The News.


The News.
1t was very naturally anticipated that, after the
sobsidence Of the election excitement, there would,
for -hie be somewhat of dearth in the news
market The very reverse, however, has been the
case. Indeed, our columns were never more bounti-
fully supplied with late and important intelligence,
from every direction, than they have been within the
last week. The stirring events in Cuba and Mexico,
the intricate condition Of affairs in Europe, the
Japan expedition, the guano and fishery ques
tions, combined with the every day transa,-
items in our territory, tend to fascinatc, and
keep alive the anxiety of every reader to scan the
contents Of the latest newspaper.
BY the arrival of the steamship Illinois we have
FIVE days later news from the Pacific. We have
dates from San Francisco to the Goth ult., which
were brought to Panama by the new steamer
Cortes she having arrived at the latter port in time
to connect with the Illinois, by which means the
passage was made in less than twenty. three days,
being tie shortest time on record The Intelligence
from the new State will be found interesting. Gold
in immense quantities still continues to flow into
Ban Francisco, as the great shipments from that
place to the Atlantic to indicate. The
steamer Oregon, which sailed on the 10Th of De-
tober, had as freight the enormous amount of
$2406 TIP in gold dust, being the largest shipment
which ever left San Francisco in one vessel. The
Illinois brings nearly 81, 100000.
By far the most important Of the news brought
by the Illinois is that concerning the guano on the
Lobos Islands. 1t will be seen that Commodore
M'Cauley has officially notified the owners and of.
fcers of all American vessels that, in accordance
with instructions from the administration at Wash.
ington, he will abstain from afording them any pro
lection should they undertake to procure guano
without the express sanction of the Peruvian au-
thorities. The American charge at Lima has like.
wise given notice that the government, Of Peru
will issue charters to any vessels that may desire to
load with guano, upon the payment of proper con-
eideration Under these circumstances it is not like.
ly that there will be any further maritime trouble
with regard to this affair. although i. may hereaf
ter afford matter for much diplomatic controversy.
The Illinois likewise brings great deal Of very
Interesting information from Chilli New Granada,
Australia, sc. Considerable sensation has been
produced in New Granada by the announcement of
the re- discovery Of rich gold mines from which the
Spaniards were formerly driven by the hostile
natives. From Australia we are informed that the
yield Of the gold mines continued enormous
commerce was rapidly expanding, and the town of
Sydney had suddenly become city Of grea. COM
mercial and maritime Importance.
From New Orleans we have the rather startling
announcement that ak hundred of the National
Guard at Natamoras recently revolted and fed to
the American side. After organizing they re-
turned, and gave battle to fifteen hundred Of the
Mexican troops, under Gen. Avalos, whom they
defeated, and compelled to beat hssty retrea. to
Mstsmoras. During all the recent revolutionary

Gen. Caravsjal, who some months ago created so
much disturbance rs the leader of the i'll. fated
Sierra Madre rebellion. What has become of him?
The inhabitants Of the Southern States appear to
be quite anxious to have their land bound down
by railroad iron ss their brethren in the North.
Five hundred thousand dollars were last Thursday
subscribed by the citizens Of Savannah, Geo., to
assist in laying down direct road from that place
to Albany. 1t is the intention to eventually extend
this road to either Pensacola or Mobile. By thus
turning their attention to internal improvements

cilitatng travel and giving the inhabitants of dis

acquainted with each other-th the people Of the

Lake Erie was again visited by another terrific
gale on Thursday night, and, up to the date of our
last dsspatch yesterday afternoon, it continued to
rage with great violence Several vessels have either
been entirely wrecked materially damaged, as will
be seen by the telegraphic report.
Our columns to-day contain much valuable Stats
teal and general information relative to the popu
lation commerce, and agriculture Of the province Of
New Brunswick together with an interesting letter
from Nova Scotia correspondent, concerning the
contemplated railroads, the fisheries, &c According
20 the last census Of New Brunswick there were over
twenty millions Of Of uncleared land in the ter
ritory there being only about three in every
hundred under cultivation; but, notwithstanding
this fact the population is increasing with astonsh
ing rapidly, having more than trebled within the
last thirty years. Having pro6ted from frequent
intercourse with their Yankee noighbors, the inha-
bi,ants Of both Nova Scotia and New brunswick
have caught the spirit Of enterprise, and are pushing
