Fanny Elssicr in the United States. _ We republish in our double #reet to-day, the se- ries of letters called the “Wixorr Connespon- DENCE,” giving a very curious and original descrip- tion of the career of Fanny Elster in this country during the years 1810—41—"42. We have published different portions of this correspondence, at brief intervals during the lust fortnight, but we now re- publish the whole in one mass for the purpose of presenting to cur readers, the public, and the newspaper press of this city, and country the evidence which we some time ago promised them, tending to prove the gross false- hood and atrecious mendacity of the charges pub- lished in several of the papers of this city, under the name of one Henry Wikoff. It is needless for us to go now into any further exposition of the merits of the controversy, or to say another word in defence otf our conduct throughout the whole aflair. For many years past our cotemporaries in this city and elsewhere, have been in the habit of making the most baseless charges against the pro- prietor and editor of this paper, accusing him of Musica. Crrricism.—We are occasionally very much amused with the musical criticisms which appéar in the columns of some of our cetempora- ries We have frequently noticed some curious things said in the Courier & Enquircr—some very excellent remarks in the yibune—but the drollest remarks of all are sometimes found in that very staid, very quiet, and very respectable paper called the True Sun. We have frequently referred to its musical ¢:itigws, and to the grumbling sort of dis- position which it expresses towards certain things. In the paper of Monday we find the following no- tice of Palmo’s Opera House :— The Opera at Palmo’s is in a languishing state, and there ia said to be still considerable squabbling aboat the sixpences. The hired puffera blow the bellows harder ever, but each fresh whit seems te give the concern downward tendency.” We don’t wonder at it.

"An ounce of civet, good apnthecary !” Palmo’s opera in a “languishing state”! No such thing at all. Since the commencement of this opera it has been better supported than any Italian opera ever was in this city, and we have seen them all, since the first introduction of Italian qepear from all accounts reaching us from Wash. | We have little room forf any extended remarks dagion, that a most extraordinary state of confusion | 0" the message of Mr. Harper.

M. Noah, who published the Evening Star, and who could not for the life of him comprehend how asingle individual,without the leastaid from banks or wea!- thy capitalists, but by the single exercise of his own talents and industry,in a dignified and honorable pur- suit, create such an extensive and influential public journal as the New York Herald. Without the slight- est foundation, in fact—without the shadow of evi- dence, that man Noah, and ail those in confederacy with him, from that time till the present, have been endeavoring to Impress on the public mind, the idea we were in the habit of making these extortions on the public. When we asked for evidence, no reply was made. When we called for proof, our calumniators answered only by fresh abuse. No evidence was offered—no proof was attempted—it was all surmise, and conjecture, and calumny. At last, a creature came forward who had served in the capacity of ‘‘agent” to Fanny Elssler, the danseuse, in her career in this country, and who, in that capacity became possessed of certain ordi- nary facts connected with her, and with this new witness, our cotemporaries, to whom we have al- luded, revived the old exploded calamny—greedily seized upon and paraded before their readers the infameus falsehoods of this ‘‘agent’” of the cele. brated; danseuse, und shrieked ont, in the old style, that we were guilty of ‘extorting black mail from Fanny Elssler.

But take the Italian company now in this city, ay a whole, and it must be admitted to be a very excellent and efficient one—one adinirably fitted to begin the permanent establishment of such a refined amusement in New York. And we will venture to say that the orchestra cannot be surpass ed in any country, nor can its leader—Rapetti. The opera ‘‘in a languishing state?” It never has been supported as it has been during the pre- sent season. Not only with respect to numbers, but in respectability, the houses have afforded the best possible evidence of the popularity of the opera, and of the bigh favor which it receives from the most influential classes in this city. It is very true, that behind the scenes, there are occasionally squabbles, and sometimes they get to the ears ef the public. But strange as it may seem, it is yet true, that the more those vocalists quarrel, the better they sing. Every little sq1abble is followed by a greater and more delightful exhibition on th® stage, of the feeling, spirit, and skill of the artist. ‘These little broils appear to produce the same effect as a fresh infusion of the galvanic fluid.

Another very important subject in agitation is undoubtedly the Texas question. But according to all appearances, this question, although it may be used as a weapon by Mr. Tyler and others to de- feat the nonvination of Mr. Van Buren at the Balti- more Convention, it does not seem possible in the present aspect of affairs in this country that annexa- tion could be effected until after the next Presiden- taal election.’ This Texas qnestion, however, in the jaaada of Mr. Tyler has driven the democracy in the [louse to a sort of settlement of the Tariff ques- faon; ?and it will probably disorganize them so much in the Baltimore Convention, and agitate them to so great a degree throughout the country, as to render the election of the nominee of that conven- twon, whoever he may be, a matter of great doubt and hazard. Many of the members of the demo- oratic party believe thatthey could unite all their elements on some new candidate, and that it iscer- éain that a new one will be nominated, Cass, or SMewart, or some other new name ; but it is very doubtful,indeed, whether in the present aspect of the disordered affuire, and in view of the heart burn- ings, and violence, and abuse, which prevail amidst the democratic party, whether under any circum- mtantes they will be able to present such a force as will overcome the great union and determination of tte whig party to elect Mr. Clay. If then, Mr. Clay, as i¢ now appears so likely, comes into power, what ace we to expect from his administration? Let us took at it. The present condition of the country is highly prosperous.f We are in the commencement of a new period of great prosperity and speculation. We have got through me terrible effects of the re- vulsion of 1537 and 1839, and we are just begin- wing to realize the fortunate results that always will spring from a numerous and industrious people, placed upon a boundless, rich and fertile country. very thing is improving. The crops are in- oreasing year after year. Prices are rising. The domestic trade is doubling and trebling itself every short period of years. The foreign trade is getting much better. The movements in favor of com- mercial, agricultural, and manufacturing industry 1a this country, are becoming almost enthusiastic. 1a this state of brilliant hope every man is grasping ata fortune at the end of the next week ; and ex- pects to be a millionaire at the end of the next year. How will all this operate on Mr. Clay’s election? [is party promises to give us a new Na- Gonal Bank —to distribute the land reveanes to the States—to preserve the present tariff and revenue, which is increasing so much, and also promises a cettain amount of internal improvements, without being so vitallyf{committed against the annexation of Texas as some would imply. Without entering ito the morality of this policy, or any por- tons of it, or its indirect effect on society, we must adinit that every one would expect to be benefitted in some degree by the adoption of these measures. The creation of a National Bank with 4a immense capital of fifty millions, would be re- garded by many as holding out the most alluring metropolis, and the pervading influenee of reason, temperance, honor, integrity and virtue not only in this city, bat throughout the whole frame-work of society. ImMrorTaNt vRom Joun Jonxs oy WasmxGtox.— John Jones, the official editor of Hiekory Ne. 2, without his spurs, has the'following important para- graphs :— Two Monr Tarariks.—The President transmitted to the Senate to day two Treaties, vir: Treaty with the King of Wurtenburg—Treaty with the Grand Duteby of Hesse. We confidently expect the Oregon Treaty will be nego- tinted before John Tyler's present term expires. If such should be the fact, we are inclined to think an eleventh hour Texas candidate will be placed in somewhat of an awkward position before the campaign shall elose. 2G= It is the opinion of sagacious men in Washington that the Treaty of Annexation will be eonfirmed by the Senate.

The par- agraph from the Sun is in perfect keeping with the operations in the news line of that establishment. Whenever we run an express, Beach ascertains abont the time we intend issuing the Extra Heralds, and then announces on his bulletins that his special express has arrived, and that he will issue an Extra at a etated trme—an hour or 60 after ours are out. All his expresses are pure, unadulterated gammon, and run entirely on the pigeon system. Isn't this a little too strong ?—New TRAVELLING To Evrore.—The Yorkshire, Bai- ley, for Liverpool, and the Silvie de Grasse, Thomp- son, for Havre, will snil to-morrow.

Arrests of free negroes still continued. There have been no executions, We should think jnopes, and thousands would expect to have their fortunes improved by the distribution ef the land revenues tojthe States, whereby their stocks would be veauscitated. All would feel, more or less, the effect of these movements in the general course of business. These hopes and inducements and speculations, therefore, of the great mass of the industrious classes of the country, who from their numerical majority, will probably increase and swell the tide im favor of Mr. Clay and his measures, without inereasing the noise, the buffoonry, the humbog that have on former occasions attended electioneering, and which have been threatened in the present contest." We do believe that alter all, the present edeetion will be conducted with more deceney —more philosophical calmness—more discretion— amd morefprudence than any one that has preceded it, and we are disposed to think that men will de- aide according totheirinterest, rather than accord. ing to their passions or prejudices, With those views we come to the very obvious conclusion that the present tariff in this country is settled for many years to come—that the disorgan- mation and ruptures amongst the democratic party will tend to give Mr. Clay the best and only chanve of election to the Presidency which he ever that Cuba was not in the beet and most peaceable condition.

The sales were not very large. The ups and downs in the stock market prevent movements more curious than important, The great fluctnations in fancy stocks are of very little conse- quence. The advances resemble bets, and they have ss little influence on the markets as the same excitement in political matters. A purty of politicians around Tammany Hall, betting upon the suecess of any candidate for office, have Just about as much effect on the movements of trade as the Auctuations of fancy stocks in Wall street State stocks have—thronghout the speculations that have been £0 great in fancies—remained firm and steady. They have not varied more than two or three percent, exeept Illi- nois, which hen been used more for speculation than ethers. A letter, published some time since, from the commissioner of Illinois, now abroad, in relation to the negociations going on in London regarding loan, has ‘bven genera!ly condemned as having a tendency to de- preciato that stock in this market, without there existing any real canse fora decline.

The estimated unearned profits of the contractors amonnt toa little more than one third of the total unfunded debt. The passage of an act authorising a loan of $1,200,000, payable in eighteen years, was asked. It was proposed to provide for the payment of this loan by the establixh- ment of a sinking fund from the surplus revenue from the canals of the State, and the unnual payment of the interest tobe secured by the levy of 9; ax of one-tenth of a mill on all property taxable, for State purposes. The onty obstructions toa Jaw of this nature, is the provisions of tie actof March 29th, 1442, which levies a mill tex. on all taxable property. By the act of March 29, 1542, that part of the mill tex levied in aid of the general fund, ceases whenever the di- rect revenues of that fand shall, alter paying the current expenses of the gevernment, be equal to the payment, in each year, towards the general fnnd debt, of so much as will complete the payment of that debt in twenty-two and ahalt years from the patsage of the act. That part of the mill tax still continues. There is still a neoessity for the income it produces, and so long as that tax iv enforced; 60 long as a dollar is collected; a single cent of the canal revenues cannot legally be appropriated to any other pur pose than thet laid down in the act of March, 1812. — Without the half mill tox laid by the act anove referred to, for canal purposes, the ordinary revenues of the canal do not reach the annual amount ¢tated for the ex- tinguishment of the canal debt in twenty-two and ahalf years. The mill tax which was levied to redeem and rus- tain the credit of the State, falls upon those not bene filted, as well as those benefitted by our publie works. ‘The act levying that tax should, consequently, be darned. out te the letter. So long asthe credit of tha State re- quires the collection of this tax, so long will it he willing- ly submitted to, but any attempt on the part of future e+ gislatures to appropriate the revenues of the canals other- wise than now Jaid down, would be unjust and destruce tive to public faith.
