Whe Trouble in Congress—Four Parties In the Field—The Administration Aground, ‘There eppear to be four parties in the House og Repreeentatives, on the vital question of slavery, and each entertaining diflerent views upon the organization of the body—the regular whigs, who vote tor Mr. Winthrop; the regular democrats, who vote for Mr. Cobb; the whig recusants of the South, whe vote for Mr. Gentry and the free soilers, ‘The seattering votes may be divided among them all. These divisions and disaflections appear to be very cordial, and between the six Southern whig decerters and the Winthrop caucus the splitis mos, distressing. The free soilera stand upon their ground, regarding with malicious.delight the abor- tive efforts of the caucus parties to elect either of their men. The scattering voters are dodging about to try the soundings. The House has gone far enough to prove that nei- ther Mr. Winthrop nor Mr. Cobb will answer the purpose; and itis likely if their friends persist in the eleetion of either one or the other, there will be no organization at all; Congress will then be broken up, like a shelf tull of crockery, and the administration will cave in with the general crash. The division among the whigs of the House proves conclusively the utter impotency of the cabmet. It has no prin- ciples of adhesiveness ; no measures to command Tespect; no ability; noplan; no system; no union in itself/—and is, therefore, regarded as nothing at all The Georgia whigs have administered an ugly re- buke to Mr. Crawiord, of their State, the Secre- tary of War, against his affiliations with Seward, Ewing, Clayton, Meredith, and Collamer; a re- buke which cannot be disguised ; and this may be regarded as the entering wedge which isto split the cabinet jato its original fragments, and lay it out among the old lumber affected with the dry rot. If the eonsequences of this slavery agitation were to stop here, it would be a matter of public con- gratulaiion. But this is only the beginning of the end. The Union ef the States is in jeopardy, everything is adrift, and who are we to thank as | the originators of this deplorable confusion? It may be traced to Thurlow Weed and Governor Seward, and their anti-masonic and anti-slavery Tus New Terxiroriss.—There will be a strong opposition in Congress to the admission of Cali- fornia and Deseret as sovereign States of the Union, and an efiort made to organize territorial governments for all the new territories, ineluding, probably, Nebraska, asa place of refuge for the Fourientes. The government may think it the best policy to remove them to the buffalo country, asthe Seminoles and Cherokees have been re- moved, to set up for themselves to learn the arts of civilized society. The Mormons having a system of society of their own, want, also, a government of their own; and therefore ask te be admitted as a State. Doubtless the people of California would also prefer to govern themselves. It isa desirable thing, but Congress may think differently. The extreme party of the North would not object to a territorial system, if ‘they. can, in every case, cap the climax with the proviso. The Southern members will insist upon aterritorial system and a compromise, or a split in the family. They will oppose the admission of California, on the ground that the people organ- izing the State are not qualified, not localized, but mere adventurers, here to-day and gone to-mor- row, and that the territory must have the re- quisite |,fixed population and the local elements of a State, before it can be admitted as such- They will oppose it on the more important principle that half this new State, from which slavery is excluded, hes south of the Missou- ri Compromise line. And they will oppose both the admission of California and Deseret, on the most important ground of ail—that it will destroy the balance of power in the Senate, and place the South at the mercy of the abolitionists. Deseret will hardly be admitted as a State, for want of population. California cannot very safely be refused, though her boundaries may be reduced, Congress having exer- cised this power in every case. ‘The difficulty of re- ducing them lies in the fact that they are the natural boundanes of a great valley, and cannot be altered; and yet, an attempt will be made to run the com- promise through the middle. Upon this experi- ment, if we are to credit our reports from Wash- ington, ‘hang all the law and the prophets,” and the Union besides. The boundary of New Mex- ico and Texes is equally perplexing. What is to be done? We have got the land, how 1s it to be divided 2? Let us wait patiently for a Speaker and the President’s message. Old Zack may hit upon something that will do. En1GRAavion—INCREASE IN 1849 oven 1848,—We have compiled, from official sources, the number of emigrants from foreign countries, who have ar- rived in the city of New York during the past year, and find that it exceeds, even up to this time, by a great deal, the whole number whuch arrived in the year 1848. ‘The following shows the emigration in both years :— TO ee Ue io Beat ack Excess of 1549 over 1848, to Doc. 6th. . se se eee Ertimated arrivals for the remaining’ part of December Total excess of 1849 over 1848. .....44e044 40,257 ‘Thus it will be seen that at the end of the year 1849, the emigration from Europe into this port alone, will be greater, by nearly fifty thousand, than that of last year; and, if we include other ports on the Atlantic ag well as the newly acquired territory of California, to which there has been a considerable emigration from Europe and China, and from the different States of South America, during the present year, we are safe in estima- ting that the population of the United States will, at the end of the present year, have an increase from foreign sources, of at least four hundred thousend souls. Narrow minded people will be apt to declaim egainst this vast influx of foreigners into our country, but men of comprehensive ideas will rejoice at it, for they see that every addition which is made to our population in this way, isa proportionate addition to the real wealth, strengus and industry of the United States. Admutting that foreigners, general rule, are utterly igaorant of our institutions and government, on their first arrival among us, we venture to say that there are but very few of them who do not know how to exercise the elective franchise judiciously by the 41,257 ized; and, as a general thing, we will say that when they do become naturalized, they are as ar- agitations of twenty-five years ago, and to Greeley and others of the latter-day saints of | "he whig church. These selfish agitators, with their anti-slavery doctrines of disunion; their enti-rentism, which would live at other peo. ple’s expense; their anti-hanging, which would turn the murderer into comfortable quarters, to be fed from the public treasury; and their Fourierism, | with its disorgenizing aad anti-christian absurdi- tier, have hurried up this state of things. The | abolitionists were a party to themselves; but the Seward politicians of New York have succeeded | in mixing them and their principles into both par- | ties in the North; so that Seward at this day is entering the lists for the I’residency upon his abo- lution capital exclusively. The locofoco free seilera | were mere interlopers, stealing another man’s thunder, and speculating upon his stock in trade. The Seward clique are the real disorganizers in the Nerth. No slavery—no r —no taxes—free soil, free farms, free property, and every thing for everybody, are principles which are hard to beat. They are the very essence of red republicanism; end the position of W. H. Seward in the Senate, weomewhat analogous to that of Ledra Rollin in the French Assembly, as far as it goes. He lacks the boldness and dashing frankness of the French- | man; but he is cunning, and has managed his cords with singular success in the game. He hee witerly rowed Mr. Fillmore and his party im the State—he has his ogents in the cabinet, bis organs among the newspapers, his clique in Congress, and, in every prectical point of view, he is the head and front of the free soil party. He is everything to all men, except the slave-holders. But for bis consistency on this point, he wold be neither fish, flesh, nor good red herring. Here lies the sceret of his influence and his success, and the eonsequences to the whig party. it is not, then, upon Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, and bis associates, that the whigs of the House are to lay the responsi of the rapture in the caucus. It was but the effect of the distrust which the Seward clique, and its influence over the cabi- net, have excited in ‘outh. The cabinet has done nothing to disad e South of these suspi- ions. The administration is suspected; Me. Win- throp, a8 its candidate for Speaker, is suspected and the extreme ta men cannot play into the hands of Gov. Seward. How the Louse is to get ovt of the scrape, remains to be seen. With four parties in the ring, and each determined not to bur peg, there ia no counting upon the re- sult he adimmistration is agrouhd, aad im dan- ger of a total wreck Miss Brewer axv tax Sociatists.—Miss Frede- fica Bremer, who has come over to see and enjoy the pleasures of American society, seems to have taken @ particular fancy for the Fourierites and other ultra people, whom Chinese would classify among the * outside ” Ata the barbarians, Fourierite phalanx, somewhere along the sea shore in New Jersey, she aseisted them in making | @ batch of bread, and in boiling a big pot of potatoes. She has since gone Down-East, and | spends a large portion of her time among the model establishments of the socialists. if Mies Bremer confines her intercourse to this class of people, she will get but a eor- | try and distorted view ef American society | from her travels. These ultras, political and so- | eial, are not strietly Ameriean. They are but the | niekety imitations of the fine-spun rormances of the French and German schools of philosophy; and are about as near to practical society as moomshine to broed daylight. As a matier of taste, we trust thet Miss Bremer will cut these people, and say nothing about them whea she returns to Sweden. | aware, those worthies hi | tion of th Council, according to ancient custom, have gone | | tion et gaping old rascals about town dent supporters of our American institutions as the native born are. The reason of this is obvious. ‘They have suflered under the despotism ot the na. tions of Europe, and have felt the iron heel of op- pression to such an extent, that to be relieved from it, they forrake home, with all its endearing ties and associations, for a foreign land. The con- trast which they witness on their arrival is so | great, and the blessings of liberty are so numer- ous and so wide-spread, that they would fight to the Jast for their preservation. But, apart from thy emigration adds to the wealth of the country, a3 any one caneee by looking into the matter. Movemmunts anono tug Crry Faturns—Teret- vie Temrest in Tue Tea Room.—We understand that the two boards of the city fathers are ina state of awful commotion and excitement, in con- sequence of their being tripped by the Mayor, under asection of the new charter, which went into operation a few months since. As our readers are e for many years past been in the habit of feasting on the fat of the land, drinking the best wines, and smoking the choicest segars, to repletion, in the City Hall, every evening on which they met. eaten, the wines and brandies were purchased aad drank, the segars were smoked and carried away by the hatful, and when the bill was presented it was punctually paid on the authentication of the proper committee. Under the new charter, however, all exeutive authority is tuken out of the hands of the Common Council, and their power as executive officers ceased. In bligeful ignorance of the sec new charter referred to, the Common on and feasted a8 usual, and when a bill was,a few days since, presented, to the amount of some mine | | hundred dollars, for refreshments, it was authenti- cated as formerly. But the Mayor's signature and authentication was likewise necessary, and that officer refused to attach his sign manual. Without itthe bill can’t be paid, and the consequence is hat the city fathers are in a state of great tri tien. To use a vulgar, but very expressive saying, they have been “brought up all standing,” and the probability 1s they will have to foot the bill them | selves, and for the future go without the luxuries of the tea room. The Mayor has done perfectly mght in vetoing this measure, and we hope he will persist in the course which he has adopted. This is the first benefit that we have received under the new charter, and it augurs well for that instrument. We my yet hope for some reforms in the manage- ment of our municipal affaire, and if the Mayor had shown as much sense and firmness at the time of (he Astor Place riots, the lows of life which fol- lowed might not have taken place. Monet Art anp Antists.—We perceive that the exhibition of women and men in almost a nude state, or at all events with an extremely small quantity of drapery, is still practised to a consider- able extent in this city.

At the second board, Reading Ruil- road advanced 3; per cent; Farmers Loan, }¢ ; Long Island, 34 ; Harlem, }¢ ; Canton Company, \ ; Morris Canal, 34. ‘The receipts at the ¢flice of the Arsistant Treasurer of this port, to-day, amounted to $44,061 45; payments, $59,087 48; balance, $3,860,624 43. "The gross earnings of the Erie Railroad Company for the month of Nevember, according to the report of the mansgement, amounted to $88,052 24, against $29,019 79. In November, 1548, there were 74 miles of road in operation, and in November, 1849, 260 miles. The offl- cial reports of the earnings of our railroad companies are considered, by the public, correct; but we have no confidence in them, and we are prepared to prove that the actual, bona fide earnings of the Erie road, for No- vember, do not net the company the eum of $75,000. To give the amount reported, the average earnings per day, for working days, must have been about $3,400. Now, we know that, up to the middle of November, the receipts had only reached $2,500 for two days—the range generally baying been from $2,100 to $2,500 per day, er about $1,500 per day less than for the corre. sponding days in October. ‘The last half of the month was better than the fret, but the average does not amount to more than $2,800 per day; and all the receipts over the aggregate formed by daily earnings of that sum, have been derived from freight on the company’s iron fer the extension to Corning, and on iron for the Che- mung road. It would be a much more straight forward way of making returns of earnings, if the management would make an exhibit of the business proper of the road. In the event of the receipts of December being much less than anticipated, the company will probably account for it by giving the whole truth relative to the earvings for October and November. It has already been admitted that more than $10,000 of the gross in- come fer October, was from freight on iron transported on account of the company; and we live in hope that the truth will soon come out in regard to the receipts for November. All we waut is correct reports, and those we are determined to have in some way. There bas been and still is so much mystery, so much conceal- ment about the financial afairs of this company, so much miscalculation—to say the least—relative to the cost, current income and expenditures, that it is time the present system of management, or rather misma~ agement. was exported. ‘The NewLondon and Willimantic and the Hartford aud Willimantic railroads are now in operation, making a continuous line of railroads from New York to Norwich and New London, via New Haven and Hartford. The distance to Norwich from this city by this route is about 156 miles, and to New London 168 | miles. The Androseog; and Kennebec railroad was opened on Tuesday November, to Waterville, on the Kennebeo, some miles above Augusta, and about 50 miles from Bangor, en the Penobscot, to which latter place it is expected to continue the line in the course of two years. Waterville is the extreme eastern point as yet reached by the chain of eastern railroads from Boston, belng distant from that city 187 miles, and 421 rom New York. The length of the Androscoggin and Kennebec railroad is 65 miles, from Waterville to Dan- ville, on the Androscoggin, where it connects with the Auantic and St. Lawrence railroad, 27 miles from Portland. The latter company have completed 45 miles of their railroad, The Hon, John Y. Mason, President of the James River end Kanawha Company, has reported in favor of a continuous canal from Richmond to the waters of the Ohio river. Major Gwyn, the Chief Engineer of the Company,in his report of last year, expressed the opinion, that the water line “combines greater advantages than any other improv: nt that can be deviced, with a view to develope the resources and accommodate the trade of Western Virg! And in his report, submitted Tuesday Nov. 27,he enys :—“In relation to the extension of the canal west ot Covington, and the union of the waters of the James and Kanawha rivers, every year's experience and observation confirm me in the views I have heretofore expressed. I believe it entirely feasible aud practicable to carry the water line across the Al- leghany. ‘The receipts of produce at tide-water, via the canal® of this state, up to the 30th of November, in each of the past three yours, were as has been an increage in flour of 05,482 bbie.; Indian corn, 2,237, anda decrease in wheat of 380,665 bushels, and barley 153,820 bus! There falling off in butter of 2,923,309 poands; in 25 pounds; in cheese, 1,234,633 pounds; ia asher, $616 bbls ; pork, 14,176 bbls; and an iacrease in beef of 87,124 bbis.; wool, 3,917,468 pounds; bacon, 204686 pounds. At the date of the above returns, there was one week of canal navigation left, and the receipts of produce for that week will probably be limited, as forwarders have no doubt withdrawn many of their beats, and very few have sioce left the ex- tremitics of the cauals. The above comperatire state- ment will not, therefore, vary much at the close of the season; the aggregates will be larger, but the difference will be about the came, The movements in cotton in this country up to the latest in cach of the past two years, have been as annexed — wenrs or Corron tv rue Usiten Stare. ts up to latewt dat 627,9%7 18, do, 407,567 Porte to lat Dee... 39,370 «137,408 Tota! shipments to northern 14s ee isa,” fac... 19,100 nd and on ebipmen 14, Ine... 65,016 It appears, by this comparative statement, that the receipts up to the Iatest dates, this year, were only 20,570 bales lees than for the corresponding period last year, while the exports to foreign ports had fallen off 187,408 bales, If we take the receipts at the various ports, thus far, as a criterion of the probable aggregate for the year, the conclusion we should come to would be, that the crop of 1840 and 1850 would not vary mnoh from that of 1848 and 1849; but such « comparison would be neither enfe nor proper, It must be borne in mind that prices, this rearon, have ruled considerably above those current at the eame time last year, and that do.
