MONEY MARKET D COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The advices received from the manufacturing dis tricts report that during the past week a gradual improvement has been perceptible in most descrip tions of business. At Manchester the demand for goods suitable for India had been active, and sheet ings had improved ld. to lid. per piece. Yarns improved id. per lb., and the demand was mode rately active. At Leeds the woollen cloth trade had exhibited symptoms of activity. There has been an increase in the demand for genuine cloths, and the operatives were fully engaged. In the various Cloth-halls there was an average at tendance of buyers, and, taken altogether, the prospects of the trade were very encouraging. Busi ness at Bradford has been rather inactive. Manu facturers, however, are well engaged upon orders not yet completed, and prices of all descrip tions of goods are well supported. At Not tingham and Leicester the hosiery and lace trades have slightly improved. The demand for the Ameri can market, however, is not quite so active, but for the home trade there is a good demand. At Bir mingham the sales of iron have been very limited. The best brands have been chiefly in request, and prices have varied according to the necessities of the makers. In the various fancy trades of the district there is little alteration to report. The hardware trade at Sheffield and Wolverhampton has been rather more active, a good demand hav ing been experienced for exportation. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton market on Saturday closed with rather more activity, and prices of all descriptions were fully maintained. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the speculators. In the Rail way Share Market the transactions were limited, and the quotations of the leading lines slightly de clined. On Saturday the Bank's metallic reserves were again trenched upon to the extent of 90,0001., and the question naturally asked is, for what purpose this efflux is intended ? This appears very difficult to explain ; but the presumption is that those continual remittances are associated with some extensive financial operation, the particulars of which have not yet transpired. What ever opinions may be entertained upon the subject, certain it is that a drain is going on which, unless checked, must soon cp,use an important deficit in the stock of bul lion. At present the movement, though carefully watched, has not excited uneasiness, because it is known that a million and a quarter in Australian gold is coming forward, and must soon arrive. There is no alteration to report in the Money Market ; the ter ins continue easy, and the demand is limited. The inquiry is now chiefly confined to the daily wants of the commercial public, which, as trade is quiet, are not extensive. In this situation the market will continue until some large absorp tion takes place either for speculation or legitimate enterprise. At the Stock Exchange, the settlement being over, the demand for loans has subsided, and if required they can be obtained on easy terms. The departures for the Australian colonies during the past week have been very limited, and comprise only two vessels, viz., one to Port Philip, of 884 tons, and one to Launceston, of 632 tons. The annual meeting of the Union Bank of Aus tralia has just been held, Mr. Cummins in the chair. The report was on the whole favourable, and stated that affairs in the colony were slowly recovering. Three new branches had been opened. The profits for the year were 173,6051. ss. 11d. The nett b dance on the 30th of June, 1858, was 87,0991. 12s. sd. The rate of exchange had been unfavourable and several losses had occurred to the Bank but the directors had still been able to Write those losses out of the profits and also fo add to the reserve and declare a dividend of 10 per cent. for the half-year. The report was adopted una%i mously. In the market for the English Funds there has not been much animation. Prices have been rather depressed owing to the unfavourable Indian intelligence. Consols for money are 95i and for the account 95g 4. The New Three per Cents. are 95- l a, and Reduced Annuities 95 Bank Stock is 220 to 222, and India Stock 218 to 221. Exchequer Bills are 325., and the June issue 20s. to 235. premium. A fair amount of business is being transacted in the Foreign Stock Market, but prices remain steady. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 94 95; ditto 4 per Cents., 1041 ; Brazillian Scrip, 1 to -1; die. ; Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents., 83 ; Peruvian 4! ! per Cents., 88/; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 451 ; Sar dinian 5 per Cents., 891 ; Spanish New De ferred, 27/ ; Dutch 22 per Cents., 651 ; and ditto 4 per Cents., 100-i. The transactions in the Railway Share Market have been more limited, and prices have been rather flatter. Lancashire and Yorkshire have de clined 10s. ; M►dland, ss. ; North Stafford, se. ; and south Eastern, ss. Great Northern advanced ; South Western, ss. ; and South Wales, se. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets prices were flat. East Indian declined about 10s. Grand Trunk of Canada advanced 10s. ; and Great Western of Canada, ss. Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shares have ben dealt in to a very limited extent, and but little alteration can be quoted in values. Bank of Australasia have improved 10s.; and Union of Australia, 10s. to 15s. Peninsular and Oriental Steam advanced to 78. BRlrxsa FUNDS.—CLOSING PRICES—THIS DAY.

THE THAMES AT GREENwicrt.--It having come to the knowledge of the M et r o politan Board of Works that the Thames at Greenwich was stated to be quite tree from the pestilent odours which for several weeks have rendered almost every other part positive schiavte u o n n ce i: noble river, from Putney e astward, a it !lance and a disgrace to London, Mr. Bristow, th e mem ber for Greenwich of the Metropolitan Board, accom panied by some fellow-meinhers, and many scientific and literary gentlemen, assembled at Greenwich oa Satur day, for the purpose of personally ascertaining whether the ancient borough enjoyed perfect freedom from stench. After an hour's' sojourn on the banks cf . the Thames and an examination of the districts most likely to be affec'ed by the impurity of the river, the fact was found t 3 be just as reported. In the even ing the gentlemen . engaged in the sanatory survey sat down to a sumptuous enter' ain mew, provided by Mr. Quartermaine, cf the Ship. Dr. Park, the medical officer, of Greenwich, stated that the sickness and mortality in the district were less than the average during the month of June, when the Thames at 'Westminster and westward was most offensive.

The Reigning Beauty. By Georgiana, Lady Chatterton, author of " Life and its Realities." 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. The title of this work naturally suggests to the mind a record. of the glittering career of the star of the season, with descriptions of the gay scenes in which she shines with splendour, and the chro nicles of tb e brilliant company who form her gorgeous entomrage ; youth in its flower, beauty in its bloom, pleasure in its zsnith, enhanced by the treasures of fortune, and adorned with the lustre of rank, are scen among the shining ornaments of such a smithag fate. It is not here intended, how ever, to giv 5 a partial view of the events likely to occur on the stage of existence, and the reader will find that in ay.hat concerns the frivolous belle alone, there appears; .much that may awaken thought an, t give rise to reflection. Anastasia is not introduced at first, and afterwards she is not the only promi nent person, so that no one can be at a loss to select a more congenial character to study, when wearied by the vanity that disgusts, and the vexation that can never win sympathy. The chief events are told by one who was the eye witness of the greater part, and who neglected, and unnoticed herseg, was the impor tant agent in many momentous concerns, and the sustainer. and guide, of some troubled and perplexed spirits. Nelly 'Mugging, as the old go verness was called, might look back with satisfac tion on her past labours, from the beautiful retreat in which she was at last so fortunate as to find a home. The calm evening hour might be fully en joyed by on who had endured to the uttermost the burden, and heat of the day of toil, and hers was that genial nature that finds its own happiness in witnessing the prosperity of those dear to her heath In the course of the work we meet with several families, who form distinct objects of inte rest themselves, yet who aro ingeniously interwoven in the plot, no as to concentrate the attention on one point at the conclusion. If there is not much novelty in the incident of Lord Severn being lost in infancy, and tb e title being borne by another, it is described in a nianner that imparts to it a zest, and the impression. producedby Ernest Clanronald him self, goes far to keep alive in the mind the interest his romantic position has excited. With all his faults, there seems something genuine in his na ture, and one feels inclined to sympathise with him in the paia - ful dilemma in which he was placed, through his engagement to Anastasia. The anxiety he evinced proved that the real and the true pos sessed a power over him, however lost their influ ence might have' seemed, and however disregarded appeared their culture. While others of his age and position, would have been dazzled by the pro spects of splendour that dawned upon him, he was only thinking vs ith dismay of the impracticability of reconciling what honour commanded in reference to Miss Severn, with his own wishes in iegard. to Margaret Norms at. He had not met her for years, years which had transformed her from the child lie had forgotten, to the woman he too late admired and appreciated. Margaret is an excellent cha racter, not so brilliant as Isabel Severn, not so beaming or joyous as Beaujolais, but she commands a respect that eridures, when fascination fades, and when talents may cease to charm. Perhaps the portraiture given of the heroine, Anastasia Severn, is, after all, the mast meritorious in its likelihood and in the forceof its touches. It is not probable that those, in whose minds the seeds of vanity are so early implanted, in whose heart= the love of the pure and the good,is so soon extinguished,to he replaced by tLe worship of Maircuon, and tie devotion to self, as was the case with th.e proud girl here mentioned, should escape the enervating influence, and pass unharmed through the dangerous ordeal. In the ease of Anastasia it is plain that she Noluutarily yielded to tvery evil suggestion, and fell a willing victim into the snares that were prepared by lr-r mother's folly and the flattery of her friends. It might be useful to those, who trust all, and everything, to their powers of attmcting by the beauty an instant can destroy for ewer, to dwell on the moral conveyed by the humiliating position el the reigning beauty at Westlands. She found herself deprived of that dazzling loyalness which she had so idolized when she possessed it, in the lonely lions of a sick room: she gad leisure to ponder on the life she had led, and the time she had wasted. She did not regret the lost oppc rtunities in a higher sense, all she lamented was, th et her weapons should have filled her, without her having won the contest. The crowning conquest of her life was to have been the acquisition of some grand title, and some splendid establishment . , but those who Slave witne=sed her selfishness, her vanity, and bier heartless conduct, wilt rejoice at her final. discomfiture. There is ,omethilig reel tn choly, in the record of the life, of the narrator of thee events. She had much to c :ntend against, and never appeared to be free, from .one weAring anxiety, or dopressing care. Fitz Petrick is a character, likely to inspire interest, from his pecu liar position. The very mystery that enveloped him, as with a dark cloud, seems to impart a romance to his existence. His actions were impru dent, but he never appears guilty of any wrong, and the generous manner in which he resigned what ho had always called his own property to the rightful possessor, proclaimed the worth of his nature. Isabel presents a pleasing instance of one, who, having early received good impressions in her mind, clings to their memory and cherishes their image, white she is exposed to many and great temptations. In this she exhibits a striking con trast to her sister, whom she had early discretion enough to shun, as a warning, and not imitate as an example. There is something touching in the passages that refer to the French emigrant Adolphe St. Leon. The patience with which lie eo sin ed his great afflictions is the more s riking when the intensity of his feelings is considered. The love he bore his wife was deep and true, while all his desire of fame, and hopes of independence centred in the pursuit of that profession, which he was compelled for ever to relinqu'sh, from the ter rible calamity of blindness. In his life of poverty and suffering he was resigned, not as those who cannot feel the sharpness of sorrow, but his faith bad won the victory. Very different were the positions of the proud Anistat.i., and of the bro ther of the instructress she despiFed ; but in her happiest hour she might have sighed for the peace that ever wanting in her b:illiant sphere, St. Leon valued as the treasure, of which nothing could deprive him. On the whole, it may be considered that the author ha; been successful in producing an interesting work, 0 . -e that will amply repay perusal, for those who desire entertainment, while those who wouldlook forhigher objects mayfuid much to suggest reflection, and to attract notice, by the record of its scene.; of suffering, its pictures of vanity, and its details of ambition. Without being of a melancholy hue throughout, tie tone of the story is rather sad than anima. ed, while the fate of the reigning beauty herself holds out no false, alluring promises ; but demonstrate, with all the sternness of reality, that no reign is more swift in its flight, and more un satisfying in its retrospect, than that of a beauty such as Anastasia Severn. It is probable, there fore, that this work will be welcomed, as it pos sesses the merit, o f u ph o ldi ng the true principles of r w i i g t h h t, th charms in e atale, of whichrom an ta c l e. ent has made brilliant Ursula : a Tale of Country Life. By the Author of "Amy Herbert," (Sic., &c. 2 vols. Longman. This is another of those excellent works which have attracted so much attention from the lofty principles of right whidh they inculcate, and the purity of purpose which animates their author. She does not seek to direct by any decisive mea sures, or to lead in any peculiar path, but she en deavours to influence , b y simple and straightfor wardly me result n troutl'to point out how m u c h good or evil m the actions of those in humble a station, in circumscribed spheres. Such represen tations of existence will not please those who are excited at the prospect of anything great, and turn aide frOm stuall sacrifices or petty struggles, but they maY serve to illustrate the path of duty to the many whose lives are made up of, little things- 'Without the occurrence of any extraordivaiY events, we meet with much n ot only thou, whose follies are Y impresses, and ably ad irnnonthil,tsa. It is edi who s:Tve as warnings ; from studying the actions of muchimm e d m i a a t y e ly b a l e p a p r a a i e nt the self-denying and those, who are really under the influence of good impressions, and actuated by the most laudable butonly in the volatile lr: motives. Thus we find mu c h t o re p re h e nd, not jesse not only in the self. sutlicient Millicent, Mrs. Weir, and in the upright Ursula. The latter was always labouring to do right, and she often succeeded, while her conduct was always each that all appealed to her for assistance in difficulty, and looked to her for sympathy in trouble. She was apt, however, to dwell too much on her own fancies, and not enough on the inevi'able changes of time and place. She was devotedly att wiled to her brother Roger, and she wilful!y shut her eyes to the probability of his one day forming a tie to which the love of a sister would be secondary. When the bitter truth forced itself upon her, she roused herself to meet the trial bravely, but the indulgence of her unreal visions had insensibly embittered her feelings, and she felt the burden almostloyond her strength. Mrs. Weir is a melancholy instance of what want of de cision will occasion in Fume persons,who are willing to bear anything for the cause of truth, but cannot overcome the ofstacles of their own weakness. Her sufferings principally concerned herself, and she de server pity, ouly,, while every feeling of indignation seems aroused against Mrs. Temple, for her despi , cable conduct. She is a type of a class that is only too numerous for the peace of society, who go about pretending to do good e _while they aro really occa sioning great evil. She would not have knowingly committed any offence, but persisted in carrying out her peculiar notions of right—she must settle not only her own duty, but others also. The only happy hour for poor Mrs. Weir was that in which worldly troubles were forgotten,wh en her spirit, on the threshhold of its eternal fresclom, could look back with calmness on the earthly bondage in which it had so long been fettered. It was certainly a solemn warning alike to the daughter who had wilfully neglected her, and the relation who had relssitlessly persecuted her, with her presence, to stand beside the bed of death where t!.eir gentle victim forgave all injuries. Ursula hurried from one scene of-suf feting to another as painful. Jessie, her dearly ' beloved brother Roger's wife, liw4 deceived him. Although by no means so faulty as her enemies made out, she had committed grievons errors, such as au upright and straightforward man like Rogsr, above all, shudders to behold in a -wife, He had been wrong in persisting to consider her perfect, and still more reprehensible in not counsel ling her more when he knew elle was so giddy and inexperienced. He paid a sad pe nalty for his wilfulness, as be could never be again happy in the trust that implicitly confi&s, and the affection which is based on respect, Tho true lessons of life are learned in scenes, like these through which Ursula pasted, and she derived profit from reflecting on their import. It is re marked that " each event of life, however trifling, bears within it the seed that is to exist for eter nity," an awful truth which those who act on hasty impulses, and give way to the passion of the moment, would do well to remember. If this story is not so interesting as some of its predeces sors, it is fully . as instructive, and will, no doubt. from the discriminating and discernin;, meet with that appreciation, which so es imablo a work de serves to obtain. 1131 f x d 781 4 8 1 7i 1 591 60 1858. PASSPORT, AT BOULOGNE. We have baen favoured by the Boulogne agent of the South Eastern Railway Company with the copy of a letter just received by the Sous Prefet of the arrondissement of Boulogne from the Prefet of iho D3partment, giving instructi ns for a modificA tion of the passport regulations at that port. The following is a translation of the letter : "Prefecture of the Pas de Oal3is, lit Division, "Arras, July 7, 1858. _ _ , " Monsieur the Sous Prefet,—The Boulogne Chamber of Commerce has addressed to M. the Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works, by whom it has been referred to the Minister of the Interior, a resolution passed with a view to obtain, on behalf of the French and foreign inhabi tan's of the arrondissement of Boulogne, donacilA, es!ablished, and well known there, the same facili ties of embarkation and disembarkation as were authorised previously to the circular of the Ist of March last. M. the Minister of the Interior informs me that under present circumstances he does not see that there would be any inconvenience in those facilities being re-established to the same extent as before--that is to say, upon condition that the persons who may be called on to avail themselves a the advantage of this permission shall b 3 ellowed to embark or disembark upon producing their ex cursionists' passes, (.ar permits delivered by the police artihoritirs of aiulogne and Calais. '' I beg, you M. the Sons Platt, to transmit to them instructions to this effect. This determina tion, more yver, svisiii-s the desire expressel in your letter of the bth of July (6ioled) " The Prcfcct DE TAULAY." APPEALS IN CRIMINAL CASES. It is repr.sented that juries would estimate their responsibility more lightly if they delib!rited with the knowLidge that their decision was not neces sar ly conclusive. We may ask, in reply, whether this is found to be the case in cit it actions—whether there is the least reason to suppose that jurors in dulge themselves in greaer lax ty 61 dealing with questions of property because they know that the party against whom they decide may carry his case to the highest court in the laud ? In one class of cases it is probably true that juries would, under the proposed system, boar their responsibilities with greater e se to themselves, and by their so doing the • interests of substantial jus•ice would be greatly ad yawed. It notoriously happens not infrequently in trials for murder that twelve jurymen will acquit a prisoner of whose guilt they cannot bs supposed to entertain any reasonable doubt, because they shrink f.ona sending a fellow-creature to death while they fancy there is a possibility of error. From such compunctious weakness they are clearly much more lik-ly to be free if they can be assured that any mistaken deductions which they may draw from the evidence are liable to be revised by another tribunal, which will also have the power of taking into consideraion any facts which may have been unknown at the time when they were called upon to pronounce their verdict. In this way the effect of a recognised mode of appeal would, probably, have been to prevent the escape of some of the unconvicted mur derers who, there can be no doubt, are now walk- . ing abroad in society as the result of certain abor tive proceedings which have attracted a large share of attention during the last two or three years. By working in a somewhat analogous way on the mind of the Minister intrusted with this department, the system would also save us occasionally from wit nessing the commutation of a capital st ntence in case's where public opinion does not go with the leniency of the Crown. As the law stands, however heinous may be the crime asc ibed to any convict on whose behalf an effort is made, the Secretary of State, if some slight misgiv ing as to the question of actual guilt be awa kened in his breast, has no resource but to reduce the punishment. We need only glance at the cases of Clestina Somers and of the Irish artist who murdered his wife on the see-coast near Dublin to illustrate the practical absurdities in , which we are involved by the unjust test to which we expose the natural weakness of the administra tors of the law. Were it possible for every conviction to be exhaustively investigated before it came into the hands of the Crown we should have fewer instan ces of persons confined in Her Majesty's gaols who unquestionably ought to be hanged if they are guilty ; while, if they are innocent, they should as certainly be free. The establishment of a regular method of appeal on matters of fact would thus tend to “oduce consistency in the administration of the law as well as to impart additional certainty to conviction. It is fully in accordance with the humane spirit in which our criminal code has been reformed during the last 30 years. By common consent the consideration of the subject has been postponed until next session, but the utility and importance of the desired change may be considered to be established.—Manchtste Guardian.

The steamship Panama ariived here this forenoon at 11 o'clock, from ports on Puget Sound, and Victoria, V.I. We have only time to lay before our Atlantic' and European readers the following valuable correspondence, from our special corre spondents on Frazer river and at Victoria, in re gard to the new gold diggings iu the North—to catch the outgoing mail steamer for the East. Fort Langley, Frazer River, May 25, 1858. Since I last wrote you—on the 11th instant—l have been up above Fort Yale as far as it was pos sible to get up in a canoe. I left Fort Hope on the 12 , h, and arrived at Hill's Bar, one mile below Fort Yale, and fifteen miles from Fort Hope, by noon, This bar is about 500 yards in length, and about 60 men were working on it, the claims being each 25 feet front, Th 3 river from Fort Hope to Fort Yale presents no difficulties whatever to canoes ascending, except in one place, where there is a rapid, which, how ever, is no great obstacle, as close to the shore, in the eddy, a canoe is easily towed past. But, about one half mile above Fort Yale the river finds its passage between huge rocks—the sides almost per pendicular—and a canoe cannot be taken any fat then From thence, all golds have to be packed. Now and then a stretch of a mile or so is found, where the canoe can be of service. Some 200 Indians, with their squaws, were at work on the bar when I arrived, and they were nowise particular in seizing on the dirt which the miners were digging up, for their own washing. The whites were not troubling them—suffering all and trying to promote good feeling with them— although they were annoyed and insulted very much. The morning I arrived two men (Kerrison and Co.) cleaned up .sfr ounces, from one rocker, the product of halt a day's work. Myself and partner staked off two claims ' and set to work making rockers ; and no boards 13, , ing on the btr, we had, per force, to go to the woods and fell and hew out our lumber. Kerrison and Co. the next day cleaned up lOh ounce 4, from two rockers, which I saw my s,lf weighed. This bar is acknowledged to be one of the riche,t ever seen. Old California miners say they never sAw so rich diggings. The avenge r(3- stilt per day to the man was fully s2o—some, much more. The gold is very fine, so much so that it was impossible to save more than two thirds of what went through the rockers. There was no quick silver to be had ! one man went down to Fort Langley and bought one pound, paying $l5 for it. Numbe:s of canoes were arriving every day; and by . the time I left to come down here, they were scattered all along the river, from Fort Yale,to Fort Hope. The river was risinr , steadily at the rate of about a foot a day ; and when I left, on the 23d, the bars were nearly covered with water. By this time all river mining must have ceased, The miners were building cabins, &c., when I left. Rocker irons were in great demand, but few hav ing brought them with them. Nails brought from $1 to $1 50 a pound. One lot of a dozen noands brought s3—or two bits a, nal A few days before, a canoe arrive 3, brin g i ng a sLoall supply. A tradcr came up with a lot of provisions, and three b irrels of whisky, and one of brandy ; and in ten minutes afterwards, the Viir was in c mmoo tion. He drew his revolver on sonic drunken In dians, who were at his tent, and inst.:lllly tire In . dims raus to their tents and b•ou;ht out their nriskets, and ihings looked very sod us for a few moments ; Lot a miner offered to go to the trldei's help, however, bat one of a party of IY+atm , 2n from S Frauc:sco, who are working claims hc•re, w3.lked up with an axe over his arm, and anther rolled the casks out, whilst he snr,shed their holds in— an op:sration which met with the en mini ,us ap proval of all the white men ou the bar. The minere called a meeting and passed some laws. One of these laws pr( hibited any liquor at all coming on the bar, and any person found either selling or giving tin Indians any, was to not only forfeit all his goo is, he had one—but be sent down the liver in a canoe withlut any pad lies. The man's name was Patsey—sotnethlog, I have forgot what ; but he certainly deserved gre it ci edit f.Jr hi nerve, to do what he did in the midst of a crowd of excited Indians, maddened with liquor and armed to the teeth. At "Sailor Diggings," above Fort Yale, they are doing very well, averaging from $8 to $25 per day to the man. The watcr was rising fast on them, however, and they mu•st soon be at a stand-will. From the best authority I could get, I find that the river will be at its height abint the middle of June, say the 20111,, and about the 15th of July will c(numence falling. Flour wal soling at $lOO per barrel, or $5O a hundred, at Sailor Diggings. It was selling for $45 at 1-111.'s Bar when I was there. Bacon was $1 p, r pound. At Fort Hope there was nothing but dried salmon, at a bit apiece, a little flour, and some tza. for sale. I left Fort Yale after breakfast, and arrived here, stopping at Fort Hope on the way, before sundown. It took me five days to go up the river over the same ground, so you can form some idea of the current. Here I found the Company's steamer Otter at anchor, which had arrived from Victoria a few days ago, with the launch of the war steamer Satellite astern, armed with a brass 12-pounder, and manned with a crew of some thirty marines and sailors, with lots of rifle, tkc. I also learned that the Satellite was anchored off the mouth cf the ricer, and no goods or provisions were to be allowed to enter the river for the purposes of tradin g . Miners were free to go and come, with their tools and provisions only-. Governor Douglas was here and some of the dire 2- tors of the Company. Some 100 men were camped on the beach, and more continually arriving. A Chinaman from the Sound bad opened a " Miner's Home," in a log cabin ; and the fare he offered really would have done no discredit to a„ first-class restaurant. The miners were in great commotion about apro clamation which appeared on the gates of the Fort, a cipy of which I enclose to you, publishod in the Bulletin, which prohibits the bringing in of any goods, or in fact, attemptmg in any way to trade on this river, or in this territory. The Hud son's thy Company claims the sole right to all trade and jurisdiction over this country, by right of their charter from the English Government, and subsequent acts of Parliament. This clapped a stopper on ten out of eleven persons who were hurrying off to the Sound and San Francisco, for the purpose of bringing in goods, &c., their visions of fortune and " piles' were dissolved like snow in warm wa , er ; and the long faces on the beach sug. g,ested to one not knowing the cause, the idea of th, , ir having heard of the demise of some near rola- ' tive or dear friend. The license to work in the diggings is to be $5 per month ; but will not be demanded, I believe, until the Company are enabled to give the miners some protection in return, either through soldiers, whose arrival, it is rumoured, is daily expected in the 11 avanualt, a British ship of war , or thr o u gh a local police. The G:ivernor is about starring up to visit the mining regions. He has been visiied by great numbers of the miners, and has, so far as I can learn from ttiem, evinced e ver y desire to supply the mines immediately with goods and p rov i s i ons , whilst he is determined to enforce the rights of the Company. It is understood that the Company will sentdheimmmineedrisataetsrielpaspolinetslbul, rates.p3' and will furnish them to I have been informed by a friend in the Com pany's service, that arrangements have been nearly concluded with the Pacific Mail S , eamship Corn rany, to run a lino of steamers to Victoria, V. 1., from San Francisco—the Hudson's Bay Com pany to have control of the line, so far only that their freight is to be brought up in them. Passengers, on their arrival at Victoria, are to be charged 2 dollars a head. The Company intend immediately to place a steamer on from Victoria to the river running up as far as Fort Yuba. One can but imagine what this river and the upper country, for so long the solitary home of the savage, will look like i❑ six months from now. The old English and Scotch employoi of the Com pany seem like so many Rip Van Win:des already —men who have bun been out here 20 to 40 years, and who sometime 3 hava not seen a white man for a year at a time, whom no difficulties or dangers seem to daunt. 'Yesterday afternoon a canoe arrived from the mouth of the river witi the body of a man, named Charles Adams, a trader. H wa3 shot through the heart by one Chis. McDonald, whilst camped near the mouth of the river, on his way to Point Roberts. It appeals that the two we; e partners. Adams owed McDonald some money, and left here the day before. McDonald left shortly after, making threats that he would have either his money or Adams' life. He caught up to Adams, and, on landing, called Adams to one side, t ► talk ; o.nd whilst Adams was sitting upon a stump Emoking his pipe, McDonald drew his re volver, some ten paces off, and shot bin). McDo nald then to k all the gold dust and coin which Adams had in his canoe, and left. A boat was sent after him from the Satellite on their recciviog not:ce of the a•ove, hut I have not learnt whether they caught him or not. If they They held an inquest on him this morning, here iu thq fort, and the verdict was in accordance with the above circumstances. The case being one to which the people here are not accustomed, Mr. G. W. Tennent, of San Francisco, was requested to act as foiernan of a jury to investigate the affair— from whom I learn the circumstances. It was a cold-bloode .1 murder, and if McDonald is caught he will have but short shria. I intend remaining he re—perchance at an odd in terval taking a trip to Victoria, until the river commences falling, when. I will start for as far up the river as I can get. lam told that the gold is much coarser on Thompson river than it is on Fra zer river. I saw yesterday about 250 dols. of coarse geld from Thompson river in pieces averaging. 5 dole. each. Some of the pieces had quartz among them. I made a mistake in calling Hill's Bar, lierrisou's Bar, in my last letter. Hill was the last miner on ir, and with his partner has made some 500$ in about 16 days' work. There is a great crowd at Bellingham Bay, ap parently waiting for "something to turn up." Many have come over the trail from Shuswap Lake ---some 40 miles—from whence they reach the river in canoes, and may have tried it on ly t o re t urn to the Bay. one whom I have heard but pro nounced it a humbug ; but they say that a trail can be opened, when it will be easy enough to cross. But, of course, the arrangement's which the Company are making to run a steamer from Vic toria, will render the route from Bellingham Bay a nullity, since the other will be much the best route from San Francisco, to reach the mines, besides being the only route by which the company will allow trade and travel to enter the country. It was very warm whilst I was up the river. Fort Yale was a perfect oven, being surrounded by mountains. Canoes are very scarce ; the price has risen from 80 to 400 dols. Many parties have made light boats, but a canoe is much to be preferred for ascending the river. Bv some men who have just arrived from Sailor Diggings, and above here, I learn that the river in the past two days has completely covered the diggings, having risen three feet. They brought down 670 dols. in dust amongst three of them— the result of twelve days' work. The gold ie very fine ; they say that if they had had quicksilver they would have had much more. The Satellite is anchored off the mouth of the river and is overhauling every boat entering the river, not a!lowing any goods to ba brought in. The Ot'er is landing about 90 tons of provisions, etc., which came up from San Francisco iu the Commodore. The weather has been very fine since I have been ❑p here, though the past few days we have been visi±ed with plenty of rain. I send you a sketch of the river up as far as I have gone myself ; and above there from informa tion I have obtained from the Company. VICTORIA, VANCOUVER ISLAND, May 31, 1358. - - The Panama anchored eff the mouth of the harbour at daybreak this morning. As the arrival of a mail is THE event of this and every other civilised community, the inhabitants were astir earlier than usual. This amendment to their general habits may be continued and will certaiely tend to their benefit. Siam, my last communication, Governor Denglas has issued Lie proclamatio❑ in regard to the traffic on and navigation of Frazer river. Toe document appeared on the 11th inst., although dated Nix days previous. The tenor of the language is doubt, hope, and promise. For a legal ini tan molt, it possesses these strange and unusual qualities. I love before nee copies of correspondence, addressed to tee Governor, relaiog to this proclama tion ; his reply thereto is delayed by absence. Vessels of any flag or class can obtain at this part a clearance for Fort Langley, Frazer river, at a cost of 12 dole—deekecl boats, ti dole. This "permit" is 4raet:.d for pa , senger conveyance only, and for the sup p'ies a.!(1 implements i.ucn as miners generally require. Nlerehaevii , e on sale or freight will not be allowed to be lauded at Fort Langley—the Hudson's Bay Company being determined to mooopoliee the entire trade within their boundaries, I very much doubt., however. if they will effectually succeed in doing so. 11.13.11. steamship Satellite is anchored if the mouth of Frazer River. Every vessel entering is boarded, and the Governor's proclamation is read. Furthermore, they are told that the Hudson's Bay Company will seize them, if they pro ceed. It is very evident, however, that Captain Prevost will not do so—indeed, I doubt if he hoe the power— certainly he has not the desire. Yet in using his eleip and name for the Governor's manifesto, he fills a form of law, and nothing more. The licence to mine alluded to by the Governoris not ready for issue in duly printed form. The rate fixed upon for this delicate privilege is one pound sterlieg, equivalent to five dollars, payable monthly. At the. present moment, there is not a miner who has taken any licence, for the. reason that everything on the dig giege is in a state of chaos. .At this early moment they are without any proper officers or protection of any kin d. As soon, however, as these matters become re gulated, this or some other method of taxation will be adopted and enforced. I have no doubt the Govern ment will form a similar class of legielation for these gold-fieids, as they have done in the Australian Colo nies. If they do this, no reasonable miner can object, as many new iu California can a•test the sinrit of lair ness which actuated the decisions of the various gold commissioners in Australia. Yet, while Governor Douglas is the representative of the British Crown in these dominions, it cannot be ex pected that he will ever hoist the ensign of a " fair field and no favour." The interests of Governor Douglas are closely allied to the Hudson's Bay Company, of which he is chief factor. Trie dividends of Fenchurch street, where the Company's office iu London is, touches his patriotism. No broad and comprehensive legisla tion can be hoped for while Governor Douglas wields the sceptre of power the anomalous position which he holds forbids it. Free action and free trade clash against the dividends of the Hudson's Bay Company. Theo, would it he natural t suppose that chief factor Douglas would curteil these fur the benefit of his country, from whicli he olly derives the bare honour of being her re pt% sentativd This state of things, like other incongruous facts, must coon cease; and chief factor Douglas will re turn to that sphere to which he properly belongs. His position is destined to be filled by some gentleman of the British realm, whose statesmanship, capacity, and liberal sentiments are equal to the times and the occasion. Such is devoutly to be wished, not alone by the writer, but by every free and independent colonist. Alas, there are but few such. Their usual pa'try indebtedness to the company keeps the few that have the power from being outspoken, and they bend their knees and yield their sentiments as willing victims to a rank and gross mo nopuly. The news from the gold fields continues favourable, although the river had risen considerably and compelled many to cease working. In my previous communica tions I recommended those who had "the fever " to de- Ly their departure. On this account I renew the admo nition. The month,t,f July is quite soon enough to make the start, yet, if persons wilt persist, they at least can look at the columns of the Bulletin, and see how earnestly and sincerely they have been advised. Many of the colored people who are here, Archy Lee amongst them, t suui al eq pu u r a p l o t s ty e r a e ud maining. They are fraternity delighted accorded th em ; but I warn th e se colonists against amalgamatio n . I s there a stain or curse so great 1 Let the negro be treated justly and humanely ; but cast aside social dis tinctions and pri%ileges and you elevate him to a sphere of equality which is dangerous and terrible to contem• plate. Bow I wish that I could collect five hundred Sambos with the mercury at 100 degs. ; I would suddenly let loose this mass of fetid current upon those who know not any difference between the races. Tais at least would be evidence of how much stronger are the , "brndder holacks ;" and in "my mind's eye" I can see , /toneat women retreat in a whirlwind of disgust . , shame, and murtification. If slavery is wrong, which has to be decided by those alone among whom it exists, the false education of white children of perfeot equality of the blacks, is a monstrous wrong, an infamy which, if per petuated, must bring curses and confusion upon any people or country. There are a few land speculators here whose merits are as well understood and appreciated as they are in your city. As usual with this class, they are ever ready to portray magnificent streets and residences, and rail roads and gas-works. Unfortunately for them, the bare lying—laying, I mean to say—of the latter, sooner or later, consumes their shadowy fortunes, drawn by the pnrcbae of a few forest acres, which they would induce innocent and benevolent minds to believe would soon grow churches, schoolhouses, and babies, instead of wild trees and barren rocks. At the sailing of the last steamer from San Francisco, the excitement about the new goad dis coveries at the Fritter River was on the increase, and tliousands were preparing to leave for 'he new diggings. The following are extracts of private letters to gentlemen in New York city : " San Francisco Jane 4. "You will be astonished to hear of the Frazsr River excitement. There is not a doubt of the gold fields being extensive and exceedinely rich—as rich and large as the Califrilia. placers of '49, and, if report be true, more rich. The excitement iu the State is immense, and thou samis ard awaiiin the news by the Panama, now coming. If she confirms former reports, there will be a grand exodus from here. This nem gold field must start as lin:noose immigration from the Atlantic Stater." Aucnther letter states : " Tiie all ab2orbing topic just now is the new diggings at Franz ?:'S RveT, which has vet all California in-s blaze —alin. - ist equal to the first days of the discovery of gold. The miners in many parts of the country are preparing to leave, and for the next four months the ships on the route cannot carry the crowds that will offer. I will not give my opinion as to the permanency of the new ii covert' arid the effect of it on our population, but othEr3 better informed than I am Bay it will strip this State fat 1,114 25,000 the coming year.
