Meeting OF the Liberal Republican,
Immense Gathering ~ the Cooper In
stftufe.
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE great
meeting held here tonight to advocate
the Liberal Republican policy of the
approaching Cincinnati Convention,
was one of the largest in numbers and
most imposing in composition ever held
in this city. An hour before the com
meneement of the meeting, Cooper In.
stitute was thronged to its utmost ca
pacity. Thousands clamored in vain
for admission, and falling to find it, re-
manned for hours outside the building.
Every seat was occupied, and the aisles
from the platform upward were densely
crowded.
The audience was eminently respect
able and representative. One platform
was literally packed with men prOmi-
nent in political and social circles in
New York, among when were Horace
Greeley, Sinclair Tousey, Moses H.
Grinnell, Hiram Barney, Marshall
OROberts, Geo. Wilkes, Frank Leslie,
John A. Dix and large number OF
prominent men. At about half past
seven O'Clock the densely crowded audi
ence began to manifest some impatience
to witness on opening of the proceed
tngs. To meet this demand the list OF
Republican officers who had signed the
call for the Cincinnati Convention was
read; the names of many of them were
received with loud cheers.

CONCORD, April l2.-The Merrimaek
river is rising from four TO five inches an
hour at this place, and an extensive
freshet is imminent. Reports from the
State are to the effect that the late rain
was very disastrous TO pFopsrty. The
covered railroad bridge, about one hun
dred feet in length, on the COntoocook
River railroad, at West HenRiker, was
swept away last night. The Federal
bridge across the Merrimaek at East
Concord, four hundred and twenty feet
long, and the Montreal railroad bridge
by the side of it, of the same length,
were swept away by the freshet this
afternoon. The other two bridges win
probably be saved, as the water is fail
ing. Heavy masses of ice are passing
out. A bridge between HoOksett and
Suncook is said to be 50 badly damaged
as 20 render railroad travel between the
two places impossible.

robbery, for in his pockets were found
twelve hundred francs and the following
curious note: Tonight at three o'clock
three assassins are waiting for me in the
