There is great deal OF agitaiion-a private and
confidential species Of agaton-amongt the demo-
cratic eoferies here. have just learned from the
bert authority, that Mr.. Polk the President elect.
will be in Philadelphia in about six weeks, some-
time in the month Of January !. seems he has
communicated such intention TO his friends here,
and the probability is that he will leave Tennessee
after the lst Of January. He will travel through
Kentucky, Ohio, and the western section of this
State to Philadelphia, where he will remain
I'LL the approach OF the 4,h Of March, and then
proceed TO Washington. II is also probable that
all his cabinet arrangements will be made soon af-
ter his arrival here; and variety Of mysterious
hints are given out as 10 the complexion and color
OF these appointments. But Of this more anon
There is strong movement making here among
the Pennsylvania politicians TO possess themselves
OF the influence and direction OF the new adminis-
traton, and TO avail themselves OF the rivalry be-
tween the South Carolina and New York cliques,
in order to outsrlp and overreach both in the dis
posal of offices, and formation OF measures, in

understand that Mr.. Polk believes that, in a great
measure he Is indebted TO Pennsy lvania for his
unexpr cted elevation, than TO any other State of
the ULion. If this be So and his proposed visit to
Philadelphia previous 10 the Inauguration would
seem to indicate as much, will not such a belief
have some material influence future leeisla-
tion on the tariff There is a confident opinion
entertained here, among the friends Of Mr.. Polk,
that he will never sanction any ultra measures cal
culated TO impair the protection TO The great manu-
featuring interests Of Pennsylvania. II this he SO,
what will Mr.. Calhoun and the South say?
On the subject Of Texas, you may rely that
Pennsylvania will go for annexation, but with as
little slavery possible. One thing tie New York
politicians may rely upon-Mr. Dallas will possess

tration His position as Vice President, with the
casting vote In our evenly balanced Senate, gives
hun n rubrtuntiai power on every queesion-eSery
measure, and every nomination, which he will use
TO advance the interests and weight Of Pennsylva-

So much for politics, which is just beginning to
be very interesting science to all philosophical
observers, and particularly all office beggars.
The stock market here is affected by the same
influences as it is in New York. There is no real
as the broken United States Bank, the broken
Glrard, and few other broken stocks. Good
| banks, well managed are as firm as ever, and
will continue TO be so. Large speculatons
have little or no announcement, but steady
trade Is good. 1t is generally supposed that after
the first furry shall have passed away, money will
be plenty. 1t Mr. Clay had been elected, spirit
| Of speculation would have sprung up, that would
have materially interiered with those in busl-
ness, and have thus created great competition
and a. reduction OF profits to Individuals.
Now all these prospects have disappeared, and
| trade Of all kinds will find its own natural level.
In fact the prospects OF the next seven years de-
pends on the management OF the banks institu-
| tions which actually possess the whole power OF
/ legislation the currency of the
long as they remain in the present state OF organ
| Zation.
| This city is full Of fine hotels, which shall no.
tice at length hereafter. There is one must men,
| tion now, and that is the famous franklin House,
| established by MIR Sanderson, formerly well known
as the Merchants Exchange, on the Partisan plan,
| somewhat similar 10 the New York Hotel uptown,
| IN New York. The Franklin is most admirably
| constructed and arranged, and is conducted with
degree OF skill and taste equal TO any one in Paris.
MIR. SandersOn Is an original genius in his way.
| He has published a very amusing little brochure on
| The science OF eating, which ought TO be on the
tables OF every eating house, every boel, IN The
| country. He proves positively that we don't know
how TO eat in this couniry-but he admits that we
have great genius tor scientific eating, and most
| extraordinary capacity tor learning TINS new scl-
ence. think this subject should be taken up and
lectured upon at once, by some one under the pa
tronage OF the American Institute, the Society LII
brary, Chamber OF Commerce, or some other ven-
cradle body Of men and christians.
| The elite OF Philadelphia beginning to learn
to ride gracefully on horseback. Many Of the fair
Friends Society are putting on riding habits and
mounting the animal. There is very excellent
| riding school here, opened and kept by Mr..
| Charles Neali, who came over in the suite
| of Fanny Essler. He has number of very well
| trained horses, and, with his skill and pollteness,
he is making himself quite q tayorite with the
lovers OF the n,enage in Philadelphia.
Thearicas are prospecting very much. have
| been at all the theatres, and have been quite
surprised at the good houses. They are prln-
| OF substantial citizens, for the beau monde
here are pretty much broken down with the late u.
| $ Bank. Anderson had very good house last
night at the Cheenu, but not so many in the boxes
| as had reason to expect. He played Macbeth,
| but not so much to my liking some OF his other
| characters Burton is doing good business at the
| pieces with tast'. Welsh has crowded houses at
| the Olympic every night. On the whole every
thing theatrical looks prosperous.
