The Empire City at New-Oreans brings dates
from California to the 9th inst, but no news OF
Importance from the Golden State beyond the fact
of general dullness of business and the failure Of
the Pacific Express Company. This arrival con-
firms the retreat of LOckrdge and his fllibuster
followers, who were taken to Aspinwall by British
vessels and thence to New-Oreans in the Crescent
City. Among these returned "patriOts" are Gen.
erals Wheat and Hornsby. The Transit Route Is
now entirely in the hands of the Costa Ricans, who
recently took possession of Punta Arenas, and the
steamer Rescue, with considerable quantity of
ammunition and six pieces of artillery. The
steamer j. l.. Stephens from San Francisco to
Panama brings no further intelligence from
Walker; but private dispatch from Aspinwall
to New-Orleans states that Walkers position at
Rvas is impregnable, and that he is likely to hold
out for months yet. These dispatches received BY
the fbusters 9" in advance of the mail" have here
tofore generally proved fshy. And we don't see
that Walkers impregnable position, iftrue, amounts
to anything, as his force is not sufficiently strong
to permit his leaving Ryas with safety. Evidently
this boasted " man of destiny" with his wonderful
" blue-grey eye," is used up.
New-York daily tribune., 1857-04-28

In all informal discussion before Judge Roose
welt yesterday, which is reported in another col
umn, Mayor Woods counsel laid stress on point
which they have taken, in one form or another, at
previous stages of the contest between the Mayor
and the Board Of Police Commissioners. Mr..
O'Conor and Judge EdmOnds affect to think that
the only substantial question raised in the case Is
that regarding the cOnsttutionality of the Metro
politan Police act and when the defendants coun
sci address their remarks to other branches of the
inquiry, they are taunted as unwilling to argue the
case upon its merits. You do not Mayor Woods
counsel would seem to say, meet US on the merits
when you argue that Fernando Wood has no right
to institute the suit which he has brought, that
a Court has no legal power to order regularly-en-
acted statute to fourth reading" before ITSELF
and to prohibit it from becoming law until judg-
ment shall have been pronounced upon its validity.
As if Court were not bound to inquire, first of
ALL whether ii has jurisdiction of the parties and Of
the subject matter as if the most important ques
ton upon which the Judiciary can be called to
passs were not whether il is trenching upon the
province ofthe coordinate branches Of Government.
Yesterday the model Mayors counsel went so far
as to oppose an immediate hearing upon the second
injunction granted ancillary to the quo ,odrranto
sued out on Saturday, unless the other side would
agree to discuss the constitutionality of the
statute at the same time, which is the question
raised by the quo ,rarrantO itsef-their plea being
that substance should not be sacrificed 70 form.
And yet the latter question more surely involves
the right of the new Police Commissioners TO hold
office at all, than the former involves their right to
hold Office, pendente lite, until the validity of the
statute creating them shall have been examined by
the Court Of last resort-a matter of months, If
not of years. Would Mayor Wood regard this as
mere technicaty if be were out of Office instead
of in' Or would it be The one point to which he
would bend his energies What an amazing differ
ence it makes whether your ncighhor's bull CORES
your OK or your bull your neighbor's OK!
But even more than the right of cne or another
set of men to office, even than the ques ion
Of COED order and peace and the enforcement of
law for several months depends upon the decision
New-York daily tribune., 1857-04-28

The quarrel between the pulpit and the stage is
chronic. Although in different degrees we believe
that the cergymen of all sects unite in disapprova
of tho drama. The Roman Catholic Church de-
nies to the actor Christian burial although its vo-
taries are not forbidden to 60 to the plays the En-
plish Church is more liberal, although still in
dubious position; while Dissenters and those who,
with different titles, agree with their theology ara
almost unanimous in their condemnation. But op-
posed to the religious classes are many men of
decent life and conversation, Of refinement Of
learning and of ability, and, indeed, many men who
ould feel themselves to be slandered should their
heart felt interest in serious matters b. impugned
and who are unwilling to abandon the pleasure and
the profit Of the drama, conscious as they that
IFS moral influence upon their own characters has
been anything but injurious. Joined to these are
persops of mere wit and fashion, who have no
higher care than TO secure for every day and night
n recurrence of pleasant sensations. Such butter
flies from the days of Jeremy Collier to the present
time have been the volunteer defenders of the stage
and a great many of them from Congreve down
have been badly damaged in the service. Quiet
and respectable hester-goers have been content to
epioy in silence without caring to enter into the
controversy. The war; therefore, has never been
waged upon either side in the wiset manner, nor
have the weapons been worthy of the contest. At
this time, when it promises to be renewed with un-
usual yisor. a few desultory suggestions may not
be without value.
Some exception has been taken to the charge
against the Purtans of originating hostility to the
tbeater which was made upon recent festive
occasion. OF course, if the matter is infinitely
considered. we shall find the quarrel to have been
under full headway long before the first Puritan
preached or the first convertible was established
But for the purposes of this discussion it is safe to
assert that the special anpathy to the theater felt
by certain classes in this country and England had
is origin. either directly or indirectly, in the pecu-
liar opinions and ascetic dogmas of the Puritans
with msny il is an inherited feeling and has been
in the family since the landing Of the Pilgrim
fathers. The history Of the American Drama
shows fiat lust where the Puritan opinions were
most decidedly in the ascendant, the establishment
,f tberters was the longest delayed. Hsllam
COMPANY played frs. e the gallant cavaess of vir-
cinia. ard the first gentlemen who trod the boards

New-York daily tribune., 1857-04-28

Last night, on motion of that fine specimen of a
law-and order man, Alderman William Wilson of
the First Ward, the Board of Aldermen, by vote
of Ia to 6, resolved to dsobey, ignore, and so far
as possible, annul and resist the new Charter,
Police, Park, City Hall, Port Wardens and Excise
bills recently passed by tho Legislature. The
spirit of the resolution is insulting and disgracefu
and is in itself q powerful argument for reScuing
the city from the control of the shouder-hitters,
emigrant-runners, thieves, and prize-6ghters who
have it now in their keeping What madness has
seized upon these men we do not know; but if
they think, however successful in causing delay
that they can ultimately nulify the enactments of
the Legislature, they may be sure that they have
made great mistake.
