NEW YORK HERALD. New York, inday, November 8, 1646. [SS eee The Foreign News—Arrivel of the Hcitanala. By the arrival of this steamer we have sixteen days later intelligence from. all parts of Europe. The news, in a commercial point of view, is highly important, and must add millions to the wealth of this country. The advance in cotton reaches. three-eighths of a periny per pound, and the advance in corn about four shillings sterling per quarter. There had been large sales of the former, but the high prices of the latter had check- ed sales, The political intelligence possesses a great deal of interest. The entente cordiale no longer exists between England and }?rance, and Franee and Spain bad formed an alliance similar to that which has for sometime past existed between France and Great Britain. There is no probabl- lity of the rupture becoming very serious, but it changes the relative position of the principal powers of Europe. In spite of the protests of England, the marriage of the Queen of Spain and the Infanta_had been consummated, and there was very little probability of any difficulty growing out of the movement. ‘The Position of Parties In the Legisiature of Now York. The late election hasgiven a very interesting aspect to the politics of this State, We have a Governor who is halo whig and half anti-renter; a Lieutenant-Governor who is three-fourths dem- oérat and one-fourth anti-renter; an Assembly strongly whigs, and # Senate with a democratic majority ef ten. Thws, there is no ascendancy of any party—each is a eheck on the other; and the position of parties will give rise to the’ most com- plicated manauvering on every. side, that has ever occupied the vits of either party since the time that John Van Buren dealt in stocks and Benjamin F. Butler sighed for the stated preaching of the gospel at Sancty Hill. We believe that a U. S. Senater is to be elected in place of the Hon. John A. Dix, whose term expires in 1847. Will the whigs, hav- ing the preponderance on joint hallot, be able to elect their Senator? Orwill the Senate, having a majority of ten in their body, refuse to go into an election? If so, the great State of New York will be for some time without a representation in the Senate of the United States, and we shall be in the condition in which Termessee was placed some yearsago, This will be particularly funny, to say the least. Will the locofocos of New York be able to re- cruit their strength before the next Presidential election? A great deal depends on this. We endeavored hefore the election, to restore harmony autiong them, but they. would not hearken to our advice. They now see their folly, and we scarce- ly pity them. But there is'yet hope, ifthey promise like good children, to mend their ways, agree. to- gether, put away their differences, and aboye all, to abide religiously anel scrupously by our al- vice. By such means they, may, ere long, regain that ascendancy which. they have now lost by their stupidity and folly.

He wasno whig, Mr. Webster said, who could look for any through a violation of the constitution. Such a had been charged upon the = here, but it was y jig here contemplated any action not authorized b: constitu. tion Looking to our existing condition of wide spread prosperity, our past history, we could all see that the element at the foundation of all, that by which we were powerful at home and respected abroad, was the constitution of the United States. It was our duty then to frown indignantly on the first attempt to shake the pillars of this great institution of our liberty.— It was founded about the time of the great French Re- yolution, which shook the whole of the Eui n world, and the influences of which were not unfelt in this country. What carried us through that eventful crisis? It was this C: of the United States. With him atthe helm to whom its first administration was entrasted, it became the ark that bore us safely over thé ocean of the world, Eolus had let loose all his storms. There were at that ¢risis but two helmsmen ‘in the world who avoided the danger—one Palinurus in this country, and one in the old world. ‘The one he of whom the phrase is used that he was “the pilot that weathered the storm,” the other, here—a greater man and a Vpn pilot—he who not only weathered the storm, but controlled it. This Constitution, therefore, which had ge! for us, which we now. mi it done so much aintain and defend, was the true aiiving point forall in lefend, Ir ni d foreve! true whigs of the United States, now r. Ifwe should say that because we are dissatisfied in this or that respect in the action under this constitution, we would therefore undertake to or impair it, or to get rid of it, we should act most unwisely—and not more wisely 0 if should desire to be able to strike down the sun from heaven, because the moon sometimes eclipses its light, and a cloud passes over its disc. Mr. Webster's 31 h was listened to with the great- est attention, and interrupted by frequent and hearty bursts of applause, and wes greeted at the close by im- mense cheering.

An Albany paper, in speaking of this road, remarks that “ there is an evident determination on the part of capitalists in that city, and along the proposed line between New York and Albany, in the counties of Columbia, Putnam, and Westchester, to connect the island of Manhattan by means of a railroad, with this city and the West. The Hudson River Railroad not having met with that success anticipated, the project is abou, to be abandoned, we hear, and of course, the Only road to be depended on, is the Harlem road. In less than thirty days, fifty-two miles of the Harlem road will be completed and in running condition. In six months more, it is supposed it will be connected with the Alba- ny and West Stockbridge road, which will open a direct communication between Albany and the great metropo- lis. Men of enterprise and wealth in this city, and in the different counties through which it is to pass, are de" termined on completing it immediately. The right kind of men are busy, and we have, no hesitation in saying that they will succeed. “As we remarked before, the read will be completed to Dover, the centre of Dutchess county, before many months. This will open a new trade with the rich and flourishing counties through which it is to pass, and will give a new impetus to the business prospects of the road. We are not aware of a railroad in the country that has a more flattering prospect before it than the Albany and Harlem. It is impossible to form an idea of the immense amount of freight and travel which passes from New York and Albany, from the Ist of December to the mid- dle of April. It is increasing every year; and if direct road was once in operation, business would more than double.” The receipts of the Southwestern Railroad Company of South Carolina, for October, 1845 and 1846, were as annexed:— fe ante Rasyapao.

Important from Mcxico— Despatches for the Pasifie— Important Movements. ‘There isa letter in town, of a late date, from” Vere ‘Cruz, Santa Anna had left the city of Mexico for Mon- terey, at the head of ten thousand.men, the guardein the Gity‘of Mexico,being composed of militia, entirely. In former letter, I informed you that out of the 90,000 led for by the Mexican government, 10 000 would ‘extent of the number that would rally around the hero of Tampico. The next despatches from Monterey will bring news of importance; it will be known if there isa probability of ® fight at Saltilto. Commodore Sloat, Mr J. Parrott, U.S. Consul at Ma zation, and Lieut. Watson ofthe Navy, left Coleman’s la: night for the railroad depot. The Commodore on his re- turn home has been most cordially received by the Presi- dent and Cabinet, and very deservedly #0. Notwith- standing the bustle made about his inactivity, he toot possession of California without knowing war hed been declared. Lieut. Watson proceeds to New York for the purpose of chartering a vessel for Chagres, apd goes to the Pacific as bearer of despatches. I am of opinion thet orders have gone out to seize upon the whole of lower California, in order to enable us to secu re the commerce ofthe Gulf, which is of much impertance, as well as some fine ports for whalers to resort to. Col. Mason goes out in company with Lieut. Watson, it is supposed to supersede Col. Stevenson in the com- mand of the California regiment. Mr Parrott proceeds tothe Gulf of Mexico or to Havana—he has recently filed in the Department of State, a moat valid claim against the Mexican government for the seizure and de: tention in 1845, of property of much value. This gentleman isa great favorite of the Navy.— All who have visited the Pacific have parteken of his unbounded hospitality, and the marks of attention shown him by all the officers who have been on that station, is a proof that they never forget the kind and hospitable treatment they receive when abroad.

Account of the late great rains, and the existing disas- trous flood in the Potomac river—A windfall to the Woodcatchers—Wright's Defeat—Father Ritchie’s Epi- taph on the Administration—E fect of the reported split in the Cabinet, and the Criminality of the Herald—Dis- tinguished Visiters in Town. The past week has*given us a very fair illustration of wet weather, as it has been raining nearly all the time, with a cold and most dismal norther still prevailing, and which has prevailed for the last twenty-four hours§From. the sources of the Petomac down to tidewater at this city, the flood of waters has been unusually destructive. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal is in many places buri- ed under the expansion of the river—towns and villages are submerged, from Cumberland down to Harper’s Fer- ry, (to say nothing of Georgetown,)—stacks of grain and hay, fences, farmers’ outhouses and bridges, have been mingled indiscriminately with the mass of lumber, logs, trees and rubbish floating down upon the flood. The woodcatchers of the three cities of Georgetown, Wash- ington and Alexandria, have been gathering a most bountiful harvest from the bountiful river. Frequent piles of a hundred cords, more or less, of boards, scant- ling, fragments of buildings, limbs of trees, and saw logs are piled along the shore, and day and night our fresh water wreckers with boats, and carts and drays, are employed in securing the drift. The bridge builtby the government across the river at this city, extending @ mile and a quarter from shore to shore, has torn down by the heavy current of the main channel] en the south side, just after having undergone the repairs deemed necessary for tho season. This will bea great drawback to the people on the Virginia side, who supply one-third of the provisions consumed in Was! yn; but with proper energy, the breach may be closed up in ten days. Against. thep iles across the North Channel, whole acres of drift have accumulated. the torrent swell- ing out below like a whirl . The solid mass is thronged with meu throwing the timber upon the bridge. which is covered with a string of carts, employed in hauling it sway. Where wood is from four to six percord, such a descent of the seasonable material is quite a windfall, many families having already collected supplies for several winters toceme. But half a million of dollars will scarcely cover the damages of the in the Potomac and its principal tributaries. The Chesa- peake and Ohio canal is fairly closed for the season, and two hundred mile ill be reqs tr Vs reparation, ro hundred miles, wi mired tr its \e The year has been most tomarkshle for floods and storms,.and the destruction of life and rty in perhaps without a parallel from these causes, in the history of this country.

RANCHERO. ‘Waournaron, Nov. 6, 1846. The remains ot Col. Cross, (who was murdered by the Mexican rancheroes on the Rio Grande, in April last) were brought over with this evening's train from Balti- more. The Washington Light Infantry were at the depot awaiting the arrival, and formed the escort to the residence of the widow of the deceased, where the mor tal relics of the departed officer will probably remain a- day. 00 two betes thele Aas imcmment._ The Signe i ex: cessively dark/and rainy, and the melancholy procession was guided up the Avenue by torchlight to the funeral music of a military band. Such is the fate of war, and especially this Mexican wer—for between the probabili- ties of being carried off by disease, or ambuscade, or open Sighting, the chances of life and death ere nearly balanced. The greater should be the honor fore to the army e1 in this disastrous war, and the reater our veneration of the memory of such as die on the fields of Mexico in obedience to the call of country. Such was the fate of Col Cross. His life was sacrificed for his country, and honored be his memory, and of all the brave men who have sealed their devotion to the common cause with their lives. The President open how cs it, for the enter- rite ap- pear tobe sully depres. way that man suffers more from the defeat of Silas Wright and the democratic ticket , in York State, than Col. Polk. He has coi ly carried out the obli- firmly be- eae he was clected, and we ve that no Executive officer ever labored with a more earnest desire to meet Se gene approbation of the country in the discharge of his official duties. But the contentions of the cliques will not admit of or comm n civility ; and it is the singular misfor- ©e President, that in standing from all cliques, the stands alene—in lending his influence to no faction BMparticular, he loses the countenance of all. Still ce has been faithful to the schedule upon which he wast ed, and his desertion is far less a cause of self: reprolach than of self-gratulation We therefore the Executive feels desertion more keenly than is necessary.
