This is the route that nature in dicates by features so apparent that neither party bias nor sectional interests can conceal them. " Even in the most rigorous winters there would be no snows nor ice sufficient to delay or obstruct the progress of completing the road, or at any time to interrupt its regular communication ; nearly the entire route, but particularly that portion between the Mississippi and the Rio Grande, would pass through a mild and genial climate, over a country level,. or gently undulating, and rich and beautiful as any on the North American continent. With the great advantages thus afforded her by nature, would it not be a species of madness on the part of Texas to disregard her rich boon, and allow the opportunity to pass by without using every exertion to accomplish an enterprise more stupendous in its results than any which has hitherto engaged the attention of mankind." _ - Nothing inure is needed to secure the construction of the road through the limits of the state than a liberal donation of the public domain to any responsible company. The governor is of opinion that the project is strictly constitu tional. Of other and more local schemes of railroad con nection, the message says : "While I would advise you to foster and encourage, by every legitimate and proper means, the railroad enterprises already or hereafter to be chartered, with the view of con necting the interior of our state with the gulf coast, I wish you to Understand that the recommendation is confined solely to such roads as commence and terminate at judicious points —to such as will be of manifest utility, and for the completion of which the most satisfactory assurances may be given." The governor of Alabama delivered a message of such length that even the Alabama papers are reluctant in giving it entire. It is, nevertheless, able and well written, and gives an interesting detail of the affairs of the state. The governor renews his former proposition in relation to the government lands lying within the state. These lands ought to be granted to the state, he says, and recommends the legislature to take steps to bring the matter before congress. If the grant were made it might be used for the benefit of works of internal improvement. Tinder the head of banks various suggestions are made, the chief of which is that to relieve the demand for change, and supply the absence of small coin. The banks should be authorised, if it be the will of the people, to issue to a limited extent bills of a less denomination than five dollars. A considerable space is occupied in relation to the Pacific railroad. The plan of giving aid by the general .govern ment, through grants of lands, is approved. The outstanding debt of the state is about $4,500,000. The governor notices that the credit of the state stands high, and its stock is sought for by capitalists as a safe and reliable investment. In relation to a surplus in the national treasury, over and above the wants of the government, he thinks the money may be loaned with safety to railroad companies, on proper security. In relation to slaves and their sale under execution, the governor says : —The code very properly provides that slave children of tender years shall, at, judicial and other sales, be offered with their mothers, where the defendant in execution, &c., is the owner both of the mother and children; and that at such sales slaves must be offered, and, if practicable, sold in families. But it is allowable for either of the parties in interest to impair, to a . great extent, these very salutary enactments. These provisions, in my judgment, should be absolute, at least as it respects mothers and children of ten years of age and under, and husband and wife, where the latter relation is admitted by the owner of the slaves. These are relations which moral duty requires us to respect, and it can be no violation of policy to conform municipal law to good morals. It is universally conceded that slaves are reasonable beings—with the moral feelings, it is true, often obtuse, but susceptible of improvement. The husband and wife generally cherish affection for each other, and the mutual attachment of mother and child is unusually strong. The mother is not always a wise counsellor, but she must be presumed to be the most constant and sincere the child has. Let, then, the latter enjoy this parental oversight during childhood, that it may be the better prepared, by good principles and industrious habits, to act its part afterwards. The'propriety of exempting slaves from execution, either to a partial or unlimited extent, is a question of expediency merely—an excess of credit is certainly a great evil in this State, often prejudicial to the interest of the debtor, occa sionally so to the creditor—injurious to public morals, and productive of much suffering in families. So far, then, as such a measure may affect credit, it.is not very objectionable. It is entirely easy for the owner of slaves or other property, to withdraw it from liability to creditors, by a gift made in good faith to his wife or children when he was free from debt, though he afterwards retain possession and become in debted. 1 , 4 othwithsiauding such a gift, the donor is usually permitted to enjoy a portion of the income derived from the property, if necessary to his personal support. The pur chase of an exemption of slaves from execution, by causing their names to be registered with the probate judge, will but substantially effect the same purpose, and is certainly nut more iirejudical to credit and the rigiita of creditor. The relation of master and slave is certainly an interest ing one—the severance of which is always painful to the grateful and considerate master and the dutiful and grate ful servant. Our interest in slaves cannot be regarded in all respects similar to that we enjoy in mere beasts or in animate chattels. This is indicated by the provision which so many masters are, making for their moral iinproiement, as well as the severe penalty by which our legislative acts endeavor to enforce their humane treatment. Whap effect the measure referred to would have upon the institution of slavery at home, I am nut prepared to say. Whether public sentiment demands or would approve it, coming directly from the people, you will be able to deter mine. No enactment of such political importance should be passed without an assurance that popular opinion will sustain it, lest by reaction injurious consequences may re sult. The mortality on board emigrant ships at sea continues to a very alarming extent. The reports contained in the papers now to hand, are really appalling. Between the 26th and 30th ult., the packet-ship George Hulbert had arrived at New York from Havre. She left that port with 615 passengers, 75 of whom died during the voyage. The ship .Rochambeau, from Liverpool, had arrived at New York, and during the voyage she lost eleven of her passengers. She had 416 on board when she left this port. The 5i1.48 Green man, from Liverpool, lost twenty-seven during the passage. The Helvetia, from Havre, lost may two. The packet-ship New World left this port with 754 passengers, but on her arrival at New York she had only 679—seventy-five having died during the. passage. The Marathon, from Liverpool, lost sixty-tour out of 522, with which she sailed from this port. We give in another column a list of the names of the passengers who havedied at sea on board these ships; but we may notice here one important fact, as stated in the New York Commercial Advertiser, which tends to show that this fearful mortality is not the result of any bad ventilation or overcrowding of emigrant ships, as is generally supposed. It appears that the deaths occur during the early part of the voyage, and that during the latter part, generally good health prevails. Our New York contemporary says :—The ship Marathon, Tyler, arrived this morning from Liverpool, after a passage of 59 days. She, has lost 64 of her passengers during the passage. The first death occurred on the day Capt. Tyler left Liverpool, and the sickness continued until the ship had been fifteen days at sea. Since that time the passengers have enjoyed comparative health. The Marathon had 522 passengers. In reference to the New World, he says : When Capt. Knight left Liverpool he had on board his ship 754 passengers, and brought into port 679, seventy-five having died on the passage, of cholera. Three died while at anchor in the Mersey, and from that day until the I2th lust., it assumed a very malignant type, and raged with vekt. vinlPneA. Since the 12th thr,e has been only one new case, although several previously attacked, died. • About two thirds of the dead were Germans. Accounts which had reached Boston from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, reports, that a new barque built there, which sailed about twelve days agO for Liverpool, was totally wrecked when only three days out on the voyage. She was fully insured in New York. Name not given. The Cineinnatti Gazette gives the following account of the loss of 100.000 dollars worth of property by fire in that city. About one o'clock on Thursday afternoon, tire was discover- , ed in the:roof of the Catholic church in Congress-street, near Butler, which was put out without much loss. At sne o'clock on Friday morning, the stable of the Peach Or chard Coal Company was set on fire, and 16 valuable horses consumed. At two o'clock, immediately after, fire was discovered in the pattern shop of D. A. Powell's extensive stone-finishing shop, on Butler-street, and in spite of the herculean labours of the fire department, it and valuable contents of machine patterns and work were entirely consumed. Part of the new engine of. the water works was among the unfinished work destroyed. Loss to Mr. Powell at least $75,000, beside $20,000 insured. The Washington Star states that the Postmaster-general had received information that Austria, with her dependen cies, has consented to the postal arrangem e nt w ith B re men, and hereafter the whole of the Austrian empire is to be in cluded in the European continental arrangement to which the treaty applies. From the same authority, we learn that the mail steamer Washington, will not leave New York on the 3rd of Decem- - ber, her appointed day ; but the Bremen steamer Germania, will take her place, LATEST & EXCLUSIVE. We have received telegraphice advices from New Orlean s to the afternoon of the 29th ult., and from Charleston to the same date. At the former place the cotton market was quiet, the sales on the preceding day barely reached 1,500 bales. We regret to learn that the cholera had broken out, and prevailed to a serious extent. The board of health report that, during the week there had been 261 deaths, of which 129 were from cholera. The victims were mostly emigrants. Mr. E. J. Carrol, formerly editor of the Crescent City, was numbered among the dead. The weather is reported as rainy and sultry. The following vessels had • arrived : Westminster, Mem phis, Cornelia, Linden, and Josiah Bradlee, From Charleston, we learn that tht steam-ship Falcon had arrived there from Havannah short of coal, having experienced very bad weather. She furnishes no political news of interest. The 'favourite Spanish actress of Tacon theatre had been murdered by her husband, who afterwards destroyed himself. The event had a great excitement, and the.alleged cause was infidelity. Our correspondent manifestly alludes to the notorious lady, Lola Montz, who, some time since, was joined in wedlock to the editor of an Havannah paper. We, how ever, do nbt venture to supply the name,. or to verify the fact. THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. 1,0 0 1 1 it kNi e " sun , l o ol# L l'sa ° I Per oC• c 't ti los 11 1,0 I lrotv e , laed, e .

The steamer. United States, from Aspinwall, arrived at New Orleans orr the 25th ult., with advices to the Ist of November. The steamer Illinois has arrived at New York, from Aspinwall, with $1,000,000 in gold dust. The Pro metheus has arrived at New York, from San Juan, with $1,754,868 in gold dust. By these arrivals we have a fortnight's later news from California. - The most absorbing questions are the proposed removal of the capital, and the election of a United States Senator, to take his seat in 1855. The pripcipal candidates are Messrs. Broderick, Harnford, and Gwin. Two steamers—the American _Eagle and Stockton—had exploded, killing two persons. The mining news is interesting, and the miners generally were prosperous. Many new placers had been discovered. Emigration to Australia had ceased, The Sonora fillibusterinc , ') expedition, attracted much at tention, and there was but little sympathy for it amongst the people. It would probably prove an utter failure. The complimentary dinner to John Mitchel took place ore the 25th October, and Mitchel sailed on the Ist November, ell route for New York. • The total amount of treasure shipped from San Francisco, on the Ist November, by both routes, was $2,750,000, mostly for New York. The fine Wilding Ine,vn as the Sam Francisco Hotel has been entirely consumed by fire. A:serious riot is reported to have occurred at a place called Martinez, in which three Spaniards were killed. Trade:in San Francisco, and indeed throughout Califor nia, is represented as exceedingly dull, owing to the immense stock of goods on hand, and all articles except flour have met with a further decline. Flour, however, is quoted as being firmly held. The crops were turning out fine. The present season has been the healthiest known in Cali fornia, since the discovery of 'gold within her borders. There is very little sickness in any portion of the state. Ou the Ist of November the weather throughout the state was clear and pleasant, and there was no prospect of the early commencement of the rainy season. The improvementS in Sacramento are spokenof favourably. On the 2nd of November, 1852, , -this city was in, ashes. On the Ist of November 1853, the entire ground on which the former town stood, was covered with buildings far superior to those destroyed, and among, them two hundred and fifty fire pied stores. The streets haVe been elevated above high water mark, the main thoroughfares planked, and a plank road completed to the Ten Mile House, on the Comma road. The old levee has been widened and strengthened, and in order to more effectually protect the city against the en croachments of the waters of the Sacramento and American, a new levee has been built, extending from the foot of It. street eastward to the high grouind, and thence northward to the American river. The town numbered 14,000 souls. The telegraphic, wires are stretched from San Francisco to Marysville via San Jose, Stockton, and Sacramento, and messages are transmitted regularly. The Auburn and Neveda line is also in operation. TILE ISTHMUS OF PAN-4211A. The Aspinwall Courier mentions the arrival of the brig o _Naiad, Captain Morton, in eighteen days from New York, and notices a report that she was to proceed immediately to an island near. Aspinwall for the purpose of procuring a cargo of guano. . . A correspondent of the Panama Star, writing in that city, thus sketches the progress of the railroad : " The company have now at work over se renteen hundred labourers ; which number is being added to by every steam arrival at Aspinwall. •In , a couple of months, it is expected that one or two ship loads of labourers will be landed direct from Ireland, who will be pushed over to join an equal number, or more, 'of coolies, expected to be landed here in Panama in about the same time —this whole force to be put vigorously on the work hence to Obispo river, to which place the road, with the exception of a small section of the bridge at Barbacoas, is virtually finished. I was assured both by Mr. Bates, the architect, and by Mr. Baldwin, the well-known engineer, and at present superintendent, that by the Ist of December— certainly not later than the 15th —they fully expect to have the bridge so far completed as to allow the cars to pass over daily. " From the Chagres river the road is already constructed, and with the exception of one place of about half a mile, which will be • finished this week, the rails are already laid to the Obispo river, from whence to Panama is a distance of 181 miles by measurement. From the bridge at Barbacoas to that at the Obispo, the road follows the banks of the Chagres river, and can be seen from almost any point of .i.t. From the Obispo, the road leaves the river, and will then come in as near a straight line as possible to Panama. " By the first of January, a mule road will be constructed from the Obispo—which for some time will be the terminus of the railroad —to intersect the Cruces road, about two and a half or three miles this side of that 'village. As I have stated, the whole distance from the Obispo to this city is 181 miles, and it will thus be seen that by the time named, the trip across the isthmus can be made with the most perfect ease, in one day light." The British mail steam-ship Lima, which left Panama for the south, on the 7th instant, had on board £200,000, sent out from England for the use of the Peruvian government. SANDWICH ISLANDS. From the Sandwich Iklands the news is ten days later. The dates are to the 10th of Odtober. Another change has been made in the ministry, Prince Kamehameha having resigned the office of prime minister, and John Young being appointed his successor. The small pox has not yet ceased its ravages, although it is gradually diminishing throughout the entire group. The number of new cases reported in the island of Oahu for the week ending September 16th, was 246 ; number of deaths in same time, 65 ; —for week ending September 23rd, new cases, 71 ; deaths, 30 ;—week ending September 30th, new cases, 35 • deaths, 30. For the week ending October 7th, there was a sudden in crease in the malignancy of the disease--number of new cases, 192 ; deaths, 76. From the other islands the report for the four weeks mentioned above showed successively, new cases, 8,2, none, 42; and deaths, 5,7, none, 16. The total number of cases reported up to the Bth of October, reached the enormous sum of 5661, of whom 2033 are known to have died. JAMAICA. We have received a file of the Kingston Morning Journal, from the 31st of October to thq 12th of November, inclu sive, but find no news of much importance. The question of import duties remained unsettled. The House of As embly had deferred the passing of the bill until the committee appointed to consider the propositions of the colonial secretary with regard to a responsible government make their report; but in the meantime and in order to prevent the further loss of revenue, the boa.o adopted a reso latioa ;similar to one acted upon in 1849, declaring that the duties to be levied under the import bill, when passed, shall take effect from the 3rd November inst., in accordance with the last existing tariff. Business matters have not improved under these circumstances. Indeed so little confidence is placed in the permanency of fiscal legislation in the colony, and especially at this juncture, that nu purchasers on specu lation or to any extent can be effected. . . The matter of the contemplated excise on spirits is considered impracticable, and will probably be aban doned. Supplies of imported goods are generally ample. The articles most in demand, and the stocks of which might be increased without largely affecting the present value, are pickled fish, codfish in boxes, butter, lard, rice, corn and candles. Produce is quiet. SOUTH AMERICA. By the arrival of the oantiago, at Panama, we have some intelligence from the Western Coast of South America. The Panama Star furnishes the following items of Peru vian and Bolivian intelligence : "Tee Brazilian government have dispatched speciariminis ters to Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and New Granada, for the purpose of effecting a treaty with those governments, to monopolise the whole trade of the Amazon. It is supposed that such a treaty cannot be effected. Peru having already entered into an arrangement to open that river and its tri butaries to the United States. Ecuador, Bolivia and New Granada also being friendly to the United States, and cannot consistently enter into such a treaty with Brazil. / " Kate Hayes had given her first concert at Lima the night prior to the sailing of the Santiago. She attracted a very full house. " The committee appointed to examine into the quantity of guano on the Chinchas Islands, report that there is at present about twenty-five millions of tons remaining. " Bolivia continues much in the same state. No war has yet broken out with Peru, although both countries are still prepared for battle." BERMUDA We have advices froilliei;;;latO the 16th ult. A private etter states that during the previous eight days there had been only eight deaths from the fever in Hamilton. The writer adds :—"Yesterday, among the troops at Prospect-hill, there were ten cases, three very bad ones, but none of them of very recent date, having been in hand for nearly a week. I was sorry to learn yesterday that the fever was spreading among ; the troops at Ireland Island, four deaths having ot!• cured - within the last twenty-four hours, and others hid been sent to the hospital. There are but few cases in Hamilton at present, and they are going on favorably," " The admiral has postponed his departure frill]. Halifax.

Yesterday, the accounts by the Atlantic being less favourable than had been anticipated, the market lost its buoyancy, closing very irregular, and some sales of grades below middling, it is understood, were made at a slight decline from the quoted rates.

Yesterday, the market opened slightly easier, owing to a recurrence of mild weather here and at the west, which tends greatly to facilitate the receipts, but towards the close, with less offering, there was .some reaction, and our revised quotations now stand about 64 cents higher than on Friday last, for nearly all descriptions except State. The Atlantic's advices were considered favorable, and it is under stood she brought large orders, particularly from the conti nent. No. 2 superfine and sour are scarce, and being rela tively cheaper than the better grades, are much wanted for export.

GRAIN.—The wheat market opened dull and depressed on Saturday, but with more inquiry on Monday, increased firmness was apparent, especially for the common descrip tins, which are most wanted for export. Yesterday the market opened easier, but after the receipt of the private letters per Atlantic, there was a slight reaction, and more steadiness towards the cluse. Our revised quotations show a decline of 1 to 2 cents on prime qualities, and a proportionate advance on the common de scriptions---the sales include 26,000 bushels ordinary to prime White Canada at $1,56 to $1,73, in bond; 48,200 inferior to choice White Genesee, $1,70 to $l,BO, the latter an extreme price at the close ; 1000.

Rye opened firm with a good demand, but closed rather heavily at $l, at which price 16,000 bushels have been sold. Barley, with an in creased supply, is scarcely so firm—the sales are 16,000 bushels common to good two-rowed State and Western at 81 to 84 coals. Oats. with a slight stock and active demand, continue firm ; our revised quotations stand about one cent higher than on Friday last, for all except Southern and Pennsylvania' which remain unchanged. Corn has contin ued in active demand, in part for export ; the market slightly advanced on Saturday and Monday, but yesterday, with large receipts, a portion of the improvement was lost, the market closing firmly at the decline--the sales are 157,000 bushels ; included in yesterday's sales were 12,000 bushels Jersey Yellow, for export, at 83 cents.

IRON.—We notice a fair demand and much steadiness in the market for Scotch pig, but other descriptions remain very quiet. The sales are 6toB .0 tons Scotch pig at $34 to $35, cash, and $36 to $37,60, 6 mos ; and most of the recent receipts of Russia sheet, before arrival, on terms not made public. The advices from England for pig continue favorable, and higher prices are now asked. NAVAL STORES— Generally continue very quiet, though hol ders of spirits turpentine are firmer, and a little better price was offered yesterday. The sales are 400 brls Wilmington and South Carolina turpentine, at $4,75 per 2101 b; 650 spirits turpentine, 64 to 65 cents cash, and 65 1 to 66 , 30 and 60 days ; 375 white rosin, $2,25 to $4,60 per 2801 b : 900 Wilmington, $l,BO to $1,85, delivered ; 500 do afloat, $1,75 ; and 200 Wilmington tar, $3,121, in yard. The stock of turpentine is light, but the scarcity of freight room prevents operations---engagements for London were made some time since, by a vessel expected, but she has not yet arrived. Pitovisiorrs.—The demand for Western pork continues moderate, and with only a limited demand, prices of mess andprime are agaiulsl to 25 cents lower —thesales aggregate 1000 brls., the market closing heavily at our quoted rates ; inferior descriptions are inactive and nominal.

VIENNA, FRIDAY ETENING. - Bucharest advice to the sth, and Kalafat to the 3rd, bring nothing; General Osten-Sacken cannot reach Moldavia, before the end of the month. The cabinet messenger with the proposal of the Powers to the Porte, did not leave till Wednesday. Letters from Asia confirm the news of the defeat of the Russians in two engagements near, Akeska, as well as the storming of the fortresses of AkeSka and Saifa. *Abdi Pacha has entered Georgina, marching and his army is on .Teflis. Sir Edmund Lyons' arrived at Constantinople on the 28th of November. The Times. believes the collective note signed at Vienna does no more than state the earnest desire of the four powers to stop the effusion of blood, and obviate the danger of a war, which already seriously threatens the security of Europe. For this purpose, and, inasmuch as Russia has already given assurances of her readiness to treat, the allied courts tender their good offices, and, as a preliminary step, they request to be informed on . what terms the Turkish government is prepared to open such a negotiation. The mode in which the negotiation might be opened would be the appointment of a Turkish and Russian plenipotentiary to meet in conference, not alone, but with the representatives of the four great powers, and in the meantime the conclusion; or v., _Armistice is recommended. The protocol, signed at ti.t time, and originally proposed by France, is a document Divssing, in precise - and . • More detailed language, the views mutual en gagements of the four powers themselves. ~ vl.„t , _ ever may be the fate of the fresh overture now made to the belligerents, this declaration places in an authentic form the assurances which Russia herself has heretofore made, and the resolution of the mediating powers to insist on their fulfilment. The Times foresees considerable ' difficulty in bringing to any tangible 'resnit at all, even in the shape of preliminaries of peace, the scheme which has just originated with the four poa•ers,'and re ceived their assent. The Morning Post says it is believed that Aus 7 tria and Prussia have so far committed themselves, to the views and ideas of the western powers,. than in the event of a hostile collision between the forces of England and France with thOse of Russia,. the German powers will at least remain completely neutral At the same. time the Porte expresses with regret, its Opinion that a war between the western powers and Russia, confined in all probability to the Black Sea and the Turkish territory, seems inevitable. FURTHER PARTICULARS The lfoniteur states that the double object of the conference is " to re-establish peace between Rus sia and the Sublime,Porte, on conditions honorable to both parties; and to maintain the territorial integrity of the Ottoman empire." A letter has been received hero to-day, by an eminent banker, which states positively that AL de Meyendorff has declared that Russia will not recognise the acts of the COTlfereneP Tf the cgse. tha quc.otioll at once arises— are the four Powers agreed, in the event of the refusal of Russia to conclude a peace on the terms which they think reasonable, to force her to accept those terms ? The latest news from the Danube states that two companies of Wallachia,n militia had succeeded in crossing the river during the night, and in reach ing the camp of Omer Pacha. They have given some important information respecting the Thus- sian army, which is far from being in such an effective state - as that described in letters from St. Petersburg. A rumour was in circulation on Friday in Paris that the Emperor of Russia .had—abdicated, but it obtained little credit. Namick Pacha is said to have contracted the Turkish loan With a joint-stock company in Paris.; The Bosnian Christians begin, to refuse to pay contributions. The Russian Governor of .Erivan has imprisoned the Armenian Patriarch of Etchmaidzin. The, Patriarch of Aghsumar has addressed a pastoral to his diocesans announcing the above fact, invit, , ing the Armenian Christians to pray for their .bre thren who are groaning under the despotism of Russia.

Icy Cape, is the extreme north western point of America, in lati tude 70 degrees north, about five degrees ly a. , ve the nar rowest point of Behring's Strait. At this t the coast tun. abiuptly, Point Barrow, where the Plover wintered, is to the north and east of Icy Cape, still farther within the Arctic ocean. The place itself is a miserable spot, with no rising ground near, and nothing but ice to be seen for miles around. There are about two hundred natives here, most desperate thieves ; and it required the utmost caution and good manage ment on the part of the English to remain on friendly terms with them, and at the same time repress this vicious propen sity. The Plover, after receiving her supplies from the Rattlesnake, at Point Spencer, took her departure on the 24th of August for Point Barrow, to remain another winter. locked up in those dismal regions of ice. Two other Eng lish vessels of war—the Enterprise and Investigator—passed Point Barrow the year before last, and penetrated still further into the ice, on the look-out for Sir John Franklin. Nothing had been heard of them since they left ; and from the strong current and drifting ice setting north-east, when the Amphitrite left, there was little chance of their putting back again. Indeed it was generally considered impossible: The Amphitrite left Port Clarence, inside of the straits, on the Bth of September ; passed the Aleutian Islands in five days, and arnved at Honolulu on the Ist of October. After passing the Aleutians, she experienced most disagreeable weather—nothing but thick fog, rain, and raw cold. The thermometer in the middle of September was frequently be low forty degrees. The Plover reported the previous winter as of great duration, and this backwardness of the season accounted for the great quantity of ice seen by the Amphi trite. She will await orders here, and expects to sail in a few days for the coast of Mexico, Panama, and Valparaiso.— San Francisco Herald, .Nov. lst. IRELAND.
