The charge cf insuderdinaticn was pre erred ———. Dy the General Superintendent. He ‘was tried; charge was proven, and be was dismissed from the department. (On the lich of May, Captain Car- penter, of the Filth precinct, com she insuber- dination of three members of the force under his com- maad. They wore tried, found guilty of arge and suspended from pay for a limited period o! , in order that they mlignt Dave an opporiui of reconsidering their d to withdraw from force. in view of the confident assertion of prominent opponents of the law that the courts would declare it upconstitucional, and of tha perplexed condition of the members of the force— who, deing called upon by the Mayor to vote at their ata- tion houses whether they recognized the aew Board, aad thos forced to decide whether they would cbey the law of the State or adhere to aa organization which, though by law abolished, was os to exercise atl the powers of which it had been deprived—tho Commissioners refrained from promulga ing any de- cisive orders until the conetitutionality ef the law had Deen® judicially determined. On the 4th of May Justice Clerke, of the Supreme Court, at a special term, affirmed the constitutionalisy of the act; and or the 25th of May it Was decided ate general term of that court that the law was valid and binding in all its parte. It was not till the second of June that either of the captaive, nor til) the 9th of June that any of the patroimen wero cismiased, It will the seen that the Commissioners abstained from exercising the duties imposed on them until further hesi- tancy would have decn construed into distrust of their own powers, and they would have been chargeavle wita piring to defeat a inw which they had sworn to exe- cute, snd which was deemed by a large portion of the citizens of grave importancs to the walfare and security of the I'ves and property of the inhabitants of this aadthe — counties. hether jast or apjust, it does not beceme the commit tee to decide—there was a very general distrust of the efficiency and the integrity of the cid ‘orce; it was be: lieved to be demoralized, and corrupted by the infusion into tof bad mon; it wae Delieved that large cumbers Bad Deen appoiated where only claims to be the custo- diane of the peace were their efficient abors at eo ections, and ibat personal integrity no looger formed a necessary fication. Ths presence of this belief pervaded every ol) our citizens, and the Commissioners would have been guilty of criminal deretiotion if, after a coart of com- potent juriadiction bad decided the law to be ralid, they ad forborne to perform the duties which bad devolved ation and syrepathy felt for the of the old police, as to which or- ion they ought to obe7, any longer have force. The apprehension of dismissal dy tha siunicipal acthori- ties, 'f the law was pronounced unconstitutional, might deter the Lumid from obeying the orders of tho Commis- sioners; Dut alter the decision of the Supreme Court such apprehensions were grourdiesa, for whatever might hare Deen tha final determiratioa of ‘the Court of Appeals, the recogultion of We Metropolitan Cemmusioners could not have constituted a lawful cause of removai. Tho decision of the Supreme Court nvested the law with all the sa- chor'ty and forea that jt could derive from any judicial tribunal, and !t thenceforth Decame of Runding étticacy on every citizen whom it aifested. The course ad: by the Commissioners in respect to the government of the force, was marked by deliceration. ‘Their first act was Yo direct that daly returns of the captains should be made to the General Super: dent. Only six complied with the order, aad they, it Is Delieved, made duplicate retarns to the late Chief of Polic>, whose office had been abolished by law. Irregular ard improper as such an act was, che Commussionors refrained ‘rom noticing it, preZerring jfor the over:ook the viola- tion of a rule iv comsideratia of dation azd alarm of those who were disposed to ovey law. The re- mainder cf the -ommaading ofilcers either mate no reply Fa cee eepeee jasive answers :2 the General endemt she 2d of June four, and cn the 4th of June eight of the captsins were formally dienissed for insubordicat.on; on the latter three others were found guilty, but judgment war suspended until the 1éth of June, when they were likewise dismissed. The next atep of *he Commissioners was to detail creet adticers to repair to the sevoral station houses: notify the patrolmen to do duty according to the orders of the General Superintendent. Of the force consisting of a)ou' 1,200 men, 350 obeyed the orders, and the remain- der refared to hold office under the 4 of Pole. Theso facts Deing reported to the Board, charges preferred again»t them, they were tried efter due nowce of trial Deing served on bem, sworn witnesses testified to the fact of Botice ae See ee and they adjudged as dismissed fromthe departmen:. In many cases, bowever, after the charge had been made acd the Dotios of trial had Deen served the men reported for duty and the charges were withdrawn. The question has arisen whether the men were logaily dismissed. Tt is held, first, that they were not amenad| to ria! and disrameal; and secondly, Famonablo, thoy wor filegaily d.emiseed, inasmuch as it 18 denied thas they ro- ceived notices of trial and were therefore Jeprived of the of being heard in their defence. ‘ p mtd og first objection, it i all power of disminaal is confided to the Board only | to such persons as may have been appointed vy ‘1. Section 6 of che act, after enumerating the number of persons who may be appoinied, declares that — The said officers hereby created for the sald pp:ice force shall be severally filled by ointment from ‘the Board of Poles, ia the mule presoribed by this act and each parson «> appointed sball bold office only during such time as he sball ay nogrve and execute all the laws and regulations of It i insisted that ae the members of the Municipal police were not appointed by the Board of Commissioners, Dut were incorporated Into the Metropolitan force by the act, they are exempt from the panishmen: of dismissal incident to the tennre by which persone sppointed hold the'r commissions. If this be the proper construction of the law, it is fatally defective. In the riots of the 16th and 17th of Jane thore members of the old force who refused to obe7 the orders of the Commissioners were assem>ied to resist the Metropolitan poll: Violence was used; blood was shed in their attemp: to overpower the police while ‘n the lawful discharge of ft duties. If the con- struction sought to be estadliehed .s correct, there is tho strange specteclo of two elligerent antagonistic forces anler the same command, one which is exbjett + heav7 penalties for the slightest ‘afrngement of a the other secure io perfect immunity thoug> guilty of groeeent putrege But it ia Sel.eved there is no such defect in the law.

On the 2d day of June the ordinance which parsed the Cormon Council of New York, and was approved by the Mayor, varied efit, eatablinbing and ao hone ‘voustethag of 1,238 men. By = ae this ordinance the officers of the Municipal police, as existing under laws passed previous to 1867, were made officers of the wateb; the station houses, the ap. paratus, and all other property belonging to the Corpora- tion veed for police purposes, were for tho use of the said day and night 3; aD approprintion was mi for ite payment; and all and re- movals office, it was provided, should bo made by the Mayor. " Under ‘his new organization, which, pects, was essentially different from of the extinct Municipal. police, the members of the latter arrayed themselves, and from that date there were two distinct and antagonistic bodies of lige in the ety of Now York, At tho head of ono was the Mayor; the other was governed by the Beard of Po'lco. The one was called tae City Watch, the other the itan lice, The Mupicipal police no longer had an existence ip dame or in jaw; its members, with the exce} the yption of sick or the adgent, had been absorbed by the two rival organizations. On the 3d of July, the Mayor, as the head of the City Watch, disbanded thegorganization, the mem- ders aesenting thereto by surrendering their insignia of ope Pa tases he in ‘ug the applica- 1% duties would permit, vostigat: e tions of the old police po sppointment.

Mr Pir objected to toe clanse about demoralization of the old police. He though? 't was expressing too strong an opinion. He thought the inference would be irom acopting the report tha: the Board made those charges, which he considered very serious charges against a voly large body of men, He thought it might easily be quali- 1 After some dedate the report was accepted, with an un- derstaadipg toat the objectionable part should he so alter- . as co app'y only to t. owerthy members of the old force.

Mr. SrRawatiaN presented similar recommendations in the cases at Brooklyn policemen, which were adopted, as follows — Oticer Beatty, pay ded five days and repri- mandes; Daniel Darvin an Edgar Boyd, charge dismissed apd reprimanded.

Mayor Tiemann evinced the liveliest interest in all the cases of trials. As to one case, where the keeper of a dwolling house ha’ complained ‘against a police captain, he said that ft was hie opinion ‘every one of these houses in which any disturbance occurred should be shut up instanter and forever. One of the accused was by oy with jmterforing Ny because on election day he bad given a man a “ Temann’’ ticket when asked for it, and said it was al) “right.” Amid gene 4 ter the Board vote! the ol frivolous, and Mayor Tie. mann made the sage remark, ‘hat that policeman was evidently ‘ sound on the goose question."” Brooklyn City News. DAMAGE FOR BRRACT OF MARRIAGE PROWAR.—AN action ‘was some time eince brought in the Brooklyn City Court against John A. Saul, for damages ar-<ing out of a breach of marriage promies.

It is inno wise the fault of the manager, who has labored smecssactly night and day to fulfil his engagements both with the public and the artists. He is now compelled to temporarily suspend by the stupidity of @ few chorus singers, whose places will be quickly supplied. The next performance will Be given on Friday of this week. It is to ba hoped that We shall have another opportunity of hearing Mme. ce Labbe It ia one of the most charming performances of ic opera that has ever been given anywhere. ‘The performance of the Meemah by the New York Harmonic Sociéty would, it was expected, beve attracted @ large audience to the Brooklyn Atheneum on Saturday evening, but the pigus affinities of the “ City #f Churches” dt not come up to the mark on this occasion. One would have aupposed that an event like this, 20 interesting to pro- feasing ssints, and attractive evem to sioners, would have resisted the influences of bad weather end Saturday nights arrangements; but the fact thatthe performers out numbered the audience must stand recoripd-to the cor/u- gion of those who insist upon the pre-eminent godliness of the Brocki;nites. Notwithstanding tho discouragement arising from ‘such an array of empty berches, the mom- ‘bers of the Society exerted themselves to the utzormost. ‘The performances wore admirable for their perfection of ensemble, and the rocitatives ard airs sung by Madame D’Angri, Madame Caradori, Herr Formes, and Mr. Perring, were given with al) the spirit and precision which uscaliy characterize the performances of those artists.” Tho principal feature of the evening was the air “Why do the Nations,” by Horr Formes. It was given with a force of vocalization ani an earnestness of expression that produced quite @ repture of applause amongst the audience. Next to this splendid effort, Ma- dame D’ An, execution of “He was Despised,” was most to be admired. Written for a contralto, it seemed to have found its most perfect medium of expression through this lady’s voice. Wo never heard anythiog more exquisitely rendered, and its effect on the audienee was electrical. The quartote “Sinco by Maa camo Death,” was also splendidly given by Mosdames Garadori and D’Angri, Herr Formes and Mr. Perring. Tho ficent chorus of the “Hallelujah”? recetved its fil effect from the combined strength of the Society. In one or two paseages @ slight lack of unity was observable; but cost- dering the large number of voices engaged in it, and the extremely difficult character of the music, this was not to be wondered at. Altogether, the performances’of the evening may be classed amongst the most brilliant and succesaful ever given by the Society. We desire to call the particular attention of our Brook- lyn readers to the promenade concert which is announced to be given atthe Athen#mum, on Thureday of this week, in aid of the following charitable institutions:—Fomale Em- ploymont Society, Industrial Schoo! Association, Graham Old Ladies’ Home, Protestant Orphan Asylum, Cburch Charity Foundation, Children’s Aid Society. The entire proceeds of the concert will be douated as above, the ex- penses being defrayed by individual contribution. The music, which is admirably selected, will be performed by Noll’s National Guard Band, and its to be hoped that the putilic will be as gonerously inclined as the subscribers who have gotten up the afair, Afver the opera, thegoncert of Mme. de Bienville, on Thursday, was the most interesting musical event of tho week. This pianiste is a most charming, agreeable and correct artiste, and every lady amateur should hear her play. ‘ For this week, Mr. Robert Goldbeck announces a con- cert at Niblo’s Saloon, on Saturday, the proceeds of which will be given to the Children’s Aid Society. Tae Gorman Liederkranz, an admirable chorus; Miss &. 1. Williams; Molionbauer, violin; Kietzer and Bergnor, violoncellos; and Guilmette, the popular baritone, will assist. On Tuesday week Mme.

People who desire to hear the best interpretation of Shakspere’s plays that can be had now-adays, will take notice that Mrs. Frances Anne Kemble commences to day a new course of her popular readings at Dodworth’s Saloon. Apropos to the Kembles, the Lonaon Athenaum (Dec. 19,) bas the ivilow ing notice of the début of Mine Kemble (niece, we believe, of the lady now here). Miss Kemble sang the seprano part in ‘ The Messiah.’’ The critic says:— The new Miss Kemble is apparently not the least gifted of ber race.

With the exception of the production of Taylor’a coine- dy, ‘An Unequal Match,” which was moderately success- ful, at Laura Keene's, the theatrical news of last weekhas no interest. The business was pretty fair for all the houses. Mrs. Hoey had her benofitat Wallack's, and played Annie Blake to a very good house, Mrs. Hoey played the heroine very well, but the plece is not particu- larly brilliant. For to-night the bills will be found inter- esting, if not expecially novel. The Ravel Family are winding up a very long and suo- cersful eeason at Niblo’s Garden.

W Davenport play the principal parts. At Wallack’s theatre ‘The Poor of New York" will be performed this evening for the thirtieth time. The repre. sentation this evening is for the benefit of Mr. A. H. Du venport, an artist who deserves weil of the public. At the Broadway theatre the Van Amburgh troupe com- mence this evening the fifth week of their successful career. Various novelties appear in the programme, among which is the first appearance here of Mr. G. W. Ser- geant, one of the best eynestelans in the country. At Lanra Keene's theatre My. Taylor's comedy, ‘An Unequal Match,” enters upon its second wook this even- ing, and the pantomime still keeps its -place in the bile. Tt is worth more than the price of admission to see Miss Keene's admirable performance of Hester Grarebrook. At the Museum ‘Valentine and Orron’’ ie announced for every night this week, its last.

The Cunard steamship Africa, Captain Shannon, which left Liverpool at haif-past two o'clock on the afternoon of Saturday, 26th of December, arrived at this port at half-past nine o'clock yesterday morn- ing. The tfews is three days later than that brought by the Atlantic, and is interestin; Sir Colin Campbell had 2 the garrison of Lucknow, India, after some severe fichting with the rebel army, daring which he himself was slight ly wounded, and lost a number of officers and men. ‘The mutineers were routed in other engagements, and the English garrisons and outposts were all con- sidered secure, No failures of consequence had taken place in England since the Atlantic sailed The money crisia was still severe at Stockholm, The tailures amounted to over thirty in that city. The bullion in the Bank of Fngland had increased £1,300,000. The Bank of Prussia had reduced its rate of dis count to six and @ half per cent. There was a better feeling under the redaction of the rates by the Bank of England, but the mar- kets were heavy and the Christmas holidays iater- fered with trade for two days. At a banquet given by the Mayor of Liverpool to the Siamese Awlmssadors, Mr. Beverly Tucker, tha Unit: d States Consul in that town, waa one of the speakers. He congratulated the assembly on tho glorious news from India, and trusted that the tri- umph of Englieh arms would be complete, because it was the triumph of civilization. He said he had no doubt whatever that there was an immense trade to be developed with Siam, and he felt assured that the “star-spangled baauer” would, like the flag of Great Britain, dip in the water to the vessels of Siam ap- proaching the great republic of America. It was said that the Fnglish and French govern- ments were trying to settle the difficulty betweem Spain and America with regard to the frigate Fer- rolana. The ship Wallace, boand from Quebec for Glasgow, was lost at sea. The crew remained on the water* logged ship for eleven days, with nothing but the Body of 4 dog to subsist upon. Three of them died.

Boyd, on the 24th of December, as she was on the eve of leaving the Mersey for New York. The crew armed themselves with handspikes, knives, &c., threatened the officers, and refused to proceed to sea, on the ground that the ship's provisiona were bad. Infor- mation of the state of affairs having been conveyed on shore, police officers proceeded to the vessel and arrested twenty-seven of the men without opposition. An examination was to take place the day the Africa sailed.

In Naples details were published of the effects of the late earthquake. The first accounts prove, aa usual, to have been exaggerated, bat nevertheless a nomber of buildings in varios places were destroyed and many lives host. Full particulars had not reached Naples at the latest dates, nor had any commanica- tion been received from Sicily, as the telegraph had been destroyed by the earthquake. Tt was said thatthe Neapolitan tariff would be modified soon. The epidemic at Lisbon continued to decline. The question about the Russian ports in the Black Sea, which was on the point of being settled, la somewhat complicated by the fact of the Russian government having re-established military servitude on the coast of the Crimea, razed the town of Kameiech, and forbidden the entrance to that port of merchant ships, as before the war. Tt appeara that Madame Georve Sand addressed a letter through one of the French imperial family to the Empress Engenie, describing in the most affect- ing terms the depiorable condition to which tho,sus- pension of the journal La Presse bas reduced tho families of the workmen to whom it gave employ- ment. The letter gave a mort todtbing description of the state of these unfortunate persons, in whose favor the Empress was asked to intercede. If that intercession was ventured it toes not appear to have succeeded. The offence of the Presse was most heinous; it presumed to talk about freedom of speech, liberty, and such other old world fancies, and will very likely be compelled to pay the penalty to the utmost.
