upon their chances with the Ncaraguan
government, including the "reminiscences of
Walkers dictatorship"
B3~ Commodore Pauldng, who has been
engaged in an exploration of the Isthmus
between Aspinwall and Panama, to ascer,
tain the practicablity oc constructing a
ship canal between the Atlantic and Pac-
ilic oceans, has reported the result of his
observations to the Navy Department. He
says that no serious obstacle exists, but
that the great difficulty would he to pro-
cure laborers The length of the proposed
route is 433 miles; and it is estimated that
the cost will not exceed SS0,00O,00O
R3-By a private letter from Washing
tou we learn that Attorney General Black
has refused to dismiss appeals in California
land cases, and that all cases must come
before the Supreme Court for final adjudi-
cation. This is very important intelligence
and the determination Of the Attorney
General will be received with much favor
here In some of the cases decided by the
Land Commission, important testimony has
recently been brought to light, and, under
these circumstances, summary disposal of
land cases would operate very injuriously.

IMMENSE INFLUX OF SPEcIE.-The amount
of specie that has flowed into this city,
New Orleans and ST. Louis since the com
mencement of the financial panic, and that
has remained in the country, is enormous,
beyond all former precedent. We have
had listVol the arrivals of specie within
the month of October compiled from the
files of the HERALD, showing the aggregate
amount to be within fraction Of seven and
half millions of dollars. OF that sum no
less than $5,I66,90 were received in this
city and entered into the specie resources of
the banks and the community.
10 this sum should be added certificates
of deposit received by the Persia to the
amount of over million Of dollars, which
certificates are as good as, and in . more
convenient form than specie itself, because
remittances to England can be made by
means of them. Out Of these monthly
cash receipts OF seven and a half millions
of dollars we have not actually. sent out OF
/
two or three hundred thousand dollars-so
that the first of November sees it richer BY
at least seven millions Of dollars in specie
than we were on the first Of October This
may seem extraordinary in view of the de-
preston in trade, but the fact is neverthe-
Jess so. Though times are hard specie is
plenty.-N. Y. Herald, Nor. S.
MONEY MATTERS IN New YORK The
New York Journal Of Commerce of Friday
evening says that the market is better,
there being manifcs: improvement in the
tone Of feeling, and an)rincrease of conf
dencc and general activity. The demand
for foreign exchange has improved, and
prices have advanced. We quote 60 day
bills on London at lO3 l07, with some
signatures at l08.
p@-We find the following in F0rneys
Philadelphia Press, of the 9th Nov:
"ANorHER PROCLAMATION FROM Hon
ROBERT j. WALKER,-We publish second
proclamation from Gov WALLER in refer
ence to certain other fraudulent returns Of
the late election in the Territory Of Kan
sas, in which we find that, with more dis
tnctness and force than in his proclamation
of the 18th, he states bis unalterable deter.
mination to abide by the law, and refuse to
become party to foul play, There seems
to be disposition, in some quarters, to
hold Governor WALKER amenable because
be does not, it is alleged, pay sufficient at
tention to the techncaities Of the law. We
direct especial attention TO this second ar
gumont from his pen, in order to show that
even upon this point he is as impregnable
as in his position against the naked fraud
itself
I'VE cannot refrain adding, that never
within our experience have we known pub
lie opinion to be more united in the support
Of any man than that which prevails in
this community, and SO far as we can learn,
in tho State of Pennsylvania, in favor of
Governor WALKER
