The message of the Governor is anxiously looked for, as it will undoubtedly settle the question. ‘The Money Market is very tight, and the rate of inter. est full even per cent. The banks ere very cautious in their movements, and do not let out a single dollar more than they are compelled to. In Philadelphia, money out of the banks is worth 9 212 percent.

Cotton bills are in bad repute—those making remittances refusing to take soune grades offering at any prices. . Al- though the present state of the cotton market is the prip- cipal cause of exchange continuing so high, it must even. tually be the prime cause of adeclinejn rates.

BSVE 1S RERES u at ig Commereial, Bi The annual report of the steckholders of the United States Bank, for 1845, has been made. It contains no thing of importance The report states that as the leans contracted by the bank in Europe are now all due, with a considerable amount of interest, pressing applications have been made for payment, particularly the interest, and also for part-of the principal, as an inducement on the part of the holders of the bank debentures to extend the time for the payment of the balance. Intimations have been thrown out by some of the holders of the deben- tures of the bank, that unless some prevision is soon made for the payment of them, in whole or in pert, they would be under the necessity of urging the sale of some of the securitiey for their relief. Nothing of the kiad bas, however, beendone, The securities of the bank de- posited in Europe,are composed principally of State stocks, a large portion of which is the stock of delinquent States, particularly Pennsylvania State 6’s, which must, inthe event of the interest being paid, increase in value very much. Thereport this year does not allude particularly to the assets, and we therefore annex the Igtest report, detailing the effairs of the bank. There has recently been considerable speculation in this stock, and to those interested in that way, the condition of the bank is of im- portance. ota ania Bawx or tHe Unirep States. Jan. 2,43.

The subscriptions for the com pletion of this road are stendly progressing, and the amount required must soon be obtained. The message of the Governor of Kentucky, to the Le- gislature of that State, gives a very plain statement of the public debt and resources of the Commonwealth. The treasury appears to be in a very flourishing condition— the receipts being annually larger then the expenditures, leaving a balance on hand. The Governor says that there is no doubt of the ability of the treasury to meet all demands upon it for the fiscal year ending October 10, 1845. The receipts of the year ending October 10, 1°44 were $390,149 40, and the payments for the period were $349,685 10, leaving a balance of $41,114 30. The re celpts for the year ending October 10, 1846, ere estimated at $392,422 99; and the demands at $366,379 64, leaving a balance of $26,043 49. The surplus is not large, showing thet it is necessary that economy should be used and every expenditure cur- tailed as much ag possible. Since the 14th of December, 1648, thirty years’six per cent bonds tothe amount of $956.000 have been issued. $151,000 of these were in ex change for six years’ bonds previously issued, making an increase in the bonds out sgeinst the State of $206,000 — There has not, in fact, been af increase in the pudlic debt of a single dollar, there having been only achange in the form of former liabilities.

The Governor states that the suit which was brought by the Bank of Kentucky egainst the Schuy/kill Bank, to recover for the loss sustained by the fraud of the latter, is yet in progress and undetermined ; but a decision is ex, pected the coming spring term. The loss sustained by this frond hes compelled the-bank to reduce the dividends to stockholders ; but it is confidently anticipated that short time will suffice to place the circulation in a sound state again. The Bank of Kentucky, the Northern Bank ot Kentucky, and the Louisville Bank, are reported to be able to discharge all their liabilities, and deserve the full confidence of the public. ‘The Message of Geverner Andersen, of Maine, to the Legislature, in alluding to the finances of the State, says that the Treasury is in a very favorable condition. The reccipts during the year were $386,695, and the expend> tures $290,598, leaving a balance of $76,327, which, with the sum received from the Generel Government in the settlement of the boundary question, makes the amount in the Treasury, $297,000, Under the resolution adopted by the lest legislature, empowering the Treasurer to | 0 purchase the State bonds, $72,500 have been bought, | ™! being all that could be obtained, except at a price higher than the limitation. Early in the présent year $222 000 of the six per cent bonds become due, which can be re- deemed from the amount now in the treasury, and still leave a balante of $74,000 unexpended.

My Dear Siz:— arrange: The debate on the Texas question was continued to-day in the House. Mr. Parmenter, (Whig,) from Massachusetts, leading the way, and Dou- glass, of Illinois, repiying. Mr. Clingman, a Whig, from North Carolina, followed Mr. Douglass, and made a regular clap-trap speech in exposition of what he called frauds of the democratic party at the recent contest, as an off-set against the argu- ment that the people had decided in favor of an- nexation at the election. He abused the Empire Club and its officers in no measured terms, and charged fraud upon fraud, until he was called to order, and told by Black, of Georgia, that his as- sertions were all false as regards that State. Mr. Yancey, a new Democratic member from Alabama, obtained the floor, when the House ad- journed, leaving him the privilege of continuing the debate at the opening of the day’s proceedings. At the close of the debate Mr. Mc Dowell, of Ohio, offered another plan for annexation State, and several other minor matters were p! seated that will be found in the reguiar proceed- ings. Wasuinaten, Jan. 6, 1845. Dgax Bennett :— You wiil see, from your reporter’s returns, that the Senate have been doing yeoman’s service to- day. Oregonand Texas still kept back, and the Smitheopian Institute. Mr. Niles gives notice of a plan of annexation; Mr. Heywood has already ‘iven notice; Mr. Benton’s scheme, and Mr. cDuffie’s, are before the committee on the case. How many more we are te have there is no guess- ing; but not a single plan will be passed by either house the present session The division amo! the democrats, in the modus i, is wide an irremediable for the present. We shali have to wait for Colonel Polk. The cars are off.

NEW HAMPSHIRE ON ANNEXATION. Mr. Atugrton presented a series of elegant re- solutiona passed by the Legislature ef New Hamp- shire, requesting their Representatives, and in- structing their Senators in Congress to use their best endeavors in effecting the immediate annexa- tion of Texas, asserting that in fact and in law Texas is an independent nation, and is entirely aa free from the Government of Mexico as the other sovereignities of the globe—that any attempt on the part of the United States to acquire the assent of Mexico to the annexation of Texas would be as fruitless as it would be unnecessary; that we have a claim to the re-acquisition of Texas from its ori- inal purchase with the territory of Louisiana— that from the commercial and political advantages that would accrue from the admission of Texas, it {s called for—that the Legislature of New Hamp- shire does not recognize the right ot foreign nations to interfere in this matter—that annexationis called for by everpcousideration of national honor and national policy, and that ‘‘it would be unwise to refuse a permanent acquisition, which will last as long as the globe remains, on account of a tempo- rary institution.” Reterred to Committee on Foreign Relations, and ordered to be printed.

Our brown coated brethren remonstrate respectfully but earnestly against the annexation of Texas, be- cause it would Inevitably tend te the perpetuation of slavery—to destroy the present harmonious re- fations existing among the nations of the earth; because it wouldleadto war. On request of Mr. D, the Secretary was proceeding into the argument pf the petition, when the burden of its song appear- ing to be a homily upen the evils of the slave hold- lng system of the South, y Mr. Merrick raised a question of rec Mr. Pues desired that the memori: n. might be Mr. Foster, of Tenn. moved to lay the question } of reception upon the table. Mr. Sevien—Read! Read! I hope, sir, the memorial will be re Mr. Merrick said that custom had been to dis- pose of papers of this character very summarily ; and the custom’had been conducive to quiet and harmony. He hoped. the question of reception would be put. _ i % The Cuaie said that that question would now be out of order. The question turned upon the read- ing. Mi. Merzicx said that the Senator from New York had not stated the nature of the petition ful; ly. It had turned out a somewhat different paper from that which he had represented it to be, a re- monstrance against the annexation of Tex Mr. Foster asked it the quéstion of beg ra as moved to be laid upon the table, carried the paper along with it, because, if it did, he should call for the ayes and noes. “ The Cuarr said the question was on the reading. Mr. Dicxinson disciaimed the imputation invol- ved in the remarke of the Senator from Maryland, of having misstated the substance, of the 1:.emorial, and delicately inquired of the Senator if he had ap- prehended there was anything serious in the mat- ter. Mr. Merricx—Not at all—not at all—nothing improper in the Senator’s statement. Mr. D:cxtnson said thathe had not examined the memorial, but presented it from what it appeared to be upon its face. _ Mr. Menaicx persisted that he, meant to charge nothing in the world improper upon the Senator when he (Mr. M.) made the motion to dispose of this memorial as others of the same character had been uniformly disposed of. The Cwair stated the question to be upon readi Mr. Carrrenpen defended the Quakers. They had come in quietly from year to year with their memorials. hey were not agitators, but a peace- able, quiet and inoffensivecommunity.

The question was taken by rising; 2h for the reading, noes not counted; and the reading of the feemons of the Friends was concluded according. ly 3, when, Un motion of Mr. Droxtneon, the memorial was referred to the Commutee on Foreign Relations, PENNY POSTAGE. On Mr. Merricx’s motion, the Postmaster Gene- ral was requested to communicate such informa- tion as was in his posses-ion, of the operation of the Penny npeame in England since last session. Mr. M. said that he had learned such official infor- mation was in the haads of Mr. Wickliffe. OREGON AND THE WESTERN WATERS. Mr. Bucttanan presented a memorial trom Wash- ington County, Pa., asking for the passage, with: out delay, of a bill for Oregon, ot settlement, pro- tection, occupation and jurisdiction.

The constitution contained a clause, “the powers not delegated tosthe United States the Coe pyieget ee prehibited by : 101 States are reserve the respectively, or to people” This instrument he hed sworn to pen jeon he would endeavor to do se more especially on the present occa. sion. Often os he hed reflected on this subject, he found it difficult to realize that it was now before them for dis- cussion, much less for decision: It was utterly impossi- ble for him to reconcile with any thing contained in the Constitution, that a qi such magnitude es this could be settled by Congress, asa part of the Gov- ernment, under the circumstances as they now ex- isted.

This too was done at a time when Texas and Mexico were revolt ing colonies of Spain—the ermies of Spain not with- drawn, and the Spanish forts garrisoned with troope— the war still continuing. He took these facts from the official records, General Jackson might also come for- ward and cleim that under his administration, in 1829, his Secretary of State, (Mr. Van Buren) wes instructed to make arrangements to renew treaty stipulations furthe re-annexation of Texas to our country, and offered five millions of dollars for the territory.
