NEW YORK HERALD. ‘New York, Friday, May"31, 1844, BISHOP HUGHES AGAIN. ANOTHER LETTER! We shall publish an EXTRA HERALD this morning at 8 o'clock, containing a second Letter from the Right Rev. Bishop Hughes, on matters and things in general and the natives in particular, News for Europe. That favorite of steamships, the Britannia, Cap- tain Hewett, will leave Boston to-morrow for Hali- fax and Liverpool, This afternoon at 4 o'clock, her letter bags will close in this city. We shall therefore publish in this evening’s edition of the Herald, a complete synopsis of all the fashionable, political, and commercial intelligence that may reach us this morning from any part of this conti- nent. It will be ready, in and out ot wrappers, at two cents per copy, at half past three o’clock pre- visely ‘The Democratic Nominations at Last—Sin- gular Denouement tn Baltimore, The city was astounded yesterday afternoon, on the arrival of the Railroad train from Philadel- phia, with intelligence from Baltimore, that the re- gular Democratic Convention had unanimously no- tminated James K. Poux, of Tennessee for Presi- dent, and Sinas Wrianr, jun. of New York, for Viee President. The complete and final defeat of Van Buren and Cass, has a most amusing and ex cruciating effect on the nervous system of the de- mocracy. The details of this interesting denouément, with the intelligence down to the latest hour on Wed- nesday evening, will be found annexed. So at last Mr. Van Buren, the statesman, the po- litician, the ‘great magician,” the man who walked so steadily in his “ predecessor's footsteps” has at last got off the track, and is finally con- signed to the philosophic shades of Lindenwald, on the banks of the beautiful Hudson, tor the remainder of his natural life. This is a blow quite unexpected to his friends; but on look- ing calmly back on the last sixteen years, many will exclaim that it is what he had reason to expect. Inthe year 1828, Mr. Van Buren was the ‘* master spirit,” who entered into a movement that defeated the succession of Mr. Calhoun, after the first term of General Jackson. During the last three years Mr. Calhoun has returned the com- plement, and has been the unseen power which conducted the movement that has defeated Mr Van Buren’s last and fondest hopes. With the help of * Tyler and Texas,” this has been in a great degree effected—yet not altogether. Mr Van Buren might have weathered the storm, but for the false lights held out by the Evening Post clique of this city, whose opinions on the Texas question he supposed to be the opinions of the de- mocracy. Mr. Van Buren, in some measure, has been destroyed by his own friends—he has fallen a victim to the ignorance and arrogance of his con- fidential advisers. Of the nomination of Mr. Polk we hardly know how to speak seriously. A more ridiculous, con- temptible and forlorn candidate, was never put forth by any party. He has neither the vigor, res- pectability nor the elements of any reputation, even half so much as Captain Tyler and all the family, including the cracked head of old Wat Tyler. Mr. Polk is a sort of fourth er rather fortieth-rat’ lawyer and small politician in Tennessee, who by accident was once speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives. He was rejected even by his own state as governor—and now he comes forward as candi- date of the great democracy of the United States. Oh! what a ridiculous finale. Captain Tyler, with the patronage of government in his hands, and the “spoils” 2 j a Maine em N.

Polk, of Tennes- see, for President of the United States, by a Unanimous Vote! Baxrmone, Wednesday, May 29, 7 P. M. The convention assembled at 9 o’clock, when Mr. Mc- Nulty, from Obio, withdrew the ree he had made on Tuesday evening, to appeal from the decision of the chair, relative to the reconsideration of the vote compel ling @ two-third vote of the convention to secure the nomination of the candidate for President and Vice, when Mr. Dawson, of Pennsylvania, moved that the conven- tion proceed to a ballot. Mr. Tissatts, from Kentucky, rese and withdrew the name of Col. Richard M. Johnson as a candidate for the Presidency, by saying that the delegation from that State peat) on the first ballot, cast their votes for another gen: tleman, The eighth ballot then took place, and resulted as fol- lows :— MAING ifs 523s, 1 : New Hampshi ‘i ES Vermont, 6 é be Rhode Island As : ‘ bi Massachusett . 6 7 . oe Connecticut, 3 6 os a " New York, 36 Pe Xe ; ~ New Jersey, 1 5 be ie 1 Pennsylvania, 2 1 2 es 1 Delaware, py 3 fe 3 i 6 1 3 2 8 0 1 " et 9 aa 1 ; Bis ay 9 Ls i Mississippi, ce 6 a Louisiana, ee 6 Tennessee, . 4 18 Kentucky, 19 ty 5 Ohi 2 é : rT : $ Llinois,. 8 Michigan,. . ; 5 : Missouri A as 3 Arkans site 3 10414 “4 2 Mr. Brewster of Pennsylvania, rose and said, that the delegation from that State had been ructed to vote fo.

The singular result of all these laughable doings of the democracy in Baltimore, will be the ele. tion of Henry Clay, by a larger majority thao ever was received by Jackson or Harrison. With Polk and Tyler in the field to divide the democracy, who, were they rolled into one person,would hardly make a man, Mr. Clay must get the State of New York with perfect ease. The same state of demo- cratic disorganization will lead to the same results in other States. The presidential election may be said to be decided as soon as it opens. The democracy will be scattered to the four winds of heaven among their several candidates, and Clay will have enly to walk over the course. The succeasion will soon similar sentiments, but went further, ry to see that Pennsylvania had already violated her pled tleman from Pennsylvania arose to speak, when Mr. to retire to co vote until they returned. Mr. Hickay, a delegate from Pennsylvania, expressed he was sor- jge. Hon. Judge Brepow of Pennsylvania, now got the floor and said, he arose to throw oil over the attempt made by Mr. Hi ‘man to distract the delegates, and another gen ra. zer of the same State moved to proceed to balloting. He said he had and would again vote for Polk, who was the early, warm and steadfast friend of Old Hickory—a loco- ‘oco democrat, and opposed to the iflag of England being planted on the continent of America.—(Great cheering and enthusiasm followed ) Mr, Buturn asked leave for the New York delegation ult, and requested the convention not to Gen.

POLK, OF TENNESSEE. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, SILAS WRIGHT, Jr. OF NEW YORK. They were chosen by a Unanimous Vote. DEMOORATIO CONVENTION. Bacrimone, Wednesday,May 29, 6 P. M Nomination of James K. Polk of Te see for the Presidency—and Silas Wright, jr. of New York, for Vice. ‘This letter is written as a brief summary of the results of this extraordinary day’s work here, James K. Poux, of ‘Tennessee, was nominated on the 2d ballot this morning, by 211 votes, as the Democratic Gan- didate for the Presidency ! |! He was brought forward as soon as the convention met this morning in a speech byGov. Hubbard shire, and that State immediately cast her vote for him, so did Alabama, Louisiana, and Tennessee, with 7 votes from Massachusetts, (!) 2 from Penasylvania, a of New Hamp- 1H 1 fro: Maryland ; thus giving him 44 votes on the ballot. | Van Buren’s vote having risen from 93 on the 7th ballot to 104; Cass’s vote going down from 123 to 114; only 9 votes,although Alabama and Tennessee had desertes hivm I from Rhode Island, 2 from Pennsylvania, 2 from May land, and | from Ohio left him; yet Kentucky and Arkaj, was came in for him. This result produced the greatest possible excitem and confusion in the meeting ; all the New York, Ohio and Pennaylvania delegations wanted to get up and talk trash about defining their positions, and many of them did make noddies of themselv: But oe is the result of the first ballot to-day : Buren.

Missinsippi was next called, when Mr. Waker re- sponded, saying that New York in the sacrifice she had made in her vote to day, had not only saved herself, but the Union. He then gave the six ‘votes of the State to Governor Polk, of Tennessee. (Tremendous cheering.) Governor Saupexs, of North Carolina, rose on the call for that State, oud remarked that Governor Polk was a na- tive of the County of Mecklenberg, North Carolina, from which he was sent asa ite—that his father was a wgner of the first declaration of independence made in 1775, and being such, the had authorized him to present an undivided front of eleven votes for Gover- nor Polk, of Tennessee, (Cheers and applause.) A delegate from Vermont cried out, “Vermont wishes to be called again” (Roars of applause at this anxiety of the Green Mountain State to come into the Polk ranks Mr. Mevaky, of Ohio, here rose and said that things gan to look asif Polk could say to Clay, as Clay ence said to Polk on the floor of Congress, Go home where you belong.” (Enthusiastic cheseing: at this repartee ) The Rev. Mr. Jouxsox, a Methodist preacher from Mi- chigan, here got the floor, and said that things had but recently assumed a desponding aspect, indeed, but now, “How brightly breaks the morning.” ' (Applause). Mr chigan had been found in the minority, but she never would be again. The delegation from that State had sup- | ported General Cass because he was a democret clean through. (Great laughter.) He held in his pocket a letter; from General Cass, instructing him to withdraw his name from the Convention whenever he considered that any discord would be created by its con- tinuance, He therefore withdrew the name of General Cass from the Convention, and wished to correct the last vote of that State which was cast for him, by giving them to James K.Polk, of Tennessee, (Such roaring as followed this was rarely ever heard in any public assemblage ) inois was next’ called, when Mr. Kvox rose and said he was from a north western State, but he could not keep ceol on such an occasion as this. ‘That Stute was the gilt tion, and they should do as Virginia ir entire nine votes for Judge Polk been informed that there was an error in the vote that had been cast from Pennsylvania, Judge Brown replied that such was the case, and he was authorised to say that the Keystone State presented a solid block of 26 votes for Polk, of ‘Tennessee. (Cheers and applause ) A delegate from Maryland rose and suid, thot that State had just cast seven votes for Polk and one for Cass, but they desired to be called again and should answer by giving her full vote for Polk, of Tennessee. Mr. Bancrort, for Massachusetts, said that there was a mistake (laughter) about the vote of that State. He de sired to correct it by giving ina plumper for Polk, of Ten- nessee. (Roars and cheers, and three cheers for the his- torian of the United States.) ‘The delegates from Vermont, New Jersey and Maine then all corrected” (laughter) their votes, by giving them unanimously for Polk, of ‘Tennessee. A delegate from Maryland got the floor by getting on the top of a bench, and asked if South Caroling, the *Pal- metto State,” could be absent at such atime as this, (Great cheering) Cries for “Pickens,” “Pickens,” followed, when Dr. Paice, of Missouri, got the floor, and desired to/cast the vote of that State before South Carolina voted, as she had but recently entered the convention—(cries of no,” “oh, yes,” ‘go ou”)—and he wished to say that Missouri gave her vote fer Polk, and she would give him a poke, a full poke, and a vote altogether. (Cheers.) Mr Pickens got the floor, near the Piesident, and re- sponded to the call by saying, that he was not a regular delegate to this Convention, but he could pledge his State to ener Governor Polk, and pledge the Convention that he should receive the vote of South Carolina. (Great and enthusiastic cheering, waving of hats, handkerchiefs and umbrellas.) Mr. Evtmone, of South Carolina, formerly a member of Congress, was called, and concurred in the views of his collengue, although he could not yote as he was not 6n authorized delegate to the Convention. His speech was received with great applause. Delaware then gave her unanimous vote for Polk. Lient. Governor Dic: jon of New York got the ‘loor and said, that that lone blank vote from »ew York. like star of Texas, wished to be united to the union erefore was authorized to cast the whole 36 votes of New York for Polk of Tennessee. Governor Corquir of Georgia and cast nie votes from that State for Polk, and said one of his colleagues would vote for himself. Mr. Buack, from Georgia got the floor, and replied to the speech of Col. Young, made at the early part of the session, in which he denounced Calhoun as the Nero of the “mongrel administration.” He denied the assertion of Col. Young as true in any perticular ; defended the ad ministration of John Tyler from the charge of “mongrel- ism,” and concluding, cast his vote for James K. Polk of Tennessee Governor Bricnt of Indiana,then cast the 12 votes from that State for Polk. Mr. Timnarrs rose, and asked if all mistakes and errors ted, as the last State was akout to vote, and no mistake in old Kentucky”—(Great laugh. ter and cheers.) Miuee of Ohio then announced the unanimous yote of that State tor Gov. Polk, and concluding, Mr, Timwarts gave the 12 votes of Kentucky for Polk of Tennessee. The Preswent; then announced that the tallies of the taries agreed (laughter) and James K Polk, of Ten e, had received 266 votes for President, being’ the unanimous vote of the Convention; and he was therefore announced as the candidate of the democratic party for 1344, Nime cheers were then given for the nomination, one cheer for Texas, one for Van Buren, three for Cass, and three more tor all the candidates who had been before the Convention. The result of the nomination was here announced as having been sent to Washington, and an answer received in three minutes, stating the gratification they received at the nomination of Polk, aud tendering them three cheers for his nomination, which were given by the con- vention. Tennessee then returned thanks for the nomination, and the Convention then adjourned till 4 o’clock in the afternoon. c. Bavtimone, Thursday, May 30, 7 o'clock. I told you that as soon as the Convention met yesterday at 4P.M. Mr. Wacken, of Miss., rose and said it became their duty to nominate a Vice President, and he knew none 80 worthy for that office as Si.as Waricut, of New York. New York had made a great sacrifice for the party by withdrawing Van Buren, and he then eulogised Mr. Wright in the highest manner. He hoped Silas Wright would be carried by acclamation. Sevenat Voices.—It can’t bedone. Mr. Nurrat, ot Ky. said he would withdraw Col. John- son and goall Wright (Laughter) He'd rather have a man that had smelt gunpowder ; that had been in any kind of a fight ; in a fist fight ; but still 'd go hing to put down this ringed, stringed, striped and speckled whig- gery. (Laughter.) Burren, of N. Y —Silas Wright, sir, is aGreen Moun- tain Boy and a good rifle shot. Jeers.) Ni —Then he’s the right Kind of boy for us If he’s a good shot he can carry Kentucky, for ‘an shoot no where but at their own miserable (Laughter ) Mr. INersoct, of Conn.,said he was sorry to give up Johnson, but he went Wright for the sake oC hareony. Mr. Dromaoois® rose and seconded most cordially, in be half of Virginia, the name of Silas Wright ; a State that- has never given a vote to a federal whig for President. In all family matters a small jarring and a few quarrels only made the members of it love each other better after the storm was over. (Roars of laughter.) So now he hoped they would hereafter leave off fighting onejanother, ai turn to and give the whigs a sound thrashing. (Cheers ) ‘The voting then took place as I told you yesterday and resulted For Silas Wright, Woodbury oe ony aah Mr. Fi of New York returned tnanks for Mr. Wright, and added that he ha! lately seen him, and his last words were, that hegwould not allow his name to be used under any circumstances; still he had no doubt that Mr. Wrignt would serve. But the funniest part of the story is this. Mr. Cave Johnson rose and said that Mr. Rives of the “ Globe” was in the room-and pledged that old and faithful organ to support the nominees and to give the whigs a Wright Polk—or to poke ’em right. With regard to the recent attacks that had appeared in the “ Globe” against the Cal- houn men, the Cass men, and so forth, they would make ample atonement for the same, and make everything all Wright for the future. A resolution in favor of the one-term principle was re- ferved. f ion was carried to draft an address to the people of the United States,embedying the views of the party and to publish it in German A committee of five wes appointed to inform Messrs. Wright and Polk of their nominations. Also a committee of 26 to prepare a set of resolutio: Mr. M’Nourr (clerk of House of Representatives) said, we have committed a great fraud sir, in these nomina tions.—(Great sensation and excitement and cries of “ex plain.”) There is 60 much music in the names of Polk and Wright,that they will render worthless the hundreds of thousands of whig song books thatghave been sent out against Van Buren and Johson —(Cheers.) Mr. Dicxinson of New York---I suggest, fort ke made to collect fands of the United remunerate them for their loss — (Laugh Votes of thanks were then passed to the of the meeting, &c. &c. Mr. Biotack said he had just come from Washington, three cheers had been given in the Capitol for the nomina tion, and all felt confidence in the success of Polk He could outrun everything but the lightning on the wires of Professor Morte. And although Henry Clay was a good hand at brag, he was not up to poker— (Groat cheer: ing and Ianghter.) he Convention then adjourned in high glee, A large meeting was held in Monument Square last night, and good speeches were made by Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Henley of Indiana, Major Davezac, and others. 8 o'cLocn-—After the receipt of Mr. Wright's declina tion last night, a Committee were sent down to Washing- ton to see him, to induce him to accept the nomination ‘The cars are not yet in from Washington this morning, and his final decision has not yet reached ua.

Tn the early part of the day, the rain began to de- scendin torrents, and as Gen, Jackson would say, “like the dew of Heaven fell alike upon the poor and the rich,” giving with an impartial hand both to the Jewand the Gentile—to the whig and to the democrat, a little rain and a little sunshine, for by mid-day the sun made its appearance with its well-known light and heat. Long before 12 o’clock operations commenced throughout the city. Lanes, avenues, highways and by-ways were crowded with citizens and strangers. The Van Buren dele- gation convened at Odd Fellows’ Hall—the Tyler- ites at Calvert Hall, the former with closed doors, so that we could not get a peep at them ; the latter with such a rush and freedom of all sorts, sizes and conditions, as beggars description. The former because they could not get a voice n inie; and the latter, like Massaniello, got intoxicated with joy, or something else, to see what a dust they had kicked up for ‘Honest John and Tyler buttons”—‘ Three cheers for John Tyler and that banner’— Tyler and Texas for- ever!”—* That’s our motto”—and the steam got up some time before the meeting was called to or der. At length about 12 o'clock, after a great ado ef sputtering, funning, and smoking, the meeting was organized by calling to the chair Judge White, of Connecticut, rted by the usual number of Vice Presiden: Secretaries. ‘*Come to order, gentlemen—the meeting will please come to order.” When the meeting got fixed, the President read something which we supposed to be very good, as all cheered with a hearty good will; and he had scarcely touched his seat, when up popped at least twenty heads, white, red, yellow, and black—al! had pane tilae to say—all were overflowing with enthusiasm and long speeches—all didn’t want no- thing, were true patriots, had fought and bled and died in the cause, and would do it again. ‘Oh, gentlemen, 1 beg of you to be a little quiet —one at aj time—one at a time, gentle men—Smith! Smith! Smith!” and again up popped a dozen. My name is Smith—so ir —8so is mine—so is mine—and mine. We want Smith, of Ohio—not John Smith—and Smith, of Ohio, did come “‘like a cataract”—‘“‘like a thun- der-bolt”—‘“like Niagara”—no coon for him—no fox for him—he went for Texas and the peoples’ choice—for honest John, who, we must say, lost none of the laurels placed in the keeping of Smith, whose name is too well-known to the public to re- quire mention at our hands—his arms swung like pump-handles—his head bobbed about like a Chi- nese mandarin—his coat tails stood at right-angles with his unmentionables, and his hair was flying about, first on one side, then on the other, and seemed trying to dance a jig;upon his odd looking, queer shaped cranium. He was interrupted wit question—Tasistro—move the question—down in front—go 1t—hats off—I move—that man is no de- legate, and has no rae here—What do you mean, sir ?—Show your credentials. This is my creden- tials Snes cane at his opponent) for such men as you—Mr. President, I call upon you to—I wish you would’nt spit in my hat again—I call upon you to—Oh, shut up—I would offer, gentlemen, the following :— It ay ra the Tyler grip has seized you all, Whith Dr. Clay’ cant cure next fall. Ha, ha, ha !—nonsense—gag--humbug—oh dear! —ha, ha, ha! gentlemen, | insist upon your coming to order, and going into nomination. ‘The dignity of the chair must be sustained. Bless my heart! we forgot to say the meeting was opened with a prayer by theyRev. Mr. Tyson, or Tyler,(perhaps a cousin ef Bob’s), who, having the floor, followed up his prayer wi hagood Tyler speech. We were listening attentively to his prayer without knowing he had got through, when he sung out, “ Hurrah for Tyler!—hurrah for honest John! ‘The gentle- man jis out of order—no, he has the floor—hasn’t he got through with his prayer yet—order, gentle men, order—didn’t like such proceedings—hope the speaker wouldn’t be interrupted—think it un- courteous, and calculated to bring discredit upon the cause, &c. &c. After him came Smith and Derry, and Eddy and Firk, of Virgi- nia, and many others, great and small, who who did speak, or would have spoken, had time and patience permitted. Some few were for making overtures to the Van Buren Convention t centre upon a third candidate, and thus create unity in the party. But the majority were to: honest John, neck or nothing, sink or swim, sur vive or perish. So John Tyler_is nominated for Presidency by the Tyler party. Four o’clock in the afternoon was the hour to which the Van Bures Convention had adjourned their meeting, when they again assembled. Nothing had been done, and nothing was likely to be done. Several oj the States were strongly and positively opposed to the nomination of M. Van Buren—Virginia anc Pennsylvania would not listen to the mention 0} his name as their candidate. They would make no compromise. So the meeting was compelled to again adjourn without the prospect ot their settling upon who should be the nominee—so mucl for the firat day’s work—now for the first night The feelings on both sides were stronger than etther party had anticipated. Tyler and Van Buren was the general cry, as one candidate was preferred to the other. At about 8 o’clock com menced one of the most amusing farces ever enacted upon the political stage of this country. Scene Barnum’s stoop and the Court House, with the Battle Monument between them—moon in the dis tance—people in the foreground. ‘* Hurra for Mar- tin Van Buren” opened the meeting upon the Court House stoop. Hurrafor John Tyler, ‘“ with three times three,” hurled back defiance to “ that little red fox of the Empire State.” Hurra! hurra! At it they went like bull dogs—Smith for Tyler, and Butler for Van Buren. Smith haviug the strongest lungs, most gas, best cause, and hearty backers, drew off the Van Burenites, who flocked to Smith. where they could hear the most humbug, and let poor Butler spouting away to the Battle Monum Chen came the tug of war, when the Van Burenites and Tylerites got wellhuddled together. Hurrafor Tyler. Hurra ————.._ Three cheers for Martin Van Buren. Three cheers for honest John bah—put out that Tyler man—shut up your hog- hole—hustle him out—Hurra for Tyler and Texas. At last Tasistro (Tyler,) succeeded in getting the rostrum, when the crowd sung out, “Give us your name, who are you, who do you go fort) Gentle- men, 1 go for the man who is the exponent of true republican democracy. Who is that man? Tell us who you think that man is? (Bah! you can’) gammon us in that way—down with him, he is # ‘Tyler man!) Gentlemen, I am no Tyler man (What are you then?) lam noman. (Ha, ha, ha! that’s good—go on—are you a woman? Go on—go on—we'll hear you, be you man or sa No, gentlemen, lam in favor of no man—no faction. I go for the voice of the people. Let them deter- mine who isthe people’s candidate, Let the voice of the whole Convention be heard. Let the New York Van Buren clique of office seekers, who came here to dictate to the other States, let them come out openly, as the majority of the other States have done, {and allow the people to under- stand their proceedings. Virginia and Pennsyl- vania have declared their opposition to Van Buren, dnd we only ask to have the people to understand who the democratic candidate is. (That will do— enough of that—bah, boo—huzza for Van Buren! Voice in the crowd, “take your hand out of my pockev’—go ahead, go ahead -atintis true—you lie —huzza, cock a doodle—who pays for that—Mike Walsh—Joe Smith—Hurra for Clay—Three cheers for Tom Benton—Three more for Joe Smith— Hurra for your wire pullers—Where’s Clover—Pull that speaker down—shut up, we won’t hear you— go on—sit down—buzz-z-z”, and such a thundering racket was never before heard.) The president atter several efforts, stepped forward and introduced to the immense throng Major Davezac, of New York, a compatriot of *‘ your” Lafayette, (huzza) an aid of * your” Jackson, (huzza) and a recipient of your favors. (Thav’s noble. Hurra—Three cheers for the Major, he is the man for us.)— “ Gentlemen, I tank you for your kind reception of me. 1 tank you tor responding to de name of dat great man Martin Van Buren—he is a true patriot and a good man.

Nothing done. They wish to learn who is to be the Van Buren candidate, before they make their nomination. ‘ Wednesday morning, 7 o’clock.—It is useless to wait for the nomination of the Van Buren conven- tion, Nothing as yet has been done. Van Buren’s for his nomination, appara: there fay Toning ground, and the probehity is, that those pledge to go for Van Buren, will find it necessary to con- sult their respective States in relation to having the obligation removed, or retura to their homes with- out making a nomination. ARIEL. The Great Mass Meeting of the Democratic Republican Electors of the City and Coun- ty of New York—that was to have been. This great affair, whicn has been blazoned forth throughout the length and breadth of the county, by the means of large placards, the newspaper press, ward meetings, &c. &c., has ended in every way worthy the nomination that has taken place at Bal- timore. The only part of the “order of arrange- ments” that took place was the hoisting of the na- tional flag at the top of Tammany Hall, but as to the mustering, they did not, as they were directed, “Come as the winds come, when forests are rended, Nor as the waves come, when navies are stranded.” Nor any thing else. A little before three e’clock. the firing of a piece of artillery attracted some for- ty or fifty boys, and about as many full grown idlers, to the Park, where might be seen an indi- vidual close to the gun, in a great state of exeite- ment, having in his hand a dirty piece of white rag of about 18 inches square, attached toa stick, on which was painted the words, ‘‘Polk and Wnght.”” Several inquiries were made as to the meaning of this affair, and an Irishman observed that he was sure they were only poling their fun at the peo- ple by such a nomination, and that it was not (w)right. Another observed that itmight be all (w)right just now, but that the democrats would find it all wrong next November. After some 20 guns had been fired, instead of 100, as had been announced, the fellow with the grand flag moun- ted the gun, and called for three cheers for Polk and Wright, which was respondedto by about 20 boys. The gua and flag were then marched off the ground, the former at the hinderpart of a cart, and the other inthe hands of the standard bearer, ac- companied by four or five others, and followed by some twenty or thirty boys. They marched into Tammany Hall, but did not remain there long, when they adjourned to Tammany Hall, Junicr, where a very spiri‘ed discussion was carried on relative to the nomination, but there being some ten or a dozen speakers at a time, it was impossi- ble to report the speeches delivered at this impor- tant meeting, and so ended this grand democratic demonstration, Latest From Cusa —The Florence has arrived from Matanzas, with advices to the 22d inst. There had been a number ef people, white and black, arrested, two days before the Florence sailed, on suspicion of being concerned in the abor- live insurrection.

Accipent To Packer Suir Vinetian.—This fine packet which has been several days due at this port, has met with an accident on the Adantic which came near stripping her. It is reported by Capt. Thayer of the Ilzaide at Boston from Calcutta, that he spoke on the 27th inst. at 5 o’clock in the morning the packet ship Virginian, Allen, from Liverpool for New York, and brig Levant, Brown, of and from Bath for Guadaloupe. The two had come in contact one hour previously, in a thick fog; the Virginian had everything gone forward, except her foremast, the bowsprit being gone close to knight-heads, and the mainmast fished. The Levant was waterlogged, and the captain was about abandoning her; she be- ing a complete wreck, he and his crew preferred going to New York in the Virginian. They were in lat, 41 29, lon. 68 51, and‘wanted no assistance. The Virginian may now be momentarily looked for. frauian Orgra.—Stc.

One of the Pal- mer line of stages came up with No. 12 at Sth street, and attempted to pass it. Both stages commenced peotng, end continued without intermission until they arrived below Grand street, where Palmer's succeeded in getting ahead. During this race the speed of the horses must have been near ten miles per hour. Those of No. 12 repeatedly broke into a regular gallop. Directly below Grand the two stages were ubreast and other carriages were passing either way at the time. The drivers of the two omnibuses urged their horses recklessly forward, and No. 12 struck the carriage of Mrs. Coursen, in which were besides her- self, a nurse with a child, aad adriver.

The frequent injuries sustained by the public in conse. uence of the conduct of thosqgabmen, calls londly for the interposition of the authorities ; and this flagrant ont. rage will doubtless meet with a sifting ‘avestigetion.
