FOREIGN RELATIONS.

I am happy in being able to say that no unfavourable
change in our foreign relations has taken place since the
message at the opening of the last session of Congress.
We are at peace with all nations, and we enjoy in an

urninent degree the blessingif of that peace, in a pros-
p and growing commerce, and in all the forms of
amicable national intercourse. The unexampled growth
of the country, the present amount of its population, an..l
its ample means of s:l-protection, assure for it the pro-
tection of all nations; whilst it is trusted that its eharae-
fer for justice, and a regard to the rights of other status,
will cause that respect to- be readily and cheerfully paid.
London, England, 1850-12-18

FORNIA.

There being no mint in California, I am informed that
the labourers in the mines are compelled to dispose of
their gold dust at a large discount. This appears to me
to be a heavy and unjust tax upon the labour of those
employed in extracting this precious metal; and I doubt
not you will be disposed, at the earliest period possible,
to relieve them from it by the establishment of a
mint. In the meantime, as an assayer's office is es-
tablished there, I would respectfully submit for
your consideration the propriety of authorising gold I
bullion, which has bean assayed and stamped, to be
received in payment of Government dues. I cannot con-
ceive that the treasury would suffer any loss by such a
provision, which will at once raise bullion to its par
value, and thereby save (if I am rightly informed) many
millions of dollars to the labourers, which are now paid
in brokerage to convert this precious metal into avail-
able funds. This discount upon their hard earnings is
a heavy tax, and every effort should bo made by the
Government to relieve them from so great a burden.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 1
More than three-fourths of our populatidn are en-
gaged in the cultivation of the soil. The commercial,
manufacturing, and navigating interests, are all to a
great extent dependent on the agricultural. It is, there-
tore, the most important interest of the nation, and has
a just claim to the fostering care and protection of the
Government, so far as they can be extended consistently
with the provisions of the constitution. As this cannot
be done by the ordinary modes of legislation, I respect-
fully recommend the estab'ishment of an agricultural
bureau, to be charged with the duty of giv-
ing to this leading branch of American in-
dustry the encouragement which it so well de-
serves. In view of the immense mineral resources of
our country, provision should also be made for the em-
ployment of a competent mineralogist and chemist, who
should be required, under the direction of the head of
the bureau, to collect specimens of the ♦arious minerals
of our country, and to ascertain by careful analysis, their
respective elements and proportions, and their adapta-
tion to useful purposes. He should also be required to
examine and report upon the qualities of different soils,
and the manures best calculated to improve their pro-
ductiveness. By publishing the results of such experi-
ments, with suitable explanations, and by the collection
and distribution of rare seeds and plants, with instruc-
tions as to the best system of cultivation, much may be
done to promote this great national interest.

PRICE OF COTTON.—NEW YORK, DEC. 4.—The pre-
vailing interest, at this stage of the season, is to en-
courage over•estimates of the probable yield, to induce
an early delivery and very low prices, knowing that
when the sad position of this crop is properly understood
abroad, a wild scramble for a share of it must inevitably
ensue. I may occasionally slightly vary the relative
figures I now affix; but I feel well assured I cannot add
anything to New Orleans and Mobile combined, which
must close under 1,230,000 bales.

THE LATE CENSUS.

I❑ compliance with the Act of Congress, passed on
the 23d of May, 1850, providing, among other things,
for taking the seventh census, a superintendent was ap-
pointed, and all other measures adopted which were
deemed neces:ary to insure the prompt and faithful
performance of that duty. The appropriation already
made will, it is believed, be sufficient to defray the whole
expenses of the work, but further legislation may be
necessary in regard to the compensation of some of the
marshals of the territories. It will also be proper to
make provision by law, at an early day, for the publica-
tion of such abstracts of the returns as the public in-
terests may require.

THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC CANAL.

A convention was negotiated bt-tween the United
States and Great Britain, in April last, for facilitating
and protecting the construction of a ship canal be!creen
;he Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and for ofl er purposes.
This it Etrument has since been ratified by the con-
tracting parties, the exchange of ratifications baa bean
eft; eta d, and proclamation thereof has been duly made.
In addition to the stipulations contained in this con-
vention, two other obkets remain to be accomplished
between the contracting powers.
First, the designation and establishment of a free port
rt each end of the canal.

Second, an agrennent fixing the distance from the
shore within which bell4,Terent mnratime operations shall
not be carried on. On these points there is little
doubt that the two Governments will come to an under-
standing.

between teat state and the territory of New Mexico, was,
immediately on its passage, transmitted by express to
the Governor of Texas, to be laid by him before the
General Assembly for its agreement thereto. Its receipt
was duly acknowledged, but no official information bas

ITALY.

A letter from Rome, of the 3d, in the Risorgimento
of Turin, announces that the Austrian troops were on
the following day to resume all the positions they had
formerly occupied at Perugia, and other places of
Umbria and of the Marches. The persons accused of
having burnt several confessioaals in the latter days
of the Roman revolution have been sentenced to fif-
teen years' bard labour. CICERUACCIIIO, who has
absconded, is one of the conth.coned. The affair of
the burning of several cardinals' carriages is not yet
concluded.

The Osscreatore ?Westin°, a semi- official paper of
the Austrian Government, quotes a letter from Ancona
of the 29th ult., containing some very severe rein irks
on the last Papal decrees, on the organization of the
communes, which are considered as the completion of
the promises made in the motu-proprio of the 12th of
September, 1849. The following passage, under the
circumstances, is worth quoting :
It may, therefore, be conclud« d that the rules
constituting the principal bases of poii:ical, financial,
and municipal administration are nearly the same
(except in some non-essential parts) as those
which governed the Papal States in the remotest
times arid which are insufficient to pacify the
inhabitants of that country, whose irritation daily
increases on account of the heavy taxes to which they
are subjected by the Government. Such is the deplora-
ble situation of the Government of the Holy See, which,
believing itself secure for the present at Rome and in the
Comarca on account of the presence of the French
troops, and in the rest of the Romagna, the Marches,
and part of Umbria, because of their occupation by the
Austrian troops, forgets the past, neglects the present,
and does not look to the future."
The Statuto of Florence states, from Leghorn, that
on the 7th the apartments of the sculptor GUERRAZZI,
advocate FRANZI, and Signor BISCARDI were searched
by the police, but without any further result.

SLAVERY QUESTION.

It was hardly to have been expected that the series
of measures passed at your last session, with the view
of healing the sectional differences which had sprung
up from the slavery and territorial questions should
at once have realized their beneficent purpose. All
mutual concession, in the nature of a compromise
must necessarily be unwelcome to men of extreme
opinions. And though without such cobeessions our
Constitution could not have been formed, and cannot
be permanently sustained, yet we have seen them
made the subject of bitter controversy in both sections
of the Republic. It required many months of discussion
and deliberation to secure the concurrence of a majority
of Congress in their favour. It would be strange if they
bad been received with immediate approbation by people
and states prejudiced and heated by the exciting con-
troversies of their representatives. I believe those mea-
sures to have been required by the circumstances and
condition of the country. I believe they were necessary
to allay asperities and animosities that were rapidly
alienating one section of the country from another, and
destroying those fraternal sentiments which are the
strongest supports of the constitution. They were
adopted in the spirit of conciliation, and for the purpose
of conciliation. I believe that a great majority of our
fellow-citizens sympathise in that spirit, and that pur-
pose, and in the main approve, and are prepared in all
respects to sustain these enactments. I cannot doubt
that the American people, bound together by kindred
blood and common traditions, still cherish a paramount
regard for the union of their fathers; and that they are
ready to rebuke any attempt to violate its integrity, to
disturb the compromises on which it is based, or to resist
the laws which have been enacted under its authority.

The series of measures to which I have alluded are
regarded by me as a settlement in principle and snb-
stance—a final settlement—of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embraced. Most of these subjects,
indeed, are beyond your reach, as the legislation which
disposed of them was, in its character, final and irrevo-
cable. It may be presumed from the opposition which
they all encountered, that none of those measures was
free from imperfections, hut in their mutual dependence
and connexion they formed a system of compromise, the
most conciliatory, and best for the entire country, that
could be obtained from conflicting sectional interests and
opinions.
For this reason I recommend your adherence to the
adjustment established by those measures, until time and
experience shall demonstrate the necessity of further le-
gislation to guard against evasion or abuse.
By that adjustment we have been rescued from the
wide and boundless agitation that surrounded us, and
have a firm, distinct, and legal ground to rest upon.
And the occasion, I trust, will justify me in exhorting
my countrymen to rally upon and maintain that ground
as the best, it not the only means, of restoring peace and
quiet to the country, and maintaining inviolate the in-
tegrity of the country.

General PEux.En, who has been appointed Prussian

has left for Rotenburg, in llesse.

The Government of Wirtemburg has no intention

The editors of the New German Gazette of Frank-
fort, who have just heen expelled by the police from
that city, have been forbidden to approach it within
twenty miles. This measure is the first of the kind
adopted since 1148 ; it was taken on the demand of
different German States. The Gazette has ceased to
appear. The names of the editors are Dr. GUNTHER,
Dr. KUNING, and Dr. WEYDEMAYER.

The Poil Gazette of Frankfort, of the 14th, states
that the Alinister of the Elector of HESSE in the Ger-
manic Diet has proposed to reduce the Federal troops
in the Electorate, which were increased in conse-
quence of the intervention of the Prussians, to the
number originally fixed. The German Journal an-
nounces that the 7 th:corps d'armile of Prussia is to pass
the winter in the Electorate.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
A rumour that it was the intention of General
VON DER HOST to make a general attack on the
Danish lines having prevailed at Berlin on the 13th,
the Prussian Government, on the 14th, sent a confi-
thutial diplomatic agent to the Lieutenance, to in-
form them that, in the case of such an event, the
Cabinet of Berlin could no longer be guarantee for
the preservation of the rights of the Duchies, nor
hinder the Danes from occupying Holstein. A new
defeat would place the Duchies at the conqueror's
mercy.

FOREIGN RELATIONS.

I am happy in being able to say that no unfavourable
change in our fcreign relations has taken place since the
message at the opening of the last session of Congress.
We are at peace with all nations, and we enjoy in an

eminent degree the blessings of that peace, in a pros-
p•-rows and growing commerce, and in all the forms of
amicable national intercourse. The unexampled growth
of the country, the present amount of ita population, and
its ample means of self-protection, assure for it the pro-
tection of all nations; whilst it is trusted that its charac-
ter for justice, and a regard to the rights of other states,
will cause that respect to be readily and cheerfully paid.

SLAVERY QUESTION.

It was hardly to have been expected that the series
of measures passed at your last session, with the view
of healing the sectional differences which had sprung
up from the slavery and territorial questions should
at once have realized their beneficent purpose. All
mutual concession, in the nature of a compromise
must necessarily be unwelcome to men of extreme
opinions. And though without such concessions our
Constitution could not hava been formed, and cannot
be permanently sustained, yet we have seen them
made the subject of bitter controversy in both sections
of the Republic. It required many months of discussion
and deliberation to secure the concurrence of a majority
of Congress in their favour. It would be strange if they
had been received with immediate approbation by people
and states prejudiced and hated by the exciting con-
troversies of their representatives. I believe those mea-
sures to have been required by the circumstances and
condition of the country. I believe they were necessary
to allay asperities and animosities that were rapidly
alienating one section of the country from another, and
destroying those fraternal sentiments which are the
strongest supports of the constitution. They were
adopted in the spirit of conciliation, and for the purpose
of conciliation. I believe that a great majority of our
fellow-citizens sympathise in that spirit, and that pur-
pose, and in the main approve, and are prepared in all
respects to sustain these enactments. I cannot doubt
that the American people, bound together by kindred
blood and common traditions, still cherish a paramount
regard for the union of their fathers; and that they are
ready to rebuke any attempt to violate its integrity, to
disturb the compromises on which it is based, or to resist
the laws which have been enacted under its authority.
The series of measures to which I have alluded are
regarded by me as a settlement in principle and snb-
stance—a final settlement—of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embraced. Most of these subjects,
indeed, are beyond your reach, as the legislation which
disposed cf them was, in its character, final and irrevo-
cable. It may be presumed from the opposition which
they all encountered, that none of those measures was
free from imperfections, but in their mutual dependence
and connexion they formed a system of compromise, the
most conciliatory, and best for the entire country, that
could be obtained from conflicting sectional interests and
opinions.
For this reason I recommend your adherence to the
adjustment established by those measures, until time and
experience shall demonstrate the necessity of further le-
gislation to guard against evasion or abuse.
By that adjustment we have been rescued from the
wide and boundless agitation that surrounded us, and
have a firm, distinct, and legal ground to rest upon.
And the occasion, I trust, will justify me in exhorting
my countrymen to rally upon and maintain that ground
as the best, if not the only means, of restoring peace and
quiet to the country, and maintaining inviolate the in-
tegrity of the country.

RA IL WA Y INTELLIGENCE.

SHREWSBURY AND MR MINGH AM AND
LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN.

The differences existing between these companies,
ari,ing chiefly from rival claims to the through
traffic between Birmingham and Liverpool, impose
not only an immense loss upon the companies, but
are extremely detrimental to the interests of the
public.

The Stour Valley line has approached completion
for some months past, but owing to various circum-
stances it continues closed against the public.
To arrive at Shrewsbury from Birmingham a tra-
veller must take one of two routes, the inconveniences
of both being pretty equal. If desirous of proceeding
by the Shrewsbury and Birmingham line he must
travel from Birmingham to Wolverhampton, a dis-
tance of fourteen mites, before he reaches the railway,
and, objecting to this mode of conveyance, he must
proceed from Birmingham by the London and North-
Western line to Stafford, and thence by the Shrop-
shire Union (London and North-Western) to Shrews•
bury. This route is fifteen miles longer than that by
the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, but the omnibus
nuisance is thereby avoided. A serious opposition has
long existed between the Shrewsbury and Birming-
ham and London and North-Western Companies, and
until these differences are adjusted, which it is
thought might easily be arranged by Mr. Gore and
Mr. Glyn, their respective' chairmen, the companies
and the public will be sufferers. It is now said that
within two months the btour Valley line will be
opened as far as Wedne:bury, thus leaving a distance
of four miles uncovered between that town and the
Shrewsbury Junction at Wolverhampton, when there
appears no reason, except designed delay, why the
whole length should not be travelled, and the com-
munication between Shrewsbury and Birmingham
completely effected. The inhabitants of Birmingham,
Wolverhampton, and Shrewsbury, and more especially
those of the mining districts, have a great interest in
the settlement of these injurious quarrels.

MONDAY

GAS IN THE CITY.

On S2turday, at twelve o'clock precisely, the chair-
man and some of the directors of the Great Central
Gas Consumers' Company, accompanied by Mr. Croll,
their clef engineer and his assistants, assembled in
Whitechapel, and immediately opened their leviathan
main at the widest part of the road, where Commer-
cisl•street crosses.

As soon as the aperture was opened the atmos-
pheric air rushed out in a rapid current, and con-
tieued flaring through for about twenty minutes; by
that time the air was impregnated with gw, and con-
tinued for about ten minutes, smelling each moment
stronger and stronger, until at last a stream of pure
gas was emitted. The cap was then put upon the
pipe, and the ground closed. The engineers and di-
rectors immediately posted off in carriages to a
branch of the main pipe in Lothbury, where the same
operation was repeated with the same success. Mr.
Croll's assistants had been stationed in about thirty
different parts of the City, at the extremity of the
main pipes and at a stated moment, fixed by Mr.
Croil, the caps being taken off the pipes, and the at-
mospheric air cleared out, the manifestation of the
presence cf pure gas appeared.
Wire gauzes upon Sir Humphrey Davy's principle
were used at the orifices of the pipes. Inspectors
had been sent round to secure the openings of the ser-
vice-pipes throughout the City, and every precaution
was used to prevent accidents.
It is a remarkable fact that the extensive works of
this company, the greatest in the world, have been
commenced and completed, and the pipes have been
laid and charged with gas, without a single mischance.

GREAT WESTERN.

On Friday Captain Lafllin, the Government In-
spector, went over that portion of this company's
Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line running from
Westbury to From-, and which is expected to prove
the most remunerative part of the line, as it will con-
nect the clothing-trade and collieries of Frome with
the manufacturing and other districts. Frome is
about 12 miles from Bath and 104 from London. The
line was to have been opened this time last autumn,
but, owing to the depression in railway affairs, ex-
penditure and progress were suspended. Its cost has
been about 100,0001., and it will require about
60,0001. more to carry the line to -Warminster. It
will be opened in a few days for public traffic.
