It will be | recollected that hostilities broke oft between the | United States and Mexico in May last, some six moxths before Mr. Polk sent for Mr. Benton. Now, can it be supposed for a moment that the | President and his cabinet, and General Scott, and General Taylor, had not, before the month of November, fixed upon any plan of conducting the campaign—that they were, in fact, all in the dark on the subject, and knew not how to pro- ceed; and in the emergency called in the aid of | Mr. Benton, and immediately devoured his sug- | gestions?

We shall now briefly state the circumstances that led to this eorrespondence, and believe that but one opinion can be formed concerning the conduct of the Chamber of Commerce.

The Peruvian and Chilian papers are filled with European extracts relative to the Flores expedi- tion, to which most undue importance is attach- ed by the people. As our advices from Europe show the whole affair to be blighted in the bud, we will merely give the opinion of President Bulnes, of Chili, and ,the action of Congress thereon. We translate from a message dated Nov. 10th, at Santiago.

His bra- very, cool judgment, and superior military at- tainments, endeared him to us so much, that on | every occasion, we were the foremost to “ sound his triumphs, and proclaim his victories.” Our astonishment at seeing this letter in print, can be therefore imagined; and it was with feelings of regret that we felt ourselves bound to condemn its appearance in public. We doubt very much if its publication will not elicit more surprise from General Taylor himself, than it has from any one else, We sce it statedgin several journals that this let- ter was addressed to Gen. Gaines, and by him given to the press. This we cannot very well be- lieve. We can never suppose thata military man, especially one whose reputation is so eminent as Gen. Gaines’, would either betray the confidence reposed in him by a brother soldier by giving to the public a letter intended for his eye alone, or so far injure the interests of his country as to publish the epimion of an officer relative to the plan of the | campaign, that would enable the enemy to defeat all our exertions to bring him to terms. Wecan- not believe that the old veteran, Gaines, or any other true military man, had any thing to do with its publication. Theatricals. Panx Turatnx.—Thero is a tremendously strong bill atthe Park theatre this evening, as our readers will per: ceive by reading the regular advertisement in another column. Mr. Collins, in addition to ether characters, will appear as Folix O’Brien, in a new one act farce entitled “The Wife Hunters; or, The Irishman’s Umbrella.”— This piece was written for Mr. Collins by an esteemed friend of his in London, whose talent as a dramatist is widely known. It was designed to afford Mr. Collins an opportunity of exercising his talent more to Faas oe than he could in any piece usually performed Irish comedians, and is entirely new to the Ame! san public. It is fall of polots, ‘wit. end humor, and we should say is destined to make a tremen- dous hit. We have not had anew Irish piece on the stage, and the desire and anxiety to see understand, intense. This is a very judicior ment of Mr. Collins. Power, himself, when alive, some- times found great difficulty in being obliged eternally to travel over the old beaten ground, and endeavored to avoid it by producing something new. We all with what success his new pieces were overfiewing hor ttended nightly Mr. Collins has hit upon the same plan, not the experiment will be attenued with equal success. In addition to the ‘‘ Wife Hunters,” Mr. Collins will ap- pear as Capt. O'Neil, in the comedy of “ King O’Neil,” and also in the farce of “How te pay the Rent.” We notice that the Italian Dancers are engaged, ‘and will ap- ine on Monday. It has been asked why the young in dy who was co well receive rst appearance since, has not Boweay Turatne.—Wo had a repetition last evening of the opera of the “ Mountain Maid or Swiss Swains,” «Tho Married Bachelor,” and the “ Wizard of the Wave.” Miss Mary Taylor, as Rosette, in th: Maid, sang “ There’s no place like my ow: “The Mountain Maid,” in which she was raptureusly applauded. Her acting was excellent, ond she was well eee by Mr. Hunt as Walter.

Travian Orera.—To-night “ Lucia di Lammermoor” will be performed for, we believe, the last time,and as we learn that Signorina Barili is entirely recovered from her temporary indisposition, we may expect to hear it given with moro than usual power.

However, knowing that there are many persons in the United States, in Europe, and in all parts of the world, who are ever anxious to hear about such matters, Thave taken poins to give to your widely circulated journal a faithful report of the affair, beheving/it the best ‘medium for transmitting sperting intelligence to all lovers of such information. ‘The fight was between Chris.

According to the latest official roturns of all the banks in the United States, the aggregate amount of specie on hand was only $42 012,095. It therofore appears, that if the tide of precious metals setting this way from Eu- Tope, runs as high as anticipated, the addition to the sup- ply will bs equal to nearly twenty-five per cent. of the aggregate now in the vaults of the baake.

If our eitizens have not already rendered themselves: the subjects of ridicule, inthe absird diflculties whioh havo attended the construction of a railroad to Albany, ‘wo ere now preparing the ground for a series of follies, which can have no other issue than to expose the com- mercial emporium of America, to tho derision of the whole country. It will scarcely be believed, that the boasted enterprise of New York has been more than fifteen years in con atrueting forty miles of railroad, tothe main sources of her riches, and having arrived at a point where ® very slight effort would secure the completion of the entire route to Albany,a novel project is surreptitiously intro- duced, abandoning the laborious efforts of the past, fora scheme, if not utopian, certainly of the mast dendiful success. It is asad reflection on the wisdom of our citizens, partaking very much of a reckless spirit of listhyss in- difference, that on internal improvement of the grevitett magnitude, a nerthera railroad, essentially necessary to our pormanent prosperity, should be permitted still fo | remain in the miserable, sickly charge ef a direction’ | which appears incompetent to comprehend the state of | public opinion, or the importance of the responsibility | thoy have vainly assumed to discharge. The low credit to which the Hurlem hes now fallen, seems to have closed tho door to public confidence; and, asa natural consequence, capitalists who have not the leisure and are unwilling to mix with dishonored com cerns, will not attempt to discriminate botwoen the mis- | fortunes of the enterprise and the gross mismanagemont of those who merely claim to be its exclusive patrons — | For the public, this is a most unhappy atate of feeling— | it suspends enlightened energy, and surrenders an invol uable improvement tothe most dubious destiny. In ‘answer to the repeated inquiries,why have not the direo. tors resigned? we are now authorized to remark, that conscious of their unpopularity they havo offered to ra tire, if a profitable bargain can bo negotiated, and but fer he recent concealment of important embarrassmonts’and legal isabilities, the whole concern would at this mo- ment have been in the hands of gentlemen, genorally | esteemed competent and abovestock gambling. But | be this ae it may, one thing is most certain, the affairs of the company are daily becoming more involved. As long ai the present members hold citice, the Harlem railroad will continue an imposition on the public expectation, and the constant fruitful source of preposterous, silly, projects, and the most discroditable chimerical under takings. It is a mattor of public notoriety, an affair of historic truth, that the best engincers, engaged in ascertaining which would be the most elegible line for a railwsy , have selected the inland routs, now occupied by the Harlem; and yet, we flad the deliberate decision of these sciontific practical gentlemen coutemned, by the getters up of the new project, as totally unworthy of serious re pect; and our citizens are thus unscrnpulously called e+ to endorse with their capital, this absurd imposition oa their ignerance. Tho Harlem road is now in progress of extension» wanting little more than the superstructure for ten to becomplete to Somers, when the finished dis- tance from New York willbe fifty four miles; and, with the slightest energy, it might be extended to that impor” tant point by the month of May. A portion of this road | has no ruperior, and the income is not inferior to most others in the United States, The curves are genorally free, the grades are light; and crossing no navigable | waters requiring draw bridges, the travel may be at the | highest speed, with the least porsible danger. The com” | puny is relieved from a heavy expense, by the gratuitous concession “of a right of way; and the soll, le ing easily worked, the road cau be constructed with tho greatest rapidity ; and whenever the pressure of business requires the accommodation of additional tracks, they can be made without much expense, exclusive of the ne- cossary outlay for the superstructure, In thus liberally presenting tho advantages of the Har. Jom road, we are actuated by the parest spirit for im- provement, desirous of disalvusing the public mind by giv- ing correct and reliable information which we do not hy si tate tosay, that, notwithstending the superiority of the road, for al! purposes incident to a ralway, these advan. tages can prove of no material impoitinoe to the incum- bent directors.
