“New York, Friday, June 11, 1847. _ Important from Mexico. Our readers will find on the first page of this day’s Herald some very interesting intelligence from the city of Mexico. ‘The Political Quarrel in Albany. It is amusing to witness the quarrel which has been going on forsome time past, between the Argus and Atias factions of the locofoco party in Albany. The old Albany Regency, or Kitch- en Cabinet, has exploded, and the individuals composing it are arrayed against each other, and belaboring each other, with the heart- iest good will. Like all battles between poli- ticians, the loaves and fishes are the cause of this emuete, and unless the cravings of some of the lean kind be satisfied, the results will be the same as followed from the celebrated fight that took place between the Kilkenny cats. The latest cause of difficulty between the two factions, grew out of the re ent judicial election, and the war of words is waged with tremendous fury through the columns of the Atlas and Ar- gus, the organs of the two factions, Both ac- cause each other of exerting fitself to defeat the regul*riy nominated candidates; both deny and retort the charge. The following is a specimen of the weapons used in the fight:— Here is one from the Argus:— “ All the assertions, insinuations and surmises in the tls, 90 far us my name is connected with them, are false and calumnious.”” June 9, 1847. ROBERT D. WATSON. Now comes the Atlas :— “ All the assertions, insinuations, and surmises in the Argus of this morning. so far as my name is connected with them. are false and calumaious.”’ June 8, 1847, A. C. FLAGG. Another shot from the Argus—a six-pounder: “Tn shameful violation of their written stipulations to print only one demoeratic ticket, and their empty rofessions of a desire of harmony, the partisans of ems BE. Joho Buren & Co., stood at every poll inthe city, and peddied and urged the followin ticket—and were more noisy and im ‘ate in their forts than the whigs thempelves.”’ An escopette ball from the Atlas :— ‘The assertions in the virgus of this morning that “ Mr. voted the ticket omitting the names of the two regularly nominated candidates for Supreme Judges” andthe naime of Mr. Blanchard for Surrogate; that he ‘was “cognizant of the proposition made by Cagger & Co.,” or, for the printing of tickets in any form; or that he knew that " Cagger had signed a written stipulation to carry out his own proposition;”” or that he affirmed all or anything stated by the Argus in relation to this ‘matter, i false and calnumnious. June '9, 1847. Now comes the Argus’ turn:— “No one cau doubt for a single moment, that Mr. Flagg and John Van Buren control the Caggers and Cassidys here, and that they und the employées on the Canal and elsewhere. under their immediate direction, do their bid- ding implicitly, At the polls in this city and county, these iustruments were at work—they distributed and urged the ticket with four whigs upon it for the highest district and county offices—they did not even attempt to conceal it—John Van Buren was at the polls encouraging his agents in these efforts for the success of the whig can- didates, in the hope and for the purpose of defeating the democratic nominees. We have no doubt, it the fact could be ascertained, even if he shall deny it, that he vot- ed the whig candidates.” Now a rocket from the Atlas :— “The Albany 2rgus is engaged in an amusing and cha- racteriatic effort to divert public attention from its un- principled efforts to defeat Mr. Henry Hogeboom. ‘The above false statements in regard tome is a part of the A. C, FLAGG. labor. 1 never saw such a ticket ns it describes, before the closed ; of course, | neither voted it or desired any to do so. Those whoattach any importance to Mr. Croswell’s statements (I do not), may care t ‘this denial. J. VAN BUREN. J 9, 1847. Hear the Argus again: “Mr. Flagg was also oogaisant offthe proposition made by Cagger & Co. for the mutual withdrawal of candi- dates, and for the printing of all the tickets with the names of Mesars. Litchfield and Werner—he approved of it—he knew that it had been accepted—that Cagger had signed a written stipulation to carry out his own propo- sition—that he and his asscclates, the partizans of Mr. F., had violated that arrangemont, by an exhibition of bad faith unequalled in the history of our polities, by as- saults upon the democratic candidates remaining in the field under this agreement, and by printing tickets, in express violation of such agrecment—and finally Mr. F., while cognizant of these facts, and after affirming, as we are assured by Mr. Werner he did, the truth ofall we had stated in regard to his connection with the matter.voted, as we are informed by an eye-witness, one of the spu- rious .4ifas battots printed in violation of this written agreement.” As the matter now stands, this is a very pretty little quarrel, and unless the bottle holders and seconds of the respective combatants withdraw Tae Warertrc Praces.—The time proaching when our fashionable and wealthy citizens will be on the wing for the several wa- tering places with which our country abounds. In regard to watering places,medicinal springs, &c., &c., the United States is as prolific as it is in every thing esle that contributes to the com- fort and enjoyment of its inhabitants. Nearly every city in the country has a favorite watering in its vicinity, to which the people resort in the summer months, to avoid the heat, dust, turmoil, bricks, mortar and mad dogs of the town. ‘Thither they journey with their families, and by drinking water, bathing,waltzing, driving, danc- ing balling, &e., invigorate their constitutions and promote their health. There is no city in the Union that possesses greater facilities than New York does for reaching the most celebrated watering places. Saratoga, Rockaway, Lake George, Lake Mehepac, Long Branch, New Brighton, Coney Island, Newport, &c. &c., are all within a few hours travel of it, and afford every variety of amusement. Who that has spent atime at Rockaway or Long Branch, has not for hours walked on the sandy shore, and bathed in the surf of old ocean? These are the places where the fullest enjoyment can be had by those who admire the wonderful works of nature displayed on the grandest scale. With the boundless sea before them, and the boundless sky above them, the most obdurate heart is soft, ened, and the most pompous and self-sufficient man humbled. It is here that the angry passion is cooled, and the raan of clay learns a lesson which teaches him what he is. ; To those who love retirement, and who delight in driving and meandering through the woods— Catskill, Niagara, the White Sulphur Springs, in Virginia, the Caledonia Springs, and the numer- ous towns on the Hudson, offer rare attractions. Here, amid the forests of a thousand years, they can commune “with themselves ‘and with all around them, and obtain that quiet and peace which they will in vain seek in the metropolis. The ravines and creeks, the mountain and the valley, the rocks and dells, the growing crops and the bubbling fountains, will provide ample amusement for the mind; while the exercise and bracing air will conduce to the health of the body. Here, too, the disciples of old Walton can amuse themselves in hooking the finny tribe. ™The less fortunate of our citizens—among whom we include the members of the press— those who cannot leave their business and go to Saratoga, can take an excursion to ong Island, Coney Island, New Brighton, &c. &c. We expect that all the watering places will be well patronized this summer. We recommend our readers, before they start on their tour, to look over the advertisements in the Herald, of the hotels at the watering places and on the route thereto. ‘Musical. ( Pane Tueatae.—Verdi’s opera of the “ Two Foscari,”” which was received so well on Wednesday evening will be repeated on Saturday night. Signora Rainierl, whose soprano voice isso rich, and whose tones are so harmo- nious, will perform her part of Lucrezia Conturin!, as- sisted by Perelli, the sweet tenore, and Luigi Vita, the excellent basso cantante. Our readers will be delighted to learn that during one of the entr’ actes, the two maestri. Arditi and Botesini, will execute the admirable duo for the violin (Arditi), and contrabasse (Botesini). called the “Bohemian feast.” We remember the suc- cess and applause which were granted to those eminent artists, when they gave a concert at the Tabernacle, ths ago, and we are therefore desirous to hear ver heard anything equal to the précision of the notes performed upon such # diff- cult instrument as the contrabasso. It is certainly a even wonders of the fashio: suure the gentlemanly ma- nager, José Villarino, that he will see a rush at the doors of the Park theatre this evening. CastLx Ganven.—Boautifal weather to visit this esta- blishment, where every thing conducive to health can be enjoyed—salutary air, rich scenery, splendid music, and the best ice cream, Mr. Davis, the excellent manager of the French Opera company in New Orleans, arrived in town yesterday morning, on his way to France. We thought that we should be favored this year with the visit of his troupe, but this arrangement prevents their comiug to New York. No summer theatre, (like Niblo's Garden.) was ready to receive them. We learn that Mr. Davis is going to France to fill the places of several singers who are a hot entirely worthy of thele position in ‘his company We have heard say, that M’me. Fleuri Joli, the first pri- their principals and propose terms of reconcilia- tion, the probability is that the remnant of the Van Buren Albany regency kitchen cabinet par- ty will be blown sky high. The shrewd and calculating ones of both fac- tions see this plainly, and in order to save their own bacon, they submitted to their respec- tive followers certain propositions to heal the wounds and unite the party under one head, and with one organ. Here are the propositions :-— With a sincere desire to effect a permanent settlement of all the difficulties, and terminate the dissensions which exist between what is called the two sections of the party. not only in this county, but in every other in the State, to a greater or less degree, the undersigned would further propose :— 4th, ‘i hat the Argus and Atlas be united into one pa- r,ons-half to belong to Mr. Croswell and the other aif to Mr. Van Dyck.

If the number of persons named to make tho se- lection be considered too limited, add the Comptroller, Secretary of State, the Treasurer of the State, and Sur- ‘veyor General. JNO. KEYES PAIGE, P. CAGGER, H. H. VAN DYCK. Aupany, May 27, 1847 We do not know whether these propositions have been acceded to or not, but we would be very sorry to see this little quarrel settled so soon. It stands very well as it is. Larter rrom Caraccas.—We are in receipt of files of El Liberal. The latest date we have is of the 15th ultimo. Congress would terminate its session on the 19th, the day which the laws of the constitution fixed as its ultimatum. Few legislative bodies, says El Liberal, have been so laborious or so much occupied with business for the future bene- fit of the republic as thisone has. Some few bills have remained pending in the Senate, for want of time to complete them; but the next ses- sion will doubtless take ample care of the measures necessary for the advance of the country. ‘Wa regret that the incompleteness of our files prevents our giving a list of the more important bills that had passed. The following bills passed a third reading in the Senate, and were returned to the representa- tives: The bill in favor of Mr. Ellis’ project; the agreements between the Venezuelian Execu- tive and American Minister in the case of the brigs Native and Josephine. Mexican Parivareers.—We learn that the steam frigate Princeton is to be immediately despatched to the Mediterrean in quest of the Unico and other Mexican privateers. She will sail about the 16th inet. This is a capital move ment. ‘Tur Steamsair Wasninaton.—The Nantucket Inquirer, of the 9th inst., gives the following additional information relative to the strange steamer seen off that port :— “All we can say is, that a large steamship was anchor- ed off the south side of this island, from Wednesday qrenteg. at about 73s o'clock till past 8 Thursday morn- ing. By request from New York. we went to Sinsconset day, tor the purpore of making inquiries respect- Ie he steamer. and we found that all we had stated in jon to her in Friday's paper was correct. We alzo the one additional particulars, She ap- peared to be v e and high out of water; wie pmated black, with a white streak, and what looked like ‘port-holes ; nud was first seen between reven and eight O'clock in the evening, when she fired reveral guns which were heard at a distance of ix or eight mil No signal for # pilot wasseen.

She will be well received here. Leopold de Meyer, the lion pisnist,the Jupiter Tunans of piano players, goes out passenger, the Philadelphia Gazette says, in the packet ship Saranak, which sails from that port for Liverpool in a few days. His success in this country has been as extraordinary as his play- ing. Vai att Garpen.—The opera serenaders continue their pertormance at Vauxhall They are worth seeing. Camillo Sivori having completed his engagements at St. Louis on the Ist inst., was about to start tor Nash- ville, Tenn, Bowery TusaTne.—Quite an attractive bill will be presented this evening at this favorite theatre. The grand national drama of “Buena Vista and Vera Crue,” will be produced for the second time. Mr. Collins is soon to appear upon the boards of the Walnut street theatre, Philadelphia. Dan Marble {s doing the Yaukce with great success at St. Louis, It in said that the Boston Theatre has been leased for a term of years, by Mr. C. R. Thorne, formerly of the National." The houre is to be improved, and thoroughly renovated before its opening. Jim Crow Rice has been re-engaged at Buffalo, where Mr. Wallack, Miss Barnes, Mr. Collins, and Mr. Booth are to follow in succession. Gabriel Ravel took a farewell benefit at Cincinnati, on the evening of the Sth instant. Mrs. Mowatt and Mr. Davenport had not left Cin- cinnati on the 5th inst. City Intelligence. “Tuem Whirs."—We understand that the “ Bay State” carried two whips on her last trip out of New York, but lost the fun of using them, for she got badly whipped herself. The Oregon was seven minutes— equal to two miles and « half—ahead of the Bay State, when she met the C. Vandervilt from Stonington. The Oregon averaged nineteen revolutions a minute, and from a gentleman who was on board the Bay State, we learn that she was crowded to the utmost ail the way This is the first instance, we believe, where two whips, or even one, have been carried by the slowest boat — The Oregon made the passage to Stonington that night in six hours and ten minutes, twenty minutes less than ever before made. ‘Tur Weatnen.—Yesterday was decidedly the hottest day of th . The thermometer, at 1 o'clock, stood ‘at 84 degrees in Wall street, and rose higher in parts of the city.

Henry Wheaton had returned to the United States, after an absence of some twenty years, during which period he filled various diplomatic offices in Europe, his fellow- citizens of New York embraced the opportunity afforded by his presence in the city/and tendered to him a public dinner 4s an expression of their appreciation of the uble manner in which he has discharged the various duties imposed upon him. The dinner took place last evening at the New York Hotel, where about thre hundred guests sat down to a sumptuous repast prepared after the mode of that excel- lent house. ‘The dining room was handsomely decorated and set out with three tables, two extending nearly the whole length of the room, and one, at the head of the room, extended across it and raised upon a platform. At this table sat the distinguished guest of the evening Hon, Albert Galatin, who presided, Hon. Luther Bradish, Rev. Dr. Wainwrigh, Mayor Brady, and several officers of the army and navy, and other distinguished citizens. Among the gentlemen present, we noticed, besides the gentlemen above named, Judge Duer, Judge Ulshoeffer, Charles O’Conor, H. E. Davies, John Slosson, Hon: Frederick Talmadge, J. W.

Albert Gallatin, the chairman, having retired, made some appropriate remarks in introducing Mr. Wheaton to his fellow countrymen, who now returns, as the speak- er remarked, after an absence of nearly twenty years. He alluded to the literary labors of Mr. Wheaton, ss well as his services as judge of the Supreme Court of the United States. His services abroad, he said, were made valuable by his knowledge of the languages of the countries of Eu- rope They were valuable, and were «xercised for tho benefit of his beloved country; his abilities gained him aready access to the halls of the literati of Euro He classed together, in happy companionship, the nam of Wheaton, Irving, Everett, &e., and concluded by of- fering the health of Henry Wheaton—“We welcome him to our home and our hearts.” ‘This sentiment was drunk standing, and Mr Wueaton, in reply, said that no language could be adequate to express the grateful and intense feeling which he felt for the kind and flattering? manner in which he had been received by his friends and fellow citizens of the adopted city of his choice. (Applause.) The remarks concerning him which had dallen from the chair so very much transcended his merits. that he found it difficult to make areply, All that he could justly claim in regard to his public services, is that he has endeavored to avail himself of opportunities which he thought were greater than were accorded to almost any other man. In reference to the missions of public ministers, he would remark, that the general opin; ion is a mistaken one, inasmuch as it is thought that di- plomacy must necessarily be accompanied by duplicity and craft. ‘That isa wrong opinion. On the contrary. | believe (eaid he) that truth and honor are the most ef. featual, as I believe they are the most honorable, insti ments that can be effectually used in diplomacy. Poti Fraise In- stances proving the truth of this remark can be found ¢verywhere, and | will refer you to one which is strik- ingly illustrative of what I have | have said—that one in the case of Sir William Temple and Mr. Clinton, who, after «few hours, settled terms between Great Bri- tain and Holland, and formed a compact of allianee be- tween the-two countries. [ can mention another in- stance which came under my own observation—which was the settlement of the difficulty between the United States and England on the Oregon questio: question which at one time wore a very serious aspect, and threat- ened to embroil two of the most powerful and most civilized nations of the world in all the horrors of war. in the negotiation that ensued between the agents of the two governments, the honor and confidence which each placed in the other, brought that negotiation to « buppy snd honorable close. In regard to what your President has been pleased to say concernin; imy works on public law, I can only say that am too much flattered. I must remark, however, in re- gard to it, that nations have duties as well as’ rights, and it is no more than right that those duties should be inculcated. if you examine the historical documents of the United States, | am sure you will find that they abound with instances of the kind I have alluded to— where the honor and confidence of our ministers have been implicitely relied upon. ‘Tho pleasure which I feel on this occasion, which I can assure you 4 one which 1 shall lopg remember, is greatly heightened by the great and favorable change which has taken place since | was among you. Thearts and appliances of civilized life have, 1 perceive, made # most rapid progress—-every where I see around me the marks of progression One of your works, which particularly attracted my attention, was the Croton aqueduct—the most expensive work of the kind in this country; but when we consider it was un- dertaken by a single city. it is greater than any thing that was undertaken by Rome in her palmiest days.— Cheers.) Mr. Wheaton then referred to the impor- tance of oc ation. On his arrival. he witnessed tl American ocean steamships, proud he was at the beautiful sented. The ceiveda good ‘attention from him,and knowing the importance of it to the United Statestin a naval and commercial point of view, he directed several letters to the government on the subject. While on th: he would direct the attention of those who hear to the proposed project of connecting the Atlantle and the Pacific Oceans, in such a manner as would hereafter prevent the necessity of making a detour around Cape Horn. In his opinion the time is not far distant when negotiations on that subject will be commenced and the work carried out ‘fo an American abroad the most disagreeable thing that can occur is the mention of repudiation. This charg Is frequently brought against many States of the Union, but he was happy to say that the State of New York was never mentioned in connection with such a disagreeable subject. (Applause.) Mr. Wheaton then referred to the great changes which are going on in Ger- many—the country in which the art of printing was commenced—the country from which “thought” was carried on wings to all parts of this country—the coun} try which brought forth the lights of religion—a coun- try Inhabited by a most intelligent people—a people of patient and constant industry—a people of rare intel- lectual endowments—a people from whom has been de- rived a great part of our own population of this cit; land which is adorned with three or four republics, the remnant of the Hangeatic League. It has always’ ap- peared to him that the name of the city of New Amster- dam would be a much better name for this city than that which it is now known by. He thought the name of New Aimsterdam would be much better. In conclusion, ho would, therefore, give as a toast : “New Amsterdam — Peace within its walls and prosperity within its palaces.”” ‘The Chairman then alluded to the events which re- contly occurred in Prussia, particularly the granting of the new constitution by Prince Frederick William the 4th, from which he augured the happiest results to the future liberties of that country, and gave the following toast :-- “The 11th of April—We hail it as the dawn of con- stitutional liberty in Germany ; may ite meridian be as brilliant as its dawn is auspicious.” To this the Prussian Minister replicd in » happy and appropriate strain.

Mr. Wheaton has been long abroad, in the public ser- vioe, and I have enjoyed some means of knowing tho manner in which he has discharged his duties, derived from official situation. I concur entirely with those who now propose to manifest towards him their respect, that he has done honor to the country, as well as to himself, by his literary productions, and ‘more especially by t! knowledge which he has evinced of the public 1aw of the world, and of the rights and interests of nations. On his return to us he well deserves such tokens of regard as that which is now offered him. 1 am, sir, with respect, Your obedient servant, DANL.

He con- eluded his remarks with the following sentiment :— “Hugo Grotiua, and the school he founded—America has furnished; a disciple worthy the teacher and the science which he founded.” Ex mayor Havemrven delivered a fw pertinent re- marks in reply to the preceding toast, and gave as asen- timent: “Commerce, the parent of civilization. He sae aera ich eorera Coe interoourss between, Dac es which govern the intercour: tions whieh it creates, benefits not only # class, but all amankind.”’ e Mr. Ginano then rose, and made one of his peculiarly happy after-dinner speeches, full of wit and humor. He raid that on meeting with their distinguished guest “the light of other days.” had been most vividly reealied. He asked if he (Mr Wheaton) remembered when before 4 small institution called the * New York Forum” he and some thirty or forty other youthful aspirants exhibited themselves for the small stipend of six cents each visit- ? (Laughter and cheers.) Did he remember the audience then collected to listen to his opening address in that meeting place in Fulton street, long since razed and buried from their view? je then happily alluded to the feme which many of the youth- ful asseciates of their guest hi attained, and also referred to the full representation of all @ professional and business pursuits of the city at that welcome house, ‘The clergy, the bar, and the bench were there. There were judges, it, present, and to come; (much laughter) and Judges who would gladly have been numbered, but were not amongst those who were to come. (More laughter.) ‘There were mer- chants and also men of war, so that the clergy and the men of war had laid. down together. (Laughter and cheers.) The press was also there—and here he paid a handsome compliment tothe great bulwark of ular liberty, although he confessed no little alarm in old- ing those “chiels amang them,” deliberately ‘takin’ notes.” (Laughter.) He then alluded to the great ad- vance in the prosperity of the country, and concluded by giving : “ Soldiers nad Dplmetite--ste. ae of four ttles—a man great for his. prow ut ter for Bi isorettoe,” whieh wae’ fisean’ with pubes ops plause. Mr. Brapisu then propoeed “New York and the Chief jagistrate,”” ‘To which his Honor the Mayor responded ina few happy remarks, concluding with the following senti- ment: “International Law—Rightly written and rightly interpreted, the great conservator of peace throughout the world—honor to its illustrious expounder, our ho- nored guest.’? Drank with great enthusiasm. The Vice Presidents were then called upon, and Dr. Francis and D.C. Counex, Eaq., responded in a few brief remarks. Dr. Francis gave : “We rejoice to inscribe on the tablet which bears the names of Marshall, Spencer, &e., the name.of Henry Wheaton;” and Mr. Corpen gave—" The Army of the United States."’ Mr. Jar then proposed—“ James Kent, the Blackstone of America,” which was drunk with all the honors. D. D. Fiero, £xq., then gave the concluding toast— “ Woman, fair, and gentie woman,” which was drunk with enthusiasm, and the company separated. ‘The Judicial Election Returns, COURT OF APPEALS.

Quotations for stocks continue to steadily advance, and the transactions continue large, At the first board, to-day, Long Island went up 34 per cent; Canton X; Il- linois Bank}; Harlem %; Morris Canal ; Stonington 1; Reading 1; East Boston 1; North American Trust } Indiana 2; Illinois 334; Penn. 6’s 2; Farmers’ Loan, U.S. Bank, and Erio Raitroad, closed at yesterday’s prices, At the second board there was a slight reaction, and Prices fell off a fraction, but the sales were very limited, showing that there was no disposition to part with their stocks at the ruling rates. Under the existing state of the money market, we think there must be an upward tendency in prices, and such appears to be the general impression. ‘We have an announcement to make in relation to the Hudson River railroad, which will astonish a few. That company have itincontemplationto abandon the road al- together. Wo have not learned all the particulars, bet the principal difficulty is, the impossibility of obtatning the right of way. The matter will be determined upon in the course of s week or two. We anticipated diffi- culties of this nature at the commencement of the movement, and it appears the company have not been able to remove them. The idea of lining the banks of such a river as the Hudson with a railroad, and shuttin, in the inhabitants of all the coves and bays, with bridges, in perfectly preposterous. The receipts of the Madison and Indiawapolis Rail- road for May 1847 were $12,196,192, against $6,605,41 for the same month in 1846, showing an increase of $5,900 71, being an increase equal to 86 per cent. Spurious ten dollar bills of the Adams Bank, Mass., are in circulation. The Portland and Saco Railroad Company have de- clared a dividend of three dollars per share. Counterfeit $5’s on the Lafayette Bank of Cincinnati, have made their appearance, They are 0 well engraved and so perfect an imitation of the genuine note of that denomination, as to defy detection in the ordinary pass- ing of money from hand to hand in business operations. This counterfeit is also in circulation at Pittsburgh. ‘Two of the notes taken in that city were dated Novem- bor, 1847, and signed George Carlisle, president, and W. G. W. Gano, cashier. A survey of the route for the connection of the Lake Champlainand Connecticut River Ratlroad, with that of the Saratoga, at Fort Ann, is rapidly progressing, and there is no doubt but that the connection will soon be made. ‘The Rutland road is going ahead finely.
