WIS QUALITIRS AS A LINGUIST, A BPORYGMAN, DI PLOMATIST AND FRIENDLY ALLY. (Frem the Loodon Herald (Far! Derby’e organ), May 11.] ‘The writer of a leading wrticle published in the Lonvon News indulges iu various misrepresentations respecting the French ambassador who bag so recently quitted our shores, au our intention to take an carly opportunity of expressing the deep regret we experience at the departure of the tried soldier who #o gailantly fought et the gide of our own bi troops in the Crimea, amd who has so worthily represented his sovereign and hig country amon, us during the last twelve montbs; aud we ceriainly never fora moment imagined tbat his departure could have excited apy other feelings in the mmds of Englishmen than those of ‘vincere regres, As our contemporary, however, viows the matter in a cilferont, and in what We rust aliirm to be an unfeir light, we can no longer keep silence. Not oply are the Duke of Malakoft’s feelings toward# this country misrepresented, but binta are thrown out (bat he did not eficiently perform the duties entrusted to him by the Emperor of the, Freneb; aud wo cousider it incum- bent upon ug, in the maintenance of trutb, to point out the fallacious character of these charges, by showing the manner in which the Marshal executed his various ant important duties, and the anxiety be dirplayed to identify himself most fully with the Engilgh nation. Our coutemporary’s principal complaint against tho Duke of Maleko® is bis assumed inability to speak our language. Flac the writer of the article question en- Joyed the privilego of acquaintance and intercourse with the Marshal he could searcely have fallen into this error. ‘The truth is, tbat the b rpm oficer earnestly endoayorea to employ the Englich language ae the medium of couver- tation with bie friends, and mere landable attempts at epeaking the ame might have been heard from his mouth tban from scores of French dipiomatists who have dwett amongst vz. In frot, those who knew the Marshal will acmit that Se spoke Exglish os well as any French Ambas- bacor whom we bave had the honer to receive for some time. Hud our contemporary geen the Duke of MalakoiT when on a visit in the country, and marked aot only the keen interest which he ciaplayed in those sports and amusements peculiarly English, Sut the hearty macaer in which he entered into Use game, be must have arrived at @ very opposite conclusios to that expressed in the article the mistakes of which we are conetrained to correct. If, on the oiber hand, we direct our atteution to the Way in which the Duke fuliiJed the duties entrusted to him, and which the writer of the article states he was never intended to perform, we are again compelled to chaliengo ihe opinions expressed. We declare, without fear of contradiction, that no diplomatiet in this country wes more regular in transacting the business of his emi- bersy, and tay add that wih no Minister could the treneaction of business have possibly been a more agree. able task. Every act of bis hfe showed the genuine character of the frienéship which he always expressed towards the English nation, In both language ana pol cy ke proved his anxiety for the ma‘ntenance of the English aliance, and neither in word nor in deed did the late ain- bessador betray the least incousistency. It can scarcely be necessary for us to answer tbe com- ments of our Contemporary on what be terme the Mar- ahal’s age towards England and our oountrymen, The Duke's constant theme of conversation, and ove on which he spoke with genuino enthusiasm, was the praise of what be termed * his good allies, his brotbren in arme,” of tae Crimean campaign, These brethren he always mentioned with affection apd respect. Rongh the old soldier may have been, but his hogrt was in the right piace, Our gallant seliors whe last year ook the Marspal roourg witnessed the affectionate manner in which he greeied bis old companion in arma, the late Lord Lyet There aro many who know how eagerly, on bis fre arrival in this country, the Duke of Malakot! eougbt out the relatives of his lamented friend, Lord Raglan. Nor will tt be forgotten that to a dear relation of that esteemed soldier the Marshal said, “I so loved my brother, Lord Raglan, ibat if he has left a dog behind him I will love that dog for his snke.’’ That was the real expression of a soldier’s admiration, and we regret that one who appreciated England so well, aud who perforraed his Cuties g0 efficiently, should bave beou thus misrepre- sented by an organ of ‘the English prees. We deoply re- grot the departure from these shores of the Duke of Mala- Koil, and we fee! comvinced that be carries with him the aiecliovate regards of all tuose with whom either daty, social tutercourse or accident brought him in contact. France certainly hes seldom been beiter represented than by this honest, truth Loving soldier, and England never had a more devoted friend. THE VERY LATEST.

There was @ meeting of the Commissioners of Health yesterday. Our readers will recollect that on Wednesday lavt the Mayor and Comptroller were requested by a resolution of the Board to take into consideration the subjcct of clean- ing the streets and removing night soil, in view of tho dis- organized condition of the City Inspector’s Departmont. The Mayor reported today that, after investigating the matter, be was satisfied that it was his right and duty, under tho cberter, to take the matter in his own hands an: operate through the City Inspector’s Department. Far- ther, that arrangements were now in progress by which the work will be commenced immediately. A proposition was recetved from Mr. Olney to do the work of street cleaning and removing night soil, until the 1st of January bext, at the rate of $30,000 per year, Tho work bas latierly cost the city $65,000 a year. ‘The matter was referred to the Mayor. Dr, Guy reported tbe arrival of the bark Amelia, from Rio, alter sixty days passege, Sho had sickness on board in that port, but ali were well on arrival. It was ordered that she be allowed to como up to morrow, On Saturday complaint was made of a slanghter hovso ip Mott street, and the subject was referred te Dr. Rock- well sad Mr. Carneii for investigation. Dr. Rockwell re- ported 10-day that ho visited the placo on Saturday after: noon, and that the establishment was a public nuisance. Sinco his visit, however, it had been cloaned out, but re- pairs were etl! necessary, Tho enbject was referred ack to the committee, with power to make the necessary repairs.

RESPONSIDILITIES AGREED UPON BETWEEN THR MAYOR, COMPTROLLER, AND SUPERINTENDENT OF STREET CLEANING, ‘Tho position of the several parties in the City Inspoo- tership controversy has today reached a more positive developement, anc will henceforth be better underetoed. Up to tho decieion declaring the office to be vacant, Mr. Morton was supposed to be the great obstacle and causo of mizehief, When that decision was renderad, Mr. Mor- ton’s counsel immodiately repowed the same tender of submiseion (o tho will of Mayor Tiemann which Mr. Mor- ton himself bad repeatedly made to the Mayor in person.

MEETING OF THK ALDEKMANIC COMMITTER ON SYREETS—ARGUMPNTS aOR AND AGaINST THE YROPOSED WIDENING OF NASSAU STKBET, ETC. The Aldermanic Commitee on Streets held an adjourn ed moetiog yeeterday afternoon to bear furtber reasons for and againet the opening of Naseau street. At and even before the time appointed for the mecting a large umber of property owners in the street aud other par- ‘Nes interested were in atteudance, the far greater portion of them being earnestly opposed to the alteration of the street. Alderman Boort, the chairman of the committee, un. folded © map, which be said was made two years ago when the matter was some time before the Common Coun. cil, and which was taken by @ surveyer appoint: 1 ot the time for that purpose. This map illustrated a plan for opening the street twenty-live feet on is western side from liberty to Beekman street. The Alderman said that the committe are in favor of opening tho street, but without binding themselves to agy particalar plan, their desire being to fuit he views of a& many property owa. Gre on the Strcet as possible, The Clerk was then cirected to read the petition calling for the opening of the etreet, which he did. The petition ‘Sets forth that the widening of tne street would be a re- lief to Broadway by creating a new avenue.of tra that it would be ® convenience to she public generally, and e®peciaily those doing business and owning property down town. The petiion was signed by eget or ven Dames, some of whom it is denied ewn any property on the street. Itis remarkable that the petition called for tas opening of the etreet ‘on the eoutherly eide,” though it tends north and eouth. The committee stated they were now roady to hear what partice adverse to the widening of the etroet had to say, Ke. ‘Mxzsp, who owns considerable property on Nassau strect, said, if the street ig to be opened, it would be well to make those who should pay the expenses pay them. If it 18 to be opened for the public venelit, he thought it un fair that those residing along tho tine of tho etreet should have to bear the expenses. If the public throughout the whole city are made t pay for the wideuing, be would not have So many objections to offer, but if only @ very smal! portion baye the burthen to bear, he is decidedly against it ‘Mr. Warrick stated that be owns provekty. oa Naszau atrcet to the amount of $200,000. He said, however the Brnatp or any newspaper might represent the matter, he Was in favor of openiog the sirect. He cared not how the Property owners op the street might be aifocted if the public were benefitted, nor how much avy ono lost or gained if the same object was accomplished. Ho gaid Nogsan street was uot wide epeugh for people to go to their buaibess in it.. “I,” continued he, “cangot get to my business there without crushing myself alongs Thestreet is not wide enough for me.” (Laughter, probably owing to the fact that Mr. Whitlock is inconvenlently corpaient.) “My property is on the corner of Nassau and streets, and it js as much ag I can do to get there.” (Re. Naaean newed laughter.) on pucad Mr. Walt Mr. Faxsnaw, another owner of street, said be kpew the reasons that i leek to be in favor of the improvement. About two yenrs aro he leased covsiderable property ia Nassau Street for five years, and no doubt if toe atreet was widened and his property disturbed, he would demand a largo compeneration for his loage, and this would perfectiy satisfy bin. It was when Mr, Whitlock leased this property, and not till thon, that this agitation about the Widening of Nagsau strect wae raiged. The speaker hero presented a dingram of the property rented by Mr. Wait lock, which the latter pusbed back to bim again, stating that he had purchased the property, and consequently his diagrain was useless, us his mterest ia it is entirely 4il- ferent trom what he had represented. Mr. Fanshaw added that nine-tenthe of the owners of property on Nag au street are most decidedly averse to having any change made in that thoroughfare, and that if tao commitiee allowed them sufficient time they would prove it by a re monstrance having their signatures attached to it. Mr. M. Van said he came there to represent the interest of Mr. Fuller’s property and taai of others on Nagran streot, He declared himself op- posed to the widening of tho street alwgether, argued that unless two-thirds at least of the property owners on the line of @ street are in favor of ‘What i6 termed an improvement, the Common Couneii could vot have it carried out. — To this cage, however, ho felt convinced that more than two-thirds of the Bolders aud owners of property on Natsan street are eppored to the improvement, Be was of opinion that tae commutes shovle teke no action until they fully understand the do five of the property owners, for if they took 2 false step it would onty entail useless expense to be contesting 1 afierwarcs im the Snpreme Court, where the subject would then be transferred, He stated that the opening of the western aide of the street wauld entirely remove the property of two infants which he represents, and be expressed the opinion that if the street were widened it would never pay ner compensate for the destruction of valuable property—"* it is not an avenue for the city gene- rally, por ¢ ever become one, because it does noy row from 01 end of the town to the other tik Broadwa: Who knows when the Post Office msy be removed up town, like mavy bance sud other places of business ? Nassaz street never can be made to reliove the trarel ou Broalway much more than it does now, and it should be remem bered that it is tho very travel that ts now complained of Which makes Broadway what it is. ¥r. Davis, also owning property on Nassau strect, was of opinion that it would be useless to wideu Noasau street as far as Deekmen,and then teave a neck there which would orly permit the same amount of travel to pars into the wide portion of the street as now passes through i¢ in its present condition. Yais would be incurring Fast expence to no purpose. If the street ig to be opencd at all, be is desirous of knowing who wili bear the expense. If it is only to be partially epencd ns far ag Beckman street, no good is accompiished, for it nover will in that case become a greater thoroughfare than it is; and if it is to be opened throughout the expense would be so great that it could scarcely be attempied. Mr. Mean said if the street ts to be opened for a public thorowghfure the city should bear the expense, and if it is to be opened ior private interests the Common Cowncii have no authority in the matter, ‘Cnaimsax—The Common Council has authority to order any street: improvement they see fit. if any one objects ‘they can fiod their reme: the courts, Mr. O. Busawnu, thought that they were all groping their way in the dark before the committee; for i they have a feeling to report in favor of opening it, it will be impossible to overcome it by any reason. This subject, he said, was important to many, to every penny in their pockets whieh they have rpent their lives in accumulat- ing. We have bad one adjournment, and [ think, a3 the muutter ig £0 important, we should have another. There are Many oppesed to it who have not yet had an opportu- Dity of expressing their views and objections. Mr. Wautvock aid pot consider it necessary to widen tho strect above Boeckman, ag that street would be an outict svfliciently commodious to answer all tho requirements at that point. He thinks it would bo well to have the east- ern gide widened a iiitle as fares Maiden iane from Liver- ty street, then the western side from Maidea lane to Becker strect; bul he gave no tangible reason for fa Voring this project. Bre Davtshwoul 1 like the matter to be settled as soon as esibie, for be intends to put up @ marble bank tike the wk of Commerce, on a let ho holds in Nassan street. Be knows, however, that ninety-niue ont of every hun- dred of the owners of property on the street are opposed to the widening; and, notwithstanding this, he coald sec from tho remarks of Alcorman Boole that the committoo would report in favor of th. Mr, Var—The committee should know before they take action whether the courts will euetain them or not, At this stage of the proceediogs the comunittee adjourn- od, étating that thoir present meeting was their last public Ove in reference to this subject. Alderman Boore aided, however, that the matter would be kept pending in the Common Council a sufiivient time to aliow of the present: tng of any remonstrance that might be sent in againet tho adoption of the course which the committee might recom. mend. ‘Tho meeting then adjourned, Wartack’s Taeatre. —Mr. John Dyott, an old time me- tropolitan favorite, taker his benefit to night, when tho “Rivate’” is to be given with a fine cast—Lester, Brougham, Walcot, Mrs. Hoey, Mrs. Vernon, &., &¢.

The telegraphic announcement yesterday, from New Orleans, of the arrival of Gen. Walker at Acapnico, wif attract considerabie attention to that resowned filibuster,’ Itoceurred to us, therefore, that a sketch of his move- ments since his arrest by Commodore Paulding woukl prove interesting, Having surrendered to the United States’ squadron “ab Punta Arenas, Dec, 7, 1867, Gen. Walker wae allowed liberty op parole, and arrived at this port om the matt steamer, Deo. 27, being still @ prisoner of State, by direce on of Commodore Paulding. Oa the following day ba presented bimeelf a& the office of United States Marshal Rynders, and surrendered himsc!f as a prisoner.” But the Marshal, baving uo orders on the subject, ad vised bim (0 proceed w Washington, which he accora! y did, aod on the following day, the 29th, preseniod himself to Gea Cass, at Washington, a8 @ prisoner. But the Secretary informed him that he bad no directlous whatever to give, as the Judiciary was the proper source from which action should proceed, and so Mr. Walker was at liberty to depart where he ebose, Ha remained in Washington, however, until the 10th of Janus ary, durirg the long debate in Congress, which took piace during bie stay, as to the conduct of Commodore Paulding ja causing bis arrest, Meanwhile, the preparations a6 Mobile, aided by sympathy and material aid from differeng parts of the South, had been made for another filibuster’ expedition, and reports were circulated that Waiker’a boads, to the amount of $100 cach, payavle io Nicaragua Jands in twenty years, flooded the South, On the 1éth of January, 1858, we find Mr. Walker af Richmond, Va.,oa his way South, enjoywg the complie mentof @ public dincer at the American Hotel, tendered, bim by prominent citizens, among whom were Janes A.. Seddon, Wm. H. Ambler, Speaker of the Virginia Senate ©, M, Crutebfield, Speaker of the House; a number @ metabere of the House, and Mr. Roger A. Pryor, now © Wasbington editor; ail of whom made speeches deuoune- ing the arrest of General Walker by Commodore, Paulding ag an outrage. On the 234 of January General Walker arrived at Mow bile and received @ national salute, the hospitalities of tha city, and a warm reception generally; among other things being arrested on an order from the United States Court at New Orleans, but subsequently set ab liberty. During hia stay at Mobile he was surrounded by friends, and the arrangemonia for the contemplated. Nicaraguan emighation continued rapidly, though the day’ previous to his arrival thirty-nine of the men and six of the officers arrested by order of Com, Pauiding, and wha had arrived at Mobile, were arrested there, On the 28th of January a large and enthusiastic meeting of filibueters was held st Mobile, being addreesed by Gen. Walker and Parson Brownlew. {: was at this meeting that Walker made the allegation, for which he wis mack ridiculed, that the seeret of the government opposition to him was bcause he bad refused to tara his attention ta Mexioo, « On tho ist of February Gen. Walker presented himself vetore the United States Court at Now Orleans, and wag informed that there wes no charge against him, as the Grand Jury had refused to find a bill. Ho then asked to be put om trial “for a violation of the neutrality laws,’? which was also refused, as the District Attorney destined to act without instructions to that effect from Washington, Gen. Walker left the next day for Nashville, Tenn., on @ ‘init to hits father, On the 4th of February General Walker, who had beem apparently #0 aux ions to bo indicted, was gratified by tha performanoe of that duty by the Grand Jury of the New Crieans United States District Court, for a violation of tha neutrality laws, and ordered to appear for trial in April. Bo remained for some daye in New Orleans at this time, and was, in company with Generai enniogsen, enter- tained on board the famous yacht Wanderer on the 6th of March. Our next recor’ of the General is in the shape of g pithy note to Senator Slidell, ioforming that gentlemag that be (General Walker) considered the Senator’s specck, in relation to him as foliows: “ite ine‘nuations are as fa'sa ag its facts are groundless.” We did net hear thag any sanguipary conflict followed this beliicose misaiye. Mr. Walker’s next appearance is in the shape of a letter to the editor of @ Mobile paper, in which he renows tha assertion of the government's desire for bia to turn hig attention to Mexico, and gives a preten¢ed conversation between General Henningsen sod Secretary Cass as tha foundation of the ebarge. We have next, on September 21, a report that General Walker had left for California from thig port, on the Star of the West, accompanied by Colonel Byeno Natzmer; but this could hardly be corrects a8 we And him on November 13 at Mobile, arranging for the departure of Anderson and his party on the famous “peaceful emigration to Nicaragua” scheme. ‘With the excitement in Mobile about this time by the stoppage of the bark Alice Tainter and her cargo, and tha troubles whieh continued until the 26th; the fina! escapa of the Mlibustors in another vessel, and the lackless ter- mination of the expedition, by being wrecked on the coast of Honduras, our readers are familiar. Walker, as ig well known, did not risk himeeif on the expedition, bug eaddenly disappeared from Mobile on the 20th of Novem~ ver, jeaving the emigrants to get slong as best thoy could. Gen. Walker turned up again on the $4 of December, be- fore the Grand Jury of New Orleans, but we find no re- cord of the reeult, On the 27th and 20th of the sama month he was examined as a witness, by commission, im Mobile, i the case of McDonald va. Garrizon & Morgan, at which time he declared that he did not consider himsel® @ citizen of the United States. General Walker’s next appearance is in a now phase— that of bis admigsion into the Catholic Church, which occur- red in Mobile, December 31. The Cutholic cathedral wast crowded. The venerable Vicar General, in bis gorgeous robes, the priests in their sacred vestments, the chaunts, the burning tapers, and General Walker kneeling at tha altar, all bore a striking contrast to the many exciting: scenes of his life. Having been educated aga Presbyterian, and, indeed, it is eald, for the clergy of that denomination, many won- dered at this step. Some declared that he was actuated, by a desire to profess the same religion as the people of the countries-—-Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Mexiso—im which his filibustering propensitios mad been, and were, perhaps, to be again exercised; and the French Univers, the well conducted Catholic organ, was loud in ite protes- tations against introducing filibusteriam in the Catholia Church, The scene of speculation a8 to Alibusterism was changed to the Pacific by the departure of General Walker from Now Orloana on the 6th ef March last for Cali vie Havana and Aspinwall, He arrived at Havanaon the Sthy. in company with Colonel Natzmer, and proceeded immge diately to Aspinwall by the Granada. Our San Francisco cerreepondence of April 20 states that General Walker was at that timo in that city, keeping himself very quiet, and exciting coosiderable speculation ‘a8 to his intentions. It was thought by some that he had further des’gog on Sonora; but his right hand man, Col. Natzmer, denied it. And pow we aro informed by telograph from New Or- leans that the General, with a band of three hundred men, bas landed at Acapulco, and it ts stated that ha bas designs of engaging in the present civil war in Moxica on tho side of the constitutionatists, and the rumor was supported by the statement that General Alvarez, the liberal patriot, had his headquarters at that point. Many, however, doubt that Walker has made any suciz movement, The most recent advices get forth that he could get neither men nor movey, and that he was very much distrusted. The next news—perhape the California steamer due this Week—will bring us the confirmation or denial of the story.
