The steamship Vanderbilt arrived at this port yesterday forenoon from Southampton, having made the passage in nine days and thirteen hours, thus beating the Baltic’s quickest time by four hours, and the best run of the Cunard steamer Arabia by ten hours and fifty-five minutes. The advices by the Vanderbilt are to the 9th inst., but the pith of the news has already appeared in our telegraphic despatch from St. Johns, N. F., published on Friday morning. We give, however, to-day, some very in- teresting extracts from our English files, including the proceedings in the House of Lords, on the 8th inst., with reference to the outrages of the British cruisers on American merchantmen, to which more particular reference is made in our editorial columns. It will be seen by our reports from Albany that the Court of Appeals, at its recent term, rendered judgment in a suit brought by mem- bers of the old police against the Metropolitan Board of Police Commissioners. A little explana- tion is neceasary in order to make the effect of the judgment rendered intelligible. There were but two of the police cases argued at the Court of Ap- peals—McCune’s and Gorman’s. The former was Jaid over, and no decision rendered. In the latter case the judgment of the Court below was af- firmed. This, however, is of no importance, since the main question was left undecided. To explain this we will state that Gorman’s case involved merely the regularity of certain proceedings to remove him. McCune's case, however, involved the question whether those members of the old force who ad- hered to Mayor Wood had thereby elected not to take office in the new police; or, in other words, whether they had forfeited their places by taking sides with the ex-Mayor and resisting the Police Commissioners. That point—the only one of in- terest —as we have stated above, remains undecided; #0 there is really no decision that amounts to any- thing, after all. The Aldermanic Committee on Ferries met yes terday a'ternoon to hear parties in reference to the Peck slip ferry question. Ex-Mayor Wall and a large number of the citizens of Williamsburg were present and spoke against the closing up of Peck slip as a ferry, and argued that it is indispensable to their convenience that it should be continued. The Presi- dent of the Ferry Company also spoke upon the same side of the question, and argued that the closing of that ferry will leave the travel between Williams- burg and New York entirely at the mercy of the company that now is in possession of the South ‘Tenth street and James slip ferry. A numerously signed petition was submitted, as coming from the people of Williamsburg, in favor of rescinding the resolution that has already passed the Councilmen in favor of closing the Peck slip ferry. They argue that it should be put up at auction and sold to the highest bidder, and thus all interested would have an oppor- tunity of making an effort to obtain what they are 60 much interested in, and the city would reap a pecuniary advantage. In the case of the United States against George Ferguson, charged with presenting a forged draft of the Collector at the Sab-Treasury, the accused was yesterday discharged after an examination. We learn from the report of the City Inspector that there were 350 deaths in this city during the past week, a decrease of 51 as compared with the mortality of the week previous, and 16 more than died in the corresponding week of last year. The following table exhibits the number of deaths daring the past two weeks among adults and children, distinguishing the sexes: — Men. Women. Girls. Total.

Coroser Gamble held an in- quest in the case, and a verdict was rendered against the husband, and on its rendition the latter was committed to the Tombs to await the action of the Grand Jury. The jury in the trial of Cancemi for the murder of Policeman Anderson, having been locked up ‘rom Friday evening at aix o'clock to Saturday morning at ten, came into Court to ask for information respect- ing the testimony of Rollins, one of the witnesses for the prosecution, and in abont ten minutes afterwards brought in a verdict of guilty ot the murder charged. Being polled, they all answered in the affirmative. The Committee of the Common Council charged with the removal of President Monroe's remains held another meeting yesterday, and egreed to ac- cept the services of the Eighth Regiment to escort the remains from the place of disinterment to the City Hall, and those of the Seventh Regiment to eacert them thence to their final Testing place, in Richmond, Virginia. A com- munication was received from the Richmond Committee of considerable interest. The cere- monials are to commence at four o'clock on the 3d of July, An invitation has been extended to the various civic societies to participate in the removal of the remains from the cemetery to the steamship Jamestown, that vessel being the one accepted as the mode of conveyance. ‘The cotton market was firmer yesterday, and closed at an advance of about 1c. per pound. The sales embraced about 1,800 a 2,000 bales, closing at 1250. for mi idling uplands. Fiour was heavy, andthe market for common and medium grades closed at a decline of about Sc. per barrel, while sales were tos fair extent. Wheat was in good request, and the sales reached 50,000 a 60,000 bush. els, at prices given in snotber place. The sales of corn were limited and chiefly confined to Western mixed, at 68c. for dameged and 730. for good sound qualities Pork was heavy, with sales of mess at $16 85, and of Prime at $13 75 0$13 80.

The Right of Search in Parliament—The Question not Settled. We learn by our advices from England by the Vanderbilt, that the question of the British out- rages had been again brought up in Parliament and the Minister of Foreign Affairs had been interpolated upon the subject. Orders are said to have been given to stop the visitation of American vessels on the coast of Cuba, and the hope has been expressed by Lord Malmesbury that when a conversation he had had with Mr. Dallas has been reported to the United States government, and a despatch he had sent to Lord Napier had been delivered, nothing would occur to mar the alliance se happily existing between the two countries, as, from the conversation he had had with the American Minister, he believed theré was no great difference of views between the two. We do not yet know what the views of Mr. Dallas are, but from a careful perusal of the expres- sions used in the House of Lords on this occa- sion, we are much inclined to differ with Lord Malmesbury, and to believe that there is a very material difference of views between the two governments, and that not only is the question of the right of search far from being settled, but that It will become ut uo distant day a sub- ject of irritating discussion. Our reasons for such a belief lie in the fact that all the parties to the present and a former ditcussion in Parliament on this subject, and all the editorial comments of the British jour- nals upon the question, with « single exception, have studiously ignored and slurred over the true point at issue. We will recapitulate the positions taken by three leading statesmen in England, in the last discussion of this subject. Lord Clarendon believed that it was desira- ble to avoid either an extension of the slave trade er a rupture of political relations with the United States; that the American govern- ment did not desire that the slave trade should be extended; that vessels belonging to the United States had carried on the siave trade, and he did not see how it could be stopped an less some right of search was given ; that such aright bas been admitted by all maritime na- tions ; that no Britieh officer would exercise the right of searching an American vessel if he was really convinced that it was bona fide Ame- rican ; that if any foreign Power should inter- pose to prevent the perpetration of nefarious offences by a British vessel, Eagtand would be obliged to them for their interference ; aud he did not think the American government would differ from England on that point. Lord Malmesbury entirely agreed with his noble friend, that the American flag is constant- ly prostituted to cover the slave trade aud other illegal scte; that it is highly desirable that some agreement should be made between the two countries, by which it may be distinctly understood what proceedings ought to be taken by their officers respectively, and which will not be offensive to honest traders; and that it is to this point he has directed thé attention of the government of the United States, on which there is no great difference of views between him and the American Minister. Earl Hardwicke said that the mode of opera- tions of inquiring into the nationality of a ves- sel had been clearly laid down, and if there had been any excess of those instructions, it was against the direction that no offence was to be given toany nation in conducting the operations in thore seas. Now we deny, pointedly and categorically, all the positions assumed by Lord Clarendoa and Lord Malmesbury; and if Mr. Dallas bas no great difference with these statesmen on these points, he has kept too much company with Britich ministers, and does not represent the views of his government; or if he dues re- present the views of the administration in this coinciding with Lord Malmesbury, then the nd ministration does not represent the almost unanimous wishes of the American people. The extension or extinction of the slave trade is not ® point in which the United States eympathizes with England, and is not the true point at issue. The governmeat ot the United States takes care that no African slave trade is carried on with the United States but it is none of its business whether Bay land, France, Spain, Portugal and al! other nations of the world, permit or prohibit the slave trade in their dominions. “Veswis of the United States do net carry on the slave trade, nor ie the American flag prostituted to cover that and other illegal acts, ax Lord Malmesbury asserts, The criminality of «lling American vewele to the slave traders in Africa to carry their slaves in, is no greater than that of selling them Britieh goods to bay the slaves with. The British flag protects those goods until they are safe in the slave traders’ NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JUNE 20, 1858, stores, The right of search has not been ad mitted by all maritime nations, and never wil be admitted by the United States, As for England's readiness to permit a foreign Power to search Britich ships at sea, we do not think Lord Clareadon represents the feeling of the British nation. Let us suppose, for a mo- ment, that the United States pretended to the same interest in stopping the slave trade that England docs; that we should assert that the British flag was constantly prostituted in carry ing, madspollams, salempores, Brumagem mus kets, powder and rum for the slave traders, and we should send a fleet into the St. Genrge’s aud British channels, and bring to and board every British ship coming out of their porta; and that further, we ehould capture and take into Plymouth or Southampton all vessels having goods on board, with which a negro might be purchased en the coast of Africa. Lord Claren- don will permit us to believe that if we did all this, John Bull’s blood would boil with anger, and if it did not, he ought to have—his nese pulled. Yet this is no more than British crui- sers are doing to our ships under pretence of putting down the slave trade. My Lord Malmesbury may believe that it is highly desirable that some agreement may be made between the two countries to permit Bri- tish officers to search American vessels upon the ocean, and that he hus done some great thing in directing the attention of the govern- ment of the United States to this point. But the government has had its attention called to this point, and has given expression to its determi- nation thereon before my Lord Malmesbury left off diaper; and if he and Mr. Dallas were not aware of that fact, they had both better re- sign office at once and go into the nursery. Lord Malmesbury in this statement has shown himself to be utterly ignorant of political and diplomatic history. But Earl Hardwicke lets the cat out of the bag. Instructions have been given to examine veseels at sea, and even direc- tions as to the manner of doing it have been laid down. This is the true point at issue: all the rest about the slave trade is humbug; and this is what the United States will not consent to. This right of search is @ belligerent right, and must not be exercised in time of peace, by Eng- land or any other nation. When Lord Malmes- bury renews the old request that we shall grant to British cruisers faculty to exercise this right in some prescribed form, he admits two great pointe:—First, that England does not yet possess the right of search upon the ocean in time of peace; and second, that she does not give up her desire to possess and exercise it. This is what she must give up, and the question should be urged by Mr. Buchanan to a settle- ment now. We want no volunteer {policemen upon the sea, Tue Sunpay Press np THE RELIGIOvs Press.— There is just now quite a contest going on between the Sunday press and the religious press as to the comparative effect of either class of journals upon the public morals. The Sunday press charges the religious press with. cant, hypocrisy, envy, hatred, and all other pharasaical vices. The reli- gious press eay that the Sunday press is edit- ed and published under the direct supervision of Satan himself, and that the best way to resist the devil and all his works is to stop the sule of newspapers on the Sabbath. After a careful examination of the journals of both classes we have come to the conclusion that the religious press bas no claim to the merit of superior sanc- tity over the Sunday or secular press. The re- ligious editors are even more vehement in their abuse of each other than those of the Sunday press. They send all who do not agree with them to perdition, without judge or jury. . If Brother Beecher in the Jndependent does not agree with come other brother in the Christian Intelli- _gencer, Brother Beecher is immediately damned to all eternity, and vice versa. All these breth- ren are continually begging for funds under the cloak of religion, while there is little hypocrisy about the Sunday press. The editors say we publich our papers to make money, and will sell our columns at 60 much per line, as a business transaction. The religious editors, however, claim to be actuated by no motive except that of adesire to advance the Lord’s kingdom ; but at the same time they keep as sharp a look- out for the dimes as their satanic opponents. It is a sad state of things; but Satan really seems to have the best of the matter iu this in- stance. Cot. Kane anp Tus Mormons. —One of our morning cotemporaries gives all the credit of the pacification of the Mormons to Col. Kane, the volunteer Peace Ambassador to Brigham Young; and in this connection the hardships, privations, sufferings and dangers passed through by the intrepid Colonel are recited in very glowing colors. But the pacification of the Mormons is simply due to the army movements towards the Great Salt Lake set in motion by Mr. Buchanan. The advance of a new corps of executive and judicial Territorial officers, under the escort of an army force of several thousand men, with another thousand or two to bring ap the rear, taken all together, formed an argu- ment in favor of peace to Brigham, the Prophet, as strong as the most convincing revelation. In fact, he never had received a more infallible revelation from any quarter; and hence his quiet turrender of the keys of Territorial authority. That is all there is about it; and had Col. Kane's mission been » mission to the Mormons in bebalf of war instead of peace, the result would have been the same. Tae Custom Hovsk axp mrs Emrtores.— After hanging between heaven and earth, like Mahomet’s coffin, for five or six months, Mr. Schell has at last been confirmed as Collector of the Port of New York, and is safe in his eeat for several years to come. With this confirmation, strong as Holy Writ, comes up the wild buat tor office. There are about ten thousand hun wry applicants, and only about a thousand places for them all. One in ten is a fair ave- rage for capability and industry, and therefore Mr. Schell can make a clean sweep of all the lazy, lounging, incompetent, broken-down poli tical hacke that have been feeding at the public crib 8o long, and fill their places with fresh working men. Mr. Schell being a new broom, is expected to make a clean sweep and clear away all the cobwebs, Waar is Gore ox my tHe Orvice oF Cote 1RoTOR OF Assessments ?—More light is want edon the manner in which the basiness has been conducted in the office of Collector of Assess ments. Upwards of two hundred thousand dol lars is to be accounted for. The law, we be lieve, requires that the money collected in thie office shall be paid over at the close of every week. Can Mr. Flagg inform us why it was not done? Tue Ariantic TeLkoRapu Expsprriow —Else- where will be found another instalment of our wccount of the preliminary arrangements of the expedition which is now engaged in a second effort to covnect by telegraph the Old and New Worlds, We purpose continuing this narrative trom day to day, until the public are placed in voeeession of all the scientific discoveries and improvements which have been effected eince the failure of last year. They will then be in a posigion to judge whether the success or disap- pointment of the hopes founded on the present expedition is of a final charecter, or whether there is really any prospect of the realization of this great enterprise, It is only by conclu- sions drawn from the data which we piace be- fore them that they will be able to form « cor- rect opinion as to the nature of the difficulties that are to be overcome. The reports of engi- neers and electricians have been shown to be 80 utterly unreliable that it is no longer safe to trust to their statements. In view of this fact we feel ourselves called upon 1o supply the information which those gentlemen are either afraid or inable to furnish, and to ehow the exact extent of the progress that has been made towards the eluci- dation of the scientific difficulties connected with the work. If the project succeeds, our labors will leave but little to explain as to the manner in which success has been achieved ; if i fails, they will serve to point out the causes of the failure, and prevent the discouragement inseparable from an apparently hopeless result. We must not, however, anticipate a disap- pointment which human ekill and ingeauity have taken such pains to avert. According to all present appearances, the failure, if any, will not arise from the impossibility of laying the cable, but from the difficulty of obtaining from it the facilities anticipated. The con- duct of Mr. Whitehouse and his assistants in- spires grave doubts on this latter point, and although Mr. Hughes has succeeded in demon- strating that American skill may, to some ex- tent, remedy their short comings, that gentleman has yet to prove that even his instrument will overcome all the obstacles shown to exist in the transmission of an effective current through such a length of submerged wire. This ques- tion is, however, for the moment, subordinate in importance to that of the laying of the cable; and we look with eager interest to the result of the labors of the expedition. By this time the connection bas, in ali probability, been effected in mid-ocean; and it may be assumed that the paying out vessels are at present on their way to the Irish and Newfoundland coasts, It is satisfactory to learn that thus far everything has been propitious. Capt. Lefevre, of the Vanderbilt, who has passed close to the track of the line, reports the weather as mag- nificent, and in every respect favorable to the success of the undertaking. In ten, or, at farthest, twelve days, we ehall be relieved from all further doubt concerning a result upén which the attention of the whole civilized world is fixed. Tux Coronation at Honoxex.—The Catho- lic church at Hoboken, having a fine picture of the Madonna—a present from the Duchess of Genoa—proposes, in accordance with the usages of the church, to celebrate its reception by crowning it. Some of the Know Nothing pa- pers seem disposed to revile aud ridicule this ceremonial—one of the most beautiful and im- pressive of the whole ritual. Leaving out of the question the religious aspect of the cere- mony, it is quite proper that the picture, if a good one, should be received with honor in remembrance of the artist, and in honor of the art—too little respected among ua. Whatever may be said in condemnation of the dignitaries of the Roman church, it cannot be denied that they have always been the most liberal patrons of the fine arts in Europe. This will be acknow- ledged with gratitude by every one who has made the tour of the Continent. Cotrecton Scueu’s Staremest oF THE Casr.—Before a large assemblage of the congrat- ulating democracy, Collector Schell delivered a speech the other evening, in which he set down the desperate efforts made to defeat his confirmation os having been encouraged by two opposition journals here, instigated and eet on by traitors in the democratic camp. We preeume that the Collector refers to some of the clique who made themselves so very con- epicuous in the defeat and political exile of the late Mayor Wood, and that the Collector was to have been their next victim. His victory over them is something, then, to crow over ; but we have no idea that the war among the factions will end bere. But the administration has given the disturbers in the camp a wholesome lesson or two, and they would do well to be very circumspect and cautious in their future move- ments, or they may be swamped before they know it. Nothing like democratic harmony.
