In default of some isuch, conservativ-e Policy, " there will be two opposition parties, us in 1856 ; or three or four opposition candidates,:•as: in 1836 or . an anti-slavery 'balance of Power, AS in -1114 . ; or an election:by the House of Itepreenta- Alves; as in 181 - t4, compelling a ncic organisation of P4rties, out-and-out, for the --succestion,.•; -0-u th? other hand, 4.he administratiox among . the •demo7l craey holds , the inevitable balance of power. The in position of the President, any event, is secured. If the party stand by him, the _party may be recoil l stitteted upon a firm and effleiePt r footing. But there are 4io satisfactory stigns to this end. On the eontrery, , from all ithe -party developments which hav< - 3 followed the Rresiden4 'Nfe.ssage, the adjournment of this Congress" will findqhe demo cracy in more disordered condition than at any other time:- since .the defeat of ',Nan Buren." Ko t hat the' conclusion come to is, " We may antici pate a battle for the succession in: which the divi sions af. the Opposition upon their sectional issues of slavery.on the one hand, and :the positive weak ness of the democracy on - the other, will most probably throw the :election into Congress. And What - then ?" it is- asked. " Why, then; the answer is, " - the ‘prcelaniation of the new Presi , : dears Cabinet arallnaugural will be followed by a Am; organisation of parties, for that politieal— revfilution which commenced with: the downfall of rhe bold Whig party will only be perfected with tlie , removal of the decayed remains of the old -ucticocratie party from the field. A new order of Parties is inevitable with or after the election of 1880 . In properly taking the initiative the Oppo sitionrmay gain..the field, and choose their ground far the future ; in trusting to the desperate issue 0 1 the slaveryitagitation, the 'Republicans may forfeit all they have gained upon a question which tt a as served it s atty."

Douglas) resolves itself very much into one 'f_ politic a l de grees. Tho ultimate object of the P °lie y °f each•of them is the same,—that, namely, of territorial, along, of course, with 'national -aggrandisement. But the President would pursue it slowly and stealthily; while his rival competitor 'for Popularity would dash right at it at once — without, 'as the saing is, " either with your leave, -or by your- leave." Mr. Buchanan, it is true, has shewn a strong disposition to take Cuba withov.t thuleav e of Spain, if it cannot he got with it ; but as regards Mexico, he is more cautious. His Policy in this case is rather of an absorbing than an aggressive nature. He would take advantage, with as little commotion as _possible, of every opportunity of swallowing up,- first this adjoining slice of Mexican territory, and then the other, until it is all absorbed into the federal -union. This process of absorption is ..not only a peaceful, but au economical mode of proceeding ; whereas the aggllessive policy would be likely to prove both a belligerent and an expensive one. Either will probably answer the purpose, ultimately,-- that is to say, if there issue no successfil obstruction to it from the other side of the , Atlantic. • The "peculiar institution" has:been unfortunate lately, in' there having occurred so many opportu nities 'of illustrating it in seine of its most revolting aspects. The capture and deportation of a cargo of negroes, the other day, showed. th a t no t only slave r y, b u t the,slave-trade, still exists,—the latter, as many believe, the indispensable feeder of the _former. .And since this occurrence, another slave-ship has actually succeeded in landing some 450 negroes—" wild Africans," they are called, most , of which have been taken to A plantation in the Savannah :river, in South Carolina. One of the local papers :thus proudly and Christianly .(!) boasts .of its consummation :—" The question has often been asked, what practical good can result from the agitation of the revival of the slave trade? We point to this cargo ,of sturdy labourers, delivered from the darkness and barbarism of Africa, :to be elevated and.christian ized on our soil !" And then, having ,shawn how it lessens the price of niggers, it goes on still to vaunt,—,4 further And we claim that these results are the beginning of the blessings to flow in upon the South from the fearless advocacy of the revival of the slave -trade by one or two independent presses in this St a t e an d S outh Carolina. This trade may _be called pi racy b y a false construction of a foolish law ; but the day will come when the South will . _make it th e r i ght arm of hal-legitimate commerce." This is plain speaking, certainly. But it is such as :show s very forcibly that the South will give up a n othing to th e more h umane an d more enlightened Vas of the N or th. Th e new G overnor o f S out h arolina, in his recent inaugural address, speaks 1 1148 confidently, not to say arrogantly, of the same black i nterest,— " It is to be hoped that no occasion will arise requiring the State to call upon her sons for fli e defence of. her rights and her institutions— that our enemies at the North will learn wisdom from the past, and permit us to quietly manage our own-affairs in Our own way—that our friends at the North, by the power of argument and the force of truth, will be able (if not to convince the deluded fanatic) to satisfy the minds .of the intelligent and patriotic of the justice of our cause and the honesty of our ends, and thus avert the dangers with which we- are threatened." The "justice of our cause," is the iniquity of a system against which all Christendom is crying out ' • and " the h onesty of our en d s, " i s id ent i f i ed with the practice of man-stealing, and being the receiver of stolen men, which is, we are told on good authority as bad as being the thief. The citizens of New York are evincing a desire that the new Board of Councilmen should try to be economical. Another _levy to the amount of about eight millions of dollars, is going to be made. It is s h own t h at the Common Council have the power. _and they will not fail to exercise it— of 'swelling the expenses of the city to almost any amount- they 'lease, by authorizing all kinds of jobs, increasing salaries, and so forth. But . they are besought to turn Aver a new leaf in the alleals of the Corporation. "We call upon the en , w ho- have been. put in power," in, th e language of ari..appeal to them, " to initiate a f ; thorough and radical system of city reform.

Over ten millions of acres of lafid have been sold underiltAi graduation-law of 1854, at . the price of !;twelye and la half cents per acre. Over 15,000,000 acres have ;been surveyed and are ready--for market in Kansas 'and Nebraska. Such is an abstractlof the official istatemcnt. The vquantity of land sold' in 1858 is not half that of 1857. The largest quantity sold in any one ' year!during the - last _quarter of a century, was in- • 1836, when it-amounted to up- Wards of twetity millions of acres. The price, toe, seems to have, fallen, as much as ene-half. The, - average 4ett . t o r oduct used to , -exceed a dollar en . _ acre : now it. is ;little more than half -a dollar The decrease of the number -of .einigrats, has no, - )doubt a good deal to do with'the diminution 'ma the Sales of - -the. public lands: - Muting the year 1858; ;there has been - a total of 1b,9,89 arrivals against '178,511 ja 1857. This is a great falling ofr. • Then, is another decrease with -whichlhedis- . posal of - public lands has alsO Something 't,o do, — that Of the "Indian," or abroginal population. I find 'that the last report of the Indian 'bureau .

This is certainly a tvery• pretty acquisition. But We see - from this report of the present population of `lndians how fast the race is dwindling away bafore the tide of civilisation which is flowing over :their ancient domain. ' The numbjrl of Indians within the territory of the United States, in 1853, was estimated by the Commissioner of Indian 'Affairs at 400,764. So that in fle=e years their number has decreased nearly 60,000. At this rate, in the'Course of another eight or ten years; they will have 'entiroly disappeared from the 'United States territory. , .„ There is still another decrease in population that is not unworthy of notice, whether in connection with the foregohig, or oth - erviiie. One \would have thought dint the progress." .of which the other statements are . such striking evidences, would haiie involved - a continued increase , cif the manufacturing population. Yet . 1 find that" in Lowell, Massachusetts, the Manchester of 'America, the population, within two years, has fallen from 38,000 to 33,00. At least one thousand tene ments are said to be - now vacant in that city.. And -it does not appear that , the manufactures which have thus evidently:takentheir flights from. Lowell, have -alighted and taken up their abode, in any other locality. The fact, therefore, is to be regarded- as_ evidence. of the- decline of helnanu-. facturing interest to that extent. The :new and popular plan of turning - Theatres into Preaching-places still goes on- swimmingly in the city of New York. The twe principal concerns are those of'the Opera -House 'and ; the - National Theatre. At the former,the -service ‘.‘ continues to be attended by crowded cougregatious, :to the extent that hundreds are obliged to leave, unable to get within hearing distance of the speaker,"— long before the hour arrives for the exercises to commence every seat- is occupied, and soon every available standpoint is lik'ewiselaken. The a'sles, and even the stage behind the speaker, are filled, and still the crowd pours in thick and fast, only to turn away disappointed. At the latter, a recent Sunday evenilng gathering is thus described in.one of the daily journals,—" The -parterre was,, filled with young boys who prowl about the streets, careless of themselves and unheeded by others. The orchestra seats, boxes, and:!first gallery were pretty much •secupied by - church-going people— probably by members of the preacher's own denc- urination ; the second and ihird galleries pretty much by a younger class of perms, who probably came as much from curiosity to attend preaching in a theatre as to listen to the preacher on the good things of salvation. The boys seemed to enjoy going to church in the theatre, fora time at least, and before the doors were open quite a crowd was waiting on the pavement outside. As soon as entrance was hadthe seats were filled, and before the services commenced every regular place was occupied. In the course of the ,evening the {passages were likewise filled by persons who remained during :the service, so that so far as numbers are concerned the theatre pxcaching is a success." •It is added :that, during-the sermon, " the boys were rather noisy, but much less so {than at the preceding services. Notwithstanding this improve ment in their _manners," continues the account, " the singing, prayer and prefatory remarks were not allowed to pass without cheers, hi hi's, stamping of feet, and the shrill whistle from some of the more enthusiastic urchins. In all there were at. the beginning about five hundred boys ; but they absconded in iatelLes at intervals daring' the service, till at last they probably did not number four score. It struck us that if ,the sheep ' -would mingle _with the goats' in fthe parterre, the noise of the conglomerated mass ; of hail young fellows well poet' would soon be heard ;no more, and the , youngsters would learn to behave themselves an good society." It cannot, surely, be considered that there is au indication in all this that any gervaal good effect is being produced by these theatrical preachings. That there is the bail effect of seating irreverence for sacred things—of associating what is holy with what is unholy—of treating the most solemn of all subjects with levity, not to say profanity, and thereby running the risk, at any rate, of bringing religion itself into contehipt, can scarcely be questioned. And this, it cannot be denied, is very bad. What there may be to set off against this, remains to be seen. At prQsent, there - is no sign. Those whom it is intended to benefit, evidently, in the main, treat it as a joke. Mawdsley's school-boy pocket pencils in great variety, 3d, 6d, and is.

PROPOSED RAILWAY IN THE ISLE OF WIGIIT.—The attempt to extend the convenience and expedition of railway travelling to the Isle of Wight is about to be renewed with every prospect of success. The principal owners of property have within the last few days held meetings to promote the formation of a line which, on the completion of Stokes Bay ferry, will complete the communidation between the metropolis and Ryde, New port, Cowes, and the beautiful little towns of Ventnor and Bonchurch; the climate of which is pronounced by medical men to be the most salubrious in the British Isles. The proposed railway, as laid dovin by Messrs. Birkinshaw and Conybeare, is to commence close to the pier at Ryde, and thence proceed to Ro w l an d s , where it will diverge to the right to Newport, . and thence, touching at Parkhurst and Northwood to Cowes ; and to the left proceeding coastward to Sandown by Gat ton, to Benchurch and Ventnor, which may be regarded as the metropolis of the island. The beautiful scenery and invigorating climate of the Undercliffe will thus be made accessible to the invalid, without having recourse to the overland journey across the hills. It has been urged as an objection to former schemes for the introduction of railways into the island that the privacy of her Majesty's marine residence at Cowes might have been interfered with; but by the proposed plan care has been taken to lay down the line in such a manner as to avoid any such interference. The population of the Isle of Wight, according to the last census, was 50,324, against 35,431 in 1831, being an increase of 42 per cent. against 29 per cent., the increase for all England. The increase of late yaars has been at the rate of 260 percent. at Ryde, and 225 per cent. at Ventnor and Bonchurch. The neeessaryplans have been lodged at the Board of Trade, and the bill is to be proceeded with in the coming session, f gb Al l I atiNt AV T t 180 GREAT WESTERN RAIEWAY, TO THE EDITOR TOF7THE ThiES: sii4,,—lNO'sv that thetraffic returns Upon railwayg are complete for the half-year ending Dec. 31,. beg to send you an estimate of the pro bable balance which the Great Western proprietors may have to deal with at their next general meat= ing, with some suggestions for their consideration in the meantime.

But, now for the important part of the subject, viz., how the petiprietors should deal with this balance, or whatever balance they may have to dispose of. • : , • I would earn es tly p ress upon their attention now, when-the money market is so :favourable tor financial operations, the necessity of considering, above all things, the permanent• we fate of their property.' Let me recall to their rethembranbe the recommendatiori of their auditor at the last meet ing, a retommendation which I well know was no sudden-and petulant expression; for I have heard it from him from time to time for the last year and a-half. Let me remind them how em phatically he stated:his conviction (and no man has such good., oppOrtunities of judging of the financial position of the Company), that the Com pany's ultimate prosperity demanded the surrender of dividend for a period. I trust and believe not so long a period as he then stated, for I think altered circumstances will materially assist our efforts. It is an obnoxious course to recommend the suspension of dividend; people are apt to say that it is unfeeling and pressed by some wealthy proprietors 'who can afford to wait, and have no sympathy for 'the sufferings of others. 'This is tartainly not :ray case—but when we review the prices of Great Western stock during the past six months, and see that they have . .actually risen in spite of the saspension of dividend, from £5O in June, to £561 in Decem ber, without any important fluctuations, we are obliged to admit that this calamity, great as it - undoubtedly is, has not produced the disastrous consequences which might have _been anticipated. In fact, the Great Western stock appears to be what is:termed " well held," and its kistory shows that it is now in hands resolved and able to bide the issue. Now, let me point out the advantages to be gained from loaning the impending balance - to the Company; they were only briefly recited by Mr. Atkinson, who dwelt chiefly upon the intricate accounts waiting settlement with the South Wales and Midland Companies, against which a reserve should be kept to provide for possible contingen- Tupon this point we must be content to accept Mr. Atkinson's opinion, as for the want of a .balance-sheet we proprietors have been kept in entire ignorance of the nature and amount of these claims ; how long we shall be satisfied to _excuse the publication of this important document, which is now generally fur nished by railway companies, it is beside my present purpose to inquire. Secondly. The statement for June, 1858, shows that there is still .a loan of £22092' on preference stock, which .seriously embarrasses the company's financial operations, and in times of money scarcity gravely adds - to' the interest charges. The rate' of interest on this ,description of loan, then about half a million, averaged in a recent half-year, I believe, eight per cent. Thirdly :.In consequence of the false position of the Great Western Company in the money market, they have been obliged recently to renew debentures at 4i per cent. while other companies in better repute, but - with actually no better security, have renewed :at 3i. Now, this difference •to which we are :entitled would, if extended-to our whole borrowed capital, effect as mueh (saving as would give the original yiroprie tors.l r t-, percent. dividend. The . course which I would therefore earnestly press upon the consideration of Great Western proprietors is, that they should again forego the balance Which 'may be available for dividend. This balance would probably nearly discharge the most inconvenient part of our debt, wiz., that which is raised upon preference stock ; it would be a re serve to meet Mr. Atkinson's views in respect of the unsettled accouats—it would be an additional, and what is practically more important, a visible security for debenture holders; and it would, doubtless, put the Company upon better terms with the money market. And, looking to the present condition of the money market, more favourable for our interests than we are likely ,to see again for ten years, it follows that now is the time for making arrangements which will greatly , influence cur prosperity for that period. Are these consi derations such as would compensate the Proprie tors for the sacrifice—temporary only—by which they may be realised ? _ There is another topic which must come before the proprietors at the February meeting, which is similarly associated with the future prosperity of the company, and I venture to trespass a little further upon your indulgence to submit to the proprietors some observations upon the contem plated measure for closing the capital account. Up to June, 1857, the Great Western railway was still growing in mileage, and no comparison of mileage rates would be of much value, but since that date the whole of the works have been opened for traffic with the following results.: Average receipts per mile per week on the Great Western railway, for the half-years ending Dec. 31, '57. June 30, 'iB. Dec. 31, '5B. £65 16s, £5B 12s. £66 19s. I am ready to grant that the times have not favoured such a development of traffic as we have a right to expect upon the average of a series of years ; but when we consider the small increase above recorded, we can easily understand how the dividends must be diminished if the capital cost of mileage already existing is allowed materially to increase by the further expenditure of capital. On the other hand, if the capital remains' stationary, the increased earnings, whether large or small, must become an addition to the dividend distributed amongst the unprotected stock.—l am, sir, &c., A GREAT WESTERN PROPRIETOR January 3, 1859. 0 This item needs apology. I have assumed the working expenses with interest and other charges the same as last half year, whereas it is evident that with an increase cf traffic amounting to £lOO,OOO, there is a probability of increased work ing . expenses, but it is also probable that there will be a further diminution under the head of interest; it is also to be remem bered that the substitution of coal for coke on 715 miles of rail way (including the Shrewsbury and South Wales lines), must have materially aided the efforts of the board to keep down the expenses, so that it is probable that the ultimate result of the calculation will not be seriously affected by the inaccuracy which maT be anticipated in this item per Be, MONETkRiPANWI COMMERCIAL iLIVERPOOL, Monday Ev'enint There has been a, pretty good demand fo r CottoA to-day, and prices of all descriptions, were firmly maintained.

'The London agent of the Royal Insurance Office of Liverpool writes to the following effect : In the list of losses sustained by the various English Insurance. Companies through the recent fire at Valpa raiso, I observe the statement that the ...u ) .L Company has suffered t o th e extent of £54,000. in This surance is not quite correct. Our total gross. liabilities amount to £48,400, but as this company has always underwritten half its risks at Valparaiso with another office. bable net loss (allowinm --i! our pro- over insurance in certain cases) 'will not much ° exceeti £20,000. The Tamar, which sailed this day (Monday), for the Brazils, took out about £l,OOO in specie, nearly all in silver. The report of the Port Phillip and Colonial Gold Mininr , Company, p re p ara t ory t o t h e i r meet ing on the 12th inst., states that the balance at the credit of profit and loss is 110,702, out of which a dividend of ls. per share is recommended on the 97,500 shares of the company. The profit of the Clunes Quartz Crushing for the nine months prior to July last averaged £l,lBO per month, and during July, August, and September it was £1,591 per month. The last accounts are to the 13th of November, and are satisfactory. In Birmingham and the district towns there are unmistakeable indications that a good spring trade will be transacted. The travellers who returned from their journeys at Christmas have not yet gone out ; but the letter orders which have come in show that, in almost every direction, the country trade is very active. The signs of revival in the foreign trade arc also most decided. Advices from Australia inform us that, although the markets are overstocked •with some kinds of goods, in general hardware the evil is less than in any other department. Orders to a considerable amount are on hand, and others are expected ; but some degree of caution will be required to avoid a repetition of the evils of last year. Moderate shipments. regulated by good information, will be sure to be remunerative ; buthap-hazard style of export, which brought ruin to so many, must be Carefully eschewed. The American merchants and shippers are in good heart. Brother Jonathan was taught a salutary lecson by the crash of this time twelve months, and he seems now to be con ducting his transactions on a sound basis. Trade has been steadily reviving. At present excellent orders are being received, and a first rate spring busi ness is almost a certainty. The foreign trade other wise is steadily progressing. and altogether the present year seems likely to prove one of em u _ parative prosperity.
