James NJ Reynolds, the chief leader Of the Clay
clubs OF this city, has issued spiritsiing procla-
nation in the Fourier organ, the Tribune, and
called all his clubs together ON Friday next, for
the purpose of commencing grand movement for
the Presidency and to elect Mr.. Clay Mr. Rey-
nolds is very amiable and energetic man, and
very firmly believes that il was to the organization
of the g coon-cubs," that Gen. Harrison was in
debted for his election. And Mr.. Reynolds now
considers that Mr. Clays election is certain by the
same machinery, without the aid of any press or
party organization. He must purchase great dea
of oil, and have his machinery very well creased
indeed, to perform the same feat again.
GREAT DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN TAMMANY HALL
AND THE PARK.-We understand that the elements
of the democracy here intend to hold triumphant
public meeting in favor OF the Baltimore Conven-
ton, combining all the friends OF Van Buren, john
son, Cass and others, in Tammany Hall and the
Park, in a short time. 1t will be general demon
stration of the union-the complete union-of all
the elements of the democratic party; and If they
come out in full force, it will be one of the most
important movements against the wings that has
yet taken place.
ATLANTIC STEAM SHIPS AGAIN-We see IN near
ly all the papers full and somewhat startling ac-
count given of the disaster to the steam ship Brl-
tannia while on her last passage from Halifax to
Boston.
It appears that she went ashore on Pollock's Rip
or the Horse Shoe, which is said to be the worst
place on our coast, and where hundred or more
dead bodies have been picked up from wrecks
within the last five years. She struck on this dan
gerous point in gale Of wind, and while there ice
was constantly making on her decks and rigging
1t was only by the power of steam that she was
enabled to back of and run clear of it by standing
to sea.
This presents fearful prospective to any one in
tending to cross the Atlantic. 1t is one not very
agreeable to look upon, and therefore passengers
will not look upon it; they will not pass the Horse
Shoe; they will take passage in our packets in
preference. 1t is very easy, however, for the
Cunard steamers to avoid that Scyla; they can
come to and start from New York, and thus have
clear and safe offing, wide enough for any ship.
There are several hundred gentlemen, residing
out of the city Of New York, who, like myself,
have been pundered by the North American Trust
COMPANY have seen m many OF them ne Ihey are
with the opinion Of the counsel referred to, IN
pamphlet form. Will you give hint to some en-
terprlZlng printer. ii list OF the sales OF the as
SETS of some OF the broken banks, (the Commercial,
Tor instance,) were appended, 1t would add to the
sale OF the book very much.
ANswER.-If some of the cheap publishers would
publish, in cheap form, all the bank developments
of the last few years, it would sell better than the
Mysteries of Paris.
The BALL AT THE AsTon LAST NIGHT.-Thls
was rather curious and amusing affair, some
thing between Tammany Hall dollar ball, and
the balls given by the Mrs. Ravendears and Mrs
Cheatemals up town in Waverley Place and the
Fifth Avenue. 1t occupied sort Of border ground
between the extreme gauche and the extreme
droit in fashionable New York Society. Some of
the incidents very rch-as rich as the supper.
We shall give full and glowing account of it in
few days.
"YoUNG AMERICA" in all its chivalry and grace
will throng the Park Theatre tonight. The bal
comes off, and will be a most magnificent affair.
1t will beat the Boz ball all to pieces. "Young
America intends to create great a revolution In
the world of fashion as in politics. The miserable,
bankrupt, upstart, ipudent pretenders in fashiona-
BILE society," must be driven to the wall, as well as
the old rotten politicians. Let us get our kids
ready and so!
AMERICAN KINDNEss.-We have received the
following note, with request to publish the same:-
