Mr. Bennet NEW YORK HERALD. | New York, 'T’ The Weekly Herald. along the Po, Conner, All the important foreign news, the in- hem teiligy sce from California, &e., &e., will be pub- on Swi lished in this number of the Weekly Mage Our correspondence and file of papers brought ing. We refer our readers to the outside of this day’s Herald for several very interesting extracts from the papers. The foreign markets will be found under the commercial head. ‘The Progress of Annexation—Our New Ter- ‘itory on the Pacific. We give on ths outside of to-day’s paper, a se- ries of letters from our special correspondents at Monterey and Mazatlan, in California, embracing ions of our squadron and people in con- ng the acquisition of that territory.— These letters also give a comprehensive view of the state ofthe country under its native, or rather its -au rulers, and present a startling pic'ure al absence of security for lie or pro- perly under the imbecile government which has hitherto exercised authority in California e learn from these letters that the country has kept embroiled by the Mexican governor and ommander of the forces, each disputing the other’s authority, und asserting and sustaining his owy with violence and bloodshed. The peo- ple, who are mostly engaged in agricultu- val pursuits, have been kept in a state of continual alarms by the dissensions of these two opposite factions, and have been obliged to defend their lives and property by the strong hand, the laws being entirely pros- trated. The Indians, taking advantage of the im- becility of the government, have pillaged and murdered with impunity, and the population,who are, the greater number, of Mexican extraction, though originally attached to their own govern- meni, are now so wearied with the perpetual broils and bloodshed which the authorities pos- sessed neither the power nor the inclination to | check, have not only patiently but cheerfully giv- | en in their adherence to the rule of our govern- ment. Commodore Sloat’s proclamation, which we published some time since, has inspired them with confidence that their rights will remain un- molested, and that their worship will be respect- ed by our people. The general order, which we publish for the first time to-day, proves the deter- mination of that excellent officer to give no cause ofcomplaint to those over whom he raised the flag of hiscountry. He is now succeeded in com- | mand by Commodore Stockton, an officer every way worthy of his trust—a man of unflinching ly a thrice told tale. of the Commodore was raising the United States flag over ench town in the territory, and that he | had sent out several parties on horseback to scour the country in pursuit of Castro, who has been mainly instramental in keeping the country in its former state of anarchy and confusion. The Commodore had also issued a proclamation call- | ing upon the people to meet and elect oflicers for ‘Thus we see that this beautiful region is now virtually a portion of United States territory. It now only remains to appoint a Governor and ter- ritorial officers, to give strength and solidity to enactments and regulations for the protection of lite and property, the sale of land, and other mat- ters requiring grave consideration, as shail in time establish a solid, vigorous State on the shores of tho Pacific, bound in the tles of unity and brother- hood to this grand confederation of ours. | The annexation of California will be of eminent | ndvantage to the people of that country, as well | as @ vast accession of strength toour Union.

Bailey, had arrived from Liverpool. Although Capt. B. has always made remarkably quick passages, the public could hardly believe the telegraphic report. It was all correct, however. This fine ship, under the guidance of Capt. B., has actually ar- rived in the short rum of sixteen days over the At- tantic, She left Liverpool on the 2d inst., in the afternoon, and arrived off this port on Tuesday, and was up to the city yesterday at dinner time, cerrences at Fayal.

Exrrxsion or Wittiam Staeet.—Some action was lieve, by the city fathers, treet to Chatham—at any rate, itis time be had. Nassau st. is too narrow for the bu- iaess of which it has now become the thoroughfare—it could not be widened but at immense inconvenience and er part of Chatham street is, in its tceteras, not in keeping with the improve- ments of the day. William street, itself, is rendered al- most useless as a general avenue by its abrupt and nar- row termination—all these difficulties could be obviatod . Nassau street would be aperabundant circulation; the shanties removed or renovated; and William sireet become of easy access and of great bene- fit to the to and fro travelling public.

MONEY MARKET. Wednesday, Nov. 18—6 P.M. The stock market continues very much depressed ; and prices are steadily settling down to the lowest rates. The movements of the government in relation to the war, the demand for more troops, and the prospect efa protracted state of things, similar to that now expe- rienced, have taken the stiffness out of the market, 1nd driven speculators almost entirely out of the market. &. There were sales of the United States Sixes,{new lo an, at } per cent premium, at the upper board to-day, and 6}4 per cent premium offered for the old governm ent .

Kentucky is one of the richest and most prosperous States in the Union. It hasa very trifling debt, compared with its resources, and its credit has, at all times, been preserved. Tho mania for internal improvements never became very deep rooted in Kentucky, and the people, therefore, escaped those evils which their immediate neighbors have suffered so severely from.
