quality of a statesman.—(Hear, bear.) e have, t.,ikt len Representatives, a grand mission to fulfil—to found Rcpublic in the interest of all, and' a just and firm Go /erhnlent, which shall be animated by a sincere desire of progress, without being either reactionary or U to p ian. Let us be the men of the country, not the men party; %Rd, with the aid of God, sv , l ill at least d,> vo,i, if wt , cannot achieve great things."—(Loud applause.) The Meniteur contains a financial statement of +he condition of the Treasury at the close of the present par, giving the details of the portfolio, from which it is made to appear that on the Ist day of the coming Year the Government will have extraoidinary re sources available amounting to 221 millions, of which the following are the items : Loan 64,000,000 f..

Senor SEIJAS Lozano was the Ministe rial candidate, Senor Rios HOSAS the candidate of the Moderado opposition, and General SIN MIGUEL th e candidate of the Progressistas. At the close of the scrutiny, the numbers were de clared to be as follows : Senor Seijas Lozana 98 Senor Rios Rosas General San Miguel .. 28 The other votes being thrown away, Senor SEIJAS Was consequently elected.

PRUSSIA. Advices have been received from Berlin to the 18th. Upwards of 3,000 persons have been deported from Berlin since the commencement of the state of siege. The elections are to take place simultaneously on the 22d January. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. Advices to the 16th have been received from Vienna, but they are devoid of interest. Accounts from Tran sylvania state that the Magyars have defeated the Valaques in three successive battles. The Valaques left 800 dead on the field. ITALY. = - The programme of the GIOBERTI Ministry (the new Ministry of CHARLES ALBERT) has been pub lished. It declares that Italian independence cannot be achieved without war. Accounts from Rome are to the 14th. The city continued tranquil. The Roman Ministry have published a solemn protest against the interference of the French Republic in Roman affairs. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE —t FRIDAY.) We have again to report the arrival of a very moderate supply of English Wheat for our market, coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample. Monday's supply having been pretty well cleared off, the show here this morning was limited. Selected qualities were in moderate request, at full prices; but all other kinds of English Wheat were neglected, although we cannot call them cheaper. Upwards of 8,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to hand. Millers purchased the finest samples at full rates of currency. The value of the middling and inferior kinds was nominally unaltered. We have had a good supply of both English and foreign Barley this week. That article was, therefore, on the decline in price, most of the maltsters being disposed to wait the fur ther arrivals of foreign expected here next week. No pro gress could be made in the sale for. Malt without giving way in price. Even then, no great amount of business could be transacted. Oats were held at full prices ; but all other ar ticles of grain, including Flour and Meal, were neglected. No Market will be held here on Monday next. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Oats.

The supply of Beasts on offer at to-day's market was tolerably good as to number , but deficient in general quality. Al the attendance of buyers was small, the Beef trade was in a very depressed state, at barely Monday's reduction in the quotations—those for the best Scots not exceeding 4s to 4s 2d per 81b. With Sheep we were scantily supplied. On the whole the Mutton trade ruled steady at full rates of currency. The primest old Downs sold without difficulty, at from 4s 11)d to 5s per 81b. Calves were i n short su pp ly, and ready inquiry, at fully the late improvement in value. The sale for Pigs was firm at our quotations. Mach Cows were dull, at from 141 to 181 each, including their small calf. Per sibs. to Mut the offal. S. d. to s. d. s. d. to s. d. Inferior Beasts... 3 2 3 6 Second qual.

TESTIMONIAL TO THE POLICE.—The grand jury Con cluded their labours this morning, and were discharged by Mr. commissioner Bullock with the thanks of the county for their services. Before they were discharged the grand jury handed to the Court the following highly complimentary testimonial to the ability, ingenuity, and perseverance of the police force generally in the detection of offenders against the law : " We, the foreman and gentlemen comprising the grand jury whose names are underwritten, having patiently inves tigated the numerous cases brought before us at the present session of over and terminer held at the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, feel it our duty to express our high sense of the good conduct of the police force, and we cannot but admire their intelligence and ingenuity in detecting, tracing out, and bringing to punishment, a numerous class of offenders against the laws. We furthermore consider that in determina tion of character in capturing the most hardened ruffians they display a courage which reflects the greatest honour upon them. " London, 22d December, 1848. " Wm. Mulins, foreman; W. Harrison, Robert Moseley, Wm. Hart, Charles Hart, J. Jellis, J. Dyer, J. C. Mason, Arthur Mann, J. S. Gullins, A. D. Russell, John Maddison." The Court was occupied the greater part of the morning with the- trial of a man, named Henry Allen, charged with a disgusting offence, the details of which are totally unfit for publication. The jury convicted the prisoner, but Mr. Baron RoLFE respited his judgment till next session. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) MANSLAUGHTER.— George Worsley was indicted with the manslaughter of his own mother, an old woman eighty-five years of age, on the 13th of the present month. Mr. ROBINSON stated the case to the jury. It appeared that on Monday, the 11th of December, the prisoxer, who resided at Westham, was heard quarelling with his mother, and he was observed to take her up in his arms and throw her violently down twice, declaring with an oath that he would kill her. From the bruises she received she lin gered till Wednesday morning, when she died. Several witnesses were called, who clearly proved the charge against the prisoner. The COMMON SERGEANT summed up. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the COMMON SERGEANT sentenced him to seven years' transportation. NEW COURT. The present session of the Central Criminal Court termi nated this morning. There were no cases of interest tried in this Court during the course of the morning. TRURO.—No other carriidate has yet appeared to oppose Mr. Humphry Willya►ns. Many persons have been named, but none have dared to enter on a con test with a certainty of defeat. Mr. Montagu Smith is the only party now thought of by the Tories, but it is not supposed that be will be made a tool in their hands. THE SUN, LONDON, :viO.I;tEIT atid COMMERCIAL NEWF.-- CI t Y, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet, but firm. Sales 5,000 bales.—Rail eay Shares were supported. The further American accounts delivered to-day induce ns to give an opinion of our own upon the subject of the tariff of 1846, and the pronability of all alterai ion therein. It is highly gratifying to have the testimony of the President whose term of office is about to expire as to the beneficial working of that measure, because it strengthens the hands of the free-traders on this side of the Atlantic, and we do hope that the editor of the New York Herald, from whose journal we yesterday gave an extract, does not represent the opinions of the country at large. The system of moderate duties cannot but be beneficial generally, and it is useless of any Government t.) bolster up manufactures, and force them before their time, and to the detriment of con sumers. The following is a statement relative to emigration from Canada to the United States :—A Buffalo journal mentioned a few days since that several hundred French Canadians had lately passed through that city, emigrating to the south and west. We have heard of numerous bands above and below Quebec. The Journal de Quebec, of Saturday, states, on what it considers good information, that upwards of a thou sand persons have left the parish of St. Cyprian (district of Montreal), for Chicago ; that no less than two hundred per sons have left the parish of Cap St. Ignace (district of Quebec) for the same destination; and two of these, after selling their lands at a loss, have departed for the plains of Illinois, the one carrying with him 1,000/., the ether 800/. Mr. Blaiklock, surveyor, lately returned from Lake St. John, about a hundred miles north of Quebec, has brought with him a small quantity of plums planted about 170 years ago by the Jesuits, who had formed an establishment there, some traces of which are still extant. They had about 300 acres of land under cultivati , m at the entrance of the river Ashubniashmar on the south side of the Lake. The steamer Great Western has arrived from the West Indies, but the letters are not yet in town. She brings a large amount in specie, with a remittance for the dividends, but the general accounts, as given in the American papers, and of the same date as the Great N.l , estern will furnish, are not favourable ; a movement on behalf of Santa Anna being expected. The Funds have been very firm this morning, although business has not been active. We shall probably have a dull market for the next two or three days. Consols for the opening have been 88% to 88%. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been 88 1 ,E %. Exchequer-bills realise 395. to 445. premium. Bank stock is 189 to 191. A large general business has been done in Foreign Stocks, and generally at enhanced values. Mexican Bowls have touched 22 3 / and 23. Peruvian are still being forced up, the prices being 50 to 51%. The rumour is, that purchases are being made en account of the Lima Government. Grenada Stock has been quoted 13 1 / g to 13%. Equador Bonds have been marked 2 %; Chilian Three per Cents. 47 ; and Brazilian Bonds, 75,6 to 76. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 13% to 13% ; and the Three per Cents. 26 3 / to 27%. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been at 25. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have realissed 49 to 49%. Railway Shares have been steady, and generally at rather fuller prices. South Eastern are an exception, and there is some dulness in the French lines. ONE P MOF :iRITIBII FUND Ss• O'CLOCX. Bank Stock l9l 189 3 e Cent. Reduced Anna BB 81 1 ,4% New 3 1 4 per Cent.

FRIDAY EVENINP, DECEMBER 22, 1848.7 COURT CIRCULAR . . WINDSOR, THURSDAY. The Queen and Prince Albert arrived at the Castle at twenty minutes before two o'clock this afternoon, in a carriage and four from the Slough station of the Great Western Railway. Her Majesty and his Royal High Dees was accompanied from her Majesty's marine resi dt nce, Osborne, Isle of Wight, by their Royal High nesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, the Princess Alice, the Princess Helena, and the Princess Louisa. The royal suite consis'ed of the Viscountess Canning, Lady in waiting; Lady Caroline Somers Cocks, Maid of Honour in waiting; Major- General Wemyss, Equerry in Waiting; and Colonel Bouverie, Equerry in waiting to his Royal Highness. A detachment of the 2d Life Guards formed the es cort of the august party from the Slough station to the Castle. The Queen and Prince Albert were received at the grand entrance by Lord Camoys. Lord in waiting; the Master of the Household, and the Hon. and Rev. C. Leslie Courtenay. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Baroness de Speth, and Sir George Couper, returned to-day to her residence, Frogmore House, from a visit to her Majesty the Queen Dowager, at the Priory, Stanmore. Lady Fanny Howard, Lady in Waiting on her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, arrived at Frogmore House to-day. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. We gave in the whole of our impression yesterday a summary of the news brought by the Cambria. We have since received our files, with a copy of the Pre sident's Message. The Message was presented to Congress on the sth inst., and is of unusual length. In reprinting it, we have omitted a few prragraphs, chiefly of repetition, and have indicated the various subjects enlarged on, by headings. The document commences by reference to THE POLITICAL CONVULSIONS OF THE EUROPEAN CON TINENT. In reviewing the great events of the past year, and contrasting the agitated and disturbed state of other countries with our own tranquil and happy condition, we may congratulate ourselves that we are the most favoured people on the face of the earth. While the people of other countries are struggling to es tablish free institutions , under which man may govern himself, we are in the actual enjoyment of them—a rich inheritance from our fathers. While enlightened na tions of Europe are convulsed and distracted by civil war or intestine strife, we settle all our political con troversies by the peaceful exercise of the rights of freemen at the ballot-box. The great republican maxim, so deeply en graven on the hearts of our people, that the will of the ma jority, constitutionally expressed, shall prevail, is our sure safeguard against force and violence. It is a subject of just pride, that our fame and character as a nation continue ra pidly to advance in the estimation of the civilized world. To our wise and free institutions it is to be attributed , that while other nations have achieved glory at the price of the suffering, distress, and impoverishment of their people, we have won our honourable position in the midst of an uninter rupted prosperity, and of an increasing individual comfort and happiness. lam happy to inform you that our relations with all nations are friendly. Advantageous treaties of commerce have been concluded within the last four years with New Granada, Peru, the Two Sicilies, Belgium, Hanover, Oldenburg, and Mecklenburgh-Schwerin. Pursuing our example, the restrictive system of Great Bri tain, our principal foreign customer, has been relaxed, a more liberal commercial policy has been adopted by other enlight ened nations, and our trade has been greatly enlarged and extended. Our country stands higher in the respect of the world than at any former period. To continue to occupy this proud position, it isonly necessary to preserve peace, and faithfully adhere to the great and fundamental principle of our foreign policy, of non-interference in the domestic con cerns of other nations. We recognise the rights which we enjoy ourselves, to change and reform their political institu tions according to their own will and pleasure. Hence we do not look behind existing governments capable of main taining their own authority. We recognise all such actual governments, not only from the dictates of truly policy, but from s sacred regard for the independence of nations. While this is our settled policy, it does not follow that we can ever be indifferent spectators of the progress of liberal principles. The Government and people of the United States hailed with enthusiasm and delight the establishment of the French Republic, as we now h ail the efforts in progress to unite the States of Germany in a confederation similar in many respects to our own Federal Union. If the great and enlightened German States, occupying as they do a central and commanding position in Eur o p e, shall succeed in esta blishing such a confederated g overnment, securing at the same time to the citizens of each state local governments adapted to the peculiar condition of each, with unrestricted trade and intercourse with each other, it will be an important era in the history of human events. Whilst it will consoli date and strengthen the power of Germany, it must essen tially promote the cause of peace, commerce, civilization, and constitutional liberty throughout the world. With all the Governments on this continent our relations, it is believed, are now on a more friendly and satisfactory footing than they have ever been at any former period. THE WAR WITS MEXICO. Since the exchange of ratifications of the treaty of peace with Mexico, our intercourse with the Government of that Republic has been of the most friendly character. The Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of Mexico has been received and accredited ; and • diplomatic representative from Mexico of similar rank has been received and accredited by this Government. The amicable relations between the two countries, which had been suspended, have been happily restored, and are des tined I trust, to be long preserved. The two republics, both situated on this continent , and with coterminous territories, have every motive of sympathy and of interest to bind them together in perpetual amity. One of the most important results of the war into which we were recently forced with a neighbouring nation, is the demonstaation it has afforded of the military strength of our country. Before the late war with Mexico, European and other foreign powers entertained imperfect and erroneous views of our physical strength as a nation, and of our ability to prosecute war, and especially a war waged out of our own country. They saw that our standing army, on the peace establishment, did not exceed ten thousand men. Accus tomed themselves to maintain, in peace, large standing armies, for the protection of thrones, against their own sub jects, as well as against foreign enemies, they had not con ceived that it was possible for a nation without such an army, well disciplined and of long service, to wage war suc cessfully. They held in low repute our militia, and were far from regarding them as an effective force, unless it might be for the temporary defensive operations when invaded on our own soil. The events of the late war with Mexico have not only undeceived them, but have removed erroneous impres sions which prevailed to some extent even among a portion of our own countrymen. That war has demonstrated that upon the breaking out of hostilities not anticipated, and for which no previous preparation had been made, a volunteer I army of citizen soldiers, equal to veteran troops, and in num bers equal to any emergency, can, in a short period, be brought into the field. Unlike what would have occurred in any other country, we were under no necessity of resorting to drafts or conscriptions. On the contrary, such was the number of volunteers who patriotically tendered their services, that the chief difficulty was in making selections and determining who should be disappointed and compelled to remain at home. Our citizen-soldiers are unlike those drawn from the population of any other coun try. They are composed indiscriminately of all professions and pursuits; of farmers, lawyers, physicians, merchants, manufacturers, mechanics and labourers; and this, not only among the officers, but the private soldiers in the ranks. Our citizen-soldiers are unlike those of any other country in other respects. They are armed, and have been accustomed, from their youth up, to handle and use firearms ; and a large proportion of them, especially in the western and more newly settled states, are expert marksmen. They are men who have a repution to maintain at home by their good conduct in the field. They are intelligent, and there is an individuality of character which is found in the ranks of no other army. In battle, each private man, as well as every officer, fights not only for his country, but for glory and distinction among his fellow-citizens when he shall re turn to civil life. After some further details respecting the war, the Presi dent says— The war with Mexico has thus fully developed the capacity of Republican Governments to prosecute successfully ajust and necessary foreign war with all the vigour usually attributed to more arbitrary forms of government. It has been usual for writers on public law to impute to republics a want of hat unity, concentration of purpose, and vigour of execution, which are generally admitted to belong to the munarchicel and aristocratic forms; and this feature of popular govern ment has been supposed to display itself more particularly in the conduct of a war carried on in an enemy's territory. The war with Great Britain, in 1812, was to a great extent confined within our own limits, and shed but little light on this subject. But the war which we have just closed by an honourable peace evinces beyond all doubt that a popular representative Government is equal to any emergency which is likely to arise in the affairs of a nation. The war with Mexico has developed most strikingly and conspicuously another feature in our institutions. It is , that without cost to the Governments or danger to our liberties , we have, in the bosom of our society of freemen, available in a just and necessary war, virtually a standing army of two millions of armed citizen soldiers, such as fought at the bat tles of Mexico. But our military strength does not consist alone in our ca pacity for extended and successful operations on land. The navy is an important arm of the national defence. If the ser vices of the navy were not so brilliant as those of the army in the late war with Mexico, it was because they had no enemy to meet on their own element. While the army had oppor tunity of performing more conspicuous service, the navy largely participated in the conduct of the war. Both branches of the service performed their whole duty to the country. For the able and gallant services of the officers and men of the navy—acting independen tl y as well as in co-operation with our troops—in the c on q uest of the Californias, the cap ture of Vera Cruz, and the seizure and occupation of other important positions on the Gulph and Pacific coasts, the highest praise is due. Their vigilance, energy, and skill ren dered the most effective service in excluding munitions of war and other supplies from the enemy, while they seured a safe entrance for abundan t supplies for our own army. c Our extended commerce was nowhere interrupted; and for this immunity from the evils of war, the country is indebted to the navy. High praise is also given to the officers of the several executive bure MICW aux. THE TERRITORIZS. The area of these several territories (Texas, New Mexico, and California), according to a report carefully prepared by the Commissioner of the General Land Office, from the most authentic information in his possession, and which is here with transmitted, contains one million one hundred and ninety-three thousand and sixty-one square miles, or seven hundred and sixty-three million five hundred and fifty-nine thousand and forty acres; while the area of the remaining twenty-nine States , and the territor y not y et organized . into states, east of the Rocky M ountains, contains two million r fifty nine thousand five hundred and thirteen square miles, o thirteen hundred and eighteen million one hundred and twentv - s ix thousand and fifty-eight acres . These estimates show that the territories recently acquired, and over which our exclusive jurisdiction and dominion have been extended, constitute a country more than half as large as all that which was held by the United States before their acquisition. The i M ts is c s e i n s s t i r p e p . i , s l o v i l t a h t el t y h e the addition d frontier o f f the our c a o t late natergyu, .i t s x!loow s, on U n ited States are now estimated to be nearly as large as the nth ly e whole of Europe.

Extending nearly ten degrees of latitude along the Pacific, and embracing the only safe surd co . mmodious harbours on that coast for many hundred miles, with a temperate climate, and au extensive interior of fertile lands, it is scarcely pos. sible to estimate its wealth until it shall be brought under the government of our laws, and its resources fully deve loped. From its position, it must command the rich com merce of China, of Asia, of the islands of the Pacific, of Wes tern Mexico, of Central America, the South American States, and of the Russian possessions bordering on that ocean. A great emporium will doubtless speedily arise on the Cali tornian coast, which may be destined to rival in im portance New Orleans itself. The depot of the vast commerc e which must exist on the Pacific will pro bably be at some point on the bay of San Francisco, and will occupy the same relation to the whole western coast of that ocean as New Orleans does to the valley of the Mis sissippi and the Gulph of Mexico. To this depot our nume rous whale ships will resort with their cargoes, to tr a d e , refit, and obtain supplies. This, of itself, will largely cor.tri! bute to build up a city, which would soon become the cen tre of a great and rapidly increasing commerce. Situated on a safe harbour, sufficiently capacious for all the navies as well as the marine of the world, and convenient t o excel lent timber fo r ship building, owned by the United St .tes, it must become our great western naval depot. It was known that mines of the precious metals existed to a considerable extent in California at th e ti me o f its acquisi tion. Recent discoveries render it probable that these mines are more extensive and valuable than was anticipated. The accounts of the . abundance of gold in that territory are of such an extraordinary character as would scarcely command - 10% Mr. Yates had an interview with Earl Grey yester day, at the Colonial-office.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY .—The Great Western steamer, with the West Indian and Mexican mails, has arrived at Southampton. Her dates are—Vera Cruz, Nov. 15th; Tampico, 13th; Havannah, 26th; Honduras, 6th; Jamaica, Llst She brings 37.313 dolls. for account of Mexican bond holders, and 2,000,000 dolls. on merchants' accounts. The commercial inteliigence brought by her from the West India islands is not very important. Sugar was de clining in value at Jamaica. Mexico was tolerably tranquil, and business matters improving. WEST RIDING ELECTION. TO THE. EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sint,—l think the result of the poll in the West Rid ing clearly proves the necessity of electing more than two Representatives for such a constuuency. According to the sheriff's declaration, nearly 12,000 electors voted against Mr. Denison, and yet this gentleman is sent to Parliament to represent their opinions, or, more properly speaking, to misrepresent them. Such a numerous dis trict should have at least four or six Members; and, had it been so in the present case, those 12,000 voters would have had an opportunity of choosing a man partaking a little of their own sentiments and ideas.

C. Seions), will be opened to the public to-morrow, at the Panorama, Leicester-square. We were this morning favoured with a private view of this exquisite work of art, which is surpassingly beautiful. Mr. Burford has here had the advantage of the Italian sky which throws such a deli cious hue over every object, and he has reproduced the delightful atmospheric effects with a truthfulness which leaves nothing to desire. The ruined city appears in the fore ground backed up in the distance by the Appenines, while Mount Vesuvius seems louring over the de voted city in all the sublime majesty of irresistible power. The localities of Pompeii are here all traced out, and so com plete is the illusion that it requires no great stretch of fancy to imagine that one is really walking in the " City disin terred." All the admirers of Bulwer's " Last Days of Pom peii" should make a pilgrimage to Leicester-square. As a work of art this is, perhaps, the finest, certainly the most classical, painting that Mr. Burford has yet produced. The long promised consolidation of the Boards of Excise and Stamps and Taxes into one Board of Internal Revenue has just been completed; thou g h an Act of Par liament will be required to carry out the new arrangement. The Commissioners will be reduced from twelve to seven, though for the present, and till a vacancy occurs, there will be eight. It is unnecessary to observe that money will be saved by the change. As soon as the arrangements can be effected there will be a very considerable diminution in the staff of officers throughout the country.— Times.

Orange flags and joy bells also had their part in the demonstration ; and Roaring Meg shook her crazy sides with a few dis charges—the " boys" being now wont to handle her very gingerly, in consequence of a mishap which oc curred to some shoeless and unskilled gunners six or seven yi ars ago. " Altogether," a correspondent informs us, " the affair was as sorry a spectacle as could be de sired to give the most rampant Orangeman a fit of the blues."—Dublin Pilot. DARING BURGLARY IN NORTHAMPTONSHIRE Early on the morning of the 17th inst., five fellows, with their faces painted, broke into the lone farm-house of Mr. Thomas Lovell, of Catehanger, Wood-end, North amptonshire, and in the most daring manner stripped it of all the portable articles of value they could put their hands on. Three of the burglars had guns, and the other two had bludgeons. The barking of a dog in the house awoke Mr. Lovell, who, havi ng tears that thieves were in the house, alarmed his wife, a little girl, and a young man, who composed his establishment, and called on all to dress themselves directly. Thi s they proceed to do , but era they had finished, the villains came up stairs, and demanded the money that was i n t he place. They made the mistress unlock her boxes. The owner had but 4s. 6d. in the house. At this they were disappointed. He bad that day . sold a load of wheat and taken the money, but had paid it away again, Af ter g etting together the silver articles, linen, wearing apparel, a gun, a watch, wine, brandy, hams, &c., to carry away, they regaled themselves in the kitchen; and remained there nearly three hours. During this time the inmates were made, by threats, passive spectators. Th e robbers, out of bra • vado, fired their guns through the ceiling of the room, and, on leaving with their plunder, left the worthy man's ale tap running, so as to let his beer run away into the cellar. They did not leave a change of linen for the occupiers of the house. During Mr. Lovell's absence from home last year a similar sweeping robbery was committed. ANTI-WATER MONOPOLY LEAGUE.—Last evening a meeting was held at the Literary,lnstitution, Leicester square, convened by the Anti-Water Monopoly League, to take into consideration the means of obtaining . a purer, cheaper, and more abundant supply of water in the metropolis. Mr. lorry, barrister, was voted to the chair, and stated that there was on the chalk stratum beneath the metropolis sufficient water to supply twenty millions of people, pure and wholesome, and as it was an all important question th e supply of water, to promote the health and comfort of the people, h . e considered that all classes should co-operate to obtain it as cheap and plentitul as they could. A resolution ;was passed con demning the present supply as dear, scarce, and inter mittent, and the cause of uncleanness and disease amongst the population. It was also resolved that the Government be empowered to purchase the rights of the ex i s ting water companies, with a view to a better supply of the metropolis.

BOREALIS--Lest night (Sunday) these aerial phenomena again appeared. They were first visi ble about eight o'clock in the north-east as a mass of silver light, and then shooting upwards in streamers. Between ten and eleven o'clock masses of light appeared also in the south-west, and a band proceeded to cress the heavens, joining the streamers in the opposite quar ters. A little before eleven the nestern sky became illuminated with a lurid red, which, after a little, brok , up into wavy streamers, shooting upwards to the zsuitb. The sky was cloudy, which obscured the aurora ita some other parts of the heavens, for, through the breaks in the masses of cloud, a clear light, as from the moon at full, was visible. The lights were not so brilliant as on some recent occasions, nor so generally diffused, and by half-past eleven they had all passed away ,—Glasgotv Paper. 20% I recommend that surveyor-generals' offices be authorised to be estabh,h2d in New Mexico and California, aid pro- Tision made for surveying and bringing the public lands into market at the earliest practical period. In disposing of these lands, I recommend that the right of pre-emption be secured, and liberal grants made to the early emigrants who have settled, or may settle, upon them. It will be important to exten d our revenue laws over these territories, and especially over C a lif orn i a , at an early period. There is already a c , nsiderable commerce with California; and until ports of entry shall be established, and collectors appointed, no revenue can be received. The apprehensions which were entertained by some of our statesmen, in the earlier periods of the Government, that our system was incapable of operating with sufficient energy and success over largely extented territorial limits, and tnat if this were attempted, it would fall to pieces by its weakness, have been dissipated by our experience. So far from enter taining apprehensions of the safety of our system by the ex tension of our territory, the belief is confidently entertained that each new state gives strength and an additional gua rantee for the preservation of the Union itself. In pursuance of the provions of the thirteenth article of the treaty of peace, friendship, limits, and settlement, with the R-public of Mexico, and of the Act of July the 29th, 1848, claims of our citizens which had been " already liqui dated and decided against the Mexican Republic," amounting with the interest thereon, to two millions twenty-three thou sand eight hundred and thirty two dollars and fifty-one cents., have been liquidated and paid. There remain to be paid of these claims, seventy-four thousand one hundred and ninety-two dollars and twenty-six cents. Congress at its last session having made no provision for executing the fifteenth article of the treaty, by which the United States assume to make satisfaction for the " uuliqui dated claims " of our citizens against Mexico, to an " amount not exceeding three and a quarter millions of dol lars," the subject is again recommended to your favourable consideration. The exchange of ratifications of the treaty with Mexico took place on the 30th of May, 1848. Within one year from that time the commissioner and surveyor which each Govern ment stipulates to appoint are required to meet "at the port of San Diego, and proceed to run and rhark the said boundary in its whole course to the mouth of the Rio Bravo del Norte." It will be seen from this provision, that the period within which a commissioner and surveyor of the respective Governments are to meet at San Diego will expire on the 1849.

Measures were adopted at the earliest practicabl period to organize the "Territorial Government of Oregon," as au thorised by the Act of the 14th of August last. The governor and marshal of the territory, accompanied by a small military escort, left the frontier of Missouri in September last, and took the southern route, by way of Santa Fe and the river in iosn,feutel fully ,f ad C alifornia, uvriseve with sosfeit t o the g t r b et hea great rm intention por o destination. ta u ce f proceeding of hs early rlgy t v h e e r n n c or arrivalwas e in the country, and is consequently believed he may reach Oregon in the latter part of the present month, or early in the next. The other officers for the ten itory have proceeded by sea. THE UNITED STATES belief were they not corroborated by the authentic reports of offic. rs in the public service, who have visited the mineral district, and derived the facts which they detail from personal observation. Reluctant to credit the reports in general circulation as to the quantity of gold, the officer commanding our forces in California visited the mine ral district in July last, for the purpose of obtaining accurate information on the subject. When he visited the country, there were about four thousand persons engaged in collecting gold. There is every reason to believe that the number of persons so employed has since been augmented. The explo rations already made warrant the belief that the supply is very large, and that gold is found at various places in an extensive district of the country. The effects produced by the discovery of these rich mine ral deposits, and the success which has attended the labours of those which have resorted to them, have produced a sur prising change in the state of affairs in California. Labour commands a most exorbitant price, and all other pursuits but that of searching for the precious metals are abandoned. Nearly the whole of the male population of the country have gone to the gold district. Ships arriving on the coast are deserted by their crews, and their voyages supended for want of sailors. Our commanding officer there entertains appre hensions that soldiers cannot be kept in the public service without a large increase of pay. Desertions in his command have become frequent, aid he recommends that those who shall withstand the strong temptation, and remain faithful, should be rewarded. This abundance of gold, and the all-engrossing pursuit of it, have already caused in California an unprecedented rise in the price of the necessaries of life. 1 That we may the more speedily and fully avail ourselves of the undeveloped wealth of these mines, it is deemed of vast importance that a branch of the Mint of the United States be authorised to be established, at your present session in California. Among ether signal advantages which would ' result from such an establishment would be that of raising the gold to its par value in that territory. A branch mint of the United States at the great commercial depot on the west coast would convert into our own coin not only the gold derived from our own rich mines, but also the bullion and specie which our commerce may bring from the whole west coast of Central and South America. The west coast of America and the adjacent interior embrace the richest and best mines of Mexico, New Granada, Central America, Chili, and Peru. The bullion and specie drawn from these countries, and especially from those of Western Mexico and Peru, to an amount in value of many mil lions of dollars, are now annually diverted and carried by the ships of Great Britain to her own ports, to be re coined or used to sustain her national bank, and thus con tribute to increase her ability to command so much of the commerce of the world. If a branch mint be established at the great commercial point upon that coast a vast amount of bullion and specie would flow thither to be recoined, and pass thence to New Orleans, New York, and other Atlantic cities. The amount of our constitutional currency at home would be greatly increased, while its circulation would be promoted. It is well known to our merchants trading to China and the west coast of America, that great inconvenience and loss are experienced from the fact that our coins are not current at their par value in those countries. The powers of Europe, far removed from the west coast of America by the Atlantic Ocean which intervenes, and by a tedious and dangerous navigation around the southern cape of the continent of America, can never successfully compete with the United States in the rich and extensive commerce which is opened to us at so much less cost by the acquisition e a of California.
