British and American Annexation.

At the very moment that the British press
is engaged in lecturing this country upon tho
iniquity of its appetite for annexation, and
more especially, its unholy longings for Gu
ba, the leading periodicals of Great Britain,
the organs of its enlightened public senti-
ment boldly justify the widest sweep of Bri-
tish annexation in India. One of their lead
ing Reviews says; at is a very very alb
surd kind of reasoning to infer from the ex-
tent of our domiaions in India. that We ought
not to enlarge them. Our empire never can
be said to have reached its proper develop
ment till all obvious sources of disturbance
and troubles shall, as far as possible. have
been closed up. In these matters there is
no question of enough, or too much, apart
from the paramount consideration Of what
will suffice to insure to us the undisturbed
government of all the country"
What hubbub would be raised if lead
ing American press should talk in this way |!
Our Republic never can be said to have
reached its proper development till all OBJ
yious sources of trouble and disturbance are
closed up! And rs Cuba is an obvious
source of trouble and disturbance, and Great
Britain herself is seeking to make it more SO,
we will ptoceed to take it forthwith! What
say you to that, honest John? Isn't it right
that our manifest destiny" should keep pace
with your proper development

THE NORTHWEST PAssAGE.-The National
Intelligencer corrects strange tissue Of err
rors and contradictions, which appeared in
AN article of the New York Eventng Post,
announcing the interesting fact, that "a pas.
sage by the Arctic Ocean around the North
ern continent of America, has at last been
discovered" by Com. Mcclure, of the Bri-
tish Navy, and that the great geographical
problem" had been solved, after the unsuc-
cessful enterprises of two hundred years. A
brief announcement of the British Admiralty
was the authority for this statement. The
statement may be true, "but not, says the
Yntelligencer, 'if the circumstances related
in the Post are correct. The account in
the Post says that Mcclure sailed from Da-
vis's straits, on the east. through the great
Arctic ocean, to near Behring's straits on
the west and he is left 'on tho coast of Asia,
near the outlet of Behring's straits whereas
Com Mcclure commenced bis polar voyage
through Behring's straits. and to solve the
problem he must have gone east instead OF
west. If the Post win compare its statement
with any recent map of the polar regions, it
will perceive the discrepancies to which we
refer. 1t is possiblethat when the Admiralty
account comes to hand, it VIII explain pre-
.a,t contradictions, and mako the matter
clear"

connection with nominations which bavs
oeen lhaae IN the newspapers for the Pros;
iency OF the Central Railroad. We arc xerv
sure that the outgivings to which No 80

strated clearly enough in the almost mani
nous vote by which Richmond subscribed to
that great work, which is to unite Stauntop
and the Metropolis in links of iron, and to
identify their interests and affections.
1t is true, that various citizens of Staunton
have been nominated, and we are perfectly
certain, without their knowledge or consent,
for the Presidency of the Central Railroad, so
ably and satisfactorily filled by Colonel Fon-
taine. But we apprehend, thatneither Staun-
ton nor the gentlemen thus nominated, de-
serve censure on that account. 1t is matter

spoken of as probable in the Presidency of a
Company, for the names of gentlemen to be
suggested, without any privity of theirs, by
their admiring friends. As for the town of
Staunton, we wish that every village in Eir-
ginia were as enterprising, intelligent and
prosperous. We doubt whether, even in the
new States of the West, there are many in
stances of as rapid and substantial growth
and Improvement, as Staunton has exhibited
within the last few years. And we hesitate
not to say, that ifthere had been as much pub
lie spirit in Richmond, and it had received as
wise and energetic direction as in Staunton,
the Metropolis of Virginia would double its
present population. We speak of Staunton
from personal observation, from long ac-
quaintance and from the most sincere respect
and esteem for its people.
