It appears that gold is still plentiful in California, and the amount we may now expect monthly will be nt least 3,000,000. A very large number of persons are returning home with their earnings. Upwards of 1,000 persons were on their way back by the Nica ragua route, which though yet a tedious one, is copal ' dered much more healthy than that of Panama. It is quite melancholy to hear how many deaths occur among the Californians, whether on the land or the sea. Unfortunately the cholera has been brought into San Francisco by an American mailing vessel, and several deaths had occurred there already. Con sidering the exposed and careless lives led there by a large proportion of the population, we expect to hear of much sickness and distress. Many persons die on the Isthmus. One house in this city has lost three agents at Panama within two months past, and the forwarding merchants ars con tinually changing the names of their firm, in conse quence of the mortality among the partners. Mean time the railway company is constantly recruiting its forces on the line of the road, and appears determined to effect its purposes. A large party of engineers has also proceeded to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, to commence operations there. The intelligence from Oregon is to tne 25th of Oct. Eight hundred thousand bushels of wheat have been grown there the lest season, and a vast quantity of fine potatoes. The Californians will therefore no longer be indebted to the Atlantic or South American states for food. They will get it quicker and cheaper from Oregon. Quite a number of steamers is already in the local trade. The overland emigrants of the present year had nearly all arrived, though not witti est severe trials and a great dimunition of numbers. Efforts are making to induce the government at Washington to send our great line of battle ship, the Pennsylvania, carrying 120 guns, to the GrestWorld's Fair. I think it quite probable she will be sent. Through the exertions and great influence of Mr. Creekey, our consul at Southampton, she will pro bably harbour at Southerrpton. I do not see why this port should not rival very shorty Liverpool or London. It is mach easier of access than either, has superb docks and plenty of water. Mr. Cuskey is doing every thing to favour that pert, and should be aided by your government in his generous attempts to give it importance in the United States.

The press is occupied at present in the discussion of a local topic of some interest,—the Jesuits' estates. These were alienated some years ago, when the order of the Jesuits was suppreseed, and applied to pur poses of general eduoation. I believe it is true that the catholic, are anxious to get the whole in their possession again, which causes some jealousy and ex easement on the part of their protestant brethren, bat no attempts at change have yet been made. It is merely articles in the Melanges Religetax, the organ of the Roman catholic bishop, that is causing all the trouble. _ . . There m no other Canadian topic of any intereat, bat the excitement on the papal question has reached this colony. The weather is beginning to get very severe.

The great operations throughout the week have been the flooring and glsniog. At both ends of the building there is yet a large mean unglued; but this work is retarded by the limited supply of glass. The work men calculate that they are able to fit upwards of eight thou sand panes daily ; but the supply of materiel has fallen short of this quantity. The members of the executive committee took possession of their apartments on Friday last ; and in future their labours will be carried on within the building. A large extant of Boring bee been laid down since our last resit ; and throughout the week the serpent, rs have been em ployed boarding in the building. The nob ben of the transept have been fixed; and today the gluier, commence upon this important part of the structure. By the nth tam it is confidently expected that all the Onto; will be finished and that the exterior of the building will be complete. We have recurred once or twine to the reports which have been propagated, that puts of the building were not mfir ; we also stated that these portions hod been bread to give them additional streneth. This addition of strength led certain men to amen that the promptitude with which the authorities yielded to their directions wee evidence of the carelessness with which the plans of the building had been drawn up. It will be satisfactory to the public to learn that when the engineers of the bui lding committee inspected the alterations in question, they unenimously pronounced them to be utterly superfluous, so that the originator of the plans and the contractors are exonerated bv l the high en- 1 .i• a . gmeeriog esttionties from any &tupelos of wota,ng in an us. scientific °toneless manner. V iaiton continued throughout last week to flick to the grounds, and to swell the amount of the widest relief fund. It is remarkable that up to this time only ens fatal accident has incurred, and this was attributable to the earelesiness of the solderer. The contractors, to restrain the daring of the workmen, have made a regulation, wholeeome in its effect, of prohibiting the labourers from placing themselves in dangerous attitudes, on pain of (Bs miesal from their employment.

RUMOURED SAFETY OF SIR Joliet FlatilELTH.— The Musser of yesterday says: "A rumour wee very pre valent lest night of the safety of Bir John Franklin, and of his expected arrival in London within a fortnight from this date. This rumour was strengthened by an aneenticemeat from the stage of the Haymarket Theatre soon after ten o'clock, on the sawdust= of lb. play of " Henry the Eighth." Mr. Froderick Webster, the stage h ma acid r, announced, amidst great applause, the news, wich he had bona goad authority.

Hereupon Mr. Giddings (o f Ohio, a free-soiler) moved an amendment, to the effect that so much of the message as related to domestic policy be referred to the Judiciary Committee. At the close of Mr. Giddings's speech, Mr. Brown (of Indiana, democrat) observed that it was a short scuion; and that if this discussion wu allowed, it might leave no time for business. For the purpose, therefore, of terminating the debate, he moved that the committee rise, to give him an opportunity to offer a resolution for that purpose. The committee rose accordirgly, and resumed after the house had pared a resolution to limit the discussion to one minute. Mr. Giddinge's amendment was "voted down, I and the resolutions of Mr. Bayley agreed to in com mittee and concurred in by the house. After an ineffectual attempt on the part of Mr. Schenck (of Ohio, whig), to offer a resolution direct ing the committee of ways and means to report a bill appropriating money to fit out the ship Pennsylvania fir the purpose of conveying American produce to the London World's Fair, the house adjourned without transacting further business. The proceedings in the Senate have been utterly devoid of interest. The legislature of Texas, at a special session for the purpose of deciding on the acceptance of the law of Congress relative to the state boundary, have ae °opted the proposition with almost entire unanimity. This agreement of Texas to the adjustment of her boundary permits the art for the organisation of New Mexico to go fully into effect, and thus adds another to the organised territories of the Uoited States.

The new legislature of Florida was organised on the 25th ult. The Senate has an opposition majority of one, and the house a majority on the same side of two. The officers of both houses are of course wholly opposition. The g Terrier, in his message, asks authority to call a convention of the people of the state, is case of the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law or any other aggressive measure. The legislature of Mississippi have passed a vote of censure on Senator Foote for his course ita the U. S. Senate with regard to the Slavery question. The dates from California are to Nov. 1, twelve days later than our last advices. A terrible steamboat disaster occurred at San Fran cisco ore the 29th of October, by which a number of lives were destroyed, variously estimated at from seventy-five to a hundred. This was caused by the explosion of the boiler of the steamer Bagman, which took place just as she was leaving her wharf for Stockton. A arge number of pee-en fene were on board. Homan bodies and muses of timber were at ease scattered in every direction. The boat was a essoplete wreck, and from her fragments were taken the deed and dying, mutilated in the most shocking moaner. The muter of the boat was blown a di.- lame of fifty feet into the water. He escaped with his life, but not without considerable injury. The ems of this dreadful waste of human life has not been ascertained. The cholera has broken out at San Francisco, and is spreadiag with great rapidity. It first appeared on beard a vessel which had put into the harbour, bound hem Sacramento City to Panama. The admission of California into the Union was ce lebrated at San Francisco on the 29th of October, with great parade. A procession was formed in ho nour of the occesioc, salutes were fired, banners dis played, an oration pronounoed, a nauonr. rte sung, and the festivities closed with a ball and supper. Tae City Hospital of San Francisco was destroyed by fire on the 31st day of 0. tober. The inmates, umbering 160 peewee, were all removed in safety. The loss is about 40,000 dollars.

But while thus endesortoir;s4 to ensure the good order sod seety of the line, therms of the notice (now objected to) provide thet sny es:gins man who desires to make • bona fork engagement with another company, or who shall propose to go abroad, or, in feet, shell wish to gull the company's service for any valid reason altogether unconnected with a general s•rike, the um -I fortnight's notice will be deemed sufficient. It must be remembered also that the old enginemen are not His Hewer gave judgment its thu case, which has teen se frequeally before the cioert. He said be had deferred Judgment to inquiries to the puticulan of a case before the Vice-Chanoellor, in which a baokrupt bawd Wakefield had had his seettilaree refused, and on appeal the 266th section of the art had not been brought under the consideration of the Vice-Chancellor. Here the bankrupt was charged wi h fraud, under the 3rd clause of the 256th section, and with contra@ - tor debts after his defalcations had begun. The criminality of his conduct could not be denied; but it was urged that such misconduct was net in ha capacity as a tracer, and was therefore not cognisable by the court. He bad to consider, therefore, whether the bankrupt had committed any offence under the 256th section which only came into operation in October, 1849 ; also, whither the 198 , 11 section wee confined to any particular Class of debts in cases of this kind. After quoting from the preamble of the new set, and the 198th and 266 clayey, his Honour observed that the weeds " u a trader," were not found in the earlier bankruptcy acts. They first occurred in the 13th end 14.11 Charles 11. The teems, ' trader liable to brume bankrupt," were first used in the act of 6 George IV.. and were repeated is sub sequent acts. Hence the word " trader" was 'generic) term, denoting the class of permit liable to become baokrapt; and the conduct of any each person, " as a trader," meet therefote be considered M • wide sense. The law made no distinction as to the debts of a bankrupt when contracted; it had been held that a commission might be supported by • debt contracted before the trading commenced, sad on an act of benkrutecy committed atter et had ceased; and Lord Chief Justice Tindal had held that even prima'. debts contracted not for the purpose of trade must be treated in the same way as others. Hs thought, therefore, that the conduit of the bankrupt generally must be considered, and that he could not be allowed is put elf or take or the character of • trailer at pleasure. An the legi,laiure contemplated his conduct both before and after the back-uptcy, it could not toter to mere trading after the banknap.oy, when it had ceased on the bankrupt's owu see unt. The clauses of the 266th section showekthat the 198th section was meant' to refer to conduct in general; for it wetted a variety of efsneee which might be committed by the bankrupt as a trader. The term " e induct as • trader," in the 19811 sec tion, could net, consistently with the 256 :h section, be sonfined to conduct in the course of • trade. The con struction was that the court was to d the conduct of • bankrupt as one of • class of persons amenable to that court; and in certain cases the certificate must he refused or suspended; in others the court wee to jadge of the cases. Te adopt any narrower construe. tioa would be to ercourage fraud and to moist benkrupte in defeating their creditors. Jardine bad succeeded to his father's business as • draper, and bad been actuary to the savings baok above thirty years, that as assistant to his father, who bad founded the back, and then on his own mount. He had lout enjoyed the respect and es'erm of hie townimen, and had been selected to flit various offic a of tryst. He had pecuniary difficulties to contend with, &rigor from reduced trade, and was then temyed M apply the moneys of the bank to his own use. He had no doubt meant at the time to repay the money se abstr.c et ; indeed, he bad repaid some, but only by means of fresh applications. It was urged that be bad severe Isom from contagious sickness in his family, but nothing wield justify a system of fraud supported by artifice ar d con trivance. When money was brought to the bank he 'wend it correctly in the depositors' hook, but act io the cash-book of the bank ; and hence thou sums were omitted from the ledger. Instead of being an en ample of integrity to others, he had shown a wretched regardleuness sat what was due to himself and society, aid had carried on this system of fraud tor about five years. At last, when no longer able to go on, he had made an assign• great of his property to the trustees of the bank ; and, could this have been carried out, the general creditors would have fit notkirg. Had the trustees beet allowed to claim from this estate in full there would have been no assets fer the creditors. The bankrupt had been • man above in•pi don. How humiliating the position in which he now stood ! No vice so much affected the character of a trader as the want of probi y. There was no mere Unreel at purpose than that of savings banks, and if any fund ought to be beyond the reach of suspicion i' was that which the poor with filmset heroic fortitude had been able to treasure up against the hour of want. This bankrupt owed above 2,0001 to the 'leviers bank; end the court bad now to consider the base ness end dangerous tendency of the off- nee, the deliberation with which it bad bees committed, and above all, the im pompom of sustaining the confidence of the working classes in these institutions. This was one of a numerous clue of cases showing the want of a public prosecutor; notwithstanding the grievous offence the bank rupt had committed, he had not been brought to justice. It would be a monstrous perversion of the bankrupt laws to grant a certificate to such a person, who had long carried on a heartier species of grand, and most mischievous in its consequences, and bad only supported his trade by the funds thus obtained. He lied been guilty of the offence specified under the 3rd clause of the 258th section, a. 4 that in a very aggravated manner. The Certificate must therefore be required to subscribe to the notice. The directnn repeat that they have no intention by this measure to reduco the enigma old and tried hand., nor to rb:ain tt.e sinners of those who are disposed to sign, for a lower rata of wages or remuneration than what similar duties are terformed at ; nor do they grudge the present high wages of seven shillings per day, u she reward of long and faithful service; but they aspect in return a zealous and cheerful obedience to rules and regulations lamed in a liberal spirit, and calculated generally to establish a system which will ultim►tely secure the regulari.y of the line, thy safety of the pubUc, and the well-neing of the whole concern.

The committee will engage that every ear/iceman shall be provided with • competent and efficient fireman ; and, as a general rule, as is the custom now, they do not object to their remaining together. But they regret that they cannot be bound, under all circum stances, to comply with this demand of the enginemen, as it would be surreede ring their undoubted rieht to the con trol over their own servants, as well as yielding to a dicta tion, which would be subversive of all discipline in the establishment " No. 4. • That thou men who have been redo - ed for ob jecting to sign the three montr s' notice ha reinstated in their former poritiona.• The committee deny that any regis tered toe ineman or fireman bas been reduced, or is intended to be reduced, for refusing to sign the three months' notice. They avow that they will give a preference to all those who are candidates for promoti m, who are willing to conform to this reasonable regulation ; and they are determired to keep faith with any who have signed, or who may hereafter sign, under such expectation, provided they are deemed to be equally well qualified to undertake the higher duties as others who decline to sign. " HA111:111LN EARLE, Chairman of the Locomotive Com mittee of the Northern Division.—Liverpool, Dec. 21." Upon this reply Wog received, a number of the Liver pool men took the opinion of a professional gentleman as to the effect of the 10th rule in the book of regulations ifAUVi for their guidance, which says—.. No servant is to relit the company's service without giving fourteen days' IxeTlolll notice, and in au he leave without such notice all pay then due will be forfeited;" and were advised that if they were welling to submit to the forfeiture, they need not give any notice before quit . ing the company's service. If, however, they should attempt so summary a process, we are inform-d that (under the advice of counsel) they will probably be indicted for a conspiracy by the company, as attached to the book of rules is the following agreement, ender which the men torment to be bound by any regulation adopted by the company, which the proposed alteration in the length of notice is contended to be : " I, being this engaged es in the Loudon an d North Western Company, do hereby bind myself to observe and obey the foregoing ruLs and regula tions which I have read (or heard read) and understand, and all others that may from time to time be issued ter the better government of the company, so long as I remain a servant in it." That some difficulty might arise on the rule we Dave quoted above &opens to have been felt by the aloes of the company, as in a copy of the rules, corrected in S . pterober last, and lately issued to the men on the southern division et the line, the words, "and in case he leave without such notice all pay then due will be forfeited," are °mitt. d ; sod it is urged that the corrected rules not yet having been circu lated en the northern division of the line, the men on that division are not bound by them. Acting under the legal opinion we have above referred to, the men of the northern divalent of the line had a aerating at Liverpool on Saturday, at which it appears it was resolved to leave the company's service on Monday (this) evening ; but prior to carrying that resolution into effect, it wee deemed advisable to take the opinion of the men en the southern divine's of the line, to whom the regulation does no' at present apply, on the subject. Accordingly a clamo rously attended meeting of the men employed on that per tin of the line between London sod Birmingham thole place last night at the It iiloay Tavern, Hanipstead.road, when a deputation from the men employed on the northern division having seated their case, a long c iscussion lock place, which resulted in the following resolution being pseud: That we, the engine diivera and firemen on the southern division of the London and North Western Reileay Com pany have heard with regret that a dilfetenee has arisen be tween our fellow-servants on the northern division of the line and their lotemotive superiutendents, owing to a recent regulation having been issued that the engine drivers and firemen, prior to leaving the service of the company, shall henceforth give three months' notice, instead of a fortnight as hitherto; it,tl that, uwing to the superinteadent having refused to withdraw that regulation, a portion of the eine se men and firemen on the earthmen division of the line have expressed an e pinion that they ought immediately to resign their situations. We, the engine-drivers and firemen of the southern division of the line, having taken into considera tion all the circumstances of toe eve, do hereby express our opinion—while deprecating the proposed alterations in the rules under which we act, the more especially se, owhig to the stringency of the field clause in the agreement attached to th .se rules, we are bound, while we continue in the service of the com pany, to conform to all regulations " that may be from time to time issued for the better regulation of the company " however tyrannical those regulations may be—that the en gineers and firemen of the northern division of the line ought not to resign their situations until a memorial, stating the grievances under which they labour has been presented to, and an answer obtained from, the whole board of di rectors having the fullest confidence in their jnatloe and in their desire to redress any preyed grievances under which their servants may suffer. But while expreuiing this opinion, ' we do further must respectfully protest against the adoption of the new regulation on the northern division of the line— believing that if once curled out upon one pennon of the line, It will be applied to testy engineman and fireman in the ser vice of the company, and that however emphatically such en intention may be denied, its object is, and must ulti matt ly be reduction of wages, and our body being destroy. d 'dement by a graded introduction of new hands, while we tae bound to the company for the lengthened period of three months—a conviction in which we see confirmed by the express on in the circular of the locomotive committee, " that they do not grudge the present high wages of 7s. per day ;" wages which, looking at the length of time we hove to verve as firemen and engine drivers before we can expect to obtain them, we can only regard as lair end reasonab:e for us to receive sod our employers to pay. It will be therefore seen that the men employed on the southern division of the line, who had a contest with their employers abut two year. since, deprecate any strike taking place null the opinion of the board of directors, on the order of Mr. Trevetbick, has been officially obtained. We feel bound, however, to state that we are informed that the managers of the line are prepared, if the men should unfortunately carry into execution their threat of resigning on the northern division of the line, to follow the example of the Eastern Counties Company, and reduce their trains rather than submit to such an enforced dictation from the men; but we sincerely hope that when the directors sod the men come coolly to corisider their respective positions ' each an adjustment of their differences may take place as will prevent the nuns-its of mouth being had to a measure ' which must prove alike injurious to the iiiterests of the coin . nue.. of the public, and the men thetuelese THREATENED STRIKE ON THE NORTHERN DI VISION OF THE LONDON AND NORTH 1 WESTERN RAILWAY. The subjoined document will . explain the position summed by the enginemen and firemen employed upon the northern portion of the above lines, in relit/nos to the directors charged with the supervision of the locomotive arrangements from Birmingham to Liverpool, and from Holyhead to Carlisle. The (sets detailed will maks the public aware of the ground of difference, which arises from the very natural desire of the directors to provide, by an adequate and equita ble notice both against the chances of sudden and factious poppet's of the working of the line by • strike on the one hand, sad the possibility of unjust end too summery diossis sals of the men on the other. The public will hardly be prepared for the aonouncement that the men have threatened not merely to strike at the . ad of 14 days ; but peeltirely to deeert their engines at the end et 24 hours only, if their demands be not complied with ; and that (though there must be some faith in their men cooties to their lenses) it is not impossible that part of the grand through communication of the ceurery„ine.luding the mail route to Ireland, may be stopped for the time required safely to replace the drivers. The fact that the drivers can compel in this manner the responsible managers of a company either to work their lines for a time with men hastily called together, running all the risks of safety, or to stop or materially to curtail the communication until a new organisation can be made—and this, too, on the great highways of the country—proves the expediency and public importance of the long coupe, which has ceased the emlearreasment in this case. In any ease, the public ought not to remain liable to have travelling suspended and the posts stopped by a workmen's .1 ll) 0 nu .

Pint, then, "that the three months' system be abolithed." Why ? It does not appear that the old hands are called upon to sign It, or to alter the terms of their existing eogsgensents, and It is stated by the directors, in terms which do not admit of a doubt, that it is not contemplated to do so, or to make the slightest reduction of wages in any event. 2. 1 hat all theme men who have tigned the three months' notice, their signatures shall be erased, and they be placed in the situation they were in before signing the three months' notice."
