ARRIVAL OF THE CRESCENT CITY,
Half 2 Million Dollars in Gold Dust.
Interesting Adyices from Mexico,
90. DC. DO.

The fine steamship Crescent City, Captain
Stoddard, arrived at this port yesterday afternoon,
from Chagres, New Orleans, and Havana.
On her outward passage. she left New York at
A, PM, on Wednesday, May 2sd, and arrived oil
Chsgres, in 81 days, with 81 passengers.
The reports from California, brought by the ar.
rival of the steamers California and Oregon, have
bsen given at length heretofore, suffice it now to
say, that the astonishing accounts from the gold
regions are fully authenticated.
The c. c. lett Chagres on the 4th June, with 1913
passengers, and arrived at the S. w. Pass in five
Gays seven hours, whence she proceeded up to
New Orleans, and landed portion of her passen-
gers.
Nothing of Importance was stirring in New Or
leans. The cholera had greatly subsidized, and in
fact, was scarcely noticed. The efforts made to
stop the crevasse had been thus far efrctual, and
the work is going steadily on. though the rear
portion of the city is yet flooded with water. Many
persons had left the city to spend the summer at
the North
The C. C. remained at New Orleans until Sa-
turday, the 10th st., at 10, A. NJ, when she left
for Havana, where she arrived on the evening Of
the 18th. After landing quantity of specie, she
left the Moro, tor New York, at 81, A. NJ, on the
18th AS the authorities would not permit any
communication between the essel and the shore,
on account of the cholera at New Orleans, Captain
Stoddard neither obtained passengers nor newspa-
pers at that place.
The Crescent City brings nearly half million ia
specie and gold dust on freight, together wth1args
quantities of the precious metal the property of the
passengers. Annexed is list Of those to whom
the gold on freight is consigned -

Arson AND MURpER-TnE DirFEREyCg.-The
negro Jones, who was tried and found guilty oil
arson, and sentenced to be hanged for the crime,
was. as our readers are aware, saved from the gal
lows by the Executive, through the intervention of
the anttcapi,al-p punishment philosophers m this
city, and elsewhere. Those gentlemen besiegcd
the Governors house for number Of days, and
bcsoueht him so urgently and unremittiusly,
that he Welded, and the sheriff Of the city and
county was relieved of the unpleasant dnty of put
ting the culprit TO death, in pursuance of his SEN
tence.
Now, we had no especial desire that this mans
blood should be shed but we confess that we
think the exercise of the pardonng power in his
case was iniudicious. Arson is, perhaps, the most
dreadful CRIME that cen be committed. In adj
diton TO the destruction Of property, it endangcrs
human life. and in many cases has sacrificed it
even in this very city. il is a CRIME which is no
easy Of detection. The time selected for commit
ling it is the dead of night when people are lost IN
sleep. 1t is crime that has been perpetrated to a
great extent in this region, aad has sent many an
innocent man, woman, and child, TO IN untlmely
end, and even within few years has seat several
persons, unanointed, unannealrd to the bourne
whence no traveller returns. It is long time
since an example has been made and hence we
argue the Improperly of Executive interference
IN the case of Jones, who was detected in tie very
act, found guilty on testimony that could not be
controvered, and sentenced to be executed. Ills
punishment has been committed. So be it. The
deed is done and we would not recall it, If VIC
could.
But we will say that, If .hcrc was justice in com
muting the punishment Of Jones, there will be
great injustice in executing Wood, who lies under
sentence Of death, in the Tombs, for poisoning
his wife. He, if guilty of the crime for which he
is adudged TO forfeit his existence, took away but
one life; Jones might have sacrificed several.
The house which he fred contained, at the hour
when he applied the torch, thirtysx human beings,
many OF them helpless women and children. II is
wooden building, in the most denscly populated
portion Of the city; and, if he had not been dis
covered, fine had not been disturbed in the act, he
might have destroyed great many lives. Yet,
the man who took one life is to die, while he whose
criminality might, and probably would, have
caused the untimely death Of several persons,
is snatched from the galows by the Executive.
We repeat that, if the act Of clemency in Jones 8
case was Justice, the execution Of Wood will be
iainsiire fnwa,ds the copnpr''y. ss Vol ~ -.

The COMMON COUNCIL AND TnE WILIIAMsBUIGII
FERRY.-We hear a good deal Of whispering about
certain strange manUuvres that took place recently
in the corridors Of the City Hall, and in the grog-
shops in the ncighborhood Of the Park, in conncc-
ton with the Willlamsburgh Ferry controversy.
In fact, it has been directly lntimatcd that the
votes of certain gentlemen Of the Common Council
were influenced by bribesthat, IN plain terms,
certain members had been tempered with, and that
they gave their votes in exchange for gold, without
reference to the merits Of the subject on which they
were legislating.
five mistake not this ia the second charge Of
the kind that has been laid at the door of the Com
mon Council. A shor, time since, a member of
The Board Of Assistants, when the same subject
under consideration, rose in lis place, during
The discussion, and directly and publicly stated
that lie had been tempered with and that he was
under the Impression that the votes of certain of
his colleagues did not correspond exactly with the
opinions which they expressed short time pre-
yiously, and that he feared some improper lnhi-
ence hid induced them to alter their minds. lie
called upon that e. ard, when this charge was
made, 10 investigate the matter and clear them
selves cf The imputation thus thrown on them. No
notice, however, was taken of It, and the matter
was allowed to drop We did not intend to sllIic
TO The tubicet AGAIN bu! we cannot now remain
silent when similar charge of bribery and corrue-
ton is made against the representatives OF the
people apd we now declare, second time, that
the Common Council owe it TO themselves, to their
constituents, and to the character Of our city, at
home aid abroad, TO appoint committee of invcs-
,igaon in thus matter; to punish tbs guilty, if any
there arc, or to show the falsty Of the scandalous
npuiaiion cast on them. We shall see what course
will be adopted this time.
