THE NEW. ———— YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 7751. MAYORALTY MEETING IN WALL STREET. Bomination of Daniel F. Tiemann Ratified—Mr. Cooley, the American Candidate, Presides, and ‘Withdraws His Name in Favor of Mr. Tic- mann—Peter Cooper Relieves Mr. Cooley im the Duties of the Chairmanship— of Mr. Cooley, Recorder Smith, Mr. Hoxie and Mr. Montgomery—Resolutions, &o., &o., &. Ascoond mecting of those opposed to the re-election of ‘Mr. Wood to the Mayoralty of this city was beld yesterday afterneon in front of the Merchanta’ Exchange. The air was bitingly cold, and that bed its offect, it may well be supposed, on the numerical strength of he meeting. Then there was much disappoint- ment at the last fizzle that was got off at the same place and with the same object last Saturday; ‘and that, too, must have had ite effect in diminishing the attendance. Whether there were any other causes at work Qeading towards the same ond cannot now be verified, but eertain it is that the demonstration of yesterday afternoon was, in point of numbers, not to be compared to that of Jest faturdey, Still there was a large assemblage pre- gent when the meeting was called to order. Mr. Cooley, the American nominee for the Mayoralty, was elocte President of the meeting, and was saluted ‘wnh three cheers. ME. COOLEY’S SPEECH. Ho said:-—Fellow Citizens—I feel deeply penetrated by there menifestations of your kind regard. Tam aware, Rewever, that this applause flows from the noble sentiments Qhas pervade this vast assemblage in favor of a united #Aort ior city reform rather than any spring in the human bosom that my feeble abilities are capable of vi- brating. (Applause.) [thank you for the distinguished Bonor that you have conferred upon mo in selecting me to preside over your deliberatiorfs on an occasion of 80 much Public interest, fraught as itis with the animating bope sat the day of our deliverance from the odious thraldem ~poxed upon us by a corrupt and unprincipalied public deer i8 at hand. (Cries of “Good.”) Hore there was a slight disturbance in the crowd. Some srson hissed, and called for three cheers for Fernando Food, and was therefore unceremoniously expelled from e street and hauled off to the most convenient station mano. When the excitement produced by this little incident had subside’, Mr. Cooley was encouraged to go on. Mr Coorzy went on. He said—We are assemblod to con- sider, to somo extent, the deplorable condition of our mu- nicipal affairs, If we examine all the departments of the oity government, what do we find? We be hold a dan gerous band of incompetent, irresponsible, un-crapulous bad man—(Voices—That’s so)—not seeking how best to subserve the public interest by @ faithful discharge of je doo duty, bet incessantly scheming and plowing toge- ther daily how “ney can most effectually rob the people. (Fxclamations of assent.) These despicable creatures, with avast multitude of thieves, burglars, pickpockets and asragsins are supposed to be led on and encouraged t perpetrate the most diabolical deeds by a treacherous, cowardly and most unmitagated demagogue, self capable of every conceivable enormity in the catalogue of crime. (Cries of ‘‘Good.’') Such, fellow citizens, being the undoubted character of your rulers— of the administrators of your government and your laws --ie iterrange that your taxes are annually increasing to an extent that strikes overy property holder with aston- ishment, and that fills the whole community with alarm? bs it etrange that your streets, encumbered with filth, are the incessant scenes of theft, pillage and axxaasination, and that life and liberty, even, are held in light esteem or regard? Is it strange that your Corporation credit de- elincs, and thai your noble city itseli hax become a by- word and reproach among civilized meu? Fellow-citizens, we have reached a crisis in our municipal history, and we must look it sternly in the face and meet it mapfully, or @ive we must fal! ignominiously into a condition worse than Deman bon‘age, to rise no more. The present incumbent @: tbe Mayoraity claims to be the regular candidate of the demvcratic party for re-election, but he has been openly Tepudisted recently In a series of resolutions condemning in tofo hig anti-democratic doctrines—which resolutions wore passed almost by acclamation in the General Com- mittee of his own perty. (Applause.) Therefore he cannot be supported at the approaching election on party grounds, {eres of “ro, po.””) A® a man he is utterly faithless and jiess, and must inevitably fail by the deadweight of hit own reprehensible conduct. The people bave at lust p this matter into their own hands, and candidate of their own choice such ny to fill the exalted stauon of this great city. He ts a man to whom all good mon of all es can confide the imycriant trusts thatare about to be placed in his hands. Feliow-c'tizens, my humble name having appeared in coonection with that office, it has been suggested that a écclaration more distinet in terms than was expressed in the statement by me receotly published would be desira ‘Me, I now beg to declare that I am not in any sense a eaniiate for the Mayoralty, or any other . (De- Bynstrations of satisfaction, and three cheers for Cooley.) At the game time, I would also publicly express ny thanks to the large and highly respectable body of my fellow citizens who tendered t me the nomination ina manner «o highly honorable to themselves, and so fatter- lng to me, and toaesure them that I never will cease to fold it in Kind remembrance, aware that the nomination ‘was mate as a sucrifice of party, to some extent. What fofivence my present position’ may have on that sec: Yon of my fellow-citians, it is quite impoasi- Ble for me to 1 trust, however, that, forget ‘ang all that hae passed in that connection, they way be found Ling’ by ghd our support in the impending Dour of need, and that our city government may be tho: Toughly and effectually purged from the villany that now Bo conspicuonsiy poliutes and defies it, (Choers.)

Mr. Cooper took the chair amid noisy demonstrations of respect, and said a few words in ackdowledgement thereof. RECORDER SMITH 8 SPEECH. Mr. Recorder Sata next took the stand. He did not appear before them, be said, for the purpose of fully dis- curt the merits of the question, nor was that the object of this immense assemblage. This was one of those occa- sions which, for the credit of the forms of government uncer which they lived, and for the credit of the people, he rejoiced to say were rare. It was not often that people had to take such measures; but the gross corruptions of the chief magistrate of this city had caused the people thus to assemble together for the purpose of driving him, as ap ingrate, a@ traitor and a robber, from the which he diegraced. That chief magistrate had been charged as a robber, as a forger, as a thief, andasa scoundrel. These things were dixgraceful to the citizens of New York; and the only reason why it happened was that they could not believe, when these charges were first made, that a man whose character was thus bad would have dared to ask b's fellow citizens to elevate him to a of responsi- b lity and trust. They had quietly sta; home from the polls, too, for the reason that they they would not be permitted to exercise their righis as citizens. (Cries of That's so’) That, however, would not be the case again. They bad now, thank God, a law and a police Urat were not under the centrol of that rufflan. (A voice: “Bully for you.) They might go to the polis at the next election without fear of having their heads broken and of being knocked down and trampled upon by the hired yuftians and bullies who form the guard Fernando Wood apy ng He #o stated, that his fellow citi- wm ne migbt not be di ged in coming forward to the rescue of their chy from the grasp minions.

This was not merely the declamation of a politician. Tt was the firet time that he bad ever addressed other than a democratic assemblage on a political subject; for he (Mr. Smith) was a democrat, but not sufficiently a demo crat to forget his duties to the public #o far as to sustain a men whom he considered ao thoroughly corrupt as Fer- nando Wood. Fernando Wood, he assured them, was not the nominee of the democrats of the city of New York.

If he was asked who Daniel F.

MR. MONTGOMERY'S SPEECH. Co}. Mowtcomery, being loudly called for, then took the stand and was grested with applause, and’ cries of “Put eee pa He said—I =r nee ba Sy am not asham. my gray hairs; thoug) y are the compan tons of old age, Sasareast always the proofs of it.

(Cheers and laughter.) When I assured them that I was not, then they thought F mnst be his son, at least. There were bets upon it. Committees were appointed to waitapon mo and sek me, and J told them that those who had bet that I was not his son won the wager. I had seven reasons for knowing that Iwas not, and the first was that General Montgomery had died long ago fighting in his country’s cause, and though he was married he never had a child or aby.’ Shall I give you the other six reasons? (‘ No; that’s enough,” and cheers.) This is a bad place to spoak, and as we are to meet at the Academy of Music op Tuesday evening, I wi reserve much of what I have to say for that occasion. My friend Hoxie said that he was limited to fivo minutes; but I would like to know by what roguiator ho sets hie watch; for I think he addressed you for seven minutes and a half, so | am limited to two and a half. I will tell you at the Academy what right I have to on this question. It may be said that I do not live in York; but I resided you for fourteen years; I mar- ried a wife here, and I feel as if] was born in the city. I never made a political speech before, and if I had been asked to speak here for any political party I would not have come. The candidate you have nominated is not the candidate of a party,and I rejoice to find all parties united on aman who is worthy of the office of Mayor of this city. I don’t know the present incumbent personally—I don’t know Mr. Tiemann either—but I never found any one who knew him to say that he was not an honest man; and I am eure that pot a man could be found, with common sense and judgment, to say that Fernando Wood was an honest man. Now, I will conclude by saying that every ‘one ef you is bound to come to the rescue of the city and of the country. This is the Empire City of the Empire State of the Union, and if the news react Europe that fraud and rascality in the executive head of our municipal affairs are endured and abetted here, it will damage the reputation of the entire country. (Cheers.) Mr W. H. Antuow then arose and said:—Fellow citizens, atan immense assemblage of the electors of the city of New York, held at this place on the 14th day of November—an assemblage which convened together spontaneously , |may almost say, for the purpose of expressing their approval of measures calculated to reform the administration of our municipal affairs, and to hurl from power that corrupt and ambitious demagogue, Fernando Wood— (loud cheers)—a committee was appointed for the porpose of reporting to an adjourned meeting to be eld at this place at some time to be fixed, the name of @ suitable person to be voted for by the electors of the city of New York, as the Mayor of this great Me tropolis. That Committee have carefully performed the duties so highly responsible, and so highly honora. ble, confided to their ctarge, and the result of their de Mberations I shall now give you, if such be your pleasure. (Cries of “Yes.””) In the report. which {co aeae read. I would, in the first place, however, remark that an extended address upon this great and overwhelmingly important subject. has been prepared, which will not be Tead to you this afternoon, because there are several emi- nent speakere who are about to address you. That ad- dress will, however, be in due time printed, will be print- ed in the city papers, and will be generally and univer- rally circulated throughout the length and breadth of the metropolis. (Cheers, and cries of “Good.”) The report of the committee is as follo The committee appointed at the mass meeting of citizens held at the Merchants’ Exchange, on the 14th inst. , to con fer with other committees representing various political organizations, and report the name of a suitable candidate for the mayoralty, have performed the duty assigned to them with careful deliberation, and a profound sense of their responsibility to the community. They announce that they have accepted the issue which the citizens of New York have been dared to meet, between the continu- ance of the ‘nt corrupt admimistration of the affairs of the city, anda thorough and radical reform of crying abuses, by presenting for the suffrages of their follow citizens, for Mayor, the namo of Daniel F.

It was then to adjourn to Tuesday evening, at the Academy of Music, where it was announced that Mr. John McKeon and other prominent democrats would deliver addresses. The meet- ing then adjourned. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Politically 1am or bave been a “republican,” but my love of Justice is greater than my attachment to party. 1 was prevent at ‘the people’s’’ meeting convened in Wall street yesterday afternooll, and | will assert, foarloss of tangible contradiction, that it was in many respects a dis- race. i have heen, during my life, led to believe, that within the bounds of decency, speech was free in New York; but 80 it was not in Wall street. Tbeard at the meeting egy tagged Ne ona spectanany and intelligence call for “three cheers for ‘ood;"’ and no sooner had he uttered these words than he was gagged and violently dragged through the strocta, like a molefactor, and safely deposited in the most conve- nient station house. Another perron, reapectable as any other mani who took re in that meeting, upon hearing: Recorder Smith assert that he was a democrat, replied, “You are a black republican.’’ He, too, was roughly weized by the throat, and, amid the jeers and gaze of a motley crowd, marched like @ thief to prion. And these were not the only cases which came at that meeting under my immediate aitention. Friends of the latter accompanied him to the station house, and upon requesting the Captain, or Lieutenant I believe, to rel prisoner, ce was, ‘No, not till the meeting adjourna. Ho is a W man.’’ Can euch things he permitted to continue in our midst? and from our model police, wo? A CITIZEN, ‘The U Again, yesterday, the steps in front of the Cty Hall and the ground adjacent to them were thronged by the work- ing classes, According to announcement from one of their speakers on the day previous, to the effect that a meeting would be held there at 11 o'clock, they began to congre- gate at that tine, and were soon afterwards addressed by one of their number, named Richard Moore, who paid that the workingmen are foolieh if they have anything to do with politicians. They will carry youon by telling you that there ie plenty of work for you before the election comes on, though they will not give you any; and then, when it te over, the frost will have set in, nothing can be done, and you may starve. (A voloe "That's #0.) Will you be foole any , and submit such “treatment. (Cries of “No, no.") 1 4 advice you to be peaceable until Tuesda: y morning next, until we see if there is any’ cing to be done up to that time by the Commissioners fie Central Park, and then to hold a meeting in Tompkins jware—a meeting of work: , hot of committece— ‘which are only uneful for di Jing the efforts of the work. , and thereby annul all their endeavors to effect anything for the good. From thence I would ad- ‘vise you to march in a body to the Commissioners at Con- tral Park, and demand your rights like men and citizens. (Cheers, and eries of ‘ We will.”") An old man, named Mutler, next came forward to ad- dress the crowd; but after he had to 9 a” few words, in a mild tone, and with considerable ity, a tumult was raed which indicated that neither his sent) Menta nor Manner were auited to the minds of his hearers: and this was succeeded by cries of “Put him down,” “Old fogy,”” &e.; and after a few forble efforts he was compelled to desist, and extricate himeeif from those who thronged bim aimost to suffocation for the purpose of annoyance. CHAREES SMTA NOW a tn the crowd, and aftor Proasing his wey torwe to the place of the epeakera was received with cheers The substance of his apeceh was to the effect that the Commissioners of the Central Park are Peg ig the working clasecs, that they wanted to em. committee to break stones ata dollar a day, and that in consistence with their other actions they mis Ps obey the interview that the Cy! e with erm in the eyes of the throng! preas.

None of the committee were rumeellers (A yoice—"' What's Ma- guire!')

The speaker thon went on in the atyle, exhorting all to be united if they want to obtain during winter. And the meeting broke up shortly after he bad concluded, appa- rently much dissatisfied with the proceedings of the day.

PROGRESS OF THE REVOLUTION—SEVERE SENTENCY OF AN AMERICAN CAPTAIN—INSULTS TO THE AMERICAN OONSUL—MR. ELLIO‘Y PROTEOTED BY ‘THE FRENCH ADMIRAL, ETC., HC. We havo received advices from St. Domingo to the 22d ‘ultimo. ‘The position of the contending parties thero had not altered materially since our previous dates. Gen. Santana was etill besieging the capital, which is held by Baez with a force of about 900 men, but being without any adequate naval force he cannot make it « close blockade, Nearly or quite all the respectable inhabitants had either left the city or been driven away by Baez, and the majority of those who remain are opposed to hie rule; but being with- out arms and in the presence of a suporior force, they can do nothing. All the rest of the republic recognises the rule of the provisional government cstablished at Santiago do los Caballeros, and it is generally supposed that Prosident Baez cannot bold out much longer. Tho captain of the American schoonor Charles Hill, which was seized by Baez some time since, for having run into a Dominican schooner of war, and damaged her to the extent bout $100 in value, has been sentenced to im- it for one yearand two days, and a fine of $3,000; is vessel has been seized and is now in possession of the Dominican government, which is using her as a man of war. ‘The position of our Consul at St. Domingo, Jonathan El- Nott, Esq., is most annoying to himself and family,and un- pleasant to every one of the foreign residents. In conse- ee he ol ‘regia him fag eh ush Consul jeneral, Senor Segovia, ori nating in the wholesale natu- ralization by the latter of natives of all classes and colors us Spanish subjects, Baez, who sided warmly with Senor Se- govia, was perecuting the Consul and American citizens generally, in the most ontrageous-manuer. He was al- most daily insulted, and frequently at might mobs would collect around his house and annoy the family, shouting, halloing and calling him opprobrious epithets. On one of these occasions the Admiral, who was in port, hearing of the matter, shore, and finding the true state of affairs, preceeded at onco to the residence of President Baez, fronting on the harbor, and demanded an interview. Ho thon told tho President what was being enacted around the house of the Ameri- can Consul, and requested that these things should be stopped. Baez pretended not to believe them, and finally said that he bad nothing to do with them if they were so. ‘The Admiral told. him firmly that they must be stopped by the government, or he wonld land a force of marines and take upon himself to stop them. The President still persisting in his denial, the Admiral at once stepped out upon the balcony of the palace, and making a signal with his handkerchief, several boats, filled with marines, at once put off from both the French and English ships of war in the harbor. On seeing this Baez at once gave orders to an officer, and the insulting assemblages around the American Consulate were stopped from that time. It is to be hoped that the Cyane sloop-of-war, now on her way to Haytito settle some difficulties there, has orders {¢ proceed at once to San Domingo and protect Mr. Elliott, and to look into the case of the Captain of the Charles Hill. The Walker Expedition. SOME OF THE PERSONNEL OF GENERAL WALKER’S SECOND NICARAGUAN EXPEDITION, Amongst tho officers who have accompanied General Walker in his second descent upon Nicaragua, we flnd mention of some who have honorably distinguished them- selves on other fields. Col. T. Henry, of Albany, N. Y., a8 sergeant of the 7th Regiment U. §. A., carried the colors into the Telegraph fort at Cerro Gordo, for which gallant action he was pro- moted to a frat lieutenancy. He served in the first Nica. raguan expedition, and was wounded eight times. Lieut.-Col. G. T. Tucker, of Vermont, served as captain of the Mounted Rifles in the Mexican war, was wounded there, and received honorable mention for his gallantry in several despatches. Lieut. Col, Swingle, of Boston, commanded a company in Texas, and was present at the battle of San Jacinto. Tn Rivas he get up a foundry during the siege, and cast the first iron ever cast in Central America. Capt. J, C. Fayssoux, was one of Loper’ firet expedition to Cuba, When the steamer Creole ran into the bay of Car- denas to land the filibusters, she gounded a short dis tance from the wharf. Capt. F. quietly let himself down into the water, with a rope in his mouth, and swimming tothe pier climbed up and made it fast,’ standing by the knot until the steamer had been hove in near enough to permit his companions to land. schooner San Jose on the Pacific, and blew up the Costa Rican brig-of-war Once de Abail during a desperate fight at sea. Besides these there are a number of other officers and Privates who have seen hard service. {From the New Orleans True Delta.

His Excellency had the choice of either the mission to Washington or the court of St. James, but gave the preference te the latter. By information received at Mubile from Charteston, the Mobile Tribune learns that an expedition had started pri vately from that place for Nicaragua, If the above is true, says the Tribune, it is probable that similar expeditions have set out from many other points on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, and that, in ac cordance with previous arrangements, they will all meet al some place of general rendezvous.

L. He dson; Commander, M. Ponnoek, epecial ker vice) ; Lientenants, James H. North, Joshua D. fod, Jobe Guest, Wm. D. Whiting, Edward Y. McCauley, Beverly Kennon; Purser, Joaeph ©.

Hudson; Purser’y Clerk, Kaward Willard; Boatswain, Robert Dixon; Carpenter, H. P. Leslie; Gunner, Jobn Webber; Sailmaker, Wan. B. Fugitt. From the time of her departure till her arrival off our coast, the Niagara encountered a eeries of severe gales and during the lasteix or seven days of the voyage they blew from the northwest. In addition to unfavorabl wo:ther she had to contend against the old difficulty—the defective manner in which the iron work of the riggias was done. It may be remembered that this was one o the principal causes of the long passage which she mad on her trip to England last April, and that by the givin way of a portion of the rigging threo men nearly lost their lives, It was found necessary,on her way here, to se cure the top and topgallant masts by strong hawsers, and bad pot these precautions been — tak it iv believed she woulu have lost several of her spai ader thege circumstances it is not to be wondered at if, her passage to Fngiand and on her return, she should not Pave realized the expectations that have been formed re garding her sailing qualities. However, one day’s run, with a fair though uot a strong b reeze, will show what she is panne of aecomplishipg in the sailing line. From 12 o'clock of the Sth instant to twelve of the following day she ran by observation three hundred and twenty three miles, and gave abundant evidence that, with tho wind from the right quarter, she could throw off ninetoon and twenty miles. But while tho iron part of the rigging was so defective the machinery worked admirably, pro- pelling ber right in the teeth of the gale at. the rate of six miles an hour, and accomplishing all that the most san guine could expect. As we stated on a former occasion, the arrangements for the reception of the cable on the return of tae ship te Frgland next year have not been disturbed. The circles in nd on the orlop and main decks remain as they the cable sheaves over the bow and stem are their old position, Nothing has been removed ex cept the cable iteelf, and that, we are assured, notwith- vtanding the reports to the contrary, is in as perfect a condition as when itcame out of the factory, The offi cers’ wardroom has not even been altered, and (hose wi visit the vessel may have some idea, from the condition ‘of this part of it, of some of the pleasures of cable laying. Everything, @ fact, in and about the ship, remains un- changed ; and what is better than all, the officers return in ag good if not better healt went on the expedition. It is sel we understand, that they are to go out next year, and the great practical rience which all, {rom the ¢aptain to the hamblest an on board, have od in cable laying will prove invaluable on the sec § Before the Niagara lett Plymouth ord by the naval commander of that port fror at London to pay off and put the Agame! her cable is diseh n that of 3 equence of its great dand fifty miles h ived from the Niag the whole mained untouched from from the factory at Greenw! that when the Agamemnon goes out on the expedition next year, she will be placed under the command of a post captain, though it is not yet known who is. to receive the appoint ment, It is extremely doubtful whether this act of the British government, in supersoding her commander, Mr. Noddall, a gentleman whose competency for the task has never been questioned, will work well for the Atlantic Telegraph Company or the success of the enterprise. The experience which Mr. Noddall: and bis offleers have had in the work is invaluable to the company, and it is to be hoped that no change wilt be made in the commands of the English, as none will be made in that of the American ships. The importance of this point cannot be too strong ly urged upon both governments. ‘The machinery for the work of laying the cable next summer has been contracted for, and wil. cost somewhere about thirty thousand dollars.’ It is to be thoroughly toated before the sailing of the expedition, so that any de fects it may have can be remedied in ime, With proper machinery, such as can be made between this and next spring, au thousand miles of cable to perform the work with, no doubts whatever need be entertained of its sneceas. But to accomplish it successfully, it is essentinl that the same ships, the kame commanders ant the same officers should be appointed. ‘An incident of much interest to the officers of the Nia ara occurred gome time before their departure from | Plymouth, They received an anonym wer inform them that in one corner of the old church yard ot mouth lay the remains of Lieut.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. New Youn, Nov. 20, 1857 In an article which appeared in tho Hunatn of today tt is stated that a Sgt occurred between the runners of Hose Company No. 6 and those of Engine No. 41. ‘The statement is erroneous, The facta are these, Ata fire which took place im Mulborry etreet, at twelve P.M, on Wednesday, and while preparing to return home, wo were avrailed by a party of ruf™lans, armed with stones, clubs and pistole, and who rallied at the ery of “Sail in Rabbits," and we have not them to thank for our safe de deliversnuce. By the ard of the police the intended marderors were diepersed, and we proceeded home without farther mo lestation. On Inst evening, while proceeding to the fire in Liberty street, we were again assailed by the same party, and had it not been that Engine Company No. § preceded us up the hill in Chatham stroct we would most assuredly have fared worse, the major portion of the crowd being waged in an indiscriminate attack on the rope of the above engine. A second time last evening were we attacked; the Inet cocasion being on our passage through Fulton street, by some of this same party, who were with Hook and Lad- der No. 11. As to our being in any way antagonistic to Engine Com ny No, 41, it is a misrepresentation; the unanimity of Fecilng which existe between both companies ia well known throughout the department, And I wish to ro mark, that if we cannot be protected against the asaanits of rowdies while discharging our duty as firemen, we will take some efficient means to ensure our xafety.

The intention was, it appears, to farm a ministry merely for business, to carry on affairs until the elections in June, 1858. Since then, M. de Prouckere having ascertained fram several conferences with members of the left that auch a position would be untenable for any ministry, found himself obliged to in- form the King that the projected arrangement could not be carried out, and that he feared it would be impossible for him to compose @ Cabinet.

On the occasion of the return of the Emperor of Russia to his States, the Invalide Ruste publishes an article on the interview of Stuttgard, in which is the following pas- sage relative to the Holy Alliance:— ‘The grand defect of the Holy Alliance is that it was not on any positive idea.
