SEPT. 21. M the east end of the City of London, and within gunshot range of London bridge, stands en ancient royal fortress. Uncontrolled by either the Home Depurtment or the Horse Guards, the Katrina is under the immediate control of the sovereign; and so troops are allowed fo march in or out except by a royal mandate issued through the SY.CRETART-AS WAR. To carry on the government of this fortress there is a constable, a lieutenant, a deputy-lieutenant, and a major, whose united salaries amount to 4,00 W. a year—a sum equal to the salary of the First Lord of the Treasury ; but there is this difference be tween the two cams the Prime Minister has a great deal to do; the officials of the Tower—nothing. When we sly nothing, we mean compara tively so ; for of the four—constable, lieu tenant, deputy lieutenant, and major—there is but one resides on the spot, and he is the Major, whose duty is to take charge of "the key"--• sort of upper gatekeeper. The charge of that key is a es reebOnlefle as well as costly affair. Every night, all the Beef-eaten (we beg their pardoe th e Yeo men of th e Gaeta) womb'', armd with ' their hal berts, at the dreaded hour of midnight,and carry the key in prove-sion to the quarters of the Maks of the Tower; the guard turns out, the Akar en biz 'eying as they approach, " Who COONS there r "Keys," is the reply. "What keysr "Qom VICTORIA'. keys." " Pass Queen liICTORLIeII keys." Guard present arms. God hiss Queen Vienna* bye. Away go the keys to the Major, ;—and this seats 400 W. a year. la the year 1833, a parliamentary committee re commended that these ceremonious and costly situa tions should be abolished at the death of their several holders, bet the committee in 1848 found them still tilled—though some had passed into other hands. It was then discovered that in 1833 a very important item had been overlooked, which was, that the eon stable, by patent of his office, appointed all subordi nate Miters, and therefore no change could be made till this patent expired. Four thousand pounds may not be very much, but the number of these small an seminary situations ism numerous that too strict ea eye cannot be kept on them. The necessity for such vigilance is shown by the fact that in the short space. of 17 years, from 1833 to 1830, no less than 81 of these sinecures became vacant, giving back to the public upwards of 13,0001. a year—yet three-fifths of the useless alas have been reined by =niters officers.

This morning she passed the screw steamer Sarah Sands, for Australia. The Asia experienced heal winds all her passage, which occupied 11 days 211 hours. The Arctic arrived at New York at 10.43 p.m on the sth inst. The Asia, in addition to the usual mails, carries 75 passetigere, and specie to the amount of 784,443 dole. in freight. Madame Sontag had arrived in New York, and met with a most enthusiastic reception. Telegraphic accounts have been received from Havana to the 3rd instant, which state that Ameri cans have been prohibited from landing at Cubs, and that the police had made further arrests of some of the parties connected with the Voice of the People : An inquest had been held on the body of Miss Addison, the actress, and a verdict of "Death from congestion of brain " returned. Accounts from New Orleans state that a terrible earthquake, which occurred at Santiago de Cuba on the 20th ult., destroyed a large number of buildings. Another terrific steam-boat accident had taken place on the Hudson river, by the explosion of the steam pipe of the Reindeer steamer, on the 4th in stant, by which thir . ty . persons were killed, and six teen others severeiy injured. It appmrs by the report of the committee on the communication of the comptroller, relative to the taxes of 1852, as presented to the board of super visors on the evening of the 6th, and ordered to be printed, that there is an excess of nearly 600,000 dole. expenditure over the appropriation provided by law ; and that the taxable property hes increased since the let of January, 1850, to the extent of 65,621,378.09 dole., whilst the rate of taxation has advanced, and is continuing to advance. The safety of the ship Staffordshire, of Boston, is a great relief to the underwriters of that city. She was insured foe 400,000 dole. It was reported in the Valparaiso Reporter of the 15th of Toly, that she had been totally lost in the South Pacific. She reached San Francisco on the 13th ult. Two more riots occurred at Philadelphia on the night of the 4th between some of the firemen, during the progtew done of which a man paid the penalty of his folly with his life. He attempted to rescue one of his companions who had been arrested, when the officers shot him, and he expired immediately. Quite a number were wounded during the affray, 1 7 shots that were fired among the crowd, and with bricks and stones that were thrown by the com batants. The firemen of Philadelphia have already acquired a rather unenviable notoriety for riotous propensities. The new House line of telegraph between Wash ington and New York has been completed as far as Wilmington, Delaware. From Albany we have an account of another at tempted outrage by a party of anti-renters, which resulted in the death of one of the gang, and the wounding of one or two others. It appears that on Saturday night they went, disguised u Indians, to the house of Mr. Shaw, whom they tarred and feathered a few weeks ago, in addition to burning his outbuildings, and upon his refusing to come out they threatened to set fire to his house. As a means of self-defence Mr. Shaw discharged the contents of a revolver among the party, which had the effect of killing one of them, named Whitbeck, and making , his companions fly with all speed. It is singular that, in one of the oldest, most enlightened, and by far the wealthiest states in the Union, them anti rent desperadoes should have been so long permitted to commit deeds of violence with impunity, and that while the law slumbers, worthy citizens are com pelled to take the lives of these rioters in order to protect their persons and property from devastation.

The legislature was convened for the special purpose of taking steps to insure the emo tion of psipublic buildings. A regular pitched battle has been fought near Table Rook, between a large party of Indians and the whites, in which 30 or 40 In were killed. A treaty of peace was elude immediately after the fight, on the most advantage ous terms. The miners on Klamath, Salmon and Rogue rivers are doing well. Several rich discove ries have recently been made. One man washed out of a fifty pound sack of dirt, 1,017 dols. 60c. Another took out on Rogue River a piece of gold weighing 600 dole. Many parties are making very large sums daily, while other, are doing but little. The mines are yielding much better than ever before. CALIFORNIA. The steamship Northern Light arrived on the 7th in New York, bringing dates from San Fran cisco to the 14th ult. The Northern ' ht brings the waengsrs brought down from San by the steamship Pacific, and left San Juan on the 30th of August. The passage is than made through in a little over 23 day. The Northern Light brings 312,000 dole. in gold dust. The British steamship Great Western, from As pinwall and Navy Bay, was at San Juan. The health of San Juan was good, and the weather very a..

Chinese villages are springing up through the dig gings, Pekin, Canton, and Hong Kong are among the names already given to these Celestial settle ments, some of which contain fifteen hundred souls. A trood opinion of the diggings about Mokelumnc Hill is entertained and promulgation by the Calave ras Chronicle. " Large lifts," it seems, are frequent in that section. One thousand miners are said to be working on the upper waters of the San Joaquin, and earning from 2 dole. to 5 dole. per day. The trial of William Hays and John Conlon, for desertion, and the murder of Colonel Craig on the Desert, took place at San Diego on the ..:9th and 30th ult. Hays confessed the murder of Colonel Craig, and asked to be shot—not hung. The verdict of the Court Martial had not been rendered when the Ohio left. Statistics have been published, showing that 51,000 people have arrived at San Francisco since the let of January last. It is fair to estimate the arrivals by sea during the remainder of 1852 at 35,000, making 86,000 increase of population from that source for the current year. From present indications, the overland immigration cannot be less than 40,000, which will swell the number of people who will visit California during the season to 126,000. Allowing for the number who will leave the state, it will still be within bounds to estimate the increase of popula tion for the present year at about 100,000. At this rate California will soon be one of the most populous states in the Union, and its people are speculating on the probability that, after the census of 1860, they will very likely have sufficient political influence to turn the scale in a Presidential election in favour of which party they choose. From a recent estimate, believed to be correct, it appears that there are 4,330 houses in San Fran cisco, which are presumed to contain seven persons each—making the population of this city about thirty thousand. Five years ago the little town of San Francisco contained a few houses built of sun-dried brick, and had a population of less than 400. Four years ago the population was still less than 1,000. The bare mention of these facts is the most appro priate commentary on the unparalleled progress of the city—a city whose commerce is felt throughout the world, whose exports are more than 75,000,000 dollars per annum. According to a provision in the constitution, a new census will be taken of California this year. Agents have been appointed for each county in the state, who are now performing their labours. The census will be completed before the bulk of the overland immigration reaches the country, and must fall at least 50,000 short of giving the actual number of in habitants. The population of California will pro- bably reach 330,000 before the Ist of January next. The number of French people in California is esti- ' mated at 22,000. In San Francisco they are nume rous enough to sustain a (el-weekly newspaper of fair proportions in the French language. The death of Mr. Gilbert, the senior editor of the Alla California, is thus noticed in the Sacramento Daily Union Extra: " It becomes our painful duty to announce the deplorable termination of a duel, by which the community has lost a gentlemanly and honourable member, and the editorial profession an able, honest, and worthy brother. This morning, at sunrise, a hostile meeting took place at Oak Grove, between Hon. Edward Gilbert, senior editor of the Alta California, and General J. W. Denver, State Senator from Trinity county. The immediate cause of this lamentable affair was a card published by Gen. Denver, reflecting upon the personal character of Mr. Gilbert. Of the merits of the controversy this is not the time nor place to speak, Mr. Gilbert challenged the adverse party. The weapons selected were Wesson's rifles, and distance forty paces. After the first inter- , change of shots, neither of which took effect, the weapons were reloaded and the word given, when Mr. Gilbert fell almost instantly, having received the shot of Gen. Denver in the left side, just above the hip. The ball pierced the abdomen, and passed entirely through his body, coming out on the right, almost directly opposite the point where it entered. Mr. Gilbert survived but four or five minutes after the occurrence, and without a word, or scarcely a groan, his spirit passed from earth. His body was immediately conveyed to the Oak-grove House, where the sad duty of preparing it for its last resting place was performed. The most intense sensation was produced throughout the city on the receipt of the mournful intelligence, and all seemed to unite in the sincere sorrow evinced at the un fortunate issue of the encounter, and in the deep and heartfelt sympathy expressed for the surviving rela tives of the deceased." Adviisis from the Sandwich Islands are to the 10th of July. The Hawaiian parliament was ptorogued on the Bth of that month. Captain C. A. Virgin had been acknowledged u oonaul of Sweden and Norway, at the Sandwich Wanda. The Swedish barque Sarmiento, with 240 pas sengers, from Panama for San Francisco, had put into the Sandwich Islands short of provisions. On the 21st of Maya fearful tragedy was enacted on board. A young man by the name of Woolfork, about nineteen years of age, from Kentucky, shot a German named Johnson through the heart. The origin of this business was a dispute about a tin cup, of which Woolfork had two and the German none. In the hasty altercation the handle was wrenched off, when Woolfork drew his revolver and shot Johnson dead. A scene of the greatest excitement ensued. The murderer was seised-114 voted that he should be hung, 32 against it, and the remainder neutral. A judge was appointed; ajury of twelve empanneled ; the prisoner found guilty of murder, and sentenced to be hung within one hour. During the interval between the sentence and execution, the dead body of the murdered German was brought on deck, the preparation made, and after allowing the condemned man a quarter of an hour over his time, he was run up the yard arm, where life soon became extinct. Hu was then cut adrift, fell upon his face into the sea, and continued to float until left out of sight by the vessel. On the 25th of May, water was sold for 1 dol. per bottle by those of the passengers who required less than some of their fellows. From the 19th of June to the 3rd of July, the passengers had no bread. There were eleven women and two children on board, one of each of whom died before reaching San Bias. Six others died on board besides the murderer and murdered. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. New You, Bart. 8. The activity in the stock market continues, and there are no sound dividend paying stacks pressing on the market. The fall business is now in the full tide of successful operation, and an immense amount of business is daily transacted. The demand for money continues:quite active, yet the supply is very abundant. Our banks were never more liberally disposed towards dealers, whilst the facilities for getting discounts out of bank are constantly increasing. nForei g n exchange has been in moderate demand. Con ntal bills have been steady, whilst sterlin g bills' have been rather heavy. Loners, 110 to 1101; Pans, 5.131 to 6.16; Amsterdam, 401 to 411 ; Frankfurt, 40.1 to 41 ; Bre men, 791 to 791 ; Hamburg, 301 to 361. In eitten there has been little or no desire shown by buyers to operate for the last three days, so that we have a very dull market to report. The sales amount to 1,000 bales and quotation' must be lowered to Ic., to correspond with the prices paid. In the early pert of the hut furteight was much excitement and some speculative feeling in breadstuff., but the advises received from England per steamers Washi a . ton aria America changed the feature of the m ar k et, and Mu closing rates of the week past were about l2)-. to 161 e per bbl. below the highest rates. From all account. the wheat crop of the present year will be • fair average one, so generally of good quality. Indian corn is of later grow th, and owing to the droughts the crop is in wire danger, s a d will probably be less productive than that ef lied season, The sales of wheat for export during the last fortnight have been large, but at • reduction of several trots en previous prices. The arrivals are free and generally in a better con. ditiun fur shipment. Genesee may be (tamed at t o 11 le.; white Michigan 107 to 108 c. ; Ohio rod 97 to 100 c.; mixed 103 to 11.14 e., and whit* 106 to 107 e. Canadian, li bond, 94 to Ode. Rye sells in small lots at sdc.

On the 3rd of May, according to the Sydney papers, 9.50 ounces of gold wore brought into Sydney hy the escort and made from four of the digging' in tlig Bathurst district, viz , Major's Creek, Araluco, B Braidwood, and Goulburn. At niidwood the utmost regularity an d order prevailed. The least approach to disturbance was put down with the utmost vigour by the goverlitnint. At the Little River all was quiet and orderly ; Each man was averaging an ounce of gold • day. There wet, indication' of a very rich spot about to be discovered. A gond deal is being done at Bell Creek. Claims are sent in in pairs on either side of the creek. This plan answers welt, far the whole property is fully worked. At Bell's Creek, at the depth of sixteen and eighteen feet, logs of trees have been found rut by some instruineut. Sat. agave layers of sand have from time to time been washed dowel over them ; " but who imagined then, when these trees were cut down," remark. , a correspondent of the Sydney Herald, " that gold, glittering gold, lay in such profusion on every side 1" " Great success has been met with at Major's Creek. The steady yield of the two creeks, Major's and Bell's, and from all the diggings in the district." saps the correspondent just alluded to, " mug rank them the highest amongst the Australian goldfields. Although winter was approaching, in May the weather was most genial at the diggings, and the grass Wal. green. Nature smiles, and all are prosperous." In the Bating% district the aborigines had assembled in great num bees, accompanied by • large number of half-caste children, all of which would he destroyed by the aborigines according to their custom. The colo- nial government was urged to take lacewing to pre vent these atrocities. In the Sydney Herald of the 4th May, there are a dozen ships advertised to sail fm Melbourne, and numerous advertisements of gold buyers in Sydney. There is also an advertisement of a Monsieur Pruett, who states that ho has discovered the long sought aft of walking on the water, and that he would make a public display 04 the Sydney water, of his diecovery on the 10th of May, to celebrate the glorious discovery of gold within the colony. Monsieur and Madame Pi - wide would skate on that day upon the liquid wave., demoastratiag the practicability of traversing the waters by the help oi sea shoes. THE SPANISH TARIFF.

EGYPTIAN RAILWAY.—A letter from Alexandril states that the railway works have been greatly advanced within the last few weeks, and 8,000 men are now employed in throwing up the embankments along the shores of Lake Mareotis, the coast line of which it Iran roes for twelve miles, or nearly its entire length. The foundation hie proved more secure than was expected, and it is highly probable, from the exertions that are being made, that by the end of 1853 trains will he passing with passengers and merchandise between the Mediterranean at Alexandria, and the Nile at Kart-Leis. This surmounts, at all events, the grand difficulty in the transit—the navigation of the canal. B 7 the Ist of January, 1854, there seem just grounds for hoping that the communication will have renehed the capi tal ; and if the viceroy is prosperous and supported, it a I highly probable he will order its continuance thence to the Red Sea at Sues. There has been great difficulty expe rienced lately in reaching the terminus recommended by ' Mr. Stephenson, as the line mosses itnino trifling propertyof ' Europeans, and they arc taking advantnre of the neccfmty to demand the most exorbitant values. In fact, so much disgusted is the Pacha at their rapacity, that he threaten* to cut off that portion altogether, and connect it with the granaries and shunabs by a circuitous trammed. .-.1r.- 21,
