WHIG STATB COTIRMMON.41 We are authorized, says the State Journal, by a majority of the State Central Commit* tee, to call a Convention of the Whigs of the State for the purpose of selecting delegates to a National Convention, and to form an elec toral ticket. The VVhigs of the different counties in the Slate are hereby requested to send as many delegates to the State Cowen tion, which will assemble in this city on Wed nesday, the 12th dsy of next January, as they miy deem proper. That day has beeu selected instead of the 16th, (the time at which our State conventions have heretofore been held) as the 16th comes on Sunday, and because it is not probable the Legislature wi!1 last longer than the 17ih of January.

£MAKES OF ONGRESS.—According to the Correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot, under date of November 1st, the subject most dis* cussed in Wsshington at the present time is, the organization of the Wbig Douse of Representatives. The Speakership and Clerk* ship are the all-engrossing topics. Among the names mentioned for Speaker, ts that of Hon. R. VV. THOMPSON, of Indians and we have no doubt, should he be elected to preside over the deliberations of the House of Representatives, he will disc barge the duties of his station with honor to himself and to his State. |!*be Correspondent of tjie says:

That Mr. W IKTHBOP, Mr. INTOW, or Mr. THOXPSON, of Indiana, will be the VVhig Speaker, there is very little doubt.ij When the Whig*shall have arrived they will meet nnd interchange opinion*, and agree upon a candidate—and that candidate will, no doubt, recujve every Whig vpie, and be elected Speaker. will be no lime for the Whig members to act against each other, or to suffer any local or sectional question to divide and distract them. A good, capable and sound man who is a true VVhig, will be Speaker.

AT^MORAS.—The MuUmoras Flag, of the 16th ull., states "As an evidence of tho progress of Civilization and refinement in Mntamorss, we note the nppenrance in the streets of a first claw omnibus—a tip top, out-and-out Broadway bon ton sflair. It creates quite nn excitement among the Mexicans, nnd they are asking—"what's to come next?*' The omnibus sports the name of Harry Drees," nn enterprising citizen, who imported it and designs it for the convenience of per. sons going to and from the steamboat tending." li--

ISHOP O MDBRDONK.—The New Yorii Commercial Advertiser says: "We learn that the House of Dishops, before its rising, rent a reply to liishop OnJerdonk, on the subject of his memorial, of which the joint committee on the New York resolutions took no notice in their report, answering the argument as to the

TRIBUTE OF GRATITUDE FROM IRELAND. We have •freaky stated that Capt.

It is handsomely written out on a roll of paper, and embellished st the top on one side with the Beg of the United Sla'ee, and onths other with the British Use The seal of the onrporstkm attests the authenticity ol the signatures. The roll is enclosed in a small neat mahogany box, wi*h the following inscription upon a metallic

TO TBE FSCSIDSKT OF TBS UKITED STATES. This e'oau^nt address breathes the gratitjudeand spirit oftlW Irish people:

To the President the U. of Ameriea

Sta—We. the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses ot Cork, in Couucil assembled, desire moat respectfully, in behalf of uur fellow-citizens, to express our heartfelt gratitude to yon. sir. the head of the United States Government, and through you to ha* legislature, and also to her great and generous people.

In this warm and earnest record of onr thankfulness, it would be out of place to disco* the causes of our national poverty, restricting the great mass of the Irish people for subsistence to one article of food, which, though valuable in manr particulars, is in these courtfries the lowest clan of diet, and consequently subjects the whole of the poorer population to constant risk of sesreity, or even fsmine. should a partial or general failure of that one crop, the potato, occur.

The immoderately cold and (unless summer of 1845 wns followed by a deficient potato harvest but in 1846 the visitation waa nniversal.and its awful conse* nuences are still pressing severely on our community. Fsmioe hronaht disease private employment for the industrious clarses was greatly diminished public em-

Gen. Patterson was to lease for the interior about the 23d ult. By this arrival we have very tsrtf%*«iat news from the city of Mexico, in tho form of »p extra, issued by tho Genius of Liberty, on 'tip 1#h of

Dr. Gafven led the city of Mexitm on the Qeitte, and on tba. Utb^JBi o'clock, f, hi entnrod ^usmantja.^Jhere he learned that the force of Gen,, Lsne had entered fhortly before, sod so gudden vnd un* expected was his arrival that Santa Anns bad barely time to get away by another quarler of the town. The Amerieans ^aptuved two pieces of artillory belonging «n the force of Gen Santa Anne, which the latter in bin hurry had not time to remove and also took two prisoners, Col. Vega and the son oflturbide.

Santa Anns, after leaving Guamentis, which he did at tho head of 1,000 horse, was reinforced by 1,500 men of the command of Gen. Reyes and both remained in the neigh, borhood of Guamantla till Gen. Lane's departure, after which this town was again taken possession of by Gene. Santa Anna and Reyes, who, following up'he rearguard of the America a, killed seventy .men, principally tne« briated stragglers, and took twenty prisoners. The Mexicans hsd two pieces of artillery with them, ono brass twelve pounder, and the other sixteen of thessmo metal.

Gen. Ron sallied out of Puebln at the head of a pretty considerable force, and was awaiting at the Pinal the approach of Genera I Lane, whose flank and rear the Mexicans are reported to hnve been inceesanily hsrassing. But we know and we are confident that, though the Mexicans should muster a force fourfold the number of that which it is reported they have, yet Gen. Lane, the Boena Vista hero, will extricate himself with honor nnd with glory from their midst, and will form junc» tion with his General, unscathed by the ordeal of passing through thb soldiers of Santa Anna and Reyes.

The decree br which it wai ordained that Penny Penn should take charge of the supreme power, in conjunction with two aaaoci* atee, has been repealed, nnd Santa Aona has again been cnlt*d upon to assume the reins of government, (if it onn be called one.) nnd the command of the army.

Gen. Paredea is in Tolancingo, endeavoring, nnd with some tuccess, it appears, to establish his monarchical aystem. He has of late reeeived some very important converts to his po'itical principles.

Gen. Valencia is at his hacienda, passing his limo sway as agreeably as he can, and taking no part in the national affairs. We suppose he is only abiding his time^ i«!

Gen. Bravo is in the city of Mexico, quiet, and on parole, fc'.'i. xnn- a*, The other leading men end Generals have gone, for the most part, to Cuernavaca, in the terre caiente.

The semblance of the Mexican Government met, according to appointment, nt Queretaro, on the 5th ult., but there not being anything like a quorum present, nothing was done.

PeaCels as far Off as ever the feelings of the people are said to be most strenuously opposed to any compromise with the North Americans. In fact, the hostility which ex* ists ugainst us rn the interior towns, cities, and villages, is reported to be of the most bitter kind.

The same extra of the Genius of Liberty contains, in Spanish, a circular to thedifferent Governors of the Mexican States* issued by the President, Sen. Penn Pena, declaring the line of policy he shall poraue. and exorting them to support him in carryiog on the Government. He speaks of factions existing against him, who dispute his constitutional right to hold the reins of Government, and laments thesinking fortunes of his country. The President seems to have the most gloomy forebodings. ^Perbnps,*' says he, "this is the last attempt at Government that ever will be made in our unfortunate country."

Accompanying this circulsr of the Mex* ican President is ooe issued to the Governors of the Mexican States, by the Mexican Minis* ter Interior and Exterinr Relations. Don Luis de la Rosa, giving more detail the views and wixhes of the President, and enjoy* ing. in the present hour of trouble, the utmost harmony of action.

Mtxtco, Sept. 28.

$eh. Sdott/'Viih Mr. Trist and his Staff, have removed from the Pslace to a residence in a more retired and quiet part of the city, where he is, nn doubt, free from the incessant annoyances to which he was subject in the Palace and it is only now. by a strict guard at the door, that the populace are prevented from harassing him during the whole day.-'* Every Greattr, Grtartrtu and Grtaterile, that hss km a horse, an ass, an ox or a cow. a hog or a chicken, is daily seeking an opportunity to see the Commander-in-Chief, to know if they will not be remunerated fbr them. Some state that the Mexican army destroyed their property, but as the Americans drove the Mexicsns awsr, they think we ought to assume all thi* responsibilities. They have heard so much of the liberality ofthe A merles ns that ihey think they have nothing to! do but to make out and nreeent their accounts.--One fellow had the Impudence, a day or two since, to apply for indemnity fbr losses sustained during tha street fight, under the following circumstances: When the Amerieans entered the town, some tell or twelve men were posted on the »op of his boose, and wore firing indiscriminately into our ranks a small detachment was sent to dislodge them, which oooid only be done by forcing the doors of the house and ascending through the interior as soon as the detachment accomplished their tssk. and cleared ill the boildinga inihevicinity, they returned to the eovmnand, leaving lb* door* of alt the boildinga fsom whence tha firing had proceeded tn bo dosed or re* locked by the )»roprietor», or whoever might tale the trouble to do It but it appeared as soon as oar troops left the neighborhood, the hperm entered tip building and robbed of its content® and for

be iodemoifiod as he suted. if the Americans bad not entered tbe building to drift fhe

people away who were firing from the top, would not have been plundered. The fellow waa inforitysdlhat he might consider himaelf very foriuiillt that his head had not already lnokedj|yoepi the hfUjIfcjnd tips |pk furtbic noM«n oflbi cate, it woulf ^e to g^ve hiijfthat oaptidcration Miteb. his conduct merited So '1 ®J#ry pef»mBp0fag d&fie^Pes, who.^they bad their dues, would already have received three feet of rope.

The suits of rodms which bar ladyship, poona Sennra, bad the honor of filling, are now occupied %f the tJeneral's Staff, which, no doubt, cpotrihutes to vender their duties more agreeable then for some weeks previous. 8everai other rooms are occupied by different officers of tbo Gen* eral's Staff, but all tho troops have been re* moved.

TO COMMODORE DE KAY,

Cotriminder of the United Si&ltt Frigate Macedonian.

SIR: It is with the highest pleasure and satisfaction that we, the Lord Provnat of the city of Glasgow, and other members of the Glasgow section of the Central Board of Management of the Fund for the relief of the destitute inhabitants of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, avail ourselves of your arrival in the Clyde, in command of the Frigate Macedonian, with further supply of provisions for our diatreseed fellow countrymen, to convey to you, and through yoa to thecitizeas of the United States, whom you represent, our own, and our fellow.cftizens, thanks and gratitude for this additions! proof of the sympathy and benevolence of the American people. It would be difficult, indeed, torus to find words sufficiently adequate to express our admiration of the conduct of the American Nation in coming forward in so prompt, generous and philanthropic a manner as they did, on the occasion of the severe distress which fell during the last rear, upon our countrymen in the Highlands and Islands, bat we doubt not that the same benevolent and Christian spirit which led to the sending of ship load after ship load of supplies to our starving population, will readily excuse any insufficient acknowledgement on our part We can however assure you, that we have fully appreciated the munificent donations which have been put at our disposal by the citizens of the United States, and that the recollection ol these will not lade from oar memories and we ran with confidence aver, from the memories of the poor but high-minded snd grateful people lor whose relief they were applied.

By meansof these donationa. not only has immediate aid been given to multitudes who might otherwise have been left unprovided for, and feelings of deep gratitude excited, but more: the cltitena of ths United -States hive practically taught a grand lesson of holy charity and love, and shown our countrymen that though removed by distance, they are remembered by them with affection and as Brothers of the Great Family of Mankind. That the attachment existing between our two nations, and thus by the generosity and kindness of yotirs, to nohly snd warmly cherished, may con'inue to endure for all asea to come, is our warmest desire snd prayer. To tbe Government of lhe United Slates, in aiding so Williriglv the effort* ot yourself and yonv conntrymen, by allowing one of their splendid frigates to convey apirt of the supplies to us, we feel thst our ,best thanks ar« due.
