The Isthmas of Panama, one of the most impor- tant geographical positions in the world, is the seat of five small States which, since their separation from Spain have Leen subjected to every vicissitude of revolutionary anarchy. At first they formed one federal republic, with constitutions modelled after that of the United State. of America; but in the year 1839 the confeders!ion was dissolved, and since that period Hondurs=. Sin Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and New G:anada have existed as sepa- rate and independaui States. Constant differences and wars have, however, prevailed amongst this fa- mily of republics, and as @ necessary consequence the progress of domestic improvement has been ar- rested, trade has languished, and tho creole and native inhabitants of Central America can scarcely be said to have derived any appreciable “ advantages from the enjoyment al freedom and independence. But since the discovery of gold in California the poople of the United States, who in every sense are anxious to thead a “royal road” to wealth, have turned from the long sea voyage of twenty-one thousand miles round Cape Horn, and in multitades have flocked across the isthmus to obtain the shortest and readi- est access to the new El Dorado. First, through their agency the Panama Railroad was constructed, which how conveys three thousand passengers per month from ocean to ocean, although the line passes through | & most unhealthy country, and the authorites of the State are totally unable to preserve peace and quiet amongst the Indian population, or amongst the hordes of armed adventurers who avail themselves of the fa- cilities afforded by thie route, Other plans have been proposed for the formation of a ship canal more to the north, from Port Caballoe to the Bay of Fonseca, Aud we believe that at the present tine an Angi can company has commcneed the great work of 4 direct and convenient water communica- ween the Atlantic and the Pacige.

For this porpose the Bulwer-Clayton Convention was a few years ogo concluded; but as the contracting parties — Cireat Britain and the United States—have hitherto Jailed in putting a harmonious construction upon its provisions further negotiations are now about to be commenced iy Sir W.

We have to announce the premature death of this la- mented princess, whose accouchement took place at Clare. mont, London, on the 28th ult. Her Royal Highness had gone on favorably for some days, and the attack under which the princess sunk was as sudden as it was unex- pected. The Duke de Nemours, and the whole of the members of the exiled royal family, are planged in the deepest grief by the visitation. Intelligence of the sad event was forwarded by express to Windsor Castle at an early hour on the afternoon of 10th inst., and the Prince Consort immediately proceedde to Claremont to pay a visit of condolence. The Duchess de Nemours was a daughter of the Grand Duke Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and was con- sequently cousin of her Majesty and the Prince Consort of England. Her Royal Higiness was born in 1822, and married in 1840 the Duke de Nemours, by whom she has had four children—the Count d’Bu, the Due 4’Alencon, the Princess Marguerite, and after ‘an interval of eleven years, the infant whose birth has preceded by only a few days the untimely decease of its illustrious mother, THE VERY LATEST.

New Yous, Nov, 20, 1857, Copied in the Henan of this morning is an articly from the Boston Traveller, purporting to have heen written by ite eagacious New York correspondent, who seems impa ‘ent to enlighten the unpretending people of that out-of. the way town called Boston, on the «ystem of “book pub. lishing in New York.”’ In reference tothe recently pred resolution of the ‘Booksellers’ Association,” restricting their credits to foar months, this well informed corres pondent says:— Besides the usual reasons given for this aetion—that the term of credita has been too long—the book publishers, with good couse, urge that they areJoss able to give long credits than almost any other class of merchant*.

Ita incorrectness, however, ie admirably in keeping with most of the news manufactured by these New York cofrespondenta for such old fashioned nowspapers ag aro published in Boston. That our publishers are @ strictly pious and very worthy class of mon, no writer of sense will for a moment question. Yet, being a sharp gentleman, you must know, Mr. Editor, that no other class of merchants have a legal right to steal their stock jn trade. I am not prepared to say how far the inclinations of “ other classes of mor. chants’ might lead them to adopt a similar custom, pro- vided they had the legal right; but traly, Iean aver of my own Knowledgé, that publishers, no matter how prous, cannot plead a want of energy in availing themselves of the legal right to steal the foreign portion of their wares. As for the * labor that must be for before the book {i iseued,” the writer is sadly at fault. Paper, printing, ste reotyping—indeed, all that appertains to the getting up of a book—the publisher gets at six, and sometimes cight months credit. If of doubtful standing, of course he can- not obtain these credits. Further, the publisher compels even the author to wait four and six months from fhe | of publication, for an account of sales, which, when ren: | dered, he pays whatever balance may be due, in notes at | four and six months.

Yankee Slaw Traders—Bark Vestal of Boston, and ano- her American Bari: Captured, supposed to ve the Petret —New England Capi'al in the Trade—Arvival of Chinese —Improper Course of a New York Steamship Company towards its Passengers, de., de, For the particular information of the abolitionists of New England, I have a few itoms of interest, and I bog their attention to ascertain how many.of their profes- sion are “interested in the actual property» which they have, or their neighbors, put into the African slave trader We have now captured and have as prizes in'this port, four slavers, of which three were certainly built by capital de- rived from Boston and Portland folks. These ve ere built and owned for some years in Maine and Massachusetts, end when captured Eastern people were on board of them as oflicers and part of the crew, The fourth vessel was. probably owned by parties in Massachusetts, New York and Maine, and was sold with knowledge that she was intended for the slave trade. On the 3istof October the Spanish war steamer General Lezo brought into this port the American bark Vestal of Boston, captured near Remedios, and having on board No Africans. The officers and crew, it is said, were per- mitted t desert. The mate of this vessel, hailing from Maine, is at present in this city, but probably will arrive in New York by this steamer. The Spanish war steam- er Colon, captured and brought into port on the 7th inst, an American bark, found near Sagua le Grande, having on board 460 Africans, candidates for Spanish hristianity and freedom, aided’ and abetted by Yankee zation and Yankee wealth. It is said that the officers of this vessel are native born citizens of the ate. the officers from the State of Maine, aud some of the sailors from that and other States of New England—vessel’s nae eee to be the Petrel. It is a fact that whenever we find a siavor having maade voyage, successfully or not, and the officers are known, they invariably belong to Now Engiand, and most of them to Maine and “Massachusetts, It is not possible that this trade, conducted as it is with a large part of the active basis in capital invested in New Eugland, should not inure to the benefit of some of the abolition brethren. When the vessels of the shipowners of Mainc and Massa- chussets come to Cuban ports their masters have instruc- tions aT an voasels, under which many sales have becn made. some one of the officers of the vessels sold generally go as the American captain of her to the Coast, the business for which the vessels are required being well understood. We have also another cargo ofsfree slaves from the Ce- lestials, by the Peruvian bark Tonito Torices, Periti, mas- ter, consigned to Torrices, Puentes & Co., arrived ou the 7th from Macao and Cape of Good Hope with 169 Asi- atics. Ninety-five died on the voyage for want of stimu. lants or air. ‘A gross ovtrage is being committed here, and the doers of the wrong should be hunted up with the whip of justice, if such a thing exists in these days of easy Virtue.’ The passengers by the last steamer from Aspinwall, who contracted to be carried through to New Orleans, “only touch vg at Havana to transfer them to another’ steamer,” were left on shore here in @ doghole, crowded together, in order to secure cheap board for the company, where thoy are compelled to remain un. til another steamer (ten a) belonging to the line ar- rives to take them away. y have most of them ex pended all their money in procuring their passage tickets; whatever they may have in the United States, here there is vo evidence that they have anything. Forced by the economy of this soulless association into wyetched and comfined quarters, they are becoming sick, and there is nobody to provide for them. The agents of the company that put them here against their will, and in violation of their contract, refuse to furnish medicine or modical attendance for tiem. The Black Warrior passed the Ist of November, and could have taken them to New Orleans; but to save the paltry difference of thirteen dollars they compel them to remain in the pestilence thy quarters, to gencrate disease and to dic of vomito. Is this matter right? Are the agents in New York aware of this action— this outrage upon humanity? I hear that the United States Consul Genera! will bring the subject to the atteu- tion of the Captain General to-day. He has ordered the attendance of physicians and the procurement of medicine, and will try to miake the agents of the line pay the bills. Havana, Nov. 9, 1857. Commercial Pressure—Proposed Measures of Relief — Guards Against the Slave Trade—The Steamer’ Ocean Bird—Opera ai Havana, dc. The day of reckoning amongst our mercantile circles would appeur to be fast approaching, and it could not have come at g more unfortunate period. Money hag seldom been so tight in this city ag it is at the present moment. The banks generally have suspended discounting, and money from them is not to be had at any price. There were m.cetings of our lealing men (not regular juntas) held at the Palace several evenings last week. Amongst other plan® proposed toretieve the money market, was one, I hear, that all receipts for aeciones (shares in joint stock companies) should be handed over to the Spanish Bank of Havana, which was to issue paper for the several amounts. Lam not aware if it was resolved this system of “centralization” should be adopted. I aiso bear What it is in contemplation to require that hereafter all receipts for money received above a certain amount must be given on stamped paper. This will doubtless increase the public revenue, although it will not press heavily upon the poorer cless. Our tradesmen will be aptto feol the “ pine” more severely than others Tam told that many parties who do not possess great wealth complain most bitterly of being compelled to pay the taxes of by-gone years # second Line, in consequence of Senor Palemino’s defalcation. Very few, comparatively speaking, bave taken care to preserve more than their last year's tax receipt, and now they are called upon to produce the receipt for taxes paid three of (our years ago, and in default of their doing this are compelled to pay the taxes over again. Three of the new joint stock companies—* 1a Constructo- ra,” “La Edificadora,” and the « el del Cerro’’—have gone into liquidation. Bodies of dragoons, I understand, are quartered at short distances from each other, from Guanajay all along the north coast of this island, with the view of arresting any besuies whose landings ‘have been effected despite ‘the vigilance of the Spanish eruisess. This circumstance will searcely tend to render Gea cai Concha more popular among the slave traders.

Even in the event of seve- ral thousand troops reaching the valley of the Salt Lake the besieged might take tothe mountains, where they would be reinforced by their savage allies—whom, it is said, they can furnish with arms and horses in an emer- gency—and adopt a harassing mode of warfare, and an ef- fective one in cutting off all supplies. embrace all the claims is quite certain, for he did not visit but a portion of these extensive Torritories, and could not know the amount of all the private demands: that aro yet to be made.

Such a demand, it might be supposed, might have provoked a Spartan re- ply; but,on the contrary, instead of Brigham being toid to“come and take them,” itseems fo have formed the subject of an absurdly serious correspondence, with all he usual tedium and flourishes in which Col. Alexander, of the 10th United States infantry, commanding, tells Brigham that “ he has the honor te acknowledge his com- munication,’ &c., &c., and that the letter conveying the insulting proposition he “will subinit to the General eom- manding as soon as he arrives,” &e., &e.

It is still doubtful whether the new hall for the popular branch of Cangress will be completed in season, as was expected, for the next Congress, notwithstanding a large additional force has been put on. The arrangement of the heating apparatus is very complicated and involves great labor, and it is now progressing very slowly. The repre- sentatives will no doubt elect to occ Py, their old hall this winter. The gas arrangements for lighting the new hall will be particularly striking in effect. Each pane of stain- ed glass in the ceiling will be surrounded with a row of gas burners, and when lighted will exhipit with beautiful distinctness the arms of the several States of the Union depicted on the glass. {Correspondence of the States.] ‘Wasmnctox, Nov. 18, 1857. vo bac Pat 1a— Bold by hd ry nao ig ike chanan—Military Occupation of the Transit Route 6 United States cn ie eming o te Route.

The great point at issue, and which, it is hoped, is now to be rettled, is in regard to the Nicaragua Transit and its free enjoyment by citizens of the United States. It is im- portantao this country that the Transit should be con- trolled by Nicaragua, inasinnch as it will be more conve- nient for this governinent to treat w.ih one State in regard to it than two or more States, and look to one rather than several for its protection. The disputes among these petty States might at any time endanger its security and expose it to interruptien and occlusion as at present. Besides, the United States government has every reason to protect Nicaragua in the possession of her territorial rights and integrity, as against the pretensions of Costa Rica, which are founded upon pretended rights of con- quest in the late convulsions. It is understood that the Prosident has wisely deter- mined to open the San Juan river, which is now blockaded by Costa Rica. ‘Costa Rica will assent, no doubt, to the occupation of the Une of the Transit by United States troops; but if she does not, there will be the greater necessity for holding it in possession during the inability of Nicaragua to protect it, Nicaragua has signified through her Minister, Mr. Yris- sarri, her intention ty recognize the grant of the right of [Correspondence of the Boston Journal} ‘ASHINGTON, Nov. 18, 1857. raska Delegate’ | Z.
