TuEsnAy, Sept. 12 NEw Yost:, Sept. 11. Street preaching on Sunday is now a reg 'ular thing in this great Babel, and it is not much wonder it creates riots. One of the city papers ; the Ex - press, thus graphically discribes a scene of the kind iut the Park..— :' our attention was called on Sunday as we passed through the Park (says that paper) to the noisy cheers of the great mass of people congregated' there, and secondly to the aliyi dcd multitude. On theright of the City Hall steps there was an American citizen harangu ing for Protestantism and George Washing ton with all his might, and 00 the left, to an audience two-thirds as large, an Irishman was httranguing for Romanism and the Pope. The foreigners and Americans were about equal in number in the centre of the H all, one row of fitces being turned northward, and the other, like the faithful Mahommed, to the East. Now the Americans would cheer as ouae pert American sentiment ISIIS b utt erect, and now the Irish, anti nlost boisterously, as a good joke was told, a Native Ano-lean hit, or the Pope defended. The zeal on both both sides was at fever heat, an we marvell ed acid admired to set) the multitude compar atively quiet as the tide of passion and feel ing rolled from the vehement speakers. The voiees of the two orators intermingled with each other, tind so did the shouts and groans of the two parties. The Pope and the church, the bishop and the pricstlawl, St. Patrick and St. Peter found a most zealous disciple in the nylon of the east corner, while We thing ton and America, Protestantism and godli ness were as watinly defended on the other Laud. lint the whole exhibition presented to us a sorry sight. The cheers and the groan s,, the bad passions 4)(1 ill-natnred discussions, the absence of every thing like the true spirit of religion, resented a spectacle which it was most painflll to contemplate. The cause of rational liberty and true relh.thon tie fear,- : is most deeply injured by such Sabbath-414 exhibitions. The only satislitetion they can be said to afford, is a vindication of the right of Free hisenssion and a demonstration of .the,nhilitrof I)4)th - followers of the Pope and of the Protestant Church to come within arms-length ()I' each other, and while cursing each other in their 'hearts to refrain from knocking each other down with their fists. We confess to much admiration at this latter spi rit of sel6control." The unfriendly feeling between Protestants and Catholics, painfully visible enough in this city, has been greatly aggravated by the occurrences at Newark—oecurrk-nces which constitute almost the sole ,Aloe of conversa tion everywhere, and with everybody. Every good citizen looks with painful apprehension os to the ultimate consequences. Both sides of the belligerent parties are greatTexaS perated, and ,threats of further collisions are openly masle.-It will require all the' conl judgment and sound discretion of the tinthor, ifies to calm the e,.xcited multitude. A great trotting match - came oft' over'the Union' Course, Long Island, on Thursday af ternoon. It was contested by "Mac," "Theo and "Grey Eddy." The purse $2,500 mile beats; the best three lift-five. The sec ond best to have 'a purse of $6OO. All the nagsrstarted—Mac, however,. was distanced. Eddy, the celebrated trotter, it seems, came l° out victor, winning three heats - in the follow; ing time, viz: 2 minutes, 33 seconds ;,'4 . min- . hates, 31 seconde; 2 minutes,"ll-li seconds. About 5,000 persons were present. The nomination of Gov. Seymour by, the "Soft" democracy at Syracuse does not seem to be very cordially received here even, by the Tammany Hall people. It is generally look ed upon ns settling ono` thing,,. and that is, that •neither Seymour nor Bronson will be c- • lected, !the whigs, in ftiet, will hal; . e ari easy victory. . The Ameripp 'Protestant Association of the city itarturd yesterday, making an itn-' posing appearance. They formed on Arch street at I'2 o'clock, with numerous splendid banners, rich paraphernalia, and several , bands of music. The procession numbered ninety-lie lodges, embracing 1:)78 members on parade. They passed over every part of the city, and were accompanied by a consid erable detachment of Ykre police, to preservi7 . order. \o Catholic churches were passed, and there wi.ro no signs of riot. All the democratic uuminees for Congress . and the Le:rislaturp, in - this city, have respon ded to a letter addressed them, declaring that they have no connection or sympathy with the Know-Nothings. The storm of rain nod wind yesterday was very severe in this region. For several hours the rain :1211 in torrents. Many cellars wore flooded, and aboip. the . tichnyfkill as well as the Ifela ware, 'both of which were somewhat swollen, large quantities of timber were car ried away. In several ivtances dwellings were stripped of their roofs, and ,other dant tip.e dune. The therommeter fell front 92 on ti;tturdav to tlo ve , terday, making a differ ence of' • 32 degrees.

From the Pittsburg Jourenrof Sept. 0: • LIE MEETING LAST NIGHT.—Last evening, long before the hour appointed-for the mat. ing, the spacious lot in the rear 'of the Amer lean Hotel lA;as literally jammed by members of all parties, Militylutil asseniblecl.to, hear the Hon. JAMES POLLOCK, the Whig candi date for Governor, declare his principles:-- Such a large meeting we do not recollect to have seen within the same groutd, - aiid such enthusiastic cheers and -plaudits as were.be stowed upon Pollock, and the triumpkof principles over partisanship, we never heard before. NO. 2 The officers of the meeting were—Presi dmt, Gen. Wm. Lorimer, Jr. Vice Presi dents—Thos. M. Howe, John Shipton, Robt. Mackey, Cot. John Small, Atiron Floyd, Hen ry M. Swartz and Hyzekiah L. Nixon. Sec retaries—A. P. Aushutz, Russel Errel.t and J. P. Penny. Mr. Darragh introduced Judge PoLLot K to the audience, which received him With three hearty cheers. The Judge's speech was an eloquent One, anti made durable hn pression.upon the minds of his auditory. Ile avowed himself an uncompromising advocate of the sale of the Public Works, and gave the figures tq pilive that they have been a losing speeplation to the! State ever sincli their construction. Ile showed that, out of $:13,000,Q09; the: original cost of the con, 'strUction of the Public Works, 'SJ 5,000,600 had nem) its Way into the pockets of the friends, of the AdministratiOn. The entire cost to the 'Statil for the erection of these Works—their construction, repairs, and oth er expenses—since they' first went into ope ration, twenty-five years ago, amounts to the timed sum of $'17,1100,000, and the whole amount of revenue for that tune only sum med up 501110 $23,000,000. Ile said every consideration of morality and patriotism de manded the sale of the 'Public Works. The Judge retie-red t I the amendment to the Con t tion, •i toxin] u ceThat the last session Of the re, for the purpose of creating a Sinkinj., Fool, and the-giving in pledge 11ir payment of interest, the revenue of the Pub lic Works. ,Ife urged that in every Depart ' meat of the State, economy should ie. observ: el, until we were purged of the public debt. The .Judge nest referred to the diffusion of universaleducatiou and religious intoler ance. De was in favor oe increasing the school fund—that rich and poor, high and low, black and white, might all enjoy the privileges of the common schools. lie was __opposel to the division of the School Fund, no matter who demanded it. If the Protest & its asked a part, the Rbinan Catholics a p trt, and the Methodists a part, and they r e . c !ived it—what would lie taught I Naught but bigotry and intolerance. The schools w,•re common now; let them be common for . - ever, free' for all. He stood the advocate of civil and religious liberty, now and forever. When a church enters the -political arena, and filays the politician, then down with it. The church needs not the aid of the State; it is upheld by a mightier power. ' The Judge next referred to the sla'very question. - lie thanked the men of . 1780, tha: .slavery had not now a foothold on this soil; that no slave it-as sighing in bondage here. . -- 1173 alluded to the' ordinance of 17:-17. intro duced by Mr. Jefferson, whieydeelare I th t territories free, indicating that slavery ha I - attained its utmost, arty; that there were to bo no more slave States; no more slave ag gression. He then referred to the admissiob of 'Missouri with the Compromise; also to the aerial- ition of Lotiisizota atur Tt•xtts, all' of which were dedicated to slavers- with the except bin of a portion of the fltditer Stalin(' which is free. After alluding to the Fuf.it-, tive Slave Law, he next referred' to the • '• peal of the Missouri compromise, and i d t enactment of of the Nebraska bill; which r• ceive4 I prompt consideration from the dist n guished speaker. The Judge concluded his remarks by refu ting the slander circulated against him tip the effect that he had opposed in Congress the voting of supplies to our itrmy in Mexi . co. IL• iwonounced it a base falsehood, and produced an extract from a speech delivered by him on . the subject in Congress, which proved that he had not only voted for it, but advocated the passage of the bill.
