The closing scenes of the Thirty-fifth Congress, which terminated at noon yesterday, are graphically described im our telegraphic reports and special despatches, to which our readers are referred. The amendment to the Miscellaneous Appropriation bill, providing for a reissue of twenty million dol- Jars of Treasury notes, passed both houses, and all the appropriation bills were passed, except the one providing for the expenses of the Post Office De partment. The President will, it is stated, confer with the Postmaster General, and if the latter de- cides that he cannot carry on the business of his department with the available means at his dispo- sal, an extra session of Congress will be called. The ext:aordiuary session of the Senate commenced yesterday, but nothing of importance was done, The proceedings of the Legislature yesterday were important. Inthe Senate the report of the special commitee appointed to inquire into the workings of the Metropolitan Police system was presented. We give this document. in another column; and the statements and revelations made therein relative to the corruptions and immoralities brought to light, will astonish all parties. A bill Was introduced in the Assembly to amend the charter of the city. It largely increases the powers of the Comptroller, by creating the office of Deputy Comptroller and bureaus of taxes and as- sesstients, of collection of assessments, of supplies, and for the payment of moneys on warrants; it also makes an executive depurtment under the Comp. troller, 18 be called the Strect Department, for re- pairs of streets, &c.—and in fact places nearly all the patronage and power worth having in the bands of Mr. Haws, the present republican Comptrolier. Our advices from Mexico show that the British and French Consuls at Tampico had humiliated General Garza in a. most signal manner at that place. He was compelled to sign a convention by which he agreed to tarn out all the troops under this command, hoist the English and Freuch flags to an equal height, and salute them with forty-two guns. Meantime the two Consuls and all the officers of the united squadrens were to land, occupy the place of honor, and then leave without return- ing the salnte. General Wheat had been commis. wioned by General Alvarez a general of artillery Juarez's friends were sanguine that he would sns- tain himself at Vera Craz. Echeagaray had, it wa said, pronounced against Miramon at Puebla. Vidaurri seemed very sore on the subject of his late defeat by Miramon, and endeavored to throw the blame on Mr. Jordan, an Englishman, wh> served as colonel of artillery, and was second in command under him. Mr. Jordan had been im- prisoned, but was admitted to bail. Anarchy, in- trigue, corruption, and insecurity for life or pro- perty prevailed at all points, as described ia our letters from Monterey. Our correspondent at Ponce, Porto Rico, writ ing on the 12th ultimo, states that the leading planters there in league with the Captain General had lately made up a joint stock fund for the pur- chase of negroes in Africa and their importation and distrivution on profitable joint stock princi- ples. On the 5th ultimo a brig with 850 Africans was driven ashore, when the negroes were taken off and locked up in different places previous to their so called imprisonment. The Whig General Committee held a regular monthly meeting last night. Abram N. Bininger, E. H. Brown, W. H. Faulkner, 8. L. Hutchins and James W, Barker were appointed a finance commit- tee. Delegates were admitted to fill vacancies in Eleventh and Sixteenth wards. Letters were re- ceived from Danicl D. Barnard, of Albany, and Wm. A. Graham, of North Carolina, expressing their views on the party issues of the day, and recom- mending the organization of State central com- mittees throughout the Union, and to be united on @ plan of action fully setting forth the platform and principles of the whig party. They pronounce themselves whigs, and recognise no other party. The annual commencement of the New York University took place last evening, when the de- gree of Doctor of Medicine and Bachelor of Law was conferred by the Chancellor on a number of graduates of the institution. The cotton market continued to rule firm yesterday, wit ies of 3,500 bales, about 2,000 of which were sold in trausit, closing firm without further change in prices. Flour was active and firmer, with free gales, especially of Btate and Western, st highest prices for some grades. Fouthern brands wero also firmer, while sales were soma- what ices active. Wheat was quite steady, with moro doing, the chief transactions being in Woetern red and white, ot full prices. Corn was more active and irmer: new yellow Jersey and Southern sold at 84c. a 86 }<c., Western mixed at 87¢., and old Southern white at 88c, Pork was lese buoyant, but more active, with gales of ew mess at $17 95 a $18, old do, at $17 60, and prime Bt $13 25. Sugare were steady, with sales of about 600 bbhds., including New Orleans and Cabaz, at rates given in another column. Coffee was quiet and gales jimited, while prices were firm. The Roanoke, from Rio, arrived yeeterday, with a cargo of about 4,400 bags. Freights were steady, but engagemonts were moderate, A New Preswentit Riva, or W. H. Sewarn—Mr. Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylva- nia, an out-and-out black republican, has at last done something which may overshadow the Jaurels of W. 1. Seward as a Presidential aspi- rant; for to Mr. Grow belongs the glory of de- feating the Post Office bill upon that constitu- tional revenue point raised against the Senate upon that Senate amendment increasing the letter postage from three to five cents, Thus, with the aid of Senator Broderick, Mr. Grow has retained to the people their three cent letter postage. Let Seward look to his Rochester manifoeto, or Grow may grow too strong for him, Should Mr. Grow be nominated as the cheap postage republican candidate for President, Davy Broderick, by all means, should be placed on the fame ticket for Vice President.

From the reading of the President's Message, on the first day of the Jong session, to the closing hour of the last day of the short session, the measures of the administration, and the appro- priations necessary to carry on the government, have depended, more or less, upon the balance of power possessed by the opposition from the dissensions and divisions upon great things and small things among the President making cliques of the democratic majority.

Almost every rule and made by the Commissiouers for the government of the organization have becn violated by th men and officers of the department, and as your commitico belicye, ia very many justances with the knowledge of the com- missioner, who have taken no notice of such violations for the reason perbaps that they had set the example by themselves open'y viowtiog many of the provisions of the Metropolitan Police law. It was proven before your com- mittee that many thefts had been committed by members of the police, amounting in several instancea to grand ceny, bone of which, so far as we couid ascertain, werd poniehed or prosecuted; property belonging to members of the force has frequently been stolen from the gtation houses, while an officer committed a larceny in Brookiya, which was clearly preven upon bim; yet ho was never punished in any way except that he was allowed te resiga from the department. MEMBERS OF THE FORCE DRUNKARDS, BROTURL KEEPERS, RIO, Members of the force, officers as well as Patroimen, aro in the habit of frequenting houses of ill-fame when gober as well as when drunk, of borrowing money of the keepers and ill-treating and abusing the inmates. The mocey bor- rowed of these pcople is returned or not, at the couveni- ence of the men who compel the prostitutes to lond it, It was in proof before the committee thata member of the lice force stole a valuable watch from the Nicaraguan Mi- nister on board the Oregon steamboat, while she was used aga receiving ship for pastengers arriving at Quaran- tine. The thief was caught, confessed his crime, and was allowed to remain in the department. The concurring tes timopy of eeveral respectable witnesses estab, the fact that the Harbor Police at the sub-station on Staten Island, consisting of fifteen men, wero utterly inefficient and worthless; that leven of the fiftcen aro habitual drunkards; that they were frequent visiters of a house of ill fame of the commonest degeription, the keeper of which was a special policeman, aud his barkeepers also. Thora ‘would seem to be no reasonable doubt that Ls and ordinary diligenco on the part of the police wot have prevented the ‘disastrous conflagration at Quarantine on the Ist and 2d of September, 1858. ‘THE BURNING OF QUARANTINE CHARGRANLY TO THE NEGLHCT O ‘THY POLICE. Your committee donot allege culpable remiasness of negligence on tho rurt of any particular villcer of the de- partment, but wien the circumstances of the case are ail considered, the short distance of the scene of the outrage from the city of Now York, the facility and rapidity with which an adequate force could have been transported to the island, and the means of easy and constant communi- cation between the two ees, itis impossible to supposa. that the department could have remained in ignorance of the actual condition of things at Quarantine, as the hostile intention of the incendiaries wag notorious in the city. ‘The negligence which permitted the second buraing is more indefensible still, The responsibility rests upon the —_ committee regard the py of Goneral Superin- tendent Talimadge as pre ergo hincce to give it in full.

The appropriation in the tax levy for the support of the department for 1858 in the city of Now rk was $888,545 60, making an increase for 1858 over. 1857 of $63,048.60, to which should be added the deticiency of 1868 of $137%226 25, thereby showing the cost of tha police of the city of New York to have been $200,274 85 moro in 1868 than the amount levied for its sapport im 1857. Tho de ent will reqnire an assessment of $1,234,898 upon the taxpayers of New York for its support for 1859, or $315,749 $0 moro than the levy of 1868, and $408,898 40 more than tha appropriation for 1857. But if the department is to bo managed with the samo looseness and profligacy that hayo characterized it since its organization, thero ond be no an- ticipating theexpense for 1859, a3 an examination of the accounts and hooks of the Metropolitan Police Com auesion- ers shows a deficioney at the end of the 1858 of $137,220 25. The Commissioners, for noma renien best known to themselves, have mado an estimate in their’ etatement tothe Ey Musa showing thatthe de- \ ficiency for 1858 was but 515. Tho dilurence betweeu tho estimate of the Commissioners in relation to the de- ficiency for 1858, and that shown by your committee, arises from the fact that the Commissioners have either intended to deceive the taxpayers, or through their in- capacity to discharge their dutics owing to their ignorance of the true state of the finances of the organization, have made the mistake as shown between their figures and thor of your committee. Your committes also find the exponse Of the department in the city of Brooklyn, un- der the managemont of the Police Uommissioners, witt the same number of men, to bo $83,867 18 more per an- num than it cost for the support of this branch of the government of tha teity prior to the passago of tho Metro- politan Police law, The citizena of that city aro unanimously in favor of being released from this unjust assessment, for pe. Pare ment of which, up to this time, tl ‘have rocei' no benefit; inasmuch as the duties of department have been performed by nearly the same men as they wero vious to the paseage of the Metropolitan Police law. Tho enormous expense connected with the support of tho Ma- tropolitan Pollee Department need not surprisethe public, when they find that the Commissioners bave beon in the habit of paying from tho funds of the organization large Pd % money, in direct violation of Metropolitan aw. CARRIAGE IRR AND STATIONRRY-<RATRAVACANCE AND Ie CTRASK OF HALY A MILLION OF DOLLARS OF EXPENSE, The sum of $1,863 81, paid for carriage hire to com. vey the Commissioners from their residences to tho head. quarters of the department in Broome street, and for va» Pious other unauthorized purposes, ie in the optaion of your commiitiee in violation of the organic Iaw of the de partment and an outrage upon the taxpayors.

It is owing ~ntirely to travagance of te Coensaiee coigh sponses ef ia nization: we been ing, million of dollars more than wo.3 lovicd wud coloated ted uecese: force. Michae! Berry, a patrolman in the Fourteenth precinct, swears that be agreed to pay to ex. Judge Beebe $50 for getting him reinstated in the police; that he paid part of the money, and intended to pay tne balance remai © unpaid, and tbat he owed bis reinstatement to the fluence of said Beebe. OTUBK BROKERS IN THE BUSINESS, A number of peep Dene Lapeer the commit- tee a bill, of whi ¢ following is a specimen:— - New Yonx, Sept. 18, 1858. Mx. Jous J. Niosort, to Berns, Dean anv Donauve, Dr. To fee getting reinstated on Metropolitan police, ' $50 00 Received payment, Roger Juége, one of the men who gave money to Quinn to procure his appointment, swore as follows:— Nye told me, ia the presence of Quinn, that he would appoint me; we were going togive it up asa bad job, when Quinn took us to see Gen. Nye; we saw Quinn talk- ing to Nye, and presentiy come out of the inner room to us; alter taiking awhile be said ho was rather in a hurry or be would appoint us at once, but if we would wait a day or two he would put us on; Quinn qas standing by at the time. Jobn Miller, a member of the force, swears that he carried a note from Judge Beebe to Commissioner Bowen, who, upon reading it, told him he could be reappointed. Miller was reappointed, and subsequently Beobe told him he should expect $50 for his services. Miller paid Beebe $20, took a receipt for it, and said he intended to pay the balance of the $50; a patrolman pad Quinn $200 for se- curing his appointment, which be didn’t receive until he had paid the whole $200. The testimony on this point is ample and conclusive. It seems unnecessary to go further into the subicct, nor will the committee ander- take to eny bow far the Commissioners or any of them aro implicated in these corrupt transactions. The fact that money has been constantly used to procure the ap. pointments of men cn the police ig undeniable, and there would seem to be no reagon to doubt that this fact wag within the knowledge of Commissioners. Scnators must draw their own conclusions as to the complicity of those gentlemen. Jt was impossible to ascertain whether the Toney £0 extorted was expended for political purposes, or applied to the use of the men who received it. THE POLUCE FORCE A MERE PARTY MACHINE=GBNERAL NYE A POLITICAL HACK, In the opinion of your committe one of the most for- midable obstactes to the salutary workings of the new system was the purely partigan character of the persons appointed in the commission. The law was an innovation calculated from its nature to create distrust and alarm in the minds of the people of the district. It was, there- fore, the more important that the commission should be 80 composed ag to afford an assurance to them that n sinister or unworthy objects had been contemp! in its enactment. Gentiomen of high character, fami. liar with the condition and wants of the city, and haying no connection with Fy A Politics, should have nm gelected to carry t law into execution. What was the course adopted by the Executive of tho State in organizing the commission, and what has been done by the men whom he entrusted with a responsibility 80 vast and comprehensive? Who did he place at the head of tho Commissioners? Not a well known New Yorker, of rere ie and experiences in the affairs of the city, uncontaminated by debasing party associations, in whose ability and faithfulnese tho whole community wonld have reposed implicit confidence; not a New York. er atall, but a lawyer from the country, a Page tomy by rofession, a needy partisan, whose thiret for offlce has een proverbial for ycars—a man who bad no frmpetty with the city of New York, and whose limited acquain ance with ieee affairs has not been of a character to fit i for the responsible duties of tho post of Commis- sioner. Your committee desire to do no injustice to Gen. Nye; they concede to him all the merit that his candid frienJ3 may Claim for him; but his special and utter unfitness for the hed@ of the Metropolitan Police is notorious and unde- niable. Messrs. Draper and Bowen are New Yorkers, to be sure, with many qualifications for the post to which they had been appointed; but they had long becn distin- guished above their fellows as bitter partisans, and their Appointment, together with that of Mr. Stranaban, of Brook- lyn, in connection with that of Mr. Nye, staimped the fetrogolitan Police act as a political eme, contrived only with reference to the advantage of the party then in power. The fact stands confessed, and no fair minded man can entertain a doubt on the subject. THR CONSEQUENCE O¥ MAKING THB POLICE A POLITICAL ENGINE. And what has been the effect of organizing this vast ma- chine as a party KG rosaey Exactly what every man of ordinary sogacity foresaw from the outset, ‘the proof of which has been ~ out of reluctant witnesses by your committee—an inefficient and corrupt police; in- competent and unworthy men buying places in the force; contributions levied upow members for political purj H constant violation of law and disregard of the Files of the Board by officers and men; officers unnecessarily in- creaged without a colorable pretence of authority under the statute; the cost of the police my, augmented; crime on’ the increase in the city, while detections aro more unfrequent; felonies and misdemeanors committed with impunity by the force, and a general sense of inse- curity, both as to property and life, painful to wit 5 ‘This hasty reswmé embraces but a part of the disastrous consequences of attempting to make a mere party machine of the Metropolitan’ Police. Your committee might enu- merate, but if these are sustained by adequate testimony: it would seem that he must be a bold man who would stand up and undertake to defend this system, THE HOUSE AND LOT TO GRNERAL NYB. Your committce find some difficulty in treating the sub- Ject of the alleged “testimonial” to General Nye. ‘The facts of the case, so far as they were disclosed by the wit- nesses examined on the point, were as followa:—A con- siderable sum of money was raised by the members of the police for the avowed purpose of Femmnting General Nye with some substantial evidence of the respect, attach- ment or gratitude of the men employed in the Police De- partment—some of the witnesses spoke of it as iutending to compensate bim for his professional services in behaif of members of the department, aT cn the de- sign to be to propitiate his geod will is certain indi- viduals who led his official influenco to retain them in the department. The motive of the donors we will not undertake to deflue; but it is evident on its face that tho contribution was not @ spontaneous disinterested demonstration, mavy of the men subscribing with reluctance, only from the apprehension of jarious: consequences to themselves if they should refuse, whiie others declined to pay their money for any such purpose, After a part of the sum was secured, and before the whola amount waa subgcribed, the matter became the subject of newspaper discussion, and the echeme was abandoned for the time; subsequently it was revived, and a still larger sum raised, and at the time your committee commenced its investigation the affair seoms to have been under good headway; but it was again arroeted in this Instance by the sittings of the committee, as it had before by the hue and ery of the public papere. Capt. Coulter, of the Twenty- second inet, was made the treasurer, tho monoy be- ing into his hands; officers of the force went to look ‘at the house now occupied by Gen. Nye, aud were told by one or more of them that that was the houso which they intended to purchase for him. The honso is on Twonty- fourth street. It was built by a man named Bulkley, who sold it to John V. Gridley. ipt. Coulter swears that heag treasurer of the fund collected for the Nye testimonial, and a8 such paid Gridley a considerable sum of money in trust, he giving Coulter a rece! for the same. Coulter swears that the captains hold a mecting and decided on raising money to pay Gen. Nye for professional services. When the money was raised it was to be paid to Gen, Nye; that Nye would not accept it, because the papers hue and cry about it, aud said he would not have any monial; that he doposited the money in trust with Gridley; that he selected Gridley to hold ‘the money without advice from anybody, simply becanse he was acquainted with him and wanted the money to be kept in a fund to pay ig p services rendered the departmeut by Nye; that he conversed with Nye about purchasing 2 house and lot for him, and that Gen. Nye said be would not have it; that the ane was deposited with Gridley for Nye if he would take it; thathe (Coulter) tock no acknowledgment from Gridley except a simple receipt for the ammount; and in the event of his (oultor's) death bis {atpily would have no means of recovering the money from Gridley. He consulted with e3 about purchasing @ houve and lot for Gen, Nye with the mon > that he spoke with Gridiey about purchasing the house in which Gen, Nye now fives; that be has no papers or documents in his possession which would show that this money js in Gridley’s handa, tobe drawn on his (Coulter's) order; that he thiuks Ald. Wilmot was present when he made one payment to Gridley. This Ald. Wilmot is the man of whom Nye swears be hires the house in which he now lives.
