The largest, most enthusiastic and most imposing emonstration in the Presidential canvass that has hus far taken place in this city was that which ‘was made last night in and around the Cooper In. 6titute, by that portion of the national democracy that favors the election of Breckinridge and Lane. ‘The spacious hall was crowded to its utmost capa- city, and still thousands could not obtain admission; and these outsiders organized an independent meeting in the get. The indoor assemblage was presided Over by Mr. Jno. H. Brower, ehipping merchant, and was addressed by him, by the Hon. Daniel 8. Dickinson, ‘Capt. Marriott and Mr. A. R. Wood. The outside meeting was presided over by Mr. C. E. Stewart, and was addressed by Mr. Paul B. Bradley, Levi Chatfield, John Van Blom, Isaac Lawrence and Mr. Lowry. There was a pretty considerable sec- tion of Douglas men in the ball, and ever and anon they broke out with loud and enthusiastic demonstrations on behalf of their favorite. The Breckinridge and Lane men were, however, ina vast majority, and they outcheered and outhissed the opposite faction. Nevertheless, there was no violation of good order and decorum; and, in fact, the meeting was, for a democratic one, excellently conducted. Letters were received from President Buchanan, ex-Governor Stevens, of Washington Territory; Mr. Charles O’Conor, and other distin- guished democrats. Among thé@ecsolutions adopted ‘was one for the appointment of a committee to call State Convention for the purpose of nominating State officers. A full report of the proceedings of the meeting is given in to-day's paper. We also publish to-day the address of the Doug- Jas National Executive Committee to the democra- cy of the country. The proceedings of the meet- ang at the Cooper Institute last night may be re- @arded as a fuir exposition of the principles of the Breckinridge wing of the democracy, and the ad- Gress referred to is an authoritative declaration of the position and policy of the Douglas wing of the party; and thus the rival sections stand face to face. At the meeting of the Board of Aldermen yester- Gay afternoon the subject of the removal of Mr. Alfred W. Craven, Chief Engineer, and Mr. Thomas B, Tappen, Commissioner, of the Croton Water Board, was taken up. A long communication was received from the Mayor containing charges and specifications against Messrs. Craven and Tappen, end giving additional reasons for their removal from office. A number of remonstrances from citizens against the removal of Mr. Craven were also received. The communication from the Mayor was referred to a select committee of three, consisting of Messrs. Genet, Boole and Starr, and the remonstrances were laid on the table. The Comptroller sent in a draft of an ordi- ance providing means for increasing the supply of Croton water. The Board adjourned till Monday next. The Coroner's investigation into the cireum- stances connected with the assassination of Messrs. ‘Walton and Mathews was concluded yesterday, and the jury rendered # verdict that John Walton came tc his death by a pistol shot wound inflicted by the hand of Charles Jefferds, the stepson of de- ceased, The accused, after the usual pretimina- ries, was committed to the Tombs to await the action ef the Grand Jury. More than ten thousand persons visited the Great Eastern yesterday, among whom were a number of the Chicago Zouaves; but the latter gave no exhibi- tion of their military evolutions. The exhibition of the Great Eastern will close on the 28th instant, and on Monday, the 30th, she will make an excur. sion trip to Cape May, returning on the Wednesday Gollowing. The fare for the excursion is fixed at ten dollars. The sbip will leave for England on the A6th of August. We publish in another colamn a despatch from John Morrissey, the pugilist, endorsing his letter in yesterday's Henatn as genuine and the challenge aa bogus. Heenan left for Troy last night, and Morrissey is at Saratoga, in bad health. The pugi- listic excitemeut, therefore, is now upon the do- cline. The Board of Education last evening adopted the report of the Finance Committee on the dismissal of the Fourth ward teachers, after a long debate. The Board of Commissioners of Police, at their meeting yesterday afternoon, dismissed from the force Lawrence Delancey, of the Eleventh precinct. Four hundred dollars was paid into the Widows’ ‘and Orphans’ Fund, which was received by the Commissioners during the past week. An order thas been issued by the General Superintendent requesting the daily returna from the several pre- cincts to be handed in st eleven o'clock instead of nine A. M. This will be, no doubt, of great disad- vantage to the members of the press, At the meeting of the Commissioners of Emi gra- tion yesterday, Louis D. Pilsbury's resignation as Superintendent of Ward's Island was received and accepted, and a resolution passed appointing Jas. ©. Fagan in his place, at a salary of $2,000 a year, ‘Instead of $1,900, which was the amount paid to the late incumbent. No other business of impor- éance came up. The number of emigrants arrived during last week was 2,901, which brings tho total for the present year so far up to 66,092. The ba- fance in favor of the Board is at present $14,214 14. * A meeting of the Tammany Society, or Colun- Dian Order, took place last evening in the Old ‘Wigwam, when Mr. James Conner was installed ga Grand Sachem. After transacting some routine Husines, the meeting adjourned until the first Mon- Gag in vext month. A convertion of railroad managers is now sitting @* the Bt. Nichcias Hotel.

The Parana left on Tuesday afternoen, and the Golden Fleece sails this after- noon, with about 2,000 tona of miscellaneous car- xe, or one of the largest that ever left New York ip & steamer, According t© the City Inspector's report, there wore 442 deaths in the city during the past week, an iucrease of 11 a compared with the mortality ot the week previous, and 155 less than occurred duriug the corresponding week laat year. The re- ~apitlation table gives 1 death of disease of the bones, joints, &c., 106 of the brain and nerves, 5 of the generative organs, 13 of the heart and blood vessels, 92 «f the lungs, throat, &c., 4 of old age, 27 of diseases of the skin and eruptive fevers, 142 Of diseases of the stomach, bowcis and other di- gestive organs, 49o0f general fevers, 2 of diseases of the urinary organs, 1 unknown, and 23 from vio- lent causes. The nativity table gives 296 natives of the United States, 82 of Ireland, 36 of Germany, 6 of Rngiand, 2 of Scotland, and the balance of various foreign countries. Beef cattle yesterday advanced half a cent per pound, the bulk of the offerings being in the hands of speculators, and prices ranged from 7c. to 10c. Milch cows were quiet. Veale were steady and un- changed. Sheep and lambs were plenty and dull at about previous rates. Swine were also plenty, and sold at 6c.a6{c. per pound. The total re- ceipts were 3,358 beeves, 157 cows, 780 veals, 12,881 sheep and lambs, and 4,022 swine. The coiton market yesterday wore the same quict as pect which bas characterized it for some days, while the sales embraced about 600 bales, in lots, chiefly to spin ners, a! unchanged prices. The receipts at the ports since the 1-t of September last have reached about 4,442,000 bales, against 5,655,000 in 1959, 3,030,000 ‘m 18°8, and 2 $87,000 in 1857, The exports have reach- ©! 8 698,000 buies, against 2,882,000 in 1859, 2,512,000 tn 1568, ano 2.192 000 in 1857 The stock on hand embraces 205,000 bales, against 182,000 in 1859, 135,000 in 1858, ‘abd 128 000 in 1857. Flour was heavy for most deecrip. tions of State and Western, and closed at a decline in some grades of 6c. # 10c. per bbI. Southern flour was also easier, while a fair amount of sales was reported. In wheat good spring was firm aud in fair ehipping de- mand, while wiuter was dull; prime old and uew white were in tair request for milling. Corn was firmer and more active, at prices given elsewhere. Pork was in fair demand, and prices for new were firm er, while old was heavy. Sales of new mess were made at $19 50 « $19 50; old do., $18 60 a $18 62; thin mers, $18 60; ciear mens, $200 $2060, and new prime at $14 30 4 $14.60. Cassia was active, and sales of 60,000 mats were made on private terms. Sugars were in good request, with an upward tendency in prices. The sales embraced 2,000 bhds. and 1,200 @ 1,300 hhds. me- lado, Coffee was firmer, with ales of 3,000 bags Rio, 1,700 bags Maracaibo, 150 St, Domingo ano 850 do.

Last ht=The Revolution fim Parties, and Its Lesson. The Breckinridge and Lane ratification meet- ing held last night at the Cooper Institute was @ great success, When it is remembered that a few weeks ago Tammany was able to exhibit but a half filled hall, notwithstanding the fact that the sachems were there in grand costume, the old war horses of the democracy came in full tide, and all the applisnces and the once honored name of Tam- many were invoked to respond to the nomina- tion of Douglas and Johnson, the spectacle presented last night at the Cooper Institute will be looked upon as an evidence of the grea revolution that has taken place in the popular mind against the old corrupt organizations. The glory has passed away from Tammany, and the seat of power over the magses of this city is no longer in its Coal Hole. Corruption has worked out its legitimate result, and the venal leaders that have so long betrayed the trust confided to them have now been abandoned by the right hearted and right loving people. But the success at the Cooper Institute last night proves to the selfish polKicians who have 80 long betrayed the best interests of this com- mercial metropolis and of the Empire State that the people cannot be marshalled except in de- fence of the great constitutional principles of the land, and that without these parties can neither be founded nor held together.” The mer- cantile and industrial classes of New York have thus far refused to lend the sanction of their presence to the political gatherings of the pre- sent campaign, because on the side of the black republicans they saw only an aggressive assault on tome of the most vital principles of the Union, and, on the part of other political cliques tbat endeavored to gather them together, neither principle nor honesty of purpose. With the exception of Mr. Dickinson, none of the names presented to the meeting last night, or of the prime movers in it, were those of old leaders whom the people have been accustomed to follow. A new eet has come forward, and the enthusiastic cheers which hailed the hearty condemnation that was poured by the speakers upon the venal and corrupt Albany Regency and Tammany clique show plainly the new tide that has setin in the popular feeling. This new tide is turned in support of the principle of the equal rights of all the States, and the condemnation of all abstractions and aggressive assaults upon any of them. In this great fact we find the triumphant evidence that the great revolution which is going on all over the country has at heart the preservation of the Union and the complete destruction of all se- ceders, disunionists and revolutionary dema- gogues. The professioral politicians and spoilsmen have overleapy their saddles, and the people have revolted from them in disgust, and left them to a merited contempt. Let the lesson be an instructive one to the new men who are coming forward to lead the masses. Let them adhere to principles, and not men, or else the tide will leave them as suddenly as it has | turned i in their favor. A Ramroan Grivmon Smasnxp.—One of the five small railroad gridirons which were juggled through the Legislature last winter has become the subject of litigation in the courts, and will probably be regarded as a test question with reference to the whole of them, An injunction was sought for and obtained in the Supreme Court ov Tuesday, by the people of New York aod others, restraining the grantees of the Seventh Avenue or “ Broadway Parallel” Rail- road and the Corporation from taking any ac- tion towards its construction. The injunction order, granted by Judge In- graham, is made returnable on the 25th inst, ‘The legal warfare against these infamous rail- road bills is thus commenced, and may continue tintil the next session of the Legislature, when. if the people are wise enough to send respecta ble, conscientious members to Albany way be all wiped of We statute book iz a hat The Douglas National Manifeste—No Quarte:—No Compromise Whatever Ad- miseidle, We spread before our readers this morning, full length, the warlike manifesto of the Na tional Executive Committee at Washington, of the Douglas democratic faction, “to the demo- cracy of the United States,” satisfied that this extraordinary document will command the special attention of every politician of every political party or faction in the country. Beginning with the Wilmot proviso move- ment of 1846, the committee in the premises first give us something of “the history of the question of slavery in the Territories,” includ- ing, by all means, that terrible box of Pandora to the democracy, the Kansas-Nebraska bill. The committee next proceed to give what they desiguate the “excuses” of the anti-Douglas democracy “for altering the Cincinnati plat- form;” and then they follow with a very in- teresting summing up of the revolutionary pro- ceedings of the several recent conventions at Charleston, Richmond and Baltimore, from which they make it appear that while the se- ceders represented but a factious and mutinous tion representing more than two-thirds of all the electoral votes.” , Next the committee proceed to show up the eeceders, or Breckinridge Convention, in which, we ure informed, there were thirteen States without the representation of a single delegate, and that “so far as nationality is concerned, the black republican Convention at Chicago made a better exhibition.” The reader will thus be prepared for the final decree of this Douglas National Executive Committee touching the policy of that side of the house towards the Breckinridge wing of the party. The policy of the Douglas faction is war to the knife. The Committee emphatically de- clare that “no compromise whatever is admissi- ble;” that “we desire to ascertain the strength of the national democracy in every State, North and South, and intend to ascertain it;” that “we have made no proposition for a joint electoral ticket in any State, and we earnestly expect you (the Douglas rank and file) to reject such propositions indignantly whenever and wher- ever made;” and that, “if we have any friends in any State, let those friends call a State Con- vention at once, and nominate a full electoral ticket, pledged to the exclusive support of Douglas and Johnson.” Thus all the friendly offices of Mayor Wood in behalf of a treaty of peace in this State, and the movements of the Breckinridge leaders and organs in Pennsylvania and Virginia looking to the same object, are pronounced by this Na- tional Douglas Committee at Washington out of order. There is to be no truce, no compro- mise, no quarter, given to the Breckinridge faction in any State, for any purpose or under any circumstances. The fight of the Douglas faction is not with Lincoln, but with Breckia- ridge, for the ascendancy in the democratic party—s fight which, if kept up, will eurely put this party in the same grave with the old whig party. Upon the programme of this Douglas mani- feato it is easy to solve the riddle of thie Presi- dential election. The Breckinridge wing will take away from the democracy of the North the last hope of carrying a single Northern State. The Douglas democracy may turn over some of the border slave States to John Bell But Lincoln will be elected; and where, then, will stand these belligerent advisers of Mr. Douglas? The Southern democracy will re- pudiate them, and the Douglas faction will have to prolong the fight, with all the odds against them, or go over into the republican camp. Perbaps, however, upon this suicidal policy of no quarter, the belligerent Douglas leaders may be forced into the background before November. The tide is evidently turning against them, as they will discover probably be- fore many days are over. Tur Ecurrse Yesterpay.—The grand sensa- tion which the combined talents of the sun and moon prepared for us yesterday came of with great éclat and precision but without as much excitement as the visit of the Japanese or the arrival of the Great Eastern. ‘The eclipse was true to time, almost to a second, and true, also, to the diagram presented in the columns of the Heratp, As seen from this city, the spectacle was very beautiful and interesting. How it looked farther north, where the eclipse was greater, we sball happily be in formed by the scientific corps which the go- vernment despatched to Hudson's Bay territory and Labrador, to make observations. This enterprise on the part of the govern- ment at Washington is suggestive of the fact that the United States have always taken a deep interest in science and discovery, and, considering the age of the republic, it may be said to be in advance of any other natigg in this respect. No sooner was the government securely es- tablisbed in its independence than the epirit of exploration began to manifest itself, The far- seeing mind of Jefferson—which deduced from the existence of large rivers at this side of the Rocky mountains the supposition that rivers of large dimensions lay also on the cther side— led to the famous expedition of Lewis and Clark, and the discovery of the Columbia river—an expedition undertaken with a view t the ulti- mate availability and value of thit immense district of country lying between the backbone of this continent and the Pacific hore—now being so rapidly developed. Sincs then our explorators have been busy. Bott public and private enterprise bave furnished the means. and the genius of our race has fwnished the men, until we have penetrated ani explored the entire continent. In all branches of science we have kept pace with the Old World, which is some thing for s young country to boast of, with & great material destiny to work out. Our astronomers are not second to any in the world, and with the aid of our numerous ob- servatories, whether belonging to the govern-, ment or to our colleges—many of which prove; excellent ones—our acute observers of the. heavens have been enabled to discover almost all the new planets, comets and other heavenly phenomena, in many cases only a day or two later than they have been observed by the most eminent scientific men in Europe.

FIREARMS AND THE DAVIS LAW. An order has recently been made to the Secretary of War, to exchange Colt’s pistols for a large lot of old and useless United States arms, which would Prove a splendid bargain for the government; but Senator Davis’ snap judgment law, prohibiting the purchase of patented ‘arms, forbids the Secretary of ‘War taking advantage of the ofter.

DOUGLAS’ YLT DOWNS Kast, rn The visit of Dougias to Connecticut and Massa- chusetts, where he cannot carry a single echool district, instead of touring in doubtful Southern States, is viewed here as very significant. Senator Douglas stated to ‘gentleman in New York the other day that he con- sidered one thing settled in this Presidential campaign, namely, that the next President would come from Llinois. ‘THR TRIAL OF MR. SCHANABEL. Mr. Schnabel, who Heenanized General Bowman in the Constitution office the other day, will be brought up for trial before the Criminal Court of this District to-morrow, upon the charge of assault and battery. He will submit a statement to the Court, which, rumor says, will be- come a new and very interesting chapter relative to the Lecompton policy of the administration, out of which grew the charges made against him in the Constitution, which occasioned the assault upon Bowman. VISIT OF KNIGHTS THMPLAR TO NEW YORK. Washington Commanudary No. 1 of Knights Templar of Freemasons bave accepted an invitation from the Com- manderiesof New York city and Brooklyn to visit those cities, and will leave here on Thursday of next week. ‘They will be accompanied by B. B. Frenoh, Grand Com- mander of the United States. THE BOSTON POSF OFFICE SITS. Postmaster Capen, of Boston, left here this afternoon, witb authority from the President and Postmaster Gene- ral Holt to remove bis office from State to Summer street. ‘The Department confirmed Mr. Capen’s recent notice, is- sued to the citizens, that he should do so. 000 by giving it to Fairchild & Co. instead of to Cummings & Co.; that the Engineer made a mistake of $140,000, and was liable, therefore, to make other mistakes, involving serious losses to the city. Was it not, therefore, the duty of the Mayor to remove him, and is not the cause sufficient? Again, the materials employed on the work in Forty-ninth street are found to be of inferior quality to those guaranteed by the contract, and there are errors in the grade of the work in Thirty-ninth and Fortieth streets which may lead to litigation and loss. For these matters the Engineer is reeponsible. Are they not suf- ficient cause for his removal? But there are other causes for which both the Engineer and Assistant Commissioner de- serve removal. They have retained in office persons proved to have been guilty of official delinquency, in converting the public property to private use. Now, the charter declares that any officer of the city government, or person employed in its service, “who shall commit any fraud upon the city, or convert any of the pub- lic property to his own use, or knowingly per- mit any other person so to convert it, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, in addi- Tova 730 derling exchange, OX 85 jo. @ 7340. ex 4 4 With biit of lading 8% a0 tremics.” ‘a Xchange oa rman 6° perme Creme jothing doing is Naw Onrzens, July 18, 1860.
