Notwithstanding the rain last evoning, three or four hundred ladies and gentlemen assembled in the Union Chapel, corner of Thirty-ninth street and Broadway, to hear the Rev. Mr. Mattison, late a Professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy, deliver a lecture on the great comet now visible in the western sky. The proceeds of the lecture were to be devoted to the benefit of the Bab- ‘bath school. Rey. Mr. Marrisoy, on taking the stand, said we had been recently honored by a strange celestial luminous body in the western sky—one we never looked upon be- fore and shall never look upon again. This strange body had not received near so much attention as it deserved: ‘The notices of it that had appeared in the newspapers had ‘been necessarily meagre, and, as it seemed to him, very like caricatures. Heavenly bodies were divided into the solar and the siderial systems. The sj er then wert on to explain some of the primary principles of astronomy: Comets belonged to the solar system. he could not aay that they did not belong to other systems, but they did helong to the solar system in great numbers. They were noted for their lightness of rairty, the immense ellipses of their orbits, and for moving around the eun in adi rection opposite to that of tho planets, as well as in the same direction. He had examined, during tho day, the elements of forty.uwine comets, twenty.four of which moved rovnd the sun in an opposite direction to the planets, There were millions of these comets constant; circling round the sun, though they were rarely vinible to the faked eye. Comets did not manifest the same appearance every time they returned: they varied so much that it was exceedingly difficult to distinguish them on their return. They frequently split into, some times divided, into several pieces, and under eptirely different ye comet now visible in the ‘Wertern sky was called the Donati comet, from having been first discovered by Donati, in Italy, on the 3d of Jone last. Tt was the practice among astronomers to name heavenly bodies after the perron who discovered them. This comet was Gret seen in America on the 29th of June las, by a gentioman in New Jersey.

MEETING OF THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION, NOMINATION OF SHERIFF, COUNTY CLERK, AND SUPERVISOR —TUMULTUOUS SCENES—THE IRISH ELEMENT PREDOMINANT. The Tammany County Convention met last night at Tammany Hall to nominate candidates for the county offices to be filled at the coming November election. An unusual interest was felt in the proceedings of this Con- vention, and a noisy crowd assembled in the lobbies to await the result and cheer the successful competitors, There was some fighting and a vast deal of swearing and drinking. Several of the condidates had rooms hired in the building, where collatiens were spread for the benefit of their friends in the Convention. As the names of the different nominees of the Convention were apnounced there was much cheering, but towards the close great dissatisfaction was manifested at the large number of Irish names on the ticket, It was charged that the American candidates did not have a chance at all. After the delegates were convened— One of the delegates took a stand upon the platform and proposed Captain Rynders for chairman, This was the signal for a scene. “I second the motion,’ cried several voices. ‘I propose William D, Kennedy for per manent chairman,” shouted others the same instant. “The qnestion,”” ‘the question,”” now rang from all sides of the room, and there was a rush made by every one to and around the platform, each roaring out ‘the ques- tion,’’ or the name of his favorite for chairman. Every- thing was in confusion, in the midst of which both candi- dates took etre to figure conspicuously. It was expected at this time that a row would occur; but the diffleulty was tially settled by Captain Rynders’ mounsing the stand, and \inceremoniously assuming the duties of chairman, The chairman announced that there could be no busi- ness done till every one who was not a delegate bad va- cated the room; but the announcement, though frequently, repeated, produced no visible ettect.’ Several plans tor clearing the room of outsiders were then proposed, and after various scenes of uproar the desired object was at length effected. Alderman Adams moved that the question of the First ward, to decide who were the true delegates, be taken up, there being two sets of delezates opposed to cach other from that ward. The delegates on both sides from the First ward were, on motion, requested to leave the room tili the Convention should decide the question. They did #0, and the certificate of election mado out by the inspec- tors of election was read, and it was finally ‘decided that the ticket headed Thomas Byrnes should be admitted, ‘The roll was then called and all the members were found to be present. It was moved that the Convention should now proceed to nomizate a candidate for County Sheriff by ballot. There were three candidatos—Josiah W. Brown, John Wilton and John Kelly. Tue voting commenced, but as the result showed that there were only five votes for John Wilson and five for Brown, and ten for John Kelly, A mo- tion was made to declare the nomination of the successful candidate unanimous. After some counter motions had heen offered, the Convention finally decided to declare the nomination uanimous, and considerable noise and confu- sion followed, A motion for a recess of half an hour was now made and lost. itwas then moved and carried that the Convention should proceed tothe nomination of a County Clerk and the election of tellers. Faward Fitzpatrick, John Hotelling, Daniel Lynn and Henry Matthews were elected tellers, The Convention now proceeded to ballot for County Clerk.

It was now moved to declare him unanimously nomi- nated by the Convention, and the motion prevailed. Some tumultuous cheers succeeded, and Norman McLeod, Robert Gamble unanimously nominated. second and third votes it appeared that F. Schirmer and A. R. Jackman were the successful candidates; and no sooner was it an- nomnced by the chairman than a motion was made to have their nomination also declared unanimous, and it was carried On motion, Win. C. Conner was upani. mously nominated for Supervisor. A committee was appointed to inform the candidates of their pomination , the Conventron adjourned. THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. LEVTER FROM MR, RS TO GEN. WALBRIDGE. New Youn, Sept. 27, 1858. Referring to our interviews on Tu last, and to the arrangement made at the nomination for Congress in the Third district should be in writing, I have the pleasure to address you this note and Mr. of our confe: rence and agreement on October 27, 1856, was a ‘priv memorandum.” Your present claim reatanpon it. Te Make it known was to render its fulfilment, #6 far as this involved your nomination in another district through my instrumentality, impracticable. Desiring, in good faitli, to performs my part of the compact, and appreciating the importance of thie complete reserve, I have never shown Mr. Brega’s memorandum, or mentioned its purport, even © My Most intimate friends, But you have disclosed its contents and object to many persons, and thereb; have placed insuperable practical obstacles in the wa; obtaining for you a nomination in another district. These obstacles are #0 apparent to all persons familiar with party mov nts that | need not enumerate them to you. The breach of confidence (I speak of it only as an act of indiscretion) committed by you, in giving general pub. lieity to Mr. Brega’s “private memorandum” of our con- ference, would, of iteolf, deprive you of any claim upon me. based upon a stipulation you had yon Violated But even if this were otherwise, on Tn ¥ night last and in advance of an interview sought by yourself on that very day, which was to take place on the following Fri day, the 24th instant, for the avowed purpose of arrang- ing all difficulties, you accepted an irregular stump nom! nation as a candidate for Congress ip this district, from a iscvous assemblage of people at the Astor House forestalling the action of the regular Nominating Con vention of the party, thus menacing the established or ganization with a sort of dictation to which it never yields, you bave made yourself ineligible, according to the usages of the democratic party, as its candidate in this district for the present Congress, eo that even if I could surren. der the field to you it would be unavailing. And furthermore, by proclaiming yourself a nominee for Congress in thie district tive weeks before the election you have made it imporsible for yourself to get a nomi ation in any other district during thie canvase. Hence it woe in vain for you to demand, or for me to seck. one }. You have thne involved your ag candidate in dificaitics which seem inextricable. You cannot onject to my nomination in this distriet, since it is clear you can Hot receive it yourself. Yon cannot look to me for a no: mination elsewhere, for you have precinded yourself from accepting it if tendered, And, of course, you cannot in- sist upon the performance of a stipulation whieh you hare. yourself made impossible. ‘The reevit is, that you have removed every impedi. ment whieh hae been supposed to exist to my acceptance of the reguiar nomination as the democratic candidate for Congress in the Third district, if it shall be tendered to me by the Convention.

After the reading of letters of excuse from Dr. Pfuster and citizen Angust Willich, the President introduced Vic- pad nt who addressed the meetfhg in the ‘ollowing Whenever something great and durable has been achieved it wns always the mass of the people who Worked it out: but whatever has been conceived or done Vy the upper clasees of society seldom or never extended its influence to the lower orders of the people. The peo- plealone by their honesty are able to oppose an efficacious check to the corruption of the potiticians and their parti sans. These latter do not shrink before the most noble means for the purpose of seeuring tthemselves: the spoils which they know how Ww procure from the pockets of the deluded people. refore, let us unite all our forces to oppose this encroaching corruption of the political parties, who have lost all sense of righteousness and honesty, Let us form anew party, composed of thejindependent and honest men among our German brothers—a it reedom, enemy to all kinds of impostors—may they call themselves politi- clans or priests. (Cheers and applause.) The next speaker introduced was Gustay Struve, who, after an enthusiastic and eloquent allocution, read the fol lowing resolutions: — 1, The meeting declare all and every party—democrats, nativists and republicans—as corrupt. 2. ‘The latter lost all right to support on the part of the friends of freedom on account of their open efforts to im- pair the political rights of the immigrated citizens. 8, We do not see any other means of averting political ruin from the naturalized citizens, and of maintaining the principles of the Declaration of Independence of 1776 save by forming a new party of freedom and equality rights which keep aloof trom the corruption of the exist- ing parties, erefore, we insist on the following demands:— 1, We demand full equality of rights for the working Ne; he who makes his capital work for himself is no. ger to hold the reins of government. We aro to break the chains by which monopoly enslaved labor. We are the enemies of all kinds of servitude, and above all things of slavery, the worst of all monopolies. 2. We demand that the rights granted to the immigrated portion of the inhabitants of the Union be unimpaired, and that the legal term of naturalization be shortened in stead of being prolonged. 8. We demand a law in favor of the emigrants during r stay on board of ships, and their protection against arbitrary treatment on the part of shipowners and captains, 4. We demand a school organization really in harmony ‘with the wants of the people, the creation of polytechnical and agricuttural inetitutions and of establiehments of credit we'll organized and accessible to the poorer classes 5 We demand that the wants of the laboring classes in the citics and in the country be taken care of; thatthe Congress land be no longer delivered up into the hands of land speculators and usurers, but accorded, without any expense, to real colonists; that in the cities dwelling houses for the working people be erected and leased out at the mere rate of the interest for the capital laid out. 6. We demand that the religious liberty which is se. cured to the people become a truth; that the church no longer enforce any arbitrary law as to the Sabbath cele. bration, or exercise any legitimate influence over the te. 7. We demand a thorough reform of the administration of justice, the dismissal and pnnishment of faithless func- tionaries, of corruptible judges and greedy members of Legislative Assemblies, 8. We demand that the tribunals be accessible to the poorest and most inexperienced of the people. 9. We demand that every member of a Legislative As. sembly, when retiring from it, be held to give an account to his constituents. 10. We demand from the exterior policy of the United States that every citizen, both native and naturalized, be protected abroad from’ arbitrary treatment, and that foreign uations have the certainty of fluding in their strug. gle against despotism a sure support and aid in the United States 11. Lastly, we demand that the rights stolen from the people by office holders, priests and imposters of any kind, be restored to them, and that the sovereignty of the people become a truth. These demands were received by the assembly with repeated and lond acclamations, After an interval of a boogie of an hour, during which the band was playing, turn of speakers came again, among whom Dr. Forsch, in a very spirited and much speech, gave a brief outline of the history of political 8 during the last ten years, and concluded with advising the Germans noflonger to be used as the voting chattel of corrupt political parties. After Dr. Forsch, Mr. Caso ad dresged the assembly in English, and the meeting then journed. REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE. ‘This committce met at 618 Broadway last night, Mr. John A.

Madame Loln, according to the announcement in the morning papers, detivered her lecture on Rome last even- ing, at Hope chapel, in aid of the Rev. Ralph Hoyt's church, Although the weather was most unfavorable, there was a large audience, a yery considerable portion of t was expected that the fair which consisted of ladies. Jecturer would have something to say in regard to the con- duct of the Provisional Episcopal Bishop of this diocess and some of his clergy, who has called the Rey. Ralph Hoyt to account for accepting any assistance from Madame Lola Montez, for any euch purpose. The Charch of the Good Shepherd, of which Rey. Ralph Hoyt was the rector, was blown down during a gale of wind last March, and he h it appears, been ever since soliciting nid for its reconstruc tion. Madame Lola Montez hearing of the circumstances, addressed him a letter offering to deliver a lecture, the Proceeds of which should should be given for the erection of the edifice. The offer was accepted, and last evening the lecture was delivered before quite a large audience. ‘The lecturer selected Rome and the Catholic religion as the subject of her discourse; and having disposed of them, she proceeded to speak of the Provisional Bishop and the clergy, whom Mr, Hoyt had offended by accepting her assistance. ‘The advertisements, said she, have informed you that the proceeds of this lecture are to be given to the Rev. Ralph Hoyt to build his free church for the poor. The papers have also apprised you that some of the clergy have cast reflections upon the worthy rector for his wil lingness to receive the sum which your patronage of this lecture yields. (Applause.) ‘This’ is. certainly a piece of bigotry, intolerance and cruelty to the poor, aud of med diesome jmpertinence, which I have never before wit nessed, even in the most illiberal Catholic countries in the world,’ (Great applause.) Who are these men that would bar you and me from doing # good action, and who would rather lock the doors of comfort and instruction to the poor and forsaken rather than that they should be as sisted by a hand which will not be moved by their dictation? (Renewed applause.) How many churches, Estould like to know, would be’ builty—how many poor comforted, fed and'clothed by money which tiey would give? (Laughter and applanse.) ‘A Voice—Not one dollar, _ (Renewed laughter.)

They are certainly very impudent ant bold devils. whea they enter into the breasts of professing Christians in such afreeand enlightened land as America. (Applause. ) Such bigoted intolerance would be bad enough in buctoo or the Feejeo Islands, but in America it is like foul black spot on the bright sun. (Mé am going to Europe in the course of a fe: for some time, and when Tcome back—wh will do—may be I will give a course to raise a fund to send missionaries to Christianize the clerical Pha risees. (Applause and laughter.) These Phariseos, ladies and gentlemen, would rather that the poor and destitute should not have the Gospel preached and kind words sald to them than the means should he furnished by the pa tronage of your very bumble servant. (Applause) I beg of you all the prayers of this congrej of all such benighted and miserable sinne laughter.)

VESSEL CUT IN TWO—ONE MAN SUPPOSED T0 BE Lost. The steamer Empire State, which left Fall River Tucsday evening for this port, when near Newport, came in coili- sion with the sloop Exchange, of Dartmouth, cutting her in two. The sloop had on board four persons, of whom one was knocked overboard by the shock, and is sup: posed to have been drowned. It is barely possible, how- ever, that he may have reached the shore in safety, as he is represented to have been a good swimmer. The re- maining persons were taken off the wreck by the boats of the steamer, which remained near the wreck for an hour. Every attention was to the rescued seamen by the officers of the Empire State. The person supposed be Jost is John H. Ford, a trader, of Bristol, R. 1.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE COLLISION. ‘The steamer Empire State was in collision Tuesday night with a small sloop of some twenty tons burden, belong. ing to Dartmouth. There were four men on board of the sloop, of whom three were picked up by the boats of the steamer, and landed at Newport. It is that the other man may have swam ashore, as the accident hap- pened in the river, about ball way between Fall River and Newport. No damage was sustained by the Empire State, excepting the loss of her flagstatf. City Intelligence. Sas of Cry Prorexty.—The pictures and statuary of the Governor's room, in the City Haé, were sold yes- terday to satiefy the claim of R. W. Lowber against the city, It seems that during the day Lowber called on the City Chamberlain to pay his claim of $196,000 before he proceeded to extremities. The Chamberlain expressed bis willingness to do so provided the Comptroiler would give bis warrant for the amount. Mr. Flagg, however, was inexorable and would not sign the warrant. Accordingly ‘proceeded to the City Hall to disporo of the ‘the claimant city . There wasa large crowd in attendance, but no bidders, eave Mr. Lowber and Mr, Richard first read, which included portraits of Presidents, Gover nore, , Mayors, the writing desk of Washington chairs, carpets, statne of Jefferson, &e. The lot was sold together, and the first bid was byLowber, who offered $10,000." Mr. Seott bid $15,000, and the bidding was kept up between the two until $60,000 was offered by Mr Seoit, at which price they were fivally knocked down. The money was paid down at once to Lowber, who pock eted it and walked off with his counsel, Judge Barber. It is understood that the bidding-in was done at the ins of Mayor Tiemann, who did not wish the property moved, for fear it would be injured ‘The of Riven avy Biowst Avram my a New Fort — During Mre.

They were delivered in advance of the regular mail from St. Louis, by the express agent of Wells, Fargo & Co, THE OVERLAND MAIL IN ST. LOUIS. {From the St. Louis Republican, Oct. 10.) A& a matter of course, the reception of the news by tele- graph from Jefferson City, that the overland mail, with Mr. Butterfield, who had been chiefly instrumental ip put- ting it into successful operation, would arrive in the city by the Pacific Railroad, created very considerable feeling, Ut was at once determined that a fting reception should, be given to Mr, Butterfleld, and before cight o'clock large number of our most respectable citizens bad assem bled for that purpose. The procession was formed in front of the Planters? House last evening, at eight o'clock, headed by the St. Louis Silver Band, in Arnot's band wagon, drawn by six horses, and proceeded to the depot of the Pacifi> Railroad, On the arrival of the train at a little before nine o'clock, Mr. Butterfield was received, on behalf of the reception committee and a large concourse of citizens present, by Jobn F. Darby, Esq., who said: — A Sir—On behalf of the committee and the citizens of St. Louis, I extend to you a hearty congratulation on the achievement of an undertaking worthy the genins and persevera of an Amevican. (Applaute.) You demonstrated to the nation the — practica- bility of bringing communication from San Fran. cised to the centro of the valley of tho Mis- sissippi in the wonderfully short space of twenty- four days, and for the avec izhiment of which you degerye the thanks and gratitude of the whole Ameri- can people.

You, sir, have accomplished that object by your indefatigable ns, and secured a result so desirable, and fraught with s0 many blessings, that you are entitled to the warmest gratitude of the American peo+ ple. You, sir, have inaugurated a system which, though: yet in the incipient stages of jus C syrge Wot paramount importance in the results which it will secure in ao. cial, political, and mercantile points of view, at the same time iMustrative of the trangeoudenes of American skill enterprise and untiring perseverance, In conclusion, leg me again return to you our most hearty thanks and congratulations on your noble achievement, In reply. Mr. Butterfield expressed the emotions whien ted his heart at this demonstration of the good will aud probation of his fellow citizens, and said they Were not the lers pleasurable by being unexpected, He regarded itasthe happiest moment of his fife, in view of the fact that he had accomplished an abject which had go long been desired by the citizens of St. Louis, and had ro- ceived their hearty approval for his labor. Great difficulties had lain in the way, but what obsta- cles, he continued, cannot be surmounted by Americaa enterprise? (Applause.)
