Our government securities are improving, This morning, Treasury Notes and United States 6's ad- vaneed 34, Harlem declined 14; Canton Co.,1; Erie Rallroad, 3. The commercial intelligence from Europe by the steamship America does not amount to much, It is similar to that received by several previous packets, and the most favorable feature in it is, that there has deen no reaction, no falling off in prices. Although the improvement has been exceedingly slow, it is gra- tifying that any change for the better has been real- jued; that we are progressing instead of receding; and that there is somo prospect of a steady, gradual recovery from the long depression commercial affairs have suf- fered so seriously from. ‘here isa wide margin for an improvement in prices for every species of property, but it will, we fear, be a long time before it willbe completely covered; and in the mean time we must content ourselves with moderate profits and limited transactions, We do not wish to sce a very rapid re- covery from the diseases which prostrated the body financial and commercial : we wish to sce a healthy and substantial improvement in all the elements of taade, and there will be less danger of a relapse ora collapse, than which there is nothing more disastrous, The suspension of the Canal Bank of Albany ha, brought to light some of the most eutrageous frauds eve * perpetra :d, any one of which is sufficient to consign the authors to the cells of a penitentiary. The officers of that institution were not satisfied with ruining thei: own stockholders, bill holdexs and depositors, but they must, if porsible, ruin the credit of other banks, and drag down with them institutions which, but for the connection, would contiaue solvent. ‘ Itappears that when the Canal Bank of Albany failed, there was a charge upon its books of $91,00 against the Pratt Bank of Buffalo. The report of the com- missioner, appointed by the comptroller to investigate the matter, states, that upon a thorough examination of the books, pepers, and officers of the Pratt Bank, no euch indebtedness appears, and that the affairs of the bank were in asound condition, and had been prudent- ly managed. The character of those who have recently managed the affairs of the Canal Bank of Albany, is pretty clearly illustrated by this act, and if the same ras- cality bas been exhibited in all their transactions, Hea- ven help the creditors of that concern. A week or two ago we gave an account of the arrest of the cashier of the Canal Bank upon a charge of fraud, preferred by an individual who bad purchased of him (the cashier) about fifteen hundred dollars’ worth of the stock of the bank, sometime in April last, upon his representing the institution perfectly solvent, when he must have known that the concern was rotten to the very core.

Since the death of the compromise bi'l, the topic re ee = of greatest interest has been the correspondence of commence at 7 Mr, Blair and Mr. Tappan, giving some of their | reminiscences concerning the annexation of Texas. Thave reason to kn ow that this correspondence is merely prefatory, and that many other charges of | grave import against Mr. Polk are shortly to ap- pear. ‘The accusation in the present instance 1s, of having deceived half a dozen grave Senators and a very experienced editor, by positive falsehood. | This would be a matter of little interest, if it did not involve an important historical question. In this aspect alone it may be regarded as worthy ex- amination. The simple fact of Mr. Polk having practised deception on his political friends 1s not so uncommon or so singular as to create surprise. ‘The joint regolution tor the annexation of Texas | firet passed the House of Representatives in the form of Mr. Bown’s proposition, as amended bt Mr. Douglass. It passed the Senate with the ad- dition ot Mr. Benton’s proposition, and a clause authorizing the President of the United States to propose which of the two modes he should deem the more advisable, The difference between the two propositions was this: All that was necessary by the toee resolution was, that the Congress ci Texas should be eailed together, that its con- sent should be given to the provisions of the reso- luton, and that a constitution should be adopted by the people in convention, to be submitted to Congress for its approval in the same manner as when one of eur own territories 1s admitted as a State. Mr, Benton’s plan provided that the Con- gress of Texas should convene—form a State—ap- point commissioners to meet and confer with commissioners to be appointed on our part, to 44 ee on the terms on which the State should be admitted ; that the people of such State should then call a convention, frame a constitution, and submit i to the Congress of the United States for approval. as bh EN r Jvery proposition originating with Mr. Benton isa hobby with that gentleman, and it is needless to sey that his fiieuds must get astride on it, if they would preserve his friendship; accordingly, itseems, that by Mr, Benton’s friends in the Be. nate, his proposition, for the annexation of ‘Texas, was regarded as the one alone proper and feasible. It appears by the statements of Mr. Blair and Mr. Tappan, that Mr. Benton and his friends entered mto a nice little arrangement with Mr. Polk. ‘The bargain was that the joint resolution should pass in the form in which it did eventually pass ; that be | is, that it should embody both propositions and leave the selection to the President ; Mr. Polk, on his part, binding himself to adopt Mr. Benton’s ylan. | They never dreamed that Mr. Tyler might exercise his constitational right to carry into eflect ed during his administration, ‘This a measure te ' . proved to an unfortunate oversignt, for Mr. Tyler did carry itinto effect; and did adopt, not ci Mr. Benton's plan, Mr. Brown’s, On ‘Churs- day night, February 27th, 1845, the joint resolu- tion passed the Senate as amended by Mr. Walker. On the next day, the 28th, it passed the House, and on Saturday, March 1, it received the approval of the executive. Two days remained of the term of Mr. ‘Tyler, and instead of abiding by the litle arrangement made between Mr. Benton and Mr. Polk, he chose te act for himself. Accord- ingly, on Monday, the of March, a despatch was sent off to Mr. Donaluson, our charge, by Mr. Calhoun, then Secretary of State, authorising him formally to submit Mr. Brown’s proposition to the government of ‘Texas. The folly of the arrange- ment between Mr, Polk and Mr Benton’s friends, will be wpparent, when it1s reflected that it was conceived ina spiritot hostility to Mr. Tyler and Mr. Calhoun—that they had notentered into it in any way——that there is not any evidence that they were even aware of it—and still, that Mr. Benton and his friends expected them to be bound by it. There is nothing more clear than that Mr. Tyler had a jight to send off'a messenger with a copy of the joint resolution, and yet, for the precise of this nght, both he aud Mr, Cx ven de. noniced by Mr. Benton in unmegsured terms of Vitnperation. But there was another little Bancroft’s appointment hang torfive days in the Senate, alter his nomination. It appears by Mr. Blai’s statement, that Mr. Dix, in # personal in- terview with Mr. Polk, was urged by the latter to procure Mr. Vancroft’s immediate confirmation, for the reason that the President was anxious to send off a messenger to Texas to undo what Mr. Tyler d done; that is, to withdraw the House proposition, and to substitute Mr. Benton’s. It is probable that Mr. Dix, and the other friends of Mr. enton, on this understanding, did interest them- selves to carry into efiect the wish of the Presi- dent; for, on the 10th of March, Mr. Bancroft was confirmed as Seeretary of the Navy, and on the same day Mr. Buchanan sent off'a despatch to Mr. Denaldsou—to (withdraw the House proposition? Not at all, but to say, totedem verdis—that “President Tyler having thus determined to adopt the two first of the series of resolutions in- stead of the alternative presented by the third, it became the duty of the President (Polk) to devote his attention to this important question at as early amoment us possible. This has been done, and us Celiberations have resulted in a clear and firm conviction that it would be inexpedient to reverse the decision of his predecessor,” _The query suggested by this interesting litle piece ot history 1s, did Mr. Dix tell a deliberate falsehood to Mr. Blair, or did Mr. Polk tell a de- liberate falsehood to Mr. Dix ?_ However this be, Mr. Benton’s charge against Mr. Calhoun talls to the ground, that the sending off that midaight mes- eenger to Texas on the third of March was the onginal cause of the Mexican war; for it appears that Mr. Polk would have taken the same course if that messenger had never beén gent off, as it was his *tclear and firm conviction” that Mr. Cal- honn’s course was the right one. Mr. Calhoun, 1n his despatch of March 3, had declared that * it cannot be doubted that the Con- vss of Texas may propose whatever amendments it may think essential, and transmit them to the government ef the United States for its conside- yation and agreement.” Mr. Buchanan feared that this license to the Congress of Texas to alter and modify the terms of annexation would inde- finitely delay the consummation of the measure, and the main intention of his despatch of March seems I0to have been to urge Mr. Donaldson to i upon the government of ‘Texas that any tinn or modification would be fatal to arrangement, Mor, veure, adds in no smiall de; of this historical reminisce that Mr. Cal- houn’s friends in the House declare they would never have voted for the addition of Mr. Benton’s ternatitve the House proposition, but that they had an understanding, derived, as they were led to believe, from the Immediate assurances ot Mr. Polk, that he was wholly in favor of the House resolution at the very time that he is accused by Mr, Toppan and Mr. Blair of having led them to believe he was in fator of Mr. Benton's. GaLviessis. to the poigaancy Wasninaton, Angust 4, 1848. The Anderson Letter—Mr. Botts—Mr. Phetj Messrs. Hutchings. A letter from Mr. Crittenden is published in the Intelligencer of this morning, virtually denying that he ever wrote the Anderson letter. As I was the first to notice the existence of this letter, | will state the facts of the case. Some weeks ago a Mr. Sneleon, of this city, exhibited to severa members of the House of Representatives a letter which he declared he had received from a young lawyer ef Cincinnati, named Anderson. ‘This letter stated thatthe writer, Anderson, had received from Mr. Crittenden, before the Philadelphia Con vention, a letter urging him to endeavor to have ‘Teylor delegates sent to the convention, ridiculing the pretensions of Mr. Clay--declaring that he could not succeed if nominated, and more to that efiect. Mr. Snelsor afterwarfs exlubited another letter, puiporiing to be written by a gentleman in Taltimore, of eimnilar umport. A letter from Mr Crittenden, dated July 22, ap- pears ina Kentucky paper, challenging the pro- ducticn of this letier, and denying that he ever wrote it. One of two things is certain—either Mr. Crittenden never wrote the letter or he was m ion of the original, and of all direct evi posse x dence of existence, before he wrote this d vial. The latter surmise is only justifiable by Mr. Crittenden’s late unexplained and extraordi- nory lapse of Memory in relation to his vote against the adoption of the constitution. If Mr. Snelson has terged this letter, no terms of reprobation are too strony to be applied tohim. The t that he exhibited the letter, I state on the authority of several gentlemen ot the highest reepectability— members of the House of Representatives—whose nomes Lhave their permission to mention if neces ly. ¢ ye Th seipt of a letter from Mr, ¢ y denying ther be (Mir.

If his constituents were acquainted with the circumstances under which he was absent on the night of the ratification of the Mexican treaty, they might perhaps be able better to account for the facility with which he was persuaded to acqui- esce in Mr, Clayton’s bill. I forbear, at present, to mention those circumstances. This 1s the se- cond time Mr. Phelps owes Ins_ political existence to my forbearance. Thete is to be a mass meeting to-mght, and a procession, and a number of speeches, and music, and anextraordinary attempt to manufacture en- thusiasm in favor of Cass and Butler, ‘This is got up, a8 a matter of course, by a few expectant cor- morants desirous of signa if their zeal for the democratie candidates. The folly of such things in this place, where the people have not the right ot sufiroge, would be umusing, if the desiga were | not disgusting from its (ransparency. | Wasnineron, August 3, 1818. | The House of Representatives were en ed all day, and they are still atit, (half past 11 o'clock, P.M.) in discussing every subject which could possibly be imagined—the war, ‘Texanannexation, the veto, the Wilmot proviso, the Sierra Madre re- public, that is to be, Father Ritchie, Cave Johnson, &e., &e., &e. The pretext forall this irade, was the bill making appropriations for the army; but as amatter of course, the bill was not even alluded to. The most important point ¢f the discussion was that referring to the rumor of the movement forthe new Mexican republic, and Gen. Shields’ connection with it. We stated yesterday, that it was impossible that gallant officer had anything to do with it; and it will be seen, by reference to the debate, that Mr. Richardson, of ‘Ilhnois, confirms what we stated, Mr. Venable also denied that the President or the executive knew anything of the movement; and that they did not believe there was any truth init. After all, itis more than probable that the mare’s nest discovered by the Intelligencer is all fudge, and that Father ‘Joe Surface,” as Frank Bait christened him, has been imposed upon. Omeca. Wasuineton, August 4, 1848, The Senate, by an unusual eflort of generosity, to-day passed a bill giving Capt. —— pension of thirty dollars a month for the remainder of his life. Capt. —-———— was a brave and meritorious officer and served in the Tennessee Provisional regiment. In one of the brilliant en gagements under Gen. Taylor he was so severely wounded that his recovery may be deemed as miraculous as that of Gen. Shields. He received a ball in his right eye, which passed through his head and came out atthe back of his neck. In addition to this, he received a severe wound in —— a his cheek. The doctor’s certificate states that he 1s incapacitated from being able to earn his living; and besides the disfigurement, he suffers intense pain at times—portions of bone constantly coming away. Here, then, 1s the case of a brave and honorable man, whose life has been rendered worse than useless in the service of his country; and, as a reward, he receives the pittance of less than a dollar a day!

George Day, an interesting lad about twelve years old, was fatally injured yesterday afternoon onthe Market street railroad, by falling upon the 3 away thousands of dollars for nothing, under the pretence of ‘extra compensation;” but when a gallant and meritorious officer solicits wherewith to keep him from starving, they dole him out a sum far less than they pay tothe commonest servant in their employment. | Out upon such charity!

Omea@a. Wasutxeton, August 4, 1848, The Whigs and the Democracy—A Meeting of each Party--The Cass and Butler Procession Tri- umphant. ‘There were two political meetings in the city, to-night—a whig and a democratic gathering. The whig speaking was done from the platform erected in the open square at Seventh street and Pennsylvania avenue. They had some good speeches, and a very respectable meeting, numeri- cally and otherwise. The democrats made quite ademonstration. They proceeded to the avenue, up to their platform, near 13th street, with music, transparencies, and clusters of paper lanterns, on long staves held aloft. Near the stand they hada shower of sky-rockets, and opposite a bonfire was litup in the street. Some two or three thousand persons assembled to see and hear what all this signified. Father Ritchie presided. Several speeches were delivered; Senator Allen closing ihe talk, when, by order, the procession with its transparencies and lanterns re-organised, and marched down the avenue, es if on purpose to crow the whig meeting down. As the proces- sion passed by the whig gathering in all the pomp of fite ond drum, illuminated pictures, and paper lanterns, the whig band struck up and played most manfully in opposition, greeting the Cass and But- ler battalion with all sorts of groans, gibes and anathemas, laughter and imprecations, savage and bellicose. The democracy retorted in the same spirit, and the shouts for Cass and ‘Taylor, groans, cheers, and hard swearing were cotemporaneous, extemporaneous, mexplicable, and exceedingly n- diculous. There wasno hostile collision, however. ‘The procession passed on without harm down to Jackson Hall, near the United States Hotel, where Gen, Butler is quartered, where irom another plat- torm, the people were addressed by Col. R. M, Johnson, Gen. Sam Houston, Senator Bright, Capt. Dan Drake Ienrie. The boys invantime lighted np a large bonfire inthe street.

Smith, Cooke, Metcalfe, and Mangum, members of Con- gress, and Mr. Janney, of Virginia, and others, enter- tained the audience. At the former meeting, General Cass received a full share, and alittle over, of euloginm; and, at the latter, “ good measure, shaken down, and running over,” of abuse, At the one, democracy was the very, just the thing to save the country; at the other, the element of ail that is hateful, poisonous, and hydrophobic.
