f from Mexico. It will beagen, on reference tothe telegraphic despatches, that some important intelligence, or, rather, rome important rumors, have been re- @ived from Mexico. ‘The Presidential Election—-Movements of the Pulluctans. We have been placed ia possession of informa- tion of considerable interest just now, relative to the politiciams throughout the country, The information is as authentic as anything of the sort can be. We learn that an effort is being made by the old partizans and supporters of Henry Clay to secure his nomination at the next Whig Con- vention, over General Taylor or any other man that may be brought forward. This may Appear strange to the masses of the Ame- tican people, who are thirsting for an opportu- nity to testify their gratitude in the most com- plimentary manner in their suffrage, of the debt they owe General Taylor for so nobly v.n- dicating the honor and glory of the United States, as he did, on the bloody fields of Mexico. It is nevertheless true, and may be relied upon ; and how, it will doubtless be asked, is the work to be accomplished? Simply, by the letters which Gen. Taylor has written; c’est 2 dire, in cose he will not declare or abdicate the position he occupies us the “spontaneous” caneidate of the wh g potty, in favor of Mr. Clay. (ur r-aders are aware that General Taylor has been rigidiy cstechized regarding his political principlesand hia views on the greatquestiensthat divide the two great parties, into which the peo- ple of the United States are divided. In answer tothe interrogatories addressed to him, he has avowed himself incapable of giving definite re- sponses, for the very best of reasons, that he never was a politician, and paid more attention to vis duties os a soldier than he did to the ques- tioa of a nutional bank, tariff, or anything else. He expresses no opinion one way or the other; allhe says is, that if elected he will discharge the duties of the office to the best of hia ubility. This does not suit either the whiz or democratic party. It is part of the plan of the whigs, therefore, to use these very candid avowals of General Tuylor, of his not being a party man, of his not | having formed an opinion on the political ques- tions of the day, and particularly on the tariff question, ag a means of dropping him entirely, if it should become necessary inthe furtherance | of their views. The ignorance of the General | be one of that will be used | ne tariff r { one that they reckon will | mt crush the old hero. nis ever, othing; another point of | matter is more important; we mean General Taylor’s views onthe Wilmot proviso. ‘Phese have not been publicly expressed, but it has recently been announced all over Washing: | ton that Senator Crittenden, of Kentucky, the friend and confidential adviser of Mr. Clay, has in his possession 2 letter written by General Taylor, in which he states that he is in favor of that measure. This is the strongest weapon which those opposed to the General have algea- dy commenced using, and which they hope will accomplish the object in view. But we shall see. We cannot for a moment suppose, from what we have heard of Gen. Taylor’s character, and from the tone of his recent letters, that he would submit to the dictation of the wire pullers of the whig, democratic, native, or any other party. Indeed, he has intimated as much as this in his replies to those persona who have questioned him on his principles. He possesses too much firmness and independence of spirit for that. Will, then, the politicians succeed in sacrificing him, if he be intractable, and will not declare in favor of Clay or any other man? hey may indirectly, and in this way, they may distract the whig party ; they may divide it into two par ies or sections, Taylorites and Clayites. The friends of both unquestionably comprise a vast majority of the voters throughout the country, but they will be- come very much weakened if divided. This may be what the politicians are calcula- ting upon. They know that Gen. Taylor's friends, atleast a great portion of them, will not desert him; and they know that Clay’s friends will never forsake their favorite leader; and the de- mocrats will, of course, have their candidate in the field. Now, if the whigs do not succeed in making a tool of General Taylor in the man- ner they propose, they may defeat his election by giving the nominution to Clay. There will then be three parties, and, perhaps, four parties —the Taylorites, Clayites, Calhounites, and the Wright-Benton-Van Burenites; and these four parties, or fragments of parties, may cause the election of President to devolve on the House of Representatives. This may be the kernel of the nut which the whig politicians are now about to crack. If they should succeed in accomplish- ing all this, they depend on the election of Mr. Clay by the House, for, as our readers know, that b anch of the legislature is likely to he whig by asmall majority. This, then, is probably the programme of the whig wire pullers; and in connection with this, it has been intimated to us that Col. Benton’s recent visit to Washington, hos something todo with this movement. Now we caunot believe this. We certainly shall not place reliance in this rumor yet awhile, at allevents. Tue Mepicat Couteces ano Mepicat Epu- cation In THE Unrren Starrs.—The season 4s now tast approaching when our medical colleges will commence their annudl ses- sions, for the purpose of lecturing on the vari- ous branches of medical education to the numer- ous body of students who annually resort to our city to profit by these instructions. Since the close of the last session, however, various move- ments have been made in the medical world, by which matters will be conducted on somewhat a different plan from whet they have hitherto been. In the month of May last a national medical convention was held in the city of Philadelphia, the second one of its kind, a similar one having been held in this city in May, 1846. At the Philadelphia eonvention there was a numerous body of delegates from various parts of the Union. The whole number that was sent was 826. Eighty of there, however, did not report themselves, consequently but 246 were present. These gentlemen were representatives of 80 responsible and respectable bodies of medical men, viz.: 88 medical State or county societies, 29 chartered medical colleges, 17 private associ- ations, and 1 hospital, and 23 States out of the whoie Union, The oby ‘ct of their assemblage was to hear the reports of various committees, who were ap- pointed at the convention of 1846, to investigate certain p oints connected with the welfare of the profession. Those reports were on the following su rjucts, viz. d Bs On ii cepentention of a national medical associa- 0 be known w u “ Steaie fmocition ler the namo of * The American adopting of a uniform and elevated standard of juirements for the 4 foqulrwments Unite stat M.

This, however, is looked upon as morally bind- ing by a great number of the profession in the Union. Accordingly, the two oldest colleges are adopting the improvements suggested in the foregoing reports (which were all adopted), particularly in the second one, relating to the standard of requirements from a student before granting him the degree of M. D. So sanguine are the framers of this report of the success of this modification, that they urge the various in- stitutions to adopt it. “The encouraging plau- dits of the profession,” they say, “ will cheer it on, and its general voice will direct our students to that source of information from which is to be derived the largest supply.” The principal change thus encouragingly recommended is the | lengthening the term of lectures from the pre- | sent course of four to one of six months, and ia- creasing the number of professors to seven 1n- stead of six, heretofore the usual number in | | most schools, thus affording the pupil so much | | more time and opportunity for thoroughly | studying the numerous subjects brought under | his notice in a winter’s course. | As regards the standard of requirements to | | be exacted of young men entering as students, a | recommendation was made by the convention, | fixing a good English education, a know!edge of natural philosophy, and the elementary natural sciences, and us much knowledge of Lutin and Greek as, at least, to enable them to appreciate the technicalities of medicine, and read and write prescriptions. The code of medical ethics, founded on Perci- vol'sethics, wasudéptrd. The fifth report, how- | ever, both the majority and minority reports on it, was referred to the American Medical Assoeia- tion,'which was formed in accordance with the first report; the sixth report, a very important one to the public at large, and of which we pro- pose to speak at some future day, was likewise | adopted. ! Colleges in the country, viz. the University of Pennsylvania, in Philndelphia, and the College of Physicians and Surgeons in this this same institution has likewise, in accordance 1848. The example has thus been set by these two venerable institutions; and the other col- the convention, will doubtless follow the lead. in the Union, in the matter of medical educa- | tion. What with this move on the part of the an excellent successor to the lamented Revere son among the professors the coming winter. Ocgan Streamers —The French steamer Mis- souri, Capt.

Surnene Count, August 23— Before Judge Jones,— In Re Martin Hare.—The parties appeared in chamber thia morning pursuant toadjouroment. Mr. Phillips, the assistant District Attorney, moved that Hare should be remanded to the custody of the committing magistrate to proceed with the examination, anu offered to read an affidavit made by Miss Fox eloce Saturday in relation to the alleged marrige. Mr. Brady objected to reading any affidavit, and insisted chat Miss Fox should be per- sonally examined. Mr. Whiting, who appeared for Mr. Fox, contended that Hare shou'd be seut back to the committing magistrate to take the examination Judge Jones said the statute expressly declares that the mugis- trate before whom the Labeas corpus is returnable, i bound co take the examination Mr. Whiting said thac where the case was atill under examination before the committing magistrate, the officer issuing the habeas corpus would send the matter buck to be finished by the Magistrate below. Judge Jones suid the great difficulty was, that the cuse could not be proceeded with until miss Fox was orally examined. Mr. Whiting then proposed that Mias Fox should be privately examined. Judge Jones said be thought it was unnecersary fir auy one to ‘be present but those immrdiately concerned; be did not want a crowd; but still the examination should be in court. Wartixa.—We will now proceod to prove the first marriuge Baavy.—We admit that. It was subsequently agreed that further proceedings should be postponed until Judge Edmonds came to town.

Frow these we pr-ceed to construct an intelligible statement of affairs :— ‘The reader will bear in mind that Mr. recent letter was submitted by Santa Auna to Congress. On the 13th July, a committee reported on the subject, and recommended that the despaseh should be returnes to Santa Anna. Congress, by a decisive vote, surtained this report, which we translated, and pi days since. We now learn from the co. of the Diario de ta Marina, that om the 16th of July, the foreign Secretary transmitted anew commun! wo ci . The it of it was Lim Bog by Mr Ke in one of his late letters; but it is #0 1 that wo give the fuller version of it from the Diario. ‘The Secretary tells Congress that if that body is un- of answering Mr ta Anns desirous the first willing to assume the responsibility Buchanan’s despatch, neither is of taking it upon his ‘shoulders. He says, in , that there is a doubt as to the construc: | tion of the law, and that this should be cleared up. The government did not consult Congress to know whether the Executive could take the initiative in negotistions—there was no doubt about that; but | the Executive desired to know whether Congress wished him to entertain the overtures proffered. The dignity of the nation required that some reply should be given to Mr. Buchanan’s letter; it wasthe business of the Exe- outive to make that reply, but he desired to make such & reply as should express the views of Congress. It was more urgent upon Congress to express thoir views, as, by the law of the 20th of April fast it. was expreaaly de clared that peace should not be made with the United States. The government is thus pldced in » posi! where it cannot act. ‘These points the Secretary. ‘dwell upon yo He then goes on to way that the Execu- tives ia uot ignorant of the wishes of the nation, nor can the mation be in doubt as to those of the Executive — ‘That even in themoment of his defvat, (alluding to Cer- ro Gordo) Santa Anna’s sole thought was how to save ‘the capital, and that in the course fo ren month, as ifby e¢nobantment. he had sroused pubiic spirit, and faised forces sufficient for its defence. But, continues the rae thatis not the question; the question i, shall Executive listen, or not, to the American re- presentative Nor can the question be evaded by raying That. Congress is not an advisory body, for it lias been continually acting in that capacity since it terminated constitution. its labors fe amending the 4o this the its emburrassments.’ True, gentlemen, that ia precisely the case. - oh gr aergged knows what its powers are, aad as to them it has no occasion to consult Cougress. It knows, too, its duties; but notwithstanding that Cou- gress and the inhabitants of the capital, the nation and the whole world ate Witnesses of the manner in which be discharged thoseduties,yet the chief of the executive fa the objeot of the most absurd suppositious on the ms of some of his countrymen, aud even of public funciion- aries. This hus extended so far that the cry for war bas been raised, and an ¢ffort wade to inspire distrust of the general, the Freaident,” &o , &e. In conclusion, the Svoretary says that the Govern- ment is prepared for the war, snd to push it forward to the extent of its means; that it ia covtident of » trium- phant defence of the caplial, but that the future Gud only caudetermine, Tho Executive insists that Cou- greta suould make an express declaration whether it is the will of the nation that the Government shall pot listen to any kind of proposition made on the part of the United States, So far as known at Havana, Congress had made no re ply to this, nor had they acted upon ivatall. The Bo- letin at Jalapa, of the 3d August, says that they have seen the Diario del Gobierno to the lust day of uly, and they republish one article from it, not specifying the dute of it, but we may presume it to be very late. The article is important, as showing the views of the Government. It is @ profersed resumé of a series of ur- ticles, the conclusions of which are but a reiteration of the views of the Secretary. ‘Lhe official editor holds that war is not the normal state of nations; that in the due course of time peace must be concluded on some basis between the United States and Mexica; but that in his opinion, this can never be done until Mexican arms have been victorious; and he expressly couusels that when they havo won a vietory, they should then tender the olive branch- never before. But the Presi- dent for his own protection, desires an expression of the will cf the nation us to listening to American overtures. Congress can alone express that will; the President promises to abide by it. His duties are two fold—ss a soldier and a civil magistrate. If Congress and the na- tion wish war, and nothing but war, as # suldier he will obey, und ererything is prepared for detuncs. . If they wish him to listen to the Americans, as the first magic- trate of the nation, he is prepared to hear the expression of their will,and to heed it Let Congress, as the repre- sentatives of the people, declare their wishes; he is deter- mined to comply with them, whatever they may be. But Congress is obstinately silent; no quorum can be obtained, for which the official editor lashes the delin- quent members. He concludes: “The Government feels and knows its dutics, and while those whose pro- vince it isdo not mark out any other course to be par- sued. the Executive will follow that which leads to glory'avd the nutioual vindication ” ‘The inference would suem to be very obvious from ali we huve given, that Saute Anna is extremely solicitous to have the whole power of peace or war placed in bis hauds. and especially that Congress should repeal the Jaw declaring it treason to of peace He is so ur- geut on this head that we do not wonder at the suspi- cions entertained by his countrymen about his inten- tions. They believ:, many of them, that he is at heart in tavor ef peace. Hence the letter in La Patria the other day, and the rumor of the appointment of cowmis- sionera a few weeks ago, aud the revival of ruch « rumor by our correspondent, writing from Vera Cruz on the 7th inst. Tho Boletin de tas Noticias censures the gov- ernment journal for talking e0 much about tho porsibi- lity of peace. It insists that it has bad effect upon the army and the nation. In this connection we may mention that Congress and Santa Anna are at variance upon another point. The papers represent that Congress is strongly in favor of the removal of the seat ot government; Santa Anna ix violently opposed to it. From Santa Anna's obstinacy upon this point, some infor that he is scheming to make the fate of the capital the crisis of the war. Shouid it fall. they believe be will insist upon @ peace. Should he make @ successful defence, Gen. Scott’s army will be overwhelmed in all probability. ‘Tho Mexicans entertain great hopes of destroying this army. Boletin ways it is understood that a division of the Mexican army is to be withdiawn from the onpital to operate in the Stat of Vera Crus,to cut our communications off completely. Three thousand men, it says, cun be easily spared, and their presence would give unbounded coufidence to the guerilla parties. Upon the slightest reverse to Gen. Scott, the whole country in his rear would swarm with armed men. It is grateful to feel as we do, an undoubting conviction that no such reverse can happen to our arms.

The stock market opened rather heavy this morning, and prices were very unsettled ‘Treasury notes improv- ed per cent ; Ohio 6's, 4; Norwich and Worcester, 34, Pennsylvania 6's, Farmer's Loan, Harlem and Lovg Is Jand, closed at prices current on Saturday; Morris Canal fell off 4; add Canton % per cent. Transactions were only to a mode: xtent. Itis impossible to tell what will be the probable course of prices from day to day; operators are timid, and speculation is almost entirely confined to the two principal railroad fancies, Norwich and Harlem. At the second board Harlem advanced 1X per cent; Norwich and Worcester 74, with large sales of each.— Morris Canal fell off 34, which, with the decline in the morning, makes s falling off of 1% per cent since Sat- urday. rn ‘The receipts of the Harlem Railroad Company yester- day, amounted to sixteen hundred dollars Thereis not the slightest foundation fer the charge made by an obscure and unknown individual, against one of the leading bill brokers of Wall street, relative to pass- fog spurious coin. An investigation of the affuir will place the whole thing in a different light, and place the criminality where it properly belongs. ‘The party at present implicated is one of the oldest and most exten- sive bill brokers in the street, and the idea of his beiog engaged in any such transaction as that regorted is per- fectly preposterous. F The effect of the reoent advices from England upon our corn markets, has. as yet, been only toa moderate extent. and the prevailing impression is, thet prices for breadstutfs, on this side, are beyond the infuenee of prices, or any depression existing in England. Our markets stand more on their own legs, the domestic de- mand for consumption being sufficient to sustain prices rtthe present point, It is our impression that prices for breadstuffs will advance, instead of receding; that the reeeipts from the interior. will not be much more than large enough to supply the home dema: that for shipment to other ports, than thos» of Great Britain; and that, upon the close of navigation, the stock {a this, and the otner principal seaport markets, will not be more than sufficient for our own consumption, and very limited exportation. This will be sufficient to sus- tain prices; but in the event of a demand springing up in Eugland for breadstaffe, after the close of naviga- tion in the interior of this country, prices will advance with the greatest rapidity, and rates, somewhere in the neighborhood of those ruling last winter, borenlised We see that prices are exceedingly firm in the face of most un- receipts from the interior. 1t, therefore, appears very probavle, that when we must depend for fall five months upon the supply which may be on band on the Ist De- coomber—with trifling receipts by cosstwise arrivals— prices will beoome inflated much beyond their present point. Suoh are our anticipations, independent of any influence upon prices here, from any unlooked for de- mand from the other side, resulting from any defloiency in the harvests, We have no doubt there will bee very important deficiency in the grain crops of Great Britaln, -ven beyond the usual defleieney in the home supply+ compared with the home consumption ‘There is also very little doubt but that the potato blight will be much more serious and more extensive, than the present ap- pearance of the crop would warrant us in belivving. Recent advices from England report the existence of uhe disease, which 1s eufflolant to ereate fears for its in- crease, Even the event of the crop looking healthy and promising at harvest it,is nogaaranty of the absence of the germ of the disease, or that the plant will con- tinue sound, ‘The harvest of cereal grain in this country has beon more than an average this year; the harvest of Indian corn is likely to be immense—to exoved anything of the kind ever before realised even in this prolitic country. But very little of those orops will come forward this year, tho bulk of them will remain in the hands of the pro- dnvers until, the opening of navigation in the spring, when there will be euch a rush to the seaboard that prices must give way, and reduced rates be the order of the day. Until then we look for moderately high prices, no matter what may be the compl-xion of advices from the other side. Sh'pments of breadstuffs to Great Britain bave partially ceased, but they will doubtless be reyumed, upon the receipt of further advioes from Eu- rope, We look for an improvement in prices in Great Britain by the next arrival, by the packet of the 19th inst, from Liverpool. It would be expecting too muob, to anticipates full recovery of the decline, bat that s large per cent of it will be, we have not the least doubt. We make & great deal of allowance for the correstness of the reporte relative to the crops in England Acre for acre the produotion may be an average, but that the aggre- gate yield will be an average, there {s much uncertainty. Should the potato blight makes its appoarance to any extent. the supply of this article of food would be much jens than that of last ye the quantity of land oulti- vated with that plant this year is much jess then last: ‘The appearance of the disease {9, therefore, more alarm- ing, aod justly causes mors apprehension as to ite efeot upon the oxop and upon priced of food gemerally, A very vw Wook Will settle all these questions, whew re sbaus
