It appears that annexation is as prevalent in that remote region as it is in this part of the world. ‘This intelligence, at this moment is rather inte- resting, a8 indicating the usual aggressive spirit of the English, notwithstanding what they have said relative to Texas. The annexation of Natal to the Cape of Good Hope, seems to give a fresh impulse to the philanthro- py of England tis intended to change the name of black slavery to something less odious in appear- ance, but more binding\in fact. {From Cape Town Gazette Sept. 5.) The long wished-tor settlement of the Natal question has at length been brought about by the annexation of that district to this colony ; and both being now placed under a government of whose energy such abundant proofs have already been given, the most favorable re- suits may naturally be anticipated, It must be confessed that many and great improve- ments have been going on of late years, in all intimately connected with the future well-being of this land. Of them we may in particular advert to the extinction of slavery—the establishment of free ports, together with the abolition of all port charges; the improvement of our roads, and the elliances that have been entered into with the most powerful and intelligent tribes in our im- mediate neighborhood—but in our estimation, superior to all these is the junction now so happily being formed between this colony and Natal. Itmay therefore be confidently hoped that, by this ex tension of British rule in Eastern Africa, a strong arm will be there formed by establishing an auxiliary inter- nal power to second the efforts so perseveringly made cruisers on that coast, which wonld thereby tend to the protection of the inland tribes, who are still left open to the ruthless attacks of freebooters that infest the Mozambique and adjacent coast~-who by their nefarious proceedings throw up a barrier, as it Were, in the way of our trade with the more inland parts of Central Afmea ; but which force, taking into account the great mass of population, would be a valuable addi- tion to the improvements that have already taken place. As to our own Colony—ata meeting of the legislative council on Wednesday last, an estimate of the probable | expenditure and receipts for the ensuing year was then submitted, the former amounting to £161,342 138, 5d, and the latter to £178,503 ; the details whereof will be found in the Government Gazette of this da; Fiom the Minute addressed by the Governor to the members, it will be seen that his Excellency purposes shortly to submit an ordinance for establishing a uniform rete of postage,jon the principle lately adopted inEngland, It will also be noticed that the mail is to be despatched trom the Ist Jan. next, to and from Graham’s Town, twice a week, which will confer considerable benefit to the pub- lic, but mainly to the mercantile community. And with respect to the Customs, as more immediately connected with commerce and pavigation, we are happy to find that, notwithstanding the al venue has been from other sources amply compe! It appears that, on a comparison of the vessels et - wards for 18 months antecedent to the said abolition, with those entered during a like subsequent period, there has been an increase in favor of the latter of 107 vessels (equal to 47,744 tons) exclusive of those engaged in the guano trade, which have amounted, within the last men- tioned period, to 215 vessels of altogether 60,583 tons. ‘On this highly favorable state of things we see grounds for much congratulation; such relief being afforded to ships touching at our ports, will unquestionably lead to their being still more generally frequented. We cannot pass over the estimate itself without evlo- gizing the very able manner in which it has been com. piled. Our local readers we are sure will be highly gra- tified on an attentive perusal thereof, and we are con- vinced that not one of Her Majesty’s colonial posses- sions can boast of statistical talent of a higher order than is displayed in ths laborious and lucid document, [From the Graham’s Town Journal, Aug. 21.] Extract of a letter from the Mauritius to Messrs. H. & R. 8. Blaine of Graham’s Town, dated 23rd J “We have now to inform you that news has since then been received from Madagascar, to the effect that the Queen had ordered all the ports in her dominions to be closed against the French and English traders, and that | strong bodies of troops were on their way down to each from the capital. ‘The trde is therefore for the present at an end.” Late From Sanre Fx.—We copy the following from the Independence Expositer of the 25th ult “ We received advices from Mexico on Wednesday last by acompany just in from the plains. ‘They consist of ourtownsmen Messrs. Kaufman and Goldstein, Bean, Peacock, and four of the Armijo’s, (Mexicans,) having with them in all 12 wagons—300 mules and $30,000 in money. ‘They have been 30 days on the road—sufferiny none from inclemency of the weather and other hind: rances usually experienced by companies going or re- turning. Few if any Indians were seen on the route ; at least they suffered no molestation from any of the tribes, at the time or shortly before they left Santa Fe, Com- mandant Garcia Conde, whose appointment we noticed some time since and who was expected to come up to the border country, had arrived and straightened up matters wonderfully. It is well known that the military is superior to the civil authorities in Mexico, and in accordance with this has been his conduct. ‘The Gover- nor, who has usually assisted and expedited matters for the American traders and endeavored to make things fair, was not permitted to exercise his authority. The Commandant required thatevery yard of goods should go into the Custom House upon entry into the country— and strict examination be made of papers &c., and that in the event of contraband goods being discovered—con- fiscation of property and imprisonment of person should ensue—such did actually take place with some of our traders—and all after a delay of eight or ten days and in- carceration of some for the space of 24 or 36 hours, were allowed upon the payment of $950 per wagon, to go on below or open for sale in Santa Fe. Manuel Armijo was appointed Governor and will doubtless exercise his usual efficiency in the manage- ment of aflairs. Ifsuch isthe case we mey look out for squabblas between himself and the Commandant and probably the expulsion of the tyrannical officer from the upper provines Our tradgrs with such men and such measures as Garcia Conde introduces, cannot make any money, and his existence there must put a stop to the trade. We have news from Santa Fe to the 20th of September. They met on their way out, Messrs. Bent, Alverez, &c., at Council Grove, going along finely. Furtaer Mexican Irems.—The U. S. steamer Princeton was at anchor at the Southwest Pass on Friday last, (31st ult.,) seven days from Vera Cruz. The steamship McKim, which arrived yesterday from Gal- veston, received on board from the Princeton, Mr. Par- rott, bearer of despatches from Mexico to the goyern- ment of the United Stat Mr. P. proceeded immediate- ly by the mail route to Washington. ‘The Princeton left Vera Cruz on the me day as the brig Somers, the arrival of which at Pe ‘ola has al- ready been noticed. The intelligence, consequently, is not later than was before received. It is understood, however, that the Mexican Government is anxious for the restoration of friendly relations with this country, and that the despatches which have now gone forward will probably lead toa speedy renewal of diplomatic intercourse. The condition of Mexico,is represented to be deplora- ble inthe extreme. With extet quarrels on all hands, oud internally discontent, insubordination and alarm prevailing every where, the Government is entirely power! and inert, exposed to the bitterest denuncia- tions, and threatened daily to be forcibly overthrown.— In Durango, and other northern departments, the en- croachments of the Indian tribes are so serious as to throw the people into a state of universal consternation. A deputgtion had reached the capitol to demand ass ance, and declaring that if it were not granted them the | northern departments would be compelled to throw themselves on the protection of the United States. The Government had no medns to render the aid required, and no measures of relief Had been devised. | The Princeton was bound, we believe, for Penkacola. | She experianced head winds and a heavy head sea all the way to the Balize. She arrived within ciglty miles of the Balize on the fourth day out, when her-fuel was ex- hausted. ; ‘The McKim brings no later news from Texas.—New Orleans Bulletin, Nov. 2. Sream Navication vpon ‘rae Suwanek.—The following information, in relation to a new route | from Savannah to the Gulf, we find in the last number | of the St. Augustine Herald. Our readers may remem- ber that it has been in contemplation for some time past, | to establish a mail route, by steam upon the Suwa. | nee, from Cedar Keys to Fort White, to be connected | ce with the St. John’s by stage. We are informed | t the necessary arrangements for prosecuting this | useful enterprise, have been carried into effect. The steamboat Orpheus, built at New Orleans, expressly for the purpose, has arrived, and taken her station on the route. We learn that she is a most beautiful vessel, 136 feet in length, and fitted up in fine atyle, with 18 elegant | state rooms. She will carry the U. 8. mail from Cedar | Keys, to the new town of Santafee, on the Santafee river | in Columbia county, once a week, and will also rua up the Suwanee to the flourishing town of Columbus From the Suwanee, stages will convey passengers to and from the river’ St.John in connection with the steamers from Savannah, thus forming a direct line from Savannah to the Gulf, The advantages of this route cannot be duly appreciated, until we have begxn | to experience its convenience. ‘Travellers to Key West, | ‘the tl avail themselves of a direct and It only remains to connect we by will be established i ngerous navigation around th ningula, the reefs, the keys, and the bars, would secure for this route a vast amount of the travelling from the north to Louisiana and Texas. Krom information we have received, we can’ confidently assure our readers that a line of steam packets will very shortly ply be- tween Suwanee and New Orleans, ‘This, together with the line that has been established between New York and Charleston, will give almost uninterrupted commu: | nication, by steam, along the whole Atlantic coast with | the Gulf. “This cannot but have a beneficial eflect upon ent of Florid: id we feel warranted in fore- telling its rapid §rowth as the result of these conveni- ences in travel.’ Wearnkk in Canapa.—The Canadian papers state that the fine weather is gone and has been sue- ceeded by cold, raw end boisterous days, though they are us yet {ree from snow.

The walls were 20 inches in thickness, and the structure was not onl: substantially built, but was firmly bound together with iron. The walls had gone up some 23 feet, but not high enough for the roof, nor was it enclosed in'any way. In this condition it presented many assailable points, and the walls being fresh laid, gave way to the tornado. ‘The materials are one indiscriminate mass of ruins, Fortunately the laborers were at work on the windward side of the’ panaisg, otherwise a loss of lite would have been inevitable. As it was, it was remarkable that no- body woes injured. ‘The loss to the city and county is ro The building, it was estimated, would cost some rocess of {From the Boston Journal, Nov. 11.] We had a heavy storm last night with much rain—the wind being from the southward and westward. It is tol- erably pleasant to-day, however. A four story brick building on Charlestown street, unfinished, the roofs not being closed in, was levelled to the ground early this ing, by the violence of the wind.

(From the St. Louis Republican, Noy. 5.) On Saturday night, about eight o’clock, a severe storm, accompanied by a light rain, passed over this city, dong considerable injury to buildings, awnings, lamps, sign boards, &c. In its fury it carried off the cap on the top ef the Polk stalk in the court house square, and de- posited it on the roof of one of the buildings at the east of the square. It blew down a part of tho walls of the new pital, which the city is erecting, and it will take near a week's work to repair the injury. Several small buildings were unroofed or blown down. The walls of athree story building which we are erecting on Ches- nut street, for a printing office, were blown down to the second floor. . (From the Cincinnati Commercial, Nov. 5.} There wasa small spriokle of snow yesterday morn- ing, just to give us all a taste of what’s coming.

On Sunday, we had a drizzling rain, (which, we understand, was a snow storm in the region of Utica,) and this was succeeded by a gale from the northwest at night, which continued through the day yesterday, undera bright sunshine, making it as cold as mid winter. About eight inches of snow fell on the Ot- sego hills and at Sharon Springs on Sunday. _ Varieties, On Sunday morning last,between 10 and 11 o’clock, schooner Dorchester, from Great Wycomic river, Nor- thumberland county, Va., was accidentally knocked overboard by the boom, and sunk before assistance could reach’ him. ‘The schooner at the time was off Hawkin’s Point, in the Patapsco river.

On the part of the prosecution it was shown that some of the glass ware stolen, was subsequently disposed of by Moran to the proprietor of an oyster cellar. Lewis Lockwood, an accomplice of Moran’s, testified that he and Moran were jointly concerned in the burglary. In behalf of the accu tep-sister of his, testified that she gave him the glass-ware that was disposed of at the oyster cellar, and that the glasses had been in her possession for several years prior to that time.

In the month of August last, defendant was engaged in repairing house No. 267, and sent a quantity of room paper there, which was muislaid, and having inquired about the same from Mrs. Cooley, a misunderstanding arose, in the course of which the words imputed were alleged to have been ut- tered.

The present permanent floating debt of Broo! is six hundred thousand dollars (which cannot be liqui- dated until the year 1855) added to which there are judgments against the city amounting to upwards of one hundred thousand dollars. The proposed workhouse will not cost than fifty thousand dollars, and the new City Hall will at least be attended with ord of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars more. In dition to these heavy sums, the following projects, sential to the welfare of the city, and necessary adjuncts to its growth, must ere long be adopted, and go into ope- ration:—New ‘police and watch regulations, $50,000: ward maps, $20,000; additional public schools and teachers, $70,000; two parks, $150,000; and a supply of water for the whele population, at least a million and a half of dollars. These estimates are made by one of the oldest inhabi ants of the plac pipe es well ac- quainted with the aff nd wants of the city—and one who has held fer a long period a sigh position in its mu- nicipal government. Independent of the items thus fur- nished, an increased taxation must result from the esta- blishment of a hospital ; and it is seriously contem- plated to found a high school, in whieh a pes of the youth of the city may obtain a finished classical education and be prepared for collegiate stu- Such an institution will also add materially to the liabilities and expenses of the city, and there are many who have become alarmed at these heavy prospective burthens, and ready to oppose them with hearty zeal and determination, without calculating upon the correspond- ing advantages which must be derived, and the ultimate and permanent benefits that will inevitably accrue to the whole body of the people. ACrty Hatt ar Last—A Lar Session.—When we left the Common Council chamber of Brooklyn, at 10 o'clock on Monday eve , there was but little pros- pect of any action being by the members towards removing the secret session resolution in relation to the City Hall, or opening the long sealed budget of tacts which they have so carefully and cautiously kept from the view of their anxious and complaining,constituents— It appears, however, that some time after mindnight, and between that hour and two o’clock on Tuesday Cis a up to which period the board remained in session—the City Hall subject was publicly discussed, anda resolu- tion adopted by a strict party vote to accept the plans and specifications of Mr. Gamaliel King, the lately elected democratic member of the State Legislature. has now been done is for c »ntract to be entered into with some ofthe numeroue builders who have applied for the work, aud this busi will be attended to under the su pervision of the Committee on Lands and Places. The lowest proposal as yet received for the erection of the hall is one hundred and thirty thousand dollars. iA meeting of the members of the Repeal Association of Brooklyn, took place at Sweeny’s Hotel, in York street, on Monday evening, and transacted considerable business. The long existing differences among the several individuals composing this association are said now to be entirely settled, and harmony and unanimity once more reign among the ora- tors and leaders. We do not learn, however, that any very extraordinary success has attended their efforts to procure funds for the furtherance of the cause which they profess to advocate with so much devotedness, ener- gy and zeal. MrLancnouy axp Fara Accipent.—A fine youth, about seventeen years of age, named Charles Brown, a son of Mr. Lyman Brown, who resides at the corner of Main and Front streets, in this city, fell, on M ning,through the hatchway of the store of M , bridge, White & Co., 118 Pearl street, New York, with whom he was engaged asa clerk. While he was closiny the shutters in the third story, he accidentally stumble over something, and was thereby precipitated through the open hatch« ay, falling upon his head on the first floor. His skull received a severe fracture ; and he was immediately conveyed to the residence of his parents in Brooklyn, where every means were adopted for his re- covery, but in vain. He lingered until 10 o’clock yester- day morning, when he expired, having remained sense- less, without any intermission, from the time of the acci- dent. Yesterday afternoon, Andrew Oakes, Esq., one of the Coroner's of the County, held an inquest upon the body, when the abovementioned facts were elicited, and averdict rendered in accordance with them. We un - derstand that Dr. Rawsun, the New York Coroner, was on the point of sending to Brooklyn fer the body of the unfortunate young man, that he might hold the inquest, when he was informed that death did not take place within his jurisdiction. Caution To Hou ‘ens —Last Cees | between five and six o’clock, a well dressed man was discovered on the stairway of Mr. Owen Colgan’s house, having en- tered by the private door, which had carelessly been left unlocked. When detected, he stated as his excuse, that he had been directed to gu thither by some person in search of an individual for whom he had some tafe A 3 and Mr. C. being unwilling to have any trouble with him—or perhaps not doubting his assertion—permitted him to depart quietly.

Avornen Tarcyt Excunsiox—The Columbian Rifte- men, commanded by Captain Morris, proceeded to Jersey City yesterday on a target excursion, during which they were to partake of a dinner provided for them by Mr. Lynch, of the Thatched Cottage. Suppex Deatn.—Mr. Geerge Fuller, of Booklyn, aged about forty-five years, juddenly in New York, on Monday morning. He was for some time in the employ of Mr. George Van Brunt, the former proprietor of the refectory near the Fulton Ferry, and up to the time of his death,with Isaac Burtis, the present proprietor of the While engaged in attending to some busi- ness in New York, he was taken suddenly ill and ex- pired in two hours. It is supposed that he died in @ fit. He was an industrious, man, of temperate habits and social qualities, and much esteemed by all who knew nim. Ou, Contract.—The Brooklyn Common Council,find- ing that the oil which they last week contracted to pro- cure from Mr. WT. Hatch, for the use of the city, will not be suitable for the winter season, adopted a resolu- tion on Monday evening, directing the Lamp Committee to ascertain and report upon what terms Mr. Hatch will consent to so change his contract, as to furnish the city during the ensuing months, with winter bleached sperm instead of unbleached sperm, and with winter strained bleached whale north west coast oil, insteadfot winter strained whale oil, as designated in the original bargain. In connection with the subject of better light- ing the streets, the Street Commissioner was, at the same meeting, idlirected to enter into contracts with a certain firm for furnishing lamps for State, Garden, Co- lumbia, and Pacific streets, at $175 per lamp; and also to advertise for proposals for the requisite supply of lamp posts for the same streets. Potice Ovrice.—The charge of bigamy, which has been for some days pendii i Samuel Waring, was dispos dant being discharged. Several witness and among them the brother of the first wii testimony it appeared that Waring con lieved, at the time of his second marriage, that she was dead. He had like unitormly borne a good charac- ter fer honesty, industry and sobriety, which operated greatly in his favor; and as it would have answered no good purpose, under the circumstances, to punish him, he was set at liberty. He will not probably repeat the offence, as it generally brings its own punishment wi it. The magistrate hesitated whether he should sen- tence Waring to live with both wives. A Gooo Move. t the meeting of the Common Coun- cil on Monday evening last, Alderman Powell offered a resolution to’ reter to a special committed to inquire in- to the propriety of so amending the city or- dinances, as to abolish the unjust restrictions upon trade in the shape ofheavy charges for license to conduct regular and 1awiul business, and that the committee be requested to report the result of their deliberations to this board at their earliest convenience.

The city fathers of New York, who are accustomed to fare sumptuously in their tea and committee rooms, would nos have relished so humble and unsatisfactory a meal, and would have been greatly astonished to witn the apparent zest with which the magnates of Brooklyn munched this hard and uninviting repast.
