AFFAIRS OF THE CITY AND ITS VICINITY. @he Convertion of the Irish Societies o¢ New York. A meeting of this body was held on Friday, 3lst ult., at Montgomery Hall, Prince street—the Presi- dent, Mr. Patrick Dee, in the chair. Mr. MoGrath, the secretary, read the minutes of the proceedings of the last meeting, which were approved of. The President then introduced Captain McLeer and Mr. John Clancy, as delsgates from the Hibernian Providence Society, Newark, and other Irish socie- ties in that city. They were most cordially re- ceived by the convention, and both returned their acknowledgments. Mr. Cuancy said—“ We have been sent here, gentlemen, a3 delegates, for the purpose of consult- ing with you as to the best mode to be pursued for the purpose of putting an end to those dis graceful riots which so frequently occur amongst our countrymen, on the public works. If I might offer a suggestion, I would say that I consider wo ought to make a levy of three conts on each mem- ber of every society connected with this movement, in order toveatablish a yoy fund, to purchase books and newspapers, to send to the men on these works. They are not so illnatured as to fight with acd kill each other if they know the difference; but all proceeds fom ignorance—educate them then, and the evil ceases. I see, by the of your proceedings, that you have mn debating as to whether it would be better to have the sovieties about to be formed eubordinate to this convention, or otherwise. I consider that they ought to be subordinate, for, by acting in unison with each otber, we would have more influence. This levy, which I propose, | mean to extend to the societies in the country, for it is not right that the New York societies should be left to bear the entire ex- ense. The sum will be trifling to each of us, and think we will Py it cheerfully, because of the we hope it willeffect; at least, 1 can apaek tor Newark, for, although we have no quarrelling there, yet we feel dee, the disgrace which, ia other places, is brought on our name and nation. Mr. brs—I think the matter should be left to the eocieties themselves how they would act—whe- ther they would beoome subo: te to us or not; and if they send us money we will be hea come their agents for the [peter ps of such books and papers containing the account of our preceed- ings, as they may uire; and by sending their mouey to us there wot be a great advantage, as we would then get thgge articles at the price they are given to agents. After some discussion, the matter was agreed to be left entirely with the societies themselves. A letter wae read from Mr. Bernard Hughes, of Portageville, which stated that the principles of the convention were making great pr there, an: that six months since the most enthusiastic advo- cate of the cause could not find an audience, and that since, he addressed several hundreds, all of whom commenced to adhere fervently to the peace ine. There is nothing talked of new on the public works, but the progress of the Erin Pease | Society, and the proceedings of the New York | Convention, and the finger of scorn is ee | r. of a | any one who j not our peace movement. Hughes strongly recommended the callin convention of all Irish societies, raieing of the | ti for the sh 200 bere ‘and letter was read from Mr. MeMabor, aleo of Portageville which gave a very flattering deserip- tion of the spread of the peace principles of the coavention in Western New York. The revered and venerated Bishop Timon (says Mr. McM.,) bas put himself at the head of our movement, and | bas enlisted his clergy im the cause. With such | mor as thove to lead the van, will we not be able to rally the troops and bring up the rear? We | will—will we not !—and then | hope may ceme the day of Ireland's redemption; for, believe me, I | look upon ‘his movement as one of the most effec | for the at home. tual for the gocd of the Irish people that has taken | of place of late years. To your conveation is due the | credit of having ig ated this plan, and every | Irishman in the United States owes you a debt of | eternal gratitude Both letters were ordered to be inserted onthe | ments, accompanied by Dodworth's Band, proceeded om mirutes.

To effect this, we, in our addross, invoked the aid of the Catholic clergy, both in Canada and in the United States, the contractors on public works, and all good men. I do not, however, think that we ought to ask any of the societies about to be formed to be subordidate to us, for in different _< there may be different regulations requisite. ‘or instance, in the “Erin Peace Society,” whish the Right Rey. Buhop Timon has established in bis diocess of buffalo, taere is a card of membership iven, and this is necessary, because the men are to go from station to station to look for work.

The Pos’ quotes in its editorial the following paragraph from my letter to you of the 50th of October. “The mapy and various paragraphs connecting me with the Deaaidsoa and Greer correspondence, that bave appeared within the last two montns ia sundry other wh'g and democratic papers throughout the country, bave vot escaped my notice. The first pro- mulgetors of the untruth, that [ was the author cf the correspondence, were the editors of the New York Eve- ring Post. Im @ Feapectful mote, on the same day they attributed it to me, d them to give me the name of their informant (~ authority,” I believe. was the phrase) for the statement they made; and I took eapecial care to assure them that I had nothing to do with those letters, or their publication, in any wise Thov editers bad not graee enough to motice my denial, but inserted an extract from wy note asking for their authority, with an all¢gation that the statement was made upon rumor, nd added quite @ chivalrous declaration, that they held themereives ~ responsible” for their announcement.” The Post then proceeds to say:— “Mr, Westcott’s note asked not only our authority for the statemert we made, but who waa responsible for it. We replied that we bad stated » rumor, end as @ matter of course we were responsible for making such state- ment. IfMr Weetcctt bad asked us where the rumor criginated, or from what source we received it, we should | probably pave answered him difereatly ; and if he had | noteeked us who was‘ responsible” for what we had ted, we should not have felt it necessary to add what | be styles the “chivalrous declaration,” that we were | ourselves reeponeible.”” A perusal of my note of the 23th of August to these editors, proves they mistate and misrepre- nt it. There is nothing in it asking them who was *Sreeponsible” for their previous publication, but t dees ask them for their authority. I plainly, di- rectly, unequivocally and respectfully sought to be informed “from what sourve they received their information ” My object waa manifest. was not such an egregious blockhead as to ask sr: An editorial inthe Evening Post of last reepecting the Hizra.p, myself, and the “ by the libellants, and the proceeds, $1,500, paid b: them, was dep sited in court the 21st by the Marshal. The claimants refused to transport the coal to San Francisco, ard had it unloaded on the wharf, against the protest of the libellant. On the 29h fay, the libel in this cause was filed and the vessel attached thereon. The claimants putintheir claim to the brig a3 owner the 30th, and their answer in July thereafter. On the 4th of June, a final decree was rendered in the case of Wright aad Roberts, and inthe other seven euits by material mon, and an order made for the distribution amongst them of the funds in court. The libel claimed that the vessel was bound to the performance of the contract of affreightment, and that the claimants purchased her subject to that lien, and became also nally fe for the fulfilment of the contract.

In order to make the necessary repairs, tha master borrowed $7,535 77-100 of the libellants; be drew bills on the owners, in Ireland, for @ portion | of the loan; and on the 28th of April, 1349, executed a bond for $15,000, conditione pay for the same loaned, together with $1,150 26-100 bottomry pre- mium, within ten days after the safe arrival of the ship at Galway. ‘The vessel arrived out safely, May 25th thereafter, and returned to this port in June, 1850. On the 27th of that month, sao was attached, by procese, from a State court, by credit- ors of the foreign owners, and was orde: sold, by decree of the court, July Slst, aud was sold | at auction thereupon, by the Sheriff, August 5, 1560. All the proceedings on the attachment were legal and regular. A bill of sale was executed by the Sheriffto the claimants, who are bona fizz pur- chazers at the eal nd it does not appear they had | any notice of this bottomry claim, other than that othe implied from the suit Wp commenced pri day of sale. The master drew bills in fav claimants, on the owners, for the amount in the bottomry. Tke libel was filed Augu: The Court decided that the bond given by the mas- ter wasa bottomry security, legally binding upon the vesse]; and that the bills of exchange drawn by the master, in favor of the libellante, on the owners, were not the original security contemplated by the arties, but were collateral to the bottomry bond ut the court held that the libellanta lost the bot- tomry licn by neglecting to enforce it within a rea- eonable time after the return of the ship to this port, and until after her arrest in this city, and a deor rendered for her sale in due course of law in a State court. A bottomry lien is not an encumbrance binding a vessel indefinitely. It must be pursued within a reasonable time after it is perfected by the pox anna, Tye the contingencies on which it rests, and may be cut off or barred by a bona fide purchase of the vessel, when a reasonable period for enforcing the lien bas elapecd.

J, W. Shaw & Co purchased and put on board all the provisions, charging one half to Pilkington & Wilson; but it did not appear that the charge had been satisfied by the latter. The latter supplied the medicine chest, and it ap- pears the parties furnished water casks inabout | equal quantities. On the 25th of day, after the ship was laden, the master executed bills of lading to J. W. Shaw & Co., for the delivery of the aur- plus stores, water casks and medicine chest to the libellant ho were the consignees of the ship and passengers in New ork. On the 23d of May, the master bad executed a like bill of lading to Pil- kington & Wilson, for the delivery of the surplas stores, &o to Daniel Pilkington, in New York W.

[From the Washington Republic, Nov. 6 } | THE TAMMANY HALL VERSION OF DEMOCRATIC DOC- | TRING. The “passage at arms” which we predicted | would take place between Colonel Forney and the New York reperters, has come at last; and, at pre- sert, the odds are against the Colenel. It can hardly bave escaped the recollection of our readers that, in an article suggested by a late gathering of the ‘‘unterrified democracy” in Tam- many Hall, we commented on the falsity of a decla- ration ba se by the New York HeraLp reporters to Celonel Forney, to the effest that the receat elec- tions in Georgia and other Southern States were in reality democratic triumphs; and on the flagrant immorality of the same speaker’s exposition of *¢in- vineible doctrine ”—to wit, that he would rather vote for the worst democrat that ever lived than for the best whig that ever lived. | Inthe Pennsylvanian, the Celowel impugned the accuracy of the report, and denied that be had given utterance to either of the statements in question. The Hera. has now come to the rescue of its reporters, and, we think, fairly uses up the doughty Colonel. It shows that the report was substan- tially the same as the report of the JVutional Democrat, and that the particular passages referred to were exactly similar in both papers; is states that Colonel Forney, although in New York on the day of the publication of the report, took no excep- tion to its accuracy ; it reprints the inscription on one ofthe transparencies to prove that the story about democratic triumphs was believed by the promoters of the meoting; it cites expressions from the Democrat's report as evidence that ihe dishonest preference for bad democrats over good whigs, was received with applause by tue audience; and, lastly, it publishes an affidavit, by the reporter of the speech, affirming the precise accuracy of the raport, ard appealing to the corroborative testimony of all the reporters presen} on the oogasion. matter row stands.

Smith has had in contemplation for taa defence of the border settlers from the incaraions of the Red men. It is said that Gen. Smith contemplates an entice chang in the disposition of the military posts oa tho frontier. The infantry are to be stationed nearer the Indian country, in stronger foree than heretofore ; that is, a groater number of maa will be placed at each pest, though the oum- ber of posts will thereby be diminished. The points dosignated for these new military stations, though not peobanly determined on, are the Ciear Fork of the Brazos, the Concho, and San Saba, oc the Llano. The re; tof mounted riflemen will be actively engaged in traversing the country from the Nueces to the Rio Grande, and such other mea- sures will be taken-as will rendor it next to impossi- ble for hestile Indians to clude the military in theic maraudiog incursions. Aceording to a report from the Comptroller of the State, the eecertained value of tho first class debts is $5,711,821 76; of the second and third classes, $921,246 93. As many claims are filed which have not yet been examined, it is not improbable that the amount may be reduced below these figures. Of the first class, all, except $64,175, fails withia that deroription of the debt for which the President has decided that the revenues were pledged, upoa the satisfaction of which he makes the issues of the reserved five millions dependent. The entire debt, ascertained under the provisions of the act of 1343, for that purpose, amounts to the sum of $4,639,- 06679. e ostensible amount is not stated.
