THE NEW YORK HERALD. Vol. X,, No. 1h5—Whole Ne. 3735. ‘Washington, orepentece the} Herald.] ‘AsHINGTON, Monday night, uly 1, 1844." t Important Political Movements—The Bridat Party and Champagne— Washington after a Session of Congress. ‘ Jas. G. Bennett, Esq:— In the absence of your regular correspondent from the federal metropolis, { shall venture, though a little in arrear oftyour post haste despatch and fidelity, of giving you a comment or two upon matters and thingsat Washington. Coleridge, you know, who is considered at least equal in rank with Natty Willis and Professor Longfellow in the science of poetry, flatly declares that “All thoughts, all }, all delights— ‘Whatever stirs this mortal frame, , Are all but ministers to love ‘And feed the sacred flame.” From which predicates we draw the following deductions :— ‘ Ist That allthe “thoughts” of President Tyler for twelve months past, in regard of a re-election: Qod. That all his “passions” with refractory office-holders and office-seckers: Anes 8rd. That all his “delights” trom the anticipated immediate annexation of Te: : , 4th. And that “whatever has stirred his mortal frame” in prospect of the triumph of the Tyler marty, by luck or by legerdemain, have all been rhe ministers to his ‘sacred flame,” for the beau- tiful and accomplished lady with whomhe has con- summated so signally and triumphant-ly :— lat. A treaty of re-annexation. * 2od. A perpetual treaty of friendship, amity, and commerce. i : r P 8rd. The election for a second term to’ conjugal felicity. ‘ i BLAS example worthy of imitation by all old bachelors and widowers whatsoever. 5h. The acquisition of a prime minister indis- pensable to'the chief functionary of a republican eople. P ‘: Great and weighty achievements, which cannot fail to meet the approbation of the golden chop- pi ol his copper-colored majesty of the Celestial ‘mpire. On Saturday last, the Executive and bride were athome. At one o’clock, Martin Rannohan ac- cordingly took his station at the portal of the ‘“El- liptical Saloon,” and announced the. visitors as they were ushered in to tender their joy, their wishes,and their Seem raiaiens, The centre table ‘was ornamented as follows: lat. A rich eake in the centre, of fifty pounds of fruit, from the four auaeiese of the globe, includin; Texas, “inexplicably mixed up,” and coated wit! an incrustation of an inch of loaf sugar, beautifully ornamented with flowers, loves and_ doves, and encircled at the base with a wreath of roses of the two houses of York and Lancaster. 2dly. Madeira, champaign, sherry, and lemon- ade, interspersed with vases of flowers culled from the public gardens, and arranged under the perso- nal supervision of’ Jimm: Maher, a repaler and a dimocrat, yet Sbaoted to Daniel O’Connell, and in favor of John Tyler. i Sdly. Ou the outer circumference, a variety of cakes, oranges, &c. . Heads’ of departments, subs and expectants, members of the corps diplomatique, civil, naval aad military officers and subordinates, with a cha- ry leavening of the sovereign people, made up the composition of the throng of incomers and outgo- ers, from one to three o’clock, during which time the liquors (barring the lemonade) were exhaust- ed, the sweetmeats and confects annihilated, and the President and his lady overwhelmed by the ac cumulated suffrages of a thousand people. The President’s face was illuminated with triumph, gratitude, and gratification. The bride appeare: beautiful and refreshing to the eye as “ Meek Aurore, daughter of the dawn,” When first she unv in the light of the summer’s morning, the majestic proportions of St. Anthony’s nose. Mrs. ex-President Madison, in full oriental costume, turban a /a Stambool, was conspicuously the faverite among the ladies. The Secretary of State, on the other hand, deported himself with the chivalric gallantry of a true bred Carolinian.— ‘The author ot Ahasuerus, and the private secreta- ry were not forthcoming, having left, as we are in- formed, in the morning for the family homestead on James River, whither the whole are tending for the celebration of the second quarter of the honey moon. BAe A At sunset there was music in the President’s Park by the Marine Band. R The city is dull as a Quaker sermon. No news. The July and August elections are to decide the uestion of an Extra Session. If they should be Polkish, Congress, it is said, will be convened to divert the ‘Texas thunder to the epee inventor, who has no notion of being robbed of his patent. Mr. Calhoun is bent upon a Southern Confede- racy. He is using Mr. Tyler to that end, else why should the President’s overtures have succeeded with him, when they were rejected by Wright, Buchanan, Woodbury, Allen and others. ‘The idea of a Southern Confederacy with Mr. Calhoun is no empty abstraction. It isa full grown vam- pyre, and ready at the first dark hour to come out into the open air, with its harsh infernal hissing of “ dissolution—dissolution.” Let it be mentioned t th> vredit of Re-mer, of N.C., and Hammett, of Miss, of the House of Representatives, that tucy wc vi ute yory few ex ceptions who retused pay for absenteeism, deduct- ing a material item from their aggregate per diem allowance, and declining its aceeptance. More anon, if to your liking. Bos. Buffalo. [Correspondence of the Herald.] Burrato, July 1, 1844. The Grain Trade and false reports of Speculators— Probable price of Flour. Since our worthy friends, Pomeroy & Co., have had the patriotism to come out boldly and take let- ters for 6 cents from here to New York, I think a line, by the way of news, would be acceptable, and you may now be advised daily of what is going on in our Queen City of the Lakes. Although I am aware that some of our jockies may not like to have the truth known, in relation to the quantity of breadstuff on hand, at this place, at this time. Nevertheless it being your policy to give the earliest intelligence to your readers they may be able to derive from any source, I deem it but justice to give you a brief statement of the amount of breadstuffs thrown into store here and at Black Rock, for hypothecation, to wit: ‘Wheat, 150,000 bushels, equal in flour to. ... 33,333 bbls. Flour about. . eeeee 000 Making the enormous amount of. in addition of this there is a vast amount of pork, beef, ashes, wool, and other products from the far west, most of which has been thrown into store here by the “Shipping Brokers” for higher prices. As well might tney undertake to damiup the Nia- gara River as to accumulate,an excessive amount of property at this point with the view of raising the price. Who ever heard ef anything but ruin by Rypothecation ? The harvest has already com- menced in Ohio and other South Western States, and owing to the heavy rains and unsettled state ol the roads since the navigation opened, not one half of the surplus old crop has been marketed by the farmers in many parts of the Western States, while at the same time the coming crop looks un- usually well, and from present appearances [ see no other way to ensure an export demand but to let flour go down to four dollars per barrel in your oe and let 2 or 300,000 barrelsgo off at once. he retail price of flour which our city people have to pay, is out of all reason compared to the price itfetches in your market. It brings about $4, and made so by our “shipping brokers.” Another fine specimen of the use of that class of citizens, Flour should be $3 to $34 here. Junius. Canapa,—We have Montreal papers of Monday. Montreal is rapidly and substantially improving.— Sales of real estate show a Baterial advance in prices. Even the loyal Montreal Gazette, which has little affinity with an thing democratic, says of the shameful sen- tence of Gov. Dorr—to solitary confinement in the State Prison at hard labor, for life!—that ‘hanging a man would be mercy compared with a sentence so ravage ‘as this.” {From the St. Catherine’s (Canada) Journal, June 25.) ‘The laborers on the canal, from Barnet’s lock nearly to Thorold, refused to work on Monday last except et an advance of wages. They have been receiving 6s. New York currency, a day, and their demand is 7s. The con- tractors had a meeting on Tuesday, and under the im rion that 6a. was ax much as they could give, concluded ‘© let the works stand till the men should think fit to re- tirn, at the oki wages, which we think were # fair remt:- neration for theirlabor, There has heen no riotous dir turbance, 851 knowledge t NEW YORK, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 4, 1844, St. Cruz de Cuba. (Correspondence of the Herald.) Sr. Cruz pg Cuna, June 18, 1844 Daguerreotype View of St. Cruz de Cuba—Dread- Sul Drowght—Damage done to Vegetation— Trade and Wealth of the Place—Yankee Enter- prise—Tranquillity of the Island, §c. Although in a place where I hear but little of the news of the day, still, as my pen can never be idle, I shall take my subject, even if it only be a broom stick, for it may serve as a handle to some- thing better. This place consists of one row of small thatched houses, stretched along the sandy beach, which forme, with the exception of three small wharves, the landing place for merchandize. Back of the town, the country is very low for a considerable distance, and in the rainy season is generally flooded with water. From here, by the “Camino Real,” to Neuvitas (40 leagues), on the north coast, your rey lays over a pretty level country, well wooded, though not very well watered, but much of it good tor cultivation. The whole Island generally, however, and this region of it in particular, has been for the last 11 months cursed by a most destructive and dreadful drought, such as none can bear record of in times past. Thousands and thousands of cattle have died, and you meet with their lean carcasses by the road side and in the thirsty fields, wherever you turn.— But, thank God! several showers have lately blessed the burning earth ; and I learn from Prit- cipe that the corn and grass is again springing up ; but what the next sugar 7 will be, no one can et tell, for the very roots of the cane?may have een shriveled up in the crispy bosom of the mo- ther soil that should have nourished it, bedewed with nature’s tears } To supply one of the many deficiencies in the markettot this Reasinte, 1 am told that a vessel has Just arrived at Neuvitas from New York, bringing corn, oats, hay, &c., which is selling rapid!y ct high prices. reight for the North is now very scarce, and ] do not know what the four or five packets which trade from New York to the last mamed place, will do for the next six or eight months to come, unless the numerous copper mines of Bayatavo yield enough to make up the deficiency in other freight The mines referred to will, I doubt not, soon form very pnpormant feature in the commerce of the Island of Cuba with the United States; tor several of them are owned by American companies, who are preparing to work themextensively. One Mr. Ditson, of Boston, has just put up at his mines lendid steam engine of Northern manufacture, and I hear that a copper company lately incorpora- ted in New York, has ‘also ordered another engine for their mines, which are in the neighborhood of the former, both of which have produced much of the rich ore sold in England, and bid fair, if some- thing can bejdone in the United States,to give here- after to American vessels a vast quantity of freight _ The Island, I believe, is now perfectly tranquil in every part, and if the refreshing showers do con- tinue, it will soon smile again as the garden of Eden. Sarvs. Mormon War tn Boston. It seems that the Mormon war has extended to the quiet village of Boston. We find in the Mail and Times of the 2d inst., the following account of the first onslaught. [From the Boston Times, July 2.] ‘We mentioned in our first edition this morning that a “State Convention” was holden in this city yesterday to take into consideration the claims of Gen. Joseph Smith for the Presidency. It was convened in the Melodeon, and was attended by a large assembly—many of the audi- ence having probenly gene to the meeting for the pur pose of interrupting its proceedings. Although we have no Laced inthe Objects of the meeting—yet we ac- e right of ‘all to assemble peacoahl inour midatand toi re against disturbance an violence We are sorry to say, that wes not the case yesterday, and that the Mormons were interrupted through the day, by various noises, and in the ¢vening the Melodeon was leased with the presence of several well-known rowdies, many of them whig youog gentlemen—who always act a conspicuous part in poeerosag te break up every assem- bly, which dees not happen to of their own political family, Many of the proceedings and speeches were eccentric of course, and characterised by a vein of ridicu lousness and broad furce in the estimation of those who dissent from the Mormons in opinion—but these things offered,no justification to others to rush in and breek up their meetings. If this is the spirit they meet with in Mlinois, then are they more sinned against than sinning. Abby Folsom was there in the course of the evening, and tried to get a hearing, but the cat-calls and other cries abounded so much, that even she was ashamed of the diatarbers and retired from the Hall in disgust, Gen. White of Nauvoo aptly declared in the course of the evening, that he had seen Eastern missionaries amon; the Indians ofthe West, trying to civilize them, but it the proceedings ef the rowdies that evening were a sample of Boston eivilization, he thought that for the future the missionaries had Netter stay and begin the work at home. Gen White also said that he would send a mission of Sa: and Foxes to civilize Boston. In fact the Mormons last night appeared to great advantage by the side of the Boston elite. During the latter part of the evening, while one of the speakers was addressing the audience, a young man in the gallery rose und commenced a series of ow ey remarks, in the delivery of which he was encou- rage by some companions. He kept on, and when the police came in to take him out, they were assaulted and beaten badly by a set of young desperadoes. After much hard fighting however, they succeeded in clearing the gallery. One of the assistants, Mr. Sheldon. a fine ath!e- tie fellow, was cut badly, but not dangerously in the face by astickin the hands of one of the cut-throats. The meeting was soon t broken up. These things a: \d are owing to the culpable conduct of a portion of our “ respectable six pennies,” who make fun out of, and encourage these violations of the rights ot others, and also to the supineness ef the Mayor and other officers. The influence of such papers as we have re- ferred to, it it continues to be exerted, will make Boston » Pandemonian Crh where haman devils will sreign trumphant. The Mermons adjourned their meeting to Bunker Hill this afternoon at 4 o’clock. We give the doings of the Conventoin below, as a fea- ture in the history of the times : Hon. Brigham Young, of Nauvoo, President. Hon. William Smith and Gen, Lyman White, of Illinois, Vice Presidents. Hon. William Woodruff and Prof. Orson Pratt, of {Uinois, and Ananias McAllister, Esq., of Boston, and J. H. Felt, Exq., of Salem, Secretaries, The Convention was addreased with much animation and zeal, in the course of the day and evening, by the President, Gen White. Hon. Orson Hyde, Daniel Spencer. Hon. William Smith, Prof. Orvon Pratt, all of Illinois, and George B, Wallace, Esq , of Boston. {From Boston Mail, July 2. The Mormon Convention last evening at the Melodeon baie inarow. A set of uneasy spirits continually annoyed: the speaker, until finally aunt Nabby Folsom cose in her place and essayed to speak (she only asked the modest time of two minutes to tell her atory,) when the cry of “‘hear her, hear her,” drowned ev thing and Nabby put on her dignity and left the piace. A young gentleman in the gallery then rose, and, in spite ot all the efforts to put him down, made a sentimental speeeh and sung a sentimental song. This—that is, either the song or the speech, or both—was too much for Mormon hilosuphy to bear ; and a party of the faithful having i sent after the police, an attempt to take the last speaker into custody caused confusion to confound itself, and such a scene came off at has not been seen since the reat Tyler Mass Convention at Faneuil Hall. Finally, e lights were partially extinguished, and it was voted to dissolve the meeting. The audience mostly left, and another attempt was made to organize; but seme of the saints seemed to be of opinion that it was useless to ex- pend their eloquence upon bare walls, and they gave it up. The whole affair was disgraceful enough. The Mormons hired the Melodeon, and had a right to work off their own folly in their own way, so long aa they did not interfere with the rights of others. That they are a set of ignorant and designing men, there can- not, we think, after what has transpired, be any doubt among intelligent men ; but still they have their rights, and these should not befinterfered with, Dreaprut Arrarr—A Wire anp Niece Suor 1x tue Street sy THe Husnann or THe Former.— Philadelphia has been again shocked and disgraced by a double murder, committed in open daylight in the public street, in the district of Kensington. Yesterdiy afternoon &@ man named Wesley Flavell, living at the corner of Howard and Master stre jeliberately shot hia wife and the neice of the latte girl 14 years of age, named Elizabeth McMurray. The particulars of the dreadful af- fair are as follows :—Flavell, whe wi clerk in tl 5 ploy fof Wright & Fisher, umbrella dealers in street, was intempera’e, and had scarcely draw: ber breath for the last month past. Yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock, he came into aroom which his wife was clean. ing, and told her that he would shoot her. She being ap- prehensive that he might do her harm, went to the house of aneighbor and stayed for some time. At last, thinkin; that he had forgotten his threat, she started to go bac! home. On approaching the house she saw him standing in the door with a pistol in his hi Believing that he intended mischief, turned to avoid him, and at the same time met in the street her niece, who was coming towards the houre. At this moment her husband fired the pistol at her. The weapon, as is believ was loaded with two slugs, one of which entered back of Mrs. Flavell, above the hip, and lodged in the abdomen—the other entering and lodging in the abdomen’ of tal Both wife and girl were Lo gin hy great eyeny wi it any hope of recovery.

The annual commencement of this institution took place on Tuesday. At 9o’clock, A. M., the Council, Chancellor, Faculties, and Students as- sembled at the University, and) were joined by a large concourse of spectators, some of whom had been invited to join in the procession, to the Church of the Messinh, Broadway, which was chosen as most suitable for holding the exercises, and accommodating the very numerons assem- blage of visiters, who there repaired to witness the proceedings. Large as the building is, it was not sufficient to contain them ; and we were sorry to see a great many ladies compelled to stand during the somewhat lengthy service. It may be truly said, however, that they were in no wise tedious; for neither the heat of a sultry day, nor the some- what inconveniently crowded edifice, proved suffi- cient to diminish the great attention that was paid by all present to the very able addresses of the ta- lented young gentlemen who successively addres- sed the house. The procession formed, to proceed to the Church of the Messiah, in the following order :— The Janitor— Students of Arts—Candidates for the Bac- calaureate—Alumni of the University—Studenta and Alumni of the Medical Dorectment- Siariars.ol the Uni- versity Grammar Schuol—The Faculty of Science and Letters—The Medical Faculty—Professors not of the Faculty—The Chancellor of the University—The Coun- cil—The Governor ot the State—Lieuteuant Governor and the Hon the State Senate—Members of the State As. sembly —Members of Congress—Foreign Ministers—Judg- es of the United States, State, and City Courts— Officers of the Army end Navy—The Hon the Mayor and Common Councilof this city and Brooklyn—Regents of the State University—The President and Lopes d of Columbia Col lege—Professors of the College of Physicians and Sur- eons Officers of the New York Historical Society—The ‘ev.

The Chancellor opened the business by prayer and reading the Holy Scriptures. The choir, un- der the superintendence of Mr. Timm, lent valua- ble aid, and the pieces of music introduced were well received. The exercises were proceeded with as follows:— 1 Latin Salutatory, Thomas B. Stirling. 2. English Salntatery, with Oration, David F. Sayre. Music, 3 Poeti . JarvisCarter. 5.

They give usa few more par ticulars relative to the tremendous flood at the west and the Mormon difficulties. {irom St, Louis papers, June 24) Tne Moxmons.—Gov. Ford, of Illinois, is at Carthage to negotiate with Jo Smith, just as he did prior to the lust Congressional clection—when he or his agents visited St. Louis, contrived a plan to get a writ against Jo, held it in torrorem over him until he had agreed to transfer the whole Mormon vote to Hoge, the Locofoco candidate, and then lot him loose. It willbe done. ‘The locofocos can not dispense with the three or four thousand votes con. trolled by Jo Smith. Natuvoo is said to be destitute of an adequate supply o! provisions. Anorder for a large quantity of flour was sent to this city on Friday, and the st er Osprey teok up 280 barrela. irday was the day appointed for an trance upon the “ Holy City.” Hancock county is un- der mi law, one portion being controlled Mor. mons, and the other by the anti-Mormon: fo Woubt many of the rumors trom that neighborhood are highly exaggerated; but what the result of the excitement there may be, we cannot predict, although we are inclined to believe that there will be no serious conflict between the parties. e learn by the Die Vernon, arrived yesterday from Keokuk, that Gov. lord had reached Carthage and issued orders forthe Fourth Brigade of the Fifth Division of Militia, composed of Hancock, McDonough and Brown counties, to concentrate at some point in Hancock county, there to await further orders, should their services be re- quired in the present Mormon dirliculties, ‘Tux Froop.—The river is nearly three feet high- er than it was during the great flood of 1785.

Accepted Salyer Pettit, Inspector of Lime; Wel- Police Otticer, 16th ward. ‘offered an amendment proposing to let the resolution lie on the table. ‘The question on the original resolution was then taken up. Ald. Cozzexs was of opinion that in no part of the city was an officer wanted more than in the 16th ward, as @ murder was committed there lately. Aas. Ald, Cuantick was opposed to this mode of ap. intment. The mejority in the Board retuse Police Re- orm, and yet they admit the necessity for such aid to Syoiect the sence ‘of the city. He would suggest that the Mayor send! one of his Marshals to perlorm the required services. Alderman Hassrovucx followed in opposition. He con- tended that they were bound to reduce the expenses, and if they appointed at all, let them appoint an effective force. After some further remark irom Alderman Emmans in Opposition, the resolution was adopted. Ayes 22; N Appointments continued —Charles G_ Kelling, Weigher; Daniel Morgan, Weigher of Merchandize ; Samuel Persel), Edward Coats, Inspectors of Cut Stone. Dr. Leavitt and Mr. Diinker.—The chairman (Alderman Hasbrouck) of the committee in the cases of William W. Drinker and Dr. Leavitt, stated that the committee wish- ed to defer making their report for the present. Alderman Cezzsns, as one of the committee in the case of Mr. Drinker, begged to temask, that ua one of the com. mittee, he was enabled to say that they did not at any one time meet together. Alderman Hassnovcx objected to the gentleman muk- ing any remarks until the committee reported, Assistant Alderman Cuanzicx followed in support of the chairman, Alderman Cozzena #aid that the committee had two re- ports, and it he was at liberty to reveal the business that took place before the committee he would do so. Aseistunt Ald, Cuaniicx—One of the reports was in fa- vor of reperting without the testimony; the other was in favor of reporting with the testimony. He contended they were bound to repert with the testimony, and then the board could judge for themselves, and ‘then there would be no difficulty toascertain the fact» Ald. Gaus moved that the commit They hadjexamined no less thi he had deen disgusted with the p wing amounted to nothing at ull ‘K rose to order, 3 said the interruption was out of order, Ald, Hasbrouck give way. ain decided in favor of Ald. Cozzens, when Ald Gate continued, The charges were all disproved except one. Alderman Hassnovex rose to order. The Cxaix was of opinion that tho Alderman of the 2d Ward (Alderman Gale) had perfect right to reler to any maiter that occurred in the committee which would just) fy him in his motion for their discharge. Alderman Gate continued.—The committee were worn out, and nothing was done; he would, therefore, move their discharge. Alderman the one of the committee, was tired out. He begged their discharge, as nothing more was to be done by them. Alderman § Lo it he knew his own heart and his own motives, he had acted in the business with strict impartiality, aud his mind was made up. So far as Drinker wasin qnestion, his mind was made up that the charge wasuntrue. He had been treated with discourtesy by the members of the committee during a long session, and was in hopes that the matter could be brought betore the committee, but he found not.

Hasbrouck offered to resign his place as Chairman oi the committee, but it was refused. As had beep remark- ed, he had treated the whole subject with derision, as he felt aasured the whole was a mere political ruse; aregular political trick, Assistant Alderman Vo was present as a member of the committee; but refused to sign the report. All were unavimous as to two of the charges, which were not sua- tained If the report would supply the testimony, which could be read before the Board, he would sign the report. Some of the committee were ‘snoring asleep on chairs during the exomiuation. (Laughter.) Ass, Ald. Cuanticy said tt seemed strange that such a motion should come from the. gentleman of the Second Ward, (Ald Gale.) The motion ought not be made by any petson who thought that Mr. Drinker was munocent. He would ask why should Mr Drinker, if he were inno- cent, be deprived of the advantage of the testimony pre- sented. Let it not be kept back trom the public, as the fact of bes it back looked suspicious, and the exam- ination of forty witnesses on such a matter ought not be kept beck from the public'im such a manner. ‘The com- mittee were not call.d upon to whitewash the reputation of Mr. Drinker ; but to give the result of their labors to the Board, and let the public see the testimony. There was much in the testimany that was favorable to Mr. Drinker; there was also much that was unfavorable— and the individual of the Second Ward—— Ald Cozz«xs rose to order. No such term as “endit dual” should be employed by any member in speaking of a brother member of this Board. Ass Ald Cnaxtice applied the term in the same spirit in which the Alderman of the Second (Ald. Gale) used it, “tin derision.” ‘Ald. Gave explained ; he meant nothing offensive by using the wor “derision,” or “ individual ” Assistant Alderman Cuanticx accepted in courtesy the explanation fromthe Alderman of the Second. He con- tended that the friends of Mr. Drinker ought not to hesitate to bring forward the testimony. Alderman Garr would say a few further words, The chairman of the committee (Alderman Hasbrouck) was the judge in this case, and judges were considered ol ways impartial. Yet the judge had ransacked the city for evidence in the case, He hoped the committee would be discharged.

Alderman Hasnrovce felt it due to himself to state in relation to Mr. Drinker, that he had never heard any thing about him until two days before his fepoiatnent ; and Eat he had acted in relation to him with uo Bae dice. The statement of the Alderman of the 24 (Gale) was untrue in regard to the selection of himself (Ald. H.) as chairman. Alderman Cozzexs felt constrained to explain the course taken pr ibe chairman of the committee. t Alderman Cuanuice rose to a question of ‘The Cram was of opinion that the Alderman of the Sr (Cozzens) was not in order in referring to matters that ocenrred under the injunction of secresy before ‘thy com- Alderman Cozzens felt he was not out of order. The rh Points were scouted for evidence against Mr. Drinker. @The Cnaie called the Alderman of the 3rd (Cozzens) to order. He should address the chair. Alderman Cozzexs wished the chair to look him (Ald. C,) in the face, as it would inspire him with confidence. (Loud laughter, in which the chair heartily joined, and cries of “previous queation.”) Assistant Alderman Cuaacicx was opposed to the mo- tion for the previous question, which wea made for the pu of choking off the debate when charges were mi inst some of the members, fas it was insinuated the “Five Points’ were # for evidence.

They were at once classical and chaste and well worthy of seeing. The first exhibition was Otty Motty on two strange horses, selected from stables in New York, and never before rode by him, on which he stood erect with one foot on each horse, without saddle or covering. This is what is termed by the ancients in their ports “‘Numide Desul ores,” and we believe has never betore been seen in this country. The spirit of sport was prevailing, and the odds were against his performing the task, 1 mile in 2 minutes 8 seconds, 3 to 1, and even on 2 10; seconds. He went forth and rode in most gailant | style, and up the back it was a most beautiful | sight—a man erect, one leg on each horse—guid- ing in most beauutul style—as straight as a statue and quite as graceful, and came home in 2 minutes 9 seconds, The next was a Chariot Race between two Roman Chariots, each drawn by two splendid hor-ea, and driven by Otto Motty and Sig. Laotini- ni, charioteers in Roman style, correctly and mag nificently attired in the ancient costume of Roman charioteers, displaying the most incredible skull and address in turning and manogement of their pirited steeds, during their fearful fligat around the course. ‘The chariots, which were constructed in the strictest conformity with those used by the ancients, were decorated in the most gorgeous splendor, and of sufficient strength to protect the arg drivers from accident. Otto Motty appeared on a stage erected for the purpose in front of the siaads, and went through his astonishing exhibition ot human strength and cour- age. He cust up three cannon bails, weighing 24, 30 and 42 pounds each, at a distance of trom ten to fifteen feet in the aur, and caught the immense ball in its descent upon the back of his uncovered neck without the assistance of hishands. He also caught them from ao equal height upon the muscles of his arms, aud balanced them in that po- sitioa, ‘Lhis was preceded by a match race of one mile between Otto Motty, étanding on two horses, and the winning chariot—the chariot to have forty yards in the start. Otto soon recovered the advantage, before they got to the quarter, and led all the way home, w nning easy—the other coming in somewhat about a dozen lengths behind. ‘To-day (Thursday) there will be two perform- ances—one at Il, ihe other at 4 o’clock.

Barnes died on the following day. Dr. Mipoietox Goivssita sworn.—He described the nature of the wound ; made post mortem examination, and considered the cause of death was occasioned by cf- fusion of blood to the brain. The wound must have been inflicted by a blunt instrument or falling on a hard sub. ance ; the external wound was not elf sufficient to produce death ; the heart was enlarged, the liver fatty and the lungs diseased, indicative that the person was e¢ drinking man ; the cause of death must have been the re- sult of blows, and not a common case of apoplexy. ‘At this stage of the triol, Mr. T.

Lastevening, pursuant to a call, this party assem- bled to plant in froat of Tammany Hall another Young Hickory Pole. ‘The Committee appointed | for that purpose had procured from Staten Island a stately tree emblematic of the stern principles of theirparty. At about half past 6 o’clock, the Young Hickory was brought to the spot in front of Tam- many Hall, where it was to be planted, accompa! nied by a Jong procession with music, and banners flying. After appropriate ceremonies the tree was raised to the spot where it now stands, amid the shouts of the multitude and the thunder of artillery. Immediately after the tree was planted, a line was extended from its top to the upperpart of Tam- many Hall, on which was suspended one ef the largest and most splendid banners which we ever beheld. On this banner were inscribed in large and flowing capitals the names of * James K. Polk and George M. Dallas—and Demecratic Reading Room.” immediately after the ceremony of erecting the tree, one of the most enthusiastic end numerous meetings of the democracy which has ever assem- bled in this city, was spontaneosly convened in front of Tammany Hall. - The meeting was organ- ized by the appointment ot a President and Vice Presidents. Lorenzo B. Shepherd, Esq , then first addressed the assembled muititudes. He discussed in eloquent terms the questions of the Bank, Texas, Tarifi, and the distribution of the public lands. His speech was received with great enthusiasm by the meeting. Chantye Newoan followed Mr, 8 epherd in an oppro} priate address upon the same questions, ‘The Hon.
