Gen. Anaya was elected President of Mexico on the I lib inst. He has once before been Pro visional Pi evident. His present trm of olfica extends only to the 8th of January next. He is known to be In favor of peace. Informing bis cabinet he continued Mora y Villt&nil in the War Dcpsitinnt, and made Pena y Pena, Ute the President, his Secretary of State. The whole administration is in favor of an honorable peace, and one of Its first acts was to dispatch a com misoii to the city of Mexico to reopen negotia tionswitb Mr. Trist. The commissioners were Senors Conto, Aristian and Cuevas and General Hibcen, the first two bavin; been on the former cnrr.misiion. Mr. Trist'a powert had been re voked prior to the arrival of the commission and a Gen. Scott possessed no powers lo treat with them it is presumed they were referred to our Government at Washington. The next most important intelligence by ibis arrival ia the reported arrest ol Gen. Worth, Gen. Pillow and Lieut. Col. Duncan, by Geu. Scott, t he resort is tbst letieis written by these gen tlemen reflecting upon the commander-ill chief hue fallen into his possesion, upon which he at once arrested them. We have not yet received any letters from the city of Mexico later than the 2 ltd ol November. They make no mention of these arrests, but we have letters on the Ma lia Cuit from the city of Mexico, which we pre sume will elucidate the whole matter.

On the 8th inst., tbirty-six wagons belonging to merchants in this city and Puebla, left the lat lei place with a lo: of tobacco, dry goods and biai.dy, destined for this city.

Roberts. ' When they reached Tlascala they found tht enemy there, and Capt.

Since Tuesday last, the weather baa been cold, which will prove most acceptable to poultry dealers and sausage makers. fX Poci.TtT The late warm weather pro ved some what injurious to poultry dealers- A huckster, with about two hundred dressed tur kies, was obliged to throw his whole cargo over board, on tht load between thit and Polttville, a few weeks since. C7" PlTISUl KO AD CONOELSVILLK RaILROAD Comcant The legislature, last winter, passed a supplementary law, autboiising this company to transfer their stock to make a road West Iroin Pittsburg. Part of tbe stockholders have accepted the terms of tha new art, and elected their President and officeis. The stockholders lavorable to the original route have done the same. As the rase now stands, there are tttn companies organized under one t barter, both clai ming to be the right one. Tax oh Nr.wrrtns We are pleased to see that a determined effort will be made to repeal tbe law taxing postage on newspapers within lh county, or under thirty miles. Tbe inequality of the present law, aud tbe injustice it indicts on the country Press, is beginning to be seen by members of Congress The number ol letters sent through the msils last year, is a bout 55 millions. The number of newspapers about the same. The increase of postage on let ters, last yesr, over the year prrcerding, is $372, 813 21, w hile the increase on newspaper postage, over last year after deducting 35,609 23 paid by the British government, for carrying her closed mails from Boston to Canada, is only about $45, 000. And it is probably fair to attribute about tbe one batf of this sum, say 922,000, to the an nusl increase of papers, which, during a period of war may be considered under, than over tbe mark Here, then the whole reading portion of the Union with its two thousand Presses is an noyed and subjected to a great deal of vexation as well as expense, to save the paltry sum of (S3 000 ; making piobably, on an average, a lit tle more than SlOon the issue nf each Press, w hich is probably not one half the expense in rurred by tbe publishers on account of this mia erable law. Cy The news from .Mexico is of a more pa cific character tban any that has been received during the war. Geo. Anaya tbe newly elected President is of tbe peace parly, and he has cho sen for Jiis cabinet, men of lha ssme character. Mr. Trist having been recalled, there ia now no one authorized to treat with Ike Mexican com missioners. Tbese appears also lo be some diffi culty with our Generals. Gen. Scott, it ia aaid bat arrested Gena. Worth sod Pillow. 1X7 Tbe city papers are loud in their com plaints against the Post Master General, for not continuing the anail on tha rail road between Washington and Richmond. Tbe proprietors of tbat road exacted more than the law allowa, and performed lest service than most of the roads. We dooot think tbe Post Matter General it to blame in this instance. He could not well have acted other wise, without submitting tot (rots imposition. 07" The friends -of Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Dallas are at loggerheads in Philadelphia.

Hotsx Tbe speaker announced the report of the Select Committee on the rules of ordeis which was taken up, and the question recurring on agreeing to a aubstitute for part of the origi nal report, which substitute extends the time that each member may occupy in debating any question in tbe House or in Committee of the Whole to an hour and a half, but givea a member reporting any measnre from committee, tht right to open and close a debate, and allows, where a debate is closed, by order of the House any member five minutes to explain in Commit tee of the Whole any amendment he may offer. Mr. Pollock moved to strike out the words "and a half," in effect restoring the one hour rule, with modification noticed. A debate ensued, in which Messrs.

Tut (im.D ur Ri ssia. The spectacle of the Emnernr Nicholas romine to the aasiitanee of the finances of western Europe has surprised ma- ' 1 ny, especially when it is remembered that twen ty years ago Russia, now apparently the richest, was the poorest of the fire great powers. This sudden rise to wealth is owing to the discovery and working of the gold mines in the Ural moun tains Thet mines were known in the dsys of Herodotus, but subseqnently lost sight of, nor was it until the close of the last century that their tretsuries were again brought to ligl.t. In 1823 they were first regularly worked. Up to that period, all the gold found in northern Russia amounted annually but to 450.000 dollars ; while the product of the Ural mines for 1810 w as com puted at three millions of dollars. This was e qual to the whole quantity of gold furnished, in that year, by all the rest of the globe. Hence Russia may be conflicted, at present the ereat mine from whii h this precious metal is to be fur bished to the civilized world. This increase of the quantity nf gold in circulation is fortunate for commerce, the demand for a specie currency increasing annually, the world over. The average contribution by the English rail ways to the local and parish rates every year, a mounts to five per rent, of their earning, aaid to be nearly 9,000,000 a year.
