ciates over for trial in the District Court The pros
poets now are that this win prove serious piece Of
business for those engaged in the conspiracy Should
the charges against Dyson be substantiated his
punishment win be very severe, perhaps death.
Captain Winthrop Richardson is said to have been
completely annihiiated by the express train, on the
Maine Railroad, yesterday afternoon. He attempted
to cross the track when the train literally dashed
larger than his hand.
James Mcclure, convicted in the Syracuse Court
of Oyer and Terminer of the murder OF James W.
Holland, in Onondaga, last winter, was yesterday
sentenced to be executed on the 18th OF August.
eating, who was sentenced to be hung for the muir
der of Mr. O'Brien's children, has been respited by
the Governor of New Jersey until the 2lst of next
month, in order to allow time to obtain further in
formation relative to the sanity of the culprit.
very interesting argument between the District
Attorney and John Cochrane, Esq, on the present
judicial power of the City Judge, took place yester
day in the Court of General Sessions. Mr.. Coch-
rane pleaded for arrest Of judgment in the case of
John s. Austin and Others convicted Of riot ct Tam
many Hall, on the ground that different court
from that before whom the defendants were tried had
no power to pass sentence upon them. After hearing
the argument on both sides, Judge Beebe postponed
the sentence of the defendants until the July term.
A large number of criminals were sentenced among
whom were three persons found guilty of manslaugh
ter several river thieves and two three burglars
1t being the last day of the term the Court adjourned
sine die.
The total number Of deaths in New York during
the past week was 56l or 232 more than that of the
previous week. This great and alarming increase
in our bill of mortality was doubtless produced by
the intense heat of the weather. The deaths among
children under one year was enormous, numbering
no less than ESQ. The number of deaths by sun
stroke were 90 but this is small proportion of
those who died of other diseases caused by the ex-
treme heat; 40 died from cholera infantum, Is from
debility, 2S from darrh9a, Is from dysentery, 81
from commissions, so from consumption, "a from
congestion of the brain, 20 from marasmus, and 81
from inflammation of the brain. Death reaped an
abundant harvest during those two or three burning
days.
The Collins steamer Baltic may be expected TO-

WHAT'S TO BE Done WITH BILLY BowLEGs p
We understand the government have determin-
ed to dispense with Mr.. Blake's further services
in quieting Billy Bowlegs and his red skin
friends in Florida, not being entirely satisfied
with the result of the labors so far. Although
Billys admiration Of New York-including the
HERALD's fast presses, and the quantity and
quality of the whiskey SO literally dealt out
to him here-was very great. yet it seems pretty
certain, now that he has returned to the ever
glades, that he again feels himself /" every inch
q king" and will remain there till Uncle SANS
bayonets succeed in pricking him away. Diplo-
macy for the future will not be resorted to, and
Colonel Blake must abandon his golden dreams
of getting rid Of the Seminoles by the aid Of
moral suasion." Captain Casey, Of the U. S.
Army. has received orders to repair at once to
Florida to take charge of the troops there, and
keep sharp look out after the breechless war
riors. 1t is understood, that in case hostilities
should break out, and it is expected they may
in the fall, the gallant General Harvey, Of the
U. S. dragons, and now we believe in this city,
will be ordered to the command Of the troops in
that quarter; and it is the opinion of military
men that, with proper diligence, Billy and his
followers will be heartily tired of the contest
before many weeks. With the past history of
military operations in Florida before us. how
ever, we entertain some doubts OF this speedy
result.

out flush of shame" the French are resolutely
intriguing for the establishment of . protecto-
rate over the Sandwich Islands. They have not
been able to keep any single possession which
offered the slightest temptation to foreign pow
ers. They have lost, one by one. the noblest
colonies ever possessed by any State. Their
moral incapacity to govern territories at any
considerable distance from home, is now as well
established as any political fact can be. Still
in absolute contempt ofthe lessons of experience,
French admirals and French diplomatists are
constantly setting our nerves ajar by Quixotish
expeditions against continental deserts or iso-
lated rocks in some vast ocean.
1t remains to be seen how far Napoleon III.
will pursue the policy of his predecessors in
this respect. He has, on more than one occa-
sion, evinced commendable wisdom in depart
ing from the routine which his sagacity desig-
mated as impolitic A reform in French colo
NAL policy would be worthy of his talent. What
that reform should be we need hardly point
out Some nations have the gift of colonizing
successfully; to othersithe experiment breeds
ruin abroad and regret at home. We need not
tell the French to what category they belong.
Nor do we mean it as any reproach, when we
express the opinion that it would be equally
for the interest of the Pacific Islanders and the
citizens of La Belle France, if her colonies
were hereafter confined to territories within
three days sail of her coast.

ON Our CENTRAL PARK-It is, indeed, with
emotions of the liveliest satisfaction, that we
spread before the multitudinous readers of the
HERALD this morning, the able, learned, logi-
cal, historical. statistical incontestible, and
conclusive report to the State Senate, lately
presented by Mr.. Cooley, in behalf of our great
Central Park. We also give Mr.. Beekman's re-
port in favor of jones' Wood.
The almost miraculous achievements of Ma
poleon, in the camp and in the cabinet, in bat
tie and in diplomacy in the administration of
State affairs in every department, to the small
est minute, and in the advancement of the arts
and sciences were DUE to q very great ex-
tent, to his instructive knowledge of men. He
could tell almost at glance, what man was
worth, and what was his true vocation. Hence
he singled out the instruments of his mighty
genius. with something of the infallibility of
inspiration. We trust the sequel will prove
that we have indicated this Napoleonic percep-
ton Of the right man, in singing out Mr..
Cooley to push forward the enterprise of our
great Central Park in the Senate. Read his
report-compare it with Senator Beekman's,
and then remember that Mr. Cooley was our
man from the start. We have not been disap-
pointed in Mr.. Cooley. No.
SPECIAL ENVOY FROM THE PORE TO THE UNITED
STArEs.-We extract the following official an
nouncement from the Freemans Journal of this
city. We presume that the information is derived
from our venerable Archbishop Hughes and it
horn nra ha cir full MT oil
to the respect due to an edict from the
Vatican =
INTERESTING FROM RoME.--On the 9th of Nav
Monseignor Cajetan Bedini, Archbishop of Thebes,
former COmmissary Extraordinary of the Pontifcial
government to the legations left Rome as special
Envoy Of His Holiness to the United States. At our
latest advces Monseignor Bedni WAS in Paris He is
charged by the Holy Father to pay visit to the
government at Washington, and also to hold inter-
views with the different prelaes Of the church in the
United States, and to acquire the most exact in
formation respecting the interests and condition of
the Catholic Church in this country.
After making as long a visit as may be of advan-
tage in the United States, Monsignor Bedni will 90
to Brazil, where he is to reside as Apostolic Nuncio
near that government. He is accompanied at pre-
sent by M. Ernest ColOgneri who goes to the Apos-
tolic Legate in Mexico, as Auditor taking the place
of M. Marus Marini Oscal who goes TO Rio to dis
charge the functions of Charge dAfHaires till such
time as a Nunco shall arrive.
We doubt not that Monseignor Bedini will be
delighted with his visit and the onward march
of the church in this quarter of the vineyard;
but somewhat astonished at the general pros
perity of the country, and the happiness of it's
population-bond and Notwithstanding
the swarms of aboltionists and heretics with
which the country abounds. At all events, we
bespeak becoming reception to this distin-
guished functionary from the Holy Father at
Rome.

Coon News FOR WALL STREET.-It is report
ed that General Pierce and bis Cabinet are of
the same opinion, that there will be no war in
Europe on account Of the Turkish question.
But whether this information is authentic is one
thing; and whether if authentic il has been de-
rived from the Russian Minister through our
Premier OF is the mere private opinion of the
Premier himself il quite another thing. Even
as rumor. however, it is good news for Wall
street. Let the bears hold back a little longer,
but look sharp. The question is not yet settled,
and hostile fleets and armies are in motion.
Look sharp.
