The late rebellion Of Mayor Wood, and his at.
tempt to defeat even to the extent Of resOrtng to
violence and bloOdshed the enactments of the New
York Legislature, and the encouragement and sup
port afforded to this procedure by The Journal %
Commerce, apologizing and excusing where it does
not venture actually to justify, afford remarkable
comment on the consistency and sincerity Of that
journal.
We beg leave respectfully to suggest to it that
the AbolitiOnists aud the FreeState men of Kansas
are not by any means the only parties who need to
have obedience to the laws preached to them.
Wood ia quite ready enough of his "-n moro mo
ton, and without any external stimulus, to tram
ple the laws under foot and to set the administra
ton of Justice at defiance. Instead Of prickins
him on, by apologies and excuses, to new outrages
of the same kind, we think it might be better,
both for him and for The Journal ITSELF if it would
hunt up from it, old files and repeat for bis special
benefit few of its old homilies about the duty Of
obedience to the laws. With such devoted organs
of law and order a. The Journal Of Commerce en-

Terrible Disaster ON the River n.
Lawrence.
BURNING OF THE STEAMER MONTREAL.
Loss Of between Three and Four Hundred Lives
QuEBrc, Saturday. Juns 81 la57-

Qursrc, Saturday, juno 81, 1857.
The steamer Montreal, one Of the regular steamers
running between Quebec and Montreal, left this bort
at o'clock yesterday afternoon, having on board be.
tween four and five hundred passengers, Of whom q
majority were Scotch, and other immigrants rseeutly
arrived from Europe.
Nothing unusual occurred after leaving the wharf
until the Montreal had reached point Cape RoegeD
about twelve or fifteen miles above this city, when
the wood work near the furnaces was discovered to
be on fire. Almost at the very moment that the smoke
was first discovered the flames broke forth, causing
the utmost CONSERVATION among the crowded passeu.
gers.
The Ore was first discovered at about O'Clock.
when the steamer was nearly abreast Of Cape Rogue.
Every effort was made TO arrest the flames, and for
this purpose the engines were stopped 50 ss TO lessen
the draft; but, finding it impossible to save the
steamer, Capt Rudolph ordered her to be run toward
the shore and at the same time tho officers and crew
e1erted themselves to get out tho lfe-boats. The
flames spread with the moot astonishing rapidly, and
in few minutes after the steamer began 10 for.
ward the widest confusion and despair prevailed
throughout the ship, and numbers Of the passengers
threw themselves overheard, and were in most sssss
drowned.
Fortunately the steamer Napoleon, also bound for
Montreal was but few miles in advance Of the burn
ing boat, and as soon as the fire discovered put
back with ali possible expedition and succeeded in res
cuing from the burning wreck l27 passengers.
Capt. Rudolph and the Purser Of the Montreal were
among the number of those who threw themselves
into the river and they being excellent swimmers sue
ceeded in reaching the steamer Alliance and were
saved. is quite possible that Others may have sue
ceeded in saving themselves by swimming, but as the
steamer became manageable when considerable
distance from the land there is doubt but that most
of those who threw themselves from the burning boat
found wstery grave. Sixteen of those saved died
within short time after thy reached the deck of the
Napoleon, and from present information it is believed
that the total loss of life by this terrible disaster will
not fall short Of from 30V to 400.
The steamer Alliance arrived here this afternoon
with forty five dead bodies and another boat is known
to have recovered sixty bodies but we have not been
able to learn the names of any Of those lost except
Mr. Phillips of the extensive numbering firm Of Nor.
cross & Phillips Of Three Rivers.
The Montreal had on board two hundred and fifty
eight immigrants, recently arrived here from Gasgow,
together with several German families and raftsuea
and several American passengers

TIL. Herald contends that the Metropolitan PO-
lice are merely State officers, who can only enforce
the law, of the State, and can take no coguizance
of any city or town ordinances which may exist
within the Metropolitan district. Nonsense. They
ara mn more the creatures of State law than the old
Police of New. York and Brooklyn, which they have
,urplanted. The old establishments owed their
VI, idity to the authority Of the Legislature. la
that respect they stood on precisely the same
ground with the new one; and were just az much
and not whit more, under obligations to enforce
city ordinances. But it those who are rendered
anxious BY this appeal of The Herald to the isuo-
rance Of rs readers, will do well to look as the
Metropol.,an act 1t provides at section 70, that
:. the Board of Police shall, at all times, cause the
..ordiuance of the cities of New.YOrk and Brook
.yn to be properly enforced" At section ., after
. great variety Of general provisions, with regard TO
the public peace, nuisances, mock auctions
gambling. fres lottery policies and so forth; the
Ro,rd are also required 'to obey and enforce all
:. ordinances of Common Councils and Boards OF
.superyi.ors, and town and village authorities
within the said Metropolitan Police District,
"uhicb are applicable to peace or health" There
i. NOT the least danger that the ordinances OF any
CITY in the district will not be eaciently carried
ont bv the new system. Indeed. the only fault
which can be charged on that system Is tina! the
mode Of appointing the Commissioners is not judi
o;ou.. Let us have them chosen BY the people
with proper guards against the predcminance o.
any political party in the ;card, and the 'y-ter

20 on forever, borrowing at two TO Eve per cent
month and getting rich all the while on the rise in
town lots. That may all be- true, but, to our unil-
Illuminated vision, they would get on faster If they
would leave of trading in the soil and go to work
ing it. They might not in that way initiate the
prices Of their lands to such degree, but they
would at least get from them some substantial and
tangible products, and stand a chance to have food
for man and beast through the ensuing Winter,
with some show of freight on their rapidly multi
plying railroads. These can never be made profit
able from the sale Of corner lots alone.

Of California has been aseertained to b 50, O67, Of
which about 300, 900 il American.

From Minnesota, we have letters and papers to
the 23d instant, which still claim q Republican
majority in the Constitutional Convention. The
Minnesofian of the 10Th counts 60 Republicans to
az Democrats, but admits that there are doubts
hanging over the returns in several instances. Add
to this, HenDepin County elects two members as
Council District and four more as Representative
District. The Republicans printed their ballots
correctly and so voted them; the Democrats, by
mistake voted for ak Delegates without dlstin-
gushing between Council and Representative Dis
trcts. The Register OF the County (the Rev. c. G.
Ames), after taking counsel, threw out the Demo
cratic ballots as not cast according to law, where
by all Elk Republicans are of course elected;
whereas if the votes had all been counted, four Of
the Democrats and but two Republicans would
have been chosen. Gov. Medary thereupon re.
moved Mr.. Ames from Office, but the Board of
County Commissioners Immediately reinstated him.
Mr.. Ames did his duty according TO law, and il
uDjustly assailed therefor. He had no right to go
behind the returns nor to presume an intent on the
part of the voters which their ballots did not specify
But the Convention is under no such restraint;
and if the facts shall appear to be as above stated,
we trust that the four Democrats will be admitted
t. their seats 30 as possible after those facts
shall have been established. 1t is Of far less cOa-
sequence that the Republicans should have
majority in the Convention than that they should
refuse to tale advantage of mere BLADDER on the
part Of their adversaries.

The Richmond Examiner has three-co
leader discussing the positions and promises OF
Gov. R. j. Walker in Kansas, and considering
them in more favorable light than does its fiery
neghbor, The South. The facts that the founder
and chief Editor of The Examiner is now Minister
Resident at Turin, while the Editor Of The Rich.
r,ond ENQUIRER, with which rumor says The En-
aminsr is about to be united, expects soon to be
Minister at Naples, may possibly exert some soOth-
ing influence on this usually ultra champion OF
Southern Rights" The Eraminer, however, dis
sents from Mr. Walkers course in some important
respects, but with regard to what it calls The
Main Subject" holds as follows:

We beg leave to assure our contemporary that its
desires shall be more than grati6ed. The "careful
and solemn census recently taken as the basis of
apportionment for this Pro-Slavery Convention,
enumerated less than half the people and voters Of
Kansas, living in about half the organized Coun.

to have been registered by this careful and SOL

shall prefer, and will rally their slender forces to
