They are bound to this port, and the one which first arrives will bring us much later intelligence from the old world. The Election of United States Senator— Double-faced Demagogulsm. We remember reading a story in one of the middie-age romances, which gave a thrilling ac- count of a monster with a face before anda tace behind, who lived on the shores of a fresh-water lake, in a remote distri2t of a certain kingdom; and whose method of existing was to collect troops of young boys, whom he fed and fattened in a me- nagerie, and then devoured. The fattest and best were taken to his kitchen, and cooked for his din- ner ; and those of the little fellows who would not fatten, were putin some out-house and hashed, to be afterwards used as food for the hounds of the double-faced. monster, preparatory to their being taken’ out on a fox-hunt. This curious freak of the wild literary taste, in & comparatively wild age, is more illustrative of the character of politicians in a more enlightened one, and of the present time, than might perhaps strike the mind of the casual observer at first. For the last twenty-five years, Martin Van Buren, of Kinderhook, has besn the double-faced monster of the democratic party in this State. When he was in the pursuit of power, and in the enjoymeat of the spoils of office, he was only picking up and feeding the small boys and girls of the party—patting them on the cheek, and caress- ingthem, until they had attained a sufficient growth to be butchered, dressed, and cooked tor his democratic table. For many years, this sys- tem of fat living on the democratic party was.en- joyed; but when it tould no longer furnish fine fat subjects, the double-faced monster sent the whole family to the shambles, and had them dressed and cooked, to gratify his blood-hounds previous to a race. Allegory aside—when the democratic party of New York could no longer feed Mr.Van Buren, he turned round and stabbed them to the heart, and destroyed their ascendancy, as we have seen in the recent election. Thisis a briet history of one double-faced political monster in New York; and now that the whig par. ty is in the ascendant in thie State, a similar his- tory is about to be developed, in the election of a counterpart of that double-faced monster, in ele- vating Wm. H. Seward to the United States Se- wate by the whigs in Albany. In speaking thusot Mr. Seward, we do not do so without having tacts to sustain us in what we assert. During the last canvase, this double-faced demagogue, while. he of Assembly, on the 10th inst. This interesting report on one of the most im- portant branches of our manufactures and pro- ducts, is now before us. with a synopsis of the most important statements it contains, It appears that the whole quantity of salt manufactured on the reservation during the We present our readers jast year, has been four mullion seven hundred thirty-seven thousand one hundred twenty-six bushels, being seven hundred eighty-five thousand seven hundred and seventy-four bushels more than jast year. The several places at which this amount of sulthas been produced and inspected, are Sali- na, Syracuee, Liverpool, and Geddes. " The revenue to the State derived from the salt worke, hasbeen, tor the past year, $47,531 76. Of this sum, $26,040 30 has been expended in va- rious ways, leaving a net revenue of $21,491 46 for the past year. The profits of salt making and its production, have considerably increased, which the Superin- tendent attributes, with every appearance of jus- tice, chiefly to the reduction ot duties from six cents to one cent a bushel, by the act of Assembly of 1846. The Illnois and Michigan Canal has also helped greatly to this, as now a market 1s opened at St. Louis for our salt, which has began to displace the Kanawha salt, which hitherto has supphed the Western packers. The use of salt for agricultural purposes is also extending. The re- port here goes into the question of the merits of salt for agricultural uses, and proceeds to give re- ports of the analysis of various ealts, which it 19 uselegs to present to our readers. A general his- tory of the salt manufacture of this State 1s then given, containing some highly interesting facts, as we take them to be. ARRIVAL OF AN ALLEGED Stave Vessei.—The bark Ann D. Richardson, seized off Rio, arrived at this port on Friday night, in charg? of Lieut. Sinclair. Charles W. Storer, master of the ves- sel, brought home in her, was arrested yesterday forenoon on a warrant, charged with being em- ployed in the transportation of slaves from the coast of Africa. The circumstances of the case are said to be somewhat like those of the Laura. She had no slaves on board. The A. D R. was formerly owned here. She went out to Rio, and was sold there by Capt. Peabody, who lately re- tured to thiscity. All her papers, including her register, were then returned to the Custom House in this city. Sreamsnir Crxscent Ciry.—We are under many obligations to Captain Stoddard, and other officers of this fine steamship, for furnishing us with our correspondence, and also with intelligence trom Panama, immediately after her arrival. Police intelligence, A Singular Charge of Fraud.—OfMloers Stephens and Leland. cf thelower police, arrested yesterday. James EH. Wallin, on a warrant issued by Justice McGrath, nds charged with making a fraudulent his property, for the express purpose of creditors out of their just dacs. It ap- facts set forth in the affidavit «f Mr. firm of Pfeffer & turing jewelers 35 Courtlandt st.. t] the proprietor of two jewelry sto of Muiberry etreet and Chatham, and t e Bowery. There stores are porgea to contain goods valued at $10,000. and that Mr. Wallin was indebted to Pfeiffer & Franche rome $797, and to avoid paying this debt, he bad made a fraudulent assignment of his pro- Frehe to his tather and brother, thereby defrau jing is creditors; and not onlysthat, but wa: as to le for California in a veerelon Hondey. Now for the o' side, Mr. Wallin asserts most positively that the charge fe unfounded, and that the note for $500 drawn by him, beld by Pfeiffer & Franche, is not due until the ‘was making speeches apparently in favor of Gen. Taylor for the presidency, was engaged at the same time in wnting private letters, stabbing his pros- pects and character in the dark, and laying a foun- dation for a junta in the whig, similar to that by which Mr. Van Buren reached power inthe de- mocratic party, and ultimately to destroy 1t when it was no longer useful to his purposes. Here 18 the evidence complete. In the Rochester Datly Democrat we finda letter written by Seward in August of last year, at the most critical period of the canvass, addressed to solve an inquiry made by E. J. Fowle, D. B. Bissell, and Eli Sheldon:— Avavan, Aug. 26, 1848 My Dear Sir:-Om my arrival here this morning, after spending two weeks at Livingston and Senaca men who obtained from him, for a pre!

Sickness and Death among the California Brmigrants, INTELLIGENCE FROM CUBA AND JAMAICA. -Nothing from California, Bie. Se.

It appears that the emigrants to California suffer very much on the route from Chagresto Panama, and at both of those places, betore they get to the gold region. The latest news from Panama is of the 8th inst. The steamer Calitornia had not reached that port trom New York. According to the verbal ac- counts there was plenty to eat at that place ; that hotels on the “Yankee plan” were starting into ex- ietence ; and that there were three vessels “ up” for California, two of which were schooners. There were three vessela at Chagres on the 9th inst., pamely:— Brig Anne and Julia, Pratt, from Cob: York.

She had sixty passengers, on their route to California. The bark John Benson, Welden, sailed on the 8th of January for Santa Martha. Our special diapatch trom Panama 18 of the 7th inst. Whilst publishing this letter, we would refer toan account which we published on the 23d De- cember, of the [sthmus route, wherein the difficul- ties and dangers which our present correspondent dilates on, were fully pointed out. It will be seen that that account has been fully confirmed in every particular, and, mdeed, more than con- firmed:— OUR PANAMA CORRESPONDENCE, Panama, Jan, 7, 1349. Eprror or THe Heratp: Drak Sin— Perhaps some of our fellow passengers have written you by the Crescent City, and given such information as should be laid ‘vefore the public, with regard to the route to Califoraia. But lest it may have been neglected, I propose to say a few words on the subyect, hoping that the truth may ave some lives, and induce our good people at home to mind their business. Every body knows what asea yoyage is, and though not pleasant, it can be endured. That is the height of felicity compared with the journey trom Ch: 10 Cruces by boat; and the land travel trom Cruces to Pa- nama, if survived, 1s not likely to be endured a second time by the same individual No urgency short of life and death should bring a man on this route ; fora female it is utterly out of the ques- tion. It has taken most of our passengers eight days to get from Chagres to this cy and many of those by the John Benson and the Falcon are still on the road. The canoes from Chagres to Cruces cost $25 tor each person, and $12 tor a mule bringing a single trunk from the latter place, have been paid by many. Infact, there are not half mules enough in the whole isthmus to supply the demand. Permit me to go a little into detail. . Chagres is a collection of 100 negro huts, with walls (when they have any) and roofs thatched with palm. A few turkey buzzards ornament each root ; and when it ceases to rain, they hold them- selves out in humble :mitation of a spread eagle, to dry. Low and swampy, it looks the abode of pes- tlence, as itis. Now, in the dry season, it 8 ten tumes a day, and the earth is filed to satura- tion. In the eight wet months of the year, it must be decidedly moist. We left the place with all convenient speed—some in large boats which could make but little progress against the strong current; others in small ones, which could hold but two pereons besides the two boatmen, and which made good progress up the stream. All had to sleep one night between Chagres and Cruces ; the greater number were two nights on the way—some were three or four. The naked boatmen are generally efficient, tolerably honest, and civil. The eieep- ing places ave the same as the Chagres huts, with mud floors, and nothing to eat. Ita hen be found, the price 1s_a dollar, and seventy-five cents tor cocking. No bread, no sugar, no tea, no milk, no meat. Even these huts are few and far be- tween, though the river banks are beautiful in their tropical vegetation, and seem capable of produciag every thing which the heart can desire. But thre cuise of floode 18 on the land, and itis difficult to imogine that good can ever come ont of it. Cruces is nearly as low, and quite us disagteea- ble, a8 Chagres. We were compelled to rem: there some days, in consequence of the impos bilbty of obtauwing transportation. Of the road from Cruces to Panama, it is impossible to give aa idea. The liveliest imagination cannot picture it. Mud holes, in which the mules mire up to their bellies ; cartloads of boulder stones, which, in the time of the Spanizh galleons, may have formed a pavement; ravines worn deep in the solid rock, and only wide enough for a mule’s toot below, an Exeiosion or A Steam Bortrk.—About 4o’clock of the afternoon of yesterday, the boiler at Spear & Co's. foundry, on Water street, exploded with tremendous force and effect.

How the | the party ever got acrcss, I um yet unable to de le. This much 18 certain, that most ot them practically asevmed the panteloons, eaveliers around them, Hut the saodest part of our story remains to be told. At Cruces, several cases of virulent cholera Morbus,tome think it cholera, appeared among us. Mr. Lockett, trom New Orleans, was the ficat Vieum; then Capt. Elliott, of the quartermaster's de -itment, and afterwards Mr. Birch, of New Orienus, ond Mr. George W.

Un Neoaito [stmeno. THE NEWS FROM CUBA. Our advices from Havana are to the latest mo- ment. We have received the Diario de la Habana and Faro Industrial to the 22d instant, inclusive. They contain no news, however, being almost en- tirely filled with the European news received here by the Washington. Our letters are annexed :— OUR HAVANA CORRESPONDENCE. Havana, Jan, 22, 1849. Mr. J. G. Bennett: Dear Sin— i A The Crescent City leaves this afternoon, at 4 P M., and the Yeabel has left this morning for Charleston. The Ravel family were taken out of the Yeabel, and sent on board of the brig Carleton, to finish the three days of quarantine. Mr. Wm. Reed, of New York, who had taken hia passport to leave in the Crescent City, died yesterday ot con- sumption. The bark Amazon arrived yesterday trom Bangor. The Viennoise children or dan- seuses are sinking money very fast. Havana, Jan. 22, 1849, _ Mr. J. G. Bennett—Allow me to write a few lines about the miserable word cholera, cholera ! which, so they say, has taken ui its lodging in the heart of the city of New York, and of New Orleans. The newspapers have done a great deal of mischief, and paralized business more here than in any other part of this island ; it is very setae to see how few men composing the Board ot Health 1n the two mammoth cities, New York and New Orleans, (no doubt men of talent as doctors,) should have pronounced the cases as cho- lera, when the majority of others, men of of as much talent and knowledge, 1f no more, as those of the Board of Health, have pronounced said cases to be dysentery, or pbilious and ship fever, neither of which are contagious. It 1s rather hard to see two hundred passen- gere, by sundry vessels, put into quarantine tor twenty days, from piaces where they think that the cholera 18, or has been, and for eight days when from porta of the Un‘ted States where sai epidemic 18 not, and hasnot existed. Now-a days, atew simpletons have the power to rule millions of wise and talented men. Many of the hotels here will have to sbut up, because all the passon- gers are living on the water, like the low class of people in China. ‘he American sloop of war Albany had sailed last week for the windward Islands. The ened General has entirely recovered, and has taken the command again. Wehave had a long spell of dry weather, and no doubt the sugar crop will be short this year. We had a fire last night which has destroyed two houees, a grocery, and the tront ot another in Orailly street, corner of Havana street. The engines here are not worth a cent; the fire- men make a great deal of noise, but do little work. The engines of the two Spanish men-of-war did more good, but they came too late on the spot.— While using their axes or other tools, they all sapped to light their sigarita! An engine of New York 18 worth four of those here, and the Yankee boys havea little more spunk and go-aheaditive- ness. THE INTELLIGENCE FROM JAMAICA. We have received the Kingston Morning Jour- nal to the 16th instant, which is twenty-two days Jater than our previous accounts. That paper is filled with articles relative to American steam- ehips, the gold excitement, &c., &c. We make a few extracts:— fan. 16 Tus Crescent City.—This 6 did rennet was visited by s Jarge number of Indies on Sanda: ing ye On the former day she must 'y part of which the cabins s: fitted up seems to strike every one with cularly the ladies’ saloon, which looks its appearance.
