I.ONDON 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 deem 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 risfal schemes in the following passages of the Report, viz. : "As regards local accommodation, we are of opinion that the Merits of the 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 peni4e, it may be considered that the London and York scheme, on the whole, preset is 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 saint ends may be obtained at much less cost, by means of 218 miles of new railway Wstead of 327, the length of the entire London and York sehew. Tire Committee call attention to the fact, that whilst the replFt 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 331 miles of new railway, still leaving the public to travel front Cambridge to London (a lis t nee of more tin 50 miles) upon the existing Northern and Eastern Railway, and tlMving the tnmk 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 he completed with stations, metropolitan terminus, and the requisite working stack of engines, carriages, &c., for a less suns than .8,000,000/." But the Committee beg to observe, that the carrying establishment (which the report very much over estimates, at an average of 3,3881. 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 6,500,000/., the difference therefore between that es timate, and the estimate put forth by the Board, is only 500,000/. ; and Whon the Committee state, that sio question or explanation upon the estimate was asked by the Board of Mr. Cubitt, their Engineer, aor 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 fapital of 6,500,000/., Parliament gives the power of borrowing 2,166,000/s 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 plane would only cost 4,250,0001. On this head the same kind of fallacy- prevails the London and York scheme is estimated, including carrying wtablishment, the others excluding that expense. Moreover (as will be seen by the table below) instead of 218 m:l2s at a cost of 4,259,0001., the Report recommends 334 miles at an expense of 3,785,0001. (a sum only 715,0001. short of the London and York esti mate), and if the carrying establishment of 1,000,000/. be added, at a east of 6,785,0001., which would be only 1,215,0001. short of the 3,000,000/., at which the Board estimates the London and York scheme ; still leaving the trunk traffic to run over more 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 in the report of the Board of Trade exceeds 18,0041. a mile (excepting the Far ringilon-street Extens'on, and except also the North end of the Direct Northern, wilt• h is estimated at 22,000/.), whilst two of them stand at 8,0001. a mile, the Midland schemes at 13,0001., and the Grimsby, tor 60 miles through Lincolnshire, at 10,0001. per Haile. The whole of the linos north of Cambridge which traverse precisely the same country as that of the London and York, do not average 11,000/. per mile ; and there can be no reason Br saying that the London and York lines in those parts vomit on the whole be much more expensive With regard to the London end of the line, the Report, with peculiar inconsistency, charges the London and York with 29,00(1!. per mile, whilst it sanctions the Eastern Counties estimate from Hertford to Biggleawade, through twenty-five miles of the same eountry, at 18,000/. per mile. The Committee are assured by Mr. Cubitt, and the Board of Trade's Report furnishes :ilditional reason to rely upon accuracy, that the original estimate of 5,1500,000/.--about 20,0001. a mile —will be sufficient for every part of the work. - On the subjoct of traffic the Committee will only remark, that as the Board of Trade is satisfied that the ttaflic of the district will not only remunerate the outlay of 6,782,0001.—the estimates for the lines they approve—but that it will also pay a mileage toll upon fifty mutes of the Northern and Eastern—that toll would be abundantly sufficient to remunerate the outlay of the additional 1,215,000/., making 8,000,0001., which wettish 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 npon 331 a- 50 -, 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 Bsard's Report substituted for those lilies from' Bawtry to Sheffield, and from Don caster to Wakefield, 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 Cotuities and Midlands, must be neces sarily inconclusive; shut the Eastern Counties is not sufficiently ad vanced to enjoy the Leneflts cf a through line, or even whin may be termed an extended line; and the Midland average of 411. per mile per week is made tip for the year ending June, 1843, (and not 1844, Ile Stated in the Report) of the aggregate of three lines--the North Midland, 72 miles bringing 541. ; the Midland Counties, 57 miles, bringing 42/. ; and the I lrrningham and Derby, 48 miles, bringing 231. 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. per mile for carriage of minerals, whereas, if, as the projectors attic 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 neeeMarily be equal to 201. per nine per week. The Committee are not only fully prepared to prove the ample traffic on their line—and that their estimated income of 1,000,0001. Is not, as alleged in the Report of the Board of Trade, exaggerated —but so far from their income being dependent upon the ditkrence between three halfpence and twopence-farthing placed on part of their passenger income, or u , on their security from compe'ition, they are in it condition to show that even one-half of their whole eethiiitted passenger traffic, and 6/. instead of '2Ol. per mile per week for mineral traffic, would give an income of 51. per cent. upon a capital of eight milllons, after deducting 401. per cent. for working expenseo. In alruslon to the accommodation of the great county of Lincoln, the Report Norther states, that, " by a double line or loop, the London and York scheme requires the mak ng 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 10 , 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, comoriscs only 111.4 miles, the lines proposed by the Board of Trade within the same county extend to . 0 . 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 toopumerous to be treated of here, but which the London and York Committee will take care shall be fully set forth atm the merits of the ease of the London and York shall be under the consideration of the Parliamentary Committee on the to assembling of the House of Commons. In tonclusion, the Committee beg leave to reit2rate, that where (as In the case of the London and York) the district through which new railway is projected, is urgent and unanimous in Its favour, and the r:quisite capital is subscribed, they cannot be lieve that Parliament will refuse its sanction, out of regard to the In . tereeta 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 tinder which the economical conclusions of that Iteant have been drawn, give every confidence to the Committee of the ultimate sue acej of the schenn!--and the Committee are persuaded Parliament will recognise the public importance of an integral line under one management, and its vast superiority over a series of lines, which in . terposc obstacles to the traveller at every change. - LINES APPROVED OR SUGGEiTED BY THE BOARD OF TRADE.

Cattning Int 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 annexati.m 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 net long be an kception to the general law. But the Americans will 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 yetoletaadt to a i all m m . p el o c r o t i a n n e t t c o o t n h s o e s l e ue o n f e t e hz North, and may The prop:sition 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 princip!e of the highest po 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 umrped 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. Pll 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 have 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 doctm ent, than by choosing for that pur pose the era of our quasi " transition state," from a monopoly-ridden condition and class protections tc 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, expr, ssed 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, arra 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 Roma's. 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 tht still more hampering influence of official advisers. It belongs only, we fear, to an acute mind, an uncom promised judgment, and a philosophical estimate o! 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 t. 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. lie, of all the QUEEN'S sub jects, can least afford to act practically and independ ently on the dictates of his unbiassed judgment. W( feel the more obligation to any private individual who will adopt this salutary course, even if it be a. 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 hare done, as yet, so little to testify their own appreciation of them. Madrid journals of the 18th inst. state that th( discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on the Church Property Restoration Bill had been brought to e close on the 17th, and that the Bill had passed by e majority Gf 126 to 16. Previous to the conclusion 01 the debate NARVAISZ, 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 wiih. The present measure as necessary, not only as an act of justiv towards the clergy, but also to satisfy the Court of Rome. 'With these view s the suspension of the sales had been resolved on, and the restitution only post poned till the proper time. On the 18th a couriel was dispatched to Rome with the intelligence. Tht capital was quite tranquil, and preparations were it progress for celebrating the Easter festival witl. unusual splendour. The Court, it was understood, would go to Aranjuez al.out the middle of April. On the 18th the Thre:.•. per Cents. left off at 35 at 60 clays ; the Five per Cents. at 2.54 for cash, and 26 at 60 days ; the Coupons at 28a for the 16th of April; and the Debt without Inter( 3; at 71, at 59 days. The intelligence from Enrich is t ) the 21st inst The rev,lution of the Diet relative to the suppressio.. of free corps, which we gave yesterday, had beei: : - .dopted by thirteen and two half states, and conse quently became a federal law. The President, M. MoussoN, 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. lh 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, arid 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 rnua good sense, and points out to the different cantons vt hat 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." " Vienna, March 13, 1845. " A MONSIEUR DE PHILLIPSBERG, A ZURICH. " Monsieur,—You have acquainted us with the mani festations addressed successively by the Courts of Lon don and Paris to the Federal Directory, in Pi-der to show the Confederation the impression produced uron those Cabinets by the events of which Switzerland has for some months been the theatre. " 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 Governmmt of nrith, upon the occasion of its entry upo n it s di ree , or i a l func tions. Ido not, besides, doubt but that upon all occa sions, when during the present Diet you have had to express the int ?talons 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 alum 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 i n t ernat i ona l j ur i spru d ence , as well as his desire to see other States, especially those which, in consequence of their geographical position, are in most frequent relations n ith his monarchy, main tain thems, Ives in stich wise as that they may be in the condition of exercising reciprocity in regard to Austria. His Majosty, 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 constittred ibt,) a political body, recognised by Europe, you will recid to mind that the same subject has been develop d by our Cabinet in more than one of the disp itches ad Tressed by me during the course of late years to our legation in Switzerland, especially in 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 chane,s of seeing nullified the Act of 1315, and ancord 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. l'he 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 wisd:jm 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 de 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, vi ith arms in hand, murder and pillage into the territory of an inoffensive neighbour, such a Government would nut 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 sentirneiitS that are always naturally ex cited by the violation of sworn faith. Such a disorder must be put an end to, an l extirpated by the root. It mug cease to be possible that a canton, besieged by armed Lands 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 elm 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 presont 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 hare 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 'edera tion ; the other, that, looking at her present posi ,ion, all upon the same point of view, the powers have claim to the presumption of believing themse!ves in the right, It now remains to be seen how far the delegates of the Swiss people will know how to secure their country ..rom the incalculable evils that the 'unchecked liberty ll o wed 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, a n d en t e red o n th e discussion cf the Customs Bill. The Deputies were - o 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 'ppressively 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 mischief caused, not only by restricting foreign commerce, but even the domestic intercourse between different departments. Matters," says the Dentocratie Pacffique, " have peen so arranged amongst us, that every treaty of - eciprocity, whether a treaty relating to manufac ture, agriculture, or maritime affairs, 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 nanner obliged to consume in part the productions of he locality. Potable liquors and corn could give ,ccupation to an immense coasting trade, if stupid tnd barbarous taxes did not force them to be con sumed on the place where they were produced. it is m account of these duties that corn is seen to occupy , n the South the place of vines, which could produce excellent wines, :.nd that the wines of Argenteuil and 'iuresne are drunk at Paris."

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, Carnl-street, a boy aged eight years. The deceased, who slept in the front parlour of thohouse, 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 smoke. 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, san k u p on th e 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.—Verdict, " Acci dent 11 death."—Manchester Times.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING. By the arrival of the New York ship Indiana, Captain Bennett, we have received papers uf 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 coecurrence. (Correspondence of the Herold.) 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 w, re left open. The an:c chamber was filled with ladies, who could hear the speak ing inside through the open door. Never before, pro bably, did the Senate Cl • amber contain so many spec tators as on this important occasion. At an ear y 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 affirmative-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 no 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 Almontc 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 efloat 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 re N.—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 hums. 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 trected into a new State to be called the State of '1 eras, 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 follow ing 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 Gove•rem, n's; and the consti tution thereof, with the proper evid, nee 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 Unite d States all mines, minerals salt lakes, and springs; and also all pubicdifices, fortifica tions, barracks, ports and harbours, navy and navy yards, docks, magazines, arms, armaments, 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. lAnd 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 lepublic 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 $lOO,OOO is hereby apportioned to defray the expenses of missions and negotiations to agree upon the ter ms 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 Exp; cu.) 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 thp 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 smators, 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 Senators from New York, who have sold there' 4,0 po p ssess atronage and oce.

(From the National h telligeneer.) ce dlit i The reader will learn, from the Senate's pin gore: of last night, that the Joint Resolution of the 7,t0 7 .1 Representatives for the admission of Teigs i s , Union, having acquired the support of Mr. 1 3 e, 11— r ielk' others, by incorporating his last project as an al i t e the Sr to the provision of the House resolution, passe' . 0 1 nate by a majority of two votes ; in effect by 0.. 11° . 0 1 ,,,q! change of one vote would have reversed the dee ° producing an equality of votes. Our readers must not fall into the error of suPP °34 O l that this decision by the Senate settles the 4o o l l question.
