The inlcllience brought by the last steamer- from California, seems to indi cate that the annexation to the United States is the all-absorbing question now in the Sandwhich Islands. The impres sion appears to be that the United States Commissioner, Mr. Gregg, was still en gaged in efforts to effect a treaty. The king is understood to be in favor of it, but the heir apparent, Prince Liholiho, who is young, intelligent and ambitious, ha been withheld through foreign influences, who promise him nobility and wealth if the islands are annexed to auy other gov ernment than the united States, and frighten him with the idea of his annihi lation in this union, where, they tell him. the dark skins are despised. Still, by feathering the nests of the king, prince and chief nobles, no doubt was ielt oi a final consent. . The speech delivered by Mr. Miller, the British Consul, to the King and Chiefs, protesting, on the part of his government, against annexation, seems to have excited ititense indignation among the Americans iu Honolulu,' and the probibility is that he could not, in any other way, have more effectually contributed to produce the result he aimed at defeating. Apn vatc letter addressed to the N. 1. Cour ier dated the Sth ult., from the U. S. sloop St. Mary, contains the following on the subieet ; "The ansri" felt about filibtlsiers here', line oliino In .1 ft rent measure, suicided U 44 j i H w v j - ' Kumor says that King Kamchameha, has signed the treaty ceding the Island to the United States, and is only waiting for the return of Prince Liho liho, (bet ter known as Alexander,) to obtain his signature, and actually deliver up his kingdom. But ever' thing is kept as secret as possible by those who know anything of tho matter, which, of course, gives rise to many rumors. The U. S. sloop Portsmouth is here, as well as our selves. To-day, II. B. M's. frigate Trin eomalce, arrived 15 days from San Fran cisco. "I think it probable that you in the United States know more of the progrsss of the annexation project than we do. But two whale-ships have as yet arrived here, and the reports from the whaling fleet are generally discouraging. Every thing is quiet. The market is overstock ed, aud a large 'assorted cargo, just re ceived by the ship Living Age, from Bos ton, is lying on the consignees' hands. Annexation will give a new impulse to business.'

New Youk, Nov. 25. Judge Hoffman decided to-day that the stock of the New Haven Railroad Company, alledged to have been iradulcntly issued by Mr. Schuvler, is good and valid stock, and must come in, pro rata, with the other portion of the stock, on the capital of 3, 000,000. The principle was, that the stockholders having authorized Mr. Schuyler to issue stock, and thereby to bring in new partners, they are bound by his acts. The effect will be to reduce the value of the whole of the shares, (includ ing alleged fraudulent issue,) so as to make the aggregate equal the capital by law.

' - The presidential ubjecjras not before the.convcutiotX." - " Chief Justice Taney on. Usury. A most important decision on the usu ry law was delivered yesterday by Chief Justice laney in the tinted States cir cuit court now in session in this city. A question of u?uary arose in the case of Dill vs. Ellcott and Ellicott, an appeal from the decision of Judge Glenn. The plea of U3ury was made, when the Chief Justice delivered his opinion upon the law as understood and set forth by the new constitution. The decision was to the effect that if a greater rate of intrest than six per cent, was demanded and ob tained upon it promissory note or draft, the contract was by the act vitiated, and the holder of the ponnso could neither rcc over the interest nor principal by a suit at law. This decision upsets the law of 1845, which enabled the holder to recov er the principal, together with the legal rate of interest. This decision is import ant, but can have but little effect on mon etary transactions whilst there are so many ways to evade the law, which is onerous aud oppressive. Money, like any other species of property, is a merchant able article, and is at all times worth what it can bring ; nor can the passage of laws to regulate the rate or interest have any good effect. We shall, as soon as, it is obtained, give the decision of Chief Justice Taney in full, as the source from whence it emanates gives to it a greater importance. Rait. Amcr, Curing Hams. A New Englander,' furnishes the Ccr- mantown 'Telegraph' with the annexed receipt for curing hams. Some of our ag ricultural friends hereabouts who have the best hams in market, put them up af ter nearlj' the same method : To everr one thousand pounds of hams, take eight ounces of saltpetre, two quarts of molasses, and two quarts of salt; mis with water. After settling for two or three hours before introducing the hams, rack off, and throw out the sediments from the bottom; cover the meat with the brine, and repack once a week, changing the position of the hams. In six weeks the hams may be taken to the smoke room. After smoking, they may be returned to the brine, and kept through the summer. If preferable the meat may remain in the brine and be taken out and smoked as it is required for use. It will be found al waj's in a good condition, and is, when smoked, an excellent article. An important egg trade is carried on iu the markets of San Francisco. The Faralloncs de los Fraylcs, a group of roek y islets, lying a little more than twenty miles west of the entrance to the bay of San Francisco, are the resort of innumer able sea-fowl, known by the fishermen as "murrcs" These islands are almost inac cessible, and, with a single exception, arc uninhabited. They, therefore, very nat urally afford a resort for great multitudes of birds. Some time since a company was organized in San Francisco, for the purpose of briuging the eggs of the mur rcs to market. An imperfect idea of the numbers of these birds may be formed from the fact that this company sold in that city the last season, (a period of less than two months, July and parts of June and August,) more than five hundred thou sand eggs ! AH these were gathered on a single-one of these islands, and, iu the opinion of the eggers, not more than one egg in six of those deposited on that island was gathered. The es are three aud a half inches in length, and arc esteemed a great delicacy. Rising of the Ohio River--The-Money Market. Cincinnati, Nov. 25.
