The Washington cormtpondent of the New. YorA
Herald, writing on the Ithi says,—" It is understood the
President, in his messagerwilbcome• out pretty definitely
upon the subject of the Pacific• railroad, and in such a
manner as to satisfy the strictest constructionist. He has
declared that the project, as pressed: the last Congress,

(Senator Gwinn's neveientild have his sanction; and
he has intimated pretty deal- that if' each a bill is passed
by Congress during his presidency, it will have to over-
come a veto before it becomes the• law of the land. The
President's feeling upon the suliject of internal improve-
ments by the general government may be gathered from
the fart that he declares he sees no reason now to change
the views he formerly held on that question, and that his
votes in Congress at the time Amy' tful'y his present posi-
tion, The Garay and Tehuantepec grant will be endorsed
by the administration, and the tr'egtry negotiated by
Judge Cenkling, recognising the Sloo grant, will not
be noticed in any way, an the ground that there was no
authority given to Conklingto negotiate atreaty, and that
the Sloo grant is a diplomatic fraud, to -get rid of the
Garay grant. The President will recommend - a general
system of reciprocal trade with the British provinces, of
all articles the growth and product of each ;cninitry, and
the admission of fish, duty free, upon our fishertnen being
permitted tofishmarestrictedlyem the coashrofiNovaScotia
and New Brunswick. The proposition of the Engligs Go-
vernment to permit colonial vessels to obtain-American
registers will not lie opposed, but the suggestion-to threw
open the coasting trade of California will be, rejected as
unconstitutional. A complete revision of thetariff will,.
it is 4 confidently stared, be suggested; and with* this-view
the Secretary of the: Treasury is busily engami,in,--pre=
paring voluminous; *fats,- to show the consumption.of the
severalarticles of trade; and will suggest important mucli:.
fications in all. such articles as come under the-head-of
necessaries: It is yet- dnsibtful whether any material
modifications will be made in the duty on iron ; but; not-

withstanding the most urgnnt remonstrances, of "t

manufacture-rs of railroad irOre in the United States, :it is
believed n'repeal of .thedlity out that particular articitiwill
be recommended. The Secretary of the Navy will/ recom,
mend au. entire revision orthepersonnel and meerkel bf
the .navy, being funk impressed with the worthlessuess of
the existing. system. A retired list and increase of pay to
the sailors will. form a prominent feature in his report.
Perhaps. the mostimportarrt featuxeof the message willte
its allusion t*-the position: of. the Sandwich Islam*. and.
the bold avowal =of the importance- or their being annexed
to the United: States. Depend. upon it the President will
take this grouted, and it will;. probal*,. be the immeiliite;

The news fromt-California is meagre. The city of Sonora

amount to about $300,000 dollars. The mining newsi-is
encouraging,. The Supreme aunt of California has made,
an important delis' ion, deelarinw valid all grants merle in,
accordance with the Mexican law. The effect of this
be to oust hundreds from the lots held by them for years,
and restore them eta the originel.grantees. It is considered.
a death blow.to the squatters, and will cause mamma'
property to charge• hands, by the mere operation of. law..

wheat crop in the south were excellent. In Peru, all' waa
quiet, and there was no prospect of a war with Brazil..
Late accounts from Yucatan state that the cholera was
raging there to. a fearful extent. At Moyda the. deaths
averaged one hundred per day. Thousands. of railroad
hands and workmen had been discharged, and works sus-
pended in the Western States, in consequence.of the strin-
gency of the money markets. The yellow fever had ceased
its terrible ravages in nearly all the cities, and towns of
Louisiana Mississippi, and Alabama, and, the frightened
people were fast returning to their homes and avocations.

COTTON.—(Frons W. P. Wright's Circular, Nov. 8)
The stock of unsold cotton in this market is small, and
composed chiefly of grades below middling ; our domestic
spinners taking alarm at the frost reports prevailing during
the past two weeks, purchased rather freely up. to Wednes-
day last, since when their operations have been limited.
There are few, if any, orders, executable, at present, on
hand for foreign account ; and shipments on American
1 account are prevented by the large margin required, or by
difficulty in negociating during the resent monetary pres-
' sure. The total sales since the Ist instant to last evening
' have been 6,140 bales ;of which 2,267 bales were for export,
chiefly for Liverpool ; 2,945 bales for home use, and 928
1 bales on speculation. Prices ore slightly advanced on
some grades. The export, during same time has been, to
1 Liverpool, 2,550 bales; Glasgow, 60 ; Hamburgh, 297 ;
Antwerp, 276. Total, 3,183 bales. The Charleston and
Savannah markets have advanced, owing to the upward
e movement here and the better prices in Liverpool advised
d • per Niagara and Arctic. In New Orleans and Mobile,
d however, the market has continued to droop under a
'r combination of local influences, high freights,1 tight
1 •

money market, dificulty in negociatioh; &c. The touowmg
is a statement of the movement in cotton since the Ist of
-'e September last, as compared with the previous three years :
