The electric teiegraph last night gave us in- telligence from New Orleans to the 80th ult., and further advices trom Mexico. The news is not important, however. It contains arumor of the advance of Bustamente on Saltillo, at the head of 10,000 men ; but as the rumor was not credi ed at Matamoras, we have little reason to believe ithere. At all events, even should the rumor prove true, there is nothing to apprehend in that quarter. Gen. Taylor, on leaving his command» placed it in charge of Geu. Wool, than whom, as a skilful soldier and brave man, no better selec- tion could have been made. The rreaty and Mr. Polk, The latest accounts from Mexico, and every newspaper throwghout the country, are still breathing rumors relative to the new treaty with that country; dad some of them are expecting, as almost a certainty, that the document will be before the Senate, and agreed to, ia a few weeks. The more we reflect on this matter, the more we are given to doubt as to the real probability of any peace with Mexico. other than that which now exists by the occupation of that country by the American army. One of the members of the Committee on Foreign Relations, in the House of Representatives, has, indeed, called on the Secretary of State, and received a decided state- ment from that functionary that there was a treaty of peace in a certain state of negotiation in Mexieo, but that nothing of the kind had been received at Washington; the only information on the matter having been received by the Secre- tary, through a private and undiplomatic chan- nel. We also learn from another quarter, that the movements of Mr. Trist have given great dissatisfaction to Mr. Polk, and that the Presi- dent is in a towering passion with his discarded negotiator. Under the supposition that a treaty of peace has been negotiated, on the terms of the instruc- tions given to Mr. Trist, and that it may ar- rive in Washington from Mexico in the next few weeks, it may still be a very important mat- ter of doubt whether the President would send it to the Senate, or what he would do with it. Mr. Polk, the more he is examined as a states- man and a po ian, the more remarkable and | ments brought forward by Mr. Poinsett, of South would be able to go before the people, on the last and most splendid issue. With these views of Mr. Polk’s character, wishés, position, and power; and the impor- tance of the various questi: connected with our relations with Mexico, and the next presi- dency, we verily believe, if a treaty be received Senate till after the meeting of the democratic national convention. nominate any other man than Mr. Polk, then we have a chance of a treaty ; if not, then we shail none of Mexico. Mr. Gattatin’s Sxconp Brocuugk ON THE Mexican Wan—Ma. Poinsetr—Me. Puncu— Weatuiineton.—Mr. Gallatin has published eno. ther brochure on the Mexican war, confining himself in this production to the financial aspect of the case. Mr. Poinsett has also published another letter. We have looked over Mr.G.’s pamphlet,and find ita very labored and very tedious productioa from beginning to end. It reminds us very much of a recent frightful letter, written by the Duke of Wellington, on the chances of a French invasion, which has been so well served up by Punch, by giving an actual account of the very invasion it- self, and the capitulation of London to a French army, by way of the Brighton railroad. The Dake of Wellington, in his old age, becomes alarmed at the idea that the French will overrun his country, in consequence of the application of steam to railroads, and the construction of steem- | ships. Mr. Gallatin is equally alarmed that the United States, in its present prosperous condition, with the addition of the resources of Mexico, will be as unable to meet the expenses of the war,as the administration, of which he was « member, was to meet the expensesof the war Gallatin’s statementa, views, principles, and reasonings, would have done very well about thirty years ago, but they are now awfully be- hind the present age. Any sudden pressure on the banking system, in consequence of the go- vernment contracting large loans, might affect the banks, might make them suspend; and we think it would be a good thing if many of the banks were broken, for a great portion of them are miserably conducted. We are not much atraid of the banks of New York. There may be more danger to banks in other parts of the country; and it would be right, too, for many of them don’t deserve to live any longer. Asto the possibility of raising means to carry on the war with Mexico, as it now stands, we do not think there is much difficulty. We have no doubt that Mexico could be made to support its own occupation, in spite of all the old state- Carolina, to show the contrary. Already Gene- ral Scott has collected, from one place alone, one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in silver, as the first instalment of a military contributioa thirty or forty years, and show by statements of that period, that Mexico at the present time is unable to contribute to support the American army. All those old chaps belong to the same category. The Duke of Wellington, Mr. Punch, Mr. Gallatin and Mr. Poinsett, and a great many others, are entirely unfit to think for the active and energetic spirits of the present age, and the sooner they go to work saying their prayers and preparing for the next world the better. In five years, Mexico, under the government of the United States, would yield a revenue of fifty millions. We beg to hand over Mr. Gallatin and Mr. Poinsett to our respectable cotempora- ries, ‘John Donkey” and the “ Elephant.” ArrivaL or Emigrants.—The new law in re- lation to emigrants, went into operation on the fitth of May last. The commissioners in this | city, are about to report to the Legislature, in eom- pliance with the requirements of this law, and the return is made up tothe Slst of December in- clusive. A vast amount of emigration in the early part of the last year, swelled the list, and we have*had several arrivals since the first of January inthe present year. The following offi- cial table will enable the reader to form a rough estimate of the amount and the extent to which the spirit of emigration has reached in the diffe- Trent countries. +++ «53,180 careful of his own prospects he appears to be. His career has indeed been a wonderful one—no one admitting him to possess talent, but all con- tributing to place him in the highest position that any mancan reach inthis country. Acci- dent may have hed something to do with it, but accident must be combined with some talent, some wisdom, some genius, some spirit, and some intrivue, before it can be successful in all its movements, as it has been in the career of Mr. Polk. Itis very well known that Mr. Trist’s mission was settled and agreed upon before the concurrence of the Seeretary of State was asked. Some people suppose that Mr. Polk consults a few private friends about him in Washington, and that he has a special and private cabinet of his own—“ a kitchen cabinet’—which guides hi- conduct andsettles his convictions. We begin ta think itis very doubtin! whether Mr. Polk has any cabinet otherthan that which God and nature have givenhim. We are very much disposed to think that he keeps his own counsels, and takes his advice from no one but himself, unless it is a sing! He possesses much self-de- great humility of character, open counte- ce and disposition; buat under these profes- sions the result of his condact points to intense ambition of all kinds. With these views of the peculiar character of Mr. Polk, we are very much disposed to think that no treaty that has been negotiated by Mr. ‘Trist or General Scott, when it shall have been received at Washington, will be sent to the Se- nate for confirmation, until after the decision of the democratic national convention for nominating a candidate for the next Presidency shall have met in May next. No! withstanding the numerous candidates pre- sented by the democratic party from different parte of the country, there can be no doubt that Mr. Poll, for the good of his country, would ae- cept another nomination; and there can be little doubtthathe is shaping his measures and his plans in such a way as to bring about that result. If, under any circumstances, or under any com- bination of influences in the Baltimore conven- tion, any other man than Mr. Polk should be se- lected, then it is probable thdt Mr. Polk would send in such a treaty at once, if he had it in his hands, and endeavor to settle the question of peace with Mexico, before the elec- tion in November next. One of the principal and most important issues on which the demo- rotie party could go into the election, is un- oubtedly that of holding on to Mexico, and pre- senting to the public the acquisition of the whole of that extensive and beautiful country.

Even the East Indies and Turkey, seem to have awa- kened to a sense of the importance of seeking a home and a refuge, under the starry folds of our national banner. Verily, we are destined to be a mighty nati Cuurcn Rowpyism. erhaps no more scan- dalous custom, or habit, or abuse, does not exist in this city, than that of blocking up the church doors on Sundays, by squads of genteelly dressed rowdies, who make it a practice to insult, and sture every lady that passes in and out of church, in most of our churches in this city. We have heard repeated complaints made of this scanda- lous,practice, and would suggest the propriety of having it puta stop to. There is a class of gen- teel pickpockets who infest this city, and upon some occasions these make their way to the church doors, to join the groups of gazers that flock there. Hence we often hear of some beau- tifully bound prayer book, some kerchief or reticule being ‘‘ lost at church.” We trust that those who go to church, will remain inside while the service is going on, as they should do, and then divine worship will not be desecrated by such scenes as these. It is an undoubted fact that many of these young men inake a prac- tice of only going as far as the church door, and never put their feet inside it. They merely go for the purpose of lounging their hour away, or gazing upon some famous belle as she passes in er out. This abuse should be put a stop to, and | then we would have more religion amongst our young men. Tur Gaines Case. publish in this day’s paper the argument, so far as received, of Wm.

After three successive nights, Madame Biscaccianti was pronounced by all those critics as « failure —without taste or talent, with a ruined voir, &ec. &e. Biscaccianti went to Boston, and there she was received with the most extraord- nary epplause.

In giving way to the prejudice and caprice of the public, one is guilty of s complsisance which is injurious to everybody, and art is turned into a mere trade, without honcr or profit. According to this admirable article, which contains a great deal of truth and more exagge- ration, the American fashionable public are con- demned as ignorant and incompetent in music, opera, taste, and every thing, connected with the fine arts—to say nothing of moustaches, na- tural and dyed in the wool. This cor tion is about to be reviewed and determined a second time to-night, on the appearance and performance of Madame Biscaccianti. That artist was pronounced by the same au- thorities as incompetent, and unfit in every way to sing the réle of Amina; and she is now coupled in the same category of incom- petence, with the fashionable and musical community of New York. This condemnation | as we have said, was concurred in by the dis- tinguished musical critics of the Courier and Enquirer, as well as those of the Ezpress and some other journals. Biscaccianti, however, with a courage that resembles that which fought the battles of Buena Vista, or Cerro Gordo, is determined to have a no judgment, or whether she has no talent, or She is of an ton being, we believe, according to the best geo- graphical authority, a city of the United States, and known in the history of this country at least; and, therefore, we expect the courage of Biscaccianti must have grown and fed on the same native air which animated the heroes of Buena Vista and Cerro Gordo; for certainly it isno ordinary courage that would make her, after what has been said against her by the mu- sical critics of New York, ask a rehearing—to say nothing of moustaches, natural and dyed in the wool. With these views of the matter, we should not be at all surprised to see one of the most fashion- able crowds at the opera to-night, that ever graced the Actor Place theat In Boston the tickets for Biscaccianti’s benefit were usually sold at auction, athigh premium prices. If such a thing were attempted here to-day, we have no doubt they would be sold at double the regular price. he importance of the question to be de- termine 1s almoet equal to that of peace with Mexico, or the annexation of the whole of that republic to the United States, viz.: whether the highly distinguished and learned French critics of New York monopolise all the musical genius and taste of this country, and whether fashion- able society in New York, is not a group of ig- norance, incompetence and folly, including also the same judgment on the unfortunate musical and fashionable society of Boston, who are al- ready committed to the opinion that Madame Biscaccianti is really a superior artist—to say nothing of moustaches, natural and dyed in the wool. The house, therefore, under these views, will be the most brilliant that ever was seen there. The managers, Seftoni, Sanquirico & Co., will smile at w crowds and at the money they will receive ; the box keepers will be more polite than usual, and the very door-keeper’s face will be all round with smiles and radiance, like a full moon, as the crowds of ladies, dressed in the gayest style, crowd in, to determine this highly impor- tant question in music and fashion.
