She is now in her seventeenth day, if she sailed at the time aypointed, and is making an unusually long pas- sege. She must arrive very soon, however. Her imtelligence will be one kk later ntelligence from Calt- Another Partition of Mexieo in| Perspective. Highly Important By the mails of the steamship Ohio, which reached bere on Saturday last, we received » vate despatches of @ most important character | from California, which induce us to believe that it is, and bas been meditated, for a long time past, by some of the most influential and leading mea of that new State, to organize an expedition of Americens, and proceed to that portion of Mexico known as Lower California, with the view of as- sisting the people of that terrisory,in declaring their imdependence of the central government, and af- terwards seeking incorporation with this republic, ia precisely the same manner as the American adven- turers in Texas acted. This intelligence is derived from such sources as place its reliance almost be- yond doubt, In fact, we are informed that some cheice spirits from New York and other cities, on the Atlantic side of the continent, have recently sailed from here, in one of the,California steam- ships, for the purpose of taking part in this pro- @eeding, and of conducting it to success. At the time when the Texans revolted from the government of Mexico, and determined upoa establishing a separate sovereignty, we knew very well, that no matter what reverses they might at firet meet with, their ultimate success was certain. We knew, and in fact so did every one, that their | original object was annexation, and that frem the very nature of things, annexation to this great republic would be the ultimate result of the move- ment. The design was accomplished, and Texas, the lone star republic, was incorporated imto this Union. According to present eppearaaces, and | according to the information which we have thus reeeived trom California, a similar etate of things is about to occur in Lower California. A number of the unfortunate and unlucky gold seekers, who have, within the last two or three years, flocked to our new State on the Pacific in search of the pre- cious metals, have determined upon recovering their lost fortunes, or realizing their extravagant ex- pectatious of wealth without labor, and riches Without toil, by seizing upoa Lower California, | and dismembering it from the Mexican republic, on pretence of going there to dig gold. We have not heard what encouragement the inhabitants of Lower California have offered to the parties who are engaged in this movement, but we have no doubt that some has been promised, or the eater- prise would not be so generally approved of, and po seriously thought of, as we find to be the case. 1k may notbe generally known, but it 1s neverthe- | Jeeoa fact, that, during the late war with Mexico, the people of the department of Tamaulipas, on our Rio Grande frontier, were exceedingly anxious for annexation to this dagpblic, and that they were very much disappointed that the treaty of peace was concluded, withoat the incorportion of that | State into this republic being made one ef it#condi- | tions. The administration of that day doubtless, were anxious enough to get out of the war as il as they could; and Mr. Polk and his cabinet did not, therefore, pay much attention to the wishes of the people ef Tamaulipas, or give them very great ea- eouragement in their hope of ,being admitted as & State of this republic. It is not unreasonable to | judgment, as Two Werxs Large rnom Cusa—Socumrr m Havana.—Our intelligence from Havana includes incidents to the twenty-second instant, to which dates we have our files of the Faro Indue- trial de la Habana, Diario, and Gaceta. The miscellaneous news of public interest will be found in our columag, together with an interesting ac- count of a bell given by the distinguished Count Penalver, at his palace, which is so well known to every one who has visited the captital of Cuba, for its richness and the extent of its grounds. There has been so much said of the exclusive- ness of society, and of the tyranny of those in power, in Havana, that there is reason to notice the fact, that families from this country—from which has proceeded quite recently an armed and lawlees invading expedition—have been treated with a courteous hospitality quite at variance with current reports made on the condition of society in Cuba. We are aware that it has never been the custom for ladies to be invited to the dinner parties of the Captain General of Cuba; but even this social yeculiarity, we have learned, has been laid aside lately, in compliment to an American lady, who has visited the island, in the company of City Inteltigenes. ‘Tue Weatntns Pats ov Brow, whied fell ca boturtey nighingegh et cotliiss lies ties” ing.

Though the population of Havana includes only about one hundred and fifty thousand souls, yet there is, probably, no city in the world where there is more refined society to be found, in proportion to the numbers which distinguish it. The taste for literature and science is very great— and the refining influences of music, painting, and of the opera, are so well understood, as to be sup- ported with a lavish expenditure that surprises the foreigner. The great balls of the fashionable sea- son equal in quality and brilliancy, though not so extensively attended, these of Paris or of London. The recent féte, given by the Conde de Penalver, was one of those great entertainments, carried out, it seems, with a richness and variety of decoration, and at an expense such as the nobility of old coun- tries alone have the meansof producing. On these occasionr, wealth alone cannot procure a passport to an enjoyment of the scenes—but, as has been known among the old aristocracy of France, lite- rary or artistic merit is placed on an equality with rank and titles. The paramount peculiarity of the Spanish nobility is to pay due homage to any use- ful or refining talent that may have distinguished itself; and the foreigner in Havana, when intro- duced to the delightful society of the higher circles, is at once struck by the perfect absence of all pre- tension, and by the ruling spirit of good taste, that mark alike his reception and the various civilities | which attend his intercourse. A republican on who has travelled, of course anticipates much that is elegant in all so culled aristocratic society ; but where refinement is guided by reason and good in Havana, he is at once eur- prised at a style of manners quite equal, if not, in | some respects, superior, to that visible in European courts, The Captain General of Cuba, being the representative of majesty at the court of Madrid, is always selected with reference to the eminent so- | ciety over which he is called upon to preside ; and, hence it is that from the highest officer to the ut- | most limit of the highest circle of society, the man- ners of the Spanish court are reflected, with all the brilliency of the onginal in Spain, without that | variety of character that sometimes includes the | lu@crous and eccentric. Since public attention has beea directed 80 | strongly towards Cuba, by the expedition of Lopez—who is now on trial at New Orleans, | before the United States authorities—anything | interesting or peculiar from this beautiful island will be read with even a more vivid interest than formerly. The opera of ‘ Marti,” of which we had delicious experience, last season, is still flourishing, as everything must flourish, in so refined a community; and the other items of intelligence, with respect to the interest of the mother country, and the progress of the govern- ment generally, will be examined with avidity by every refined and intelligent reader. Amenican Strate Laws anv Fornion Nations. — Our readers,will fitid in another column, sketch of a debate which recently took place in the French Aseembly, on the subject of the State law of } South Carolina, in relation to colored men ar- riving at the ports of that State, and also an article from a London newspaper on the same matter. | The Assembly,and the journal in question,are very jndignant at those laws, aad complain that their | rights may be infringed upon. All we can say 1s, that the Southera States, who have passed those laws, found it necessary to do so, or those cnact- ments would not be in force. 1t was not intended, we suppose, that they should apply to foreign na. | tions, but if they do, the federal government has no more to do with the matter, than it has the liberty to interfere with the city of New York, for passing lawe compelling every emigrant who lands here to pay e tax of ten or twenty dollars. It is no ar- | gument that Fraace or England have a right to re- | monstrate, because they have abolished slavery. They thought proper to do so. Our slave States have not. If emancipation in the British West Indies had not produced such disastrous results to those colonics, as well as to the slaves themselves as it has, our Southern States might abolish slavery; but they have learned that philanthropy Pacer cuir “Unoeawarren.”—Mr R.

She lee very beautiful craft and bears the appearaece of beieg weil suppose, however, that the leading men of Lower California are acting in concert with the principals ‘ef the movement now on foot in Upper California to annex that territory to the United States in the game manner as the Texans accomplished arimilar some years since while we cannot but condemn the morality of the propesed invasion of the territory of our Mexican neighbors, no one can help seeing that it will but have the effect of hastening a state of things which, sooner or later, is inevitable--the absorption, in some way or another, by the United States, of the whole of Mexico. 1t is apparent that the American raee—the unshackled and restless American ener- gy—will, in time, overrun the whole coatiacat earrying with it the blessings of our republican in- stitutions,and conferring benefits on the people whom it subdues. The intelligent men of Mexico, and of Central America, are assured of this, and many ‘of them are anxious to precipitate and hurry it on, knowing well that the change will be beneficial to their respective countries. It may be that the Americans in California have been invited, by the people of Lower California, to go there, for the express purpese of assisting the latter ia throwing off Mexican sovereignty, and becoming, ia time, a State of this republic. It is mot at all improbable that such is the case. Mexico is fated to lose her territory, step by step, State by State, until her nationality be swallowed by the great Northern republic. Tamaulipas will be the next department to move. She, too, will either be invaded by the Americans on the fron- tier, or will solicit assistance to establish her inde- pendence, and be, in due time, annexed There is one feature connected with this move- ment, which, at this time, is of very great imper- tance. When this Lower California movement shall have succeeded, as succeed it will, it will re-open the slavery agitation in this eountry, when the question of the annexation of that State comes wp before Congress and the people. The Union may be again put in jeopardy by it, for we have no doxbt that the South will resist to the utmost any attempt toextend the anti-slavery proviso over it, However, sufficient for the day is the evil thereof. There is no necessity for anticipating events; they will transpire in due order.

James Wartacx, Jn.— The friends of Mr. James Wallack, Jr., who has just finished @ second successful engagement, this season having arraged all the preliminary requirements, wil come forward at the Broadway theatre, on Friday night next, by a testimonial benefit, to show their apprecia- tion of his capacity and acquirements as an actor, and of his accomplishments asa gentleman who digaoifies nis profession. The occasion will be one ot no ordinary interest. It will be the last appearance of Mr, Wal- lack and his lady before their departure for London, and as they are engaged at the Haymarket for a leng period, it may be many years before we shall have another opportunity of renewing the memories of those performances which have given so much gratifi- cation to the public. We have received in this country many English performers with a degree of leniency and kindness, whieh has encouraged their unripened talents; and when make an offering, in @ similar way, of talents which have been well directed by patient study and practice, the least we can anticipate is fair and candid examination by the British public. The name of Wallack is familiar to every one who knows anything of the stage; and as we shall sven re" turn to that father whose London fa only equalled by his cis-Atiantic popularity, a som educated in this country, we hope he will be received right heartily and well. Thie done, his varied talents will accomplish everything else. Inthe meantime,all the friends of Mr. Wallack will join in giving brilliancy to the tes- timonial night of Friday next, when the play of “ai- sippus” will be performed, together with other enter- tainments. Let the Broadway theatre be crowded— for it is the least we can do in testimony to the worth and appreciation of eminent talent.

M. ‘The stock market closed yesterday a little more Duoyant than it opened at the first board, bat the bulls are evidently shaking in the wind. There was con- siderable activity at the second board, and the bears sold freely on time. The decline realizedwithin tbe past two days, is one of those reactions which occasionally occur, upon « rising market, and unless there is some- thing in the perspective calculated to have an anfa- yorable influence upon financial affairs generally, the depression will be but temporary, and the bulls soon have a reaction in thelr favor. The spirit of specula- tion has become 80 widely extended, the facilities for carrying fancy stocks so abundant, the dispesition to purchase to general, and the prospect for an upward t in the spring so good, that the probability is that any depreciation of much importance will not be realized. Although fanoy stocks are piled upin Wall street in large lots, they are easily carried, s0 long as there isa demand that takes away a few hun- dred shares daily. To keep up this demand itis neoss- sary to sustain prices, and reduce pply in the street if possible. It would be good policy on the part of the large holders of all the unproductive fancy stocks, to let them down several per cent during the wiater months. By so doing they would lay a strong founda- tion to build the epring rise upon, givea wider margin for an improvement, and induce outsiders to purchass, who would not touch them at present prices. The dividend paying railroad and other productive securi- ties can be sustained without much difficulty, so long as the money market continues easy. Such stocks as pay the current rates of interest on the investment, ‘are not daily increasing in cost, and if they are not daily increasing in actual valus, specolation will make them active; and if properly managed, put prices up at proper times. Unproductive stocks are at all times nearly a dead weight, and the interest account is con- tinually running against the holder, or purchaser on time, without the smallest return from the stocks themeelves to offset it. Itis more diMoult to inflate prices for unproductive stocks, unless combinations are formed for that purpose; and rudden depreciations are so apt to happen, that outsiders who are not in @ position to watch the market closwly, frequently have their margins wiped out in honest and direct appeal to the community. has labored strenuously to please ¢ pledges of independence and in in the opinion of reflecting and in sheet is on Sunday morning: ublie to sustain him y je intrusion up IN, Editor Sun Des tana. aoe ‘next, the 3d of January, Fight story jew York.

It is a souree of some satisfaction to many outside specula- tors in stocks, to know tha: they are holders of produc- Cr tive stocks—that they have, in the perspective, returns on their investments,in the shape of dends, whieh will enable them to hold in the face of a depreciation in the market value, and if more atten- tion was pald to this important metter, wo should mot 80 ottem hear ef such ruinous losses in the stock mar- ket. Another cause of the disastrous results of many speculative operatians, is the propensity that exists to purebace largely on time with # very small capital. Outeiders frequently buy three, four and five hundred shares of fancy stocks, with just eapital enough to make a depesit of five per cent on the purchase. The conrequence is, that @ depreciation to thet extent throws the stock upon the market, and uses up the deposit. If outsiders purchased only what they could pay for, and put their stocks in their pockets, they would reduce the supply upon the market, which would have a tendency to put up prices and seeure handsome profits on their investments. The present system of rpeculating in stocks is calculated to defeat the very object purchasers have in view ; and, untile ebange is mode. outsiders will invariably have to stand the brunt of all losses. ‘The new route to the West, by the chain of railroads through New Jersey and Pennsylvania to Oswego, &o., now in the course of construction, begins to at- tract attention. We have given the distances on this route, showing that about 100 miles will be saved in the distanee between this city and Genova, compared with either that via the Erie Railroad, or by the line of ratlroads from Albany to Buffalo. ‘The following are the names of the railrosd compa- nies who are constructing this new chein of railroads. We learn that the grade through Pennsylvania is of & most favorable character, and will admit of great speed on the whole line :—The Morris and Essex Rail- rosd Company will own the line from Newark to the Delaware river, at the Delaware Water Gap—the nine miles from Jersey City to Newark being owned by the New Jersey Railroad Company. The distanee from Jersey City to the Delaware Water Gap is 85 miies. From the Delaware river to Leggett’s Gap, (about equal distance, or say 15 miles from Wilkesbarre and Carbondale, Luzerne county, Pennsylvania) is 45 miles, to be conctructed by the Leggett's Gep Railroad Company. From Leggett's Gap to Elmira is 64 miles, ‘the railroad to be made by the Susquehanna and Dela ware Railroad Company. The roed will strike the Erie Railroad several miles cast of Elmira, passing through Tiogs Point. The branch to Owego will leave the one to Elmira about twenty miles this side of ‘Tioga Point. As this road crosses the Railroad at Owego, and there meets the railroad Tthace, it will not be dependent on the Brie Railroad, or in any manner controlled by the operations of that company Passengers for Owego, Ithaca, and Geneve, will, there fore, be enabled to pass ever the new line of railroads when completed, without going # mile om either of the great refiroeds rupning through the State of New York from east to weet; and, as we have said before, they will save about 100 miles between New York and Geneva, compared with the routes now travelled ‘The annexed statement exhibits the amount of coal trade in 1820, te the close of navigation im 1860:— Asrumacire Coat Trane or Panwerirania.
