THE ORGIES OF TAMMANY HALL
FExALn BAccuANALs-A New FANNY
WRronr.-We have sharply watched the
movements Of the political leaders OF Tam
many Hall toward tho snfidels in this city,
who make a powerful branch OF the great
Loco Foco Falnily,--and we are quite sure,
that though for while previous to the last
election, they crowded their Great Mother,
Fanny Wright, out Of their Wigwam, yet
she would get in again, or that, at any rate'
the Loco Foco Leaders dare not shut out the
Loco Foco Atheists. We were not ut all
surprised, then, when we learnt that on the
last Sabbath, the Atheist Orgies were re-
newed again in Tammany Hall, and that
new Bacchante appeared on the stand as
Lecturer, attempting to fill up the chasm
created BY the latter unpopularity OF Mad
anne Fanny Wright. These Atheists on
Sunday last had Festival or Benefit, which
was kept up all day, morning, afternoon and
evening. Abundance to the evening per-
Torrance, in which the two Fanny Wrights
came Out, being 25 cents. The New High
Pricsiess, Tammany has found in the per-
son Of Mrs. Rose, who we understand Is a
Polish lady, reported to be divorced from an
elderly gentleman Of that unfortunate coun-
try, and now married to or living with n
very good looking young American, who
attends her on her duties at the Hall. Bat

consequence according to the doctrines she
promulgates, as will be seen in the sequel.
We have had reported the proceedings Of
parts of the two las. Sundays, in order that
people of the United States may understand
a little more Of the Character of that Loco
Foco party which sprung up here from small
beginnings, and at last is debating to the
Federal Administration.
- SERMON AT TAMMANv HALL.
A little notice stuck up as usual on the
outside of the Hall, announced lecture
On Education, to be given in the evening
price of entrance six and quarter cents.
! When we entered the hall, perhaps two
| hundred people had gathered, on the whole
well dressed and well appearing-a stage
was erected, on which were two elderly in
fidels, with Mrs. Ross sitting between them.
Il She had on large white silk hat, fashiona-
| bly, made. After short time she rose, and
taking off her hat and cloak, prepared FIR
4 the ceremony. She appeared to be about
i 80 years old, with large high forehead,
very large dark eyes,. with regular features.
Her hair hung over her neck in the greatest
Iprofusion in ringlets, through which occa-
, sionalsy giittered gold ear rings of:' large
, size, showing no doubt her love for specie
} payments and Benton mint drops. She is
, OF good figure, rather embompoint, and taste
} fully and neatly dressed. She said, SHY
