Removal of the New York Police commissioners.
ALBANY, December 31.-The Governor has
removed the Metropolitan Police Commission
ers and appointed in their places Jos. 5. Dos
worth and WA. McMurray, Of New York, and
VIM. B. Lewis, of Brooklyn.
Governor Seymour takes the ground that
since their answer to the charges made against
them, there we're good grounds for their re-
lnoval, but he was unwilling to make any
change during the excitements OF the past
season, but that an official report lately made
to him by the Commissioners about the riots
ia July last, was sectarian and partisan, and
shows that the Commissioner have departed
from an impartial and dispassionate position az
public officers, and that they have lost their
usefulness The passage complained Of reads
as follows:
''These violent proceedings had political
design and direction, and received encourage
ment from newspapers and partizans Of in
fuence and intelligence The Board Of Police
have been threatened with summary removal,
which they expect to occur immediately
Numbers OF the force desired their removal,
and there were not ing instances Of insub-
ordination, the fruit Of expected change a
large ortion of the force were Of the same
nationality and political and religious faith OF
the liotous mob.

that a dispatch has been received by the French
Government from The United States Govern
ment declaring that the American Repul lie
would never tolerate, much less recognize,

A writer in the Bankers Magazine says
"From reliable details it appears that the pro-
duction of gold and silver throughout the
world has quadrupled since the first discovery
of gold in California, (ls4S-'9.) The produc-
ton annually, in the years 1865, was esti-
mated at s5l, 900, 900, Of which Russia and
Mexico were the principal sources. Now the

GEN. JoHNsToN's ARMY. The army cor
respondent Of the Savannah Republican writes
as follows in reference to the movements Of
Gen Johnston (late Hardec's army:
''The belief is said to be entertained very
generally in Georgia that the army was engaged
in repairing the roads and conStru citing bridges
in it's rear with view to falling back upon
Atlanta. Having heard that some uneesiness
was felt upon this subject, [ called upon General
Hardee before leaving Dalton, and | have his
authority for saying that he has not the Ica>t
thought Of retiring from his PRESENT position
but on the contrary, If the enemy should at"
vance this winter; which he does not teheye
they will do, he will dispute every foot Of
ground from Tunnel Hill to Atlanta. He be-
leved, moreover, that If the absentees VIII re-
turn to duty and the people at home Will con
tinue 70 supply the army with means OF sezS'--
sistence, the Federal army will never sncceed
in reaching Atlanta any more than 1t has sue
ceeded in reaching Richmond?

resigned, and that the Governor will order an
election to fill his place, but this cannot be III
