= NEV New York, Saturday, Mareh 1, 1845. Important News for Europe. Phree packets—the Oneida, for Havre ; Indiana, for Liverpool; and Victoria, for London—belong- ing to the Auantic Express Line, will sail to-day. They will convey te Europe tar more important intelligence than has gone -in the Hibernia; they will carry to our numerous friends abroad the decision of the present Congress on the Texas question. They willalso convey one day’s later intelligence from all parts of the American Conti- nent. The Weekly Herald, with all thisnews, ina com- prehensive and readable shape, will be ready at pine o’clock this morning. American National Affairs. The Congress of the United States will close their present session on the night of Monday next, the 3d of March, at 12 o’clock, and on Tuesday, at noon, James K. Polk, the Democratic President elect, and George M. Dallas, the Vice President, will be inaugurated into office, and the President then deliver his inaugural addresson the stepsof the capitol of the nation, in the presence of tens of thou- sands of his fair countrywomen, and the sturdy de- mocracy of this great and glorious Republic. During the past week, the debate on the question of annexation of Texas has been continued in the Senate, on the passage cf the joint resolutions in favor of that measure, that had previously passed the House of Representatives, and wasstill before that body at eight o’clock on Thursday night, when the cars left Baltimore. By an understand- ing between the members of the Senate, the de- bate was te be closed on Thursday with the speech of Senator Archer, and the vote was to have been taken immediately afterwards. This understand ing was made previous to the speech of Senato" Bagby, of Alabama, of the democratic side, who it was supposed was an advocate of the joint resolutions, but who was found to approve of the proviso before the Senate, offered by Sena- tor Benton, of the same side, which plan is to con" clude the details of annexation by Commissionerr, to negotiate and report the result of their labors to another Congress, for their action. The joint re- solutions, as passed through the lower House, pro- vide for an immediate annexation of the Republic of Texas as a State, leaving her the sale of her public lands, the payment of her own debts, and settling the line of slave territory in accordance with the ‘Missouri Compromise.” The present plan of Senator Benton acknow- ledges the right to annex Texas to the Union, without asking the assent of Mexico, and leaves the details of boundary, payment of debts, &c., to the action and decision of commissioners, and the sanction of the next Congress, that was and willbe elected during the pendency of this question before the people. This plan is viewed by many as the most statesmanlike of the two, and has been con- curred in by such portion of the Senators as will probably secure its adoption asa proviso to the joint resolutions of the House, or as theirsubstitute. The resolutions, without amendment, will not pass the Senate, and if amended, the bill must be returned to the House for its concurrence, and thus several democrats who voted against them in the House willhave an opportunity to concur with the almost unanimous voice of the nation on this question Senator Benton will thus secure ‘to himeelf the honor of the adoption of this measure, or force those who have been its advocates to bear the onus of its defeat by opposing his mode of accom- plishing it. Another view may be taken in support of his plan, ina partizan sense—that is, that the question willbe kept before the American people, in sus- penee, for another year, and thus the democratic party reap the benefits, by a continuous rally in its support, through the popularity of which jit ulg and southwestern State in the Union, and also 4 large majority of the members of Congress in the west and south yet to be elected for the next see- sion. It hes been supposed that a desire to induce the President elect to accede to admit the “Wash ington Globe” as the official organ, and to assent to certain members being placed in the cabi- net, had induced the assumption of this posi- tion, on the part of Messrs. Benton, Bagby, and others. This may be so, and if 80, may be consi- dered a collateral, but not an immediate prompting. One thing is clearly certain from the state of feel- ing in the Senate, on Thureday night—the joint resolutions of the House cannot pass without the amendment of Senator Benton, as a proviso, which proviso will be more likely to be adopted by the Texan Republic, than the provisions of the joint resolutions. But whatever may be the result in the present Congress, Texas will be sooner or later, annexed to this Union. That is certain. Should Congress adopt any decided measure of annexation at the present Congress, the Mexican Minister will immediately demand his passports, and receive them as quick as desired. This we have received from an unquestionable source, and may be relied upon ascorrect. The information communicated a few days since relative to the expose of the negotiation between Santa Anna and the English government for the purchase of Celifornia, is correct in every particu- jar, as the American minister at Mexico has sent official notice of the tact to the Secretary of State, and the despatches are now before the Se- nate of the United States. The yearly notice of abrogation of joint occupa- tion of the Oregon country, will be concurred in by the Senate, but the territorial provisions of the bill will not be adopted. The postage reform bill, reducing the rates to five cents under three hundred miles, and ten cents over, will pass the Senate and become a law. It is also probable that the foreign letter reform bill will also be adopted. A. H. Everett, has been nominated as Minister to China, by President Tyler, but the Senate com- mittee have struck the appropriation for his salary out of the civil and diplomatic bill, and, of course, if adhered to, he will cause his name to be with. drawn. Mr. Pigott, a gentleman married to a niece of the President elect, has also been nominated as Consul to Havre, in the place of Mr. Beazely.— Wright Hawkes, will probably be sent to Paris, in place of Robert Walsh, and Gen. Armstrong to Liverpool, alter Mr. Polk’s inanguration. The cabinet will not be announced until after the 4th of March, but if Mr. Calhoun goes out, he will not go to Europe as Minister. He will retire to his farm for 1848, [See “ Postscript” on the third page, for the latest intelligence. ] Tux “Natives” in Pamapetrnta.—The “na- tives” in Philadelphia have come out with another furious address denouncing “the Pope”—* the Irish”~and ‘the Dutch,” with the most unmiti- gated ferocity, and speaking with boiling enthn- siasm about their devotion to the “ American flag” and the “Bible.” Very harmless. , Mexico.—Our last accounts from Vera Cruz were to the 3d instant. We published the news « day or two ago. In brief, however, we'll state tha’ Santa Anna was still in prison, pleading for his lite —that the new government had become consoli dated and strong—that the trouble over the coun try had ceased with the capture of Santa Anna, and that the inhabitants were seeking repose which they expected to enjoy for a monthor two Texas.—All was quiet in this “lone star” on the 12ch inst. Congress had adjourned, and the people were preparingto enter this Union—they having received the news of the passage of the Texas reso lutions in the lower branch ot Congress. No im- portant event has occurred in Texas ug Posracs Bint—-Tue Trxas Qurstion.— The present seesion of Congregs is now rapidly drawing to aclose. On Monday next it will ter- minate. Ithas been about as unprofitable as Cou- gressional sessions usually have been for some years past, but ithas been rich in developments of poliucal profligacy—detalcations—personal quar- rels—fends in the democracy—and all sorts of par- ty manopuvre and intrigue. One green spot, however, canbe discerned amid the barren waste of ill-spent time—the Postage Bill has passed and is now a law. It is true that the efficiency of the measure has been considerably depreciated by the amendment imposing a charge of ten cents for single letters over three hundred miles. This alteration is absurd and impolitic. It will have the very opposite effect from that anticipated by its advocates, and instead of pre. serving the revenues of the Department from lose, it will operate disadvantageously, just as was the case in England when the first reduction of post- age was made on a graduated scale. A low uni- form rate is the only safe and practicable system. However, the bill, even as it is, is a great boon, and comes not the less acceptable, because it was hardly expected at this late period of the session. We have long and perseveringlylabored tor this great reform, and may, therefore, well feel elated on re- ceiving this first instalment of it. The grand prin- ciple has now triumphed, and it willsoon be found necessary, in order to make the measure fully successful, to establish an uniform low rate of postage. As to the Texas question, its fate seems to be trembling in the balance. It now seems very doubtful if the House resolutions will pass. If the measure be thus defeated, it will be in consequence of the feuds and quarrels of that very party which carried the last election, by making this Texas question one of the leading issues in the contest. As to the ultimate triumph of the measure there can be no doubt. The popular feeling in favor of annexetion is overwhelming, and grows more in- tense every day. Itis the natural and irreversible destiny ot this country to extend its boundaries and its system of free government, until the whole of the western hemisphere be covered by one great confederacy of republics. We have just entered on a new and important period in the history of this country and of the werld. New and mighty elements are just introducing themselves into the political world, and the entire complexion and organization of parties in this country are about to be subjected togreat changes. Every political movement now, on both sides of the Atlantic, is full of interest and of the future. Canapa.—There is nothing new from Canada; but to a person conversant with men and measures there, something worthy of attention is observable in the movements of society; for, although quiet and repose seem to reign in that province just now, there are elements at work which will most certainly explode sooner or later, if another policy be not adopted to neutralize their force. First, there is the melancholy growth of Orange- ism, a system totally incompatible with a healthy state of society, and that has been proved by its re- sults wherever it has obtained a footing. No ar- gument is required to prove this; if proof be wanted, it is quite sufficient to adduce the fact that it was 80 pernicious, so infernal an influence in Ireland, that even a Tory Ministry abandoned it—nay more, they crushed it. And yet, under the eye of a govern- meatgprofessing§to be a liberal and reforming one; professing to recognize the broad principles of equal- ity in the eye of the law, at least and as far asthe genius of a monarchical and aristocratical institu- tion will permit of it—this government not only winks at the growth of asystem underits very nose —but there is the best grounds for believing, en- courages and fosters it. We have the authority of theGrand Master of Orangeism inCanada for saying, that it is spreading to a degree and with a rapidity fit to satisfv.hie urare peace'in aia el Whoever, too, will take the trouble of looking over the parliamentary proceedings in the House of Assembly during the present session, will disco- ver, in strongly marked characters, that antagonism between the ministerial and opposition benches, which exhibited itself 80 often during the adminis tration ef Sir C. Metcalf, and so tatally to the pub- lic peace, the lives and property of the people. All this arose from the bad and rotten policy of the go- vernment, which, with fair words and fine decla- rations on its lips, never for a moment thought of foregoing the old principle of grinding, directing, controlling, coercing the people, instead of consult- ting, respecting; and obeying them. Now it isa folly, if not worse,te pursue this policy on this con- tinent; it is drivelling silliness to revive the spirit and apply the maxims of old European govern- ments in this wesstern hemisphere and in this age However disagreeable it may be to him, the British Viceroy and his minions are responsible to the peo- ple, and if they will not confess that, they should go home, ‘where they belong.” A silly attempt was made to alter the Custom House laws, 80 as to extend the exemption from fo- reign duty of American wheat in bond. At present that article when ground in Canada is received in England as Colonial flour, thus bestowing a grea’ advantage on Canada millers, and a handful of shippers. Not content with this, they attempted to extend the law to wheat in bond, hoping thus to evade the Colonial duty on wheat imported into Canada ; they were, however, very properly dis- comfited in their attempt. The Railroad scheme appears to be highly popu- lar in Montreal, and when accomplished, to judge from their expectations, they will be fairly made up by it. This we have no objection to ; but if the whole truth were known, there is a shrewd com- munity at the other terminus of the line whe calcu- lateto come in for a Benjamin’s portion of the profits; and we think it will be soon discovered by the Canada projectors, and all interested, that, to use an Irish phrase, “they will be after” buying more frem, and selling less to, the New England folks than before they got the great railroad from Montral to Boston. Tueatricats.—Theatricale in this city, and throughout the country, are ina wretched condi- tion. Ata few points in the South semething ap- pears to be doing, but every where else the drama appears to be hopelessly declining. Anderson continues to attract crowded houses at New Orleans. Booth is at Cincinnati, and seems to be doing ‘‘as well as can be expected.” Borghese, and the two or three members of the Italian troupe who accompanied her to New Or- leans, have been disappointed in obtaining a foot- ing there. It is probable that they will return to this city. Madame Pico has gone to Washington, where she will give a series of concerts, essisted by San- quirico and Antognini. There still continues to be a great deal of talk about the erection of anew Opera House in this city, and it is likely that it will end where it began, in mere talk. De Begnis is negociating with Pal- mo for a lease of histheatre for two or three years, and has concocted a very magnificent scheme for the establishment of the Italian Opera. A great many concerts have been given during the season, but few have realized much. The bu- siness has, in fact, been quite overdone. In fact, the only really successful artists at present on the stage, are the classic African operatic troupe, at Palmo’s little bijow of a theatre, and Gen. Welch’s magnificent animals at the Park. Tue German Society Concert.—One of the best concerta of the season is to be given on the Sth inst, at the Tabernacle, for the benefit of the German Society. Madame Ouo, one of the most charming vocalists in this country, and always the first to bestow her services in the sacred cause of benevolence, is to take a prominent part in the entertainment w Youk Pilots—Their Course. We mentioned yesterday that the resolutions af- fecting the pilots which passed the Senste, were killed in the House on Thursday, by means not now necesgary to mention. They were dropped, and members voting against them mustact on their own casuists in the matter. It is a source of congratulation to those interest- ed with the vindication of State Rights, to observe the action by the Senate on the resolutions in question—their firmpess, notwithstanding the mest strenuous efforteto defeat them. Remonstrances and memorials have inundated both branches of the Legislature, charged with such palpable errors, that more benefit has thus been rendered to our worthy pilots, than they couldin any other manner gain—core even, than could have been secured to them by the simple passage of the resolutions. All who oppose the pending measure, insist that the existing competition results from the act of Congress of 1887, when in truth it proceeds chiefly, indeed, entirely, from the law of this State. Re- peal the: State law, and it is immediately asked, why the combinations alleged prior to 1887 could not again be restored 2 Letus examine this point practically and philosophically, regarding interest as the leading impulse of mankind. Prior to 1837 there were sixty licensed pilots of this State, said to have been in combination. There are now 81 of New York and 17 of New Jersey, employed in 18 New York and 8 Jersey boats—us appears by the report of the Chamber of Commerce, If it was competent in 1837 for 60 New York pilots to combine, could not 93, including the Jereey- men, do so now? It would only be extending the arrangement, and human nature is the same all over the world. Can it besaid there exists no motive at this time, or that the elements consti- tuting New York and New Jersey pilets would not amalgamate? It is {true that mutual prejudice ex- ists, but it is not equally true that personal repug- nance presents but a public barger to thrift? Dan- ger, toil, depreciation and toss of property are stropg arguments to reconcile these conflicting ele- ments, and offer strong temptations to bring them to the same fold. The act of Congress is embraced in a single sec- tion, end contains but a single feature, that of au- thorizing the licensed pilots of either State to pilot vessels to and from this port. It contains no prehi- bition whatever on the subject of combination—or Hee acy in profits. That essential feature is alone found inthe State law. This being true, what becomes of the proposition that competition flows from the act of Congress? teed Let us now consider the great merit claimed from competition, undigested, and free from all regulation and wholesome restraint. At this junc- ture it is extolled asa marvellous merit, whilst practically, at all times, it 1s not so highly esteemed. It is said that the existing Legislature has se- cured extraordinary industry and enterprize—that “off-shore pilotage” has been more generally paic since 1887—and that previously vessels were uni- formly boarded close under the land. Has the operation been universally advantageous— indeed, may it not be considered of doubtful benefit? It is well known that the Memphis, North America, Garrick, Louis eee Franklin, and Florida, went on shore during the last three years, and three of them were totally lost, and for oo other reason than that the commended, enterprize led the pilots far to sea in pursuit of employment, when they should have been in the ueighborhood of pilot service. If this off-shore crvizing has not been esteemed objectionable, why did the insurance interest apply to the Commissioners of Pilots that boats might be stationed at certain point: near the Hook, to intercept inward bound vessels? And why was the Sppicehon denied, thus to sta tion the New York boats, whilst the Jerseymen would be scouring a few miles further at sea, to get the vessels which might possibly, in escaping them, fall in with the station boats? t {s it not, also, a fact beyond suapale, that whilst the Chamber of Commerce and eleven Insurance Companies are commending this “off-shore” en terprize, and comforting the New York pilots with the glorious equivalent of one-fourth extra pilotage, many of our merchants have refused to employ the pilot bringing their vessels in port to take them again to’ sea, notwithstanding the established usage, and have given them, outward bouad, to New Jersey men, for the single reason that the off- shore. nilotage.hac hern.nawed, vd. malar Voi es, desire the names of the merchants who ; arte this course, they will be promptly jurnished. The owners of various lines of packets have thus and still continue to visit their dissatisfaction on the New York Pilots, for presuming to require for their services what the law allows; in other words, at this juncture, this “off shore” pilotage, is a trump card to play against the Pilots. ._ The Pilots of New York are incapable of charg- ing designed misrepresentations on the Chamber of Commerce—but finding that distinguished body be- trayed in error—they are constrained to expose it The memorial or remonstrauce of these gentlemen, states that during the year 1844, the New York Pi- lots “brought in” 1992, and during the same year “took out”? 1610 vessels; that is to say,they “brought in” 882 vessela more than they “took out.” It also states that in 1844, the New Jersey Pilots “brought in” 563, and “took out’ 5668 vessels; in other words, they. ‘‘took out” five more vessel: than they “brought in.” If these statements are accurate, it obviously follows that of the 382 ves. sels which the New Yorkers “brought in” more than they “took out,” all but the five which the Jerseymen “‘took out” more than they “brought in,” never left the port again; an absurdity, too palpable to be entitled to much credit. This.ex- posed error leads to the consequence that statisti- cal information communicated by New Jersey in regard to the vessels taken to sea by her Pilots, is not to be relied upon. It may be said that the New York statement is inaccurate, and, indeed, there would be justice in hesitating to charge the delin- quency on New Jersey—was not the conclusion ir- resistible from facts well known, to none better known, than to the merchants and underwriters themselves. The tacts are that there are many ship owners and consignees, who refuse to employ New York Pilots, to navigate their vessels to sea for the fol- lowing reasons: some on account of the charge o/ “‘ofl-shore” pilotage; others on account of three per cent imposed by law on the amount of pilotage to be paid to the commissioners, and yet others from the desire to patronize the Jerseymen. Again, it is offered to designate the gentlemen who are influenced by these various reasons,should the Chamber of Commerce or underwriters desire it; the result is either that the Jereey Pilots, from a desire to conceal the partiality extended to them by the merchants of New York, and the corres. pondent injustice to the Pilots of this State, have not made falthful returns of their business, or that the 877 vessels which the New Yorkers ‘brought in” more than they took out, were all lving atour wharves on the last day of the year 1844, or had iy left through some other channel. Who believes it Bovquets.—We perceive that Mr. John Robig- son, the famous floral artist who has had the su. perintendence of Niblo’s conservatory for some time past, has opened on his own account at the corner of Prince street and Broadway, Niblo’s Garden. i Parx Turatre.—This is the last day but one that the Juvenile and others will have an opportue nity of witnessing the wonderful performances of Welch’s National Circus Company inthe afternoon; we therefore recommend all who are desirous of 80 doing, to take the opportunity, and go early.

(Correspondence of the Herald.) Boston, Feb. 27, 1845. The Stream to Washington—Inauguration of Mayor Davis—Singular Increase of Population— Women of the Pacific—Theatricals. All eyes are turned towards the seat of intrigue and management, Washington, where most of our leading politicians have gone. Every mouth is filled, like the newspapers, with conjectures relative to the cabinet appointments, removals from offices, to confirmations, and the like. Many of our lovli- est belles have gone on to grace the inauguration ball, and if your own and other cities but send a proportional quota, it will prove a recherché affair indeed. There wasa report about town yesterday and this morning that Mr. Davis, the newly elected na- tive Mayor, would not be sworn into office, on ac- count of the illegality of the returns from ward 122 —(South Boston)—the inspectors for which section, it appears, were never sworn into their offices. But let this be as itmay, Mr. Davis was sworn in this noon, having votes enough for a choice, throwing out the ward in question. Our city police and such other officers as depend upon the gift of the Mayor, and his interest here, suddenly become most stren- uous “ natives,” and if we are to believe them, every one voted that ticket at the last election Perhaps so! ‘ 3 Perhaps yeu noticed that the train of cars which left Portland for Boston on Tuesday afternoon, took but thirty-four passengers at starting, and yet when they arrived here, although they took up none on the way, they had thirty-five. This an- nouncement puzzled some of our first arithmeti- cians; but thus it was: a young girl was delivered of a fine boy in the cars, which she quietly placed in her moff, and carried to her home. Otaheite, the most fruitful isle of the Society group. and not inaptly termed the belle of the Pa- cific, bids fair to become quite a lionamong islands the world over. I learn froma friend lately re- turned from Europe, that a number of the female natives, who are described toresemble very much the quadroons of the West Indies, have lately been imported into England. They possess fine black hair, are of ordinary size, and in complexion of a pale mahogany brown. ‘They are remarkable for very beautiful eyes, which are said to even rival the Circassian belles, and are as graceful in their native wildness as the Bohemian peasants. This city, like that ot New York, is fully stock- ed with minstrels, white and black, ‘‘eable sis- ters,” ete.

Ist, 1845, was 3,169 tons. ‘The productiveness of the railroads of New England,and those of this State. in active operation, has atiracted the attention of capitalists of this city to the subject, and we should not be surprised to see in a short time, as mach ex citement in this city among monied men, in relation to railroads, as thereever wasin Boston, the very centre o! railway enterprise. Heretofore the attention of capitalists has been almost exclusively directed to the construction of railroads on the east side of the Hudson river. With the exception of the}Western road running through this State, and the Long Island road, we have no roads connectip; any great points. The Albany and New Railroad their line much further north, until the Legistature grants the company ‘Privileges to do so. While these lines in this State on the east side of the river are remaining inac- tive, the companies ‘having charters to construct @ road on the west side, are making an effort to get subscriptions tothe stock, to enable them to commence operations at once. Public notice has been given that the commissioners authorised to receive subscriptions to the capital stock of the Goshen and Albany Railrocd, will open the books on the 28th of March at Goshan, and on the Sist at the Mer- chants’ Bank in this city. The Legislature granted 8 charter in 1842, which secures to this company the privilege of using the Erie Railroad on equitable terms. Last spring the act was renewed and amend- ed. In connection with this movenient, the Paterson Railroad Company have prepared to extend their road to Ramapoo, by which, it is stated, the distance be- tween New York and Albany will be reduced to 144 miles, thus nting @ route neaily straight and level, the whole distance, by which the journey may be safely made in seven hours, at all seasons, while the heavy Se and from this city could go via Piermont as at present At Albany, this road will connect with the Mohawk and Hudson railroad, and thus form a complete line of railroad to Lake Erie, so highly important to the com- merce of this city at this time, in view of the great and increasing diversion of the trade from its old channels to the eastern cities. On the route, it will also connect witb the goal fields of Pennsylvania, via the Delaware and Hudson canal, with the railroad to Catskill; and also the numerous turnpikes and other roads leading from the west te the Hudson, all which will contribute largely to thd revenue of this company. The valley of the Wallkill is as marked as the channe! of the Hudson, from which it is divided by successive ridges of steep granite hills, extending from the Highlands to near Kingston, and presenting almost insuperable ob- stacles to travel and transportation to and from the ri- ver. This well known fact will secure, (at mode rate rates of fare,) nearly all the travel and trans- portation of that valley, ond the country west of it, at all seasons, to this rairosd. The valley of the Wallkill is very little known or appreciated by our ci- tizens. Its extent is about afty with an average width? to the mountains on the west of about twenty miles—distinguished in its whole extent for its my, of soil, fine climate and great beanty of scenery. Also, it is well known to possess a vast extent ofavailable water pewer, which only waits the facilities of a railroad to at- tract large ents of capital in maneenees wane roportionate increase of population, as wn to Present unrivalled. a for thet branch of industry in 1840 the population of bari Ulster and Sullivan counties (mainly settled along this valicy,) wan 112,190— the capital then invested in manufactures, in 1640, four millions of dollurs—of which ene million was invest- ed in tanneries, principally along the eastern slope of the Shawangunk ond Catskili Mountains, which made in that year 673,106 sides of leather, principally for sele in this city, from whence nearly all these hidcs also are trans ported. This brief view of the resources for re’ to this railroad along the route, cannot fail to interest holders, connected with the well xnown fact, that it will connect our city with the entire country north and west of Albany. In view of these manifest facts, to produce and sust: large revenue, we cannot imagine any more safe and beneficial investment for funds. In view also of the benefits to result to all real estate in this city, we oye this enterprise claims the good will of all our citizens. The construction of a railroad from Albany to Go- sheu, to connect with the Erie, would give us a rail- way communication with Albany on the west side of the river, which is as much wanted as on the east side The western trade comes iv the river by the communica- tions now in operation, and before getting to this city must cross the river at some point. The river at Albany is often so firmly closed during a Se part of the winter, that passengers, baggage, freight, &c., are carried over on the ice from the depots on each side, The principal Railroads of this State must eventu- ally west of the Hudson River. The completion of the Erie Railroad through the southern section of this State will create a demand for branch roads con neotiug the northern line of road with the Erie, at the principal points, opening chai of communication with every section of the State.
