We direct the attention of the reader to tlie communication in another column touching a kind of nondescript assemblage bold in Toyn bee'a fiotel on last Thursday night. The history this affair is one of the curiosities of the subterranean, under ground, hole and corner politics of the day. A few individuals, the vic tims of social, political and financial bankruptcy, conceived the thing in privacy and brought it forth in darkness and concealment. A few secret circular were got up. and two or throe despatched to each ward, beine addressed to individuals who wore supposed to bo composed of the right kind of niaterlaj to favor tho operation.

The 1 business was conducted on tho real third degree, Know Nothing plan. Nobody was to be admitted but the favored few who rocoivod the secret circular; what grips, signs, winks, nods or password wero requisite to insure admittance, out side barbarians have not been able to ascertain. The object of the meeting was pronounced to he to consolidate rhe "Democratic party," and oppose all the isms of tho day, Wo were not aware that the Democratic party of this city was divided wo have not hoard of any symptoms of division now. Wo also labored under "he idea that such an organization as the Democratic Republican General Committee of the City of Brooklyn existed that it was composed of representatives from each ward, in whose selec. tfon every Democrat has a voice that it alonc officially represents tho Democratic party of this oity that its organization is such as to insure effectiveness to its deliberations, and that if the Democratic party of this city revuires any particular nursing it should afford it.

In county affairs the County committee occupies tho same position. But we find a few individuals assembled in secret conclave, without character or standing in society, with perhaps a few decent men among them, but not enough to preserve the mass from putrifaction. representing no constituency, attempt to usurp the functions of Hio regularly constituted political bodies. The little irresponsible self constituted clique might as well have proceeded across tho street the Common Council Chamber and resolved kelf into a Common Council and pass ordinan. to grade and pave streets and flag sidewalks.

Such action would, of course, be an insolent, con tmpAble ludicrous farce, but not more so than snytfing they could do in pursuance of the ol ject thoy had in meeting. Why, any baker's dozen of individuals might meet in any rum base ment in the city and resolve and so forth, and forth, and their action would lo as binding vtpon others that of the Falstaff regimen under review. The three immortal tallers of Toole street who resolved that they, "the people of England" would do thus and so, wero no'tmmv properly objects of laughter and derision. Bui the) project was an abortion like the animal called the Kangaroo a kind of link between the oviparous and viviparous classes which brines forth its young in such, an imperfect condition that they must be kept for a season in an external pouch on the parental abdomen, this scheme came into the world in such a sickly state thai paregoric can't save it. We propose to call the ew party thtijfcangaroos.

Like the animal just described, or the quadruied which Balaam rode, their strength and agility lesides in the hind legs. The real object of the movement we will state fa a few words. Its movers who flourished so extensively at the meeting, are sinking and must prasp at something. They intended to spread a a kind of Know Nothing network over the wards. by which they could decide the character of the nominating conventions, and secure the nomination of such men to office as would promise to amlt their snouts into the public swill tub.

We understand that tho candidates are already selected, and the are to have no more to do with the matter. Three individuals from eaeb ward are to constitute the higher law directory and vote themselves into all the offices to be filled. Of course a ticket of their construction would be sunk than ever plummet sounded," but desperate cases require desperate remedies. We fear, however, that their well intended efforts will afford another proof that 'tlie best laid schemes of mice and ofy misearry. SCTTBT A GENTLEMAN FOR BREACH OF PkOMISE.

In one of our Englislrpapors, received by the Canada, is an account of an action for breach of promise marriage, brought by a Captain of the Lancashire Militia, against a handsome and wealthy young lady residing at Clifton. Tho counsel for tho plaintiff in ftygning the case, said that such actions were generally brought by bidics against gentlemen, but there conld be no reason why a gentleman should not bring suoh an action. The Captain had written nbe lady, offering her marriage, and ho had accompanied the letter with a ring. To this tho defendant replied that hor feelings were completely in unison with his, and she with pleasure aeeoptodhis "dear ring' Everytldng went smoothly on cards and envelopes, bridesmaids and dresses, were all ordered and engaged till within a day of the appointed nroe that should bind tho loving pair in the "holy hands of matrimony," when, presto! her mind is hanged, and sha refuses to fulfil her engagement. The gallant son of Mars, chagrined and mortified st the conduct of the unfaithful one, sought lrees at law and tho jury, feeling that the Captain was a wrongod and injured man.

returned a vordiet his favor, damages 800. We were surprised yesterday on tho receipt or our telegraphic dispatch from Syracuse to find that the Soft Shell Convention had nominated Bon. John A. Lott of this county as one of their candidates for the Court of Appeals. Mr.

Lott has been regarded as one of the hardest of the Nationals, and we had not heard of bis conversion to the other side of the houso. A Victem or Confidsnce.

He was strapped to I to the wall, and complained of the compression of his limbs and the tightness of the collar around 'his neck, I could not get my finger within his collar. I frequently conversed with the prisoner when he was at work at the crank he always complained of being to weakly, and so he appeared.

He was always complaining. The last occasion when I saw him wns on a Sunday evening. He had been releasod from the jacket that morning. He complained then of hunger and want of food. He was always pained and anxious.

He committed suicide on the 27th." Thos. Frear "I was chief warder in April, 1853, and knew the prisoner Andrews. He had 10,000 revolutions of the crank to perform during tho day. He had 2,000 before breakfast, 4,000 between breakfast and dinner, and 4,000 after dinner. If be did not do the 2,000 before breakfast he would not have his breakfast' and if he failed in performing the 4,000 after dinnor, he would not be allowed dinner, and if tho whole 10,000 were not done at bedtime ho would bo put on bread and wattei.

He would bo without gas if he had not done his work during J. Brooks I was night warder in the Birmingham jail in 1853, and remember finding Andrews dead in his cell on the night of tho 27 th of April. Ho had hung himself to a bar of the window. The prisoner had been deprived of his bed that John Wood 'I was schoolmaster in the Birm inghani jail in April, 1853. I knew the boy Andrews.

He did not come under my tuition as be was so frequently under punishment. I never saw him violent or refactory. The Sunday be foro his death I was attracted by a loud moaning noise in one of the cells, and I followed the noise until I reached the cell from which it proceeded. It proceeded from Jftlrews. I found him with his jacket on, and the floor was covered with water.

In tlie water lay a pair of socks and he stood upon them. His feet was bare. A. bucket was near. It would hold a large quanti ty of water.

I saw the prisoner released. I remember he had marks on his arras and body, as if much pressed, lie appeared very weakly. Witness referred to a minute he made the day after Andrews death, and which stated that the prisoner reeled mid staggered from weak ness.

Austin, Lieutenant in the navy and governor of the jail. It seems to he but a rather strongly marked episode in British prison discipline; while the inmates of the poor houses arc subjected to still more horrifying and inhuman treatment. But we have another case which we find in the Northern Ensign awcotch paper, as follows In a small house in Tubeg Skorrcy, iu tho Parish of Tongue, lived a Highlander and his wife, within less than a quarter of a mile of the house in which they wero both born and brought up, and which they still occupied as tenants under tho Duke of Sutherland, Mr.

Robert Horsborough being factor. Shortly before the occurrence which our contemporary McKay 's wife was confined of her fourth child, and was still in hod and unfit to be removed from it. But on tho 26th of June, a neighbor informed M'Kay that a party of law officers wero coming to turn himself and family out. The husband hastened to the house to inform his wife, and, of course console her. In an instant the messcnger at arms, with his party, were at the door their speaking was heard by the poor woman, and she began to tremble cold perspiration covered tier bodv all over the officers came in and soon cleared the house of every article of furniture and, lastly, the wife and her newly born babe, must be turned out too.

The law officers said they would be required to execute their commis sion. The poor woman spite oi every remonstrance, was doomed to be removed. These executioners of justice had, thoy said, their instructions but may it not ha said, want ed the tenderness which would suggest to them the delicacy and danger of interfering with a woman in such a state 1 They surrounded her in the corner in which she lay, laid hold of the sheet or coveriug which was under her, carried her out of the Iiousp and placed her on the ground at a distance, and sped back to the work of demolition divots and cabers wore thrown in all diicctions the hatchet cnt down the couple tree and in a very short time the hut disappeared, and so did its destroyers. Thoy hadmoro work of a kindred nature to perform that day. In a agony of feeling, the husband ran off a distanco of five milos to procure medical aid, while his wife, with hor new born infant, lay on a little straw upon the ground and it was not till night that, by the kindness of her poor neighbors, she and her children wero deposited in nn empty barn.

It is not many mouths since tlie ladies of England appealed to their sisters of America on behalf of the poor blacks, imploring them to exert their influence to put an end to the deplorable and shocking system of Slavery and the first name which the signature to that appeal bore was the Duchoss of Sutherland. Will that woman look at homo and think of poor William M'Kay's wife, carried in a sheet out of the hut. and laid trembling on the ground, with her newborn infant in her arms Will she speak one eloquent word of remonstrance in favor of the poor whites who have the misfortune at this mo ment, to have their holdings on her husband's ostate 1 Street preaching has become quite popular in Liverpool and other parts of Great Britain, and is sidd to be producing good results.

GEO. C. THOMPSON, Chairman. Daniel Marquis, Seo'y. A Story and a Wahnino.

The Now Orleans Delta relates the following sad story, by way of admonishing its readers against any participation in the lottery mania, which is said to prevail very extenslvoly in that city "A poor but industrious mechanic had been labonug for years to accumulate sufficient mo ncy to purchase a homestead for himself and family. On returning home on each Saturday night he would place his weekly salary in the hands of his wife, and request her to lay It by. A few months since, knowing that he' must have saved a couple of thousand dollars by his nidus try and frugality, and learning that a piece of property was for sale iu the upper portion ol the city, winch would be an advantageous invest ment, he called upon 'he owner, and it was of fered to him at a bargain. Overjoyed with his good fortune, he hastened home to his and conveyed to her the glad news, and asked for the moneyto close the purchase. But, alas there was no joyful response in the countenance of his better half, but bursting into tears she wept most bitterly, and refused to be comforted.

The husband was astonished, and asked for an explanation. With head averted, and voico interrupted by heart broken sobs, she make known to her husband the startling fact which fell upon him like a thunderbolt and causing reason to totter and real from its throne that she had wasted all his hard earnings in the purchase of Havana lottery tickets. vacant stare from the eyes of the husbandwhich met this astonishing disclosure plainly showed that he was no longer capable of appreciating his loss, but with a maniac laugh, wild and startling, ho left his home, his wife and little ones, never more to return. A few days more passed and his body was taken from the river. The coroner held an inquest upon it, and a verdict of suicide informed the public how he died; but why he died remained a secret." Profit of Farming.

A Springfield correspondent of tho Alton Courier, writing on tho 22d! says Tlie growth of vegetation has this season been most wonderful. Fields of "corn in some localities will average eighteen feet in height. "Sod corn" (land broken up this spring, and corn planted by making holos in the sod with an axe and leaving it to shift for itself) will make sixtf and sovonty bushels an acre. More system is being adopted by our farmers in growing their crops. Formerly everything of this kind was done in a careless manner, and farmers could not tell what their wheat or corn cost them when ready for market.

I was conversing a few days ago with Col. Wm. B. War ren, of Jacksonville, who has a farm in Island Grove, in this county, on the subject of his wheat crop. He said he had made a nice calculation and his crop had netted him $20 an acre, for tho land it occupied, after'deductiug every expense of its cultivation, at the present price of wheat.

His estimate ot the cost or corn, ai ioc. per bushel, will net more than $11 per acre profit. Mr. ReginH. Consent, a thorough farmer, on Wolf Greek, in this county, had also made a calculation of the value ot his wheat crop, and the cost of production, by which be was satisfied that his profit clear of all expense, per acre, was more than $17.

Facts like these will open the eyos of tho hard toiling farmors of tho East to the profits of the agricultural profession iu the West. The land in the case referred to here, is worth from $20 te $30 per acre now but farms are advancing in value. A Scne in Louisville.

Kihtor Having hoard that somo kind of a necrot meeting was to be held at Toynboe's Hotel on Thursday night last, and having a taste for the pur snit of knowledge under diliienltioB, I proceeded to tho scene, accompanied by a few friends. On reaching the entrance, however, wo found that theco was "no admittance, except on business," and as wo had noue of tho Beeret passports, wo wero in danger of being compelled to remain on the wrong sido of tho edifice. Finally one of tho initiated an employ oe in tho Navy Yard announced that all would be admit ted, and we entered, Tho walls wore lined with a wainscotting of indivdnals, about fifty in all, tho middlo of the floor being vacant. Tho chairman possessed the advantage of being doaf as a post, and thereby, 1 suppose, was saved from tho pain of hearing a vast amount of ignorant and nngramatical nonsense. Motions were made to appoint this ouo and that ono Secretaries, but the gentlemen declined, alleging that they wore ignorant of tho intents and purposes of tho meeting.

A set of resolutions had boon prepared te "unitu and consolidate the Democratic party," and do many other fine things, and spoechos were delivered by throe or four persons. A little dapper looking follow with an awful cockney twist in his tongue denounced the A'isms of the day, and was in favor of fuimwst men for ('office, and down on 'opprcsion and so forth. One gentleman proposed that the meeting adopt the resolutions passed at tho Democratic State Convention held at Syracuse on the 23d of August.

Viator. Railway prom France to England. M. Favre, a French engineer, has just published some observations relative to the possibility of making arailway under the channel from France to England. The length of the work, he says, would, be 30 kilometres (18 8 3 English miles,) and pierced at such a depth as to always leave 2ri metres at least between the arch and the bottom of the sea.

Tho tunnel, he proposes to have lined with a double archway, one of bricks, and the other of iron, this latter, pierced with narrow openings, to at once allow the slightest Infiltra tion to be. perceived. Referring to the repeated in breaks of water in making tho tunnel under tho Thames, he says that nothing of the kind can be apprehended in attempting a tunnel under the Channel, as for the greater part of the distance tho ground consis's of hard rock, whero the so'l under tho Thames was of bine clay of no consistence. Irish Gam antrv. In chronicling the details of the recent railroad catastrophe, tlie N.

He replied that his complaint, ho believed, must bo about tha region of tho heart, for it could not be othorwUs with so many bright eyes looking upon him. A Rag Picker's Heirs.

Greeley is" Disgcsteb. In a recent let ter from London Mr. Greeley says "The Eng lish are not skilful in varnishing vice at least I have seen no evidence of their tact in that lino.

I have endured the spectacle of men dancing with women when rather becry and smoking but at last the sight of a dark, and by no means elegant mulatto waltzing with a decent looking white girl while puffing away at a rather bad cigar proved too much for my Yankee prejudice, and I started." How will Greelcv bo able to face his abolition friends after uch a frank and fragrant admision as tho above 1 He will certainly be readout of the Tabernacle Hon. Ogden Hoffman, tho Attorney General of the State, fuvnished the Governor with his opin ion on the Liquor Law, at the Governor's own request. It happened to be adverse to the law, and the Governor suppressed it. The Times and Tribune then denied that any such opinion had been given whereupon Mr. Hoffman comes out in a letter and declares that he did furnish such an opinfon.

Mr. Hoffman was on the Whig State flcket last fall. Will Greely attribute his opinion to rum influence, or hint that he was drunk when he wrote it, as he did in the case of the recent decision of Judge Brown 1 An Interrupted Reformation. A Rutland rumseller being recently before a grand Jury as a culprit, assumed the attitude of an accuser of the authorities, sayin "It la a pity I was dis turbed. The people were becoming so well treated that they took liquors from me that were two thirds vtattr.
