We cannot account for the great inerease exhibited im the above comparative table, in the running ex- penses for 1849. The cost per mile for operating, in 1849, it will be seen, was $166, against 77 cents in 1848, There must have been something wrong in the statement for 1848 or 1849.

Wasnincron, Feb. 15, 1850, Movements in Washington—Messrs, Walker and Mere- dith—The President and Mr. Webster, $e. $c. No interest im the Senate to-day, excepting some interesting and beautifully dressed ladies. Messrs. Badger and Butler made speeches on the reference of the California constitution to the Territorial Commit- tee, aud Mr. Benton’s proposed instructions te that committee, and both speakers were opposed to the same. Mr. Calhoun was not well enough to be present. His forthcoming views on the great crisis are very carnestly looked for‘dy all classes of politicians here, and it is presumed elsewhere. He will probably speak on Thurs- day. There has{been quite a controversy going on,in Con- gress and out, asto the expenditures of the Trea- sury Department for a few’years past. The question is, who has exbibited the greater propensity to be extra- vagant, Mr. Walker or Mr, Meredith? Mr. Meredith may be extravagant and prodigal, but bow was it with Mr. Walker? How many of his subor- dinates did he bestow extra pay upon, where the law S| Se forbid i How much meney did he expe nd ing a host of custom house officers to come to Washington, frem Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston, and remat re, under pay, in addition ir at he help him vais cut ia ba ? How many of the clerks in his own bureau ed, in addition to their salaries, drafts on collect- ee in sums of $2,000, $1,000, $500, $300, and $150?

I bave reason to believe that President Taylor thinks high- ly of Mr. Webster's judgment as a matured and pro- found stateeman—that he sent for him, through Mr. Meredith, about the time it was deemed proper to take action in regard to the repeal by Great Britain of the restriction upon her navigation laws—that he then de- clined visiting the President, aud giving his views on the subject—that the President has recently sent for him, and consulted bis opin! 3 to what kind of meatage should accompany the California constitution to Covgress—and that, in consequence of Mr. Webster's advice, the message which had beon prepared, contain- ing the President’s views somewhat in exienso, was withdrawn, and tke one which did go in substitated. pewoh, in which he ohose to go out marked parallel between the mili- to the intended disparagement of the latter—and that, too, after Mr. Clay’s ular friends had been sobaud- somely noticed avd honored by this administration—it did not belong to President Taylor to send for Mr. Clay to learn his judgment in a great matter of state. He was right in preferring to consult Mr. Webster.
