The excitement at Staten Island ant

1t is said that combination of fiv,
hundred men exists at Keyport, who arr
determined to burn any building erected
for hospital at Princes Bay.
The Commissioners have been threat
ened with personal violence should they
visit Staten Island.
The City Inspector reports 800 death.

The Heralds Washington Correspond
ent says, Mr.. Cass takes the rejection 0
the Dallas Clarendon Treaty in high dud
geon, and thinks the action of the English
Government wholly indefensible.
Indeed, he drew from Lord Maple,
almost an admission of this fact.
Mr.. Wise, Secretary of Legation Al
Paris, has resigned.
Mr.. Wilburn, the Assistant Secretary
will probably be promoted until Mr.
Mason is released by a new Minister
which will probably be in two months.

EE- 1t seems that the policy of the
present administration has been to appoint
10 Office men without character, and re-
move those who have, by their honesty,
rendered themselves obnoxious TO border
rulfians and treasury cormorants. In
Kansas, the Offices were distributed to
those who faithfully robbed and murdered
in the pro-slavery ranks. In New York,
the brawling blackguard, Capt. RYNDERs,
must be rewarded for the fisticuffing
which he did for the party, by one of the
most important of Federal Offices, and
now, the only men who have protected
the Treasury from the host of clamorous
and leecherous claimants have been COM
PEELED to retire. The Cincinnati Enqui-
rer, one of the most rabid and thorough
paced organs of the Bogus Democracy,
says, in reference to the retirement OF

election in this State, making Fisher 5
majority sos. Buchanan County is not
given, which gave 220 Republican ma
jority. The returns from some half a
dozen other counties are not given, which
will undoubtedly make the result very
close. We suppose we must concede,
however, the election of FISHER and PAR
WIN, Democratic candidates for Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction and Register

candidate for Commissioner of Des Moines
River Improvem ent is undoubtedly cleo
ted. There was only about a two-thirds

apathy most ulpable, have thus again

interests of our State. We hope this
will teach them lesson which they will

This is the second years product of lands that
five Years since the Federal Government vanly
offered at 81 ,25 II acre. This fact is to be here
noted, viz: that those newly settled lands before
useless and unproductive. have in one wear
yielded produce equal in value to the whole cost
of the road
Such, then, has been the operation Of
a railroad through wilderness that in
1850 the government could not dispose
of at any price. There is a long array
OF most interesting facts presented in this
report, which would be of benefit to a
few old foges hereabouts who don't be-
lleve IN Railroads, but our space won t
admit of our giving them.
We have, in this county, some 368, 900
acres of land, which would be increased,
upon an average, by the construction of
this road, at least two dollars per acre.
The lessening of freight and passenger
charges 10 the people of this county, by
competition between this and the Dubuque
d. Pacific Road, would undoubtedly be a
material item, even at the outset, and con-
sidered in relation TO our productions and
demands when the county is more thick
ly settled and more fully under cultiva-
ton, would, in a few years involve a saw
ing to US, Of an amount double the pro-
posed loan But it is in the relation
which the road holds to our prairies,
where lies its most important advantages
to US, The main difficulty that even now
besets the farmer. is the want Of lumber,
although our county is even more fruitful
of timber than mos. of her sisters But
how much will that difficulty be increased
in a few years, when nearly all of this

During the week past, there had been

Ten THOUSAND NoRwEGIANs Con-
ISG.-By the last European steamers
news it was reported that upwards of
10000 Norwegians will proceed from
Norway to Quebec during the present
summer. Several of these will remain in
Canada, but the larger portion will pass
on to the Northwestern States of America.
Sir Cusack Roney had left England for
Christiana, to make arrangements for the
transit of these persons from Quebec to
their destination, and also to disseminate
information with reference to Canada on
behalf of the Government.
The immigration from Europe bids fair
to be larger this year than it has ever
before been.

SUGAR.-A letter from Havana to the
New York Times, dated April 9th, says !:
1t is now pretty well acknowledged
that the sugar crop in this Island will be
shorter at least by one-ffth than last
years. Interested parties are doing their
best to conceal the truth, but the time is
fast approaching when the official state
ments must be published. A large num-
Der of estates have already finished
grinding, particularly in the vicinity Of
Matanzas. Throughout the whole island
the cane has been more or less injured by
the strong winds and excessively hard
rains. In addition to these calamities,
the heavy frosts bit the young growth
l have heard, also, that the yield has been
quite small, compared with that of pre-
vious years, to such an extent that many
OF the estates have made ut least thirty
per cent. less than last year. This has
had the effect of raising prices to tho
present cxorbiant standard, from which
they will not abate.
