Governor Cumming delivered his Mes sage before a joint session of both bo dies to-day, at .12 o'clock. It was one of the Governor's happiest efforts, and was pronounced ' by all parties' tmsur- passea. What the programme; of the , session will be. none as yet know. Some of the fire-eaters are feeling around, as to what are the prospects of success should the Capitol question again be agitated. , The members very generally are, I am confi dent, opposed to that agitation. There may. be, however, a short spat over it toward the close of the session. Two or three important measures cf a general nature are being talked over, viz: a substitute for our- present school law; a licence law; and a homesteadlaw. I look upon the three as of , vast impor- .tance to the people of this Territory. Of the two former I have heretofore . said considerable, and it is therefore unnec essary now to recapitulate. i , A liberal homestead law will fill the place of the general stay or bankrupt law of which we spoke some weeks ago, and of which much has been said through out the Territory. It would offer all in ducements necessary to encourage emi gration; afford sufficient protection and prove creditable. . It would also have a very great tendency to decrease the credit system, the less of which we can have the better for us. ; .A change of Postmaster at this city has . been made. Mr. Wtmas of the Times has been 'removed, and Mr. Robertson . cf the Nebrashian appointed to fill the ts ancy. C F. J ' The Legislature. : This body met on Tuesday the 7thinst. .From what we can hear they are deter mined to do something for the people at large this session, and discountenance private" speculation, whicn has heretofore taken the precedence of public good. . The representation from this county is of the right stripe is energetic and will . faithfully attend to the wants of the peo ple. We think Nemaha county, may well feel proud or her representatives and sa tisfied that her interests will not suffer in such hands. ' " Forty-SeTcn States.;.' Would any one believe,' without look ing into it, that we are in a fair way of carrying the number of sovereign States originally thirteen, and now thirty-one, . to forty-seven? But so ir is. In the first place, there are Oregon, Kansas and Minnesota, whose constitutions are alrea dy formed or forming. . It is hoped they will be admitted the coming winter, mak ; jr. the members of the confederacy thir- ly-fcur." Then New Mexico, Nebraska, and Washington, already thriving Terri tories, will swell the aggregate to thirty seven. Four new States 10 be carved .cut of Texas, according to provisions in the treaty cf annexation, will give us for- ty-cne. Two additional States demanded from the area now included in California wodd make forty-three. Arizona, Neo sho, Dacotah and Columbus Territories carry us to forty-six. ' And lovely Utah will be the forty-seventh to "lend to that fair circle the grace of her form and the. lightness cf her step." ISTEWS ITEMS. " ' " JVashingtcn, Nov. 27.

The working -men yesterday assembled in the Park, and at Tompkin's square, and ask. work of the Central Park Com missioners. A deputation waited on the Board in session, but no notice was taken of it. The office was strongly guarded by policemen to prevent any outbreak. v - Nov. 30. A heavy robbery was committed on board the bark Pantucket Saturday eve ning, which was lying in the stream, while the Captain was absent on shore. : The cabin was entered and two casks of dou bloons, valued at $10,000 were stolen. The Pantucket was bound for Trinidad. The mate and -cook are missing. . The U. S. mail steamship Northern Light, from Aspinwall on the 21st ihst., with the Calif ornia mails to Nov. oth, and nearly one and a quarter million of spe cie as freight, arrived here yesterday. The news from California is interest- An immense meeting of the citizens of San Francisco was held on the 1st to give expression to the sense of the public on the loss of the Central America. '..A project was on foot in California to create a new Territory of the Great Ba sin between the Goose Creek Mountain on the Fast, and the Sierra Nevada on the West, and between the Oregon .and Utah line on the North. and the Colorado river on the South. , -ft-..: A card has been published in the San Francisco papers stating that the travel would be resumed, on the Nicaragua route and that on the arrival of the mail of the 20th October the sailing day would be announced. , t The advices from Central America are important, under present circumstances. War had been officially declared between Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and President Martinez of the former republic was pre paring to place himself at the head of the army. His proclamation announces a determination to maintain the right of the republic to the territory claimed by and now a possession of Costa Rica. 1. Col.

No important ope rations have been undertaken by either party The official vote of New York at the recent election shows the Democratic ma jority for Comptroller, Treasurer, Attor ney General,. State Engineer, Canal Commissioner, : and Inspector of State Prisons to average about .17,400 each, while the majority of Secretary of State reaches 18,236, and for Judge of Appeals 18,063. The American vote. as compar ed with last year, .shows a falling off of nearl one-half, while the Republican vote is barely three-fourths of what it was at the same period. The Democtatic vote shows a slight increase. ' Assassination is rife in New York.

Coburn1 was seconded by Awful Gardner, and Jim White. Gribben by Vinkle and Pifer. The fight lasted but thirty minutes. On the 21st round, Coburn put a blow over the region of Gribben's" heart which ren dered him insensible for several minutes and prevented "'his- coming to "time." This closed the fight in favor of Coburn. -There was quite a large attendanbe of the fancy" from New York and Biiffalo.' 'Among those who were lost by the col lision of the steamers Opelousas and Gal veston mentioned a few days since, was Gen. James Hamilton of South Carolina. He was a man well known throughout the United States as a leading South Carolina politician in days past,- and was a promi nent candidate for the .

Old Wolfrom is the ugliest and filthiest man in the United States without any excep tion; and how, with all his ugliness, he got the widow's consent to have him is a mystery, to us: We can assure the bride that she need'not be afraid of any woman running away with Wilfrom,1 for she.'

The Financial CrislsAbroad. .The Steamer Atlantie arrived at New York on the 22d ult, with Liverpool dates to the 11th. ; . ; Messrs. Dennistoun & Co. have failed liabilities 2,000,000 sterling, also the Western Bank of Scottland with deficits amounting to 6,000,000 sterling; and Messrs. Babcock & . Co. with; Livem and american liabilities amounting to 300,000 sterling.; Other r failures of smaller amounts were also announced. The London Times says that Dennis toun Company are one of the largest firms tuuuecieu wnn ine American trade, and their liabilities, it is supposed, amount, to ten millions of dollars. .They have houses in New York and New Orleans, and the total suspension of remittances from those cities rendered their stoppage ' unavoida ble. The head establishment , is located in Glasgow," where it has existed for up ward of seventy years, with branches a'sa in London and Liverpool. The private property of the partners is immense, and it is believed the suspension will only be temporary. The house of Dennistoun & Co., in Melbourne, is a distinct establish ment an3 will not suffer. ' B. E. BabbockSi- Co, with houses in Li verpool, Glasgow, and ;New York, have failed for a million and a , half of dollars. Joseph Foot Casilk manufacturers, in London, and Jlenry Dutilth & Co., in the American trade at Liverpool, liave also suspended. - Although, to some extent , looked for, the suspension of the Western Bank cau sed great dismay. The bank did an imr mense business in Glasgow, and had about one hundred branches scattered over Scottland. Its deposits were very large, amounting to between five and six millions sterling.. There cannot , be vany. eventual loss, as the proprietory contains many of the wealthiest men in Scottland, some of whom are believed to be worth a million sterling.

A finan cial crisis' was almost beginning in Swe den and Norway and money was becom ing scarce. : The French Moniteur publishes a noti fication from the Emperor upon a report from the Minister of Finance,' in which he says he sees with pain the imperiled and chimerical fears propagated and ; the delusive remedies proposed for imaginary evils. The law permitting the 1 bank to raise the rate of discount must suffice- to keep the bullion in better condition than last year. . The bank has raised the rate of discounts 8 per cent, for bills under thirty days, 9 for bills under sixty "days, and 10 for bills under ninety days. .', t- The English In India. The India news are the cause of re joicing, not only in England, but in every heart which sympathizes with the victims of, the inhuman savages who raised the standard of revolt. And it is refreshing to contemplate the speedy overthrow of the barbarous rebels and the cessation of cruelties inflicted upon the unfortunate English residents who chanced to fall in to the murderous hands of the rebels.- Editorial Chit-Chat of . Advertiser' Bee. 10, 1857, - ISt37. 'Delhi is fallen!' Wis the Times, the mighty thunderer of British Tyranny,. One hundred thousand under lings of. the press in England re-echo the howl. Fast ships and telegraph wires carry the news across the Atlantic. 'Delhi is fallen !' screams the New York Tribune; the thousand and one small fry of freedom screamers, repeat the cry 'till in every household the ominous word 'Delhi is fal len' is' repeated. ' Pious political parsons slowly lift up their eyes to heaven and thank God that the foul India rebels are put down by the good sword of England, and that missionaries, backed by that good sword, Bible in hand, can still preach to the poor native "Obey the powers that be, for all power is from above." 1776. The ominous cry was heard in London 'New York is fallen !' the foul previncian rebels more savage than the red Indian are no more. Clinton has for ever silenced that audacious rebel Wash ington, and no doubt it was refreshing to contemplate that his body would soon dangle from the . gibbet in High-Gate. The aews was the cause of rejoicing not only in'-Engiand, but in the hearts of certain German princes who sympathized with her in the shape of 17,000 men, to put down the inhuman savages whs raised the standard of revolt. Success has (thank God) crowned the American rebels God grant that history shall record the same tale of the native east Indian. Their cause is the same. Let us see : . Two centuries ago, India, after a long period of anarchy, reposed pacified and prosperous under Abkar, her mighty ru ler, of whom a deputation of Rajputs speaks to Aurung-zeb : "Your royal an cestor Akbar, whose throne is now in heaven, conducted the affairs of the em pire durinap -han fifty years with justice, watcL sfce- repose and hap- piness of all elates -of his subjects, wheth er they were followers of Jesus, or-of Moses, or of Man, or of Mahomed ; he caused them all to partake alike of his care and protection. And thence it was that all these peoples grateful for his protection-united in calling him the guar dian of Humanity.' And thus was India governed with a. father's care until, about eighty years ago, the king, of Delhi thro' kindness gave the English liberty to trade with his people. They , then bought the village of Calcutta as a. trading, port, ana having thus acquired a foothold, by re peated acts of aggression went on to rob the native princes of, their1 property and the king of his dominions. ' As it was of Delhi, so it . was of all India. We might now ask with F. de - Lanoye, a French gentleman who travelled through British India : "Has the British government been a benefit for the present generation of its subjects? '(With him also we can answer no, and assert that, now after eighty years of supremacy,- it has been careless of eve rything, but rflatters of importations, : ex- portations, monopolies and profits, oppres sed and exhausted India to such a point that the cry of the poor natives in Bengal IS Oh! pity, we die of hunger !' No wonder then the old man and the infant child sigh' for their ancient rajahs and hate England with a holy hatred. Have they not cause ? Indeed they have, for the greater portion of the Hindoos are compelled by their rulers to cultivate a certain portion of the soil and, pay a cer tain amount of rent to their masters ; and so exorbitant is this rent that it leaves the cultivator not enough to live on, and he often applies to be exempt from tilling -the soil. But his application; is in vain (for opium has to be raised to demoralise the Chinese) and a few lashes from the con? stable's rod, and a wholesome fear, of be jinjpui in a. chan-gang fprsix .m'onths tb work"the roads generally ensure" his com pliance. The rent day comes round ; from some cause he is unable to pay; an officer sword in hand places "himself athis doot and allows himi his wife or children neither food, sleep or water till the rent is paid. The result is he has to sell the only thing left to $uppof t life ,to meet, this cruel de-. mand, and besides has to' pay the" officer for every day he watched at his door and deprived him aiuTfamily of food. What cruelty ! enough to foment one hundred rebellions, not to mention the almost dai ly, amusement of Queen's troops (God bless her) 'of ramming natives into their cannons and shooting them off. The wailing of his father,: mother, bro thers and sisters, pierced the heart of the Sepoy, and he unsheathed tis sword to cut down their oppressor, Small .indeed is the ' spark of human freedom : in the breast of him who would not say,' God speed .that sword. Now England seeks Christian aidand, sympathy from all Christian people, forgetting to inform the world that the massacre at Delhi was not a massacre of Christians but of the Eng lish rf or the natives do not look on . the English as such, at all. . This has already run beyond the limits Of a Correspondence, DUt 1 Will did by , . f v,', . . .' . . drawing a few parallels, in hopes that it may open the optics of those who look up to England for everything that is good and pure. . ' -; - " ' . England is the advocate of Free Trade in the West ana" the great mistress of Monopoly in the East. She professes in Europe peace and good will to all men whilst in Asia she is at war with half the human race, " .
