The Buffalo Convention and its Proceedin: The Buffalo Convention, which meets next Wed- nesday, Will be an assembly of great importance; and will, no doubt, exercise considerable influence an the great political contest now pending in this country. Its sayings and its doings, its speeches and its reports, its scenes and its votes, will all have an important bearing on the ensuing Presi- dential election. In order, therefore, to gratify the public curiosity with regard to 1ts movements, we have just completed the most extensive ar- rangements fora full and accurate report of the proceedings; arrangements which will be found from m: stance.

He has intemperately run through his means, and now finds himself in a state of pover- ty, the same consequence which follows intem- perance in drinking. We hope he will be able to recruit his finances when he comes to this coun- try, as that celebrated and artful temperance lec- turer, John B. Gough; has done. This gentle- man, as our readers are aware, has been engaged in delivering temperance lectures throughout the country for the last two or three years, and de- tailing his own experience in swallowing rum, some drugged and some pure, at a regular salary; and so laboriously has he worked, that he has succeeded in amassing sufficient to purchase him- self a farm in the State of Massachusetts, on which he. intends to settle down for the remainder ot his life. Gough evidently has an eye to the main ehance, and seems to know well enough how to take care of the unit. We are indebted to Charles H. Delavan, Esq., for the following interesting statisties on temper- ance:— There are at precent in England, Ireland and Scot- land eight hundred and fifty temperance societies, with one million six hundred and forty thousand mem- bers. In the Canadas, Nova Scotia and New Bruns- wick, thereare nine hundred and fifty temperance #0- cieties, with three hundred and seventy thousand members In South America there are seventeen thou- sand persons who have signed the temperance pledge. In Germany there are fifteen hundred temperance &0- cieties, with one million three hundred thousand mem- bers, In Sweden and Norway there are five hundred and ten temperance societies, with one hundred and twenty thourand members, In the Sandwich Islands there are five thourand persons who have signed the pledge of total abstinence, At the Cape of Good Hope there are nine hundred pledged members. It is ascer- tained that upwards of seven thousand persons annu- ally perish in Great Britain through accidents, while drank; and the Icss to the working classes alone. through drinking, uppears to be annually five hundre ane filty millions of dollars. ‘The enormous sum of four hundred and ninety millions of doliars was ex- ended in Great Britain last year for intoxicating verages, and five hundred and twenty millions of gal- lons of malt liquors were brewed last year in Great Bri- tein, Inthe United States there are three thousand seven hundred and ten temperance societies, with two million six hundred and fifteen thousand members. which includes the Sons of Temperance. In Russia ali temperance societies are strictly forbidden by the Em- peror. In Prussia, Austria, and Italy, there are no temperance societies. In’ France, the temperance more complete and more eflective than those of any other journal in the country. Yet we do not mean to overload and sieken our readers and the public with all the stale, uninteresting, stupid, and silly Buncombe vrations, that may be shot, like rubbish, at the devoted heads of the collective wis- dom assembled. But all that is worth reporting, and all that is worth remarking at this convention, shall be fully, fairly and, rapidly given to the pub- lic, irrespective of the political views of any party or class of which it may be composed. It is anticipated, from the number and variety of the sects and factions which have united toge- ther in convening this body, that the convention iteelf will be a scene of great uproar and confu- sion; in fact, more like one of the mass meetings occasionally held at Vauxhall Garden, the Park, and Tammany Hall, than a steady, sober conven- tion of honest and thoughtful men, met to debate on the course most advisable for the country to adopt at the coming periodical delegation of the executive power. Whatever character, however, this body may assume, our arrangements are such that we can confidently assert no journal, through- out this great republic, will be able to come within any calculable degree of the accu- racy of the completeness and the —ravidpae.af will fave, in our columns, a perfect daguerreo- type of every speech and every incident.. Its most | important votes and decis by the electric tel »h, 1f we can succeed in im- pressing upon te conductors of that instrument the necessity of accuracy, despatch and industry, in attending to their particular business. This full report—such as no other establishment in this city, or in the country, generally attempts—will be subsequently furnished in the Weekly Herald, im- mediately after the close of the convention ; that all persons throughout the whole Union may have an opportunity of beceming acquainted with the proceedings of the motley array of politicians who are, next week, to compete in deafening chorus, with the neighboring torrents of Niagara. We have made these preparations and intend to carry them out, in consequence of the important bearmg which this convention may have on the uing Presidential election. The proceedings of wo conventions—Baltimore and Philadelphia— are already before the public, and their merits carefully scanned ; but there is a vast number of the people who have yet to make up their minds, a8 to the course most proper for them to pursue, in this political struggle. The Duilalo Convention will complete the series of these movements; and we have been induced to make this eflort, to ob- tain a fulland accurate account of what may take place, that al! parties, and factions, and cliques, and influences, 1 ud revealed before the world, in their naked ,»opertions, without concealment or dieguive, so that the public may be enabled to pro- n their respective merits, with a full of ir professions and their preten- Hence the importance of a full report of ilo Convention, which, either by itself or ns we shall procure nownee up knowlec sions the Bu » chemice-) litical affimties it may generate, more serious ultimate in- ence than we are yet aware of TION IN IRELAND.—It | os imtended to commence this revo- ion, it must be commenced before Tue Trrearexen Revo: lation, this time last accounts, it appears that Lord Jol on the 21st of July, gave notice that he would the next day bring in a bill to ena- the Lord Lieut of Ireland for the time er chief governors | being, to arrest and um- | prion until the Ist of March next, all persons sus | peeted of a deaiza to ¢ rant, 0} nge the existing govern- sion of the writ of hy ir signed especially to operate on their leaders, There will be no opposition to it, and it willof course, be ran nthe course of a few t was brovght in on the was, it 27th ult Under this law, ail the leaders of the clubs, and abl other suspected per n be arrested and kept im preon without bail or mainprize, natil next March.

A careful examination of them suggests much thought and reflection. them on some other occasion. Tur New Cope or Procepure.—We believe | 8 the New York bar, generaily speaking, are dis- satistied with the workings of the new code. They say that it has thrown the law business of the State into hopeless confusion, causing delay and expense to suitors, and disappointment and vexation to the profession. Take, as an instance, a case that occurred in the Marine Court a day or twosince. A sued ]}, on a building contract, for $42. B pleaded a set off, and produced an account of monies paid to A, amounting to $1500; upon which B's counsel moved to dismiss the suit, under the new code, the accounts put in issue by both parties amounting to over $400. The judge | had no alternative ; and he was obliged to send the plaintiff out of court, without a trial of his | cause on the merits. In this instance, if the plain- tif! has an honest claim, he must relinquish it al- together, or go into one of the superior coarts, at an expense of treble the sum he sues for, and then run the risk fof being delayed one, two, or px haps three years. This, we think, the gentlemen | who framed the new code, will, themselves, admit to be an evil, and one that requires a speedy reme- dy. But, notwithstanding that, in its details, it is objectionable, and likely to cause a great deal of trouble, still it contains some excellent provisions, both in regard to lessening expense, simplif the pleadings in suits at law, and in gnarding honest creditors against the frauds and chicanery of their debtors. In connection with debtor and creditor, we find the following provision, under the head of * Confession of Judgment without Ac- tion” :— Seotiont335, tered without # onfession, may be en- x money due, or to be- person against contingunt aif of the defendant, or both, in the manner prescribed by this chapter, Scetion A statement, in writing, must be made. signed by the defendant, and verified by his oath, tothe following effect : First, it must state the | amount for which judgment may be enterod, and aa- thorize the entry of the judgment therefore ; second, if it be for money due, or to become due, it must state, concisely, the facts out of which it arose. and must shew that the rum conferred therefe is Jostly due, or to become dne ; ewing the plaintiff ag: contingent must etate, concisely, the facts consituting the lia- bility. and must show that the sum confeerod therefor does not exceed the same ‘This provision, we apprehend, will be found to d wholesome one; and much eredit is e codefiers tor introducing it.

It was a ludicrous sight to be sure. There were a couple of hundred volunteers, in a state of perfect raggedness; some with shoes and some without any; some with rancheros’ straw hats and some with small glazed caps; some with red flannel shirts | ceive an immense majorit; and some without any—and these were the poor fellows in whose honor that great demonstration | great success of ballet lately, and that this species cs It was remarked | Of light, refined amusement, is much appreciated by | they left the Five Points, and took up their abode in a was made at so much expense. k by many that the money which the demonstration cost would be much better expended, if it were given to the volunteers in the shape of some decent clothes, and boots and shoes, with which to cover their nakedness; and, indeed, it would have been much better; but those who made those remarks were satisfied that the Common Council would do something for them. A day or two afterwards, a resolution was introduced into the Common Coun- cil appropmiating five thousand dollars out of the city treasury to thour relief, but it was laid on the table, from which it has not been taken to thisday, and in all probability never will. This is the way in which the volunteers have been treated by the present Common Council; but the worst feature of the business is yet to be told. After refusing to pass the resolution appropriating five thousand dellars to their relief, they, or at least the Mayer of the city for them, got up a subscription among our citizens, for the purpose of providing the volunteers with decent clothing. They retuse to appropriate the people’s money in one way, for the benefit of a portion of the same people, andthe most deserving portion too; but they goaround town with a paper in their hands, begging a dollar here and fifty cents there from our private citizens.— Out upon such humbug!

Indignation Meeting of the Omnibus Drivers. Pursuant to notice, about five hundred of the stage- drivers of the city met, yesterday morning, at Consti- tution Hall, Broadway, for the purpose of adopting measures to remove the oppressive restrictions which have, of late, been laid upon them by the proprietors of the various stage lines of the city. The meeting was organized by ealling Gronce Anxtuony to the chair, and appointing Cuester Srraavue Secretary. The object of the meeting was then stated by the Chairman, who said, that at a recent meeting of the proprietors, resolutions had been adopted, to the effect that if a driver should, by any cause, be discharged from one line, he could not get employment on any other, unless by the written re- commendation of his late employer. That the inte- grity and honesty of the drivers had been impeached ; and to secure justice to themselves, the proprie! ors had determined to place an instrument upon each of their stages, which, they said, would tell exactly how many persons got into or out of the beret It was ne- cessary, he thought, for'an understanding to be had among the drivers, and measures taken that they mij sid be placed entirely at the mercy of the pro- rietors. 9 One of the drivers present then rose, and stated that Messrs. Mackerel and Simpson, of the East Broadway line, had not, nor would not, enter into the combina- tion egainst the drivers, but were willing to pay their mena reasonable price for their labor, which was re- ceived with marks of approbation. Mr. Ina Davis was called upon, who rose and said:— He was indeed sorry that they were obliged to call their meeting on the Sabbath; but such was their employ- Mont that it was impossible to meet at any other time, and have a fair representation from all the stage line: of the city. The proprietors had resorted to means which were calculated See. the driver even beneath aleyel with the negroes of the South. They had every few days been subject to the Sioleeatns of the public, and the press had indulged inthe most denunciatory language with regard to their conduct, when they were obeying the commands of their employers. They had to bear all the burden of the blame, for obeying the di- rections given them, while the proprietors escaped. It was necessary to do something, and that something should be done with determination. If the proprietors would not rescind the resolutions recently adopted by them, the drivers would be compelled to assert their own ‘rights, and stand boldly by them. In 1838, the proprietors began their oppressions, and an attempt was then made to crush the drivers, who revolted, and for a time acted like men should act; but there were those who entered into arrangements with the propri- etors,and the movement of the drivers proved a fail- ure. If the drivers would act boldly in the matter, even now they might get the stages in their own hands, and those who were now growing rich upon their har labor, would soon find the necessity of dealing justly with thore in their service. | “On motion, a committce of two from each stage lino was appointed to draft and report resolutions by which | they would be governed. The committee retired, and in a short time returned the following preamble ‘and resolutions, which were upanimously adopted:— Whereas, The proprietors of the various stage lines of the city, Prith one of two honorable exceptions at a recent meeting held by them, adopted such rules and jons as are not only cal- culated to cast discredit upon the driver, but als for an allered offence, a proprietor may dischargehim or them from emp‘oyment, and the chligations are such that he or they cannot get employ: | ment on any other line in the elty ; and whereas, the drivers of te long been subject to the displeasure of the public, Patrons of the stages, because of their strict adberence to the 8 of the proprictors ; therefore, J, That we look upon the recent resolutions of the proprietors as oppressive in the extreme, and only calculated to cast # deeyer degradation upon the drivers than that they haye | already fa/len into by their strict rezard to the commands of the | will be produced, and several new performers will make | proprietors, To-night the orite piece of “ Nick of the Woods" will be played, In the first piece, Mr. T.

Scenes at tur Purtapeuenia Rartnoav Derot.— There are uently, when the afternoon train leaves for Philadelphia, some amusing scenes among the“ bag- | gage smashers,’’ and other loafers, at the foot of Libert; street. Ovor each door leading to the bridge, there is autioning passengers against paying for the of their baggage from the carriages to the removal office, when it is checked. A few evenings since a | | gentleman going on to Philadelphia left his valise in the care of the porter, at the hotel where he stopped. to be taken to the depot, and took a stroll with a friend, | intending to reach the depot in time to take care of | it. When he reached the office the porter was not there. and, as a matter of course, he looked around to see if he was coming. One of the most miserable of the baggage fraternity, who bore the appearance of having n in the “ jovial mood” for at least a month, | with a tremendous gash across his nose, the effect of a | recent fall or fight, stepped up to him and said. “ Your baggage ain’t down yi.” The gentleman asked him how he knew. ‘Why,’ said he, “none ef ‘em | ain't come from the Astor House yit."’ ‘The gen- tlerman manifested a disposition not to notice him, and cast his eyes vp to the caution, which was | at once abies by the baggage man, who cried sout, “Oh, ear, don’t miad that; and don't work fer no man that don’t pay.” By this time a man, wearing a star, made his appearance. and the old fel: low quietly moved off. The place is constantly | thronged with boys having cheap publications, and | every passenger is accosted with “have a book, sir, | first’rate ard cheap,’ @nd rcarce has he done. when an old we steps up, witha basket of withered | fruit, crying “a few more left,’ importuning every one | to taste of her “delicious” fruit. And that great nui- | sance, which haunts every street and lane, in the city, a virty, ragged woman, with a tickly-looking baby, whieh the has probably borrowed for the occasion, will | plead her poverty, and ask “a little to help the old woman along.” “Some of them will say they have a large family of children at howe, who have had nothing to cat for the laet twenty-four hours.

No sooner had they committed tho theft. than em: room located in Minetta street, near Bleecker st . where the officers caught them both, and found on their person, .nine of $10 gold eagles; andon searching the premises, No. 35 Orange street, where the complainant was robbed. Under the floor were found six more $10 gold pieces, making $150, together with @ silver watch, likewise a part of the stolen pro- tty. Six other black women were arrested, and tikes to the police office, on suspicion of being con- cerned, when a very interesting scene took place. In= one of the private rooms the magistrate ordered them to be searched, in order, if possible, to find the balance of the money, which was supposed to be secreted about their persons. In undergoing this process the petti- coats and other garments of th buted on the floor in a very negligé manner, an six colored figures exhibited truly one of the most per- fect tableaux vivants that has been seen for some time past ; and to witness the perseverance displayed by the officers and the anxiety exhibited in making the search, was truly astonishing, leaving not ot un- turned but what was thoroughly examined, even to the wool on their heads, which was leoked into, aa it is frequently the case that money is placed by these creaturesin that spot, for the purpose of eluding the search of the police. ever, the search was made this time without succe: They again replaced their , and Justice pea 2 committed them to the ‘Tombs fee a further ¢: ination. The officers are in search of the other parties, who have beyond a doubt got the balance of the money ; and ere this the guilty partics have been in all probability arrested. Robbed while Napping.—A woman of easy virtue and rather good looking, by the name of Emily Tracey, was brought before Justice Timpson yesterday morning, on a charge of robbing a sailor, by the name of Josep! Campbell, of $32 in bank bills. It appears that Camp- bell was asleep in aroom opposite the one occupied by Miss Emily, and during the night the fair damsel was troubled with a fit of somnambulism, and gtrolled into the room of Joseph with a lighted candle, posing Joe to be asleep, took his vest off thi at the foot of the bed, which contained the $82. atthis instant, Joseph opened.his blew out the light and stepped out ust pecs a Emil; § quickly as possi- bie, leaving Joe in the dark, minus his $32, The rob- bery was effected at No. 274 Water street, where Joe had taken lodgings for the night. The magistrate committed her in full for trial, Taken from a Thief.—Officer Horton, of the fifth ward police, recovered from a notorious thief, four large sil- ver spoons and one tea spoon, marked J. A. R., for which an owner is wanted. Apply to the above officer, at the fifth ward station hous Stealing a Watch.—Officer McCoy, of the 3d ward lice, arrested, yesterday, a black woman, called Eliza th Herrod, on the charge of stealing, from the person of George H. Smith, residing at No. 154 Thirteenth street, a silver lever watch, worth $36, It seems from the testimony, that Smith was lying asleep in a house of disrepute, at No. 61 Anthony street, when this black woman came softly into the room, and, with a pair of scissors, cut the guard string from his neck, and car- ried cff the watch ; on waking up, he at onee missed his watch, and requested the black woman to return it to him, instead of which, she denied all knowledge of the watch. The aid of police was called in, and, on searching the room occupied by the accused, the officer found the watch secreted between two beds. This be- ing strong proof of her guilt, Justice Timpson locked her up for trial. Mazatian, June 18, 1818.—The official copy of the treaty of peace was received here on Monday last. Preparations were immediately made for embarking the artillery, munitions of war, and troops ; and notice was given to the commanding Mexican officer, that the place would be formally transferred at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Pre- vious to that hour, all the troops had been embark- ed, except the marines and one company of artil- lery, which was required to fire the necessary salutes. x At the appointed time the American and Mexi- can troops, each numbering about one hundred, marched into the Plaza, and the command of the town was transferred by Capt. Lavalette, the go- vernor, to Gen. Negrita, with the usual formali- ties, and with mutual congratulations on the new countries. The American flag was then lowered, and the Mexican hoisted, simultaneously, on the flag staff of the cuartel. r the halliards were belayed, and a salute fired by the cuartel battery. The Mexican flag was then mast headed, and the American hauled down, and Ohio and Congress. Be The marines, commanded by Captain Zeilin, and Lieut. Tilghman’s company of artillery, es- | corted Captain Lavalette and General Negrita to the mole, where the troops embarked in a fine ar- ray of boats, which were ready for their recep- 4 } that tion, Lhe order of omy.) Whe sEFvice should feave' the” shore immediately after the ceremony, excepting only the Governor, and the disbursing officers, who were given fintil to-morrow to settie up the accounts connected with the final embar- kation. At 64 o’clock, the last man had left the mole, and Mezatlan was again in possession of its legitimate government. A very large concourse of persons were present, and the streets through which the Amencans passed were so densely crowded that it was diffi- cult for the mounted cavalcade to make its way without injury to the spectators. ‘There was no demonstration of other than good feelings, and I am satisfied that nine-tenths of those present really regretted the abdication of the American authorities. During the seven months they have been in power, great efforts have been made to relieve the burdens and consult the wishes of the people of the country. Itisdue to the marines and sailors, who have | composed the garrison on shore, to say that pro- bably no place was ever held under similar circum- stances, with a more entire absence of aggression upon the rights of citizens. With one or two trifling exeeptions, no fights have taken place, and no violence used by either party toward the other. And in this connection it is_ but justice to say that great creditis due to Capt. Zeilin, of the marine corps, forhis energy and vigilance in preserving the peace, and perfecting the police, of the city. e U.'S, ship Lexington sailed this morning for La Paz, where the Independence now is; the Ohio and Congress, it 1s understood, sail to-mor- row for the same place. ‘The Dale, now at Guay- mas, hasalso been ordered there, as well as the Warren and Southampton, now at Monterey. It is expected the Congress will sail for the United States in July. _Probably no ship's company in the service of the United States ever had as laborious and harrassing a cruise as they have had. Vor a great portion of the time they have been on duty as soldiers, and have made forced marches and encountered fa- tigues and privations of the most serious charac- ter, and always with a hearty good will which does them credit. “If there has been hittle opportunity for the navy to win Jaurels onfthis coast by hard fighting, there been no lack of hard werk and short commons, and whatever there has been to do has been done with zeal and fidelity.

Bartrmore, August 6, 1848. An arrival at New Orleans on the 2d inst. brings advices from Vera Cruz to the 26th of July. There had been another contest between the government forces under Bustamente and the in- surgents under Paredes, in which the latter were defeated. Bustamente’s forces entered Guanajuato. He considers the opposition to the government effec- tually put down. Padre Javauta was taken prisoner, and immedi- ately executed. The Free Soil Convention at Buffalo, Barrato, August 6, 1848. A number of delegates have arrived. Some of the leading barn-burning delegates are here, including Messrs. Beekman and Cambre- leng. These philosophers know what they are about. I reckon that Messrs. Van Buren and Hale will be nominated. Mr. McLean will get. some votes. for the Vice Presidency. The convention will be held in a tent capable of holding 10,000 persons. The Hibernia’s News.
