Important Political Movements—The Cass Meeting To-night—VYew Democratic Mect- ing on Thursday Night. Itwill be perceived from pr advertising columns, that some important politic®l meetings will be held this week, which will have a very remarkable bearing on the election of the next President.— First—There 1s to be a meeting held to-night by the democratic friends of General Cass ut Concert Hall. This meeting is called together by Mr. John M’Keon, who has been attached to the democratic party from his youth upward, and has received as the reward of his fidelity probably fifty or sixty thousand dollars. In the present state of the pub- lic question affecting the Baltimore nomination, the frends of General Cass seem to think that he has some chance of being taken as a third man in pre- ference to Mr. Van Buren. A more silly—a more fallacious idea never occurred to any person hav- ing common sense. Mr. Van Buren, and no other— known to us at an early hour, but the ends of pubiic justice prevented us from giving them publicity un- til this morning, which we now proceed to do in full detail. About’ten days since, the captain of a schooner lying at Peck slip came into the porter house of a man named Clark, in that vicinity, about daylight in the merning, and said he believed that there must be some smuggling going on about the vicinity, as he eaw several cabs on the wharf near the packet ship Oxford, in which persons were placing pieces of broadcloths. Clark immediately placed himself on the watch and traced the cabs to the house of Benjamin Parker, day police ‘officer of the Fourth Ward in James slip. He then gave no- tice to Mr. Taggart, the Surveyor of the Port, who immediately? ordered the house of Parker to be searched, when fifteen cases of broadcloths were recovered, valued at from $10,000 to $12,000. In a short time after officer Godfrey, of the cus- toms, and an associate, obtained knowledge of the removal of other cases in another conveyance and gave chase in the upper part of the city. They fol- lowed at utmost speed, after ascertaining that they were on the right track, and but a few minutes in the rear of the vehicle, until reaching Kingsbridge, when the long sought for carriage, containing seve- ral bales of cloths and carpets was discovered un- more with the connoiseur than with the public at large. partly by its differing from the usual tinkling and tickling style of Donizetti and Co., and partly from its amalgamation with Haley’s and Meyer- beer's school. Less care is therefore bestowed on melodious airs than on instrumentation, and its adaptation to the spirit and character ef the words, which must contribute to raise its value as a com- position, although it has, on the other side, the usual defects of the modern school, consisting in a preponderence of the wind instruments over the string instruments. M’lle Borghese was in much better yoice thanthe first tume, using her pure and throughout pleasing voice to much greater advantage. She was over- whelmed with applause, and achieved genuine tri- umphs. She does not possess the power of Castel- lan, which took the audience by storm, but @ rare perfection, the result of a long and judicious study She is decidedly one of the very best acting singers which it has been our fortune to see. Majocchi and Valtellina did their best to make the want of a second basso cantante less sensible,but did not succeed, although their individual efforts, perneaiarty thee of the latter, were very praise- worthy. Riccardo must be sung by a baryton, else the morcaux d "ensemble and the “suoni la tromba intrepida” upon which nearly the entire succes+ depends, must be spoiled, as in fact Majocchi’s part of “se wn fantasma vedrai” was left out.

Those parts sung by persons with voices do but little contribute to the success of an opera, but sung by dumb singers can seriously en- danger it. The house was well filled, except the second tier. will be the candidate of that convention, as soon as it meets. And General Cass has no more chance of being even named, than the man in the moon. The project, then, of holding public meetings of his particular friends, and making speeches, and pass- ing resolutions, and indicating such a nomination, is a project intended solely by its authors to support their own interests. Mr. John McKeon isa sort of “little beggar- man” attached to the democratic party in New York. He considers all the Irish Repealers as his stock in trade, and his great object heretofore has been to obtain an appointment on some diploma- tie mission, which Mr. Van Buren has refused.— Mr. McKeon's purpose, therefore, is to threaten to injure Mr. Van Buren’s nomination, or rather his election by diverting a portion of the democratic strength into another direction. This is John’s purpose. ‘The meeting to-night, therefore, of the friends of General Cass, cannot amount to anything—and will not amount to anything. These “particular friends” have held several meetings—in Boston— in Pittsburg—and elsewhere; but all, so far as we have been able to ascertain, have been miserable failures. No doubt General Cass is a very excel- who were endeavoring to escape with the goods. These men were brought back and lodged in pri- son, This seizure whetted the appetites of the officers of the customs, who receive a share of all reco- vered, and a close look out was kept for several days in the vicinity of the ship Oxford and the Montezuma, but,without any discoveries. On Friday night last a one-armed, lame man came to the barge office and gave notice to the offi- cers on duty that he had seen eighteen large bales of goods removed from the Oxford that evening. The captain of the night watch immediately sent men to keep a look out, but nothing was discover- ed that night. On Sunday evening Collector Curtis came to the barge office. soon after ‘dark, and or- dered two night watchmen to repair tothe deck of the Oxford, and one other to take his station at the head of the pier. About three o’clock yesterday morning the first mate of the Oxford, whose name we believe is Gage, formerly of Boston, in com- pany with another person, came on board the ves- sel, and invited one of the Custom House officers, named Cook, into the cabin, and he there openly introduced his associate as the importer of the goods, and then offered Cook $100 if he would per- suade his associates away so that they could take out the remainder of the goods belonging to the Curatino Emtonant Passexoens—A man, named Hiram Husted, who hus been engaged with ot! in an office for obtaining passengers to the west, was arrested yester- lay by officer James L. Smith on a charge of fraud, in selling @ ticket for passage on a line that he was not authorized. The circumstances as charged are, that Patrick Marmon him $5 for a passage to Albany in the Housatonic Railroad line, for which he received a ticket marked “Railroad Line to Albany,” and signed by fliram Husted asagent. The ticket was found to be worthless, andthe aeent of the Housatonic railroad line testified that Husted has ne coanection with that line in any. manner. He wastully committed to answer fence. Coroner’s Office ru. 5.—The Coroner held an in- quest yesterday at Blackwell's Island, on the body of a woman named Sarah Benjamin. who hed been committed on the 4th of December asa vagrant. A post mortem ex- amination resulted in the opinion, “that her sudden death, which took place on Saturday, was occasioned by a spon- taneous rnpture of an ancurismal sack at the arch of the wota.” ‘The jury returned a verdict in accordance with this opinion. Express ovER THE ATLANTIC.—While steam was frozen up in Boston the wind was blowing the Montezuma across the Atlantic at the rate of twelve miles an hour. She left Liverpool on the 8th January; passed Care Clear on the 12th; crossed the Banks on the 24th. Onthe 29th she dipped into a gale.

He said “hat this suggestion might appear of little consequence, out it was of much importance to many of the unfortu- aate convicts confined in the prison, and this was the only method that he could take of calling the attention of the public authorities to this subject. He also said that he aad been informed that the Commissioners of the Alms House rarely, if ever, visited the prison in order to ascer+ tain what were the wants of the inmates, and to their ibsence might be attributed the neglect complained of. He also pointed out the evils of promiscuous confinement, as practiced in the city prison, and dwelt with much force upon the want of classification of prison- ers. That innocent and guilty, young and old offenders, ind novices incrime, were thus thrown together, the evil endencies of which was apparent to all who had any <nowledge of the contagion of crime. He concluded by salling the attention of the jury tothe extent of crime among children, who were daily brought beiore the police, and attributed it solely to the evil practices of juuk shops and receivers of stolen goods, and trusted that when sither of these last named offenders were brought before hem, they would bt sae such justice as would seem necessary for the public good,and that the court would see che sentence of the law fully executed. Alter alluding to the several statutes incumbent upon the Court to charge, the Grand Jury retired ‘The End of the Conspiracy Insurance Case,—Immediate- ‘y after finishing the call of the Grand and Petit Juri Spwano Sasoroap, Esq. Counsel for Messrs James Ber- sen and J. G Haniltom, rose and stated that he had de- nurred to an indictmefit egsinst these individuals, and iow appeared to state) that it could scarcely be necessary ior the prosecution to urge an argument, as thisindict- nent was even worse than the former one,where thisCourt nad already decided that the accused had committed no overt act of crime, for in this indictment the acts charged lid not come within any criminal law, and Mr. Sandford valled upon the Counsel for the Insurance Company to say whether he could urge any prosecution under such cir- sumatances, when that gentleman stated that the indict- nents had been drawn at the suggestion ofthe insurers , ind the District Attorney had had nothing to d» with it, the pier, and after much solicitation, and many earn- est appeals on the part of the mate, who plead, first with tears in his eyes, alleging that the loss of the duties was a loss to the nation alone, while the ex- posure would be ruin to him and his family. And after finding that his ameals were useless the im porter then put his hand in his pocket and offered to give Christal $1000 in cash if he would persuade the other two men away long enough to allow them to remove the balesof goods from the vessel be- longing to him, and throw them overboard, so that she could not be seized by the officers of the cus- toms. This Christal refused, saying that he was a sworn officer of the Government, and would not violate his oath for any amount. Entreaties and bribery being ineffectual, partial threats were thrown out, and while the parties were thus in con- sultation, Admiral Van Buskirk, of the night guard, made his appearance, and the mate and importer escaped. The latter is supposed to have car- ried on business in Cedar street, and is repre- sented as a small man, with light complex- ion. The mate has been in the employ of the owners of the Line for several years, and had so obtained their confidence that he was to be placed in command of the ship on the next voyage. As far as can be ascertained, there were forty-five cases of these goods on board, which he had agreed to smuggle in free of duty, for the small sum of $200. Neither the owners of the packet Capt. Rathbone, her commander, or her agent had the most distant knowledge ot this transaction, but had relied upon the mate as honest and correct in every particular. p Twenty bules of cloths and carpets being found on board of the Oxford, of the same importation and marks as those previously smuggled, she was seized by the Collector of the Port, and will be confiscated. Six cases and two bales were also found on board of the Montezuma, but as no known ely, had been made to land them, she was not seized, althongh it is not supposed that any owner willclaim them. They will therefore fall to the share of the officers of the customs and the govern- ment, and as the vessel seized is worth probably $16,000, or upwards, and the cloths and carpets as much or more, the collector, surveyor and officers concerned in the seizure, will pocket a very hand- some dividend of the smuggler’s losses. There is no doubt, from what we have learned, that this business of smuggling has been carried on toa great extent for the past several peateatire larly in small cases of silks and cloths, that have been passed out of the cabin windows of vessels into small boats that have been dropped astern for that purpose. We have a list of persons who have Signed—J, T. Adams, R. L. Goddard, R. T. Kennedy, E. H. Gillilau, J. B. Braxton, J, Jaffery.

So much for this “demonstration.” But while this is our opinion jof the meeting to- night, we have a very different conception of the character and tendencies of the meeting to be held on Thursday night at Vauxhall, being the Fourth Congressional District of this city, and in- tended for the purpose of concentrating all the dis- cordant elements of the democratic party,and form- ing a new party to hold a convention on the 4th of July in Philadelphia. They propose to make the first movement here on Thursday night, by the elec- tion of a delegate on the pure district system, as in- dicated by Mr. Calhoun’s letter. The call for this meeting, it will be perceived, is addressed to the friends of all the candidates in opposition to Mr. Van Buren. It willtherefore include Com. Stewart, John Tyler, Mr. Calhoun, General Cass, Col. John- son, Mr. Buchanan, and Mr. Anybody-else. This is one of the most important movements which we have seen atternpted of late years; for it will effec- tually test the question whether there is in the de- mocratic party a spirit of dissatisfaction and dis- content, sufficient to generate a new formation and anew party. We have seen enough during the last year, in the singular development of the Ame- rican Republicans as a party, tu satisfy us that there is a great deal of discontent amongst a large portion both of the whigs and democrats. A great many persons, “natives” too, ate dissatisfied with the principles on which the American Repub- licans, as a party, are formed These men think that now is the time to meet on the broadest and most liberal principles, and to organize by the elec- tion of delegates on the district system, to meet in ageneral convention on the 4th of July, and to create a new democratic party, that will not only demolish Mr. Van Buren, but may consign to utter oblivion both him and Mr. Clay, with all the “ old hunkers” of both the old parties. We shall look, therefore, with a good deal of in- terest upon this meeting, and ;endeavor to give a Payne re Watcumen.—The resolution paymg the watchmen of the corporation twenty-five cent: per night, extra, for services rendered from the 10th of last May to November Ist, when their pay wat reduced to #1, which was vetoed by the Mayor, was again called up in the Board of Aldermen last evening, and negatived by a vote of 4to 12. The speculators who have bought up the claims of the watchmen on per centage, will be compelled to pocket the loss, and the tax payers have thus avoid- ed paying $22,000, which was the amount of the demand.

Tue Native American Party—First Warp — There was a large meeting of the Native Ameri- cans of the First Ward, held last night at the Henry Clay House, 117 Washington street, which has been chosen as the head quarters of the ward. Several excellent and spirited resolutions were adopted, which will be found in our advertising columns. The march of Young America is steady, sure and triumphant. The voice which will be heard at the next charter election proclaiming her power, will cause the ‘old hunkers” to tremble. Then we may expect police reform, retrenchment, and an enforcement of our city ordinances relative to cleaning the snow and ice from the sidewalks which at present have become a dead letter.
