Branch, asking to be paid for his disbursements during the aa to the nativity of Mr. Matsell, late Chief of Po- lice. A report in favor of establishing a fire tele- graph in the City Hall was adopted. An ordinance was submitted authorizing the issue of $100,000 Central Park stock. It will be discussed on Monday next. Matters respecting irspectars and canvassers of the ensuing election were then disposed of, and the places for holding the polls fixed upon. Tn the Board of Councilmen last evening ® num- ber of polling places for the ensuing election were fixed. A petition of the Delaware Telegraph Com- peny, asking permission to erect poles in this city, to connect New York with the coal mines, was re- ferred to the Committee on Streets. The report of the Committee on the Fire Depaitment, confirming decisions of the Fire Commissioners, was adopted. The Committee on Streets were discharged from the future consideration of a resolution to widen Hous. ton street. The report of the Finance Committes in favor ef paying the old Central Park police, was referred to the Committee of the Whole. The re- port of the special committee on awarding contracts for the permanent cleaning cf the streets was adopted by a vote of 48 to 3. Ten contractors agree to each give $1,000 security annually to clean the streets for $345,000 a year. Broadway will be cleaned every morning, and the other streets once a week. The ordinance reorganizing the City Inspec tor’sa Department, in conformity with the new char- ter, was discussed at great length, and after being materially amended, it was adopted. City Judge Russell presided yesterday in the Court of Sessions, in consequence of the illuess of the Recorder. The case of Michael Carroll, charged with receiving stolen goods, which was commenced on Wednesday, was accordingly postponed till Fri- day. A number of prisoners were arraigned for plea, among whom was George E. Parmelee, who on being arrested confessed to having purloined $30,000 worth ofsatins from the store of Diblee & Co., 4 Warren street; he pleaded not guilty, and his trial ‘was set down for Thursday, but itis not probable that be will be tried before November. Charles Price, a youth, was convicted of stealing a gold watch worth $100, on the 25th June, from Thos. McClelland, while passing out of the Academy of Music. Judge Russell, in passing seatence, said that Price was a great thief, and that his family bad a very bad reputation. State prison three years and t¢ months. Andrew Love was convicted of burglar} in the third degree. He broke into the stable of Mr. Fitzpatrick, on the Ist of Angust, and stole a robe. State prison two years and ten months. Patrick McCaffrey, jointly indicted with William Manley, who was convicted of a bold larceny on Menday, was honorably acquitted, the prosecution abandoning the case. The effects of the “ crisis’: are visible in the criminal courts. Hundreds of the unemployed, old and young, mechanics and clerks, spend the day in listening to the trials of prisoners. The Police Commissioners are preparing, in book form, for the convenient use of each policeman, a full copy of all the rules and regulations of the de. partment.

The News. ‘The financial burricane bas exhausted itself, and the reaction has commenced. It was very percepti ble in Wall strect yesterday. Stocks advanced, and the banks are in buoyant spirits. Flour also ad wanced-in fact everything ison therise. There has not as yet appeared any authentic announce- ment from the Governor upon the application of the bauks for an extra seseion of the Legislature. It is pretty well understood, however, that he will not comply with the request of the bankers, as it is comsidered that the action of the Sn- preme Court Judges supersedes the necessity of any legislative intervention. There is con- piderable discussion as to the consequences of the | suspension to the banks. It is stated by an Albany paper that, by a provision of the bank law, referred to and recognized in the bonds and mortgages de- posited in the Banking Department as securities for the redemption of bills, such mortgages become due | when the bank refuses to pay specie for ite notes. | fix millions of dollars secured by bond and mort- gage in the Bank Department became due and col- | lectable yesterday. Suppose the bills of the suspend- ed banks are sent to the Department under protest, | and these six millions of bonds and mortgages—for | which the Superintendent can receive only specie are offered for sale, Low far would the proceeds, in | the present state of affairs, go towards redeeming the | notes ? | The panic is rapidly extending throughout the South. At New Orleans yesterday there was a run | on the free banks, and several of them were obliged Perbaps it may account for the many complaints of the inefficiency of the Metropolitan police. In the Supreme Court yesterday counsel for Mrs. Cunnigham filed a petition appealing from the deci- sion of the Surrogate in the Burdell estate case. The Parish wili case, in which thousands of pages of testimony have been taken and millions of p-o- perty are contested, will come up for final argument before the Surrogate a week from next Monday. ‘The cotton market wes quict yesier‘ay,and owing to | Southern advices prices were unreitied and nominel Ficur again a4vanced from 150 «200 per Darrel, and in fcme cases as much es 260. per barrel, wits iccroased sales, Wheat was alec firmer, and closed at an advance | of about Zo. to fo per bushel, with miore doteg for export Corn was also higher, and sold ton fair oxten: at 699. a 100. for Western mixed.

A new Congrees will aseomble in the Capitol at | | Washington on the first Monday In December, and the public necessities reeulting from the wide spread financial revulsion will inaugurate a now epoch in the political issues and legislative measures of the general government. The tor- nado, of which the gathering elements had been perceptible for come time all round the financial horizon, bas suddenly burst upon us with all its fury, end ercdits, exchanges, commerce, manu- | factures, speculations and labor and its accus- tomed rewards are all levelled to the ground. our State Senate be has furnished very satisfactory evidence of his learning, readiness, skill and ability in debate. Asa parliamentary speaker, he belongs to the Palmeretonian school, and as euch he may, if he will, establish a solid reputation under the one hour rule of Congress, Joba Kelly, from the Fourth district, is not » man of much coliege learning, but he is a man ofa prac- tical mind, and his experience in the practical af- faire of life, and bis knowledge of the practical intercsts of this city, may be made eminently valuable to his constituents, Wm. B, Muclay, of the Fifth, is an old campaigner, and his past ser- vices in Congress afford us a pretty good assu- tance of his future usefulness, John Cochrane, of the Sixth, ie a man of superior education, of high abilities as a Jawyer and political debater, and, if we mistake not, is destined to rise to an enviable position in the discussion of the great Congres- Sional issues of the next two yeare, Elijah Ward aud Horace F. Clark, of the Seventh and Eighth districts, are promising law;ere, but have yet to prove the ring of their metal as legislators. We are asswed, however, that each will render a good account of himself with the first oppor- tunity, Thus it appears that our city delegation to Congress is chiefly composed of young men and new men on that arena; but men of marked ca- pscities and ambitious of political distiaction. To gain this distinction they must now turn their attention and their studies to the causes aad the consequences of this financial crisis, and to its remedice; and they will be especially required to irform themselves of all the details of the fiasn- cial and commercial speculating and stochjobbing Operations of this city for several years past, as affording the key to the whole of these late infla- { ticns, end the preeent collapse, from tue Canadian to the Mexican fioutier. Let out city delegation thus be posted up for Congress, and then, with the reading of ihe President's Message, they will be competent to hold the position they will be called upon to take on all the great questions afficting our financia! and commercial affairs. Congress alone can relieve the country from its present embarrassments, and these embarrass- ments will not admit of the hair-aplitting dis- tinctions of State rights abstractionists. We have had quite enough of State rights abstrac- tions and claehing State financial regulations, The States have their limitations as woll az the federal goverpmest, and the latter bus its supreme powers of authority as well as the States. The constitution declares that “Congrees shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, excises, to borrow money, to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States; to coin money, to regulate the value thereof, to establish uniform laws on the subject of banktuptcies, &c , and to make all laws which ehall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers.” Here is a margin of authority sufficient for all the practical purposes of a uniform commercial and financial system throughout the Union under the laws of Congress. The framers of the con- stitution clearly intended that in reference to the finances and currency, the United States should be a unit, and that Congress should be the great regulator. And here we come to a clause of the constitution which, though universally disre- garded, is still part of the supreme law of the land. We refer to article first, section ten, which is as follows:— Beo. 10. No State sball enter into any trenty, alliance or confederation; grant !etters of marquo and repriea!: coin mover; emit ‘dlls of credit; make saything but gold and silver coin s tender in payment of debia, &o. Now, we say that had this clause of the consti- tution relating to ills of credit been adhered to, | the revulsion of 1837 would never have hap- pened, and the revulsion of 1857 would never ‘have happened, nor anything of the kind. State banks, State bonds, State scrips, in evcry shape and form, bave been the fruitfal sources of these pericdical panics and revulsions, so carefully guarded against by the fathers of the constitu- | tion. For forty years we have been wrangling, | North and South, and eplitting the Union into | fragments, upon the constitutional iseugs of negro tlavery ; bat through all this period we have | teen, North and South, openly violating this con- stitution in matters of finance and currency ; and hence the terrible evils that have followed. | With the coming Congress we shall be com- | pelled to take a new departure; and from the | hints we have thrown out, our city delegation, | and all the members of both houses, will appre- | ciate the necessity of prepariag for the heavy | practical work of thie new epoch ia our political | history.

The Powers of Christendom in both hemfepheres, will suffer as from the finan- cial presturo of a general war, in the midst of the profoundest peace and an unexampled mate- rial prosperity. In view of this dreadful crash of our commer- cial and ncial superstruciures from one end of the Urion to the other, the meeting of Con- gress December will form one of the moat conspicuous Jandmarks in our political history | since the adoption of the federal constitution | To this new Congress the country will look for | relief; and the ways and means of relief will in- «xorably monopolize the debates of both houses | for months, and perhaps for years to come. The work, too, of reconstructing from their fornda- ticns, the credits, the commercial regulations, the financial exchanges and currency of the coun- try, will require a thorough examination of this and all our past financial inflations and revul- tions, and of their causes and their consequences Theve comprehensive researches will include all our past experience of the working of national bavke, foreign wars, high tariff, low tariffs, pet bar entices. And again, too, the battles of the last fifty years will have to be fought over, upon the powers of Congrees, the rights of the States, and the limitations of the constitution. With this heavy echedale of solid work devolr- ing upon Congress, the inquiry is naturally eug+ gested what is the calibre of the mon elected to the new Houve of Repreeentatives? Considering he commanding position of this metropolis, espe- cially in the financial and commercial affairs of the country, how will the great interests of this clty be represented at Washington?—for nover ‘The Board of Supervisors met yesterday.

The bill for fitting up the Tax Commissioners’ office was ordered to be prid, as was also the Sheriffs quarterly bill, amounting to $2,763. The Coroners’ bill, for $5,564, was referred.

The exigencies of this revulsion would tax the utmost resources of even an Alexander Hamilton; aud yet the practi- cal necessities of the day may be brought within the range of almost any mind of a practical and inquiring cast, Taking our city districts in their State numeri- cal order, we begin with the Third, whioh is repre. inplasters, bankrupt lawe, and eub-trea- | | fase the disastrous consequences to every quar- | brought to our notice the rates which Uncle Sam pays for advertising his businces offatrs.

In order to chow how not only our businces men, but even | our New York chambermalds, understand busi- | ness better than Uncle Sam, we have only to compare the patronage the government and the chambermaids each offer to us, We have made a calculation what a long advertioment, which we have lately been tendered would yield us at | the fixed government price of forty cents a folio for the first insertion and twenty cents for each subsequent one, and we find that we should pocket just $119 60; while for the same space and time occupied by our liberal patrons, the chambermaids and other advertisers, we receive Under these circumstances we are com: led to decline doing any business for Uncle Sem, and would recommend him, if he wishes to | keep up with the times, to take a lesson from our New York servant girls in the art of adver- | tising.

Awret Barak Dows or tam Nracer Wor- smvrens.—This financial revulsion is making awful work of the nigger worehippors. In P eylvania they have been reduced to a mere Pm tion, and even in Obio, where they deemed them- selves invincible, they are probably defeated. At this rate, against our November elections the Seward oligarchy will be ewept out of power, from Coney Island to Dunkirk. The republican party has had its day ; the Know Nothings have had their day ; the old democracy have had their day,and » great political revolution and recon- struction of parties is before us. Let the demo- cracy, meantime, eet to work, and carry the State of New York. The absolute destruction of black republicanism is the first part of the programme @rs to increase the number of policemen allowed by | sented by Daniel E, Sickles. He is a young man, | of the new revolation, Court. Everybody, we preeume, except a few vindic- tive merchants, wae well pleased to hear that the Judges had decided tbat a euspension of epecie payments bya bank involved no euch thing as insolvency, and that so long as the banks be- haved themselves co as to deserve a continuance of the esteem by the Supreme Court bench, they might pay their creditors in country money, city bills, shinplasters or specie, asthey choas. Every- body, we eay was pleased at this cutting of the gordian knot; for what good would it have done us, in the long run, to have broken up all these non-specie paying banks, to bave had receivers sppointed, and the concerns forced into liquida- tion under the present pressure? Evidently none; and it was a thoughtful and a considerate thing of their honors to meet over the breakfast table and settle that matter in the quiet imperial way they did. ° Of course when we come to look into the de- cision legally there are points which mu+t in the throats of cld fashioned lawyera. Lot us pass over the convenience of the applications for injunctions, which enabled the question to be brought before the court justin the very nick of time: feigned issues have long been a com- mon resort, when it was desired to take the sense of a court cr any law point. Let us come at once to the gist of the decision, which is that no injunction need be granted, and no receiver appointed to a bauk which is solvent, though it may have suspended specie payments : and therefore (the Judges assuming that our city banks are solvent) that no injunction can be grented or receiver appoint8d to them. This strikes us 9s wonderful Jaw and wonderful prac- tice. How do the Judges know that our banks aregolvent? What evidence have they of the fact, when no evidence was taken in the case? How can they presume to decide how much of the banks’ bills receivable will prove worth any- thing at maturity? As to the dictum of law which is sought to be derived from the judgment fn the case of the North American Trust and Banking Compavy, namely, that a bank may be solvent without paying specie, we hold that to be very bad law, or at least, very inapplicable to the present cage. The principle on which all banks are established and endowed with especial privileges and immunities is that they shall be greut reservoirs of epeoft for the pablic use ; and on the express condition that they shall, when re- quired £0 to do, give such epecie in exchange for their-paper or other claims on them, they are allowed to do—what is denied to the public—to circulate as money their promises to pay. When & bank ceases to be able to pay specie, it ceases at common law to be a bank; and can only bs saved from instant destruction by specdy rescue at the hands of the Legislature. This we take to be the law. Their honors of the Supreme Court view it otherwize; by some ingenious process of refinement they draw a dis- tinction between epecie insolvency and paper in- tolvency, and decide that so far as this city is concerned the suspension of specie payments by the banks will not make the least legal difference to their business. We can only congratulate the banks on their good fortune in finding Judges not only ready to interpret the law 60 manifestly to their advantage, but willing to come forward in the nick of time, and publish their decision, in the ehape of a decree, ordinance or imperial man- date, and as a warning to ill-conditioned fellows not to preeume to molest the banke. Snch decisione are happily rare—quite as rare as the emergency which called them forth, Should we be so unfortunate as to be avsailed by famine this winter, and should the mob gut the store of a flour merchant, the merchants and bankers would perbaps be taken aback by a merited sentence of a majority of the Judges, in next day’s papers, declaring that guch acts did not properly fall within the purview of the criminal code, and that a distinction must be drawn between robbery for gastronomical and robbery for lucrative purposes. We question whether the Judges would go further out of their way to do more violence to the law in that case than they have in this, It is however perhaps all for the best. Tur Prize Rine Reviven—We find in one of the journals of “unco righteous” Boston an extended account of a prize fight which took place at Point Albino, Canada, on Saturday last, One of the combatants—Lazarus by name—was only nincteen years of age; the other—one Hor- tigan—was twenty-reven. Hach weighed one hundred and twelve pougds. The eelect party, which included the gladiators, their seconds, with all the thieves, gamblers, bruisers and scum of Buffalo, left that olty by steamboat on the morning of Saturday, at eight o'clock. Both of the combatants were traincd at Buffalo, and the matter was as public as any proper exhibition. It docs not appear that the police on either side of the line attempted to stop the brutal affair The report is a curious specimen of the lite- rature of modern Athens, and is # langha- bie attempt at an imitation of the slang terms which so delight the Londoners in Bell's Lif At three o'clock P.M. we are informed the boy Lezarus “shied his tile’ into the ring, and directly after Horrigan followed suit. There- after, during three hours and fifteen minutes, these fellows stood up and beat each other for the delectation of the thieves and gamblers afore- eaid, as well as the crown of victory and five handred dollars. There were one hundred and thirty-eight rounds, pretty nearly all alike. We read that they “got well home” on each other's “peepers,” gave “nasty ones” on the “ogle,” “smellers,” “nasal organs,”’ “physogs,”’ “kissing traps,” which are flash’synonyms for eyes, nose and mouth. When they fall they “go to grass.” When one is struck in the abdomen he has “one straight in the fodder basket.’ When one is un- pleasantly followed up he is “bored in,” which is quite an expressive term. Blood is “raby fiaid,’ and the blow which drew it a “nose ender.” After battering each other for fifty-eight rounds, we are told that the boy Lazarus was “fresh as a daisy.” (What atimile!) The other was beaten to a jelly, and one hand was disabled; still the bloody work went on. Each banged away at the other's head, eyes and face, and one receivg) a severe cut in the face. In the nineteenth round the boy got the man across the ropes, bent his head under his (the boy’s arms) and there pummelied him, for which pleasing exhibition he was rewarded with “cheers.” It is quite remarkable that this man, with his head beatea to jelly, his left eye closed entirely, “his right to follow euit,” and one arm powerless, should, in the one hundred and first round have “come up very weak.” But #0 it was; he then received some severe cuts on his countenapoe, and “went down very weak.” Some of the more decent of the spectators now cried out “ take him away;”’ and others, says the modern Athenian, “left the field in disgust.” Singular! The wa, however, beld on with the tenacity dog, courting up at the one hundred and thirteenth round @ttirely blind, but “taking his gruel,” i. ¢, receiving the boy’s blows in his face “like 9 man.” This shoo k- ing work was permitted until night closed the ecene, Horrigan etanding up to be knocked down, and refusing to give up the fight, which was ad- journed till a future day. The Athenian report- er tells us that the principals had a friendly glass of beer together after it was over; that it was “one of the fineat fights on record;” that one thousand pereons were on the ground, and that there was “no disturbance.” It isa new view of things toeay that a prize fight is no “disturb- ance.”” We have but few comments to offer upon this disgraceful occurrence. It was abeastly, brutal and disgusting exhibition, and it is to be hoped that the authorities of Buffalo and of Canada will act in concert to bring the perpetrators of it to justice, and thereby prevent its repetition. We believed’ that our police was as inefficient as any in’the world, but they have certainly prevented several prize fights, and it seems the bruisers have now retreated to Baffulo, where they are Tionised by the fresh water sailors of the lakes, and mildly tolerated by the authoti- ties, who would do well once ina while to look at the Revired Statutes, We presume, however they will be apathetic until some one is killed’ and then we shall have the usual display of energy when it is no longer useful. As ‘or the Boston paper giving three columns of fine type to the report, it is quite natural. The people in that city have been fed on nasty stuff so long that when the home market fails they send nearly five hundred miles for it, and devour it with the greatest gusto. Extra Session or tHe Leaisi.aTere.—It was reported yesterday that Gov. King had sum. moned the Legislature to mect at Albany next | 5, Thursday, to take counsel on the straits to which the State is reduced by the gencral suspension of specie payments. The statement turned out to be incorrect; but if true, what can the Legisla- ture do? That it is poesible for the majority of the Le- gislature to pess absurd laws for the rclief of their party leaders who have been swamped by the present revulsion, we do not intend to deny; but we think that, in the present exasperated state of the public feeling, any effort to bleed the treasury for private purposes would be met with overwhelming disapprobation. And as to the banks, the Judges have so thoroughly done what was to be done in reference to them that really there is nothing left for the Legislature to do. No new banking law is needed. Were a new law paseed, no doubt the Supreme Court Judges would manage to read it co as to meet the emer- gencics of the times; and with such a prospect, what is the good of alaw? Ourcity and country bank notes will supply us with a currency; we want nothing more—or at least nothing that the Legislature can give us. An extrasession promises to be uselees, trouble- some, and absurd, Toe Crisis at Tun Taearres.—The financial panic, which came close to killing the Opera, obliging the allics to fall back upon concert skir- mishes in the open country, has begun to tell upon the theatres, Two—Laura Keene’s and Wallack’s—which have expensive companies, and rely chiefly on regular business, have been obliged to economise by reducing the salaries of their employs. A emall theatre—the Olympic— will close this week. Miss Cushman draws the largest houres at Burton’s; and the Broadway and Niblo’s are likewise doing well with balle: and pantomime, which, in better times, however, would coin money fer the managers. The strangers are leaving the city, and residents are paring down their expenses in anticipation of a hard winter. So all placgs of public amusement must suffer, and they may see worse times than now before the season is over. THE LATEST NEWS.
