The Whig papers, generally, and aportion of the so-called Democratic, have been quite incessant in their attacks on the Diplomatic correspondence of Mr. Calhoun in reference to Texas, on the ground that it was sectional in its character, and limited almost exclusively to the defence of slavery — This was to be expected from the former, as politi- cal opponents, and also from the latter, as he has ever been found in resistance to those projects of political plunder and power, which have, at all times, and under all administrations, guided the conduct of certain cliques, who are the legitimate decendents of the Burr scheol of politics. The in- dependent character of the Herald, and the impar- tiality with which it speaks of public men and measures, has been one of the causes that has pro- duced its present influence, but on the point above alluded to, partial injustice has been done Mr. Calhoun through your columns. To judge correctly, in reference to this corres- pondence, it must not be forgotten that Mr. Cual- houn came into the Department of State when the negotiations in reference to the annexation of Texas had terminated, and that all that was left for him to do, was to complete the terms, and to putthem into proper form. Under these circum- stances, what opportunity had Mr. Calhoun to ex- press his views at large, on the many advan- tages to be derived to the Union from the an- nexation of Texas? That he has viewed them fully in all their comprehensiveness, and highly ap- preciates them, no one who knows the cast of his mind will doubt ; but what opportunity has he had to express his opinions as to the great and innume- rable advantages it would confer on the commerce, the navigation, the agriculture and: manufactures of the country, as well as its general security ‘— To answer this question, it must be remembered hree partial opportunities have been of- him te express his‘opinion in reference to The first was the declaration of Lord rdeen, which, by his direction, was read to shur, and a copy of whtch was afterwarde in the hands of Mr. Calhoun. borne in mind that the object of that remarkable vaper was to quiet the apprehension of the govern. rent and people of the United States, in regard to f Great Britain in reference to aboli and especially in Texas. It wat sreat care, and well calculated to ect. Professing the greatest fairness @s (o (ue means, it nevertheless boldly avowed a determination to use all efforts to abolish slavery everywhere, and especially in Texas. It was im- possible, therefore, to admit such a paper, 80 pre- sented, to pass unnoticed, and how else could it be noticed but by showing that its avowed policy, if carried out in Texas, would be followed by pla: cing in jeopardy the domestic institutions, not only of the adjacent States of Louisiana and Arkansas, but nearly half the Union, and also te endanger the Union itself % This is precisely what Mr. Calhoun has done, ac- companied by statistical facts, which conclusively show that the professed object of England in her abolition policy, of bettering the condition of the blacks, would fail, so far as those in the United States were concerned—and that instead of better- ing their condi:ion, by destroying the relation be- tween the two races in the South, they would be put in an infinitely worse condition, judging trom abolition in other States. Could could he have qene more Would it not have been a clear dereliction of dut! if he had remained silent, or if he replied at all, have said lees, or other than what he actually did say? But could he have said more—could he have touched on the great subjects of commerce, navigation, manufactures, &c., as connected with annexation? Would it not have been preposter. ous, indeed, tor him to have gone beyond the sub. jects presented in the paper to which he was re- plying? If the correspondence between Mr. Cal- houn and Mr. Pakenham, in reference to the pa- per, be justly liable to the charge of being section- al, and a defence of slavery, is it not to be attr:- buted to the occasion in which it originated? But is itin any way liable to sucn acharge? Isitsec- he clearly has, that the avowed policy of Great Britain, if carried out in Texas, would endanger, in its consequences, the domes- tic institutions of nearly one half the Union—the security of an important frontier, on which the safety of the whole valley of the Mississippi de- pends, and possibly the Union itself? 1s it a de- tence of slavery to insist that it 18 the duty of the federal government, under the ex of the constitution, to defend all the States of this Union against domestic violence ; and as a matter of course, to guard against such causes as may en- danger them? Has it come to this—that it is an offence on the part of a Secretary of State, and an evidence of a sectional spirit, to tell,a foreign power that the policy which it has avowed in reterence to a teeble and neighboring Republic is such as would the institutions of a large : States of this Union to danger and destruction — Has it come to this—that the great and fundamen- tal guarantee of the constitution, on which our Union rests, is no longer obligatory on the ment, 90 faras the South is c sn it @ political offence to other portions of the Union to claim its protection in their behalf ? The next occasion offered in the celebrated letter to Mr. King, against which ve charges of section: tional to'show, to Mr. Calhoun was ity have been from a communication o} nce, in which he stated had taken the ground with that government that her intereste, and those of Great Britain, in respect ion, were very diffe! ir, Calhoun to M: fore, to present ina full and clear point of view, the different eflects which the consummation of the avowed policy of Great Britain im reference to Texas and this continent would have on thetwo countries. This was done by facts furnished from an English source, which are believed to be un- estionable ; and which shows conclusively that would end in a our Minister to ing was, there- nglish policy, if ly of the commerce o' Aberdeen avowed that the policy of England in 4s purely commercial, and Mr. Calhoun has but shown that by far the most important of its elements was involved in the scheme of abolishing slavery in that Republic.— Could he, therefore, with propriety, taking into view the occasion that gave rise to tne letter, have ron? occasion called tor the defence of our institutions that were immediately threatened, and also irit of commercial monopoly on the part of Great ritain, which he has accom The third and last occasion which was offered to Mr. Calhoun to express his opinion on the subject proceeded from a call of the go- 'exas to interpose tened invasion on the part of = quenae of the former havi annex Texas to the it is not necessary to dwell further than to state that the points involved were the obligation part of the United States to interpose against av i g in such a cause, pending the question of annexation—and the savage ferocity lexico hed proclaimed be conducted. The views of Mr. Calho but the able argument pre- the course of our govern- Mexico was concerned. the propriety of interfering against the threatened imvasion, were conclusive. ther, and discussed the a id have been preposterous and absurd. Toconclude, I shall venture to assert, that no one will be more gratified thea Mr. Calhoun, him- per h rghienie of giving his reference to Texas said more or lees’ T' the all-grasping ed with a master inet the threa exico, in conse- accepted our invita- invasion, origin vantages of annexation, self, to.have a views at large, of annexation in a al, manufacturing, ald silence the sectional he question of annexation in a ir approach or hostility. & a ight beyond thei Maz. Epitor :— _ My attention has been lately directed to the pub- liched report of a committee of our Chamber of Com- merce, on the very interesting question, whether the certificates issued by the ‘Mutual Insurance Companies for the amount of their nett earnings should accrue to the benefit of the owners of the goods insured, or to those who had effected the insurance for them, This decision declares that the agent and not the owner is entitled to the cer- tificates spoken of; and now, Mr. Editor, let ugexamine their grounds for this decision, and we may then see how far these accord with the prineiples of justice and common sense. Weare first told that, to establish the companies, notes were given by individuals, and to this extent they became liable for their losses; and next, that notes in anticipation of expected premiums are still asked and received by them—thus further adding to their available capital, as well as to the security of the assured. From services thus ren- dered, and risks thereby assumed, by the resident agent, who effects the insurance, his title to the benefit of the stock certificates is inferred. Now, 80 far as these two classes of contributors are con- cerned, the decision may be true ; but this is only part of the question presented to the committee. How many and what amount of contributions of the latter class do actua'ly take place, in the pre- sent condition of these companies? Without po sitively knowing their. extent, it is not unfair to presume that, compared with the whole amount of premiums received, that of contributions of this kind is verysmall. Let those who have the man- agement of these companies, and who know what has been their actual business, be asked whether this presumption is a correct one ; and let any dis- interested and honest man—rememberiog that al- ready some of these compauies possess, in funds invested, cash on hand, bills receivable &e., nearly a million of dollars—say whether the ser. vice rendered and the risk incurred be such as to warrant the conclusion of the committee, that the person effecting insurance on property not belong- ing to him, but trusted to his management for the benefit of its owner, he receiving a commission for all his services—and deducting, among other outlays, that for the premium of insurance—is en- titled, besidesgto that patt of the profits which is found in the form of a returned premium or part of the expense already charged and paid? Let him also say whether those who pay no premiums in advance, except un open policies, or risks not defined, (being reminded that these doubtless com- prise by tar the greater portion of the companies’ teceipts,) under like circumstances, incur aby risk at all—do any thing at all in the business, except as the agents of property owners, which woulden- title them, according to the principles of justice and equity, to both a part cf the profits of the busi- fees and & commission too t—for, concealed as it may bein the ample disguise of commercial tech- aicalities, to this it must be reduced, and nothing tess. One thing all will admit: that every saving of expense is an addition to the profits of so much— and the profits clearly belong to the party at whose risk and by whose capital the busivess is carried on, and to no one else; certainly not to. the mun who bas no fear, no apprehension of lossbetore his eyes, but who 1m any event will receive the pay- ment due for the services he may have performed. Eye prion of expense saved by the judicious and faithful agent—and if in the form of a draw. back or return, by him also resumed to his owner —only proves how array: be is to receive further patronage at the hands of his principal ; while each part so saved, withoutthe knowledge of the owner, and afterwards retained in cor form—I care not by what name it may be called—in the pocket of ‘he faithless and grasping commission nae nia) bs Naval Officers. Mr. Eprtor :— It seins to have become as much the fashion of late to speak slightingly, if not abusively, of our naval officers, as it was formerly,te_ shower upon them the most extravagant praise Being a person iaclined to moderation, I was not displeased with the first evidences of abatement, in that fury of ad- miration which elevated every man who Was pri- vileged to wear a button stamped with an anchor, into an hero. But the pendulum of pepular opin- ion has swung to the opposite extreme, and the hero is transformed into @ pompous idler,who hon- ore the government by receiving its money, wearing its livery at balls, processions and such like agree- able occasions on shore—or into a cruel despot, to whom the sound of the lash and the groan of his victim make sweet music—to whom hanging— others I mean, not himself, is an agreeable pastime, and who would rather by far make war on his own crew than on the enemies of his coun- try. Such has been the ianaane. of the press for the last two years, and I really hoped, that having exhausted all possible subjects and epithets of vi- tuperation, and having found its abuse received with most praiseworthy moderation, or most mor- tifyiny contempt by those at whom it wasdirected, it had bécome, if not more just in its views, at least weary of its profitless taek. It seems, however, that I had underated the perseverance and the resources of at least one of your honorable fraternity—that in his quiversthere et remained one of the poisonous arrows forged yy malice. In every attack yet made on the gen- tlemen of the Navy,°one lingering sentiment of honor seemed to be left to them. Had their char- acter been transmitted to posterity, through the medium of these attacks, they might have been said, like Byron’s hero, to have bi left a name to afier times, Linked with one virtue and ten thousand crimes.” That one virtue was fidelity to each other. They were still held guiltless of that worst species of treachery,from which even thieves are proverbial- ly said to be exempt. It was reserved for the edi- tor of a small peper in this city to discover that they had no esprit de corps, that their interests were not ror their order, but basely and sordidly selfish. It was somewhat unfortunate for this gen- tleman that he should have chosen to preve truth of this accusation, by alleging that their in- difference had driven the lamented- Newman to his grave; and that so lifeless were their 8} thies to the suffermgs of a brother, even this startling event had failed to awaken them.— {t was yet more untortunate that he should have chosen for the ‘promulgation of his slander the very day: on which the naval officers of this station met to express their high and warm regard for one of the noblest members of their corps—one whose gallant spirit and high intellec- tual endowments made him,indeed,an honor to the service—one whose: greatest, almost whose only tault, was the morbid sensitiveness which led to his tragic end. Peace be withhim! The very soul of, honor, he could not live with even a shadow on his name—a shadow which only a cowardly slan- derer would have cast. His brother officers, who best know his worth, best know how to sympathize with those who bear his name, and were nearest his heart. Those om'this station have expressed this sympathy, and not their sympathy merely— they have shown that they consider a brother offi- cer’s family as entrusted to their care—their guar- dianshio. We doubt not the example will be fol- lowed elsewhere, and that from every naval depot in the land will come a voice giving the lie to the aa. of the aforesaid paper friend'to truth, an No Navat Orricsr.

But let the reverse be the case, and in some hands the scales of justice will also be reversed in respect to both, with accommodating celerity. Tt will not be denied that these owners, whose rights, in my opinion, this decision does not re- gard, are the chief patrons of the mutual plan of insurance. Without their aid, it would be asa body with but fain’ signs of lifelike a thing whose chief business is *-alking, but whom some wise and sdood era arbitrator first deprived of the use ot une leg. ‘ ‘ a Now, will this. committee tell us how much are the risks, over and above the premiums ‘it id, by those composing the insurers and ini in the Safety Company, who are about declaring the nett earnings of the year? It will not be hazarding much to say, itis little compared with the whole. What they have decided ‘ oe general principles,” is that the certificates of those who incurred no tisk, as well as those who did, beleng to the agents and not the owners of the goods. Now, if tl had qualified their decisiou, by saying that the par- ties first lending their notes at the establishment of the companies, as they thusso far took the risk of success or failure of the rtaking, were entitled tothe benefits of that y earnings, then indeed they would have had a show of justice with them. Or had they said that those who contributed their notes yet further, and until the surplus funds to pay losses had reached the extent of the capital of any of the old and. respectable stock companies, then, too, their decision might command respect and re- ceive consideration. But when they confound those who take no risks with those who do, and then, by. a mode of logic which they may under- stand better themeelveathan their report can teach others to comprehend, they say that both have the same title to the same thing, although the chief ground to that title, Tone to their own decla- ration, is the risk ai . ©f the wisdom and equity of their conclusion, let the public decide. It the table remarks do not prove that much, if not all of whet is divided, is received by the parties without incurring any risk further than the amount of such division, it isnot too much to say thatit is capable ot proof, and if 80, where is the right of any one: to hold property for which he gave no- thing, either in capital or risk, and’ which no one having the proper power to bestow ever said, “ This is yours ; I give it to you.” {t would some- what resemble that of the builder who first makes a charge for the house he has erected, andon the payment of his demand all that it ia hie, be- beg Prep bo ject. y e plea of nearly six years usage, gravely pu forth by the ple pa but a poor reason, et indeed is any reason, their extraordinary deci- sion.

Dear Sire :— My letter published by you on Tuesday, and dated 29th ult, should have been dated 30th, and have been received by you on Tuesday, A.M. It Contained news twelve hours at least, in advance of any that you could have received from other sources. There is no anti-rent news from Hudson or Troy ; Hudson has now the Burghesses corps, 60 muskets; Emmett Guards, 60 muskets; Artil. lery, 40 muskets; Washington Rifle, 50 rifles, and Van Rensselaer Guards, 25 muskets, all from this city, asa guard. No report had been received at 10 A. M. this day, by the Governor or Adjutant General, 80 that we may safely presume that all ‘was quiet there. i Z Yesterday about 10 o’clock, Silas Wright took the oath as Governor, and Addison Gardiner as Lieut. Governor. The oath was administered by Secretary Young. The Governor and Lieut. Gov- ernor received visits or calls, at the Executive rooms in the Capitol, without any refreshments of course, whilst Mrs. Wright, aided by the two pretty daughters of Comptroller Fiagg, received visits at the gubernatorial residence in Clinton square. No change hasas yet been made in the Governor’s military family, though it is said that the Adjutant General, who resigns; the Quarter Master General, Mr. Benedict, who lives in your city, and some ot the aids, will be removed. The day was beauti- ful, and all our young men busied themeeives in muking calls. Ample and sapmnauasailes were spread in all the residences of our old Dutch popu poe, who do not believe in a temperance New ear. Office-seekers are beceming quite abundant, but of course nothing to what they were on the advent of Gov. Bouck ; his administration, following as it did, a Whig one, had one hundred times as many loaves and fishes to dispense ; still there are quite a number of officers, whose terms expire this winter, and all those who believe in rotation in office, (and all the outs hold to the creed whilst they are outs,) are in expectancy of taking the vacant places. Judging from your columns, you have an ab un- dance of theatrical, operaticjand vocal amusements in New York just now. We are less favored in re- gard to numbers here, but the fact is, Albany isnet a theatricai place. We have Mrs. Henry Hunt at the Museum Saloon, who draws full houses, and is a great favorite here. !do not know what you thought of her in New York, but here we think her the ne plus ultra in her line. With ample opportu- nities of judging, { am inclined to-name .her the firet, as a general actress, on the American stage; a high position, but I would ask, Who have you in New York who can equal her ¢ Mrs. Shaw in some characters; but Mrs. H. has the advantage in youth and personal attractions. Her being here is evidence ee the pew state of theairicala an 08 lar- ger cities, for she receives a larger salary, ir week, and a half clear benefit, $75 more, aieny two weeks, than the Park, or the leading theatres in Philadelphia or Boston, can give, and yet we have only a Museum Saioon. There isa man in Reed’s Museum Company, who, | venture the pre- diction, will, if he studies and is industrious, yet be ‘Oameidered one of the very best representatives of old men, on theatage. His name is Ellis. I shall keep you advised of anything new. Yours, dc.

To the Adjutant General : Sia—lo my letter of y: I stated that a detach- ment of my company, under command of Adjutant Humphrey, were detailed for cut at 3 o’clock yesterday morning, pursuant to the requisition of the Sheriff. The detachaent returned to this city about 9 P. M. yesterday, bringing with them, as prisoners, three of the individuals for ‘whom the Sheriff had been in search.

No “ Indians” were seen by the a ment, though at one or two points collections of men were met with. The whole distance traversed by the de- tachment yesterday, in this excursion, was 54 miles. The Deputy Sheriff bears testimony to the steady and soldier- like conduct of Adjutant Humphrey and the officers, non- commissioned officers and men, comprising the detach- ment, throughout this I understand thet various alarming rumors in relation to this expeditien, were in cireulajion in Albany yester day It might be well ge to caution the public against putting any faith in such vegue rts, and to assure them that when any thing decisive does happen, official intelligence thereof will be instantly trensmitted to head vosivers by aay oe om ; am, sir, most res; ly, your ob’t. servan ats Pern Ruyos Kia, Com.
