We are disposed to regard this as the most prompt and efficient plan by which the success of these great works is to -be accelerated. Ia our opinion, all' that is required to. effect, tkis desirable end is, as our Correspondent expresses it, that ft we should all understand each other." It is a meet cause of congratulation, that the labor-power of the State seems to be fully alive to the importance of State improvement. Men who have not the Capital to invest, are ready now to contri- tmn. jmin'toi lutr r W Mkme, atxl the Farwor, andth jUborex, ftrta!ffniKigattd anidousTSontrk bute their share of this most essential Capital. The truth is, the People, the yeomanry of the State, oc cupy a different position on this subject, from what they have ever done before. They feel tliat they have an individoal.interest in it that Mtyare iden tified with the interests and prosperity of the State that they are not merely the instruments for cre ating wealth, but of enhancing and enjoying it. They begin to see that such a system is essential to our advancement and welfare ; and acting upon this principle, they are prepared to go into the work with a zeal and determination that knows no such word as fail. In summing up the interests that will be promoted and the vast facilities that will be afforded by the Central Rail Road, we have been struck with the fact, that uuany articles which are within our borders, almost valueless, as they now are, will be rendered prolific sources of wealth and enterprise.

Rail Road communication will also bring into no tice the thousand favorable locations for Manufac tories, scattered throughout the entire West. And as Manufacturing villages and Towns spring up and increase, the agricultural interest is promoted in the same ratio. Let ps particularize a little. By the late able and interesting Report of the Committee census ol 'isio'is the basis' and allowing Vor tbe naJ tural increase of population, those at the present day eneaed in manufactures, mechanic arts, and mining in ou Country, cannot be less than 1,100,000, and to this number we may safely add 10 per cent for la borers employed about the establishments. This would make 1,210,000, and if we allow that three fifths of these laborers have families, we should, on a fair estimate, have at least 4,000,000 of our popu- lAtioniconnected with manufactures and mining. These must be supplied with agricultural products ; and as five bushels of wheat per head would be but rPflaonable allowance, they would consume 20.000,- 000 of bushels annually, which would be one-fifth of the entire wheat crop of the country, after deduct nr the ouantitv required for seed. Thesame prin ciples will apply to other articles of vegetable food. Tlx Itoreign News. The foreign intelligence, by the late Steamer, is of ipeculiar and thrilling importance.

James Shields to a seat in this body, with instruc tion to inquire into the elegibiiity oi tne saiu jas. Shields to such seat report, That having given due notice to said Shields, hfrjpoeared before them, and they took the sub jeennto consideration. They further report that the said certificate f election declares that the said Jas. Shields was chosen a Senator of the United States by the Leg islature of the State of Illinois, on the 13th day of January last that it further appears and is ad mitted by the said James Shields that he is an alien by birth, and the only proof before the coin mittefi nf the naturalization of the said Shields in the United States, is contained in the copy of a certificate of naturalization in the Circuit Court of Effingham county, in the said State of Illinois, which is annexed to and made part of this report, by which certificate it appears, that the said Jas. Shields was admitted by said Court a citizen of the United States, on the 21st day of October, 1840. The committee therefore report the follow ing resolutions : . That thp election of James bbields to be a Sehator of the United States, was void, he not having been a citizen ot the United estates tne term of years required as a qualification to be a Senator of the United States. , JVIrJtfason stated that the Committee bad sev hftn rireoared to report, and had then addressed a letter to Gen.

He continued that though it was necessary under the . ivm xi! constitution that a member ot this noaysnaii net Dir ty years ot age at the time ot taking ms seai, it um not require that he should be so at the time of his . mt election. So also in the present case. 1 ue consti tution says, that " no one shall be a member who is not thirty years of age, has been nine years a citizen of the United States, and an inhabitant of the Stats at the time of his election." He cited several cases, that of Mr. Clay, who was elected at the age of 29 years, to prove that such had been the construction given to the coustitution heretofore. Mr. Webster held most incontestibly that the election was void. The constitution required that he should be eligible as a Senator for six years from the 4th of Mach aud it might with just as much propriety be said that he could have been elected when he had only been six years a citizen of the State as when he had been eight years, ms oDjeci m rising, however, was to move, as the resolution was likely to give rise to further debate, that the subject be post poned until to-morrow, and the Senate then proceeded to the consideration of Executive business.

It will be seen from the above, that the Select Committee, to whom the question of this gentleman's eligibility to a seat in the Senate was referred, have reported adversely thereon. The report is understood to be unanimous; and the ground assumed that he has not been a citizen of the United States the con stitutional number of years, (nine) to make him eli gible to a seat in that branch of eur National Leg:sla- ture. We presume that there is but little doubt 01 tne cheerful concurrence of the Senate. Even were Gen. Shields eligible, his late brutal letter to Mr. Breese constitutes just and good cause for disqualifi cation. The Senate owes it to its own elevated char acter and its exalted dignity, not to leave such con duct unnoticed and unpunished. P. S. On Wednesday, Gen. Shields, in order, he said, to relieve the Senate from further difficulty about the matter, tendered his resignation. Mr. Webster and others opposed its acceptance, upon the irround that, since the election was void, Gen. Shields had no right to resign a seat which was not his. After protracted discussion, the whole matter was postponed nntil the next day.
