" Our readers know that Cadiz is the oldest , town in Europe and that the excellence of its position has always secured it a commercial prominence; at pres ent, however, it is rapidly declining, and the ri valry of. Puerto Santa Maria for the wine, trade of Jerez, by depriving it of its last source of supply, has brought this bhceuniversal mart almost to a complete stagnation ; a direct con nection with Jerez, Seville, and Cordoba may restore it to comparative importance, and ena ble it to become once more a distributing depot for the Western Mediterranean. Before, how ever, it can hope-to regain entirely its former position of commercial .grandeur, the govern , ment of Spain must consent to that liberty of intercouise which has conferred such superior advantages upon the petty town' of Gibraltar. All these railroads were more or less Jnter- ested in the ministerial nroicct nresented to the Cortes, and rejected by so overwhelming a ma . 1 . 1 jority; but it must not be supposed that this opposition was to the policy of improvement ; it is simply to the Cabinet of, Sartorius. ' Don Luis Jose Sartorius commenced life as many other Spanish politicians T our day, a liberal ; for a while, he was an editor, gradually rose to be Count San Louis, became Minister of the In terior, and, at the same time, convinced that re form had gone far enough, attacked the press ; is now President of the Council, and the un blushing and uiprinciplcd Premier of an equal ly unblushing Mistress. The opposition to his government is divided into two "sections, the Progresista and Conservadora ; the latter com . posed of such men 11s the Marquis del Duero, Generals Jose and Manuel de la Concha, Mr. Avazola, the Duke of Rivas, &e.. &c. And when these men act in conjunction with the avowed Progresistas, we may well believe that the conduct of the Sartorius has met with the d( served reproval of the Spanish nation. To vote railroad schemes, would be worse than fol ly, so long as the fountain of power and honor pours forth so muddy stream. The telegraph speaks of duels between the Duke of Alba, and the Marquis of Turgot, (thej nost on tne mgnt ot tne aisturoance, ) on the one side, and the Soules on the other. We sincere ly hope the news may prove false; mortifying it must be to all the parties concerned, and cer tainly disgusting in the extreme to the people of the United States that tbeir representatives, w hethcr lseht or wrung; should be involved in such scenes as we have unfortunately had the opportunity of witnessing in the ridiculous but nevertheless scandalous qua -rel of Messrs. Bar ney and Sartiges. j j The gentlemen who havejaut ceased to re p- . resent the two countries conlferred credit upon their own and gave satisfaction id tbe govern ments near which they we tie accredited. , Se nor Calderon carried with him, on retiring, the regrets and good wishes of all Washington, and we are, happy to say the position of our own - Minister at Madrid was equally honorable and distinguished. When the news arrived of the New Orleans Cuban riot, and it was proposed, in a (joffce-house, to avenge the insult on the American Embassy-, respt-ct for Mr. Barrin ger's character and genii.. manly deportment alone preserved the American flag ffiim ;a simi lar outrage, and prevented an occurrence which would have added greatly to the d ffieulty of . re-estrtbiihliing friendly relations. His urbani ty, his j o'ilied demeanor and scrupulous re gard ior "the propj-ietiis of social intercourse, reacted upon the position of every American in Spain, while his. successful exurtion in be Uialt' of the Cuban prisoners, in Ceuta, and the Trtvsponsibilities, both pecuniary and political, which he" unhesitatingly incurred, prove at onoe his desire an,bis cspnbility of serving Effectu ally the country .be iepresrnted.

Several times he susrsested 'subjects which he wished to hear treated from the pulpit, and I have taken ad vantage or the suggestion. Ud one occasion, i remember well, he said to me, with more than common earnestness, "There is one text I have often thought of as opening a grand subject, and I should like to hear it treated." " What is that, Mr. Webster?" Turning to me. for we were seated at a table, with his eye kindling under his overhanging brow, and speaking slowly, in ins deep and tremulous tone, he said. " There is one law-giver. 1 replie noble subject, and i will write upon plied, " It is a ! ,,, f,. 1 ipon it tor next Sunday." - You cannot." " W by 1 it is but Wednesday, and I shall have ample time." " You cannot. That sermon will cost you the best fortnight's labor yu ever undertook." I thought, nevertheless. I could accomplish the design, and upon returning home to my study I undertook it dwelling upon it and making notes.

' Soon nfr I returned from Egypt and the Holy Land, "hearing that Mr. Webster was in town, I called opon him at. the Astor. as I was always accustomed to do. His reception of me was most cordial and affectionate. He asked many questions as to my Eastern travels, and as I rose to go away, he took me by the hand and said, "I want you to do one thins for me.

Fay. Argus. -,-THE MISSISSIPPI.-, Never before have w realized so vividly as in the last few days tin? relation Ibet ween our glorious old river and.tjie mightier tide of-hu- man life, which ia swelling along its majestic course, and- eddying through its broad and mag-1 nificent valley. The crash of -one ot those old i empires across the wafers, and the boundfng forth of an emancipated, nation, could i hardly . have produced a more jiVely sensation bere than that which ran through; the entire community at the announcement, tliat our Giant lliver had burst the icy fetters which have so long bound him,' and; thousands of our people hastened down to see him bearing off their fragments like a conqueror. As a physical object, the Mississippi possess es in a high degree the attributes of sublimity, f he first vjew of it is apt to oause a feeling of disappointment, but like all truly great tilings the more we see of it the more sens'dte we are of its majesty. ' In most parts of its coursa be low the mouth of the Missouri, it is the narrow est stream in the world fr its volume of water: but when, after gliding swiftly upon its bosom day after day, we see no change exue'pt that af ter rounding some deep and narrow bend, it sometimes spreads itself abroad in its majesty, its shores trending away into the dim horizon, as if to show what a wealth of waters was hid den in the depths of its channel ; and hen we think rf the number and magnitude of its trib utaries, roaming thouands of miles through untrodden forests and grassy prairies and un cultivated plains the hundred arms by which the Giant gathers tribute at once troni the most sequestered glens of the Alleganies, and the far lottier fastnesses of the Rocky Mountains, when thousands of torrents rush forth from the snow drifts, piled up in those icy halls of Deflation i by the storms of a thousand winters ; and when we think also of the unnumbered ag-s since ho was first hurled forth by the hand of God, when our young earth was rising from the dim waste of chaos and heaving up on either side of this great valley the exhaustless urns of his ever lasting flood, we begin to have a just conception of his natural grandeur; and when we reflect lurther upon the vast sum of human good which lie dispenses to the thronging myriads along hiscndless chores, the hopes and fears embarked upon his far-flowing waters, the mighty cities which will tower along his banks, the vast commerce that will float upon his bo som, and all uuimagined wonders which he is to witness in the roll of future ages and gene rations, he acquires a moral interest, and be comes a fit enililem, in his own sublimity and majestic associations, of the empire that is ris ing on his shores.

OUR RIGHTS RECOGNIZED. .BUTCOX; -.,:v ' i'.TEMNEDl .--;-' , It will be seen, by reference to "the interest ing -detail of Congressional proceedings in another jpart of this paper, that Mr. Kt.-uC. eepdad in obtaining, in the House of Represen- titives. on Thursday last, a recognition of the I rightful iclaim of the old States to a share in the public domain, by" means of an amendment to the bill granting lands for the construction of railroads in Minnesota. Tnc proposition re ceived the support of many, who have hereto fore opposed all divisions of the proceeds of the land, Mr. Ckaige, alone, of the members from this State, voting against it, though Messrs. RtrriN iind Aske were absent. On Friday, however, after Mr. Kerr's amend ment, for the benefit of the old States, had been, upon a test question, coufirmed, the North-wet-tern members, and those interested in thefpresent piratical system of disposing of the lands, turned almost em masse upon the bill, as amended, and defeated it! It is some consolation to know that .ywerathuschecked.foronce, in their grasping avarice, but nothing could have demonstrated so conclusively, as the course they pursued up on the occasion, the determined purpose which tliey cherish of cheating us out of our dearly purchase! rights.- In this purpose, too, they were abetted by the Southern locofoco mem bers! Can such a slate of things be longer en dured ? ;-And can any portion of the people of North Carolina, in the face of such monstrous wrong aid gross fraud, be longer induced, by party demagogues, t.i follow after a shadow, while the substance, in ,he meantime, is rapid ly fading away ? Mr. Kkrr supported his amendment with zeal and ability, and deserves all thanks for the manliness with which he bore himself through out the proceedings of the House in relation to the mattj-r. lie compelled the spoliators and abstractionists to show the cloven foot and we trust ithat the people of the State'will profit by the development ! A BENEFICENT MEASURE. The Senate, on Wednesday last, passed the bill making a grant of public lands to the sev eral States, for the benefit of indigent insane persons. We trust that it will meet, similar favor in the other branch of the National Legis lature. The bill provides : "That there be granted to the several States, for the purpose mentioned, ten millions of acres of land, to be apportioned, under the direction of the President of the United States, in the compound -ratio of the geographical area and representation of stud States in the House of Representatives, according to the census of eighteen &iindrrd and fifty : Provided, That said apportionment shall be made, after first alloting to each State one hundred thousand acres." After directing how the lands are to be dis posed of, the bill provides the mode in which the money received therefor shall be invested and expended. The moneys so invested are to constitute a perpetual fund, the principal of which shall remain forever undiminished, and the interest lc inviolably appropriated to the ( lniiirinnm iinu . 1 11-ir :i mi 1 in' iiritiur inn 1 n. ' r tenance and suppoit of, the indigent insane. The curable indigent insane are to be placed in regularly organized State institutions, or in public incorporated institutions or hospitals for the exclusive care of the insane, or in public city hospitals for the sole cue and treatment of the same. No part of the fund is to be applied to the support of insane persons confined in jails, or work or poor-houses ; nor in any pri- Ldial care of the insane. The "Intelligencer" says that "there was, during the debate on the bill, some singular casuistry as to the difference between appro priating land and money, and the distinction between giving it for the education of the sane and for the insane. But. in consideration the great good to be effected, the friends of the measure need not now stop to expose sophistries ; or to controvert the logic employed. We should not be at all surprised, however, if there saall be found in North Carolina and Virginia, in the event of the final passage of the bill, a number of jtatriottt, who will object to either, State's receiving any portion of the "common fund" who will not give up their darling abstraction, though the tacriice will greatly relieve the public burthens and will promote ame of the noblest of humanities! Not satisfied. The Richmond "Enquirer" is terribly out of humor with the Nebraska bill, as passed by the Senate. Gen. Cass's doctrine of "Squatter Sovereignty" has so alarmed it, that it comes very near repudiating the bill. It says : The doctrine of squatter sovereignly, as pro 1 i 1 , . . . . " ' pounaea Dy Mr. Uass, was denounced and re- ted from the first by the State rights men of ! ine em:ratic party, now, then, can we ac- cept a bill which asserts and illustrates this dogma in its widest latitude and most pernic ious effect? The provision that the laws of the territorial Legislature shall be exempt from the supervision of Congress, inserted in the Nebras- ka bill, at the instance of Mr. Douglas, is an anomaJy j thU 8ort of legislation on the territorial government absolute indenen- dence and sovereignty. Well might Mr. Cass, with paternal exultation, on occasion of the pas sage of the bill, congratulate himself on the triumph cf his favorite theory of squatter sove reignty. .But in what position do we1 of the South stand who approve the bill with this odious feature ? Do we denounce a principle when it operates to our injury, and assert and applaud ii when by possible chance it may bring us some benefit? Shall we display 8ucfi ver satility of opinion and laxity of principle as to approve to-day what we condemned yesterday ?" We agree with the "Enquirer." The author of " Squatter Sovereignly" should have no ground to congratulate, himself upon its triumph, by the passage of the Nebraska bill, and the ori ginator of the bill should be left no room for dodging, by the incorporation of such a provis ion, "at his instance." The doctrine of non in tervention is as plain as can be, and only needs a simple Congressional enactment that the peo ple of the territories shall be left free to settle the question of slavery among themselves at the time they apply for admission into the Union. The party majority of both Houses of Congress is amply sufficient to carry out, that doctrine ; and moreover, they have their own Administra tion to carry it into execution. The responsi bility is with them " ' ""' ' -yf& The Boston Atlas" says that the Cos torn Housed in that City, has' been assessed to the. tune of seventeen hundred' dollars, to save New Hampshire, at. the election which takes place to-day 1 What can - this mean ?

We think there can be no more; doubt enter tained as to the . certain ty,ii not the actual exis tnbe, of a European war. Great Britain and France, after having shown" every- disposition, during a long series of negotiations," to sacrifice much to the claims of Russia, and less dispo sition to fight than was thought consistent with a firm determination to maintain the rights and privileges of the Sultan, are now exhibiting an energy in their preparations for war that indi cates a determination to carry on operations on .o extensive a scale that resistance will bo al most impossible. Had these preparations been made a few months earlier, when there was an opening for the Czar to have retreated from his position, war might still have been averted ; as he has evidently been deceived, by tlfe anxiety of England and Fiance to negotiate, into the belief, that they would abandon their ally rather than become parties to an European war. The popularity of this war in England and France has evidently surprised even the Gov ernments of those countries, and is clearly evinced by the enthusiasm with which volun teers for the land and naval forces are rushing to the national standards.' The scarcity of sea men for the British n.ivy is no longer felt, and, in the language of the "London Times," the Bri tish fleet has Wen fitted out as readily as a sloop of war would have been five years ago. The navy of France has also been put on a complete war footing with equal facility, and the colos sal preparations indicate the intention of the two Powers to " conquer a peace " as speedily as possible. The commercial news by the Asia, (the last arrival,) especially the decline in breadstuff's, in the face of these warlike preparations, shows that the prices have hitherto gone higher on the anticipations of a general war than the reality warrants. CALIFORNIA AND THE PRESIDENCY. We see that the California papers are claim ing for their State the honor of giving the next President to the Union. The grounds of this claim which they present, arc the importance which the State has already acquired, as evi denced by the assessed value of its property, which is estimated at $200,000,000 for the pres ent year ; its vast commerce, exhibiting more than $33,000,000 of exports for 1S53, and the freedom of its people and public men from sectional prejudices, which exist on this side of the continent, owing to the mixture of Northern and Southern men, aad the distance from the scene of strife. fiSg" Who is the author of Junius' Letters? What has become of the lost Pleiad ? Is the Nebraska bill an Administration measure? Will any one be kind enough to solve us the above questions ? We are aware that the " Union" has said that Gen. Pierce was in fa- vor of the Nebraska bill, and has never said he was not; but it has also declared that it was . . , , not a test question, and though it had called those who voted against it abolitionists, yet it acknowledged that there were democrats who felt it to be their duty to oppose the bill, and it did not intend to call these abolitionists ! In its issue of the 4th instant, we perceive that it has another article on the subject, the evident ,- r. , , u ,-, s ,.- c ! . J 1 cecditigs of the n lug bti;.. ( .liaei.ii.ii, design of which is to slacken the cords of dis- ; assembled at Raleigh die-l-i u!t. The nrinina cipline, and let off such democrats as shall j tion of Gen'i Dockery will receive a cordial ri choose to vote against the bill, without the ! sPunse throughout the t,-,te, and t veil the m -t pains and penalties of excommunication. In that article it is expressly stated that the vote on this bill will not be consid. red as a test o f democracy; which, we take It, is as much as to say to the Northern democrats all from New England save three, and nearly all from New York, who would vote against it at any rate : "vote as you please your democracy shall not be called in question !'' of!

And that is only an entering wedge. The Wisconsin Railroad Bill, at pres ent under consideration in the House of Repre sentatives, embraces one million six hundred thousand acres ! Another bill has been agreed upon in Committee, donating three hundred thousand acres for a railroad from Madison to Prairie du Chien ! In all, the State will have e llile 111 naxe received nearly three millions of the public do- main, and the crv. like that of tl.n l.,.T.oa.i..i, will still be for more. And thus goes North Caro lina's patrimony, and a portion of her own peo ple prefer to hug an abstraction to their bo soms, rather than reach their arms forth to ar rest the work of spoliation and fraud! fiiST"' It seems to me our true policy, that THE PUBLIC LANDS SHOULD CEASE, A8 SOOX AS practicable, to be a scrce or revenue." Jackson's fourth Annual Message. "The timb has ARRIVED when the pub lic DOMAIN HAS CEASED TO BE NECESSARY AS A SOURCE OF REVENUE !" Gen. Cass, U. S. Senate, March 9lh. The "Richmond Whig" thinks that another session of the Virginia Legislature will be held next winter. A secret committee, it is said, was appointed by the members, to preparo preliminaries and collect the wishes of the ma jority in time for the action of the Governor.

JEST The European Times expresses the opin ion that all hopes of peace are over, and that the war will now be carried on with vigor. The Whig State Convention trilt in the city of Raleigh on the 21st instant, and, after due deliberation, that sterling Whig and higbmind ed gentlemen, General Alfred Dockery, of the county of Richmond, was unanimously nomina ted as the standard bearer of the Whig party during tbe approaching gubernatorial cam paign. - k--- We certainly would have been pleased at the nomination of Mother ; but as Gen.
