Interesting from Washington. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. GOVERNOR GORMAN IN DIFFICULTY—THE PRESIDENT'S VIEWS OF THE PACIFIO RAILROAD, AND INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS GENERALLY—JUDGE DOUGLAS— AFFAIRS IN MEXICO—THE TOBACCO MONOPOLY— REASONS FOR WAR—OUR CONSULS IN THE DUTCIL DEPENDENCIES—CAPTAIN GI3SON’S CASE, ETO., ETC. Waantxatoy, Nov. 19, 1853. €overnor Gorman, of Minnesota, bas got himself into trouble, it is said, with the President, in eonsequence of his singular speeches in the territory, and hia conduct generally out there. It is very probeble he will be sus- pended before long. A stotement has appeared, to the effect that the Presl- dent intends to come cut in favor of Senator Dapglas’s plan for # Pacific railroad. It is, however, unfounded in fact. I}earn from an indisputable source, that, at the Present time, it has been determined to postpone any specific remarks with reference to the Pacific railroad project, of any kind, until the reports of ths several U. S. surveying parties are received, probably in January. Meantime, the mosrage vill take distinc’ ground against any system of internal improvement by the general government, which conflicts with the strictest kind of strict construction doctrine, and this ex- cludes pretty conslusively all the pacifie schemes yet pre- sented. En passant, Judge Douglas has been especially particular not to sav a word about the administration, yroor con, since his return; avowing that his time was so cccupied whilst he was travelling that he had no oppor- tunity of keeping posted in home affairs, Letters have been received here fren highly respectable persons in Mexico, to the effect that Don Manuel Escan- don, the wealthiest man in Mexico, worth some thirty millions of dollars, with an unlimited credit with the English house of Bariog Brothers, haa formed a close alliance with Santa Anna, and pledged him all the influence of his name in sustainirg his Kuropean credit, In return for this, Santa Anna has given him the entire moropoly of the tobacco manufacture, This is regarded here by distinguished men fami- liar with Mexican affairs, as a very significant and important fact, and which may probably yet aifect our relations with that country. It is believed that Santa Anna’s mind is set upon a re-opening of dificultles with the Uxited States, and nothing but the want of means has prevented arupture ere this. In support of this view, it is only necessary to glance at his conduct since his re- turn. Itappears he has at length succeeded in estab- lishing an European credit, and high officers of this go- vertment are now prepared to hear by every mail that he has thrown off the mask and commenced hostili The rumor which reached hero ina letter from a Uaited States quartermaster, stating that Don Luis Do la Rosas had been shot, is not ocniitmed by any othor advices, even of subsequent date from the same region. The ru mor i discredited here. The attention of the government has been called to the necessity of having our consular agents recognised in the Dutch dependencies in the East. It has been the subject of Cabinet discussion, and, it is understood, will be specially noticed in the message. Additional do- spatehes by the Arabia have been received from the Hague. The Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs, it ap- pears, declines to enter into any correspondence with Mr. Belmont ax to the treatment of Capt. Gibson, but, in verbal conversations, the Minister expresses bis wil- lingness to make any pecuniary recompense which may be deemed reasonable. The course is adopted with a view of preventing our inquiries into the value of their monopolies in the Kart, which are guarded, in regular Japanese style, from the prying eyes of other nations, especialy the United States, Mr. Belmont regards this shuflling ae disrespectful to his country, and has writ- ten home for iastructions, Captain Gibson Is still urging upon Mr. Marsy’s attece tion the case of his mate, which we alluded to some time ago. Captain Gidscn contends that the man’s name being on the ship's papers, he is entitled to the protec- tion of its flag. The mate's care seemy cortainly mach etronger than that of Koszta. But it is feared Mr. Marcy has already exhausted all bis patriotism and arguments in the case of the Murgarian, and is not disposed to rescue the poer nate from the Batavia prison, Koszte earrios with him, to be sure, the red republican vote, whi’st the mate, being a Seotchmas, can’t brag of much in that Une, unless a vote of thanks could be drummed up from the St. Andrew’s Society. ASMODEU3. SECRETARY DOSBIN PROPOSES TO INCREASE THE NAVY — SALUTARY REFORMS—STEAMSHIP FAILURE, ETC. Wasiuxarox, Nov. 19 1853, Secretary Dobbin xot only proposes to strengthen the navy by some additional steam vessels, but is resolved if possible that there shall be no more such abortions as the Allegbany, Water Witch, Vixen, and o'hers. With this view, a searching examination is in progress by a compe tent com missien into all the details of the bu ldivg, and expecially the machinery, of all the miserable steamship failures that have been palmed off upon the government, 1 believe the total cost of the Alleghany has been nearly 4 million; and the investigation will doubtless show a corresponding margin for retrenchment and reform ia most every steamer built for the service. The report from the Navy Department will be @ valuable document. JACK. MORE NATIONAL DEMOBRATIC OF FICRHOLDERS TO BE VICTIMIZED—ARRBIVAL OF CONGRESSMEN, ETC. FROM THE NEWSPAPER AGENT.

Splendid Present from the Catholics of Cali« fornia to Rev. Dr. Newman. THE JESUITS IN OREGON—REV. DR. ACCOLTI. Among the distinguished strangers at present staying in our city,is Rev. M. L. Accolti,Superior of the Soutety of Jesus, in Oregon. This gentleman is on his way to London, with a magnificent present from the Catholics of California to the Very Reverend Dr. Newman, whose conversion to the Catholic religion some years ago, and recert trial with Dr. achilli, have brought him so prominently befure the world. The Rey. Mr. Accolti left California in September last, and will sail for Liverpoot by the steamer of the 26th. The presentisa plain gold ring of massive size; and instead cf a seal bears upon its face a large lump of thé pure virgin metal, as it was foupd in the mines. This lump was considered peculiarly appro- priste for the purpore to which it has been put, from the close resemblance it bears to a heart, and is intended to symbolize the inseparable communion which exists between the Catholics of even the most distant lands. The weight of the ring is eighteen ounces, and its value, if such a present can be esti- mated by its pecuniary worth, is between three aud four hundred dollars. On the sides of the ring, and on the cover of the beautiful morocco case in which itis encloced, is the following inscription :— PORE NG RMSE SAMO ROI O'ROO SO ©, ° Reverznpo Av’. Docrorr 6 ° ° ° J. H. Newman, 0 o oO ° Vero Fiver Deransort, ° ° o ° Carnonicr CALIFoORNIAZ. ° o ° ° D. D. De 0) ° o 220000000000090090090009090 Which, when translated, reads thus :— “To the Very Rev. Dr. J. H. Newman, true de‘en- der of the Faith_the Catholics of California, give, dedicate and present.” The Rev. Mr. Accolti, as we have before stated, is a Jesuit, and was sent out about ten years ago to the Mission in Oregon, by the Society ofthe Propaganda, at Rome. He isa man of no ordinary talents, and possesses @ thorough practical knowledge of the world, with a great fund of information about the character, climate, natural resources and histo~ ry of Oregon. Of its fertility and climate he speaks in the highest terms; and he is of the opinion that in the course of a few years it willequal, if it does not exceed Califorsia in importance. Puget’s Sound, which lies at the southern extremity of Vancouver's island, and near the boundary line of the Hudson Bay Company's possessions, has the finest harbor on the Pacific coast. Itisevidentfrom the fact that the only good harbor on the coast be- sides these is San Francisco, that Puget’s Sound must eventually become of vast importance to the commercial interests of this. country. Already Oregon supplies California with a large proportion of her agricaltural products, and great quantities of lumber are shipped from Portland, the principal city, to San Francisco, Portland hasa population of about six thousand, was settled seven years ago,ard has rapidly increased in size since the discovery of gold in California. It has a mayor and common council, both of which are elected yearly, and although it has as yet no public schools, we are sssered that the private achools are well attended. The legislature transacts its business in Sa- lem, a town of about half the population of Portland, from which it is between sixty and seventy miles distant. For location and beauty of scenery it ex- cels every other town in the territory. Oregon City, though containing a population of not more than four hundred persons, is, from its central lovation, a town of considerable importance. The principal part of its inhabitants is composed of merchants, who purchase grain, potatoes, aud other agricultural products from the furmers of the surrounding couo- try, for the California markets. On the other side of the river Willamette, ani immediately opposite to Oregon, is Lynn, which, though it contains only a few scattered houses, is dignified with the title of city, There is water power here eufliicient to tarn a hondred mills, and some idea may be formed of iis present value from the fact that Mr. Moore, who is owner of six hundred and forty acres, extending along the river, sold his water privileges for $60,000 last year, to the Ferguson company. This company has already constructed a mill for sawing timer, and is now carrying on an extensive lumber business, The climate and soil of Oregon are unsurpassed perhaps by any country in the world. It is capable of producing nearly, all the fruits of the tropics, and two or three crops of grain can. be raised from the same stubble. The second crop is generally superior to the first, and the landis 8» exceedingly fertile that instances have been known of farmers raiing arbeat cff th@ same field for twelve years, without the aid of macure. The valley, extending frcm the southern Lelie ofthe Washiagton ter- ritory to the forty-second degree of latitude, and bounded on the east y the Cascade Mountains, and on the west by the Pacific, iscapable of supporting a pepulation of four or five millions. The winter there is as mild as in the Sandwich Islands, and the raipy season does not last longer than a fortnight or three weeks at the utmost, during which time a por- tion of the valley is flooded by the melting of the snows on the Cascade Mountains. It might nata- rally be supposed that the induzemeits which such a Jand bolds out to farmers would cause a large emi- gration to it. Thousands of the agricultural popula- tion of Ohio, Wisconsin, and Illinois, have sold out | their farma during the past three or four years, and settled in this valley. Every settler is entitled to one hundred and sixty acres, or a quarter of a section of land, after an occupancy of four ears, during which time he must have improved it, in compliance with the requirements of the law. The first eettlers were French Canadians, who were for- meily the servants of the Hudson Bay Company. They now own a very fertile piece of land, situated between Oregon city and Salem, and watered by the Willamette, Mollale and Pudding rivers. Their claim extends over one hundred thousand acres, or ten townships, each township containing sixteen sections, or over six thousand a:res. Among the earliest settlers in Oregon were the Jesuits, who appear to Mave been the first to discover the great natural resowrces et that territory. They are a body of men who, ao matter what may be said of their character,bave deen rarely, if ever, supassed for indomitable perseverance and practice] know- ledge of men and things. Wherever they go, unless interfered with by the State, they generally rise iato influence and rer, and are never slow in perceiv- ing anything that may be tarned to the advanta; of the Church, of which they have ever been tl most devoted and most faithful servants. They possess talents of the highest class, for none are per- mitted to enter the Order until after a complete course of study, and even then toy when the appli: cant has @ most rigid examination. In addi- tion to this many of them learn different trades, such as shoemak ng. boa &c. Rev. Mr. Accolti, who, we have already said, is Superior of the Order in Oregon, has been appointed to that office doubt- less on account of his intimate knowledge of the world. He hasnctthe bearing or the address of a secular priest; he is a diplomatist of no ordinary acuteness and perception, and speaks of the future destiny of Oregon and California, with a tone and manner which shows that he is a close observer of the events of the day. This is the gentleman who has been entrusted with the apace of the magnificent gift of the Calit Catholics to Rev. Dr. Newman. He also bears a letter from the ake) of that State to the same divire, expressing the hig] esteem which they entertain for his talents and character, Rey. Mr. Accolti, after he has fulfilled his mission to London, will visit Paris and Rome, at which latter city he will doubtless give the Society of the Pr anda the most minute information re specting the character and condition of Oregon. ch are the men which that Society appoints as Su- periors of the Order.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. The progress of Canada compared with that of our ad- jacent States, may be seen by inspecting tha following table showing the advance of the population in the two countries since tie yeur 1820:— 183 1540. 512,85 1850.

Such, according to the anove, is tie “comparative position in regard to population in the two ccun- tries—Canada and the United States—and the dedac- tions of Mr. De Bow from these premises. If true, it is lamentable ; if untrue, what are we to think of the author of the comparison and deductions? De Bow now occupies a high. position, being no less than Superintendent of the Census Bureau ; snd hence we might expect that he would not pervert his figures, “which cannot lie.’ But let us refer to official returns on the positions he has given to the countries represented. Neither in 1830, 1840, nor 1850 were censuses taken in Canada; they weretaken in Lower Canada in 1931 and 1851, and there were also estimates made of the population of that province in 1844 aud 1848, and in Upper Canada in 1830, 1841 and 1851. The results of these censuses were as follow:— 1830-31, Upper Canada, Lower Canada. 1,844,205 —The latter sum, an aggregate of 1,270,070 more than shown by De Bow’s table. The figures referring tothe States with which he compares Canada are not far from a correspondence with the official re turns. Having exhibited the delinquency in refer- ence to Canada, and having accepted the statistics referring to the American States, let us examin® their relative bearing, and it will be seen that ineach decade the movements were as follow:— Increase )830-19. Tnerease 184 Cannda.. 433,736 or 600 per ect. 686,170 0r 50.3 N. York. 515, r 269 per ct, 663, Michigan 180 628 or 670.9 per ct. 185, Winc’nsn (populatio: 474.246 or 886.9 per ct. Towa.,.. (population 43,112) 149,102 or 348.7 par ct. And thus it will be seen that Canada has, in all the pericd of comparison, increased more rapidly than any of the American States except New York, feom 1830 to 1840, and that in both decades the ratio of increase in Canada has infinitely surpassed that of New York. In the decade ending with the last cen- sus, Canada increased 686,170, and New York—the great gua in the comparizon—only 603,473. So much for the deductions of De Bow and his “ heavy car of monarchy.” Let it be known to De Bow, that in Upper Canada the population has more than doubled in the last ten years, and that in Lover Canada it has increased nearly 200,000. In Upper Canada they are “men of the same Anglo-Saxon stock,” and in Lower Cavada such as they bave in New Orleans, where his Review is published. And, fitally, let us present De Bow with the fol- lowing table, which exhibits the proportion ot each in per capita, grown iu Causda*aud the United aie in the year represented py the last census of each :— Lower United Canats.

Cheesman, a cartman, aged thirty- four years, a native of New York, who came to his €eath under the following remarkable circumstances. It seems that the deceased was driving his horse and cart on the pier foot of Pine street, on the 3d instant, when a hawser, which was stretcued across the pier from the ship American-Eagle, struck him a violent blow on the nose and face, causing a severe injury, which eventually produced erysipelas, and caused Geath on ay last. The jury on the facts in the case. rendered the following verdict: — “That deceased came to his death by erysipelas of the face, caused by injuries received by being strack across the nore by a hawser drawn from the ship American Eagle to a brig on the opposite side of the picr, foot of Pine street, on the 3d day of November, 1853. The jury censure the owners of said ship Americin Esgle, for the care'ess and unlawful man- ner in which sai¢ hawser was drawn across the pier.” Dear or AN Unknown Man by DaowninG.— Yesterday Coroner Gamble held an inquest at pier 12 North river, on the body of an unknown man, found dead floating in the river. The deceased ap- peared to be about thirty years of age, five feet ten inches in heigtt, long brown hair, no whiskers; he was dressed in a blue pilotcloth monkey jacket, bone buttons, plaid lining, and a black figured silk vest, plaid neck cravat, and glazed cap. Dr. Uhl made an external examination, and ine his opinion that deceaged came to his death by drowning. Great Saasn-vP THE CLEVELAND AND To- LepO Raitxoap.—Yesterday a freight train for the west upon this road met with a seriovs accident near Oberlin, the result, as nearly a8 we can learn, of carelessness upon the part cf the engineer. The train consisted of the en gite and one locomotive, which was being carried over the road and of thirteen cars. Horses and mules had been upon the treck ahead of the engine, for a mile or two, and rotwithstanding this, the train was running upon a down grade at the rate of forty miles an hour, At length one herseand three mules ran upon a bridge, slip; ed between the tis, were struct by the ergine and eut into mince- meat.

Dr. Doremus delivered the second lecture of tis eourse upon the History of Creation, at the New York Medical College, Thirteenth street, last evening The theatre of the college was well filled. The lec- turer proceeded to eliminate his theory of the crea- tion, which is founded upon well known. chemical and philosophical facts. His subject was the pro- bable manner in which light and heat were first evolved. He proceeded to give an explanation of the various natural gazes, and to ehow that they Ul entered int> the composition of atmospheric air. By the expansion and compression of air heat was pro- duced, and this was illustrated by acteal experiment A piston tipped with inflammable substance was introduced into a cylinder,and by compression of the air in the cylinder beat was preduced—the sub- stance was ignited. This qas the discovery of a French soldier, made when experiments were going on to find seme substance to take the place cf nitre in the manufactare of gunpowder. None of the gases, he said, show to a greater extent this property—the evolving of light and heat —better than oxygen, which gas enters into the production of everything on the earthor underneath it. The crust of the earth in. an oxydiged mass The lecturer alluded to the invention of the oxygen blow-pipe, and stated that experiments with it were sometimes dangerous, but that he had arranged an apparatus which would be sufficient for iiustration, without any danger. He introduced pomied antimony into a jar filled with oxygen, when Meat and light were enftted. Metals poured into the atmosphere in @ molten state would at once take fire. If we in- troduce a coal into a jar of oxygea, it becomes a light at once. [Illustrated by a very successful ex- pempente| Wires panes with sulphur, introduced into oxygen give out light. [Also Ulastrated.] It is a known chemical fact that material budies con- fined with oxygen emit heat in proportion te the amount of oxygen cont in them, One pound of bydrogen united with the same amount of oxygen would rajse 232 lbs. of water to 212 Fabr- enheit. The union of oxygen and drogen oro- duces great heat, but little light. Dr. Hare, of Phi- ladelphia, demonstrated that if an equal amount of these gases were allowed to escape from oue jet, the heat would be greater than ever was Known. It ia singular that if we take these gases in the same pro- portions as they are found in water the heat evolved is the greatest. Platina, iron, or other meta!s intro- duced into these gases, are not only fased but burned up, If we take this fact along with the fact that these propoytions goto make up the ocean, the ice, ihe snow, we may have some idea of the immense amount used when these gases first came together! Platina was first fused by the unioa of these gases ag they unite to form water. Dr. Hare, of Philadelphia, fosed 32 ounces at one expegiment. The lecturer here experimented upon oo metals to show tha power of oxygen and bydroge® gases wheu uuited, when intense heat and light were emitted; solid substances, such as rtoica and magnesia were introduced, and a lights equal to that discovered by Liewterant Drummond was produced. The ex- periments were very successful, and the resuit was very beautiful. These metals may be evolved back into a liquid and gaseous state. The lecturer said that he had experimented sufficiently to show that the vital principle of the earth and all therein was oxygen gas—that the whole world was a mass of oxydized_ matter. The combination of the gases produces beat and light, and the reverse of this pro- duce the reverse result. If water be voureda upon sulphurous acid at a ceriain temperature, the water will copgeal, ard we have sometimes produced snow. We claim thit we have elacidated th’s fact, that the earth was once fluid—once gaseous. We do net ciaim this as a new discovery. La Place and Her- schel came to the same conslusion, by the discovery of light masses in the heivens—or nebule—these pasred into myriads of little suns, and then formed p anetary systems with their sat ‘he condi- tion of the earth wa3 probably similar—like tuem it passed from the fluid to the gaseous state, and the; to the sold. As far as the planetary system goes, it has been stated that ttis theory falls to the ground, as the nebule sometimes resolve and disperse but that bas po effect on our theory, which has a different fourdation. We have reason to say that the earth was originally, chemically speaking, a fluid, end on this hypothesis all the ploaets must have been Jiguid gas. ‘Lhe elements combined and made the earth, wiich was origivally wichout form and void. Light was evolved from existing ele- ments, notcreated. It was evolved by the comprea- i ses, The command, ssexpressed in Gen- esis, is ‘Let there be light, and there was light.’ The lecturer then proceeded to his experiment with sulphurour acid and water. A vessel was heated to a red heut, the acid was then poured in, water was added, and by a dexterous turn of the vessela snow- flake was thrown out. This experiment concluded the lecture, which was very isteresting, but which can hardly be understood without actually seeing the experiments . Superior Court—Part Second. Before Hon. Judge Duer and a Jury. Nov. 18.— Michael Lacour, agavnst the Mayor, Aldamen and Commonalty of the City of New York—The plaintiff in this action is the owner and. occupant of premises on the southwest corner of Se- cond avenue and Thirtieth street, carrying on the business of manufacturing matches, and alleges that the defendants wrongfully and unlawfully excavated eertain premises adjoining the plaintiff's, to such an extent thet stagnant water accumulated and over- flowed the plautiff’s premises at every rain or storm, rendering the place unhealthy, and the walls of the att buildings unsafe and dangerous ; wherefore e plaintiff claims damages against the 4 for $10,- 000. For the defence, it was corftende by . Riggs that by virtue of the authority vested in the defendants, they did, by an ordinance 1d Decem- ber Ist, 1849, direct and ordain that jeth street be opened and regulated from Second avenue to Third avenue, and executed a contract with one Terence Keon for the performance of the said work, who completed the same with all proper care ond skill. The defendants also alleged, that by an ordi- nance d Sept. 20th, 1°50, they directed that Second avenue, so far as the same was opened by law, be regulated and graded in conformity with the amended Bone of said avenue, and thatthe then ex- isting je and gutter stones be reset and relaid, under the direction of the Street Commissioner, an executed a contract with one Daniel Gallagher for the performance of the same ; and further, that ifany ope was liable for the alleged injuries there- from, it was the contractors, aud not the defendants. The Court and Jury visited the aie —— the trial, and the cause was summed up by ci for both sides on their return.
