J. a. BENNER, New Youu, January 10. 1850. Thope Mr J. G. Bennett «ill publish this, to relieve the wounded feelings ot @ family iu great distress Ja We know nothing of these strange matters, be- yond what the story of Mr. Wilkes, and the card ot Mr. Bennet, reveal; bat, to our simple view, there 1s something rotten somewhere else besides Denmark. Can all these stories be true? [s there not some humbug in it? Ashington Beanet has generally been considered a crack-brained soct of a man, but we never heard any impeachment of bis integrity or moral principles. Oa the inaugu- ration of General Taylor, he went to Washingtoa. When he returned, he ran round town, telling everybody he knew—‘‘I expect soon to go out 43 Minister to England.” For years, Bennet has been looked upon as partly insane. Has not Wilkes been duped, and Bennet victimized, by some of the Vidocgs about the Tombs? It looks like a great, big, broad, bungling bunch of ab- surdities—one grand hoax all round. Who can unravel it ? CorporaTION ADVERTISING AND CoRroRATION TRAVAGANCK.—Several of the journals which have been for some time past eking out a sickly existence by gormandizing on the spoils of the Corporation, in the shape of advertising patron- age, have been quarrelling among themselves, and exposing their secrets, in away which we hope will operate to the diminution of some of the waste and extravagance of the Corporation, in a small way. The Commercial Advertiser receives $500 a year from the Corporation, for publishing the pro- ceedings of that body. The Evening Post obtains the same amount for the same services. Taese sums of money are gratuities, or largesses, or levies of black mail, as you please. The informa- tion given by these journals, for which they re- ceive such an emount, can all be found a greater length, and in a more intelligible shape, in the Herald, and other large circulating papers, which receive no fees from the Corporation for publishing its proceedings, and never have re- ceived any. The New York Express, by some mysterious influence, has contrived to receive for the same services, according to the statement of ‘ts cotemporaries, something between rovr aNp yIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. These black-muail de- velopements have been just made by the Coursr and Enquirer, and confirmed by the other two journals. Now, what 1s the amount of ali this business— this levying bleck-mail upon the Corporation ? The journals in question profess to receive these sums of money from the city, in the shape and under the title of payment for advertising the Corporation proceedings. But if the Corporation and the city authonties are compelled to publish advertisements in the daily journals, why do they not select those papers which have the most extensive circu- jation, and not those which, hke the Commerciil Advertiser, have neither circulation, nor enter- prise, nor publicity, except with some small cliqu who take them because they feel a deep interest in stories about early vegetables? Why select such journals as the Evening Post, which has little eir- culation and less news, and thinks of nothing but the abolition of slavery and the improvement of the negro race? Why do they lose sight of those journals which have the widest circulation, and which communicate general and useful informa- tion to the public 1. The conduct of the Corpora- tion in this respect is wasteful, extravagant, cor- rupt, and silly. If itis necessary to pubtish and give notice to the citizens of New York of the doings and improvements going oa in the city, those organs of the public opinion ought to be se- leeted for this purpose which are read by all pare ties, such &s the Herald and some others.

Wasuine ron, January 10—P. M. General Sken Smith, and 4 committee of native Amenesus trom Philadelphia, are here, operating against the confirmation of Mr. Lewis, as Collector of the port of Philadelphia. Mr Clay presented in the Senate, to-day, the memorial ot Mr. Seely, for compensation for the recovery of the jewels of the Princess of Orange, volued ata million of dollars, which were stolen some twenty years ago. The petitioner desires that a portion of the interest on the Dutch Loan be withheld, that government having refused him compensation for three years services in recovering the jewels. He makes this application at the in- stavce of Mr. Clayton. The memorial covers se- veral hundred pages, and is a very curious narra- money due to Holland, unless that government in- terpose to save its credit. beligerent, and Jefferson Davis’ suggested that the first tight should take place in the Senate.
