Whe Tammay Hall Nominations—The May- eralty, and the District Attorneyship. The nominating conclave at Tammany Hall, epresenting the- big-fisted democracy of this city, have nominated candidates for some of the princi- pal offices to be voted for at the next election. Friday night Fernando Wood got the nomination fer Mayor of this city, and John Graham succeeded fm procuring the nomination for District Attorney. The rest of the nominations are reserved for another day, as they prebably re juire more consultation, more managemert, more bargaining, more philo- sophy, and more farce, before all shall have ter- minated. ‘These two nominations are probably the most important that could be made on the first night. Great responsibility rests on the Mayor, in Yarieus points of view connected with the inter- esis, prosperity and progress of this mighty metro- pelis. Equally important responsibility rests on the shoulders of the District Attorney, as far as regards criminal jurisprudence, and the adminiztra- tion of criminal justiee. Every journal, every citizen, every man—what- ever his political or private views may be—rmust take a deep and abiding interest {in these nomina- tieons—their success or defeat. What shall it be oa oxr part? We shall proceed simply, bat dis- tinetly, to indicate our views of these nominations. The nomination of Feraaado Wood is a fair and Tespeciable one, as much so as could be expected from any party in this transition age, or from the mixed atmosphere of Temmany Hall. We have kaown Mr. Wood for many years, in a variety of @epacities, as a public man, a member of Congress, asa private citizen, and in other respects. He is a | talented, diecreet, sensible, active, and reliable | man. Iie has enemies in hie own party, as well as among the ranks of his poli'ical opponents ; but in private and public life he has shown every capacity for business, and reliable qualities which would have a great weight in his position as chief magis- trate of this city. As the canvass progresses, we will take occasion to say something more on all there points. In regard to the other candidate—John Graham —we have aleo something of a mixed character to say in relation to his capacity and his fituess for the office to which he aspires, and for which he has been nominated. We know a good deal of the eareer of John Graham; and although he has some qualities that are creditable in several points of view, we are sorry to say that, es District Attor. ney, he is entirely unsuited and unfit; and we are eonfident that his elevation to that office would be avery deplorable event for the administration of eriminal juetice in this city. We are sorry in being eompelied, from the duty we owe to truth, justice, the community, and the correct administration of eriminal jurisprudence, to say this of John Gra- ham ; for he is a son of one of our oldest friends— a man of the highest character for truth, and vera- sity, and honor—we mean,the late David Graham, who was our former counse! in many cases of dif- ficulty. No man ever entertained a higher opin- jom.Lin point of learning and purity of character, for any one, than we did of the late David Gra- ham, futher of John Graham. We are sorry, however, to say, that the feelings of respect, vene- ration and confidence, which we entertained for the father, have by no means descended in strict hereditary succession to the sons; but more espe- cially may this be deelared of John Graham, now a candidate for the office of District Attorney, From his essociations, his reputation, his talents, and a variety of other circumstances, we are per- feculy fied that he is totally unfit and incom- petent to occupy the office of District Attorney, or to manege the criminal jurieprudence of this city. He has been connected, as couosel, as adviser, as agent, with certain criminal gangs, and certain eriminal affeire, during the last two years, which augur any thing elee but reepect and esteem for him, or any probability that he would ever be able to manage the criminal affairs of this city with any degree of justice to the community, or to the satisfaction of the public. The Warner stool- pigeon gang, the Wilkes stool-pigeon gang, the Ned-Buntline gang, and various other gangs, have always looked upon him as one of their principal popils, agents and advisers; and his connections in al and other points of view, have been with persons end characters of such a description as to entirely unfit him for the post of District At- torney These are our views of the two nominations— Fernando Wood as Mayor, and Joha Graham as District Attormey—our views in brief. We shall, hewever, lengthen and enlarge upon them, so as to satiofy the community of their aceuracy and eorrectnese, and in this way do our duty to our eonstituents and the community, in relation to two ef the most important offices in the gift of the peeyle Peestpest Fiutaone, urs Castnet, avn THER Posyron.—From what we see and hear, on ail sides, it is quite evident that the President and his cabinet do not display that moral courage neces sary in the prevent crisis of political affairs.

In addi- | tien to the unanimity and good feeling which per- vaded the convention, the report of the Trustees of | the Episcopal Fund presented a gratifying expose of the funds of the diocess—showed them to be in a most healthy and sound condition, and that a large balance remains on hand. This is a pleasing picture, and will be gratifying to the friends of the Pretestant Episcopal Church of this diocess ; from it we may safely infer that there are no grabbers— no worldly minded men, nor none who prefer self- interest to self-righteousness, in the true sense of this term, amongst those who have the appropria- tion and application of the church moneys; but that all prefer the extension of true religion, and the peace and harmony of the church. But notwithstanding this pleasing picture, we eannot hide frem ourselves, nor shall we from out | readers, that the elements of discord abound in the church; and if measures be not soon taken | toallay the storm that is now brewing, it will burst upon us, perhaps at the next convention, with such fury as will shake the diocess from one ex- tremity to the other, destroy the unity of the church, eonfound its pastors, and scatter their flocks amongst the various sects that hem them in on all sides. It is, however, proper to say that the con- | vention are not tbe authors, and are, there- fore, not chargeable with the threatened | disruption of the Episcopal church of this diocese, It arises from extrinsic causes, over which it has, | collectively at least, no control; and, perhaps, were it not for its wisdom and forbearance, the dio- | cess would at this time present just such a specta- | cle of discord, confusion and schism as now unhap- | pily prevails in some of the churches of the old , world, professing the same doctrines. The first of those elements of strife we shall no- | tice is that of an application made by the colored | congregations of the churches of St. Phillip de | Nere, and the Messiah, of this city, tothe Conven- tion, in the year 1846, to be admitted into the union | ofchurches. The application was referred to the | appropriate committee, who reported adversely to | it, not from any hostility to the colored race, but | knowing that there wes a difference of opinion on | the subject in the convention, which, if the ques- tion came up, would lead to disnnion, and, in all probability, to a split amongst the members. The report was never acted upon, and the matter was dropped, until Mr. John Jay, jr., a young lawyer of this city, a lay delegate, and a gentleman who takes a very active part in everything that concerns | the colored race, introduced it at the last sitting of the convention by a speech, to say the least of it, abounding in strong language. The question, how- ever, was got rid of on a point of form, reserving to Mr. Jay the right to introduce it at some future time, which no doubt he will. In ordinary times, and under ordinary circum. stances, applications of this kind would not be of much importance, and therefore not likely to peril the yeace of the community; but in the pre- sent excited state of public feeling in regard to the slavery question, superinduced by the agitation of the abolitionists and socialists, é | cannot be denied thet it presents a threa! ing appearance, especially in the hands of su man es Mr. Jay, who, on all questions connects with the social position of the colored race, allows | his zeal to outrun his judgment and reason. This young gentleman seems to have but one idea on the questien of slavery, and that is, that the negroes should be let loose by beat of drum. He seems to have no idea of the difficulties that beset this ques- tion, the eonflicting interests it involves, and the delicacy with which itshould be handled. For our own part, we cannot see what object he can have in attempting to resuscitate a deed report but vo creme a schism in that church of which he is himeelf a member; but perhaps he has another and a different one. It may be that he thinks the introduction of | a sprinkling of colored ladies in the gallenes would produce an agreeable contrast, and relieve the tedi- ousness that usually attends those sluggish meet- in If thie be his object, we go with him to the result. We should like to see a bevy of black demoiselles flirting their fans in the side aisles and galleries—here a white and there a black spot. Such aspeckled gathering woulll have a most whimsical effect, and would produce both merri. ment and variety to enliven the seene. Moreover, the sombre countenances and woolly heais of the colored ladies would heighten, and set off the beauty of their pale faced sisters. That would end the matter. The other element of strife is the present ana- melou te in which the diocesan church has been left for five years, without a head, by the sen- tence of suspension pronounced by the House of Rishope on Bishop Onderdonk. For ourselves, we musteay that this sentence ot indefiaite suspension is a most extraordtnary one, and has involved the diocess in great trouble and p>rplexity; but the strangest part @é@he affair is, that although the con- vention has anmtwally remonstrated with the bish- ops, and laid before them the troubles and diffieul- ties of the church, the latter have evaded the ques tion. To us, this seems to be a most extraordinary state of things. Bishop Onderdonk is either a guilty or an inwocent man. There can be no half-way house between the two extremes. This ie sound Protestant doctrine. Although we think it very likely the bishop, himeelf, has now some miegivings on this point, and that f he were asked the question, he wodld can- didly say there is such a place as purgatory, and that he has been tasting the sweets of it every day since his suspension—yet, be this as it may, the House of Bishops has incurred great blame—they have left the diocess for five years, subject to all the iaconveniences and evils arising from the want of the care and supervision of the | heag pastor of the church. If he was guilty, why | not degrade him at once and for ever, and for the | | peace and quiet of the church appoint a successor? | or if, om the other hand, his transgressions were | but venial, why not restore him to his Episcopal | ministerial functions, and not leave the church any | longer without a head, a prey to disse a and discrder, to say nothing of the lesser ev nd conveniences that the absence of a bishop from his diocers ils upon it? Which ever horn of the j dilemma the bishops take, they cannot escape the | censure of the publie, and especially that portion of it which consists of the members of the Protestant Episcopal Church. These two questions cannot remain in abeyance much lovger ; they will, undoubtedly, be brought upet the next session of the convention, and if great prudence and moderation be not exercised, a schism in the church is inevitable. The bishops would do well, therefore, to pat their house in order, end be prepared to give their reasons for | leaving the diocess of New York for five years without a pastor. It was admitted in the conven- tion, that the northern part of the diocess was auf- fering severely for want of the pastoral care ofa bishop, and we, ourselves, have that ener one Making on the ats and inroads have been yearly me quarter, by the outside barbarians by which they are_sarroanded. flocks in the Of Distinguished Peopte. dand fax Albe Nea Jeb | A.

Greeley, of the Tri- bune, was one of the Directory here, and probably knows something about the twenty-five thousand dollars, as he possibly remembers the battle of Slievegammon, the sympathizing, the hopes for liberty, and the anticipated independence of Ireland. It is to be hoped that the fund is in a more substan- tial state than the ideal revolution which created it, when sympathy aad silver were at a premium. We have had all the means of making up the round sum of, twenty-five thousand dollars. The only | question now is, whether or not we have the man | among us who can, on public greunds, apply to | Greeley and his associates, through the mouth of the law, for some explanation with respect to the application of the money collected in aid of the Trish cause. Month after month, and year af- ter year, rolls on, and those who turned their pockets inside out, in the cause of freedom, are na- turally anxious to know what has become of their monty. Who will bring the first suit? Who will be the patriot to ascertain in which boot Greeley keeps the people’s money? We wait for a reply. Sournern Dinect Trape with ENGLann.—Se- veral persons from the Southern States, went out from this port, by the last steamer, for the purpose | of making some new commercial arrangements, in England, by which a direct trade may be opened between the South and the trade of Europe.— Southern capitalists are largely interested in this movement, and their agents will efleet, doubtless, some measures of great importance. The cause of such enterprise, on the part of the South, 1s to be traced to the belligerent attitude of the Northern States, which are chasing a political abstraction, to end in a most deplorable overthrow of our com- merce. The people of the South are quite as active in deeds, as those of the North are in words; and this action, on their part, is but the sign and symp- tom of other movements which wiil assuredly en- sue if the anti-slavery agitation is continued among us.

By our private correspondence, we learn that the lovely cantatrice, some time ago, entered into an engagement with Mr. Lumley, the impresario of her Majesty's theatre, London, by which it was stipulated | that she should sing a year or more in the English me- trogolis, or in the United States, at the will of the ma- nager. Maretzek took advantage of this contract to seoure her services for the Astor Place Opera House, and made all needful arrangements with Mr. Lumley to this end. All appeared very favorable, and pro- mised delight for our fashionsble opera goers. How" , Just on the completion of the whole arrangement, the news reached England that Jenny Lind had turned vue beads Of bal{ the population, that Genin, the hatter, had given two hundred and twenty. five dollar, fer a single concert ticket. “Ab!” exclaimed Parodi “that is @ great country erfect California, I need better terms, Mr. Lumley.’ Thereupon. negotiations commenced.

However, the managers hope to sucesed by their liberal offers; and probably, Parodi will be on her voyage to the golden jand in the course of next month The indefatigable Maretsek has not contented him- self with making one department of his establishment eomplete.
