Ia Il 10 ascertain the vast improvements made Ia
our highways and bye.ways~in the ways OF
this world, or in the ways oil politicians
We should think that Mr.. Clay has had some
experience of New York politicians and New
York receptions, to put much faith in their 80
Tenn avowals aud in their terrible public demon
STATIONS. About eight years ago, Ammo Domni
1910, Mr. Clay made trumphal procession from
one end of New York to the other. At the west,
among the fashionables of Saratoga, coming
down the Hudson river, entering tins great me-
tropois, he was received with shouts, applause,
speeches, promises, and all sorts Of prOdigious
demonstrations of allegiance yet the very men
who were most active in getting up that recep-
ton, and most profuse in their professions of
friendship and eternal allegiance to his cause
these very men were the first to desert him, and
cheat him before the expiration of six months.
We will venture to predict that he will be re-
ceived with equal applause at this day. and be
cheated with equal eflrontery and GOODNESS be-
fore November shall have come and gone. At
this very moment, some of the leading men
who are inviting Mr. Clay TO New York,
are preparing secretly to throw themselves
into movement leading to the elevation
of General Taylor, and endeavoring, pri-
vately and secretly, to open avenues to the
confidence and support of that distinguished
man, while they are parading Mr.. Clay before
the populace of New York, as Titus & Co. do
their elephants, lions, and tigers. In the way
of betting, and otherwise, we have let out an
amount of gas equal to 1920, from his serene
and philosophical highness, Horace Greeley, one
of the principal friends of Mr.. Clay. Part of
This was done by betting and talking of bets; and
we would now ask publicly, if there is any man,
politician, christian, or infidel-to say nothing
of Fourierite-in this great city, who will take
another bet with us of two hundred dollars, that
Mr.. Greeley will not cheat Mr.. Clay again before
the month of December next! Who offers I!
Let Mr.. Clay take care, and beware. He will
be among queer men, and will be in queer
place, in the centre of the Fifteenth ward OF
New York, in the splendid apartments furnished
for him in the New York Hotel. The cuisine OF
that house is admirable the attendance superb
the arrangements for cookery are unrivaled; but
after these creature comforts, all is said. The
politicians of New York can intrigue, and de-
ceive, and cheat, as well within the limits of
the New York Hotel, as they formerly did
in the saloons of the Astor House in 1910 -
We say again, who will take bet of one, two,
or three hundred dollars, that Horace Greeley
and the Fourierite wings, won't cheat Mr.. Clay
in lS4S, as they did in lS40!

Col. BURNETT AND THE New YORK VoLUN-
rEERs.-The manner in which Col. Burnett, of
the New York Volunteers, disposed of the money
voted for the benefit of those volunteers, and
the additional sum contributed by our citizens
for the same praiseworthy object, has been the
theme of much discussion, and there have not
been persons wanting TO charge that it was dis
posed of improperly. la accordance with the
prayer of petition requesting an investigation
into the matter, the Common Council appointed
a committee to look into it., and the result
is that Col. Burnett has not only expended lu-
and properly the whole Of that mo-
new, and accounted, by the production of vouch
ers and witnesses for his payments, but has ac-
tualy expended, IN addition thereto, consider
able sum from his private purse. The report of
the two committees Of the Common Council

WASHINGTON, March 6, 1848
The Senate remained in Executive Session to-
day until o'clock. The debate was more per-
tinent to the issue than it has been heretofore.
An attempt was made to take the question this
evening, but the Senate adjourned.

days ago, made a great noise. as if we had taken

SUSPENSION OF THE ITALIAN OPERA.-Fashion
able society, and particularly the Opera subscri-
bling portion of it, has been thrown into re-
markable state of CONSERVATION by the an
nouncement that the Italian Opera is to be sus.
pended here for some weeks, in order TO give
the people of Philadelphia the best operas which
we have had here. According to the terms of
subscription, only two.thirds Of the nights sub.
scribed for have been given, and about a third
remains yet due to the subscribers. Notwith-
standing the announcement that the suspension
is to be only for two three weeks, it is noised
abroad, and generally believed, that it will be a
permanent break up. If it should prove to be so,
there will be a great deal said about the conduc.
of the managers, and particularly upon the poll
cy of that secret committee which has "the
power behind the throne, greater than the throne
itself" Certain parties, as it appears, will pro-
badly obtain all that is due to them; but others
rightful claims.
The Opera House is advertised to be let for
concerts, balls, and reunions |; but who would
go there to a concert, so far out OF the way, and
in the regions of fashionable society?

The PoPE's LErTER-THE IRISH PRELATss.-
This document has created great deal of noise
and excitement among the political priests of
Ireland. The advice it contains to all the pre-
lates and priests to attend to their spiritual du.
ties, and not mix themselves up with politics
and worldly affairs, is one of the severest blows
which the religious agitators of Ireland have yet
met with. Such advice was once needed little in
this city, when a certain prelate threw off his
holy garments, and came out as politician,
and made speeches to the Irish voters previous to
an election.
We trust the political preates and priests of
the Catholic church in this country, will consider
the Pope's recent letter to the Irish priests as
being equally addressed to them. 1t is good, and
suitable for both countries.
