Two more city railroad tracks are exciting the ire of our railroad-ridden citizens. We give in our col- umns of this morning the report of the proceedings in the proposed change of the Harlem Railroad track from the Bowery to Crosby street, and the protest against the Ninth Avenue Railroad. The report of the Harlem city line speaks for itself. Of the Ninth yenue protest we will saya word. The resolution to which this protest refers passed the Board dermen more than ten months ago, aud was vetoed by the Mayor January 12, 1853. Tae veto has, with- im the last few days, been taken up by the Board of Aldermen, and the resolution again adopted, wituout any previous intimation. The papers are now before the Board of Assistants, and against their concur- rence with the action of the Board of Aldermen the property owners and residents on the street, asa body, solemnly protest; while, on the other hand, the only persons agpearing in its favor are the few applicants for the privilege, some half dozea in num ber. Whether the committee of the Board of Assist- ant Aldermen will grant a hearing to property own- ers and residents on these streets, prior to its final action, is still to be seen. A very serious collision took place upon the [all River route of the Boston and New York Railroad on Monday evening. The steamboat train which left Boston at a quarter past 5 o'clock had a wheel uf one of its baggage cars suldeuly broken, when near North Bridgewater. Whilst thus disabled, the Bridgewater spe vain from Braintree came up; aud although it was sizgvalled by the engineer of the other train, and the brakes applied immediately, i Yan into the rear car of the steamboat train with freat force. Its engiue was broken, and the escap- ing steam scalded five passengers in a very dangerous manner. A few others suffered severe contusions, but it is hoped that vone were mortally injared. The particulars are reported. A portion of the morning eastern tr York Central Railroad ran of the t bat fortunately the passenger cers and t! were uninjured.

The first great rally of the national party will take place this eveaing. at Metropolitan Hall. A large number of popular orators have been invited, and itis probable that the gather- ing will be large. There are enough honest men in the city to fill the hall. Nor will there be any lack of interest in the proceedings. The leading to that will be discussed—the last election in this State—is one of the most remark~ able events that has oceurred for many years. Such elections are few in ourannals. It is not, however, without a parallel; and to many who will occupy the platform this evening the str ing resemblance between the present period and the year 1837, politicully as well as otherwise, can hardly fail to suggest it- self, The last election in this State is not remarkable by its direct consequences: there is nothing in the comparison of the votes that were cast, or the mere out- ward and immediate results of the victory, that calls for particular comment; but there is a world of food for reflection in the moral triumph obtained by such a scattered, “unorganized” party as the Dickinson democracy, without re- eognized leaders, or any other code of princi- ples than their unshakeable fidelity to the Union, over the “regular” nominations, sup- ported as they were by all the power of the ad- ministration, and all the corrupt influence that ad Guthrie could bring tabear. There inexhaustible mine for thought in the whig victory. To think thata party openly pzo- nouneed by its leaders to be dead, and whose funeral oration was delivered twelve months ago, has suddenly come to life again, and without principles and without a platform has poured down like amob on the polls, and carried everything before it—to think that the poliey of a corrupt Cabinet could in one year so utterly disorganize "the party which placed it in power that they could oppose no resistance whatever to the vic- lorivus march of their undisciplined foes--to i ich used to be de- witness the small faction, w! noted under such names as “ hards” and “ ada- man suddenly acquire such an expansion n over such adbkerents as to command a of the New York democracy--these r for serious, very serious con- ideration, They cannot be overlooked to-night; nor, while the speakers are congratulating the ds of the Compromise on the noble they have vindicated the iples, can they forget to nt to the past, cr to draw from its stores the ience and the moral lessens they contain, themselves. We are now as- petition of a drama that was en years ago, In 1836 Martin ren was elected President of the United States by a large majority.

Due ference of the tim aig? Howanc ? and the change in political questions, Gener Pierce's Cabinet has followed very closely int tracks of that of Martin Van Buren. Both alien ated the reepect of their honest followers by con- me verting the government offices into mere spoils. Both con‘rived, in an incredib!y short space, to lose the popularity with which they bd set out, and saw their best friends desert them. Both witnessed a large body of seeeders from the ranks of their party organize themselves into a separate ‘and independent faction. General Pierce now thinks, as Martin Van Buren thought, that the bolt would go no farther. Both Cabinets saw their partizans defeated at the election in this State. Both were confident that the cheek amounted to nothing. Here the paralle) ends for the present. Could we read the future, however, it were not difi- cult to see that, without some radical change on the part of the President, results, like causes. are destined to repeat themselves. It is impossible to foresee what coalitions the party which meets tonight may deem it expe- dient to form. We know that the rank and file of the silver gray whigs have already joined it inlarge numbers; but we can see plainly enough that it is no mere “bolt.” It is not or will not long be confined to this State. The causes which | geve it birth are common to the whole Union ; and we have no doubt that they will tell among the democracy of the East, West and South, as effectively as they do here. A vast organiza- tion is about to be set on foot in our sister States, and the net result will be the establish- ment of a new party, on the basis of the con- stitution and the compromise. Round the ban- ners of this party all the whigs who object to Seward, and atl the democrats who cannot en- dorse Van Buren, will rally ; and long before 1856 it will command a majority in the whole United States. It will elect the next President; and’ the next administration that is called to power will be appointed in strict accordance with its principles. Thus, without some vigorous movement on the part of our present President, the second term of the Van Buren dynasty will end. Ge- nerel Pierce, if he is wise, will take warning in time. Tux Caper Tareareyin tex SEvare.— We insert elsewhere in our columns to-day. a very well written article commenting on cer- tain threats which the Cabinet newspaper or- gan at Washington has recently put forth, rela- tive to the conduct of the United States Senate in the approaching session of Congress. This article having appeared in an obscure journal, called the Commercial Advertiser, with a cir- culation of a few thousands—about as much as one of our newsboys would tuke—we have taken pity on its position, and give it the benefit of our extensive circulation, in order that the people throughout the country, and the mem- bers of Congress of each party, may see what sort of opinions are beginning tosgenerate in every quarter relative to the present Cabinet and their intentions in the approaching Con- gress, The threats fulminated against the Senate, in Congress, by the Cabinet organ, in case those Senators should venture to reject any of the bad appointments of the President, are the most daring and atrocious that have ever appeared in the history of parties in this country. No- thing of the like insolence or impudence ever took place, even during the Presidency of Gen Jackson in his most palmy duys. Such an atrocious attempt to brow-beat the inde- pendent Senators in Congress was reserv- ed for the present Van Buren dynasty, which already, in its infancy, is struggling for life and existence before the overwhelming avalancke which is preparing by an indignant people. We have no doubt that some of the foreign and domestic appointments to be present@d to the next Senate will be confirmed without any difficulty; but there cannot be a doubt that many of these nominations, of the most obnox- jous character, will be rejected at once, and that this rejection will be brought about by some of the leading democratic members of the Senate. Mr, Weller, Senator from California, has already taken bis ground in reference to the dispute between the present Cabinet and those who censured their policy. Senator Rug- gles. Senator Cass, and all such leading men of the same august body, will no doubt take the same position. though they may be pradent enough to say little or nothing until an occa- sion offers favorable for their action. The great moral victory achieved by the national democ- racy of this State, in the recent election, is only the beginuing of the movement which will overwhelm the second Van Buren dy- nasty. now installed atWashington. as the same movement in 1837 overwhelmed in 1840 the old Van Buren dynasty of that period. Post Orrice Apve ;G—CIRCULATION OF rue Dairy Journars.—We have already stated that the Post Office of this city publishes the undelivered letters weekly, in a journal not | possessing the largest daily cirea'ation in this metropolis, and that therefore such a publica- tion is clearly a violation of the law of Con- gress thercin made and provided. The circula- tion of some of the leading journats in this city has varied a great deal during the last year; and according to the most accurate esti- mates, we find that the circulation and varia- tions between 1852 and 1653 are as follow :-- Circeils tion in 1852, Tn 1853. Decrease. —‘Tncveas Tribune ......16.000 00 2,590 = Dime 125,000 17,600 $,000 = Heka 37,060 66.50 po 18.600 There is a penny paper published in the city, in which the Postmaster advertises the weekly list of letters. The cireulation of the penny paper referred to has diminished within the last iwo years. about fifteen thousand, and its cireu- lation at the present moment is many thousands under that of the Hrnavp. We are willing to test these facts. Washington. or the Postmaster of this city, wif furnish us with an opportunity for that purppse. During the last year, it will be perceived the New York Henato has added twenty thousand to ite former circulation, making it now a jour- nal of the largest daily circulation in the civi- lized world. It is a singular fact also, that, with one exception in Wall street, all the other daily journals have diminished in circulation during the same space of time in which the Hrnatp has so increased. The Tridune has de- creased nearly three thousand on its daily cir- culation; the Z'imes about eight thousand, and the penny paper that advertises the letters has Acereased probably nearly fifteen thousand. During the period that elapsed hetween the no- mination of General Pierce and the develope- ment of his erroneous policy hy his Cabinet, the Henan increased in circulation about ten thousand. Since we came out boldly against the course pursued by the administration, and have been exhibiting the inconsistent conduct of the Cabinet, compared with the principles of the inaugural address, we have added, in a few weeks, nearly eight thousand to our former ex- tended circulation, These facts indicate pretty conclusively the tone of the popular mind, and the direction it ik now taking. MASTER OF TRoy.—A few days ago we made some statements relative to the defalcations, deficiencies, and other iniquities recently perpe- trated by a distinguished politician appointed to the Postmastership of Troy by the present Van Buren dynasty; and we drew some reflec- tions from the circumstance, in connection with the future. On this subject we find the tollow- ing reply in the Troy Budget of last Satur- be New York Herp of this morning sontaius an editorial article relative to tie Postmaster in this city, that is of 8 most remarkable enarscter. It charges that Mr. Bosworth is defaulter to the amount of $50,000 or $60,000, in h's official capacity. Upon inquiry wo ars aa- tiefed thet the whole statement is a gross aad maslicioas fabrication, without any foundation whatever. The amount stated stamps the whois article with falichood, for if there bad been any deficit ia Mr, Bosworth’s ac count it could not by any means have been a tenth part of the sum ttaved. even if he bad abstracted tho entire receipts of the office since thé last quarterly settlement on the Ist of Uctober, or ever since he has been iu the office, The whole erticle is of an utterly infainous cha. racter, evidently concocted for mischievous and interested purpores. The Hitkary ic curs no little respon sibility in giving curreney to euch dastardly libels, and a journal that will lewd itself to rch uses deserves to be eld up to the deep scorn and cumtempi of every houor- able minded man. Jn regard to other reports in circulation relative to Mr. . We AYE satinfied thet they are gros#ly exsgyerated: and as they have been explained, ara of a character widely different (rom what they have been represeated. The best reply to the impudence of this arti- cle from the Troy Budget will be found in the following statement, taken from the Albany Evening Journal, and copied into that paper from the Tribune of this city :— THE FORGERY CASE AT TROY. [Correspondence of tho New York Tribune } Troy, Friday, Nov. 18, 1858. Forster Fosworth, Mayor and Postmaster of this city, has been detected in nomerons forgeries of a small amount on Father Haverman, a Catholic clorgyman, Al- ford W. Watking, sines deceased, and Jamas R. Prentice, grocer on Ida Hill, The wuole amozat of the above would probably not exceed a thousand collars, but there are other rumors, anf vezy current t00, that lie hea used the name of bis father and father-in-law for large suns which may bend them beyond the power of rising He has hitherto been considered one of the most reliable business men in the city, having been engaged in the wholesale grocery business, and having been mora recent- ly of the firm of Bosworth & Holmes’ How to necount for his obliquity all are et & lose, yet no ore doubts the circumstances as narrated in the streets. When old and respectable citizens are appreached ond asked their opi nion as to the charges alleged agaiost Bosworth, they all exclaim : ¢ I fear it is bot too true,” and pass on wonder. ing how itean be Father Haverman went to the bauk to Graw son @ money, wlien he was told he bad overdrawn, and showed a note of scme $700 oa him, endorsed by Fos: ter Bosworth. The Rey gentleman taok up the note and showed it to Fosworth, asking him if he knew anything about it He eaid he did, and, after explaining and apolo- giting, he took out suo or$ a ked the Priest how jong he could giv twenty minutes, aud if would get rome one to help him: or, inal $ him. ‘The money was raixed, ani to, I believe, with the other small notes. There is a great mystery here about it, and every one fe tell worth wat elected last March by an overwhelming majority, 1thiak not me lees than a thousand, over George Gould, who was then Mayor. There was 10 be 8 meeting of the Comimou Coun- cL last evening, but they merely mot and adjouravd until this evening. On ihis subject we believe little else may be said; but we should like to hear what the Troy Budget eays of the correction. The yirtuous indignation of our cotemporary at Troy reminds us of a story attributed to Mr. Bill, a scientific operator, who is now serving ten years in State prison for breaking into banks. Some accused Bristol Bill of being a cofumon thief; Bristol denied it with great indignation. ‘Iam nota thief,” said he; “I never wasa thief; I never was so mean a creature as to be a thief; I ac- knowledge I have been a burglar, and broke in- to banks, and robbed banks like other flaanciers, but I never descended to the level of being a thief.’ Wenced not make the application of our story. JouN Mirener— aLyY Inverestia LEt- TER.—We publish to-day, exclusively. a highly interesting letter from John Mitchel, written immediately before his escape, and intended to vindicato his character from misrepreseniation, in reference to the dangerous step he was about to take, in the event of his being killed or cap- tured in the struggle. Mr. Mitchel remarks that it would be quite an casy matter to escape from the island if he violated his ticket of leave; but to avoid dishonor, and yet to suc- ceed, was the difficulty, Not only did he sue- ceed, but succeeded in his own bold, character- istic way. The authorities, who had been com- pletely off their guard, by the belief that he never would attempt to escape, were complete: ly confounded and bewildered when he surren- dered in person his ticket of leave, and asked to be taken into custody. Before the magis- trate recovered from bis bewilderment, Mitchel, who rightly thought he was not bound toremain any longer, was on his horse, which was out- side in waiting, and, after six weeks of diffical- ty and danger, finally escaped from British ground. In the letter we publish he gives reesons for making the attempt to escape to the American republic--his worship of whose principles did not begin in his exile. He siood up for this country when it was assailed by O'Connell, many years ago, in his native land. He was the first man there, in modern times, that declared for repnblicanism; and now, in his own eloquent words, he naturally ~ seeks refuge from tyrants at the ever-open sanctuary door of our grand republic—mighty uursing- mother of liberty and justice !—cradle of God’s evangelists of vengeance!” Altogether the letter is in perfect keeping with the career and character of this remarkable man, and will be perused with deep interest by all our readers.
