In our paper of yesterday, we published a gra- phic report of the proceedings that took place at | the locofoco meeting at Tammany Hall, on Wed- | nesday evening last—when the proceedings were | not conducted with that degree of harmony and enthusiasm, which this party have invariably laid | claim to. Mike Walsh insisted upon his right to | address the meeting when called upon, and in | spite of a good deal of opposition, and amid much | confusion and disorder, he succeeded, with the | aid of his friends, in obtaining possession of the | Speakers’ stand, and holding it until he saw fit to | Withdraw. | The meeting was called ostensibly for the pur- pose of congratulating the party on the passage of | the Sub Treasury, Tariff, and other democratic measures in the last Congress; but among tke | resolutions proposed, was one laudatory of Silas Wright, which was put forth as a feeler to the | public. This resolution was hissed a good deal, and from the tone of those assembled, it was man- | ifest thatthe present executive of the Empire | State, does not possess the united confidence and raspect of the party in this city; but of this we shall see. Whether he will receive the re-nomination for that office or not, it is impossi- | ble to sa. present. It is characteristic of the | democratic party to be disunited and split into | sections aad fractions on the eve of every election, | bat the leaders and wire-pullers, who manage | matters in council and conclave, are gifted with the peculiar faculty of uniting the most discordant elements, and marching in a solid phalanx to the polls when the real tug of war comes on. In this respect, the party have an advantage over nts, the whigs—who, of late years, | rival the democrats in the number of sectiona | parties into which they are divided. The whig leaders have not the talent of quelling | their oppor Dickerings and sectional animosities, and hence | arises the fact that, with a numerical preponder- ance throughout the country, they are rarely sac cessful in electing their candidates. A few short week fore the last Presidential election, Henry Clay, it'was supposed by all parties, would have | been carried into the Executive chair with a | force equal to that of a whirlwind. He was no- | minated under much the same circumstances, as | Harrison was, and would have been triamphantly returned, only for the cut-throat policy adopted by the leaders of the party, and their organg throughout the whole length and breadth of the land. Disunion, want of confidence, an ingredi- | ent essentially necessary to success in politica, parties, qs well as in individuals, followed, the con- sequence of which was, that the timid and wavering, together with those who lost confidence in the party, deserted Mr. Clay, and went over to the opposite ranks, their preponderating influence carrying Mr. Polk into the office which his oppo- nent would have oceupied beyond question, if the | party had been united. The same disastrous influences exist at the pre- sent time, only in a greater degree. | 700 American, and have exported 500 bales. | bales, consisting of 800 Bahia, were sold at 6d 10 “TELEGRAPHIC SPEED. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM SHIP BRITANNIA. AT BOSTON. HALF A MONTH LATER FROM EUROPE, ARRIVAL HOME OF THE HON. LOUIS MeLANE, THE COTTON MARKET. The Result of the Race of the CAMBRIA AND GREAT BRITAIN. ADVANCE IN IRON. THE ELECTIONS IN FRANCE. The American Tariff in England. §e., §e., §e. The steamship Britannia, Capt. Hewitt, arrived | at Boston at 1 o’elock yesterday afternoon. She left Liverpool on the 19th ult. The news received by her was telegraphed, in sections and sentences, to this city during the eve- ning. Itdoesnot appear to be of any real im- portance, ‘The Hon. Mr. McLane has returned. He came as passenger in the Britannia. He left England | much respected, and the loss of his society will | be sincerely regretted by those Americans who have experienced his courteous hospitalities. The cotton market had been in a quiescent state The sales on the 18th, at Liverpool, were estimated at 6000 bales. Speculators have taken 1000 | 6jd, and 100 Pernam, at 6} to 6j have been taken for the trade. The market closed steadily. In the manufacturing districts business is by no means active.. The news, however, recently re- ceived from the United States, would give a new impetus to trade. The money market was easy, and for business, cash can be had very readily. The produce markets were tolerably active, both as regards the home and export trade. It was expected that Pailiament would rise about the 28th of August. On the 17th, the House of Lords passed the su- gar bill. The destitution in Ireland had occupied the | House of Commons. A sum has been appropriated for the employ- ment of the poor of Ireland. The French elections have terminated, and great has been the success of the Guizot Ministry. The majority in the new Chambers expected to be 100, and may possibly reach 110 votes. The King had opened the Chambers with a short speech. In England there have been frequent storms and great falls of rain, which have injured the creps severely. Several markets have experienced the effect of the liberal tanff which goes into operation in the United States on the first of December. Iron has already advanced in price, and the woollen man- ufactures of Yorkshire are firm and improving. The Cobden testimonial has reached £6,500. No more ? A public meeting has lately been held in Lon- | don, for the purpose of taking measures to prevent the spread of disease. Although some contended that a few cases of Asiatic cholera had appeared, the general feeling of the meeting was opposed to the conclusion. Indian corn has risen to $2 shillings a quarter. The accounts of the potato crop continue to be disastrous. The new Papal tariff makes great reductions on woollen manufactures, cotton goods, sugar and There are at present three or four newspapers | assuming to be the organs of the whigs in this | State, yet the doctrines promulgated by each are | totally hostile to and inconsistent with whig prin- | ciples. One undertakes to engraft on the whig | creed the most fantastical and absurd theories of | government and human institutions that ever | emanated from the brain of the wildest vision- ary. Another undertakes te read this paper out of the party, and in his efforts to succeed in his purposes, descends to the lowest and most abject means. Ithas used and re-used the vo- | cabulary of Billingsgate, and made personal | attacks, and resorted to other means com- | pletely inconsistent with the legitimate office | of journalism in the nineteenth century.— As must be expected, disunion and disorder among the party, bickerings and jealousies among the editors engaged in personal disputation, ensue; the result of all of which will be, that, unless the whig party cut adrift those excrescences, the loco- will, as heretofore, carry the Empire State ‘at the next election, and control the elections | throughout the rest of the States for an unlimited time to come. We have repeatedly called the | attention of the respectable and reasonable part | of the whigs to 'hese things, and the disasters that | would follow if they were allowed to continue; | but there appears to be a fatality in that party which can never be surmounted. The teachings of experience, the lessons learned by severe and | useful experience, are lost, and every year the same evils are allowed to exist. The campaign has been opened, too, by the whigs. At u distance we hear the rattling of | musketry, which indicates that their forces are | preparing for a general attack. Calls for primary meetings have been published, soliciting the people to assemble and elect delegates to repre- sent them in convention. It will be seen, therefore, that the two great parties are in the field for the next election, ‘armed and equipped as the law directs.” The straygle will be interesting to the calm observer, and to honest people of all creeds. We may expect the usual amount of falsehood, hypocrisy, unfair dealing, gasconade and humbug, that we | have heretofore witnessed on such occasions, and | which, it would.appear, are as necessary to car- | rying on a political campaign, as fuel is necessary to furnish the steam for prop:=lling the mammoth iron steamship Great Britain and her noble Captain across the “ salt says.” Navat.--By the Amelia Mulbolland, Captain | Dixey, from Rio Janeiro, we have dates from that | place to the 25th of July.

We have never seen a Julia that came so near our con- ception of the part as Mrs. Kean’s, although this is rather | complimenting ourselves than the lady. Her “ Do it,” was very impressive, and what seldom happens, not overdone. Mr. Kean’s Sir Thomas Clifford was just | what it ought to be, impressive enough, but not too much so.

Neafie caught a spark of the fire which animated his fair country woman, and shared with her the vation of the audience. Clarke as Glavis, and Col- ames, are worthy of commendation. ‘The play throughout was very well acted. Gaeeswich Tueatre.—The splendid bill offered by the manager last evening, drew together a very respect- able audience ; and the play of‘‘ Romeo and Juliet” was | well performed. Of Mr. Freer's performance, it is un- | necessary to speak, as he is already stamped as a supe- | rior actor. The Juliet of Mrs George Jones was a per- fect delineation of character, seldom met with on any Julia Drake improves nightly, and with dy will yet take a high rank in her profes sion. This evening a most excellent bill is presented The performances commence with the laugnable bi letta, entitled the ‘Rio Grande Volunteer,” and its local | scenes will be readily recognised and admired by New Yorkers. The melo dramatic opera of “Rob Roy” will follow, and the evening’s amusement will conclude with H. P. Grattan’s celebrated drama of the “‘Corsair’s Re- | venge” Three sterling pieces like these, are rarely combined in one evening’s bill, and we are sure of meet- | ing a crowded house.

The greater part of the musical pro- fessors of the city were present at their rehearsal yester- day, and the performances of the young artistes, theugh heard under somewhat unfavorable circumstances. were received with a perfect furor ofcommendation. The ex- ecution of the little girl’ of eight. who played in a chaste and scientific manner the most difficult 8 of music, surpasces all praise ; and the w 4 manner of the whole prepossesses one in their favor, even if their music did not enchant. We understand that their first concer: will take piece sometime next week, and it is to be hoped that the citizens of our city will come forward lil ly and justly to the sustaining and furthering the efferts of these children, who, if by success are enabled to go on with their practical studies, will be, without doubt, at a future day, a credit to the country and to the city which aided them. ” ‘The Alleghanians propose giving a series of concerts in Boston in a few days.

Our Mrutany Visiters-—The Easton Fe: Company from Philadelphia, commanded by Captain An” drew H. Reeder, arrived at Jersey City. yesterday about 4P.M. They were met there by the New York City Guard, commanded by Captain McArdle, and escorted to this city. On arriving at Courtland street, both compa- nies formed and marched through Greenwich street to the Battery, preceded by Dodworth’s celebrated band.— His Honor, the Mayor, arrived at the Battery about the same time, after which both companies performed the usual evolutions under the direction of Captain McArdle, with a promptness and precision that would have done honor to the oldest veterans inthe service. His Honor then addressed Captains Reeder and McArdle, and ex- pressed himeelf highly pleased with the high state of dis- Cipline and soldier like appesrance of both companies, and invited the Fencibles to the pany. Hotel, to partake of some refreshments. After they had refreshed them- selves, they returned to the Battery, formed, and marched to the Courtland street, where th to remain during their sojourn in this city. The Fencibles are a fine set of young men, numbering thirty-six to forty muskets; uniform blue, turned up with red. Their soldier-like appearance, and the steadi- d precision with which they went’ through their evolutions, indicate a high state of discipline, and mi | very favorable impression on the large concourse of pei sons assembled on the Battery to welcome their arrival. ‘We learn that Cupt.

After being some time at sea,as he was everhauling his cabin stores, he thought more bottles were mis-ing than he could re- member of having used.

To ascertain the truth of his suspicion he concealed himself in a state room, and waited until the time fer preparing dinner.— ‘The boy soen came in, and og the table, nt to the basket, took outa bottle, and said, “ Jean ven Dorsten, born in Rotterdam, intends marriage with Miss Rosina Claret, born, in Burgusdy.

Dorr, the report, the committee rose | and reported, deferring any action upon the report until j he judges of ‘The Meeting at Tammany Hali—Speeth of Thomas Dunn English. The full report of Thomas Dunn English’s re- marks, at the Tammany meeting, on Wednesday night, as taken by another reporter, was mislaid, and an imperfect sketch given. We are desirous of presenting our readers with a correct tran- script of what passes; hence the fall report below :— Mr. Ewctisw rose and said—That he expected the mecting had assembled not for the pu: of creating disorder, or contesting about te rights, but in the words of the call for the meeting, to express our senti- | ments in relation to the measures that have recently | passed both houses of Congress. If that be the purpose | tur which the meeting was called, and if there is a de- sire on the part of those present to hear me, [ will speak to you en those subjects; if not, | will go. { we have assembled for the most august purpose that can call the people together in assembly—to examine, discuss and decide upon the doings of our public servants. ‘That it is our rght and duty thus to do, is a source of pride and pleasure. Yet, with this there is 9 regret mingled—regret that a high funetiona- ry of this government has been attacked because | We dared to do his duty—regret to hear men as- | sume the strange position that a Vice President repre- sents the monopolists of one Stgte, and not the poopie of a whole confederacy. 1 trust, however, despite of the uproar that has for a while disturbed our action, that the unanimity and enthusiasm which will mark this night's proceedings, will teach monopolists and their adherents a bitter lesson— form public men that the policy to be adhered to is the one arising from their honest convic- i ‘and will demonstrate the joy and good feeling of th ocracy at having carried those cardinal measures for which they contended in the canvass of 1844. (Ap- plause.) Important measures call for our attentioo—mea- suresjwhose imprints are to be left on our national pros- perity and character, and of these | consider the existing ‘war and the new tariff of duties more important, because more immediate in their operations and results than the treaty, the warehousing bill, or the independent treasu- ry. 1 do not propose to discuss the origin of the war It ig enough that it exists, to ensure it a cordial support from the people—not a partizan, buta nations! support The true men of all parties—ditfer as they may, and they have a right to do, on matters of State policy, wili unite maofully one end—will join to prosecute the war with vigor, and to obtain compensati ji ries at the hand of Mexico. That we nally insulted and aggrieved by our neighbor, is so plain- ly to ve seen, that he is wilfully bliad who sees it not. Here the speaker pitched into Horace Greeley.) No others oppose .the war. For however mem may differ about causes and conduct, they inus: admit the war itself to be, as Caleb Cushing would say—‘a fixed fact.” (Cheers) There is no ing that ; and to oppose its triumphant progress is to commtt treason ; none the less treason, because it does not fall within the letter of the. definition. The war will go on, nevertheless, in spite of these men, who mourn over our victories, andexult over our reverses ; who croak, li! ravens, of coming defeat and disaster. Satisfaction tor our injuries will be obtained by our countrymen in arms And the result will benefit those we contend with, for it will teach respect for free governments, and disseminate a knowledge of liberal principles. (Cheers.) The great party feature of the session, was the adjustment of a ta- riff of duties, For my own part, I would rather be taxed directly, than indirectly ; would rather know how much Thad ty’ pay,w hetber litle or great, to the support of go- vernment. As this is no:ot be the case, I Low to the will of the majority.

We in sustaining the government, whose sovereignty is merely a trust from us, the people—but, if we suffer our representatives to enact laws for the benefit of the few and the injury of the many, we en- courege a species of legislation, in direct violation of nationalcompact.

(Man in the crowd “Its aalie. You're a native, and I can prove it.”) The charge that I am or was, of the mative faction, is too ab- surd to be noticed. (Here the man said something we could not distinguish, and a tall man, apparently a Seuth- erner, shook his fist at the drunken man, and said—‘ Ef you don’t like what the genileman’s ii forced to swallow it.

And much should | popular indignation visit those who assail un executive | officer for having performed with nerve and fidelity, a | trust accidentally arising from a provision in the Consti- tution. If such conduct were to pass unchecked, we might as well have no public morality; petty larceny might be considered as a prime joke, and picking pock. elegant accomplishment. (Laughter ) th e sertion of the whigs which amuses me, i Its would be, could it be forced on popular cre- dulity.

(Laughter) He used just as gi ic as the whigs, aud demonstrated his positions incontrovert bly. There was, to be sure, some difference in the relative situations ofthe two.

Sep. 1, 1846. x0. Law, 10 Union Prace. Iam much surprised at such a challenge from the hands of Mr. Law, the reputed owner of the Oregon. This question, I supposed, was at rest, asa sufficient trial of speed was made to satisfy the whole community that the Atlantic was the faster boat byjnearly one mile per hour. I suppo- sed that it was a question decided so conclusively as to leave no roomffor doubr, and have since con- tinued to rou the travélling community every as- surance that I should race no more while in my regular course of business, and I have the vanit} to suppose that credit is given to my word ‘Whent assit. But it Mr. Law is desirous of having one lucther trial of speed, [ will endeavor to accommo- date him. I cannot take my boat from the line she now fills as long as the business season lasts, and to run races to i gcnagpe the lives of passengers, } will not consent to. But, at my request, I have permission to Eratify the O: gentlemen with arace after ember, at which time she will withdraw from her preagnt line for the winter.— Then IJ will ran him a race from Throg’s Point around the Light Boat, at New ication and back, on a given day, which is straight work both ways, therefore there can no advantage taken by either party. This race I will run for amuse- |, Ment, or a reasonable amount ofmoney. I mere) make this proposition to ee, his (Wir. Law’s) curiosity, as 1 am satisfied of the event.

The stock market continues very much depressed, why were governments made, but to aid the weak and@®nd prices are declining slowly. There was but a very trifling variation to-day from those current yesterday, but operators are so little disposed to make transactions, that we see at present no possibility of an improvement. At the second board the sales were small and at the running prices. The value of merchandise exported from this port fer the month of August, 1946, was as annexed :— Commerce or tHe Pont or New Yorx—Vavur oF Exronts. Demestic merchandise.

It was anticipa- ted, just previous to the passage of the new tariff bill, that in the event of the passage of that act, great quanti- ties of foreign merchandise would be exported for the drawback, and re-imported under the new tariff at the reduced duty, but the Secretary has put a veto upon that movement. He has issued a circular to collectors cautioning them to be on the look out for these movements, as it is the intention of the department to | check them as far as possible. This will tend to preserve | | ) | the revenue of the government to avery great extent. The subscription to the capital stock of the Hudson River Railroad progress very well. About three hun- dred thousand dollars have been subscribed in this city within the past three days, and if the subscriptions at other places have een in proportion, the amount already subscribed cannot be much less than one million of dol- lars. To make the thing sure, at least one and a half of | the three millions required should be taken in this city. ‘The subscriptions already made in this city have been | in large lots, although some of our heaviest capitalista have not yet put their names down for ashare. These men generally hold back until the last moment, and then | come in and fill up the emount. This is bad policy.

There are more than a dozen individuals in this city, who could and should put their that would ensurea further subscription for an equal | amount from other citizens, making an aggregate of two and a half millions from the city of New York. In relation to the importance of the construction of this road to this city, and the value of it as an investment, we annex further extracts from a pamphlet published by order of the Directors and Commissioners, setiing forth the estimated expense of transportation, and the euperi- ority in speed and certainty of passage by railroad over steamboats.
