THE METHOrOLTTAK POLICE. In reference to tho Metropolitan Polico, he howevor says I can do no more in this message than merely call your attention to tho ablo report of tho Metropolitan Board of Polico of tho cities of New York and Brooklyn, which Is herewith submitted.

It makes startling dovoloymonts of tho increase of crime, and tho jeopardy of lifo and property in thoso great cities, and suggests much radical and amendatory legislation, to tho ond that justioo nnd order may be moro effectually promoted. Immigration, tho State prisons, oducation ond tho census oro next treated of. Tho Govornor, ou tho basis of tho voto at tbo last election as comparod with previous years, estimate tho population of tho State at 4,307,016. The Governor recommends on omeudmont of the soldiers voting laws, to guard againBt abuses which he says have crept in under the preaont not. muTAUT.

During tho past year, according to tho Adutant Ganor ol's Report, tho Slate of Now York has sent 101,614 men into the held, and from tho 15th of April 1861, to tho 1st of Dccombcr. 1801, as appears from data supplied by my predecessor, tho State luniishcd 437,701 men to tho Government, including tho credits undor the dratt of 1863; if this number 409,420 entered tho nrmynnd tbo navy. I Buppose, however, that tho number ot mon reported ob obovo to havo boon sont into tho Hold, includes tho militia who wcro called out ior a brief period of service. quotas oj 1804. Thcro wore throo calls for volunteers, by the President in 180 1.

The quotas under those of Fobruary and March wero filled before the first of July, and on that day thcro stood to tho credit of tbo Slate an oxoess of 6,251 men, to apply on tho subsequent call. Tho quota uuder that of July haB oIbo been filled, as is shown by tho folbwing general summary: Quota under callof Febrnary, 1, 1864 81,003 Quota under oall of March 14, 1804 32,794 Quota under call of July 18, 1864 89,318 Total quota of tho State Tor 1804 301,105 To meet these ore: Tho excess of credits overall calls prior to 18G4, as appears by the account current botween tho United States and tho State of Now York, on Dec. 31, 18C3 61,420 n.

Tho following sensible suggestions aro mado in rogord to BOUNTIES AKD KEOKUITINO.

Tito lnnttov of maintaining tho armies of the Union in a condition for BucceBsful military oporutions has been aud etili continues to bo of tho gravest moment to the country, nnd haB called upon tho peoplo to exorcise a spirit of sacrifice and patriotism uueqmlcd at any former period. There has already como upon us a further call for 300,000 mon, and it is but reasonable to expect that, should tho wor continue, thero will, from time to time, be further for troopa, to fill tho vacancies or capioncd by tho expiration of turms of Borvico and from other causes. Tho experience of tho past yoar in procuring men, and tho oporation of the Bystom of rolBlng bounties, suggest matters for careful consideration, Under the present laws, towns nnd sub districts are authorized to raiso bounties, without any limit as to tho amount, for the puiposo of filling a quota undor an actual call, but cannot raiso them with a viow to obtain ing vcluntccrs to opply on futuro oalls which may bo made. Tho cpcrntlou of this law is nuch thnt during fho intoryrl between tho filling of ono quolo ond the call of onolher, no effort ia put forth and no men oro collated. Tho result is that largo numbers of mon havo to be raised In very limited time, and under tho oxcitoraont and petilion, localities aro constantly over bidding each other, whilo tho men who intend to volunteer hold until this competition shell have rcalizod for thorn the highest possible offers.

The bounties thuB actually paid to volunteers ore very unequal oud aro often tho causo of dissatisfaction among the recruits aftor they have entered tho service lu viow of these facts I would respectfully BUbmit whether it would not bB well to so amend tho law as to fix tho maximum amount which each lccalily could raise by legal taxation, and enablo them to raise and pay theso bountios with a viow to futuro contingencies. The report of the Adjutant General shows that tho enrolled foicc of tho National Guard of tho State is 45,910 men. Tho biennial enrollment for the Militia, as fur as completed, shows 314,383 men. NATIONAL APFAIL1S. The Mcssago concludes with the following viow of national afliiirs The bcBt criterloo of a great peoplo Is their capacity ior endurance.

Mankind Bhow themselves heroic amid buffering and trial so with our anetotors, so Is it with us now. And, having resolutoiy determined to go thus far tn the Btruggle, wo shall not lalter or hesitate when tlio rebellion reels under our heavy blows, when tho victory, upon all tbo methods of calculation, is so near. It is baldly worth while to enter into a goncral (lis cuBBion of tho causes of tho war whioh was forced upon us, or to speak of tho uty of tlio pooplo In tho crisis, Tho flagitious character of the former is seen moro and moro clearly; and tho lattor is bo obvious ond readily accepted, that I could odd nothing to its cloarucss or tho spirit which animates it. In tbo yeais of peoco and prosperity of our country, the northern mind, as a general thing, repOBed in the utfcipatiou that slavery would bo ultimately removed by methods, though peaceful, as imperative and inexorable as are the laws of population and the progreBS of Christian civilization. Tho liko consideration or apprehension rendered the Blavoholding class in tho South politically desperate, ond with tho bitterest hatred towards frco industry, Anally led to tho conspiracy against tho government.

Tho slaveholder contemplated his own olass, which, numerically, did not inoludo moro than ono million and a hall. Ho saw, on the other hand, that tho preponderance of froo labor, with its increasing power and right, would, in the future, govern tho country. It was this viow of tho case which led tho privileged portion or tho South to cntor upon tho project of revolution, and whioh not only meant sepaintlon from tho North, but also a change from a Demociatio to an Arlstocratio Government to abro gato popular government in the South, and create another upon tho ruins of tbo old which should perpotuato slavery. It was a conflict over the iuudamental principles of government. This is alike ovidont from tho purposes of thoso fomonting and.

leading tho revolt and from the ready sympathy with which the treason has been greeted by the opposers of popular govornmcnt in Europe, Wbilst tho patriotio mosses of tho Union who havo struggled to uphold tbo nationality and savo tho life of the Itepublic havo had tho active sympathy of the humnuo and llboral peoplo of Europe, who havo found in tho supporters of Anti Democratic Governments abroad the apollgists, tho advocates, and to eomo ox tent tho aiders and abetters of tho rebel cause. So long aB human boudage could be made a national stigma and dishonor to bring American Democracy into disrepute, the organs of Democracy in Enrope woro open in reviling slavery. But when slavery porpctuttion becamo tho motive for overthrowing popular institutions In America, the rebellion was justified in tho opinion of this class. But wo moy reasonably expect, Is view of transpiring events, and the recont expression of public opinion, that this institution, which has thus always been au clement of weakness and dissension at home, and a source of reproach abroad, will bo eradicated from tho land, It seems to have been so ordered, by an overruling Provi denco, that the mad ambition of those who sought to peipetuato slavery, at the expense of the Union and civil liberty, should not only havo arrayed tho armios ot tho North to overthrow its material power, but should havo stimulated the moral consciousness of the people to a clearer viow of its wickedness and disloyalty, so as for tho first timo in our history to render its uttor extinction feasible. I may safely predict, as I oarocstly hope, that an amendment to tho Constitution will be Bpeedily submitted to the people and adopted by them, which shall forever prohibit slavery within the freo Itepublic of tho United States of America.

Tho Constitution of tho Union makes it the dutv ot the National Government to maintain for tho peoplo of oil tho States republicsn government. It is no less the. duty of each fctite to llarow its whole weight aud influence firmly on the Bide of this great lundamuntal re quiremcnt. This Government our fathers intonded to establish and transmit as a legacy to posterity, Irrespectiro of the divisions Into stttcs, wo ara calloi upon to maintain and porpotuate the trust. Eighty ycara of enterprise, prosperity and progress havo not lessened our obligations or checked our devotion to tho groat cause of civil liberty.

It is not a mistake to assume that whatever exigency may follow, whothor domestio or for elgn, the great, body of tho people will go forward to. meet and overcome it with the samo firm and irresistible energy, wrJcb characterized our ancestors, and, has marked the subsequent course ot out civilization. In this patriotic determination if tho peoplo for unity tnd the Constiiution, I shall at all timoa earnestly join. Beodek FKTOH. BOARDING.

Tho rofcels then lathered tlio' blonkets, knapsacks, which our men left, without losing a man. The attack wsb bo ontircly unexpected and the afftir bo quickly over that tho officers of our picket guard had no time to even give oiders to the mon, with a viow to resistance, until they had fallen back ipon tho intrenchments. Tho assault was of a most furious character, the enemy chorglng with yells and Bring rapidly as they Advanced, very naturally Inducing tho belief that it was an attack in.force.

The scattering Oro maintained by our our pickets during tholr retreat was ineffective, and the enemy did not remain long onoujh for those behind tho intrenchments to bo aroused. Nothing further of interest has ocourred here for a few dayB post. Tho weather continues dlcagreoablo.

GOV. SEYMOUR'S ADDRESS REPLY OF GOVERNOR FENTON. Aldani, January 2, 1805. At noon to day, Governor Fenton, accompanied by his Btaff, proceeded to the Capitol, under escort of the Zouave Cadets. They were received in tho Executivo Chamber by Gov.

Seymour and staff, and thonce proceeded to the Assembly Chamber, where Governor Seymour spoko as follows: OOVEEKOn SETMOUn'fl ADDBF.S3. Fellow Citizen's: Tho offlce of Governor of Now York has always been one of labor and care. To act upon every law touching tho varied Interests of four millions of people, to Bee that thoBO laws aro faithfully oar ried out, to take caro that tho rights of tho people aro upheld; to listen each year to a thousand plea3 for pardon, which ate urged at all times and at all places where a hearing can be gained, for the sacred rights of misery and of suffering can not bo restrained by rules or methods has ever made the position ono of anxiety and of toil. The present war has added to these duties until tho position of Chief Magistrate of this State, calls forth every energy pf body and of mind. Within the past four years New York hos Bent nearly 440,000 mon to tho armies and navies of tho country.

More than thirty thousand military coBuniSBions have been given outjjy tho Execu'lveDerSttrMntduringtho samoperiod. I therefore ask my successor a liberal support in the position whloh ho Is to hold for the noxt two years. This is due as a matter of justice, of wiio economy aud of generous patriotism. Whatever may bo tho course of the war his labors will grow greater. In their nature they are accumulative.

Each year adds to tho use and Iho value of tho records of the offlje, as'theyprove olaims for pensions and bountios. Show the different quotas due from different towns and oountles under tlio calls for men and will in the end be the proofs upon which the General Government, for vast sums of money. I should bo untruo to the position whloh I havo held and unjust to him who now takes that place, if I did not urge upon our people and our Legislature the doty of strengthening his hand by liberal appropriations, which will not only give to bim a sufficient number of assistants, but which will also enable him to call to his support by liberal compensation, men of ability and of experience in publio affairs. I know this policy is demanded by enlightened economy and justice. Mr.

Beymonr then addresaed Governor Fenton: To you, sir, who now' enter upon the duties of Chief Magistrate of this great State, I tender my sincere wishes fbryoucaiiocjcsBfalsdniirilBtrotiou. 'You and 'I look rroon publk affalw1 from different standpoints, and we have held conflicting viows, end1 havo. reached dlffemt conclusions with regard to tho apprencnBions witn rrgaru to your conduct auay'i molivcs; but I do not doubt, sir, official term, although (as tuo30 who have gone boi'orj you have done,) jou may fall into that you will be animated by the consciousness ot having served your State, with zeal, fidelity and integrity. The groat duties end questions of the day will lift you above paislng passions end prejudices, and you will be governed bv the important ybiects of upholding tbo honor of Now York, and saving tho Union of our States. The spot upon which we stand Inspires us with patriotic pride, for in this ancient city was held the flrat Convention of Delegates from the Boveral Colonics at which, by Franklin and others, was drawn up a plan for Colonial Union against foreign hostility and savsgo warfare.

Acting upon tho motto of the Hollanders who planted the first settlement upon the banks of tho Hudson, that Uuity makes might," these delogatos took hero tho first step, which ended in making theBO on feebled and divided sctUomouta into a great confederated power. The capital of New York is tho birth placo of our Union, and to day Now York is tho chief support of that Union, nnd whoeo vital principles were horo first sot forth, and, beyond all other States, upholds by its armios and its treasures, the power of its National Government which was inaugurated in its great emporium. Thcro ia no stain upon its history. From tho time when, at this point, and at the mouth of tho Hudson, colonies wero planted by tho Netherlands, who understood tetter than othor peoplo of that d3y tho principles of civil and religious liberty, NejyYork has evor been foremost in giving a generous wolcomo to all nationalities and creeds, in its bold enterprises, its wise and com prtbenBive system of public education, its generous choiities for the relhi of all forms of suffering audits great workB of internal improvements, which havo built up, not only its own, but tho national prosperity. By virtue of its wise and cencroui nolicv.

It has outstrinned all other States, and now stands first in the Union, in wealth, in population and in power. In your hooping are now placed its honor, its interests and its rights, I i lioll not try to forecast tho future. Too events of the paBt four years have robuked that pride of opinion bich attempts to foretell rc3ults which rest with tho wisdom of a power higher than that of man. But the duty of striving earnestly and hopelally to savo our country remains with us. In tho future, as in the past, wo may be led to follow dlfforent pathways, but may Almighty Gold grant that boforo the end of your term of.

office we may rojoico In common ovor a Union restored, over a return of peace and fratornai relationship throughout our land, and a renewal of that happiness and prosperity which horotofore marked us as among the nations of the earth, GOVHUNOn FHTON'S ATJDBEES.
