NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Tuesday, October 1 1944. Newe From Evrorx.—The steamship Caledo- nia, Captain Lott, is due in Boston to-day, She will bring fifteen days later news, which we may look for to-morrow morning. Increase of Political Excitement—Fearful Condition of the City at the Approaching Eleetion, We begin to fear that we shall have very fear- ful, perhaps bloody times at the approaching elec- tion, in this city at least. Probably throughout the country, beyond the reach of the demoralized population of the large cities, the people may go quietly to the polls and deposite their ballots with- out attacking and assaulting each other, and creating insurrection. But here, in a crowded po- pulation, the excitement increases so much, and the bad passions of the heart are developed so fearfully, that we have every thing to dread from the symptoms already beginning to manifest them- selves, not only in the party prints, but in every po- litical club house and political place of resort throughout the cit In order to make ourselves sufficiently under- stood, and to show that there is unhappily but too much foundation for our feats, wegive im thisday’s paper a series of very curious and remarkable ex- tracts from the leading papers of both parties yes- terday. In this series is comprised extracts from the Tribune, the Courier § Enquirer, the Express, and the Morning News. It will be seen from these extracts that the ill-blood engendered by the riot or row produced by the collision between two of the political clubs on last Thursday evening, at the close of the great Whig meeting at National Hail, has already produced such an excitement, that both parties are threatening to come forth in the public streets, on every occasion hereafter, fully armed with the most deadly weapons that they can think of. The Courier and Enquirer and the Axpress re- solutely assert that all their friends, meaning the members of the whig clubs, whenever they appear in the streets hereafter, will be armed with deadly weapons, and ready to defend themselves at any and every hazard of life, liberty, property, insur- rection, or any thing else. Such then is the state of things in this city, pro- duced by the acts of demagogues, working upon the dregs of a population, drawn from all parts of the world—organized as they are into bands or clubs—spirited on by men who are themselves too cowardly to appear in the first ranks—and supported by money collected, readily collected, from the respectable, orderly and upright citizens of both | parties! During the last few weeks we have seen these masses of the disorderly and floating population, organized into nearly a dozen clubs, under all sorts of uames, meet- ing in the immediate neighborhood of each other, singing, shouting, drinking, swearing, threatening, and using every species of provoca- tion in order to irritate each other, and produce a disturbance of the peace. Here are the ‘*Knick- erbockers” on one side, and the “Empires” on the other—the ‘‘White Eagles” game, and opposed to them, the “Unionists.” And of what materials are these organization composed ?_ Why, it is no- torious that the fighting men—the bullies—the “sporting men”—the “gentlemen of the fancy”— as they are called in their own slang, and who have, for the last four years been making their dis- graceful exhibitions in the neighborhood of this | city, are now engaged by both parties, hired | and paid by both parties, as the leaders and | managers of these political clubs. Thus has the | vile spirit of partizanship at length driven even the respectable and orderly members of this commu- nity, of both parties, into the hiring of professed bullies, producing a state of affairs which now threaten us wit) riot, bloodshed, conflagration, | and we know not what terrible disorders, in this great city of New York. ‘There is nothing at all imaginary in the alarm which has been thus ex- cited. We understand that during the last few days, the gunshops and hardware stores, where fire arms are to be found, have had a most extraor- | dinary increase of business—and that immense quantities of Colt’s revolving pistols, ammunition, bowie-knives, and arms of all descriptions, have been purchased by various characters throughout the city. Thus it will be seen that as we approach the day of election, and while it would appear that all other arguments are exhausted, the highly respec- table and intelligent men of both parties are ac- tually encouraging and appealing to physical force, by the organization of those frightful clubs, which are providing themselves with regular armories, determined te carry their point even to death it- self, and making the streets run with gore. Is it net time for the religious—moral—respectable, | orderly portions of the citizens of New York, of | all parties, to awake to a full perception of the impending danger—to take some measures to pre- serve the peace and quiet of the city in the ap- proaching election? Ina moment of alarm, ona sudden impulse, these excited clubs may com- mence an insurrection, the end of which no one can tell. With such clubs—with such excited teeling—with such party prints—we are, indeed, on the brink of a voleano, and when it may burst | upon us, who can tell? | P. 3.—Since the above was written we are in- formed that the leiter contained in the Courier and | Enquirer of yesterday, purporting to have been signed by **Wm. Ford,” is also a forgery, which | overbalances the account current, and places the | whigs one forgery ahead of their opponents. This is rather unfortunate for the Cowrier, as it spoils all the effect of the long editorial based upon the presumed validity of Ford’s letter. Prooress or Pourticat Fororrigs.—Since the detection of the “Roorback” forgery, which took place soon after its appearance in the ‘‘dlbany | Evening Journal,” a paper conducted by Thurlow Weed, we perceive that the party prints of both | sides are beginning to teem with forgeries and | frauds of all kinds and on all subjects, so as to in- fluence the public mind in favor of their reepective | candidates. First, there is a forged document or oath of al- legiance taken to King George JII, attributed to Ezekiei Polk, the grandfatherof Mr. Polk. Second, a forged statement or subcription in Kngland of money raised there to elect Henry Clay, because he is in favor of assumption of the State debts. Third, a forged letter signed Henry Clay, and ad- dressed to Cassixs M. Clay, whe is wandering in these parts to touch up the abolitionists. The first of these forgeries appeared firat in the whig papers—the two last in democratic prints. At present the two parties stand even in the forge- ry business—2 and 2. Who’s the next customer? ARGUMENTS ror THR PatRiot ann PoutTICIAN.— It is stated that the distilleries of New York and its faubowrgs, manufacture, Sundays excepted, 25,000 gallons of genuine whiskey per day. This must be a species of home manufacture that re- quires no further protection. At all events, as the whigs and locofocos have now nearly exhausted all other kind of arguments, here is a supply of a new species, that is very potent at the polls, and particularly at getting up processions, mass meet- ings, riets, fights and rows, and all such necessary elements in electing Presidents, and other public men to office ee New American Covsut, ron Livervoot.—We understand from Washington, tbat Mr. Adams, a private gentleman from Virginia—an old friend of the President, has been appointed to the vacant Consulship of Liverpool.

Our last accounts from Canada are of an un- usually interesting kind; society appears to be violently agitated, and fraught with symptoms of another dangerous crisis in the aflairs of that country. The newspapers are teeming with parti- zan views, violent abuse of their political opponents, and the rallying cry of their respective parties. On the miuisteria! side, bold and unhesitating charges of disloyalty, and an ultimate intention to bring about a separation from the mother country, are made against the opposition; the latter reply in terms of recrimination not less characterized by acerbity and determination. The following ex- tracts from the organ of the opposition in Mon- treal, The Pilot, express the position they conceive their party to take in the coming political con- test :— A meeting of the highest importance to the cause of constitutional restau Caneta was held last evening in the auction-room of J. D. Bernard, Esq. It was indeed an occasion of seep interest—a proceeding fraught, we ure satisfied, with advantage to the country at large and to ‘the reputation and happiness of our own community in pascal. We say it eugurs well for this city especially, r it is impossible to suppose,aiter such a demonstration, that anything like serious resistance can be oftered tothe liberal candidates. There was gathered the genuine material of a power- ful party, intelligence, patriotism, wealth and energy ; the statesman, the oratu, the man of property, owners of the soil, the merchant and mechanic, a! bond, having in view but one object, the establishment of freedom in Cai —the freedom of the British Constitu tion, the pur \d safest known to men. After the opening speech of the chairman, James Lesaslie, Esq., the meeting was ably addressed by the Honorable Mr. La. fontaine, Doctor Nelson, Honorable Mr. Morin, L. T. Drummond, Lal , Doctor B.aubien, G..E. Cartier, Esq., A. Jobin, Esq., J. Dewitt, Esq , and J. E. Mills, Esq, each of whom clearly showed the superiority of responsible government as enunciated by Lord Durham, practised by Sir Charles Bagot, and contended for by the late Ministry, to that which has been invented by Sir Charles Metcalie, and is being defended by his few and feeble followers. In another column will be found a report of the proceedings as furnished by the secretary of the meeting. The following is part of the declaration made by the assembly of electors alluded to in the fore- going article :— The und ined owe itto themselves, as well as to their fellow citizens, to declare publicly that it is with sentiments of profound sorrow and regret that they have seen the present administration, and journals under their atronage, endeavoring to cause the ministerial crisis (o looked upon asa question in which the connexion of the province with the mother country, or its tion therefrom, depends ; thus, without any reason w! ver, throwing doubts un the loyalty attachment of the people, and their ex-representatives, towards the imperial government. The inhabitants of the country claim the Tight of approving or disproving of every administration that the Governor, in exercise of the prere may deem it expedient to form, according as such adm! istration shall or shall not possess their confidence.— There is nothing in this conduct of theirs which cun jus- tify any one in casting doubt upon their loyalty and at- tachment to the mother country, and itis not by having recourse to such unfounded imputations that an adminis- tration can succeed in gaining their confidence. With reference tothe coming election in the city of Montreal, which was on a late occasion at- tended with disastrous consequences, all parties agree in investing it with a degree of consequence and weight which call forth all the solicitude of both parties. ‘The coming election is, in- deed, regarded, and justly so, as of vast moment. It willdecide the vexed question of responsible government, between what are called the tories and the liberals; and if that decision be against the ultra-British, or accord:ng tothe liberals, the anti- British party, headed by the governor, a crisis will inevitably ensue, without a parallel even in the chequered history of Canada. The organ of the Governor is very violent against the other party, and asserts that ‘the ministerial crisis can be viewed in no other light, than as a question in which the connection of the province with the mother country, or its separation therefrom, de- pends.” In the same paper, the Montreal Herald, there is a column devoted to the Montreal and Boston Railroad, a work which, although but lately pro- jected, has become vastly popular, and which is progressing with decided activity. Some of the Boston merchants have taken shares tothe amount of twenty thousand dollars each, and the Cana- dians calculate upon its acting most favorably on ‘There are some again, and men of discernment too, who perceive in this great line of communication an instrament that will, at some future and not distant day, be made subser- vient to other than commercial ends. Those who | thus regard it are of course of that class who, rea- soning upon the ultimate destiny of Canada, attach great weight to the influence of the Uni- ted States, upon her institutions, her manners, and modes of thinking—to the contiguity of the two countries, as tending to a contant assimilation between them; therefore they regard this exten- sive route of inter-communication as an agent that will accelerate the affiliation of Canada and the United States, and proportionably lessen the ties which bind that colony to Great Britain. Custom Hous Removas ann APPoINnTMENTS.— We understand that yesterday a general sweep was made in the Custom House, of all the remaining whigs in office. About thirty officers, comprising the rump of the party putin by Mr. Curtis, were removed, leaving, however, Mr. M. L. Davis, as a memorial of past times, when democracy meant something. Thirty democrats, with Henry E. Riell, at their head, were appointed to the vacan- cies, and are now living in clover, and will be un- til Mr. Clay be elected, if such an event should ever take place. In order, however, to keep the Custom House pure and healthy, in consequence of this new in- fusion, the Collector has found it necessary to issue the following circular:— Custom House, New Yorx, Collector’s O.tice, Oct. Ist, 1844. } Having received information through the newspapers and in other w: that several officers of this department e lately attended political meetings in the State of New Jersey and at other places out of this State, and fpibiny | also heard of complaints against some of the of- ficere for taking part for or st certain candidates for elective offices in this city, I deem it proper publicly to bs a= my views in regard to the subject. consider that no citizen is to be disfranchised by taking office under the pete but that he retains the right of taking part in elections and public meetings, within the town, city or cou of his residence, an when not interfering with due attention to Sis official duties. But I do view it to be wholly improper for officers of this department to go abroad for the purpose of attending litical meetings, or for the promotion of any party ob- jects, first, because it is not necessary to a just exerc! their essential political rights—secondly, because it can rarely be done without a neglect of official duty, and thirdly, beoause it is calculated to create prejudices against the Custom House Department, and against the government itself, and thus to lessen the influence of both | in regard to those duties which are to be performed for the good of the whole public, without reference to party. C. B. VAN NESS. This is very good—but these democrats must be watched, or they will transgress the limits. Can you bind the “fierce democracie” by circulars? Can you bottle up the malaria? Not exactly. Faswronante Derartores —The Hon. Daniel Webster left the Astor House yesterday for Phila- delphia, to be present at the monster whig meeting held there this afternoon. A report of his speech in to-morrow’s Herald. His Honor, James Harper, first Native Mayor of New York, (and probably the last,) accompanied Mr. Webster to Philadelphia, to see how things geton there. His Honor will probably tell some choice anecdotes before he comes back. The Hon. Cassius Marcellus Clay, abolition missionury from Kentucky, leit town yesterday for Albany, on his way to Rochester to make a speech. He intends to speak at different corners and cross roads in New Yerk, and to persuade the abolition- ists to drop Birney. He carries all before him. Arrivats at THE Principat, Horeis.—Hon. R.

The county of Passaic appeared to have thrown the larger part of its population ifto the assem- blage, as one single procession from four neighbor- ing towns sent two hundred and ninety-seven wa- gon loads of Democratic men, women and chil dren, who bore banners and emblems of every kind and description. The most of the manufacturers closed their shops and factories when the whig meet- ing was held at that place last week, to allow the workmen to attend, but refused the same privilege yomsrday. The meeting was most eloquently ad- dressed by Edward R. V. Wright, Esq of Jersey city, who 18 one of the most popular political ora- tors of the State. Tadge. Narr, of New Jersey, au Daniel E. Sickles. of this city, also addressed the immense assemblage in a most spirited manner. Jersey 18 all on fire for Tuesday and Wednesday next. Nominations For Assemzuty.—The ‘‘Natives” have nominated the following persons as candi- dates for the Assembly :—Abraham G. Thompson, Second Ward; Harvey Hunt, of 6:h; T. 8. Simp- son, of 7th; R. N. Morrison, of 8th; E. C. Blake, of 10:h; John Culver, of 1h; Jacob L. Fenn, of 13th; Wim. S. Ross, of 14th; John J. R. Depuy, of 15th; Thomas H. Oukley, of 17th; D, E. Wheeler, of 9:h; A. A. Alvord, of 12th, and Joseph Hutty, | of the 4th declined serving, and other candidates will be nominated in their stead. Common Councin.—The proceedings last even- ing were interesting. Two plans of police were presented ; one by Alderman Gale, that hasneither practicability nor ordinary common sense 1n its details, and another by Alderman Schieffelin, a little better, but not much, altfiough it may answer, with numerous amendments. The Union Square was selected as the site of the Washington*Monu- ment, and Justice Drinker aud Clerk Dickinson were transferred from the Lower Police Office to an cffice to be established at Harlem, where they will have nothing to do except to be always on hand, and receive their salary as usual on quarter day. A more ridiculous movemeat than this has rarely been made by any portion of our city govern- ment. There is about as much necessity for a police magistrate at Harlem as there would be for one on Gibbet Island, opposite the Battery. {n the Board of Assistants an ordinance was adopted changing nearly all the places of holding the polls, which will be acted upon by the Board ot Alderman on Wednesday evening. Mr. H. Paruxirs' Tarp Concert.—Last night Mr. Phillips appeared again before, and charmed a large audience. The prograinme contained a judicious selection of Songs and Ballads—amongst the rest, a few pieces the very mention of which falls with melody on the ear. Mr. Phillips’ mode of singing “‘the Meeting of the Waters,” is wor- thy of the conception of the poet who wrote those fundying lines; and we verily believe no other vo- calist can sing as Phillips sings “the light of other days.” When Mr. Phillips had finished the last song but one, he addressed the audience in his own pleasing way, in nearly the few words which follow :— “ Ladies and Gentlemen—Previous to the introduc- tion of my last song permit me-to present to you my very sincere thanks for the kind reception you have given me, and for the attention with which you have listened to my singing. In the course ot a lew months I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you again, when it is my purpose to introduce some sacred performances; amonggt the rest some of Handel and Haydn’s pieces. I cannot depart, however, without renewing my thanks to you all, but especially to the gentlemen of the press, whose treatment and kindness towards me, has, without exception, exceeded what { ever met with in any country in which I have travelled.” At the conclusion of this short address, a loud and long peal of applause greeted Mr. Phillips, who retired apparently much pleased with the warm and hearty reception he had met, especially on that occasion, and of which he spoke so handsomely in his own telicitous way. Mustc anp OreRa.—Last evening” was great in the way of music and opera among the élite and persons of taste of both sexes. First there was the opening of Palmo’s Opera House for the fall sea- son. On this occasion we had “Lucia di Lam- mermoor,” with Borghese, Valtelini, Antognini, and the rest of the old trouye. It was most fash- ionably and brilliantly attended. The vocalists were generally in good voice and spiri's. Many of the beautiful faces, in elegant costumé, that gtaced this bijow on former occasions were present. Borghese was received with great applause—and the acting and singing of Antognini were excel- lent. At the Park Theatre the new opera, called the “Enchanted Horse,” music by Mr. Jones, was brought out, and was decidedly successful, although a new opera, on its first night, must be seen and heard under many disadvantages. Madame Otto sung most superbly, and was very well supported by Mr. Jones. We have no time for extended re- marks to-day, but a very fashionable and elegant house seemed to appreciate the entertainment very much. Madame Otto exhibited great powers of voice, governed with much taste and skill. It must have a run. The concert of Mr. Phillips was, also, well at- tended, at the Society Library, and his great ta- lents in his art are beginning to be properly appre- ciated. Socrety Lisrary.—It is strange that members of such an institution as this should be found with their muddy boots stuck up in chairs and on the tables ; yet we have seen such an exhibition in the beautifully fitted up reading room of this valuable library. We hope the trustees will reform this nuisance. Theatricals, &. Mr. Macready has just left this city for Boston, where he plays for the last time in this country. It is said that he has been very fortunate while sojourning amongst us, having cleared some 50,000 or 60,000 dollars His last 5 ech at the Park Theatre, inthis city, has caused considerable com- ment. Mr. Anderson has proceeded southward ona starring tour. 4 . Mr. Crisp, who recently arrived in this country from England, makes his first appearance at the Park Theatre, this evening, as Jeremy Diddler in the farce of “Raising the Wind Mr. Dempster will renew his Concerts here this week. He is a five singer, and witheut a rival in his Scotch songs, and one of the greatest favorites among our vocaliets. Mr. Booth is playing at Pittsburg. Forrest and Miss Clifton have been playing to ood houses at Providence, R. 1 They took their jarewell of the Providentials on Friday night. Pistot Snootinc.—Our readers will perceive in our advertising columns a notice from Mr.Carman, informing his friends and the public, that he has opened a Shooting Gallery, in the newly erected building, corner of Lispenard and Broadway. The accommodations for amateurs of pistol shooting are unique and tasteful, and, without question, su- perior to any in the city. Mr, Carman is too well, and too favorably known to those who have fre- quented his galleries at the Abbey and Burnham’s during the past summer, to need any praise trom us. ‘are in providing for the comforts of his Visitol roverbial ; and we are sure that those who visit his new gallery will be well satisfied. Personal Movements, Arromntuents ny tHe Postmaster GeneRaL.—How- ard Kennedy, Esq , the Special Agent for the P. O. De- partment has resigned his office, and Mr. Cash the nephew of Mr. Wickliffe, has been appointed » Mr. A. W. Griswold has ow jed Mr. on the route between PI Hon.

To those who have often witnessed this de- scription of eport in the old country, the proceed- ings of yesterday would afford them considerable amusement ; those who have never seen anything of the kind, must have been astonished, and re- ceive from the display a degree of information that volumescould not convey. And when itis borne in mind that each hurdle in the old country is somewhat more than a foot higher than those on the Beacon, and so strongly planted as almost to defy the possibility of breaking them down, it may be easily understood how much more the danger to both rider and horse than there was on the pres ent occasion ; though in this case sufficiently so to make the sport anything but comfortable to those more immediately concerned. . The weather on the occasion was everything that could be wished ; the ground after the previous rain in capital order; the attendance numerous, and on the whole highly respectable; there were not fewer than 3000 persons present. The hurdles were fourfeet high, intertwined with fern bushes, which made them appear somewhat high- er. The first one to be made was within about 12 or 15 feet, next the distance chair, of the judges» stand; the second was a little below the quarter post; the third just before the halt mile post; the fourth near the three-quarter post, at the top of the straight side home. The conditions of the race were—Purse of $500, given by spe proenetnes of the course. One and a quarter mile heats, four hurdles in each heat, of four teet in height, rider’s weight 160 Ibs.; for which there were entered the four following horses :— Alfred Conover, of Long Ieland, dress blue jacket, and reen H. Woodruft F A. A. Dixon, off[New York, dress purple jacket, black cap—M. Dixen. A. Richards, of Toronto, Canada, dress red jacket, red cap.—Mr. Richards. Charles Hirst, of Long Island, white jacket and cap with dark stripe—J. Gallaher. The animals brought forward for the occasion certainly appeared in first rate trim, and calculated to perform all that was required of them, in excel- lent style. Mr. Conover’s bay horse was said to be four years old, of good build and strength, one that in the old country, of whom hunters would say he would not shy at a five barred gate. Mr. Dixon’s Blunder wasa bright sorrel, of beautiful frame and figure, much lighter and smaller than any of the others. Mr. Richards’ Hops was a chesnut, aged, and evidently knew. what a stout fence was, an would not shy at a six feet stone wall. It wassaid on the ground that he was one of the first hunters in Canada, and he had every appearance of being such. Mr. Hirst’s chesnut horse Harkaway, aged, was about the same size and form as the former, but evidently had not received the same training; consequently was net so well calculated tor the work set beforehim. __ ‘ Previous to the running, there was very little done in the betting way, only a few nibbles were to be had. Most of the parties present appeared not to know or understand what was going forward The hurdles were examined over and over again ; some contended that the horses had to break their way through them; others that they had to gu over without touching them; another party that they were to get over or through them the best way they opal while a fourth contended that the evidence of the best horse was that which threw down the most hurdles and cleared the ground. Notwithstanding all this speculation, there appear- ed to be an impression among those who knew something of the matter, that the Toronto horse, Hops, was to win, and he was backed against any other, the field being the favorite ; and as the time approached for starting, a few bets were made at 25to 20'upon him. The others were scarcely mentioned. Some tittle delay took place in conse- uence of the difficulty prevailing in getting gen- tlemen to preside who understood the sport, and at length two gentlemen from Canada, and another of this city, consented. . Shortly after four o’clock, the riders hay- ing been weighed, preparations were made for the start, which took place at the quarter mile post above the judges’ stand. Mr. Galla- her reached the first hurdle in advance of the others, Richards about a length or two behind, closely followed by Hiram Woodruff; the latter, in attempting to clear the hurdle, knocked it down in the face of Dixon’s horse, which made him swerve and throw his rider upon the pummel of his saddle, but he soon recovered, and Disowned showed that his paces were the best of the lot, and got up to them ere he reachea the second hurdle. They kept in this position to the third hurdle, where another magnificent leap was made by Mr. Dixon in tront, followed by Richards rather more than a length behind The fourth hurdle was reached first by Richards, followed closely by Dix- on, and both took it beautifully, when Dixon’s horse stumbled, and threw him, but as quick as‘light- ning he was in saddle again, but on descending the straight course, Richards crossed first on one side, then on the other, running Disowned close on the rails, leaving Dixon not a foot between her and the post. Dixon eventually got clear, and led home in advance in something more than a common canter. In the second heat, Mr. Dixon lead to the first hurdle, and cleared off in good style, his horse making a clear leap of 31 feet over the hurdle, and, to all appearances, the spring at least six feet high with Mr. Richards about a length behind him, an Gallaher some five or six lengths behind, who, in endeavoring to clear the first hurdle, upset it, and got away, which made the matter somewhat easier jor Hiram Woodruff. They kept somewhat in this order to the second hurdle, where they ap- peared all well up together, which the two first cleared in fine style, but the others did not appear to take the matter so easy, except Gallaher, who was thrown, and did not recover in time to save himself, but the other did take it after a little per- suasion on the part of the riders. They were all well up together from thence to the third hurdle, where Dixon pushed in front, and cleared it most beautifully, with Richards close on his quarter, followed by Woodruff, as closely waited on by Gallaher, but Hiram, 1n his endeavors te get clear, his horse Speiee his leg in the hurdle, and both were thrown, Hiram making a clean summerset over his horse, and afterwards most excellently turning himself over to get out of the horse’s way. This threw Woodrufl’s chance out, as, be- fore he could remount and proceed, the others had reached home, Mr. Dixon first, about a length be- fore Mr Richards, Gallaher some dozen er twenty lengths behind them. Shortly afterwards, Hiram rode up in as cp spirits, apparently, as ever, and his friends finding he_ was not seriously hurt, re- ceived him with considerable cheering. Mr. Dixon appeared either to have been hurt, or his exertions to have unnerved him, for he trembled violently and appeared ready to faint on reaching the judges’ stand. It was then discovered that this gentleman was severely hurt by having been thrown on the pummel of his saddle, as before mentioned. Not- withstanding this, the gentleman made his appear- ance for the second heat, although evidently not in a proper condition for riding. ; 1 At the conclusion of the second heat, it was with some difficulty that Mr. Dixon could dismount when called on so to do by the judges, he 80 disabled; and one of the gentlemen who presided had to assist him in so doing, and he shortly after- ards fainted, and was carried into the judge’ stand, where the nature ef his hurt was as tained, remedies applied for his recovery, and in a wl time afterwards he was enapled to leave the stand. Some dispute then ensued as to the riding, Mr. Dixon protesting against the fairness of Richard’s riding 1n crossing him in coming in ; and Mr. Gal- laher protested against Mr. Dixon in not being weighty, and suffering some person to assist him in dismounting, whereby he claimed that he should be distanced ; while the judges refused to enter- tain Mr. Gallaher’s protest or to weigh him in con- sequence of having dismounted and unharness- ed his horse without any direction from the judges. The arguing of these points consumed some time, but at length the judges placed the horses as betore mentioned. i Ere they were ready to start for the third heat, the shades of evening were pretty darkly sprea around, so that it was almost impossible to see above forty or fifty yardsfrom the stand. Mr. Dix- on was found unable to ride and Mr. Gallaher was allowed to ride for him. The word was given and Richards led to the judges’ stand some 30 lengthsin advance, and cleared the first hurdle beautifully as he did the second, but going round the bottom Dis owned gained on Hops some dozen lengths or more, but in attempting the second hurdle he shied at it, and it was not until after some time could Gallaher persuade his horse to take it; in the meanwhile Richards had cleared his fourth hurdle and came home the winner. It was thought by many that the case would have been very different had Mr. Dixon not met with the accident before alluded to at the com mencement of the sport. This gentleman is a ve- terinary surgeon, lately from! tngland, well ac- quainted with every description of running horses and has had under his care some of the first horser in the States, to the owners of which he has given every satisfaction. There was a general desire ex pressed, from his excellent riding, and tact display ed by those present for his success. The animal) he rode was only nine days from pasture, and had only been in training during the latter period, never before having been tried at leaping. The time took in running the different heats were from about peal be minut "the falowing is the summary of the race:— , but no exact time was kept Mr. Richards’ horse, Hops, (Richards, 211 Mr Dixon’s horse, Disowned, - - 122 Mr. Hirst’s horse, Hurkaway 3 dist.

There were between 3000 and 4000 persons present on the occasion, and if the proceedings did not come up to their expectatious as a piece of sport, it appeared to aflord them a deal of amusement. Errscts oy tuk Gate.—The Equinox of Sun- day was the severest we have experienced for years. We annex a few additional particulars and presume that we shall have many more disasters to mention. It is stated that when the wind shifted, seven pilot boats lay at anchor in the Horse Shoe, Sandy Hook. The N. W, ‘wind being on the shore,’ the Hackataif and’ the Waterbury succeeded in gets under way, and the Hackett came up late in the afernocn--the only vessel from the Hook that day. The pilots informed us that they saw nothing of the Waterbury after she got under way—that she either went ashore or put to sea. They also report that the other five boats must have dragged their anchors on shore and been lost. They saw a herm. brig at anchor in the bey. bound out. The Haecksteff received much damage from her anchor, which nearly chafed through her for three teet— not being able to get it on deck. ‘hs raph reports a pilot boat ashore at the point of the Hook, and others are ashore on the Horse Shoe. The brig Only Son, at Quarantine, dragged her anchor near the Quarantine wharf, where she rode out the gale. The barque Calisto, from Cal reported below on Sa- turday beatin 2 did not get in, must have driven far to leeward during the it and day. The steamboat Cleopatre, Capt. Dustan, which arrived yesterday morning frem New London, experienced a bad night in the Sound, and came very near going on shore. She arrived safely, however, within two or three hours after her regular time, with inconsiderable damage by the beating in of dead lights, &c. The Worcester, Capt. Van- derbilt, which left here for Norwich at 5 o’clock, was seen by the Cleopatra off Falkland Island, and probably got safely into the Thames. The steam propeller Trumbull left te New London at 4 o’clock, and was obliged to come to anchor off Hart Island. On the Battery sever. trees were blown down. One of them was the noble old willow, the largest tree on the ground, which 1s snapped off near the root. In the Bow! Green a large tree has also fatlen, and slightly dam. the structure in the middle of the fount: To the Park, a tree near the north east end of the City Hall is uprooted, and a large willow in front of the building occupied as the United States Court Room, has ope of Its main branches twisted off. 2 At Washington Square one of the e willows on the walk outside of the park is broken off at the ground, where the stump is more than two feet in diameter. A tree in Pearl street, between Rose and William streets, ca een down and lodged against the buildings op- e. PeNearly all the awnings which were left out on Satur- day night were carried away, and in some instances the awning posts with them. Some chimneys also were blown over. Capt. Sherwood, of the iy depend arrived yesterday from rsa she states ee a experlened neue re the in 18 88 ‘esterday at noon he ©! cai eak e,, thd sailed along the beach with a fine breeze from the W. 8. W. He saw no vessels ashore. Thetide in Harlem river wos very high. The waves made aclear breach over the old Harlem bridge, and the embankment of the Harlem Railroad, for a distance South from the bridge, was badly undermined. At Brooklyn some vessels \parted their fasts, but sus- tained no ‘ser 3 damage. The Mexican steamer Monte- zuma, lying off the Navy Yard, dragged her anchor, but brought up without injury. There was but little damage done to the shipping in Quarantine by the gale. Several of the vessels there dragged their anchors, but were brought up before they reached the beach. [From the Philadelphia Times of September 30} We were visited on Saturday night with the severest storm we have experienced fora twelvemonth. About one o’clock the wind blew a perfect hurricane from the northeast. A great deal of damage was done to awnings, awning posts and trees. Two of the finest willows in Washington Square were blown down. Horrtsix.— We learn, says the Pottsville Mi- ners’ Journal, that the body of a young man, a na- tive of Germany, was found in the bushes near the Canal at Port Clinton, on Tuesday last, in astute of nudity, tially eaten by the hogs. His clothes.a blue frock coat, jinen pants, and a vest Jay at his side He arrived at Port Clinton on a lime few days before, and being with out means to indulge his propensity for drink, it is sup- that he was attacked with a fit, and died where he was found. The remnant of his remains were gathered in a box, and buried at the spot where they were found. Lap Mings.—We are informed by H. H. Hol- on, Esq., from Sandy Mines, that great induce- meuts arv held out there to 200 additional miners; that the miners there have been m ‘king great wages duri last two years; that one furnuce is steatily worked and they are building another, and that the works will proba- bly be the most extensive in the Union. Baptisine a Curip To Deatu —Near Richmond, Va, on Sunday week, a little child was missed by its family, aud a long search made, which resulted in finding the lost one in the handsof two boys at a pond of very dirty water, out upon the commons. The boys had been baptising the little creature in the pond, and when discovered the child so nearly exhansted, that one more immersion would have proved fatal. Amusements.

The Stock Market was very firm today. Atthe Old Board, Canton, Mohawk, Stonington, United States Bank closed firm at Saturday’s prices. Long Island fell off 4; Harlem improved 3; Norwich and Worcester, 1; Far- mers’ Trust, 3; Reading Railroad, }. The sales were to a very fair extent, and the feelingin the street much bet- ter than we have noticed for sometime past. The Domestic trade of the country has become re-esta- blished principally upon an exchange of products, instead of an exchange of bank bills. Balances between diffe- rent rections of the country are regulated more by an ex- change of merchandise than ever before, and this does away in a great measure with bills of exchange. The brokerage business of this city has become very much reduced from this cause, and the operations between the principal points are so limited, that a few houses transact nearly all the business.

The market closes with a very fair demand for sterling exchange, The closing rates range as high aa at any time through the season, and there is at present a probability that the rates will go still higher, witheut causing a very active demand for specie,or very heavy ship- ments. A very heavy amount of Canadian bills have been sold inthis market lately at 9} to speculators, who have jobbed them out at 9j. If the importers and others should be ri quired to remit freely for the packet of 16th October, there is nothing to prevent the rate on London reaching 10}, or gold from being shipped There is now a great difficulty experienced in obtaining Mexi- can dollars, all the Canadian Banks having been drained for Europe as well as the U. States, A very heavy demand for sterling bills is anticipated from the agents of European manufacturers in this city. This demand will probably be for time sales, payments to be made in the business paper of our jobbing and auction houses. There is so large a proportion of our import trade carried on by these foreign commission houses, that they are com- pelled to use their business paper to make remittances as soon aa their owners on the other side require. A demand of this nature will advance the rates for bills, and may compel bill drawers to make remittances in specie to sus- tain their credit on the ether side, The principal object expected te be gained by these movements is, to carry forward into another year the indebtednesss of this — The dangers attending a movement ot this neture are very great, and should be avoided, if possible. It undoubt edly appears to many to be the only feasible method to arrest the ruin that many were fast reaching; but suffi cient for the day is the evil thereof, and by putting off for to-morrow the difficulties that should be met to-day, the accumulation may produce evils too heavy to withstand, and the result tenfold more ruinous than if each com- mercial year was left to regulate itself, Quverations or Fonvian KE: RSRS | FaBSSsa
