Hew York, Sunday, February 6, 1853. The News. ‘The dense fog and unsettled state of the weather, yesterday, prevented three steamers, two or three slipper ships, and alarge number of other vessels, in- @ading about forty fore-and-aft schooners, from pro- @eeding to sea. Among the steamers detained was ‘the Collins steamer Baltic, for Liverpool. She will eave at noon to-day. An unusually large amount of business was trans- C. received full instructions from his government by the steamer Africa, but they came a little too late to be ofservice during the existence of the present ad- ministration. Under these circumstances, Mr. Davis thas adopted the expedient suggested in our columns some time ago, for the practical settlement of the fish- eure fish on equal terms with the colonists, this go- vernment will abolish the duty of twenty per cent on ‘the fish brought into our ports in British vessels, Will the British government do this ? Among other measures passed by the Senate were the Naval Appropriation and the Missouri and Ar- kansas Railroad land bills. An unsuccessful attempt ‘was made to encumber the latter with Mr. Bennett's Jand division bill. The friends of this project seem determined to keep it afloat, for the very proper rea- gon that, while the public domain is being so lavish- Jy distributed among the new States, for the pur- poses of internal improvement, the old States ought not to"be altogether forgotten. Various important ‘amendments having been made to the Deficiency ‘Wall, by the committee, notice was given that it would be called up to-morrow. Judge Butler made a speech against the constitutionality, necessity, and practica- bility of the Pacific Railroad scheme. ‘Three private bills were passed by the House of ‘Representatives, after which a long and uninteresting @ebate took place concerning the printing of the ensus returns. How often we are called upon to re- ford the excessive waste of valuable time upon the wabject of printing. The joint resolutions reported by the committee were eventually passed without amendment. They provide that the simple census returns alone shall be published, and that the histo- rical matter gathered by the superintendent shall be thrown out. Nothing of importance transpired in our State Benate yesterday. The members who had recently een thrown into such an extraordinary state of ex_ eitement about the Broadway Railroad affair, proba. Diy concluded that as it was near the Sabbath, it ‘would hardly comport with their divinity and morality to meddle with it. It is presumed that they will to- morrow again pounce upon it with renewed ven- geance. In the meantime, read the synopsis of the proceedings with regard to the matter in the Supe- thor Court, in this sity, yesterday. By the arrival of the steamship Canada at Boston, ‘we have been placed in possession of some additional and very interesting intelligence from Europe. Later advices from Buenos Ayres, via England, an- mounce that Urquiza had defeated one of the expe- tions sent against him by the Buenos Ayreans, and ‘that his troops had cruelly butchered two hundred of their captive enemies. The other expedition, finding Urquiza’s force too strong to oppose, succeeded in eutting its way into a neighboring province that had @eclared in favor of Buenos Ayres. In the midst of the sanguinary scenes of revolution and desolation, the government of Paraguay remained quiet, pre- werved a strict neutrality, and was endeavoriug to induce the influx of foreingners into its territory, by granting them many important pri- vileges. The attention of English journalists ap- pears to be chiefly directed to the marriage of the Emperor of France., In descanting upon this subject, even the London Times, which has hitherto almost invariably censured his different acts, is compelled to admit that this proceeding on the part of Louis, though in direct violation of established imperial custom, was not only socially but politically proper. While he has consulted his own happiness by bestow- ing his beart upon the object of his affection, he has made friends among the masses of the people by se- Jecting « partner for life from among the democracy. The Canada’s mails will arrive in this city, by ex- press from Boston, about eleven o'clock this evening. Full details of the moet important of the news will be given in to-morrow morning's paper. A despatch from Norfolk announces that the ship Antarctic, from Liverpool for New York, was yester- day in Hampton Roads, with a large number of those on board suffering from the small pox. No less than sixty persons had died from this horrible disease since she left Liverpool. Our Albany correspondent writes that, in conse- quence of the rain and fine weather, the ice in the Hudson river was fast dissolving, and a genera! breaking up was hourly looked for last evening. The report of the City Inspector shows that three hhundred and ninety-three deaths have taken place in this city within the last week. This is an increase of twenty-nine deaths over that of the preceding week. Sixty-three men, eighty-five women, one hundred and twenty-four boys, and one hundred and eleven girls, have died during the last week. One hundred and sixty children have died under five years ofage. Fifty-six have died of inflammation, which is occasioned chiefly by the wet weather we have had nearly every day during the last week. Fifty-four persons have been carried away by con- samption, while eighty-four have died of various fevers. Sixty-three children have died of conynl- sions and croup. ‘There were fourteen deaths from apoplexy, and thirty of dropsy. Two hun- dred and sixty-five of the dead were natives of thi country. ‘Tae Pacific Ralbread—Cengress and eur Le- c ‘question of « from the ‘The Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ooean, has been for some days past under discussion in our State Senate, and ‘in the Senate of the United States ; but neither in the debate in our Le- gislature, nor in the long, windy, hair-splitting, constructive speeches in Congress, can we de- tect any satisfactory signs of practical legisla- tion. Agitation, however, is something—in- deed, it is indispensable to “ put the ball in mo- tion.” No great project has ever been accom- plished without agitation. The more, therefore, the Pacific Railroad is discussed, in Congress and out of Congress, the sooner shall we arrive at that most important desideratum—the adop- tion of some practical plan, and the practical commencement of the work. The bill before our State Assembly provides for the incorporation of the New York com- pany, whose projét for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad we published some ten days ago. The basis of their plan is private enterprise, starting out upon the public credit. They propose to borrow thirty millions of the government, to be drawn in instalments as the road progresses, the government to be satisfactorily guaranteed the re-payment of the money, in addition to the advantage of many millions of transportation, free of charge. over the entire length of the road. In connection with this plan of the New York company, we gave, also, an outline of Whitney’s plan, Col. Benton’s plan, and of the plan more recently introduced into the United States Senate by Mr. Gwin, of California, Since that time, Mr. Rusk, of Texas, from the special committee on the subject, has introduced a substitute to the plan of Mr. Gwin; and for several days past it has been the subject of an interesting debate, though somewhat marked by cobweb abstractions and transcendentalisms, on the part of certain Senators seemingly am- bitious of imitating the fine spun theories of Mr. Calhoun. Mr. Rusk proposes, in his bill from the special committee, that it shall be the duty ofthe President to cause to be constructed, as goon as practicable, a railroad and magnetic telegraph line, connecting the valley of the Mississippi with the Pacific ocean, at such points as he may designate; the President to determine the general route, and to employ engineers and surveyors to furnish him with in- formation, &c. The bill grants the right of way, threehundred feet wide, through the public lands, for the construction of said road; appropriates alternate sections of land, six miles wide on each side through States, and twelve miles on each side through territories, and $20,000,000 in five per cent bonds, redeemable in fifty years—the road to be constructed in the most complete and finished manner, and to be a first class road— as soon as the general route is determined, proposals to be advertised for, and the work given to the lowest responsible bidder. The rest of the bill, containing fourteen sections, is occupied in the various details of the above general provisions. A variety of objections have been made to this plan, among the most prominent of which are, the old hackneyed plea of the Congressional ignoramus that it is unconstitutional, as if the constitution tied up the government, hand and foot, in all things except the pay and mileage of members of Congress—the plea that it interferes with State rights, and the invariable searecrow of the modern demagogue, that it creates a monopoly dangerous to the rights and liberties of the American people. This old song has been sung so often by the very pa- triotic law makers and law breakers at Wash- ington, that it has become a bore ; or it is more generally regarded as the idle declamations of a head afflicted with a paucity of original ideas, and goes for nothing. The bill of Mr. Rusk is, however, open to serious objections. It is too loose, too vague and general in its provisions, too admissible of indefinite expansion. and too weak, from being so indefinite. It arranges nothing; but leaves everything at the discretion of the President—a very large power, which, even if he had nothing else to do, he could scarcely exercise with the discretion he might think necessary to secure an early beginning of the work. Se- veral years might pass before he could venture to determine as much as the route for the road; whereas. before two years are over, 500 miles of the line might as well be laid down with iron rails as not. But as for any constitutional scruples on the subject, we apprehend that the power given to Congress to construct post roads, and all the other powers necessary to carry this power into effect, cover a margin broad enough for a railroad, or a dozen railroads, across the continent, or-around the entire continent of North America, with the consent of our neigh- bors. It is not one of the practical functions of Con- gress, nor of the President, however, to super- vise and manage the building of railroads. Let them provide the means, but leave the work to private enterprise. The superiority of the Collins steamers over those built by the “ old fogies” of the government, will illustrate our meaning. And the putting of the work, as Mr. Rusk proposes to do, by contract to the lowest bidder, would most probably result, as the printing of Congress has resulted on the same plan, in the worst kind of work—in an utter failure of the contractors to fulfil their obliga- tions, and, finally, in a claim for some thou- sands, or millions perhaps, for losses sustained under the contract. The nearest approximation we have seen toa practical scheme—prima facie practical, and to the point, is the plan of the New York company It combines the requisite amount of individual skill, talent, experience, and practical connec- tion with all the various branches of railroad building, from the engineering and the smelting of the iron ore to the casting of the rails, the building of the machinery, the cars, depots, and every thing appertaining to a modern railroad. We have here in fact, combined in this proposed corporation, a large number of the leading rail- road men of the United States, in the various branches of the business. And the Pacific Rail- road demands just such a combination of private skill and experience and energy, in connection with the proposed basis of the government credit. The work will demand both the credit of the government and the most powerful concentra- tion of individual enterprise to carry it through. Glance at it. We start from the Mississippi, and after crossing rivera, swamps. and morneses and forests, for some two hundred miles, more or less, we strike the great plains, requiring very lit- tle grading, but destitute, for seven or eight hun- dred miles, of a human habitation or a stick of timber—then we penetrate the desolate defiles of the Roeky mountains for at least three hundred miles before we get out; then we enter the North American Sahara, the da, or the snowy 1 ‘come within striking distance of San Diego and desert of the Great Basin, and its six hundred of volcanic hast be we round of the Sierra No of California, and the Pacific ocean. Over this line of two thou- sand miles, the timber for the substructure of the road must be from hree points— from the Mississippi valley, to furnish the tim- berless vacuum to the Rocky mountains; and while the canons of those mountains must sup- ply the waste of the Great Basin to the Sierra Nevada. that chaia and the coast range must fill up the interval to the Pacific. All the iron must be carried from the Mississippi terminus; and the road must be finished as it goes on, not only for the required transportation of timber and iron, but for the purpose of supplying the workmen with the means of subsistence from day to day. Such is the formidable character of this work, of the prime cost of which a hundred millions is a narrow estimate. We apprehend that no- thing short of the combined resources of the government, and the most powerful association of private experience and enterprise, can ever do the job. The plan of the New York com- pany, in this view, is the best that has yet been presented; and till some better plan is devised, we trust it will be pushed forward as the best adapted for the practical success of the grand desideratum—a continuous road of iron from the shores of the stormy Atlantic to the golden borders of the illimitable Pacific. This great work is the grandest and noblest project of the age; and while Congress is discussing abstrac- tions, why should not our Legislature, in some measure of practical bearing, lead the way to action? It is the duty of New York to lead the way. for this mighty enterprise is but the ex- tension of our chain of State roads to the Pacific ocean. But don’t mix it up with the telegraph. Give us the electric line now, and independent- ly of any other echeme. String the wires over the prairies and then lay the iron rail through the South Pass. En avant! British CoLontAL OrGanrzation or Hov- pcuRas—More Evipence.—The letter which we recently published from our correspondent at San Juan de Nicaragua, conveying the rather surprising information of the establishment of a British colony in that portion of Central Ame- rica adjoining the peninsula of Yucatan, and commonly known as British Honduras, is in a fair way of being entirely confirmed. The brig Loretto, Captain Guides from the Belize, the 7th of January, arrived at this port several days ago, and, according to the in- formation kindly furnished us by Captain G., the late logwood cutting district of British Honduras has been promoted to the bona Jide dignities of a British colony. Somewhere about Christmas, a British constitution was brought over by the Jamaica packet, and was to be submitted for the ratification of fie people on the 12th of January; so that by the next arrival from San Juan we may expect the official evidence of the full establish- ment of the colony of Honduras. Our inform- ant says that, under a property qualification of two hundred and fifty dollars, there are perhaps some five thousand voters in British Honduras; and these people, regarding themselves as under the exclusive protection of England, will doubt- less most readily avail themselves of the more positive guaranties of a regular colony. Mr. Mason, Chairman on Foreign Relations of the United States Senate, has said that if this thing has been done, there will be a substantial provocation before us for the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine. We apprehend that Mr. Mason, and all concerned, will very soon have all their doubta remaved upon the subject, by the official documentary proofs. Of course, the Senate, short of the official vouchers, would not presume to act in the premises; but we admo- nish them in time, that having taken their posi- tion upon this question at 54.40, the country is not prepared for a letting down to the lati- tude of 49. Ifthe Monroe doctrine means any- thing, it means the non-intervention of foreign powers in the domestic affairs of the indepen- dent States of this continent; and if the first article of the Clayton and Bulwer treaty has any meaning at all, it distinetly forbids the colonization, or occupation, or usurpation, of “any part of Central America” by Great Bri- tain. As we understand it, the Senate of the United States has taken this position, and oc- cupies this identical ground to-day. Shall the country suffer the humiliation of a backing out to-morrow? We trust not. Se.xine orF at Cost.—Notwithstanding the Tribune establishment deluged the country during the late campaign with its pictorial pamphlets of Gen. Scott's military exploits, they advertise that they have stilla “few more left of the same sort,” which they generously offer to sell at cost. We suspect they would also dispose of the materials and fixtures of the late campaign paper called ‘The Irishman,” on the same terms, They are done with blood and carnage, and have no farther use for “the brogue” just now. We presume, too, that the Hungarian bonds, or the certificates of the Irish Directory, will be taken in payment for the articles aforesaid, and that the net pro- ceeds will be devoted to the great cause of the Maine Liquor law; or, peradventure, to the re- lief of the twenty-six lunatics in the Ohio asy- lum, and the sixty in the Utica asylum—the victims of spiritual manifestations. Our philo- sophers must take care of their disciples, Cuaxck ror AMERICAN SuHIPBUILDERS—We perceive by the intelligence from Europe, brought by the Canada, that Louis Napoleon had made a contract with Napier, the celebrated Scotch shipbuilder, to construct him a fleet of eighteen frigates, to add to the naval power of France, but which contract was cancelled by the British government. If Louis Napoleon wants any ships built, let him send the order to that effect along this way. We have plenty of ship yards, and shipbuilders of the first class in this city. who would be happy to accommodate his Majesty. We will guarantee they would produce in six months as many ships of war as he wants, cheaper, stronger, better finished, and faster sailers than he can procure in any other part of the werld. Or, if he prefers it, we will build them of unlimited length, and he can chop them off to suit himself. New York ship- builders send your specifications along. Tne Capinet Qvestiox.—Our article, the other day, upon the cabinet, we regret to learn, has created something of a sensation among “the old fogies,” and a good many other aspi- rants for the cabinet and the fat offices. If we taistake not, there is a wonderful surprise in store for the ‘old fogies.” ‘Bat even Napoleon was compelled to abdicate! Sach are the for- tunes of war. Common Souxcn—Tue Avpeeuen Deciansp 1! Be uw | Cowremrr—The motion for attachment against |’ Alderman Sturtevant. and his associates of the Common Council of New York, for violating an injunction issued by the Superior Court, to re- strain the Boards from leasing Broadway for a railroad track. was decided by Judge Duer yes- terday, who declaréd the Alderman to be in contempt, and ordered him to be held to bail in the sum of $500. The decision of Judge Duer was assented to by Judges Campbell. Bosworth, and Emmet. Alderman Sturtevant will put in answers to interrogatories, which may or may not tend to purge him from the contempt with which he is charged ; and the motions against his associates, for the same offence, remain in abeyance until his case is finally disposed of. The Judge, in the course of his elaborate opinion, commented with some severity on the course adopted by the Common Council of New York in violating the order of the Court, and concluded by vindicating Judge Campbell from the attack made upon that functionary by the resolution of the Board of Aldermen. Judge Duer remarked that it was quite certain that the spirit of that resolution, and especially the indecency and injustice of the attack upon Mr. Justice Campbell, would justify a very severe punishment; but for the present he would content himself with citing the language of Judge Mason, who said :— We live under a government of laws. It is one of the peculiar felicities of our condition that the moral sense of the community is strongly upon the side of obedience to the law. It isthe peculiar duty of those who profess, and, I will add, all who are concerned in the administretion of justice and the execution of the law—it is especially their duty to elevate and strengthen the spirit of obedience to judicial au- thority, and it is matter of deep regret when any of those whose province it is to aid in any manner in the administration of justice, by their own example encourage a disregard of the decisions of its courts or any of ita judges. The opinion of Judge Duer, which is consi- dered one of the most important documents which have emanated from the bench of this city for some time, will be published in full in to-morrow’s Heratp. The Common Council of New York—the law-makers and law-breakers of our city—are in a very awkard position, and will have to cry peccavi for their offence against the laws of the State and the constitution of the country. Is there a good time coming? Smoke, smoke, smoke. Cupa.—The trouble between the British eruizers and the Spanish Queen-mother’s slave ships, and officials of Cuba, seems to be increas- ing. In connection with certain late proceed- ings of the British Captain Hamilton, to arrest the slave traffic, a letter to one of our evening cotemporaries says:— “By the way, an event has recently happened here which will probably lead to serious consequences. It seems that two of the slavers recently captured by Capt. Hamilton, have been condemned. e third, a brig, while in ion of the prize-crew, was suddenly and forcibly taken from them by a perig. of Spanish soldiers, one morning recently, before day- break, and before resistance could be made. The English captain (Hamilton) prepared for immediate re-capture, and manned, his ts for that purpose, but English Consul interfered, and advised waiting instructions from home. ‘Thus the matter remains, while, it is said, the soldiers are busy in effacing the evidence which would condemn her as & slaver. It is believed the Queen-mother is the owner of the brig, and hence this bold measure of the Captain-General. Meanwhile, much ill-feeling is manifested by the officials towards the English resi- dents.’ These transactions are but the beginning of the ending. We shall have no war with Eng- land to prevent the acquisition of Cuba. The slave trade is a very decided hit on our side of the question. Tae Fisnery Quvuestion.—The Washington organs seem to be considerably in the fog in reference to the negotiations between Messrs. Everett and Crampton on the fishery question. Have those wise diplomatists thought it best to reconsider the treaty ratified in England, or what is the matter? From the present com- plexion of the case, we very much fear it will end in smoke. Rexorep Destrvcnon or 4 Brrmisn Sap or WAR, AND ‘Loss or Four Huxprep Lives.—A report has been circu- lated that the British screw ship of the line Highflyer, had been blown up, near Jamaica, with the loss of four hundred lives. The rumor is stated to be founded on a letter from Havana of the 29th ult. It is, undoubtedly, a mistake, as a communication from our correspondent at Jamaica, dated the 29th, mentions nothing of the kind. Marine Affairs. ‘Tae SreausmP Jas.

The bark, when spoken, was making for Key West. The Spanish brig Napowox, bound from Nassau to Charleston, was suddenly sunk at sea a few days since. ‘The crew were saved by taking to the boats of the vessel, and arrived at this port to-day.

There was a feeling of depression among stock speculators in Wall street this morning, upon the opening of the market. At the first board the sales were large, but prices fell off from the commence- ment t6 the close. Morris Canal declined 3 per cent; Crystal Palace 4; Florence and Keyport 4; Nicara- gua Transit 3; Cumberland 4; Harlem 3; Portsmouth 4; Erie Railroad 3; Hudson River Railroad 2j- Long Island advanced } per cent. At the second board Nicaragua Transit advanced 3 per cent; Cum- berland 4; Hudson River Railroad 13. Phenix Com- pany declined 3 per cent; Potomac Copper Company 2. A moderate business in railroad bonds was trans- acted at both boards, without change in prices. It appears to us that the three most prominent railroad stocks--Erie, Hudson, and Harlem—have about touched bottom. Either is a goed purchase at pre. sent prices, and, before the lapse of many months, large profits will be made on present purchases. The receipts at the officeof the Assistant Treasurer of this port to-day, amounted to $92,616 54; pay- ments, $119,558 38—balance, $3,862,546 80. From the fifth annual report of the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad Company, we learn that the gross earnings of the company for the six months ending December 31, were $194,429 37, and the expendi- ures $71,122 69—leaving for net earnings $123,306 68. In June last a dividend of 8 per cent, payable in stock, was made on earnings prior to the first of January, 1852, and a dividend of 6} per cent, also payable in stock, on the earnings for the six months ending July Ist, 1852. A farther dividend of 6 per cent in cash has now been declared. The road ex- tends from Cleveland to Wellsville, and cost $2,963,- 756. Surveys of the Wheeling, Beaver, and Tusca- rawas extensions have been made. The stock of the Rochester and Erie Railroad has all been subscribed, with the exception of twenty thousand dollars, and the engineers are now locating the route. The line will pass through East Henrietta and Sibleyville, and connect with the Canandaigua and Niagara Falls road a mile east of Honeoye Falls, and then pursues the track of that road to the village of Honeoye. The proposition to lease the road to the Canandaigua and Niagara Falls Company, at eight per cent on the cost, for a term of years, has been accepted. From the annual report of the Union Canal Com- pany of Pennsylvania, it appears that in 1853 the total tonnage was 152,143 tons. The revenue de- rived from the canal during the year amounted Ordinary expenses ot canal 969,340" 25° HT Dividends cn preferred stock 31,488 54 Old dividends called for.... 15 50—$83,753 29 Thus showing the business of the year yielded suf- ficient revenue to meet ordinary expenses, pay divi- dends on preferred stock, and leave a surplus of $874 50.
