PoLITICs IN New YoRK.-A correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun, writing from Albany on the
18th, says " The friends of Mr.. Clay held meet
ing at the Capitol last evening, at which the only
big gun exploded was Dudley Selden, now of New
York, but formerly Representative in Congress
from this district. Dudley Selden is a backslder
from the democratic faith. He warmly urged the
claims of Henry Clay, and as warmly repudiated
the proceedings of the Philadelphia Convention
end the nomination of Gen. Taylor. 1t is estimated
that the new element, the Clay agitation may pos
sibly take from one hundred to one hundred and
fifty thousand votes from the side of Gen. Taylor.
The Van Buren, men will take more from Gen.
Cass. So that in fact, was stated in former
letter, political chances and changes particularly
loose and uncertain at all points.
''I'he Secretary of War left Albany this morning
for Springfield, to make an examination of the U.
S. Armory at that place.
:" On Tuesday morning, the Secretary of the
Treasury passed through Albany on his way to
Boston, He is understood to be specially engaged
IN perfecting his proposed improvements of the
Warehousing System, as alluded to in his last an

men in New York, inviting Mr. Walker to a pablo
dinner, was somewhat elaborate upon his admin
istration of the financial affairs of the Government
and in the highest degree complimentary to him as
public officer. 1t is understood that Mr.. Walker
cannot accept the invitation for reasons which he
may give in his reply TO the letter He is not fond
of crowds or demonstrations, and though his health
has been perfectly restored, there may be reasons
satisfactory which have caused him to decline
