The Effect on Trade. The Nrvv York Times of Saturday oflcrnoon savs—‘*The foreign advices appear to hare had little effect upon general business. Although a slight decline in cotton had obtained on the other side, yet the stock here is so small (loss than 1000 bales) and consequently the operations are so limbed, there being almost nothing doing lor export, that no perceptible effect has been observ ed.

MTNTOSH, C. C. P. Oct. 29, 1640. The election of Gen. William H. Harrison as President of the United States, by a triumphant majority of the States, end an overwhelming majority of the people of the United States—a majority eo derisive as to put cavil out of the question, and to demonstrate beyond a doubt, the \ potency of the popular will in his favor—ought to bring as a natural result, ar d consequence, peace, ca!mpe«s, and rest to the nation. The j whole subject of the Presidentship having been j actively canvassed for two years, with an unpre cedented urgree of excitenr. nt, the public, in con clusion. with unprecedented unanimity, have de- j cided against the Administration, and in favor of the newly-choscn Chief Magistrate. Men and I measures, on the one side, have been condemned totally and entirely, and m* n and measures, on the other, as completely upheld. Now, then, let the popular voice be respected, the will of the pcoplo be acquiesced in, the public judgment re garded. G:re the new Administration a fair and impartial trial. To announce, in advance, after what has taken place, a determination to put the elements at' political* strife again in commotion, would be to show a spirit of factions opposition --an opposition designed to thwart and resist the ! wishes of the people. Gen. Harrison will not be a candidate for rc-clection. At (he end of four j years he will voluntarily lay aside his office and his honors, and go once more, and forever, into the bosom of retirem nt. During those four years, he will devote him-elf to the coon or his country. Let us a!!, then, unite in sustaining the patriot hero in his honest and praisewor* j thy efforts. —Alexandria Gazette. Loss or the Steamer Flying Dutchman. — 'I he steamboat Wilmington, arrived yesterday, | reports the Flying Dutchman sank at Dead-man’s j Bar, w.ih two hundred tons of freight, princi , pally sugar, ail of which is lost.

In the time of war hip emoluments from bis office amounted to between $336,000 ana 384,000. Important Rumor. —We find the following in the New York Commercial Advertiser of the I Cth : There is a report in circulation which we do not for a moment credit, but which may by pos sihility be true. Since the overthrow of the ad ministration is so tremendous, it is beginning to j be whispered that Mr. Van Buren may now so j arrange matters as to prevent any Jvolcs being i ca p t for him. and then assume the position that ; he was not a candidate ! This, it is said, may consistently be done, because ho has never writ ten any letter accepting the Baltimore nomina- J tion. He would then, it is surmised, throw him- i seif upon the democratic ground that no Ptosi- t • dent might to he re-elected. His friends would then assume that attitude, and bring him forward j for the succession after General Harrison’s teim of service expires. All this is plausible, but not probable. As well might Napoleon have retriev ed himself a f ter the battie of Waterloo, as Mr. ' Van Buren recover from the unprecedented over throw he has experienced at the hands of the people. An Example. The N. Y. Sun states that one of the clauses of the statute regulating railways in Great Britain enacts that it shall be lawful for any cnc in the employ of a railway company, and ail such per- 1 sons as he may call to his assistance, to seize and detain any engine driver, porter or other servant in the employ of any company, who shall be found drunk while employed upon the railway, or commit any offence against any of the regula tions of said company ; or shall do oi omit to do, any act whereby any person passing on such . railway may he injured or endangered, or where by an engine or carriage may be impeded. Col. Johnson's old distrust in Kentucky. —The Vice President has. been traversing Ohio. Michigan, and Indiana during the late Presiden tial campaign, exhibiting himself in the discour teous attitude of claiming more credit for his con duct at the Thames than history warrants, and attempting to lessen the claims of his Command-' cr-in-Cbief. In all these Slates Ills conduct has rather added to the Whig vote, whilst, in the j mean time, his own Congressional district in | Kentucky, where Mr. Van Buren obtained a ; majority of more than 1,000 in 183 G, has given j him the slip, and shows a majority for MarrUon jof 2.51. In Scott, his own county, Mr. Van Bu , ren only received a majority of 85. In oilier day* this county has l>een good for so 600 i majority fur Col. Johnson —Alexandria Gazette.
