NEW YoRK, Oct. 20. 1850.
So absorbing is the interest excited by the APP
preaching election and the great Union meeting
to take place tomorrow night at Castle Garden,
that hardly any thing else is talked of, or any
other subject discussed by our daily press. Some
three or four thousand Of the names appended to
the call for the great meeting appear in the Cou-
riT y Enquirer, Express, Herald, Ne,o Yorker, and
| Mirror, Of to day; but as great number of names
remain unpublished Mr.. WEBSTER has written
long letter to the committee in reply to an invi-
tation to address the meeting. The gentlemen
VINO are to speak at the meeting are Messrs.
JAMES w. GERARD, w. M. EvARTs CHARLES
O'CoNoR, HIRAM KETcHuM, and JAS. II. BRADY,
gentlemen well known for their talents and politi-
cal integrity. 1t will be one of the most imposing
political demonstrations that has been witnessed
in this city these twenty years Where there is 80
much earnestness of feeling, there must Of course
be some disaffection; and few men among the
| Wings, who profess to be Of the party. but Tho
are, in reality, only Adventures on their own
'hook," and little for the success of any body
but themselves, have taken this particular time to
get up small rebellion Mr. George W. Blunt
has this morning published "Card''-not exactly
a trump, but decidedly trumpery-in which he Of
fers himself as candidate for Wing votes in the
9th Congressional district, in opposition to MIR.
Brooks. Mr.. Blunts objections TO Mr.. Brooks are
that he did not vote the Fugitive Slave BILL and
that he did vote in favor Of paying ten millions to
Texas. So far Mr.. Brooks is concerned Mr..
BLuNTs card is good card enough, as it will be
pretty sure to gain good many votes for the re-
gular candidate of the party.
| We have this morning Geographic news of the
arrival Of the Canada at Halifax yesterday. She
brings three days later intelligence than that re-
| ceived by the Pacific; but it amounts to nothing
Among the passengers by the Canada is MIR.
GEORGE THOMPSON, whose coming have already
| alluded to- understand that he intends lecturing
not on Abolitonism, to recruit his finances, and
will remain in this country, unless he should be
| asain driven out of it, about four months. Mad'lle
Nathalie Fitz James also comes in the Canada, to
dance at the Astor Place Opera. house, probably
for the same that MIR. Thompson comes to
lecture, viz: to recruit her finances. Fitz James
has long since passed the bewtching period of her
ife and has not the reputation of having been
very charming in her person. However,
have no great dancer here, she may small
sensation among our opera goers.
| The peerless JENNY will leave here week after
next, on her southern tour, and Mr.. BARNUM in
forms me she will give two concerts in Washing
ton the first week in December the first one will
be given the 3D. She will sing in the new Cath
Ole church, which has been offered to her for the
purpose She will give three concerts before
coming to Washington in the Front Street The
atrc, Baltimore, and, after leaving Washington,
will go to Charleston, and thence to New Or
leans Havana. 1t has been reported in the
papers that Jenny made present of ten thou
sal a of hers Ey-
ing in Brooklyn. The report is strictly true,
but the act would never have been known if
the fortunate Swede had not himself told Of it. He
ia very worthy person named Jousbury, who kept
a music store many years in Fulton street, Brook
Ign, and was burned out by the great fire which
occurred there two years since, and has not since
been able to re-estabsh himself in business He
was not, as has been stated, play fellow of Jen-
ny's, but she knew his family well in Stockholm.
1t is not little remarkable that while Jenny has
shown go great degree of kindness towards all
the natives Of her country whom she has encoun-
tered since her arrival here, the only person to-
wards whom she has manifested any ill WILL or dis
like for, has been Frederika Bremen. Jenny quite
frightened young gentleman out of his wits, in
Boston, who, thinking to say something pleasant
TO her, began to compliment Mics Bremen, by the
very decided manner in which she let him know
her feelings by stamping on the floor, and
contradicting plumply what he said. She said to
Charles Sumner, :" don't know what the people
here mean by the manner they speak of Frederika
Bremen"
| "Why," replied Mr.. Sumner, "she is undoubt-
edy woman of genius"
"She undoubtedly ia not" replied Jenny. and so
the conversation dropped.
There is old Misunderstanding between these
Morse ladies, which probably had its origin in
Sweden. When il first announced that Jenny
| was coming here, Miss Bremen was frequently APP
piled 10 for letters of introduction her; but she
refused all her friends, without giving any
for her refusal.
Stocks are up again in Wall street, and the slight
decline that took place few days since has been
succeeded by reaction that promises to exceed
the sudden rise in the marketable value Of all pub
lie securities which occurred month since. Money
is abundant, and confidence in the continued PROF.
pcrity of the country is undated.
Since the annexation of California, and the dis
covery of the gold mines, direction has been
given to trade, which promises to result in the de-
velopment Of our genius for chip building 10
tent which has never before been deemed possible.
Flectness, now ia the great requisite which ship
builders aim at, and already some specimen ships
have been produced that appear to leave little to be
