onlv eight days later Inc poltcal news is OF very
hue importance. The English press, whenever
they talk OF this country, express the same SEN
tmen,s as heretofore and are full of the same de-
scription OF grumbling.


The most important part of the news Is that which
relates 10 markets and music. The English crops
ook rather gloomy. and the harvest will be under
average, in consequence Of bad weather. This has
created a little anticipated decline in the cotton
market, and if the harvest should be very bad,
no doubt the speculative emovementswill be affected
The railroad mania still in the ascendant, and the
London papers are principally employed in publish
lag railroad advertisements. Each of the principal
morning papers issues dailya supplement- of the
same size as the regar edition, filled entirely with
railroad advertisements. 1t would indeed appear
that there is combinat ton of the London newspa-
per press and the railroad spectators for the purpose
Of keeping up and stimulating the mania. This in
ielligence relative to the bad crops in England may
have the effect OF raising the price of breadstutfs in
this country but afraid, ifbreadstutfs be sup
Piled by the northern States, that cotton will be more
deprecated in consequence of that very fact.


The other items of interest which these papers
bring US is that in reference to music. Leopold de
Meyer. the most extraordinary genius that ever
appeared in Europe an artist on the pianoforte,
has arrived and intends to appear at the Park Thea
ire in week ten days, and afterwards travel over
this country He has travelled all over Europe both
Christian and Mahomedan Europe, and has been
considered the most extraordinary genius in his llne
and now he comes to gather laurels in the new
world He is one OF the finest and most elegant
looking men-a young man, too-that we have seen
for a long tlme and he was seen yesterday walking
in Broadway-a perfect specimen of German grace
tulness and beauty. No doubt his presence in the
country, and his career here, will give new impulse
to musical taste. Ole Bull created a ftTor and en-
thusasm with regard to the violin, and that is by no
means so fashionable an instrument the piano
forte. We are prepared to see Leopold de Meyer
produce even greater sensation, in his particular
lne, amongst all the fashionable and musical circles
of this wide and extended country.


Our RELATIONS AT HOME AND ABRoAp--CouRsE
OF THE ADMINIsrRATroN.-The is much anxiety
already visible among men of all parties, regarding
the probable Of conduct that will be pursued
by the President and his cabinet during the ap-
preaching session of Congress- and the party presses
of both sides hazarding opinions as to the stand
that Mr. Polk will take on the various points of in
terest which are new important to the country.
We have received intelligence from an authentic





nation as to what it really will be. 1t is highly pro-
babe that IN the message to Congress, which will
be delivered by Mr. Polk on the meeting of that
body in the early part of December, that he will
firmly maintain the same high ground which he as
sumed the subject of our foreign relations in his
inaugural address, and which caused so much ex-
cltement and so many warm comments from the
political circles of Europe. Since that time. the
Il .t,-~ IL
ton of Texas, has completely subsidized. Texas is
ours, and all the mutterings and ratings of Mexico
are hushed Our government has received reports
of two expeditions which were conducted by that
hardy and gallant pioueer Captain Fremont, into
/ Oregon, and the same individual has again st d
on third one tor California; in this last one the
government has nothing to say, though the two first
were under its auspices. Mr.. Polk will doubtless
be very firm in advocating the entire occupation of
all the territory that lies between the degrees of ~
and 81 40, and which this country has an undoubted
right to.


As regards the home policy that will be pursued,
we are informed from the same source that the
President will undoubtedly advocate modification
OF the present tariff, and that he will probably re-
commend some measure similar to the Compromise
Act Of 1892, which consisted in placing everything
Il
cent ad vaiorem duty There is one thing to be
borne in mind, however, that the recommendation
OF the President this matter, goes but for what
1t is worth with the House of Representatives who
have the legislatlng of this matter in their own
hands. There will also be some plan recommended
as to the keeping of the finances of the country and
new sub-treasury law, differing, however, in
many respects from the former one, may be brought

assured of-that the system of paper currency will
be entirely exploded bankrupt law, to include
banks and corporations, as well as individuals.
may also be mentioned The cheap postage law
will also be touched on, and some action on il re.
commended.


These are few OF the most prominent topics that
VIII be discussed IN his message; and what serves
much to strengthen them in every way is the course
that the late elections have taken in every par, OF
the country.


Judging from them, there has been feeling
aroused among the people, particularly as 10 enlarg

rest satisfied with stretching over as far as the
shores OF the Pacific, but will only subside with
the entire adoption of the whole North American
continent.
