s;oners-thst il, Messrs. Nye, Bowen and Stranahsa
met AT the office in White street, at I'D O'Clock yeste
dsy morning A messenger arrived soon afer, and
breathlessly announced to Mr.. Bowen that Mr.. Chol
wei, and his brother were coming TO the city q fst
AZ possibe; but that some detention had occuredto
the train which was bringing them from Connecticu
and Mr.. Jacob could not get here and be with NE
Board before lol. Alter waiting reasonable time
after that Mr.. Nye said he saw that Jacob would not
be there and adjourned the Board for one day.
Immediately after the adjournment OF the Board the
three Commissioners held private consultation with
District Attorney Hall. Tue result did not transpe.
The following letter was received from Simeon
Draper:

II is very generally believed shat Mr.. Draper with.
drew from the Board under a misapprehension. Be-
eyipc that the action of the other members 10 certain
cases was Influenced by persona hostility to himself,
he sent his resignation to the Governor. But it Is
mite clear that the Governor had no right to accept
the resignation, inasmuch as he has no power TO I'LL
the vacancy, The resignation cannot take elect, It
il conteuded until il has been formally laid before the
Board of Police Commissioners and accepted. This
ha, not vet been done. II Is also rumored that Mr.
Draper is sorry that the Commission has been
brought to dead lock through the factious conduct
of Mr.. Cholwell; and were he assured that ne had
been mistaken in supposing that personal hostility to
himself had prompted the action of his colleagues he
would reconsider his action, and resume MS seat In
the Board as he has perfect right to do The friends
of the new police law say that In doing this ne would
wisely reconsider hasty and iladyised determine

being made to Mr.. Draper which renders 1t probable

The charges of INSTRUMENTATION preferred against the
Deputy Superintendent by the Mayor are certainly
very funny. Mr.. Wood, having so lorg set an ex.
ample of INSTRUMENTATION, should be the last man TO
complain of il in others. Perhaps Mr. Carpenter and
hi. men have not quite forgotten that when they were
ordered by the Court to serve certain process the
LII. nptx,r ofr ~
obey il but broke their heads for attempting TO do their
duty. Such fragrant insubordination in superior
officer is apt to create want of respect among hs
subordinates. The cream of the joke, however, 10
this: Deputy Carpenter Gays that he did not make
use of the language imputed to him. On
tie contrary he AYERS that he was good deal
mere emphatic in expressing his opinion OF Fernando
Wood And what is more, he intends to justify it, II
placed upon trial. VIII Mayor Wood have tho
courage to 60 to White street and help make quorum
to try the Deputy Superintendent for his offenss
VIII Mayor Powell do it BY the way, it is regarded
as passing strange by those who have been wont 10
consider Mr. Powell as a consistent man, that he
should, after the decision of the Court of Appeals,
declare that he would sit with the Board, and help
them carry out the law to the best of his ability, and
now be kagued with Mayor Wood to defeat il by
every possible device. Such q result would scarcely
have been looked for by those who heard Mayor
Powell few weeks since at the Board of Emigration
Commissioners affirm that the best place for Fernando
Wood was the lunatic asylum. But politics makes

We observe, too, that Mr.. w. NJ. Mcclellan appears
