Great Meeting mt the Tabernacle-The
Mexican War.

The great public meeting to denounce the war
with Mexico, and to prove that all the heroic
deeds performed in that country have been only
so many murders, is to be held this evening, in
the Tabernacle, entering from Broadway. 1t is
the third important meeting of the kind held IN
this countryside first being that held by Mr.
Clay, at Lexington; the second at Philadelphia
and the third now here. No doubt this meeting
will be full, enthusiastic, and very decided in It's
sentiments Some of the most eminent speakers
and politicians in this city will take part IN
the solemn services on the occasion, and the
denunciations against the war in Mexico will be
very warm and very powerful.
We also expect, by the next steamer from Eu-
rope, similar very important proceedings, de-
nouncing the war with Mexico, that may have
taken place in the British House of Commons.
Parliament was to have met on the 18th of last
month; and in the interval that has elapsed from
hat period to the sailing of the steamer of the
18th instant, it is probable that the distinguished
orators in that body of men, took occasion to
express their sentiments on the Mexican war !;
md the probability is, that these sentiments will
resemble those ofthe London newspapers--bitter,
brutal, and bigotted, against the Yankees. Be-
ore the close ofthe last session, there were mani
ested, in both houses of parliament, such senti-
nents in relation TO the Mexican war. Lord
3rougham took occasion to denounce the
shocking barbarities, !" the 'atrocious conduct
If the American people, in the management Of
he Mexican war The events OF the last few
months will not tend 10 smooth down the feel
Nc of the British lords on this subject.
We may expect, therefore, by the steamer, a
,atch of denunc iations equal TO those that have
,een held forth at Lexington or Philadelphia;
,r that will be delivered at the ever holy Taber-
lacle to-night-price 500.
One thing strikes us, in this position of affairs
rom which of the twochannels shall we receive
he deepest and most Bitter denunciations of the
,rilliant acts of the American army in Mexico
nd the conduct of the American people, in per-
nitting these things to take place |? Their
peeches, articles and sentiments, on the other
ide of the Atlantic, are bad enough; but we doubt
whether, in bitterness or effect, they will equal
What will take place at the Tabernacle tonight.
We rather think the Anne rican orators, who will
enounce, in every possible way, the American
government and the American people, will ex-
eed even the denunciations of the British Par.
lament and the British press. Tonight we
hall know. In the meantime, we promise ou
riends a full report of the proceedings at thu
tabernacle tonight, and of the British Parlia
lent, at the same time, should the steamer ar

The Can adlan Elections.

Canada is, at the present moment, IN very IN
.resting predcament No less a subject than
lat of general election, throughout the whole
myth and breadth Of the land, is now in agi-
ltion. 1t will be held next month Like the
,ssing waves. of a troubled ocean, her population
on the point of being, tor some time, at least
gitated and roaring with the throes of political
arturitlon.
This general election in Canada, Will, we are
clined to believe, form a crisis in the history
that country. 1t is, perhaps, the most impor-
mt election of the kind which has ever been had
Canada and it is big with more important
,nsequences than any former one. 1t will shake
lat colony, therefore, by its movement, from the
.ntre 10 the circumference Here, by the bye,
e would remark how unrea sonable the reproach
which monarchlsts bring against our republic,
imely, that we are too frequently agitated by
excitement of general elections. Here is
anada, monarchical State, governed by kings,
Teens, viceroys, and lords, in abundance; and
It, this monarchical Canada is prey to the agi-
ton of elections, and is convulsed by their
olence. Therefore, monarchy Is not a preven-
We of these disturbances, and has no right to re-
zach us with a failing common to both.
1t does not require much knowledge or much
search to understand why, at this moment, ge-
.ral election in Canada is of such portentous
lportance. In the very nature of men and OF
ings, it is impossible that our neighbor can
er be in a state Of contentment and tranquility
ider her present regime. There must be IN
itably, and necessarily, too, great parties in
lnada, no matter by what names they are
Town, absorbing all other minor divisions
parties, viz. a monarchlcal and repub-
AN party. OF these two parties, the first
entioned must always numerically be the
eakest, and the latter be the most powerful
long as the monarch lives abroad, and not al
me, across the water, and not within her mo-
rchdom-so long as this monarch rules over
| NADIA, by sending her servants and depu
s, and places men and pensioners to rule
! govern, instead of herself, just so long must
,narchy be foreign to Canada so long must
friends of this monarchy be foreign party
long must the country regard itself, under
n deputy government, as being virtually with
an actual government-that is, without d
ne and native government, belonging to them
yes, and settled among them

The OPERA.-Another brilliant and fashionable
house is expected at the Astor Place Opera House
tonight; Truh and Benedict again make their
appearance in "Lucia." The soirfes at Astor
Place are the most brilliant, beautiful, and ex-
traordinary things that ever characterised
fashionable society in New York 1t is really a
sight to see the house on a great night, indepen-
dent of the opera, the prima donna, or the tenor.
The elite are carrying every thing their own
way, and even the canaiHe are washing their
faces, shaving themselves, and having their hair
cut and pomatumed; and what is more, are ac-
tually putting on white kids and seating them
selves in any and every part of the house where
they can procure seat for love or money. Doors
are becoming gentlemen, by the influence of
sweet sounds and congregation OF beautiful
faces. The follies committed. by the managers,
about the free list, al the commencement, are
nearly forgotten, and the silly and impairment
criticisms of some of the critics are finding their
proper level Notwithstanding all the efforts OF
certain clques to destroy the beautiful Biscacci-
anti aud her prospects, we should not be sur
prised to see her rise out of the conflict, the
greatest and most popular Of all attached to the
establishment.

BTsHoP HUGHES DEFENDED.-Thurlow Weed
undertakes to defend Bishop Hughes from the
imputation generally made against him, of be-
ing meddling politician.
This is generous feeling shown by one poll
tician towards another. Bishop Hughes opera
tons upon the school question, some time back,
may possibly have sprung from the best of mo-
tives; but it was his indiscretion which pro-
| duced-it was the bad spirit of that discussion
which led the way, to all those violent agtations
which-shortly after disgraced both New York
and Philadelphia. Bishop Hughes may have be-
come little more wary IN his political conduct
at the present day; but his whole frame of mind
constitutes him politician; and, indeed, he is no
mean one.
Whatever we have said in relation to Bishop
Hughes has sprung from the best of motives,
and with the intention of doing him good and
keeping him straight His recent political
meddlng is, upon the whole, rather venial
he has been rather more moderate and cautious
than he used to be, so that now we are tolerably
we'll pleased with him. HIS sermon at Wash
ington was the best production of the kind
he has ever made-the best sermon that ever
came from his lips. He is doing well, and
is in the right way; and we therefore do not
despair of making him yet one of the best bish-
ops ofthe Catholic church in this or any other in
country. He has too much sagacity, too much
common sense and sound philosophy, to be UNI
der the influence of the narrow principles and
contracted formulas of preceding ages. Bishop
Hughes is more of philosopher than bishop,
and we think he will yet shine higher than he
has ever done.
As to Thurlow Weed, we are of the opinion he
| must shine less for we think his day is past.
