Summary.


The long agony Is over-the fate OF the treaty
is at length decided. After season of intense
suffering, this precious production of iegitimate
diplomacy has received the adoption of the
American Senate. The treaty tcith Merico has
been ratified by majority Of four to one For
the interesting particulars attending its ratifca-
ton, we refer our readers to the telegraphc
dispatches below.
OtheIbusinessof Congress, yesterday, amount
ed to nothing calculated to inspire veneration for
the COLLECTED wisdom of the nation" On the
contrary, scene occurred in the House, between
Mr.. HARRISON, of Georgia, and Mr.. Jones, of
Tennessee, of the most disgraceful character
aud one which should arouse the indignation of
every friend of order and decorum. The ad-
justment of this disreputable affair occupied the
whole attention of the House, to the utter dis
regard of the public business. But thus we 60
the ratification of treaty of peace IN one cham
Der, and the shameful personal squabbies in The
other, make up another day in our legislative
history
The proceedings of the Legislature will be
found as entertaining as ever.

FASHIONABLE SwlNDLING.-A correspondent
writes to us, that in his opinion, the suspension
ofthe Opera is little else but swindle commit
ted upon the subscribers whe have paid their
money, and are deprived of what they bought
at the par ticular season ofthe year during which
they had engaged Its services.
Truly, this suspension seems something like
swindling; but fashionable swindling ought by
no means to be put upon apar with common, low
vulgar swinding, committed in the bye streets,
and involving few dollars and cents. We
think that swinding, as relating to the Opera,
ought to be placed in the same category as
swindling in Wall street. Now, the man who
swindles and cheats in Wall street, is considered
to be completely experienced and talented
fellow, provided he succeeds. All depends upon
success. The reputation for genius, in every
thing, entirely depends upon success; and in this
point of view, we will not say, as yet, that the
suspension the Opera is fashionable swindling.
We will wait until we see the issue.

FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS, HERE AND ELSE
wHERE.-The success Of the grand fancy ball
given at the Astor House Theatre, here, is begin
ming to produce sensation in other great cities.
We understand that splendid fancy ball is
preparing to be given at Boston, about the
middle of next month, and all the highest
and most distinguished classes of society
are going to patronize 1t. They will endea-
vor, no doubt, to surpass the beauty and
splendor of the late ball got up in this city;
and we are not sure but that they will do it, We
have also received an intimation that a similar
fancy ball is preparing in Philadelphia. No doubt
many of our New York fashlonables will avail
themselves of this opportunity to visit Boston or
Philadelphia, in their fancy dresses, that they
may show themselves off in those attitudes. At
the late fancy ball here, there were several fair
Philadelphians present, who sustained their par
tlcular characters remarkably well. At the next
fancy ball here there will be more visters fror,
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and even Wash
ington.

oui MURRAY csYnyrAiws The newspapers

are beginning to talk smartly and 10 make many
comments upon the rumors current about our
military chleitains now in Mexico, particularly
those who seem TO be engaged in qusrrelling
among themselves. We refer to Generals Scott,
Pillow, Worth, and few other minor officers.
Each day brings out something or other dis
closing the difficulties between these distin-
gushed men; and every day these disclosures
tend to prove, that though all these Generals are
capital fighters, they bad writer's and cad poll
ticians. The Worth correspondence has shown up
Gen. Worth in no elevated light. Gen. SCOTS
correspondence is we'll known, and some of his
singular orders equally well, in fact, too well,
known. The last letter from General Pillow,
slngularly enough, is the best letter proceeding
from that quarter. We rather think that poor
Pillow has been moderated, and ridicued too
much, probably arising from the unhappy cir
cumstanee Of his being pet of Mr.. Polk, the
President.
There will be a terrible controversy yet spring.
ing out of these military quarrels and the
newspapers, far and near, will probably take
sides, violently and bitterly, according to per-
sonal and political prejudices, without regard to
even.handed justice dealt out to all parties. We
see symptoms of the Courier f. Enquirer begin
ming to show a decided and bitter feeling, par
ticularly in one direction.
All these things, however, will have one uni
form result upon the American people. 1t will
tend to impair the high opinion they were be-
ginning 20 entertain of the good sense of mill
tary men-always excepting General Taylor
The important question whether a military
chleftain can be man of common sense, is yet
to be settled.
