Annexation of Canapa anp CUBA TO THE Unrren Srares.—This complex idea has occu- pied the public mind of this country ever since the close ot the Mexican war, and the recent move- ments in Canada, as well as the color and com- plexion of things in the Island of Cuba, tend, in connection w th other matters, to give great edge and increased importance to the whole affair. We refer particularly to the surmises and obscure hints thrown out by our special correspondence from Washington, relative to the probable intentions of Sir Henry Bulwer in this matter, in connection with the future history and destiny of the United States. The slavery question, which has been mainly generated by the annexation of Texas, New Mexico, and California to this coun- ty, begins to create a spirit of division and separation, that threatens anything but peace and quiet to this great Union. The an- nexation of Canada and Cuba would only mul- tiply the difficulties that surround it, and perplex the friends of the Umon to a greater extent Now, when we recollect the strong spint shown by the British government to allow Canada to separate trom the mother country, and unite with this republic, together with the strange rumors that have been circulated with regard to the fate ot Cuba, and the movements in the south- em States, we are not disposed to look with in- credulity on the surmises ot our correspondent at Washington, which he connects with the mission of Sir Henry Bulwer to this country. The British | Mimster 1s full of European intrigue. He 1s a pupil of Lord Palmerston, who is himself a model in the tricky school of diglomacy- Coming from Spain, where he resided many years, has tended to increase his chances and his knowledge of all those questions connected This intelligence, we have the best reasoa for beheving, comes from a most accurate and au- thentic source. In fact, itis as reliable in its gene- ral features, and in many of its details, asif it were authenticated by the Secretary of State himself. | It is important at this tme, to the whole commer. | cial interests of this country, and, indeed, we may say, to those ef the civilized world, to know act eurately the pr ion, and the time when it will be probably closed, thereby opening the way for the ultimate and important steps which are to be taken in the coustruction of the canal Iftheee acco are as correct as we believe they are, the proepect is a vast and mighty one to the commercial world of Europe and America. The “ blusteriog and blundering” of the two go- verpments, as our correspondent terms their coa- duct in this matter, will only become fit subjects of eareasm and dry wit, particularly when we re- flect for a moment on the vast interests that will be benefitted, and the great impulse which willbe given to commerce and civilization, by the con- stiuction und opening of such a canal. It appears, also, thet as soon as the negotiations shall have been terminated, by the repudiation im part by both governments of the ultra movements of their respective agents in Central America, there wil] be a very important movement made among Lon- don capitalists, and probably among those in Wall street too, fcr raising the fifteen or twenty mil- jions that may be necessary to construct the canal. We are glad to learn that the British Minister, under the euthority of the British government, and probably with the concurrence of British capi- talisie, is ready to raise two-thirds or three-fourthS of the whole amount. Another important feature in the prospective settlement of this business, is the permission to Russia, or any other government, to come in and cccupy the same position as a protective power over the destiny and future history of the canal in question, as the United States and England will held. Such a settlement of this knotty con- roversy, while it leads the mind to contemplate the vast benefits which it will confer oa commerce and civilization, also suggests to the politician various novel ead eecentrie views as to the future influence whict 1 these events may exercise over | this continent. 7 is no time, however, todraw the mind from the re ummediate results in a | commercial point of view. * The prebable and peaceful settlement of this | opportunity with Cuba, which would give him power over the destinies of that beautiful island. If it is the pur- pose ot the British government, and of the other powers of Europe, to settle the Central American question to the satisfaction of our goverament, in order that they may throw into the boiliag caul- dron of agitation in this greatand growing republic, Canada end Cuba, we must say they have now, in the present state of parties at Washington, in the alienations between the difierent sections of the country, in the madness of the abolitionists, and the alarms of the southern people, a better to break up this great confe- deracy, and reduce the whole of this conti- nentto the same distracted condition as South America has presented for a few years, than they have had in any former age. The North- em States and Canada might form one repub- jie, the southern States, and Cuba another, Cali- fornia, on the Pacific, coast another, and it would be much easier for the British government and the other monarchical powers of Europe, to prevent the influence of this great aad mighty country in European affairs, under such a state of divided governments, than under its present growing, mighty, and imperial sway. Tue Carrornia Marts.—We have seen a letter from the best authority in Panama, dated the 10th of December, stating that ‘the mail brought by the steamer Panama is detained here (Panama); the mail egent retaining it till the arrival of the Falcon (ut Chagres), on the Ist proximo.”” According to this, it appears that a mail did arrive at Panama, by the Panama. There is, therefore, gross neglect on the Isthmus, in regard to the dispatch of the letters and papers to the United States, and we consider it necessary, and so do the merchants, that a suit- able mail agent should be sent to Panama, to take cere of the mails in future. It is to be hoped that with the Georgia, Chero- kee, Ohio. Empire City, &c , &c., our communi- cation with the gold region will be quick and regular hereafter. Tne Press anp THE Orrick or Curer or Potice. —A clerk in the office of the Chief of Police is in the habit ef devoting his time to the reporting of the proceedings of the Common Council, and he | also supplies police and other intelligence, from the Chief's office, to two or three newspapers in the city. Now we think there must be unfairness somewhere. Either the gentleman is not paid a eubje eo fir matured as to induce the company now organized under a charter fromthe Nicaragua | government, te start as soon as practicable (which, | we understand, will be in two or three months), a | new line of rajad steamships on both sides of the Isthmus, connecting between Nicaragaa lake and | the Pecitic shere by a land carriage of about fifteen miles. From the accounts which we received by the | Ohio steemship, which vessel errived here the day | before yesterday from New Orleans, we ere put in poesestion of some of the details of that matter, and are ascured that, notwithstanding the return | of Mr. Cornelius Vander and Mr. Morgan, the | remaining persons of the party charged with the | business have proceeded to Nicaragua, for the purpore of opening the line in question, by pur- | chasing mules for the land carriage, and perform: ing other business of equal importance. Early inthe spring, therefore, we may see three different lines | of cteumehips established between New York and | San Frencisco—two by the way of the Isthmus of | Panema, and the one to which we refer, via Nicara- | gva leke. This important enterprise has lately pro. | duced some sense on the public mind; and whea the rapidity with which it is undertaken and will | be completed, is told in Europe, it will produce an equal sensation among the business men and com: | mercie! spizits on the other eof the Adantic | - | Tnx Recent Derancation.— Our special corre pondent at Washington, cent re- | ported defalcations discovered by the present cat net, since they came into power.

In a consultation, yesterday, among certain lead- ing democratic Senators, 1t was agreed that one of them, on the arrival of the gallant Hungarians, from New York, should introduce a resolution, suggesting a grant of land to the exiles. Mr. Seward was too quick for this arrangement, how- ever; his resolution, to-day, cuts out the democrats on the land speculation, and goes even ahead of Gen. Cass, on denunciation of Russia and Austria. So much for the prospects of 1852. The Austrian resolution of Cass is still pending. Mr. Slicer, Methodist, is defeated, as Chaplain of the Senate, by Mr. Butler, Episcopalian, elected by the casting vote of the Vice President. Mr. | Butler is the husband ot the lady who was one of the witnesses against Bishop Onderdonk. An immense pile of forergn and domestic nomi- nations have gone into the Senate, including, as we learn, the New York and Philadelphia ap- pointmente. That of Colenel Webb is among thera. There is no report upon any yet, except that of Mr. Ramsay, as Goveraor of Minnesota, which is recommended to be confirmed. Itis said that Sir Henry Bulwer disclaims, as you have previously reported, the conduct of Mr. Chatfield in Nicaragua, and states that the island of Tigre will be conceded to the United States. It is said that in the ship canal all nations are to be placed upon an equal footing. Among other on dits, it1s said that if the treaty ceding Tigre Island to this gove mment goes to the Senate, an amendment will be moved, applying the Wilmot Proviso to the island. The democrats of the House took the alarm on the first vote to-day, and after bringing up several sick absentees, they have been working to post- pone the election of Clerk, as they have reason to suspect that the free soilers will unite on Foote. Hatr-rast Tex, P.M. We understand that Bishop Hughes is in the city, and has secured a California mail agency for a Mr. Bailey, of New York—a relation of the Bishop's private secretary. Last session, Mr. Benton’s resolution was passed, continuing the officers of the Senate ia their places indefinitely. A design is on foot to rescind that resolution, and have a new election of secretary, &e., for the benefit of certain outside democrats. We are authorized to state, that Texas will probably se!l out her claim to the disputed tern- tory, for ten or fifteen millions of dollars. Col. Benton’s preposition looks to some such arrange- ment.
