la Barca, the Spanish minister at Washington, can- not but believe in his heart that it would be the part ot wisdom in the Spanish ministry in Madrid to take such a course; but he wants the moral cour- age to state it to them. It therefore devolves upon us, in a very peaceable way, to explain this condi- tion of things to the Spanish ministry, each one of whom, we believe, Is a reader of the New York Herald. We do now, therefore, say to them, that it some peaceable termination of this question be not soon arrived at, 1t will be solved by force, and that without any serious difficulty; for it is a “fixed fact” that Spamsh government over Cuba must cease, sooner or later. Indeed, at the preseat time, the only obstacle in the way of annexing Cuba to the United States, is the delay necessarily involved in the question of incorporating Canada. Neither Canada nor Cuba can come into this Uaion separately. Our domestic party hostilities are of such a character, that the one will assist the other project—that the exclusion of Canada will exclude Cuba, and vice versa; but manifest destiny points to the incorporation of both, That the annexation of Cuba, gooner or later, must take place, cannot be denied. Indeed, we have every reason to believe, that the scheme which was recently suppressed by the proclama- | tion of General Taylor, 1s by no means abandoned. There are hundreds and thousands and tens of thousands of brave, adventurous, and energetic spirits in the United States, who would jump over counters and stone walls, at the chance of being transported to Cuba, and after arriving there, would fight out the revolution on their owa hook, trust- ing to the generosity of the emancipated Cubans for payment after the work was completed. We believe that the leaders of the expedition do not abandon the scheme which was recently started and put down, and we have every reason to credit ‘The steamships Crescent City and Ohio will leave | tne statement, that independent military compa- ‘thls port, at three o’eloek, this afternoon, withthe mails | nies are forming in many of our large cities, and passengers for California, and in the numerous towas throughout the country, We shall publish an edition of the MWeekly Herald, at | for the purpose of practisingvand exercising, as the tom o'clock, this morning, to go in these steamers. other independent companies are in the practice of I will contain the latest intelligence from all parts of | doing, so as to prepare for the advent of the d ays when they may be called upon to join an expedi- the world, to the hour of publieation, ineluding loeal | sign having the same object in view as that which news, the marriages and deaths in all parts of theeoun- | has so recently been suppressed.

MAILS FOR THE PACIFIC, early day, the Cuban patriots, in a practical way, in effecting their independence of Spain. Under the present obsolete neutrality laws, expe- ditions to the island of Cuba, composed of such materials, may, by the strong arm of power, and an extreme interpetration of old enactments, be put down and scattered; but there is a determina- tion among all our progressive people, North and South, to favor the independence of Cuba, and to unite ina memorial to the next Congress, for the purpose of repealing thoze neutrality laws, as being part and parcel of the eld alien and sedition system of the last century, which aided and assisted the monarchical opinions and ideas of that age. Every American citizen has a right—which he cannot be deprived of—to leave the country when he chooses; and under no authority can the government de~ mand of him his object in going to Cuba, or any other country he may determine to visit. Why, then, should the government have the tyrannical and monarchical privilege to demand of a company of individuals what they dare not do of a single in. dividual? A great movement will be made, in the next Congress, to repeal those neutrality laws ; and when they are repealed, we shall see a movement in New York, New Orleans, and elsewhere, having for its object to aid and assist the patriots of Cuba. However much people may be adverse to the agitation of such a question, for tear it might com promise our peaceful relations with Spain, the spirit of the age is progressive in this land, and we cannot stay it ifwe would. The tyranny of the Spanish government in Cuba is accumulating; the vic of | policy of the Spanish government at home is pre- MS occurrence, | posterous; and unless the ministers of Queen Isabella, at an early day, take the matter into seri- ous consideration, and determine upon offering that island for sale to the United States, they may The intelligence which we have been receiving from the island of Cuba for some time past, is very interesting as news to the general reader, and very important in its bearings on the political con- dition of that island, and its future fate and pros- pects, to the politician and to all who have watched its past history. It will be recollected, that a few weeks ago the people of Matanzas, in retura for some hospitalities which were extended to them by an American ship ef war, were desirous of giving the officers of that vessel a complimentary ball on shore. As soon as their intention became known to the Captain General, that functionary prohibited the ball, on the ground that it was unnecessary, because the | American officers could be invited to the féte which was soon to take place in honor of the Queen of Spain, on the anniversary of her birth- day. The Cubans, as was natural, felt aggrieved atthe prohibition, and determined not to attend the birthday féte. To the extreme mortification of | the Commandant, the banquet was a perfect blank ; | and to avenge the insult which the Commandant imagined was thus offered to the royal authority, some young men, who exerted themselves to prevent a general attendance, were seized, imprisoned in Moro castle, and afterwards shipped to Spain, to ! avewer for their conduct. This silly but signifi- ant movement created a great sensation through- | outthe island, and formed the principal top discussion for some time after among all classes of the population. Another movement, of a similar character, re- eently took place on the same island. On the arrival of the steamship Ohio at Havana, | en her last trip, information was conveyed to the | hands by another process, without a single six- Commandant that Col.

The extraordinary impulse given to commercial steam navigation 1s of even greater importance to the advancement of our prosperity, the diffusion of republican principles, and the gene- ral benefit of mankind. It is hastening the time when the great object of Columbus—a western route from Europe to the vast commerce of Asia— will be realized. ‘That magnificent conception, for all practical purposes, has lain dormant since the discovery of our continent. But at length the day is at hand when the trade of Asia, which has changed its route to market with the fate of em- pires, from the time of Abraham, will be firmly and permanently established from Canton to the Paci- fic coast, and across our continent and the Atlan- tie, to Europe. The annexation of Texas, the Mexican war, the treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo, the acquisition of California, the gold discovery, the crusades to the mines, and the impulse given to steam navigation, are the chain of causes which will have produced this great achievement. The position of Calfornia and her splendid har- bor of San Francisco, will secure to her, ultimate- ly, on the completion of the great central railroad, the profits of the depot of the trade of Asia and the islands of the East. In the interval, the Isthmus routes of Panama, Nicaragua, and Tehuantepec, will command the transit of this prodigious com- merce. But the road cannot be completed under ten or fifteen years. The gold washings, in a year or two, must be exhausted, and the process of mining will be too expensive for the mass of ad- venturers. What, then, are the prospects of Calt- fornia, with the Pacifie commerce diverted to the Isthmus routes, and her gold washings exhausted? The floating mass of her population will be dis- persed, the fleets of ships in her harbor will disap- pear, speculation will work outa destructive ex- plosion, and the dream of her prosperity will vanish like a fog. Notatall. The gold washings may be drained of the dust—the speculators may be ruined—the mass of the diggers may disperse—but the steady prosperity of the new State cannot be arrested. ‘There 1s a large slice of fine agricultural territory on the Upper Sacramento, and a swarth of forty or filty miles along the west flank of the Sierra Ne- vada, for five hundred miles, with a productive soil, good water, elegant timber, and, a fine healthy climate, which will be located and settled by a permanent population. On the eastern flank of the Sierra Nevada, within the Great Basin, there is another slip of territory, with lakes and mivers, timber, and a fine soil, which will be settled, and must also contribute to the advantage of its only outlet at San Francisco. But in the event of the failure of the gold washings, the territory of Ore- gon, with its immense agricultural capacities, and its timber, surpassing in size and excellence all the forests of the world, will be rapidly populated, and its supples of lumber, provisions, and coal, will still increase the steady prosperity of the trade and growth of California. With the completion of | the central railroad, crossing the Great Basin by | the Mormon settlement and the future salt works of the Great Salt Lake, and terminating at the Bay of San Francisco, the State of California and her seaport will become second in commercial impor- tance only to the State and port of New York. Already the emigration from China to San Fran- cisco, and the receipts of tea, in that direction, from the port of Canton, are significant of what is to fol- low when the routes across the Isthmus and great railway shall be finished, with lines of steamers | direct to Canton and other Asiatic ports. A feature in the recent news from California, of the highest importance, is the position whieh the Convention has assumed on the slavery question. | It solves the perplexity of the Wilmot proviso with respect to California. Certain extreme politicians of the South will doubtless attempt ; to make it a question of difficulty, on the | plea that a large portion of the new State lies south | of the compromise line of 36 30, and should conse- | quently be conceded to the institutions of the | South. But though there may be a protracted and | exciting discussion upon the subject, we apprehend no real difficulty to the admission of California, on | account of her constitution, which is of a genu- | ine republican form, according to the terms of the federal compact. Besides, the people of California have acted precisely according to the doctrine of Gen. Cavs, which is generally acceptable to the | South ; that is, that it is competent for the people of a territory, in forming a State constitution, to de- | cide upon the question ot slavery for themselves We would advise all the genuine friends of the South, anxious to allay this abolition excitement | by all reasonable compromises, to suffer the ques- tion of slavery in the Great Basia and in California to be settled by the people thereof. They are intel- ligent Americans, and entirely competent for all the duties of self government. | The case is different in New Mexico. The mass of the people there are of the lowest castes of the mixed Mexican varieties. They know nothing of our institutions and ourlanguage. They nonst first be trained, under the care of Congress, or of Texas, to our laws, customs, and language, before they can be competent to assume the sovereignty of a State. Let the South, then, direct all its energies to the support of the claim ot Texas to the territory ot New Mexico, which, according to the terms of aane xation, is a good and valid claun—the claim of | a contrect—equally as good, at all events, as the | original claim of Massachusetts to the territory of | Maine, which, for many years, was held good and | valid. New Mexico is to be the field for the final | struggle on the proviso. Let the South prepare for | it. Their best ground of defence is the claim of | Texas. Upon that they may secure at least a compromise. On the other hand, all opposition to the admicsion of Califormia, according to the wishes of her intelligent population, can only weaken the South, and strengthen the designs of the aboli- tiontete. We apprehend, therefore, no rea! difficulty to the admission of California. And though the wild and inordinate speculations which have sprung ap on the basis of the gold dust, may end in a terrible exposvon, prudent men will avoid the bait, and the steady prosperity of the new State will not be stopped. Individaals may fail, but such a community, in such a country, must always go ahead. The sensation of the gold discovery has | been felt all over Earope, and has created a epirit | of emigration even in China. Its effects are among the most astounding developemeats of the age. We need have no fears for the future, for the wni- | versal and enterprising Yankee is capable of any- | thing and everything which he andertaks to do. ‘The State of California, which has sprung up, as it were, ina night, like the enchanted castle of Ale has a brilliant destiny to wecomplish. As gold dust gradually diminishes, her people will be gradually diverted to more steady pursuits. Her mines of quicksilver, coal and copper, aswell as of cilver end gold, will be browgint into requi- tains of oaks and pines will find sition her me a market, and the agricultural resources of her rich valleys will be developed has the po- | eition, the elements, and all the lities for a She has already reversed the und with the full Jumboe, of a western ronte s prosperous career. rents of comme the grend idea of C from Europe to Asia, (ineluding the great eeotral ilrond,) Sen Franeieco becomes the metropolis of the Pacific, and New York the capital and com nent of Asormer Frare-ve wire France.—There is eomething in the wind with the French govern- ment again.

Arr, steamships Isabel, Havana; Kepublic, Balumore; Co- lumbus, Philad ce Who Rusn for California, There is a great excitement about California. Mer- ebants, lawyers, and mechgnics, in hundreds, will leave this city, today, im the Ohio and Crescent City, All sorts of merchandise, watches, boots, clothing, news- papers, booke, mechanics’ tools, trinkets, &c., &c., are going off at a rapid rate, There two steamers will be filled to their utmost capacity. Adams & Co, the enterprising express house, in Wall street, send out, in charge of a spe- cial messenger, who leaves their office at ten minutes before three o'clock, this afterueon, over twenty tons in small parcels; and each emigrant carries all that the regulations of the steamers will per- mit. About two hundred and seventy-five passen- gers go in the Crescent City; and five hundred, mostly for the Geld Region, go in the Ohio, New Orleans, Total.. i Among those in the 0. are the following :— Mies Campbell, daughter of the American Consul at Havana; Sr. Don Espinora and family; Major Sear e, U. 8, Army; Mr. J. J. Day and fatally. North Carolina; Mr. Montant, Mr. MeLean, Captain W. T. Thompson, James Cunningham, Charles Bae. and Thos. Plaside. These few are not for California, but having their names, we givethem; they help to make up the crowd going with the Californians, The arrival of one or two hundred in the Em- pire City bas given @ tremendous impulse to those bound out. They can ecarcely wait for the steam- ers to start. They are like the chap who, with a friend, several years ago, went into Boston, from a neighboring town, to witness the reception of General Jackson, On reaching Malden bridge, three or four miles from the city, and hearing the distant booming of the cannon, notwithstanding the speed of his horse, he jumped out of the wagon and started om a run for Bosten, exclaiming,“ Hark! There goes the cannon ; we tball be too late!” So it is with the gold hunters. There is not # steamer afloat fast enough for them, Interesting From Brazi.—We find no addi- tional political news in the Jornal do Comercio, of Rio de Janeiro, received on Saturday. There are several items of interest in relation to commerce. On the 29th September, were launched, in pre- sence of the Emperor, three new steamers, two (one ©! iron) for private persons, and one of 160 horse power tor the government. Another for the government, of 220 horse power, is mm progress of construction. These steatners and their machine- ry, were constructed in a large ship yard and foundry belonging to a_ Brazilian gentleinen, who employs about six hundred personas. he Secretary of the Treasury has sent cireu- lars to diflerent merchants and others, requesting their views in writing, and afterwards ata meet- ing, im regard to the best means to establish on a better footing the circulating medium. Congress is to open its session on the Ist Janu- ary next, and in all the provinces the elections for members of Congress have gone in favor of the government. | ae A line of eight sailing vessels, of 600 tons each, has been established between Kio and Havre, to sail on the 25th of each month The following is the last money market report : Exchange on London. .6 35 mabloons. 319000; Paris, Mars, 1800; government stock, 88,89; prowin- Powic Comranres, Pe Sold for.

Wolfe, which left this port on the 13th, arrived at Bermu- the 16th ult., and sailed for St. Thomas oa the 2let. We find nothing farther of interest, except ma- rine yntelligence, which will be found ia another column. Very Late rrom Caxraacnna —By the arrival of the bark Bogeta, from Carthagena, 12th ult., we are under obligations to Capt. Thomas, for the fol- lowing extract of a letter, dated Cawrnacena, Oct. 12, 1849.

Mondsy, Sovember 12—6 P, Me The stock market was quite active to-day, The gales: of Government and State recurities were unusuallylarge at a slight advance in prices It is the impression in Wall street, that most of these stocks are too high— that, at present prices, they pay a small rate of inte. rest—and there is a growing disposition among holders to realize. The fancies, generaily, are not in such active demand, the operations having been confined to Har- lem, Reading. and Farmers’ Loan. ‘The bullsare make ing desperate efforts to get up Harlem ; and we woulé advise outeiders to watch the market closely and’reale ize upon the least improvement in prices, They will be able, some little tinse heres. if they wish to replace the stock, to do so, at much lower rates.

Recent advices from Paris and from Washington, have convinced us that the diplomacy of all the parties engaged has been of the most bungling character; and when the corres- pondence which has passed between the Secretary of State and the French Minister is made public, it wiit be seen that they have acted like two big, blundering boys, Mr, Rives had not, at the latest date, been re- ceived by the French government as the American minister, and an interview had taken place between him and M. de Tocquevilie, during which some very strong language was used by both parties, and the re- sult was by no means favorable, This looks as though there might be another war panic before the lapse of many day: ‘The character of the insurance companies, in all parts of the country. has for « tong time been steadily depreciat Thero are io Wall street fifteen or twenty companies, aud 00 onv knows whether any one of the whole batch is solvent or not. Wedo know that it is exevedingly difficult to get anything out ef them: except at the tail end of # tedious law suit, Statementa are published, from tinw to tiwe, by the different eom- panies doing businers upcu the mutual system, accord. ing to which everything »ppears bright and prosperous; but our experience in these things leads usto doubt the 8 of about nine-tenths of these reports, We have known banks to declare a dividend one day, and sus- pend the next, without the first red cent of assets; and we bave every rearon to believe that many of our insu.

If a direetorin any of concerns, or any rich mew, experiences & loss, and, policy of insurance issued by any of these com- panies, the amount is promptly paid; but if @ poor wan loses all he basin the world, the company finds out he is not able to carry on a lawsuit, the chances are that he will never yet the first fraction of his claim, The rascality and iniquity practised by the r incorporated companies, would vend them all to the State Prison, if committed upon their individual respons bilily instead of their eorpo- rated capacity, So grea is the difference betweem public and private acts. in (he new code of morals, M Railroad Company, will be heid to-morrow at 11 o'clock, at the office of the company, in Canal street, where the report of the Committee of Investigation will be presented.
