Yesterday the retroceding wings were caught like
W oodcOcks in their own springe.'' The bill ap-
proprlatng money to meet the next instalment under
the Mexican treaty up in the Committee of the
Whole, when whig member moved substitute,
authorizing the President to negotiate with Mexico
restoration of California and New Mexico. A
most unfortunate movement indeed! for the Commit
tee of the Whole, with view of testing the ques-
ton by yeas and nays in the House, adopted this
substitute instead of the original bill. When the
committee and went back into the House, the
reported substitute passed on by yeas and nays,
and the wings could muster ten only for it, while
there hundred and eighty -four against it.
Among the ten was MIR. Stephens of Georgia. Mr..
Duer of New York, although he had some time since
Z" thundered in the Index" backed out. Mr..
Truman Smith also, although he had his face at
the last session against recognition of the territory,
also joined yesterday in providing for is3 payment.
The bill being then put upon its passage, carried
by yeas and nays-yeas 1873, nays only. On which
vote being announced, Mr.. Turner of Illinois, rose
to advise the wings against the repetition of the lam
guage they had employed about the acquisition of
new territories He reminded them that they had
charged the administration with having robbed Mexi-
of her lands; but the receiver as bad as the
thief and they had sanctioned the acquisition
by consentng pay for the territory, he hoped they
would repent of what they had said, and no longer
cant about robbery and plunder. The wings very
quietly listened to the lecture which they received
and we trust that upon this subject shall hear
more of such clamor and cant.

THE LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

We are indebted to the New York Herald of the
23d instant (always ahead in such matters) for the
latest news from Europe. This news arrived by the
steamer Europa, which reached Halifax, Nova Scotia,
in little over ten days from Liverpool; and was
thence conveyed, by relays of horses, to point
the Bay of Fundy-thence to St Johns, and thence
through to New York by Telegraph.
We quote as follows from the Herald, in relation
to the condition of the English market:
'' In nearly every department of trade and COM
mence increasing activity prevails, and greater buoy
ancy and hope abound C0tOn IS still advancing sLolV
hy, but oil The surely. Sales to large extent
have been going steadily forward during the last two
weeks. The grain trade has been more than unusuL
ally steady the last fortnight, and prices have been
well supported Cured PROVISIONS ashes, naval
stores, and other articles of American productions
in active demand, at remunerating prices. Iron and
tin plate continues in very active demand and have
further advanced in price,
From the manufacturing districts, the accounts
decidedly encouraging. Holders of goods are firm
in their operations, and are sanguine as to good
spring trade.
The stocks and money markets unusually buoy
ant. Public securities and railway shares are on
the advance. The demand for United States six per
cents still continues at advancing rates.
The excitement created in Europe by the reports
of the boundless riches found in California had some
what subsided, when the news by the last packet
one more aroused the spirit of enterprise and the
newspapers again teemed with notices of all kinds
of sh piping adventures, in connection with this aur
ferrous region.
1t is no longer an Ell Dorado, but veritable
terrad' ore; the confirmed statements of mineral
wealth in the California hills, leaving no doubt
but that immense tide OF emigration will float to-
wards that quarter"
Sir Henry Lytton Buwer, late English Ambassa-
dor Spain, has been appointed British Minister to
the United States.
Parliament had been opened in person by the
Queen. The speech from the throne gives undoubt-
ed evidence that the British government will contin-
ue to adhere to its free trade doctrines.

RAILROADS AT TIE CLOSE OF 1948. The Ameri-
Railroad Journal article upon this subject
furnishes interesting facts and suggestions. Ii
Is only twenty-three years since combined effort
was made in England to construct railway between
Liverpool and Manchester. The idea was, at once,
hastily entertained by nearly all the Atlantic cities
Of the United States, and the efforts and results which
followed exhibit prominently, the character of the
American people.
There may be uncertainty as to which Atlantic CITY
belongs the credit of making the first successful
movement in the construction of Railroad; among
the earliest, Baltimore and Charleston-and Bos-
ton, New ork and Philadelphia, nearly stimuli
taneous in their movements. Boston, however has
been more wise, rather more fortunate than the
others, and now enjoys railway advantages by far
superior TO any city In the world, London only, per-
haps, excepted. Very soon the advantages of rail-
roads become familiar all who read and travel and
the impulse was given in every State of the Union,
causing extraordinary efforts and outlaws to secure
their benefits; yet it is certain that few of us Justly
appreciate estimate the comforts the benefits and
the Influences which they have already given to man.
Although Railroads were first used in England.
and next adopted by US, the system is not confined
to those countries where the English language is spo-
ken; but 1t extends throughout Europe-into the
heart of Russia, and also to India and it NAV he
safely estimated that the entire expenditure within
the last tvs wentyone years. in the projection and con-
struction of Railroads, will fall short of one thou
sand millions of dollars !-an amount, enormous as
it is, that will fall far short of the increased value
they have given to property, besides their influence
in facilitating business in reducing the expense and
time of travel, and in opening up regions of
country.
These benefits and these influences are, as vet.
only beginning TO be felt-the time will come when
to the extremes of every part of our country-even
to the shores of the Pacific Ocean-will be by Rail-
roads; and these main lines will be intersected by
thousands OF connecting and branch Railroads.
