Our correspondent at Albany has transmitted to us copies of the correspondence between the Hon. Siias Wright and the Hon. Wm. L. Marcy, upon the subject of the organization of the Cali- fornia regiment. It willbe found on the outside of this day’s Herald. In this correspondence is disclosed the whole history of the regiment; together with the views | elaborately expressed, of Ex-Gov. Wright, and of his section of the democratic party, including Martin Van Buren and tail, upon the question of the conqnest or appropriation of Mexican territory. It is, indeed, an extraordinary correspondence. Hasty Notes of Travel by Mrs. J. G. B. Panis, January 20, 1847. My Dear Map. Ihave been very badly employed since I last wrote you. The gayeties and frivolities of Paris have principally occupied my time. Balls, par- ties, and the opera have been the chief amuse- ments for the lasttwo weeks. But some of the most remarkable and most magnificent scenes which 1 have ever witnessed have been displayed at the Palace of the Tuilleries.— ‘The week before last I had the honor of be- ing presented to his Majesty Louis Philippe, and to allthe royal family, including the celebra- ted Infanta of Spain, now Duchess de Montpen- ier. She is decidedly the most beautiful among them; and if France and England go to war out this marriage, it ought to last as long as the Trojan war did about the beautiful Melen. There were six or seven saloons thrown open, all of them most brilliantly lighted. The hour of assembling was eight, but such was the anxiety to procure seats that the rooms were crowded at seven. About nine we were all put in regular rank and file, the gentlemen in the centre and the ladies on each side. The King then passed glown, with his aids-de-camp, | Thad a little | saying something to each person conversation with him about steam navigation. | He asked me whether I crossed in a steamer or | sailing vess I replied, ina steamer. And he said I must be a woman of courage. I felt very much inclined to tell him that I had display- ed acts of more courpge than in crossing in a steamer. Then the Queen passed, with that beautiful litde creature, leaning on her arm, attended by her maids of honor, and also saying something polite to every body. Aiter her the princesses followed, with their maids of honor; all these dressed alike, | in very pale crimson velvet, trimmed with lace. They were also very affable, but nothing to be compared in point of beauty and grace with the Dachess de Montpensier. The Infanta’s dress was very simple and beau- titul—a pink satin, with lace flounces, and her fine glossy black hair completely studded with the largest and most beautiful diamonds, which added mgst charmingly to her beauty. I really fear Mr. Bennett has lost his heart, and can never write another line for his paper, he has been so captivated by her charms. Her beauti- ful timidity of manner and extreme youth attract every body. The toilette of the ladies in general was very | magnificent, and presented the greatest quantity of lace and diamonds I ever saw. There wasa little Prussian princess pointed out to me who had been married forfour years, and | supposed she was a little girl ; her hair was cut quite short, and curled all over. She wore a white lace dress over white satin, looped up all round with dia- monds—the sleeves in the same manner, and a | simple black ribbon tied round her arm, with out ten or twelve large diamonds attached to it, She was altogether the most perfect little bijou Lever looked at, 1 met the same fairy-like little creature at Mr. Guizot’s. It would take pages to describe the beauty | and elegance of tthe dresses, and even then ju tice could not be dome to them. The Ameri- cans, after the French, were decidedly the best dressed, and the most distingué. ‘The gentlemen are not presented the first night, they only go in attendance on the ladies. night of their presentation they go alone, in all their glory. I think [ must let you into the secret of the gen- tlemen’stoilet on their presentation. Alter Louis Philippe’s accession to the throne, the Amer- ican gentlemen were all presented at court in the ordinary ball dress, plain black clothes and pumps; but in process of time it was conceived at the American embassy that a little gold lace would be an improvement, so thatevery gentle- man now is obliged to go in a court dress or mili- tary uniform: Mr. B., holding a commission as Adjutant General in the Mormon Legion, was thinking of appearing in that uniform, but changed his mind, fearing that the king might question him on his military tactics; he was there- fore obliged to have resort to hired garments, more commonly called old clo’, as was the case with masy more gentlemen who had not time to have anew suit made, and who also do not wish to go to such expense but for two nights. They have shops here where those court dresses are hired out for so much a night, varying from 26 to 30 francs each time. | thought I should have died \aughing when Mr. B. tried on the first coat—two men of his size could have got into it with ease; and the marchand kept continually saying ‘ Oh! e’est charmant, cest{charmant ;” then he tried on another, and that was as bad in another way, for it was so tight that every move he gave some- thing would give way; and I feared if he kept the tight one, that on being presented to his majesty and bowing down very low, that the coat might explode, and then what a predicament for a Gen- eral in the Mormon Legion! Tue Taree Mintion Brut ann Senator Davis,— The Three Million Bill drags its length along slowly in the Senate. As there are only a few days more of the session, its fate will soon be known, Senator Davis, it will be recollected de- feated the two million bill, which was introduced for the same purpose at the last session, by talk- ing against time. We believe that he has not yet spoken on this bill, and we should not be sur- prised were he to defeat it the same way ashe did the other. the Infanta, | The | | Asaicax Rutizy yor Ingtaxp ann ScoTLann. —The following is the amount of the subserip- | tions for the relief of the starving people of | Ireland angi Scotland, as far as they have come | toour knowledge :— SUBSCRIPTIONS IN AMERICA FOR THK RELIEF OF IRELAND s838E8 2 ebseeee eee $141,666 ‘Total as far as heard from. . .. | The enterprising manager of the Bowery thea- | tre, Mr. Jackson, in a spirit that does him honor, has set apart the whole of to-night’s receipts, de. | ducting expenses, for the same object.

Those who have not yet subscribed for the destitute, had better look at the illustration of a burial scene in Ireland, which we give in the Weekly Herald to-morrow. | Anotugr Syow Storm.—The snow, which had well nigh left us on Tuesday, commenced to fall again on Wednesday night and kept up a merry pelting until quite late yesterday afternoon, so we are once more in the enjoyment of excellent sleighing, which is being improved to the utmost. It is not quite so cold as it was on Wednesday, | yet cold enough to preserve the snow from thaw- | ; and young men and maidens, widows, | wives, husbands, fathers, belles and beaux, in all | sorts of comfortable attire, are making the very most of the glorious, but necessarily short lived | “spell of sleighing.” We find we are by no means alone in eur winter sports.

Some delays have occurred to the mails on the Eastern routes. | The following extracts will show something Hiou Rares or Fartonre.—The of vessels, and the high rates of freight, at the pre- sent time, are attracting the attention of all clas- ses ; but it appears that freights at this port have been higher, much higher, than they are now.

The new ship Consti- tution, just sailed for Liverpool, is fifteen bun- dred tons in size. Theatricals.

To-night, the proceeds of the evening will be presented by the manager in aid of the fund for the relief of the Irish poor. A very at- tractive bill is put forth. Bowery AmruitHeatre.—The attractions here still continue to draw full and crowded houses nightly, and the astonishing feats of May Fly, the dancing poni and Cinderella, have been nightly received with most unbounded applau: ‘The extraordinary riding of Master Hernandez—in consideration of his extreme youth—may be considered a feature of attraction in the rand it nightly take place here, which ‘e would remind those who circus, that the stay of Messrs. nd the dancing of May 0 pony races, indepen- , will amply repay a visit to tertainment is presented to the public, this evening, for the benefit of a gentleman well known to the public, as the caterer for their amusement, for many years, in this how the weather was at the time of writing, in the severai places dated from :— | [From the Boston Courier, February 24] The storm of Sunday and Monday hes sadly disai ranged oll our mails, ae it extended bey ond all the points | with which we have communication.

Are there not men engaged in these wire breaking enterprises, whe would start | | at the idea of being called thieves, and yet how | much less criminal are hundreds of the larcenists | who fill our penitentiaries, than these traffickers | | in starvation. | The Rochester Daily Advertiser of Monday, says :— if any set of men ever had good cause for complaint, | | we think it is the editors ani publish long the line of the telegraph, not of the operators, but of the miscreants who interrupt the regular communication.

The passengers who left Boston on Monday after- | noon, came through to Providence with but little delay, that read having been kept clear of snow. After arriving at the Providence depot of the Sto- nington Kailroad, the passengers were kept near- ly twelve mortal hours before the cars got ready to start; and seven hours more before they reached Greenwich, a distance of only thirteen miles, without any thing to eat or drink except snow most of the time, till a few daring adventurers, led by Mr. George W. Williamson, leftthe cars, and after visiting several farm houses, returned with divers great quantities of gingerbread, le- mons, and fried pies, | The cars arrived at Stonington about 6 P.M. ‘Tuesday, and the passengers came to this city in the steamer Massachusetts, which returned on the arrival of the cars from Boston. | ‘Tue Surrertnes in IRELAND.—Rev.

Tue Coneznt of Mavame Asuamowicz.—The nu- merous audience attracted tothe Tabernacle on Tues- day evening, by the concert of Madame Ablamowicz, must have remunerated her very handsomely for the trouble and expense necessarily incurred in collecting such varied and brilliant talent. Certainly no concert this season has presented a more powerful array of names, or a selection better entitled) to public ftavor.— Now that the last concert of this lady is over, and so suc- cessfully over, we trust we shall be deemed disinterest ed if we state our candid impressions with regard to the position she occupied as a cantatrice of the first order.— indiscriminate praise is as unjustifiable as sweeping cen interests of art demand that merits of order be fully examined and assigned The sudden appearance et in pproach unheralded mament, rising by the pr trength of her own genius, u pported by the influence of those cliques and factions which sometim te the musical world, ur that part of it which belongs to York, all this was calculatei to blind the public f time to her extraordinary morits, but now that she more known, a just appreciation is sure to follow, and public opinion will assuredly award her her proper ravk, Ablamowicz sung on Tu ning, Italian cavatinas, German and Engl ngs.
