Hughes, Kearsey, and Co., 17, Bucklersbury. On the tat of November last this Company opened a subter ranean line of telegraph from their offices, Cornhill, to Dover, where the wires are united to those of the submarine telegraph between Dover and Calais, thus insuring a direct communication (without any break) between London and the Continent. The Submarine cable to Belgium will be laid down between the South Foreland and Middlekirk (near Ostend) in the ensuing month, when its wires will also be connected with the wires of this Company at Dover; and a large accession of business will thereby be obtained for the European and American Electric Telegraph Company. Tragic arrangements have been made securing the European and American Telegraph Company the exclusive privilege of conveying all messages to and from London and any part of the Continent via France and Belgium. The capital hitherto expended is 50,0001., for which sum the Com pany has obtained an underground line of telegraph between London and Dover, constructed in such an efficient manner that a responsible contractor ht s guaranteed the maintenance of the works for the annual payment of 1001. the cost of obtaining the act of Par - Ail the preliminary expenses, liament and ments for patents, are also included in the above mentioned expenditure. Although this line has teen opened only six weeks, the net returns already sh,w a profit of 5 per cent. upon the capital expended . ami this satisfacaory result has induced the shareholders, at a General Meeting held on the Bth itistant, unanimously to resolve that this subterranean system of telegraph should be extende to d to d the to s and of Bi r mingham, Manchester , and Liverpool, so RS affor direct unbroken intercourse between their several exchanges and the Con tinent. Contracts have been mad e to carry out these lines insulated in gutta percha, and laid underground, for a sum of 50,000/. In order to provide the necessary capital for this purpose, ten thousand shares of 51. each, to be pad up in full, will forthwith be issued : and as the whole expense of the undertaking has been thus clearly defined, no liability can , e incurred by the shareholders be yond the amount of their shares, as the Directors will undertake no new lines, nor enter into any further engagement, without the coneent of the proprietors. Whilst the working expenses of the Company w 11 be but slightly increased by the proposed extension, the business between these main ;arteries of commerce is known to be of a very lucrative de scription, and the ratio of profit on the existing line will be largely augmented. '1 he works to Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham are already in progress. Apia' , cation for area may be made to Messrs.

This light and pleasant Farina is one of the most excellent, nour shing, d restorative remedies, and supersedes, in many cases, all kinds of medl ines.

" For full and detailed information in regard to the ge neral condition of our Indian affairs I respectfully refer you to the report of the Secretary of the Interior and the accompanying documents. "The Senate not having thought proper to ratify the treaties which had been negotiated with the tribes of occupation In dians in California and Oregon, our relations with them have been left in a very unsatisfactory condition. "In other parts of our territory p ar ti cu lar districts of country have been set apart for the exclusive the Indians ; and their right to the la n d s within those limits has been acknowledged and respected. But in Cali fornia and Oregon there has been no recognition by the o f Government of the exclusive right of the Indians to any pare of the country. They are therefore mere tenants-at sufferance, and liable to be driven from place to place, at the,,Vresurtreeatoifes which thewhites. have been rejected proposed tore. medy this evil by allotting to the different tribes districts of country suitable to their habits of life, and sufficient f o r their support. This pmviston, more than any other, it is believed, led to their rejection ; and, as no substitute for it has been adopted by Congress, it has not been deemed advisable to attempt to enter into new treaties of a perma nent character, although no effort has been spared by tem porary arrangements to preserve friendly relations with them. " If it be the desire of Congress to remove them from the country altogether, or to assign to them particular districts more remote from the settlements of the whites, it will be proper to set apart by law the territory which they are to occupy, and to provide the means necessary to remove to it. Justice alike to our citizens and to the Indians requires the prompt action of Congress on this subject. "The amendments proposed by the Senate to the treaties which were negotiated with the Sioux Indians of Minesota have been submitted to the tribes who were parties to them, and have received their assent. A large tract of valuable territory has thus been opened for settlement and cultivation, and all danger of collision with these power ful and warklike bands has been happily removed. " The removal of the remnant of the tribe of Seminole Indians from Florida has long been a cherished object of the Government, and it is one to which my attention has been steadily directed. Admonished by past experience of the difficulty and cost of the attempts to remove them by military force, resort has been had to conciliatory . measures. By the invitation of the Commissioner of In dian Affairs, several of the principal chiefs recently visited Washington, and, while here, acknowledged in writing the obligation of their tribe to remove with the least possible delay. Late advices from the special agent of the Go vernment represents that they adhere to their promise, and that a council of their people has been called to make their preliminary arrangements. A general emigration may, therefore, be confidently expected at an early day. " The report from the General Land-office, shows in creased activity in its operations. The survey of the northern boundary of lowa has been completed with unex ampled dispatch. Within the last year 9,522,953 acres of public land have been surveyed, and 8,032,463 acres brought into market : [PRICE 5D . and to establish the important port of San Juan de Nica ragua under the Government of a civilised power. The pro position in question was assented to by Costa Rica and the Mosquito Indians. It has not proved equally acceptable to Nicaragua, but it is to be hoped that the further negotia tions on that subject which are in train will be carried on in that spirit of conciliation and compromise which ought always to prevail on such occasions, and that they will lead to a satisfactory result. " I have the satisfaction to inform you that the Execu tive Government of Venezuela has acknowledged some claims of citizens of the United States, which have for many years past been urged by our Charge d'Affaires at Caraccas. It is hoped that the same sense of justice will actuate the Congress of that Republic in providing the means for their payment. " The recent revolution in Buenos Ayres and the confe derated States having opened the prospect of an improved state of things in that quarter, the Governments of Great Britain and France determined to negotiate with the chief of the new confederacy for the free access of their commerce to the extensive countries watered by the tributaries of the Plata ; and they gave a friendly notice of this purpose to the United States, that we might, if we thought proper, pursue the same course. In compliance with the invita tion, our Minister at Rio Janeiro and our Chargé d'Affaires at Buenos Ayres have been fully authorised to conclude treaties with the newly-organised Confederation, or the States composing it. The delays which have taken place in the formation of the new Government have as yet pre vented the execution of those instructions • but there is every reason to hope that these vast countries will be eventually opened to our commerce. " A treaty of commerce has been concluded between the United States and the Oriental Republic of the Uruguay, which will be laid before the Senate. Should this conven tion go into operation, it will open to the commercial en terprise of our citizens a country of great extent and unsurpassed in natural resources, but from which foreign nations have hitherto been almost wholly excluded. "The correspondence of the late Secretary of State with the Peruvian Chargé d'Affaires relative to the Lobos Islands was communicated to Congress towards the close of the last session. Since that time, on further investigation of the subject, the doubts which had been entertained of the title of Peru to those islands have been removed ; and I have deemed it just that the temporary wrong which had been unintentionally done her, from want of infbrrnation, should be repaired by an unreserved acknowledgment of her sovereignty. " I have the satisfaction to inform you that the course pursued by Peru has been creditable to the liberality of her Government. Before it was known by her that her title would be acknowledged at Washington, her Minister for Foreign Affairs had authorized our Charge d'Affaires at Lima to announce to the American vessels which had gone to the Lobos for guano that the Peruvian Government was willing to freight them on its own account. This intention has been carried into effect by the Peruvian Minister here, by an arrangement which is believed to be advantageous to the parties in interest. " Our settlements on the shores of the Pacific have already given a great extension, and in some respects a new direction, to our commerce in that ocean. A direct and rapidly-increasing intercourse has sprung up with Eastern Asia. The waters of the Northern Pacific, even into the Arctic Sea, have of late years been frequented by our whalemen. The application of steam to the general purposes of navigation is becoming daily more common, and makes it desirable to obtain fuel and other necessary supplies at convenient points on the route between Asia and our Pacific shores. Our unfortunate countrymen who from time to time suffer shipwreck on the coasts of the eastern seas are entitled to protection. Besides these specific ob jects, the general prosperity of our States on the Pacific requires that an attempt should be made to open the oppo site regions of Asia to a mutually beneficial intercourse. It is obvious that this attempt could be made by no Power to so great advantage as by the United States, whose con stitutional system excludes every idea of distant colonial dependencies. I have accordingly been led to order an appropriate naval force to Japan, under the command of a discreet and intelligent officer of the highest rank known to our service. He is instructed to endeavour to obtain from the Government of that country some relaxa tion of the inhospitable and anti-social system which it has pursued for about two centuries. He has been directed particularly to remonstrate, in the strongest language, agains the cruel treatment to which our shipwrecked ma riners have often been subjected, and to insist that they shall be treated with humanity. He is instructed, how ever, at the same time, to give that Government the amplest assurances that the objects of the United States are such and such only as I have indicated, and that the expedition is friendly and peaceful. Notwithstanding the jealousy with which the Governments of Eastern Asia re gard all overtures from foreigners, I am not without hopes of a beneficial result to the expedition. Should it be crowned with success, the advantage will not be confined to the United States, but, as in the case of China, will be equally enjoyed by all the other maritime Powers. I have much satisfaction in stating that in all the steps prepara tory to this expedition the Government of the United States has been materially aided by the good offices of the King of the Netherlands, the only European Power having any commercial relations with Japan. "In passing from this survey of our foreign relations, I invite the attention of Congress to the condition of that department of the Government to which this branch of the public business is intrusted. Our intercourse with foreign Powers has of late years greatly increased, both in conse quence of our own growth and the introduction of many new States into the family of nations. In this way the department of State has become overburdened. It has, by the recent establishment of the Department of the Interior, been relieved of some portion of the domestic business. If the residue of the business of that kind, such as tho distri bution of Congressional documents, the keeping, publish ing, and distribution of the laws of the United States, the execution of the copyright law, the subject of reprieves and pardons, and some other subjects relating to interior administration, should be transferred from the Depart ment of State, it would unquestionably be for the bene fit of the public service. I would also suggest that the building appropriated to the State Department is not fire proof ; that there is reason to think there are defects in its construction, and that the archives of the Government in charge of the department, with the precious collections of the manuscript papers of Washington, Jefferson, Hamil ton, Madison, and Monroe, are exposed to destruction b y fire. A similar remark may be made of the buildings ap propriated to the war and navy departments. " The condition of the Treasury is exhibited in the an nual report from that department. "The cash receipts into the Treasury for the fiscal year ending the 30th of June last, exclusive of trust funds, were $49,728,386 89e., and the expenditures for the same period, likewise exclusive of trust funds, were $46,007,896 29c.; of which $9,455,815 83c. was on account of the prin cipal and interest of the public debt, including the last in stalment of the indemnity to Mexico, under the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, leaving a balance o f $ 14,632,136 37c. in the Treasury on the Ist day of July last. Since this latter period further purchases of the principal of the pub lic debt have been made to the extent of $2,456,547 49e., and the surplus in the Treasury will continue to be ap plied to that object, whenever the stock can be procured within the limits, as to price, authorised by law. "The value of foreign merchandise imported during the last fiscal year was $207,240,101, and the value of domestic productions exported was $149,861,911, besides $17,204,026 of foreign merchandise exported, making the aggregate of the entire exports $167,065,937 ; exclusive of the above, there was exported $45,507,285 in specie ; and imported from foreign ports $5,262,643. " In my first annual message to Congress I called your attention to what seemed to me some defects in the present tariff, and recommended such modifications as in my judg ment were best adapted to remedy its evils and promote the prosperity of the country. Nothing has since occurred to change my views on this important question. " Without repeating the arguments contained in my former message in favour of discriminating protective duties, I deem it my duty to call your attention to one or two other considerations affecting this subject. The first is, the effect of large importations of foreign goods upon our currency. Most of the gold of California, as fast as it is coined, finds its way directly to Europe in pay ment for goods purchased. In the seco nd p lace, as our manufacturing establishments are broken down by lost ; compe tition with foreigners, the capital invested in them is thousands of honest and industrious citizens are thrown out of a home market for t he sale of his surplu p •of employment, and the fa rmer to that extsentroisdudceeprivledn the third place, the destruction of our manufactures leaves the foreigner without competition in our market, and he consequently raises the price of the article sent here for sale, as is now seen in the increased cost of iron imported from England. The prosperity and wealth of every nation must depend upon its productive industry. The farmer is stimulated to exertion by finding a ready market for his surplus products, and benefited by being able to exchange them, without loss of time or expense of transportation, for the manufactures which his comfort or convenience requires. This is always done to the best advantage where a portion of the community in which he lives is engaged in other pur suits. But most manufactures require an amount of capital and a practical skill which cannot be commanded unless they be protected for a time from ruinous competition from abroad. Hence the necessity of laying those duties upon imported goods which the constitution authorises for re venue, in such a manner as to protect and encourage the labour of our own citizens. Duties, however, should not be fixed at a rate so high as to exclude the foreign article, but should be graduated as to enable the domestic manufac turer fairly to compete with the foreigner in our own markets, and by this competition to reduce the price of the manufactured article to the consumer to the lowest rate at which it can be produced. This policy would place the mechanic by the side of the farmer c reate a mutual inter change of their respective commodities, and thus stimulate the industry . of the whole country, and render us indepen dent of foreign nations for the supplies required by the habits or necessities of the people. " Another question, wholly independent of protection, presents itself, and that is, w h e ther the duties levie d should be upon the value f the article at the place of shipment, or, where it is practicable, a specific duty, grweaidguhatteordmaccording Al tn l ourcludaunttiietsy'are"at paarecseert4iadedtat valo rem. goods atA tchertepoainrtpoefrshciepnmtaegnet hunt bl rY. for the iisnleaviereioen the rice of m . t o h s e t commercial nations have found it indispensa e, e rn th v e duties value in spurposepe c ofpreventing weight or measure as to justify such 1‘ duty. .egis a . 1 l the farrtauicdleanids oPrjsuu:liT'ati°mlnifakor that the revenue officers at the port where the goods are should never encourage dishonesty or crime.

They are, therefore, compelled to resort to very They take the invoice of the im p orter, attested by his oath, the as best evidence of whic h the nature of the case admits. But every one must see that the invoice may be fabricated, and the oath by which it is supported false, by reason of which the dishonest importer pays a part only of the duties which are paid by the honest one, and thus indirectly receives from the Treasury of the United St a tes a reward for his fraud and perjury-. The re ports of the Secretary of the Treasury heretofore made on this subject show conclusively that these frauds have been practised to a great extent. The tendency is to destroy that high moral character for which our merchants have long been distinguished, to defraud the Government of its revenue, to break down the honest importer by a dishonest Acres.

" I commend to your favourable regard the suggestion contained in the report of the Secretary of the Interior, that provision be made by law for the publication and dis tribution, periodically, of an analytical digest of all the patents which have been, or may hereafter be, granted for useful inventions and discoveries, with such descriptions and illustrations as may be necessary to present an intelli gible view of their nature and operation. The cost of such publication could easily be defrayed out of the patent fund, and I am persuaded that it could be applied to no object more acceptable to inventors and beneficial to the public at large. " An appropriation of mow dole. having been made at the last session for the purchase of a suitable site, and for the erection, furnishing, and fitting up of an asylum for the insane of the district of Columbia, and of the army and navy of the United States, the proper measures have been adopted to carry this beneficent purpose into effect. " By the latest advices from the Mexican Boundary Com mission it appears that the survey of the river Gila, from its confluence with the Colorado to its supposed intersec tion with the western line of New Mexico, his been com• pleted. The survey of the Rio Grande has also been finished from the point agreed on by the commissioners as ' the point where it strikes the southern boundary of New Mexico,' to a point 135 miles below Eagle Pass, which is about two-thirds of the distance along the course of the river to its mouth. "The appropriation which was made at the last session of Congress for the continuation of the survey is subject to the following proviso : " ‘ Provided,—That no part of this appropriation shall be used or expended until it shall be made satisfactorily to appear to the President of the United States that the southern boundary of New Mexico is not established by the commissioner and surveyor of the United States further north of the town called ' Paso' than the same is laid down in Disturnell's map, which is added to the treaty.' " My attention was drawn to this subject by a report from the Department of the Interior, which reviewed all the facts of the case, and submitted for my decision the ques tion whether, under existing circumstances, any part of the appropriation could be lawfully used or expended for the further prosecution of the work. After a careful conside ration of the subject, I came to the conclusion that it could not, and so informed the head of that department. Orders were immediately issued by him to the com missioner and surveyor to make no further requisitions on the department, as they could not be paid ; and to discon tinue all operations on the southern line of New Mexico. But, as the department had no exact information as to the amount of provisions and money whichremained unex pended in the hands of the commissioner and surveyor, it was left discretionary with them to continue the survey down the Rio Grande as far as the means at their disposal would enable them, or at once to disband the commission. A special messenger has since arrived from the officer in charge of the survey of the river with information that the funds subject to his control were exhausted, and that the officers and others employed in the service were destitite alike of the means of prosecuting the work and of returning to their homes. "The object of the proviso was, doubtless to arrest the survey of the southern and western lines of New Mexico, in regard to which different opinions have been expres sT:I ; for it is hardly to be sapposedthat there could be any objection il to that part of the line which extends along the channel of the Rio Grande. But the terms of the law are so broad as to forbid the use of any part of the money for the prosecu tion of the work, or even for the payment to the officers and agents of the arrears of pay which aro justly due to them. ' I earnestly invite your prompt attention to this sub ject, and recommend a modification of the terms of the proviso, so as to enable the department to use as much of the appropriation as will be necessary to discharge the ex isting obligations of the Government, and to complete the survey of the Rio Grande to its mouth. " It will also be proper to make further provision by law for the fulfilment of our treaty with Mexico for running and marking the , residue of the boundary line between the two countries. " Permit me to invite your particular attention to the interests of the district of Columbia, which are confided by the constitution to your peculiar care. " Among the measures which seem to me of the greatest importance to its prosperity are the introduction of a co pious supply of water into the city of Washington, and the construction of suitable bridges across the tom the the early part of the present year. " At the last session of Congress an appropriation was made to defray the cost of the survey s necessary for deter mining the best means of affording an unfailing supply o f good and wholesome water.' Some progress has been made in the survey , and , as soon as it is completed, the r esu lt will be laid before you. "Further appropriations will also be necessary f or grading and paving the streets and avenues, and indosing an d embellishing the p ublic g rounds within the city o f Washington. "I commend all these objects, together with the cha ritable institutions of the district, to your favourable re- Bard. " Every effort has been made to protect our frontier, and that of the adjoining Mexican States, from the incur slows of the Indian tribes. Of ab out 11 , 0 00 men of whisk tits army i s co mposed, nearly 8,000 are emp l oye d i n th e d e fence of the newly-acquired territory (i nc l u di ng T exas ), and of emigrants proceeding thereto. I am g ratified to say th a t these efforts have been unusually successful. With the exception of some partial outbreaks in California and Oregon, and occasional depredations on a portion of the Rio Grande, owing, it is believed, to the disturbed state of that border region, the inroads of the Indians have been effectually restrained. " Experience has shown, however, that whenever the two races are brought into contact collisions will inevitably occur. To prevent these collisions the United States hve generally set apart portions of their territory for the exclu sive occupation of the Indian tribes. A difficulty occurs, however, in the application of this policy to Texas. By the terms of the compact by which that State was ad mitted into the Union, she retained the ownership of all the vacant lands within her limits. The Government of that State, it is understood , h as assi g ned no portion of her territory to the Indians, but as fast as her settlements ad vance lays it off into counties, and proceeds to survey and sell it. This policy m anifestly tends not only to harm and, irritate the Indians, but to compel them to resort to plun der for subsistence. It also deprives this Government of that influence and control over them without which no durable peace can ever subsist between them and the whites. I trust, therefore, that a due regard for her own interests, apar t from considerations of humanity and justice, will induce that State to assign a small portion of her vast do main for the provisional occupancy of the small remnants of tribes within her borders, subject of course to her ownership and eventual jurisdiction. If she should fail to do this the fulfilment of our treaty stipulations with M e xico, and our duty to the Indiana theniaelvee, ITill, it is LONDON, TUESDAY, EVENING, DECEMBER 21, 1852. r" PORTSMOUTH RAILWAY COM PANY.—Capital, 400,0001., in 20,000 Shares of 201. each.— ')eposit, 21. 2s. per Shire.

It is intended to construct a Railway between Godalming and Havant, 32 miles in length, to afford a more direct and a cheaper communication between London and Portsmouth, as well as Railway accommodation generally to the large extent of unopened country through which it will pass. The deposit of plans and sections, and all other necessary steps, have been taken with a view to an application for an Act of Incor poration during the present Session of Parliament. The line will commence at the end of the Godalming Branch of the South-Western Railway, and will pass the towns of Godalming, Haslemere, and Petersfield, and generally following the route of the Direct Portsmouth Railway as sanctioned by Parliament in 1546, to Havant, it will there unite with the Coast Line of the Brighton Corn rany, and the Fareham Extension Line of the South-Western Com pany, and proceed thence directly to the town and harbour of Ports mouth. The landowners and others locally interested in the district have concurred in promoting this measure, and have, to the extent of neat ly three-fourths of the length of the line, signed agreements for the sale of their land at its mere agricultural value, and in several instances have agreed to take the company's shares in payment. The connexion with the South-Eastern Railway, near Godalming, will secure to the proposed line the advantage of a second entrance into and exit from London, the one to the west end, and the other to the heart of the City, establishing by the same means also a direct communication, and with a great saving in distance, between the metropolis, Woolwich, Chatham, Sheerness, Reigate, and the South-eastern Line generally, and Guildford, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, as well as with all the intervening country. The line will effect all the objects contemplated by the Direct Portsmouth Act of 1846, but at the reduced cost of 400,0001. now, instead of 1,500,010/. then required. It has been also further greatly improved by a late survey made under the directions of Messrs. Locke and Errington, by which it will not only be materially shortened, but three out of the four most serious and highly objectionable tunnels in the forme: plans have been entirely got rid of in the present, and the fourth, near Peters field, reduced to one-third its length. To avoid all risk and uncertainty, however, on these essential points, the promoters have entered into a provisional contract with perfectly responsible parties, for the completion of the entire line from Godalming to Havant, for the extremely moderate sum of 372,0001., or 12,000/. per mile. including the clst of land, rails, sta tions, and all other necessaries, excepting only the locomotive plant; and further, the same parties have come under a formal and binding engagement to take a lease, if required, of the line when completed, for the first five years. at a net minimum rental of 4 per cent. per annum, with ore-halt of the profits beyond that amount. Parliament having already, in 1846, sanctioned this line now pro posed to be constructed, its promoters cannot believe that any se rious or effective opposition can be again offered to it. To sum up, it may be safely asserted that the undertaking holds out advantages to subscribers and the public generally that have rarely yet been offered by any other railway project, viz. : , It will afford the most direct, and by far the cheanest route be tween London and Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, being the shorter by twenty-two miles than either of the two existing lines, and being contracted tor at 12,0001. a mile, in lieu of about four times that a mount expended on the Brighton and South-Westernlines,it will have, through the South-eastern, from Godalming, a double entrance into London ; from which it follows, almost as a matter of course, that it will command the entire traffic of the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth, on terms that, while highly remunerative to its proprietary, mus make competition on the part of its rivals hopelev, if not impos 1- t ble, Further, the whole cost of the entire works and material has been undertaken, by respectable contractors, for a specific and fixed sum ; thus freeing the calculations and estimates of the engineers from all doubt and uncertainty. And, finally, the Shareholders will have the power of accepting or not, at their option, the offer of a lease of the line when completed, for five years, at a minimum rate of 4 per cent. interest on their capital, with half the profits beyond, with the interim payment also of 4 per cent. on the deposit and calls during the construction of the line. In the event of the Act of Par liament not being obtained the expenses will be limited to 45. per share, and the balance will be returned to the shareholders.

Congress met on the Gth, and after the usual forms had been gone through, President Fillmore's Message was read. It is as follows : " Fellow-citizens of the Senate and of the House of Re presentatives,—The brief space which has elapsed since the close of your last session, has been marked by no extraor dinary political event. The quadrennial election of chief magistrate has passed off with less than the usual excite ment. However individuals and parties may have been disappointed in the result, it is, nevertheless, a subject of national congratulation, that the choice has been effected by the independent suffrages of a free people, undisturbed by those influences which in other countries have too often affected the purity of popular elections. " Our grateful thanks are due to an all-merciful Provi dence, not only for staying the pestilence which in different forms has desolated some of our cities, but for crowning the labours of the husbandman with an abundant harvest, and the nation generally with the blessings of peace and prosperity. " Within a few weeks the public mind has been deeply affected by the death of Daniel Webster, filling at his de cease the office of Secretary of State. His associates in the Executive Government have sincerely sympathised with his family and the public generally on this mournful occa sion. His commanding talents, his great political and professional eminence, his well-tried patriotism, and his long and faithful services in the most important public trusts, have caused his death to be lamented throughout the country, and have earned for him a lasting place in our history. "In the course of the last summer considerable anxiety was caused for a short time by an official intimation from the Government of Great Britain that orders had been given for the protection of the fisheries upon the coasts of the British provinces in North America against the alleged encroachments of the fishing vessels of the United States and France. The shortness of this notice and the season of the year seemed to make it a matter of urgent impor tance. It was at first apprehended that an increased naval force had been ordered to the fishing grounds to carry into effect the British interpretation of those provisions in the convention of 1818 in reference to the true intent of which the two Governments differ. It was soon discovered that such was not the design of Great Britain, and satisfactory explanations of the real objects of the measure have been given both here and in London. " The unadjusted difference, however, between the two Governments as to the interpretation of the first article of the convention of 1818 is still a matter of importance. American fishing-vessels within nine or ten years have been excluded from waters to which they had free access for 25 years after the negotiation of the treaty. In 1845 this ex clusion was relaxed so far as concerns the Bay of Fundy ; but the just and liberal intention of the Home Government, in compliance with what we think the true construction of the convention, to open all the outer bays to our fishermen was abandoned, in consequence of the opposition of the co lonies. Notwithstanding this, the United States have, since the Bay of Fundy was re-opened to our fishermen in 1815, pursued the most liberal course towards the colonial fishing interests. By the revenue law of 1846, the duties on colonial fish entering our ports were very greatly re duced, and by the Warehousing Act it is allowed to be en tered in bond without payment of duty. In this way co lonial fish has acquired the monopoly of the export trade in our market, and is entering to some extent into the home consumption. These facts were among those which increased the sensibility of our fishing interest at the move ment in question. " These circumstances and the incidents above alluded to have led me to think the moment favourable for a re consideration of the entire subject of the fisheries on the coasts of the British provinces, with a view to place them upon a more liberal footing of reciprocal privilege. A wil lingness to meet us in some arrangement of this kind is un derstood to exist on the part of Great Britain, with a de sire on her part to include in one comprehensive settlement as well this subject as the commercial intercourse between the United States and the British provinces. I have thought that, whatever arrangements may be made on these two subjects, it is expedient that they should be em braced in separate conventions. The illness and death of the late Secretary of State prevented the commencement of the contemplated negotiation. Pains have been taken to collect the information required for the details of such an arrangement. The subject is attended with considerable difficulty. If it is found practicable to come to an agree ment mutually acceptable to the two parties, conventions may be concluded in the course of the present winter. The control of Congress over all the provisions of such an arrangement affecting the revenue will, of course, be re served. " The affairs of Cuba formed a prominent topic in my last annual message. They remain in an uneasy condition, and a feeling of alarm and irritation on the part of the Cuban authorities appears to exist. This feeling has inter fered with the regular commercial intercourse between the United States and that island, and led to some acts of which we have a right to complain. But the Captain- General of Cuba is clothed with no power to treat with foreign Governments, nor is he in any degree under the control of the Spanish Minister at Washington. Any communication which he may hold with an agent of a foreign Power is informal and matter of courtesy. Anxious to put an end to the existing inconveniences (which seemed to 'rest on a misconception), I directed the newly appointed Minister to Mexico to visit the Havannah, on his way to Vera Cruz. He was respectfully received by the Captain-General, who conferred with him freely on the recent occurrences, but no permanent arrangement was effected. " In the meantime, the refusal of the Captain-General to allow passengers and the mail to be landed in certain cases, for a reason which does not furnish, in the opinion of this Government, even a good presumptive ground for such a prohibition, has been made the subject of a serious remon strance at Madrid ; and I have no reason to doubt that due respect will be paid by the Government of her Catholic Majesty to the representations which our Minister has been instructed to make on the subject. " It is but justice to the Captain-General to add, that his conduct towards the steamers employed to carry the mails of the United States to Havannah has, with the ex ceptions above alluded to, been marked with kindness and liberality, and indicates no general purpose of interfering with the commercial correspondence and intercourse be tw:3,Tartlye i s n lai t t anprdetsehnist year country. official notes were received from the Ministers of France and England, inviting the Government of the United States to become a party with Great Britain and France to a tripartite convention, in vir tue of which the three Powers should severally and collec tively disclaim, now and for the future, all intention to ob tain possession of the island of Cuba, and should bind them selves to discountenance all attempts to that effect on the part of any Power or individual whatever. This invitation has been respectfully declined, for reasons which it would occupy too much space in this communication to state in detail, but which led me to think that the proposed measures would be of doubtful constitutionality, impolitic, and unavailing. I have, however, in common with several of my predecessors, directed the Ministers of France and ' England to be assured that the United States entertain no designs against Cuba ; but that, on the contrary, I should regard its incorporation into the Union at the present time as fraught with serious peril. 1 " Were this islandtomparatively destitute of inhabit ants, or occupied by a kindred race, I should regard it, if voluntarily ceded by Spain, as a most desirable acquisition. But, under existing circumstances, I should look upon its incorporation into our Union as a very hazardous measure. It would bring into the confederacy a population of a dif ferent national stock, speaking a different language, and not likely to harmonise with the other members. It would probably affect in a prejudicial manner the industrial in terest of the South, and it might revive those conflicts of opinion between the different sections of the country which lately shook the Union to its centre, and which have been so happily compromised. " The rejection by the Mexican Congress of the conven tion which had been concluded between that republic and the United States for the protection of a transit way across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and of the interests of those citizens of the United States who had become proprietors of the rights which Mexico had conferred on one of her own citizens in regard to that transit, has thrown a serious obstacle in the way of the attainment of a very desirable national object. lam still willing to hope that the differ ences on the subject which exist, or may hereafter arise, between the two Governments, will be amicably adjusted. This subject, however, has already engaged the attention of the Senate of the United States, and requires no fur ther comment in this communication. " The settlement of the question respecting the port of San Juan de Nicaragua, and of the controversy between the Republics of Costa Rica and Nicaragua in regard to their boundaries, was considered indispensable to the commence ment of the ship canal between the two oceans, which was the subject of the convention between the United States and. Great Britain of the 19th of April, 1850. Accordingly, a pro position for the same purposes, addressed to the two Go vernments in that quarter,and to the Mosquito Indians, was agreed to in April last by the Secretary of State and the Minister of her Britannic Majesty. Besides the wish to aid in reconciling the differences of the two republics, I engaged fa,the negotiation from a desire to place the great work of ship canal between the two oceans under one Jurisdiction, IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF M A RRIAGE, AND THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY.

M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, D c or of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &C. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful conseences rulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced es more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few egally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.
