THE IsTHaUs or SUEz.-A correspondent of the National lntelligencer writes from New York as follows:
 "Our merchants are awaiting with some solictude some action on the part of our Government relative to the proposition from the Chamber of Commerce, that steps should be taken to commerce come sha,e in the advantages that accrue from the construction of the contemplated railroad across the lsihmus of Suez, by which the facilities of com
 nunicatihg rapidly wuh India will be SC much io- creased. It is apparent that both England and France are moving in this business with due sense of it's importance i'll mercantile point of view Put
 the command of such route under the exclus i've con- trol of either both of these Po~srs, and the deIr- ment to the commerce of the United States may be ,ncalcuabie. The ealousies of France are at pres ent the only obstacle to the enterprise"
 THE NEW TERRITORY or NEBRAsKA.-Ws are glad 10 see by the Congressional reports, that Mir. Douglass of Illinois, has given notice of his n- tenton to introduce bill for the establishment of new territorial government west of the State of Mis- | souri. This, we presume, is in accordance with the recommendation contained in the report of the Secre- tary of War-the best paper, and the best written paper by the way, of the present session. As the subject IS an interesting one, and likely become still more so by its connection with that of the Ors- gon, with which it IS closely identified, we append that part of Mr. Wilkins report which relates to it: |" In consequence Of the conflicting claims of for eign nation to he territory West of the Rocky Mocn- tans, Congress has exhibited reluctance.to orean- ike it under territorial government. Entertaining myself, no doubt of the proprety and expedicncy of the measure, usthable by the legitimacy of our claim, shall say nothing further the subject, but wi bring to your attention something nearer home. The immediate valleys of the head streams of ihe Arkansas, the Platte and the Yellow Stone rivers, have mnch rich and valuable land. The Platte or Nebraska. being the central stream leading into from the great South Pass, would very properly fur nish nsms ts the territory, which propose sug. gssins 10 be erected into territorial Rovernme n, m connection with, and preliminary the extension in that direction. of our military posts. I would conhne the Nebraska Territory 'o our undispulsd Dossessions ,his side of the Rocky Mouniains. It's boundary line would commence at the mouth of the Kansas, and run up the Missouri river 10 the mouth of the Running water river, and would pursue
 hat stream ,o the head of it's northern branch, and thence due west to the Wind-river cham. From lhis point, turning southward, the line would con- time along the Windriver range, and the main chain o h: Rocky Mountains to the head of the Arkansas, and following that stream to the mouth of the Paw 1 n Fork, would pass by the heads of the Neosha and Usage rivers, again 10 the mouth of the Kanxas The eastern section of the region embraced by lhese boundaries, from the Missouri river westward for two hundred and fifty miles, is of great agricu-
 rural brauIy and facilities, thicky timbered on the I numerous tributaries of the Ksnzas, Osage and
 Neosha rivers, and Tn fertility equu the best land in Missouri. Frmn the limit of this fertile portion,
 wssiward, for the space of 400 miles, the country is
 entirely covered with rich grasses, which improve in
 quantity and quality up to the of the me uniains. The limits of this territory inc lude the extreme l head of nav gatIon of the AIkansas, all the good lines ot communication with Califprnia, the road
