Libe- ral advices say that Juarez had given ordors that Maximilian, when taken, should be treated with all the consideration due to ‘unsuccessful valor.” A New York steamer, with arms and ammunition for the libe- rals, had arrived at Tampico, and would be titted out as @ man-of-war. Our Havana correspondence is dated April 13. All classes were discontented with tho provisions of the new tariff; the merchants were signing a protest against it.

Spian is still disposed to release the ship Victoria, ac- cording to the English demands. Consols closed at 91 for money in London. United States five-twenties were at 71% in London and 763; in Frankfort. The Liverpool cotton market was very heavy at the close, with middling uplands at 115d, and downward. ‘Trade was very dull in Manchester, Breadstuifs quiet, P rovisions unchanged, The King of Denmark, replying to an address pre sented by the Danes resident in London, made a signifi- cant allusion to the process of territorial absorption going on in Germany. The feeling of the people of Schleswig was, he said, expressed in the motto, “Better die with Denmark than rot with Prussia.” Count Bismarck delivered another of his pithy and sharp addresses in Parliament during the debate on the article of the North German constitution providing for the publication of reports of the proceedings by" the press.

A Pacha of the reform school, known as “Young Turkey,” has ventured to address the Sultan in a pam- Phiet, in which he advises him to tone down toa more Uberal syatem of rule, to analyze the motives of his enemies, and stady the policy of the surrounding Powers, to read the newspapers, and finally to ‘save the empire by transforming it.” Our special correspondence from Dublin and Thurles indicates very plain'y that another and more extensive Fenian rising is expected in Ireland, and that the British commander-in-chief is forced to keep fully propared tor active exertion at any moment. The action which took place between three armed Fenians—McClure and two others—and the mon of a British flying column, in @ wood near Mitchelstown, as specially detailed by our correspondent, was 2 most ex- citing affair, The determined bravery of the Fenians, as well as the rapidity of their fire, elicited the admira- tion of the soldiers. The Cunard steamship Scotia, which arrived at this Port last night, collided at sea with tho ship Berkshire, of Boston, sinking the ship. Her captain and crew wero taken off by the Scotia and landed at this port. The tide of emigration from Ireland to the United States is likely to become a perfect flood. By the Scotia we have interesting details of tho history and position of the Franco-German and Anglo-Spanish war difficulties to the 6th of April. THE LEGISLATURE. In the Senate yesterday the Eight Hour Labor bill, ‘nd bills for the regulation of tenement and lodging houses; to provide for the payment of bounties to certain volunteers in New York city; providing , for the erection of public urinals; fixing the term of office of Marshals at six years; amending the laws relative to police courts and for the improvement of Innds about Wallsbout Bay were passed. A communication from the Union League Club asking the republican members Of the Legislature to observe a fair moasure of decency was returned to them as insulting and unworthy of notice. The Quarantine bill was not taken up. In the Assembly, the bill consenting to the construe. tion of a ship canal around Niagara Falls was referred to a subcommittee of the whole. The bill to incorporate the New York and Brooklyn Tunnel Company was re. ported complete. Bills authorizing the construction of an elevated railway in New York and Westchester; to continue the improvement of the Hudson; to alter the map of New York city; to allow husband and wife to testify against each other, and toamend the revised Statutes relative to telegraphic despatches, were passed. THE CITY. The Board of Emigration met yesterday. The state. ment of emigrants arriving at this port was presented, when it was shown that the mumber arriving since January 1 was 83,120—ten thousand less than for the same period last year. At the stated meeting of the Board of Education yes. terday a report of the Committec of Supplies, requesting that pupils in the primary classes be prohibited from taking home thelr books, was adopted. A report from ‘the same committee was also read and adopted, award- ing the contract for fuel for the public schools for 1867 to the lowest bidder, and having disposed of some regular Dusiness the Board adjourned, The tonnage duty of the Great Eastern on entering the Port of New York amounted to $6,045 60, which with the addition of the Harbor ‘Mastor’s, Health officer’s and Pilot's feos, and charges on stamps, permits, &0., being altogether only the expenses of entering the port, will foot up $7,000.

Police Commissioner Acton, in trying a surgeon for neglect of duty in not attending @ wounded man, yes. terday made some salutary remarks on the dutios of Certain attachés of the police force. He sald that tho station house should be open day and night to every one, black and white, The police sargeons are always on duty, they have no special hours, and their private business cannot affect their police business, If any of the surgeons do not know this, and keep it in mind, he Gaid, be would like to receive their resignations, Superintendent Kennedy has tasued his genoral order Felative to the duties of the police at the elections to bo held on Tuesday next. The children of tho Brooklyn Indastrial School As- Soviation and Home for Destitute Childrea, gave am South worthy ot particular notice. We refer to the position and new horn ideas of the ne- groes. Of course these people aso nnaettled and excited, and hardly know what to do or who to follow in ticir sudden elevation to freedom and political rigy's, and of course there is a good deal of ignorance athdng +29™- But they are much better instructed than many supposs. The Southern whites have always talked about politics very much ; in fact, poli- tics always was the staple of their conversa- tion. The negroes heard and learned from this both before and since the war. Besides, they are inquiring and manifest considerable shrewdness. Asa proof of this w2 learn from our correspondents that when asked who they are going to vote for or what party chey will support, they inquire, before answering, what party or section of country their questioner belongs to, and suit their replies to the answer. If a Northern man makes the inquiry, they speak well of their Northern friends ; if it be a Southerner, they manifest the best disposi- tion toward the Southerners. In this there ia shrewdness, with embarrassment and uncer- tainty as to what they will do in their novel situation. Still, on the whole, they are in- clined to seek counsel and guidance from their former masters. They seem to realizs the fact that their interests are identified with the South and the Southern whites. This has been shown in many instances lately which we have heretofore noticed, and we see from the ac- count of a mass meeting held in the theatre at Richmond, published in yestorday’s Henato, that the negroes called upon the whites for advice. The call was signed by thirteen influ- ential and intelligent colored men to Marma- duke, Jobneon and others, asking for impartial and salutary advice, which, as the signers say, “we so much need, finding ourselves sur- rounded by circumstances both novel and em- barrassing.” Thus it appears from the dispo- sition of the negroes generally that the white people of the South will be able to contro! the negro vote and hold a large balance of power in the politics of the country, While the Southern blacks are seeking advice from the whites, we think a little advice to the whites themselves may be usefal. We confvss they are showing a great deal of good sense in general, and are going along very well; but there is too much of their old State righis dogma sticking to themstill. They seem to be desirous of accommodating thomseives to their changed condition and the new order of things, but are unable to eradicate their old notions. Now, it will be well for them to understand that there can be no going back to'the old State rights theory and controversy. The progress of ihe country and the tremendous war we have gone through have given an interpretation to the constitution that will be unchangeable and final. It, therefore, the Southerners should attempi to revive their old theory of government, and ally themselves again with the copperhead democrats of the North, they will make a great misiak>. This theory has become incurably odious, and no great party can hereafter be formed upon’ that asa platform. They should either unite with the conservative republicans in opposition to the radicals and copperheads, or with an inde- pendent party founded upon the new issues that must arise regarding our national finances, the tariff and territorial expansion. With such a new party will be the place for them ; for on all such questions as those we refer to the great West and all the vast agricultural inter- ests of the country will become united against the selfish and narrow policy of New England. ‘The West and the South together may govern the country tor all time to come. The high tariff and protectionist school of politicians of the Eastern States would become powerless. The moneyed power of this section, which is now felt so mach in the national legislature, will have to yield to the interests connected with industry and the soil. Such is the prospect in the not distant fature; and we advise the Southerners, in the new political life upon which they are about to enter, to weigh well the fact. Let both whites and blacks unite; for their interests are the same— first to get restored as soon as possible to full and equal political privileges in the Union, and then to commence a new political career in accordance with the revolution that has taken place and the new issues that will soon arise. In this are safety and power ; in the opposite couree, disaster and weakness, OE tse United States Sonate yesterday a proposition to further postpone the adjourament until Friday was laid over. A committee of three to revise the rales was ap- pointed. A resolution was adopted relative to the expo diency ot devising means to make the Agricultural De- partment more efficient.. The Senate then went into ox- ecative session. The rumor still prevatis in Washington that negotia- tions are pending for the purchasy of British America by the United States, Mr, Seward proposing to give the Alabama claims in part payment, On Friday last the Herap advised the govoroment to send an exploring expedition to Russian America to acquaint our people with the value of their recent acquisition, and accordingly such an oxpedition is being organized by the State Department of Washington.

Tue Police Commissioners of Jorsey City have resolved to enforce the law prohibiting the sale of liquor on Sun- ohne Maine Liquor law is being strictly enforced in that State, The City Post Onice Site—The Cast Pald. The United States government has paid over to the City Comptroller the sum of five hundred thousand dollars, the price agreed upon for the new Post Office site in the City Hall Park,and has received in return a deed signed by the Mayor and Common Council of the city. The purchase money, we are told, was at once deposited to the credit of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund for the payment of the city debt. Well, the people have received half a million of dol- lars towards the payment of their debts for a piece of property worth three to five millions, according to the estimates of competent per- sons. They are thus from two millions and a half to four millions and a half worse off by the transaction, that being the amount taken out of their pockets by Hoff- man and the Common Council, who man- aged the job. They have also a good prospect of an increase of all the existing inconveni- ence, danger and confusion on Broadway, amounting probably to a complete blockade of the thoroughfare below the Park. The new building, instead of an ornament, would be o disfigurement to the city, by reason of the size and shape of the ground, if it should ever be built.

The Brooklyn Post Office, the New York Naval Office, the Philadelphia Collectorship and the Austrian Mission are among the most promi- nent cases of this description. Why all these disagreements? According to Senator Howe, “itis simply because the President has not, since the 1st of December, sent in men whom the Senate would or could confirm.” -*«4 WAY Dot? Because, accoriling w senator Cameron’s pelios, “the President would appoint only the worst men willing to accept office.” On the other hand, according to Senator Chandler, certain Senators had said they were “willing to give notice to the President that if he sent in traitors and gopperheads they would vote to confirm thei.” Here we get at the root of the difficulty. Called to name the Senators to whom he re- ferred, Mr. Chandler named Senator Fessen- den; whereupon the latter replied that tha accusation that he had deglorad h’msolf willing to vote for eopperberds and traitors was not true, Which is putting the case according to Parliamentary fay. Mr. Feasenden then went on to explain that, under fhe new Tenure of Office bill, all offices left vacant with the final adjourament of this session of the Senate would remain vacant during the recess, though it might last till December, and that great in- convenience might thus result to the people in the matter of vacant Custom Houses, Post Offices, &c. From this it would appear that the President has been playing the Tenure of Office bill against its radical inventors, and Somh, “The {ru0 rciiey of | Seemed ibe prema se the Moh Bay B.S S " e are .

Three or four cases of great aggravation have occurred within s very short poriod that are caloulated to create no little alarm. The first of thess was that of a gross felonions assault committed upon a woman ina hotel in Cortlandt street, where it might be sapposed that projection was insured by the presence of numerous boarders anl attachés. Still more recently an attempt to marder a school teacher in the grammar school in Ninth street was made in open day. A German grocer was murdered in his own store in Brooms street two or three nights ago by some parties who entered from the street and fellapon him while roading a newspaper. A shockiag murdet was commiit- ted in James street, early in the moraing of Tuesday, the victim being the wile of the murderer. There were plenty of people about at the time, and two or three policemen were soon on the spot, but failed to arrest the fagi- tive. There is a dismal history connected with this house, It is the same in which Forris, who expiated his crime on the gallows, murs dered his wife, and in which a man was mur- dered som? years ago by being throwa from an upper window. Added to this category of crime we have the abduction of a young girl in University place a few morn'ngs ago, which, now that she has been recovered, although not assuming the suspicious shape it did at firat, shows preity clearly that such things can pe done with impunity in our most crowded thor oughfares, We have no desire to rob the police of any credit for effcleticy, because, as a general rule, they perform their duties very well; but we are afraid there must be-a little laxity oc- casionally, when two or three murders can be openly committed within 9 few days in our most public places, quent the subject it was upon.

The result, as we have seen, is that, after a protracted trial, the Admiral is dismissed the service, Whether Admiral Persano has been made the victim of calculating political expe- iency on the one hand, and blind popular fary on the other, or whether the sentence is just, time and facts must determine. Our in- formation is too meagre to enable us to pro- nounce an opinion. High qualities of fitness and character are necessary in great public servants; nor can it be denied that it is the duty of nations to see that those qualities are possessed and made manifest; but mere want of success ought never of itself to be deemed sufficient to consign a public servant to oblivion or to doom him to lasting disgrace. pee estrae oR Zima.
