Affairs at the Capital—Movements of the Legusla- ture. Weather temperate—beautiful sleighing—Senate Sparsely attended this morning—Young, of the re- gular army, in his seat as usual—Denniston in his place, reading the important Washington in yesterday’s Herald. Twelve of the “boys” from New York arrived in the cars last evening, and marched into the Senate lobby this morning, ina very orderly manner—their object ambiguous—suppes- ed tobe the bearers of sealed instructions from the de- mocracie of the Ninth ward in New York, to the New York delegation in the House, as to their votes on the printing bill.

The Proceedings in the Legislature, §c. A very lovely morning—sun brilliant—snow melt- ing—sleighing superb—House in committee on the bill to regulate the public printing—just going to take the vote—tremendous anxiety—radica's tete-a-tete in the lobbies canvassing—Develin, of New York, read- ing some writing on a yellow paper—supposed to be ma- king a speech, and the paper is supposed to contain notes od libitum—House in confusion—four radicals absent-- whigs and conservatives ali present, and straining every nerve to force the question before the House. Develin ‘was followed by Tilden, in favor of the House bill. Mr. Attorney General Van Buren isin close conversation with Gov. Wright in the Executive chamber—Van Bu- ren looks very grave—Gov. Wright's countenance beams with placidity and peace. On near spproach, their con- versation ceased—probably matters concerning the Church and State. Mr. Tilden still os one of his argumonts in favor of the House bill is, thet the bill reduces the charge upon the baer a for printing, to one-third of the amount provided for by the Senate bill. Here is caucussing in one part of the lobbie: there is Eyhoces g in another part; audible conver. und the chamber; here is the ‘ rat ‘tat,’ come to order” from the chair; and above the confusion we occasionally catch the metallic notes of Mr. Tilden’s voice, advocating the expediency of the Assembly printiog bill. a Havemeyer is looking on; a very bland smile mantles his countenance.

Mr. Tilden pronounced a beautiful eulogy upon the “ fierce democracie” of New York ; he r to state, however, that some one of the New York members of the House was serecet te ‘Van Buren’s sub-treasury, and was dissatisfied with Van Buren’s administration.

The matters in controversy with the government, though nominally between the government and the bank, are embraced in the assignment made by the bank to the trustees, and are placed as fully in their charge as any of the assets of the bank. It is, therefore, exclu- sively their duty to adopt such measures, and pursue such a course, asin their judgment shall seem best cal- culated to the bank, either by arrangement or compromise, or in due course of law. Two of the trusts have submitted accounts to anditors, duly appointed by the court, and those accounts are now on file in the Court of Common Pleas, in Philadel- phia, and are accessible to any of the stockholders, or creditors, who may be desirous of seeing them. - It appears, by the various assignments of the Bank of | the United States, that the sum of $18,500 per annum is allowed in the shape of salaries to trustees alone, viz. “ that the commissions charged by or allowed to the three (rustees designated in the indenture of assign- ment of June 7, 1941, shall not exceed one per cemum upon the amount collected, nor amount to more than two thousand dollars in any one year to each trustee ;” and that there shall be included, to be charged by, and allowed to, the three assignees first mentioned in the indenture of assignment of September 4, 1841, the an- aual sum of fifteen hundred dollars each ; and to be charged by, and allowed to, the two assignees last men- | tioned, in the said indenture of assigament of September 4th, 1841, respectively, the annual sum of four thousand dollars cach, amounting to the sum of eighty-four thou- sand five hundred dollars, or thereabouts, since the date and acceptance of said assignments, exclusivo of what has been allowed to clerks and solicitors. In consideration of these and other facts, it was re solved that the board of directors be instructed to apply to the trustees, to ascertain the number and salaries of Persons appointed or employed by the trustees respec: tively ; and whether the continuance of so many per- sons, at such high salaries, is necessary or esggntial to 6 annus) amount of salaries cannot be redaced ; and that said committee be authorised by the stockholders respect- fally to call upon the trustees, and request from them an exhibit, showing the different securities held by this bank, in detail, the domestic indebtedness, with particu- lars, banks, &c. It was also resolyed—that the president and directors of the United States Bank be requested to report to the stockholders, at their next meeting, to be held egroeable to adjournment, on— The present condition of the bank, and the 8 of the trustees of the four assignments, viz.— lay 1, June 7, and September 4 and 7, 1841.

The Ultimatum of the British Minister—The Tariff | and Mr. Pakenham. A most provoking typographical error occurs in | my letter in last Friday’s Herald, whieh it is neces- In that part of it, after | having quoted language used by the English minis- try towards this country, and which has found its way here 1n letters from London, I am made to say, | “Such is the language of her minister to private | persons here ;” whereas, it should have been, “ Such 1s the language of her ministers, sent to pri- vate persons here.” The letter “ s,” and the word “ sent,” are omitted, making the sense the very dif- ' ferent of what I intended it should have been. | Inorder to show that this was so, while writing | the passage in which the error occurs, I had the fol- lowing language under notice, said to have been | used by Lord Aberdeen, and transmitted from Lon- | don to this city by the last steamer :—‘* By God, we will make the Americans bite the dust this time, as we are determined not to submit to their bullying any longer.” It is clear, therefore, 4 - ham was not even thought of in the at all; and I deem it necessary to correct the mistake at once, lest either he or any one else might sup- pose ee reference to him, and had done it inten- tionally. The’ Union has again undertaken to deny that the British minister has made his ultimatum, as stated by me, in the same communication, as well, also, as my declaration thathe had asked for a co) Walker's repert, while in the office of the of Mr. latter, on the day announced ; and then very ve- | ly concludes by saying, “There is not a syllable of truth in the whole story.” | With respect io the “ultimatum,”] my Hanguage | was, “Jt is thought the British munister made his wl- timatum a te T did not state positively, and of my own knowledge, such to be the fact, but it was | the belief of those who knew that the Cabinet was | in eession until neax 11 o’elock that night, that Mr. Pakenham had made it; for he was with Mr. Bu- chanan an hour in the State Department that after- noon ; and soon after the Cabinet was called to- | gether, or rather about 8 o’clock, a very unusual | circumstance, and one which would not have oc- | curred ifsomething of a very extraordinary nature | had not transpired. In further coafirmation of this, the general impression among well informed per- sons, on Thursday last, wes, and up to this time, is, that the danger to the continuance of peace is ten- told greater than what I have represented it to be ; and, moreover, the causes generally assigned for this state of things by many of the President’s | friends, are the unauthorized articles which appear- |edin the Union some time ago, claiming the “whole of Oregon or none.” F There is not a shadow of doubt that the adminis- tration is overwhelmed in difficulties growing out | of this question, and that if Mr. Pakenham has not | sent in his ultimatum, it is so much like it, that the | eee peace here say that war with England is inevitable. | With regard to that part of the Union's disclaimer | about Mr Walker giving the British Minister a copy | of his report, before it was officially sent into Con- gress, I doubt very much whether it has the authori- | ty of the Secretary of the Tiere meping j ‘tht Mr. Pakenham was in Mr. Walker's office about the time named in my letter, (not having a file of the Herald, 1 cannot refer to the date,) is a fact that Mr. Walker, 1 know, won’t deny; and that the | British Minister saw the report lying on his table and asked him for a copy of it, which was given, is another fact that will not be demed by him. Indeed, the ehcajet in ie Revie os ae 7 ek aa | more Patriot, of last Saturday, cont the same thing which I have mad, admits that Mr. | Pak had sent to the Union office for a copy | of it, the next day ‘after its publication. ‘This also | may be true. ButI will ask the Union what could \ have been Mr. Pakenham’s business with Mr. | Walker for four or five hours on a stretch, if it were | not that they were coneerned in conning over tl | contents of the report in which he took so mueh in- and of having obtained the copy which he | afterwards sent to England? I hardly think that | Mr. Pakenham has been ia the Treasury building | since the time I had the honor of making his visit | there public in the Herald ; and, if not, it seems con- clusive that it was during that visit that he saw the | Secretary’s report and asked for a copy of it. he been there since, I think 1 should have known tt. a Thave the highss- respect, personally, for the gon uctors of e government or ny put | contess that Thave lost a large share’ of confidence in either its statements or disclaimers, from the tact | of the many mistakes, on lnpeetaat iblic matters, | int» whien it has recently fallen. m are human, | and cannot at all times hit the head of the nail. So with conductors of newspapers. I shall not notice the last part of the Union's article on my assertion that the British government will not surrender a foot of territory north of the Columbia, without a | struggle, as it only “‘ presumes ” that thatjis not so. Its presumption from the beginning of this adminis- | tration, hasbeen of that character, that it has pub- | lished leading articles, on leading measures, which have been contradicted, by authority, even in the Se- | nate chamber. I would have referred to the = es of your Senators, Messrs. Dickinson Diz, | haere items Ithe aoe 1 utes | thing of them now, as they have been fo beters the country.
