NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Monday, October 14, 1844. ‘The Elections in Georgia and Ohio—Singu- lar Position of Things—Panic In the Demo- cratic Party. Every day--atmost.every pour, adds to the in- terest of the pending election for the Presidency. Yesterday we received various returns from the States of Georgia and Ohio, which we give in our columns to-day, and which indicate, ia the tos! un- questionable manner, the doubt and uncertainty at tending the issue of the present contest. We have just got through the. excitement produced by the close contest in New, Jersey, and the unexam- pled issue of the election in Philadelphia, in which the democrats came very near being defeated by the local coalition of “ nativism” and the whigs, and we are now presented with the extraordinary spectacle of an extremely close issue both in Georgia and Ohio. It is probable, according to all appearances, that the whigs have carried Geor- gia by a small majority, although we wouldn’t ven- ture to swear to that even, without further returns; and it is just as possible that Ohio has also gone for the whigs by an equally small majority, But what readers this contest so peculiarly exciting and interesting, is its extreme closeness—the great doubt which overhangs it—the immense vote which is coming out—and the small events and local cireamstances which may determine whether Mr. Clay or Mr. Polk shall be elected to the Presi dency. The aggregate results of the recent elections, and the singular development of the influence of new movements, such as aolitionism and “ nativ- ism,” on the settlement of the final result, have astonished every body. So far as we can asceriain public opiaion, and we are placed ina very good postion todo so with accuracy, the hopes and spirits of the whigs have been very much elated during the last few days, whilst the democrats and friends of Mr. Pojk have been inspired with an equal degree of despondency and alarm. As an evidence of this panic in the democratic ranks at the present position of affuirs, we give the follow- ing extraordiaary arucle which we fiad in the Al. buny Argus—the organ of the democratic party in the interior of this State—of last Saturday : Tre Exection in Pewxsyivasta—Tue Union or Waics avp Natives —The returas irom Pennsylvania have un- doubtedly surprised the democrats in all sections of the Union. ‘The majority of 6.900 in Philadelphia city and county, for Markle, was far more than was anticipated Yet, if the cause which brought about this reault is fully understood, we confidently believe that it will turn out to the whig party a triumph they will deeply regret. The sagacions will see that it can be made a mighty lever to array egainst them, in November, \housands and tens of thousands of votes, which otherwise would have been cast for the whig candidates. It is now @ well-known fact, that the whigs of Philadel- phia entered into a coalition with the natives—(some while called “church-burners”) whereby they agreed to vote tor Markle, if the whigs would vote for their con- gressional and county ticket. This is the fact, in spite of al! the garbled perversions of the whig editors, who have the sagacity to see that this victory in Philadelphia wey ruin tne canse of Henry Clay, even in Ohio and Maryland. Democrats, be up, then, and doing. Speed the intelli- gence of the coalition of the whig party ond the natives through town and county, village and hamlet, trom Maine to Louisiana. 50 000 sons of Ireland in Ohio. Announce to them the result in Philadelphia, Place the simple facts b-fore therm, and they will go en masse for the democratic can- idates. Democrats of Maryland, go among your Catholic popu- lation, who compose the majority in your State. Tell the facts, aud they can never unite with 1 party the mob which desecrated their ‘4 # in Philadelphia, Democrats of Indiana, go among the Swiss and Ger- maus, and the Irish of your State. Speed the news of the coalition, and Indiana will go against Henry Clay. Democrats of the Ei State, the great duty rests upon you. V venty thousand voters within our limits, who have become adopted citizens, as faithful to our country as any within its borders. Among them speed the result in Philadelphia, and they can never ally themselves with a party so proscriptive and illiberal. So far from regarding the result in Philadelphia with despondency, we hail it as a dispensation, if properly useil, for the overthrow of the whig party in Ohio, (no matter how the October election may go,) Indiana, Maryland and New York. But todo this, there is work before us. It requires energy, organization, and a de- votion of time, not in violent speeches, nor in huge mass coaventions, but in calm, unimpassioned rtate- ments to the millions of adopted citizens of our land. ‘Their true friends will now be known. All disguise is theome ff The coalition between the whig party and the nati same coalition is now periecting in the city of New York. We have a few weeks before us, in which this work can be performed. It can be done, and it may produce an overwheiming re-action upon the whig party, even in auch States as Maryland and. Ohio, which have hereto- fore been considered certain for Henry Clay. Other democratic papers speak in the same way in the present position of affairs, thereby ehowing that the principal organs of the democratic party are beginning now to understand the extreme dan- ger of their position, arising from the prospect of & union between the whigs and * natives” in this city, and of the abolitionists and whigs in the in- terior of the State, thereby securing the State, “and, cousequently, the election of Mr. Clay to ghe Presidency. Hear, for instance, what the Albany ity or New Yous.—The result in Pennsylvania and Ohio, which will nearly balance each other ; the iormer giving 26 electoral votes, the latter 23, has thrown the responsibility of the great national con- test upon this State It is a position of pride as well as responsibility. It is one that we would seek rather than avoid We have brought to the contest strong names, capable and worthy ot auch acrisis We have for sur State issue, an impregnable system of policy. which our opponents hardly dare openly to attack. The great nn- luonal issues we are ready to meet.with the same ty. The bank, the tariff, the distribution scheme, and all the other federat measures of consolidation and concentra- tion, will be brought up before us for final jadgment. Of the determination of such questions, before a tribunal so 1onest and iatelligent as the electoral body of this State, here can benodoubt. But we must hold our opponents to the discussion of the issues, and not permit thein to er cape behind collateral aod trifling questions Discussion, org nization, Vigilance, are all that is wanted, and with these our success ix sure The responsibility of aiding in discussion, of assisting in organization, of vigilance, watch{ulness, exertion, rests upon every member of the lemocratic party, and he must be made to feel it. Here is the whole duty of the democratic committees, associa. tions, and of the press, and upon all these rests the whole responsibility of the result. The extraordinary call made by the Albany Ar- gus for the naturalized citizens throughout the country to rally in the support of the Demecracy, only indicates the extreme alarm which pervades the sagacious men who conduct the democratic movements in the capital of this State. General- ly speaking, the naturalized citizers of this country have uniformly supported the democratic party, but the character of the returns now daily coming in from all parts of the country, shows clearly enough that the “responsibility” does, indeed, rest herein New York. As was very properly remark- ed by Mr. Webster, on the steps of the Astor House, the “imperial city” will determine the State, and the State of New York will decide the geceral issue. No doubt the full vote of the Union, smountiog to over three millions, will be brought out at thiselection, but yet it is very remarkable to observe that the two parties are nearly equally balaaced throughout the country. This discovers most clearly the inflaence which may be exerted by a single local influence. A paltry sectional movement, or feeling, which in other circumstan- ces would,be altogether unheeded, may thus in the present extraordinary state of affairs, decide the great question of the Presidential election. ‘Thus it will be seen that all disputations and con- troversies, and appeals, and declamation about the tariff, and Texas, and a national bank and distribu. tion, and all the other hackneyed questions of the political arena, are entirely stript of influence. Here- after they can have no interest or bearing. They are o be regarded as now entirely out of the question. In the same way and for the same reasons, all the machinery and absurdity of mass meetings—of hickory poles and ash-poles—of cocks and coons— { singing and revelry—of clubs and associations— will amount to nothing, and will not determine the result at all. The coalition between the ‘‘natives” iad the whigs in Philadelphia city and county, has almost swept the State of Pennsylvania from the democratic grasp. A similar coalition in the city of New York, may produce a still more decisive result—and we do not know what is going to stop a“ ‘Thua stands the question, therefore, at this mo- ment, We conceive that the whole issue hinges \ the movements in the city of New York during > wext fortnight, because we conceive that the Sn oe Go among the 100 000 Germans, and the | is already complete in Pennsylvania, and the | State of New York will be determined by the re- sult in the city, and that the State will decide the general question. We shall, therefore, attentively watch the movements here, and communicate them to our readers throughout the Union, so that they may know how the contest is tending. At this moment the chances of Mr. Clay are rising every day. The panic spreads in the demoeratic ranks. That panic will only be increased by the appeal of the Argus,which we have laid before our readers. Indeed we are astonished at the indiscretion and want of tact betrayed by the publication of such an appealatsucha moment. The usual sagacity of the Argus appears to have deserted it in the present try- ingemergency. We know, indeed, that ina time of exireme peril, when danger presentsits threatening aspect, the stoutest heart and the soundest head may fora moment be shaken. The Argus sees the danger and cannot conceal itsalarm. Hence this appeal. But it is an unwise appeal. Itcanonly deharm. Jt can only hasten the catastrophe which itseeks to avert. It was this very business of ap- pealing to the sectarian, the national, the local prejudices of particular classes of the community, which created the “native” party. And now the Argus, in a last mad endeavor to retrieve the for- tunes of the democratic party, comes out and makes an open and undisguised appeal to the Irish, the Swiss and the Germans—calling on them by ali their national prejudices, by all their sectarian feelings, by all their hatred of the “ church-burn- ers” to come up to the support of Mr. Polk. What possible effect can this have but to consummate the dreaded union of the whigs and “ natives?’ — truly, truly, the plot thickens. Great Native Movement, IN Park Puace, Tus Evunina.—The second great Native mass meeting of the lower Congressional District, takes place this evening, in Park Place, with an immense dazzling Drummond Light on one side, and the beautiful Park Fountain, gushing up eighty feet, on the other. This is a new locality for a mass meet- ing ; but this is a new party, and the selection efa new place of meeting gives novelty to their move- ments. No doubt, this will be an immense meeting, and the probability is, that a significant movement will be made towards the consummation of the umon between the ‘natives’? and the whigs. Mr. Phenix, Mr. Hiram Ketchum, Mr. Fish, and the other whig candidates, may, we think, at once prepare to be abandoned, without the slightest cere- mony. At the last Spring election the whigs and natives had a majority of nine thousand over the democrats, Jf they unite again they can have the same result, and decide the election in favor of Mr. Clay. We shall give a full report of the doings at this meeting, and the sentiments of the natives. If the whigs support the native ticket, they must also sup- port the “native” principles. It is proper, there- fore, that they should all know what these prin- ciples are. And yet we’re not so sure of that. If the whigs get the “native” votes, they will readily enough adopt their principles without the trouble ot an very rigid investigation. i Tue Brstx.—This holy volume—the consola- tion of all who put their trust in Heaven, and the only sure guide to morality, and peace, and happi- ness here and hereafter—promises, singularly enough, to be a very prominent element in af- proaching political events. By areport made by Dr. Reese, we learn that the Bible has been ejected from thirty-three of the Public Schools during the past four weeks. We doubt this. At all events the statement is so strange that we must have further evidence before we believe it. However, if the Bible is ejected from the schools by any mistaken sentiment, there is every probability that it is going to be adopted asthe banner of one of the political parties in the field. Wemean the “Natives” They profess, while they are uttering sometimes not the most tolerant or Christian sentiments, to be actuated by a most devoted attachment to the Bible—to be guided by the Bible—te care for nothing but the Bible—to be ready to die for the Bible. Well, we can only gay that it would not be amiss for these ardent Bible disciples to look into its pages occa- sionally, and see it they can imbibe some of its heavenly principles—particularly that which incul- cates love to all men, and the duty of doing unto others as we would that they should do unto us. The emblems of the old parties are well known. Hard cider—log cabins—fat coons—ash polee—cer- tainly gives us no great idea of intellectual superior- ity, moral worth or poetic feeling. Nor do hickory poles—crowing cocks, and other ineignia of another party, inspire us with any higher ideas of the moral and mental qualities of those who adopt them. The Bible is certainly a very different emblem, and whatever we may think of the intelligence or re- ligious, feelings, and of those who carry that sacred book in party processions, and raise it up amid the shouts and blasphemies of a mob, we are, at all events, quite justified in expressing a hope that it may lead them into the paths of virtue, charity, peace, toleration, love to all men, and respect for the laws of morality and decency, and the peaee and good order of society. One thing must be ap- parent to all, that the loud-mouthed attachment to the Bible, and “dealing damnation round the land” to all brother christians who think differently on some points, are not by any means consistent, and that it would be as well to keep them disunited. <. Terripce Work in a Smatt Way.—We under- stand that the whig leaders, clubs, orators, singers, and candidates, are in a terrible uproar at the sud- den resurrection of the natives, and the probability that these boys will take the business out of the hands of the whig old hunkers, and so elect Mr. Clay. The whig clubs and committees are on the verge of ruin. They must all turn natives or lose their presidential candidate. The Park Place meeting will show us which way the wind blows. PoxrricaL GamBuers AND ELECTION ExPRESsES.— One ot the greatest farces of the day, is the system of publishing a dozen of extras in a day, each pur- porting to pregent late intelligence from State elec- tions, brought by express. No dependence is to be placed in such things. They are generally got up by gamblers for the purpose of catching their dupes, and cheating the ‘‘gudgeons” out of their money. Every two or three hours, one of these “extras” is issued by the poor crazy people of the Express and Tribune ; and itis not alittle amusing to find, as is often the case, the extra of 12 o’clock flatly contradicting that of 11 o’clock in all its par- ueulars. The idea that an express is run all the way from Philadelphia, or Ohio, with the returns of two or three counties, is surely absurd enough. These affairs are all humbug. Tue Pourtican Fientine Ciuss.—These organi- zations of bullies and rowdies belonging to both parties, are nightly filling the streets with disorder andalarm. Not long since a band of one of these gangs, which are organized and paid by the respec- table men of both parties, perambulated Pearl street. They commenced their operations by knocking down two unoffending females, by way of showing their extreme bravery. They then dashed a window to pieces, rushed towards Broad- way, and fell on two gentlemen coming home from the theatre, whom they left bleeding and senseless on the pavement. All this time not asin- gle watchman was to be seen or heard of. Com- ment is unnecessary. More Lerrens rrom Mr. Cuay.—We have on hand six fresh letters from Mr. Clay in 1825—two on the election of Mr. Adams—one on kid gloves —and three short ones on Texas and other topice, Write away Mr. Clay. Your case is made up You can’t injure or bett now. Conngcricot Tows Evecrions.—The whige have carried forty-seven towns, and the democrat: thirty-nine.

In eonsequence of the abolition vote, the democrats have carried Mer- | cer, against expectation, making a difference of six hundred votes in that single county. In Wash- ington and Indiana, also, the abolition vote was sufficient to defeat the whig ticket in those coun- ties. In the seven counties now to hear from, the democrats probably have enough to swell Shunk’s majority in the State to 4,500, or thereabouts. Ohio Election. Gov, 1844. Pres, 1810. | —— —— Wh.

There are five democrats now in Congress from this State. Tue Excrrement.—During the whole of yester- day crowds were collected around the offices of the party papers, betting, swearing, lying, blasphe- ming, about the results of the elections. The ex- citement already surpasses that of the ‘* Tippeca- noe and Tyler too” campaign. Tue Mxpicat Scuoois or New York.—Already the medical studeuts begin to pour into this city from all sections of the Union. In consequence of the healthy rivalry of both colleges, a great im- pulse has been given to medical education here. The lectures are more philosophical, and the dis- secting rooms and hospitals better attended. There was certainly some need for improvement, and we are greatly gratified to learn that the symptoms of a great revival are so numerous and so favorable. New York is indeed rapidly becoming the Paris of this continent as respects medical education. The facilities for pursuing the various branches of study are great, and unequalled byany other city in the Union. Next winter we expect to see very | irge classes at both schools. From Rio Jangtro.—The Hiram W. Tyler, Cap- tain Tyler, arrived at this port yesterday from Rio Janeiro, whence she sailed on the 30th August, re- ports the arrival at that port the day previous, of the U.S. frigate Congress—officers and crew all well She was to sail soon for the River Plate, and would probably be absent about four months. Iranian Oprra.—To-night the beautiful opera of Tl Pirata is to be repeated. In a few days we understand that the rehearsals of the opera in which the new prima donna, Signora Pico is to appear, will commence. According to all ac counts she will make a great sensation in the mu- sical circles. Her debut, however, should be post- poned till after the election, which takes place in two or three weeks. It is quite impossible to get t the opera or the theatres during cal exc.tement. Ole Bull, indeed, draws a crowd, but he n anomaly. Tue Leorrimate Drama.—We perceive that the “bell ringers,” (humbugs rather) as they are called, are now engaged as stars at the Park Thea- tre. Wesuppose the next step in legitimacy will be to engage the “ourang outang” as a starin Othelio. Why will not Mr. Simpson come out like aman and engage the opera troupe, with the ballet, if Signor Palmo, as it is said, can’t get along with them? Brush up the Park Theatre—clear away the dirt—dismiss the humbug, andgive us an opera and ballet in the best style, and you will see its wails tenanted again by beauty and fashion. Ove Buut’s Concert at Nisvo’s on Saturpay Nicar.—The theatre was crowded to suffocation, and the enthusiasm was as great; and, if possible, greater than ever. The “recollections of Scot- land,” in which the great violin-poet gave varia- tions of some of the most popular Scottish airs, produced indescribable emotions of delight in the audience. Great Fata at Nisto’s.—This promises to be agreatday. The exhibition of fruits, flowers, &c., greatly improved. The first steam propeller, with engine, &c., ever moved on our waters, is expect ed; also, a magnificent fountain from West Point Foundry ; band ot music from the North Carolina at four o’ciock ; Edges’ brilliant fireworks in the evening. National Convention of Farmers and Gardeners opens at 10 A. M., at the Repository, in the Park. Exurmirion or Paintines —The exhibition of tle magnificent paintings of ‘Hudson abandoned at Sea”—u great battle between the French and Arabs in Africa—and a portrait of Abdel Kader, now to be seen atthe Society Library Rooms, are attracting a great many visiters. They are really great works of art, and worth repeated inspection. Tue 641m ano Last Rerertition in the city, of Dr. Hollick’s Lectures on the Propagation of Ve- getable and Animal Life, commences to-morrow evening at 74 o'clock. Tur Bowery Circus has got the run at present. The house is orderly—the performances excellent, and the horses beautiful. The Ethiopean Band will give a graphic illustration of ‘ Negro Life at the South” this evening. | A BROADWAY EXQUISITE,” ON HIS Morning’s Lounge. We give the above view of the fatest male fash ion in Broadway, for the benefit of our readers throughout this great republic. In a political point of view, the article is a beautiful specimen of for- eign manufacture, imported on the principles of tree trade. The coat is made in Paris, the panta- loons in London, 'the vest in Vienna, and the mous- tache, with the growth below, is the choicest cul- tivation of the immortal Jem Grant, No. 1 Aan street, the inventorof the “‘ Magnolia Wash,” with which it has been daily bedewed and perfumed. Tue Great Foor Race tus Day—Enatanp acainst AmeERica.—In our advertising columns will be found a list of the parties who start for this great race over the Beacon Course, Hoboken, to- gether with the regulations to be adopted on the occasion. Every thing displays the greatest pains having been taken by the spirited proprietor to se- cure good sport and accommodation, and there is little doubt but that the attendance will be im- mense, and it is hoped, adequately remunerate all parties concerned. Extra boats will be placed on the different ferries, and extra cars and vehicles on the other side ot the water in readiness to convey parties to the Course. There was a slight inaccu- racy in out notice of yesterday in consequence of the transposition of a figure, it should have been about 31 will start, not 13, as was stated. There has arrived from Boston L. L. Lathrop, residen! of Vermont, of some notoriety as a pedestrian in that neighborhood ; Geo. Jones, Chester, Pennsy! vania; also Greenhalgh and Barlow, from Rhode Island, where they have been in training since their arrival inthis country. The more recent bet- ting is Greenhalgh against any other; even 10 miles performed within the hour; the same that the 600 dollar purse would be taken ; 7 to 6.0n the English against the Americans, Staunard and Gil der. There isa deal of betting on diflerent par- ties performing certain distances within a_ given time, so that great excitement will prevail, and good sport displayed. It is said that upwards of 100,000 dollars are depending upon the events Parties from all parts ot the Union and the Cana- das have arrived to be present, together with a sprinkle from the old country. Bridgeport. [Correspondence of the Herald.] Bringerort, Oct. 11, 1844. The Convention—Great Excitement—Non-appear- ance of Mr. Choate—Disappoinment and Van Wagner. Dear Bennxtr: Wednesday the grat Whig Tubilee came off in our city. The weather was exceedingly fine, and musthave induced many to visit our city. The delegations from the different towns around us commenced pouring in from 9 A. M. till noon.— From all quartera multitudes were seen wending their way to the great mass meeting, and most of them probably to listen to a speech from the great inimitable Mr. Rufus Choate, but he was no! here, nor was it announced till it could have no backward tendency. With the ides of hearmg Mr, Choate, many were disap- pointed, yet the committee announced that his place would be supplied. Messrs. White, Selden, Chapman, Spencer, Van Wagner, and a Kentucky ass, were among the speakers. Some of your New York bands enlivened the occasion, particu larly in the procession, which was tolerably decent, all things considered. There was probably in the mighty procession not over 1,600,°a large estimate. Marehals were as thick as toads after a thunder shower, riding about hither and thither, some o} them were boys, appointed probably in order t catch their notes when they are old enough, and wheo any know enough. J torgot tu mention thai women,old and young, black aud white,and Indiuns, among whom [ noticed in their midst Ezekial Pann, Esq, in she proceety on foot. The processio: finally halted at the speaker’s stand, and was ad- dressed by White Selden, and the Blacksmith, whe spoke about five minutes, and swore that he woulc see them d——d first before he would speak any longer. This wasone of the greatest peculiaritier of the day, to have the Blacksmith get infuriatec on such an occasion ; he thought he ought to have been the second blower, Wc. Matters were, how- ever, reconciled, and he made his appearance in the evening in the City Hall, and gave the Whigs a rich treat. He addressed them last evening onthe tariff, the night before on adifleren! question—the tariff—and to-night ona different question still—the tariff. He squirts his dye stuti around amazingly, and makes the loco focos star: afew. We have great meetings here now-a- ally if we are favored with the chairmanshiy the brave knight of the goldea auger,” which is always the case. i . We are ina theatre of excitement (political) The Herald is still more popular with the reading community. The abominable locofocos, and the rotten, stinking and corrupt factions of the coons, wax warmer and warmer, aud continue to stink stronger and stronger. Respectfully, Sewers. James G. Bennett, Esq — Wi As your attention, and that of the public, is now drawn to the eee of sewers for the city, I take the liberty of making a’ few remarks, The city of Hatifax, Nova Scoua, is built on the side of a very steep hill—in heavy rains the quantity of water rushing down the paved gutters, on e: side of the street, is very great. To lesson tha inconvemence, and to promote cleanliness, abou: fitteen or sixteen years ago, (nearly as I now can fecolersiy in several streets sewers were built ir the middle of each street, at a great expense, wide and high, almost sufficient fora man to walk uprigh: ia, with gratings at each cross street to let off the water. This certainly accomplished the object, but, in my opinion, in avoiding one difficulty they run into a greater. [remembered Halifax for four or five years after the completion of probably four sewers, and heard a general complaint, that they were an intolerable nuisance, for the stench issu- ing from the gratings was dreadfully offensive, so much so, that people near them were compelled \« put caps over the gratings (which only partially remedied the evil) to enable them to live in then houses with any comfort. It is now nine year: since I left that piace, and have never heard whether more sewers were built, though 1 know that at first it was contemplated building them in every street inthe city, that led tothe summit of Citadel Hill. Now if the inhabitants of Halifax suffered such inconvenience in such steep streets, what woulo be felt in a level city (in comparison,) like New York? I will leave you to judge. Thave lived here three years, and have often, in my own mind, drawn comparisons between tite two places, and have invariably come to the con- clusion that New, York is better without sewers, where all the filth is seen, and can be taken away, which is better than having it buried out of sight, and only reminded of it by a most abominable ef fluvia, enough to bring a pestilence in the neigh- sorhood in the months of July and August. A quantity of filth will always accumulate in ¢ sewer, and cleaning it will be attended with double the expense of cleaning the street.

He had the pleasure of ag ing betore the ‘Sultan of the Turkeys.” The “Uni- versal Gazette of Augsburgh,” has pleasantly re. corded this interesting fact:—*The celebrated pi- :Leopold de Meyer,” says that universal jour- ‘had the honor of producing himself in the pre- sence of S..H. the Sultan, under whose sublime nose he was placed on the 19th of this month— (Aug. 1843) ‘The Chevalier de Schwarzbuber, dragoman to the Ausirian internuncio, accompa- nied him for that purpose, on the morning of the said day, to the residence of Ritaat Pacha, by whom he was to be introduced to the Sultan.— When they arrived, at the hour appointed, at the couatry house of Rifaat Pacha, the minister of fo- reign affairs had them conducted by one of his tchotadars to the palace of Beilerbei. The great hall of ceremony, which, fro.n its size and vaulted ceiling, is eminently suited to musical perform- ances, was assigned to De Meyer de Leopold, who accordingly placed his piano there. After he had put everything in readiness, he was shown into a pavilion situate outside of the seraglio— (judicious precaution—the known gallantry of De Meyer being considered)—where he was requested to wait until the preposterously sublime sultan should order him into his infinitely impossi- ble presence—which terrific event occurred about two of the clock, in the post-noon. De Meyer and Schwarzhuber were received in the most conde- scending manner at the entrance of the before mentioned hall, by no less a personage than Riza Pacha, who, after a familiar chat of a quarter of ao hour, retired into the inner apartments to an- nounce to the great grandfather of the fixed stars, that all was ready. In a few minutes his sublimity entered, followed by Riza Pacha and sundry eunuchs—while from the opposite door entered (teartul to relate!) the three secretaries of the ca- binet. The sultan then disposed himself, nether- wise, on an arm chair which was pight for him on a semi circular platform, turned towards the sea, and raised a foot nigher than the floor. Riza Pa- cha stood at the sublime sides, while the other persons present kept respectfully aloof. At length the grand marshal signified De Meyer, that it was the desire of the too-great-to-be-lightly-mentioned. that he should place himself at the clavichord and play cunning fantasies. Whereupon De Meyer de Leopold extemporised a brilliant prelude, and glided imperceptibly into his Anna Bolena fantasy, at the termination of which, the horrid Sultan ex- pressed, by a stare, that he was not displeased—and ultimately deigning to remember that he was not dumb, and that the language of sublime looks wae not universal, condescended to indicate a wish that De Meyer, the expert pianist, would fiddle for him the Turkish tunes which he (De Meyer, the expert pianist,) had arranged for the piano, and of whi the Chevalier de Schwarzhuber had made mention inthe conversation he had exulted in with Riza Pacha. Whereupon De Meyer brought down a brace of the most favorite airs (hares)* of the Sul- tan, which he had hunted up since his arrival in Constantinople, with the aid of the Maestro di Capella of His Haughtiness, (Donizetti Bey—broth- er of the remarkable composer whose works have swamped the civilized world of late years)—and dressed them in such a manner as marvellously suited the palate of the tremendous un-nameable who sat betore him. These airs De Meyer has transported to the piano-forte, 17:-a-not-enough-to- be-wondered-at-rmanner—giving the effect of a complete orchestra, without adding, altering, modi- fying, or transmuting one iota of the national char- acter of the tunes. The Sultan listened with in tense interest, and grimly grinned his satisfaction. He not only conversed furiously with Riza Pacha, but,he ‘absolutely asked De Schwarzhuber how and when De Meyer had bagged these airs, (hares)t, and if he, De Schwarzhuber, had ever tasted them before. After expressing his decided contentment, the Sultan ordered a self-acting bar- rel-organ, which happened tu be in the room, to play several Turkish and other airs—which the organ did, much to the delight of De Meyer.— Whereupon the last named asked permission to play acavalry march lately composed by him. The Padichah listened to this with hungry curiosity, and asked many questions of the artist, and especially at what age he had commenced the study of music. The Sultan demanded yet another piece. De Meyer responded by his Lucia di Lammermoor, the most brilliant of all brilliant fantasies, which ap- eared more than all, to captivate ** Him of the Turkeys.” He arose from his seat, approached the clavichord, curio and constantly regarded the pianist with an air of much benevolence—fol- lowing eagerly the roulades, skips, crossing: other cunning devices with which the fantasy abounds. De Meyer having ended, the Sultan said other pleasantries te him, aud jocosely observed that he played better than Donizetti, which, doubt- less, that maestro weuld allow. To all ‘of which De Meyer responded with profuse acknowledg ments of the honor which had been accorded nim. Whereupon Riza Pacha approached him, and presented him.on the part of 8S. H., with a gold snnft-box, garnished with briliianty, us & sou- venir—pronouncing the word in Turkish, accord- ing to the wish of the Sultan, who, himself, uttered the word several times with emphasis—** Zrw2lmdk, Trwzlmdk, Trwzlmdk!” De Schwarzhuber also ‘ota gold box trom the same qnarter—after which itis Sublimity quitted the hall. Siza Pacha once more expressed the high satisfaction which the Sultan had received from the playing of the young virtuoso, and added these words:—‘ M. Leopold de Meyer is decidedly a great artist, and we all know here how to appreciate talent.”—Gazette Universelle d’ Augsburgh. *This pun is literally traduced from the Augsburgh journal. a * Again the Augsburgh Journal 1s guilty—we have stuck to the text.—xn. 1).

Sunday, Oct. 13-6 P. M. The pos'tion of the Stock Market is any thing but fa- vorable to those interested in an advance on quotations. In consequence of the political excitement,now raging 60 extensively, it is impossible to tell, from present appear- ances, what course things will take in the course of the next thirty days, The two political'parties crelvery equel- ly divided between the operators in Wallstreet. We find most of the bears in stocks beloag to one party, and most of the bulls to the other. One party is in favor of ade cline in prices, end;the other in favor of an advance. — There is no doubt but that quotations for stocks in this market will be very much affected by the result of the approaching contest, either favorably or unfuvorably.— It matters little whether any actual improvement is created in their values, from the policy of either party. The effect of the success of the whig party on financial operations of all kinds, must be of the most satisfactory nature. We have no evidence that any improvement at- tending the success of the whig party will be permanent, as there can be no other foundation fer such a movement than the general feeling among operators. Those who get up the principal operations in stocks in this market, are generally men of limited capital. The heaviest ope. rators are oftener bears than any thing else, and are generally working for a decline. Operators for a rise, being adesperate, reckless set of speculators, who have every thing to gain and little to lose—are influenced by the slightest favorable circumstance and follow up any trifling improvement in prices, until two-thirdsof them are used up. They are the most sensitive beings in existence, as the fluctuations in stocks daily show.— Within the past week there has been a great falling off in quotations. At the close of the week previous, operators for an advance, were progressiug very rapidly, but not . being able to sustain the quotations obtained, a very heavy falling off has since been experienced. We annex” a table showing comparative quotations for the past week :— Quotations FOR THE rRINcIPAL Stocks In THE New YORK Maker. R ‘Sat. Mon. Twy. Wed, They. Fr'y Sat.
