We shall publish an extra edition of the Herald at 3 o’clock with all the latest intelli- gence that may arrive in the meantime. Tue Episcopan Convention —We give on our first page the continuation of the report of the ex- traordinary discussions and proceedings in the Episcopal Convention at Philadelphi Brass candlesticks and little urchins arrayed in white aprons, are, it would appear, the principal subjects of the pious and solemn debates of this venerable body. These reports are, indeed, a curious and interesting portion of the history of these times. They are capital adjuacts to the heavy political in- telligence and election returns—hot, spicy and serviceable condiments, like French mustard with a round of beef. ‘The Coalition, Ofa verity, the plot thickens. It will be at once perceived, from a report of the proceedings at the great ‘‘Native” meeting in Park Place, that the coalition between the Natives” and the Whigs has already begua. The “Native” candidate tor the Third Congressional District, has undisguisedly announced his determination to go for Clay at all hazards, and the ennouncement was re-echoed by enthusiastic cheers. We may now consider the alliance between the “Natives” and Whigs ascon- summated- The excitement among the Whigs and the panic amongst the Democrats, last night, were quite indescribable. The coming Presiden- dentia! election in this city will be the most intense- ly interesting—the most extraordinary—and the most influential in its results, of any ever held since the organization of the Government. The Eleetions—Increase of the Excitement. The excitement increases as every additional piece of information is received from the contested States. Our accounts from Georgia show that al- though the whigs may elect a majority of the members of Congress, yet the populur vote is ex- tremely close, and that in the contest forthe Presi- dency, the one party will have just as gooda chance as the other. We have also further returns from Ohio, which leave little room to doubt that the whig candidate for Governor is elected, with a majority of whig Congressmen ; but it is probable that the Legislature will be very close. The close- ness of the contest in Ohio has, doubtless, been produc d by the abolition vote, which has in- creased very fearfully since last year. In 1843, it was six thousand—it is now probably from ten to twelve thousand—a separate and distinct pariy or- ganization, operating very much against the whigs, and we should not be surprised if it were to en- danger Mr. Cl&y’s chances of success in this State, next month, Another feature in all these elections, is the im- mense vote which has been brought out, and the probability that a much larger vote will be cast at the polls, when the great question is to be decided. In the city of Cincinnatti, alone, the increase of the absolute vote, since 1840, is nearly four thou- gand—one-third of the whole vote. And the pro- bability is, that a similar increase will take place all over the State. It is likely, therefore, judging from the extraordinary increase of the vote im the western States, that the popular vote on the great question may be over three millions—probably, three and a half millions. From this fact it will be seen, in a nicely balanced contest, how ex- tremely hazardous are the chances of both candi- dates, and what an influence a mere local acci- dent, or local feeling, may have on the final de- cision of the great Presidential question. Acother singular fact strikes us, and thatis the increase of the abolition vote in Ohio and Penn- sylvania, and the separate, distinct, and perfect or- ganization of that party. In nine counties in Pennsylvania the abolitionists polled three thous- and votes, being a greater number than the whole State gave last year. It will be observed also that the abolition vote is taken principally from the Whigs. Tne same state of things with regard to abolition existsin,Ohio. There is no possible chance, according to all appearances, of the abolitionists voting any other ticket than Birney and Morris in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and other States; and when we consider that the increase is 60 great on that ticket, we should not be surprised to eee over one hundred thousand votes cast all over the free Srates for Birney, in spite of all the efforts of the Whigs—in spite of all the acts of Birney him- self—in spite of all the speeches of Cassius M. Clay, and in spite of all the efforts of Mr. Webster to reconvert them to the ranks of the whig party.— The only chance that the whigs have to neutral- ize the efforts of the extraordinary increase of the abolition vote, is to do it in detail, in the various counties, by abandoning their own local tickets, voting the abolition ticket, thereby procuring the abolition votes in return for the whig Presidential candidate. In this they may succeed to some ex- tent in this State, but we doubt whether they can in Ohio, and other States. The singular position, therefore of the abolition- ists, as already so clearly indicated 1n these elec- tion returns, is operating against the whigs, no'- withstanding all their efforts to counteract its evil influence. Their only—their last hope, is to'neutril- ize that evil agency by coalescing with the ‘ na- tive” movement in the large cities of the Atlantic coast, particularly New York. Nothing can save the city and State of New York, and therefore the Presidency to the whig party, but some successful ne- gotiation or arrangement by which the “natives” can be induced to go for Mr.Clay, on condition that the whigs support their Congressional and Legislative tic- kets. We believe that the whole decision ot the con- test hingeshere. We are firmly persuaded that onthe eve of the Presidential election im the city of New York we shall know whowill be next President of the United States. If the Polk electoral ticket umphs in this city, Mr. Polk will be elected. 1!) the Clay electoral ticket be carried here, Mr. Clay will be next President From this view of the Great question—a view fully confirmed by facts—a view in which all intelligent men are gradually coacurring—we are saved from the trouble of in- vestigatiog the authenticity and scrutinizing the tendency of the details of the elections ata dis- tauce. There is no likelihood, then, of people be- ing again deceived by the humbug expresses pre, tending to give election returns, If New York city Ko for Polk, the country will go tor Polk—ang if New York city go for Clay, the whole country will go forClay. Such is the uiceand even balan- ced state of parties that the chief city of the Union decides the tate of both in this great repubfic. Puocress or Newerarer Movements.—During the last year number of newspapers, on the new stem of management first introduced by ua into the Herald, have started into existence under vari- ous auspicies, and large sums of money have beew expended on them. We have been watching thei: progress for some time, and we have some curiou- ideas to give respecting their character— personnel aad materuel—their pretensions—and their fate—as soon as we are at leisure to arrange these ideas and can find reom for them in ow colamas. Since we firs: commenced the Herald, on @ comprehensive and philosophical system o} journalism—the smalkbeer poets, the gin-cocktail literatewrs, and the bar-room reviewers, have been in a wouderful state of effervescence, endeavoring by all means to ecateh that spirit which has borne ug onward to prosperity and power. None of thers have yet had the sagacity io understand it. And we do verily believe that if the brains of a dozen o! them were condensed into the skull of one, and that one fulty informed of the secret of our success, even then he would not be able tojuaderstand it, Ponnsylvania Election, Bu 1B Wi.

Post Orrice Mismanacgment.—We till hear maoy complaints of ike mismanagement of the Post Office of this city under its present incumbent We do not mean complaints against the clerks in that establishment,who are as industrious and asat- tentive to the public, as they possibly can be. But it is against the principal manager—the Postmaster himself, who appeara to have no mind competent tograsp the duties of his office, that these com- plaints are made. For instance, in this exciting time, and when the mails arriving at night bring 4o mach important intelligence from all parts of the country, is it not too bad that the whole duty should be laid on two clerks? It is physically im- vossible forthem to discharge their duty, Why not employ a sufficient force so as to have the ousinese of the department properly conducted, and the public interests secured 1 “Tue Sons or Tempgrance.”—This body walk- ed in procession through the city yesterday, and nade a very imposing display in point of numbers. {nthe evening an oration was delivered before hem at the Tabernacle by the Hon.

The Great Mass Meeting of the Natives in Park Piace Last Evening—The “ative” Candidate ‘wears Allegiance to Henry Clay The Coalition Commenced—-The Piot Thickens—Great Rejoicing amongst the Whigs—All up with the Pope of Rome, and the Panic Spreading in the Democratic Camp! The great mass meeting of the Natives in Park Place, with a Drummond light, innumerable torches, an hundred patriotic banners, and terrible enthusiasm, took place last evening in spite of the severe storm of rain, which commenced about sun- set. But the inclemency of the weather prevented @ great many from coming out, especially of the Whigs, who had intended to be there in great numbers. As it was, about fifteen hundred persons assembled, of whom, probably, three hundred were boys between twelve and eighteen, who did con- siderable service in the way of adding to the en- thusiastic tumult of the occasion. The chair was taken by Ald. Extas G. Draxe, who introduced Dr. A. Mercer to the meeting. The Doctor then read the address and resolutions of the nominating committee of the district, which was received with cheers. Mr. Wm 8. Mituxnr, the candidate for the district, then stepped forward, and was received with rather focbie cheers, He said:—I thank you, my friends and tel ow Citizens —— kind reception —— as a ca didate — Am rican Republicans —— seat —— House of » spresen tativ:s —— United Stat It ia no atected humility —— leads me —— attribute my Jnomination —— estimate you—— formed —— disposjuon, rather than —— my ability —— 1 of service —— thatcapucity.

It is not necessary, my fellow citizens, that [ should take this ‘occasion to reassure you of my faith in the American Re mblican creed, You unders\ood my views on this matter fure you tendered me your nomination. But there is ‘one other point on which I desire to be distinctly under- stood. I wish no men to vote for me undera mistake. | desire no man to pose that I am neutral or indifferent on other great questions belore the corfhtry, independant- ly of the contemplated change in the laws of naturaliza- lon: 1am not an American sepublioen by halves—I go not only for American principles—for the perpetuity of an American Constitution — for the perpetuity of an Amer- ican Republic—but I go also for that, without which none of all these can long con'iaue to exist—I go for the yr0- tection of American labor, and the preservation of the American Union. (Great cheering--cri's of “thats the talk”) [hope never to see our industrious and enter- rising people impoverished by further experiments in Kee trade. I hope never to see the debts and territory of ‘Tezas assumed, for no better end than that of enriching the speculators in her scrip and lands. (Renewed on. vociferous cheering—cries of “igo it”—"that’s it.”) 1 en- tertain these views because I aman American Republi- on—and | cannot well conceive that on these points any American Republican should differ from me. So think ing end so feeling, beeanse I am a friend to the protec'ion of the labor of American citizens and to the American Union, Iam therefore friendly to the cleva tion of Henvy Clay of Kentucky to the Presidency of the United States (tremendous cheering) ; and I should re- gret that any man should be induced to bestow on mo ‘is suffrage, under the impression that, on these vital juestions of national policy, I could be adverse or indif- erent. Now, my friends, you have my whole political faith ; for can consent to no duplicity or concealment. All who vote for me will vote understandingly, and with the knowledge that my choice in the Presidential contest Sulls upon that man, who. more than anv o her statesman of the day or age, is the embodiment of R-publican principle: and the great champion of American rights, JAmeri can interests, and «American labor.

The Second Meeting, held at the same time. About the centre of Park Place was erected « a second platform, upon which and around were gatnered a number of boys, and in the trees, other: with bone castanets, amusing themselves, to the great annoyance of the orators on the platform beneath Atter some little delay, the meeting war organized—Thomas H.

(Great cheering, amid which the Last evening some curious und novel scenes took place at the Opera House, much to the amusement of some, the regret of more, and the laughter of all. The devil is among the musicians os well as the politicans. There was a bit of an English farce instead of a ballet, between the two acts of the opera. It Pirala was performed—the house was elegant, but not crowded—and Borghese, Pe- rozzi, and Valtellina never sung better. Borghese was in most splendid voice and drew repeated bursts of ep- plause, But to the fun—there was a considerab!e delay at the rising of the curtain, and rumors were circulated that the troupe had “struck for wages” und particularly that Pe rozzi had refused to sing a single note more, if he was not paid up. Some minutes alter eight the opera began— Perozzi appeared—and all went as “‘ merry as a marriage bell.” The first act closed in magnificent style Then came a pause. The audience waited—the ladies talked— the pit quizzed, and the gallery got tired. There was more pause. The house began to make a noise. More pai -nore neise—more delay—more thumping.-— “© What's the difficulty 7” was asked all over the house. The talk went round that the “ orchestra had struck for wages.” ‘ What!” said one in the lobby “the d—d fiddlers!” After more delay, and more noise, Signo: Rapetti came in with a few of the orchestra, and turning round to the audience, made a speech thus: ‘Ladies and Gentlemen—I am sorry to inform you that several of the orchestra have [eft because they are not paid. I am willing to go on mysell.” He wasap- plauded. More delay. ‘The curtain rose—the chorus came in—but no music, They looked at each other, laughed outright, and went off amid a storm of hisses and laughter. sore delay. Several of the chorus were seen peeping from behind the scenery, The plume of Perozzi, or the train of beautiful Borghese swept past an angle. At last,thecurtain rose, and out came Signor Palmo himself, attended by Mr. Dinneford, formerly of the Franklin Theatre, who made his bow to the au- dience, lifted up his voice and said :— “ Ladies and gentlemen— Thave been requested by Mr. Palmo to explain to you adiftioulty into which he has got with his company.-- (Great sensation] Mr. Palmo, during this short season hasnot been 0 prosperous as he expected.

Signor Palmo and Mr. Dinneford then went off-the curtain rose—Signor Rapet!i and part of the orchestra struck up—the second and last act of I!

The ranks principally consisted of boys, displaying various banners of white cotton, on which were printed such in- scriptions as “Young America,’ “Anti-Assessment,” “No foreign influence,” ‘Keduction of Taxes,” ke. &o. On the whole, it was not near such a large mecting as that of last week at the end of East Broadway; the whole was a very damp affair throughout—both in spirits and weather, Meeting of the Whigs of the Fifth Congres- sional District. At half past seven yesterday evening, that space of ground which formsa triangle at the junction of Houston, Hammersley, and Bedford streets, was tenauted by the Whig hosts of the Fifth Congres. sional District, comprising the 8th, 9h, and 14th Wards. The platform was stout and well placed, the music capital, and the musicians, both vocal and instrumental, seemed to be in high wind ; the crowd, too, were anxious to see proceedings com- menced, but wa.ied with commendable patience, amusing themvelves with staring at a sky-rocket, and the red glare of the torches, with which the orm was weil furnished. The weather, which was threatening, and by turns rainy, became more 80 just as the crowes were gathering in, and had it not been for this, the meeting, us it promised, would have beena large one. Asit was, fullya thousand were present, but they gradually fell off after half an hour’s stay. After some consideration of a proposal to ad- journ to National Hall, it was agreed to go on with the essential business of the night; but on accoun: of two solid reasons it was announced that the speaking would be dispensed with—and those rea- sons were, first, the inclemency of the weather, and secondly, the absence of the orators. On the announcement being made it met with a_hearty shout of approval, and loud calls of *‘ go on”—“‘ go on” “ adjourn,” &c. : Mr. D. L. Bennett, 8th ward, who was named President, called the meeting to order. The reso- lutions prepared by the nominating commitiee were read and approved of, and the name of J. B. Scholes was applauded with good will as their pro- osed candidate to represent the district. Mr. toutenburgh being called upon, sung a genuine Clay song, aud Mr. Davis closed the proceeding: by a short address in support of the resolutions, 0! Scholes, Clay, and, Whig principles in general. A procession was then formed, which marched in high glee through mud, mire, and rain, to Mr Scholes’ residence, for the purpose of congratu!s ting him on the houors conferred upon him in th- shape ot the proflered whig suffrages of the dis- trict. Before concluding it may, be useful to intimate that afew rowdies and blacklegs who by some means or Other gota place upon the platform, be came, upon the sight of our reporter, suddenly fired with the ambition of assaulting him, and to use their own language, of giving him ‘ta g—d d—i cutting.” One or two persons who had sens: enough to see that reporting for the Herald was noi quite @ sufficient provocation, mtertered, and thu prevented violence. It would bea wise precaution at such meetings to appoint efficient officers to kee; down the blackguards who seem to intest politica assemblies for no other purpose than raise bad feel ing, and bring disgrace upon the party they grow! and bark for. Muuitra Fine Cortectors.—Are respectable citi- zens never to get relief from the annoyances and impositions of those harpies, the militia fine col- lectors, who make a business of harrassing peopl: out of fines which they have no right to levy? This has, indeed, become an intolerable nuisance The collector known by the soubriquet of ‘One Eyed Davy,” has been recently subjecting severe! professional men and othera, to great annoy- ance by rushing into their offices and places of busi ness and threateuing to put an execution into thei: houses if his demands were not complied with. 11 1s really melancholy to see the great mass of the community so led awdy from their own interesi+ by the excitement of mere party politica, that the) are entirely blinded to many great objects of re dress and reform. Post office reform—reform o! the gas monopoly—the modification of the militia laws—and other matters of pressing public interes: are utterly neglected and cast aside in the heat, tu- mult and phrenzied excitement of a contest abou men and the “spoils” of office. z Ciry Rerorm.—The “ nativs” organs are still harping on the remarks we have made on thei broken promises, and with a degree of impudence perfectly astounding accuse us of falsehood, whilst we only gave their own documents—their ewn of- ficial statements. By a ridiculous analysis and se- paration of the taxes in one year, they would attempt to show that they have actually re- duced the city taxation. But the tax-payers who have to put their hands in their pockets and pay the three hundred thousand dollars added to their burdens know how to estimate such attempts. The fact is, the city was neverin so bad a condition under the rule of any former corporation. The streets, Broadway in particular, are abominably filthy—riots, rows, and all sorts of disturbances in the streets are frightfully increasing—the city watchmen are more worthless than ever—and thie corporation have in six months earned more obloquy and discredit than the worst of their pre- iecessors ever did in a year. Tue Great Foot Race.—This affair was post- poned yesterday in consequence of the uncertain state of the weather, but if it is at all more favora- ble it will come off this day at 3 o’clock. with the delay the excitement increasee—betting last ~yening was most lively. The odds were 50 to 100,thut Gilder would perform the ten miles witha the hour; even that the three Englishmen, Green- halgh, Jackson, and Barlow, would take two purses; 50 to 100 on Stannard; even that Stannard would perform the ten miles within the hour; 100 to 50 that Stannard will beat Gilder; 100 to 50 on the field against any one. Mr. Dempster’s Last Concert.—This gentle- man gives his last Concert this evening at the So ciety Library rooms in Broadway. As he har nitherto been a favorite with the public, there 1s little doubt but that he will be supported accord- ingly. He will sing some of his most recent cem- positions on the occasion.

It was a dramatic representation of Burn’: celebrated tale of “Tam O’Shanter,” in which al the characters of that inimitable poem were intro- duced. It ia said in some of the papers, that James R. Whiting, the Ex-District Attorney is now the prin cipal proprietor of the Bowery Theatre. When he was in office, Mr. Whiting, itis well known, war an extremely straight-laced moralist.
