PorATo ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE Po-
TATo QUESTION recent protracted discus
sions OF the sauams of the American Institute have,
it s well known put all the kitchins in the city
;a aa awful state OF excitement. Inc .ovhs have
beea in a terrible stew. Walters have lost their
appetite, and chambermaids their curiosity, not
being able to think of any thing but but this terri
BILE potato question. The philosophers couldn't ac-
count for the disease at all. But we are happy to
announce that new philosopher has recently APP
peared in the field, who has settled the question
for ever. This sapaM is no less parsonage than
Captain Bailey of the good ship Yorkshire, who
has just brought over some of the finest Irish and
English "murphies" that ever smiled on we'll
garnished table. They are all foreigners''-not
naturalized-nota bit OF it, He is now selling them
of at the wharf in great abundance. This settles
the potato question at once, and we advise every
body to hastento the dock and secure the interest
ing "foreigners' as soon as possible, before they
can possibly have chance to be contaminated.
Captain Bailey is indeed public benefactor, az
well as philosopher He has settled the potato
question He has quieted the kitchins-re-
stored equanimity to the cooks-and saved the
walters and chambermaids from utter distraction
In fact, by the introduction Of these foreigners
he has done more than even Anson. who sailed
round the world

BUSINESS PRosPEcTs-PANIc OvER-We are
happy to announce TO the unfortunate politicians
throughout the country, who have been endeavor-
ing to get up a panic in the money market and bu-
sness operations, that since the advent of the
Presidents Message here and the Interpretation
put upon it by the Wall street fnancers, there is
every reason to believe now that the panic is all
over, and business prospects are brighter then
It is supposed by those sagacious men who start
ed the panic Immediately after the election, that
the shade Of peaceful policy assumed by Mr.. Tyler
and Mr.. Calhoun in their documents to Congress,
will be SO popular that Messrs. Polk and Dallas,
when they reach power, will be obliged to follow
the same track, and be equally peaceful and con-
ciliatory in their policy. 1t is also supposed that
in spite of the:ullra nullifers Of South Carolina,
Mr.. Calhoun and his friends in the south will az
cede with good grace TO reasonable modification
Of the tariff in a reasonable tme-hat they are not
opposed to the Union, and never were, and will do
every thing in their power to give peaceful ad-
mnstration of public affairs both now and hereaf-
ter. But above all, we have every reason to believe
that Texas will be annexed during the present ses-
sion Of Congress, or within year, without war
with Mexico, or disturbance Of our r. ations with
England and France, for it is very well establish.
ed fact that Santa Anna would be very glad to get
rid Of the Texas question. by having chance OF
lingering few millions Of dollars.
The business prospects, therefore, Of the country
have risen very much since the publication OF the
Message, and nothing can mar them unless the
distinguished wings in Congress should get up
some excitement or some movement that may se,
the ultras OF the North and South against each
other, and produce some collision. Yet we hard
ly believe that they would be able to effect thai,
and we trust that the whole country will now go
to work economically and 'industriously, making
hay while the sun shines, and dismssng from
their minds all such ridiculous ideas. as that we
are going to have hard times in consequence Of
the election Of Mr.. Polk The prospect is decided
ly the reverse.

A good many remarks have been made in the news

paragraph in your paper Of yesterday, which re-
quires an explanation on my part. From the arti-

Coliese Of HeraIdry." Now the following are the
facts -
About four or five days before the announce
meas Of the establishment Of nus OoIlege was
ton from the Secretary OF the College, INFORMING
me That ne had nominated me to the once of
. Uaited ates Herald" Having never before
heard word OF this College, and being perfectly
ignorant OF the science Of Heralsry, confess the
communication astonished me very much, but,
unfortunately pnttlng the letter in my pocket lis
able act of neglect, ibid not IL and decline
the honor OF the appointment Immediately how
ever, on the publication Of the establishment Of
the College, and my election to the Office Of
United States Herald, left home with the inten-
tion Of calling on the Secretary Of the College,
and making to him the explanation which now
make 10 you. Meeting him in the street, ! made
an apology for my neglect, told him Of my igno-
rance OF the commonest principles OF Heraldry,
and OF my consequent unfitness TO occupy the office
10 which he had done me the honor to appoint me,
and decidedly and nnhestatingly declined accept
ting Of the Office. AS the gentleman very politely
told me that any further publication OF my name
would be put stop 10, having my own neglect to
blame, in not answering the communication OF the
Secretary informing me OF my nomination to the
Office, as the cause ofmy name in connection with
II ever appearing, and unwilling to oblrude myself
on the attention Of the public, did not consider it
necessary To make any further movement in the
matter. As your paragraph of yesterday would
lead to the belief that had been engaged in getting
up the college, feel called on to trouble you with
this communication, which you will oblige me by
publishing In your paper.
