NEGOTIATIONS WITH ENGLAND.-The Presl-
dent of the United States transmitted to Congress,
on Tuesday the 9Th instant, an important report
of the Secretary Of State, on the present state Of
the negotiations pending between this Government
and that of Great Britain, relative to the fisheries
and commercial reciprocity. MIR. EVERETT states
that the British Government are willing. provided
British cured fish are permitted to be imported free
of duty to allow American fishermen to catch fish
on the coasts of the Provinces with the exception
of Newfoundland, but not to cure them there ; the
same liberty to be granted to British Fishermen on
the coast of the United States and further that If
reciprocity of trade is established respects GER
tain products of this country the colonies will sur
render the free navigation Of the Weland canal
and the river St. Lawrence to the ocean. As
there will not be time during the present session
to arrange both matters, he recommends the &C
ton of Congress with reference to the fisheries,
leaving the subject of reciprocity to future leglsa-

congressional districts.

The Democratic members of the Legislature
still unable to agree upon plan for laying OFT
the State into Congressional Districts. They have
had various caucuses to consider the matter, and
are open and above board in treating it as ques-
ton of purely party concern. So little conceal
ment do they practice on this point that the Wing
members of the Committee to whom the business
was entrusted, have not even been invited to at
tend the meetings. The primary object is, OF
course, to deprive the Wings of every District
This is comparatively an easy work, for the ma
jority have the power to lay off the Districts in
any shape they please; but then it has been found
impossible, so far to arrange matters so as to suit
the various and innumerable aspirants to seats in
Congress. For instance, Mr.. DENEAL would not
like to have Mr.. LETcHER thrown again in the
same District with himself; well, if Mr.. LEIGH
Err is placed in another District, he will come IN
conflict with some body else equally ambitious of
self advancement-and so the matter stands. 1t is
rumored, however, that some of the majority, de-
sparing of carrying out their favorite schemes,
possibly experiencing at last sense of shame on
account Of the unjust proceedings of their friends,
have retired from the caucuses in disgust land de-
clared their intention to unite with the Wings in
supporting fair arrangement.

The New York Herald (good authority says
there is every reason TO believe that Gen. CALEB
CusurNe, Of Massachusetts, has been selected by
Gen. PIERCE as Secretary Of State. Information
to that effect is communicated by a Washington
correspondent of the paper and the editor endorses
the statement as probably correct. The same cor
respondent also says there is fair prospect that
MEDARY, of Ohio, CAMPBELL, of PENNSYLVANIA,
and FLOYD, of Virginia, viii obtain other places
in the Cabinet while for SouLE ofLouisiana. it
is thought the post of Attorney General or for
eign mission will be held in reserve.
Relying on the truth of the rumor as to General
CUsHlNG's appointment. the Herald proceeds to
give brief sketch of that genteman's ''antece-
dents' and ''procliyties In 1871, he was a
leading Wing member of Congress, but during
the extra session went off with JOHN TYLER aud
became one of the famous ''Corporals Gnard''-
lie was rewarded by Mr.. TYLEn. with the APP
poiutment of Commissione- 10 China, and after
concluding a commercial treaty returned home
through Mexico, where he ''fell among. thieves"
ana lost his manuscripts, for which he sought in
demnity from our Government. President Polk
then appointed him Brigadier General in the
army of Mexico, and his most memorable exploit
was falling into the ditch which Gen. PILLOW
dug in the neighborhood of Camargo. Since the
war, the Massachusetts Democrats have run him
as their candidate for Governor, for the United
States Senate, and other responsible Offices He
is universally admitted to possess superior abilities,
though his political honesty is not so generally ac-
knowledged ''Nith respect to his political procliv-
tiles says the Herald, we apprehend, he is iden-
tilted with the progressive school of Young A
merica,' though not to the extreme fllibustering
propensties of the Democratic Review. The old
Bourbons, we know will shrug their shoulders, bu,
what have they to say? Let them speak out
now, or forever hereafter hold theirpeace.' There
is no time to be iost''

0o- Mr.. Mason, of Virginia, in his late speech
on the Tehuantepec question, adverted as follows
to some of the difficulties that lie in the way OF an
immediate construction Of railroad to the Pacific
Ocean:
Now, sir, mean to wage no war in this, with
those who say that railroad can be made across
TIE continent through our own territory. have
no doubt it is in the power Of the country to make
such road, but doubt exceedingly whether II
can be usad effectively after it has been made
You may make railroad ten thousand miles long
as easily as one ten miles long, if you have the
means; but it depends at last upon the climate,
and the nature Of the physical distractions you
meet, what is to be the use of it after it has been
made. Compare railroad stretched across the
northern part of the continent with one at the
isthmus ofTehuantepec, but one hundred and sew:
enty miles in length. We can use the seas with
certainty. Steam navigation has proved that
and there is no danger of obstruction from Ice ell
Their in the Gulf of Mexico or on the Pacific side
But in this Herculean work which is projected to
throw road between the Mississippi and the Pa
cifc there can be no security of passage whatso
ever. Passing over the depradations Of hostile
Indians, you are tn traverse deserts destitute o.
either wood or water-both indispensable 10 mo-
tive power. For nearly two thousand miles yor
are beyond the reach of any resources but such az
travel with you and to end the whole, for nearly
half the wear the way when opened is obstructed
by impassable barriers of ice and snow.

0g-The Hon. Andrew Stevenson is recommend
ed to Gen. Pierce, in the Charlottesville Repub-
lcan, as fit and proper person for Cabinet ap-
pointment. The Hon. Andrew is good looking,
but we doubt whether he can come in. When he
was Speaker of the House of Representatives, he
had so dull an appreciation of merit, that he omit
ted to put the Brigadier on any but the most OBJ
scure Committee, and at the very tail of that
He has since endeavored to explain this proceed
ing away by some such logic as this, five recol-
lect Alright: He was perfectly aware ofthe sthpen-
dous powers of Pierce-had a presentiment of his
future greatness to give occasion for the full
exercise of his transcendant genius, determined to
surround him with as many difficulties as possible
A very ordinary man would oe conspicuous char
acter as Chairman of a Committee, while firstrate
intellect could alone emerge at once from the foot
and, in SO doing, cover hmselfwth honor and fill
the world with his renown. The Brigadier was
put last, that he might have the glory of making
himself. FIRST He has fully redeemed these san
guine anticipations
The Brgadier is pretty shrewd Yankee-and
he will probably return the compliment in kind
by leaving the Hon. Andrew in the hollows Of
Carter's Mountain as the fttest theatre for the
display of his wonderful abilities Wing.

WELL-MERITED CoMPLMENT-The Rich
mond Republican (whose Editor represents this
district in the Senate,) pays the following we'll
merited compliment to the Senator from the Rock
ingham District Coming as it does from one
whose high qualifications and daily intercourse
with members of both political parties, afford am
pie scope for proper estimates regarding the sub
ject of which he treats, this tribute will be the
more highly appreciated:
The "IenM Legion."- Richmond, the Gibral-
ter of Whiggery, and the '.Tenth Legion of
Virginia Democracy have of course no political
sympathies, but it may be said with truth that
they are found side by side in liberal and enter
prsing efforts for the improvement of the State
In this connection, it gives us pleasure TO pay a
tribute to George E. Deneale, Esq, the Senator
from the Rockingham District, who is one of the
most energetic, determined, and liberal friends of
Internal improvements to be found in the Com
monweal of Virginia. Wills: Mr.. Deneal guar' s
with unsleeping vigilance the interests of his own
constituents he never forgets the duties which he
owes TO Virginia, both East and West. Widely
and totally as we differ from him politically, we
never knew a man of more enlarged and compre-
hensive patriotism, and more independent and
fearless in his advocacy of the general interests of
Virginia. without reference to narrow and con-
tracted sectional considerations If the legislative
councils of Virginia had always been filled by
statesmen of the generous and enterprising spirit
of Mr.. Deneale, this old Commonwealth instead
of walowing in the mire of adversely, would now
be placed on the topmost pinnacle Of prosperity and
power.

he was pleased To see how prompt the government

the acknowledgment of his new dignity, and that
he felt great pleasure in assuring him othe friend
Ily feelings he entertained towards the American
nation. Mr.. Rives had been taken to his house
in great gala by Mr.. Baccoeki, the introducer OF
the ambassadors at the imperial court, in one of
the handsome carriages of Louis Napoleon, and ne
was taken home with the same ceremony.
