GENTLEMEN: In your paper of the 9TH instant appear

York Commercial Advertiser" of the dinner given by
tain citizens Of New York to the officers of the recently
returned Arctic Expedition The writer of that article
the of his description says An object Of much
interest exhibited at the lower end of the II
was the American flag which Commodore WILKES carri-
ed in his Antarctic Expedition and Lieut. De HAVEN in
his Arctic. 1t bore inscription to the effect that it
was at the service of any who would carry it further
NV object is simply to state that that flag worn at
the peak of the schooner Flying Fish," New York

little preparation she did receive the better to enable her

A LETTER FROM THE DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
FROM UTAH TERRITORY.
UNITED STATES HOTEL, WASHINGTON,

UNITED STATES HOTEL, WASHINGTON.
DECEMBER /, 1851.
Messrs GALES SEAroN: Upon my arrival in this city
met by statements in circulation injurious to the
character of my constituents and of Governor YoUN
Utah Territory and after general inquiry which have
taken the liberty to extend to the President find them
without other authority than letter which appeared in
your columns, stated to be from ga judicial officer and
dated Great Salt Lake City, September 20, 1851.
The statements Of this letter essentially incorrect
It's accusations mainly based upon aspersons alleged
have been cast upon the memory of the late President
Taylor by Governor Young the occasion of the cele
braon of the anniversary of the Oath of July At that
celebration your supposed letter writer not present
having arrived till time after the organization of
the Territory But present, and able to inform
you upon my responsibility, that the Governors
marks upon that occasion included structures whatever
upon Gen. Taylors character public services, in
fact any aluson him at ALL that remember The
celebration made the opportunity as it always has
been the patriotic people of Great Salt Lake City, for
repeatedly renewed expressions of their enthusiastic att
taclment to their beloved country.
When left Utah, nineteen days after the date of the
letter to which you publication peace and quiet
vailed every where and unbroken harmony and good feel
ing between the officers Of the Government and the people
Of the Territory The pacific character of people, and
the paterna relations which they cultivate towards each
other had indeed yet left the courts without entry
for their dockets but Governor Young had cheerfuy
ceded the request of the Judges and Secretary ax
his name to petition to Congress, Of which am the
bearer praying for augmentation of the salaries of the
Territorial officers account Of the expense of living
under California prices.
Under these circumstances and in view of the fact that
communications have been received from the Salt Lake
since these charges made be expected for
some time to come, ask that you will be good enough to
request suspension of public opinion upon the charges
which you have given circulation until further and
authentic intelligence sreceivedfrom Utah Territory
have the honor to be your obedient servant,

Delegate from Utah.

New York BANQUET TO CAPT. SANDS AND HIS
OFFIcERs.-A complimentary dinner was given at
the Astor House on Saturday evening by the Corpo-
ration of the city Of New York, to Capt SANDS and
and the other officers of the United States frigate
st. Lawrence. The dinner was superb. In the alb
sence of the Mayor, Alderman STURTEyANT pre-
sided, After the removal of the cloth, the chair
man very fecitously introduced the first regular
toast " The President of the United States" which
responded to briefly by Mr.. Collector Max
WELL. The second toast, "Our guests, Commander
SANDS and the Officers of the Frigate st. Law
renee" of course brought Capt. SANDS to his feet.
He was very imperfectly heard, even by those who
sat near him. Modesty and warm-heartedness, how
ever, were blended in his remarks. The Army"
was responded to by Col GARDNER, who concluded
with a sentiment the repetition Of which was en-
enthusiastically called for: " Our Republican No
bility those distinguished in all the useful occupa
tons of life" Further toasts were responded to by
Captain BREEZE, of the Navy, OGDEN HOFFMAN,

Washington correspondent of the Journal of
Commerce gives, as one of the latest runners of the
day, that Mr.. FILLMORE has, in reply to some
friends who kindly offered their services, distinctly
stated that he would not be candidate for the next
Presidency. We beg leave (says the Philadelphia
Inquirer) todiscredt this story. Mr.. Fillmore, we
incline to the opinion, will neither seek nor decline
the Office. If however, the nomination should be
rendered him by the Wing National Convention, it
is not at all likely that he would refuse it. The
true condition of the is probably stated in the
Buffalo Commercial, thus: q Mr. Fillmore is in the
hands of the Wing party. If the National Conven-
ton shall determine that his nomination will ensure
success to the Wing party, he will feel bound to
quiesce."
And so with every other prominent Wing in the
country Mr.. WEBSTER has already been nominat-
ed in Massachusetts; Gen. ScoTT is frequently and
warmly spoken of in various quarters while HENRY
CLAY has troops of friends. The claims and merits
of all these gentlemen, and perhaps of one or two
more, will be submitted to the National Conven-
ton, and the decision of that body will be regarded
as final and binding upon every true-hearted Wing in
the land. One thing is certain, the Office is of SO
high character that the purest and Hottest ambi-
ton may egitimatey aspire to its honors, and with
so many distinguished men in the Wing party, the
is not likely to go begging

THE CASE OF THE CLIPPER SHIP CHALLENGE.


The report given by telegraph of the difficulty between
Captain WATERMAN, of the Challenge and his crew. said
to have been gross exaggeraon 1t does not appear,
from the California papers, that any body murdered
by the captain and his mate, the telegraph alleged
while the following extract from letter from the consig
of the vessel at San Francisco under date of October
3ls gives different version of the whole affair They say:
The Challenge arrived here on the Doth instant in
beautiful order, her creE in rather bad plight having
suffered from dysenter by which six died. and three
having been lost from the mizzen yard in gale. Some
of the sailors away before the ship alongside the
wharf and related such shocking stories of the
in which they had been treated that great excitement
was created amongst the boatmen and sailors on the
wharf The moment the ship arrived in dock her decks
were covered with mob shouting for the captain and
mate to lynch them and had the latter fallen their
hands twoud have been impossible have rescued them;
but fortunately they escaped 1t appears that the
intention of the seize the ship off Ro murder the
captain and mate give her in command one of their
number and rowing This attempted about twelve
o'clock in the day !: the mate knocked down and
stabbed by the crew. but rescued by the captain
who succeeded in bringing them to duty"
This view of the matter changes its aspect altogether
and shows that Captain Waterman, in any seventies he
may have practised upon his crew. only acting in self
defence
