Our NEW BRITISH CoNsuI.-Eyerybody viii
be gatiGed TO learn that there is strong proba-
bility that Mr.. Barclay may re-appear among US
ere long az British Consul at this port The
uniform popularity of Mr.. Barclay with all
classes here, his family connections, his extensive
interests in this country. his long experience in
the duties Of his Office, and his intimate know
ledge of and prudent dealings with men aud
things here combine to render his re-appointment
matter of sincere congratulation not only to his
countrymen but to us. We hope therefore that
the rumor of his return may shortly be con-
filmed.
II is Of the greatest consequence that the Bri-
tish Consul at this port should be a man with
whom business can be done well and pleasantly
We will take the liberty of saying that while
Englishmen possess as many fine qualities, per-
haps as any other race, amiability Is not always
one of them, nor that loye of appreciation which
is the parent of popularity. There are . few
cross-grained and slightly pighcaded English
men floating up and down the worlds stream
and IL would be possible for the British govern
nent 10 pitch on one OF these; in which case we
can only say that a very hostile feeling toward
England In a class hitherto friendly TO her might
very easily be aroused.

Ors FOREIGN AGENTs.-We learn from Wash
ington that the President and Cabinet are en-
gagged in making few foreign appointments. It
appears however, that the designations of poor
Pierces appointees abroad drop in but slowly,
notwithstanding the limitations supposed to have
been made to all of them that their places are
wanted by the administration for new and less
Objectionable agents, who would, in fact and in
form, be the representatives Of Mr.. Buchanan's
foreign policy 1t is well known that many of
the incumbents adverted 10 have been rendered
powerless for good by their imbecility and want
Of discretion. Besides, as they are at best but
the representatives OF a defunct and repudiated
administration, they cannot command the conf
dence Of the President and il would be suicidal
in Mr.. Buchanan to suffer them longer to embar-
rass that unity of policy and purpose which it
becomes bis imperative duty to impress upon our
relations with foreign countries. The law of
change and rotation, in regard 10 all high official
positions, has become necessary fundamental
principle in our government and no administra-
ton can make itself powerful or respected which
dizegards the obligation of giving to a progress
sve stem the impulsion Of faithful and well sc.
lected agents Of its own choice.

and tho great kody Of the American
people now OCCUPY . higher religious
position and svow religious truths which are
more practical, more fundamental than those
proclaimed by any religious sect OF the present
day" Now there is great deal of truth in all
this; but instead of leading the American mind
to disunion and civil war, in order to abolish
slavery. this progress in religious wisdom will
lead them to mutual compromises and concilia-
ton in order to maintain the Union. These
churches that are splitting to pieces on the break
ers of the slavery question may be rotten to the
core, but the heart of the American people is
sound.
We are sorry that Father Giddings cannot per-
ceive this matter in its true light, He says. 1--WE
see great and rapidly increasing political par
ty, basing its existence aud its expectations Of
succt IS on the selfevident truths that all men
hold from the Creator the equal and inalenable
right to enjoy life, and that CIVIL religious and
spiritual liberty which is SO necessary to render
life useful to the individual ard the world" and
in substance, that the "higher law" Of Mr.. Sew
ard If the perfection of political platforms
But here our past experience comes into
violent collision with these delusive ideas
of Mr.. Giddings and his abolition CO.
Iaborers- The American people regard the fede-
raj constitution as their supreme political las,
and we have no fear Of The future success Of any
attempt to supersede the constitution by any false
teachings of the higher law" of niger wor.
shipping christianity.
In the last dying speech OF Mr.. Calhoun in the
United States Senate he deplored the sectional
divisions aud troubles which had occurred in the
Methodist Episcopal aud other Protestant church
es as the swapping asunder of so many cords
which had contributed to hold the Uniou together
In this view of the case we might deplore this
split Of the new school Presbyterian church into
q church North and q church South. But holding
to The idea that these church divisions are the
results of the trickery of political demagogues,
and that the bulk of the members of these church
es OF both sections are really attached to each
other and devoted to the Union, we do not share
in the spprehensions of Mr.. Calhoun, nor in the
expectations of Mr.. Glddings from these church
ruptures as between the North and the South.
Political parties, North and South, may ex-
plede into fragments, charches Of national or
ganization may split up into sectional churches;
sectional parties and churches may be arrayed
against each other Ike Turks and Tartars, but In
every exigency of danger, we believe that the
intelligence, common interests, common safety
and common sense of tho American people, of all
creeds and sections, will be fully equal to the
danger against the Union. Thus while all the
signs OF the times foreshadow most terrible sec.
tional contest, political and religious, In 1860,
we believe that the policy Of Mr.. Buchanan, the
religion Reconciliation and the bonds of the Union
Will still prevail.

EXPULSION OF A BROOKLYN ALDERMAN.-The
Brooklyn Board Of Aldermen deserve some com
men6ation for the prompttude with which they
have just disposed Of the case of one of their
number who. as a member of the Board Of
Health was shown TO have received doucer of
$3.50 to influence his Official conduct AT o
special session Of the Board on Wednesday even
ing, Mr.. Preston, the Alderman in question, was
expelled by the decisive vote OF 81 to /. His

summary proceeding is calculated to do good.
and will probably lead officials in Brooklyn aad
elsewhere to be somewhat more scrupulous aud
honorable in the discharge of their trusts The
vote against Preston was even more ovcrpow cr.
ing than that against Matteson, Edwards 4 CO.,
in the last session of Congress. We understand
that the expelled and disgraced Alderman il a
deacon and leading member of one of the Brook
Ign chutches and further, that he was Of such
turn Of mind that he voted against the PROPOSE
ton to permit the Brooklyn Railroad Company
TO run their cars on Sunday
There is another member Of the Board-Alder
man walsh-wbo is more or lcss mixed up in the
affair for which Preston has been thus punished.
lie does not appear to have received any Of the
bride himself but he called Preston's attention
10 that chance of making money, and Is culpa-
bic to that extent, II no further. We think
that his case should not DO allowed TO rest here,
but should be further sifted If the conviction
Of the Board be that be Is morally guilty, he
should be laid on the shelf with the same una
nimiiy az bis associate has been.
We have two questions, in this connection, to
ask the Brooklyn Board of Health First, how
IL il that Mr.. De Burg's manure making estab-
lishment- although II has been similar nuisance
for several years-bss not been complained of or
abated until the present summer?-and second,
how was il that the yellow fever broke out last
summer at the foot of Joraemon street, As to
the first question, We are not aware Of any facts
in relation to IL, further than that the poudrette
establishment has been some years in existence,
and that Mr.. De Burg prides himself on being "a
business man" As 10 the second question, we
understand that certain vessel laden with hides
whence the yellow fever was supposed TO be
communicated did land her cargo at the foot
Of Joralemon street last summer, contrary 10 the
express prohibition Of the Health Officer. Was
anything paid over for theconnivance of the Board
Of Health at the discharge Of this vessel under

PAY or TIE New Po1LcE.-Legal proceedings
have been taken to prevent or impede the pay
ment of the Metropolitan police. A temporary
Injunction was yesterday sued out and obtained
before Judge Iugraham in the Court of Common
Pleas, at the suit of John Fitzpatrick, tax.
payer, against tie Comptroller, Mayor, Clerk of
Common Council, City Chamberlain and Police
Commissioners, restrainSng the Comptroller from
drawing his warrant, the Mayor and Clerk of
Common Council from counte,signing it, the
Chamberlain from honosing it, and the Police
Commissioners from expanding money under 1t.
Monday next is set down for tae argument az to
whether the Injunction should be dissolved or
made perpetual
We published in yesterdays HFsaLD the cor
Yespondence that had taken place between the
Comptroller and the Mayor on this subject The
Comptroller had sent to the Mayor for his sigma
ture two several warrants for 100000, payable
to the order of the Chamberlain to be paid
to the State Treasurer, the other to be placed to
the credit of the treasurer Of the Metropolitan
Commissioners Of police. To each Of these forms
Of warrant the Mayor objected, suggesting that
it should be drawn to the order of the Comptrol-
Ter of the State, to be disbursed to the treasurer
Of the Board of Police. Mr.. Flagg assented to
this alteration but now the Injunction comes
in 10 prevent the money being so drawn or dis
bursed.
We do not see the propriety of this move. The
Police law has been declared constitutional by
the Court Of Appeals, and that decision is not to
be thwarted or nullilied by any such pettifogging
trick as this The only tribunal that can over
rule that decision is that Of the ballot box and
to it alone does an appeal lie. The bubble that
the Police Law directs the money collected" for
police purposes TO be paid into the State treasury
and that the fund now on hand for that purpose
was not collected but raised on the credit of the
city, is too ridiculous to stand for moment
We have advocated the right of the old police to
be paid up to the date of their 6ual disband
ment on The principle that they were employed
in the service Of the city and were entitled to
their wages The same argument holds good in
the case Of the Metropolitan police. That they
must be paid out Of the city taxes is clear; and
it is neither credtable nor profitable to be inter-
posing vexatious objections and saddling our tax
payers with costs Of legal proceedings.
