Weather—Poltws—Reli gion—Finance— Folly. For the past fortnight it has been raining almost incessantly, and although to-day we have had the sunshining some, still it looks very much like a la- dy who is offended with her lover, and don’t ex- actly know whether to be satisfied with his protes- tations or not, and is quite as likely to discard him as take him in tow again. So the rain is just as likely as not to descend again in torrents to-night or to-morrow. You will, before you get this, have received the published proceedings of the State convention, held here on the glorious 8th ; but those reports, as you know, always put the best side ont, This convention was a most curious affair. First and foremost, it determined that Martin Van Buren was the first choice of the Louisiana democracy. But don’t you believe that, Mr. B. Between you and I and the post, I know a thing or two, and here goes to let the cat out of the bag. Will it surprise you to learn that in the conyention—aye, and on ‘the committee appointed to draft resolutions, too, there Was a majority of Calhounites—a majority of men who believe that Van Buren can never be elected, and who preferred the chivalrous statesman of the South, John C. Calhoun? Does that surprise you? Tt is nevertheless the fact. How, then did it hap- pen? Why, by the management of the wire pul- ers in the parishes, who knew they could not send Van Buren delegates, but who contrived, by those admirable means which they, have learned s0 ef- fectually from the Kinderhook Magician, to get these high minded southerners instructed to vote for the used up man. Such wasthe mode in which Van Buren got the preference. But still there was a goodly band there who fought manfully on behalf of Calhoun, and one of his supporters, in return for an insinuation made by a Van Buren man, that they wished by trickery (oh, heavens! that from a ‘Van Buren man) to send Cathoun delegates, let out a broadside of red hot shot about party tricks and machinery, and so torth, which so astonished the wire pullers that fora moment they stood aghast, while he was pouring e most tremendous breadside into them; but quickly coming to their senses again, they felt that it would not do for them to let the south be heard so plainly, and the way they yel- led and shouted to drown his voice, was a caution to the pigs. He stood his ground manfully, and said hissay,and then sat down ina towering passion, showing plainly that he and his friends were not going to be misrepresented as well as trodden upon. ‘he gentleman who had made the insinuation then got up and explained as well as he was able for the fright he was in, that he “didn’t mean what he said,” and so that was ended. It was no use—Van, the wire pullers had determined,should be the man, and so he was by a yote of 80 which was the num- ber who voted for him, out of 160 which was the number entitled to be cast. After this, they went on to declare Calhoun to be their second choice, and then passed a string of resolutions about the bank and the tariff; saying a national bank was a national curse and Congress had no right to pass a tariff except for revenue purposes, an instructing their delegates to the National Convention to insist upon a recognition by that body of these principles. By the by, these delegates were elected in a way which I think is original. The state delegates from each congressional district congregated together, and then chose their representatives for the Nation- al Convention, those for the state at large being chosen of course by the whole convention. ‘This method was adopted because,although it has some- thing like a feature of the district principle, it yet threw the election into the hands of the wire pul- lers and secured the choice of Van Buren men as well as enabling them to instruct them to vote for that personage. The whole of these proceedings, however, showed to those who were eyewitnesses and not blinded by prejudice, that with Van for a leader, the locofocos in Louisiana will be beaten, and the vote of the State go for Henry Clay. So much for the convention. There has been a case here argued in the Commercial Court for the past fortnight, respecting a special tax imposed in the Second Monicipality, and which is alle ed to Beaiigenl, und. the courh ag, decid ee it WHI SOM ® deserve anything but blessings from the working men. The glorious uncertainty of the law, how- ever, as well as its delay, is proverbial, and if it be finished in a reasonable time it will add another proof to the many heretofore shown that wonders will never cease. The suit instituted by the War- dens of the Catholic Cathedral against Bishop Blanc, for ganas for the injury he has caused to the revenues of the church, by removing the offici- ating clergymen, is still in progress, but slowly of course. here both parties bleed freely the law- yers won’t be likely to hurry. ‘This day the cauee, or rather exceptions, which had been taken by the bishop’s counsel, were being argued in the Parish Court. No one can tell what the result will be. All the most eminent lawyers of the city are en- gaged on one side or the other. Jackson, Miss. [Correspondence of the Herald.) Jackson, Miss., Jan. 3, 1844. Legislative Proceedings—-Senators and Stucco Work—Cotton Crop and Freshets—Theatricals. If the proceedings of the Legislature will impart any interest to your readers, you shall have it in briet. Both bodies assembled on the Ist January, and at once went into election of officers. J. L. Tot ten, of Marshall, was elected Speaker of the House on the second ballot; L. L. Taylor, Clerk, without opposition ; Jesse Speight, of Lowndes, President ot Senate. There can be no doubt of McNutt’s election to, the Senate of the United States. [Jessae Speight, standing six feet six in his boots, has been elected to the United States Senate.—Ed. 7] f ‘The election of Mayor came off on the Ist, and resulted in the choice of J. P. Olden, Esq. The State House is a beautiful structure, and cer- tainly cannot be surpassed for interior beauty and elegance, short of the Capitol at Washington. _ Cotton has failed one-third in this section, owing to the heavy rains. Indeed, it has rained without cessation for weeks ; the mud is literally knee deep; worse, however, in Vicksburgh than here. Men of business in V. have to be hauled in drays to their stores. ‘The charge for conveyance of two trunks from the wharf to the hotel is $1 50. Remonstra- ting against so exorbitant a rate, the negro bluntly said, ‘*Can’t kelp it, massa, de horse here only last four months, den we turns ’’em out and buy anob- er.” The Chapman family have the theatre, and are likely to reap an excellent harvest. i.

The sleighing is beautiful on the river, and stages ply hourly be- tween this city, Hudson and Troy, on the river. It scertained that the ice between this city and ‘Troy is nearly five feetthick. ‘This is the thickest that has ever been known before, by the oldest re- sidents. i The legislative proceedings are as yet of but lit- tle moment. The most spirited debate that has taken place came on to-day in the Assembly. It was onthe application of the county of Jeflerson for a loan of money to defray the expenses of pub- lic schools and other embarrassments that this county has been in for two or three years past. Mr. Lee, of Erie county, opened the discussion in a ver, spirit manner, but in the course of his ech he flew over the history of the U: States from the time of the election of Adams to the present day, and from thence to other countries. Mr. Leeis decidedly a smart speaker, and a man of ready wit and great flow of words ; whether.to, the subject or not, he keeps up a tre- mendous talking. The constiinents of Mr. Lee have no reason to be ashamed of their representa- tive, for he does them honor. At the close of Mr L.’s speech, several gentlemen sprung to their feet to reply; but the floor was conceded to’ the gentle- man in the corner with a grey coat, Mr. Michael Hoffman, of Herkimer county, who next addrese- ed the house on the subject. Mr. H. commenced by. prosesng of the unbounded latitude given tothe debate by Mr. Lee. His remarks were very strik- ingly appropriate, and were well received by the House, for he kept them in a continued roar of laughter for a quarter of an hour before he got se- riously engaged at the work of dissection and over- throwing the argument of his opponent, which he did in a ae and would seem, most satisfac- tory manner. r. H. is the genius of the House— a person that hears him speak once will bear re- membrance of him for a long time—his manner of delivery is easy and interesting, every hearer is en- raptured and carried with him by the peculiar and extraordinary manuerin which he handles all great matters of interest to the State and nation. In the Senate nothing of interest has transpired worthy of general notice. Major Devazac was in great ecstasy yesterday, on receiving the letter from General Jackson in answer to the resolutions of the State legislature. The Major never appeared more rejoiced and happy than when he announced to the House the recep- tion of this letter from the General. ; _ Among the men of renown and distinction now in the city, I will mention General Storms, Chas.

My predictions, in a former letter, as to the in- dividuals who would receive certain appointments in yonr city, have in every particular been verified; the Senate to-day have confirmed them all, after a steady effort on the part of Senator Varian, for the last week, to send them back to the governor. MeVean is your Surrogate, Charles P. Daily your Assistant Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, T. Jefferson Smith, Judge of the Marine Court ; McMurray, late member, Master in Chancery; Lorenzo B. Shephard, Examiner in Chancery ; Samuel S. Wandell, Port Warden. You will see by this that the old hunkers in your city, and their representatives in the Senate, have been most sig- nally defeated by the Barn Burners, and that their days of power are now at an end, the certainty of which fact, has given to your delegation here much rejoicing. Varian fought like a tiger till the last moment—(Scott having purposely left some days since for your city)—and when he saw that all was gone, he made his exist from the Senate, looking the very personification of despair. Bouck is in the right track just now, but how long he is likely to keep in it will be very hard to determine, for you must know that the Governor is a lamentably Weak man, and in all matters of interest is con- trolled by the Croswellian clique. i The Assembly has already gone through with much business, but, as yeu may have noticed, of little general interest to the State. Some forty or fifty acts of incorporation for charitable bodies have been passed, but beyond this nothing hasbeen done. The question now under discussion, and which has been Sap Ing, the attention of the House for the past week, to loan out of the School Fund to two towns in Jeflerson county, some two or three thousand dollars to build a bridge, will likely be disposed of to-morrow, and decided against ranting the loan. This is as it should be, and so long as Hoffman is in the House, you will have but HaBs.fe apne Ra ABRE HI ARES PEP RSW counties, or individuals. The speech of the Admi- ral to-day upon the subject was one of his most werful efforts, and was listened to by crowded lobbies, and a well filled house, with admiration. ‘That old man is the greatest by all possible odds of any in the State, and will, one of these days, be the Governor, perhaps in 1844. _ Mr. Van Buren left this city for Kinderhook last week, and will not return to it again this winter.— He is very fleshy, much more so than when I saw him last summer, and confident in his success for the Presidency.

Flores, with thefremnant of his forces, had joined Silva a few days be- fore, but the united Generals are said to have attempted to avoid an engagement. Gomez, however, came up to them by a forced march and completely routed them. The defeated force is reported to have lost 300 killed. with 70 prisoners ; and all the spare horses and baggag with about 300 carbines, fell into the hands of the victo ‘The latter report only eight killed and ten wounded, and they entered and occupied Maldonado, which had been previously evacuated by Rivera, on the 9th of Nov.

The United States steamship Princeton, it was expect- ed, would attempt to go down to-day, on her way to Washington, and the city ice boat was employ- ed to cut away the ice around, and make a passage for her; but after proceeding as far as the Pot, the ice boat returned, and the Princeton is still at the Navy Yard, where she, no doubt, will remain some days.
