Treasurer's Office, Nov 27, 1850.
The President's Message had given general satis-
faction.

There are news from Jamaica to the 14th ult. by
this arrival, but they merely state in general terms
that the ravages of cholera continued to be appalling.

In the Senate Mr. Benton had given notice of
several Bills granting lands to construct a railroad
from St. Louis to San Francisco.

Relative to the prospects of the session the Herald
remarks—

" We are happy to learn from the capital that the
best feelings prevail among the Members of both
Houses, and that according to present appearances there
is no danger of a renewal of the exciting scenes which
characterised the last session. This can be accounted
for by the fact that during the recess the members of
both Houses have had an opportunity of consulting with
their constituents, and informing themselves of the sen-
timents of the mass of the people throughout the whole
country. They have discovered that they are pleased
with the adjustment made at the last session, and opposed
to further agitation. We reminded them frequently
during the last session that in not coming to a conclu-
sion on the exciting subjects which engaged their at-
tention they were acting counter to the wishes of those
who elevated them to office. They may have discovered
that such was the case, and that while a storm raged in
Washington the rest of the country was comparatively
calm."

We learn from South Carolina that the Legislature
had resolutions under discussion, declaring their
determination not to elect United States' Senators to
fill vacancies, and instructing Senator Butler, and
the representatives of the State, not to take their
seats in Congress ; also, a resolution instructing a
committee to report a Bill of non-intercourse with
all States that throw obstacles in the way of the
enforcement of the Fugitive Slave-law ; and another,
with a long preamble of grievances, declaring that,
in the judgment of the Legislature, secession was the
proper remedy, and that South Carolina, sooner
than submit to the aggressions of the Federal Con-
gress, will interpose her own sovereignty to shield
her citizens from future outrages and wrongs at every
hazard.

The Governor of Virginia, in his message to the
Legislature, says—
" Virginia, and I think, all the slave-holding States,
can end ought calmly, but explicitly, declare that the
repeal of the Fugitive Slave-law, or any essential modi-
fication of it, is a mutual repeal of the Union. The faith-
ful execution of this law is, in my judgment, the only
means now left by which the Union can be preserved
with honour to ourselves and peace to the country."
He also says—
" That a declaration on the part of the South will
give strength and great moral weight to the Conserva-
tive patriots of the North, now struggling for the con-
stitution and for the supremacy of the law; who are, in
truth, fighting the battle of the Union. There were never
more important trusts committed to the hands of any
man. Their triumph is the victory of order over anarchy,
of peace over bloodshed and fire. Their defeat is the
knell of the Union, for if the fanatics of the North come
into the halls of Congress with power to control the
action of it, a few years only will elapse before they
throw away every appearance of restraint, and abolish
slavery in the States—with the alternative presented to
us of submitting to the action or to a dissolution of the
Union. There could not be one voice of the many thou-
sands who would not shed their blood, surely, after the
sacrifices the South has made, but would say that it is
but asking little when she demands of Congress to be
faithful to the pledges it has given. and of the non-slave-
holding; States to abide by the constitution of the country
and the laws made declaratory of its obligations."
Advices from St. Domingo City to Novmher 2d,
state that through the intervention of the English and
Americans a treaty of peace has been concluded be-
tween the Dominicans and Haytiens. There had been
some bribk fighting between the contending parties
previous to the arrangements, but no serious losses on
either side. Au English man-of-war was in the port
during the negotiation of the treaty.
The remaining prisoners connected with the Cuban
expedition have been released.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, DEc. 4.
EXCHANGE.—We have to report a large business in
sterling, French and Bremen bills, but little on the other
places for want of drawers; prices ranged low in the
beginning, but closed firm at our highest quotations.
The principal sales which ha►e taken place were—on
Londan, at 9i to 9k per cent. premium; Paris, sf. Bic.
to sf. 20c ; Antwerp, sf. 184 c. to sf. 20c.; Amsterdam,
41 to 41i; Ilamburgh, 36k to 36i; and Bremen, 79ic.
to 791 c.
Cotton—Since the departure of the last steamer the
market has declined about one quarter of a cent, conse-
quent upon the unexpectedly unfavourable advices from
abroad, per Europa. Since our last, there has been but
little spirit exhibited in the buying, but we have no
further change to note in prices. The receipts of cotton
at all the shipping ports are 454,481 bales, against
501,460 to the same dates last year—a decrease this sea-
son of 46,979 bales. The total foreign export this
year is 89,243 bales more than last, say 69,953 bales
increase to Great Britain, 14,063 increase to France,
3,896 increase to the North of Europe, and 1,331 in-
crease to other foreign ports. The shipment from south-
ern to northern ports are 31,827 bales less this season
than last; and there is a decrease in stock of 79,422 bales.
The sales for the week ended the 30th ult. were 4,200
bales; and since, 3,0007-as follows:

Tobacco—The market for Kentucky, owing to the ad-

vannah, 45c.; 44 cases Florida, 20c. to 40c., four months;

bought up on speculation by parties here and in Phila-
delphia, consisting of 3,000 cases Connecticut, 2,500 Pen-
sylvania, 2,000 Ohio, and 1,000 this state. Higher
prices are of course now asked, but the market is for the
time being unsettled. Manufactured remains quiet but
firm. The importations fur the month of November
were-1,596 bales Havannsh, 1,510 ditto Cuba, 516 ditto
St. Domingo, 200 ditto Yara, 172 ditto Costa Rica,
