NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Wednesday, June 12, 1844, = — — Anorugr Demonstratron—Great RatiricaTion / Mass Meeting iy Muitary Hatt—Jo Smirn my | ington county, containing $9,704, principally in five | vue Fierp.—Another gr nd ratification mass! meeting was held last evening in favor ot one of the Western candidates for the Presidency, being | none other than the Mormons coming out for the great Jo Smith. This immense meeting numbered about 60 souls, besides little boys, and such cattle. | A full report is given in another column. We have now four candidates for the Presidency | in the field—all from the far west. They are Clay, | (whig) Polk, (loco foco) Birney, (black) and now | Jo Smith, (Mormon.) The enthusiasm and confi- | dence of the Mormons are tremendous. They say that inthis great race, they will beat Captain Tyler all to pieces. And indeed the Tyler men have yet to hold their great mass meeting pretty soon, if they expect to win the donkey purse. The contest will be severe between Jo and the Captain; but we rather think we will bet on the Mormon. ! | —__-— | Licentiousness of the Party Press. | We give to-day in another part of our paper a few | extracts from the journals of both parties, as illus- trations of the extreme licentiousness of the party press, and the savage bitterness, malignity and false- | hood with which they assail the candidates for the | chief magistracy of this nation. This exposure is painful in the extreme, but it may not be without a salutary effect over partizanship itself. | Look, for instance, atthe whig journals. Mr. Polk is represented by them as the meanest and Dasest of men—he is called a duellist, a murderer— everything that is vile and detestable. His private character isthe grand object of attack, just as if that had anything to do with his publie opinions. Opposition to him on the ground of his opinions on the tariff—on the Texas question—or any of the other important subjects of political discussion, would be proper and justifiable and legitimate, | But the whig press, instead of adopting this course, have been guilty, almost without exception, of the most atrocious conduct. Discarding argument and reason, they have taxed their ingenuity and malig- nity in the fabrication of the vilest slanders, and daily pour forth column upon column of the most filthy personal abuse. Nor are the locofoco journals a whit less cul- pable. In one breath they sneer at Mr. Freling- huysen because he is a religious man, and a friend of temperance—and revile Mr. Clay in the coarsest terms because he is not, they say, a religious man, and a friend of temperance! Indeed, the language applied by the democratic prints to Mr. Clay, is disgusung in the extreme. They represent him as a murderer, as a gambler, as a frequenter of taverns, as a horseracer—in fact, as a low, degra- ded ruffian. And thus the contest will be carried on for the next three or four months. The Ameri- can party newspaper press will labor day after day, with, as the Chinese happily say, ‘laborious vile- ness,” to convince the world, that all the principal public men ia the United States are destitute of moral character, and are perfect lepers, who should be hissed and hooted out of society. Is such con- dact not really humiliating to every true patriot? And all this is only according to the “use and | wont” of party spirit. Such is the invariable course pursued by the party presses in all political con- tests, from that for the Presidency down to the election of ward officers, What a strange opinion must the conductors of these prints entertain of the American people, when they suppose that such torrents of personal abuse, of the most beastly and infamous character, can operate upon their independent judgment! And the jour- nals which are most conspicuous in this filthy and degraded work, are the very prints which de- claim most vociferous about decency and respect- ability, and the infamy of using persocalities in the newspapers! These journals which are thus repre- senting the leading men of this country asa pack of abandoned ruffians, murderers, gamblers, and patrons of all sorts of immorality and vice, are the very journals which talk so loudly about the iniqui- ty of ‘attacks on private character”—*‘ personal abuse” —* slander” —** calumny,” and so on! We cannot imagine any thing more degrading— more humiliating—more demoralizing than the conduct of the party newspapers of both sides. These political contests ought always to be con- ducted with decency and decorum. The private character of public men should ever be held sa- cred. This universal system of slander end detrac- tion is most disgraceful to the country. Itdegrades us as a people in the eyes of the nations. Nothing can be more calculated than this to lessen us in the estimation of all enlightened and intelligent minds, unless it be the spectacle of such men as Bishop Hughes—politico-religious hypocrites, who come forth and splutter their vulgar abuse on all who pre- sume to tell the truth and chastise their gross mis- conduct. Wat Street DeveLormMents IN THE Court oF Sessions —The trial of Schermerhorn, for embez- zling the funds of the Ocean Insurance Cempany, begun yesterday inthe Court of Sessions. Only | three witnesses were examined, but their evidence | gives us a curious inkling of the way monied cor- | porations are mismanaged in Wall street. Rxcovery or $10,000 Sro.en Money in A wo- MAN’S BUSTLE.—ArnesT or THE MaN WITH THE CARPET Baa.—A few days since we announced the | theft of a carpet bag from the City Hotel, at Al- | bany, belonging to Wm. McKie, of Salem, Wash- | and ten dollarnotes of the Farmers’ and Mechanics? | and Exchange Banks of Hartford, Connecticut.— The bag with its contents was taken from the bar of the City Hotel in Albany,on the morning of Fri-| day last, while Mr. McKie was at breakfast, and | the owner oflered a reward of $2000 yesterday, through the public press, fer the detection of the | thief and the recovery of the money. It is with pleasure therefore, that we state, that the thief has been arrested, and nearly all the money recovered, through the agtivity, vigilance, and energy of two gentlemen of this city, who have been recently removed from the station ef police officers by our newly elected Mayor. It appears that a few days since another robbery | of $600, in fifty dollar notes of the Commercial | Bank of Albany and Catskill, $111 of the Bank of | St. Clair, Michigan, and $80 in serip, was stolen, for the recovery of which a liberal reward was also offered. The inducements thus held out prompted those officers, recently removed, possessing energy and industry,to keep a sharp lock out, and a $50 note of the Commercial Bank of Albany, letter A, No. 1912, having been changed by a woman at Hough's broker’s office underthe American Museum,ex-offi- cer Peter B. Walker suspected that all was not right, and resolved to hunt up the parties concern- ed, if possible. He commenced operations on Monday morning, and traced the woman to the corner of Murray and Washington streets, where she purchased a bottle of wine, and then tracked herto the hotel next to the corner, where it ap- peared she had taken lodgings. Fearing that his presence would excite saspicion, he called in the assistance of George Williams to watch the house, and make inquiry as to the inmates, as he suspected it was _a place of resort for the well known Jack Che and his female partner. Becoming satisfied, however, that the woman was not the partuer of Cherry, and ascer- taining that an elderly man was her associate, after Great Mass Wootlag of fas Warn at Writ Trattay Opzra—Siavox Patmo’s.

The last benefit, that of | W#!7!~c, Eaq., as District Attorney, Mr. Partenson, re Polk, and the Tyler rag-tag-and-bobtall annihilated, We have had a considerable share of excite- ment during the past six weeks in relation to the Presidential contest. The Whigs, the Democrats, the Tylerites, have all had their turn on the arena. We have “had the Annual Conventions of Fourier- ites, Methodists, Episcopalians, Bible Societies, Tract Societies, {Millerites, and a Meeting of ‘* Darkies” in Leonard street—all have come out in due course, but the greatest event of the season took place last evening at ‘‘ Military Hall,” Bowe- ry, which throws all the Meetings and Conventions of the last month far into shade; and bids fa completely to eclipse even the famous “ Tyler din- ner.” At8o’clock, pursuant to requisition, a meeting of the Mormonites of New York took place at the above hall, for the purpose of responding tothe “Nauvoo” nomina- tion of their grand Prophet, Joe Smith. Some twenty- seven men and seven Mormonesses were assem- bled at the hour appointed The ladies had all passed the Rubicon, but seemed to take a lively interest in the procestings. The Apostles looked grave as mustard pots, ut resolute in their purpose of carrying their candidate through. There were placed in the centre of the room one three legged table, with the four chairs, one pulpit, and six gas lights. A brother Mormon stood conspicuous in the front seat, and wore along beard, being an attested copy of that of the Prophet's. He was dressed in a mili- tary frock cont, and seemed the presiding spirit of the meeting. Athalf past $ o’clock, another Mormoness ar- rived, with a grown girl about six years of age, and took her place near our repo! On seeing him taking his stenographic notes, she remarked that she knew it the “sacred writing,” and asked him ‘where be had le idl Our reporter replied he had taken instructions from the groat Prophet at Nauvoo; to which she replied “she new it trom the ‘sacred characters’ in which he had been writing,” and was on the point of giving him a six terly embrace, from which he ungallantly made his pe. A number of copies of the “Prornxr,” pub- ished by the Woard of trol of the Society for the Diffusion of Truth, every Saturday morning at No. 7 Spruce street, New York, at one dollar per annum —E, J Bevin, printer,” were distributed onthe table. The arti- cles in it discuss forcibly the Prophet's pretensions to the Presidential chair, and continues :~ “ Would to God that our citizens, one and all, would take the same stand, and we would then select officers for the good of t+e country. and not forthe eapecinl advan: ment of a facti Would we could invoke the spirit t! = watching the house until dark, he left, determined to renew his search yesterday morning. After re- connoitering the premises yesterday morning, he thought that there might be something more than $600 under the bushel, and, consequently, his eyes were skinned, and his ears open with anxiety in watching the movements of the parties. In the afternoon, about half-past four o’- clock, while he was passing down West street, he met ex-officer Egbert G. Sweet, and asked him to accompany him to the Boston boat, which Sweet declined, owing to some previous engagement. Walker left and passed down towards the Boston boat, while Sweet remained standing at the corner of Courtlandt and West streets. In a few minutes afterwards, a four-wheel cab, driven by a man named Henry ©. Allen, came to the front of the hotel, containing a woman, several trunks, and other buggage. She alighted, went into the hotel, returned with a carpet bag to the coach, and or- dered the driver to take her to the Boston boat Her appearance, and the quantity of baggage, ex- cited the suspicions of ex-officer Sweet,who called toa friend who had a horse and wagon near by, to bring him up and go in pursuit of the carriage, to see where it went. On lee down West street, and overtaking the coach, a cab passed up with an elderly man it, who told the woman that the Boston boat had lett, but directed her to the Battery Hotel, where he said he would meet her. Sweet passed on ahead of the woman, and going down he met ex-oflicer Walker, but ex- changed no words, nor were either at that time acquainted with the intentions of each other. On reaching the wharf, the woman accosted Sweet and asked if the Boston boat had left. On being informed that it had, and that it was after five o’clock, she ordered the coachman to drive to the Battery Hotel. As Sweet passed up the street in the wagon he met Walker, who told him to arrest the woman, ashe suspected something was wrong with her. Sweet, not being an officer, hesitated, but finally stepped across to the driver of the car- riage and told him as well as the woman, that they must consider themselves under an arrest, and ordered him not to move from the door or allow the baggage to be taken from the cab. The woman appeared to evince some alarm and desired to leave the coach, but the driver told her she could not take the baggage. She then threatened to call another Saad told her she had better remain. The ex-officers then entered the coach, and were about going to the police. when one of them asked her where the “old man’ was. She said she hid no man, when the driver denied this, and told the ex-officers she had, as he had been with her on Monday and in the morn- ing, and he had just met him going up the street in a cab The ex-officers then step- ped into the hotel to avoid suspicion, when the woman opened one of the small trunks that was inside the cab, took something out, jumped from the vehicle, and was about to es- cape, when ex-officer Sweet arrested her, took her into the hotel, and_finally replaced her in the cab. In an instant after, ‘‘the old man” came down the street, and the driver gave the signal, when he wasarrested by the ex-officers. The man and woman. were then searched, when an im- mense rollef bank notes was found on her per- son, nicely enclosed ina ‘ bustle” that she had used to adorn her person, and which it is supposed she had taken fromthe trunk immediately before she had attempted to escape from the coach. The two were then taken to the police office,where the money was counted and found to be $9,199 in notes of fives and tens of the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ and Exchange Bank of Hartford, Connecticut, thus answering to the description of money lost by Mr. McKie, and within $505 of thatamount. The sus- pected rogue gave the name of John Daly. He is about 50 years of age—hair thin and nearly white, which was covered with ashort cut brown wig and a ret of false whiskers was found in his possession. which he had used probably to disguise himself. He appears to be an Eoglishmaa by birth, and from every appearance is a cunning, shrewd rogue. The | By the development thus far, it seems that the | business of these companies is entrusted to the | subordinate clerks or other officers, and the re- sponsible directors entirely neglect their duties, | until some great defalcation or embezzlement be | disclosed. This fact, no doubt, discloses the real | sectct that has been the cause of the many Wall | street robberies and failures—neglect in the direc- | tors and other responsible officers. {n such a state of moral delinquency, what bank or insurance company can create confidence in these latter days of sin, shame and sorrow ? Tar Most Dangerous Man—Waicn Is ne? The Virginia Locofocos state in one of their ad- dresses that “‘ Henry Clay is the most dangerous | man in the country.” Bishop +John Hughes of New York, in one of his addresses, states that “James Gordon Bennett is the most dangerous man in the country.” Can any body tell which is right ? A reward will be given for an accurate solution, but not a thousand dollars. “ Buanks, Paren, ann Twing.”—Jsaac Hill, the fast friend heretofore of Captain Tyler in New England, as long as the “blanks, &c.” held out, has come out for Polk and Dallas. It is also said that Postmaster Graham will soon follow. “ Call you this backing your friends?” Panic 1x Watt Strest.—A considerable bit of apanic took place in Wall street yesterday—and a great fall in “fancies,” without any visible cause. These ups and downs in Wall street are like the ups and downs of the faro table. They d not affect the great current of trade. Diary Sragets.—What with the rain one day and the wind the other, in the present state of the | streets, we are in a very fair way of being torment- | ed before our time in New York during the pre- | sent summer. Is it not time for the new corpora- tion to think of doing their duty to the public? Have they not already sufficiently gorged them- selves on the “spoils?” Have they not had their heads long enough in the flesh-pots? Can’t they taice a little breathing time and think of the streets —the disgrace of New York ? 2 : | Sscovn-Hanp Crories.—It seems that old Noah is not the only one who attempts to monopolize the old clo’ trade in this city. We perceive by the advertising columns of our paper that one of the Anglo-Saxon race, perchance from the mountains of the north, one Levinstyn by name, advertises to purchase all sorts of old clothes and offers to give the highest prices. This will be # great blow to! Noah's fature prosperity. Consort or Orpennunc.—E. Pavenstedt has been appointed Consul of Oldenburg for this city. woman 1s young and very good looking, and says her name is Elizabeth Hanson. She 18 supposed to be agirlof the pave that this old rogue has pick- ed up as a partner since his run of luck, in order to | aid him in the disposition of the money which could easily have been changed if they had escaped to the east. He toek the matter quite easy and com- fortable, but the girl appeared much distressed. | when they were committed to prison for the night. | A carpet bag was found in their possession, but whether it is the one stolen or not,we do not know. The driver informed us that he conveyed this maa and woman, on Monday afternoon, from the foot of Murray street to the Battery—from thence the man went with the cab to the Pittsburgh pas- sage office, opposite the Philadelphia steamboat landing in West street—thence to 40 old slip,where he went around into South street, and thea retarn- ed to Murray street and West,where he discharged the driver. It will be seen by this recital of the incidents connected with this intevesting affair, that officers , Walker and Sweet are alone the authors of the ar- | rest, and although the others who are named in the transaction ignorantly assisted in the matter, yet the bulk of the reward should fall to them as a mater of justice and right. Mr. MeKie, the gen- tleman who lost the money, is wealthy, an doubt will see that all concerned are properly re- warded for their trouble It is also. very probable that the $600 stolen last week in fifty dollar notes of the Commercial Bank f Albany, may have been siolen by this very rogue. A day or two will determine, Tue Porice.—Our city is at present overrun with rowdiesand abandoned women. Broadway is so infested in the evenings with drunken loafers and shameless females that no person can walk along it without being shocked and insulted at every cor- ner. Assoon asthe stores, which close at eight o’clock, are shut up, gangs of rowdies cluster about the doors, smoking, shouting, and blaspheming. | We allude particularly to the blocks from Warren street up to Canal, In front of several taverns too in the same neighborhood, which are a dis- | grace to Broadway, the scene every night resem- | blesthe Five Points. On one side of the street a | crowd of foreign vagabonds and on the other of | native rowdies congregate, and frem dusk till mid- night they obstruct the thoroughfare, making beast- ly remarks on the ladies asthey pass, and shocking every ear by their ribaldry and blasphemy. Now, do the new corporation indeed forget— | can they possibly have forgotten, that it was to rid the city of such nuisances that they were elected? It would indeed seem that they have forgotten this. Put they may depend upon it that the public will ot permit them to let the remembrance of their duty thus eseape them. Pray, gentlemen, do make some eflort to give us a police. ‘Tae New District Arronney, Matthew C. Pa, erson, Eeq., will commence his duties on Thurs- ay, and we are happy to add that he has re-enga- ged the services of Jonas B. Phillips, Esq, as an assistant in the duties of his office animated those who bled for the privilege which our citi- zens as a body seem aot to appreciate, and let it rest on their deacendants—we would then have no occasion to re- cord the delinquency of men high in authority, as it is very often our painful duty now—but men wonld be se- lected with a view to the hest interests of the country.” ‘At 9 o'clock a small accession to the numbers present locaced themselves on the vacant seats, when Groner T. Leacn was nominated chairman pro tem., and W. H. Mrers was appointed secretary. Ganxer D. Newsu. was nominated president pro tem., upon which, ‘The Rev. Banvry Pratt, one of the twelve apostles of Nauvoo,came forward and said, that the meeting was con. vened for political purposes, and such a purpose as would be acceptable to God. It was high time that the people of the Union and land awoke from their lethargy—as the people had been living in slavery for the last ten years. ‘They had seen negroes hung without judge or jury— white men hung without trial—Catholic churches sac! and burned down—convents demolished, and 15,00 latter day saints driven from their homes an murdered—and this done under the highest authority in the land at Missouri—the Governor of Missouri was a murderer—so was the Legislature—so was their military, who plunder- ed them of $240,000 worth of horses, cattle, and property. Van Buren refused to aid them, and so did the country— and all had failed ; in this state of things they shonld look tothemselves, The halls of Congress were dripping with blood, and the whole national legislature were a pack of murderers, for they connived at the foul murdera commit- ted at Missouri, and gave no redreks—they had all heen guilty of shedding innocent blood. The constitution guaranteed the free exercise of religion ; but it was a mockery, as the State of Missouri was backed up by a pack of robbers—-murder, treason, rebellion, robbery, and plunder, could be laid at’ their door. He charged these upon them,and upon the editors of the press'who also con- nived at the murders. Harry Clay was also a mur. derer, as well as Van Buren, for he too, in 1839 denied them any assistance. Joe Smith had even addressed a letter to Harry Clay. and his reply was that he would not pledge himself, “The Constitution wax trampled under foot and they were governed worse than in the days of Nero, by the political jugglers of the coun: try. He would sooner be a Quaker, and not vote at all, than vote for such men aa Clay or Van Buren He pro posed then that Generac Joe Smrtn be the candidate for the next presidency — (Tremendous cheers, mingled with hisses and cries of “shut up”) He would vote for any candidate that iv in favor of the free exercise of religious principles. He would even go in for perfect liberty to the man that would berry a toad.—(Loud, vociferous, tremendous applause, and cheers) He prophesied that Washington wopld soon be a place of security for the cormorant, the hittern, the owl and the bat—that it wonld soon be dripping with blood, and that the words, “ Mene mene, teke lupharsin” would be written on the rnin. The mummery of the 4th July in America was a mene farce— a name, as liberty was dead, and he felt proud that there was left a moniment at Borton—to tell the passing stranger that liberty once dwelt in the land; bnt ite name had only survived-the grave stone was upon it, as it was dead. (Loud, vociferous and tremen- dons applause.) Harry Clay was in favor of alavery, and was an enemy to the free exercise of religious prin. ciples. He was tooth and nail against any species of reli gious oppression, whether against the Catholic, the Mor- mon, the Heathen, or the Jew, and to remedy these griev ances, he would vote for and nominate Jor Smiti, the “Mormon Prophet,” as a candidate for the next Presi- dency. (Lond and prolonged cheers.) The following delegation were then nominated to tee sent the twelve Apostles, and meet at Utica for further action, on the 234 August next :— Dr. Doremus, E. J. Bevens, John Leech, Leeler Lane, Nathaniel B. James, —— Wikoff, George T. Leech, W. H. Miles, Theodore Curtis, —— Watkins, John Swakum, and Samuel Leaver... Rev. Orson Pratt, another Apostle, then came forward and addressed the meeting, detailing the course of action pursued by Congress towards the Mormonites in relation to their application for redress, on the subject of what he termed the Missouri Murders. A Mr. J.B. Meyweut then rose and spoke at some length ‘on the claims of his Excellency General Smith to the Presidency. After Mr. Meynell concluded, a motion was made to ad- journ, but the Chairman begged before the motion was putto say a few words on the subject of the meeting Just as he commenced, however, some evil disposed loafer n to play tricks on the gas pipe leading to the room, and the meeting broke up in a very unceremonious man- ner, obliging the worthy chairman to postpone his speech till a more favorable opportunity And thus terminated the first great mass meeting for the elevation of the great Prophet of the West to the Presidency. It is very evi- dent that the contest hetween the Mormons and the Tyler- ites will be a tough one, and it is hard to say who will gain the leather medal. | Important From Sovrm Amenica.—We have re- ceived by an arrival at New London, the annexed | important letter from a correspondent :— Port Famine, Srrarrs or MaGeuran, | March 18th, 1844. | By the barque Express, which arrived at this port | on the morning of yesterday from vour port, I had the pleasure of receiving one of your interesting | journals, the perusal of which gave me much joy ; and though I may perhaps be taking too great a | liberty in thus addressing you, you will no doubt excuse this liberty when you perceive the object of | my letter is to communicate to you the tact that | the Chili Government has taken possession of these | Straits for the purpose of colonizing them. |, [have no doubt that if vou give publicity to this in your paper, the news will be speedily propagated, and we shall soon have the pleasure of seeing ves- sels of all nations making their passages from and to the Pacific Ocean. The colony at present con- sists of thirty-two men and thirteen women, in- eluding a chaplain. We have brought with us @ aan of cattle and poultry, and expect shortly urther reinforcements of troops and an additional supply of live stock, &. ; ‘Should this be in any way serviceable to you, I will from time to time, as opportunities offer, have the pleasure of remitting you further accounts of the progess of the infant colony. At present, time presses me, and I shall conclude. This is certainly a very important movement on the part of the Chilian government. Withacolony settled at Port Famine, which must of course rapidly increase, the Straits of Magellan may yet become navigable without the danger heretofore attending a passage through them. ‘This will con- siderably lessen the time now taken to go from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and will answer a most im- portant purpose till a canal is cut through the Isthmus of Panama. These Magellan straits are three hundred miles in length, and about half a league in width. Superior Court. Before Judge Vanderpoel Heydinger va.

Mr. Palmo comes forward on this occasion without the ridiculous mummery or machinery of complimentary committees, meeting at the Astor House, or any other hotel, passing resolutions, drinking healths, and making a great fuss and gieat fools of themselves, 1n order to produce a prodigious impression on the public mind, and extract as much as they can from the public pocket in order to fill a treasury emptied by gross mismanagement. The Signor comes forward on his own merits, modest and unassuming, and pretending to nothing but the establishment of an epera house, the permanent re- vival of an Italian opera in this city, ina style of respectability and excellence never before success- fully attempted here. It is true we have had fre- quent attempts to do this, but none succeeded till Signor Palmo came into the field. His merits are well known to the fashionable and enlightened public. Whilst other managers by their bad con- duct, or imbecility, or want of discretion, have been for the last few years gradually running the legitimate drama—the English Opera—and every other species of the higher order of amusements, into wretchedness and oblivion, Mr. Palmo has, in one season, established the incontrovertible fact that Italian Opera can exist in this city, season after season and year after year. If any one, therefore, deserves a liberal encouragement, and a splendid benefit, we think Mr. Palmo presents the best claims for those proofs of public favor. Look at the history of our two principal theatres, during the last few years—the Bowery and the Park. They have been characterized by nothing but a series of misfortunes produced by mismanage- ment—want of enterprise—bad judgment—and general imbecility. Indeed, the only theatres that have succeeded of late years, have been the Chat- ham, the Olympic, and Niblo’s, all of which have been conducted on the modern principle of econo- my, attention, enterprise, and energy, without trusting to antiquated reputation that exists no where but in imagination, or the flatteries of fool- ish friends. Mr Palmo has given ample evidence that he unders‘ands the spirit of the present time, although he does not make a claim upon the public to raise a fund for the purpose of going out to Eu rope to secure ‘attractive novelties.” He expects some requital for what he has already done, and if he even should go or send to Europe, he certainly wont come back with aflea in his ear, and without any attraction at all. Mr. Demrster’s BatLap Sorrees.—This gentle- man gave the first of these entertainments last even- ing at the New York Society Library, Broadway: the attendance was not very numerous, but highly respectable. The absent admirers of the sweet simple ballad have lost a treat by not being present, which, we fear, not even attendance at the two | here shown)—page 497 contain an entry 4th Jan., 1842, | 5 next soirées will compensate for. Many of the pieces were encored. The song of the “ Blind Boy” was most feelingly and sweetly sung, as was “ The Lament of the Irish Emigrant.” The Scottish bal- lad of, ‘* Mary o’ Castle Carey,” we feel assured, will become a great favorite among the fairer por- tion of the community. The new national song of of ‘The Death of Warren” was received with applause. There is little doubt but that on all pub- lie occasions and national festivals, this will be in especial requisition. The next entertainmenttakes place on Friday evening.
