Lord Whalnciife 10 his last account, and Lord

Peel, il would seem, supported By Two Of three
of his colleagues, wished 10 open The ports for
the admission Of Corn, duty free, when The pota.

the Cabinet opposed his views, and finding their
differences only wdened BY discussion, they wen,
in body 10 The Isle OF Wight, where the Queen
was then stayins, and placed their resignation il.
her hands. The subsequent results are patent 10
the world. To Lord John Russell was coniided
the task Of forming Cabinet, which broke down
through The difference between Lords Grey and
Paimerstor. Our Republican readers, WIG take

NJ. E'ittor AS it appears now
certain that Mr. McDUrrIE has. or is
about to tender his resignation us United
States Senator, it becomes the duty OF
the people, to consider the comparative
qualifications Of our distinguished cltl-
zcns and give some definite expression OF
opinion. with regard to his successor.
Heretofore, it has not been often ncccs-
sary: for the people, to instruct their re-
prcscntativcs on this election, for all
seemed at once to centre upon certain
individuals, leaving the Legislature,
without much doubt, us to their choice !;
but the case is now some what different,
and they should not hazard their choice,
by leaving the question entirely with
the legislature, without any expression
of their opinion. 1t is certainly much
to be regretted, that one Of our most ia
lcnted citizens, should thus long have
been allowed, to withhold his services
from the State, while it is generally ad
mitted, that he has filled every station to
which he has bccn called with di$tin-
guishcd honor to himself and with per-
muncnt benefit to the State The indi-
viduaI to whom l alludc, is Gen. JAMES
III. HAMMOND, and in common with the
right Of every citizen, l beg leave, to
suggest him as the successor of MIR.

j. We learn from Washington,
that Il Cabinet Council was held on the
3lst ult., ut which the Mexican affairs
were discussed. And it is the impress
sion from what has since transpircd, that
our Yovcruncn, will not wal: the move
mcntS Of SANTA ANNA, but press the war
vigorously. Should ovcrturcs Of peace
be made, however. they will be willing
ly heard and acted upon.

Mcxico-Wc have received nothing
olintcrcst from Mexico or the army since
our last. The next news from that quar-
ter will be looked for with interest, as it
will perhaps give some information of
the probable course of Santa Anna.
Should his influence be cXcrtcd to re-
Store peace doubtless it will be brought
about soon, for rs VIC remarked in our
last, VIC believe him TO be man Of too
much sasaclty to expect success TO attend
his arms in this war. Santa Anna is
ambitious Of power, and to hold the rcins
OF government in quiet, he will perhaps
be willing 10 make great sacrificcs and
ccdc away a portion Of Mexico in order
to rule over the remainder.

The following paragraph, translated
from Paris journal, shows the grow.
ing importance OF the beet root sugar
manufacture IN France -
The manufacture of beet sugar, the
present year, surpasses to remarkable
extent that Of any previous year. At
the end Of last May there had been ma
nufacturcd SS,OOO,OO0 pounds of sugar,
nearly ten millions more than any pre-
vious year This paid into the treasury
Of tile country over eight million oil
francs or two and Il hall millions more
than last year. There arc now no less
than three hundred and six manulacto-
ries in full operation, and onl v three in
the whole kingdom not in operation, and
this because they have us much sugar
us they can store Thirty manutaclo-
RIGS have bccil added 10 tho list during
tho past year. SO that it will be seen
that the rivals Of the sugar cane arc
disposed to meet with courage the strug-
gle invited by the recent law by which
they arc placed. so far as duties are con-
ccrncd, on a level.

NAuvoo.-The Hancock Eagle Of
the 2lst instant, says
Mex, week will be period which Is
to settle in this country, whether law
and order are to come out triumphant,
or whether mob rule is TO dcsolate Nau-
VOC. No citizen here will refuse to obey
any legal writ, whenever they can have
the guarantee of safety while going to
aud returning from whatever part Of the
country, they may be called on to ap-
pear. The authorities here have about
two hundred writs to arrest those who
have infested this country, for some time,
and Il test will be made if Carlin and
his gang will show an example Of obey
ing the aw-comlnencing with himself.
The arrests will be attempted to be
made by legal officer, and if resisted,
which is most likely, i, will show that
the real object Of the mob is to act other
than as a law abiding people.
A deputation from this city, joined
with one from Quincy, are now in
ingfeId, to take effective measures in
this crisis. They ask a rcquisition to
aid in enforcing the arrest of all those
in this and the neighboring counties,
who have infested this vicinity and from
letters which were received here, before
they started, they are now likely on
their way back to those counties which
have promised to come to our relief,
with the Governors orders.

IsrnMus OF PANAMA.-Within few
years the French government has taken
great interest in the contemplated ship
Canal to unite the Pacific and Atlantic
at the Isthmus Of Panama and has ap
pointed regular commission of able
engineers, gcologists, SC, TO examine
and report on the feasibility and cost Of
that project, Of all which has been done.
This may account for the zeal manifcs-
ted by France on the Texas and Mcxi-
can questions, her alliance with Eng
land in the war now prosecuting in the
Argentine Republic, and the frequent
reference Of NJ. Guizot to an American
balance of power" France may en-.
deavor to obtain the privilege from New
Grenada, to undertake that project; and
when completed to hold the kew of the
important commerce of the two grca,
oceans
This is IL new commercial ambition of
France very crcditable 20 her enterprise,
but not promising very successful re-
suit. 1t is not to be supposed that Eng,
land and the United States, the two
great commercial nations of the world,
would consent to allow France to mount
guard at the mouth of the canal, and
control the commerce of those seas. But
