BERLIN, Ow. 11.

Herr con ',louverll, who is acting as Minister of
the Interior, was formerly at the head of the famous
government commercial establishment known as the
" Beehandlung," afterwards :Minister of Finance',
and soberquently till now civil governor of the pro-
vince of Mark-Brandenbarg. Two gentlemen who
have been sent for and have had conferences with
the lis.gent are spoken of for the permanent appoint-
ment. The first is Herr con itzleben, who wee
for some time Minister for Foreign Affairs previous
to the events of 1848, and the other is Herr Kohl-
wetter, formerly Minister of the Home Department,
and now civil governor of the Rhenish Provinces,
residing at Aix-la-Chapelle.
The establishment of the Prince of Prussia at
Coblentz, which has hitherto been conducted on the
footing of a viceregal court, is ordered to be broken
up forthwith, and the officials composing it are in-
remitted to repair immediately to Berlin. The
Princess of Prussia, however, will not arrive before
the middle of November. _

t hear it confidently {lll/01td that the character
of the Regent has not been generally understood,
and that it is misrepresented either purposely or in-
advertently. I have it from persons in his imme-
diate nine that he is by no moans opposed to the
constitution, and they further assure me that it is
his deliberate and voluntary determination to take
the oath to respect and maintain the constitution on
the opening of the Chambers next weak.
Amoogst the many changes that are in course of
preparation one of the most important ones is the
complete revision of the Prussian diplomatic body
abroad, it being felt that in many continental courts
the interests of Prussia are confided to very indiffe-
rent representatives, who follow too literally Talley-
rand's celebrated advice to a young diplomatist,
" Point de Me." I have reason to believe that until
all the arrangements are made no official announce-
ment will be published. The only name that I can
mention to-day is that of the Privy-Councillor von
Usedom, formerly envoy at Rome, who is designated
for the post of anibmeadoe at the court of one of the
first-rate powers of Europe.

NEW YORE, Oor. 2.
The lama and impotent conclusion to which the
Atlantic Cable has oome has almost spread a gloom
over the community. Most people an beginning to
het a little ashamed of having been wrought up to
such a pitch of excitement before the work was
thoroughly accomplished ' • but the great point of the
enterprise was. after all. the laying of the cable it-
self, and this has been satisfactorily attained. We
know that the thing can be dame, and that messages
can he transmitted, and these are surely things to
rejoice over. Moreover, I must say that, in spite of
the aspeisioes of the Timer, the demonstration herr
was not by any means a vainglorious one. The
feelings which found vent in the New York celebra-
tion were far len those of gratified vanity than
hearty gratilleation at the prospect of a
closer anion with Ragland, and of addi-
tional guarantees for peace and good will.
I think few ovations have ever taken pleas
in the spirit of which there was less to be regretted.
It seemed to me a convincing proof that America is
the only country in the world between which and
you a real alliance—that is, one based on popular
sympathy—is possible. Of the ultimate efficiency
of the present cable little or no hope is entertained ;
Withers ism) appearance of despondence in the public
mind. On the contrary, I feel satisfied that money
would be forthcoming much more readily for a
second attempt than for the first Everything is
for the present, however, being lost sight of in the
dinlotfariparation fur the approaching Presidential
Gam .
iecovery of gold in considerable quantities
in Western Kansas is drawing white emigrants into
the state with increased rapidity, and may very
possibly make up the number required to send one
member to the House of Representatives much
wooer than the supporters of the English Compro-
mise Bill expect or desire. You may remember that
one of the provision, of that measure was that if
Isaias refused to come into the Union under the
conditions which it offered her, she should not be
admitted until her population was sufficiently
large to entitle her to send a represents-
tire to the Lower House. She rejected
the conditions, and a controversy has since
arisen as to whether the restriction which was made
contingent on her rejection was binding or not.
The gold discoveries may solve the problem and save
the necessity for any diecussion. Gold, much as
it has been abased, has done wooden of various
aorta in these latter days ; above all, in peopling
desolate wastes and founding civilised communitiesin
the remotest corners of the earth. It bids fair bow
to exercise a most important influence upon toe des-
tidies of this continent, in giving the tide of popula-
tion an additional impetus north-westward. What
with the Frazer River diggings and the Nebraska
diggings we shall soon have a continuous line of
veiled country across the continent from New York
to Vancouver', Island. When that immense multitude
finds that its van has reached the Western Ocean,
and tarns its front southward in search of new lads
to till, slavery will have to seek refuge in the
pampas of the southern continent. The North will
clearly have no room for it. The Soutierners have
been making desperate attempts for some time back
to get the long-projected road to the Pacific, the
construction of which the government talks of un-
dertaking, made from Texas scram to California,
thus having the starting points in their own terri-
tory. The North, of course, demands, in right of
the greater numbers that are to use it, that i: should
take a north-westerly direction, and a mighty war
of intrigue has been going on on the subject for
some time in Washington. The gold discoveries in
IL &EWA and in British Columbia bid fair to cut this
knot also, to the immense chagrin of the glove-
holder. Nature herself seems to tight on the side of
the Free-smilers.

A Meal between England and Niearagns, the
lending provaions of which are precisely similar to
the Car•Griwri treaty, coniluded a short time ago,
has been published by the New York liars as
having been actually concluded by Sir W. Gore
Ouseley, and has excited some situation amongst
the " manifest destiny' men. The government at
Washington denies all knowledge of it. You soild
probably know the truth of the matter sooner
than I shall.
