New York, Tuesday, July 1, 1851. Telegraphic Summary. Our special telegraphic letter from Albany is so full and pe: fect, that we refer our readers to it for in- formation concerning the proceedings of the Legis- lature yesterday, which they will perceive were very interesting. According to present indications, the Legislature will not adjourn as soon as we expected it would. The proposed apportionment under the new census, an outline of which our correspondent has sent to us in his letter, is important information to politicians and the public generally. It is to be hoped that party feeling will have no effect in this matter. The court-martial on General Talcott is pro- ceeding at Washington. matter what the result will be, as far as any tech- nical finding of the court--that the General We are satisfied—no will not be found guilty of any of the charges that have been made against him, in the opinion of the public. The Partition of Mexico—Annexation of Lower Callfornia or Sonora, or Both, As early as the beginning of January last, we re- ecived information which warranted us in saying that a scheme had been meditated for some time previous, by a portion of the adventurous spirits of California, to organize an expedition, arfd proceed to Lower California, with the view of assisting the people of that territory in declaring their inde- pendence of the Central Mexican government, and afterwards in annexing that department to the United States, in much thesame manner that Texas was annexed. We recollect very well that the Ecpress: newspa- per, of this city. and probably some other journals, | denounced our statement as a weak invention, and unworthy of credit; but it seems, now that nearly #ix months after we published the fact of the inten- | tion of the invaders, that not only the Express, but the 7) ibune, dish up to their readers information of the same character, which they placed before their readers yesterday in long editorial arti- eles. The period that has elapsed between the tine when we made this fact public, and the time when the Express and the Tribune did the same, is a fair criterion of the character of those journals, com- pared with the Herald, as channels of news and early Aptelligence. We published it six months ago, and it appears that these papers got the information within a few days only. The Tytiwne tays it is ®@ matter of uncertainty, at present, whethe, the territory of Lower California, or the de- partment of Sonora, is the meditated theatre of operations, and the Express talks as it the whole of Mexico is destined to be overrun by the Americans, and. process of time, annexed to the United Sta piece by piece and department after department. ‘There is no novelty in this idea, for it has been laid down over and again in this paper. The matter is perfectly clear. It is only a question of time. The whole of Mexico and Central America, as well as the Canadas, the British West Indies, Cuba, and the Sandwich Islands, must all become parts and parcels of the territory of the United Star We cannot prevent it if we would. The gigantic increase and growth of this country know no limit, except the oceans on each side of it, and the islands of both the Pacific and the Atlantic.

He, too, has received ibui jore than two bundred thousand dollars have been con- tributed to him by the ufucturers and merchants of Boston, in gratitude for his tariff labors in years gone by. In addition te this, about five years since, these same ntlemen, finding it quite impossible, even with the rgest dotation, to place in comfortable circumstances their friend, “neither rich nor ® bachelor,” actually raised afund of fifty thousand dollars, (it was to have been double that amount, but New York did not respond to the call, as was expeeted.) and that it might not be wasted, as former contributions had been, they placed it in the bands of trustees, who now hold it, and pay the income for the benefit of Mr. Webster during ‘his lite, the capital fund to go to bisfamily after his death. Finally, after the famous (gpa Haven correspoudence of last summer, in which everybody could see “a wink as ood as & ned,” forty-six thousand dollars were raised in oston and New York, and paid to Mr. Webster. Now, it is well to hear both sides and all sides. According to an estimate made by an ex-treasury clerk, Martin Van Buren has received, by and | large, from public office, upwards of $389,451 21. He was four years President, during which time he got his house rent, fire-wood, candles, table linen, towels, beds and bedding, and furniture, including gold spoons and iron, Dutch oven and kitchen furni- ture, and rent of stables and garden, all free, and besides, got one hundred thousand dollars in cash, for his salary— all, together, making at least...

We give a report of the proceed- ings in another column. Mr. Brigham, the United States Commissioner, did not pronounce bis decision in the case of Stephen | Walsh yesterday. It is anticipated today. Coun- sel will doubtless appear for Walsh; and if the Commissioner has any doubts as to the propriety of his discharge, will ask to be beard. The first ground upon which he should be liberated, is the construction put upon the tenth article of the treaty | by Lord Ashburton, Lerd Palmerston, Lord Stan- ley, Mr. Macaulay, and the British Attorney Gene- | rai; and Judges Lees, Sanderlan, and Galan, of d by Lord Aberdeen and Mr. Canning. ish functionaries say it does not ex- | All these Br commit murder, robbery, or arson.

The question, however, in all probability, must be met; and if the partie ‘who are engaged in this expedition bestir them- gelves, and commence carrying their project into eGect, nothing can prevent it f om getting into the Presidential election of 1852. This ould upset the Compromise platform, for it would run like wildGre in the South, and would be popular in the North aleo. The truth is, that the people of this country live as much ina year as those of other countries do in half a century ; and the platformor hat, accordir g to present appearances, eunue for a party to enter the Presidential contest upon, would be of no service siz months hence ; for, according to all probability, another state of things, would exist, and a different platform would be necessary The Compromise platform may do for the present ; but no one can tell what a month, @ week, or even @ day, may bring forthia this extraordinary, ever changing republic, whose destiny ie irrosistibly leading we on to some groat goal whigh the miod of man cannot conceive 1 themselves on | de n is correct and the b government ap- proved of it,@ private in the British army may commit murder, robbery, or argon, to enable him to escape from military slavery, and the United States are not bound, uader the treaty, to surrender him t is sauce for the goose, is sauce for the and we have no idea that we shall yield eh military slavery for taking up a white man to Bri a jack knife and k government refuse to bave ecmmitted murdet Asbburton told the aboli d up fugitive slaves who mn, and robbery.

The federal government of the United States have pot—although the Southern States have sought to nforced the fulfilment of the treaty by to fagitive murderers from Florida; and Great Britain cannot make any difi- culty if Walsh is discharged, till they have ful- filled their obligations. We hope the decision will be in favor of Walsh, and upon this broad ground. This is the true and all-sufficient ground. yi get it to~ Tree Were is Arrats.—It will be seen, by a reference to our report of the proceed- ings in this ease, taken yesterday before the re- feree, that Colonel] Webb bas been obliged to do what he might have done long since with a good grace—namely, to deliver up the correspondence of Mies Inman (now Mrs. Coddington), which he so pertinaciously held in his possession, in violation of the faith in which it was confided: to his care, and even in defiance of the authority of the judges | of the land. The abstracts and copies taken by him have also been delivered up, and destroyed in presence of the referee. Nothing now remains but for Colonel Webb to prepare for an artillery of libel suite, which will be brought against him, un- lees, indeed, he makes a full confession of his errors, such as we, being » good Catholis as we are, would make to Bishop Hughes, in order to obtain his forgiveness and his blessing before we proceed upon our travel If Colonel Webb will do this, though we cannot promire him entire absolution, or a “ plenary in- dulgence” for future we will endeavor to set matters right hetwe him and Mra.

It is not long sinee that Sir enry Bulwer, acting as the British Minister, weat to one of cur neighboring Southern States for the purpose of tampering with the open disunionists of the South; but he, on his arrival, finding himself an unwelcome guest, came to the North, even to our own city of New York, and at a public dinner given at the Ast.r House—where he was an invited guest to partake of the kind hospitali- ty extended to him by our ecitizens—he there branded the people of Ireland as a race of Celts and barbarians. But he found that be could not feed the editors of our | new: papers with English plum pudding and roast beef; and tbe speech which he there made, was shown up, the | next day, in its true charaeter and light through the columns of the New York Herad, in such # manner as | taught the British ministry, in my opinion, a salutary | Jesron, that not only the American people themselves, | acting in their individual capacity, would resent such a | gross insult, but the able and distinguished editor of that newspaper came boldly forth and devoted the cclumns of his journal, which was, in truth, the eham- | pion of the oppressed and insulted on that cecasion, as it has proved to be on the present.

From all the facts that have leaked out, it is very certain that frauds of a most extraordinary character have been per- petrated in the business of the Mexican claims. It was admitted in the Zribune, by one of its cor- respondents, that Mr. Corwin, Secretary of the Treasury, had made eighty thousand dollars, more or less, by the sale of his interest, as agent or counsel of claims, previous to his induction into the cabinet.

But we would ask the Tribune what was the claim in which a relative of Mr. Corwin, Secretary of the Treasury, was agent; and what was the claim in which reoran & Riggs, of Washington, had a fourth part, or some such in- | terest ! They seem to know all about it. We want more light. Tue Presipenr ann Caninet on tiem Pere ns—) GRINAT R.

A dog- matical edict has been issued by Mayor Kingsland, that dogs running at large may be caught up and put inthe public pound, by Dogberrys or others, who will receive fifty cents for each canine specimen so impounded. Ladies’ lap dogs, too, are now sub- jected toa kind of inquisition. Should they walk into any of the parks—the Union Park, for in- stance—and behave with perfect propriety, moving about in the most respectable and quiet way, they will be seized by the officials who guard the gates, and carried off. This is never done in any other civilized country, and would create a revolution if undertaken in the Tuileries or Hyde Park. Little lap dogs need fresh air and exercise as well as dogs in office, or any other dogs, or even ladies and gen- tlemen.

It will be recollected by our readers, that about two years ago a considerable censation was endeavored to be created in the public mind, by George Wilkes, the editor Drury, of Astoria, and his son, on alleged charges of sead- ing a < torpedo” box to the houre of Thomas Warner, with an intent to take his life. (ou all of which Mr. Drury has been honorably acquitted.) ef the history of which our readers must have a strong recollectio m the fre- quent publications made in the public journals on the subject, and, therefore, it would be unnecessary to go further now into detail. However, we may state, in order to show the cause authorizing the indictments found by the Grand Jury of Queeus couaty, against Wilkes, Smith. and their aiders and abettors, for a grand lareeny, that, cn the léth day of November, 184%, Mr, Drury Was arrested by A. M. C. Smith, Crassous, Wilk; and company, and was secretly couveyed to the Towbs and locked up. without being allowed ald of counsel, ‘Thut seme afternoon, George Wilkes, One-Eyed Thomp- ton, A. af. C. Smith. Dominick Crassous, Joseph Dowling, Dervis Dowdiean, William H. Jenkins, and Jeremiah b. Baker, proceeded in two carriages to the residence of Mr. Drury, situated at Artoria, Long Island. and there, in the absence of Mr. Drury, they are charged with forci- Ply entering the house, without any legal process, seizing hold of jewelry snd other property, during the process of ransacking the rooms, whigh they are accused of ap- prepriating to their own seg emountiog, in value, to tween two and three thousai doliars.

Movpay, June 30—6 P. M. There has been vo change of consequence in the stoclc market, since Saturday. The hot weather is driving speculators out of town, anda few days, with the ther- mometer at ninety, would make Wail street a very quiet place. The brokers, as well as outsiders, are hastening into the country, and we do not expect much aetivity in the stock market until the return of amore com- fortable utmosphere. Stocks are well held, and we do not believe tht there will be many forced sales during the dulness of the bot searon. Speculation has been. put off till the fall; but it is possible an upward move- ment in some particular fancy may take place, even in the face of general inactivity. Reading Railroad was « little more buoyant to-day, and it looks like advaneing still further. The reperts relative to the July dividend are very contradictory. Much depends upon the posi- tion cf certain parties as stockholders, whether a dlvi- dend will be declared or not; and from the recent rise in the mark. t value of the rtock, and the fact that large purchases have lately been msde on Philadelphia ac, count, we should judge that a dividend of some kind bad been determined upon, Norwich and Worcester Railroad bas, for several days past, been depreciating, and bas fallen off during the past week four or five per cert, The cause of this was the eireulation ot reports by parties interested, that the dividend in July would be lees than anticipated. This report was put forth, in a semi-official shape, for the sole purpose of de- preciating the market value of the stock; and it not only emanates from a certain clique in the board of directurs, but the rate of dividend is, in our opiaion, regulated with such an object in view, In the last annual report of thie company the directors say:—* There is, therefore, no rea- fon existing why the stockholders should not hereafter receive regularly, in semi-annual dividends, the net earnings of the road; which, taking the business of the past year as a boris. will not be less than five per cent per annom on the entire capital, when all js made preferred tock.’ And we have not heard that anything has trans, he sk r Equal | =.
