NE. YORK HERALD. ——————————— New York, Friday, September 27, 1844, ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY HERALD! The Great Meeting of the Whigs IN CANAL STREET. THE “NATIONAL REFORMERS,” THE GREAT ORICKET MATOH For $1000, The next illustrated Weexty Hxratp will con- tain a large engraving of the extraordinary scene exhibited in Canal street, on Thursday evening last, on occasion of the great Whig Mass Meeting. National Hall is seen illuminated, and the various s ands, banners, crowds, orators, song-singers, and all are exhibited. Also, a very graphic and spirited illustration of the meeting of the “ National Reformers,” also on the “‘Cana! street plan.” In this the Reformers are seen in the act of being swallowed up bya locofuco procession. An engraving will likewise be given of the great Cricket Match for $1000, between the Canadian and St. George’a Club. Altogether one of the richest and most attractive pictorial papers yet pub- lished The Whig Monster Mass Meeting—4 Glimpse of Hope Yet. Tne whigs ef New York held their great Mon- ster Mass Meeting last night in Canal street, op- posite National Hall. It was truly a tremendous and overwhelming meeting, but yet hardly to be compared in point of mere numbers and mad en- thusiasm te the receat democratic gathering in Tammany Hall, although in respectability, intel ligence, and drapery, of American manufacture, it was far superior. The sky was clear and cool— the moon bright as day—and the whole upper end of Canal street full of the thousands who attended The details, consisting of speeches and other proceedings, will be found reporied at length in this day’s paper. It will be seen that a most sin- gular silence was maintained by the speakers on the occasion with respect to the present relative position of the party and the abolitionists. Texas was dropped altogether, and the orators fell back on the old threadbare theme of the tariff. All the intelligent members of the great whig party pertect- ly understand the dangers and duties of ‘the pre- sent crisis, but the ignorant, indiscreet, and logger- headed leaders and orators who have brought the cause into jeopardy, now appear to be perfectly paralysed and are afraid to move. We shall see, however, whether the good sense, the sound judg- ment, and the active zeal of the whig masses them- selves be sufficient for the emergency into which mismanagement has brought them. Great discontent and bad feeling have prevailed for some time in the whig ranks here, in conse- quence of feuds existing between the old and youag whigs, growing out of certain nominations. Every effort has been made by the best friends of Mr. Clay to pacify these discontents, and according to all appearances last night, they are quieted for the present, to break out, however, hereafter. Much yet remains to be done before the whigs can reco- ver their lost ground and get up the old spirit. If they carry Maryland in the State election of next Wednesday by a handsome majo- rity, and New Jersey and Pennsylvania in the State elections held the week after, the whigs may also carry New York in November. If they do not, we will not answer for the consequences to Henry Clay. Mark that—-there’s no time or aid to be lost. Imrortant Reuicious Iwret INCKE—EXTRAOR- pivaky Triumea or Bisnor OnpeRponx AND THE Puszyites —The proceedings of the Episcopal Conveution yesterday, in St. Joha’s Church, were exceedingly interesting, as will appear from the ample report which we give in this day’s paper. It will be perceived, that soon after morning ser- vice, Judge Oakley, a lay delegate from St. Tho- mas’, introduced 1 same resolution which created the great difficulty during the Convention last year—a resolution having reference, techni- cally, simply to the power of the bishop, but all know to embrace in its consequences the doctrinal controversy which has so agitated the Episcopal church in England and this country, under the name of Puseyism—on the power of the clergy as su ors of the ancient Aposiles, the fishermen of Galilee. After a very curious, interesting, pious, orderly, apostolic, philosophical, legal and Christian debate, listened to with the deepest in- terest by hundreds of lovely angels inside, in the shape of elegant and fashionably dressed women, and myriads of celestial spirits on the beautiful trees of St. John’s Park, this resolution was de- cided by a great majority in favor of the power of Bishop Onderdonk and the clergy, againet that ot the radical reformers and religious locofocos of the day We congratulate the Episcopal Church and the Dhristiaa world, on the triumph of the cleray over the fell spirit of religious locofocoism. Bishcp Onderdonk has stuck to his text like a man, and he deserves all the credit, which he will doubtless receive here and hereafter, for maintaining the authority and dignity of his order against the rabid aseaults of those locofoco religionists, who want to get their hands, by some roundabout method, into the sub-treasury and strong-box of Trinity Church Corporation. Important ¥RoM CaNava—DIssoLUTION oF THE Partiamunt.—We have intelligence from Canada that Governor Metcalfe has dissolved the present Parliameat, and ordered a new one to meet at Montreal in November. The new elections will take place soon. It will be a stormy time, and may be said to be the beginning of a Canadian revolution. The Canadians are a troublesome— quarrelsome, refractory people. They are eter- nally quarrelling with their bread and butter. If Queen Victoria would only withdraw herself from them, we would see the fur fly Mepicat INTRLLIGENCE.—We have heard with pleasure that a Professorship of Comparative Ana- tomy has been established in the College of Phy- sictans a Surgeons in this city, and that Dr James E.

About six o’clock the numerous clubs throughout the city began to muster at their respective quarters, and about seven o’clock they poured down in thousands to the head-quarters at National Hall. Ia front of National Halland on the opposite side of the street, a large platform was erected, and two smaller ones on each side between Cen- tre street and Broadway. But at least half a do- zen independent stands were afterwards got up by such of the orators and song-singers as could not scramble on the platforms provided expressly for the great occasion. Atleast twenty thousand hu- man beings were congregated together in thestreet, whilst the Hall itself was crammed from top to bottom, When the cannon, which had been thundering away from six till seven o’clock, ceased firing, and the speechifying andisinging commenced, the scene was picturesque and exciting in the extreme. The bright light from the illummated windows of the “Hall,” the torches, and the bonfires, fell in a full stream on the assembled masses, whilst the dazzling moonlight rendered the surrounding houses as visible almost as in open day, and dis- covered every one of their windows filled with women and children gazing on the strangely diver- sified scene. The shoutings of the crowd—the loud drums of the bands—the screams of some of the orators—the shrieks of the song-singers—the uproarious laughter—the loud oaths—the coarse jokes—and all the Babel of sounds which issue trom amob, may be better imagined than deseri- bed. Bat, altogether, it was a wonderfal scene of excitement and enthusiasm—almost equal to that at Tammany Hall, last week. ‘ Just as at the great Democratic monster meeting, the most amusing part of the affair was the trenzied eagerness manifested by the small potatue orators to geta chance of speaking, The smaller stands were actually beseiged by crowds of ora- tors and minstrels, ‘The melodists were aaa most successful in theireflorts, After hearing halt a dozen sentenees from some chap who had been fortunate enough to geta place on the rostrum, about the “taritl,” or “protection,” or “the loco- foco quondam speaker—Poik,” or “gallows and Dallas,” or British gold,” the crowd would get impanent, andthe call for ‘a song, a song,” the “old coon,” “Here’s to thee, Harry Clay,” would drown the orator’s voice completely, and after vainly shouting, and gesticulating, and tossing his hande wildly about his head, the orator would be shoved aside, and the minstrel, hoarse as a frog, and flashed with brandy, would rush forward to shriek out— “we're a band of freemen— We're a band of freemen— And we'll shout it through the air.” Then there would be “three cheers for the singers”—‘‘three cheers for Henry Clay”’—‘three cheers for the American eagle,”—another rush of half a dozen desperate orators—another speech of ten sentences—another terrible sheut for ‘asong,”. tollowed by more cheering, tossing about of torches, aud enthusiastic waving of flags and ban- ners. 3 Certainly the whole scene gave evidence of the existence of the greatest possible degree of excite- meotand enthusiasm amongst the masses of the people assembled. It is impossible, however, to give anything like a report of all the speeches, nor 18 that @ matter very deeply to be regretted. Of all that were of any importance we give accurate sketches, so as to exhibit the general character and purport et the addresses. It will be seen that only the old topics of the tariti—protection—the welfare of the mechanic, and so ou were taken up by the orators. National Hall, Here the large room was densely crowded, but no organization was atiempted, After waiting for se minutes, the crowd became impatient, and a song was called tor. Two of the micstrele tien came foeward> and sung— “Here’s a banc of Brotners.” Then there were calls for w speaker, on which Mr. Blunt stepped forward and requested the crowd to adjourn to the street “where they would have the pure air and the heavens above them. The whig cause was pro- perly advocated in the face of the heavens, for it fid not ask concealment.” But the crowd would not hear, and another song was catled tor. A tail, good-looking chap, with a fine tenor voice, then said he “would give them the sovg about the frog-pond, that Mr. Bennett had said some- thing about in his paper that moraing.” Tie thea sung, eliciting great laughter and ap- plause, a song in Which the prominent men of the (wo parties were represented as ‘“‘trogs,” Mr. Ty ler as a “tadpole,” and Mr. Clay as a ‘weil-frog” croaking “only to make his country blest.” The minstrel having retired there were loud calls tor “ Moreis Fran.in,” oa which that genleman made his appearance and addressed the crowd as follows:— It seems that even the street is not large enough to hold us, and some of us have to muster on this the old battie- ground. (Cheers,) 1 am happy to extend the right hand of fellowship to you all, and particuierly to my friend with the red flannel shirt (Loud cheers.) [This was ad- dressed to a sailor, who with seven or eight of his shipmates had entered the Hall and surrounded the rostrum with torches.)

(Cheers) We would break down your taruf—shut up your workshops—give to the capitalists all the wealth—und cover our domestic industry with the deep and damning flood of foreign manufactures.

After a general exhortation to activity and zeal, Mr. F. concluded, and retired amid deafening cheers. Geo. W. Baven, Exq. then appeared and made a few re marks on the beneficial influence of the tariff on com- meres, referring particularly to the Chinese trade, the ex portarion of American mautfactured goods, now answet- ing thy as specie Mr. Bauss wus followed by an old shipmaster, whose name we could not learn, who harangued the sons of Nep tine Who Were present, but who di: not appeuraltogeth er well iniormed on the object of their attendance, for on hus asking them if they would vote for Polk in opposition to sich aman as Henry Clay, who first run up to the mast head the flag of “Free Trade and Sailor’s Rights,’ the “Sons of Neptune” answered with great unanimity and enthusiasm, that “Polk und Clay might be d—d, they for more grub.” ‘This produced a great deal nt, and a general disposition to adjourn ap. pearing in the crowd, we left for the ‘The Street, is A large stand was ereeted nearly opposite the Hall in Canal street, wkich was tastefully decora- ted with banners and brilliantly illuminated with torches Moses H.

He was gratified to find so li an assemblage of his friends, whose numbers he could not recognize from the vast extent to whieh they bad reached. He came for- ward from Ohio in the great Whig cause, and congratu- ted the vast numbers around him on the enthusiasm of the great Whig party, for every where that he bad gone— in Ohio,New York, theremote South, or no matter where, the enthusiasm of the great Whig ‘party was daily in- creasing. There was no one principle seemed to catch the feelings of the people more than the doctrine of pro- tection.

(Cheers) Polk had never given @ vote in fa- vor of the protection of American industry, and he trust- ed that the interests of the American people would be tri- urmphant at the approaching election. (Cheers) After briefly reviewing the progress of the present struggle in Ohio, the speaker concluded by stating it would give a ms, zy 12,000, he honorable Ganget M. Davis, of Kentucky, next addressed the meeting. In the present contest they were bound to come forward toa man, and in the decisions of the people, the principles and measures of the great whig party were to be laid down for the protection of the in tereats of the country. They asked their friend to come forward and exercise their aries in favor of the whig party. He asked, were the friends of Americen protec- tion’ willin, ivenp the blessings they enjoyed of pro- tection to their labor, and vote for Polk, for the benwfit of foreigners? He trusted not. ‘he speaker then conclu- ded, when the meeting joined the procession, The Row. é Whilst the Canal street proceedings were going on, the “Empire Club” in tremendous force, was parading the streets, and several skirmishes took place between it and some of the Clay Clubs which were progressing towards the monster meeting. In the Bowery a slight disturbance took place. But the chiet row and grand finale to the business of the night took place in froat of the Park Theatre Here, about ten o'clock, the “Empires” and “Kniekerbockers” met, and a regular “*battle-roy- al” took place. Banners were tore to atoms—such of the belligerents as wore coats and vests, had them torn into rags—the claret flowed profusely, and for a few minutes the scene was interesting, amusing ond exciting in the extreme. The row occurred just as the curtain had fallen at the Park, after the firsi piece, and the ladies who were leav- ing were driven back into the theatre in a state of great alarm. Soon, however, the belligerents re treated to their respective quarters—the street was again quiet—the mooubeams fell with a placid ra- diance on the statue of the ‘* immortal,” and sil- vered the top of the trees in the Park—the fountain marmured a quiet tune—the gin and brandy flowed copiously in the cellars of Park Row—drunken cabmen disputed about their tare—the dice ratiled in the hells of Barclay§street—vice and crime start- ed on their nightly rounds—and the lazzaroni who follow both camps, shook their wallets, and reck- oned the results of another day’s shouting, singing, spouting, plotting, lying aud blasphemy. Sorentivic INnTELLIGENCE—EXFLOSION OF THE Locomotivs “Ricumonp.”—It will be recollected that about three weeks since an engine on the Reading Railway exploded during a violent thun- derstorm, killing four individuals, and causing de- struction of property to the amount of ten thousand dollars. The circumstances of the case have been till within the last few days, uninvestigated, and the cause of the catastrophe unexplained. Messrs. Norris, the builders of the engine, have, during the last week, had Dr. Lardner engaged in making a complete investigation of the affair, and a report upon it, with copious minutes of evidence will, es we are informed, be speedily published. Tt appears that this explosion is, taken in all its circumstances, the mest extraordinary catastrophe which has oceurred since the invention of the lo- comotive engine. The machine suddenly blew up when drawing a moderate load on a level railway, at a speed of only ten miles an hour. The report of the explosion was terrific, such as to shake the buildings for miles around—and euch as, had it not occurred amid the roar of the elements in ea thun- derstorm, might have been heard at twenty miles distance. The boiler, fire box, smoke box, chim- ney, cylinders, and pistons, forming one compact mass, weighing above eleven tons, sprang up- wards from its carriage, was projected through the air, overleaping the tence of the railway, and lighi- ed on its end in a field two hundred feet from the spot from which it took flight. From thence it re- bounded, and finally came to the ground at a place above eighty yards from the place of the explosion, Let it be remembered, that the mass which thus disported itself, had the weight of a moderate sized sloop! The body of the conductor was projected into the air, and took the ground at a peint one hundred feet ahead of the beiler, and that of the engineer was flung into a field thirty or forty yards on the other side of the road. The working ma- chinery, which the boiler Jett behind it, was ripped and tora to shreds. Heavy wrought iron beams, six inches square, were broken like gingerbread. Strong iron rods were bent, twisted and knotted like silkea threads. The tires were cut trom the wheels asif by a cold chisel, and the rails of the road itself cut threugh like wax. The bodies of tie killed showed no mark of scald or burn, death being caused solely by concussion or contusion. None upon the engine survived to tell the story of the catastrophe, which can only be gathered from the circumstances, We shall probably be able, in the course of a few days, to give the substance of the report of the re- ults of this curious investigation. Imvortayt From CaNnapa.—We have received Montreal papers of the 24th inst. [t appears that the Provincial Parliament has been dissolved, and a new election ordered. On this crisis in the affairs of Canada, the Montrea/ Herald, « loyalist organ, utters the following re- marks :— We ore u the eve of a general election, which must be the most important, in its results, uf ‘any that has akon place, since Canada, by becoming a British Pro- vince, cea ed to be a despoticully governed dependence of France, and obtai ed (hat free representative form of constitutional self-government, which Greet Britain nlone enjoyed, or cowl bestow. jue faetion may str Howev:r, the Baldw: veto hilw the tact, whatever © fan rastic tricks” they may pliy cll, there are, in truth, only two great politien! partivs vo be found in Canada : 11, Those who—whatever theic whether ‘ory, Whi, or Radical—sincerely live the her country, and ite monarchial instiationa, and herefore, seek io maintain the integrity of the empire, mperial politics to which'they are proud and happy to belon nd —Thoxe who—whotever their pret sand lip by revolutionising our constitution, snd loyalty — seek, legrading the legitimate power of the Sovereign, to sepa- anada from Great Britein, and either setup tor or petition (contemptible as they are !) to be , a8 @ state, into the neighbouring republican atio: Ail minor distinctions are now merged and swallowed up, in these two grand classes in our popwation, end the result of the approsching election, will go for to decide, for ages at least, the fate of ourselves aud our children. The new Parliament is ordered to meet on the 12th of November next. Mexican Recartion.—We find the following paragraph in a New Orleans paper, of a recent date ;~- Mr, Shannon was greeted with a warmer reception by the authorities of Vera Crug than was ever tendered to # — WAffaives from the United States at any fermer period. And in another paper the annexed appesrs:— On G yernor Shannon’s journey tothe city of Mexico in the diiigence, the vehio'# wy « attack d by rebbers, end (ho passengers, incl ing Mr. 8, rifled of their money. This is certainly one of the warmest receptions one would wish to meet with, From Port av Piatt.—The Archelaua, Captain srowell, arrived yesterday, having sailed on the 7h inst. Things were very unseitled, on count { an expected attack by the Haytiens, M the inhabitants were leaving for other parts of the ad. A union of the different Haytien factions, inder President Gueticr, was supposed wo have cen effected. The Spaniards were making active preparations for defence. Great Cricket Mateh Between the Players of Canada and the St. George's Club, This match was resumed yesterday. The morn- ing was dull, the weather cold, with a piercing wind blowing—notwithstanding the contending parties were well up at the time appointed, 10 o’clock, dressed and eager for the termination of the game. Some little delay took place in conse- quence of the absence of one of the umpires, Mr. Waller, whose engagements compelled him to leave on the evening of the previous day for Phil- adelphia, having previously given notice that such would be the case if the match extended beyond the second day. A gentleman from Boston, as we uvderstood, was appointed in the place of Mr. Waller. Abeut 12 o’clock the sun shone forth, which much enlivened the ecene, and appeared to renew the life in the players, as well as to in- crease the numbers on the ground. There was as we previously stated, five to four on the Canadians, with but few takers, six to four wanted; though there were some few on the ground of whom it might be said— \ “ Most fools until by loosing rendered sager, Back their opinions by a wager,” were going it even, but they were only the excep- tions to the rule. Messrs. Wild and Bage resumed their play, and the opinion generally was that the former was good for ten at the least, while the latter was pretty cer- tain of making the average of what was required from each and every one. Mr. Wild received the first ball of the day ; but notwithstanding the hopes and expectations of both parties after being in about ten minutes, he was bowled out by Winkworth only making two runs. This threw a damper on the part of the St. George’s people—the founder of the club it was hoped would bave been more success. ful—but then they consoled themselves with the old saying, the “ worse luck now, better by and by.” Mr. Bage bore his bat in triumph off the field, not making one for his morning’s exertion. The following was the state of the game at the termination on Monday evening :— St. Gronoe’s Crus—Fiast Inne Mr. Turner, b. Winkworth. . “ R, Tickner,¢ Thompson. ‘* Wheatcroft, b. Wentworth. 8.

For the second innings of the Canadians, Mesers. Winkworth and Maddocks went in, and had to contend againat the bowling of Messrs. Groom and Wright, of which the score will speak, with this exception, thatit is seldom that Mr. Groom makes se many wide balls, and it can only be ac- counted for by the somewhat high plete throughout the early part of the day. The mem- bers of the St Geerge’s showed themselves in first rate trim for the field. Mr. Syme, it is true, was somewhat lame from the effects of a blow on the knee received on Tuesday, but nevertheless torgot his pain and lame Jeg when there was a necessity for it, and was as good a fielder as the be: Mr. Dudson as long stop was most excellent, a ein- gle ball went by him—all were received in such style asto call Forth the approbation of both oppo- nents and friends, Mr. Barber showed great skill in his batting, though not very successful. But “It’s not for mortals to command success : They may do more—deserve it.” Mr. Groom received a severe blow on the knee and was obliged to withdraw for a short time—Mr. H. Wilson, of the Broeklyn Club, taking his place in the field; but the former gentleman soon recov- ered, and resumed his situation. Of Mr. Philpots, little need be said ; the score speaks for itselt. His batting is only equalled by his fielding, aa wicket keeper. Witd’spointed play deserves observation ; it was just such as what might be expected from anold and experienced player. For further par- ticulars, we refer to the score :— \ Canaprans—Sroonp Innaras, Mr. Winkworth, b. Wright. .... Maddock, b Groom « ‘Thompson, 1 w... “ Barber, b. Groom « Birch, 'c.

French, Wilsou, and Birch, threw a great damper on the betting; Mr. Birch wag not in more than two minutes ; Wright in seven; Wilson, one from whom great was ex- pected, somewhere about five minutes. At the conclusion of this innings the betting was in favor of the St. Georges, at least they had the call, and a considerable sum was ventured on the result,—in some instances odds were given a6 much as 8 to 1, butit was only backing opinion or edging the previous odds. Messrs. Turner and Symes went in first on be- half of the St. George’s Club for their second inn- ings, in good spirits, and well they maintained their characters us cricketers. Mr. Turner was in near upon an hour and a half, defying some of the best and most beautiful bewling of Wink- worth; him and Symes playing most cautiously, carefully, and ju pelosi 3 when near the end of 40 minutes, Symes was bowled out by Sharp. The wicket-keeping of Philpots was graiid—we don’t think it was ever surpassed. Mr. Turner’s batting wae most beautiful, and elicited great approbation. Winkworth’s bowling wasgreat to contend against --as dead as ever against the wicket and required great caution on the behalf of the batters, to op vose it with any success. Syme made some beautiful hits, and the only fine run made was trom his bat, amid great cheering. Mr. Tinson’s play promised to be good, although not so successtal as was anticipated; he had not been in but two or three minutes when he wes caught with leg before wicket. This was a stil! zreater damper to the St. George’s men. Mr. Wright was got out by a ball from his bat_ falling over and striking his wicket. Mr R. Tickner played very cautiously—never attempting a run un- iesa he was pretty well sure. Wild’s play was sbout equal to his former endeavors, making some- what more than his average. Mr. Dadson was vat out by a most capital catch of Mr. Wink- worth’s, who leaped upwards of four feet and caught hia ball as it proceeded from his bat.

This certainly made a eat difference in the score of the St. George’s ub, but had Mr. Wheatcroft been present, under a0 circumstances was it likely that he could have \ltered the result; he might or caused to have got some 14 or 16 more, which would have still Jett the losers some 9 or 10 deficient.

It will be reeollected that this splendid opera has not been performed in this city, since it was pro- duced at the old National, some eight or nine yearsago. It is ene of the most beautiful operas ever played, and will be very popular. The sub- scription books are, we believe, filling up very rapidly. This will be only a short extra season, the regular season cemmenciang in November, with two prima donnas, Berghese in opera buffa, and Picet in epera seria, probably with Valtellina, Antognini, Perozzi, and the ethers. Mr. Dempster, the vocalist, arrived yesterday in town, and will give concerts next week.

A very fair demand for foreign exchange is joipated for the steamer of the first proximo. It ia estimated that all of twothirds of the fereign importations inte this port are on foreign account, The numerous English, French aud German commission houses located in this city confirms thia estimate. ‘To this fact may be attributed the impossibility of controlling the imports or regulating their extent, Tho foreign trade of Boston, or that portion the merchants of that city carry on through this, is entirely ona different plan. The importers of Boston usually go to Europe, and in the largest markets pick out their sup- plies and extend their variety. The foreign commission houses of this city have very little to do with the de: scription of goods sent, or the quantity forwarded Ad- vauees on a large portion of those shipped are required, which amount with their duties to two-thirds their value. When shipments are made entirely upon the respencibili- ty of the manufacturers, and without advances from this side, payments are not usually made until sales are real- ized in this market. Many ef those commission houses sre, therefore, compeiledg to come into the market and purchase bills of exchange with their business paper.— The notes they receive on six, eight aud ten months oredit, they turn over to the bill drawer for bis bill on London. In these instances a higher rate is demanded, and good bills would range on an operation of this na ture from } to per cent higher. A demand ef this nature is anticipated for the next packet. The i ~portations have recently fallen off vary mush. Our Liverpool packets come in filled with the most ky portion of eur imports, such as eoa! crookery ware, salt, iron, &c. The most valuable part cf ‘is importfor this season has been received, and we my soon look for a farther decline in this trate. This fact ois amore fa vorable appearance on our foreign commercial effairs, and almost completely 4ij5 pates the « long enter- tained, that specie im lacge amouats must find ite way ncross the Atlantic.

The total re* seipts of this road are ahout ten por cent on the cost of construction, The expenditures for 1843, including in- erest on the debt,jamounted to $678,310, or $4,423 more than the total receipts.
