Horace Greeley, at the whig meeting last night, gave in his adhesion to Gen. Taylor, declaring that he should vote for him, as the best way to defeat Gen. Cass.

The brave sailor Jerome, who so heroically rescued a number of persons from the burning wreck of the Ocean Monarch, is to be donated the freedom of the city (what is it?) in a gold box, to-morrow night, at the sailor's church in Roosevelt street. Mr. Banvard departed yesterday for Europe, with his panoramas of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio rivers. Of course, he will make a good "spec" there, in all probability. His success has given rise to a host of imitators. We have panoramic views, now, of nearly all the principal rivers of the country. We have even on exhibition here pictures of matters and things as they were before the Deluge—doubtless a very correct representation. Nothing of importance was done yesterday, at the Episcopal Convention; it only organized—electing Dr. Creighton of Tarrytown, as President, and Rev. Mr. Haight, Secretary. One of the disturbing questions to come before these potent, grave and reverend signors, is that of the admission, on equal terms with whites, of congregations of colored churches. That is one branch of the great question. Of course it is very important—to the parties concerned.

I hear in the city this morning of the death of Michael Hoffman, Naval officer, for this city; he was aged sixty years, and died last night at his residence in Pacific street, Brooklyn. Mr. Hoffman was a well-known politician of the Radical stamp, and had filled offices in the Legislature and other positions. He was much beloved by the Silas Wright democracy, who were in daily expectation of hearing of his removal by the National Executive, at Washington. The removal, however, has been by a more solemn power, and more potent mandate. He is to be taken this afternoon to Herkimer county, his former residence, for burial.

MANHATTAN.

P.S..Sorry are "some folks" here to see a telegraphic announcement from your city that that "Buffalo Hunt" has been nipped in the bud. What and how is it? That miserable Mexico must crumble from her present organization, and gradually merge in the United States, there is no doubt. But all in good time.
