FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Jan. !,

WASHINGTON, Jan. :, 1857.
The Department. of the Interior has determined
to increase the apprasement OF the remaining lots
of Delaware lands about Leavenworth Cly 10
about twenty-five thousand dollars, instead Of eight
thousand, as previously appraised. The reason
assigned is that the first apprsisement was msdc
when the troubles in Kansas deprecated their value,
and that therefore the Indians would suffer Injustice
This decision is not intended to apply to any lands
preempted or fairly claimed By bona-6de settlers,
but to such only as are justly open to competition
These lands will be put up for sale at auction,
like others, IS soon as Instructions can be made
out, and may be purchased by the highest bidder
over the valuation fixed BY the Department. MIR.
Eddy, Commissioner, is now here, and Mr. Rob
inson, Indian Agent for the Desware', is expected
tomorrow, when final determination will be made,
after he arrives to give desired information. Tho
President has not yet authorized the sale Of tho
other Delaware lands-sbout 300, 600 acres scross
the river; but it is supposed that his authority viii
be soon given to put them in market.
It is VI derstood now that the agents of WOOD
vorths Patent will soon return here to prosecute
endeayors for renewal-their temporary absence
being deemed polite.

The steamer North American arrived at Portland
yesterday with four days later news from Europe,
having left Liverpool the morning of the oath of
December. The matter Of the Isle Of Serpents and
Bolgrad is stll the principal topic of discussion.
France ia eaid 10 decline the Interpretation of En-
xlsnd, Austria aud Turkey, aud Walewsh has so
notified Count Buol. The British Government
organ, however, denies that there Is any difficulty
be.weeu France and Eog'and. Paris papers think
the Congress will open early in January. Dpo-
ma,ic relations between Prussia and Switzerland
are closed, and the Neufchatel question is more
complicated than ever, Prussia still continuing her
wsInks preparations. Thrty-fye thousand men
we're TO assemble at Berlin on the I'd of January
10 march upon Switzerland. On the other side, the
Swiss are arming twenty thousand men, of who@
one moety will defend Basic and the other garrison
Schafbausen. The Federal Diet was convened for
the 9th of December, and ample credit for war
purposes had been voted. The Persisn war is very
unpopular in England, and both the Pamerston
and the Derby organs denounce it. Lieut.. HTt
steue and his officers are extensively i)nized at
bar quets receptions and shows. There no news
of Importance from other countries.

Some law or regulation which will prevent ilega!
voting is mperatiyey demanded in this city. The
only question il, how shallthe end be achieved with
out burdening the people with inconvenient forms
and excessive penalties Registry Law looks
fair and, if men properly valued the night of frau
chse, would not only be acquiesced In, but urgently
demanded by oil honest voters. Whether any con-
certed Effort will be made TO enact such law, re-
mains to be seen; but, in any event. 1t will be In
teresting to the people to know what other eities
and States have done.
In New-Hampshire, lists Of voters in each town
sic filed by the Selectmen with the Clerk, and
posted conspicuously at least fifteen days before
election. The Selectmen are to be IN session within
the fifteen days TO correct the list with power 10
hear and determine. The hsts are open to al. A.
The poll no one can vote unless his name ia in the
list VI less he has been accidentally omitted. and
the Seectmen know him TO BE- voter.
In Connecticut, the Selectmen and Town Clerk
sit Throughout the week preceding the election and
on the day of election. Their certified hst is eyi.

which the lists are deposited in The Town Clerks

We showed the other day that in the short space
of thirty years from 1921 TO 1851 the real estate of
France more than doubled in its money value
having gained from less than 81, 000, 100000 to
moro than sic, 600, 600 600. The personal prop.
erty having certainly increased in like proportion,
the reeult as regards the condition of the people, is
found in the facts, that while their numbers have
grown from 80 600 600 to 81 000, 600, the property
at their command has more ttsu doubled. Thus
had the whole been equally divided in the first
period, il would probably have given little more
than $3.50 TO each-whe We're it nov to be 50
divided, it would give little short of 5000 to every
man, woman and child of the population. Wealth
being power, advantage may now be derived from
comparing the facts thus obtained with those OBJ
served among ourselves Should the result of such
examination prove that We are advancing in wealth
more rapidly than France, then may We feel that
the scepter of the world is coming more nearly
within our reach; but, should the reverse of this
be proyed--should it be established that France
advances mote rapidly than ourselses-then may
we be assured that that scepter is to be welded BY
ether hands than those of our descendants.
Asreeably TO the returns under the census, the
cash value Of the farms Of the United States in
1850, was $3,27l, OOO,O GOO; or One6fth of that of
the real estate of France in the succeeding year
Adding now to this the houses, roads, canals
stocks, and property of every other description,
real aud personal, we obtain total of 81 O66 562
900 being less by more than one eighth than tne
additional value given to real estate alone IN France
in the short period Of thirty years This, he /; ob-
served, is not what is gwen BY the actual returns
but the true vsluatOn-sliow having been
made for errors, omissions, and under estimates,
and that allowance being DO less than 81, 042 OOO,

of the Southern States, more than 81, 000 000 900
