We present our readers to-day with a summa- ry of intelligence, received at this office from the various poiats with which we are in telegre- phic communi on, and which, doubtless, will be read with interest. From Wa: zton we leara that a messenger has arrived :rom Mexico; but instead of being ona mission o ace from that country, his pre- sence gives a contradiction to the numerous false- hoods which have of late been circulated about the negotiations of Mr. Trist. Mr. Benton gave notice in the Senate that he would ask leave to introduce a bill to-day, to amend the Glat and 95th rules of the articles cf war. The Ten Regiment Bill was taken up, aiid Mr. Dix had the floor; but we are unable to give his speech to-day, on account of the tele graphic wires having become deranged at an early hour of the night, probably occasioned by the storm. Inthe House, Mr. Donnell’s resoln- tions for closing the debate on the President’s annual mesgage, were takenup, and gave rise to further debate: which is all we have to report of the doings of this branch of the national legisla- ture. From Albany, we have the proceedings of the e Convention, held there yester- ointment of Democratic § day, which was organized by the apy Judge Denio, Oneida county, as President. Mr. MeVein, of New York, reported an addiess in opposition to the Wilmot proviso, and in favor of sustaining the administration ina vigorous prosecution the war with Mexico.

It is very well known that Mr. Trist was origi- nally sent to Mexico by the President, unknown tothe Secretary of State at Washington. He was the special and private negotiator of the President, whom the President sent on his own hook. He went to Mexico with certain instruc- tions to negotiate with that republic; but when he reached'that country, he came in conflict with the views and purposes of General Scott, and a | great deal of difficulty was caused in conse- | quence thereof. It is generally understood that the regular cabinet digapproved of the mission of | Mr. Tri when they learned the fact of his being sent; but concurred in it during a certain period of the time he spent in Mexico. After the failure of the first attempts to effecta negotia- tion, Mr. Trist was recalled home, or his instruc- tions were withdrawn, inthe regular way, by the Secretary of State. Of this there seems to be no doubt. If, now, according to these repeated rumors, Mr. Tristhas agreed on a treaty with Mexico, or any portion of the Mexican commis. sioners, he has probably done so under certain private and special instructions from Mr. Polk himself, without reference to his cabinet, and without their concurrence. It is possible, likewise, that General Scott and some other of the generals, may be mixed up in this matter in some mysterious way, calcu- lated to produce an explosion among their friends, among the administration, and in other quarters, as soon as all the factsare ma#de known. When there was nothing but hard fighting to be done, there was perfect unity in the American camp. As soon, however, as the Mexican army was defeated and demoralized, and almost des- troyed, then the intrigues of little men, and am- bitious politicians came into existence; and we would not be at all surprised to see that a treaty of peace, the recall of General Scott, the release of General Worth, the court of inquiry, the per- manence of the present cabinet, the position and character of Mr. Polk, were all mixed up in this business ina most mysterious, ridiculous and dangerous way, for the character and position of the country. There is a treaty of peace, or the basis of a | treaty of peace, or some form of procedure looking to peace, undoubtedly in question. Mr. Trist, although repudiated by the cabinet, and publicly reealled, is, without doubt, acting pri- vately, under special instructions from Mr. Polk. It is a course of policy consistent with the pecu- | liarity of Mr. Polk’s character. He is merely repeating the same kind of deceptive game to- wards his official associates, in relation to Mexi- co, which he did-to his leading friends in the Senate on the Oregon question. Whether this curious mixture of negotiations and aspirations, and small intrigues and great purposes, may lead to a permanent treaty of peace with Mexico, we very much dovbt. The British government are undoubtedly anxious that we should quit that country. They do not like the idea of that fine republic being absorbed by, or annexed to, the United States. It would give us too much power over the moneyed operations of the world. Mr, Polk, like all other weak men, has been throw- ing out ideas through his messages, and through the public journals, looking to the annexation of the whole of thac country, while it is probable that he has been secretly endeavoring to make a peace in any form, through the special agency of Mr. Trist. Such a double-faeed course of policy has marked, heretofore, the measures of Mr. Polk; and we would not be surprised to see tha; the same characteristics prevailed in these ru- mored negotiations, that must be developed ina very short time. * We are on the edge of some very important developements and explosions in relation to peace with Mexico, and other matters. Tae Taytor Party.—The troubles in the Taylor organization in this city seem to increase, and not to diminish. We give in another column the report of acurious debate which took place at the Central Rough and Ready Club, held et Military Hall, in the Bowery. This report exhibits very accurately the con- dition of the organization of the Taylor division in this metropolis. The materials composing it are as discordant, and as hostile as can be con- ceived. Wedo not see how it will be possible tounite them, unless some extraordinary state of excitement should spring up. Shall we try chlo- roform? A mass meeting isto be called in anti- | cipation of the great mass meeting of the 224 proximo, and we are givento understand that this meeting will be held at the Military Hall, | in the Bowery, next week. So we go. The whig party are in trouble, | the democratic party are in trouble, and even | the Taylor organization is in trouble, and can with difficulty stand upon its legs. Ail is full of trouble, full of contention, full of difficulty, and full of sorrow. | Is there no mode of bringing all the Taylor | men, of every party in the city, to meet in con- ference together? Can any chemist supply us with a bottle of chloroform ?—say a, barrel at | once? TRovustes IN Suppression or Lotteries —We have received a curious tract, signed by “‘R. R. Vyvyian, Sec- retary, No. 693 Broadway,” and issued as “tract No. 1,” by the ‘Society for the suppression of vice and immorality,” designed also for univer- eal circulation. Itisalittle dirty, document, and puts forth a multitude of charges against a number of indi- viduals, among whom we find Dudley S. Grego- ry, member of Congress from New Jersey; Chas. Melatyre, of No. 35 Wall street; Daniel McIn- tyre, J.M. Maury & Co., of Washington; Charles & Son, including their Bank Note List; J. Paine and James Phelan, Wall street, inéluding also the Wall Street Reporter; S. J. Sylvester, Lewis Morrison, Moses, and we dont know but Moses and ali the prophets too. The editors of news- papers, and the clergy of the United States, are urgently called upon to circulate this tract, and put it into those gentlemen,without stint or mea- sure. Who “Mr. R. R. Vyvyian, Secretary, No | 693 Broadway,” is, we dont know; but he eeems to to be a brave fellow, when he makes such dread- | ful onsets against a member of Congress, and other individuals, in Wall street, and out of it— and all this, too, for the suppression of vice and immorality. This certainly is a great country—New York | is @ great city—Wall street is a great street—and “R. RK. Vyvyian, Secretary, No. 693 Broadway,” must be @ great man. ANNEXATION or YucaTAN.—Our private advices from Washington, state that an authorized and confidential agent fromm Yucatan, is now in that | city for the purpose of entering into negotiation | for the annexation of that State to this Union g | Sreamsure Canora will sail on Saturday, at noon, for Halifax and Liverpool. | Tue New Yor Herarp.—We are almost | | daily in the habit of taking our Congressional | reports from this peper, aa it furuiehes th fitted for the country press. The Herald smonnt of expense for telegraphic reports which would raio an ‘catablicbment of more means.— Ro- chester Adv. Jan, 26, Canada and ite Destiny, The fecent elections in Canada have produced a remarkable result. The radical party, with all its dirt and deviltry, has trampled over all oppo- sition, and has come out in the recent election with a tremendous majority over the tories, with all their gold, lace, titles, and whiskers. Even some of those distressed and distinguished men who attempted the recent revolution, and. were banished, orran away from the province, some years ago, have been elected agair, and oc- cupy even a stronger position for future agi- tation than they everdid. By this election, this fresh development of radical and repub- lican feeling in Canada, arises the very per- plexing inquiry, “what will be the future des- tiny of this interesting country?” “ What is to be the fate of Canada?” ‘* Will the devil or de- mocracy get hold of her fate ?” We believe that Canada and the British go- vernment are placed at the present moment in an irreconcileable, but incipient position, of deadly hostility towards each other, in politics, in so- j ciety, in public opinion, and in all the laws af- fecting trade and commerce. Dollars and de- mocracy go together. The executive government of Canada, which always consists of some decaying branch of the aristocracy of Great Britain, can never become assimilated with the popular feelings and im- pulses of the Canadian people. Their local go. vernment and their population, are hostile in principle and in feeling towards each other. But, above all, the commercial policy which the British government pursues towards Canada, serves to make a wider breach than all the other grievances put together. The dollar divides them. The policy of Lord John Russell and the whigs, in all important commercial arrange- ments, is governed by the Rothachilds, the Ba- rings, the capitalists, the speculators, and the usurers, and other highly respectable scoundrels and cheats of London. Canadian interests and wants have little influence in England with the whig ministry, or in- deed with any ministry, in that country. It is rauch more important to England, for the favora- ble prosecution of her commercial affairs, to be on good and favorable terms with the United States than to grant favors or any special exemptions to the colonial trade either of Canada or ef the West Indies. The trade and commerce of the United States with England is of more importance to the great dealers and speculators of London, and to the manufacturers of Manchester, than half a dozen Canadas, or a dozen West Indies. Consequently, in all its commercial legislation, the British government is under the influence of the London capitalists and the Manchester ma- nufacturers, and is ever ready to sacrifice to these mere local interests both Canada and the West Indies, in order that it may extend its commerce with the United States. This stock-jobbing policy of the British go- vernment will receive additional strength, if the United States should annex Mexico to their re- public, or retain the command and supremacy over that empire. In fact, as a matter of trade, commerce, and prosperity, it will be an advan- tage to Canada to pay any price to the British government to obtain the liberty of becoming united with our Union of States, rather than to remain in its present anomalous position. The British West Indies would, without doubt, | spring into fresh existence under the flag of the United States, and would become again one of the richest countries in the world, in produc- ing eugar, cotton, and all the tropical productions of which it is capable, if they were under the government of the United States, instead of that of England. The old colonial policy of Europe has been, as far as regards matters of trade and commerce, paralyzed and destroyed by the prosperity and progress of the mighty commercial power of the United States. The interests of England tend to lead her to encourage trade with the United States, even at the sacrifice of all the interests and weltare of Canada and the West Indies. At the same time, the influence of the capitalists of London and the manufacturers of Manchester tends to fix this policy upon any government or ministry which the Queen may appoint. We believe, therefore, from these views, that the opening of the next session of the Canadian Parliament, will be the opening of a vein offeel- ing that will gradually lead to a separation from Great Britain—a separation voluntary, if England has the wisdom to yield—forcible, if not freely permitted; and sure to be, in any;case, sooner or later. The movement is ripe—the times are ripe —the world is ripe—all is ripe forsuch a startling event. Proaness or FasnronaBer Socrery.—The or- ganization of fashionable society, attempted in this city, by the establishment of a regular Ital- ian Opera, is going on prosperously, and would appear to succeed with the same rush and the same impetuous enthusiaem with which men adopt a new religion, or go for a new President, or rush after some new humbug. If we cannot say much for the Opera, either inthe whole or | in the detail, (and with the exceytion of Bene- ditti, the troupe’is very so so only) as now perform- ingat the Astor Place Theatre, we may say more for the appearance of the house—the coup d@’eil of the establishment, the beauty and grace ot the ladies, the business appearance of the gen- tlemen, and the philosophical propriety of all. This is, however, but a trial—but a first effort —a preliminary step. Much still is required to be done, both as respects dress, manners, ar- rangement, the relations of managers, company, critics, audiences, and all connected with them. The Astor Place Opera House can by no means compare with the Acadamie Royale of Paris, or with the Queen’s Opera in London, or with the dress, brilliancy, or any other of those adventi- tious advantages which spring from enormous wealth and long trained manners. In personal beauty there is a great equality, and particularly among the females in the fashionable theatres of all countries. The prettiest women are generally at the cheapest theatres. In Paris, the ladies dis- play more taste in dress, a higher finish in man- ners, and a remarkable grace of deportment. In England there is more dignity, finer complexions, greater wealth and display; but with all this, a certain coldness of latitude—58:80, In the fash- ionable theatres of Vienna and Berlin, however, the resemblance to ours here in the United States is more apparent. But, upon the whole, we think, as far as we have gone in this country hitherto, we have done well, and are ina fair way of wonderful improve- ment. Considering, also, that the highest and proudest of the éite of New York, as they are called, cannot go back to their grandfathers without running against a respectatile tailor, or a prudent butcher, or a pious shoemaker, we think that fashionable society makes greater progress here than in Europe, where they have to trace back their families many long centuries, before they light upon their founders, who were | the bloody barons, or the black mail robbers of the middle ages.

At re-assembling, Judge Denio in the chair, Mr. MeVein, of New York, reported a very able address against the Wilmot proviso, and in fa- vor of sustaining the administration in carrying on the war; but noallusion was made to Cass orthe Presidency. It was in favor of free trade. It reviewed the difficulties which had occurred in the party, denounced the barnburners as trai- tors, &c. The address was unanimously adopted. The committee on resolutions and organization was not ready to report. While Mr. McVein was addressing the convention, the gas was turned off, which left the meeting in darkness. Great confusion prevailed for the moment, but the lights were subsequently restored, and the speaker proceeded. The convention then ad- journed to 11 o’clock. ‘The Southern Telegraph.

Last night) again, there was full house, and so it has been every evening since Sands, Lent & Co.'s circus company have been performing here ; it efforda a striking contrast to the slim houses which were attracted by the regular drams before the house closed. We believe that the reason is, that at the present day thcse who go to the theatres, require something which will amuse and inte- rest them, without calling on them for a continuous atretch of attention for two or three hours at a time; then, moreover, it cannot be denied, that the drames which arerut on the stage are often heavy, dull, and toodeep in their sentiments, dialogue, &s. to amure an audience. We teel convinced that managersof theatres would find it more to their account to give short. pithy, end really amusing pieces, instead of the heavy five act pieces which are so often thrust down the public’s throat ; bat all this is foreign to our subject of Sanda, Lent & Co.’s circus. We merely adduce it as the reason of the great success attending their perfor- mances; the scenes in the ring are short, brillisnt. and varied; they follow in quick succession. There is no long waiting for the next act; no sconer has one of their daching equestrians, such as Stout, Aymar, Her- mandez, Madame Gardiner, ko. (oy through their act, than, presto, another is ushered in by the clown’s comi- eallaugh. Thus every body is kept amused and satis. fied during the whole evening, and are glad to renew their visit on some subsequent one. This is the way to do things, and, as the proof of the pudding is said to lay in its eating, so the proof of Sands, Lent & Co.’s good Judgment and tact is shown by their crowded audiences Bowery Tueatne.—The“Battle of Mexico,” the fight- ings at Cerro Gordo, the storming of Chapultepec, the taking of Saute Anna’s carriage and leg, and all the in- cidents of war, from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexiod, are getting to be a4 familiar as household words among the'frequenters of the Bowery theatre. When gazing on the immense audience collected there the other evening. we thought thet if added to the army of occupation, now in Mexico, they would make quite a large addition to it; and if they carried all the enthusiasm they manifested in the theatre along with them, why Gen. Scott would be furnished with enough of ‘that so neorssary an ingredient of an army, to take Queretaro, and all the rest of the cities within one hundred miles of Mexico to boot. The fun caused Neb, the highly respect pay Biddy, the camp women (Mr. Broadley), various comic cheracters in the piece, serve to keep dience in first-rate humor all the tima.

This is'« ver; pretty plece, and the accuracy and taste with which ail the parts were performed, gained for it unbounded plause.

George Jones was to take s benefit at the Arch street-theatre, Philadelphia, last evening, on which 0o- casionshe was announced to appear as Mrs. Haller, in “The Stranger.” yw mo- a o Taylor Movement, The New York Rough and Ready Club, which was formed in this city, on the tenth of Juna last, for the purpose of promoting the success of General Taylor, the people’s candidate to the Presidency, held a meeting on ‘Tuesday evening last, for the transaction ef business, at Military Hall, in the Bowery. | : After the usual preliminary routine, such asthe reading of the minutes, &c., was concluded, a committee of five was appointed to co-operate with the Rough and Ready Clubs of the several wards, for the purpose of having a general masa meeting of the friends of Gen. Taylor, of all ties, in a short time, inthe large room of Mili! Hall. These minor clubs are not yetall organiz- ed, but it was ascertained that the progress made in forming them, was very flattering. ‘A member offered the following resolutions :— Resolved, as the opinion of the Central Rough and Ready club that it is inexpedient and unwise to connect the name of General Taylor asa candidate for the Pre- sidency, with any party denomination whatever, and that whenever mestings are called, they should be dis- connected wholly with tho namo of ny existing party. Reeclyed, That as the election of General Taylor must be secured by the votes of men of all parties, the State toral ticket ought, if possible, to embrace representa- tives ofall Resolved, That it is unwise to discuss the nomination of a candidate for the Vice Presidency, to run in con- nection with General Taylor, but that such nomination should be referred to a national convention, or else left wholly to the electoral college. Ou motion, the resolutions were laid over to the next meeting of the club. Mr. Hauser, one of the founders of the Central Rough and Ready, said he had a resolution to offer, whioh he thought ought to pass, considering the present aspect of the Taylor movement. Its objset was to diseonnect the movement in favor of General Taylor with any or either of the old parties. The resolution wes, that a commit- tee of the Central Rough and Ready Club be appointed to issue ciroulare and obtain signatures for the purpose of calling a great mass meeting of the friends of Gene- ral Taylor, irrespective of party, on the 92d of Februa- ry next, the anniversary of the battle of Buena Vis, and of the birth of Washington, at Castle Garde this city, He said that the meeting called by Mr. Webb, of the Couri-r, savored of whiggery, and it was well known that General Taylor would not consent to be the candidate of any party, having 80 expressed him- seif on several occasions. & The resolution was opposed by a member, who snd that he regretted to see ut this early stage of tha Tay- lor movement, any exhibition of jeslouay or ill feeling, and he hoped it would not poss. He moved as a substi tute, that when the proposed races meeting to be held shortly in the large room of Military Hall adjourns, that it adjourn to meet at the Webb meeting, tor the purpose of depriving that meeting of any identity with the whig arty. " Another member said that he signed the Webb ciron- lar, but he cid not dosoasa whig. He did it ase friend of General Taylor, and he had no doubt that man: others acted in the same manner. He wasnot a whig, bu! Taylor man, and as such he signed the circular. He did not understand that the Webb mecting was to bea whig meeting, although the term whig was used in the cirou- lars calling it together. He bad no sympathy with either Mr. Webb, although he has the control of a pow- erful press, or with any of his party; but it must be con- fessed that Mr. Webb has unquestionably done much in favor of the Taylor movement; and let him go on im bis course. He was sorry to see any exhibition of jealousy in this matter. Gen. Luovp, of the third ward, said that it was ve essential that all the movements in support of Generet ‘Taylor by this club should be made with great care and esution, so that the Taylor party shoulu be in no wise committed to, or identified with, any of the old parties. He was in favor of appointing a committee to confer with the Webb-Taylor party, and show Mr. Webb that the Taylor movement is not to be confined to soy iy or faction. if Mr. Webb, or any other person, Are4 attempt to fix a weight on the ‘Taylor party, ii will be for that party to decide whether it will bear if oF hot. Mr. Hatsxy, the proposer of the resolution, said the object be had in offering it, was to inciuda men of all littes! parties in the Taylor party, and to divest it of any identity with the principle of the whig party—with their tariff and bank principles, and every thing else. There bas, a8 every one knows, beon a Webb-Taylor-whig meeting fooggele § the Courier and Enquirer; he under- stood there wa3 to be a democratic Taylor meeting called shortly, aud this club is about to call another mass-mesting. What isthe necessity of all this, when the friends of General © are not confined to any party? It was to obviate all this difficulty that he of- fered his resolution, the object of which was to call a general mass meeting, not of whigs or democrats, but of men of all ‘ies, who are favorable to the elevation of General T'eylor to the Presidency, Mr. Squires was opposed to the resolution, for as the Webb party and this ciub are working for the rame gen- eral object, viz :~the election of G fled, pointed to co-operate with the parties who are at the bottom of the proposed meeting on the 22d of February. Mr. Forsom thought the call of the meeting by Mr. Webb was broad enough for men of all parties to attend in pursuance of it. He was opposed to any meseure that. was calculated to prevent the club from co-operating with thore who have got up the movement advertised in the Courier ¢ Enquirer, He paid @ flattering tribute tc General T’aylor’s character, and said the only opposition to be expected to him, was that which would come from men who dislike him because he will not be the candi- date of any party. The slight opposition that was made to his nomination at first, by those wi elevate a military man to the fast fading away. There oan be he said, that General ‘Yaylor would receive thi votes of all independent men, of all our people, whc wished to abolish the principle “to the victors be long the spoils.” Ho affixed his hame to the Webb call not as a whig or a democrat, but asa friend of Genera Taylor ; and hundreds of our most respectable citizen have done so likewiss He was in favor of appointing | committee to co-operate with the parties engaged in th other movement, and was decidedly of opinion that th club should harmonise with all the friends of Genera Taylor, here and elsewhere, Mr. Hatsxy said be kuew of many persons who wi not sign the Webb cail, because the word * whig” stare them in the faos. He wes informed within » short tim by Mr. Bennett, editor of tha Herald, that if the wor “whig? was stricken out of that call, every demoor: that passed through Wail street would sign it. It w for the purpose of securing the co-operation of the: and of men of all parties, that he off-red his resolutior He had no objeotion to hav resolution so amende that the committee whion ho proposed should, in add tion to issuing circulars, be authorised to confer wit the movers of the Webb movement. General Lioyn was in favor of the amendment, ar had no doubt that the Webb party would be glad of tl co operation of this club, ‘A member proposed to issue ® call from this club, independent men of all parties, and when the signatur reached aa large a number as toat of those attached the call that a from the Courier office, mittee of conference might bs appointed to co if proper, to co-operate, with the Webb party. f Generel Luorp esid the Webb party may wish the ty pression to go abroad that their's isa whig moveme 'd resolutions prejudicial to the independent Tay ty, might be passed at the meeting called by thi Wik would not do for this party,whioh is a party coi of all parties, to bs committed in this way. how men on that call, whom he has no doubt have re dy cut and dried for that meeting, whi will commit the independent Taylor party and thie cl {f it should co-operate with them.
