HONE Y and

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday specu-
lators operated to a large extent, say 10,000 bales—the
sales for the day being 20,000 bales. Compared with
Friday's rates prices were lid per lb. dearer for nearly
all descriptions.—Railway Shares were worse, and lower

prices were taken.
In the markets which regulate the Corn Averages
for the Kingdom, the quantity of Wheat sold during
the week to Saturday last was 100,427 quarters.
The Flanders mail has not yet arrived, and there are

no later ship arrivals.
The project for a railway to the Pacific has been
taken up as none but Americans would take it up, viz ,
in a spirit of enthusiasm. At St. Louis a convention
has been held, at which a resolution was introduced
calling upon Congress to act promptly in regard to the
Pacific Railroad, and other interesting proceedings took
place, of which we may give an outline. A letter was
read from Colonel Fremont, requesting the Convention
not to designate any route across the Rocky Mountains.
He believed the pass between the head of the Arkansas
and the Rio del Norte the most practicable and nearest
to the Pacific. General Persifor F. Smith has sent an
exploring party, with a view to report before the termina-
tion of the next Congress. Mr. Benton dwelt

long and eloquently on the importance and nationality 0
the road. Four hundred and sixty-five delegates were
present, of whom seventeen were from Missouri, three
from Pennsylvania, twenty- five from New York, thirteen
from Ohio, thirty-one from Tenessee, three from Indiana,
two hundred and sixty-four from Kentucky, forty-seven
from Illinois, three from lowa, and five from Michigan.
A delegate from Louisiana offered a resolution, which
was passed, that a committee of one be appointed from
each State, to draft a memorial to Congress, in which
should be presented the objects designed by the Conven-
tion. Judge Birch here presented a resolution, recom-
mending 48 degrees as the parallel of latitude for the
best route for the railroad. The Committee ,on
Resolutions reported a series of resolutions for
consideration, setting forth the object and spirit
of the convention as truly national, and observing
neither party, sectional, or local interests, and recom-
mending Congress to make immediate provision for the
construction of a great trunk road to the Pacific, in
California, with a branch to Oregon, from some point
on the Mississippi, or frontier, as may be found eligible.
MI the eastern lines now tending towards the west may
be considered parts of the same. Also, that Congress
establish military posts for the protection of settlers and
emigrants, and that grants of land be made encouraging
population, and that Congress be memorialised to con-
struct a telegraph on the road, and that a committee of
five be appointed to prepare and publish an address to
the people of the Union, urging them to procure the
action of Congress. The Hon. J. W. Thompson, of Indiana,
addressed the convention in an able and eloquent manner,
and offered,the following amendment:—" That the grand
trunk railroad be constructed with branches to St. Louis,
Memphis, and Chicago, and that a committee of fifty
be sent to the Memphis Convention, requesting the co-
operation of that body."
The report of the topographicaljengineers, as to the
various routes for the railroad, was referred to a com-
mittee. Some parties were in favour of a resolution
being introduced, that Congress should be memorialized
to favour the immediate commencement of the road, at a
point west of the organized states, to be continued to
San Francisco, but this was opposed, and it was said that
the road west of the organized states would be com-
pleted within ten years. The Convention: ultimately
adjourned after adopting a resolution to re-assemble at
Philadelphia on the Ist April next, to resume the consi-
deration of the subject.-
Guadeloupe papers of September 26 have come to hand,
and the following are extracts :
" The colony enjoys a perfect calm at present, thanks
to the energy of the Governor. The President of the
Court of Appeals and the Commissary of Police,
Messrs. Hardoin and Babeau, had been called to France
to give an account of their conduct. They both belonged
to the Socialist party. Everything has been re-or-
ganized on the European system again, under the pro-
tection of France. Five hundred francs of indemnity
for each slave was the sum fixed upon to be given to the
planters.
" We see that 14,790,334 kilogrammes of sugar had
been exported on the Ist September. The harvest was
ended, but the produce was less by one-half than in
former years.
" The Administration is actively engaged in the es-
tablishment of places of asylum, or, rather, of civil
hospitals, for the sick, the miserable, and the aged, who
are now as thick as blackberries at Guadeloupe ever
since the emancipation of the slaves. The object in-
tended to be attained, if possible, is to prevent mendicity,
which would otherwise become the pest of the colony.
One of these hospitals has been established at Daulle;
the situation of the other, which it was desired to place
at Grande Terre, is not yet decided upon."
The exportations from this colony have been, from
January Ist to September Ist, 1848 and 1849, as
