the game out of their own bands by concarring in the election of a member who might give his vote to sustain liberal and efiicient and proper measures. Thus there is a very fair prospect of the game being kept up in- definitely, and never comiog to an end. The election of a euccessor to Mr. Draper is not, however, so important as the organization of an efficient police system in this city. But even that so much-to be-desired object cannot be at- tained if the same obstinate, uncompromising spirit continue to be manifested by each of the two parties in the Board. If they pursue the system of thwarting each other—of voting each against the propsitions of the other—then of course the beauties of the Police act will be exbibited in a new light. Then all action under it will become im- possible, and our present disorganized condition | will prove to have been perfection itself in con- | trast with the thorough confusion and anarchy and disorganization that we will witness by and bye. Mand yet the community in that event will hold the democratic and American members of the board abeolved from blame in the matter. The black republicans, when they had the whole businers in their own hands, made such a con- temptible fizzle of it, and exposed the city to euch terrible dangers from the riots that they provoked, that no one will give them credit for a particle of bonesty or ability; and of course the other Commissioners will be held perfectly justified in refusing their sanction to black re- pnblican measures. The riot in the Seventeenth werd shows what a precious police system this part'zan board would have established in the city. There the police under Capt. Hartt hay- citizens of the neighborhood on Sanday even- {ng by brutally clubbing men, women and children, and causing the death of one innocent man, stood by like cowards and poltroons, and saw with indifference the excited mob attack and demotish a factory for no other reason’ than be- cause two Metropolitan policemen had taken re- fuge within it, In reference to that riot, and to the conduct of the police on the occasion, the ver- dicte of the Coroner's jury are pretty conclusive. Tiere were two verdicts rendered by the jury empannelled to investigate the cause of death of Miller, the German who was shot in the riot. That of the majority is, that Miller came to his death at the hands of one of the Metropolitan pelice, and that the police acted under great ex- citement and committed acts of criminal violence. ‘The verdict of the minority is, that Miller came to bie death at the hands of some person un- known, and that the police were somewhat has'y in the execution of their duties, In both verdicts the conduct of the police is censured. Ard yet, that disgraceful affair of the Seven- teenth ward was but a mere indication of the dis- order and anarchy into which this metropolis was being plunged, and from which there would have been no escape had the organization of the police system been completed by the Board as origivally constituted. But fortunately Mr. Draper became disgusted with the incompetency of his associates, and resigned ; and the Mayors of New York and Brooklyn coming in at that favorable juucture to take their seats as ex-officio Commicsioners, the black republican poison is in a fair way of being neutralized. We hope that one or two more of the republicans will follow Mr. Draper’s example, aud make way for more competent and cflicient men. If not, we expect that the democratic and American members will stand their ground firmly, and not yield an inch to the partivan movements of their associates. What we want is an efficient police, and not a set ot’ imbecile party pensioners. Colonel Fremont for 1860—What 1s the Pros- pect? The republican members of the New Hamp- shire Legislature, at the close of the late session of that body, “at a full convention’ held in Fremont Hall, Concord, passed the following resolution “unanimously” and “by acclama- tion,” and “ratified it by vehement applause,” to wit :-— Resolved, That we nominate John C. Fremont as cand!- date for the Presidency of the United States n 1800, upon the platform 0 principles adopted by the Republican vention ai Pailade)phia in 1866, and upon the resolutions of the pri Legislature, in relation to the decision of the United States Supreme Court, in the caze of Dred Scott, gubject to the decision of a Republican National Coavention. Now, as far as Col. Fremont is concerned, these New Hampshire republicans have unques- tionably bit upon the available man. No other man in the United States, as a Presidential can- didate, possesses a higher degree of personal popularity than Col. Fremont. His run in 1856, in fact, disclosed a popularity superior to that of Gen. Jackson in his first race for the Presidency in 1824, and far superior to that of Gen Harrison in his firet trial in 1836. From the tremendous majorities given in all the Northern States for Fremont—where he stood upon anything like a distinct opposition issue with the democratic party—we are free to admit that, but for the out- side Fillmore ticket, and the treachery of the Seward managers, Mr. Buchanan would have been defeated. It is evident, too, that the splendid ran of Fremont in the last election, with the dead weight of both Sew- ard and Fillmore upon his back, affords a pretty strong presumption of his triumphant success in 1860, provided, always, that he is brought for- ward upon the broad constitatioual and conser- vative principles of which the body of his sup- porters in 1856 believed him to be the reliable representative. But what isthe platform upon which the re- publican majority of the New Hampshire Logis- lature have nominated him? It is the Philadel- phia republican platform ot 1856, of which the only practical issue was hostility to poor Pierce's outrageous and scandalous border ruffian pro- slavery policy in Kansas; for the Philadelphia declaration against Mormon polygamy wis en- tirely loet sight of in the canvass. It follows, then, that should Kansas, in the interval to 1860, be admitted into the Union as a free State, through the fair and honest application of the Kaneas-Nebraska law by Mr. Buchanan, nothing will be left ot the republican Philadelphia plat. form of 1856 to stand upon; and that Kansas, before the year 1860, will come into the Union as a free State, according to the law of “popular sovereignty,” fairly administered, we have no longer any reason to doubt. Thus the repub- lican Philadelphia platform of 1856, for all prao- tical purposes, will become as useless for 1860 as the Fillmore Philadelphia platform. But this New Hampshire resolution covers a larger surface than the republican Philadelphia platform of 1856. It adopts the resolutions of the late New Hampshire Legislature agaiust the Dred Scott decision, as embodying the proper principles upon which to place Fremont before the people in 1860. And here we detect a de- liberate effort to anticipate the masses of F're.* mont’s supporters, and to place him in a false position before the country. A party candidate, nominated upon nullification principles of hostiii- ty to this late Dred Scott decision of the Su- preme Court, can be nothing more than the can- didate of a sectional nigger agitating party of the pure Seward stripe. But this will not do. The conservative constitutional supporters of Fremont desire to place him in a position in 1860 fo just and fair that it will secure to him not only the right, bat the privilege, of running in the South, and the guarantee of the heavy popu- Jar vote in that section, which has been reserved for him since 1856. The republican members of the New Hamp. shire Legislature, in the foregoing brief resolu. tion, have perpetrated a budget of blunders. In the outset they would have us believe that it is to the Philadelphia republican convention and its platform that Fremont is indebted for his tremendous popular vote last November. No euch thing. When thie Philadelphia conven- tion met, such was the popular movement for Fremont that the convention dared not take the field against it. The Seward leaders and managers of the convention therefore made a virtue of ne- coesity in accepting the candidate already adopt- ed by the masses of the people outside of the democratic and Fillmore camps. Mr. Seward was the man desired by his agents at Philadel- phia; bat they gave way to the popular pressure, just as the Clay men in 1848 gave way to the pressure for General Taylor, because it was un- derstood that old Zack would be run, nomination or no nomisation at Philadelphia Bat theee New Hampshire politicians leave a loophole of escape in agreeing that their plat- form and candidate shall be subject to the deci- sion of a Republican National Convention. And here is still an opening for the conservative sup- ments of the Seward black republicana, All their present schemes are directed to the organi- zation of an unadulterated sectional Seward nigger worshippers’ party; and to this end the late high handed proceedings of our New York Legislature, and the more recent procee@ings of the New Hampshire and one or two other North- ern Legislatures, look like a very successful be- ginning. But there is yet an interval of threg’ years to the campaign of 1860; and within this period, parties, principles and platforms, as they now etand, will unquestionably undergo some very curious and comprehensive changes, In the meantime, however, let the conservative Union and peace-loving friends of Colonel Fre- mont beware of the movements of these Seward black republicans, This New Hampshire resolu- tion, for example, with Fremont at the top, strikes us as having W. H. Seward covered up at the bottom of it. We have plenty of time before us, Nothing definite can be undertaken now. We must await the events of the next three years But still it wil! be well, ia the meantime, for all the patri- otic and disinterested supporters of Fremont to keep a sharp eye upon the stealthy movements of the pipe layers of W. H. Seward. Tux SLepax Hammer or Axcusisnor Hucues. —We published yesterday a pretty letter from Archbishop Hughes, in which that eminent prelate with a dexterous use of facta utterly destroyed and demolished the editor of the New York Daily Times, the Hon. ex-Lieutenant Governor H.. J. Ray- mond. The venerable Archbishop, though a man of undoubted piety, and mature age, has not yet overcome those pugnacious instincts which under- lie the strength of his character. He enjoys a good fight as weil as any layman; there are very few persons of avy prominence in this commu- nity who have not at some time or other broken a lance with his Grace. We are inclined to think that after the exhibition of yesterday, Mr. Ray- mond at all events will beware of provoking a fresh exercise of the archiepiscopal sledge ham- mer. The case at issue between them lies in a small compares. It appears that in January last, the Daily Times contained some article reflecting on the Archbishop, which that dignitary thougbt it worth while to notice. A “gentleman called on Mr. Raymond” for the author's name. Mr. Raymond replied that he muet go to Washing- ton (these were the days when the Iuvesti- gating Committee was expelling the correspon- dent of the Times), and would attend to it when be returned. On his return, he was remiad- ed ot his promise. He waited five wecks, then wrote to the Archbishop to say that he had sent him a letter a long time ago, explaining the whole matter, and that said letter had been slip- ped under the door of No. 268 Mulberry street. He also explained that a snow storm prevailed at the time which might have confused the boy and led to his mistaking the door. Having thus slipped out of the difficulty, Mr. Raymond re- venged himeelf it seems on the Archbishop by various sly digs; finally consummating the quar- rel by allowing certain ecclesiastical rivals of the Archbishop to use his paper for the gratification of their private malice. On the strength of these facts, the Archbishop reviews Mr. Raymond in a manner which may be commended to controversialists. The moral of the tale is given in an anecdote. It seems that in the days when the Archbishop thought well of Mr. Raymond, he was expressing a favorable opinion of him to an acquaintance. That gentle- man exclaimed :— Sir, you do not know Mr. Raymond. He {s plausible in friendship, he t¢ pisusibie in treachery; he bas mach animal cunning, but he waa born without tne instincts of a gentleman; aud neither bis education nor his opportonitics of sesociating with gentiowmen have beea able to supply the innate and original defictensy. The Archbishop implies that a further ac- quaintance with Mr. Raymond leads him to confirm this opinion. We have no judgment to pass on this quarrel further than to remark that as it stands, it is a pretty fight, and the Archbishop has the best of it. Some ten or twelve years ago, we had the mis- fortune to full under the displeasure of the Arch- bishop, and were assailed by him with no small amount of zeal and fury. We believe that his Grace believed at the time that he had extin- guished us. Happily, a sound constitution and an easy conscience enabled us to survive the in- fliction, and at the time we pursued the even tenor of our way according to our own ideas, and regardices of archbishops or any one clase. Apparently amazed at such incredible vitality aod obstinacy on our part, bis Grace called upon us, to eee if we were really alive still, and actu- ally conducting our business ia spite of archiepis- copal castigation. We confess that we were mollified by the compliment. But we were not overcome altogether till his Grace employed as an ambareador to treat with us a very charming lady to whose smiles we could refuse nothing, and who conquered us at the very first inter- view. From that date we confess that we have been very good friends with his Grace, and have fally forgiven him for whatever mischief he may have tried to do us. Now, it seems, our cotemporary, Mr. Ray- mond, is having his turn. It is said he is not in the city; if this be so, it is fortunate, for the blow will be epent when it reaches him: other- wise we fear the “little villain” might have died under it.
