The ENGLISH News The news from England,
which we received yesterday by the "Garrjck,"
in anticipation of every other paper in this city,
and issued in an EXTRA is decidedly interesting, not
only to the merchant, but to the general and phi
losophical reader. We allude particularly to the
intelligence relative to the new excitement in rela
ton to the disturbance in the Episcopal Church of
England-otherwise called the Puseyite contro-
versy. It appears that the whole daily press OF
London, is now engaged in the discussion of this
subject, and it would appear that the new doc
trines, Innovations, they are called by the Ok
ford divines, now occupy the public mind to the
exclusion Of every thing else. A famous pastoral
letter, recently issued by the Bishop Of Exeter, ap
pears to have been the chief generating cause Of
this new excitement, that is spreading all
over England with increasing intensity as it pro-
ceeds, and developing itself in variety of amusing
and fancifal forms, and entirely pushing aside the
usual questions OF the day in relation to politics
Peel-anti.cor law agitasion-and all the other
orthodox subjects of popular discussion, clamor
and disturbance. Our extracts from the English
journals, will put our readersin possession OF much
curious and interesting intelligence this subject
We are very happy to observe that an improvement
has taken place in the cotton market in Liverpool,
which, if it be followed up by similar improvement
hereafter, may have the effect OF avertng the dan
gers and calamlties which began to be apprehend
ed by the commercial interest here. The news on
this point is extremely gratifying, and accordingly
we circulated it at an early hour all over the city,
and sent it to our correspondents to the remotest
boundaries of the republic by the afternoon mails
Of yesterday.
Tho next news will be extremely interesting, as
developing still further the progress of the advance
in the cotton market, and particularly the progress
of the Puseyite excitement in England, which now
derives great interest here from the peculiar cond
tioa Of the Episcopal Church in this country
Crisis OF the Annexation Question-Fcrmen-
tation In tho Democracy.
A very important crisis is now rapidly coming
to maturity in the democratic party, on the annexa
ton question. We have already given some
glimpses Of the position of this question, and of the
symptoms attending the present fermentation in the
party, concurently taking place at Washington,
Albany, New York, and throughout the country
At Washington the excitement amongst the demo-
cracv on this subject is most intense, and has been
increased by another speech from Mr.. Brnkerhof
an Ohio member Of the House, in opposition to the
plans of Mr. Calhoun. In Albany, the same fermen
atlve process amongst the ciqMes in the legislature
and the office-holders, is also rapidly increasing.
But the most curious developments and symp-
toms in this excitement in the democracy-an ex
citement which may lead to an entire re- organiza-
ton Of the elements of that party, and to results OF
the most important character upon the country il
sef-exist in this city. From the last election
up to the present time, the excitement il relation
10 this absorbing question has existed amongst pr
vate cHques and circles Of the democracy, but now
it begins to come out into the open day, and we
cordngly see that no less than three different meet
ings ofthe democracy called at different periods
in relation to the immediate annexation of Texas
The new Democratic General Committee, for
the present year, Of which Alderman Purdy is
Chairman, have already passed resolutions in
favor Of the annexation of Texas as an abstract
question, without going into details, and also in
favor Of a modification Of the tariff. Under the
sanction OF this committee, a meeting has been
called at Tammany Hall, on Friday evening, the
oath of January. Another meeting is also called
by the Collector of the Port, and other Democrats,
on Friday, the 18th inst; and the third meeting
takes place tomorrow evening, at st. Johns Hall,
which is called by the well-known and famous
Empire Club. We have no doubt that all these
meetings will be large, and that vast amount OF
public feeling will be generated and thrown abroad
upon the world.
Such is the situation of this interesting and lead
ing question Of the day-the annexation Of
Texas. As the first meetings on this all
important subject, since the last election will be
held in this city, three in number, one in each
week, we shall report them all seriatim, and with
the greatest fulness and accuracy, with all the bye
play and excitement. The movements of Congress
will depend upon these meetings, and other exhib.
ITEMS of feeling occurring in Albany and elsewhere.
The ARIsTocRAcY OF NEW YoRK.-We are hap
py to learn that Mr.. Moses Y. Beach-the publisher
Of that beautiful brochure called the "Book of
Wealth." or Peerage Of Manhattan Isand-wlll
soon be able to issue new edition, amended and
free from error. This little pamphlets necessary
in the fashionable and financial circles is probably
written by Mr. Noah, who is now one Of the litera-
ry and political associates Of Mr.. Beach, engaged
with him in the work Of enlightening the world,
which in some particulars they do in very suc-
cessful degree. 1t is sold for twenty-five cent?,
and is issued on much cheaper system than Beachs
bank paper. We trust the sale will be immense, as
the proceeds are to be devoted to the creation ofa
fund for the redemption of the small notes of the
Plainfield Bank. We advise holders of these notes,
however, not to wait for the completion Of this
fund, but to proceed al bnce and get the Painield
bills exchanged.

synopsis of this Discourse" on the morning after
IL was delivered hut on looking over thia coyvect
ed. amended and enlarged edition OF it by the
author, we perceive that it is far superior to the
original speech, and may now be considered as
one OF the most ingenious, popular and conclusive
arguments against the authenticity Of the Christian
religion that has been published Of late years. Ii
is sort Of historical argument, laboring to show
that Christianity is altogether deusion, and is
much more popular and applicable to it's purposes
