THE Great MEETING FAT TAsMASY HALL TO-
NIGHr.-In consequence Of the funeral Of Mr..
Webster having taken place yesterday, the de-
mocracy have postponed thci- great meeting at
Tammnny Hall till this evening. The meeting
will be addressed by several distinguished speak,
eTs, and It is expected that it will be one Of
the greatest demonstrations ever witnessed within
the walls Of the old wgwam. We would take this
opportunity Of calling attention to the want of
proper accommodation for cur reporters in Tam
many Hall. They complain of the place set apart
for them being crowded by persons who have no
business there causing the greatest Inconvenience,
and interfering considerably with the completeness
OF the reports. This was the case on Wednesday
evening last, and it ought no. to be permitted in
future. Besides, there is every danger of the con-
Germ coming down by such excessive weight, and
causing. perhaps, loss fife ana limb. In fact this
little Saery is wholly unsuited for reporting. Il is
one tide Of the room, and very often the speaker
is indistipctly heard, and his meaning mus. be
guessed at. A place ought to be tilted up on the
floor Of the Hall, in front Of the platform. The
duties of verbatim reporting sufficiently ariu ,us
when there is every kid of fair play given the re-
forters. Is it not, therefore, very absurd to throw
difficulties in their way instead Of giving them Ia
cilties :! The less is the side of those who take
an interest in such meetings, have the manage.
ment Of them. Personally, it is of no Consequence
whatever to the reporters.
