The Prime Minister, Dr. Judd, of King Kame- hameha, and the two royal Princes of the Sandwieh Islands, will sail to-day im the Canada for England. This visit to Europe is not only for the purpose of having the young Princes educated, but to nego- tiate, probably, with Englend and France, new treaties of amity and commerce. After the recent high-handed course of the French Admiral at the Islands, such treaties are rendered absolutely ne- cessary, to prevent a repetition of the late outrage ef the Fresch, and perhaps, more serious conse- quences than have tollowed the seizure of the forts at Honolulu. Now that a treaty has been made with the United States, we presume that the commercial powers of Europe wil! not long hesitate in effect- ing some arrangement with Dr. Judd. It1s to be expected by this new treaty with King Kame- hameha, that the relations between the United States and the Sandwich Islands, will be much more intimate than they have heretofore been, and important advantages of a commercial and friendly character will no doubt ensue to both therefrom. The growing importance of the Western coast of the United States since the acquisition ef Cali- forma ; the wenderful discoveries of gold in that celebrated region; and the immense emigra- tion thither, together with the construction of the railroad across the Isthmus of Panama, | connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, render | the ited States. It 1s a singular that at the time when Mr. Eames, the recently ap- coincidence, pointed American Commissioner to the Sandwich Islands, was negotiating this treaty in Honolulu, Mr. Clayton, and Mr. Jervis, Commissioner from the King of the Sandwich Islands to Washington, were engaged in the same duty, and that both were formed. It happens, too, that the provisions are almost identical, and that they do not material- ly conflict with each other. By this treaty, Ame- rican steamships will be allowed to enter Honolulu without any charge or toll of aay kind, and a place in the harbor of that island has already been de- signated for the erection of a depot. When any of those communications between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans are completed, and lines of steamships placed on the latter, then the United States will bound at once into a degree of commercial prosperity, which will make the whole world our tributaries, and which will open to us a destiny most dazzling, and such as the mind can hardly conceive. We shall become the carriers of the world—the connecting link between all the ends of the earth—all nations will be com- pelled to pay us toll. New York, the great metro- polis, will become the seat of the moneyed power of the universe. Such is the prospect in store for us, and such the advantages which are even already almost within our grasp. When we reflect upon these things, we can easily account for the non- construction of a communication between the two oceans long before this period. ‘To make it, would be tomake the United States the carriers of the world. This would, at once, destroy the com- mercial supremacy of England, which she has so long exercised. As soon as it is formed, and the Pacific navigated by steam, she loses rank as a commercial nation, and the United States bounds into a position that cannot be assailed. Hence we can account for that nation not moving in the mat- ter up to this time, but now when she sees that ci- tizens of the United States have obtained a grant to construct a canal at Nicaragua, she is desirous of participating in its advantages. The facilities thus extended to us in the treaty above referred to, will make it incumbent on the United States to protect the Sandwich Islands, and to maintain the integrity of the government there. ‘The News from Nicaragua. We publish, in this day’s Herald, certain cor- respondence and official despatches, from Nica- ragua and Honduras, of the most startling charac- ter. The seizure of the islands and sea coast of ‘Honduras and San Salvador, by the British war steamers, under the authority and in concert with the British Charge d’Affaires to Central America, Mr. Frederic Chatfield, are ameng the most high- handed and outrageous acts of aggression since the opium effair in China. The little States of Central America have been inveigled into debt by British agents; and now, doubtless at the instigation of their government, and with the assistance of Her Mayjesty’s steamers, they pounce down upon their victims, and lay claim to their country, in default of payment, at an hour’s notice, under the guns of a steamer. If the rights and independence of Central Ame- rica, however, were only involved in these shame- less proceedings, they might, probably, be passed over, by our peace-loving and neutrality cabinet, #s something in which there would be no occasion to interfere. But our own rights and interests are directly involved. The seizure of the island of Tigre, by the commander of the steamer Gorgon, at very essential to the isterests and conve- mience of the people of the United States, that | the friendly feelings which have from time im- | memorial existed between us and the Sandwich | Islands, should be promoted and maintained. In | the cold season in California the weather is for | months disagreeable, raw and chilly, rendering it | an unsafe place for invalids. Persons of wealth, thus efflicted, will prefer living in Honolulu during the inclement season in Cvlifornia, and the pro- bability is, that it will likewise become a fashion- | able resort or watering place for them, as well | as for wealthy persons in California. No healthier | place exists than Honolulu, and the frequent in- | terckange of friendly relations which this would ereate, would make Honolulu to all intents and purposes a part of the United States. | But in another peint of view the negotiation of this treaty will confer advantages on the United States, of a very important character. The com- pletion ef the railroad across the Isthmus of Pana- ma is now a certainty, before two or three years. As soon as that great undertaking is thrown open, and a connection between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans formed, the whole trade of the inexhausti- ble and prolific East, including China and Japan, must leave the old beaten channel, and instead of | pareirg around the Horn as it has done from time agamemorial, it must cross the Panama railroad, and through such additional interoceanic commu- jcetions es may hereafter be formed. The con- | templated ship cohal at Nicaragua will, when | eompleted, undoubtedly secure a large share of this trade, but the Panama railroad being the first eonnection that will be completed, will for years monopolize it all. The change in the trade be- | urope and the East, will render necessary the establishment of lines of steamships between our Western coast (say San Francisco) and China and India; and the geographical position of the Vnited States is such, that almost the whole of that | earrying trade will be in the hands of Americans. Already arrangements for constructing steamships for this trade are talked of, and the probabillty that by the time the Panama railroad is completed, we shall have several American steamships, ofthe same dimensions and eplendor of the Ohio, Cree | eent City, and Empire City, in operation on the Pasific we Those vessels will convey, all the eostly productions of the East to Panama, thence they will be transported across the railroad to @hagres, and thence distributed to the Atlantic porte, and transhipped to the whole of Europe. From the Atlantic, we could ship our wheat, rice, eotton, tobacco, corn, and other productions, and Jand them im the markets of China, India, New Holland and Japan, at a rate which would defy e@ompetition, in consequence of the advantages whieh we poseess from our natural position. In the trade which will thus, as a matter of eer- ‘tai epring up between our Western shores and China and the East, it 1s of the greatest importance to our steamships to have a stopping place, or half- way house, on their long voyage—long in point of distance, but not in time, for the Pacific Ocean is beautifully adapted to steam navigation. We would need such @ depot for coal, and for repairing any damage or accident which our steamships | might meet with. Honolulu affords those facil- thes. Coal, in great abundance, has been found pear Panama, at Santa Cruz, near Santa Barbara, at the Bay of San Francisco, as well as at Vancou- ver’s Island, in Oregon. From any of those points it might b anc there deposited, 80 as to be always at command, im case of need. On the other side it abounds, at Shanghai, in the island of Formosa, in Borneo, where the English steamers in the Chinese wa: | fers obtain their supplies; in the island of Ceram, in the Indian Archipelago; on the west coast of the | Malayan peninsula; in the bay of Bengal, and | other places. In fact, there is no scareity of that | Most neceseary and useful article; and it can be | had at any of those places in great abundance, and at very moderate prices. All we need for this wade, which will certainly epring up in a compara- tively short time, are facilities at Honolulu, which | is almost in a direct line between Shanghai, in China, (to which port, probably, we shall first di- eet our steemeliipe,) and San Francisco, in Cali- for uch facilities as we have referred to, are all we are in need of to commence this grand revolu- tion in the commerce of the world, and we are gratified in being able to announce that they have been seenred by the treaty between Ilonolula and | this country, were apprebensive of its felliag into | shipped in sailing vessels to Honolulu, | In co-operation with Mr. Chatfield, is an outrage which cannot well be overlooked. That island, by a treaty with Honduras, concluded through the agency of Mr. Squier, our Charge, was ceded to the United States, and possession taken of it under the United States flag. The island has beea in- vaded—the flag torn down—and possession taken by the force of a war steamer, in the name of Queen Victoria. A very natural excitement has | been created by these outrages in Honduras and San Salvador, and they were rapidly mustering their forces for war. Such is the present posture of aflairs in Centra} America. Whether they will contribute, or not, to the “ pacific arrangement” spoken of by the Lon- dom Times, on the Mosquite question, between Sir | Henry Bulwer and Mr. Clayton, remains to be seen. In the meantime, a war steamer or two might be serviceable on both sides of the Isthm If the rights of our citizens and of Central America are to be sustained, there should be no delay ia making the proper inquiry nto this business, in the proper form. Whether the treaty for the island of Tigre was authorised or unauthorised, and whether it may be disapproved or rejected by Mr. Clayton, Mr. Chatfield should be driven off the island asthe first step necessary to a “ pacific arrangement.” | Mr. Clayton was a perfect war horse in the case of | the tobacco boxes. Now we shall see whether it | was all smoke. Something must be done. Arvams 1x Mexico.—We publish in another | part of our columns, this day, a quantity of miscel- | laneous intelligence from this interesting country. | Since the withdrawal of the victorious troops of the Americans from Mexico, the career of that | country, and the course and policy of its govern- ment, have been such as to give decided pleasure and satisfaction to the friends of liberty and order. This satisfaction has chiefly consisted in the dis- appointment of many fears and serious apprehen- | Men of judgement, well acquainted with | sions. anarchy on the removal of the American troops. But the government of Herrera and Arista has maintained iteelf wisely and prudenily; the fac- | tious and ambitious, who attempted to raise revolt | and ¢ fleet revolutions, in various points, have been put down with great vigor and some severity. | These disturbers of the peace of their country | seem to have been instigated by Santa Anna, who, | frem the place of his exile, still exercises a perni- cious influence over his country It will be seen by our intelligence, that the finences of the present government are ina low situation. It is said that means are wanting to perform the poorest services and duties of govera- ment. There may be much exaggeration in this matter, and we hope there is. Party sptritraas high in Mexico, as it does in all free republics, and the prudent government of Herrera has many enemies, of course.

City Intelligence. ‘THE PROPOSED RAILROAD IN BROADWAY. Yesterday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, the committee ap. pointed by the Board of Assistant Aldermen to consider the proeriety of relieving Broadway of the pressure of traffic, by means of @ railroad either through that or the adjacent strects, metin the chamber of the Board: to hear arguments and remonstrances against it. Mr. Edmund Griffin was chairman of the committee. A letter was received from Mr. T, Rowell, of Union Square, in which he objects to the laying down of the or- dinary track, as the present noise, and bustle, and dan- ger, would not be in the least diminished; but pro @ echeme of bis own, namely, to have raised rails at each side of the street, resting upon pillars some twelve feet high, and the wheels of cars to be shod with gutta percha top the vebicles to be stopped at the places by means of it stopp! apples, thus saving the necessity o: nals, to go igh as Twenty-first street. The only objection the iter saw to this plam was, that it would get rid of some of the shade trees in the street. It was, how- ever, heartily laughed at, asthe climax of absu: oe Another letter was received from Mr. E. Treadwell, 1 Warren street, bo pa a model of @ groove rail which would obviate the objection which applies tothe ordinary ratls, of obstructing the free passage of other vehicles besides railroad cars. Other models were sent to theeommittee, but they were not deemed of importance till the point was first settled whether there should be avy railroad in Broadway; as it would be time enough to determine upon the mode, when the question was de- cided in the affirmative. It has been suggested, that instead of running the rails through Broadway, some of the streets running jel with it should be selected; but In the event of xing upon Broadway as the of the track, there were two plans proposed — first, a track commencing at the Bowling Green, thence around Union Square, and returning to the Bewling Green Agata; secondly, aline pcan Be whole length of the island, through Broad- way and the Sixthavenue. mong the gentlemen present who o| 1d the pro- ject, were Mr. Alexander Stewart, of the “ Marble Pa- ”” Broadway; Mr. Philip Hone, Mr. John J.

He said he bad already expended a considerable sum of money | in Lf ayer ‘@ portion of Broadway, and he hed in- tended to toeke efurther expenditure, in extending his premises to the corner of Chambers street; but the mo- | ment he found the project of # railroad in Broadway mooted, be Psy @ stop to operations. and he was deter- mined not proceed | any further till he saw how this question was settled.

This wes all that was wanted in Broadway, Several gentlemen here expressed their doubts of any such police torce being found in New York Aron; thore who were most warmly in favor of the saiieosh was Mr. Scott, who maiptained that the interests of the citizens at large, instead of the owners of property on Broadway should be consulted. The effect of the estab- lishment of @ railroad in Brot y ld be to ex- tend the city up town, add to the taxable interest, and thus diminish the burden upon all, instead of driving our citizens over to Brooklyn, to enrich that city at the expense of New York.

M, The fancy stock market is slowly bat steadily falling back to ite former level, and the bulls find that it is utterly useless to attempt any inflation of prices for such recurities, At the first board to-day, Erle, Read- ing, Norwich. and Morris Canal fell off 4 per vent each, At the second beard, North American Trust and Hud- son River Railroad declined \ per cent each. Hariem appears to be the most difficult fancy for the bulls to manage, and the quantity that has been put vpon the leading purchasers recently, will feel much heavier six months hence than it does new, and there- fore be more dificult to carry. The bulls have again started the old story about a dividend, and some of them having more money than brains, have made offers to buy the dividend, which it is reperted will be made next February, Erie Railroad stock will hereafter be quoted dividend off. The price ef this stock to-day, ‘bree per cent dividend on, ia just the same as that current last June, dividend off, showing @ depreciation ia market value oftbree per cent. The cash sales, what are considered carh sales. between this and ‘ee ‘1st of January, 1850, will be ade for the opening. Here- tofore the transactions in this stock, between the closing and the opening of th- books, have been 1#rge, and all the contracts coming due on the same day, have usually create? @ dewand for the stock, and’ prices bave advanced ; bat as the receivers have been: unable to bold, the stock bas soon after come upon the’ market, and prices have rapidly depreciated, This’ will probably be the course prices will take upen the closing and opening of the books, this time. Reading Railroad stock has not been so aotive in thii market during the past dey ortwoas previously reported, but in Philadelphia rales have been to an enormous extent. The probability is that the Philadelphians will get: all of this stook they want, and that they will be the victims ofa game somewhat similar to that played upon the Bostonians @ year or two since. Itis pretty well understood in Wall street where the money comes from, that is used for buying Reading Railroad stock, end the probability istbat when the interest on the Company’s bonds is due—the lst of January next—that. the treasury will have to be replenished by large sales of the stock. Long Island has fallen off 13¢ per cent within the past three or fou: days. The fact is, all theee four railroad companies ere perfect wrecks, and if at any time holders manage to get prices up a per cent or two, it can be but temporary—a sort of gal- vanic effort, that soon exhausts itself, and prices fall ‘beck to @ pint below that started from, The annexed statement exhibits the quotations for foreign and domestic exchanyes, ‘or specie, and for un- current money ;— Fonrion Bxcuaners, ia Gs, 106 ‘eo Amsterdam... 3034 T8473; Dox: 5 Doxnsric Browsers.

It appears, from recent experiments made on the Camden and Amboy road, that Cumberland coal has fully sustained its characte: a+ a superior fuel for the use of railroads; and following the example of the Camden ond Amboy, similar experiments are in pro- gresson the Reading road. It has been ascertained that Cumberland coal will create more steam than any other species of coal, and when compared to wood, the difference in point of economy is not less ratisfastory. The official reports of the Baltimere and @hio and Camden companies bave proved that a ton of Cumber- land ccal is equal to two and « half cords of wood; eon- sequently, coal at six dollars would resultio « saving of fifty per cent, wood being at four dollars'the cord. It is not, however, very probable that the Erie com- pany will use Bloc sbur, coal for several years, as wood will be abundantly swpplied at a price not to exceed one dollar and twenty-five cen! To the above we way also add, that E. K. Collins, Esq., bas made several valuable exceriments, with and without blowers, which Lave resulted in the eonvic- tion that Cumberland o:a| is the best fuel for steam purposes.

The improvement has all been realized within the part week, and the probability is that the tarning point has been reached. Government stocks have not been very active for several days past, and prices hare been drooping; but the advices recently received from Furope, will doubtless give them an upward impetus, Capitalists here are anxiously looking for the organiza- tion of the lower House of Congress, that something definite may be known relative to theslavery question, ‘We apprehend a very exciting time during the present ression. and it 1# probable that foreign holders of Ame- rican recurities will become alarmed, and exbibit a dis position to realize, This may, at least, arrest the up. ward movement in prices, and may go farther, and pro duce depreciation. As soon aa the lower House is or~ genized, the movement will commence; but whit the rerult will be, no man can tell.
