We have received many complaints/rem Subscribers who are frequently disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only is4ares the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is still further aggravated by an extra charge cif a halfpenny (the Post of/bse fee) being made for Nox supplying the latest or Third Edition. 27* Edition contains the Latest News: Partianumtary Debates up to a Quarter to Seven—The " Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together with the " Prices Current" o.f ag the Markets, as well as Officio Prices ty Shares in Railways, tfc. 6:c.—The Betting et Tattersalrs on Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds -274e Proceedings in Railway Committees up to the close—and all other news smiting in Lando% after three o'clock in the afternoon, when the &woad or livening Edition goes to press. In distant parts of the country, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE NOUNS IN ADVANCE, a matter of importance to those who want early intelligence. Intim:4e places where the evening mail arrives in the middle of the night, the " MORNING SUN," containing ALL the Debates, Sc, Sc., will answer best, and Subscribers can suit themselves accordingly. Respectable Agents will always supply the proper paper; but where any negket is experienced, we recommend parties to write to " The Sinn" office, 112, Strand, where prompt attention will be paid to their representaWans. LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY. The detailed Report of the Board of Trade having been pub lished, the Committee of Direction of the London and York Company dawn it right to observe upon a few of the most glaring mistakes, ap parent on the face of it. The Committee, however, must first acknowledge the favourable opinions expressed of the London and York, compared with the rival schemes in the following passages of the Report, viz. : "As regards local accommodation, we are of opinion that the merits of Use two schemes are equally balanced, and that either would afford a very good Trunk Line between London and York ;" and, again, "If we disregard for the present all considerations of ex pense, it may be considered that the London and York scheme, on the whole, presegts a larger and more comprehensive system of commu nication." The Report, nevertheless, rejects the London and York scheme, upon the ground of its being too expensive, and asserts that the same ends may be obtained at much less cost, by means of 218 miles of new railway tstead of 327, the length of the entire London and York scheme. TM Committee call attention to the fact, that whilst the report on this plea of economy rejects the London and York scheme, the whole of the lines actually recommended by that report as substitutes, contain no less than 334 miles of new railway, still leaving the public to travel from Cambridge to London (a dis tenco of more thAa.so miles) upon the existing Northern and Eastern Railway, and tl'Mving the trunk lines into the hands of three sepa rate companies. On the question of cost, the report of the Board of Trade states " That the London and York scheme, as now proposed, could not be completed with stations, metropolitan terminus, and the requisite working stack of engines, carriages, &c., for a less sum than 8,000,0001." But the Committee beg to observe, that the carrying establishment (which the report very mush over estimates, at an average of 3,288/. per mile, or about 1,000,0001.) was not included, not being required by Parliament to be included in their estimate. The estimate sent to the Board, was for works only, and amounted to 6,500,0001.. the difference therefore between that es timate, and the estimate put forth by the Board, is only 500,000/. ; and when the Committee state, that no question or explanation upon the estimate was asked by the Board of Mr. Cubitt, their Engineer, nor the slightest intimation given that its accuracy was in any de gree questioned ; when it is also well known to the Board, that upon a capital of 6,500,0001., Parliament gives the power of borrowing 2,166,0001. further, the Committee deem themselves warranted in saying, the conclusion of the Board has been far too hastily ar rived at. Another economical detail given by the Report is, that whilst the London and York would cost 8,000,0001., the lines necessary to supply its plaoe would only cost 4,250,0001. On this head the same kind of fallacy prevails : the London and York scheme is estimated, including carrying establishment, the others excluding that expense. Moreover (as will be seen by the table below) instead of 218 miles at a cost of 4,250,0001., the Report recommends 334 miles at an expense of 8,788,0001. (a sum only 715,0001. short of the London and York esti mate), and if the carrying establishment of 1,000,0001. be added, at a cost of 6,785,0001., which would be only 1,215,0001. short of the 8,000,000/., at which the Board estimates the London and York scheme ; still leaving the trunk traffic to run over snore than fifty miles of the existing Northern and Eastern Railway. The London and York Committee are strongly impressed by the fact that no one of the estimates for the lines approved hi the report of the Board of Trade exceeds 18,0001. a mile (excepting the Far ringdon-street Extension, and except also the North end of the Direct Northern, which is estimated at 22,0000, whilst two of them stand at 8,0001. a mile, the Midland schemes at 13,0001., and the Grimsby, for 60 miles through Lincolnshire, at 10,0001. per mile.. The whole of the lines north of Cambridge which traverse precisely the same country as that of the London and York, do not average .14,000/. per mile ; and there can be no reason for saying that the London and York lines in those parts would on the whole be w,.uell - more expensive. With regard to the London end of the line, the Report, with peculiar inconsistency, charges the London and York with 29,000 L per mile, whilst it sanctions the Eastern Counties estimate Irons Wertford to Iliggleswade, through twenty-five miles of the same oomitry, at 18,0001, per mile. The Committee are assured by Mr. Cubitt, and the Board or Trade's Report thruishes additional reason to rely upon his accuracy, that the original estimate of 6,600,0001.—ab0nt 20,0001. a mile—will be Sufficient for every part of the work. On the subject of - traffic the Committee will only remark, that as the Board of Trade is satisfied that the traffic of the district will not only remunerate the outlay of 6,785,0001.—the estimates fur the lines they approve—but that it will also pay a mileage toll upon fifty miles of the Northern and Eastern—that toll would be abundantly sufficient to remunerate the outlay of the additional 1,215,0001., making 8,000,000/., which would, even in the Board's opinion, suffice to construct the integral line projected by the London and York Company, ten miles shorter in its trunk, and more com prehensive in its local accommodation. By the schemes approved, or rather suggested, by the Board of Trade, the traffic of the district would be collected upon 334 -i- 30 = 384 miles of railway, and the same traffic would be concentrated by the London and York Railway upon 327 miles. The Committee are prepared to show that the local traffic between Newark and Chesterfield, and between Snaith and Wakefield, on the lines by the Board's Report substituted for those lines front Bawtry to Sheffield, and from Don caster to NYakefield, would not add materially to the amount. The Board's comparison of the London and York estimates of traffic with the income of the Eastern Counties and Midlands, must be neces sarily Inconclusive ; since the Eastern Counties is not sufficiently ad vanced to enjoy the benefits of a through line, or even what may be termed an extended line ; and the Midland average of 411. per mile per week is made up for the year ending June, 1843, (and not 1844, as stated in the Report) of the aggregate of three lines—the North Midland, 72 miles bringing 54/. ; the Midland Counties, 57 miles, bringing 421. ; and the Birmingham and Derby, 48 miles, bringing 281. per mile—the last line being a competing line with the second. The entire Midland returns for the half year ending December, 1844, are equal to 591. per mile per week for the year, and this includes only 41. par mile for carriage of minerals, whereas, if, as the projectors of the London and York assert, and the Board of Trade are pleased to ad mit, the district of the London and York and Eastern Counties will be supplied with coal by those lines, the mineral traffic alone must necessarily be equal to 201. per mile per week. The Committee are not only fully prepared to prove the ample traffic on their line—and that their estimated income of 1,000,000/. ie not, as alleged in the Report of the Board of Trade, exaggerated —but so far from their income being dependent upon the difference between three halfpence and twopence-farthing placed on part of their passenger income, or upon their security from competition, they are in a condition to show that even one-half of their whole estimated passenger traffic, and 61. instead of 20/. per mile per week for mineral traffic, would give an income of 5/. per cent. upon a capital of eight millions, after deducting 401. per cent. for working axpensge• In allusion to the accommodation of the great county of Lincoln, the Report (tether states, that, "by a double line or loop, the London and York scheme requires the making of 150 miles, partly of difficult construction, to provide for the same traffic which would be accom modated in some respects better, and in others almost equally as well, by about 100 miles, all of very easy construction." So far from this being correct, the public will be surprised to find the reverse is the fact, for whilst that part of the London and York scheme which lies within the oounty of Lincoln, comprises only 111% miles, the lines proposed by the Board of Trade within the same county extend to 121 miles ! the measurement being taken in both instances from the south border of Lincolnshire to Newark, and to Gainsborough on the north. The accommodation afforded by the London and York lines being preferred by the inhabitants. The Report of the Board of Trade contains various other errors and inconsistencies too numerous to he treated of here, but which the London and York Committee will take care shall be fully set forth 'Wien the merits of the case of the London and York shall be under the consideration of the Parliamentary Committee on the re assembling of the House of Commons. In 'Conclusion, the Committee beg leave to reiterate, that where (as in the case of the London and York) the district through which a new railway is projected, is urgent and unanimous In Its favour, and the requisite capital is subscribed, they cannot be lieve that Parliament will refuse its sanction, out of regard to the in terests of existing railways, which make the main trunk longer, and the local accommodation neither so comprehensive nor satisfactory to the inhabitants. The feeling of Parliament and of the country, with reference to the London and York Line, when coupled with the acknowledgment of its merits by the Board of Trade, and the manifest misconception under which the economical conclusions of that Beall have been drawn, give every confidence to the Committee of the ultimate sue coil of the Scheme—and the Committee are persuaded Parliament will recognise tha public importance of an integral line under one management, and Its vast superiority over a series of lines, which in terpose obstacles to the traveller at every change.

SECOND EDITION: AiTtililt 111 ‘:l'ilt /"': ,-4 LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 1845. The Senate of the United States, as will be seen from the intelligence from Washington, published in another part of the paper, had adopted resolutions for the annexation of Texas to that Republic by a ma jority of 2, there being 27 in favour of the measure, and 25 against it. This consummation is only what might have been anticipated from the moment that emigrants began to occupy land in that extensive dis trict. It has been the policy of the Government, as well as the wish of the people, to extend their territory by purchase as well as by affiliation of neighbouring states, and with such a weak and contemptible Government as Mexico, Texas could not long be an exception to the general law. But the Americans Rill not stop there. The pressure from within will only increase with the increase of population, and unless some strong causes inter vene, whether from the interference of other Powers, or the opposition of the Northern States, Mexico itself will soon be swallowed up by this unscrupulous and enterprising people. The bigoted, priest-ridden, and indolent descendants of the Spaniards have no chance with the active, in dustrious, and warlike Saxon race. The accession of power given to the Southern States by this event is not at all welcome to those of the North, and may yet lead to important consequences. --ow The proposition with which we closed our extract in a former article from the pamphlet on " Com mercial and Financial Legislation," is one that Euro pean statesmen cannot, in these times, keep too steadily in view. It is a principle of the highest po- THE, SUN, LONDON, WEDN'ESDAY EVENING, MARCH: I '2B, 1144 V litical certainty, as well as moral truth, that the only security against a return of those " warfares of material interests, of which state wars are the in evitable results," is to destroy the " elements of the former," which he happily terms, " wars of fiscal ports, or custom-houses." He proceeds to show, in the note appended to that passage, that Mr. PITT, in 1787, had nobly and wisely acted up, not only to the spirit, but to the very letter of his spirited policy. It is a most impressive, though a tardy tribute to the genius of that statesman, to exhibit him as devising the terms of a treaty of commercial reciprocity be tween Great Britain and France, founded on prin ciples so far in advance, in point of sagacity and forecast, of the commercial policy of' his age. We can easily understand how Mr. PITT, with all his tenacity of purpose, may have been shaken in his adhesion to the enlightened scheme of com mercial connexion he had thus marked out for the two greatest monarchies of the world, by the events of the next half-dozen years. Events of so as tounding and eventful a character succeeded each other, in such rapid succession, that a feverish and incessant excitement usurped the salutary influence that might otherwise have then, and permanently, triumphed, of calm deliberation and vigilant expe rience. But it is very certain that the precipitate, crude, and ignorant prejudices, on all general ques tions involving the true principles of a sound, inter national, commercial policy, which swayed the coun sels of the various French Governments called into action by the revolution, were the main disturbing forces which threw down the beneficent system that Mr. PIS T'S genius had created by the treaty—whose frank, clear, and equitable stipulations we gave, in abstract, in our paper of Wednesday evening last. In the lapse of nearly sixty years since the date of that treaty, two furious wars have been waged between the two countries, but, for the last thirty years, rela tions of uninterrupted peace have been established be tween them. If the contingencies of the brief interval between the years 1787 and 1793, sufficed so com pletely to throw down and obliterate such a record of commercial statesmanship as the treaty in question, owing to the overwhelming force of adverse circum stances; how little has the evolution of fifty-two sub sequent years (thirty of them, as we have just stated, being, as years of peace, eminently favourable to the restoration of the good work that had been demolished) —accomplished towards the attain ment of such an object ! What can so many Minis ters have been about, who have since directed the affairs of this country, never to have attempted, with all the encouragement, with all the political advan tage and authority which the course of European events has from time to time given them—never, we say, to hare attempted the renewal of PITT'S treaty ? The author of " Commercial and Financial Legisla tion" could not have better timed his reference to this remarkable document, than by choosing for that pur pose the era of bur quasi " transition state," from a monopoly-ridden condition and class protections to one not indeed of free trade, but of released energy and more lightly fettered operation. We confess, with a feeling of humiliation as well as astonish ment, that the great political experiment which was successfully accomplished in 1831 by the will of the people, expressed directly through their representa tives—we mean the Reform of Parliament—has hi therto discharged but a poor instalment of the great benefits which its bondsmen—its advocates—within and without the walls of the Legislature, repeatedly guaranteed to the country. Class legislation has actually increased both as to its extent and its abuses. Monopolies have been multiplied and aggravated. The interests of the public consumer have been sacrificed more than ever to the interested views of the Ministerial supporters. It is truly won derful that such a barbarous system of protective, dis criminating, prohibitory, and retaliatory duties as that which still manacles the gigantic powers, and represses the native vigour of British commercial enterprise, should have been left comparatively unreformed by a Reformed and Reforming Parliament. Sir ROBERT PEEL, in deed, has taken some few steps in a right direc tion ; but his course has been circumscribed and crippled by the trammels of previous Tory connexions, the paralysing control of official precedents, and the still more hampering influence of official advisers. It belongs only, we fear, to an acute mind, an uncom promised judgment, and a philosophical estimate of the existing condition of great national interests, to trace, with a bold unprejudiced hand, the relation be tween cause and effect, and, in doing so, fearlessly to expose the former, with a view to the extinction of the latter, where it is embodied in a shape hostile to the prosperity, or destructive even to the welfare of the State. We can scarcely expect, in the present balanced state of parties, any such demonstration from a Prime Minister.

We feel the more obligation to any private individual who will adopt this salutary course, even if it be as an " anonyme." In another article we shall enable our readers to judge, by a more detailed examination of his pamphlet, how much the author of " Commercial and Financial Legislation" has done to set the public thinking upon the important topics in respect of which our Governments have done, as yet, so little to testify their own appreciation of them. festations addressed successively by the Courts of Lon don and Paris to the Federal Directory, in order to show the Confederation the impression produced upon those Cabinets by the events of which Switzerland has for some months been the theatre.

A large amount of business has this morning, as well as yesterday, been transacted in the commercial market, the clearances under the new scale of duties (so far as at pre sent in, operation) having been very considerable. Much in terest among the Sugar trade is taken as to the re sult of the sales of the Java sugar properly certified as the produce of free labour, imported by the Messrs. Thornton and West, as the values realised must to a certain extent show how the cur rent of public feeling may go among those who may be anxious to be purchasers hereafter. There are accounts from the Mauritius this morning, but they are not of any public importance. The state of the cir culation of the colony was a matter of serious consideration. From the Cape of Good Hope we have advices to-day ra ther later in point of date than those before received. The natives and the settlers on the frontiers are said to have come to an understanding. In the Corn- market this morning business was very dull. The amount of the failure alluded to on Monday, under this head, is not yet accurately known. Intelligence of an important character was brought by special express from Liverpool to the Hall of Commerce this morning. According to this the United States Senate had agreed upon the annexation of t Texas, and there remains only the assent of the President, which is expected to be given, to give the vote the force of law.

Churnet Valley Cornwall _ " The principles professed by the Emperor, our august master, and the sentiments with which his Majesty is animated towards the Helvetic Confederation, are known to you, Monsieur; and you have recently been autho rised to be their interpreter to the Government of Zurich, upon the occasion of its entry upon it s di rec t o rial func tions. Ido not, besides, doubt but that upon all occa sions, when during the present Diet you have had to express the intentions of your Court, you have acquitted yourself of your task according to the spirit of your general instructions, and which have had for basis, upon the one part, the warm friendship that his Imperial Ma jesty feels for the neighbouring State, and, upon the other, the respect that the Emperor entertains for treaties and laws imposed by international jurisprudence, as well as his desire to see other States, especially those which, in consequence of their geographical position, are in most frequent relations with his monarchy, main tain themselves in such wise as that they may be in the condition of exercising reciprocity in regard to Austria. " His Majesty, moreover, feels satisfied that, according to the tenor of the communications conveyed by England and France to the Confederation, his judgment of the general position of Switzerland is shared by these two powers. " If the Cabinet of St. James, in his dispatch to M. Morier, of the 11th Febrbary, takes pains to present to the eyes of Switzerland a picture of the fatal conse quences which would be entailed upon her by the anni hilation of the act by which she is constituted into a political body, recognised by Europe, you will recal to mind that the same subject has been developed by our Cabinet in more than one of the dispatches addressed by me during the course of late year s to our legation in i Switzerland, especially n that of the 27th February, 1841, and you will feel that late events, so far from changing or modifying the opinion that we ever entertained, have but served to confirm it. In fact, the greater the chances of seeing nullified the Act of 1815, and accord ing as they multiply, the more does it become evident to all sound minds that the cessation of the Act of Union between the 22 sovereign cantons of Switzerland will be in the interior of the Confederation the signal of civil war, of anarchy and oppression ; while, as regards fo reign relations, it will break those titles under which these 22 states occupy their actual position in the great European family. The domestic misfortunes, the suspi cions, and the political dangers which for Switzerland would follow such a state of things, are but too evident not to be felt by the true friends of this country, while, at the same time, it inspires them with the desire that, by the wisdom and rectitude of the men called to direct her destinies, such mighty perils may be averted. "We, with the English Cabinet, agree with that of the Tuileries, relative to the reprobation which, in the dispatches transmitted to the Count do Pontois, the latter pronounces upon the enterprises and the existence of the tree corps. A Government not possessing sufficient power to master its subjects, to prevent them carrying, with arms in hand, murder and pillage into the territory of an inoffensive neighbour, such a Government would not deserve that name. It would be worthy of being put to the ban of the opinion of civilised Europe, if, to the tole ration of such misdeeds, it should add acts of connivance. In a confederation of States, united one with another for the sake of aid and mutual assistance, the odium of such enterprises would be further augmented by the weight of those sentiments that are always naturally ex cited by the violation of sworn faith. Such a disorder must be put an end to, and extirpated by the root. It must cease to be possible that a canton, besieged by armed bands encamped along its frontiers, shall for months to gether be kept under arms, and obliged to exhaust the means and patience of its population, if Switzerland de sires to preserve in the eyes of foreign nations the cha racter of a Confederation of States (to quote the words of the declaration of Vienna, of the 20th of March, 1815), in the integrity in which they existed as a poli tical body at the period of the Convention of the 29th of October, 1813, the same being recognised as the basis of the Helvetic system. " The unanimity of all the powers, which cannot fail to be demonstrated at present to the eyes of Switzerland, upon the fundamental principles which govern the question, and the friendly explanations which all have shown themselves desirous of entering upon with her must have proved two things—the one, that all the powers, without exception, are animated with the same sentiments of friendship for, and interest in, the Con federation; the other, that, looking at her present posi tion, all upon the same point of view, the powers have claim to the presumption of believing themselves in the right, " It now remains to be seen how far the delegates of the Swiss people will know how to secure their country from the incalculable evils that the unchecked liberty allowed to the wicked and destructive passions of the day must inevitably prepare for her.—Receive, &c., " METTERNICH." Easter Monday was observed as a close holiday by most of the Paris journals. The Chamber of De puties, nevertheless, met as usual, and entered on the discussion cf the Customs Bill. The Deputies were to assemble in Committees on Tuesday, to appoint Commissioners for examining the Bills for railways between Paris and Lyons and Lyons and Avignon. No result of importance to the public was expected from the Customs Bill. In fact, prohibition or oppressively heavy duties must be submitted to by the French people yet for years, but it is gratifying to learn, that at least one of the journals is alive to the evil, and points out the vast mi sc hief cause d, no t only by restricting foreign commerce, but even the domestic intercourse between different departments. " Matters," says the Democratic Pacffique, " have been so arranged amongst us, that every treaty of reciprocity, whether a treaty relating to manufac ture, agriculture, or maritime altars, would in the present state of things cause a grave injury to any of these three branches. Our great governmental capacities have reduced France to a complete state of paralysis. If this system be only persisted in a little longer, nothing else will remain to be done but to sur round the frontiers with walls, and to rot in the isola tion established in some degree as the condition of the existence of the country. And it is not alone in our rela tions with foreign Powers that our legislation produces this shameful immobility, but at home our fiscal system is organised in such a way that each province is in a manner obliged to consume in part the productions of the locality. Potable liquors and corn could give occupation to an immense coasting trade, if stupid not force them to be con sumed on ther u place they were produced. It is o e n nd ac b c a o r u b n a account of s t where dutiesh ta es x e esdid that corn is seen to occupy in the South the place of vines, which could produce excellent wines, and that the wines of Argenteuil and Suresne are drunk at Paris."

Previous to the conclusion of the debate NARVABZ, as well as the Minister of Jus tice, assured the Chamber that the Government guaranteed to the present owners their rights to the property already sold, and that on no consideration should these rights be interfered with. The present measure was necessary, not only as an act of justice towards the clergy, but also to satisfy the Court of Rome. With these views the suspension of the sales had been resolved on, and the restitution only post poned till the proper time. On the 18th a courier was dispatched to Rome with the intelligence. The capital was quite tranquil, and preparations were in progress for celebrating the Easter festival with unusual splendour. The Court, it was understood, would go to Aranjuez about the middle of April. _ _ Ditto Half Shares Midland 100 143 .... to 141% _ . .

The intelligence from Znrich is to the 21st inst. The resolution of the Diet relative to the suppression of free corps, which we gave yesterday, had been adopted by thirteen and two half states, and conse quently became a federal law. The President, M. Moussox, announced that the Austrian Charge d'Affaires had delivered to him a copy of a dispatch, addressed to him by Prince METTERNICH, which he would communicate to the different cantons, as he had not received it in time to deliver to the Diet. He then closed the session in the following terms : " Our deliberations are terminated. Some of you will retire dissatisfied. A similar disposition will manifest itself among a portion of the Swiss people. It is consequently a duty the more imperious for you to exert yourselves to maintain public order and tranquillity, and not allow the interests of the com monwealth to be sacrificed to party spirit. I must remind Lucerne that it depends upon its Government not to increase the existing irritation, and to effect a reconciliation by making a sacrifice to the country. May Switzerland be ready to provide against events, and strong enough to uphold her honour and liberty under every circumstance. She would re pent too late, if her authority and power were aban doned to the mercy of party interests." We here subjoin the note of Prince METTERNICH, referred to by the President; but we cannot agree with our Conservative Contemporary, the Herald, which pub lishes the document, that" it is directly threatening." In our opinion, the threatening part contains ma good sense, and points out to the different cantons what course they should adopt to preserve the friend ship of the Great Powers. The following paragraph would apply with equal force to the Government of the United States, which would not, or could not, prevent the lawless citizens from robbing and mur dering their inoffensive neighbours :—" A Govern ment not possessing sufficient power to master its subjects, to prevent them carrying, with arms in hand, murder and pillage into the territory of an in offensive neighbour, such a Government would not deserve that name."

On Wednesday Mr. Chapman held an inquest at the Black Horse public-house, Canal-street, on the body of Christopher, son of Thos. Jones, of 81, Canal-street, a boy aged eight years. The deceased, who slept in the front parlour of the house, with his grandfather, had risen early on Monday morning, and his parents having gone out, he went to his grandfather to get a pipe of tobacco to smo ke. The tobacco was given him, and having lighted it, he commenced puffing, and with the view to ape more nearly those who had taught him the accomplishment, he turned his back to the fire. While in this position his pinafore caught fire, and his clothes were speedily in flames. The grandfather having lost the use of one side by paralysis, attempted to help him in vain, and at length overpowered with smoke, sank upon the bed in a state of insensibility. The smoke issued from the window into the street, and this attracting attention, John M'Kenna, of Mill-street, ventured into the room, and saved the old- man, but the body of the boy was found upon the hearth reduced to a cinder.—Vordict, " Acci dental death."—Manchester Times.

By the arrival of the New York ship Indiana, Captain Bennett, we have received papers tif the Ist instant from that city—four days later. The intelligence is very important. On the 27th of February the Senate, by a vote of 27 to 25, agreed to a series of resolutions, placing it at the discre tion of the President Elect to seek the annexation of Texas by certain conditions hereinafter mentioned. We subjoin full particulars. THE QUESTION SETTLED. ANNEXATION RESOLUTION PASSED. The southern mail last evening brought us the excit ing intelligence that the Texas resolution had passed by a vote of 27 to 25, a majority of two. Mr. Bagby, of Alabama, voted in favour of the reso lution, and Mr. Foster, of Tennessee, voted against it. Both of the senators from Ohio voted for it. The amend ment of Mr. Walker makes the resolution substantially Mr. Benton's last proposition. It must now go to the House of Representatives for concurrence. (Correspondence of the. Herald.) WASHINGTON, D. C., FEB. 27.—The Texas resolution reported to the House, as amended by Mr. Walker, of Mississippi, embracing in substance Mr. Benton's Bill, passed the Senate about nine P.M., by a majority of 27 to 25. Foster and Jarnegin, of Tennessee, voted against the Bill ; Merrick, Johnson, of Lou., Henderson, of Miss., and Bagby, of Alabama, voted for it. The two last speeches made in the debate were from Crittenden and Archer. The Senate took a recess until six in the evening. For an hour before the time arrived, spectators began to as semble in the lobby and galleries of the Senate Chamber. At six the President took the chair, calling Senators to order. The large gilded chandelier hanging from the dome of the Senate hall, had its twenty-six lamps lighted up. Every nook and corner of the galleries were now crowded to overflowing with solid masses of human beings. The gentlemen made such an early and general rush to the Senate Chamber, filling it up so completely, that few ladies were able to obtain an entrance, except those who went half an hour in advance of the time. The doors of the chamber were left open. The ante chamber was filled with ladies, who could hear the speak ing inside through the open door. Never before, pro bably, did the Senate Chamber contain so many spec tators as on this important occasion. At an early stage of the proceedings Mr. Foster, of Tennessee, offered an amendment to Mr. Walker's amendment, the latter adding a portion of Mr. Benton's Bill to the House resolutions, leaving it discretionary with the President to adopt either plan in treating with Texas. This amendment was lost. Mr. Berrien then offered an amendment which was voted down, 25 to 26. Mr. Walker's amendment to the House resolutions was then reported, passed upon in Committee, then in the whole House. The resolutions of the House with the amendment, then came up. Mr. Crittenden then moved to strike out the House resolutions altogether from the Bill. This was put and lost—yeas and nays being called for in every case. Mr. Archer then moved that the House resolutions be stricken out, and an amendment which he offered, be inserted in place of them. This motion was put and lost. Finally, after several Whig Senators had spoken, giving their reasons for the vote they were about to give, and urging anew many of their most prominent objections to the whole Bill, the same was put as amended, and carried in the , affirtnative-27 to 25, all the democratic Senators voting for it, with Johnson, of La., Merrick, of Maryland, and Henderson, of Mississippi, Whigs, voting for it. There is BO question that the amendments to the House reso lutions will be immediately passed on reaching that body. So we may consider Texas as annexed to this Union! Swelling the number of States to 27. The passage of the Bill of annexation has given rise to many rumours. One is that Senor Almonte will in a day or two demand his passports and leave Washington. This piece of mock dignity will probably be prompted by Mr. Pakenham, the English Minister, as we dare say Almonte will scarcely venture back to Mexico, where his master is lying in prison to await his trial. The rumour afloat among persons well informed is, that our Government has received dispatches from Mexico, which evince a favourable and friendly disposi tion on the part of the new Government of Mexico to wards the United States, leaving no probability of any hostile feelings being manifested against us on account of annexation. It is also rumoured that all the evidence in relation to the intrigues of England for the acquisition of Cali fornia, has been laid before the Senate in secret session. It is also said that two new regiments of troops will be forthwith raised and marched for Texas, to act with other troops at a proper time for taking possession of the country, and hoisting our glorious stars and stripes over that beautiful laud. Mr. Pakenham has shown much anxiety in relation to the final passage of this measure, and I believe was present on the floor of the Senate Chamber till a late hour to-night. After the passage of the Bill, a large number of demo cratic senators proceeded to Coleman's, to call upon the President Elect, and congratulate him on the final passage of this great measure through the Senate. Among them I noticed Mr. Woodbury, Mr. Buchannan, and Mr. Walker. P. S. —Eleven P. X.—The people are rejoicing in the streets. A band of music is out serenading President Polk and President Tyler, attended by a crowd of people, who rend the air with their huzzas. Mr. Calhoun's hotel was also visited in the same manner. A salute of 27 guns was fired from a piece of ord nance stationed on Capital Hill. The following is a copy of the Texas Bill as it passed the Senate on Thursday night : Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Represen tatives of the United States of America in Congress as sembled, that Congress doth consent that the territory properly included within, and rightfully belonging to, the Republic of Texas, may be erected into a new State to be called the State of Texas, with a republican form of Government, to be adopted by the people of said Re public, by deputies in convention assembled, with the consent of the existing Government, in order that the same may be admitted as one of the States of this Union. Sec. 2. And be it further resolved, that the foregoing consent of Congress is given upon the following condi tions, and with the following guarantees, to wit: First, Said State to be formed, subject to the adjust ment by this Government of all questions of boundary that may arise with other Governments; and the consti tution thereof, with the proper evidence of its adoption by the people of said Republic of Texas, shall be trans mitted to the President of the United States, to be laid before Congress for its final action, on or before the Ist day of January, 1846. Second. Said State when admitted into the Union, after ceding to the United States all mines, minerals salt lakes, and springs; and also all public edifices, fortifica tions, barracks, ports and harbours, navy and navy yards, docks, magazines, arms, armoments, and all other pro perty and means pertaining to the public defence, belong ing to said Republic of Texas, shall retain all the public funds, debts, taxes, and dues of every kind, which may belong to, or be due, or owing said • Republic ; and shall also retain.all the vacant and unappropriated lands lying within its limits, to be applied to the pat ment of the debts and liabilities of said Republic of Texas ; and the residue of said lands, after discharging said debts and liabilities, to be disposed of as such said State may direct ;:but in no event are said debts and liabilities to become a charge upon the Government of_the United States. Third. New States of convenient size, and having sufficient population, may hereafter, by the consent of said State, be formed out of the territory thereof, which shall be entitled, to admission under the provisions of the Federal Constitution. And such States as may be formed out of that portion of said territory lying south of 36 deg. 30 min. north latitude, commonly known as the Missouri compromise line, shall be admitted into the Union, with or without slavery, as the people of each State asking admission may desire. fAnd be it further " Resolved, That if the President of the United States shall in his judgment and discretion deem it most advisable, instead of proceeding to submit the foregoing resolution to the Republic of Texas as an overture on the part of the United States for admission, to negotiate with that Republic ; then be it resolved that a State to be formed out of the present Republic of Texas with suitable extent and boundaries, and with two re presentatives in Congress, until the next appointment of representation shall be admitted into the Union by virtue of this Act, or on an equal footing with the exist. ing States, as soon as the terms and conditions of such admission, and the cession of the remaining territory to the United States shall be agreed upon by the Govern ment of Texas and the United States. And the sum of 8100,000 is hereby apportioned to defray the expenses of missions and negotiations to agree upon the terms of said admission and cession, either by treaty or by articles to be submitted to the two Houses of Congress as the President may direct." (Correspondence of the Express.) WASHINGTON, FEB. 27. The deed is done, and Texas becomes a part of the Union. The excitement is intense here, and will be more intense with you. The alleys, the areas, the halls, the corridors tending to the Senate Chamber were thronged, and word was passed from per son to person announcing the result with the greatest anxiety and solemnity. It was received with the silence and gravity becoming so momentous a vote. The annexation of Texas by a mere resolution of Con gress, is a revolution in the Government. It often is wiser to submit to a revolution than to resist it ; and it may be in this case. We ought, however, to insist, and so far as we can, compel Mr. Polk to take the treaty form of annexation, rather than the joint resolution form, and so far save the Constitution. Upon that let there be agitation. The truth is, however, it is a reso lution not binding in the least upon us, who are op posed to it. Merrick, Henderson, and Johnson deserve the lashing of the public press. They have betrayed the country, violated their own consciences, and broken their oaths and the Constitution, wilfully and knowingly. On the contrary, how gallantly have the Kentucky Senators, the Virginia Senators, Mr. Mangum, of N.C., Mr. Jarnagin, of Tenn., Mr. Berrien, of Geo., and Mr. Barrow, of La., borne themselves. Shame on the 40 , Senators from New York, who have sold themselc po p ssess atronage and office. The annexation of Texas practically throws the ; vernment, its patronage, and power, for fifty 3e 6 i come, into the hands of the South, where it has he e 'j fifty years past. I had rather it be there than, tM what calls itself the democracy of the North--00 the miserable abolitionists chuckle over what they done, for they did it. Cannon are booming in joy over the vote of tY . O Senate. The powder bad better be saved for a sra,r4,oo Mexico—for Almonte, the Mexican Minister, Wi" d el take an angry leave of us. Powder fitly antes the first step of a Republic in the way of conquest robbery. cdusl e Two Senators from Texas will walk into the .°0 Chamber the next session, and probably four from and Florida, all anti-Tariff of course. - (From the National intelligencer.) dieLt The reader will learn, from the Senate's procce ei of last night, that the Joint Resolution of the H° °- t he Representatives for the admission of Texas into od Union, having acquired the support of Mr. Bent° t io others, by incorporating his last project as an to the provision of the House resolution, passed thews I nate by a majority of two votes ; in effect by 011e '„1 change of one vote would have reversed the deci" ° "' producing an equality of votes. n osid Our readers must not fall into the error of suPr i ~s 0 that this decision by the Senate settles the . : " 01 11 question. It unsettles it, on the contrary , 00 6re- 110 beyond the possibility of its being determined Attbo altera s present session of Congress. It is hardly possi b l e t the the House of Representatives, with one-half of al est i the business of the session in its hands untouche°6oo again reach a question, which, once taken up , wil l 11 0 1, for other business no remainder of the session. t he should the question be reached, it is still less w ithin t he compass of probability that the amendment ma de 'lO Senate will receive the sanction of the House.
