From half past seven until eight a fine band on the balcony amused the persons present by playing several beautiful and enlivening airs, At eight o’clock the meeting was called to order, and Alder:nan Benson elected to preside. Mr. Henry Davis, the chairman of the Nominating Committee, hereupon delivered the report of that body, and recommended that Wn. V. Brady, and Joseph R. Taylor be elected by the whigs of New York to the offices of Mayor, and Alms House Commissioner. In reference to the selections made by the com- mittee, he said thathe knew Win. V: Brady for years—had served with him in. the Com- mon Council~knew his large whig heart— new that he represented the banner whig ward of New York, the 1th, with faithfulness.— His unwavering devotion to the whig cause, pointed him out as a fit candidate; and in select- ing him, the convention did no disparagement to other worthy members of the whig party. In re- ference to Mr. Taylor, all he would say was, that he believed the affairs of the Alms House could not be placed in better hands. At ull events, he thought that all would agree with him, thata change in that department, at least, of the city fo ernment, was much needed. According to the accounts published, the expenses of that de- partment last year, were $343 000; and in 1842, under the whig administration, they w ‘The News from Europe.

It would be better Arrival oy Packets. —Four ot five packet ships arrived at this port yesterday from Europe. The unnouncement of these arrivals created quite an excitement among the merchants. Among the arrivals yesterday was the fine packet ship Sheridan, Capt. Cornish, from Liver- pool. She sailed in company with the Souther- ner, for this port, and Wyoming, for Philadel- phia. These three vessels made about the same time across the great Atlantic race course. Our Teazer having obtained the news of the South- erner, neglected the Sheridan. Our harbor is now full of packets. One line, composed of four ships, has three of them in port. for us, as party men, if such things were to occur that they took place under locofoco administratration—-but he did not think they would occur under a whig gov- ernment. Mr. Greeley then glanced at some of the acts of the present corporation, and said that in one instance five or #ix thousand dollars were given away here and there for public meetings, and a large sum given to nen who had violated the law. for the purpose of paying the fines which the law inflicted on them for disobeying it. He thought the people at large were not so much actu- ated by party feelings, or shackled so much by party ties as they have been in other days, in consequence if their being more enlightened now than they used to be, He knew of thousands in this city on whom the shackles of party hang loose, and he argued the success of the whigy on ‘Tuesday He was informed no later than this day, by a member of that two thousand of them would vote for Brady, the whig candidate for Mayor, If they ir.

How has this debt been created? Look #t the aluts hotise expenses for the las} year, and you will see in wh: | manner the uffairs of the city have been conducted for a few years past. ‘They amount, the past year, to nearly three hundred thousand dollars. See what au item that is. On looking over the Comptroller’s report. | T was surprised to see some items in it. The expenses of the alms house are put down at $290,313 74-100. Now, let us see how this large sum is made up. The first arti- cle mentioned is batter, $4449. Then comes an item for fireworks, $300. Only think of fireworks at the alms house! _ In the name of heaven, what has the alms house to do with fireworks? The next item is $46,000, for donations to, and transportations of paupers. This large amount of donations has been distributed under the direction of a committee styled the “visiting committee,” and where are the vouchers toshow how it has been expended? Again, “medicine and surgical in- | struments $5430." Here we have over five thousand dollars expended for medicine for the Alms House. [ venture to say that Gen. ‘Taylor with all his force, aud with all the blood that has been spilt in the great battles in which be commanded would not require so much | money for medicine as is here set down for the Alms | House, Well we'll look at some more items. Flour $33,400. Beef $36.000. Coal, perk, etc.. making in all nearly one hundred thousand dollars, et in looking further I see a charge for ‘marketing’ of $4605. What under heaven is this for? One would suppose that after all the items for “ beef” “ pork’’ * medicine” and “ sur- ‘ical instrumen: all the * marketing” was done; but it appears it is not so. Well, let us look 4 little further. Stationery $953. Only think of 953 dollars worth of stationery being required by the inmates of the Alms House. And what was this’ for? Was it for providing 300 quires of paper for their correspondence? For what purpose can this large sum be charged for, not one of fifty of the paupers can write his own name? Well, again: | find an item “ sand,” $300. (Laughter.) What was this for? Egad, | suppose thie: sand was for drying the writing on the 300 quires of paper. (Laughter.) Now, fellow citizens, how much sand do you suppose $300 would purchase? Why, it woald purchase at least one-half of Coney Island. [Laughter.) 1 need not pursue the in- quiry any further } everything fs in the same way. Let us look, however, at one or two more items. Tobacco and snuff, $582 17. CLaughter.) Now, I am as willing as any man to support the poor, and provide for them comfortably ; but when the locofocos come to charge nearly $600 for snuff and tobacco for the use of the pau- ers, I think, fi mtlemen, it is all stuff. (Laughter.)— et us go oua little further. “ Wine, brandy, and beer, $3,153 81."’ This sum expended for brandy, wine and beer for the paupers! Well, gentlemen, ! suppose this sum went to cheer the disconsolate hearts of the pau- = | pers, But do you believe that they recolved it? or, if they did receive it, that it was proper to’ give {t to them? When items like these stare us in the face, te it not time to enquire, how ey have been expended? Well, su we go a little further sWhat comes noxt, “ $300 for feed.” Here, after charging us pretty roundly for * beef,” pork,” * flour,”” “imedieine aud. surgical fustramentss,” they ‘charge x $300 for “feed.” (Laughter.) And what is this “ feed’? for? One would suppose that the paupers had been pretty well fed from the other items, but it appears they were not—and to make up the deficiency $300 is insert td, Gentlemen, this is all nousense ; this item is merely filled in to stop @ gap. Another item is $80 for board at Blackwell's [sland ; I never knew that Blackwell's Island was a fashionable boarding placo- In the name of God who went to board there ? Can you, Ald. Benson, inform us, for I believe you are the oldest member of the board. (Laughter from all sides of the room.) But I should have thought that if any person had boarded there, that the amount of his board would have been credited to the city, (inasmuch as it is city property, and not d bited; but it is not #0. But I bave it—that $8) was for the board of Murphy, and the others who came down last fall, and voted the loeofoco ticket; and you, (addressing the chairman,) Alderman Benson, was the man who discovered it}; (Alderman Benson here laughed.) und I suppose the same gentlemen will come into the city on Tuesday next, to endeavor to vitiate the choice of the people, in selecting their municipal officers for next year. The next item is “board for sun- dry persons, $387... Who these sundry persons are docs not appear, but we may reasonably suppose that they are good and true locofocos. { would continue to extract further from this precious document, if time per- mitted—but I trust I have shown sufficient to prove that the government of this city could not be in worse hands than it is at present. Mr. ‘Talmadge then appealed to the whigs of New York to oust an administration that conducted the affairs of the city in the manner set forth in the Comptroller's report, and concluded amid much applause. Other speakers addressed the assemblage, but we can- not porsibly make room for their remarks to-day. Enthusiastic Gathering of the Natives. Pursuant to a call, the natives assembled last evening, at their head quarters, to respond to the nominations of E. G. Drake for Mayor, and Joun Luoyp for Alms House Commissioner. Before the hour for organising the meeting had arrived, the spacious hall wascrowded to excess, each appearing full of enthusiasm and ready for battle. Cartes Devor, Esq., ex-Alderman of the 17th ward, was called to the chair, while each ward was fully represented in the way of Vice Presidents, Secretaries, &c 3 The report of the nominating committees was then read by Major W. L. Prall. ‘ Davin E. Wieeter, Esq., in compliance with ageneral call, came forward and addressed the vast assemblage as follows :— Fellow-citizens :—It is hardly fair to bring a wounded man into the field of battle; nevertheless, in a good cause & man, even if wounded, may fight and accomplish a little. ' We have come here again for the purpose of sce- ing if there is in this mass still remaining a drop of American blood. We have come jhere to-night, to see if amid all the turmoil and strife of party, we can still raise the American flag and support it. We have come here to-night to sce if the mass of men who reside in this ‘at city will approve of the nomination of E. G. Drake for Mayor, also whether that gentleman shall have a General by his side to take care of the poor a# well as the rich, and it remains for you to say whether that shall be so or not. As I have been called upon to address you, permit me to say a word or two relative to the candidatea resented for your consideration and support. Mr. Drake isa man whom you all well know, and perhaps it would be insulting you, were I to say who he is. I would, however, say, that Mr. Drake was one of the men who went into the City Hall under our banner, and permit me to say that no man occupied s seat in the Common Council with more ability than he did. None performed their dutics moro faithfully thanhim. At the head of the most important committees, he labored incessantly and efficiently to free us, in some measure, from our present overburdened taxation, and when called upon to surrender to the peo- ple that office which they had given, he did so with the satisfaction of knowing that he had saved to the citi- zens of New York thousands and thousands of dollars. (‘The arrival of the Shiftiler club was here greeted with three hearty cheers, on the subsiding of which Mr. Wheeler proceeded.]’ Mr. Drake, after he had left the place, which he had filled with so much honor to himself retired, as it were, to private life. yet not without ob- serving, with a watchful eye, all that has been going on in our city affairs ; and I will tell you one fact, which I now callto mind,’ Mr. Drake caie into my office, one day, and inquired of me whether | was aware that the Board of Supervisors had passed a resolution to the ef- fect, that the holders or owners of United States stock should not be charged with a tax upon it? at the same time expressing his opinion that United States stock, aa held by rich men, should be taxed ax much as any other property, and wrote an able article on the sub- ject, which was’ published, and sent to all the ‘Supervisors. Mr. Brady, at the next meeting of the Board moved a reconsideration of the resolution, and member, with one exception, voted for it. ‘The conse- quence was that Mr, Brady was lauded in all the whig [aners for what he had accomplished, when in fact Mr. Drake was the man to whom the honor was due, the car rying out of Mr. D.’s views being the only great act that Mr. B. has done since he went into the Common Coun- cil. [ therefore ask you fellow-citizens which man should be voted for under such circumstances? Now | say that one item of fact to which | have alluded to demonstrates fitness of Mr. Drake to fill the office of mayor. Now for Mr, Lloyd—he has always lived amongst us, and has Deen long Known and favorably known ax an Ameri- can citizen and soldier, and if we dlected him to the office of Alms House commissioner as Americans, he will protect jourselves, our wives, and our chil- dren, He will’ uot only do it civilly, but milita- rily ; and if we are invaded by a foreign foe, he, as an American, in feeling, in hoart, would go forth to battle as a native of one of the old thirteen colonies, and do credit to himself, Now what have we to do! Nothing but to go manfully to the polls and vote for the men that we have nominaled, and when we have the right men in office, there is nothing to fear but we sbull soon reap the benefit of it, My friends, | did not come here to make a speech. | had no intention of doing #0; but. as Tam now before yo mit, me to allude toa thought which has presented itself to my mind. Within twelve short months from this time, whatever may happen to you or mo, a sufficient number of voters will be brought Trom foreign countries to make seven new independent States, With our present forebodings on this subject, we are led to inquire what is to become of us, what is Lo become of our laboring pop- lation, our hard working mechanics? Ou the subject of labor we have heard « great deal said about protection to the working classes, Now, | would ask the mechanic, the day laborer, if we are to have 250,000 foreign laborers ‘0 this and the adjoining cities within the \ twelve months, what is to be the price of your labor this is to be the refuge for all nations, | ask shall we not soon have to be sutistied with a shilling to twenty cents per day for our labor, Instead of getting a dollar and half per day for our labor? and keeping ourehildren at home or sending them to school toacquire a suitable edu- cation, ere they are a span high we shall be compelled to send them to the workshops to obtain for themselves a sub- xistence. I have often looked upon this subjectaud taking the view of it I do,there appears to be nuthing that can save us as o people sueuys by taking care of ourselves in every respect. In other parts of the world, children are boru in mines, fier under ground, aud never seo light, for the simple ronson that their fathers and mothers are so poorly paid that the poor little things cannot be spared to come up, but must work with their parents as soon us they are able, and aid in obtaining their own mis- erable subsistence. We are willing to send them money and flour, or other provisions, if they are un« able to procure it for themselves ; but we want good wages for our labor at home, instead of hav- ing it reduced to @ miserable pittance by the impor- tation of foreign competition. © * * " * * * * Ifanked by our political opponents what we expect to accomplish, we may accomplish much; and though they may have their twenty thousands and we our five thou- sande, we will say in the language of Gen. Taylor, * Wo never surrender,’ * * * * We ore going into tho ht, nat only for ourselves, byt for oxy who ore horn ‘us; our fing fs fur our nation, ands gloylous vie- tory will ultimately crown our efforts. (M. then took his seat amidst the most enthusiastic ‘The Hon. W. W.

In all ages, and amongst ull people, where there has been genuine patri- étism it has been accompanied by ardent love of coun- try. and attachment to the land of one’s birth, You can searcely conceive a people preservinix Uieif institttions unless a love fyr the land of their nativity prevails, Hence it has alwaya been from the earliest uges. from every record of history, for man toattach an ardent love for hils country ; it Is a striking feature of creatures and nations, We have lea in this country than we should have: the great effusion of foreigners ia the natu- ral cause of this, An incident oflove for country is record- din Holy Writ; I allude to the patriarch Jacob. who call- ed upon his sons to carry him back to the land of his fa- thers, where he wished to die and be buried. ‘This, how- ever, is not the time nor the occasion to dwell upon this subject. or the principles of the party to which we be- long. * * * We have met here to speak and act en- tirely upon matters that belong exclusively to our own city. We havea Mayor. Alms House Commissloner and Common Council to elect next week. There have been presented for your suffrage the names of the candidates selected, For Mayor, Mr. Drake, of the 8th ward, has been nominated; he who, as a member of the Common Council, two or three years ago, took measures to reduce taxation to a very large amount; and had he been permitted to have remained in the Board for « longer period, he would have saved thou- sands upon thousands of dollars. We have also an Alms House Commissioner to elect, and on this subject allow me to enquire what is the condition of the Alms House ? Init not Alled with foreign paupers? Are not the in- mates of the Alms House and Penitentiary almost wholly of foreign birth, and while they should not exceed one fifth of the whole, Almost allthe cities, towns, and vil- lages abroad are sending their paupers. here, and thus increasing your already over-burden taxation. Indeed, the expenditures of this city alone, exceed any entire State in the Union, with the exception of three. This is bad enough in all conscience, without having the pau pers and criminals sent by thousands, to support.— Now, gentlemen, we want reform in this department, and if we can but elect our candididates, we shall have it. In alluding to this, 1 would have you bear in mind, one fact—tho Native Common Counell on the day of election shut the door of the Alms House so that the paupers could not come out to vote without re- ceiving their discharge, and preferring the loaves‘and fishes to the privilege of voting on that day, they kept within. Put General Lloyd at the head of the Alms House Department and he will keep them straight. would. in conclusion, remark, that we may suffer a tem- heart that we are ri porary defeat. but I know in i} t, and being right, we shall evoutually prevail. When the revolution broke out wo had our defeats at Lexington and Bunker Hill, aud for seven lon, years our fathers struggled on, until law there was a Saratoga and a Yorktown victory. So we shall close it up in the end. Now, you have read of the ‘American army on the plains of Mexico. There Gun. Taylor, at the head of 5000 mon, has defeated 20.000, and I trust 5000 men in New York ‘will prove themsclvos a match for 20.000 also. I say we shall have » Buena Vista yet, and our 5000 meti will yet work wonders. Wo want hone of the chicken-hearted. Noman is good for any- thing who will leave us on account of a temporary de- feat. * * * After a few further romarks of encouragement to remain firm to the American republi- can party, Mr. Campbell offered the following resolu- tions, which were unanimously adopted :— Resolved, That, us American Republicans, wo regard with feelings of deep emotion the heroic and patriotic conduct of Major General Zachary Taylor. Thatin the battles which he has won, and in his correspondence and despatches, we have the best evidence of his capacity, and he seems to unite in an eminent degree the charac- ters of hero, patriot, and statesman. Resolved, ‘That we behold in him the embodiment of genuine American principles: and we do hereby nomi- nate him for the high office of President of the United States, and we do most earnestly recommend to the Con- vention, which assembles at Pittsburg next month, to presont his name to the American Republicans through- out the Union for their support. Thave but a word or two to aay, In modern timos, no man has come up to the sphere of action, or who has dis- tinguished himself as Gen. Zachary Taylor did in his battles at Buena Vista and Montery. He has given a character to. American arms and while he has distinguished himself in #0 high a degree aa a soldier, his despatches and writing s have shown that he not only understands fighting, but also diplomacy. That he will be our, next President I have not the slightest doubtr the people have taken him up.and his election would happily break down, in a great measure, the old party landmarks, i therefore trust under such auspices, that he will be spared to preside over this groat nation. Dr. Bens. C. Dutcner next addressed the meeting, and was succeeded by Gen. Lloyd; but we are unavolda- bly compelled to omit their remarks, at the close of which the meeting adjourned, and proceeded to the house of Mr. Drake and gave him three cheers, and tho samein the front of the Astor House and American Hotel. : Park Tuxatax.—The new comedy of “Ernestine,” on its third repetition last evening, was listened to with renewed interest, and grected with the warmest ap- plause. It was on the whole well sustained, gpd tho piece $ exceedingly well written. The langange is chaste and pointed, and the scenes spirited and effective —there is no straining after effect, but the plot is clearly and naturally devgloped—the humor is quiet, but felt— piece. ‘The deep sensibility and filial devotion of Ex- the simplicity and innocence and gay spirit of Marie, the manly, generous and feeling nature of the Viscount, and the sober, high minded and constant lover, Charles, were all happily drawn forth in this captivating piece. Wal- lack in Frederick, the lover first of every body, and at last of Marie, was in his element—he was all life and brilliancy—a coxcomb, thoughtless, vain and dissipated, sacrificing his character and fortune to his pleasures ; with few redeeming virtues except good nature, wit and agay and reckless humor, the enemy, however, of nobody but himself, and with all his vicos and follies able to love and appreciate innocence and delicacy and tenderness in woman—such is Frederick—und it was most spiritedly and gracefully played by Wallack. His mistake as to his uncle's bride, whom he thought designed for himself, lect creditors, his very his constant allusions to {hi nice and physiologi with the young Marie before her—“Twenty-seven, im- possible !" en his uncle promised him a» fortune equal to double the amount of his debts, bis eagorness to add to their list many large one, omitted, as ho alledged, when he had handed it in tohis uncle—these, with many other points of humor told well, and caused shouts of laughter and applause.

England, where he proposes to give a serics of “ American evenings.” in which he will lecture on the state of society and literature in the United States.— Mr. Vandenhoff's long residence here, and his attain- ments as ascholar and a gentleman, render him emi- nently well qualified to do justice to the subject, and he will dispel the many prejudices that exist in England regarding America, and every thing connected with it.
