Thr Public Urrting toaslglst of Young Wliigs at Masoulc Hall. On Monday, those valuable democrats, Slam, Bang A Co., held a meeting nt Tammany Hall, of which we gave a full account yesterday, doing jus tice to little Cam, but forgetting to mention that several other "slambangers," such as Col. Ming, Ma jor Carrand Mr. McKeon also made speeches,and good ones too. Young John Yran Buren, stature six feet one, thickness of legs two arid a half inches, looking like a radish with acurisHsly carved head on its top, also made his appearance. Thus far thus well.?We have now the pleasure to state that Dick Robinson A Co., alias Frank Rivers & Brothers, alias Rosina Townsendtfc Sisters have called the following meeting in Masonic Hall this evening:? jr rUBLlO MEETING.?THE WHIG YOUNG MEN of ti)<? city siid county ?f N?-w York arc requested to niir ml a general nieeii-i; to W he|<i at Masonic Hall on WEDNES DAY EVENING next. November 1. at *even o'clock, for the purpose of .tfertint' a thorough and entire organisation for the COMPLETE SUCCESS, at the approaching election, of the r gularlv nominated Whig candidates for Senator, Members of Ass?twbly and County officer*. K. c. WETMOKE, Chairman, Wm. Turner, , Sprr-tarie<. Wm. D. Greene, f B'crrurle - We have no doubt that this will be a tremendous as semblage. The principles involved in the contest is of the greatest importance to fashionable society, and certain exclusive circles, who live down town and promenade Broadway at noon. The nomination of Joe Hoxie, and the manner, and stand tnken in bringing it before this community, sufficiently reveal the magnitude of the doctrines and practices now at stake. We understand that the whole Robinson junto thoughout thecity will be present?and that the favor ites of Ros.naTownsend will fill the corridors and swell the meeting till it reach half across Broadway?one wing at Duaitc street, the other at Anthony. Ogden Hoffman, Esq., will be called upon to make another eloquent speech in favor of the "innocent boy"?ho will be followed by Frank Rivers, Jun., who intends tolgive a most vivid doecription of the fashionable life led by " young merchants of respectability," (now unfortunately all rotten bankrupts,) who were in the Habit of visiting that famous establishment. One of the friends of Rosina will close the services of the evening, with a full and particular history of the life and retirement to Kinderhook of that amiable and accomplished lady?Rosina the nonpareil. A well written and eloquent address will be read and after wards published in the Courier A Enquirer, and other whig papers tomorrow morning. This address will go into a private history of the "innocent boy," de tailing at large the great efforts made by the candidate Hoxie to save his life from the barbarous meshes of the law, with a long account of the splendid speeches made by Mr. Hoffman on that trial, and the personal attendance of Joe Hoxie on the same occasion, for which he wishes to be inade county clerk, worth 110,000 a year. There can be now no doubt, we think, of the entire success of Dick Robinson A Co.'a ticket. Booby Brsoks vf the Express acknowledges that Fanny Wright gives all her power, eloquence, and influence to Slam, Hang& Co. of Tammany Hull?but what is Fanny Wright's influence compared with Rosina Townicnd's ? " A mere circumstance," as they say in Wisconsin. Fanny Wright, tho Tammany Hall ?racle, as the Booby says, is a plain, homely, sim ple talking woman. Rosina Townsend, the goddess ?f the whigs, is handsome, black eyed, tall, dashing and all for action and love. Fanny Wright simply explain* her moral code by trope and figure?Rosina Townsend enforces her clhertal principles of happi ness by example, behavior, and personal conduct. Fanny Wright, in spit* of all her talk, has never had but one husband, and stuck to him like an old fash ioned fool ?Rosina Townsend has had " a dozen of ysung merchants of respectability" in a single year, and, like Alexander the Great, sighing for mot worlds to rule over, has always been ready for the embraces of a fresh lot as fast as the banks could set them sp in business by shaving their pnper at 2 to 3 per cent a month. Fanny Wright set up the Hall of Science, and taught only a few of the ologics to a few simple women ?Rosma Townsend setup the Saloon of Morals and Fashion in Thomas street, and taught "the young merchants of respectability" the intrllsc tual and recondito art of female seduction, ending in murder, arson, trials of murders and escapes of felons to Texas in order to become patrots. la every point of view tho favorite of the democrats, Fanny Wright, asBooby Brooks says she is, is a mere baga'.elie to the splendid, gaudy, fashionable, morn), re ligions, engaging Rosina Townsend, the favori'eofthc Whigs, snd thr personification of their taste in morals and refinement. At this moment, "Fanny dearest" is trying to pick up a few sixpences by giving lectures a gnrnst the hanks, while the enchanting Rosina is en joying her oHitm eumdignitatt at Kinderhook, where ? class.r. villa was erected to her, by the gratitude, friendship, and purses of " young merchsnts of re aper lability," the friends and favorites of tho rotten banks. Rosina has, we learn, taken to studying the currency, and mtenda to come down this work and give lectures in favor of the hanks, the crrdit sys tem, and high prices, in opposition to Fanny Wright's hard money system, low prices and loeofocoiam. In short, Funny Wright is a vulgar locofoco? Rosina Townsend s dashing whig conservative. Ftenossfy, however, etnnot R. C. W.tmore, Chair man, William Turner, and Wm. D. Groene Secreta ries, see the position in which they stsnd before the world by sanctioning such s detcstible ticket as the Hoxin faction has put forth ? Do they not see that So support that ticket involves the first principles of morality, virtue, justice, and national honor 1 Can She respsctable young men, who will meet in Mason ic Hall ??night, be so cruel to their own reputation? to thsf of their fathers? to that of their dearest mo thers?their pure snd sweet sisters, ns to endorse such principles, approve sucb conduct, si rejotec at *ich | doing* u the Hoxie faction haa dared to preaent to them for approval 7 The majority of the whig ticket may yet be aaved, by a united and virtuous effort to atnke off such names as Hoxie and a few others. Take these names off, ana before this week, has ter* minated the whole aspect of the political question will have changed. Come?young gentlemen?virtuous honorable, independent, intelligent whigs?be true to yourselves?be true to your excellent impulses. Do not permit miserable, broken-down, political hacks to obliterate the tone of morality, the principles of re ligion?the precepts of justice by base intrigue and impudent bluster. The moral feelings of this great city have been outraged by the impudent nomination put forth from the Broadway House. It is not a ques tion of a dirty, miserable party that you arc called up mi to decide. It is a question of morals?it is to say whether seduction, profligacy, licentiousness, crime, dissipation, ending ia murder and arson shall escape the just condemnation of a great moral and intelligent people, and the supporters of that state of society be rewarded with public oflicc. If you take the Hoxie ticket tonight, be assured that the whig cause will sustain one ol the most overwhelming de feats that ever took place in New York. It cannot escape. Be cautious?be prudent ?be wise while there is time. Strike the Hoxie clique from the ticket and all will yet be right. Fashionable Female Education. On Saturday last, about noonday, a very beautiful and sweet looking young lady, about seventeen years old, was leaning her rosy cheek on her soft little hand, and looking out of a window from a small apartment in a large house in the outskirts of Troy, on the banks of the Hudson. She saw several young girls walking at full liberty among the wild plants and flowers at some distance. They frolickod and sported like so many lively, inno cent Naiads on the banks of the Eurotas. Some of them picked up the roses and stuck them in their fair ringlets?others shook the apple trees and made the fruit come down in clusters. The young maiden, Matilda?that is the name was still at the window. On a sudden she sighed, got up, clasped her hands, and a sweet pretty tear stole down her beauteous cheek, which only made her the more beautiful. The angel of love flew down from heaven, entered unseen that apartment, kissed the rsxJient tear from Matilda's cheek, and carried the treasure back to par adise to become a pearl for the Queen of Heaven in that happy realm "I will," said she musingly?" I will write him," said Matilda ; " I will positively write dear Bennett? I don't care what they say." " Do," paid the Holy Virgin. Around the little room was a naked wall, with a few common prints of the Crucifixion?the Departure into Egypt?an Atlas, Willard's Modern Geography, Ac. Ac. Matilda sat down, took a pen, put the pen in the ink, threw back her clustering ringlets, nnd began on asheetef Hurls n's finelettcrpaper, thus:? " I>r\r Mr. Bennett." She started up in amazement at what she had written. Looked round to sec that no one saw her, fastened the door?nnd putting her soft hand on her heart, found it beating like the first pulsations of a new existence. "Oh !" said she, " what am I going to do7 Write to a gentleman 7" "No harm my love," said the Holy Virgin, whis pering in her ear, and throwing the sweet girl into that state of tre intellectual magnetism, which is only the feelings of heaven itsvlf. Matilda sat down, composed Inrsc'f, took her little pen, smiled like an angel, as she is, nnd wrote thus : ? T?.?r, Oct. St, 18J7. Di ak M*.

F.xtrn branches tlie same as for boarder*. We wonder what Mr*. Willard, tlia Principnl of the (anions Troy Sominary, imagines that women were intended for. Frotn this list of studies, I should think tlist, according to her system of education, she be lieves that woman was only meant to be a philoso pher, an algrhraiat, a mathematician?any thing but a daughter, a wife, or n mother of a great nation. What a strange infatuation has seized upon the fa thers and mothers of the present age! Here is an establishment containing nearly !!0f) younu ladtea, trained up like so many automatons, in studies only fit for certain classes of the male sex, lut all the pe culiar duties, feelings, sentiments, so spproprtate to female excellence, ontirsly neglected or hardly no ticed. This system of Female F.ducation is founded on a sad and melancholy error. Woman is the mother, the instructress, the great parent of the next genera tnn. Her filings, her heart, her sentiments are en tirelv neglaeteH, and show, frivolity, and nonsense drur,,med mio her head day after day. Tim confine ment of the p? rson, the want of free air, the restraints of folly wo aome of the moot venial feature* of the preaent system of female education. Its entire mis direction, and the utter neglect of female duties and female affections in order to acquire tinsel and show, is the heaviest calamity inflicted upon us by the per verted taste of a bad age. Here are tbree hundred young girls, dragged from their mothers, sisters, bro thers and friends, to receive a polish in Day's Algebra, oijEuclid's Elements, or Kame's Criticism. Oh! fa tuity, how far wilt thou go! But enough today?I will return to this subject again. To my charming Matilda I have a word or two to say. Cheer up sweet soul. You furnish in your en dearing letter the evidence of an intellect and a hear that cannot be obliterated by fluxions and algebra.? Follow your own impulses, and Euclid's Elements will have no chance to spoil you. To borrow the language of an extraordinary and myBleriogs female who writes me something more curious rhan ad vice, occasionally, " all your impulses are good and virtuous." Look for me at the Examination. I will be there. Splendid Annual.?The "American Stationers' Company," of Boston, are the first in the field, with one of the most splendid Annuals I have ever seen from the Literary Emporium. The publication office here is 114 Fulton street. I shall notice it in a day or two, and also give a brief view of the literary system of publishing Annuals. If I knew where to send it, I would present this Annual to some of my talented female correspondents?"Emme'ine," for in stance. Mohe or the Jersey Loafeks.?Now, that the near approach of winter leads us to expect severe weather, storms and shipwrecks, it becomes our duty to call the attention of the mercantile com nunity, to the system of pilotage in and out of our harbor. The New York pilots are bound, by the laws of this State, to keep a sufficient number of good boats afloat for the business of piloting. In the building and fitting nut of these boats, the hardy and intelligent pilots of ] New York have expended over $50,000, and they al always have plenty of them out at sea, to supply all vessels with pilots, without calling in the aid of the loafing Jersey fishermen. Our New York pilots have frequently boarded vessels at sea from fifty to one hundred miles from the light house, aad brought them safe into harbor. Yet when they have latterly ap plied to the merchants, in order to carry their vessels out, the answer has been?"see you d?d first?you shouldn't pilot out my vessel if you took her out for nothing. I love opposition, and to encourage opposi tion, mean to employ none but Jcrseymen " Now it is well know that a New Yorkpilot has to serve an apprentice of from five to seven years to the business ; he is all this time under the care of experi enced and competent pilots ; he is constantly risking his life and is constantly learning important points in his profession. If he serves his apprenticeship faith fully, he is examined by competent men?if found worthy, he is installed as a pilot. How outrageous th< n to set aside such men and employ oystermen, fishermen and a set of " long shore" loafers who have hardly any breeches and who have less brains ? Why arc the loafers of New Jersey to be allowed thus to trample on the laws of the Siate of New York I New Jersey has as much right to send us harbor masters and port wardens as to furnish pilots to taKc vessels from our wharves. That they are competent, no one will be so stupid as to asBert. On the 26lh ultimo, one of these Jer sey loafers ran the barque Louisa ashore at Sandy Hook?ihc brig A'juili wnsrun ashore at llockaway by another Jersey loafer. Both of these vessels still lie in a dangerous situation. The ship Mogul was run ashore on the same day by ono of these loafers? after thumping violently she was got off and found to be making a foot and a half of water an hour. She is now lying at the wharf and still continues to leak.? And yet these fellows are preferred by a few to the New York pilots. We must have the legislature in terfere and put a stop to it, or a meeting of the insu rance offices will do better. Is it sufferable, after a ship has made a safe pas sage through so dangerous a navigation as the Gut of Canso, to be run ashore and lost in sight of port by a Jersey loafer 1 Birds of a feather flock together, and the loafing edi tors of Wall street countenance these Jersey loafers. But the day of reckoning is at hand, and this winter will bring them up all standing with a round turn. Important frsm Florida?Oceola taken.?We learn front St. Augustine via Savannah, that the mas ter spirit of the Seminole nation Oceola alias l'owell with between 70 oi 80 of his warriors, arc taken pri soners. The capture took place about a mile from Fort Peyton where they came to have a talk. Gen. Hernandez finding, from the talk, that they had no idra of emigrating from Florida, to save future blood shed, caused his troopa to surround them and take them nil prisoners. This was on the 22d August.? On the 23d ten more warriors came in to inquire for Powell and were immediately made prisoners by Maj. Ashby. American Institute.?This institute closed on Monday night, as wo have before atatcd, with an ad dress from Gen. Tallmadges in the course of which, he expressed an earnest wish that all present might use their utmost exertions to extend the manufactures of this country. He alluded to the boast of the British government when this country was a British colony, that " not even a shirt button should be made here !" and showed how futila it is in any man or set of men to attempt to impede the onward course of the human mind, or stay the progress of improve mcnt in the arts and sciences. He observed that although at the commencement of the revolution the patriots threw the tea sent from Kngland into the river and abstained from the use ofcxciseahle articles, yet the soldiers of the revolution were obliged to sleep in blankets made by their enemies. Now we made our own blankets? and if a proper protection was afforded to American manufacturers we need never import more manufactured articles than was sufficient in value to meet the balance of trade be tween Rurope Bnd the United States. After Gen. T. had concluded the premiums were announced, and here we do think great ignorance or stupidity or something worse was manifested. For exnmple a printer was appointed ajudgeof tho book binding business, and the first premium was nwaidcd to the second-best book?the best bound book be yond all comparison being that sent by Mr. Walk er. Again, a carpenter was appointed a jndge of sew ing silk-a person totally unacquainted with the bu siness was placed among the judges of sleighs. And a most heauti.nl shirt sent by Mrs. Mshoney, which had nothing that would compare with it hi the exhi bition, was overlooked, and a premium given to one which we are informed was exhibited at a former fair. Miss Jacobs'very beautiful children's clothing ob tained the medal, and so did Ryder's superior boots? both being richly deserved. But the manager musts manage better next year, or they will disgust tho greater part of thoi.\jiupporters, and bring the institution into merited contempt. For our own parts wo will support them when they de serve it. and lay on the lash wlion it is neoded. | Meeting at Brooklyn.?A riotous affair took place at Hudson's City Hotel, Brooklyn, on Monday evening last, by some persons calling themselves De mocratic Republicans. His honor, Mr. Robert Bach, presided. The meeting commenced with a general hurrah for Bush wick, Williamsburg and Hugh Far rel, and ended tumultuously in a general row, in which the argument was carried with./UtcuJ's. Cr Go to 157 Broadway and you will see DubuHVs paintings and the Indians at one and the same mo ment. r*r" Smith" will please mind his own business? wc know ours.

JTlr A correspondent informs us that the Brooklyn J Coal Company has gone to the devil. tTlr Emmeline'b last curious note will appear in a day or two with comments. What a strange crea ture she is! Who is she 7 Fires and Firemen.?There were two fires yes terday that at one time threatened to he very exten sive?but the exertions of our active and intrepid fire men soon checked the flames. One broke out at noon in Cherry close to Rosevelt in a sailor boarding house?the other about 9, in a dwelling house in At torney st. close to the corner of Grand st. Both were aoon subdued and would not be worth mentioning, were it not te show that our unparalleled firemen are ever on the alert, and the most valuable body of men in the community, notwithstanding the desperate ef forts of Joe Hoxie aud the Helen Jewett clippie to throw odium and censure upon this meritorious body of men ! But the firemen will remember the Hoxie faction at the polls ! MO.tiKY MAftKUT. Tuesday, Oct. 31?0, p. M. In spite of the secrecy with which Uie banks of this and other cities shroud their movements, we have keen the means of drugging much truth and (act to light, and of compelling these institution* to respect public opinion. In a Virgiuia pa per we find llie following Circular, being a copy of the notice to which we referred some days ago :? " New York. October 20th, 1037. Sir: At a general meeting of the officers of the Batiks of the City of New York, hehl on the 19th of this month, the Commit'ee appointed on the 1.5th of August M?t laid before the meeting the communications received from Banks in the several States, in answer to the circular of the Committee of the I8lh of August last. Whareapon, it was unanimously Retohtd, That the Banks in the several States be r< spec fully invited to uppoint dele gates to meet on the 27th dav of Novembei next, hi the city of New York, for the purpose ?| conferring on the time when spe cie payments may lie resumed with safety, and on the mea sures necessiry to effect that purpose. We pray you to communicate this letter to such other Banks in your state as vou may deem proper, and leaving the number of Delegates intirely to yourselves, we only beg leave, to urge the importance of having every Htate repre sen'ed.

Lawrence ( The objections raised by the Philadelphia Banks, induced 1 us to wait till after Congress adjourned before we called the I proposed Convention. We were indifferent as to the place ol ! meeting : a preference for Baltimore was expressed by no other Banks than those of Virginia ; and the doubt, whether I those of that rity would uniie with us, rendered it inexpe- ' dienl, in our opinion, to 'e'ect it for the seat of the Convention. To the President of the Bank of Virginia. A. O. From this circular it appears that the meeting which agreed to this met a* far hark as the I7tli of last month, and that it was composed of the officer*of the banks generally. How useful and proper, had ?uch a meeting been public and accessible to tiie conductors of the pre** ! It is a great mistake in the hank system to suppose Dial secrecy is useful or beneficial loth preservation or re-establishment of public confidence. The experience of Kngland is beginning to be quite plain .in this point. The following article which we extract from the " Joint Stock llankcm Journal," lor Sept. 16, is clear and can elusive on this head :? Statistics of Banking.?Every man who lias paid much | attention to the question ol the currency in Kngland, must he conscious that lie has not sufficient tacts to enable him to form conclusions upon many important questions. The paucity of facts is one came why we have so many theories. The recei ved opinions on this subject are, lor the most part, tuilier the result of abstract reasoning than deductions from facts. Had I we more ample Information there would lie !? am room lor specu lation, and ?? should arrive at certain knowledge, instead of being wafted about by fluctuating theories. But the science of statistics lias received, till lately, but little attention in this coun try, atsd perhaps, the ilalistics of I anking have received less attention than any otlier portion of that science. It is only sinae 1033'hot we have periodical publ.cations of the circulation of the Bank of England, and af the country bank?, and even these are imperfect. First, then, we ought 10 haver are minute locnnnts of the circulation of the Baikal England. We ought to have not merely the quarterly averages of the circulation, hut If e actual weekly amounts, in order ihnt the fluctuations caus? d by par- ! ticular events may be clearly perceived. The circulation of the London office should lie given sep arately from that of the branches. At pre???t they are included in the same amount. The amount of notes payable on demand should he given separately from the bank post Iritis drawn at seven days sight, a'"! from the drafts drawn by the branches upon the hcaii office. It it quite clear that returns made as at present ranhenf very little use as a means of forming any correct principle upon the sulyect of the currency. Let it lie supposed for instance, that the last return shows a considerable reduction in the quarterly average of notes in circulation, and I with to trace the effects of this reduction upon t lie money market of London. How can I do thisI know not whether the reduction look place at the beg inning or at the end of the quarter?whether in the issnes of the London office, or tliove of the brunches?whether in the notes pay aide an demand, or in the hunk post bills, or In the branch drafts on Lon Ion. If, then, I found my re saoninps up on Ih* supposition Clint the reduction took place at the end of the smarter, and in (lie notes payable on demand issued bv the London office, I may be led to v? ry erroneous conclusions. Until we began llie Money Reports of Ihe Herald, there was the same general ignorance of the banking system?of its pecu liar wrrkings?of the principles on which it was founded?of the facts which formed its phenomena. In the approaching convent'on, which is proposed to be held in thiv city, we trnst and hope that it may be held as open as a legislative body.? The public begin to see ihe necessity of requiring a little more light on the banking system. The suspension of specie payments was entirely caused by the ignorance and folly of the hanks thermalve*. Their rapid increase,since the year 1830, is beyond any similar phenome non lhat has taken place in the commercial world.

It is a pity that the teceipts aud exports of cott-a were a*t reported by pound, instead of by bale*. The word bale* af ford* a* no distinct idea of the value of our crop a* the weight varies almost with every year. In 1790 the bsg wa* computed at 200 pounds, as we learn front the Treasury report ol 15th of February, 1791. At the p resent day, in the Atlantic Stales, it varies from 300 to 325 pounds, while on the Mississippi and the Gulpb of, Mexico, it vibrates front 400 to 450 pounds. The hales used at Lowell in 1832 uverag-d 361 pounds. At the Custom Mouse the amount of our exports is made by pounds sworn to. Let the papers in the interior and >n the c.tum marts report the receipts in the same way and make up their statements accordingly. At the annual report made iu Liver pool for January, 1837, the average estimate w as, far Upland, 321 pounds; for New Orleans and Alabama, 402 poutds; for Sea Island, 322 pounds; fur Brail, 174 pounds; for Egyptian, 218 pounds; for E. India, 360 pounds; and lor W. India, 230 pounds. Every year the weight increases as improvements are made in compressing, for the purpose of saving expense in bag&ing, &c. We have taken steps to procure statements frout the Sou'.hern towns, prepared in pounds, and earnestly invite our brethren of price currunts and newspapers, to aid us in this cause. We propose now to lay before our readers some further valuable statistics collected with great labor and care. Here after we shall refer to litem when we conte to the philosophy of cutton growing.

From 1789 to 1799, the prices increased every year in the United States while ill England we see them vibrating from 12 to 60d. It is true Sea Island cotlon is included in this estimate, but even for Georgi a bowed, a variation was experienced of front 12 to 22,4. In IMC we felt a reverse for the firs; time. Prom this year to 1889, the production increased so tapldly that we got as low as 19 cents Tke lowest point attained in England was 8d and that was in 1803. Singularly enough we find the conditio* of English manufactures in that year extremely depressed. But let us hasten on. Continuation of Print. Years. U. S. Eng. Years. U.

They are fraught with instructive lessons.
