Considerable anxiety exists among those having friends and property on board, in con- sequence of news having been brought by the Ca- nada, that a tremendous gale blew trom the south- west the day after the United States left Southamp- ton. It4s our opinion that there 1s not the slightest ground for apprehension regarding her safety. From conversations had with several who came out in the Canada, we learn that it was the impres- sion onboard of that steamer, that the United States was safe. It 1s possible something may have hap} pened to her machinery, and her passage, conse- quently, retarded; but so long as there was plenty of gea room, her hull was of such immense strength, it_would gpass through almost any kind of a gule uninjured. There never was alfbetter sea boat afloat drumming the whig party, and putting down iade_ pendent «pinion, by private, indirect, and secret arrangements. All those journal's that have come out on that question, are quotes in the Evening Jowrna', because they have received their instruc- tions epecially and privately to take such and such a course ; otherwise their interests would not be attended to im the distribution ot the spoile emanating from Albany. The grea; body of the party, however, have nothing to do with th.s management. At such a crisis as this in our aational affairs, every sensible man, of all parties, sees clearly enough that a red-mouthed abolitionist ie not a fit person to be sent ag a repre- sentative of the great State of New York to the Senate of the United States. Ex-Governor Seward, throughout his whole career, has shown himeelt to be as rabid an ebolitionist as Mr. Giddings, of Ohio, Mr. Palfrey, ot Massachusetts, or Mr. Tuck, of New Hampshire. We have already shown that he counsels and advises a gross violation of the constitution, in order to carry out the purposes of the abolitionists. Such a man 18 not ft to be trusted with the responsibilities of a United States Senator; but in addition to that, ex-Governor Seward 18 a treacherous friend of General Taylor, and will be a treacherous friend of his administra- tion at Washington. Any man who would peram- bulate the State, writing private Jetters, stabbing the character, reputation aad good sense of General Teylor, while affecting to support him, 18 not fit to be trusted by any man orany party. He isnothing but a treacherous, double-faced man, in every point of view, and utterly unfit to represent this great State in the United States Senate. Ramroap MisMANAGRMENT IN THE UNITED Stares.—There seems to be a growing complaint recently, that the several railroads, in the central States particulary, have been groesly mismanaged n their finances and other departments. These complaints are designated in connection with the railroads in New York and Pennsylvania, includ- ing New Jersey. In New England, the manage- ment of railroads seems to have been conducted with more integrity and science. We fear very much that there is just ground for many of these complaints, as to the construction and management of the railroads 1n the central States. During the last few years, probably twenty mllions have been expended in railroads, within the geographical limits alluded to; and upon almost all occasions, in these constructions, the estimates of engineers and projectors have been awfully ex- ceeded by the subsequent disbursements. The original shareholders seem to have been in most eases completely fleeced of their property; and those who have possession of the management, with their friends, are the only persons who appear to make such speculations of any value or utility. In fact, there is a very strong impression extending abroad among the public, that those who get the than the United States. There is at present no cause foralarm. When we take into consideration the weather and the season, she 1s not yet much beyond her time. The Foreign News. The foreign news received by the Canada is not particularly exciting in a political sense, yet itis quite mteresting in a variety of emaller poiats. The pelitical affairs of Europe remain in statu quo The Pope is still in the Neapolitan dominions,and during his absence, the Romans were thinking of establishing a republic, a fact which may hasten the return of his His Holinees to his capital. Throughout Germany and Italy, matters remain quiet, although it 1s probable there is a great deal brooding under the surface, which may break out suddenly one of those days, in some unexpected quarter, with a terrific explosion. France seems to enjoy a tolerable degree of quiet since the inauguration of the new President. Louis Napoleon, with all his popularity and his tremendous majority, is beginning to feel the troubles of his situation. It seems that he came very near, one day, in consequence of a mal apropos letter which he sent to one ot his ministers, break- ing up his entire cabinet, the members of which threatened to resign in a body, 1n consequeace thereof. The President, however, explained him- self satisfactorly; but yet two members retired; the rest continued at their posts. From the tone of the French journals, it is evident that there is a good deal of trouble ahead for Louis Napoleon, as long as the present National Assemb!y continues in sessicn. His friends, accordingly, want a dissolu- tion of that body, and the subject has been already agitated in various ways. One of the most curious symptoms of the present condition ot France is, the movements being made, in the several departments, to revive their local legisla- tures, for the purpose of local legislation, and with the view of forming a check to the cen- tral power in Paris. This is a most excellent symp- tom, and indicates the progress of political know- ledge among the French people, as it certainly strengthens the hope that they will be able to main- tain a republican form of government, without giving up everything tothe central power in Paris The establishment of independent councils, or lo- cal legislature, for the management of local busi- neee, would be somewhat similar to the system in operation in this country with our State legisla- tures. Such a system is a most important element in republican governments, in a large and extended country, with a widespread population. The intelligence from England does not amount to much. Busines: seems to be reviving, and pol.tical agitation appears to be rather dull. Cobden, and the reformers of that class, are endeavoring to create an agitation, and start a new movement, under the shape of financial re- form. No doubt, the terrible extravagance of the government of that country, and its vast ex- penditures, form a sufficient reason for any cla: of society, in parliament or out of it, to organize some plan by which they may be cut down or mo- derated; but financial reform in England, under the present form of government and the existing for- mation of eoeiery, is almost visionary. The sub- traction of afew milllons annually from the enor- mous exp’nditures, would be only asa drop of water to the ocean. The most interesting matter connected with England, which we have received by the last arrival, is the breaking out of the Cali- fornia fever in London, Liverpool, and other parts of the country. The excitement, it appears, is as great there as it is here; and we should not at all be surprised to see as many expeditions trem Britich ports around Cape Horn, to Calitornia, as ‘tue Nav: 6 U.S frigate Congress, the Pacific, anchored ie Hampton TI jones. jain Lavalette, from Roads on Wednes- ces ete La Pas, Gators on ast Left in port, the U § shi Ohio. sloop ot war Warren, and store ships Lexington id Southampton Tb. sloop of war Dale railed a few deye previous for Mazatian, The *quedron were mak- jug their preparations to lea 1g thet p leave for Monterey, Upper Every thing quiet.

Tur Exxcrion oy Unitan States Senator, and Punic Orinion.— Thurlow Weed collects, 1n the Albany Evening Journal, a number of extracts from country papers in the interior of the State, every one of which is favorable to the election of ex-Governor Seward as Senator, and puts them forth as public opinion on the subject among the whig journals and the whig party throughout New York. This is merely a revival of the old system of dictation and party management of the press, which flourished eo long under the auspices of Martin Van Buren and the Albany Argus. Whea. ever those politicians wanted to drum the Legisla- (ure into any particular line of conduct, they would send a private circular to all the leading journals in different parts cf the State, and those journals would immediately come forth with editorial arti- cles of the complexion required, and all indicating one and the same paternity. The Argus collected all of these precious articles in a bunch, and used to publish them as being the very embodiment ot the opinion of the democratic party, Thurlow Weed 1s merely playing the same card and attempting the same game, for the pur, 0.e of management of the railroads into their hands, use the funds for the purpose of making their own private fortunes, out of the expenditures, as fast aa possible, and then escape in the general wreck, without responsibility and without risk. Human nature is the same all over the world. The history of railroad management in France and England exhibits similar examples ot extrava- gance and waste, in using the railroad funds for private emolument. This has occurred in those countries, even to a greater extent than in the history of railroad construction in this country. The result of this bad management in England has been, to defeat and destroy many such under- takinge, of great utility, and to leave vast lines of half finshed worksin total ruin. We cannot expect greater integrity or different results in any rail- road construction in this country, when the ma- nagement is employed for the advancement of manegers’ fortunes.
