IMPORTANT CONSIDER ATIoN.-A Washington
correspondent Of the New York Herald thus
contradicts several important rumors which
have been extensively circulated among the
papers, first originating we believe in that pa
per.
1t has been stated that Mr.. Sierra has applied
on behalf of Yucatan to be annexed to the U.
States; and further, that he has protestedagainst
the treaty. He has done neither. No official
proposition for annexation has ever come from
Yucatan. No proposition, official or. other
wise, has come through Sierra. Mr.. Koolera
did mention unoficialIy and casually, that he
wished such measure could be comprised, but
the suggestion never received encouragement
from this Government. There is no founda-
ton for the statement that Mr.. Sierra has pro-
tested against the ratification or acceptance o.
the treaty with Mexico. s.

RECONCILIATION OF Mr.. CLAY AND Mr.. GAL
LAr1N.-We find the following in the N. Y.
Express:
Mr.. Clay called upon Albert Gallatin at his
residence, having previously sent friend to
ascertain if such visit would be agreeable
Mr.. Clay felt it his duty thus to express wish
to renew his acquaintance with an ancient col
league in the public service, Notwithstanding
the alienation naturally created by some harsh
remarks that Mr. Clay made concerning him in
the Senate, many years since, during the heat
of deba e-and now to renew this acquaintance
more than ever. because from their respective
ages this was probably the last time that thev
should meet this side of the grave. a venera-
bic age is admonishing both of them that their
time on earth is not for many years. Mr.. Clay,
with the generous enthusiasm inherent in his
very nature, resolved, it seems, SO soon as he
arrived in the city, to discharge, as one of his
earliest and most pleasing duties, that of an
apology TO Mr.. Gallatin for the severity of re-
marks provoked during the unguarded heat OF
warm debate.
Wehave no right to speak of the interesting
details of the delightful reunion of old friends
who had for while been unhapplly estranged
but the Imagination can easily draw the glo-
rious picture oftwo sages and renowned states
men thus coming together, the one frankly to
confessand to ask pardon for an error 1t was
indeed spec tace worthy of the gods-and nc
man candescribe, even if Imagination can pic
ture it.

IMMENSELY OF THE FuNERAL.-An idea ofthe
immensely ofthe ADAMS funeral demonstration
aa New York, may be judged of by the follow
ing from the Sun,
There could not have been less than $50, 900
people, from the Battery to the Park. 1t took
just two hours and ten minutes to pass the cor
ner of Maiden Lane and Boadwa,, and calcu-
lating the pace at two miles per hour, the flu.
neral would cover over four miles of ground
AT the Park the crowd became concentrated,
and the appearance ofthe hushed assembly, du-
ring the recital of the prayer of the dead, wa:
awe-inspiring.

THE TREATY.-The National Intelligencer
remarks in relation to the Mexican projet
Though the Treaty is thus ratified. the in
junction ofsecresy has not been removed, eth
er from the Treaty or the proceedings under it.,
because being incomplete until it has the sane
ton also of the Government of Mexico, the
usage of Nations requires that the particulars
of the Treaty should not be divulged. But no
one doubts that the main features of the Urea
ty are substantially suchas we have heretofore
stated. | rs sa..s
at isquite necessary. however, to be borne
in mind, that not only is the ratification by
Mexico wanting to give effect to the Treaty
but amentlmentshave been made to it (not af=
fecting either the Peace, the Cession of Ferri-

which require the assent of Mexico before the
Treaty can become binding upon the United

8lR ADAMS LETTERS TO HIS SoN.-The New
York Tribune has commenced series ofletters
OF JoHS Quincy ADAMS, on the Bible and its
sachings, which were written twenty five
years ago and addressed to his Son. The first of
the series we give to-day, and shall endeavor
to find room for them as they appear They
are nine in number, and we believe they will
be read with deep interest By men ofall callings.
The Tribune says: "The profound and various
learning of Mr.. Adams, his capacious intellect,
his freedom from any imputation of bigotry or
narrowness, and his conspicuous integrity of
character and purity of life, naturally invest
these letters with the majesty and persuasive
power ofdeparted greatness and goodness, and
we trust they will be pernsed by thousands of
the young and unlearned in the Evidences of
Christianity with earnest attention and endur-
ing profit The letters are nine in number, and
will not be deemed too long by those who can
didly peruse them. They were written in
the prime of Mr.. Adams life, when his mind
was freshly stored with the fruits of his earlier
wears of study and investigation"
