A special meeting of the Young Men's Republican Central Committee was held last evening. The best part of the evening was spent ina tedious debate upon the contesting list of delegates from the Twen- tieth ward. It was finally decided that the Gridley ticket should be admitted. The rest of the evening was spent in an endeavor to elect officers for the year. There were about sixty persons present. The sessions of the Excise Commissioners become more ludicrous every day. At their meeting yester day they did little more than direct the clerk to in form Commissioner Kerr that his presence in the Board a! their next meeting is indispensable. The Committee on Roads of the Board of Alder men met yesterday, and heard different parties give their reasons why Eighth avenue should or should not be graded from 147th street to the Harlem river, ut they took no action on the matter. The Councilmen’s Committee on Railroads met yesterday to consider the subject of licensing small city cars, but as no one appeared to speak his views on the subject, they adjourned without doing any. thing.

The insisting by England apon the claim to exercise this belligerent right io a time of peace makes it a question of war at onc», and the emphatio report of the Senate Commit- tee on Foreign Relations made yesterday is bit an echo of the public seatiment of this country. The people of the United States are determined that their flag shall be respected, and that under no pretence, whether slave trade or any otber trade, shall their ships be detained in a time of peace. And this feeling is not a local one; the North, South, East and West are equally unani- mous upon it. If any possible distinction can be found it is that the Northwest is more in- dignant at the insolent exercise of this right than any other section, But the entire American people claim that Ame- rican ships have the absolute right to sail the ocean unquestioned in a time of peac», when there is no possibility of their iafriazing the belligerent rights of other natioas, If Eig lard insists upon any other principle we must have a war, and in that case the soouer we have it the better. Bat every day brings out some new fact which strengthens our already expressed view — that political and partisan motives are at the bottom of this sudden outbreak in the diploma- cy of England. One of our cotemporaries, who has tasted good dinners at Broadiands aod hob- nobbed with ite master, thinks that Derby, and pot Palmerston, must have issued the obnoxious orders to the British cruisers. A fact which will be found in a commanication pablished in our colamns to-day overthrows that theory. As early as November last, one of the craisers— the Jarper—while on her way to her station on the coast of Caba, boarded and overhaaled an American ship at sea. This is conclusive evidence that the orders to search American vessels were not issued to these cruisers recent- ly, through the British Admiral on the Jamaica station, but came directly from Palmerstoa, long before he dreamed of being turned out of cffice by the spontaneous uprising of public opinion in Great Britain against bis truckling policy to the schemes of Louis Napoleon. Wh ne _- 9 aan in this country why the a Peo i ne Lent slavery humbug should set on foot there, aad support here, this exercise of the right to over- haul American ships, uoder the pretence that it is necessary to herrass our five millions of toas of shipping to catch half a dozen surreptitious slave traders. The fallacies upon which their political supremacy in England is founded, aad upon which they rely for existeace as a politi_ cel faction in this country, are fast dying out in the public mind. The commercial and manu- facturing classes in Eogland are beginning to see that the question of cotton and sugar is far superior in its bearing upon the bulk of human happiness to the question of nigger. They are beginning to feel, too, that by their supineness they bave permitted the evangelical faction of Exeter Hall to do too mach injury to Eagland’s material interests, and they have made up their minds to stop it. A few months ago Palmer- ston saw no danger to his rule in Great Britain except from the Manchester school of states- men, and he determined to get up a surrepti- tious iseue upon the slavery question with this country, in order to wake up the evangelical faction to his support. Then it was, and for this purpose, that be issued the obnoxious or- ders, and sent his cruisers into our own waters to execute them. Similar reasons have welghed with Seward and his factious followers in the antislave- ry agitation in this country to pal- liate and defend this insolent course on the part of Palmerston. They are endeavor- ing to impress upon the public mind that the present punishment of a few Spanish slave traders who violate our flag is of more impor- tance than the security of our ships apon the sea for all coming time. Kansas has undeceived the people of this country as to the value of the factious humbug of anti-slavery; and the in- vention of the groesest outrages there now falls dead upon the public ear. So they unite with Palmerston in the policy of blinding the public to their ulterior schemes by endeavoring to rouse again the spirit of fanaticiem. Both of them hope for the same success that attended the fana ical faction in England, when, through the supineness of other great interests, they succeeded in dreesing up Britannia in a clerical coat and white neckcloth, and tarned her into a fanatical humanitarian propagandist. They would dress up Columbia in the same hypocriti- cal garb, and lead her into preaching their ad- mission to the high places of the State. It is for this reason that they are endeavoring to al- lay the epirit of patriotiem that these British outrages bave awakened throughout the length and breadth of the land. But it will avail them nothing. The anti- slavery humbug is an obsolete idea. So soon as England forces Spain to hold to ber treaties there will be no pretence for international irri- ation on this question. And if the British statesmen, whether Derby or Palmerston, will not do this, then the United States must take porsession of Caba, and that will settle the whole question by removing the pretext for these proceedings. The commercial and indus trial interests of England and America will soon force us to do this; and when it shall be done, the African slave trade will cease to exist, and the question of slavery become one of purely loco! legislation and control. International in- terferenee with it will then be confined to the ten table gossip of euch old women as the Duchess of Sutherland and Mra. Beecher Stowe, and other Sairey Gamps aod Mre. Harrises on both sides of the water. NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1858, ‘The Mintstertai Crisis in Engtand, The struggle for power between the Derby- iter avd the old whig leaders has attracted more attention wbroed than aby ministerial contest of # timilur character that bas occurred in Eng lend for the last quarter of a centary. The rea- Fou of this is that the principles at issue between the two parties bave reference more to the Joreipn then to the domestic policy of the Bri- ticb cmpire, and that on the continuance of the present ministry depends, in all probability, the waintevance of its friendly relations with seve- rai other Powers, incloding France. Lord Derby seems to be fally impressed with the importance of the stake for which he is play- ing; snd learning experience from his past reck- leseuers, he appears determined to make the mort of the advantages which accidental cir cumstances Lave placed inhis way. This time the feeling of the country is rather with than against bim, and po minister has ever had ‘eirer trie) than that which we believe the people of England are divposed to afford him. Their readiness to eccord him and his associates an- otber opportunity, after the many disgraceful failures they bave made, can only he accounted for by their conviction of the inherent eelfish- nen apd wortbleseness of their predecessors. The personal policy of the old whig families has become odtous in their eyes, aad they would give atrial to the devil himself, provided the devil bad comething of the leaven of natioaality mbim. The Derby men are sensible of the fact that the prevent ia their Gnal experiment of power as an independent party. Hence the extraordi- oary esgerness with which they have bazarded tbe propoeal of measnres, imperfectly digested itis true, but surpassing in their ultra liberal character all thore of their predecessors, The evidences of this are to be found in the repre- eentative principle introduced in their [odia bill; the curious temptations thrown out in it to the larger borough constituencies; the firm- wees of the position which they assumed towards the French goverument, and the told and radical character of the de cleratons made by Lord Ellenborough in reference to the past policy of Great Britain io India. It is, it is true, the premature publication of the letter containing tbere ceclarations which constitutes the present davger of the Derby administration, but at the sume time it forms its apchor of safety. It isa question with us whether this indiscretion of Lord Eileuborough was not a deliberately cal- culated etroke of policy. His lordship, while appearing to victimize himself for the safety of bis colleagues, bas at once increased theirs and hie own popularity with the great body of the Englieb people. In view of the support which it bes gaived for them out of doors, they cao aflord to enep their fingers at any majority which the Palmerston and Russell coalition may eecure on the pending vote of censure in the Commons, Public opinion in England has become so un- settied of late in regard to the value of party orgsnizations that a minister may well be ex- cured fcr appealing to the constituencies for their verdict on a course which he knows to be in consonance with the public sentiment. The cor doct of his sdministration in regard to Fravce hae gained for Lord Derby a large body of eupporters amongst the radicals, including the more prominen' talented of the Man- - eveuciws, They vourrs rigbt in the opiniou—that there is more to be guined for the cause of popular liberty from the fears of the conservatives than from the hollow profeseions of euch men as Russell and Palmers- ton. This conviction has, of course, been strengthen d by the results of the recent diplo- matic controversy with the French government. What the slavieh, truckliog, lickepittle policyof Palmereton failed to effect, the firm and decid-d tone of the Derby Cabinet at once accomplished. The latter made it evident that it wae only the bomiliating fears of the previous governmmt tbat bad encouraged the French Emperor in his insolent pretensions. For this result, instinctively appreciated by public opinicn, the English radicals ow? the Des by Cabinet o discriminating support. The cordiality of their aid will, if we mistake n¢, be greatly enbenced by the events now transpring at this side of the Atlantic. The unprowked and unwarrantable aggressions committe oa American commerce through, as it canna be doubted, the instructions of Lord Palmerton, in his foolish anxiety to conciliate the Exter Hall fanatics, will not only arouse a poweful sentitaent of indignation amongst the commerial intereets in Eoglund against the selfish persaal policy of the ex-Premier, bat will array aganst him all those who bave political sympatles with this country. The news of these outraes will, of course, have been turned to immedite account by Lord Derby; and the energetic & claimer which he has, probably, by this tite made of the responsibility attaching to tha will do mere to strengthen his position with te great body of the English people than te course thet he has taken upon the India bil, or upon apy other question. Under these circumstances we think that Lai Derby, in the event of an adverse majority n Mr. Cardwell’s motion, will not hesitée to dissolve Parliament. He would bean Ig = fool if he did, seeing that so may accidente combine to secure the ascer dency of his administration in a nev House of Commons. He has only to perseveré in the firm but just course of policy of which bis initiatory measures have given indication, to establish his government and personal inflaence upon # basis more stable than those of any minister who has ruled Great Britain for the last half century. The times are propitious for such an undertaking; for the English are tired of the hollow professions, the meagre perform- ances and the corrupt practices of the old whig families which bave so long enjoyed a monopoly of power. Under a minister like Lord Derby, having the strongest incentives to cultivate support for his administration, both at home and abroad, we should not be surprised to see the domestio and foreign policies of Great Britain assume o moro liberal, equitable and general satisfactory character than they have ever before presented. Mayor Tremans Apverrisine Tue Lorrery Brsiwess.—We understand that in consequence of Mayor Tiemann’s recent raid on the Georgia lotteries, the gratuitous advertising which they have received in all the newspapers of the coun- try has increased their business toa great ex tent. Though there are at present but four States now legalizing this business, it is said its extent is fully equal to that of the time when lotteries were not prohibited in any of the Stetes—the tales of tickets being estimated at over $5,000,000 annually, There are now in active operation two lotteries in Georgia, two in Mery'and, two in Kentucky and one in Dela- ware, all of which draw every day. Besides theee, there is the Paducsh Lottery, of Kea- tacky, just purchased by Mr. Ben. Weed, for the frapehise of which he is to pay $80,000 In spite of laws to the contrary, their tickets are old throughout the country; aud, asif fur the dodge ever known.

Wikoff, all the last winter, off and on, was negotiating, and pleading Lumley, in behalf of this grand enterprise. Wi- kof, it is true, at the same time had his book to look after, and the ticklish affairs of Eagland and France, and perhaps some little outstanding balancee on account of Miss Gamble; bat Wikoff likes to have plenty of irons in the fire. No doubt the “right of search” question between | The House thea went into Committes on the private England and the United States will be settled over a confidential breakfast, if Wikoff can only find Palmerston at home, and in the right humor. At all events, let not the Chevalier Barnum ap- propriate all the glory of this operatic inva- sion, when a share of it, at least, is due to the Chevalier Wikoff. “Pren Woor.”—Wro Pain vor Tar Hovsrt— ‘The cat is out of the bag that Chevalicr Webb | dil deliberately attempt to pall the wool— | “fire wool” —over the eyes of Lawrence, Stone &lo., to the extent of the ront of that house an the extras at Washington; and the fact has apbared that the firm had no “free wool” to > of in that way.” The question recurs, who paid for that house, thore extras, such as the old wines ‘andy, the stewed oystersand sogara?
