It will be found in another column of to-day’s peper, and although it conveys no news of revolutica or of any other political excitement in the old-world, it will nevertheless create a stir and a commotion—a cotton commotion—that will extend from one extremity of the United States to the other. By this arnval we learn that our great Southern steple--cotton—has advanced an eighth of a penay sterlieg per pound in the Laverpool market, which is equivalent to a quarter of a cent of our currency. Thie is another most unportant fact to the interests of the United States, especially to those of the South, and will tend to excite the spirit of specula- tion on’ this vide of the water, which has been under way for some time past. This makes the aggregate advance, since the beginning of the movemient, reach to three cents per pound, which is equal to 38 percent on the value of cotton, and amounts, on the whole crop of the United States, to the sum of therty mulions of dollars. Add ts aggregate advance of the cotton crop to the yield of gold calculated in California, which is made to be equal te forty millions, including also the gene- ral advancing movements in other great staples, and the aggregate increase in the commerctal values of the products of the United States for 1849-60, will nearly amount to the enormons sum of one hundred millions of dollars. Men will get crazy with speculation and money-making in 1 as they did with rows dnd revolutions in 1848. The quiet of the French republic, and the general peace in Europe, will only add to the intensity of this movement. There is no political intelligence of any interest, so far aw we have heard. Nothing further has come to hand concerning the Turkish question, which is probably settled, as we have already stated. Kossuth has published a terrible letter against Georgey. We may accordingly conclude that néthing important occurred within the week previous to the sailing of the steamship. There is one interesting fact, however, which. is worth re- ferring to, and that is, that the price of consols has reached as high a point as ninet y-three—much high- er than they have been at, fora long time past. ‘This is asure indication that there is no danger apprehended of the general peace—the calm of dea- potism—which now prevails throughout Eurepe, being disturbed. We shall reserve further comments uatil the re- ceipt of the mails, which will probably arrive in this city vo-merrow morning. The moneyed and the monarchical powers have united perfectly, and all further revolution is put down for the present. France alone remains as the seed of the future— and France seems to get along smoothly. Make woy—revolution is postponed. Tuk Breca Corresronpgnck—CongRressionaL InvESTIGATION ON THE CanineT.—Great interest being mamteeted for the publication of the addi- tional Brega correspondence, we beg leave to states that we have postponed the matter ull after ihe meeting of Congress, next week. At first, our puryose was to test the accuracy of that correspon- dence, by bringing an action at law against the Republic at Washington, and the Courter and En- quirer of this city. We have, however, on due consideration, changed eur, taetica, and intend to bring the matter before the House of Representa- tives, in the shape ofa memorial, asking for a committee of investigation, before whom we shall very member of the cabinet, Brega himself, all others connected with this business, so as to ict them face to face, and test the truth ef the e matter. We shail place in the hands of this committee, when appointed by the Speaker, the whole correspondence, as we originally received it, verbatim «t literatim, written by Brega, die closing the policy of the administration, and espe- cially tiet part of itin whieh the cabinet made the attegopt to tamper with the newspaper press, in a very sil-y end ridiculousway.

Those two institutions, by their failuré, have created a great deal of misery in the commu- nity 1n this region, as well as in some of the west- ern and southwestern States, especially among the poor and working classes. ‘Keep the pot boil- ing,” as one of these financiers says in his letter to his confederates—‘ there is foul play some- where.” Oh! oh! Jt will be gratifying to our citizens to be in- formed that Lambert Norton, the President par excellence of the exploded State Bank at Morris, the cashier of that institution, and several of the directors into the bargain, have been indicted for their participation in that arrant swindle, with the certainty staring them in the face, that if all the parties are arrested and convicted, their splendid financial abilities wall be lost to the United States and to the world at large, for a few years at least. Norton, it seems, has been indicted for perjury, in swearing, in accordance with the requirements of the laws of the State of New Jersey, that the whole actual cash caprtal of the famous State Bank at Mornis had been paid ia, whereas, according to the evidence placed before the grand jury, no- thing of the kind had been done. This is an example of the manner in which such frandu- lent institutions are set afloat, and commence ther predatory and swindling operations on the unfortunate ‘public. It is to be hoped that the other parties connected with that in- stitution, and who likewie have been indicted by the grand jury ef Morris county, will be arrested and caged, to answer for the injury and frauds which they have perpetrated on the public, in depriving the working classes of their haré- eared money in exchange for their worthless bills. «Keep the pot boiling,” —* there is foul play some, where.” The criminal laws of New Jersey are more strictly execuied than those of the State of New York, for all kinds of iniquity, as has been proved very recently : and the promptness and impartiality with which they are adimimistered, might, with credit and profit, be adopted on this side of the Hudson river. 1t was only the otherday that some rioters, belonging to this city, created a disturb- ance im Jersey; and, although the jury brought in a verdict of simple assault and battery, the con- victed were promptly sentenced by the judge to eighteen months confinement and hard labor in the State prison, at Trenton. In this State the prison. ers would have been let off with some thirty days’ a few dollars. So it was iu acriminal trial a few days ago in Hoboken. A man indicted for marder, and convicted of that crime in the second degree, was prompily sent to the State prison for twenty years—to be at hard labor ell the time. In this State, atthe most, he would have been sentenced for only four or five years; end the chances would be equal, that, by some hocus-pocus arrangement, he would get clear altogether, even if he had been convicted of murder in the first degree. But they have a dif- ferent way of administering criminal justice in the State of New Jersey, and the consequence is, that when a man is about to commit a crime there, he knows toa letter the penalty which he will incur. “ Keep the pot boiling,”"—“ there is foul play some- where.” ° ‘The slowness and uncertainty of criminal pro- ceedings in the State of New York are on every tongue, and are frequently commented upon by the press. Within a day or two, one of our cotempo- raries—who exhibited their rare financial skill in getting up the Plainfield swindle, in the same State cheating the community out of a large sum of money, by palming off their worthless trash on them, in the shape of bank notes—deprecated the slowness and uncertainty of criminal justice in this State. They would have had no such complaiats to make, if they had taken, a year or two ago,a trip across the river to New Jersey, and experi- enced the workings of criminal law there. We are certain they would be perfectly convinced, that al- though their complaints as regards New York miy be well founded, they have no bearing at all in that State. “Keep the pot boiling,”—* there is foul pley somewhere.” We hope the Legislature at Trenton will show as much promptness in disposing of the railroad monopoly, next winter, as the judges and cour and grand juries evince in administering criminal justice. We shall see. “ Keep the pot boiling,”"— ** there is foul play somewhere.” Great Cereeration.—We give in our columns to-day, an account of the inauguration of President Charles King, which took place Inst night in Co- lumbia College.

Our correspondence from Sisal, which we annex, will be found very interesting :— Sisax., November 1, 1849.

The aspeet of affairs in this region are gloomy enough. The Peninsula of Yucatan, viewed politically, commereially, or as regards her strife with the Indians of the interior, is truly deplorable. She has not the first dollar in her treasury, and no apparent means of raising any funds. Her few troops are uaked, and neary in o state of stervation—they being actually obliged to focd on jackasses, dogs andeats, and « wiley foe a:sailing them daily.
