At a meeting of the Brooklyn Common Council last evening a communication was received from Mayor Powell vetoing the ordinance abolishing the | Voluntary fire department and eatablishing one on the paid system in its stead. The Mayor's action | Was based mainly upon the ground that the Common | Council had no power by law to abolish the depait- ment. The statement in some of the morning journals, that @ warrant was issued for the arrest of Juige Ras- sell, and that papers impeaching his official conduct have been sent to the Governor at Albany, is a fabrication. No action whatever has been taken in regard to the complaint made by Mr. Darcie. The complaint against Dean & Salter, publishers of the Golden Prize, who were arrested on a war- rant issued by the Mayor and sent to the City Judge for a preliminary examination, was dismissed yesterday, the Judge being of the opiuion that they had committed no offence by offering a gift to induce parties to subscribe for their paper. In the Court of General Sessions yesterday Mary Bpillen, an cld shoplifter, was convicted of petit lar- ceny, having stolen a piece of silk from Hugh Kelly. She was sent to the penitentiary forsix months. Ma- thew Obman was convicted of bigamy in marrying Elizabeth Miller while his first wife was alive. The defence made an unsuccessful attempt to prove that he wasan idiot. Judge Russell sentenced him to two years imprisonment in the State prison. Harris Solo- mon wasacquittedof a charge of assault and battery, preferred by Nicholas Fink. Chas. White and Wm. Saunders, jointly indicted with a man named Blumen- thal, were convicted of burglary in the third degree. having broken into the store of Louis Cuneo, Canal street, on the 13th of April,and stealing a large quantity of boots and shoes, which were found in their possession. Saunders, being an old offender, and known to the police as a desperate burglar, was agnt to the State prison for five years. White was sent to the penitentiary for two years, it being his first offence. The Grana Jury presented a batch of indictments for burglary and robbery, to which the prisoners pleaded not guilty,and were remanded for trial. The case of the people against Thomas N. Carr, charged with libelling the Counsel to the Cor- poration, was set down for to-morrow. The cotton market was irregular yesterday, while the sales footed up about 1,000 bales, on the basis of about 123gc. a 125¢¢. for middling uplands, while no straight Ines of middling uplands were to be hed under the latter figure. Flour exhibited no signs of improvement, while wales were fair, including some lots for export. The mar- ket closed at about yesterday’s quotations. Wheat was also heavy and irregular, with moderate sales at prices given in another place. Corn was ecarcer and firmer for good soumd qualities in shipping order.

Mr. Lewis Tappan main- tained that the tract printed last year by the Society, and which the meeting had resolved to distribute throughout the South, was a most pernicious docu- ment, and be considered that Providence bad ar- rested its circulation among the slave owners. The meeting adjourned till this morning, without coming to any definite arrangement as to the course they will pursue at the meeting of the Society on Wednes- ~ next. a Jetails of the European advices received by the Vanderbilt are published in our paper this morning. | The limited statistics relative to the effects of the late financial crisi#, both in England and the north of Barope, given in the London journals, convey failure of the principal exchange bankers be- | tween this apd the West.

Admiral Carden, of the royal navy, who commanded the [aglish ship Macedonia when she was fought and taken by the American frigate United States, died in Ireland lately. A Trench war vessel, having on board « captain of hydrograpbers, had run up the English | gard to foreign exchange at New Orleans at the j Channel to the great alarm of the people of Wales, from whom her captain wished to purchase some coal. The English Channel fleet was being organized. We have advices from Antigua to the 12th of April. The Solicitor General, speaking of the late negro riots in the city, in the House of Assembly on the 8th altimo, said:—* This outbreak was not the birth of a momentary dissatisfaction or disappoint- ment, but of well organized, premeditated disobe dience to constituted authority; that there existed for a long period a feeling of resentment on the part of the worthless and disaffected portion of the labor ing body of the city against the honest and obe- dient, and the settled and avowed purpowe to over Swe and subjugate the upper classes of the commy nity to their desire.” Quiet prevailed at t date. The Board of Aldermen met last evening. The ‘Rew Street Commissioner, Mr. Cooper, commanica- ted to the Board his reasons for depriving Mr. Joseph R. Taylor of authority to collect assessments. The Jeter of Mr. Cooper is given in our report of the pro- Ceedings, as is also a letter from the Counsel to the Corporation sustaining the views and opinion of the Btreet Commissioner. ‘The Board of Councilmen were in seasion last evening. Resolutions directing the heads of the wartons departments of the city government to sub. mit a report of the condition of their respective bureaus were adopted.

We believe that the adop- tion of this plan would greatly tend to lessen the chances of revulsions, and that, while each bank was free to transact its private business of discounting and issuing paper, as it pleased, the condition of all would be strengthened by the association. Nor can we conceive how this plan would injure the country banks or require the protecting intervention of State Legislatures jealous of New York. The country bank busi- nese would go on just as before, and as nobody. anywhere, would be obliged to do business with the associated banks or their branches, it is hard to see who would be so badly hurt as to feel like calling on the Legislatures for redress. \ This whine about the grasping tendgncies o New York which we see in certain papers like the Richmond Hnqwirer. is the Waldest trash.

Virginia was made a fine agricultural State: and when all of her people think more about work and less about politics and horse racing, ehe may be the France of the Union.

Mixsesota and Orrcox ano THE Brack Rerveiicaxs—The opposition of the nigger worshippers in Congress to the admission into the Union of those two now free States, Minne- sota and Oregon, affords onother striking ilus- tration of their utter disregard of principles or consistency, when consistency or principle does not suit their party purposes, Some of them are opposed to the Minnesota constitution be- cause it allows to aliens the right of suffrage; some are opposed to it on account of its restric- tions against free niggers; and, in addition to these objections in the case of Oregon, at least one black republican Senator oppoees her constitution hecanse it puts Joho Chinaman in the same category with negroes and Indians— an arrangement which is, in fact, a very wise one. The experience of California with the Chinete has aluodantly shown that they are no more fit to be assimilated with, or admitted on a footing of equality into a white community than negroes or Indians Bat all these objections of wur Northern nig- ger worshippers to the State constitutions of Minnesota and Oregon are mere pretexts and subterfuges. Their real objection is the aseen- dency of the democratic party in both these embryo States. This objcetion is particularly ap- plicable to Minnesota, where, under a postpone- ment of the act of admission, the republicans might possibly oust the two democratic United States Senetors already represent that State. and substitute » pair of a more satisfactory stripe of goods, But all thie trifing and artful dodging will amount to nothing. The two new States must come in, and as democratic States; and our nigger wor- shippers may as well consent to it at once, be- cause there is no help for it. On the other hand we perceive that, in re- ference to Kansas, some of out Southern fire- eating philosophers are endeavoring to accom- plish the work of extracting sunbeams from the encumber ; but if they can make a slave State of Kansas, under the English bill, they are quite welcome. We fear, though, that they will find out, before a year is over, that Mr. English has elected to | way, and cannot exactly make it eut. Some- body, it is quite certain, is crazy on this adver- tising point, and we are quite willing to give Aminadab Sleck, and all others, as much light as we can upon so important a subject. It will he neceseary to look into the philosophy and facts of the case:— We have heard that when the remarka- ble Bonner took hold of the Ledger it was a small and not over profitable concern. He originated a new and original system of ad- vertising, which has hed many imitators in a small way. Public attention was directed | to the paper, and its sales speedily increased. | Finally came the great financial crisis, Every- body cut off the luxuries. The newspaper and | book trade was much depressed. The publishers generally bent before the storm, publishing nothing, selling nothing, advertising nothing. Most of the old fashioned merchants and traders followed the same course, taking in sail and re- lapsing into a state of stagnation. A few, how- | ever, had the boldness to take a different course. Bonner was crazy enough to advertise still more | extensively than ever, filling column after | column with the announcements of the contents | of bis paper. Other men—architects of their own fortunes—such merchants as Alexander Stuart, aleo increased their advertising expenses | during the crisis. Some of the wholesale dry goods men moved up to Broadway, scattered their advertivements broadcast through the columns of the Henan, sold off their stocks of goods at retail for cash on the nail, and were ready to meet their payments. But of all these insane persons Bonner was the worst, The melancholy result of his insanity is that his paper not only sustained its circulation through the hard times, but increased it to a considera- | ble extent—that, notwithstanding the “enor- mous amounts” which he pays for advertising, he is a rich man, with a country house, two or | three fast horses, Xc., &e., and we soon expect | toeee him eailing his own yacht, and making more of a chow than Chemung Smith himself; and that without robbing the Corporation of a penny. Now, look at the old fogy traders who did | not advertise at all, or who gave their sixpenny | worth to Aminidab Sleek and his sleepy friends in Wallstreet. Where are they now? Smashed— irretrievably, irrevocably smashed, and obliged to give way to younger men, who will not be crazy enough to walk in the old way. The public will judge as to the crazy ones from the facts in the case. It will make up its mind that there is a good deal of method in the madness of the extraordinary Bonner, which brings him inaclear profit of twenty-five or thirty thousand doffare per annum, and aliows him to pay all his great expenses with cash down besides. It will soon be understood, even by the old fogies of Wall strect, that the busi- ness men of the present day are soiving the im- portant secret of how, when and where to ad- vertise, and that the old system is being swept away by the influence of the independent press, An advertisement in the New York Heratp, the London Times, or the Paris Constitutionnel travels over all the world, while the eame an- nouncement hidden in the Journal of Commerce serves only as an opiate for some sleepy old fogy in » dusky counting room. Who are the crazy ment—Bonner, who ad- vertise® @ great deal, or the old fogies who advertise not at all? Tax Governmewr anp tHE Mormons.—It appears that there is now every reason to believe that the volunteer additions to the army autho- rized by Congress will not be needed in the work: of the reduction of the Mormons to law and order. It is expected that the force of Col. | Johnston, together with the reinforcements, | munitions and provisions en rowe to his camp at | Fort Bridger, will be quite sufficient for the- purposes'of the expedition. We preeume that the original calculations of the military strength, resources and extensive Indian alliances of Brig- ham Young, for offensive operations, have been very materially cut down under the official in- quiries eubsequently instituted by the govern- ment, and that the administration, after pre- paring for all the poseible contingencies of a fierce rebellion, has discovered that there has been. an immense amount of humbuggery in the blowing and crowing and terrible threats of the Mormon Bombastes Furioso. The force now on the way to the Great Salt Lake will, therefore, answer all the purposes of the administration, as well, perhaps, es-an army of twenty thousand men. The net results of the expedition will most probably be the re- treat, for a seaeon, of Brigham Youmg and his hierarchy, and their prolific harems, seross our northern boundary into the British possessions, and the submission of the bulk of the Mormons remaining behind to the laws and civil authori- ties of the federal government, without resistance, It hes been reported that, under the auspices of Colonel Kinney (“Monsieur Tonsen come again”), a contract has been entered into under which the Mormons are to undertake the regene- tation of the Nicaragua Mosquito coast. Should this report turn out te be true, we may next ex- pect to hear of the advent of Brigham at Grey- town, and the gradual ingathcring there of his Saints, as fast as they ean sell out and settle up their affairsin Utah. In default of some such arrangement, considering the hostility of the British government to the detestable polygamy | of the Latter Day Saints, the next move of the Prophet will most likely be to some cluster of islands in the Pacific Ocean, where his comma- nity may be tolerated by the civilized World. on account of their complete isolation, and in. view of their services to. commerce. At all events, the substantial removal of the Mormon nuieance from the Territories of the United States, or its extinction, will be a settled. question within the next three or four months, In this respect the folly of Fillmore and the imbecility of poor Pierce will soon be amply atoned for in the decisive action of Mr. Buchanan. Tur Mayor axp Tae Swixpuina Instirv- Tions.—It seems that all Mayor Tiemann’s efforts to break up the swindling institutions of New York—the gambling houses, lottery poli- cies, mock auctions, and houses of ill fame—are strenuously opposed by nearly all the other criminal authorities. A few days ago the Mayor's squad succeeded in arresting quite a batch of gamblers in different portions of the city; but the Recorder discharged them from custody next day. The Recerder, we believe, thinks that the police cannot make such arrests without warrants from a magistrate. If he is going to let loose all the rascals picked up by the Mayor’s squad, on this ground, he will be doing an illegal act. The ninth section of the Metropolitan Police law authorizes the police on a simple order of any Police Commissioner to enter a gambling houee and arrest every one found there; and the same section makes it the duty of the magistrate be- fore whom the parties may be brought for examination to send them before the proper criminal court for trial, ‘it there shall be any probable cause for believing that any of such persons were in such premises for the purposes of gaming.” The Recorder discharged the pereons above alluded to on the ground that they were not caught in the act of gambling; but was there not probable cause for believing that they were there for that purpose? What else were they there for? It is quite useless for the Mayor to carry on his crusade against these swindling operations if his brethren in the magistracy, instead of sustaining him, only en- deavor to thwart him on all occasions. As for the Metropolitan Police, these institu- tions are carried on by their connivance. They are in league with them, protect them, patro- nize them, and profit by them. The late Mayor attempted to suppress the gambling houses and mock auctions, but he too found his designs frus- trated by the other authorities and by the po- lice; #0 be gave the matter up in despair. It is the same now with Mr. Tiemann as it was with Mr. Wood, and the result will, in all pro- bability, be similar. Not only are the police in league with the gamblers, lottery policy dealere, and mock ave- tioneers, but they do not even protect the citi- zens of New York in their lives and properties from the aseaults of rowdies. Every day aad everyhight we hear of gangs of ruffians enter- ing dining saloons and eating houses, filling their bellies with the choicest viands on the bill of fare, and washing them down with copious libations; and if the proprietor dares to ask them for payment they fall upon him, beat bim un- mercifully, and smash all his glasees and depan- ters, and the police are nowhere to be found. This is the way New York is governed under the Metropolitan Police act, and all the inde- pendent irresponsible departments; and we may hope for no improvement until the Mayor is ac- tually, as well as nominally, the chief magistrate. Criminat Proskevrions aGaixet Fisaxcrat, Swixpiers.—We alluded the other day to the the swindlers of the flush times which preceded the late revulsion would shortly be called to ao- count for their misdeeds in courts of justice. The public will be glad to know that the paos- pect will shortly be realized. Some of the honest and frit dealing financiers of Wall street—for there are some left even in that locwlity—pro- pose to endeavor to have a thorough investiga- tion of some of the more outrageous of the | sel of war.has been in our harbor several days, propect that some of the more conspicuous of alleged frauds which precipitated the revulsion 5 and before many Gays elapse we may have legal case pending which shall once more fix aly eyes upon the couris 0,” justice. It is to be hoped that tke example will be fol- lowed by others, Especially should the moat mysterious, inexplicable and seemingly shock- ing case of the Obio Life and Trust Company give rise to some legal investigetion. There never was a frand in all our finsuciad history which did 20 mugh mischief or compaased so much ruin as the failure of that concerm. It would be of batinitely dangerous consequence if its catastrophe were allowed to pass witliout at least an effort te discover whether or noit was ruined by fraud, and if it was who was the author of the fraud. The ruinedgcreditors of the Ohio Life and Trust Company owe it to themselves and to the country to proceed at once to lay the facts Lefore the Grand Jury. Arriva or THK Sranisu Sream Faigare Brasco px Ganay.—This beautifel Spanish ves and has attracted considerable notice. She is commanded by Capt. Claudio Alvar Gonzales, who isa gallant and brave officer. It was this vessel, and her present gallant and brave com- maander, with the officers and men onder his charge, who succeeded in reecuing the steam- ship IUinois from her perilous situation on a reef and saving « large amount of Califorhia treasure, and who at the time reecived tie con- gratulations of the captain and ali‘on board of the Kiineis, This handsome and gallant act of the brave officers and men in charge of the Spanish frigate, also elicited the praise of the press of the country at the time. As the Blasco de Garay will be in our waters some days, we hope to see those national courtesies usual om such oceasions extended to Commander Gon- zules and those under his charge, as an-.acknow- ledgment of their praiseworthy conduct’ towards an American steamer in perilous distress, and freighted as she was with a great number of humaa lives and valnable treasure. Tuvriow Weep's Derunce py a Froem— The Hon. Maren Greeley comes up magnani- mously to the defence of Thurlow Weed: re- specting that tariff lobby fee of five thousand dollars. He argues that if Thurlow did get the money, being neither a member of Congreas nor @ newspaper editor at the time, but only a pro- fessional lobby man, the operation was a legitf- mate business affair. Very well. Have we said anything to the contrary? We only com tend that Thurlew is a lobby man and pipe, layer, and that “ all’ is fish that comes into hie his net,”’ which being conceded, puts an end to the controversy. The Hon. Massa Greeley, however, by way of an offset, finds some com- fort in the discovery that our newspaper cotem- Poraries have very little to sayin the way of fiat- tery for the New York Hrraip; but when they ean say of us that we have pocketed a lobby fee of five thousand dollars, or have acted as the go-between in a suspicious lobby draft of a thoe- sand dollars, or have raised » Slievegammen subscription of $50,000 for the work of revole- tionizing Ireland and have givem no account of the money, or that we have collected a fund of a hundred thousand for “bleeding Kansas’ without rendering in any account of its die- bursement, we shall be ready to capitulate te the lobby, to Tharlow Weed the incorraptible, and to the Hon. Massa Greeley. Beaus Tetxgraru Revoxts—One of our morning cotemporaries has published a telegra- phic report from Washington to-the effect that Mr. John Nugent, editor of a California paper, is now at Waebington, a candidate for a fat federal office in that State, and that his prin- cipal reliance with the adminietration is the sup- pert of his claims by the New Yorx Heraty. This is all news to us, and, so far as thisjournal is coneerned, it is all staf. Some twelve or fourteen years ago, during the administration of Mr. Polk, Mr. Nugent was engaged for some months as one of the Washington correspondents of this journal. With the breaking out of the California epidemic he was carried off to that country, and, from that day © this we have scareely heard of him, except through the columns of his paper. We had supposed him successful as a journalist; but his appearance now at Washington as an office seeker, if he be an Office seeker, demolishes this impression, and we are sorry for it. So far as his application for office is concerned, we know nothing sbout him. His case as an office seeker is none of our business, but purely a matter between himself and his California competitors.
