INTELLIGENCE FROM BRITISH GUIANA.-Papers
from Georgetown, to the 4th inst. have been re-
ceived at this office.
We find long article in the columns of the
Royal Gasstte-an article nearly two columns in
length-regarding General Zachary Taylor's pc
stion as to the Presidency They are very eu-
logistic in the review of the Generals capabili-
ties and integrity, and wind up with the fol-
lowing remarkable paragraph
Finally, and at any rate We gather from the iudica
lions in Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia Pennsylvania
and other States that Gen Taylor Ia unquestionaby in
the field He has not made himself candidate for the
Presidency the people have done it. He has announced
the terms upon which be will stand and those terms
accepted Gen. Taylor Ia in the feld he will not with
draw be withdrawn; for he retreats-hs
surrenders. The people who have called him to his
position will sustain him there. They claim him
their Conventions may recognise, but they
not appropriate him. George Washington Is now to
have successor.
The article is not credited to any U. 6. paper;
it may therefore be original.
The press in Guiana seems to be in trouble
with the authorities, as the publishers of the
Guiana Times had been cited before the civil
courts, and an attempt was being made to issue
an attachment, for contempt of court on the part
of the Times
They complain much of the irregular way in
which the Royal Mail Steam Company's packets
carry the mail in those regions.
The local news is not of any interest

JERSEY CITY FERRY-We perceive that the
Jersey Oily Ferry COMPANY have r.tifinned the
Common Council for renewal of their lease
of the slip at the foot of Courtandt street and
doubtless they expect to get another term Of it
at the same nominal rent which they have paid
for seven years past.
We do hope that the Common Council will
not act on this petition until committee of
that body shall have instituted searching en-
quiry into the manner in which the public has
been served by this company for the past seven
years. Under the impression that the lease ex-
PRED last spring, we took the pains to make en-
quiries into its affairs, and the result, coupled
with our own experience, justified us in stating
at that time that 1t was one Of the great
est and most onerous monopolies that
the people of this city ever had to sub.
NIT to. Although they were coming money
from our people, although they paid only a
tenth part of the rent which the Fulton Ferry
pays, they paid not the smallest attention to
the wants or conveniences of the public. They
ran boats when and how they pleased; and at the
present time, their trips are not frequent enough
to satisfy the wants of the people. The ferriage,
in consequence of their lease being about to ex-
pire, has been, within very short time, reduced
from SIX to four cents but the manner In which
the Communication has been fixed more than
counterbalances any benefit the public may re-
ceived from it,
We may have more to say on this subject, and
shall at present merely say that the slip in ques
ton, like all other public property, should be put
up at public auction, and rented for ferry pur-
poses, for term of years, to the highest bidder,
who will contract to run ferry, to charge no
more than three cents for foot passengers, and
horses, &C., in proportion; to run a boat every
five minutes during the day, every fifteen minutes
during the evening and up to twelve O'Clock at
night and every hour after twelve, till sunrise.
These are the changes which the public re-
quire, and the only way of acquiring them, is to
rent the slip at auction in the above manner; and
we trust that sle Common Council will pause be-

INTELLIGENCE FROM BRAZIL AND LA PLArA.-By
way ofRio Janerlo, we are In possession OF news
from Montevideo to the 18th October; but
nothing of importance had TRANSFERRED since our
previous advices.
From Entre Rios aud Corrlentes, the news is
somewhat interesting. The Correntinian Co.
lionel, Nicanor Caceres, commandant OF the from
tier, had deserted the party of Madariaga, and
presented himself to Urquiza, with force OF
from four hundred to five hundred men, and
the best of the cavalry in the province. Ma
dariaga, who, it appears, suspected this deser-
ton, followed towards the frontier with the
greater p4rt of his army, in order to arrest
Caceres, but he arrived too late. Letters from
Entire Rios, under date 18th October, state that
this occurrence threw that province into state
of great excitement, and that all business and
labor were suspended. contrasting sadly with the
profound peace and universal industry which so
lately reigned there. The presence OF Madaria-
ga on the frontier, at the head of respectfully
sized army, determined Urquiza to take a ostile
attitude. Within fOrty-eght hours the whole
province was under arms, and the governor, at the
head of his troops, was on the move towards the
frontier. 1t is probable that the next arrival
from La Plata will bring us news of the inva-
sion of the province of Corrientes.
From Buenos Ayres there Is nothing new.
The French, at the last accounts, kept up the
blockade of that port. The English were still
endeavoring to raise the sloop of war Comus
From Colonia it was announced that the Com
mandant, Mundel, had entirely routed an Cribs
Ia force, in the vicinity of Pasandu.
The news from Rio Janeiro is unimportant-
the elections were coming to close, and all was
going on well; and, save paragraph or two an
nouncing the Emperor's personal movements,
there is nothing of general political news in the
Brazilian papers.
