Important from Albany—Triumph of thoj Regency. We reecived last night very interesting and im- portant intell.gence from Albany. In the nomina- tions for the different State'offices, the good, old, amiable, practical, intangible, popular power, called the “Albany Regency,” have suceeeded against the ‘‘ New Lights,” and “ Small Lights,” im the first movement of the democratic party ou as- suming power. Messrs. Flagg and Young—old fashioned democrats, head the nomination, and Jonathan D. Stevenson takes the rear guard. From these strong symptoms, we expect the pre- sent logislature will make thorough work with the swhig policy of the last four years. It is certainly high'y important that they should restore the public credit, relorm the free banke, introduce economy in public expenditures, and abeve all, give us a direct bate the vote was taken on the ei and decided in the affirmative, ayes 17, noes , A Larnigg pen Png from the Secreta- ry of the egents ity, in forming that the office of ieee filed Sy: Wash: ington Irving, become vacant. Licentionusnces of the Press—A Moral War against Daniel Webster, We hear a great many complain of the licentioes- ares and immorality of the press, but perhaps one of the moet remarkable specimens of the demoraliza- tion of this great institution of modera times and government, has just been set ia motion by set ef politicians to destroy the leader of another.= Every body knows that immediately after the election of General Harrison, there was a certain clique of unscrupulous peliticinns, secretly organi- zed all over the country, for the purpose of control- ling the President, and of shaping future events to their liking. When it began to be publicly known, in the winter of 1840, ’41, that Mr. Webster woald Probably be offered the State Department by Ge- neral Harrison, this self ame clique, through their organs, the Courier & Enquirer, &c., began to talk of the propriety of Mr. W.’s refusing the: appoint- meat. Mr. Wt ote.’s taking office L loek- ed upon with jealousy, and denounced in private by the same elique. Things went forward, in the course of time, and when the ceon-skim cabinet exploded under the influence of the two bank vetoes, the same clique endeavored to cause Mr. Webster also to let go, come dows from the tree, and give him- self up, as the coon did when Capt. John Scott took aim. But Mr. Webster was ne coon, and kept his hold up to this day. In consequence of this tenacity of purpose, the same clique of politicians have hooks out in a new quarter, and have begun a moral war en the great statesman, the first gun of which is the following, trom the Louisville Journal. spectable gentleman, from W: city, has told us an anecdote of Mr. Webster, certainly authentic, which proves that, although he is called ‘the god-like,” he is alte as mertal asthe rest ofus. Shall we tellit, reader? Setee wenkattan, & nigh respectable young man me weeks a from Penwesy Toate Wwho Leld'a suterdinate eifice under Mr. Webster, in the Departmentof State, end who had his young end beautiful wife with him at Washington, came to the conclusion, after consulting with her, that his very scanty income was insufficient for their main- tenance. They knew not what to do; but thinking that woman's appeal might avail with the Secretary of Stat it was agreed that the wife should cell upon Nim, an solicit a more lucrative appointment for her husband. She accordingly called on him at the Department, and made known her business in languag: modest and simple eloquence ; concluding with the request that some clerkship might be given to her husband, in which she, by Deniaduna as a trenscriber, might add te his income. The burly. Secretary gezed upon the pretty face of the 'pleader, and gloated upon her voluptuous vail road between New York and Albany to compete | form, till Satan fairly took possession of him. “Madam,” wath Boston.

Thereupon, the Secretary stepped into the next room, and the lady followed . He paused not there, but passed toe room, and the lady, though a little surprised, followed him. Still he stopped not, but stalked into a fourth room, and the Jady,silent and wondering, followed him. Then came thedevelop- ment of the mystery. The Secretary closed the door, and threw his brawny arms around the lady’s waist, ex- claiming, “ This, my deor, is one of the prerogatives ali the indexendent and honest portion of the people, who went a good and.economical government, but care nothing for any party or faction as such.— > Me whigs seem, asa purty, in Washingtom, and elsewhere, to poseess the power of self destruction im ar eminent degree.

It appears that another Celestial city has been knocked into a cocked hat by the guns of Eugland Hingpo, the greatest commercial place in all China, was captured after a brief fight. This city is situa- ted opposite the Island of Chusan, and to the north of Amoy. It had been determined by Sir Henry Pottinguer to-go into winter quarters, after the taking of Ning- po. This will give the Emperor time to reflect — In the spring, nearly the whole British force will commence operations further to the north and pene- trate toPekin. We do not believe his Celestial Ma- jesty will make any concession of consequence till that is done. An edict had been received from the Emperor, or- dering the English to be treated with respect. This was after the capture of Amoy, and shows the very amiable feelings of his majesty. With the exception of the affair at Ningpo, every thing appeared to be in the same state as whea the Probussailed. It is said that the Mandarins, tokeep the Chinese soldiers from running, when the attack was made on Amoy, chained them to their guns. Then, when the English landed, the long qued Mandazins took to their heels, and left the poor soldiers at the mercy of theenemy. One Mandarin, just before the attack, seat a flag of truce toan English captain, stationed opposite his fort, and desired to make an agveement that neither should use balls, but to blaze away at each other with powder. He said it would please the Emperor just as much as if balls were fired. All was quiet at Amoy. There was a report when the Valparaiso sailed of the loss of the armed steamer Madagascar, on the east coast, and that the fleet_had suffered considera- bly from heavy gales. Fears were entertained at Macao that the Nerbad- da, transport, with one hundred and seventeen souls on board, hed been Jost. A boat from her, with thirty-three souls, chiefly soldiers, had been picked up; they reported leaving the Nerbudda in a sinking state, having driven overa large reef off the north end of Formoea. The boat had been eight days at sea when picked up. The Nimrod sloop of war had been sent in search of the Nerbudde. ‘Tite mate and one of the hands of a British smug- gler, were decoyed on shore near Churan and mur- dered by the mandarins, in consequence of which the crews of several of the smuggling veezels landed and with the assistance of the crew of H. Ms steamer Phlegethon, burned a village and killed all the Chinese they could fiad. There had been a good deal of sicknesa in the settlement at Macao, and many inhabiten‘s and Chinese had fallen victims 4o a kind of influenza which was travelling about.

At the same time it’ is said that Lin is about to be recalled from banishment and again re. ceived into Imperial favor. All this looks n if the Peking government intended very soon to come to terms. In addition to this we hear that a high mandarin, late Vi of the Province of Hook- wang, has arrived in Canton to take chief command over the troops at Canton, with whom it insuid he intends very ly to reoccupy the position at the ie. It is said that thie new Commander whoi about to play a conspicuous pat in the war, had for some cause or other incurred the Imperial dispiea- sure, and was about to be sent to the cold count to keep Lin and Tang company, but he appeased his rawher’s wrath by a promise, that if the command were given him, he would soon rid the Empire of Ty ae. protnioe- Wo han fot th avoided this ise he has for the present avoi ntebenenr, but it seems very doubtfal that he will Pe'able to keepit.

The Major visited the White House, and shook hands with Captain Tyler, and, for any thing that we know to the contrary, the following conversa- tion took place between the Captain and the Major: Mason Noan.—I have seen it siated in some of the papers, hostile to your administration of affaire, that there was a difference of opinion between yourself and Mr. Webster, and he would probably 00n leave the Cabinet. Parerpext.—It is true, Major, that a difference of opinion on some subjecta, between myself and the Secretary ef State does exist; but I trust that I shall not, in consequence of this difference of opi- nion, be deprived of his valuable services in the | Part Cabinet. Mason.—If my request is not an improper one, Captain, I should like exceedingly well to know the important subjects on which you differ in opinion. Paxsipent.—Oh, your request is by no means.im- proper; I will answer you honestly and frankly. The most important subject on which we differ, aad whieh division of sentiment, as I said before, in my inion will not cause a dissolution of the Cabinet, :—Mr. Webster is fend of making chowder ; for my own part, I prefer to open oysters! Mason.—I am very happy it is no worse, Captain. There certainly is a differenee between chowder and oysters, on high constitutional grounds, but it ought not to break up, the cabinet, but I ain very positive that seme sueh important difference in the construction of the constitation on’ chowder and oysters, has entirely broken up the whig party in Congress. “T think g0 too,” replied Captain Tyler.
