Kew York, Saturday, January 27, 1849. The Ocean Steamers. There were no tidiggs of either the United States or Canada when the Herald went to press this morning. It the former sailed as advertised, she is now in her eighteenth day, and the latter in her fourteenth. They will bring two weeks’ later intelligence from all parts of Europe. General Taylor tratlon—[ts Difficulties. A good deal ot conjecture has been hazarded on the motives which actuated Mr. Clay in again ac. cepting the post of United States Senator in Con- gress, from the State of Kentucky, and entering afresh into the old political field, at Washington, during the incoming admioistration. On several occasions, of late years, Mr. Clay declared that he had entirely abandoned political life; and it would really seem as if some strong mouves must have impelled him to again consent to mingle, at this late period an his life, in public affairs in Washing- ton. From recent disclosures, it seems also that the motives which have worked on Mr. Clay’s mind Caninzt Maing in Wasuinaton.—For seme time past, cabinet making has not been so fashion- able as it was immediately after the election of General Taylor. For six weeks subsequent to the seventh of Nevember, the editors and politioians throughout the country drove a very hard business 1m cabinet making, and did not cease until ull their ingenuity, fancy, and taste were completely ex- hausted. A lull then succeeded ; but a new set of artificers has started up in Washington, whose attempts in this line of handicraft are beginning to attract some public attention. We al.ude to the recent meeting of the whig members of Congress from Penosylvania, which was held for the purpose of neminating a Secretary of the Treasury for General Taylor; thereby sav- ing him the trouble of advertising for or discover- wg one for himself. The Congreseional cabinet makers, however, coafine themselves to a single member of the cabinet, and thereby show their strong attachment to that invaluable principle of mechanical ingenuity-—the scientific divisioa of labor. They will not make a Secretary of State, or a Secretary of War, or a Secretary of the Navy ; nor will they touch on a Postmaster General. They are modesi, too, in estimating tieir own ca- pacity, and simply are endeavoring to construet a Secretary, out of a stick of Penusyivania timber ; and even this smull body of cabinet makers don’t know exactly what sort of timber to take. Accord- ing to their vote, 1t seems that they had three or four sticks before them; but one of them, labelled Andrew Stewart, was thought the most suitable to be put in the Treasury department. The reat were accordingly thrown on the weod-pile, to be used hereafter as kindling stuff. Seriously, however, the meetung of the Pennsyl- vania whig members of Congress, recommending a Secretary of the Treasury to General Taylor, 1s & gratuitous piece of 1mpudence, far greater, even, than the attempts of the editors and small poli ticians in the same line of business. The latter only endeavored to foretel who might have chances of being made cabinet officers; but the Pennsylvania delegation expect that the President elect will consider their resolutions as a species of instruction for his guidance in choosing his consti- tutional advisers. Tux Exzction or Sgnator at ALBany.—If Mr, Fillmore, the Vice President elect, and Mr. Fish, the Governor of this State, and the rest of the whigs composing the government at Albany, had any moral courage, they would not suffer them- selves to be overruled and made of no account, as they probably will be in the coming election for Senator, by the intrigues of Seward and Thurlow Weed, for the purpose of carrying their own schemes into effect. These persons are altogether opposed to the election of Seward as Senator, but are afraid to take decided ground against such a 1n coming to this determination, are hardly of the moet amiable character—they, io fact, partake more of resentment, or revenge, than of any affee- tation of friendship towards the 1ncoming adminis- tration of General Taylor. According to the accounts coming frem the West, Mr. Clay wrote some weeks ago to Gen. ‘Taylor, congratulating him on the success of his election, and intimating that he might tarry at Baton Rouge on his way to New Orleans, and make him a friendly visit at that quiet station. The accounts which have been furnished to the public, of the interview between them, do not give much encouragement for the belief that any very friendly relations exist between the President elect and the President non-elect. Future information, however, fiom that quarter of the couatry must be received, betore an accurate opinion can be formed of the state of relations between those two dis- guished men, or what may grow out of the position whieh they hold towards each other, in the fature administration of the government. Mr. Clay 1s not .&@ man to be over-ruled or over-done, without making an effort to recover the position of influ- ence, and sometimes of dictation, wiich he has been accustomed to hold for the last twenty years of his political existence. As matters now stand, Mr. Clay’s election to the Senate bodes no good or friendly teeling towards the administration of General Taylor. Tue Mnrigace Menexe’s Exeranation. — Mr. Greeley is daily boring his readers, and wasting the tme of Congress, in endeavoring to explain his little pettuitogging inconsistency, on the mile- age question and the book expenditures of the House. He had much better “confess the coin” at once, and have done with the matter. The facts of the case are simple, and easily understood. The travelling expenses of members of Congress, from their places of residence to the seat of gov- ernment, are defrayed by the public treasury, according to law. The original intention of the law was simply to pay a fair rate for those ex- penses—cuflicient to reimbarse the members, but nothing more. Now, the expenses paid by Gree- ley, 1n hig journey from New York to Washington, probably amounted to twelve or fifteen dollars, and yet he actually received, and put in his pocket, as muleage, the sum of one hundred and cighty-tour doll Was this consistent with an honest and moral construction of the law? Can he lay lis hand upon his heart, and say that it cost him more than twelve or fifteen dollars to reach Wash- ington? He cannot, and yet he recetved nearly twe hundred dollars for pertorming that journey ! calaraity. They are in the same paralized condition as the whig journals are in this city.— Each whig organ here is the centre of sundry cliques ot office beggars, who, in their efforts to get ashare of the spoils from the in-coming ad- ministration, are afraid to move right or left, and only try to swim with the current, which ever way itsets. Such a position of things presents a fine opportunity tor the old anti-masenic leaders to get the whole mastery over the whig party in the State of New York, and re-establish a regency, even worse than that which Mr. Van Buren organized, and which 18 equally revolting to the intelligence and spirit of the people throughout this great State. We guees we shall have to go to wor ourselves, take off our coat, roll up our sleeves, and set up on their pins Mr. Fillmore and the other whig leaders, pat them on the cheek, and encourage themto do their duty. We are not atraid ot the denuncia- tions that would be concentrated upon us, which Weed or Seward could issue from this day up to the day of judgment, and six hours efter. We have a long standing account of old grievances to set- tle with some of these chaps, and the day is not far distant when we shall make them stand up to their hand, or give up the shij Travian Oprra—Sinautarn CnaNGk oF THE Timxs.—If the recent Grand Fancy Ball given by Signor Fry, at the Opera House, was, 1n a certain degree, a failure, it will probably, in another way, tuym out to be a very favorable affair for the rest of the season; and be the means of establishing suc- cessfully the Italian Opera in this country for ever hereafter, and a day beyond. It may be recollected that the managers of the ball were much censured tor permitting on that oc- casion a certain class of society in this city to figure on the gala night; mixing familiarly with all the characters on the occasion. The class of s0- ciety here alluded te, 1s that orginally called the “sporting gentlemen,” composed of men who own eplendid mansions in Park Place and Broadway, give glorious champagne and game suppers, and entertain and support the whole by the pros perous results of the faro table. The system which they pursue is in some respects not very different from the Wall street system, at least in its morale. In short, we understand that the Italian Opera is now patronized, particularly in the par- quette and some of the private boxes, by all the sporting men about town, who are the most elegant and accomplished men of the day; who sport the biggest moustaches, wear the most delicate and richest cloaks, and whose whiskers are altogether His course on the book expenditures 1s of a similar character. He talks to several ot his colleagues in such a way, as to lead them to believe that he was favorable to malang the appropriation. The vote is taken, the books are purchased, Greeley takes his share ot the plunder; but like all sneak- ing, cowardly, paltry reformers, he votes against it himeel , alter doing all he could to secure an aflir- mative vote, and the passage of the resolution. There never was so perfect an unearthing of a low, paltry, contemptible demagogue, as that which has been witnessed in the case of the Hon. Massa Greeley, duriog hia brief career in Con- grees. It is no more, however, than what we ex- pected of him. His conduct in the business of the post office advertising in this city, under alaw of Congress, wes precisely similar. By a pettifog- ging construction of that law, given by Cave John- son, the present postmaster of New York, Mr. Morris, gave Greeley the post office advertising sor two years, when, in fact, it legally belonged to he Now York Heratd, becaus* it had a much larger circulation, in this city and out of it, than his psper, the Tyzbune, had. The Treasury of the United States paid Greeley, through the postmas- ter here, nearly five thousand doliars for those ad- vertisements, not one cent of which was he entitled to, but the whole of which, legally, morally, and equitably, belonged to the Herald eatablisiment. ‘When we exposed that construction of the law, and compelled the postma ter here to take that advertising from Cireeley, and give it to us, Gree- fey had the impudence und audacity to charge, 04 two respectable persons in our office, who gave evidence of the facts as they really were, perjury. For this, those gentiermen commen: a suit against him for damages, which suit will soon be adjudicated before @ jury, and the jury will, it they act properly, give them damages to the whole amount of advertising money whien Greeley ilie- gally received from the post office of this city, under a petifogging construction of the law of Congress. Will the jury do so? From New Granava.- We files of Fl Dia, published in Boyer re in receipt of Up to the 20ch uit. ‘They are very incomplete, however, and have no news of importance in therm.

Fashionable eociety of the present day is composed of two kinds of sporting gentry—the one being those who deal in stocks, the other those who deal out cards ; but the latter description of people are far the most elegant and the most accomplished of the two. The remainder of the season at the Opera will uow be brilliant in the extreme, and the enterprise will doubtless close with éclat and profit, leaving a vast surplus for the establishment of a foundling hoepital. Ocran Stramsiurs —We have heretofore in- formed our readers that E. K. Collins, Esq., so well known as the principal proprietor of the Dra- matic line of packets between this port and Liver- pool, had entered on the ocean steam navigation enterprise, and had contracted for the construc- tion of a line of steamships to ply between those porte. We also informed them that those vessels, as well as their machinery, are te be constructed in the most scientific manner, and without regard to expense, with the view of making them equal, f not superior, to the same kind of craft in any part of the world. We now take pleasure in say- ng, that two of those splendid vessels will be launched on Tuesday next, both at the same time, from the respective yards in which they have been built, between the hours of twelve and one o'clock. We heve the fullest confidence that those vease which will be named the Atlantic and Pacific, wil} reflect credit not only on Mr. Collins, who has projected the line, and the builders who have con- structed them, but on the country to which they belong. They may, we are sure, be taken as a specimen of what Americans can do in the way of steamehip building.
