She will probably bring the sentence of O'Connell and other important news. ‘The Annexation Question. We have had John Jones—John C. Calhoun— Heary Clay—Martin Van Buren—all out on the annexation question ; the two former in favor of it, and the two latter against it, and we have now two ether distinguished men just come out with their sentiments on the subject—we mean Colonel Ben- ton, of Musouri, or “old Bullion,” as he is called— and James. Birney, the great abolition candidate for the Presidency. The course adepted by Mr. Benton, resembles very much that attributed to a certain distinguished member of the British House of Commons, whe, after a long and eloquent speech trom the famous Edmund Burke, used to get mp, and also make a speech, saying “ditto to Mr. Burke" Mr. Benton’s speech is ditto to Mr. Van Buren, and he takes almost the very same sround against immediate annexation, and princi- pally because it has been presented by Mr. Tyler end Mr. Calhoun, although he is in favor of the annexation of Texas after the next Presidential election, Mr. Beaton mixes up with his views on this subject, a sort of personal matter connected with his personal history and personal efforts in re- lation to western affairs, all of which is very good in itself, but somewhat foreign to the question un- der discussion. Thus much for Mr. Benton. Mr. James G. Binney is also out in the “liberty journals,” or abolition papers, with a long letter in relation to the same subject. Of course, his posi- tion was well enough known without any letter, as being that of an uncompromising, eternal, im- mutable, unchangeable opponent—with all his par- ty, blacks and, whites, and of all shades of color— to the anwexation of Texas, to-day, to-morrow, and every day to come. This,§ therefore, 1s the position of the “liberty party,” who expect in the Northern and free States to poll 100,000, or 150,000 votes in the next election; and this Texas question, from the peculiar position in which it is now pla- ced, and the qualified ground ‘occupied by,Clay and Van Buren, will certainly increase the aboli- tion vote, and thus far may involve the issues be- tween Clay and Van Buren in great doubt. “Who is the next customer?” Who is next to give his sentiments on the annexation? To what great man must we now look for an opinion on this subject?) We suppose all the great men in the coun- try will be out sooner or later with their senti ments; bat above them all we will look upon the opinion of General C Joseph Smith, the American Prophet, as amounting to something; and possibly we may expect an opinion also from General Tom Thumb and the Giant, by end by. So, then, come slong as fast as you please. We are to have agreat annexation meeting nex Monday, and we wantas much light‘on the matter as possible. Tue Stroven Treaty.—The Senate are about Sending for the editors of the Evening Post in or- der to institute inquiries relative to the manner in which they gut possession of that treaty. It seems also that the correspondent of the Albany Argus wrote from Washingtongstating that it would be published in New York ; and it would be well for the Senate to summon also the editor ot that jour- nal, who was thus apprised that a ‘copy had been obtained. The whole affair is involved in a grea, deal of mystery. The editors of the National In- telligencer deny that it came from their office, and we have every reason to believe these gentlemen, who are very particular and correct about all such matters. It is not probable that any respectable Senator would do it, but as the matter now stands, every one of them lies under some sort of an im- putation, which they are bound jto‘remove by some means There is a good deal of suspicion attached in this city to an individual frequenting the White House, and that the remnant of the Corporal’s guard was the instrument which brought the mes- sage and documents here and placed them on the table of the editors of the Evening Post. The in- dividual thus pointed at came on here at that very time, and was making very merry about the treaty, and the efforts which hed been made to get it. We hope to see the mystery cleared up soon. Mernopvist Episcorar Cuuren —The General Conterence of this influential section of the Chris- tian Charch began yesterday forenoon in the Green street Episcopal Church. The attendance was very full, comprising nearly all the delegates expected from the different branches of the Church through- out the United States, the British Provinces, Texas, We. &c. The last session of the Conference was held at Baltimore in 1841, at which that popular and eloquent man, the Rev. R. Newton, was pre- sent as deputy from the English Conference. After the usual formalities were concluded, and the session opened by singing‘ and prayer, the elec- tion of officers was proceeded with. The Rev ‘Tomas B. Saregant, of the New England Con- ference, was chosen Secretary ; and the Rey. J. B. Heventatine, of Troy, Assistant Secretary.— Bishop Sous ac Vresident. The appointment of variousCommi ives was nextdisposed of. ‘These deliberations occupied the afternoon of this the first day of the session. No business of great im- portance coming before the house, an adjournment took place at one o’clock. To-morrow, the busi- ness of the body will be resumed at 8} A. M., of which we will take due notice. Tue Texas Meetine has been postponed till Monday next. Great efforts willbe made to col- lect a large crowd, but we doubt whether much stir will be made after all, now that Clay, and Van Buren, and Benton are out against it. It is beliew- edthat this is merely a Tyler movement. Hence the fears of its amounting to anything. Never- theless, if the matter were properly placed before the people, we have no doubt a trementlous gather. ing would be collected. As it is, however, it is not likely that much will be done till after the Presidential election.

We give to-day another instalment of the Wi. koff correspondence, giving afcurious and orginal historical narrative of the extraordinary progress of Fanny Elsslerfin this country. This instalment comprises some letters during the year 1840, from Boston, not meluded in our former batch, and bringing down the record of her doings to the mid- dle of 1841, when, tired and worn out, she was en- deavoring to recruit her health at several of the watering places round about the country. It will be seen from this correspondence how ut- terly unworthy of credit the man Wikoff is, in the recent extraordinary statement which he published inthe New York papers, Throughout the whole of this business in connection with Fanny Elssler, uf we committed any error, it wasin permitting our good nature, our generous impulses, to lead us to do too much forthe interests ofa mere danseuse, great tobe sure, but not requiring any great effort on our part. In this correspondence it will be perceived that Wikoff alludes to some remarks which had ap- peared in the Herald relative to their movements in Havana and New Orleans, Let us state the facts. During the visit of Fanny Elssler at Havana, and whilst I was absent at Washington, a letter was received from a correspondent in Havana giving an account of her reception there both as a danseuse and as a private individual, and describing in a very flattering manner some attentions which she had received from a Spanish nobleman there. But, unfortunately, our correspondent “coupled with the name’ of Wikoff, the designation of “clerk,” or “agent,” which latter term he himself appropriated in some subsequent communications to the press of this city.

These statements it seems made their appearance in the European papers soon after the first accounts went out there andwere published on the heels ofthe great excitement which Fanny Elssler had been producing inthe United States. Some of the descriptions of her progress inthe South, furnished by this very Wikoff to the papers there, had been republished in New York, been sent to Europe, and were there commented on rather severely by the critics as be- ing very ridiculous, This naturally made those connected with the press in Europe give an histo- rical sketch of Fanny Elssler, which was very gen- erally copied in the American papers here. but we did not copy them at all. On leaving Havana, Fanny Elssler and Wikoff went to New Orleans, where the excitement raged beyond even common decency.

Several accidents and breakages must have oc- curred. In East Broadway a cart, which was overloaded, capsized a whole lot of furniture, breaking a piano, marble table, chairs—and, mel- ancholy to relate, crushing under a cage and par- rot., The ‘prattling Polly,” however, narrowly escaped, and was released from her perilous situa- tion, by the timely aid of a young lady, who nobly rushed to the rescue. In some parts nf the city the officers of justice were also engaged in the duties of their calling in taking possession of premises by summary process of law—aiding, abetting and as- sisting in the removal of foe js and chattels, and all sorts of domestic utensils. The cartmen must have had a regular harvest, and so must the cab- men, as every “proprietor” was busily engaged. To the mere sojourner, this scene must, indeed, afford food for astonishment.

The firemen wishing to show their devo- tion to the fair danseuse, began toring the hose carriage bells, to Vigo to hallo, and to make all sorts of discord- ant sounds, The goddess, not relishing such an assault upon her pretty ears, gave orders for the music to enter her hotel where she tried to listen to it, amid the huzzaing and bell ringing without. When the serenaders withdrew the firemen did the same, and there ended this little bit of a skirmish of opinion and music, Previous to all this, and shortly after Fanny’s return trom the theatre, where she had a benefit of some $3,500, and where she received two bushels of roses and a crown — upon a white sutin cushion, she took her seat at a maga ficent supper, which she gave in honor of the Press, and some of her especial friends. Viands abounded, and so did the « cling champagne. Our noble brothers of the Bee, Bulletin, Picayune and Courier, of the lute Na- tive Americ: and of the Omnibus, were perfectly at home. They hobbed and nobbed with Fanny in the most familiar style, talked French aUanglaise, and were the most jolly looking dogs ever assembled around the festive board of beauty, grace and dancing. Now and then Fanny made some odd tort of movements, with her thumb upon her nose, gyrating with her fingers, but what she meant was beyond interpretation. In the hall stood several of her devoted admirers, men who had expended their hundreds to see the goddess, but she was not canght indulging in any generalities on the occasion, and so she invited only the élite of society, per. who could help her hereafter in getting up a new edi- n of the art of humbug, as practised by her.

Some friends of Fanny Elasler were dixposed to pay her the pliment of a serenade, and some fool wished the affair ume the dignity of @ national demonstration, and thus converted a harmless piece of gallantry into of ridiculous contention. Persons in Fanny Else uation are apt to have dangling to their apron strings some malapert, officious tondies. who derive consequence from their reflected popularity, and give themselves the airs of nabobs ; she, we opine, is not exempt from this misfortune of her caste.
