She has arrived by this time should think We shall
probably receive her at O'Clock this afternoon
by the New Haven boat.
Progress OF the TyIer-Calhoun Movements
symptoms OF the fall of Van Buren,, and
OF the rise Of Clay.
The two greatest and most original centres for
political action in this glorious, fertile, funny ana
philosophical country ARE certainly the city OF Wash
ington and the city of New York. In the former
city the impulses of mere politicians prevall-in the
latter, those of the people. In Washington all is
interest. intrigue. violence and foy-in New Y ork
all is nature, impulse. fun and philosophy.
Let us come to facts. During the whole winter
In Washington, the politicians have been forming
plots, arranging detas-concocting tickets, and in
trigung for the next Presidency, and also the sue
cesslon. In New York we arrange popular move
ments-origlnate partes-try popular expert
ments, and startle the world with great facts
strange public meetings-and singular results. We
have astonlshcd the whole world and bit of the
next by the recent election, in which both the old
parties were defeated-and new party were trI-
umphant in the election of Harper and the natives.
We are about to astonish the politicians at Wash.
ington, and the whole Union, by fresh Tyler.
Calhoun movement, that will have greater infu-
cess of Henry Clay, than any thing that has yet
taken place.
Let us come to still further facts On Saturday
last, large meeting was held in the ballroom of
the Shakespeare of the Tyler and Calhoun men, at
which grand union was made, without muse, be-
tween these two sections of the democracy, to OPP
pose the nomination and election OF MIR. Van
Buren,, under tho name of going for "Capting
Tyler" which, however, means Mr.. Bunk um, and
will only aid the cause of gallant, fearless,
glorious, bouncing Henry Clay. At this meet
ing all the Calhoun men in this city took
part--some as offcers-some as orators-some
speakers-some as roarers-some as cld-
gueurs Charles Newman, the celebrated
Subterranean, made an eloquent speech, and
walked into Webster and Curtis like book or a
house on fire At this meeting about eighty re-
representatives. were elected for the grand State Ty-
Ter Convention which is to be held here on Thurs
day, this week; at which delegates are to be cho-
sen for the convention in Baltimore, the 9th OF
May the opposition convention to that of the regu-
lar Van Buren, convention
Thus we go. We do not conceive-nor can any
man out of the lunatc asylum conceive, that all
this can give Mr.. Tyler any chance of reelection,
not even halt vote-but il will undoubtedly hold
the balance of power in the ensuing elecion-and
be decidedly adverse to Yam Buren,. This move
ment is disturbing and disorganising element in
the democratic party, while the friends of Henry
Clay are united, firm, fearless, and getting more
confident and more musical every day
The merry month of May will determine the
whole game of the Presidency We do not expect
to see Congress transact any business of importance
till all the eggs Matched, and the conventions
are held, and till it shall be fully known who are
to be the Presidential candidates without doubt or
hesitation. We believe that Clay the one side,
and Van Buren, on the other, will be the only men,
nor can any intrgues at Washington, alter that POI
sltion When thatissue shall have been finally settled
then both parties in Congress will go to work, and
place themselves in their several positions before the
country on all the prominent measures of the day.
The real session will only begin with the beginning
of June.

New York POLICE BILL.-Ths important bill
was ordered to third reading the Assembly or
Saturday. It was unanimously agreed to by the
delegation from this city. See Albany letter.
IMPORTANT HEIRsHIp.-We understand that the
citizen heirs Of John G.. Leake, late of this city
have now made their appearance, and Edward
Sanford, Esq, with other counsel, engaged on
their behalf to institute ejectment suits in the SUI
preme Court of this State, to possession OF
all the lands of which Mr.. Lrake died seized il
the year 1927, which are estimated to be wortf
about 100000.
It appears that the limitation of twenty years il
which persons allowed to assert their claims t6
real property has not yet expired, and the present
heirs (belng ctlzens) cannot be met with the plea
Of ahensm, they have fair chance OF success.
