Fi 'in the announcements in tin" party newspa-ji is we perceive that two very important politicalmeetings will be held to-night, each <>l them calledby tin* respective party committees, lor the purposeit approving their>everal candidates lor the Mayor-al'y ut the next election. The wings have calledliteir meetingatNational HhII,1iu Canal street, near

Broadway, to approve aud coutirm the nominationnl Mr. Jv Idea as the whig candidate lor Mayor.Th .'n.uivos" have called their meeting at theirin-w Hall,called "AmericanHall,''on the cornerolBroadway and Crand street, for the purpose of ap¬proving and confirming the re-nomination of JamesII rper as their candidate for Mayor. Both thesemeetings will be very importunt, as they involveunit is of deep interest, not only as it respects theity and its municipal concerns, but the existence

and perpetuity of the whig and " native" partiesThe democrats, otherwise called loeolocos, have

not yet nominated their candidate lor Mayor, butwetuppose many days will not elapse before healso will be in the field with the usual force andi iithusifcm. Accotding to the beet accounts, Mr.H tvemeyer will be the candidate.a gentlemanivho is represented as being perlectly competent.not a politician by trade.a very active businessman, and who would make a most ndniirable,practical Mayor.a thing which New York haccertainly much warned for several years past.

Che meeting ol the " natives" in their newHall will be a curiosity. We have had experienceof this party for lhe past year. They caine intopower under a pledge und promise of reform ofall kuids.a reduction of the taxes.clean streets-police reform.and every thing that could possiblyicnderthe city of New York a comfortable, plea-sunt, and well-regulated metropolis. Each andevery one ot these promises they have violated inthe most reckless, impudent, and unprincipledmanner. The only pledge which they have fulfil¬led is that by which they bound themselves topersevere in a blind, empty, ridiculous, and igno¬rant denunciation and hatred towards what theycall " Popery," " the Pope," and all men whoby the fiat of the Almighty have been born on theother side of a sheet of water called the Atlantic.In these blind and ignorant antipathies they havebeen steadfast and firm, but in every thing that re¬lates to the city affairs there never has been anyparty in power in New York that has exhibitedsuch recklessness, imbecility,^corruption, extrava¬gance and deceit ns this miserable " native" party.In spite of all theiruttempts at delusion and conceal¬ment, we have seen the city taxation increasedover two hundred thousand dollars beyond that im¬posed by any former administrationwe haveaecn and do now see the streets covered with a

load of filth greater than ever disgraced them atany period in the annals of New York ;.we haveseen the jobs and contracts of the corporation givento favorites and business partners, without any de¬gree of decency or respect for public opinion. Infact, duriug the period in which this new party havebeen in office, the whole time of the members olthe Common Council has been occupied princi¬pally in quarrelling about the contracts and jobsand the spoils of olfice, and in making arrange¬ments for the advancement of their own privateinterests, instead of attending to the reduction ofthe public burdens, the cleansing of the streets, orto municipal reform of any description whatever.Now, iu the face of these palpable and un¬

deniable facts.known to every one in thiacity.what can these "natives" and theirorators possibly say for themselves to-night 1Their meeting must certainly be an amusing affair.It will be most amusing to listen to their speeches,and to hear their excuses, and to note their decla¬rations. They have the simplicity and the ver-daney still to talk about " reform," in the lace ofsuch dereliction of principle and public duty asnever yet disgraced any previous party. We willsee, however, what they will do to-night, and theworld will be amused with their sayings anddoings. Possibly we may have long dissertationsabout the "Pope," the "Irish," and the " Dutch,"and various other ridiculous abstractions that havehb little to do with the affairs of the city as there" natives" have with decency and public duty. Wemay have long tirades about "foreigners," and theterrible dangers which threaten the liberties ol therepublic, in consequence of the alarming influx ofbone and sinew,wealth and talent,from the nationso| the old world. We may have most patrioticandintelligent denunciations of those who, in the Pro¬vidence of (Jod, have been born iu some other la¬titude than these enlightened men, but who .never¬theless, were brought into the world under the.< ame sky, breathe the same atmosphere, and arelighted and warmed by the same sun. But let i:a

wait end hear what they will say.With respect to the meeting of the whigs at Nn.

timid Unit, it will ulso be a very curious, amu-

sing, interesting, philosophical and droll concern.The whig party have been so much cheatedand deceived by the " natives" during thelast year, that they have determined tobe treated so no longer. The whig party will,therefore, come out to-night with all the originalforce they can muster; and though the Wall streeti/i</ne, represented by the Courier ami Enquirer,with its two Colonels, have threatened to create ariot and confusion in the meeting on the questionof abolition, it t very probable that a very simpleand ell'-ctnal course may be adopted for the pur-pose of putting an end to that attempt. Webb hasplaced htmsell in a position towards the whi r partysimilar to that which lie once occupied towards theTammany party. He has tailed during the lastfew years to rule the lug party to his heart's con¬tent, and is now determined to revenge himself bybreaking it up entirely, and turning nil the frag¬ments over to the " natives," ol whom he has be¬come a member, probably from some such mo¬tives us once induced him to support the UnitedStates Hank. It is said by himselt that lie willbe present to-night at the whig meeting, for thepurpose ol makiug a speech, and olleriug 'resolu¬tions ..gainst the adoption of abolitionism as apartof the whig creed, as is now threatened by someof the I- lJers tit Albany, and the interior of theStat". We believe the abolition party have al¬ready set up Arthur Tap, an as their candidate ;and we cana otconceive what abolition has to doexic'.ly with a city election for pirposes en¬tirely municipal.

It will bo curious, however, to note the speechesand events of this evening in the whig meeting,und we shall accordingly send a rorpi of our re¬porters, who will give a full and faithful history ofwhatever rmv be said aad done. It will be a con¬test betweeti the " nativi s" and the whigs, whothill destroy each other, in one respect, as well asa contest lor a new Mayor and Common Council.The probability is that the locofocos, will carryeverything before them; but the result of thestruggle between the whigs and "natives" will bevery important as respects the luturc.

tJg J|!| Hotels Ft k Travellers. Travellers goingSouth, «»r coining towards New York, h ive a dw|iinter. st in knowing accurately the best hotels andthe best accommodation winch may be affordedihem in the various cities on the route. TakePhiladelphia lor mstance. We have tried a num¬ber ol hotels in that city, and we must say thatone ol the most comfortable, «|uiet, and recherchtis that elegant aud commodious establishmentkept by Ilartwell, aud knowii us the "WashingtonHouse." The accommodations are extensive andadmirably contrived.the attendance prompt, andadequate.the table really excellent and the mar¬kets of Philadelphia .-.re well known to be verywell supplied.

In Baltimore, during the last live months, Bar-nurn's Hotel, which has been celebrated through¬out the country for such a length ol time, has beenrenovated aud refurnished, and gone into newhands. It is now one of the *vry best houses in theUnion, and ihe traveller who consults his owncomfort, will make it his business to stop there.

In Washington, we have Cohnan's and Brown'sand several others, but enough lias been said olthem. There is, however, one hotelat Washing¬ton that is very peculiar in its nature. We alludeto Ihe " European House," kept by a Frenchmannamed Galabran. It is conducted entirely on theFrench plan, and all the foreign.diplomatists whohave not private residences, live at this house.Calabran is quite celebrated us a chef dea cuUiiit.The. cookery is precisely iliul which you can getin the first rate hotels in Paris, or on the continent,and the house is altogether eminently worth theattention of all who may visit Washington.Musical Drama..It appears by all the accounts

that reach us Ironi New Orleans, that Borghese audthe company she carried out to that metropolis olthe 3outh-w#'sthave been extremely successful thusfar. Indeed, the papers of all descriptions are inostenthusiastic in their praises of Borghese, not onlyus a vocalist ef the first order, and purest and bastschool of Italian music, but us an actress unsur¬

passed in grace, genius und elegance. Perozzi alsoconies in lor his share of eulogy, and so do all theothers. We never had any doubt ol the triumphantsuccess of Borghese in New Orleans, although wegreatly regretted her departure from this city. Hadslit- and the other members of the trmjtc remainedhere, they would have had a more prosperous sea-

son|than the Italian Opera overbad in this city. Asa singular confirmation of this opinion, we mayrefer to the fact that the burlesque operatic com¬pany got up at Fnlmo's by Mr. Bennett, of theMuseum in Broadway, drew, lor a week, housescrowded to suffocation, and veiy respectable audi¬ences too. The manner in which these artistes,who were colored as black people, sung the beau¬tiful music of Rosini and Donizetti, was, indeed,not only amusing, but income respects very credits*hie. What has become of them we do not know.

It the meantime we trust that the establishmentof the musical drama here may not fail altogether.De Begnis has been very busy endeavoring to con¬struct a company for opening in November next,and we believe he is going on with some degree oisuccess. We trust that this project will not be for¬gotten among other tilings that daily drift to obli¬vion.

Theatrical "Movements..We understand thatDinneford, formerly manager ol the FranklinTheatre, and afterwards of the Bowery, has takenPalmo's Theatre, lor the purpose of giving repre¬sentations in legitimate drama during the time thatwill elapse from the end of this month up to No¬vember, when the Italian opera commences. Vicunderstand that he is now ready to make up a com¬

pany out of the best materials he can pick up inall our large cities, end expects to open on the 31stinst. According to all appearances, we think thismovement is likely to be a successful one. Thepublic taste ha9 been gradually separating itsel'from the cheap and nasty drama in the two shifling theatres, which has prevailed for Boine time.The respectuble portion of society want some de¬cent house to visit, where they can sec good dra¬matic representations without any admixture ofsuch materials as have marked the downward ten¬dency of the drama in the cheap and naBty theatresduring the last few years. The Park Theatre,since its re-opening, has made a very successful ad¬vance in that line.and, with Palmo's on the otherside of the Park, it is probable that a restorationmay take place in the taste of our citizens, andsomething like the olden and palmy time of thedrama in this city be revived.

Movements cf Travellers..The books o

the principal hotels yesterday morning presenterf but a very small catalogue of arivals, and few of Rny consequence, worth]of record. This may be attributed, mainly, to thicapriciousness of the weather, which has in somimeasure retarded the railroad and steamboapunctuality, as well as the protraction ol the seesion of the Senate to a late hour yesterday to cotelude the unfinished business of the late adnunis(ration.

Fortablf. Gas..There was to have been a lec¬ture on this subject last evening at the NationalHall, Canal street, but owing to the unfavorablestate of the weather, and an important meetingelsewhere, on a subject of vital importance tothose who have taken particular interest in thein itter, caused the lecture to be postponed toThurs-day evening next. A lew illustrations of the sub¬ject were given, whereby it was stated that a pa¬ving of about 47i per cent would be obtained byits use over that at present supplied; at the sametime affording a better, clearer and safer light..This will be well worthy of the attention of theovercharged residents of this city, and there canhe no valid reason why the matter cannot be aswell carried out here as in England and on theContinent of Europe.Advices from tub Sandwich Iki.ands, via

Tampico..We have received The Friend, pub-liplied ut Honolulu, of tbe Mth of November..There is nothing particularly new in this paper;it contains, however, n long review of the corns-pondence bet«vecnHis Hawaiian Majesty's Secre¬tary ol State and the United Slates' Commissioner,in the case ol John Wiley, nn American citizen,charged with a rape on a native girl Wiley whs

convicted and fined $'50. From this he appealed.The review is curious and voluminous, and is in¬teresting, because the Secretary of State is also anAmerican named Judtf, once a young lawyer inthis section.and the case shows what progress theSandwich Islanders have made in civilization..We may publish a portion of the review to-mor¬row.

Affairs at Iciiauok.The ship Shakspeare,Cant. Chester, arrived yeetcrday from Jclmboe,with a full cargo.eltven hundred tons of Guano.She left that Island on the 18th of January, andreports three or four hundred vessels wait¬ing there for cargoes of this new and valuable ag¬ricultural article. It is stated by Capt. Chesterthat a great many vessels foundered whilst he was

loading, there being no harbor for them to lay in ;they were exposed to the whole force of everygale and every heavy sea. Vessels daily left tos-ek cargoes elsewhere, Ichaboe having been nearly cleaned by those who have already visited theIsland.Late from Havana..The packet ship Norma,

Captain Birton, has arrived from Havana withadvices to the ti ll msf. inclusive.There is no political news of importance,in Havana, produce was very scarce and high.

There were no freights of any kiad for Americanve-iels; and there was no fruit in the market.

It the people role "license," then the boaids ot ex¬cise, now established, are to possess the. same powersthey now possess, either to grant or retuse licenses leithe retail of intoxicating liquors, to such persons as mayhave the nece sary conveniences for travellers in otherwords, tavern license*. No giocers' licenses are to beallowed. No pay is to bo received for such licensesThis we couceive to be the inact valuable feature in tb«bill it separates this great moral question from all con¬nection with filthy luce, and every tax-puyer voting for"license" will have the satisfaction of knowing that llhis s do prevails, no " price of blood" is to bethiownintothe public coders.
