In reply to a resolution of inquiry, the Street Com states that there was no special statute authorizing him to compel the Fourth Avenue Railroad to rn email cars to Forty-second street as often as they are tun to Twenty-seventh street, and that in th cath absence of such anthority it was the duty of the Corporation Attorney to enforce the ordinance. The Comptroller sent in & communication in reference to the floating debt of the city, in which he states that is very im portant that the old floating debt of the Corporation, which has so fong been floated hy the unlawful issue of revenue bonds, should be liquidated, and that the present state of the money market » dd be ava’ of to make the necessary loan for such purpose. The paper was referred to the Committee on Finance.

The struggle is no a OF Br Demaee vie hiewy eho longer to be on the island of Sicily, but at "o- | Naples, the capital of the kingdom, on the mainland. It is evident that neither Victor Emanuel nor Garibaldi will accept the over- tures of young Bomba, who, therefore, seeing that there is no eye to pity him and no hand to save, prepares against the dreaded insurrection in the city of Naples, and the advancing, swelling tide of revolution, whose waves threaten soon to sweep over his throne and leave ita stranded wreck. With the success of Garibaldi in revo- lutionizing the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, it is not possible that the States of the Church can be much longer held by the Pope, or that Ve- netia will continue a provinee of Austria. Italy will soon be completely revolutionised, and when united into one homogenous Power —be it a kingdom, an empire ora republic—it will become truly formidable to the despots of En- rope. The example of revolution is contagious, and may cross the Alps—perhaps to break out in Hungary once more. And should the ambi- tion of Victor Emanuel prompt him to foreign conqnest, and the warlike and acquisitive spirit of the old Romans be revived in Italy, there is no telling in how many bril- liant campaigns the regenerated nation may tind itself engaged in a few short years. democracy Kaneas contest has made hie doctri rial popular sove a goo g for the North. Hence be is the most popular of all candidates among the Northern democracy. So, on the other hand, this Southern constitutional doctrine that, in the matter of slave property In a Territory during the Territorial condition, neither the Territorial authorities nor Congress can rightfully interpose, except to protect said property, overrides all other questions in the South. It certainly will, with a champion so popular as Breckinridge before the Southern people, And this brings us to the exact state of the canvass among the divided democracy. Upon his platform of Territorial popular or squatter sovereigaty, it is perfect folly fo at- tempt to rnn Douglas against Breckinridge in the South. The Southern people of all parties, in looking at Kansas, believe that popular sovereignty means the exclusion or expulsion of the South, with their institution of slavery, from every other Territory in which it may be tried. Hence the failure of Mr. Douglas in the South. But the Northern democracy say that the doctrine of the Breckinridge party esta- blishes slavery in every Territory under the epecial protection of Congress—a doctrine ab- horrent, not only to the majority of the peo- ple, but to the mass of the party in the North, Hence the comparative weakaess of Mr. Breck- inridge in this section. What, then, under this state of things, is the policy of these two hostile democratic parties? As Mr. Douglas can do nothing with squatter sovereignty in the South, is it not manifestly the policy of his party to withdraw him from that section, provided they can secure the withdrawal, of Mr. Breckinridge from ‘orth? Under this agreement, the d democracy might poll a larger electoral | vote in both sections than they could as a unit. They could not, as a united party upon aay platform satisfactory to the South, carry a sin- gle Northern State of any account; nor upon a factory Northern platform could they car- ry more than two or three Southern States.

The war with China is thus fatriy inaugurated; and of its character and objects we are plainly forewarned by the tone of the British press. It is to be a contest for supremacy in China-—the fiercest and bloodiest of which perhaps any Asiatic nation was the victim. The conquest of Hindostan is to be re-enacted in the Celes- tial empire. British civilization aad British cotton goods, together with the opium of India, are to be forced upon the Chinese at the point of the bayonet and from the mouth of the can- non, “We must resolve,” says the London Telegraph, “that this blow, in order that it may be the last, shall be the most overwhelming we have dealt against the aggressive and treache- rous government of the Chinese empire;” and the same journal insists that the war should not be terminated until the opium trade—in resist- ance to which the Chinese endured a bloody war before—shall be solemnly legalized by treaty, a uniform currency established, and an absolute command of the coal supplies of Formosa be obtained; in short, until every British interest in China is insured the fullest protection, and the most favorable field for its advancement. All this the armies of England and France are destined to enforce at the oost of millions of treasure and oceans of blood; for the war, once begun, must be protracted, expensive, cruel and devastating. The Chinese are not disposed to yield a jot of their rights, as we have seen by their refusal to accept any terms short of the test of battle. They can bring countless millions into the field, and can afford to lose a hundred of their dense population to one soldier of the enemy. On the other hand, the discipline of the allied troops, and their superior skill in tactics, will sustain them against overwhelming numbers and the disadvantages of fighting in a hostile country, so that. despite the numerical inequality of the contending forces, the struggle may be destructive and prolonged. The test is now about to be practically ap- plied to the respective policies of our govern- ment and that of the European Powers. This war will demonstrate to a certainty—if demon- tsration was required—whether our peaceful mode of obtaining commercial advantages in the East is not the best and the cheapest way of establishing the desired relations with Asiatic countries. Dairy Cowesication Between tue Usiten Srares axo Gnear Brrraiy.—The steamship raffie between New York and the ports of Great Britain has attained such a maryetlous developement that already we may be said to have a daily line of steamers crossing the At- lantic. In the eight days from the 23d to the 30th of June inclusive, no less than nine steam- ers—averaging more than one per day—sailed from British ports for this country. These were the Persia, Golden Fleece, Bavaria, Etna, Parana, Palestine, Glasgow, Fulton and Ara- bia. Of these, eight took their departure with- in the space of four days, equal to a morning and evening ferry service. This does not in- clude the steamships sailing from German and French ports. There is one unpleasant reflec- tion about the matter, and that is, that while our trade and commerce have been producing this immense developement in ocean steam navigation, our own steamers do not hold that place in the competition which the enterprise of our merchants and the skill ef our ship- builders would entitle them to. We are thus having a daily ferry across the Atlantic in which American steamers have no place. We commend these facts to the careful considera- tion of our mercantile and governing classes, Lop Brovenax ox Ax Ovo Honwy. -The ex- Chancellor of England delivered recently, ia the House of Lords, one of his cld speeches, with new facts, on the horrors of the slave trade and the iniquity of American slavery. His object was to defeat an address to the throne asking for the appointment of a British Consul at Mozambiqne, and it is a eurious indi- cation of the change in the opinion of the Eng- lich people regarding the Exeter Hall theorists, that his lordship’s motion was rejected by a vote of nearly two to one. A little more dis- cretion would teach Lord Brougham the want of logic in his efforts to confound the Africana slave trade to Cuba and the institution of do- meatic slavery in the United States, The one is an inhuman trafic, carried on in spite of the teachings of true policy, of solemn treaties with other Powers, and of the spirit of the age in which we live ; the other is a question as to the best social and political status of four mil- Tions of ignorant, incapable, aad inferior beings in a community of thirty millions of the most active, intelligent and energetic of men. We commend to his lordship, when he again refers to this subject. the Scriptural command, not to plough with the ox and the ass together. Tue Lyst Hounon.—Before the inquest upon the bodies of the two citizens shot down in Eighteenth street is concluded, the public is startled by the intelligence of another brutal murder in’ Eleventh ave- nue. The motive in the first case bas not yet been very clearly developed, though all the circumstances point to domestic quarre| as the cause. In the other case, however, theve is no room for doubt. The murder was committed for plunder; and the meney and valuables of the household thus ruthlessly tavaded hare been found upon the party charged —we presome justly charged——with the crime. But there isa circumstance connected with these two fearfit aggressions deserving of remark. While the po- lice bave been unable to trace out the cciminal in the Walton Mathews tragedy. in the other fn- stance they promptly securcd the murderer, with undentable evidences which, if the law be proper|; surely bring bim to punishment It is not often that we haya to comme * Pes ~ tte ty vigilance and Mficleney of the police. but in this Exciting Trot betweom Flora Temple one latter instance te7 are certainly tled to credit ProviiGact ms Pesisc By tSviTeue 1s Baoox- Lyn.—There is at least one tng in which the “City of Churches,” at the other » “de of the Fast river, is likely soon to rival the gre.*t metropo- lis at this side, and that is the profligat.* ¢XPe2- ditures with which it is saddled by the Lesisla- ture.

It escaped the last grand scheme of plunder merely on account of its enormous and gigantic proportions. Brooklyn has not been so fortunate, At the rate at which the Legisla- ture is proceeding, the property of that city will soon be so loaded with taxation that those citizens who take up their abodé there to avoid taxation of their personal estate and to enjoy cheap rents will flee to New York as a less costly lodging place. It would seem as if the men seut by the people to represent them iu the State capital racked their brains to discover means by which they may thrust their hands inio the people's pockets and squander their money on anything and everything. They are ready to level moun- tains and fill up seas, provided they can give a job to their friends, the contractors, with whom they are silent pactmers, and whose money is employed in sending them to the Legislature. When will the people come forward and select the right kind of men to manage their public interests, instead of leaving the primary elections in the hands of rowdies and. shoulder hitters, thieves, blacklegs and gamblers? Would merchants and others pursue the same course in their private affairs, employing men of bad character to do their business, who would be sure to betray their trust and rob their em- ployers: They would not: and till they adopi the same principle in the election ef men to manage their public concerns, as they do in the case of their private establishments, they will be cheated and robbed to the end of the chapter, and may think themselves fortunate if their liberties are not taken away with their property.

He expressed his gratification at the nomijuation of Breckinridge and Lane, because they were good and true men, whe would always be foual « ‘the post of duty, and above all because they were lovers of the censtitution and Unlen, and in fayor o the equal rights of the poople of all sections.

This application for that purpose was referred to the Attorney General, who malutaios that, the proceeding being a judicial one, no other power ‘than that of tue court which granted the iqjunct.on can properly interfere with it; that the title of the company tn possession of the mine is fraudulent and worthless; that they have already received several millions of dollars from ft, to which they had no right; and that no sound polley requires that they should be permitted longer to eulogy the fruits of their illegal enterprise at the public expense. Under this decision the company will never be adie to work the mine unless they suould witimately suc- ceed in aucther case now pending, which involves the Question of tite, and which will be strongly contested by the government.
