WEWS FOR CALIFORNIA, THE WEEKLY HERALD. ‘The steamships Crescent City and Ohio will leave ‘this port, on Tuesday, with the mails and passengers for California, The O. will leave at one o'clock, and ‘the C. C, at three o'clock. ‘We sball publish an edition of the J¥eekly Herald, at ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, to go in the steamers. It wil] contain the latest intelligence from all parts of the world, to the hour of publication, including local news, the marriages aud deaths in all parts of the coun- try rince the departere of the last mail, and the names of the passengers sailed for the modern El Dorade. Single copies, in wrappers, ready for the mails, can De obtained at the office, at sixpence. News from Ail Parts of the World, Our columns of this merning are filled with news from all parts of the world. Very late advices were received yesterday from Califorma, South ‘America, Europe, the West Indies, Madeira, &c., &e. News, like rain, pours upon us. The Empire City. ‘This steamer may arrive at any moment. She may have the California mails on board. She will bring the details of the month later intelligence from the Gold Region, telegraphically reported in another column Arrival of the Cambria—Condition of Eu- rope—Further Prospect of an Era of Spe- eulation—Rise in Cotton and Consols, We publish, in another part of this day’s Herald, as much of the Eurepean news brought to this eountry by the steamship Cambria, as we were enabled to get by telegraph yesterday. The ac- count is rather meagre; but we shall place the news in full before our readers to-morrow, for we ex- pset to receive, by mail, our foreign exchanges and correspondence in the course ef this morning. The intelligence is exceedingly interesting and important. ‘There is no danger of a war breaking out between Turkey, (assisted by France and Eng- Jand) on the one side, and Russia on the other, in wonsequence of the demand of the Emperor Nichc- Jas for the extradition of the gallant Kossuth and his associates. British stocks, it appears, are in- ereasing in value, which is among the best symp- toms of the continuance of peace. The Czar, no doubt, wished to sound the public pulse of Europe, and try what a little bluster would do; but having geen such a unanimous determination among the principal powers to resist his pretensions by force, if no other plan would succeed, he has wisely de- termined upon not facing the storm, which persis tance in his extraordinary demand, or the carrying mmto efiect hie designs on Turkey, would unques- tuonably cause throughout the whole of the Old World. In fact, we never expected for a moment that he would push his demand to the extreme point, when we saw the course which England and France announced they would pursue, in the event of his considering the refusal of the Porte to deli ver up the Hungarian refugees a casus belli, and of his carrying out his threat. The most interesting pont connected with this intelligence is the further advance in the quota- tions for cotton in the English markets. Thisis a matter of extreme importance to the whole United States, and to the South in particular. If the ad- vanced rate continues for a short time, it will be more valuable to the varied and multitudinous in- terests of this country, than the product of the gold mines in California for ayear. The influence will be felt in every city, town, and village in the coun- try, and will tend to encoursge and promote the spirit of speculation which has just awoke, after a period of repose siace 1836 and "37. Both consols and cotton have advanced in the English markets; and thore two commodities have been, in times part, and are at present, the great levers of epecu- lation — the great Archimedean screw, which moves and exalts every thing in the speculative world. ‘We have, on a fermer occasion, referred to the course which things have taken withia a few months past, on both sides of the Atlantic, and to the great probability which existed of our being about to enter upon scenes of speculation similar to thove of 1818, 1826, end 1836 and ‘S creased price of cotton in the Liverpool market, as we learn by this arrival, will tend to expand and give strength to it, and bring nearer to us that wildness and licentiousness which it assumes when it becomes uncontrollable—as well as that devastation and wreck of fortune which invaria- bly follow all such unnatural and unhealthy ex- citements. The prudent will take care to be cau- tious ; the silly will sink, and be ruined. Srursxpovs Faarvps.—The exposition published im the Herald, yesterday morning, of the affairs of the Protection losurance Company, the State Bank ot Morris, N. J., and the Susquehanna County Bank, of Pennsylyania, has created a tremendous excitement in Wail street, and a great fluttering among the parties interested. We have been busily engaged in a further investigation of the swindling operations of this nest of speculators, and have in Our porsession the natnes of all concerned. As soon as we have probed the affair deep enough, we shall give the history of one of the moet stupendous frauds ever perpetrated in this, or any other com- ee, ee Too Late.—Col. Webb, in yesterday's Courter, mekes a deliberate move on the political chess- board, in favor of W. H. Seward forthe Presiden- ey. All very well; but he happens to be too late Downing and the “colored gemmen™ have or @laim wpon the little ex-Governor. Their ticket is: We Sewanp, (free white man) of New York, For Previdrnt Fasersrce Dover are, (free black man) of Ohio, For Viee Prevident.

The in- | Party Troubles—The Cabinet—The Whigs, and Gen, Taylor. Gen. Taylor, according to all appearances, 1s the only man who, im 1852, can enter into the presiden- tial contest with any prospect of success before the people. If the whig party and whig leaders are possessed of only a moderate share of common sense and common sagacity, they may yet re-orga- nize their scattered elements upon the basis of Gen. Taylor’s popularity, so as to secure the ascendancy at Washington for twenty yeara to come. If they will abandon their old broken-down politicians, and their old broken-down platform, and shape their measures and their movements a litle more upon the popular ideas of the day, and the inaugural address, they are safe enough. But all attempts at a restoration of an exploded system, tried and condemned over and over again, can only end in repeated defeats. On the other hand, the signs of the times Were never so auspicious for the complete success of a liberal, progressive, yet firm and independent policy. How stands the democratic party in the North? The Buflalo Convention has sown broadcast into its ranks the seeds of a settled disorganization. — From the late speech of John Van Buren, at Bos- ton, itappears that he sticks to the Buffalo platform as stoutlyasever. This looks bad for the Prinee— very bad—and just as bad tor the New York coali- tion. The two sections will, probably, for a long tume, be again divided; and if ever re-united at all, it must be when the question of slavery 1s disposed of, and parties are re-organized upon other ques- tions. Meantime, the free-soil rupture in New York denationalizes the party, and cuts off all prospect of their uniting with the South upon the same candidate for the presidency. In such a state of things, the course of the ad- ministration and the whig party is clearly defined. Itisa bold, manly, firm and progressive course. Mr. Webster, at the recent New Hampshire dinner, in Boston, in his splendid closing speech on that oecasion, gave a most graphic and convincing out- line of this policy, particularly with respect to our foreign relations. There 18 something of majesty and consistency about it, befitting the standing and destiny of this great nation, which are in striking contrast with the pitiful, trifling and fussy experi. ments of the cabinet. The speech of John Van Buren, made up of abolitionism, socialism, and all sorts of radicalisms, scarcely looks more trifling, fussy, or pitiful in the compari- son. A foreign policy, such as that indicated jn the epeech of Webster, is the true po- licy. But has Mr. Clayton dared to saya word in support ot Turkey? Not one word. He does not understand our postion. His policy of neutrality is half a century behind the age. His trumping up of an obsolete law, in the case of the war eteamer, is only m keepiag with the alien and sedition laws of the elder Adams, and the doctrines which broke down that administration will break down any other. They favor despotic usages, and are hostile to republican ideas. Yet such has been the foreign policy of Mr. Clayton. But if he has exhibited a ricketty feebleness and temporizing in our foreign affairs, degrading to the position of this country, the domestic policy of the cabinet has been equally mischievous, in the viola- tion of the pledges of Gen. Taylor. The proserip- tions and nepotism of the cabinet are even more notonous and disgraceful. Altogether, they have so crippled the whig party, that nothing but the popularity of Gen. Taylor can save them for the next four years. What is to be done? Let the whigs re-organize on the basis of Gen. Taylor’s popularity—on the inaugural address ; let the President pursue a con- servative course on the slavery question, doing everything required for a peaceful compromise, and putting in his veto, if necessary, upon the Wilmot proviso, and the success of the party is cer- tain fortwenty years to come. It will rally the Senate te his support in 1849and °80, and the moderate men of all parties in the North. It will make him the national candidate, and the whigs the national party. If the present cabinet do not understand these things, try another. There is plenty of the raw materials. In the present confusion of party machinery, the only chance for the whigs is to stick to Gen. Taylor. A Ricn Hanvest.—Darren of results as the late electron has been, our delighted contemporary of the Courier predicts that it “ will secure to the coun- try ell the rich harvest of trait which every advo. cate of whig principles hoped for at the close of the presidential contest of 748."

Beach have enlightened us witha discourse on charity. Charity 18 a very beautifal thing, and if our charitable finenciers would only practise a lit- tle of it towards the widows and orphans swindled out of their money by the Plainfield and Jacksou- ville Banke, they might preach to some purpose. and raecality, however, do not often travel together. “Charity begms at home,” and has never been to Plainfield. Antr-Stavery amona Tur Democnacy.—The Evening Post says that the recent election proves that the mass of the two factions of the democracy are now egreed in their opposition to the extension into New Mexico and California. John Van Ba- ren says ditto. This position backs up the old party, North and South.

Pear- son, from San Francisco, with intelligeuce from that port to the Ist of October—one month later than previous advices. The Oregon brought down from San Francisco three hnndred passengers and seven hundred thou- sand dollars in gold dust. The Hon. Thomas Butler King, who was re- ported dangerously ill at San Francisco at the pre- vious accounts, was slowly recovering, and would leave for the Atlantic in the steamer of the Ist inst.

Market Intelligence—Local News—Naval Mat- ters, Se. Fe. There is nothing particular to notice since my last. Flour has advanced to seven and a half dol- lars, and somewhat scarce, with small stock. The crops of wheat are all harvested, and the yield is far short of the average. Indian corn is rcarce, and at a figure a fraction above last quotations, and the stock on hand’ quite limited.

Orders were immediately given to the Captain of the port, to guard the ship, and not allow Colonel White togo on shore. The order was promptly executed, and a soldier placed on board for that purpose ; but deeming it advisable tosend some one on board who would dis- cover and detect all that was going on, the chief of police, in citizen’s dress, was sent on board, aad remained until the steamer left. During the day, a number of American mer- chants and others, natives of the island, visited Colonel White, and expressed their regret that he should be detained, and not permitted to go on shore; at the same time expressed the belief that the island would, sooner or later, belong to the people of the United States. The rest of the pas- sengers were permitted to go on shore, and go where they pleased. The greater part of the na- tive population of the island are in favor of be- coming annexed to the United States, but not through unfair means. She left New Orleans on the evening of the 31st, with every prospect of a rapid and prosperous run home, but owing to downright carelessness and gross stupidity on the part of the pilot, in attempt- ing to bring her to sea at low water, and in taking her out of the regular channel, she ran aground and remained sixteen hours. * A{ter many unsuccessful attempts, she was drawn off by the Persian and Hercules, two powerful steam tugs, and took her departure from the Belize Light, about 8 o’clock, on the evening of the Ist, and arrived at Havana early on the morn- ing of the 4th. The detention caused by getting aground has occasioned a delay of more than fifty hours in the time of her arrival at this port--longer than it would have been, had she proceeded direct to Havana, where she would have arrived in time to have left for home on Saturday, instead of Monday. She brought six bags of doubloons from New Orleans to Havana, and $100,000 specie on freight for this city. She brought 19 passengers from New Orleans to Havana, and 30 for New York. * She brings no later intelligence from Calrfornia— the Falcon, with the October matls from the Pacyfic, not having had sufficient time te arrive at Havana when the Ohao left. The mails will be taken to New Orleans and for- warded overland, by the regular mail route. The Ohio is advertised to sail again on the 13th, which will scarcely be time to discharge her cargo and be ready. Her second voyage, we are sorry to say, has not been quite so good as the first. ‘Lhere is one re- markable fact connected with her last voyage, that is in her uneven speed. Both on her out- ward and homeward passages, she made, attimes, most extraordinary speed. The run from Havana to the Belize Light was made in 47 hours, a dis- tance of 610 miles. She made a rapid run up the Miesiesippi to New Orleans. She ran from the bar to her wharf, foot of St. Mary’s street, Lafayette, in exactly nine hours, a distance of 115 miles, against a two knot current, equal to 14) miles an hour, slack water. Vessels are not permitted to pass Moro Castle after 6 P.M., or to leave before daylight in the morning—a regulation which subjects vessels to many inconveniences and unnecessary delay. ‘The quarantine restrictions at Iavana have been abolished upon all vessels coming from ports in the United States. The steamship Isabel, Capt. Rollins, arrived | at Havana on the 4th. | There is nothing of interest from Havana, or from the Island. The Spanish papers contain nothing worth trans- lating. ‘The papers publish the diplomatic correspoa- | dence between the United States and English go- vernments, in regard to the Nicaragua difficulty, but no opinion is expresged concerning it. The restrictions upon the press prohibit the ex- pression of opinion in regard to political matters, either foreign or domestic. ‘The weather was delightfully fine, but business of every description was dull, except theatricals and places of amusement. ‘The Opera company at the Tacon theatre is the | | finest ever in Havana. “Lucretia Borgia” was | performed last Sunday night to a brilliant assem- blege of more than four thousand persons. | one and Bossio are the prima donnas, and Salvi the principal fenore and basso | performers.

Havana rapidly filling up with Americans, | from all parts of the United States, to spend the winter, notwithstanding the impositions and petty annoyances practised to keep out foreigners. ‘The journals of Havana are zealously occu- pied in refuting the accusation made in Lon- don by the Standard newspaper, to the eflect that sugar of lead was employed in Cuba for the manufacture and purisecation of sugar. The | aspersion is eolemnly denied, and set down to the | score of ignorance and prejudice, as well as mer- cantile malice also, for the purpose of injuring the suger trede of Cuba. As an example of the facility with which prejudices are raised in the minds of | the masses on this subject, the Puro of the 2d of | November states, by way of illustration, that simi- | lor sinieter reports were lately spread abroad con- cerming a targe sugar refinery opened at Matanzas, | It appears that a Mr. Adams, from the United States, eetablished a large refinery at that place, | and soon after he had got his works in ope- ebleck to purify the syrupe. vas encountered in disproving those falsehoods, but after a time, end with great effort, it was sue- ceeded in romney. these felse impressions from the publie mind.

A letter from Buenos Ayres, published in the Co- mercio del Plata, of the 10th, says: that great naval preparations are being made at Buenos Ayres, and it 18 belteved the object aimed at 1s Brazil, against whom these armaments are supposed to be tended ; and with whom tts believed that war is inevi- table. Nothing fresh has occurred in respect to the pro- tracted question of the Rio de la Plata. The rela- tive position of Buenos Ayres and Montevideo remains as at last aceounts, and the now long- standing difficulties seem to be as far removed from prospect of settlement as ever they were. ‘The sume uncertainty and the same general dis- trust and want of confidence continued to prevail, both at Buenos Ayres and at Montevideo. The Comercio del Plata of the 13th of September, ives an account of the shipwreck and total loss of the Sardinian brig Rosa, from Patagonia. ‘The Brazilian corvette the Union, sailed prompt- y to render assistance, but in spite of every effort the vessel was a total loss before the Union could teach her. The Comercio of the 3d October states that the elections were going on in the Provinces tor Depu- tues to the General Assembly.

Colonel Hornos, of Entre- Rio, with a number of emigrants and others from Uruguay, had gone over to the Paraguayans, an joined their forces ; it 18 said the number ot mea Col. Hornos brought with him was 600. There is every reason to believe that Corrientes is about to rise against the tyranny of Kozas, and shake off his chains. If the information which has been re- ceived on this head is verified, the Paraguayan invasion will have led to the most importast re- sults, General Urquiza, netwithstanding threats and indications of moving, ‘ith his army, motionless and immovable. ipa -! The Montevideo papers contain little informa- tion. A letter from Buenos Ayres, published in the Commercio del Plata of the Uth of September, states that the invasion of the Paraguayans ia the great topic of discourse, the great order of the day, and that the rumors in Buenos Ayres relating to it are most contradictory and absurd. According to the writer, the Paraguayans have occupied th missions of Coments, all the territory of Aguapey, and Candelaria. They have fortified themselves in various points, and it will not be easy to dis- lodge them. Virasoro is the General opposed to them. No mentionas made of his operations, or position, or forces.

During the year 1848, State bonds, to the amount of $225,000, were issued, for the rellef of the Central Bank, and to the amount of $237,000 during the present year, forthe reme purpose, The bonded debt of the bank amounts to $417,000, which is drawing interest at weven percent. An ad valorem system of taxatiqn, instead of the spe- cific, is recommended for the adoption of the Legis. lature. The Western Atlantic Railroad will be completed very f00n. The receipts this year are 14 per cent over those of last year, and 47 per cent over thoce of 1847. ‘The profits of the penitentiary, for the fiscal year: amount to $21,353 59, The Governor suggests that the$mode of voting, throughout Georgia, should be changed from the bal- lot to vive voce. The slavery question occupies a considerable portion of the meseage. The Wimot prsviso, Northern fana- ticism, and the free-soil party, are freely denounced in it, Further aggression, the Governor says, ought not to be endured; and if it be attempted by the fede- ral government, it must be repelled by all the moral and physical power of the State ; all amicable means, however, being first exhausted. Governor Towns con- siders it’ his duty to vesting him with the power to conv of the people of the State, to take into o \deration measures for their safety and preservation, in the event of the passage of the Wilmot proviso, or any kindred meayure.
