At the approaching elestion, the democratic pare ty bids fair to be in the sa:ne position that the whig party were in four yearaago Under the | influence of the young magician—Mr. John Van | Buren—in this State, a large secession will, no | doubt, be made from the democratic party in the ensuing election throughout the free States, and we do not know but that it may amount to e larger number than that which g»ve success to Mr. Polk et the last election. This moveme:t is going ahead fast; and the cordial intercourse between Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Clay, here and | elsewhere, means something or nothing; but we | rather think it means something Under this view, Mr. Clay hes a chance of | getting the vote of New York, py the secession | from the democratic ranks under the Wilmot proviso noise. | | ment in favor of Generai T»ylor, commenced in ‘Was proof positive that he is wath to be an officer ot our poliee; and we call om the Mayor to exa- mine into the matter, and if it be so, that he be dismissed from that office, as utterly incompe- tent. But this is not all. We have another com- plaint to make against another policeman.— Another of our reporter’, who had been assigned | to tuke care of the procession, at Mr. Clay’s re- e*ption, was very politely accommodated by the committee, with @ seat in the carriage following tinmediately after that in which Mr. Clay was seated, in the procession; and when Mr. C. and the coinmiitee had entered the hotel of his desti- Nation, our repoter called upon Alderman Cro- lius, of the S-venteenth ward, to know ifhecou'd not be edmitted into the hotel, that he might more fully give the »roceedings of the day. The Alderman then took him by the hand for the pur- pose of conducting him into the house, when the captain of the E ghteenth ward police— William | Wall street, and embracing all the leading friends of Mr. Webst: rin the whig party, boih here, and probably in New England, looks rather | ominous for Mr. Clay; but it reaches no further vention. If Mr. Clay’s friends in the Northern States, and throughout ihe country, secure dele- | gates to that convention, and so secure the no- mination, they will ultimately secure the votes of Mr. Webster’s whig friends in those States 8 Johnson—knowing for what purpose he wished to be admitted, jommed the door upon him, and it was not unti! A\dermen Crolius spoke and act- ed with his sutiori‘y that he was admitted. This was a clear agsau!t and battery, and a viola- tion of law. We als» cail upon the Mayor to examine this case, «nd to act accordingly. Our reporters are engaged for the public good, asmuch as the police, aud ought, on such occa- sions, to have every aitention extended te them for Mr. Clay. Yet it must be observed that | this movement, instigated by the friends of Mr. | Webster, under the incnile of Gen. Taylor, very | much resembles the movement commenced by some of the same men—iocluding Thurlow | Weed and Horace Greeley—eight years ago, under the mantle of General Scott, by which Mr. Clay was cheated, and General Harrison ; | unfortunately nominated and elected President. | The Webster whigs of the-present day, are bold | and open in opposition to Mr. Clay’s nomina- | tion. The old anti-masonic, and the new Fou- | tierite whigs, are more secret, more clandestine; but not more reliable, unless for their own ad- ventage. Mr. Clay has his chanecs; but if there | are chances for any other man--either Tom , Corwin, or Judge McLean, or some other man better for their interests—no doubt Weed and | Greeley would abandon Mr. Clay as they did | eight years ago, and take up that other min. | These arethe prospects, position, and elements, | which are discussed in the political circles now surrounding Mr. Clay in this city. According to the best information that we can reach, it is determined toadhere to Mr. Clay’s nomination, and to insist on the whig national convention | putting him before the people fr the last time, under the belief, that in the present condition of parties in the northern States, Mr. Olay will | have a better chance of being elect d P esident, } against any candidate of the dem »eracy, tran he had on any former occasion. We think, how- | ever, that the whole of the Webster whigs will endeavor to cheat Mr. Clay cut of a noinination at the Philadelphia convention, avd that the | anti-masonic and Fourierite wh gs of New York may be honest for this once, only, by porticular | desire—but we would not bet $200 on their ho- | nesty. In the mean time, the democratic party presented a memorial from the New York His- | will have to put forth their first min, or they may torical Society, relative to the census of 1850 Mr. R. Johnson reiterated a call, made some time since, for a list of the deaths in the army iv Mexico, since the commencement of the war. The deficiency bill, from the House, was re- ceived and referred. In the House, a bill was introduced providing for the civil and diploma- tic expenses of the government. A joint reso- lution of thanks to the army, was offered by Mr. R. Smith, of Illinois. The joint resolution allowing bounty lands to soldiers promoted out of the ranks, was taken up, and after some dis- cussion, referred to the committee of the whole A bill changing the time of holding circuit courts in the Southern district of New York, and to abolish the May term at Albany, was passed. The transactions in our State Legislature, and other intelligence, will be found under the tele- @raphic head. ” Mx, Clay In New Yors.—His Position and, Probable Prospects. Mr. Clay has been in this city nearly three days end three nights, and may remain among us till Mondsy. He has received an enthusias- tic reception, though his procession was by no means very numerous. fact, the demonstra- tion in tavor of the living statesman was far in- ferior to that given to the deceased patriot. This is but right. Mr. Clay bus been, at the New York Hotel, feasted, and toasted, and sung at. He has visited a number of his private friends, such as honest Willis Hall, ‘glorious Joe Hoxie,’ venerable rich John Jacob Astor, and he even visited ex- President Ven Buren, at Julien’s Hotel. Last evening the ex-President and the ex-Senator, both made their appearance at the ball at the Broadway theatre, and seemed to be the geyest of that o-y throng. They did not dance. In short, Mr. Clay has been well received in New York—with about as muchenthueiasm, and an equal quantity of good feeling, as that which eharacterised his progress in 1839. What is the meaning of this? we say again. Isithenes'? Isit veritable? What will itlead to? Wiilitheiptomake him President? Has itchanged his disposition in reference to trying hieluck egain at the great contest? Are his friends as numerous and as faithless as they were in 18397 Is it a big bubble, or a big truth? Will he be cheated in Philadelphia es he was once in Harrisburg? These are important questions in this particu- jar crisis of public affairs, and of Mr. Clay’s career. According to the best information we can get, the position of political affairs in this city and State, and in this section of the Union, is represented to Mr. Clay to be of such a ¢ha- racter, as to give him great hopes and encourage- ment in the next contest for the Presidency— even far beyond tue prospect that flattered him in 1889. The working leaders of the whig party in this State, represented by Thurlow Weed, ef Albany, and Horace Greeley, of New York, profess to be in favor of Mr Clay. They promise faithiully to him honestly, and to cheat no longer. In addition to this asssurance, the position of Mr. Van Buren, and a certain section of the democratic party which has led off in favor of the Wilmot proviso, leads Mr. Clay and his friends into the belief that his chances at the | next election are better than they have been on | any former occasion. The cordial friendship that appears to exist between Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Cla: warrant the belief that there is an understand- ing between the Wilmot proviso democrats of this State and the whig party, by which the former are pledged to support Mr. Clay, not posi- | tively, but negatively, at the ensuing Presidential election proviso delegates by the Baltimore convention, and the excitement that will be caused by thet rejection, tend to encourage and foster the be- lief that these differences among the democracy will teke place, at ail events and at all hazards, in this State This curious state of things leaves an open- ing for Mr Clay’s success at the epproaching election, similar to that which gave succese to Mr. Polk at the lest election At the election in 1844, the whig party in this State, and throughout the free States, lost a con siderable portion of their force by the Birney black movement. The anti-slavery secession took aw v, at that time, between fifty and sixty tousane ‘otes from the whig party, and, by the Albert Gallatin, and the | support and what has been exhibited during | the last few days in this city, would seem to | The.expected rejection of the Wilmot | | be left in an awful minority in th: present state of affairs throughout the country. Tue RoruscHiLgs anp THR New Loan.—So the Rothschilds, the great fivanciers of Europe, | are beginning to understand their own interests, to butter their own toast, and to extend their friendship and patronage to the Uuited States | government. It apears that their agents at Washington—Cor- coran and Riggs—have taken nesr'y four mil- lions of the five million loan, !eavinzahout amil- lion to be distributed among the sins Il financiers of our largest cities, in oréerto jast stay their stomachs and stop their noise, if avy should be made. The Rothschilds conld have t-ken the whcle loan as easily as four-fitths; but 1 would have caused a great deal of dissatisfaction among the petty capitalists of our commercial | cities, who would have made a terrible racket if the United States government had been shaved by the Rothschilds alone, without atlowing the native shavers to have e chance at its chops, ag | Sir James Grant of Granton, berb-r, No. 1 Ann street, has at the chops of his customers—price | a sixpence. This financial movement is only what we pre- dicted of the far-reaching sxgueity and intuitive genius of the Rothschilds towards any go- | vernment- or any powrr which wanted to borrow, which was tble to pey, and which | was willing to give a good per centoge fc: | such acts of generosity, shaving, and pr triotiem. There is no government iv Europe which has a financial power and eapacity, in any point of view, to be compared with the United | States.

The exclusion and unfortunate. The gem of the funeral obse- quies to the memory ot Mr. Adams, was a very beautiful, pious end admirable prayer, made by the Rev. Isaac F-rris over his sainted remains. Our reporter intended to have taken the prayer verbatim, aud publish it next morning. But his intention was irustrated by the folly and incom- will act with promptness and decision in both these outrageous cases of a “little brief authori- ty,” improperly used to obstruct the public good. InTELLIGENCE FROM Montevipgo.—By the bark R. H. Douglass, Captain Norville, from Monte- video, we have received El Conservador and Comercio del Plata, ot the 18th and 19th January. The columns of these papers are filled with articles against Rosas, on whom the Comercio, especially, 1s very severe, declaring that under his rule the Argentine Republic has no judicial power independent of him; thet justice is per- verted, the officers of the law a mere set of tools, who humbly and submissively take all the buf- fets, reproofs, and insults, which Rosas chooses to heap on them; and so on in this strain, through more than a column. All this, however, comes, of Rosas’s administration; and from the extreme virulence of the party press in Montevideo and Buenos Ayres, no more attention is probably given to it than to the savage diatribes which the party press in this country ofien indulge in to- wards one another. There had been some burglaries committed on the warehouses ot Messrs. Rodger, Brothers & Co., in Montevideo, and considerable proper- ty stolen. ‘ Quite a number of American vessels were at Montevideo; a list of them was given in yes- terday’s Herald, under our maritime head. We are indebted to the kindness of a mercan- tile house for the following extracts from letters, dated Montevideo, 19th January :— “Three vessels, (two Brazilian and one English) in attem) to run the blockade, had been cay by the French blookeding squadren, and, with their car- goes, condemned as lawful prizes, and ordered to be sold on the 18th inst. “The blockade is now most rigidly engoreed—the French making @ complete line across the river with their steamers and other men of war, say from peahsds on the Argentine side, to Colonia. on the Oriental wide. This rigid enforcement of the blookade bas been dome by the Frenoh, in consequence of Rosas closing the port of Buenos Ayres against the trade of Montevideo. “The few vessels which are now loading, will take all the produce which we have on hand; and the trade with Buenos Ayres being now effectually stopped, you must not expect any thing trom here for some time to come ”’ The rumor received herevia Rio Janeiro, that Oribe had made an assault on the grand square of Montevideo, through the cemetery, and hed been repulsed with much loss on his side; and that this repulse had been much aided by the well-directed fire oftwo French steamers-of- war, it appears ig unfounded. Dites from Buenos Ayres tg the 13th Ja had been receiv dat Montevieo. Busines#&d very dul!, and the blockadeswas kept up with more strictness thanever. On the 18th, two ves- sels had been seized by the blockading squadron, viz: the Argentine schooner Palma, and the Brazilian schooner Eduardo, which latter was on her way from Buenos Ayresto Rio Janeiro, loaded with beer. Four other vessels (names not given) had been sized at the Ensenada, and three at Buenos Ayres. The market was very in- active ; doubloons #1 £94 dollars, and dull. This state of affairs was attributed to the many ship- ments expected to arrive, and it was thought that on their arrivai the market for the produce of the country would ir rove. Rumors were in that two new ministers—one from France ard one irom England—were ex- pected to treat definitively with Rosas. Letters had been received in Montevideo from Corrientes, up to the 19 h of December. On the h, a new Congres was inetalled in that capi- the worth of all the stocks of al! the governments | | of Europe depends upon the ivyai'y of fifty or exx | ty thousand troops ass mbled abyut Paria. At | the last accounts there were strong symptoms o! disaflection, approaching to a revolutionary , | émeute, at Paris. The citizens of that great city, | and the people throughout France, are opposed | j to the present dynasty; and the only reliance | | which can be placed upon the continuance | of peace in Europe—on which the value | of all government stocks depencs—is derived solely from the troops which are around | Paris. If these should fraternize with the people inany popular movement which might break | out—as the royal troops did in the revolution of | 1880, and as the Neapolitan troops have done lately at Palermo, in Sicily—there will be a ge- neral revolution throughout France, which will extend to the States of Germany, and throughout Europe. Then what will become of the stocks 7 | They will vanish into thin air! Rothschilds, and the lesser capitalis's with him, are beginning, therefore, to see on which | side it will be best to butter their bread. They | | are beginning to see it is beat for them to trane- | | fer their operations to this side the Atlanticy where security reigns, and the prospect of se- curity is uninterrupted, and where prosperity and peace may be expected to endure tor the next two or three centuries. ALDERMAN MaYNARD ano Tus iikpowTERS— n censuring Alderman Maynard, chairman of | the committee of arrangements forthe funeral | procession of the Hon, John Quiucy Adama, we | | are intormed that we did that geat!eman much injustice, and we take the firet opportunity of making an amende, No such directions, we are credibly informed, were given by txat gentle- man to the officer in charge of ‘he Governor's | room in the City Hall, to exclude ail persons from there except the commitiee, &*, even the inembers of the press. On the coatrsiy, we learn from a gentleman who heard Alderman May- nard’s directions in the metter, that he expli- citly desired the officer to adini’ reporiera. We are glad of this, for the reputation of our city; it would be, indeed, too disgraceful for one of our City Council to be so ignorant of the rights of th press on aa occasion jk» that. In making thi correction, due to A’lerman May- nard, we,al he same time, desire to know what right or business had the officer in sttendance, Mr. Norris, we believe, is hie neme— to ex- clude reporte ,om that occasion! His doing so tal; it was composed of the same representatives in 1843, duriee t5 nistration’ of Gover- nor Cabral, and who hed emigrated to Entrerios, in consequence ef the ye-action in the province ta +. on the T4th, nominated Don Ben- 1 soro Governor of the Province, and he essuned his office on the 15th. He had pre- viously been nominated provisional Governor on the Ist December, Madariaga, and those who took part with him in the late revolutionary movements, having been completely put down. The city of Corrientes was almost entirely de- serted. From the coast of Entrerios, on the Pa- rana, letters had also been received to the 29:h December. On the 26th, vessels had begun to ascend the river for Corrientes, the traffic being then entirely free. There wasa rumor of the death «f Madariaga; it was {certain that both the brothers of that name had fled to Paraguay. Irautan Orsra—Its Unnarey Suspension.— Enquiries have been addressed to us from all quarters, desiring to know ifthe Italian Opera is to be re-opened again, and what is to be the fate | of that establishment ? Really we do not know; and we doubt very | much whether the managers themselves, or the singers, or any body connected with the Opera, know more than we do. The suspension has been announced as intended to be continued for several weeke, and that the house is to re-open upon the return of a portion of the troupe from Philadelphia. But this appears to be very doubt- ful. We rather think the subscribers will lose a portion of their subscription, and will have to put up with the loss the best way they can. This is rather a melancholy termination to what was promised us in the beginning—that it would be a splendid operatic campaign; but it is bad management which has caused it. Sanqui- rico and Patti, the ostensible managere, have had very little real power. We understand they have themselves been managed by a party behind the curtains, who, perhaps, know more about the price of stocks, or cotton, or pork, or ecod- fish, than about tenors or voc: Yet there are excellent materials in this city to inetitute a paying and pleasing Opera, located in some cen- tral theatre, and to pass from city to city, ac- cording tothe season. The recent attempt has been made in an expensive and wasteful manner. No economy appears to have been used; and hence the failure. Really, we think there ought to be a meeting of the subscribers and opera lovers, in order to ascertain what prospects there may be of are- construction of the Opera, in some new shape or form, inthis unhappy city, in order to save us from suicide and utter despair. from the City Ha!l wes particularly atrocious petency of apoliceman.

Several Senators are to speak to-day ; | and it isdoubtful whether the case will be settled before to-morrow. Itis said that a motion will be made to-day to strike out the fifteen millions, and to leave the amount subject to future ascer- tainment. DESPATCH NO. 2. Wasuineron, March 9—10 o'clock P. M. ‘The Senate has adjourned without a verdict on the treaty. It will be materially altered in its details. The church monopolies and land grants will be expunged—the plan of payment of the fifteen milliens modified. The questions now are, shall the treaty be adopted as amended ? or shall it be rejected and commissioners appointed with instructions fora new treaty, and with dis- cretionary powers? An opinion prevails to-night that the latter plan will be successful ; but there isa strange belief that the amended treaty will be adopted, and commissioners appointed to ne- gotiate the amendments with Mexico. To-mor- row will determine the question. Yesterday, Mr. Webster and Mr. Foote had a passage at arms, upon the subject. To-day, the discussion hasbeen conversational, rather than deliberative, and upon incidental questions. ‘ DESPATCH NO. 8. ‘Wasutneton, March 9, 1848. The Senate adjourned at half-past five o’clock, without voting on the ratification of the treaty. The day was spent in introducing frivolous pro- positions. It was agreed, at length, to adjourn, with the understanding ‘that the Senate shall positively vote to-morrow on the question of Tatification. Mr. Westcott is now reported to be its last strenuous opponent. I mentioned in my letter of last evening, that the Rothschilds and Cercoran & Riggs obtained over three millions of the loan. This was a mistake ; they obtained but two millions nine hundred thousand. The premium ranges from 126 to 2, and averages 1.27. I believe this is the highest average premium ever obtained by this government before the treasury notes were advertised by the Secretary. The Rothschilds, through their agent, Mr. Belmont, offered to take the whole of the loan at the premium of half per cent. N. Affairs In Washington, Wasuincton, March 9, 1848. It is understood that eight Senators alone will take a decided part in opposition to the treaty. Mr. Cass will press the ten regiments bill, and endeavor to force it through together with the treaty. Mr. Webster and others will speak on the bill, and it will be negatived. John Van Buren is here busy among the poli- ticians; and Cassius M. Clay lectures to-night on Mexico. It has been raining all day. The rumor that General Scott refused a court martial is very doubtful. ZHIRTIETH COAGREES. FIRST SESSION. Senate. ‘Wasuinaton, March 9, 1848. The Senate having been called to order by the Vice President, its deliberations were preceded, as usual, by prayer. It was to-day offered by Rev. Mr. Guaer, the Chaplain of the House. A variety of petitions and memorials were presented, and referred to the appropriate committees. THE CENSUS OF THE UNITED sTaTES. Mr. Dix, of New York, presented a petition from the Historical Society of the city of New York, praying that Congress would take early action in regard to the census of 1850-—-so as to ensure greater accuracy than was obtained by the census of 1840—-which was held, in many particulars, to be very imperfect. It was duly re~ ceived and referred. TERRITORY FOR MISSIONS. Mr. Foor, of Miesissippi, presented a petition trom the Baptist convention, that territory be set apert for the exclusive use of missionaries among the Indian tribes on the western borders of the United States. Received and ordered to be printed. IRY AS TO THR NUMBER OR DEATHS IN MEXICO, fae Jounson would respectfully inquire of Chair whether the Secretary of War had as yet an- swered the call made upon him by « resolution of the Senate, adopted December 30th. This was for a report of the whole number cf troops sent to Mexico since the commencement of the war, the number who bad been Killed in battle, the number who bad died in conse” quence of wounds received in battle, and the number who had perished from diseases contracted in the service. The Cuain replied that no answer had yet been re. ceived to the resolution. Mr. Jouxson then eaid that unless an answer were speedily forthcoming he should move fora renewal of the call. DUTIES OF JUDGES OF THE V.# SUPREME CoURT.

Mr. Bares, of Virginia, presented a eommun ication asking that Congress would make provisions for the in- terment of the remains of oflcers brought home frem Mexico in public vessels, and not interred. It ws, on motion, referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. THANKS TO THE WHOLE ARMY IN MRXICO. Mr. Rowent Smirn, of Illinois, offered « joint resolu. tion of thanks to the whole army, offlcers and men, that have served in the war with Mexico. Several members rose, and offered objections to suth a resolution, the principal point of which was that it was tco wholesale and indiscriminate a method of doi ng the thing.

Benedetti was even better than in Edgar Ravenewood; the benutiful duet, “@uai si tt sfugee un moto” was rapturously enoored, and it owed much of its effect to the masterly effect of his execution.

Until we heard this magnificent tenor, the sopra- | no of an opera used to be its chief attraction, but Truffl is lost, forgotten entirely, when he is singing with her. Of the merits of the prima denna, t baz:rd an opinion; we must hear again. The operas, asa whole, was enthusiastically received, and will con- tinue to tractive.
