. . . Trade of the Itio . Grande. The intelligent Deputy of Matatrioras,xnd Pres ident of the State Congressof Tamaulipas; Senor Lo. Mumble, has submitted a proposition td that body, to petition the General Government of .Ittexiccieto enter into negotiations with the Amer inan Government, in relation to the improvement of the navigation of the Rio Grande. ,Mr. John T; Hughes, a resident of the Upper Rio Grande, describes the fruitful valley of El-Paso, in' the most glowing colors.. "This settlement," he says, "extends from the falls of the Rio Grand on the north to the Presidio on the south, a distance of 22 miles, and is one continuous orchard and vine yard, embracing in its ample area and industri ous population of at least 8,000. It is situated nearyl .- Indway b - etween - Santa - Feand Chihuahua, - • Its breadth is about ten miles.. Its chief produc tions, at present, are fruits and wines, the latter amounting to 200,000. gallons annually. From this cultivated point on the river,Mr. Hughes re commonds that a canal should be constructed to the head waters of navigation, whiCh he says can be done with great facility and ara moderate ex pence. The fertile valleys of the Puerco and tribituary streams below, are also said to be highly productive, and to offer great attractions to an industrious and enterprising people. The valley of the Lower Rio Grande is described as being adopted to the culture of the sugar cane and cotton, and oranges, figs, olives and other tropical fruits. Cheese Factories in Ohio C. C. Wick, Esq., has begun making cheese on a large scale at Ashtabula, Ohio. He commands, the product of 1,100 cows, c,wned in that and ad jacent townships, and employs men and teams who every morning take prescribed routes vary ing from five to ten miles each, and gather the ocurds," which are neatly sacked by the dairiman and the brciught to the factory, where the process of "cheese making" is completed. This furnish es employ for a large number of men and wo men, and by the aid of recent improvements and machinery much of the labor requisite is render ed light, more convenient and simple than the Us ual mode. He had a few days since about 3,000 cheese on hand, made within about thirty days, and for beauty and fine flavor they are notrio be excelled. The weight of "curds" daily received amount in the aggreate to some 3,500 lbs., and the number of cheese made daily about 75, va rying, somewhat as regards size. They are put up in sacks and intended fur the English, West India and California trades, and vary from 15 to 35 pounds—the former we believe are intended exclusively for the California market. There are other similar cheese factories, where the far mers can dispose of their "curds" to advantage. We should think it an excellent arrangement. Gen• Taylor and Slavery The Washington Union puts the inquiry direct to the Republic—go the event of the passage of a law containing the Wilmot Proviso, or any similar provision, will Gen. Taylor veto it, or will he approve itl" This query is unnecessary, if the Union has marked Gen. Taylor's position. If Congress should pass the Wilmot Proviso, or any similar provision, Gen. Taylor will sign it. If not, he violates the pledge given to the people. And again, if Congress should pass a law allowing slavery in New Mexico and California, he will sign that! He is bound not to oppose the wish es of the people, as expressed through their rep=, resentatives. Neither the North nor the South' can expect legislation from • the President; but either' and both have a right to expect that he will not oppose his veto to the action of Congress, on a question which the action of the govern ment, since its establishment, has shown to be constitutional. New Gold Washer.—We were shown, says the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, the model of a new machine called the •Water Saving Gold Washer," invented by Mr. Michael English, of Lagro, Indiana, who is in this city superintend ing the construction of a quantity of machines at the establishment of Mr. Tyson in Vine Street. Mr. English's machine serms to be more-simple and sensible than any that we have seen.' It will weigh less titan 20 pounds, but is at the same time made of sue% durable materials that it can not readily get out of order. It is worthy the no tice a persons going to the gold region.

A Theory Spoiled.—The plan proposed by some of the Western men, and on which the Western editors have been speculating, of making the Ohio river navigable at all seasons by turning into it the waters of Lake Erie, has been prema- turely spoiled by a philosopher in the Cleveland Plaindealer, who says that that !.the Ohio river is about two hundred and sixty-five feet above the level of Lake Erie," and proves it by calcu lation. If this is the case we have anotherylan. They say the Mississippi runs up stream, and is high er at its mouth than at Cairo.

The eleventh President of the United States is no more. Mr. Polk died on Fri day night, the 15th of June, near Nashville, of a chronic diarrhoea, after a very short ill riess.--President Harrison closed his career within a month of, the day of his entrance upon the duties of His office ; President Polk, in about three months after his term had ex pired. Of eleven 0-Presidents, Messrs. Van Buren and TAii"alone remain among us. Mr. PolleroU the youngest man ever inaugurated 4President ; only 49 years and 4 months old when he took office. His con nexions'Were members of the old Revolu tiontiry party who had aided and favored in dependence before & during the War of 1776. James - Knor - Polls - was - born - in - M ecklen= burgh County, North Carolina, November 2, 1795, and at the time of his disease was 53 years and 7 months old. His father is, we think, still alive—he was a fanner, and re moved to Tennessee in 1806, when Jarries . K. Polk was in his eleventh year. James K. is the oldest of ten children—acquired the rudiments of an English and classical ed ucation near his home, and after years of suffering from a very painful complaint, was relieved by a surgical operation. He gain ed high honors at the University of North Carolina—tens assiduous, persevering, and cre o gular in his attendance—a good mathe matical and clasaical scholar. In 1819, he began, to study the law with the celebrated Felix Grandy of Nashville, was admitted as a membe'r-nf- the bar of Tennessee in 1820, and was wellhemployed in his line. He serv ed as Clerk to the Tennessee Legislature, was next a member for v paury, his place of residence, and in 182o,itx his 30th year, elected to Congress. If he was opposed to a National Bank, he hesitated to express that opinion for the first two years he sat in Congress, but after Mr. Van Buren went to Washington as Secretary,.to wit, in August ,1830, Mr. Polk began to give the Ten nesseeians some hints about "the monster." Andrew Jackson stated in 1844, that he had known James K. Polk friim his boy hood, and that "a citizen more exemplary in his moral deportment, more punctual and exact in business, more energetic and manly in his expression of his opinions, and more patriotic does not live." Upward of twenty-four years since he married the daughter of Joel Childers, Esq., 'a merchant of Rutherford county, Tennes see. Mr. Polk had no children—was un ostentatious, quiet, domestic and religious— not fond of show, dancing, dissipation and late hours.—Mr. Polk was a member of the Presbyterian Church. It is greatly to his credit that he had the reputation of being no duelist, no gambler, but a steady opponent to speculation. He was fourteen years in Congress, and two orApree of these years Speaker, having been' hosen in December, 1835, and in September, 1837. No more thorough going party man could be found than Polk—he was very industrious, and while on the floor of Congress was reported never to have missed a vote. As he receiv ed a vote of thanks at the close of the session of 1837, for his impartiality as Speaker, it may be inferred that he had great control over his temper. He was a ready debater; delivered long and animated speeches, and was one of the few hard-working legislators in his day. In his intercourse with the pub lic he was affable and courteous : his voice was strong but intilical ; he was clear head ed, and capable of grasping, comprehending and explaining, complicated matters of pub lic interest; a polite and attentive listener,; and ao regular and devout in early life that Governor Branch affirms that during the four years that ho was at college he [Mr. Polk) never once:missed-prayers._ His personal character wasillk.....proacha ble. "Of Mr. Polk, as a private gentleman, and as known to us in his social and domes tic relations," said the editors of the Nation al Intelligencer, "we have no, ,disposition to speak any otherwise than wit .en tire respect.' During his Presidentiayterm,,Mr. Polk had the fortune to connect —_ yl and permanently, with so e most im portant events of the age. • His death at this time affects no public interest, and Makes no organization or policy of any Is departure from a. scene .y he has played so active a ,e a universal sensation of soli .t. Take in connexion with —or and the history of the times, his death adds another to the long catalogue of illusteations of the oft-quoted but striking sentiment of Burke,--,"What shadows . we are, and what shadows we pursue."
