THE NAVIGATION LAWS IN JAMAICA, [From the Kingston Journal, January 30.) ‘A Kussian bark, named after the great apostle of free irade, Richard Cobden, arrived in our harbor afew days ago, from Bremen, with a cargo al- | most exclusively German. Under the late naviga- tion laws, she could not have brought any mer- chandise here, save the produce of her owa coun- try. By the same laws, she was forbidden to convey our produce to Eng aud; butshe may now | compete with British shipping, and with the ship- pivg of every other nation which may have con- sented to reciprocate the advantages of unrestricted commerce with England, in the transport of our sugar and rum to the home market. By the papers received yesterday, we observe that Holland is hut 10 follow the example of England. ‘The | Ministers bad laid before the Dateh Parliameat a roject for materially modifving the navigation ] ws.

The Recent News from Callfornia—Mag- pificence of the Future, The intelligence from California received by the last arrivel in this city, a part of which we published in our colvinns yesterday, and the rest of which will be found in our double sheet, to-day, may be justly considered the mostimportant of the kind that we have received from that remarkable terri- tory, since the firstdiseovery of the gold mines there. It is not alone the greatimportation of gold dust, contained in the manifest of this vessel, or | the imports that may fellow, which give impor- tance tothe news brought to this metropolis by the last arrival. Our intelligence 1s of ali kinds— polit social, commercial, aad mineral. All thia intelligence convinees us tnat California, with tts present population and prospects, promises to exert as great an influence onthe commercial and political history of the present age, as the discovery of this great continent did, three centuries ago. The general intelligence which we give to-day, and digested, to be properly under- It is difficult to descend to minute particulare; bot there are a few leading points, end important views, by which the well regulated wind can arrive at a correct and accurate conclu- sion, opening to us the magnificence of the future which the annexation and discovery of the wealth of California have given to this republic. The quantity of specie imported by thisarrival is stated tobe two millions ot dollars, and is, probably, more. ‘Ihe aggregate importations of specie to this metropohs, from California, during the last reason, may not have reached ten millions, al- though some estimates put it at more than that; but ifsuch a quantity of gold dust has reached New York in that brief period, what calculation can we make of the amount that has gone from California to other parts of the world, in ex- chenge for the vast quantities of goods which reached San Francisco, and other ports, soon af terthe first discovery of the wealth of California? Estimates have been published, that the yield of must be read | gold there, during the last season, reached forty nullons of dollars; ond if all the facts could be as certained, we have no doubt that the aggregate yield of the gold mines must be something over twenty, millions of dollars, and may reach thirty millions. ‘This is a great and mighty fact in the commence- ment of the history of this new country. Yet the immense yield of Califorma has in some instances caused the mind to believe that it was an unusual end extraordinary yield, which no future time and no future labor can eahibit in those regions. But from the information and the tacts received by the last arri and the specimens of gold which have been submitted to us, coming from different goxcuieus Wid such & mation, as it had been ua- provoked, the upshot of a short struggle was, that China was torced into an ignomini gave to England all but the monopoly of her to- reign comm ree. It was probably well for man- kind that this took place, although the good results which followed never can sanctify the barbarity of England’s aggression. In the year 1842, there. fore, the port. «! China were opened with freedom to forei.:. » ations, for the first time ia her history. T \-erto, the world had very little reliable infor- mation about the empire; and until the present time even, not much has been satisfactorily ascer- tained in regard to her internalreeources. Enough, however, is known to justify the assertion, that there is no other nation onthe globe from which such incalculable wealth can be drawn, through the legitimate channels of commerce ; and it is now equally certain that, by our close proximity over the calm waters of the Pacific, by meane of steam, the United States will have at their disposal greater facilities for appropriating these advantages than are, or can be, possessed by any other nation, Her products are consumed in this country to a vast extent; but the consumption of them, by di- minishing the price, or improving the quality, may be soon quadrupled. Besides, our commerce with her will be most profitable, because, rich in metal- he wealth, and poor in many of those apphances of ervilization which are so common amongst other nations, she will receive from us, in payment of all the products that we buy, the fruit of our own soil, or our own machinery. These are some of the facts and some of the conclusicns that have been brought to our notice by the recent arrival from California. The details, in various ways, will be found ia our columns to- day. But those details will be insufficient, m themselves, to lead the mind towards comprehend- ing the megnificent fature in store for us, without combining all that we know on this side of the mountains, with all that 1s known on the other side. California has organized herself, and now asks admission as one of the States of the Union. This application 18 made at a most interesting ensis. For several months past the Congress at Weshington have been disorganized, in conse- quence of the agitation and fanaticism growing out of the slavery question. Is it not time for the principal and leading members of the govern- ment, in both houses of Congress, to bethink themselves of the great destiny which awaits this megnificent republic, and to lay aside all | ebstrections, all idle reveriee, which have heretofore divided parties in the several States of this Union, the principal of which is the Wilmot proviso—to come up at once to the mark— | to admit California, with proper State boundaries, and to gettle the whole question of the new terri- | tones at once, in order that the United States may | enter on the new and fresh career which the future | begins to open uponher? With the prospect be- fore us, in the gold and other mines of California, there can be no doubt but that the influence of ‘his country, on Mexico and Central America, wiil gradually dispose and determine everything in favor of our policy in those regions. The con- struction of the Panama railroad wili soon be com- menced and carried into execution. A new treaty, itis said, has been made between the American | Secretary of State, at Washington, and the British Minister, for the purpose of settling, on amicable principles, the question cf authority in relation to the Nicaragua canel, a canal which has probably more importance and more connection with our terntones in California, than any other project, except it be that of a railroad across the moua- tains. With theze facts, views, and magnificent pros- pects before ue, is it a time, we ask, to allow fuc- tionists or fanatics to run riot in abstractions, and Jay a foundation for a disumion or dissolution of this glorious confederacy? We are in the very commencement of a great and mighty age, an age that will give to the United States, if Congress thould exercise wisdom and moderation in set- | tling disturbing questions, not only a controlling | influence parts of that territory, we are sutisfied that Cali- | fornia is one of the greatest wonders of the world, end that its wealth and magnificence are by no means realized to their natural or proper extent. Among the items of California intelligence, in to- day’s paper, will be found a description of some of those specimens brought by passengers in the re- | cent arrival. There is a very strong belief among persons conversant with these matters, that the whole range of the Sierra Nevada is a goldea rerge of mountains—that it is inexhaustible, and wiil furnish, by proper working and scientific ap- heation, gold enough for ages to come, and ia i ities that were never conceived of, even in Arabian Nights Entertamments. Bat it is not gold alone that California yields. Cianabar, or quicksilver, so important In working the silver wines of this continent, 1s equally as abundant in certain regions of that country as gold, in the vall-ys rusning from the Sierra Nevada. With ench a proepect ef wealth and natural riches in California, it is believed, by those comp: tent to judge, that if the United States were to place ali those lands aad mountains and valleys 1a the markets of the worl, that their sale would | yreld eufficient, and more than sufficient, to build | the most mighty railroad across the continent 4 | hat has ever been attempted in any part of the | a was | world. The wealth of the mountains and valley»! of California, equal to a yield of fifty or a hua- dred millions of dollars per year, would be quy | sufficient to meet any contiegency—any demands construction of euch a railroad. The gen- | eral government cf the United States ought, there. | fore, to look on those wild lands, and elevated mountains, and vast ranges of gold mines of Cali- fornia, with a view to meke them avail construction of a railroad that would connect the Atlantic with the Pacific Ocean, through the great South Pass, or throvgh some other region prac- tieeble for such a work. The cupitalists of the old world, and the adventurers throughout Europes over this continent, bat an ence over Europe, that will lead to liberty, peht, and future civilization, beyond anything that she already possesses. Let the new State of California, with proper boundaries and without reference to the slavery question, be ad- | mitted at once into the Union, and let all the other territories be organized on the same basis, without eny proviso, eud a government assigned to each. Iris full ume to eetile ull these matters in detail, = io order that the entire republic end the whole | people, may be enabled to go to work with energy, | eed bring around that period, when all the wealth | the country may be uavied in producing the same | gord work, mm opening some lines of communtea- tion between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The proposed reilroads and canals—the Panama rail- rood—the Nicaragua canal—another through the isthmus ef Tehuentepec—ory even a ralrond through the great South Pass—meas be adopted for facilitating the coustruct etaa early day, of all these projected works of enters prise. Such works and such measures would lead tow union of all those countnes and all those re- | poblies bewween the British colonies on the North , bad vod the Isthrus of Darien on the South.

In the Senate of the United States there was no matter of importance discussed ; but our speciad telegraphic correspondent, as will be seen adjoined, Prepares the public mind for another movemeat. ‘When Gen. Houston has enforeed and expounded his views, relative to the compromise proposed by him, the plan of Mr. Douglass will be presented, Probably, 1p all its curious details, How that plan will be received it is impossible to conjecture ; but of one thing we may be certain, the agitation of the slavery question will derive no little fermenta- tea therefrom. It may tend ‘to Settle the mental and political warfare; but our anticipations are that avery different kind of epithem will be ree quired to close the ranklmg weunde of the nation. Inthe House of Representatives, yesterday, as will be perceived by the report, the House went into a Committee of the Whole on the bill limuting the expences for collecting the revenue. A stroag interest has been excited on this subject for a great number ef reasons, many of which have been al~- luded to by Mr. Winthrop in the course of his re- marks. In sifiing the wheat from the chaff, seve- ral importent suggestions will be found to have been made by the member from Massachusetts, and they will iead to sich discussion as will elicat ‘he uuth 4g to the position of the mercantile com- munity—léaving the cabinet to get out of their difficulty as they best can. Never was an admi- nistration so crippled by a want of sagacity and foresight on the part of its incumbents; and till President Taylor brings a litle of his generalship- to bear upon his officers, we can hope for few sa- utary changes in the course affairs have taken.

In the geantime, the Senate Committee om Territories, are iting an opportunity for their project. . . Mr. Clay bas got the North alarmed, and that iso great point to start upon. The plan of Mr. Douglass proposes—First, to admit, Califernia with limited boundaries, Second, tolegalize the Mormon government of Deseret, as a territorial. government, and to extend it over all the Great Basin, till Congress shall otherwise ordain. ‘Third, to legalize ‘he territorial , overnment of the people of New Mexico, on the ‘ame terms, including the disputed territory with the connent of Texas--the lend to be paid for, and> right of wey secured to Texas by @ line west to the | Paso de) Norte, (the only passin that country, through to Califorz Fourth, to provide for admitting a new “lave Slate ‘rom Texas, as an offset to the free State of Caliiccuia. Fifth, to appoint officers to Deseret and: New Mexico, the same as to Minnesota and other ter- ritor! It is thought that the South wiil agree to this, be- cause it ecm tea clave State as an equivalent for Cali- fornia; recites to Texas the Paso del Norte, and pro- vides gove: uments for Deseret aud New Mexioo, on the: basis cf ther owpieonventions- and because Deseret doce’ not exclude slavery. Mr. Douglass, however, will wait till the temper of the Senete indica es the time for action. We leern from Kichmond, Va., that the Legislatar® of that State have adopted strong slavery resolutions.
