As it was impossible for the immense concourse of peo- pie to get inside of the Academy of Music, several meet. Ings were organized outside that building, one of which, ‘and perhaps (he largest, was beld in Irving place. Three ‘ethers were organized in Fourteenth street, which was 80 Shronged that it was almost impassable. The number watside the building altogether might bo estimated at Bdout five thousand, and these were increased at intervals: Dy processions of ward associations, bearing he banners ‘of their different societies, and transparencies. There was no lack of speakers, and certainly ne want of enthusiasin om the part of the audiences. Two caicium lights were Drought to bear upon Irving place and Fourteoath street, and added considerably to heighten the effect of the seene. In Irving place the speakers addressed the crowd from a high stoop, which was certainly pre- ferabie © a platiorm for many reasons, Dut chiefly be- cause there was no danger of ite breaking down,” This meeting was organized by the appointment of Mr. West as President and Mr. Charles Smith as Secretary, Mr. Weer commenced his remarks by speaking of the opposition | which bad been exhibited towards Mayor Wood as unjust, anfair and cowardly As for the candidate by whom be bs opposed, said he, only one opinion can be entertained— that he is Cotally unqualified for the office for which he bas Deen nominated, both by his political career, his charao- fer, and his peculiar inclinations, As a dealer in paints, be continued, he may do very well; but as Mayor of New Fork he would not do at all.” (Appiause.) Even his own party must be convinced of his incompevency. and there was not one among them—no matter how bitter was his personal opposiion t Mayor Wood—bat must admit that in point of talent and adimini-trative ability he was every ‘way the superior of the paint manufacturer. If the de mozracy were determined, therefore, to stand by their eandidute, who had proved himself the champion of mu- nicipal rights, and who had flung bimself into the front rauks when they were assailed, they would stand by Bim and see that the Wall street gentry, the kid-gloved aristocracy o! Union square and the Fiftti avenue, did not Tun away with the victory. (Applause.) The democracy mist arouse themselves and be prepared to meet their opponents on the Lrst Tuesday in December, with that i'm front with which they had ever met the enemies of pular rights and liberty ewed a ) They Kato mare money, said the speaker, than we lave, for the cemocracy is composed of the Working classes; ‘Dat we have the voters. We must take care, however, that they don’t take some of our voters away from us, by those unfair and tricky means upon which they have al ys relied, and which they will now employ to secure victory for their champion. A Vorce—They can’t get a democrat. SreakER—No. they can’t get a true democrat; but there are some, I regret t say, Who are only too willing and ready to sell their party for paltry pelf. (Groans.) Bat what does the democracy care for these while the rank and filestand true to their colors. (Applause.) They have Bever yet been defeated when determined on success, and what stronger proof do we require than the vast crowd that Lave responded to the call this evening. Do we need any stronger assurance of success in the coming (Cries of “No, no."?) No. I say the demo sracy, the workingmen, will come out in their strength, ‘and wieu they do what power can resist thea? Cheers.) The next speaker was Dir. A. J. Cuapszy, who addressed the meetin Fellow democrats, said be, we have had some defections in our camp, but we are ¢ ad the traitors have leftus, for there are enough go00 and true men to secure us a Victory over the biack Fepubi tion. (Applause.) The democrats are power erous eLough W elect their candidate, nc we can, therefore, spare these traitors from our ranks. I love the name of democrat, no matter whether he ea poor man or a rich man, because it is a name that is Synonymous with liberty. (Applause.) 1 tell you a voice wll go up from the democracy that will be heard through- out the land and that will glauden the hearts of all true levers of municipal freedom. We can spare hundreds and thousands of traitors, and yet triumph. The men who have left us and gone over to cur opponents are not from the bonest bard working democracy. No! they are the ruilled shirt and kid-gloved gentry—they are those who have drank de the fountain of privilege and ‘who have received the highest favors at the hands of the democracy A Vorsk—Joha MeKeon. Tux Sreakek—Who was Benedict Arnold?’—he was not a rivate soldier—oo, but ane of the upper crust, one of the igher orders, and it was he who eudeavored to subvert the liberties of the pecple. So it is with us to day—the Waitors are thoxe who have occupied positions of trast and emojument, apd who, unmindfal of the favors they have received, turn agaumt us when we are about to ge in the struggle.

What are their antecedents? What is their luence? That arrayed against Fernando Wood are men like C. God- Irey Gunther, John Van Buren, John McKeon, and Daniel B. ‘Sickles, is neither a matter of surprise or regret. Neither of the gentlemen whose names I bave mentioned, however, had any surplus or personal character to jeopar: dive by apostacy. (Groans.) They have always been re- garded in our ranks as “scabby sheep,” (laughter,) as men with weak heads and bad hearts—as time-servi and upprincipled tricksters—as persons incapable of mor or political honesty—as disorganizers and factionists—as guerillas that ever hung in robber watchfulness upon the outskirts of our ranks. Hitherto they played the part of Venitian assassins, stabbed and waylayed us in the dark; Dut to day they proclaim themselves the open foes of our Party, and, therefore, in the name of the democratic party I challenge their venom—I defy their guile and deceit, and 1 deprecate their treacherous desertion. (Groans.) Tshall now, gentlemen, characterize these traitors, as they deserve to be characterized. And I shall begin by stating that I here proclaim, coolly, deli- derately and unflinchingly, my personal responsibility for whatever | utter. I cannot allude to the first name that I shall mention, without being classical; and however pe antic it may appear, the allusion is necessary. But the familiarity to you all of the author to whose infinite genius Tvhail reier for the syllogism, shall be my apology for the introduction of fietion im the characterization of living reality. With Wiliam Shakspere you are all acquainted. So have you all heard or seen that noble and inimitable play, ‘© Midsummer's Night Dream.”” In that uorivalied drama there is a character of world wide celebrity, Bot- tom the Weaver, who, by the magical power of enchant- ment, is transformed Into a natural ass, and is deliciously inclined to the natural wooing of Titania. Weil, the Bot- tom of modern thmes is C. Godfrey Gunther; but no charm- ing, lovely or seducing child ‘of fairyland woos him —nothing more nor less than the pure and unadulterated Medusa of Black “Republicanism”! (Laughter.) Poor Gunther! there is no one so poor as to do him honor. He stands almost alone, in the sad predicament of forsaken friendship—unwept, unregretted and despised. (Taugh ter.) He telis bis new allies that he can influence the German vote of this metropolis; but I tell him that he lies. 1 know the German nation, the German feeling, and the German nature better than he does. I have been upon beth sides of the Rhine and the Maine—-I have stodied German nationality—I am more of less acquainted with the stories and traditions of Gernfan land—I am con. versant with German history—I am somewhat imbued with German philosophy~and if I have any intellectual culture worthy of being recorded, it was sharpened, developed, and made vigorous by German logic. But Ihave yet to learn that the countrymen of Goethe, Schiller, Korver and Karl! Lud: Sands, are tied to the car of poor, dishonest and unprincipied C Godfrey Gunther. He, in: de ‘luentiall Why, my friends, I’ will relate to you how influential heis. “At the Democratic Mayoralty Con vention there were present 108 delegates, of which num. ber on the first ballot, Fernando Wood received ninety five votes, Gunther twelve, and Recorder Smith one. After- wards the nomination ‘of Mayor Wood was made unani- mous, it being well understood, however, that Mr. C. G. Gunther bad purchased the slim honor which he then and there received. (Laughter) That such a man is dis- graceful tothe party, no honor to the land of German patriotism, and of Do loss or consequence to the demo- cracy all will admit; and that every such rotten and fruitless branch may follow his ignoble, treacherous, envious cowardly, degraded, and unenviable ex: ample should be the hope and prayer of every indepen- dent democrat. Of Mr. John Van Buren, it is hardly me- cessary to speak. Him you know: his father you knew; ‘n past you know; with his honesty and consistency asa politician you are ail familiar; and his influence upon one party, either for good or for evil, need not here be : . But to you, my friends—whole souled, hardy, and confiding sons ef toil—I put it: could you have dreamed that the prince Van Buren, the son of our ex d one of our former Attorney Genorals; en reckoned in 1857 among the converts of Seward and Greeiey—could be found arrayed with the enemy in open antagonism to the nominee of the demo cratic party, and could have been reckoned among the traitors who first labored to sectionatize and destroy the Gemocracy of this emporium? (Groans.) Yet so it is! You have, doubtless, read copies of his letter to the meeting calied by the slaves and tools of Governor King at this building. It is true that letter was not entirely clear; but there isa French proverb which says that the style is the man, and few who bave read the epistle in question will fail to deny the appropriateness of the application. Its one of those uncertain, non-commit tal, intriguing and weak kind of documents which lessens: your respect for the author, degrades bim in your estima | tion, and fails not to make you brand him as the sontempt- ible and dubious John Van Buren. But when the wind blows the twig will follow its beuding inclination, and the | cloven foot of niggeriem has been long displayed’ beneath the Jesuit cloak of this ingrate and apostate, “Let him go. Who cares whither he may wander. We, democrats, can do without him. Our strength is not in # single man or in people, in the un- swerving will of the masses, in the potent voice of the democracy, and in the infallible justice of our cause.

And the oral history—the tales of giants and national champions of the olden time, re jated in my hearing by @ toiling and honest try, as well as the matchless eloquence of Irieh authors and Irish orators, added largely to the dvee- lopement of the little culture which I possess. (Cheers.) But there are some reasons why the Irish people should blush for their country.

On the car wore a number of mep and boys, some of whom bore torches in their hands and others transparencies. There were two or threo other cars also bearing banners and transparencies. The procession was greeted with cheering as it passed on its way wo the Academy, MEETINGS IN FOURTEENTH STREET. There were three meetings in Fourteenth street, one of which was held alongside of the Academy, and the other two on the opposite side of the street. Dr. Chadsey made another address at one of these, and the others were ad- dressed by Mr. Davis, Mr. Kerrigan, Mr. Shay and other gentieman, Mr. Davis, who is known as the advocate of the workingmen, spoke substantially as follows, and was frequently applauded in the course of his remarks:— Fellow citizens—As I have been introduced asthe work- ingmen’s advocate, T will say a few words in their behalf, in which I propose briefly to review the position of Mayor Weod when contrasted with some of Ms opponents, In 1854, when Mr. J. W. Barker was the Know Nothing candi. date,a body of workingmen felt it their duty toquestion the candidates upon measures they thought important to their interests, which Mr. B. answered in the affirmative; but ‘on being taken to task by the Courier and , sheet which always advocates the workingmen’s interests, Mr. Barker ‘bucked out and denied holding any such views as advocated by the work- ingmen. By this acthe was exposed, and perhaps the city was saved from evils that might have resulted from the election of a two feced man. Mr. Wood, on the con- trary, not only accorded with the spirit of the questions, ‘but practised them di his administration as far as the charter would permit; for when the panic came the Mayor instructed the Commissioner of Repairs and Supplies to employ two hundred and fifty men a day to pull down the ruins of the City Hall, by which act the suffering of many was relieved, And ‘again, in 1857, when another panic visits the land, and the laborer is thrown out of employ, Mayor Wood—true to his profession and former prac- tice—proposes measures for their relief. The Common Couneit humanely seconds a part of his proposition, and votes two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for relief; but as they could not use the money themselves, they placed it in the hands of the Central Park Commissioners to give work to the unemployed; but a majority of the Commissioners, being opposed to the Mayor, would not employ the men, lest they might fecl grateful to Mayor Wood and’ yote for his re-elec tion, and rather than have him elected they would see our streets filled with starving men and shoeless ehi l- dren, perishing for want. But these men go further. They have employeda few scurvy Arnolds among the workies to appear idle and clamor against the Mayor, saying he promised work and gave none. He did not promise, for he could not give; bat he recommended, and the Commissioners will not act. And now you witness a copglomerated mass of odds and ends of conservatisin marshalled to oppose, because, forsooth, he has proposed ascheme that might’ check their swindling the poor, by { charging them enormous prices for the necessaries of life. Here we find all the silk stocking aristocrats of Wall street, Know Nothings, black republicans and psuedo do- mocrats, who have pollutel the democratic party with their presence, all uniting for the purpose of deféating our Mayor, because he practically sympathises with the poor. Now, fellow-workmen and democrats, will you allow these men to divide you while they are united, and by that means allow the champion of the workingmen’s interest and city rights to be defeated, These men claim that it would Ue im politic to act npon the Mayor’s recommendations. It would be setting a bad | peor Dut these same hucksters can petition the égislature to suspend the operation of the law which would force them to wind up their banks for refusing to pay specie, and even go so far us to influence the Judges of the Court to say in advance before they came to trial, that the Court will violate the laws of the State and their oaths of office, if the people insist upon the laws being en- forced. Yet ‘these gentry are moral and upright men, and what would be virtuous in them would be a crime for Mayor Wood or the workingmen; but the workingmen | will meet in Tammany Ha‘! to-morrow evening, when we shall more at length and depth canvass the virtues of these saints, I hope every man wishing information will be present, when think we shall be en- abled to show these men in their true light. At one of the meetings Mr. Kerrigan sang the following “Song for the People” tothe air of “A wet sheet and a fi&eing sea,” which was loudly applauded, and in the chorus of which the whole audienze joined:— Good democrats, come all unite, Tet’s firmly take a stand, And never stop the goodly fight ‘Till usurpers leave the land. ‘Then let us nobly do our part For our municipal good; Let every man, with his whole heart, Sustain Fernando Wood. As for Greeley and his woolly fry— Let it be soily told— ‘Their Kansas baby it did die When ‘twas but two When born, it was As ere before seen: ‘The woollies hailed that child with jor— Oh, horror! it died before ‘twas weaned.

Near the close of the meetings there were between six apd seven thousand persons assembled in Irving place | and Fourteenth street, and take it altogether, the demon- Ftration Was one of the most successful ever got up by the democracy of New York. When the meeting at the Academy of Music adjourned, crowd formed into a procession and marched down to St. Nicholas, where they serenaded the Mayor, who made his acknowledgements in a few brief and appropri- ate remarks.

Ex-Judge Dean appeared to oppose the motion. He said the complaint was made on information and belief, and on that an injunction had been granted. The answer was drawn immediately on the service of the complaint, and an order to show cause was granted, The answer, how- ever, has not been served, and the issue has not beer joined; the motion was therefore it lar, That as the answer denied positively every all of the complaint, and as the allegations in the complaint were only on in’ formation and belief, while the answer was on the posi- tive knowledge of the defendant, there was no disputed fact. claimed that the fs Mr. Dean Court had no jurisdiction to grant any such order, and that Mayor Wood would be in ‘tready to be examined, subject to the order of any Judge. This was a mere electioneering suit, and they were just as anxious to have it disposed of as the plaintiff was, ‘The Judge was of spinion that the order conld not be granted, but he would take the papers and decide in the morning. ‘The ieilowing is the affidavit of Mr. Jollie, the contrac- tor, denying any connection of the Mayor or Mr. Benjamin ‘Wood in the transaction:— ‘The defendant, Samuel C. Jollie, for answer to the plaintiff's complaint, says:-— First—This defendant admits that the act known as the Metropolitan Police act charged upon said Board of Police he duty of prowiding ballot boxes for all general and spe- cial and charter elections in the cities of New York and Brooklyn. Second—This defendant admits that Simeon Draper, the ‘ormer President of said Board, and one of said Commis- sioners, offered the resolution in said complaint set out, for providing the ballet boxes required by said law; but he denies that no advertisement was ever published under said resolution; on the contrary, be avers, ou his own knowledge, that an advertisement was published under said resolution, in three public daily newspapers published in the city of New York, viz., the New York Daily Tribune, the New York Daily Times, and the New York Daily copy whereof is as follows: ‘the Board of Police Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police District will receive prot for supplying the dis irtet with ballot boxes until the Mt day of August next By order of the Board. GEO. W. EMBREE, Chief Clerk,pro tem. ‘Aud defendant says that in consequence of said. adver: tisement several persons offered to supply ballot boxes under said law, and that this defendant, among others, made a proposition to supply ballot boxes; that several others furnished the committee of said Board with speci mens of the ballot boxes they proposed to manufacture that and furnish for said purpose, and this defendant also furnished a specimen of his ballot box. ‘Third—This defendant admits the contract as stated and set out in the plaintiff's complaint, and admils that James WwW , one of said Commissioners, reported in favor of ibg @ contract with this defendant for the supply by defendant to said Board of ballot boxes of the pattern hibited by said defendant; and he avers, on information and betief, that said report of said Nye and sa: commit tee was adopted by said Board. Fourth.—Defendant says that he has in all things com- lied with bis said contract, and bas manufactured and de. ivered under the same the whole of the said ballot boxes; but whether they need or require the whole of the same at any one election this defendant is ignorant, and he is advised that the same is wholly immaterial to him. Fifth—This defendant tenies that he ever represented to said committee, or to said Board, that he ever bad a pa- tent for said glass ballot boxes, but on the contrary he says that he had applied for a patent therefor, and had the same stamped upon the frame of said ballot-box; but be avers that the said contract was not made with him on aceount of the application for a patent, but on the ground of the superiority of said ballot-box over all others pre sented to said committee or to said board. And be denies that said Nye & Cholwel! consented to said contract on the ‘ound, or for the reason, that they believed that this de- fendant had a patent for said ballot-box. Sixth—This defendant, on his own knowledge, denies that suid ballot boxes can be furnished or manufactured, or procured to be made, for four dollars and a half each, and at that price afford a large, or any, profit; and he denies that they are worth not more than five dolla e: but on the contrary, he avers that the actual cost «/ ufacture of suid ballot boxes was more tha: a piece, but he is advised that it is immat: tion what it cost to make or furnish se. to tt xes. Seventh—Defendant denies, on bis cwo »wiedge, that Benjamin Wood procured the said box: “© made ata cost of less than five dollars each, or th was the real party to the said contract; or that the vu» f this defendent was on!y used as a cover therefor; or that the said defendant, Fernando Wocd, was cognizant of the ar- rangement, or aby arrangement, between the said Jollie, this defendant, and said Beniamin, or was in any way in terested in said contract. But, on the contrary, this de fendant says that he was the real and only party inte- rested in said contract, and that his name was used there in, because he was the real inventor of said ballot box; and that so far from Fernando Wood ry! any interest i said contract. this defendant says that he never saw said Fernando Wood until the 12th day of August, the time the captract for said ballot boxes was made, aud then only in the presence of the committee; and that said Benjamin Wood, at the time, had no interest whatever in said contract, nor was there any arrangement between this defendant and said Benjamin Wood in reference said contract. Eighth—Defendant denies that on the 9th of Novem- ber, instant, he bad assigned bis said contract, or his inte rest therein, to Benjamin Wood, or Fernando Wood, or to avy person for their bevefit of the benefit of either of hem, or that the same was done for the purpose, or with a view of covering up, inany way, the said fraudulent iransactions, or for the purpose of covering up or conceal ng any transaction in reference to said contract. Nint ‘This defendant denies that said contract was a fraudulent one, or that said Fernando Wood is or was in apy way ,cither directly or indirectly , interested in the satt contract; but, on the contrary, avers on his own knowledge that said Fernando Wood has not now, and never bad, any interest, either direct'y or indirectly, in said contract, or in any profit to be derived therefrom. Tenth—The defeniant says that the tron castings attached to each box, if they weigh but twenty-six pounds, at four cents per pound would amount to but ove dollar and four cents, but he avers of bis own knowledge that said castings cost more than four cents per pound. He also admits from an arithmetical calculation that 4,000 of said ballot boxes $9 cach would amount to but $20,000, while 4,000 at $15 each would amount to $60,000; but he is advised and believes that said statement in the complaint is wholly and totally irrelevant and immaterial, Fleventh—And this defendant, in further answer to the said complaint, suy# that the same is without any equity; that be, this defendant, for the purpose of pre venting frauds at election, spent much time and made great efforts to diseover and invent the form and con struction of a glase box that, while it was transparent, sbould have sufficient strength for the parpose of a ballot box, and sent them for use in 1856 t Sun Francie where they were used and proved satisfactory: and 6 that he made the contract with the said Board of Police Commissioners, not only in his own nate, but that he was the only person interested therein, and that the rice to be paid bim therefor was but a fair remuneration For the expense af manufacture, including cost of material, labor, rent, cartage, breakage of gla, and time and trouble in experimenting and in perfecting the said in vention And as to all other matters in said complaint contained before specifically admitted or dented, he says eto to form: | belief , DEAN & DONOHUE, Attorneys for defendant Jollie, City and Co New Ye co Samuel C.

Before Hon. Judge Slosson, Nov. 27.—Hitchcock & Burroughs vs. the Allantic Mutual Insurance Company.—It will be recollected that afew years ago come gentlemen of filibustering celebrity were Dent upon acquiring Cuba, and an expedition was set on foot im this city for the purpose of iuvading that island, A large quantity of arms, ammunition, gun carriages, rifles, revolvers and other implements of war were shipped at New York on board the bark Victory, on voyage to St. Thomas, thence to Vera Cruz or Port aa Prince, or Aux Cayes, or some other port in St. Domingo. The whole cargo was valued at $60,000, and a policy for $16,000 was effected with the defendants by Mr. Appleton Oakemith. The Victory was subsequently lost at sea, and the plaintiffs sue as assignees of Mr. Oaksmith for the amount of the policy effected with them. The balance insurapce Was effected in other companies, For the defence it ‘was submitted that the policy was applied for by Apple- ton Oakemith, and that he suppressed certain facte as to the are and ginal " risk; that A verses ae an voyage, being for the purpose of an against @ fe ote which is at peace with the United States; the defendants also say that some portion of the cargo was secretly and fraudulently taken out of the ves- sel before she railed from New York, and that this was done im contemplation of a loss, and with intent to obtain payment for the same; also that the vessel was not sea- worthy, nor properly manned or fitted for the voyage, and that in consequence of such negligence she was not na fit condition to go to sea. ‘The case, which was commenced on Monday with every prospect of occupying the Court fora week or ton days, (ame to a very ludicrous termmation for the present erm. A large array of counsel were engaged, and over sixty witpesses subpenaed. For the plaintiffs tbere appeared ex-Judge Dean and Mr. Robert Andrews, For the defendants there were no less than six legal representatives—Mersrs. F. B. Cutting, D. Lord, D. D. Lord, Judah, Dickenson and Fessenden. Two days and a half Were consumed in hearing testimony, and the Court met on Wednesday morning (Evacuation day) for the ac- commodation of one witness who was obliged to leave town. During his examination, one of the jurors stepped from his seat and spoke to Mr. Lord, one of the counsel for the defendants, That gentleman referred the juror to the Judge, to whom he immediately communicated some im- portant fact that seemed to embarrass him (the je ) The Judge, addressing the counsel on both sides, said that the juror informed bim that he was a Dutchinan, and bad not untierstood a particle of the evidence that had alreacy occupied the Court two days. This intelligence seemed to astound the counsel, anc, after some desultory conversetion, the case was adjourn: ed over until Friday morning, in order that the Jalge might be satisfied of the genuineness of the objection which the juror had raised to himself. On Friday morning the juror, Mr, Mentz, or Pentz, or Rentz, or somethirg like either one or the other of those ames, was sworn and examined by the Judge as to his knowlege of the English languree. ‘The juror said he kept a store; was here in d's conntry for more dan twelve year, but did not know de American language; most all his customers was Dutch,and dey spoke de Dutch language always. ‘The Judge asked him ifhe badever been on a jury before in this city? The Dutch juror replied that he had; that he was on the st Ag the case of Williams against Wm. E. Burton, last week. ‘The Judge desired to know how he understood the tes- timony on that trial so as to be able to give a verdict. Juror—Ob! dere vas anoder Dutchman on jury, and he told me vot to do, and I did do vots he tolds me: It became perfectly apparent to the Court and coun- sel that Mr. Pentz, or Bentz, or Mentz would be more at home in attending to his Duteh customers than in deal- ing out justice in the Frglish language in an American Court. The proceedings were, therefore, suspended, and the cause was set down specially for the first day in the next term, Metropolitan Police Commissioners.
