New YORK, Sept 4. 1S4l.
We are greatly rejoiced to day at the in
telligence whioh reached ms from Washing
ton, especially with reference to the Land
Distribution Bill. From the length Of timo
which had elapsed since its passage it was
found that President, TYLER, might have
made up his mind to veto it. Private
letters however, inform us that it received
his signature on Friday and thus became a
law. In consequence of the brevity of the
session on that day it was not sent to the
House there is no doubt however as 10 its
having been actually signed. The Fiscal
Corporation Bill was finally passed in tho
Senate on Friday, and probably sent to the
President on Saturday. You will be graf
flied to learn that every Wing and Conscrv-
alive, in that body with the single exception
Of Mr.. RrvEs, voted in favor of the Bill
The apprehension is general that it will be
vetoed, and at Washington the re is said to be
no question that this will be its fate. In adj
di,ion to the influences which have been
brought TO bear upon the Executive from
the Opposition and their firm allies, Wise,
Mallory, s. Co. the course of Wings from
whom more prudent measures might have
been expected, has undoubtedly done not a
little to decide him against anything which sa-
vors of a National Bank. The fierce and
most injudicious dcnunciations of Mcssr..
Bolts and Arnold, could not tend greatly
10 conci %iatioa, which it was hoped
was in progress. No matter how earnestly
these feelings were entertained by these gen.
tlemen they should never have injured the
cause of the party 10 which they are most
ardently attached, by so imprudent a pro-
mitigation Of them. Every effort has been
mado by Wise, and his traitorious clique TO
persuade thePresident that these are not only
the sentiments Of the gentlemen who nave
and it is to be feared that in this they have
succeeded bit too we'll.
Priva.e letters have been received from
those who have every opportunity of being
accurately informed, which state that there
is but little doubt of a speedy dissolution Of
the Cabinet. 1t is not expected however till
aster the ad journmentof Congress. The in
tercourse between the President and every
gentleman of his Cabinet has uniformly been
courteous and kindly every officer has been
most indefatigagle in the discharge Of his
official duties. But the immediate friends Of
the President have urged a dissolution Of
Gen. Harrison's Cabinet, and the choice of
another for more than a month before the
Bank Collision and it is confidently expec-
ted that their c%ounsels will prevail. As to
, their successors but little is definitely known {.
Some lctter-wrlter. have confidently affirm
ed that it would be composed wholly of
young men, and the same Of Mr.. Wise, has
often been mentioned as likely to be one Of
the foremost in the new organization. lam
most happy to believe that for this there is
not the least foundation. A letter from a
good and most reliable source, received to-
: day, says that Judge Upshur, Of Virginia,
will undoubtedly be Secretary of State, and
that Messrs. Gushing, King, of Geo. Baltic
Peyton, of La. Walter Forward, ofPa. will
have places in the new Cabinet. II was
said in this city to day that Ex-Governor
Marcy, Of this state, had been offered a
seat but had declined it. There are several
circumstances which had led me to believe il
G true. If President Tyler cannot get along
with such a Cabinet as is at present organi-
zed, | see little use in supporting. Between
. Daniel Webster and his associates, and John
Tyler and his, ! am sure there could DO but
little hesitation in choosing.
The advices from England caused a very
sudden advance in the prices of Flour
The intelligence Of failure in the Corn
and Wheat of England of course produced
an immediate change in our own MARKET
There is but little Flour in the city at pros
ent, and no large sales have therefore taken
e place. Business is Just now exceedingly an
c mated. 1t is said indeed that the .jobbers'
have never sold so large an amount of goods
in the same time since 1886, as within the
Il few weeks last passed. Merchants from the
country are beginning to throng the city
