The barony and estate of Islay, comprising the island of Islay and small adjacent islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and Glasgow, and is one of the richest and most productive properties in the west of Scotland. It contains about 140,000 acres. of which 34,000 are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture. Tho present rental of this magnificent property amounts at present to 20,000/4 but a Government grant of 30,000/. is now being ex pended in drainage and Improvements. The rents are periodically and legitimately increased as the leases fall in, a - 14 it is evident that such a property must, under improved agriculture, afford a much larger return. Ihe purchase, it is expected, will be effected for about 500,000/., aid it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose, and contingent expenses, of 600,000/., in 12,000 51/. shares, each shareholder to nominate a life, ant the whole body of nominees to be insured out of the rental, so as to secure the repayment of his subscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The remainder of the accumulated rental is to be divided every ten years amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the estate. On the basis of 12,000 p.dicies, iu respect of the 12,000 nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general businsss se' a lite assurance company, so as to secure an annual dividend of profits. Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton tine, will, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of in terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of the general life assurance department (and the basis and guarant :e indicated cannot fail to make this branch most extensive and :itera tive) ; he will, moreover, participate, every ten years h's nominee survives, in the accumulated and constantly improving rental ; and, in the ev nt of his nominee being the. last survivor, will become the abso'nte owner, in fee simple, of the entire estate. It is also to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en hanced. The principles of the proposed Tontine have been maturely con sidered by F. G. I'. Neison, Esq , the eminent actuary of the Me dical and Invalid Assurance Company, and recelvsd his entire ap probation. The esti to is to be vested in three trustees, resident in Scotland.

SAN FRANCISCO, UPPER. CALIFORNIA, JULY 2 S 3 much has of late been written about California that I do not think it necessary to trouble you with more than a few remarks upon San Francisco, its commercial capital. This town, which, until the dis• covery of the " gold diggings," consisted of a few huts and of one good house (a post of the Hudson Bay Company) is situated on a slope of a range of low, bleak, sandy hills on Yerba Buena Bay, one of the numerous bays coanprebended in what is generally known abroad as the "Bay of San Francisco," and which is one of the most magnificent sheets of inland water in the world. " San Francisco Bay," as the name is generally applied, is a misnomer. The waters known by that name form an inland sea of many miles in extent, Tan i-locked, the entrance being nar row, of less than two miles in width, and compre hending the Bays of San Pablo, Sancelito, San Pedro, Sinsun, &c., besides a great many creeks. The sea is studded with ie'ands ; that called Angel Island, standing opposite to San Francisco, is a bold triangular mountain, skirted round its base with Wood, and sup porting herds of wild cattle of a very handsome breed, and chiefly of a white colour. Most of the other islands are barren. The scenery of the coast is throughout picturesque, and in many parts grand, but it wants colouring ; the absence of green for the greater portion of the year imparting to the entire range a character of sameness that tires the eye. San Francisco is increasing rapidly by means of emigration from all parts of Europe and,the Americas, as well as from China, and all the islands in the Pa cific. The buildings are almost all wooden, and are run up with amazing quickness. The population is of so shifting a character that it is impossible to com pute it. There are constant arrivals from abroad, and constant departures for the interior to the gold regions. During the last two months the number of houses has been doubled. It is difficult to give a correct report upon trade. The supply is abundant, but the demand is varied and uncertain. The trade of this place does not increase in proportion to the increase of emigration, because a great many of the emigrants bring goods for sale and provisions for their own use, besides houses to live in. The trade of the place is much overdone, and there is a glut of many goods in the market, the fleet of mer chantmen now in the harbour having brought varied and large cargoes from all parts, so that a vast amount of money will be lost by shippers generally. I had wished to have appended to this letter a general price current, but from the fact that no general or uniform system of mercantile business has yet taken root, a general price current could nut be relied upon. Almost every one here is more or less of a merchant just at present. The town is studded with stalls, tents, " ehankies," and tables, where all the heterogeneous articles of human con sumption are vended wholesale and retail at every variety of price. The tendency of prices is down • ward decidedly, and great caution is necessary in speculating to this market. Goads sent here from the old established marts of the South Pacific have for some time back left a loss, and are now selling at lower rates than they would command in Chili and Peru. The consequence is that several invoices lately arrived from Chia are about to be returned, as not being worth paying duties and charges on in the present depressed state of the market. Then, again, it is difficult to make up an assort ment for this market in its present state. Not only is the population varied, changeable, and uncertain, but it is to be remembered that it is not the ordinary and natural exigencies of a community that are to be provided for. What must be provided for, in a great measure, are the desires, whims, tastes, and caprices of men hitherto unused to wealth, suddenly enriched by gold digging, cars ied away by sudden impulses into a vortex of extravagance and all sorts of wild indulgences; reckless in their expenditure, and indulging in luxuries that they formerly knew only by name. Hence the great de:nand for cham pagne and liquors of the first class, and of preserved meats and fruits, and other delicacies, which has all along existed, and which still continues, although the increased supply has lowered the price. For general information I quote the prices which I know to have been obtained for some articles within the last few days, at wholesale and duty paid : "Lember—American pine, 375 dolls. per 1,000 feet; Swedish pine, 250 dolls. to 275 dolls. ; Chilian lumber (Aieree boards, &c.) assorted, 300 dolls. per 1,000 feet. " Flour, per sack of two quintals (200 lbs. Spanish), 9 dolls.; abundant, but demand improving. Lumber sold a month ago as high as 400 dolls, per 1,000 feet; and flour, three months ago, sold as high us 18 dolls, per quintal. " Potatoes, the produce of California, 12 dolls. per quintal (of 100 lbs.); scarce and in demand. ".Hams, 36c. per lb.; mess beef, 1 doll. 50c. per barrel; abundant, no demand. " Pres?rved Meats-16 dolls. to 20 dolls, per dozen. "Sardines-22 dolls, per dozen in half-boxes. "Green Peas (preserved) -14 dolls. per doz3n. " Cheese (Dutch)-35c. per lb. "French prunes, 5 dolls. 50c. per jar of 111 b. " French brandy (in case), 16 dolls. per dozen. Eng lish brandy preferred, but none in cases in the market. Martell's (English) brandy in cask, 6 dolls. per gallon, but difficult of sale, as are 011:guars in wood, bottles being of more convenient carriage to the mines. " Champagne, 15 doll?. 4c. to 25 dolls. and 30 dolls. per dozen, ace rding to quality. "Port—No demand. "Sherry-1 doll. 37e. to 1 doll. 750.; moderate demand. " Madeira-2 dolls. per gallon; little demand. "Madeira in Botths-3 dolls. 50c. to 4 dolls. 75c. per dozen. " Rum (New England) -550. to 75c. per gallon, ac- cording to quality. " Wlihkey (Monongahalia)-1 doll. 50c. to 1 doll. 750. "Gin (Dutch)— In cases, 6 dolls. per d( " Ale —Bass's, 7 dolls. 50c. per dozen. Soma of this ale, brought here Lady from China, fetched this quotation. " Glasgow Ale—Tennant's and Baird's, 7 dolls. per dozen." All classes of " dry goods" and ready-made clothes are so abundant as to sell only at and under cost prices. Prints realize only Manchester prices in many cases. All goods for the interior are purchased in San Francisco, 'and selected to meet the demand in the Placers or "gold diggias," and the interior market is rather fluctuating from the wandering habits of the "diggers," and from its being dependent upon their " luck" being good or bad. The American tariff of 184 d is in force, and foreign vessels pay tonnage dues at the rate of one doll, per register ton. All foreign vessels under the burden of 70 tons are permitted to engage in the coasting trade, and to run on the rivers which lead to the gold regions. Foreign vessels can procure a licence from the Custom-house to enter any of the rivers, but they are not allowed to return to San Francisco. In California there is de facto , no Governme n t a n d no administration of justice. Those establishments are in a novel if not in an unpr ece d ented s t ate . General Riley is Governor of California, and resides at Monterey, the nominal seat of Government. Com miylore Jones is Commander-in - Chief of the naval forces, and has his flag hoisted onboard the Warren frigate, at present in San Francisco harbour.; and General Smith is Commander - in-Chief of the land forces in California and Oregon, and has his head quarters in San Francisco. This array o f authority looks well on paper, but from tne desertion of soldiers and sailors (particularly the former), the arm of military power is almost powerless. The military are posted in different parts of the countrp_ a f ew at the Presidio of San Francisco, about three miles and a half from this, situated near the entrance to the harbour from the ocean. A small party of men is at Venicia, and several small parties are p os t e d at diffe rent parts of the Sacramento river, the great highway to the gold region. All the soldiers are all owe d in cbalgences to preserve their fidelity. Those at the Presidio are permitted to come into San Francisco to , work at all manner of jobs on their own account, by turns, on leave of absence. They are also allowed the use of the Government cars and wag gons, which they let out on job; while the m e n in the interior are allowed furloughs to go to the paceros, to try their hands at "iigging,. by turns, the produce of their labours forming a common fund. In the absence of legislative measures by the American Congress for the government of California, the Administration of the country is attempted to be carried on by a mixed, and necessarily confused, sys tem of Spanish law, grafted on American institutions, which is found impossible to amalgamate and im practicable to work. The only semblance of a court of justice which exists in Francisco is that vested in the office of akalde. TF:e functions and attri butes of this magistrate, if fully carried out according to Spanish (Mexican) law, are incompatible with American notions of civil and criminal jurisprudence —inconsistent with free institutions, and totally repugnant to the feelings and sentiments of American citizens. Hence a good deal of bitterness of feeling has been engendered, and a conflict has arisen between the alcalde (an American) and many of his fellow. citizens. This state of things led to callous but characteristic proceedings. I will give a short summary of them. Some months back a public election took place here by universal suffrage in the widest sense of the term (for votes w :re admitted without regard to qualifica tion by citizenship) for the ostensible object of supplying the district with a Government. Out of the memb e r s so e l ec t e d h as sprung a b o dy styling itself " The Legislative Asseasbly of the district of San Francisco." This Assembly completed its arrangements by appointing a staff of salaried officers, such as a" Speake r ," " Cl er k , " " Sh er iff s, " & e . One ofits earliest acts was to abolish the office of alcalde on a charge of malfeasance, preferred or alleged against the officer filling the office. It then called upon this officer to deliver up the archives of his office. The alcalde resisted, and applied to General Riley, the Governor. The General remitted the case to a committee of' a few of the citizens to investigate the charges. This committee, instead of following the General's instructions, recommended the abolition of the office. The General, not considering himself justified in according his concurrence with the recommendation of the committee, on the ground that the country must remain under Mexican law until Congress abolishes it, and substitutes another constitution, the matter dropped fur a time. By and bye the Assembly renews its demand on the alcalde, which he for some time evaded compliance with. At length the Assembly brought the affair to an issue by sending its sheriff, with a posse, who took possession of the records vi et armis. The alcalde showed fight on the occasion by presenting a loaded pistol, which, as he told me, he always kept at hand, "as an auxiliary in the dispensing of justice" from the judgment-seat, and threatening to fire at any one who touched his "papers." The sheriff had anticipated him. He presented a six-barrelled revolver at the bead of the magistrate, when the latter, as he expressed himself the next day, " seeing his chance of the first shot to be lost, gave up further resistance." The sheriff and his satellites possessed themselves of what books and papers they thought might be the records of the office, and carried them away to the " Hall of the Assembly," where they remain locked up and in accessible to the public. The dethroned alcalde pre ferred a second complaint in person to the Governor at Monterey, whereupon a proclamation was issued re pudiating the conduct of the " Assembly, on the ground that its members had "usurped powers which are vested only in the Congress of the United States." This proclam a ti on an d a counter address from the As setnbly you will see in the Alta Californiet of the 14th of June, which I forward by this mail. The alcalde has, after a short interregnum, resumed his functions. He has opened a new set of records for land title • deeds, and for other judicial and notorial proceedings passed in his office. He expected to have had his re cords restored during General Riley's stay here for a few days last week ; but he told me two days ago that, on the General's return to the seat of Govern ment, the Assembly had become "refractory" and de clined to part with them. The proceedings of the Assembly are naturally the subject of a good deal of comment. Some persons remade that its functions, or rather its self assumed functions, are monstrous. They are certainly ano malous, to say the least. Some of their edicts are of an imperial charater—such as we see issue from a supreme legislature in the old countries of Europe, while-others of their " acts " are of a municipal cha racter. They passed a " revenue law," untle•r the date of the 24th of May last, whereby they impose duties as follow :—Upon auction sales, a duty of I?L i per cent. upon the amount of sales : upon all mer chants, traders, and tavernkeepers, 200 dolls. a year, payable quarterly in advance; upon hawkers and pedlars, 600 dolls. a year, payable monthly in ad vance ; upon billiard-table keepers, ten-pin alley keepers, and other gambling house keepers, 180 dolls. a year, payable monthly in advance. The merchants and others above designated were very hostile to this measure; but what with bullying some and cajoling others, " smartness " enough has been displayed- to collect a very respectable " contribution" out of the inhabitants, which goes to pay the necessary expenses of the Assembly in devoting themselves to the interests of " the people." It is likely that the reign of this august body, however pleasant it may be, will soon be at an end. In the absence of a constitutional and universally acknowledged and respected Government, of an effective military force, of legally appointed tribunals of justice, of municipal authorities, of a militia, and of a police, it would be naturally supposed that this country was in a state of anarchy, confusion, and disorder, if not of riot, rapine, and bloodshed. This is far from being the case, however extraordinary the assertion may appear. Merchandize of all sorts, fur niture and liquors, are exposed in the streets, on the beach, in open yards—in short, all over the town, owing to the want of warehouse room for storage, and remain (except in very few and solitary instances) untouched by the hands of the robber and the thief. There are few crimes or misdemeanours of a public character committed, and until lately the general re marks in San Francisco were—" How very quiet the place is." " Walk were you will of a dark night, and alone into the most lonely spots, and you are un molested." " Hew peaceable the people." And " What security is felt with such unprecedented op po:tunities for the commission of all sorts of out- rages." The Americans unriddle the enigma by the fact that the American people are well accustomed to self-government—" they govern themselves, and never see at home any display of authority over them." The only exception to the above general character of good order which is worth citing, i= that of the conduct of about 50 young men, moot of them 4i3- banded volunteers, the scum of the cities of North America, and who are known by the generic term of " Rowdies," and by the more peculiar cognomen of "Hounds," which they delight in, who, infesting the taverns and gambling houses all day, where they are generally drunk or muddled, get up " spreei" at night, by passing practical jokes upon the inhabitants which are in most instances ill-natured and brutal. The value of real property has risen beyond com putation in San Francisco, and rents have kept pace with the advance of real estate as a natural conse quence. A lot of land which was offered a year ago to a friend of mine for 1,000 dolls , and which he re fund as being overvalued, sold in three lots within the last four months for 28,745 dulls. cash. Instances such as this are common. A house built this year, which cost about 40,030 dolls., was let a few days ago to a tenant for one year at the rent of 40,000 dulls. ; thu3 returning the capital inveted in one year ; besides that the owners have oc cupied the house for some monthsback themselv.i. A year ago the house in which I am now writing was let for and after the rate of 50 dol!s, per annum ; it is now rente.l at 1,800 dolls., and will fetch very soon a good sum over and above the present rent. The value of houses may be judged from the enormous price of lumber which I have quoted in the first part of this letter. Labour is very high. A common porter gets 7 dolls a day wages; a labourer, 5 dolls.; a carpenter or other workman (+radesman), 8 dolls.; a journey man, 12 dolls., and if a competent hand to superintend a job, as high as 16 dolls. a day ; a cook or steward gets 150 dolls. a month ; sai!ors. 6 dolls. a day for jobbing; about the harbour, and 150 dolls. a month regular pay fora voyage. Trovis'iOns, ahno , .i ail of which consumed in the place are of foreign growth (except beef and a little mut!on) are high in proportion. Butter, 2 dolls. per lb. ; milk is 50c. a quart, and scarce ; eggs are very scarce, and worth at a cafe 3 reals eacli(ls. 2d. sterling). All the vegetables used are preserved, except a few potatoes, which come from Bodega and Ross on the coast. Agricultural operations are almost entirely suspended from the la bcurers having engaged in gold digging. Towns are springing up all over the country, as will be seen by the advertisements in the newspapers which I send by this mail. There are now in the bay 103 sail of merchantmen, of which 39 are American, 22 Chilian, 9 British, 7 Danish, 6 French, 4 llawailan, 4 Otahitian (Protec torate flag), 3 Mexican, 3 Peruvian, 2 Ilamburgh, 1 Spanish, 1 Bremen, 1 Ecuador, and 1 Portuguese, besides a fleet of small craft engaged in the navigation of the rivers San Joaquin and Sacramento and the inland waters of the bay. Her Britannic Majesty's ship Inconstant, Captain Sheppard, returned to this part on the 14th of June, . . from . a month's cruise to Vancouver's Island. Sao brought but little news from that distant quarter. Coal was being worked on Vancouver's Island to supply the American steamers plying between this place and Panama. The Oregon people had suffered molestation from the hostile Indians, which led to a recent encounter, in which several of the latter fell. The Inconstant did not enter the Columbia River. While she was lying at Whalers' Barbour, an an chorage situated on the opposite side of this bay, about seven miles west by north of San Francisco, at which vessels usually take in water, she lost one man by desertion. The day previous to her making the bay one of her man died from sickness. On the ves sel's anchoring, a Lieutenant's party was sent on shore to bury the body in a promontory close 1).7 the. anchorage, and while all were intent listening to the burial service one of the men slipped away from behind a bush, where he was allowed to go for the purpose of cutting a couple of twigs to mark the boundaries of the grave. One of the midshipmen gave chase, but the sailor outran him, and he was seen no more. On the vessel's return the other day, the men were sent on shore to water the ship, but none attempted to escape. When on duty, in con veying the officer to San Francisco some ten days ago to receive specie, the boat was guarded by two officers well armed. Immediately on landing the purser the boat shoved off, and lay some dis tance from the shore. By means of these precau tions no more men were lost a great novelty, as all vessels lose their men by desertion in this port. The Inconstant took in 130,000 dolls. in gold dust, and sailed direct for Valparaiso on the 24th of last month. Several merchant vessels have lately left the port, and there is now no difficulty in procuring sailors at 150 dolls. a month. Gold dust, which is at present rather scarce, fetches 15 dulls. 50c. per ounce troy, and is taken at 16 dolls, per ounce in payment for goods. News from the " gold diggins" encourage the hope that, during the present and next month an abundant harvest will be reaped, as the rivers are now getting low, which will enable the " diggers" to pursue their labours on the " ban," always the most profitable " locations." With regard to the gold region, which is now ex citing an interest a ll over the world, I cannot give a better account than can be gathered from the following extract, with which a friend has favoured me from his journal, kept during his journey into and his residence in the interior. This gentleman is a scientific and practical miner, at present engaged with a party of 14 men on the Juba River, and his information may be relied on : " Settling from San Francisco, you cross the bay of the same name to the leeward of Angel Island, enter the Bsy of San Pablo, and proceed up the Straits of Carquen to the new town of Benecia, where you enter the Bay of Susan (which I think i s Freshwater Bay' of B:echy), about twenty-fire miles north-west cf San Francisco. After passing the Bay of Susun (into which the Sacra mento empties itself) the river runs in a northerly three tion for about fifteen miles through a low marshy country. At this point the river forma two branches— one the main branch running a little to the eastward; and another called the Sleugh, or Sluice. This latter is generally the one taken by boats, as it cuts cif about eighteen miles of a bend which the main river forms, the country between the branch and the main stream forming an island of considerable extent, thickly wooded and full of lakes and swamps formed by the over flowing of the river. The banks, upon entering the Slough, become bold and woody on both sides, the principal timber being white oak of an inferior kind, the sycamore, and a kind of bastard beech. The gramens which I noticed upon this river are the wild tare, the lichen, and various species of trefoil. The earth is of a sandy alluvial character, with a sub , strata of black clayey mud. The banks of the river abound in deer and elk, hares and rabbits. Of the feline tribe I have noticed only one, killed by one of nay men, of the small panther spe cies. Grizzly bears, of a large size, are numerous. The ornithology of this part of the country is very poor and of very little variety, with the exception of the aquatic birds. Ducks, geese, the cormorant, and the stork are very numerous. The land birds noticed by me were the raven, the common crow, the jar falcon, and the white hawk, besides a species of mocking bird with a Mao plumage. I have also noticed one species of humming bird of the dwarf kind, with very beautiful red and grey n plumage. Rattlesnakes abound on the banks of the riser, although they are said not to be so venomous here as in the warmer regions. There are also several species of red and black streaked snakes, but they are perfecly harmless. The water abounds with salmon and trout of an excellent quality. " After passing the Sleugh, the river (Sacramento) makes a bold sweep almost due north, its width being about a quadra and a half (about 120 yards) Fellow ing this direction, you reach.a place called the Russian Embareadera, where the Russians formerly had an establishment for trading with the Indians. The fea tures of the banks of the river continue the same, with a flat fertile country in the back ground, covered with flowers of every description, and amongst the numerous bulbous plants I noticed some of the lily species, very large and beautiful. These • plains unbounded ou each side of the river by a range of mountains at a distance 'orabout 26 or 30 miles, those on the west side being low and apparently . wooded. Those on the eastern side consist of two distinct ridges, one apparently of secon ded, formation, from which the auriferous rivers de scend; and beyond this the Grand Snowy Ridge, or Cordillera of the Sierra Nevada, which as yet has been but little explored. " On the eighth day after leaving San Francisco we arrived at the new town called the Disembarcadera, situated near the junction of the Rio de los Americanos (American River) with the Sacramento. The banks here continue to maintain tbo same features as already described. At this point, leaving the larger vessel (a launch or barge), I proceeded up the river in a whale boat, to a distance of about 55 miles, where the river is joined by another of its tributaries, called Feather River. This river, which runs in a direction nearly due east, from the mountains to the Sacramento, is a broad, deep, rapid stream, its banks rather bolder than those of the other river, but presenting the same geological and bo tanical features; and it is singular to remark that none of those rivers, in their coarse towards the ocean, roll auy stones, and I believe but little gravel, along with them. No stones are to be found on the banks, the only thing approaching to them being tosc3,' a petrifaction of sand. The only shells found on the banks are a few bivalvula, or fresh water mussel. Proceeding up Feather River to a distance of about 50 miles, you como to the junction of the Yuba (or ' Juba'), the banks of which are covered with wild grapes. At this point I left the boats on account of the rapidity of the current, finding it too laborious to pull against the stream. I crossed a valley on horse back for about 15 miles, the whole of which is a magni ficent country, fertile in the extreme, covered with clumps of wood which reminded me of a park in Erg land; the weather, although only the end of April, un commonly hot, the thermometer standing at 90 degrees in the shadt, at raid• day; but the evenings and mornings remarkably cool and pleasant. After passing the plain I began to ascend the Alpine region. Here the face of nature changed suddenly, the vegetation being confined principally to the pine and dwarf beech, and a small shrub of the myrtle species, being a hard iron-wood with which the Indians point their arrows. The ground hero is of a red manly clay, and contains geld even to the summit of the hills, which are interspersed with large crags and rocks. The river to which you de scend to get into what is called the placers,' or geld washings, is a rapid dangerous mountain torrent, running between bold banks of crags and rocks, from the sand accumulated amongst which the gold i s was h e d out. As yet mining has been done in a very imperfect manner, by the adventurers who first flocked to these regions, and who, finding gold so abundant on the surface, gave themselves little trouble, and slid not care to penetreee into the bowels of the earth. The gold runs in a regular strata, formed, in my opinion, by the alluvial deposit fr,m the neighbouring hills, during a lapse of ages, and, as a na tural consequence, arising from the gravity of the metal, the sub-strata is infinitely richer th a n th a t upon t h e surface. I am at pr. sent (June, 1549) workieg at a place on the Juba where the geld hes already been taken from the surac e and I find, that the deeper I dig the richer the earth is. As a proof that this geld is all alluvial (or broui,bt down by the river), it is found in greater quantities at a bend where the river forms a bar. I 'Lave also observed that where the hills on the sides of the river are bold and precipitate, the auriferous deposit is generally greater than where they run in a gentle slope. As yet I have seen no veins of gold in these mountains, but a specimen of gold imbedded in a matrix of white quartz was shown to me, said !o have been brought from the Snowy Riage It was exceediegly rich, the greatest part of the stone (ore) being pure gold, and weighing about 41b. Troy. ‘• That the beds of these rivers contain incredible riches I have little doubt, because, after the freshets 'De cision:l by the melting of the snow are reduced, and a part of the course of the strerai is left dry, the earth dug cut is much richer than that found up the banks; which is easily accounted for, as the principal bed of the river receives the auriferous deposit from all the hills which it passes from its source, whereas the higher banks can only be enriched by the gold washed down from the nearest mountains. " Although there has been much exaggeration in the statements with regard to the gold in California which I had seen previous to my arrival in this country, never theless its riches appear almost incredible, and I whichel. know persons to have washed out in a very short under I will confine myself to the fact which my own personal observation, thatam round wooden bowl, ati h with a common washing-pan, which is merely t containing about the fourth , par o a f a bushel of earth, in obtains from one to two six or seven hours' labouo'lc, this the men ounces of gold—of pur a o o t t t al l ly d t( o )o in ; g a . nd Let me remark under :sly direction arc has never been got out of the that this is a sum wh ich of Chili or Peru, by a regular routine of gold washin gs labour, at their highest pitch of fertility s i nce t h e Con- quest." H ere my friend's journal goes into business parti culars and calculations, which I omit. His remarks on the Indians are interesting, and I will, therefore, give them : " The Indians (I believe some writers have called them 'root diggers ') in the district where I am at pre sent working are a quiet, peaceable, and timorous race, and appear to me to be about the rudest and most uncul tivated of all human beings. Their colour is a dark copper, they are small of stature, the formation of the head and features evidencing them to be of Asiatic origin. They generally go armed with bows and arrowe, but, have a great dread of a white man and firearms. They go perfectly naked, except the women, who wear a very primitive covering, much like that of our first mother, and vedch is merely a sma ll b unc h o f ras h es secured round the middle by a thong of the same frail material. They are very ill-featured (both sexes), LIFE DEPARTMENT. The attention of the public has, in the advertisements and pro posals of this Company of late years, been called to a Table of Additions applicable to and expectant on l'olicies of particular dates and ages ; the Directors now beg to sulmAt th., following statement of Claims actually paid, showing the. sums re,pectiv,ly assured and the Bonuses thereon, and they request, in order to exemplify the advantageous plan of Assurance proposed by this Company, that persons desirous of eillcting Assurances on their own lives or on the lives of others, will compare the statement now sub mitted, with the addition or bonus of any of the other offices which may apply to a Policy issued by them since 1816, when the Atlas Company adopted the Bonus System. 714,t 0 ,-! .0 t .0000c0Nc0.00cc,.,00.. g 'G.,9,g5g 3 7 „. g r 4 4iv....m,m.v.

" Each tribe has its own separate and distinct lan guage, and this is net at all similar to any other lan ,guagl which I have ever heird in my travels amongst the Indians of Peru, Bal:vix, or Chili. It is, however, by no means harsh, but on the contrary, their word 3 appear to contain a great many vowels. They arc ex• ecedingly jealous of their squaws, though those ladies are but little calculated to tempt any Lotharios who may reside temporarily in their vicinity at the mines." The following I took down from my friend's dic tation : /--- [PRICE SD. " I will conclude with the mention of perhaps the most remarkable fact connected with this remarkable country, which is, that although we are entirely without laws or authority in the mines (as indeed is the ca7e in all other parts of the country), and although the miners are gene rally composed of a bold, daring, and adventurous race, a code of honour and justice has been voluntarily esta blished amongst themselves, which is strictly observed. No miner encroaches upon the washing-ground of his neighbour, although he sees sometimes that it is vastly richer than his own. Robbery has been hitherto en tirely unknown; and you leave your tent, containing your goods, provisions, and gold (the latter buried, how ever), and go out to your labour without leaving behind any other safeguard than the good faith of your neigh bours, which on the river Juba has never been violated; though, in case of violation, it has been agreed upon by all that summary and severe chastisement would follow. The penalty of a conviction of robbery before a jury of miners would be certain and speedy death by hanging to a bough of the nearest tree." I omitted to mention in the proper place that the gold of the Juba is contained in a fine black sand, containing oxide of iron in abundance, which can be extracted easily with the loadstone, after the gold has been washed cleats with water. Although I know the foregoing narrative to be true, for I have had the facts corroborated by many witnesses, yet I am bound to warn such of your readers as its perusal might dispose to leave their homes for this land of promise, that gold digging is a most laborious and almost killing occupation. The narrator is a gentleman —a scientific man—with ample means at his command, and Chi!ean-Perus, or semi-serfs from his own estate, who look upon him as they would on a small deity. They row his launches and boats against rapid streams and strong currents, saddle his horses, cook his food, and dig his gold. They carry on all the material operation. His is the mental labour only. Far different is the task of the poor working gold digger. After he gets, by great labour and at a considerable expense, to the scene of operations, his hard work really only begins. He must be constantly in the water to carry on the operation of washing gold; and the work which is performed in a stooping posture, is so hard, that while his feet are im mersed in coal water the upper part of his body is streaming with profuse perspiration, with a burning sun over head. Then his living, unless he spends the best portion of his earnings, is poor and very expen sive, and his lodging is oftener than net on the cold ground. Then again, he may net be successful. All are not lucky. Gold finding is like gambling—the dice may throw high, , they m a y b eggar the player. In s h or t, the nglish nasigator, the Scottish ditchutan, and the Irish hudnian, still do well at digging, if they do not overwork themselves ; but to all others I would say, "La aye well alone." It is madness to a tnan who cannot sleep out under a tree, eat the hardest of faro, and endure great fatigue, to turn a working gold miner. The best route for emigrants from Great Britain is round Cape Horn. All other routes are expensive and uncertain, and have hitherto led to great delay and inc anvenience.— Tinzes. TIIE REGISTRAIONS.

WESTERN AFRICA. •—• Letters from St. Louis Senegal), of July 25, give the details of a sanguinary engagement which had taken place between the French troops and the inhabitants of the village of Francyee (Fonts Torn), some distance up the river. The people from the neighbouring villages had joined them to re shl the invasion of the French, and encouraged by a victory which their countrymen had gained over the French some forty years since, the negroes waited the approach of their assailants with great firmness, not firing a single shot until the expedition was within eighty yards of them. The blacks were protected be hind barricades, and nothing but the muzzles of their muskets were visible. At length the firing began, and for twenty minutes the most determitrd resistance was made; at length, the cannon having partly demolished the barricades, to charge was ordered, and they were soon carried at the point of the bayonet, when a general Tout too place, the blacks throwing away their arms, and jumping into the river to swim to the opposite bank. Several discharges of grape were made at them, and a number of them were killed, after which the village and all the fields Of nnize were set fire to and destroyed. The of the blacks is considered to have been very great, although only fifty of their bodies were found, the rest havit g been thrown into the river. The loss of the ex peaitien amounted to 4 killed nod about 30 a nunded, or whome were Europeans. The Governor himself was wounded, but not seriously, just as he was mounting his horse.

It is understood that the United Mexican Mining Company arc endeavouring to get an arragement with the Mexican Government for a liquidation of their Za catecas claims, and, with the view of obtaining the pro per attention of the authorities on the subject, a commu nication has been addressed to Lord Palmerston. The answer received to this letter is, so far as it goes, satis factory, inasmuch as Mr. Addington says he is "directed to state that an instruction has been sent to Mr. Doyle, her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires in Mexico, desiring him again to press upon the Mexican Government the claims of certain British subjects residing at Zacatecas, on account of the exaction or a forced contribution under the Mexican decree of June 17, 1547."

THE MOST DURABLE OUT-DOOR PAINT EVER INVENTED (lARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other Go vernments, the lion. Fast India Company, the Principal Deck Coin panle,,, and other public belies, &c., is particularly recommended to the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manufacturers, West India Pro prietors, and others, it having been proved by the practical test of more than sixty years to surpass all other paints as an out-door pre servative. It is extensively used for the protection of wooden houses, farm and other out-buildings, farming implements, conservatories, park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, cop; er, zinc, lead, brick, stone, old comp o, and stucco fronts, and tiles to represent slating. The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to every ether paint for out door purposes may be easily inferred from the simple fact, that its use has been always most strenuously opposed by colour manufac turers, painters, oil and colourmen, and others interested in the sale of common paints. It is also very economical, any labourer being able to ay it on.
