and settles down for life at her villa on the banks of the Lake of Como. = On Thursday evening, during the performance ot the play of * Othello,” at the Victoria theatre, the audience were much excited by an announce- ment from the management. Towards the close of the play, gnd just before the last act was to be represented, Mr. Osbaldiston came for- ward and addressed the audience as follows :— “Ladies and gentlemen, I am placed in a most painful position. I know not what to say. (Sensition.) Mr, Kirbye whe has been drunk to night, has insulted the whole company, and without saying a word to me has left the house.” (Cries of * Isa lie, Mr. Karby is not drunk.”)— Mr. O-baldiston proceeded, * If it is your wish, I will send alter him, and trytoget him on.” (Con- fusion.) Several gentlemen in che pit here rose and essayed to speak. One gentleman, after the confu- sion subsided, said, **Ladies and gentlemen, it is uo- trneto say that Mr. Kirbyisdrank. Ihave just seen him, and he is as sober as any person ia the house this moment. The fact is, Mr. Osbaldiston has grossly insulted Mr. Kirby by telling Miss Vincent, in the presence of the whole company, not to speax the speeches, but to come to cues, and not be humbugged by the damned Yankee. Mr. Kirby has just attempted to enter the theatre, and explain to you the natare of the gross insult offered to him, but Mr. Osbaldiston has ordered the door- keepers not to admit him.” Great confusion fol- lowed this gentieman’s remarks, and a noise at the box entrance added not a little to the uproar; and, upon big oe it was found that Mr. Osbaldiston and Mr Kirby were at the door, the latter gentle- man having paid for a box ticket, and the termer refusing himadmittance. The house thinned atter the above affair, and the other pieces went off tainely.— Globe.

Spnscrmuen. NEW_YORK HERALD. New York, Tucsday, 22, 1844. We present our city subscribers this morning with an advertising ‘Supplement to the Herald,” owing to the great pressure of important news. The Great Native Mecting—A Monster, The Great Native County Mass Meeting was held last night in the Park, and such another assem. blage, in peint of numbers, enthusiasm, flags, mot- toes, oratory and spirit, we have never yet seen paralleled in New York. It was decidedly one-third larger than any Whig or Democratic meeting we have ever beheld in this city. Both Whigs and De- mocrats were thunderstruck. A full report will be found in another column. The Natives declare their unalterable purpose to be to go on their own hook—to make no compro- mises or coalition with any party; but they are ready to absorb within their capacious bosem the rank and file of both the old parties. According to all appearances the whole Native congressional, senatorial, and assembly tickets, will be carried by overwhelming majorities; but how Polk or Clay will come out in this city, isa greater mystery than ever. We know what is—but God only knows what istobe. All is confusion. Tho Foreign News. We give a full synopsis of the foreign news brought to Boston on Sunday afternoon last by the Acadia steamer, and thence te this city yesterday morning by the government express. It is rather interesting, but not overwhelmingly so. The statement first published in the ‘ Liverpool Times” of a treaty having been negociated by Mr. Cushing between China and the United States, is generally doubted. So also is the story first put in motion by the “ London Times,” that the minis- ters of repudiating mations were to be cut in the diplomatic circles at the British court. Equally doubtful is the engagement of Taglioni for the United States theatres at $50,000 a year. The rest of the news is worth two cents. Puiwapgenta Treason InpictTMENTS.—It will be recollected that the Grand Jury in Philadelphia, returned an indictment against some of the persons who distinguished themselves by spiriting on the mob againet the civil authorities during the recent dreadful riots in Philadelphia. Mr. Levin, the member of Congress elect, John J. Watmaugh, the ex-member, and we believe another editor,him of the Spirit of the Times, were implicated in this indictment. We do not wish to say a single word offensive individually to any of the persons embraced in this indictment for treason against the State, but it is due to the institutions of the country—to the Con- stitution—to the principles of the American revolu- tion—to the character of Philadelphia—and to the the progress of liberty, that these men should be subjected to a fair and impartial trial, and that if it be found that in any degree they were culpable in exciting the mob to resist the civil authorities, they should be punished with the utmost severity of the law. No matter how they stand in society, they should be dealt with as they merit. A civil govern- ment canaot exist unless the public authorities are protected and sustained by public opinion a; lawless, blood-thirsty, atrocious, church-burning mob. This opinion is expressed without reference to the right or wrong of any of the parties, but merely on the broad grounds of public order ana the security of civil government. Hiram Kercnum in THE Fieup.—Hiram Ketch- um and his friends, alarmed at the important posi tion of Mr. George Folsom, the “Native” candidate for Senator, have commenced a movement which comes off to-day, by a speech from Mr. Ketchum himself, on the school law. This is intended, un doubtedly, to prevent a great portion of the whigs who are in favor of a repeal of the present school law and restoration of the Bible to the schools, from voting the ‘‘Native” ticket for Mr. Folsom But however much Mr. Ketchum’s expressed epi- nions of the school law may be concurrent with those of any section of the people of this city, he is not at all to be compared in point of intellectual capacity, dignified demeanor, good temper, and li- beral mind, with Mr. George Folsom. Government Exprusass —The manner in which the government expresses from Boston are man aged is most disgraceful. Every thing was in rea- diness on the last occasion, except the locomotive at Greenport, when a delay of tree hours took plaee, all owing to the meanness and narrowness of the Post Office Department, which conld not, it seems, go to the petty expense of keeping the engine in readiness. Uncle Sam himee!f, who isa generous, liberal-minded fellow, and at this mo ment has his pockets so full that he doesn’t well know what to do with his money, would manage this business in another style. But we have got such a miserable Post Office Department, and such a mean set of postmasters, as never, we be lieve, before disgraced any country. We most heartily wish that Mr. Polk or Mr. Clay, or Mr. Anybody, would get at once into the White House, so that all those scurvy fellows might be kicked out. Hurricanss 1n Octoser.—Two gales have swept over America since the Ist inst., which we believe to have been unparalleled in this country. One occurred on the 6th inst., which was very destructive to the shipping along the entire Atlan- tic coast. We continue in to-day’s paper the par- ticulars of its desolating course. The other burst upon us last Friday night, and we refer our readers to another column for the melancholy details of its effects on the northern lakes. It is ir estimate to set the loss of life by both calamities at two hundred, and of property at one million of doilars, {f any thing this is below the mark. Ove Butt —We are gratified to learn that this distinguished a has now nearly recovered from his late indisposition His physician, Dr. Francis, has placed him on his legs again, and we may ex- pect, in a few days to hear some more of his thrill- ing tones, We now learn that this afternoon at 4 o’clock, this distinguished artist and generous man, redeems the promise he recently made to the American In- stitute, and will play before them and the public at the hour designated, some of histouching gems on the violin. The Institute, we understand, means to apply the proceeds of this day to the chari- table institutions of the city, on which accoun probably this great maestro offered his servicer gratis; tickets being for this day and for this be- nevolent occasion only twenty-five cents. Wr have no doubt the gardens will be tumultuously crowded. Generosity and genius unite in furnish- ing the entertainment. Important From Brazit.—It is reported by Capt Sherwood, of Cohansey, that when he sailed from Rio Grande on the Sist of August, it was,rumored that the Brazilians had taken part with Montevi- deo, and were going to war with Buenos Ayres.— They had an army of 6000 troops ready to march. American produce very low, and all kinds of hides scarce and very high. Sourn Caronina Evection.—This state has gone as usual, for the democrats. It is impossible t give any returns, they are in such a confuseo state. Brie Pare Monz.—We learn from the Captain of this brig that he passed a whale and not a wreck, as hasbeen reported in the Valparaiso papers ‘ ‘The Great Monster Mass Meeting of the tives” in the Park Last Night—Immense Assemblage of the People=Great Enthusi- asm for the Bible—Magnificen¢ Drummond Might, and Grand Discharge of Fireworks. The Great Mass Monster Meeting of the “‘Na- tives,” to respond to theJaominations on their coun- ty ticket, which had been postponed in conse- quence of the inclemency of the weather last Fri- day, took place last night in the Park. The pre- parations were on the most imposing scale. The city flag was hoisted ail day—tbree immense plat- forms were erected in the Park—fireworks on the most magnificent scale were erected, and in all Wards the enthusiasm and excitement amongst the “Natives,” were indescribable. About six o’clock, thereSprobably were three thousand persons on the spot, many of them being temales. On the balcony of the City Hall, a large Drummond light shed its dazzling radiance on the multitude, lighting up the crowds, the trees, and the Fountain, making the whole scene almost as clear as noon-day. About half past seven o’clock the meeting was organized by the appointment of Epwarp Prime, Esq., as chairman. As Mr. Prime was absent at the organization,the chair wastaken by P ; Gen. Luoyp, who said, on taking the chair, that itwas a great source of honor to him that he stood in such an honorable position before such a large concourse of American citizens. When he came there he expected to see a few of the citizens of New York, but behold, they had got the Union with them in spirit and purpose. (Tremendous cheers.) L , ‘ About twenty Vice Presidents were then nomina- ted amid loud shouts and acry of “there ain’t enough of them.” Mr. Ricwarp, Warren then reported on the part of the nominating committee, that, they"had selected George Folsom as the senatorial candi- date. Mr. Falsom’s letter of acceptance was then read ; it is as followa:— New Yonx, Oct. 3, 1644. Gentlemen :— T have the honor to acknowledge your letter of the Ist inst., informing me that I have been “ nominated by the American Republican Senatorial Convention of this Dis- trict, as their candidate for Senator, at the ensuing el tion.” I beg that you will communicate to the Conven- tion my deep and grateful sense of the distinguished honor conferred upon me by this nomination, and that | accept it with the greatest distrust of my ability to fill so important a post in the public services ; at the same time, it shail be my endeavor, ifelected, to make every effort to be useful to my const.tuents. In answer to the interrogatories proposed in your letter, I beg leaveto say, that I am decidedly in favor of euch an amendment of naturalization laws, as will require of all aliens a residence of twenty one years to entitle them to the exercise of the elective franchise. This measure seers to me to have become necessary, in consequence of the immense influx of foreigners iato our country, for the protection of native citizens, as well as these already nataralized, in the quiet enjoyment of their rights, und to insure the permanence of our most cherished institutions. {am also in favor of “the appointment, at all times, of native born American citizens to offices of honor, trust, or emolument, in any and every department of our gov- ernment”—considering that those who have grown up beneath the inflience of our institutions are the mos! likely to imbibe their spirit, and to act in conformity with the wishes of the American people: Closely cornected with these cardinul principles of po. litical action, I regard the necessity of a repeal ef the pre sent school laws of this State, so far as they relate to the public schoole of ourcity. The former system, sustain - ed, if not devised, the wisdom of a Clinton ands Tompkins, had worked well; under it, the public school» of this great city had become a source of pride to our citi zens ; for much favored as some portions ‘of our country are in respect to institutions ef this class, there was non+ that could boast of better regulated schools, or a more widely diffused system of frec education, than the eity of New York But a foul sectarian spirit, manifested in the eraons of a foreign prelate anv. a foreign priesthood, hus jaid violent hands on this most beneficent institution, and produced a change in its character, which has not only iminished its usefulness, but led to a wast-ful expendi- ture of the pubiic mon~ys, thereby increasing the alrea dy heavy burthens of our tax-paying citizens. | scarcely need add, that entertaining these views, I s:all, ifelected, use the most strenuous exertions in my power to effect 4 repeal of the present laws, and a return to the former ex- cellent system. In accepting, Gentlemen, this nomination from the American Republican Party, I shall become the candidate of no other, having no higher aspirations than to aid in romoting the great objects of our organization ; and | assure you and thm, that! shall ever consider it the proudest distinction of my life to receive the suppert of a party whose professed guide is the Bible, and whose standard is the Flag of our Couztry. I remain, gentlemen, With the highest respect, Your obedient servant, kc. GEORGE FOLSOM. To Benj.R Theall, Eeq President, and Edward Green aad Peter Squires, Secretar of the Am. R.p. Sena. torfal Convention, lst Di ‘ x Here the invited guests from Philadelphia passed the principal stand in three carriages, escorted by Ald. Cozzens, Major Prail, and other distinguished Fremont They were greeted with three loud cheers. Mr. Warren then proceeded: What is this mighty spirit? It is the spirit of 76. We are come to choose our own rulers. Our fathers didn’t goto Great Britain or Ireland to find a Washington or a Jefferson. No, w« found them on our own soil. (Cheering) We do not go to war with foreigners. We wage no war with any sect. I honor the devotion of the Catholic ; but we enter the field to put a stop to any clergyman coming down trom the pulpit to enter into the political arena.

Then none but American republicans shall resent the in- terests of this great metropolis in our legislative councils And we the Americsn republican party ef this district and county, and the American republican party only, shall elect them there; for we ae here in the full face of Heaven, and before this great and sovereign people, most solemnly end sincerely declare that we will not at this time, norever, enter into any coalition with either of the other great political bodies of the time we do further resolve, that if any among us shall ever at- tempt directly or indirectly to form an alliance; connive ‘at a coalition; enter into any compromise, or grant or ac know ledge any concession of principles, measures, policy, or men, with either the whig ordemocratic schools, the: sball by virtue of this solemn injunction, and the sacrec ense of the great American Republican party, be deemed and held aa traitors to ourcause, and most base and insi- dious foes to the true success of our principles.

While we r gard the Christian religion as the only le- gitimate element of civilized society, and the single basir of all good government, we are greatly opposed to the introduction of sectarian dogmas, into the science of ou: civil institutions or the incorporation of Church creed into the political compact of our government. We believe the Bible, without sectarian note or com- ment, to bea most proper and necet book, a8 well for our children as ourselves, and we are determined that they shall not be deprived of it neither in school nor out of achool, ‘We reverence and regard ev religions institution of our great community, and are disposed toextend a free nd impartial toleration to all.

Mr. Baxsr, of Padietphts was then introduced to the meetin; Teoeived with great cheering. He said :— Tole cengtn it New York, | ex) to find a great conconrse this night preparatory to one of the greatest electio: s that ever took place in this country ; but the assemblage is 80 much greater than I expected, that the old parties, if they feel as 1 do, must at once throw uy} their coons.

We were told that you had no chance this election—that you bad forgot your first love,and gone back, like the hog that was washe, to your original mires of the old parties.

Oh! but we are met by some of the old parties, and they tell us that we are sectarian How? Did you ever yet hear of a common cause that united baptista and episcopa- lians, presbyterians andjmethodists, and allinene? Can thia be sectarian? Oh! bul they refer you to matters h occurred in your cityand ours. But these were only collateral circumstances—we had no control over them We got tired of the old democratic path—it was Macadamized by the tread of those travel it tor gain only. So also with the whig road. We then hewed out for ourselves a new and open path. We began here acles—then went down a roc! id to the Baptists and to the Presbyterians, pnt no obstacle in our way. We havenothing todo with churches. But woe to the church that casts obstacles in our way. An effort waa madeto ploce out of our schools a Bible, which @ Washington read, which Jefferson perused, which the mother of Adamstoldhim even to read- ich @ conti- nental Congress sanctioned the printing of—this Bible was interfered with—that was not to be tolerated. Why then they turned round and seid, we were proscriptive. “ Proscription !” And how? Because we prefer certiain men—Decause we prefer a native ci'izem over an adopted one. Wnobrings thesecharges? The whigs? Are the whigs a to vote for ademocrat? Dothe democrats? Are they willing to vote fora whig? And yet they talk of “Proscription!” Oh! but they you are am un- grateful party. How? Why they say we want te ke«p thepoor irish out,who won the revolution for us No—it is not #0. Suppose they succeed in placing a Mont. gomery before a Washington, ere we to submit to that? No. By means of their Satine rush- lights they attempt to enlighten men who are bathed in the sunlight of American Republicanism. But they tell us there was no danger—and ask, in not this country the asylum of the oppressed oi all natiens?— Well, what sort of an “asylum” do the party leaders make of this country for the poor Irishman? Would to God this was the day of the triumph of old Ireland! But look how the Irish are treated by the politicians who 0) pose us! They treat them like dogs. We are the only party in this country that can be culled the friend of the foreigner. We would take from the grasp of political ad- venturers those poor foreigners, We propose to pass law? by which men may goto heaven or helijust as they pleases Who wishes to pluck asingle gem from the diadem of Washington? Oh, men and brethren, }@ who slander th # party, when you go to your knees confess that you nave maligned a party who would take to their hearis the foreigners who dome here. But, ob! shades of the im- mortal forbid that we should allow our childreo’s rights “0 be interferred with by foreign influence. Who that is atrue American will permit Grest Britair, or Ireland, or Continental © urope, with Prince Metteryich or the devil at their head, to exercise influence here. (Cheers) Mr. Baker then went on to show jas he said, what foreign ine fluence had done in Pailadelphia. He drew an aflecting picture of the desolation of many homes— of the misery of widows and orpbans—of the new made graves—all occasioned by foreign influ- ence. And concluded by exhorting his hearers to faithfulness and zeal in that cause in which they were engaged. He seid, that they could and would alter the nataralization la id then they would tell all foreign. ers that they were welcome to come to that “ Garden of Eden"—this country and to eat of al] trees but one, and that hed the ballot-box umongst its branches and the American eagle on its aR (Cheers) He trusted they understand by the fing nativeism had commenced in New York.

(Much applause amid which Mr. B resumed his seat ) ‘The public singer of the ‘‘ Native” party, Tomas De La Rex, was here called upon, and sang three sengs in succession, whicn strongly denounced the Irish. The burden of one of the songs which was loualy applauded, went as follows :— Americans will ne’er be slaves To those that had been slaves at home ; Sent from their country cross the waves, Sent hither by the Church of Rome.” Mere there were several calls for “ George Washington Dixon,” but Mr. Dixon. who was on the platform, chiefly engaged in keeping off a crowd of persons, whe were pressi tome some of the reperters, did not go forward. ‘The chairman calledfout several times, and was most assiduous in his attentions to the reporters, and hus doubt- less formed vals he opinion of the “ rights and duties” of the fraternity since the Jate meeting at the 3d ward, at which the Canoe pensiced) as he repeatedly directed the persons on the platform during the evening, not to incom- mode the gentlemen ef the press.
