Prominent in the crowd were many of the mort noted pugilists of the city; but a guard of twelve policemen from the City Hall, under command of Sergeant McKelvey, had in charge the preservation of the public peace, while a force of one hundred men was stationed at the City Hall in readiness for any emergency. General Superintendent Pillsbury and Deputy Carpenter were also on hand to take such measures as the occasion might re- quire. The delegates were admitted by tickets, one by ono, through files of policemen, entering the Hall through the parlor of the hotel, inatead of the usual stairway. ‘The Convention was called to order at half-pastseven o’clock, and Hon. John Kelly, Sheriff of the county, was elected chairman. The following gentlemen were chosen Secretaries Charles K. Smith, Charles Wheeler and Wm. Caldwell. ‘The list of delegates was then called, when it appeared that the seats of the delegates from the Nineteenth ward were contested. Alderman McSpedon, who headed tho rival delegation, and ex-Alderman Herrick of the sitting delegates, were each heard in support of the claime of their delegation, and then both sets of delegates were requested to retire into the lobby while the Coaventiop deliberated on their case. Here there was a great deal of excitement and hard talking. Alderman McSpedon accused cx- Alderman Herrick of having ‘gone back on him” (MicSpedon) on sundry occasions, and especially with haying offered to coalesce with the republicans in the Board of Aldermen to prevent his being elected President of that Board. In the Convention, after the the subject of the contested seats bad been discussed, on motion of Judge Brennan it ‘was voted that two men be selected from each delegation, and that these four select the fifth man to represent the ward. Judge Michael Connolly, as chairman of a com- mittee appointed for that purpose, waited on the delega- tions in the lobby, and tendered the Conyention’s olive branch, but neither side would accept it. Hither they were elected or they were not, and if they were going to be turned out of Tammany Hall they wanted to have it done squarely, Said Mr. Downing, one of the McSpedon party—“We have a majority of the committee, and a majority of the inspectors, and if they want to back’ us down in Tammany Hall let them try it on.”’ After another discussion in the Oonvention, the delegates wore waited upon by a second com- mittee, consisting of District Attorney Nelson J. Water- bury, Alexander Ward and Luck, and each man required to pledge himself to abide by the decision of the Convention, and support its nominees, whoever they might be. All'gave their pledge freely except Mr. Bryan MoCahiil, who took the occasion to make a stump apeech. He was a straightforward democrat, but would make no pledge. The committee could not in conscience exclude them; and there were, he knew, Mozart Hall men in the Herrick delegation—men who held office and would give their influence to Fernando Wood. The other mom- bers of the delegation tried to induce Mr. MeQahill to agree to abide by the decision, bus he was not to be mol- Kitied, declaring that the whole set up stairs could be bought up for five hundred dollars. ‘The committee returned to the Convention and reported the result, and after some further discussion a vote was taken and the Herrick delegation admitted, having 56 yotes to 46 for their opponents. This was regarded as a triumph of the Wood faction. McSpedon de! ‘were understood to be pledged against him. It was even asserted that the ex-Mayor sat quietly in the editorial rooms of the News office, pulling the wires of the Conven- tion and feeling confident that he would eventually have everything bis own way. The _ rejected delegation~ did not take the matter at all kindly, denouncing their opponents in bitter terms. Mr. McCabill was particularly vehement. He tried hard to get up cheers for Wood, and declared that he would go for any ticketseven the black republican, if neces- —in order to defeat the Tammany nominees. Mr. McKpedon said be could not conceive what ground Herrick’s party bad to claim their seats. Two out of the three aon had awarded them certifi- cates, and the idavit of the other inepotior con- tained nothing more than he was ready to admit freely. Said he, “You know how these primaries are always conducted; one man will put in only one ballot, and another will perhaps throw in a whole handful, and where thero are 80 many the inspectors don’t to count them.’”? That, he added, was about all the affidavit alleged; and as they had a majority of the inspectors, according to the democratic doctrine that the majority must rule, they ought to have been received. The effect of their rejection he licted would be disasttous in the ward, the vention nominated # first class man ise would not get 200 votes in the ward. ‘The names of the rejected delegates are Thomas Mc- Spedon, Bryan McCabill, John Eagan, Richard C. Down- ing and Thomas Pierson. After set the matter of the contested seats the Con- ‘vention proceeded to business, and a resolution was paas- ed that in voting for @ candidate for Mayor the vote should be viva voce, 80 af to avoid all dodging. Speeches were made by Hon. John Cochrane, Marsha Rynders, Tom Burns, Judge Waterbury and several others and the merits of various cand! ‘were discussed. OC Godfrey Gunther, R. J. Dillon, D. T. Valentine, A. V Stout, James Murphy and Hon. John A. Dix were among the names mentioned. Fer ration Counsel John E. Devlin, Recorder Barnard and James T. Brady were pro- minent, but it was said Mr. Brady would not accept. It became nt about ten o'clock that no nomination Mayor could be effected dur- ing. the night, and a committee, consisting of one from each ward, having been appointed to hold a caucus to-day and decide upon the most available candi- date, the Convention adjourned at a late hour, to meet ‘again at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon. ‘The Cau- cussing Committee consisted of the following gentlemen, to be presided over by Mr. Kelly, Ohairman of the Convention:— Wards. for Wards. 12—Bartlott Smith. 13—Chas.

Esdale vs. the Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana Railroad Company.—The plainuff brings this suit for $882 for services, with imerest from the 20th of May, 1868. It appeared from the teetimony that the plaintif’ entered into an sgreement with the defendants as clerk for a termof one year, at the office of the com- pany in this city, and for his services he was to receive the bum of fifteen hundred dollars per annum, in month- ly paymonts. The complaint alleges that fhe plaintitf en- tored upon his duties and duly transacted the same until the 6th of October, 1867, whon the defends would no longer permit him to perform his duties as suéa clork, and that the defendants have refused to pay him tho re: sidue of the sim of $1,600, which amounts to $800 20.

Work was commenced a week or two since at the foot of the street, by taking ap the ancient cobble stones and laying down the Belgian square blocks of granite. The workmen have progressed rapidly, and hove completed it within a short di of the Mer- chants’ Exchange. We understand that the contract was taken at $2 50 per square yard, one half to be borne by Property owners on the street und the other by the city authorities. A year or two since some parties were per- mitted to make the oxperiment at their own expense, of ving @ section of this- street, in front of the Custom louse, with slabs of burr millstove rock from a quarry in the interior, but which, under the constant attrition of omnibus, dray and other wheels, has failed to give satis- faction, and will be superseded, we presume, by the Bel- gian pavement.

The viows of the com- mittee are fully expressed in the report, as follows:—They Propose commencing with one park, ‘to be located on the high ground beyond Greenwood Comotery, on Seventh ayenuo, near the southern extremity of the city; another, of one hundred acres, on Prospect Hill, including the re- servoir; a third on the high ground, recommended in the report submitted by the committee, of the southeastern district, of one hundred acres; a Hill, ineluding the reservoir; somewhere in the Fastern district, between Ridgewood tegervoir and the ferry at Greenpoint, as may be most desirable to those who reside within that district—the whole cto be feo ‘by # continuous macada- rnive Tort “in view. of the Atectic Uocan, and tormicating al Wo drives in the Pworld, "running along ‘tne attractive drives worl ng high ridge of land from Fort Hamilton to Ridgewood Hull, from one portion of which may be seen the with the Highlands of another og of table land stretching from Gravesend, including the towns of Flatbush, New Lots, and the village of Jamaica itself, and extending as far as the shores of Rockaway; while from another portion may be seen the bay of New York, spreading itself far and wide beyond the city of Brooklyn: at the same time be seen the noble Hud- son, dividing Jersey City from New York—thus affording ‘one 6f the most extensive panoramic views that can be conceived, along’the whole line of a drive at least from ten to fifteen miles, Stee ceniaies waa most respectfully suggest m cailea the Ridgewood ave- nue, It rf ‘by means of such a road the committee pro- pose to connect the different parks, as here laid down, as well as the cemeteries which are sitvated upon said ave- nue, and thus communicate directly with every macada- mized road already established, or which may hereafter be constructed. * * * * The direction of the drive proposed would be as follows:—Commencing at the ter- minus of Steincut avenue, leadi to Fort Hamilton; thence running along the Seventh avenue to Green- wood; thence th or around Greenwood to the Ninth avenue; thence along the Ninth avenue to Prospect Hill Park; through or around said Park to one of the streets, either Union, Carroll or President street; thence runnit through the grounds proposed as a Park by the report o! J. Carson Brevoort; thence to be continued to a road lead- ing to the pro} parade ground, at East New York, directly in view of the Evergreens Ccmetery and the Ridgewood Park, as proposed in the report ofthe sub-Com- mittee of the Eastern district; thence through or around Evergreens Cometery and the Ridgewood Park or Reser- ‘oir grounds, and here connect with the Cypress Hill mat mized voad, leading from thence to the Eastern district.”” ‘The committee state, in conclusion, that a more conve- nient opportunity than the present may, perhaps, never occur to suggest and advise @ plan for improvement, which would cost the city lees and increase the value of roperty more than the pI 0 . Pro definite ection, was taken Tee the report, the viows expressed by the members of the Commission, it is probable that the plan proposed will be at the next meeting on Saturday evening, when it will be Prosented to the ‘Common Council for confirmation. ‘Tur Lone Ist.anp Ferry.—Since the increase in the rato of fare for foot passengers over this ferry the receipts have materially increased, notwithstanding there is a do- crease inthe number of passengers.

PRICE “IMPURTANT FROM MEXICO. Marques Seized a Conducta of $2,900,000 im Specie @ then Pronounced for Santa Anms—Miramon Started to At- tack Marquez—The Liberal Party in Good rite, de, The steamehip Tonnessoe, Capt. Forbes, arrived at New Orleans from Vora Cruz, on the morning of the 11th instant, bringing as passengers, J. M. Perez and 27 in the steerage. She also brought $35,966 in specie. We have files 0’ Mexican papers to the 8th ingtant, from which the annexed information is compiled: — ‘The coast of Vera Cruz has boen visited by a severe norther, which, beginning on the 22d ult., lasted full ten days. This ie doubtless the storm in which « portion of our own shipping was canght and suffered so severely. ‘The English steamer from Havana did not get into Vera Crug till tho Ist inst., and the Spanish mail steamer did not get off till the same day, she not being able to land her cargo before, on account of the violence of the storm. ‘The political news is important. The grand expedition, some time since fitted out from Onjaca on the other side, and Vera Cruz on this, against Tehuacan, Orizaba, Oor- dova, and other strongholds of the Miramon party in the mountains, has proved a most disastrous failure. Soyeral bundred prigoners were captured, and a large quantity of arms and ammunition fell into the hands of Sor On the other side another conducta of $2,800,000, ac- cording to ove account, had been seized by Marquez. “Tho story is that he was entrusted with the regular conducta from the capital, which he was charged to seo safe on one of her Britannic Majesty’s ships on the Pacific; that he took it on to Guad ra, openly laid it under contribution to the amount cf $600,000, and fears were entertained for the rest. We learn from the Progreso, also, that two con- duetas, containing in all bout $3,000,000, had left San ‘Luis for the ports of the north. A new periodical, called the Wiliam Teil, bas been pub- lished in Vera Cruz, under the oditorial management of Don Joaquin Villalobos. The Reforma Social speaks of the new paper in terms of praise. Various acts of sacrilege bad ocourred in Vera Cruz. One of the priests of Zacatecas—Don Francisco de P. Ni grete—had abandoned his, 8 pariah carrying with him al the gold and jewels he could lay hands on. Active efforts were Delong made by the government for the castigation of the robbers. It is eaid that other priests had foliowed his laudable example. ‘The Prisma, of Tampico, states that Don Juan Zaazua ‘was a prisoner in Tampico. The forma Socal of the 26th of October, contains an account a camemuendent of the injustice shown to British subjects, and tbe ill-treatment and imprison- ment of Mr. Chess, of Tepic, an American aubject. Col.

Yesterday the alleged dog poisoning case, in which Charles Jowell is charged with having poisoned a valu- able dog, the property of Mrs. B. Maverick, came up for trial. Upon the accused being arraigned at tho bar, Mrs. B.

Judge Welsh re- marked that the deliberate throwing about of ned provisions was very dangerous; thereupon the Court de- cided to defer their decision until Saturday, so that in the meantime the fragments of meat may be analyzed by a chemist.

Albertini, which took place last night, joined with the first appear- ance of the tenor, Signor Beaucardé, ina réle which ho sang originally in Italy, eufficed, notwithstanding the fact that the “Trovatore” is pretty well worn out with our opera goers, to draw a full house, which included all the critics and connoisseurs, the artists off duty and a strong representation of the fashionable world. ‘The débutante, Albertini, had a merited success, Ia her personal characteristics she reminds one somewhat of La Grange. She is not strikingly handsome, but has a vory agreeable stage presence, and, without being a great ac- tress, is still perfectly au fait to the business of the scene. Asasinger, Mme. Albertini hasa thoroughly good me- thod, and it is clear that she has been educated in the best, Italianschool. She sings with true dramatic earnestness, and is a really good artist, who will become very popular. ‘Tho quality of Mme. ‘Albertini’s voice could hardiy be judged from last night's performance, as she was suffer- ing from hoarseness; but in quantity it seemed quite equal to tho requirements of the music. Signor Beaa- cardé improved upon the very favorable impression ho has already made here, He sang bis air in the first act £0 well as to create quite a furore, and he was very good throughout the opera. The contralto and baritone parts were sung by Mme. Strakosch and Amodio, two accept- able artists, who acquitted thomscives as woll as ever. ‘The performance altogether seemed to be exceedingly fatisfactory to the audience, which applauded frequently and liberally, and accorded to all the artists the honors of 8 veritablo success, To-night the,‘Sicilian Vespers’? will be given—its last evening performance. Const ror Vawxzveis.—We learn that Don Simon Camacho has been recontly appointed Consul for the re- public of Venezuela at this port, and that the President hag issued the corresponding excquatur to him. Tho appointment of Sonor Camacho is an oxcellent one in every reepect. His long residence in this country, and his practical acquaintance with our commerce with Vene- ucla, will enable him to fill the duties of the Consulate with advantage to all parties engaged in the trade. To ‘these personal qualifications we may add another, which fs, that he is connected by marriage with ono of our best New York familics, and has himself several young Ame- Ticans growing up to look after the affairs of the Consul- fate, a circumstance which may some day conduce to the increase of good relations between the two countries. In the absence of a Venezuclan Minister in Washington, the duties of Senor Camacho must often be of an onerous and responsible character, and on these occasions his personal relations hore will doubtless be of advantage to thoee of our citizens whose interests may be involyed. ee United States Commissioner's Court.
