The Common Council.

The Board of Aldermen viii open their July sessions
this evening" but beyond the ordinary routine business
nothing Of Importance 10 expected to come OF. The
Board will, at its rising tonight, adjourn till We'd
nesday and Is thought will then sit every night ex
cept Saturday and Sunday until the number Of thei,
sttings for the month disposed of.
This being the first Monday in July the Board Of
Councimen will commence their stated sessions this
evening, and, according to their amended rules will
continue In session every evening except Saturdays and
Sundays until their business is disposed of.
Several important reports relative to printing their
proceedings in the daily papers, in reference to the re-
organization Of the Fire Department. and the abuses
the present regime win doubt make their appearance
this week Besides this, many important documents re-
alive to the opening of streets and avenues no. may
expected.
This week win be spent in referring resolutions and
petitions and reports to the Committee of the Whole
and as this win occupy several nights it is not at all
likely that the Board will resolve itself into the Com
mittee Of the Whole this week.

ADJOURNMENT OF CoNaREss-There is now o
hope that the country may have reasonable
interval Of relief from the spoils proceedings of
the present Congress. The committee of con.
ference reported on Saturday in favor Of a final
adjournment on Friday, the 4th of August, and
the report was adopted by both houses. There
is no necessity for meeting again in October.
unless there is to be war with Spain: and n,
no war message has been, or is to be. sent nm
to the House, let both houses rejoice at the
beams OF peace, and adjourn. Let the spoils-
men be content with the regular appropriation
bills, and the ten millions of the Gadsden
treaty, till December next. We desire that the
members should be apprised Of the fact that
there is higher power in this country than
the administration We feel anxious concern
ing the members of the House. Some of them
may yet be saved, by this seasonable return to
their constituents. The expensive farce of this
session has lasted long enough.

The POLICE UsIroRN--SEcRET OF THE MOVE
MENT-In another column will be found letters
from Mr. Stogdill, the chairman, and Mr. D. B.
Taylor, one Of the speakers at the late police
Indignation meeting, at the Park, explanatory
of their views upon this question. 1t is
scarcely for us to repeat that, sympathsing
in none Of the motives that have set this
movement on foot, we cannot recognise the
good sense or expediency of the arguments ad-
vanced by those gentlemen. If police force
be necessary at ALL it is essential that measures
should be taken to render it as effective as pos
sible. Now without an organization that de-
fines accurately its responsibilities, that marks
it out from the general crowd, and that renders
it's presence manifest where it is wanting, it is
clear that it must fail to fulfil the conditions
for which the public tax themselves for its sup
port. 1t is precisely the absence of those con-
ditions that has hitherto rendered the police of
New York 80 inefficient for the protection of
the lives and property Of our citizens. We may
be over sanguine in believing that the proposed
innovations will bring about different state of
things, but the experiment is at all events
worth trial, and the public are not to be
frightened from attempting it, because it may
excite the susceptibilities of alarmists, who see
danger to the constitution in almost every
restraint imposed upon the passions Of the law
less and unruly.
We find that the general expression of con-
demnation which the resistance to the new po-
lice regulations has ELECTED from the public,
through the medium of the press, has not had
the effect of discouraging the instigators
Of this absurd movement, and that another
meeting is to be held in the Park, on the sub
ject, on Thursday next. Although a misappre-
hension Of the effect Of these regulations no
doubt produced the original feeling of discon-
tent in the force which led to the first meeting,
it is now evident that it has been seized upon
by politicians to forward their own views
All cause of complaint on the score of ex-
pense having been put an end to by the ex-
PLANTATION of the Commissioners, we should be
glad to know what well founded objections can
be made by the force to regulations which tend
to elevate them in public estimation, and to
render them O still more efficient and respect
able body The continuance of the agitation
proves the truth of what we before suspected,
that it is less police movement than party
contest between the democrats and Know Moth
ings to avail themselves of the police force as
an auxiliary instrument to carry the next fall
elections.

The SEASON OF FRUITs-During the past four
days two hundred and ninety-three thousand
four hundred pine apples forty thousand eight
hundred bananas, and eighty thousand cocoa
nuts, have been dumped upon our docks, and
great is the consumption thereof by the Go
thamites-the juvenile citizens particularly, as
we may see by walk through the Bowery.
There is nothing more delicious to the taste or
more conducive to bodily health than sound,
ripe fruit; but every body should carefully re-
frain from excess in eating it, and be very
careful to reject that which is not fully ripe or
in the slightest degree tainted "Let us use
the good things the gods give uswith prudence

On THE WNG.-New York presents a singu-
lar aspect, just now. Most of the fashionables
have shut up their palaces in the Fifth avenue
and elsewhere, and are off to the sea-shore. or
else indulging in dishabiHe costume, fresh eggs
and rural drives in their rusurban retreats.
Their places on Broadway, at the opera, or in
the churches are filed with strangers, mostly
from the South--tourists who have come here
to see our race week, and then to depart for the
cool breczce of Montreal, the shades of Sarato-
60 or the surf OF Newport. The Broadway ho-
tells have been well filed during the past week,
and the retail dealers will have no occasion to
complain when they balance their cash" at
the end of the month. The railways and steam
boats diverging from this city, are in the full
tide of prosperity, and although they carry
away immense numbers of New Workers., who
fly from the heat and dust of the metropolis to
get Whit Of country air, yet they bring back
as many. During the past week everybody has
been on the wing, and the metropolis bids fair
to be as gay rs ever during the summer, not
withstanding the cholera rumors which our
Philadelphia friends have so industriously cir
culated

CosT OF BEAD wrrHrHE
BRITISH CoLoNIEs--A gentleman in this ity,
being on tour in Canada recently, thought he
would encourage the native industry Of tie
place by purchasing some samples Of Indan
bead work On crossing the line, these curosi-
ties which were purchased as present fol- his
wife, fell under the notice OF the Custom H,use
officials and the following document was Gully
presented to the owner -
ColBroR's OFFICE, DISTRICT or NIAGARA

hereby certify that James Monteath has entered at
this port the following merchandise, articles and
paid duties thereon according to law, viz -

{Prctest.) CHARLES N. V. JONES, Dep. Cci
This case affords nice argument for the ad-
vocates Of colonia! reciprocity. If it costs a
dollar and eight cents to introduce three pieces
of bead work into the United States, our tariff
surely requires remodelling but the present
reciprocity scheme, which does not contem-
plate any interference with manufactures,
mouiu HuIuly reach tne case. we commend 1t,
however, to the consideration of tie colonial
papers from which we publish extracts else
where. Bead work, we presume, is one of the
most extensive manufactures of the Canadas;
and most travellers, of whom several thousands
cross the borders every year, have been in the
habit Of investing some small sum in its en-
couragement. Now, unless our Canadian
neighbors viii add manufactures to the list Of
articles they desire to admit free SO that bead
work may henceforth escape the thirty per
cent paid by Mr. Monteath, we fear that the
knowledge Of his case may affect the sale of this
Canadian staple to very serious extent. They

RUSSIAN POSSESSIONS IN AMERICA--INTENTION
OF THE BRITISH GovERNMENT.-We publish, in
another part Of this paper, an interesting de-
scription, translated from the French paper of
San Francisco, L'Echo du Pacifgue, Of the
Russian possessions on the northwest coast Of
this continent, north Of British Oregon, and
from which the Russians are divided by Presi-
dent Folks fighting line Of 81 40.
In connection with the late announcement of
the London Times, that it is reported to be
the intention Of her Majesty's government to
take possession of Sitka and the other ports in
the Pacific belonging to the Russians" this de-
scription, from our French contemporary at San
Francisco, will, at this crisis, prove to be par
ticularly interesting. The seizure of the pos
sessions in question by England will be tanta-
mount to their permanent transfer to the Bri
fish crown. Some weeks ago we called the at
tention of our government to this subject but
while the Cabinet Of England have taken the
hint, ours were too intent upon the spoils of
the Gadsden treaty to pay the slightest atten-
ton to the policy Of purchasing, as we might
have done for trife the aforesaid Russian pos
sessions, in advance Of the projected movement
Of England, for their occupation. Now they
are lost, and England will be greatly strength
ened by their acquisition, in the very quarter
to which we must look, in the event of war, for
our naval supplies and resources in the Pacific
ocean. Such are the neutrality and " mastery
inactivity" of the present administration.
