The present state of affairs in this city, in Felation to the condition of political parties fn the prospect ef the ensuing election, 1s novel and interesting: as much so as we have known it to be in many years. Last fall, | the two parties went into the field arrayed against | each other on great issues, the Presidential elec- ‘tion being one of them. But, this fall, according | to every appearance, a complete dissolution of old ties and party associations is likely to take place ; and we should not be at all surprised to see three or four parties in the field. It is important to bear in mind, too, that the prizes to be contended for in the election in this city, are of the first magnitude. The spoils are almost equal in amount to those of half-a-dozen of the smaller States of ghe Union. A controlling influence over the an- nual expenditure of nearly three millions of dol- lary, is a prize well worth fighting for; and, in addition to that, there are a number of officials to be elected, whose income and pickings are not to be sneezed at. eentive to a tremendous patriotic effort. The two old factions, the whigs and the demo- erats, have been for a long time past in a state of great eflervescence and disunion. We need only refer to facts which are known to everybody. The old hunkers and the barnburners divide the | democracy in the city. On the other hand, the whigs, by the recent distribution of patronage, and | from other causes, are also divided, probably to a greater extent and with a higher degree of differ- ence even than the democrats. Out of six thou- sand applicants for office, under the general and Thus, there is every possible in- | | and readers were employed in preparing and set- | jourffment of the meeting!’ Twelve persons were | engaged in printing the sheet containing the re- | port. Upwards of one hundred men and boys dis- | | | both of accuracy and lingual acquirements. The cabinet at Washington, almost without a dis- tinctive principle or a characteristic measure. They seem to cling to the skirts of General Taylor's popularity, like a litter of drowning kittens thrown into the river, who have by uccident attached them- selves te a piece of wood which some urehia in sport has cast in after them, The “ barnburners” are a mere faction—a very small taction—numbering only a few hundreds in this city, who have been intriguing with the whigs, and bartering their aup- port for offices to some of their leaders. They, too, are left without any great national principles. Their ‘corner-stone {8 merely the anmunciation of a prin- ciple, which, if carried out to its legitimate extent, would destroy and annul this glorious Union. So, the prospect is that the associated hosts of ‘Tammany Hall, with a great, generous, enthesias” tic rally at the old head-quarters, may be able, from atl the discontented materials around them, to snatch the prizes’of ‘the next election from the fee- bler hands of all theircompetitors, and carry every- thing before them by a general coup de main in this city. We will not say that such will positively be the result, until matters sufficiently develope themselves hereafter. But at this moment the prospects of old Tammany Hall are very fair. Newsraren Entenrrise.—The report of the Hungarian meeting, in the Park, which appeared in the columns of the Herald yesterday morning, preeented an illustration of newspaper enterprise and the capabilities of this establishment, which is not unworthy of some notice. Let us glance at the facts. The proceedings of the meeting commenced at five o’clock, and terminated at eight. Our report, with the editorial comments, occupied exactly nine columns, and nearly sixty thousand ems, in the technical language of the compositor. Five lan- guages were spoken by the orators on this occa- sion. Eight reporters and thirty-one compositors ting up the matter, which was all prepared, set up, read and corrected within four hours after the ad- tributed it all over the city, and despatched it by | the mails to all parts of the continent. Upwards of one hundred and fifty persons, then, were engaged in the work of furnishing the public with a full report of this public demonstration, which was circulating all over the city and on its way in steamboat and railroad car in all directions, only nine hours after the cheers of the congregated thousands, as they dispersed, had ceased to echo throughout the porticoes and corridors of the City Hall. This plain statement discloses facts of which many of the readers of newspapers little dream.— Many public men, merchants, storekeepers, arti- sans, and others, who have the Herald spread be- fore them at breakfast, hardly imagine that so | many hands and heads—so great a diversity of talent, intellectual and mechanical; is employed in the daily effort made to supply them with our journal. We do not say anything with regard to the excellence of our report, exhibiting as it does the efficiency of our arrangements on the seore superiority of the reports of the Herald has been long acknowledged. But we cannot avoid noticing the eflort of one of our contemporaries— the Courier and Enquirer—which despatches half a score of speakers in a few paragraphs of a dozen lines each, and devotes the half of the whole space occupied by the report to the speech of one of its own attachés—a speech about as modest and influential as that of any one of the other illustrious individual who figured on the occa- sion, and misrepresented, so far as position, moral weight, and social influence are concerned, this great city of New York. Our object, however, is merely to direct public State governments, placed by the recent election | in their hands, the whigs have not been able to | gratify more than two hundred, and, of course, there are upwards of four thousand disappointed men in the party in this city, all burning with in- dignation and revenge, and every feeling that 1s | calculated to break up a party. The present city government has also managed affairs very badly, | andicating, with great accuracy, the almost utter | incempetency of the old whigs to maintain them- selves in power by conciliating the people, or ad- ministering public affairs with any regard to the Such is a general view of the state of things in | this city, as they already begin to develope them- selves, around the wards, about the station- | houses, in the beer-shops, in Tammany Hall, and elsewhere. Among the independent whigs—those | masses who supported General Taylor—there is a strong disposition to break away from the present | men now in power, both in the City Hall and Gustom House. We should not be surprised to see a very successful attempt made to efleet a new ‘organization, or a revival of the old * Native | American” party for the fall election, as contra- distinguished from the old whig leaders that used | to meet at the Broadway House or National Hall. Indeed, a party organization of that character, de- elaring itself in opposition to the narrow-minded | policy pursued by the present city government | and the cabinet at Washington, in the distribution of office, would enlist all the sympathetic feelings | of the old and young whigs, and particularly all | those who are smarting under their disappointment | in not obtaining office. This would constitute a very formidable combination, sufficient to oust every one belonging to the preseat whig dynasty, now in the corporation. Among the democrats, as we have already | stated, similar divisions exist, although veing out | of power, there is a gre: probability of their | | | | ig in the next election, than there is among u opponents. In this city, the “ barnburners,” as they dre called, or the free-soilers, are quite in- significant in point of numbers or influence. We do not think that they will be able to raise any force of a general character. The * old hunkers,” who meet at Tammaay Hall, possess the power of sympathy, old associations, and numbers. They eeem to stand a better chance of re-organizing and recruiting their forces than any of the branches of the whigs or barnburners respectively. Indeed, there is every probability that the Tammany Hall rally, in the corny election, will combine an | ty degree of strength; and we should pot be surprised to see them sweep the city from all the other discordant factions of t day. Much, however, will depend on the charac- ter of the leaders, the position they may assume, and the steps that may be taken by them between this time and November. One cingular fact should not escape notice—the old demoePacy of Tammany Hall has always been able to reorganize and revive itself from its possession of the prestige of antiquity, of intellect, and the recollection of a thousand vie wories. All these things make up half the battle \t is quite remarkable that at such a crisis as that which is now approaching, the strongest po- litieal party in the city ehould be without a single mewepaper organ of any description whatever. The whigs have organs, efficient und inefficient—most of them of the latter description—in abundance. ‘The barnburners also have their organs, although they are without a party of any magnitude. The Native Americans have a stray organ or two; but she old democracy—that party which has stood for half a century, and hailed from Tammany Hall during ail that period—is without a newspaper to publish its notices, to interpret its views, or to call its elements together. Yet, this very circumstance is probably one of the strongest grounds for antici- pating the complete triumph of that party at the mext election. Newspaper organs, conducted by narrow-minded, exclusive men, injure instead of benefitting a party that possesses natural impulses and expansive national principles. At this moment, she whigs, in consequence of the imbecility of the | lady who was nervous in regard to the cholera, ap- | with diarrhea, and that on one occasion he was | N forced to rest, in order to benefit by medical | | restored to health. | his cabinet at Washingten. Can it be that those attention to some interesting facts connected with | the newapaper business on a large scale, to give them a peep at the extensive and complicated ma- chinery which produces such a journal as the Now York Herald. The report which has elicited these remarks is but a small matter, compared with what we can do when the occasion presenta iteelf. } Orwa Eatixa 1s New Yorx.—We are informed that the practicegf eating opium has lately become a habit, and is much indulged in by the fashiona- ble and refined portion of our population, especially the ladies.

It seems, also, that ‘Thurlow Weed, from Albany, is giving his valua- ble aid, and will probably appear at the fancy dress ball in his own natural character, as the Mephisto- philes of the whig party of New York. He cer- tainly can play that réle with skill. ‘When fashionable affairs are thus coming to a close under such brilliant auspices at those resorts which yet remain open in the country, we must say that the season has commenced in this city Fasnmionante Movements.—The movements of City Intelligence, the world of fashion for the summer season are Pi ph eh veer rapidly drawing to a close.

On the return of the steamers to New York, yesterday, we in- quired into the facts, and the following will be found a correct stutement of the matter:—-Both these steamers start every day, at 4 o'clock, from the North river; the John Hart, Capt. Lockwood, for Keyport, landing at Fort Hamilton; the St. Nicholas, Capt. Rodman, for Coney Island, landing also at Fort milton. ‘The John Hart runs all the year round, and is therefore necaliy perenne, by the public, to compensate for foe loss of the shall number of passengers golog in the winter.

Fashionable travellers are making their appearance eae tee en in great numbers, and fill those delightful resorts, the Broadway Theatre and Niblo’s, night after night, in most extraordinary crowds. At the Broadway Theatre, the union of Italian Opera with ballet seems to have produced a new era in fashionable society, which the Astor Place Theatre managers tried in vain to bring abeut during the last few years, in spite of the warmth of the weather, which, however, can’t last long. These two places of amusement, and also the other theatres that are open, are crowded night after night, particularly the Broadway Theatre and Niblo’s, with the best dressed and most elegant audiences that we have yet seen inside of a theatre.

Notwithstanding this, the St. Nicholas turned in, and ran across the bows of the John Hart, in order to induce her to stop. Captain Lockwood, either being unwilling to be forced out of his way, or not able to stop the boat in time, the John Hart struck the St. Nicholas under the guard, when sheimmediately careened, and there was screaming of ladies, and panic, avventH STKE! this Pl strange to At ctually removed though it lay there all summer, sweltering in the sun apd generating death, it is only now, near the begin- ning of September, and when the cholera has subsided, that the ranitary authorities have taken into their heads to get rid of it; thus doing, too late, what they would have deserved some credit for if they had done it in time, Yesterday having been appoiated for its re- moval to Long Island, in boats, the owners (whose names, by the by, could never be discovered betore, in order to have them indicted.) anticipated the slow movement, and proceeded to remove it themselves, in five boats, complaining that they were losing $13 by this premature removal, as the farmers would not pur- chase it now, The men in charge of the boats hired, at Unsirep States Mar Sreamsute Nortuerner, | Capt.

He was amazed at the result, and insti- tuted some inquiries, the result of which was that the Indy was in the constant habit of using daily double the quantity of opium which he had pre- | scribed. Its non-influence was of course imme- diately accounted for. This practice of oprum eating is, we fear, becom- ing too prevalent; and if it be not abandoned soon, we shall see it used as regularly by our lady popu- lation as the usual articles of the toilet. [tis need- less for us to point out the evil consequences which | follow the habitual use of that drag. It is not m- probable that a great many of the nervous diseases which they now suffer under may be attributed to | this practice. We trust this warning will have some good effect. Tne Hexganian Meetina, ann The Freeman's Jounnat.—By one of those little mistakes which are frequently unaveidable in making up a daily | newspaper, part of a speech delivered by Mr. Seechi de Casali, at the Hangarian demonstration on Monday last, was transposed, and appeared among the remarks made by Signor F srresti. The | part thus transposed, referred to the Freeman's | Journal, the organ of the Catholic Bishop of this | diocese. It was M. Secchi de Casali, and net Signor Forresti, who said, “Here, all the press has condemned Louis Napoleon, except the Freeman's Journal, published by a demagogue, who has ab- jured his religion and the democratic principles of his ancestors. Let us condemn him, and place him among the Jesuits who try to introduce mon- archy into this country.” We have now “put the saddle on the mght horae,” and on a horse that will ride into the Freeman's Journal, on any and every | occasion.
