The New York letter of the pha- delphia Inquirer says:
 The Chinese Junk is visited very con. s'derabIy. Every man you meet asks you if you have seen the junk. No, but l mean to. Have you2 No, but mean to. So We go. By the way, talk ing of junks, what has become of the English junk, the Sarah Sands 2 That vessel left Liverpool on the 18th of last month. and here we are in the middle of Juiy-a full month from her departure, and she has not yet arrived She is now in her thirtieih day, and if she does not arrive very soon, she will not make a much more rapid voyage than dic the Chinese junk. Seriously, the Sarah Sands has been an extraordinary long lime at sea for a steamship, and the friends of the passengers are getting a < larmed for her safety. No great alarm need be felt, however, for her safety, as she is built of iron, and is divided into five waiertIgat compartments, which would prevent her from sinking. She may run short of provisions, and that is she chief misfortune she can meet.

MR. TRIsT. The Washington Union of the 10th inst says that Mr. Trist had no powers to conclude an armisiice. and to arrest military operations, tfntil (ac, cording to the principle of Mr. Bnchan, ans letter 10 Com. Conner, of July 27, lS46,) a treaty of peace shall have beer ratified by Mexico. It is also fact, that no authority was given 10 override and supersede Gen. Scott, nor 10 treat the General with the slightest indgnity or contempt of his military functons.- It is equally untrue, as we understand, that the government has abandoned the position which it originally took in rela- ton to Gen. Scott and Mir. Trist.

Dixon Fs. Lewis,

The Baltimore correspondent of the Florence Gazette in relation 10 the appointment of Mir. Lewis as a member of the Board of Visiters 10 West Point says:
 It has been gratifying, no doubt, to the whole people of Alabama, to wit- ness such testimonial of the Presi-. denl's confidence and respect towards Mir. Lewis. as he has shown in appoints ing him to that honorable position. You perceive that the people of New York have also evinced thelr high respect for your noble Senator, by rendering him public dlnne:. That honor, however,
 imagine will be declined for Mr. Lewis is plain republican, and is opposed to any great parade being raised on his account. He would prefer meeting his friends in plain unostentatious manner, and interchangng sentiments with them in social quietude. His health is said to have been better, when he felt here, than it has been at any former period for the last twenty years. He has been ardu- ously engaged here, ever slrce few weeks after the close of Congress, in the transaction of business of both public and private character. Amongst other things he has purchased some fif- teen or twenty thousand dollars worth of negroes, for the use of himself and son on their plantations, ft home. His fine judgment, in buying servants, has enabled him 10 make some of the finest purchases. The negro troders here and elsewhere, give it up that they know nothing of negroes, when Dixon H. Lewis is about. Alabama has rea- son to be proud of her big Senator for he is certainly one of her greatest men great, not only in size, but great in mind and soul. No man comes to Con gross with more of tho respect of the public than he commands. His ortho> doxy, his industry, and his capacities for business can never fail 10 secure for him the confidence and esteem of any deli, beratve body in which he may be Ca He'd to serve, By such means, he acquir1 as chairman of the committee of finance. high reputation in the U. 5. Senate, and, as long as he continues in that dig~ nified station, he will continue to enJoy that distinguished reputation.

FRoM THE PLAiNs.-Our ate ntive correspondent at Westport informs us, says the St. Louis Revelle, that recent rumors from the plains represent mats ters in a adeplorabIe light there. Mann's Fort, on the Arkansas, has been burned by the Indians, and a report was current Fort William also had been destroyed.
 Five hundred men had marched to the relief of Lieut.. Love.
 Maj. Daugher,y had returned to Fort Leavenw orth, having succeeded in re- covering nearly all his cattle, and send ing them on with the troops that wen out under Col. Easton.
 Two Govt trains of 30 wagons each left Westport for Santa Fe on the 9th.

sWHAT's IN THE WIND Within the fast few days we have noticed con siderable 'squirming' among the anti-war portion of the Taylor men. In certain quarters. tangible signs of crawfshine are evident, while in many sections oi ihe country the democracy are beginning 10 break ground in favor of the old hero for the Presidency.
 The last number of the New York Tribune, the leading organ of the whigs in the United States, which every body had supposed was fully and irretreva bly, committed to Taylor, backs out in this unequivocal manner:
 We think Gen Taylor has evinced some good qualities in this war, which would be servceable in almost any ca. psci.y, but he is not our choice for Pres, ident.
 ssss We think there are other whigs who have evinced greater capac> fly for ihe Presidency than Gen. Taylor, and who have MORE THOROUGH> LY DESERVED IT.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,

Juiy lO, iCtf. SIR :-The gross receipts from lhe customs from the lst of December, l646, 10 the l0lh of July, lS47, under the ta- riff of lS46, compared with the same period of the previous year under the tariff l842, exhibits an increase of the tariff of l846 of enc million and four thousand dollars. This is exclusive ot the duties accrued on goods in warehouse under lhe new warehousing law, which is nearly half million, and will make the total augmentation of duties accrued during the first seven months and ten days of the tariff of lS46, compared with the same time under the tariff of lS42, about one million and half of dollars.
 Since my last letter 10 you, we have received returns for the month of Jnne and the first ten days of July, which would seem 10 indicate.that the sugnen- talion of the revenue is still progressing. am, sir, very respectfully,
 Your obedent servant,
 R. J. WALKER,
 Secretary of the Treasury. Hon. s. ADAMS Pontotoc, Miss.

A Bubble Burs..-.Grcat rai,urc.

Some four or i've years ago a compa- ny was formed in New York to raise money 10 get possession of tho treasure sunk near that city, in Kidd's piraticaI vessel. Stock 10 the amount of S3OO,- 900 was issued. A good many people embarked their little all' in it. and have been ever since waiting patiently 10 reap fortunes from their investments. The whole of this rascaly affair has just been prematurely exploded by one of the stockholders filing bill in chancery against his copaftners Tn the concern.- The consequence will be the develop- ment of rascali.ies that would make even Kidd himself blush. The process by which the shares in this piralcal con- cern were disposed of is as follows.-- They are described in a letter 10 the Baltimore Republican:
 sWhen people applied for stocks, they were shown by the banker and receiver, an old gun, which they said was recov> cred from the wreck, also various coins of god and silver, said 10 have been bored by the workmen, auger, &c.- These relics induced many 10 purchase stock. The afIidavils and statements show that ihe gun was sunk Me dav 6es fore it was raised with great ceremony; and also, that the coins were gilded and manufactured for the purpose of deceiv- lug. The acger even was rusted and broken to have the appearances of hav- ing performed the identical feat set forth by the company. Altogether a more plausible, yet shameless fraud, has new CT been pracIised on the American peo- ple.'
 It is said that full exposure of this shallow fraud will duplicate men in New York of the highest standing- some of them worth their hundreds of thousands of dollars. The ,xpedients which have been used to keep the fraud alive, says another letter from N. York, will cause marvel at the ylllainy and duplicity, the cupidity and gullibility of he world. Large quantities of the shares have been sold in London and Liverpool, and amongst the recent arri> vals al New York from England are several of the dupes- Mobile Herald.
