There appears to have been a gradual advance to the middle of November, since which there has been a slight falling of. The importa- tions and exportations, for the year about closing, have been very heavy ; we should estimate the value of the imports at $130,000,000, and the exports at $120,000,000, leaving a balance against us of about $10,000,000. This is a more liberal estimate than we have heretofore made but we have come to this conclusion in the following manner :— The value ef the foreign Importations into the port of New York for eleven months of 1844, amounted to $72 084, 69-For the year the value will not vary much from $75,000,000. This leaves only $55,000,000 as the value of the importation into every other port in the Unioa, to make up the $130,000,000 estimated. As regards the exports for the calendar year 1844, they will not vary much from the fiscal year ending June 30,1844 Each year would take in one crop, and the cotton and other crops of this fall exported, would effect the value export ed last fall—we therefore have only added twelve millions tothe value of the exports of the fiscal year to make up the amount estimated forthe calendar year. Should these estimates prove correct, the continued high rates for ex- change would be accounted sor. Domestic exchanges are very inactive. There is hardly enough doing to enable us to give quotations otherwise than nominal. Domusric Excuancr, Dec, 90, 184.

The value of broken bank money can be known by the per cent given for it by the brokers. It will be seen that the issues of good banks, in active operation, do not go heyond two percent discount. There is a steady demand for specie for shipment, and the rates given above are now current in this market. The experts of the precious metals, from this port to foreign countries, for 1844, will exceed the imports about five millions of dollars. We annex a table showing the quantity of merchandise transported on the canal east and west from Pittsburg, Pa., for the year ending November 30, 1944 :— Penns’ Import ¥ Goods, Ibtre. «2k sf ‘These tables show the transportation of an immense quantity of merchandise of all descriptions, and yet, in fact, it is merely thecommerce of one port, Pittsburg, Pa. That port being situated nearly atthe western ex. tremity of the State, the sgricultural products shipped on the canal, at that place, must be derived principally from the Westera States, and nearly oll the merchandise re. ceived at that place from the East, must be intended for the Western. The agricultural products of the State of Pennsylvania strike the canal this side of Pittsburg, and Are not, consequently, included in the above table. We annex a statement showing the condition of the ‘Bank of Virginia and branches on the Ist of December, 1843 and 1844. The expansion within that time has been very trifling, when wetake into consideration the large movement of the bank and branches, Bank or Vinainta anv Brancues.

We have noticed, in reports from nearly every bank, that a gradual expansion is geing on through- out the country, and in time it must reach an extent equal to, and perhaps greater than before experienced, until at length the expantion of business keeping pace with the banks, will lead to speculations, and, without doubt, ‘to another explosion, We have not seen in any of the bank reports, from any one section, a con- traction sufficient to off-set an expansion in snother quarter, but a simultaneous increase in all the de- partments appears to be the prevailing movement.— ‘This is to be regretted on account of the effect on trade A natural healthy increase of business cannot be so ra- pid asthe increased movements of the banks would indi- cate—and as the banks create, by an over expansion, an fuda'ed, illigitimate state of trade, it is not ut on the contrary, is attended with many dangers. Every season must add to the banking capital of the country, and every dollar increase in capital adds hundreds tothe discounts. Virginia is the only State in the Union in which there has, throughout, been a steady increase in banking capit: Amidst oll revulsions and ¢xplosions, the banking capital of that State has increased from oe to two per cent every year since 1834 We Jook foran in- Gation in our banking systems in about three years,which will cause a great deal of mischief.

Washington. (Correspondence of the Herald } Wasuineron, Dec. 19, 1844. President’s Message on Mexican Affairs—New Plans for Annex tion—Sub Treasury Movement —Reduction of Postage—Oregon in the Senate. The Message of President Tyler, accompanying the conclusion of the correspondence with Mexico, was submitted to Congress to-day, and read with much interest. It contains a review of past movements of the administ arguments in favor of immediate annexation. ion, with additional in the House, as you will perceive, another, and yet another plan for annexation has been proposed. (send you the resolutions submitted by Mr. Wel- ler of Ohio, which appear to meet with more con- currence by members than the joint resolutions of C. J. Ingersoll. The last resolution but one, you will perceive, refers the question of boundary division of the territory to commnussioners, to be selected at a future day. of slavery at the presentcrisis, which would govern or control the vote of many of the members as pre- sented in the resolutions offered by Mr. Ingersoll. voids the question The Committee on Post Roads reported a bill in favor of reduction of postage, &c., a synopsis of which I send ycu in regular proceedings. f ‘The Oregon question came up in the Senate this morning F f yi The resolutions relative to the depositery of the public moneys, introduced by Senatur Niles, of Connecticut, in the Senate, on jedneeney e without doubt emanations trom the mind o Sena- tor Benton, and may be viewed as one of the at ping stones tewards the re-organization of a Sub- Treasury. This measure will never meet the sancuon of President Polk, as it is well known that Tennesree has never been its advocate. Col. Nich- olson, the gentleman who recently addressed Mr. Polk at Nashville, who will remember, openly took the stump in favor of the “exchequer” mea- sure, before the election in Tennessee, and no doubt such a course had received the approbation of Mr. Polk. Any attempt to introduce measures of this character, in order to rally the old Van Bu- ren force under Mr. Benton will be abortive. Nothing of interest will transpire here until after New Years. TWENTY-KIGHTH CONGRESS. SECOND SESSION. In Senate. Wasuincron, Tuurspay, December 19, 1844. The Cuair laid before the Senate a communica- tion from the Navy Department, covering a state- ment of the receipts aud expenditures of the Navy Pension fund, for the last fiscal year. 3 Mr. Woopzrincs from the Land Committee, re- turned the bill granting lands to the State of i- ana the better to enable her to complete to the Ohio River the Wabash and Erie Canal, with a recommenda‘ion that it pass, and a report in ite fa- vor, which was ordered to be printed. Mr. Bayarp from the Naval Committee, on a petition of a certain widow, reported a bill renew- ing certain Naval pensions for five years. THE REVENUE LAWS. i. Mr. Evans submitted two resolutions of inquiry of the Secretary of the Treasury, in reference to the amount of goods imported and refunded since the last session of Congrese—calling for copies of all circulars of the Department on the subject ; and for information whether any applications have been made for remission of penalties incurred; and if so, by whom. They lie over. IRON STEAMERS. _ . Mr. Hunrinaton offered a resolution calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury to inform the Senate what number of iron steam ‘revenue cutters have been ordered to be built, and at what place or places they are building, what their cost, and whether -any trial hus been made between any one of them, and any ef the cutters hitherto in use, to ascer- tain their comparative epeed—which lies over. MAP OF TEXAS. _ s Mr. Asuizy offered a resolution, which was adopted, directing the execution for the use of the Senate, of 5000 copies of the map ot Texas, ordered at the last session, providing the whole cost of the same shall not exceed 20 cents per copy. RAILROAD TRON. Mr. Bucnanan pietented a memorial trom the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, ask- ing a remission of duties upon the railroad iron they have imported the current year. Referred. _ OLD COPPER CALLED FOR. On motion ot Mr. Fanrietp, it was resolved that all the oid metallic plates in the hands of the public engrayers,be called jor, and deposited for safe keeping in the Library of Congress. There is a great deal of such old metal in the hands of en- gravers of maps, Sc., in Washington. REVENUK OFFICERS. Mr. Huntineton reported two bills—Ist to regu- late the appointments und promotions of officers of the United States Revenue Marine. 2d, To regu- late the pay and appointments of engineers and assistant engineersin the United States Revenue Service. Read and referred. MEXICO—TEXAS—THE UNITED STATES.—WaR! War! war! Captain Waccamay, the private Secretary pro tem of the Executive, here brought in a message trem the President of the United States, inrelation to the aspect of affairs existing between the United States on the one part, and Texas, but more cularly Mexico on the other part, with the Jatest ministerial correspondence between the official authorities in the controversy, accompanying. The message of the President was read, a very spirited and warlike complaint against the contin, the obstinancy, the barbarity, and the perfidy of Mex co, During the reading through, the deepest at- tention prevailed, occasional exclamations of war were heard in the galleries above, and the Senate below. After the reading, the Messuge and ac- company ing papers were referred to the Committee oa Foreign Relations, and were ordered to be printed. (For Message, see another column.) PEA PATCH The bill for settling the ttle, by arbitration, of the Pea Paich Island in the River Delaware, (on which there is a United States fortitication,) was passed. Arbitration reterred to Chief Justice Taney. ANOTHER HOLIDAY. ‘ Mr. Foster, of Tennessee, moved, out of cour- tesy to another Senator, (Mr. Evans) that when the Senate adjourn,it adjourn over to Monday next. Agreed to. FOREIGN PAUPERS. _ 4 Mr. Jonnson introduced a resolution making in- quiry of the Secretary of State in reference to the admission of foreign paupers into the United Stater mits for copies of correspondence with our Ce: suls abroad, upon the subject, which lies over TEXAS. Mr. Pux.rs’ resolution for copies of the Treaties subsisting between Texas and other nations, was adopted. ORRGON. : Mr. Artcuison introduced a bill for organizin, the government of the Territory of Oregon, ani for other purposes, and moved its reterence to a Select Committee. 5 ‘ a Axrcugr—Will the Chair state the title of the il? ‘The Cuarr explained the title and the motion of reference. be ‘ Mr. Atcninson withdrew his motion of refer- ence, and moved to substitute the Committee on Territories A é Mr. Arcuer moved the Committee of Foreign Relations, and stated that he anticipated, before the expiration of the session, some settlement of this question by another tribunal and a report of ita conclusions to the Senate. He, therefore, at ed against any interference as proposed by the senator from Missouri, (Mr. Atchison,) on the part of the Senate. It was entirely inconsistent in the present state of aflairs. Mr. ArtcHison opposed the reference to Mr. Ar- cher. There was nothing in the bill properly com- ing within the cognizance of the Committee on Fo- reign Affairs. Jt proposed to establish military poste—to donate lands—to establish a form of go- vernment, &c., over the Territory of Oregon. Mr. Arcner rejoined, that the question now be- fore the country was not the establishment of a government, as proposed in the bill, it was a ques- tion of jurisdiction—a question of title—a question whether we had any territory over which to e blish a territorial government as proposed. Mr. Archer r: iterated that this question was now pend- ing in negotiation, and did not doubt that during the present session an arrangement would be effect- ed. After the close of the negotiations it would be the proper time the action of Congress; but he fow protested against any distinct action on the art of the Senate. The Committee on Foreign Relations, if the bill were referred to it, would not be remiss in action upon it, but would report it back as soon as they could consider the subject. Mr. Bacny contended that the committee on Territories was the proper committee. Mr. Benton adverted to the late withdrawal of acertain claim of Great Britain, as evidence suffi- cient of our title, and our right to act upon the vill. He considered the committee on Territories as the proper one tor reference. F Mr. Arcnen persisted in the impropriety of any action on the part of the Senate in this matter, pending the negotiations now going on. It was an unwarrantable intrusion of one department of the government upon the jurisdiction and courtesy due another. He suggested, in view of this considera- tion, to the Senator from Missouri, (Mr. Atchi- on) that the bill be laid upon the table. f rt. ATcHIsoN contended from the concessions of Great Britain for our incontestible title to. the Territory of Oregon, south of the Columbia river. This had been conceded time and again. All our
