[FROM OUR BfioC"11 CWKRESPOXDEST.J NEW YORK, May 13.- The Suntu.? closing hr has beeu revoked and repealed- no! the Divin Law which seems to give no one any exlraordinalf degree of concern, but the human eudorscmeii which it appears was necessary lo render it hine ing. It has been clearly demonstrated and prove that there is a point beyond which the powers ? the Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police hoi extend not, and. strange t" say, that point seem tobe that he dare not insist upon comp? liing mo to respect the Sabbath day. The grout cxcitenici among the individuals who sell Sunday candy an Sabbath segars, and the barbers who shave on Hi Day of Rest, and soil their seuls as they clean tu faces, and the restaurant men. ami thu apolhcc: ries, and thc venders of milk, aud so fort! had arisen to such a pitch ol intensity th: it was actually whispered about ur rather t:ilk? about in a loud voice Ibal the i xccuiion nf Ibu la would be resisted Ot et annis, or al least tltrlrifu et brickbatts-whereupon Sti'rei ititendenl Kotnied fearing that ho had gone too t'.<r. came buck: haste, surrendered unconditionally, and mailt! il clearest and most emphatic kimi nf a back dow But while segars may bo sold and smoked on tl Sabbath day-while milk may bc bought ai drunk-wh?e candy may bc purchased and cati in quantities that univ produce sickness, and bitt drugs may be bought to counteract tho effect the sweet candy-while barbers mav shave us ai restaurant keepers l'c^t^?n tho Lord's Day-tl Excise Law still hollis its sway, ami neither liquor nor lager hoer can In' sold .nu! imbibed on Sunday except sub rxuto and at thc risk of thc penally iii i a.-c of detection. Bul they tell us that there is lo bo a rinl yet. and they foll us there will not be. Time ?'iii show. The spring meeting at the Hoboken race course opens to-morrow with three races -a hurdle race ot two miles over six hurdles, a dash for one and a liait miles, und a dash of a single milo, and thu ?rst meeting nf thc American Jocky Club takes place at Jerome Park on thc 2"Jd inst. Leonard VV. .brome, with the assistance of Dr. Irving, has revolutionized thc niasses here insomuch ?ts re? garda the fjiidncss tor the sports of thu turf, and the .1111101111011110111 of a race now produces here quite as much excitement as it would havo done in Charles ou tn- New Orleana in thc olden tune. Tlieenthusiasm nilli which night lifter night at ? Walla.;ks. thc great Derby race scene in tho Flying Scud is received, is a straw which shows how' the popular wind blows. In this scene the mirror is so Itctd up to na:ure that thc reflection looks like na? ture herself-wc behold thc race track crowded with men, women and children, negro minstrels among the masses, circus men performing their teats, Punch shows in full blast, boys lighting and t ho crowd cheering, gaming tables and men playing, in fact everything precisely as we ?co it on a"race course. Ami then tho race-the horses small when vicwo lat a distance, increasing in size as they near us, and the winner "living Scud,'' coming in upon thc slape covered with foam, and bestrided by thc oldjoekev who bad noe ridden for forty years, but rode Flying Scud to savo the race, tho rider having been dragged by those who had bet against the favorite. As there* is but little merit in thc play, with the exception of ibo tine effect produced hy this scene, and as thc piece al? most outdraws tho Black Crook it-self, it suons that Jerome and Dr. Irving have boon successful, and that the pooplo of New York have begun to take a lively interest in the delightful sports of the turf. The Herald of to-day's issue publishes a list of the huge number of Richmond's in thu Held that desire to go to Washington in thecapacitv of Pres? ident and Vice President, and though tlie people of the South (very properly) do i.ot fuel any ex? traordinary interest in the matter, it may not be amii-s at any rate to givo the list for the benefit nf your readers if only to bo received as information. Tennessee uomiuates Gen. George H. Thomas and Gen. John A. Logan ; Indiana proposes Colfax and Beast Butler ; Ohio wanta Chase and John Minor Botts : thc Herald hangs on to Grant and Lee ; New York prefers Grant and Farragut, and Maine goes in for-or comes out for-Wendell Phillips and one Isaac Newton, who is not tho philosopher. Five thousand thirsty individuals who could not obtain a drink here yesterday, not because it was not to bc had, but because they were in unblisslnl ignorance as to the whereabouts of tho sub ronti places-five thousand thirsty men wont over to Hoboken and paid their respects to the whiskey and lager, which can bo found there even on the Sabbath day. I verily believe that should a law bc passed prob ibiting the sale of liquor and beer altogether, and could such a law bo enforced, these live thousand Sunday emigrants, and at least two hundred thousand more, could lcavo New i'ork for good-or for bad-and scok a homo in a more congenial and less temperate clime. It is as ?veil c::ough for Cassio. aller he had been drunk, to rail against men who put the enemy into their mouths, but mcu aro fond of Ibo enemy, in fact they regard lum as a friend, and "men may come and men may go,"' but they'll drink on forever. ".Mark Twain," tho humorist (Samuel Clemens), delivered his first lecture last night, at the Cooper Institute. Twain, while ho lacks tho broad hu? mor of poor Artemus Ward, is yet sufficiently witty to be worthy to attempt to supply tho place of his, 1 would almost say, illustrious predecessor. With Artemus Ward we were more amused by tho maimer in which his witticisms were let oil' than ; by thc matter itself; while with Twain tim humor- I ons sayings would have almost ns good effect in print.

FULL AND INTERESTING PARTICULARS. OCR RICHMOND CORRESPONDENCE. RICHMOND, May IL-Well, here 1 am, in this loveliest of American cities, "beautiful for situa? tion," and endeared to evory Southern heart for ber niauy brave mcu and fair women-men, who in the hour tif trial were found at the post of duty, and women, God bless them, wita through four long anti terrible! years never ceased lo give lucir noblest svmoaiiiics ano uticeiaou to mu callee they held dear. t? the strong heart* that Buffered and bled for it. Tho city set ujiou the bills will ever occupy a gr? en spot in our memories. Rut these ?ire by-gones. This fair city has laid by thc habili? ments of war and of mourning, and once again ar? rayed herself in thc garb of youth and beauty. Thu "Royal JcenuV' is no longer "oi. the rampage, ' the fields beyond the flood (over ii Chesterfield) arc dressed in living green. Tho graceful lindens, tho lofty elms, tho beautiful ailautus, anti the ma? jestic tulip trees, are all decked in tho latest "spring fashions." Thc Capital Square, green with the luxuriant blue grass, unlive to Ihc soil, looks familiar ; and there is the identical statue of WASHINGTON, just as of old, though wo observo an addition to the family since last wo gazed ui>on that serene but determined countenance. Chief Justice MARSHALL now forms one of thc group mourning round tho Father of his country. The streets show but few traces of tho war. Tlie last vestigo nearly of the great fire of April, 18(!5. has been oblitoratod, and Main and Cary, Bunk and Franklin streots, and tho cross streets from 15th up to 9th, nave all been rebuilt, und in a oiylo far surpassing their former selves. Those hugo buildings, known during tho war us Hospitals, now once more fill their pristiuc destiny, in tho manu facture of'"'pluck" tobacco. Tho street cars, too, are miming again. All is its of old, save our friends tho freedmen. They are on the rampage now. For the bettor understanding of these diffi? culties with the negroes ol'Richmond, 1 would in? form your readers, that in this city formany years, the negroes have been much less docile than was tho caso in Charleston, for instance, or almost any other city in tho South. They were employed in large tobacco factories, from one hundred to three hundred sometimes in ?i single establishment, and whether hired or owned, generally received board wages, that is, the mat ulacturer paid each one ol them a fixed amount every Saturday night, where? with to p.-aiuUiii himself during thu coining week. But little responsibility was felt by tho owner or hirer, us far as concerned tho conduct of thc ne? groes when oil'duty. Bad habits of various "and* were thus, if not encouraged, certainly not cheek? ed, aud a degree of freedom allowed, which wat not good for them. When emancipation caine it appeared to have ii more intoxicating effect upon thura here than any? where else in the South, as far as 1 have beard and thoy have boen ever since disposed to h.- ven . obstreperous" and unruly in this city. They havi had their "militia companies," and strutted aboil in great stvlo, "plavin" sogcr;" and even sinc< these organization> navo been prohibited by tin General commanding Ibo First Military District Mr. Freedman has nevertheless continued bi: sludv of tactics. .Much of this is certainly duo t< the incendiary intermeddling of hungry adven tiners like HI.'NNICUTT (called "thc dclcctnhh cuss" by the papers hero), and others of that ilk who find their profit in such mischief making. Wi have boen having riots here almost every day dur iug the past week, and when wo have none then is a constant apprehension, which is almost as bad As I suppose you have bait tho particulars ol'Hies already from your Richmond exchanges, 1 wil hasten ou io nobler themes. There was quite a gathering of notabilities din? ing the last lew days, who came here to witnes the trial of Mr. DAVIS. .Mr. Uwnr.uwoop, I beg hi pardon. Judge U.

Tins Judge's charges have become fr mons, perhaps 1 should say infamous, and are no' looked for as regularly as oliy other uunvoidabl nuisance. Whether this last charge, the vilest and moss slanderous he has yet delivered, was inspired h the three or four negroes whom his eyes were d< lighted to see on the jury, and whe ller he wishu in astonish these colored natives with the imparti lulled impudence with which he dared, in ope day. 11 insult a whole community ol' ladies un gentlemen, the least of whom are his betters.

Mr. O'Conor-The condition ol' this caso Un upon us the duty of presenting to your Hoi c iiisideratioii some of thc circumstances altem it. Joiiorson Davis Ins been imprisoned ain thc power of Iho Government, so that any s thought expedient, just and consistent with sc policy, might have been taken against him a ' long time ago. His imprisonment commenced thc 19th day ol' April, 1805. In this court an dicitnent was presented agnitist him in May, 1 Mr. Davis has been at all times since hi.-i iinprii ment, mid particularly during thc last year or ii of thal imprisonment, exceedingly anxious to ti Hie quo liions arising on any indictment wi might be presented.
