Our comments on the subject will be found in the editorial columns. The yachts eatered for the Ocean Race will start this morning, at ten o'clock, from abreast the club house, Hoboken. The amount of the sweepstakes is $800. The Metropolitan Police made their first public parade yesterday, and were reviewed by Governor King and the city authorities, in the Park. Six hundred and sixteen men were in the ranks ; the Test of the police force remaining on duty in their several wards. Although the day was fine, and the parade was a good one, it excited little or no public interest. There were not over 2,000 personsin the Park to witness it. ‘The arrangements for the removal of President Monroe's remains are progressing slowly. The Seventh regiment has agreed to accompany the re- mains to Richmond, and will probably turn out five hundred strong. We give in another column a re. port of a meeting of the Virginians last evening, together with an interesting sketch of the obsequies of July 7, 1831. The German and French socialists celebrated the anniversary of the socialist ontbreak in Paris on the 23d of June, 1848, last evening, by a banquet in Harmony Hall, Essex street, which was densely crowded. Several red republican speeches were de- livered and much enthusiasm prevailed. The Commissioners of Emigration met at 3 o'clock yesterday and received and adopted a report and re- solution from the Committee on Castle Garden, au- thorizing the cashier of the depot to receive and fill orders for passage to the interior from the authorized agents of passenger ships, at the rate of fare fixed at the Garden. At the usual hour yesterday, there not being a quorum of members present, the meeting of the Commissioners of Health was adjourned to this day. The jury in the case of Daniel Cunningham, charg. ed with the homicide of Patrick McLaughlin, alias Pandeen, was discharged yesterday morning by the Recorder, it being impossible for them to agree upon a verdict, after deliberating twenty hours. Seven jurors believed the defendant guilty of manslaughter in the third degree, one of the fourth grade of that offence, while four were in favor of rendering a ver- dict of not guilty. His Honor fixed the amount of Canningham’s bail at $10,000. Wm. Marrin, of Brooklyn, became his surety. We learn that there will be no mail from New Or. Jeans on the first proximo for Vera Cruz. The con- tract with the postal department, under which it has been carried by the steamship Tennessee, ex- pired on the 15th instant, and has not yet been re. pewed. That ship is expected to arrive at New Orleans to-day from Vera Cruz, and will then come on here to overhaul. There will consequently be no mail made up by our Post Office for Mexico for some time to come. A private letter from Gov. Cumming, received in Washington, lays much stress upon the importance of inducing the Mormons to return to their homes and employment. He confirms the statement of there being peace and a war party among them, and says that in case of a collision between the Mormons and the army, a guerilla war of several years duration may be expected. The LegisMature of Brazil met on the 34 of May. We publish to-day a report of the speech made by the Emperor on the occasion, in which his Majesty reviews the position of public affairs and freely ac- knowledges that the question of maintaining a pro- per supply of laboring hands was one requiring great consideration. An extensive fire broke out in the Iumber yard of Messrs. Ballock & Many, in Albany, yesterday afternoon, which had not been extinguished at nine o'clock last night. In addition to the Jamber yard four or five dwellings were destroyed, and the loss is said to be very heavy. Henry Secrit, anti-Lecompton, has been nomi- nated by the democrats of the Seventh district, In- diana, as their candidate for Congress. The screw steamship City of Baltimore, which left Liverpool on the 9th inst., arrived at this port early yesterday morning. The news had been anticipated by the Vanderbilt and Persia. At the cattle market yesterday there was a large supply of beef cattle on hand, and prices on all qualities declined about 1}c. per pound; the range of prices was from 7c. to 9}c., the general selling price about 8jc.,and the market was very dull. The demand for cows and calves was slightly improved, and sales were made at $45 a $55. Veal calves were im moderately active demand, and prices ranged from 60. to 64c. The supply of sheep and lambs was heavy and prices somewhat lower; good lambs sold at $5.0 $5 50,and extras $6,$7 and $8 per head. For swine the market was dull, and the selling rate about 44c. The cotton market continued firm yesterday, with a food demand. The sales embraced about 2,000 bales, closing on the basis of about 12);0. for middling up.

Important from Wasbington—Settlement of We learn from Washington that the right of search question with England has been finally settled upon a basis that will be found in ano- ther column, and that the recent course of the British cruisers has brought out two other im- portant results. One of these is the claim of Capt. Bartlett for the loss of his ship, the Cla- rendop, and the other that the State Depart- ment is already at work making up for Congress a tabular statement of claims presented by our citizens against foreign governments aince 1815. In settling the right of search question Mr. Buchanaaz has achieved a great victéry. Ever since the first years of the present century this subject has been one of constant discussion and irritation between the United States and Eng. land, and many efforta have been made to ar- range it, without success. The first discussion was begun by Mr. Jefferson and the last great diplomatic combat on it was between Mr. Webster and Lord Ashburton. It will be a subject of congratulation everywhere that the inviolability of ships upon the sea during a time of peace is an admitted and settled point. The claim of Capt. Bartlett is a side issue from the great question of the right of search. It will be remembered that the Clarendon was loading in the outer harbor of Sagua at the time of the advent there of her Britannic Majesty’s steamer Buzzard in a belligerent atti- tude and disposition. Owing to the hostile proceedings of the Buzzard, the Spanish lighter- men refused to risk their lighters in the outer harbor, and the lading and departure of the Clarendon was thereby delayed. When she had afterward completed her cargo she sailed, and was soon after lost in a storm on Salt Cay bank, about one day’s sail from Sagua. The ground taken by the owners of the Clarendon is, that had the hostile proceedings of the Buz- zard not taken place, the delay of the ship would’ not have occurred, and she would thereby have been sooner despatched from port, and far distant from the scene of danger when the storm occurred in which she was lost. It is an open question whother the responsi- bility for the loss can be traced home to the British government through well established principles of law; but it is a question that should be ventilated and settled. The question turns upon that of a dereliction of voyage. Had Captain Bartlett delayed, by his own act, his arrival at the scene of his disaster until the time of the storm that wrecked him—as, for in- stance, going to succor some other vessel in dis- tress, and his own ship had been subsequently lost—he would have vitiated his policy and lost his insurance. In this case the dereliction of voyage, or delay, was not voluntary with him, but was caused by an arbitary and illegal act of power on the part of a British officer ; and though this fact may save to Captain Bartlett his insurance, the main question still remains ; for why should the American underwriters have a loss forced upon them by the illegal conduct of aBritish officer, in the performance of an act in no way necessary to the safety of Great Britain or conducive to the peace of the world? If the officer were to come within the jurisdiction of our tribunals he would be sub- ject to suit and arrest; as the matter now stands, it can be settled only by the action of the two governments. As the main point of the ques- tion is settled, we doubt not this side issue will soon be determined. The other fact seems to be a cloud no bigger than a man’s hand, yet before it has passed away it will create a storm throughout the length and breadth of the land. The musty files of the State Department are to be over- hauled, and the dead claims of our citizens, drowned in the stagnant pool of diplomacy, are to be brought to light. We do not wonder that the clerks of the department com- plain that they will lose their sum- mer recreation, and that it will form the largest report ever presented to Con- gress. And yet not one in the hundred of these claims hes ever been redressed. One great result of this publication of the short-comings of our circumlocution office will be to convince the people of the trath of Pal- merston’s standing twit against our ministers, It bas often occurred that these, in discussing important questions with him, have replied, “But that is against the policy of the American government.” Quick as thought always came his ready answer, “ What is your policy? Have you a policy? I have never been able to learn what your policy is.” The peegenting of this immense report at the next session of Congress will bring home to the minds of the people the fact that in the dirty equabble for petty offices our public men have completely neglected our interests abroad, and that in fact we have no foreign policy. But we must have a policy; and the urgency of the ques- tions now pressing upon us indicate that it must be an American policy in every sense of the word. It will be one of the greatest Issues in the canvass of 1860. The country cannot again for years be carried into an excitement on domestic questions like that of Kansas in 1856. But our foreign questions are already of a grave and complicated charac- ter, and threaten to become more so, Mr. Buchanan having now settled our great question with England, must soon turn his attention to the other great questions involved in our rela- tions with Cuba, Mexico and Central America, our Isthrous transits, and the vast accumulation of the just claims of our citizens against foreign governments. Ile should be prepare! to show toon to the world that he has a foreign policy, and that it is « thoroughly American one. ACrvwn or Comrort ror Mn. Sewarv.It appears that the Illinois Republican State Con- vention, the other day, after nominating Abra- ham Lincoln, with great enthusiasm, as the pro- per person to take the seat of Mr. Douglas in the United States Senate, when his present term shall expire, proceeded to take the eontiment .of the delegates on the subject of the Presidengy, and that the Hon. W. H. Seward “received over five votes to one for any ofher candidate, and a majority of two to one over all others combined.” This is a crumb of comfort for Mr. Seward; but it is a settler for Mr. Douglas, The republicans repudiate him—the regular democracy repudi- ate him. What is to become of him? The man who invented the guillotine lost his own head by it; and such, we fear, will he the apshot of that Kansaa-Nebraska bill. Does Mr. Douglas know the way to Isindenwold?—for there ho will fird ph'locophy, cabbages and consolation, ‘The Atiantic Telegraph Enterprise. We publish elsewhere the concluding portion of our account of the preparations for the eecond attempt to lay the telegraph cable acres the Atlantic, and of the circumstances under which the company perseveres in its original design. Should the enterprise prove success ful, this narrative will at once become history of the bighest importance; should it fail, the story will etill remain a faithful picture of one of the most persevering and ingenious efforts ever made by the hand of man, It is to be presumed that the Atlantic Tele- graph fleet may be heard from by the first of next month. Should all go right, by or about that day it is possible that a message may be transmitted from London to New York; even if some accident has happened, if the cable has broken after the vessels have reached soundings of two hundred fathoms, or if, after paying out 8 certain quantity of cable, electrical communi- cation ceased, the vessels may atill arrive about let July, at their respective destinations— the one in Newfoundland, the other in Ire- land. Within a week or ten days the chances are that the public will know the trath—what- ever that may prove to be. ‘ The reasons for supposing that the expe- riment will be more successful this year than it was last may be briefly stated. The entire machinery for laying the cable was then defective—brakes, indicators and wheels; all were not what was needed; they were put on board the ships in a hurry, without trial, and naturally failed in their purpose when put to the test. This year the entire machi- nery—the fruit of experience and combined mechanical ekill—has been made with the ut- most care, and has been thoroughly tried in the Bay of Biscay. Every part is pronounced to be perfect. Last year the operation was under the charge of Mr. Bright, whose capacity for the task is generally questioned, and to whose mal- adroitness the failure of last year was ascribed. This year Mr. Bright has charge of but half the operation. He superintends on board the Aga- memnon; Mr. Everett has charge on board the Niagara. Last year, with so little caution was the work undertaken, that had the cable been laid it is almost certain that no one would have been able to send a message through it. This year this part of the question has been fully tested; and though Dr. Whitehouse’s experi- ments have not been particularly successful, Mr. Hughes, with his process, has been enabled tosend three, and—as we learn from another source—as many as seven words through the entire length of cable in a minute. In a word, men, machinery and methods have all been im- proved during the twelvemonth which has elapsed since they last endeavored to unite the two continents; it is fair to conclude that their chances of snecess are better. At the same time, and while every man’s wishes and hopes for the success of the enter- prise are so strong as to almost render it pain- ful to listen to any suggestion of doubt or diffi- culty, itis but right that a few grave obstacles should be kept in view. The first great doubt which attends the en- terprise relates to the transmissibility of the electrical fluid through two thousand miles of submerged wire. It is proved that the spark can be transmitted through this length of wire on land; but will it travel as well when this wire is at the bottom of the sea? This can only be ascertained by experiment. Previoug experiments—as, for instance, the success of the submarine wires in the Black Sea and the Medi- terranean—aefford no reliable criterion for on experiment with a wire five and ten times as long as those used in these cases. The principle can only be elicited from practice. The danger of breaking the wire is very great. No submarine wire has ever yet been laid successfully without some such accident— unless the wire to Newfoundland, which was cut, be an exception. The Mediterranean wire was broken several times before it was laid. And it was ominous that on the recent trial trip of the Atlantic telegraph fleet in the Bay of Biscay, the wire snapped very quickly. True it was a piece of old cable, known to be weak; it is to be hoped that no parts of the cable to be used this year are in the same condition, and that no oxydation has been suffered to take place. Itis also to be hoped that Mr. Bright, the late engineer of the expedition, und now the engineer of the operations on board the Agamemnon, will conduct his operations and organize his force in euch a manner as not to lay himself open toa charge of having twice defeated the aims of the expedition by his in- capacity. At any rate, a few days will now decide. If the operation fails, it lies over for another year—perbaps for another company. That it will be persevered in, in spite of failures how- ever frequent and accidents however deplora- ble—until it is an accomplished fact—there is no more room to doubt than that the sun shines overhead. Free Hyprants.—A “Citizen Taxpayer” complains with justice of the lack of frée drink- ing hydrants in the streets of the city. We quite agree with this correspondent, and second his suggestion, as well as that of Mr. Brevoort, of the police, who recommends the establish- ment of free hydrants along the river piers. There seems to be no lack of water, even at this season, when the private consumption is greater than usual; and why should not the stranger and sojourner be allowed to drink their fill? The Croton water is generally acknowledged to be the best in the world for all purposes ; and if opened to all would prevent much in- . The thirsty man who enters a public house is ashamed to ask for water, but is tempted to drink bad liquor, when, if he could find a glass of cold water in the street, he would be eatiefied. The temperance fanatics who are so anxious to keep people sober by legal enact- ments, would do well to consider this water question, Mesic Ovt or Doons—We see that the mu sicians of this city are getting up a great festi val, to commence at the Academy of Masic, and to close at Jones’ Wood. These open air festi vale are common on the Continent of Europe: and to them may be traced much of the musica! taste of the Germans and the Italians. A love of the art can only be inculcated by early familiarity with the works of the best com posers, and this is best attained by grand con- certe, which may be heard by thousands of people at a merely ngminal price of admission. From Germany the al freso concert came to England, where it has been reprodmced ona grand scale, The affair now projected here is the first of the kind ever undertaken in the United States; and if it does nothing else, it wall chow that the metropolis poseeeses as mach musical ability as any of the contiaental gitieg Joven Ecuiss, or Uran, ann rus Apmms- TRation.—The now Territorial Judge for Utah, Mr. Eokles, appears to be a specimen brick in the way of a sweeping expounder of the consti- tution and the laws. We publish this morning his charge to the Grand Jury (accompanying the army column of Gen. Johnston) upon the subject of Mormon polygamy, as the most in- genious process that has yet been discovered for the extirpation of that nuisance. Under the local laws derived from Mexioo, he says there ia one still holding good in Utah, which declares all marriages after the first illegal and void ; and that there is another law of this sort, under which Mormon polygamy is punishable by fine and imprisonment, as adultery. After thus de- claring the law, he says:—“No consequences, in which a large proportion of this people may be involved, in consequence of their criminal practices, will deter you from a fearless dis- charge of your duty. It is yours to find the facts, and to return the indietments, without fear, favor or affection, reward, or any hope thereof.” It appears that this judicial proclamation had 80 excited the Mormons “as to place the life of Gov. Cumming in jeopardy ;” and we certainly discover im this terrible charge a reasonable cause for the general stampede of the Mor- mons, wives and children, bag and bag- gage, southward.. It was not the army, but Judge CEckles, that set them in motion. Of course, the Hon. Massa Greeley is somewhat horrified at this proceeding of the radical anti-Mormon Judge and its conse- quences, and is somewhat curious to know the attitude of the administration; but we think there need be no doubt entertained by anybody upon the subject. The President’a proclama- tion to the Mormons defines his position. He does not contemplate, under Gov. Comming, the judicial extirpation of their religion or their polygamy. He only declares that they must and shall submit to the constitution and laws, not of Mexico, but of the United States. The President may feel satisfied that the removal of Brigham Young and of his subordinate Mor- mon Territorial Executive and Judical officers, and the putting of law-enforcing Gentiles in their places, will make Utah too hot for poly- gamy and rapidly dissipate it. But this policy does not embrace the charge of Judge Eckles. We have no doubt that these Mexican laws against adultery, as applicable to the Mormons, are purely a discovery of Judge Eckles, and an experiment of his, on his own responsibility, at a venture, under the general discretion allowed him by the President, We are satisfied that the able, consistent and conciliatory policy pursued by Gov. Cumming reflects faithfully the views and wishes of the administration, and that the Mexican local laws, as applied by Judge Eckles, will not be recog- nized at Washington. Tue Persia aND ovR QuaRanTINE Laws.— The attention of the British House of Commons has been called to the proceedings had in this city some weeks ago against Captain Judkins, of the steamship Persia, arising out of his strict observance of the Quarantine laws of this State and out of the offended pride of a petty Custom House official. One of the representatives of the British government in Parliament has pro- mised that the attention of her Majesty’s Minis- ters will be given te the subject, and the Eng- lish papers have taken up and discussed it, so that in all probability the affair will not be allowed to rest where it is, ‘The circumstances of the case are so recent, and were so fully detailed at the time, that it is perhaps unnecessary to recite them at length. They are briefly these: The steamship Persia, of the Cunard line, which came into this port on Tueeday night, had been, on her last preceding arrival here, boarded at Quarantine and placed for a time under the direction of the Quarantine officials. While in that condition, one of the boarding officers of the Custom House, named Denyee, visited the ship, and after making his inspection, was about to return to his boat as usual, when he was informed by Capt. Judkins that the vessel being under the operation of the quarantine laws, he could not leave without the permission of the Health Officer. The fede- ral official, who was probably as ignorant of his duties and as unfit for his position as the large mass of such officials usually are, was quite in- dignant at the idea of his freedom of action being interfered with, although Capt. Judkins directed his attention to the fact that he himself and every person on board hie vessel were forced to bow to the rules and re- strictions imposed by the quarantine laws, and that those laws superseded for the time being all othere. The Inspector having been thus de- tained on board for a few hours, until the Per- sia was discharged from quarantine, smarting under the sense of imaginary ity offered to his person and position, lod, complaint against Captain Judkins, had him arrested and brought before a police magistrate, and forced him to give bail to answer to the charge of false imprisonment. An official between Mr. Cunard and General Cass followed. Captain Judkins returned with his vessel to Liverpool, and the publication of the facts con- nected with his arrest has led to interpellations in the Britieh Parliament, and to criticiem by the English papers, of the anomalies between our State and Federal laws. During the absence of the Persia the matter came before the Grand Jury of this county, in the shape of a bill of indictment against Captain Judkins, and that body came within an ace of finding a true bill against the Captain for his strict observance of the laws of the State. But fortunately for the character of that body, it hap- pened to have among its member’ a gentleman well known in maritime and commercial circles, and one who is practically acquainted with the quarantine laws of all countries. This gentle- man, Captain Russell Glover, by his intelligent croesexamination of the witness for the prose- cution, exhibited the frivolousness of the charge, and at the same time showed the necessity of having the quarantine laws of each State tecog- nized by the general government. The bill was ignored by the Grand Jury. The conduct of Capt. Judkins was virtually approy- ed by this finding, and a salatary, and, we hope, useful lesson was read to the official whose sense of outraged dignity gave rise to the proceed- ings. But the main point still remains unset- tled, and mart so remain until Congress pass some general law recognizing the validity and superseding force of the quarantine laws of the several States. Every man of common sense must see the absolute necessity of quarantine laws being treated as supreme. Otherwise it is idle to attempt to have any quarantine at all, Even as it is, our national vessels pay due ob- servance to the quarantine laws of this and other States—ns is instanced by the case of the Sweqrehanna the gilgg day. Put while thus the efficacy of these laws is practically acknowledg- ed by the general government, a petty officer of the Custom House undertakes to disregard them, and has some legal ground for doing so in the absence of any general legislation on the sub- ject. Itisdue to commerce, it ia due to our eelf-reepect, it is due to international comity, and it is due to the proper carrying out of our quarantine system, that this defect in legisla- tion shall be remedied as speedily as possible, Tne Ricuwonp Enquirer anv Mr. Dovaras.— ‘The Richmond Hnguirer for some days past, day after day, has been stoutly fighting the battles of Mr. Senator Douglas asa good and faithful democrat, “tried and trusty,” and insists upon his full recognition as a member in good stand- ing in the regular democratic church. The Richmond South and the Charleston Mercury, on the other hand, take up their cudgels and rattle away right lustily at all these notions of the’ Enquirer, a8 rank political heresies. Who shall decide when such doctors disagree? As we understand the matter, the present de- mocratic President of the United States is re- cognized ag the visible head of the democratic national church, and the policy of his adminis- tration is accepted as the creed of the church. ‘These two points being admitted, where stands Mr. Senator Douglas? Boldly, defiantly, per- sistently without the pale of the church. It was not enough for him to stand out and resist to the death the Lecompton constitution, but he scornfully rejected the English compromise, which submits that constitution to the vote of the Kansas people—a compromise which was acceptable to half his followers in the House, in spite of his protestations against it, and which was satisfactory even to Gov. Walker. This Hngtish bill was, also, as a compromise, cheerfully adopted by the President; and now the question simply is this: shall the Pre- sident recant and go over to Mr. Douglas?—or shall Mr. Douglas submit to the majority law— the law of “popular sovereignty,” if you please—and go over to the administration ? We apprehend, from the general drift of the editorials of the Richmond Enquirer upon this subject, that Governor Wise has become incu- rably diseased with the anti-Lecompton notions and calculations of Mr. Douglas, and that the erratic Virginia Governor has taken every step but the last towards an open rupture with the administration democracy of the Union, and in favor of the Douglas seceders. What then? Against the tremendous odds of the opposition forces, what can Mr. Douglas, or Mr. Wise, or any other democrat, expect but an early politi- cal death, and the annihilation of all the odds and ends of the party, in standing out against the administration? The only hope for the de- mocracy is the common rallying point of the administratien. Thisisthe only hope of Mr. Douglas and of Gov. Wise, and it is their last chance. The administration has no favors to ask of them. It can do without them, but they cannot long survive without the helping hand of the administration. Prospect For THE SumMER CAMPAIGN OF THE Fasuions.—The general stagnant condition and aspects of the financial and commercial affairs of Europe and the United States, are by no means calculated to enceurage the idea of any very extravagant display of fast horses and crinoline at the summer resorts of fashion on either side of the Atlantic. In Europe, the solid masses of the pro- ducing people are suffering more or less from the effects of the late general revulsion, while Emperors, Kings, Queens, Courts, aristocrats, snobs and flunkeys are troubled with apprehen- sions of political quarrels, wars, conspiracies, revolts and barricades. On this side the divid- ing ocean we are straggling to recove from the crushing effects of last year’s terrible col- lapse; we are struggling hopefully; we are fast gaining on the leaks, but we are still too busy relieving the ship from the water in the hold to indulge very largely in holiday amusements until the work on hand shall have been com- pleted. We may, therefore, assume that there will not be any very surprising shipments this summer of American tourists to Paris, the Rhine, the Alps, and the curiosities of Rome and Naples; nor any very overwhelming congregations of Pleasure seekers at our own watering places. But for all this, let our landlords at these fashiona- ble resorts adapt their accommodations and their charges to “suit the times,” according to the general rule of the mercantile and financial world, and they may bring up a fair balance eheet at the end of the season, from the gain of many customere, who, under brighter financial skies, would be off to the pleasures of Paris, the sublimities of Switzerland, and the beauties of g ‘Tim Orms.— Sappho” was sung for the second time at the Academy of Music last evening with the samo cast as before.
