FROM NEW YORK.

Advices from New York are as late as the I'd
instant. The unruy demonstrations Of the Pet
Lambs (Ellsworths Fire Zouaves,) has ended in
their being put aboard steamer under guard of
regulars and sent to the Tortugas. The Gotham
ties think it blessed riGdance; although the fact
is not particularly calculated to encourage other
FIRE ladies'" as the Tribune calls them, to enlist
in the Yankee army. The following interesting
items of New York news are from the correspond
ence of the Baltimore Sun
During the present week the cargo Of seven
vessels, valued at million of dollars and
consisting altogether of liquors. have been seized
by the Collector of this port. The steamer Ken
sington of Charleston, S c., was seived yesterday
morning by order of the Surveyor OF the port.
The socialist movement had another meeting on
Wednesday night. Resolutions were passed to
the effect that modification and regulation Of
those laws which affect the working classes is re-
quircd. and the emancipation of labor from CAPT
tai; further, the community is in duty bound. to
guarantee the welfare OF each of its individual
members and that certain social rights and guar
anees are due to the working men, which they do
not get.
\ colored boy, Is years of age, was brought to
the Jefferson market police this morning, in
destitute condition. He proved TO be 50 con-
traband" brought by the Fire Iouaves. He
SAID he had nobody t" look alter him, and had had
nothing to eat for twenty -four hours The justice
ordered him to be sent to the almshouse.
In some of our wards the number Of unoccupicd
stores and dwellings would hardly fail to attrac,
attention even from superficial observer; and
landlords very commonly content themselves with
nominal rent, or nothing at all, rather than lose
occupant whois likely TO pay whenever business
resumes.

Two advertisements are published this
morning, the fret one at the instance Of
the President Of the UAited States, COM
manding the Marshal to attach certain
real and personal property of VIM. Shieles,
and to give notice to all persons claiming
the same, or knowing or having anything
TO say why the same should not be con-
demned to the use of the United States, to
appear before the District Attorney on the
2Sth of November next, to interpose their
claims and make their allegations in that
behalf
The second advertisement published by
order of the Court is in accordance with
the first, and sets forth that William
Shields, formerly of Washington, some

sistanoe to the laws Of the United States of

We again have the report from Washing.
ton that the order for Fremonts removal
from the command Of the Western Depart
msnt has been issued, accompanied by let
tsFs ofinstTuction to Gen. Hunter, his sue
oessOr, ell Of which We are inclined to be-
Heve. And believing it, We acquiesoe in
it. For We know that after the intense ex-

which was heard from the people upon the
FIRST announcement Of the removal Of Ere
mont that the Administration would not
take this step without what seemed to it
good and just cause. And while We may
heartily regret any necessity for this actiOn,
i is our duty and that Of every loyal oiti-
sen to support, rather than retard, the ao-
ton Of our Executive. To the Administra.
ion is cOnhded the safety Of our country,
and with it the responsibility Of success or
defeat in this struggle. In order that it
may use to the best advantage all means
81 its command, it must be sustained by
the people, and, 50 far IS in our power, We
shall sustain it While, therefore, VIC have
faith in Fremont, we have equal faith in
the Administration, and it being the supe.
rior power, we hold that if it finds it nee
sssary to remove Fremont, or any other Of
its officers, the people should loyalty acqui-
esce in the decision. 5eEf
