-There is great exeitoment in tho island «f
Cnba, arisiog from a report that a filibuster ex
. ' . pedition ia about to sail from the United States.
The whole island is being placed in n state of
■- defence. Tho militia are oallod out, and every
preparation made for a vigorous defence. A
letter writor from New Orleans sayß that an ex
pedition ie preparing to eail soon for tho libera
- 1 tion of Cnba.
As .we stated some time ago, a bill is now
; pending in our legislature to vacate that por
tion of tho canal in Pittsburgh, between Liberty
and Beventh streets. Thoso who have made
same objections to this measure are probably
not aware of the. objects in view, or of the
present state of things in that vioinity.
The value of that portion of the canalis much
less now than heretofore ; as tho warehouses on
its eastern bank are to be torn down, and no
longer used for storage and forwarding pur
poses. ‘ The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has . purchased the ground at the corner of
Liberty and Washington otroets formerly oecc
pied by a church and a burial ground. The
company has also bought all. the ground ex
tending from Washington to Seventh streets,
and from the canal to Fairmount street. The
company thus owns all the ground adjacent to
"♦ho east bank of that portion of the canal
sought to bo vacated, and the old warehouses
are to be removed. This ground has been
bought at a large price, because absolutely
needed for the accomodation of tbe road oa a
freight depot, and for other purposes connected
with dts business.
The-outer depot' of tho road, in the Ninth
Ward, ie too far distant from tho business por
- tions of the city to be a suitable place for tho
£. . reoeipt and delivery of freights by the road,
r ®l®. drayago of freights for so great a distance
wonld be a heavy expense, arid a groat incon
venience to our-merchant* and citizens. And
- besides, the ground at the enter depot is needed
for sidings, car stations- and other purposes.
More room is needed; and the Company has now
secured ground suitable for its purposes and
business, in the best place where it conld be ob
tained.- It can be used for fre-ghting purposes,
if is true, without filling up the canal, as thero
are fronts on Washington, Fairmount and
Seventh streets. Bat mnoh better aocommoda
• tions could be afforded to the pnblio if that por-
Upn of the oanal was filled up. By vacating
- that portion of tho canal, its bed is not given to
> the company. It reverts tho to original owners,
, pr adjoining owners, midmost be bought by tho
oompany if wanted for its nee.
•; What, then, are the objections to filling up
that portion of the canal? We have heard bat
two objections named. First: that it wonld cut
! off the connection betweon the tunnel and tho
. canal. Second: that it would interfere with
the market boats that unload of sell their pro-
■ dace there.
; In regard to the first objection, everybody
knows that the tunnel is utterly useless. No
boat has passed through it wo presume for a
years or moro, and probably such a foot
. will never hereafter be attempted. It cost a large
[4B oQllt< ?f money at first, end has remained uso
t less over since. .. .Nor is there any projeot on foot
..to bring it into nse; or any expectation that it
. Will ever be valuable as a part of tho canal. No
■ efforts are made to keep it Id repair; and it may
.’he fallen in by this time. Tho filth it gathers,
.and the. elHavia it engenders, render it a nui
-sannee; and, os a Banitary measure, it has been
'frequently proposed to fill It up. It is of no nse,
. then, -as a part of tho canal. ■
: Bnt this tunnel might be made of nse, and of
great value, by selling it to the Pittsburgh and
‘Bteubenville Railroad Company, to (be need by
them for conneoting their road directly with the
Central, or Pennsylvania road. Those roads
mast’ be connected, and that is tho purpose to
Which the tunnel should be applied. In no other
jsrey IS it likely ever to be of use, or repay to
the State any portion of its ooet. The connco-
tion Of the roads can be made in no other way,
without running all their freight and passenger
trains through some one or.other of the moat ac-
tire.streets of the oily. 'All know the objections
tV that; and it mo6t be obvious to every one
tistilUbat inoonvenienco can bo avoided by
usingthe tunnel In connecting the two roads;
and thus finding a valuable nee for a oostly work
at last. Such railroad tunnels under cities are
not uncommon— - jOaerailroad running into' Liv
erpool passes by a tunnel under ono of the most
valuable parts of that city. To such auseshould
the Pittsbnrgh tunnel be applied; it might be
covered then, and built over, from Pennsylvania
avenue almoßt to the Monongahela river
Butrio nsothe tunnel for that purpose it would
be nececessary to fill up the canal between
Seventh street and Liberty Btreet. The train
mast have an outlet at the northern end • and
elevation must be gained to come on to the'cen
traltstwiLOttiiberty. street. Ojii-city.cnr coun-
ty, and one citizens have eubaoribed liberally to
build onr,railroads. We look forward to tholr
completion, and the large business it le believed
they will do, as the means of increasing onr

prosperity. To Jo that business these roads
most have facilities, room and accommodations.
The city mast adapt itself to the absolute re.
quiremeuta of theso groat thoroughfares of tra
vel and trade, and then it 'can reap the advan
tages they will bring.
■ Now, is the partial nae of thit portion of the
canal between Seventh and Liberty atroets by
the Market boats, a sufficient reason for keeping
so much of the oanal open; rendering the tun
nel useless ; and stopping great pnblio improve
ments in which the whole country ia interested t
The market boats come in bht twice a wook for
a little more than hulf the year. There is no
other use for that portion of the oanal. Be
sides, it must be remembered that when tho Al
legheny Valley railroad is completed the produce
that now comes by tho canal market boats will
generally oome by that road, and tho use of the
market boats be in a great measure dispensed
with. Ia there suoh sufficient present and pros
pective uso of this small portion of oanal as to
forbid its appropriation to purposes infinitely
moro important and valuablo to the pnblio? We
think not. Tho market boats can bo aooommo
dated elsewhere so long as they ran. Thero nro
three doaks or basins to tho oanal in this oity—
ono extending to Spring Alley, in tho Fifth
Ward; one, and a large one, to Wayne street j
and another between Penn street and the Acque
dnet. These basins, and the banks of the oanal
botwoen Penn street and the river can accommo
date the market boats; and if dookago is charg
ed lot thoso interested pay it Accomodations
oan bo found for the market boats elsewhere,
and the oanal sonth of Liberty street, and the
tunnel, can be converted to purposes of groat
public utility. A oonneotion can thus be form
ed between two great pnblio highways for all
time to como, withoat the annoyance and dan
ger, of using tho pnblio streets for trains and
locomotives; and these great ohannols of trade
be accommodated with gronnds necessary to tho
speedy and convenient transaction of their busi
ness.
The pnblio has an interest in this matter;
and, if fairly and fully examined, we have no
doubt nine-tenths of oar people would vote cor
dially for tho measnro proposed in the bill bofore
the Legislature.
We publish below a copy of the bill:
An Act to authorizo tho vacation of that portion
of the Pennsylvania Canal between Liberty
street and the Monongahela river, in tho City
of Pittsburgh.
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and Houie
of Representative! of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania in General Assembly met, and it is hereby
enacted by the authority of the same, That the
owners of tho property on the lino of that por
tion of the Pennsylvania Canal between Liberty
street and the Monongahela river, in tho City of
Pittsburgh, aro hereby authorized to tike pos
session of, and fill up tho samo : Provided, That
they shall permit the Pittsburgh and Steuben
ville Railroad Company to lay thereon, without
oharge, their Tail road with single or double
tracks.
Sec. 2. That tho Commonwealth does hereby
release, relinquish, aesign and transfer unto the
owner or owners of tbo land ocoupied by that
part of said Canal, all the right, title, intorest
and claim of tho Commonwealth, of, in and to
the whole or any part of said land—subject to
tho conditions contained in the Proviso to the
first section of this Act.
Tne New Turk Herald, of the 20th, in
speakiog of tho Now York Banks and the money
market, sayß:—“ The amount of specie on hand
Is several millions larger than at any time during
1854, wbilo tbe deposits have Increased more
rapidly than any other item, showing an inactiv
ity of capiul, unusual at this season. The ple
thora of money aod accumulation of specie
toast lead to tho expansion of credits and exten
sion of enterpriao. Individuals haviog idle
oapital will look about for something to give it
employment, and however timid they may be at
first, it will gradually wear off, and we should*
not bo surprised to find them, ere tho lapse of
many months, involved in the wildest of specu
lations. Tho money market cannot continue
easy for any length of time without giving an
impotas to speculation.”

Wagon Road from the Pacific to the Mississippi—
Condition of the Miners—Prospects of the Min
ers Improving—A Large Lump of Cold—The
Markets—Steamboat Explosion— U. S. Senator.
Stockton, Cai., Janoary 30, 1855;
Editors Pott: —
The project of opening a wagon road and mail
ronte to the Atlantio States is exciting a great
deal of interest in the pnblio mind at present.
So much time haa been spent in talking about a
railroad to the Paoifio, and nothing accomplished,
that our people have determined to wait no
longer, and have gone to work with a will, for
the purposo of establishing an emigrant road
from California to Missoni, or some other point.
Meetings have been hold in nearly every city and
town in the State, and committees appointed for
the purpose of obtaining information in regard
to the practicability of the various routes pro
posed. A bill has also been Introduced in the
Legielatnre for «• an act to provide' for the sur
vey and eonstruotlon of a wagon road from the
Sacramento valley to the eastern boundary of
this State." There is every probability that this
road will bo built by the State as soon ns poßsl
ble, but if it should not,'then individual enter -
prise and capital will take bold of the work and
push It to a speedy completion.
I There oan be ho doubt about the practicability
of a stage route from the Paoifio to the valley of
the Mississippi, and, ob a railroad seems to be
out of the question at the present timo, Con
i gress should make an appropriation in aid of
. ‘ Wa important- movement. The citizens of San
i “ a “ 0i ‘ 00 formed a “ Pacific Emigrant
Road Association, appointed committees, and
set to work with zoaland activity. A circular has
■ been addressed to the people of this State gen
[ srally, with a view of eliciting information * and
. surveying parties are to be despatched through
. the various passes In the Sierra Nevadas, to as
certain which would bo tbo most practicable for
> a road. The people manifest a determination to
, push the work ahead, and It is expected that the
. Legislature will take prompt notion in the matter
—in which event, it is thought, the spring immi
gration will be greatly augmented.
Affairs in the mineß are in a better condition
i than they have been for some time past, caused
by the late rains; but there is still a great com
plaint of want of woter in many ports of the
mines. Present appearances indicate that we
will have more ram, and rain in the Southern
mines is always aooompanied by gold—if a per
son is lucky onongh to get It. There have been
somo big strikes” lately, which, of oouree, are
published to the world—nothing being said of
tho unfortunate and unlucky “hombres” who
“ can ’ 1 na 7 reJ ” A lump of gold ha’s been
found on Scott s river, which weighs 141 onnees •
n l ,” 6 i 9 m ono clttim •»
Btookton HIU, Calaveras oounty, yielded, on tho
18th inst, tho sum of $6,400, being tho fourth
big strike of the present season; the total
yield of this olaim for tho season is $2B 000
There are other claims that haro paid equally
well, but it is unnecessary to enumerate them
It is confidently believed by tho miners that if
wears favored with plenty of rain, thero will be
more gold token out this winter than has been
taken ont any season Binoe 1849.
Inactivity prevails in all branches of business;
the Flour market is particularly dull-domestic
selling at $10,60 p) bbl. and Galiego ond
Haxall at $16@16,60. Wheat is also dull •
smutty milling sells at 2Jo. tp ft. ; good milling
fit 230. t and choico milling at $2,00 100 Jba
There issomelnqniry for Barley, but the scarcity
of money prevents parties from paying the ad
vance, except for lota required for immediate
consumption; sales are reported at 2<3)2i0 <-1
lb. At present, there ore few transactions to

A disastrous steamboat explosion oocurrod on
the Bocramcnto river, on Saturday, tho 27th
inst. The steamer Pearl, from Maysville, as
eho was abont landing at her wharf at Sacra
mento, burst her boilers, carrying death and do
struction in every direction. The loss of life
was dreadfal, but tho precise number is not
known, and probably never will be ; np to last
night, 68 bodies had been recovered, and it was
thought a number| still remained in the river
Tho boat was comparatively now, and owned by
Uie Combination Line. It is asserted that the
Pearl wasraclogwiththesteamer Eoterpriee,of
the Citizen s Lino, and that bets had been made
by the officers of tbo two boats as to which
would reach Sacramento first. The authorities
of Sacramento aro investigating the matter, and
the true cause will doubtless be ascertained.
Those who witnessed the oxplosion from the
shorn describe tho sceno os tho most appalling
and heart-rending sight they ever beheld Man?
of the passengers were on their way down to
San Francisco, to take the steamer for tho At
lantio States, with the intentioa of visiting their
friends and relations, after an absence of seve
ral years—wbioh renders tho o cnrrcnco (if
enoh a thing wero possible) still more lamenta
ble.
The election of a United States Senator, to
take the place of William M. Gwln, is the kll
absorbiug topio amongst politicians, and it
would be no easy matter to guess bow it will ond.
Tho Senate and Assembly met In joint conven
tion on the 17th Inst., for the pnrposo of elect
ing a Senator. Tho result of the first ballot
was os follows: Gwln, 42; Edwards, 86; Mo-
Corkle, 14; Broderick, 12; MoDongal.2; scat
terlng, 4. Ail the candidates nro Democrats
excepting Mr. Edwards, who is the Whig nomi
nee and receives the full Whig vote. T% O bal
loting has been continued from d«v to day over
since, with bnt littlo variation; and a resolution
was introduced in the convention to adjourn
Jins dia, whioh was voted down. It is evidently
tho intention of tho opponents of Mr. Gwln to
postpouo tho election of a Senator until next
session ; but whether they will succeed or not,
it would be hard to say. The thirtieth ballot
was had on the 26th, ns follows: Gwin 89 • Ed
wards, 86; Broderick, 18; MoCorkio, 12;’ Mo-
Dougal, 8; scattering, 6—wholo number of votes
cast, 108; necessary to choioe, 66. Tho con
vention-adjourned over until to-day. Itfo gene
rally believed that, unless Gwin should bo sno
oesaful, there will bo no Senator chosen this ses
sion—as it is not very likely that the Whigs and
the democrats who are opposed to Mr. Gwin
will unite.
The dull times have had their effeot upon the
atrioal and other exhibitions. Tho two theatres
in San Frauciaoo, tho Metropolitan and Ameri.
oon, aro soarooly paying expenses, although tho
attractions presented nro of the finest order.
The Stookton theatre has been open for two
weeks past, and doing a moderate business: on
next Thursday evening, Mr. and Mrs. Barney
Williams will appear, when tho house will be
Mled every night, of course. Mr. and Mrs.
Williams have been delighting the citizens of
the mining towns for tho paßt month, and had
orowded houses everywhere. Tho Sacramento
theatre opened laßt week. Tho Baokus and

Opinions at the Proas*— -The following Is
from Qen. George P. Morris, in the Home Journal, of No
vember 7,1846.
All editors profess to bo the guardians of the rights of the
people, and to keep them advised, through their columns,
of whatever shall arise for their benefit. We will live op
to tms letter, and inform them thaUthe'most wonderful
and valnable medicine for their general use ever invented,
is 41 1)ALLEY’S MAGICAL PAIN EXTRACTOR.” Its vir
tues are so rare, mighty and eccentric, that often they ap
pear to work more like miracles than by science, so effective,
electric, and astounding are Its powers on the human body,
that, though now It is dally Iried by thousands of people!
not one of this great mass bat Is delighted beyond compar
ison, and candidly confess they, bn no consideration, will
ever again bo without it.
The inventor, Mr. H. Dailey, has wisely kept the seoretto
himself Counterfeits are busy obout it, but without suc
cess. Its overwhelming merits defy all competition, and its
peculiarities analysis. We confidently commend all parents
to seek Us acquaintance, for surely such a friend, who laughs
at death and suffering, restores the blind, lame, halt, and
scarred to perfection, and all from pain, Is “ a friend in
deed.”
We wbh tbe discoverer of this mighty blessing, who is a
real benefactor to maukind, God speed.
