WEDNESDAY MORNING. NOV. rs, 1855.

In late Washington letter published In the New York
Herald we find the following extract:
The report Of the Secretary Of the Treasury has already
been submitted the cabinet 1t OF unusual length, and
embraces vast amount of statistical information 1t is
master production the subject Of finances
and Is attributed Mr. Guthrie but TO the OF the
Hon. Peter G. Washington, who understands the financial
system OF better than other man now
living"
The above statement in regard to the authorship Of the
forthcoming report has not the slightest foundation in
truth. To those who acquainted with the character
and capacity Of the accomplished Secretary of the Treasury
a more formal contradiction is wholly unnecessary.

The freee convention which has been in session for
some time at Topeka Kansas has brought its abors
close The following is synopsis of the results of their
deliberations:
They adopted constitution preparatory to admission,
as State into the Union The provision to slavery is
not entirely acceptable to the New York Tribune. We
quote from that journal:
The question OF paramount interest," readers
well aware that of slavery and regret that
the action the convention this subject exactly
the friends of impartial freedom had right expect
from body elected for the avowed purpose of
ing free State. After adopting bill of rights which de-
clares that slavery shall not exist in this State the
venon not only recognise the existence of slavery in the
Territory, but permit its continuance till the 4th of july
1857 thus exhibiting striking disregard for the elfev
dent truth proclaimed by very respectable body of
of july 176 and tender ocitude for the interests
the border ruans which the circumstances of the
seem hardly to have demanded their hands, However,
shall heartily rejoice to Kansas free State after july
1857, if it cannot be made so before"
The same journal gives the following general summary
of the contents of the constitutions

1LL-MANNERED CLERGYMEN.--We find in
one ofou exchanges the following extract of a
letter from Utica to the Christian Ambassador,
written soon after the close of the late meet
ing in that place of the American Board of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions, whose
members, together with the hosts of the clergy
men in attendance, were, as usual, quartered
upon the hospitality Of the citizens ofthe city:
tThe worlds people have fund of amuse-
ment arising from the various letters received
from some of the diyines who contemplated
visiting our city at the time of the meeting.
One says that he is about to lead to the altar
ia young lady, and desires that he may be
accommodated with two rooms and aprivate
parlor; appropriated exclusively to themselves.
Another expresses a hope that he may be
provided with home during his stay, where
there are marriageable young ladies, having
the faculty of union for life strongly developed.
Another writes to the gentleman with whom
he is to stay, that he is in the habit of bathing
and if he has not baths in his house
already, he will please provide them forthwith.
To this modest proposition, his Utica host
respectfully returned for answer, that he had
no baths in his house, but would give him
enough to eat and drink, and if he was in such
ia condition as to require such frequent ablutions
an occasional walk to the Mohawk river might
be safely recommended
