' [From the New York Plebeian.) ilighly..important °from tlketri. tish Fund Holders, By one of those queer accidents which sometimes occur,_ a curious correspon dence has beeddropped out of the mail bag. There are some secret of a po litical character whiCh we-apprehend were never intended for publication in the Plebeian; but these epistolary effu sions are such precious Morceaux, that we cannot refrain from giving them Pub licity. We do not vouch for their au thenticitY—the ;reader however will judge for himself. • LONDON, July Ist, 1844. , To Messrs, B.—, B.—, & co. Your atithOrized agents from The National Democratic Whig Clay Club," ha3e been in London for some weeks. Every attention has been shown to them. They have visited the Towe i r, tlit Zoological. Garden and Tom Thumb saw the Queen take a walk with Prinde Albert, and the Prince of Wales had - la little hoop. They had the honor, like wise, to pull off their hats to the King of Saxony, as he went . to the Club House; if they had been detained one moment longer 'at Barrings; these gen tlemen might have returned to the Uni ted States without this to boast of. =Ela m business. Representing as we do, the Britishltond Holders, we feel bound to "act in this delicate matter with the greatest caution. The character and respectability of the American gentle men delegated, no doubt is the best that could be selected. and their propositions were listened to with attention and well weighed by us, and finally have been acceded to upon certain- conditions. which it becomes my duty now to in form you. The delay upon our part arose from some preliminary steps as a precautionary measure, absolutely ne cessary to be taken to quiet the fears of some of our capitalists and bond hol ders, who have been severely bitten- in I your Bank transactions. Those mea sures of precaution are merely to be certain that the money expended out of that fund shall be appropriated to the legitimate- purpose for which it was ' raised, and to none other to wit : to aid the election of a Whig President, who wilt,strenuously oppose the annexation of Texas to the United States, and ad vocate the dissemption of the State Debts.- The title ofyour party, Democratic Whig," has given scme trouble, for many here are not as well acquainted with you as we are, and - with some dif ficulty we explained to the suspicious that it was all polititical gammon, a mere cloak to ccrver,the old blue light Federalists, who at present are quoted at i a discount; that your party had as little of the Democracy in its composi tion as the , Queen'a 'household;-that you were in reality made up of specu lators, Abolitionists, Scotch weavers, with a strong sprinkle of honest men, duped into the belief that they are pat riotic. -I have the pleasure to say that these fears upon that point, have been entirely banished.. Another very great difficulty in thepriy of negotiation was, that when yoult into power, a high protective Tariff would be a cardinal measure with your administration—as many of our capitalists and bond hold ers are manufacturers, they kicked hard against it. But we soon convinced them of that's being another gammon of the same kidney with the former. Mr. Clay's speeches in the South happily came to hand, and were conclusive up on that point, for we discovered no difference between his declaration at Raleigh and the other fellows letter. As'Jor placing four millions in the hands of your clubs and their agents, I . have most unequivocally to say to you it cannot be. We have much at stake' in this matter. What guaranty have we that it would not be divided amongst a few demagogues or leading partisans. Rememberyour Bank operations. We have appointed and delegated authorii- - ed British paid agents, under the di rection of paid counsel, whose fidelity in such matters have been tried here in Many a parliamentary canvass, who will see that the money is expended under' their own • eyes for the legitimate par. poses to wit, the purchasing of corrupt politicians and presses, hiring of effi cient writers, the bribiry of Governors and members of your State Legislature's, and paying trm spepses of your travel , iv, orators. There are already in the United States some` Mr or 'five hundred indi viduals of true fidelity to Great. Britain, with whom we hold constant commu nication : trnt l you will receive by the . next steamer a fresh supply'of men of great experi encc and practical knowl- Regardless or benimciatitin Irons 'any Quarter. -0 P . _ OAT It tußvussat 9 43 . 21&13Y051D @ cum:l l 7 9 24, s§l§2ll42munm ,fit 9 118664 i edge, 'who will hei' stationed at the fol lowing-points. -, They will present you their certificates. !a - which-is affixed the seal of- the lord Mayor 'of London : One at-Chatlestotii S.

'•Washington, 'to -corre spond with a very distinguished indi vidual in'Boston ; Ten in Philadelphia; two to act as paymasters: and eight to see rair play there. A-great many ex. cellent and smart men of that place have volunteered their services ; orone ortwo have•been well naid for services ren- defied at Harrisbutg, and will still be continued in the service, that place be- ing the head-quarters ofWhiggery, and some of the leaders particularly expert in all matters of financiering, the num- ber you will concur with us, is not too great. In New York we - have three au thorized agents long established, who are . paid by the,.year in t ,quarterly pay ments, in whom we place implicit con fidence—though.the bit - purchase of a newspaper there was Useless and extra vagant. He had guaranteed to come out about the 29th of July, and I have no doubt, will fulfill his, promise. His squibs therefore against British influ ence and his articles in favor of Texas are all garinmou. We, who understood the thing, fancied we saw the editor whilst penning them, with his quill in .one hand and thumb of the other to the point of his nose, the fingers perform ing the while curious evolutions by way of a pleasing accompaniment. Now the amount of the bonds ihthe hands of British holders is two hundred millions,. or thereabouts. There is very little prospects of our realizing any por tion of this immense capital—more es pecially as many of your States are ut terly bankrupt and some have even re pudiated—unless your General Govern ment assumes the debts of the States ; that your party in ease of election, guarantees to - do. The British bond holders are perfectly satisfied, to take your piiblic laud as a collateral securi ty for the payment of the principal.— That great national domain can , easilv, by distribution among the States, be transferred to us by the 'several States as a collateral security, or by the way, of.a trust mortgage for the payment of principal & interest. That is all settled and agreed' npon—we therefore freely dedicate four millions of dollars to be expended in the United ,States for the purpose aforesaid, and though a large sum of money, yet a, perfect trifle in comparison with the great ulterior bene - fit to be derived by the expenditure.— This course might be objectionable in Europe, amon,git old and well estab lished'moriarchies, but we hold a re public to be no goiernment at all, a presumptuous experiment, the sooner overthrown the better; any mode, therefore, by which that laudable re sult can be obtained is considered praise worthy. We have instructed our agents in no instance to waste this fund by an at tempt to bribe a democrat. You may, by possibility find one or two, perhaps three or more as Was the case in Penn sylvania, but it resulted in no good. The men lost their influence, and did us wore harm titan good. Those foolish and infatuated people, the Democrats, have notions at total va riance with our policy, and still vener ate that horrid old man who prevented Packenham from getting possession of New Orleans in 1815, and who still promulgatei his opinions froni his Her mitage, with all _the enthusiasm and spirit of youth. Those fellows have a sort of—l don't know how to describe it better than by calling it a sort ranz de vaches" feel ing—which prompts them to prefer theit coqntry's glory and honor to their own private emolument. What an un accountable fanaticism. Let those wretcheitalone--go at the right fel lows. There are many reasons superadded to those already mentioned, why weqn this side of the water should wish suc cess to your—what do you call.your selves ? Whig 'Republican National Democratic party Radicalism • is gaining ground very fast. in . Europe.. The,-United States is a.sstiniinga powerful station among the nations of the -earth. So long as we can control-you with our money there is ho fear, but with the Democrats we never cartexpect any sympathy. F.ng land has declared it to 'be her policy [see Lord Aberdeen's pill] to put down negro slavery in all parts of the,world .—lndia excepted. Now if these Polk and Dallas should be eleCted. possibly', as - a retaliatory ineasure,_ -America 'may declare it to be`lier'poliey` tci put down all over the world, all Kings, Dukes, Lords, Marquises,,and such like., A. war between 'a gro wing e and Powerful 'Repiibliei and our qncierit institutions 'might be a serious one. We once had our streets and alleys crowded with the beggarly ; nobility of France, and one son of , n ,king cleaned boots and taught sehobl ; not to men tion the quantities of heads of Dukes and Lords that were kicked about like turnips. What has happened once may happen again, and the scene ,might 'be changed from France to England. The bare thought of Prince Albert's being a barber to gain his livelihood makes one shudder. Besides our nobility could not work at an honest calling. Take away from them their parks and palaces, and divide them among the people, and the poor creatures would 'actually starve. We have no,word to express our un qualified delight at the riots it Phila delphia, especially when the Irish are implicated. We derive great pleasure from the perusal of those scenes. Go on, it pleases us. The mail is closing. In haste. your serv't. ASHLAND ASHBURTON. 14INDOIC, July; 1844. To. Messrs. -11\ & Co.

A young Yankee who had formed an attachment for the daughter. of a rich old farmer, and after agreeing- with his bonnie lassie," went to the old fellow to ask consent, and during the ceremo ny, which was an awkward one for Janathan, he whittled away at a stick. The old man watched the movements of the knife, at the same time continued to talk of the prospects of his future son-in-law,.as he supposed, until the stick was dwindled down to nought.— He then spoke as follow's, s! you have a fine property. you have steady habits, good enough looking, but , you can't have my daughter ! . Had 'you 'made something, no matter what,'f that stick you have whittled away; you, could have had her.

Yon inform me that a certain Mr. Van Wagener of Poughkeepsie; in the course of his remarks beforefa political meeting at your place, stated that in one of my speeches before the Senate in 1840.'1 had said :—Mechanics and workingmen in ,this country had too much yages—that they had meat for breakfast, meat for dinner and meat for supper—that in Russia the same class, only had meat once in two or three months, and that' they were fat; Sleek., and happy—that mechanics in this country were. as well fed as gentlemen, and even had servants, workiu,g girls, in their families.” If you had not informed me that these remarks seemed to be received with great approbation by the meeting, I should not have supposed that an audi ence could be found in the United States who would for a moment believe' that any Senator, not a candidate for Bed lam, could have justly exposed himself . .to the contempt and abhorrence of all mankind by uttering such wicked non, sense. I need scarcely Way that I never used such expressions, in public or in private, nor any other language-bearing the most remote resemblance to them.

Perhaps there are no means of iniproy-- ingland, within the control of thelar mer of limited resonues,,more effective and 'economical than the turning in of green crops—andthe,published accounts of the results of this practice are' sitch as to justify the recommendation of it. to all farmers who are- compelled to adopt the cheapest and most available: methods of- improving or keeping up the. fertility of 'their soils. Various crops have. been recommended for the purpose of turning ih •green peas. oats, • corn, • rye, clover, buck Wheat; &c.-=- Clover,so far as its enriching properties are concerned, ranks rmong the .very best crops for this 'purpose. The, hea viest crop of rye we ever Saw, (upwards of forty bushels to the aere).was raised on land where a.growth of clover had been turned in.
