THE SUN, SPORT ING NOTES. No. XXIX. SCRAPS FROM EPSOM AND NEWMARKET. LONDON, THE REVENUE FOR THE YEAR AND QUARTER "Pregnant with thousands fits the scrap about."—PorE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six,—Thu Ban's victory at Epsom in the race for the Metrapolitan Handicap had a most electrical I - fleet upon the nerves (,f the public; the horse sent to the scene of action at thelast moment was actually lett out of the list of starters on the cards of the day, and consequently, except while running, and in a few other rare instances, not backed for a single farthing; several of the book-makers cleared handsome stakes varying from 2,0001. to 10,0001., but in not one single instance have I heard of any of the public, with the exception of Sir J. Hawley, who only sported a cool hundred on it, dropping in for a " good thing." I, having understood that he would not be sent, did not take his chance into consideration, but gave the race to Cr,us and Sunrise, who ran home a bad third and font th. My selection for the Two years old Stakes, Flirt and the Old Lad, were first and second; they beat a large field, but all behind them belong to the trashy class. The great City crack, Princa Rupert, that was to have carried all before him, verified my prophetic words in Note No. 26, where I remarked, that it was " with him as with The Greek at Northampton, HIS DAY has not arrived. I was on the wrong scent altogether for the City and Suburban Handicap; old Etthiron, with Bst 51b on his back, winning very cleverly from Eva, same age, 6st 91b, and Pitsford, 4 yrs, Bst 51b—there was not half a length between the trio. The ,performance of; the last named must be borne in mind; it was first rate he gave his year to Elthiron, and his year and 191bs to Eva, allowing for her sex. The day's sport altogether was excellent, and indicative of what we may expect throughout the year. Ou Friday last I put forth my view of the New market running for the present week, and up to the present time find I have but few alterations to make in the same. To-day's races will have a slight effect upon future events, as, bar an accident, in my opinion, it is a certainty for Midas for the R. M. Stakes, which if it proves so, he will put in a stronger appearance in the Derby market, and may find supporters for the Two Thousand Guineas; and, moreover, should Iris win the D. M. Stakes, beating Coticula, it will make her a great pet for the Ono Thou sand Guineas and Oaks. The running and jumping ca pers of the high-spirited Hesse Homburg at Epsom sent her up some fifty per cent, in my estimation for the New market Handicap; which fact, with the price at which she was being backed on the Downs, was published in the Express Edition of The Sun on Friday evening. In note No. 28, of that day, I selected Antigone as the re presentative of the Goodwood stable; she is, however, now superseded by Hesse Homburg, who, in my opinion, will supersede all others in the race; the result, I fancy, will be something after this style:— HESSE HOMBURG QUASIMODO or CHAMPION BUSHRANGER or WINDISCHGRATZ 3 No. I.—An Abstract of the Net Produce of the Revenue of Great Britain in the Years and Quarters ended 5 the Increase or Decrease on each head there'd. • Exclusive o: ,f Advances, Bushranger and Windischgratz have been supported heavily during the last few days, and their prices this morning are quoted at 6 and 4to I. It is said Pitsford will go; if he does, he will run up. Hernandez will win the Riddlesworth, and find backers for the Derby at 33 to 1, or else will be beaten by Naptha, and sent to the right about. The field for the Column Stakes, it is pre sumed, will consist of Lady Sale filly, Payment, Ariosto, Merry Peal, Black Sea, or Palmyra filly, Trinket and Hatherton; the result as follows : ARIOSTO (Nat) 1 PAY MEN T (Bartholomew) 2 MERRY PEAL (Marson) 3 The field for the Port Stakes is likely to be larger thau I anticipated last week, viz:—Clincher, the Knight of Avenel, Bee Hunter, Officious, and King of Oude. The latest betting up to twelve o'clock this day:— Riddlesworth-2 to 1 on Hernandez. Newmarket Hau dicap-2 to 1 agst Hasse Homburg, 9 to 2 agst Win dischgrats, 6 to 1 agst Bushranger, 8 to 1 agst Cham pion. Column Stakes—Even on Ariosto. Port Stakes —Even on The Bee Hunter, 3 to 1 agst the Knight of Avenel, sto 1 agst Clincher. 2,000 Guineas—New minster in force at 3to 1. Derby and Chester Cup— no change.

(avitax MONDAY AND WEDNSSDA.Y.) Sir,—On Wednesday the 2nd came the question of the second reading of the County Franchise Bill. No body doubts that the extension of the county franchise is a good thing, as it is a good thing for a man to open his doors and •go away to his work by six o'clock in the morning. But if the man have got a hint that an enemy is waiting to enter and take possession, he will be a wise man if he defers the opening till nine. This is precisely the present case. There are clear indications that the County Franchise Bill is pushed forward, not with a view to promote the obtaining its object, but to serve some project of the actors, involving the weightiest loss and damage to the ultimate pros pects of progress in the direction professed, even to the extent of driving out the Government which has engaged to move in the direction desired, and bringing in one bit terly opposed to it. For my own abare in this business, I fall back upon professional' prejudices; and if you bject to them, you ought to have considered it before you elected me. I won't give up my post. I was sent to Parliament to sup port Free Trade and the Extension of the Suffrage. And though it has been grief and bitterness of heart to me to see how the first of these causes in particular was aban doned to the enemy,—to see how the golden opportunities for exploding the blunders and fallacies of the Protec tionists during three sessions of Parliament have been thrown away, and now the question is to be brought to the test of a General Election while one side has been casting away its advantages, and the other has been fighting up its cause from day to day with all the vigour which great talents, great interests, and great influence can command;—though I have been doomed to see this without being able to help it, because when ono set of advocates have been sent to the House of Commons as the declared supporters of a cause, the House will not tolerate the interference of an interloper in the shape of a borough representative who makes his appear ance in the following Parliament;—though to all this I may be obliged to submit with such patience as I may, I will not be cajoled into giving up my post and entering into a plan for bringing in a Protectionist Government, by any representations of the good that is to arise to anybody from fighting the Corn-law question over again, or the excellent men who are to be brought into notoriety and power as the final result of thus throwing the thing away when we have got it. I am not inclined to mince the subject. If ever there was a political party that deserved to be beaten, it is what calls itself the Free-Traders. They have wooed and courted defeat and the restoration of their enemies, by acts both of omission and commission. The latter part begins to explain the former. Without charging them with anything beyond human infirmity, they have allowed themselves to be bewildered by the phantom of some power which they could never wield, and which no substantial portion of the community would trust them with for a fortnight; and fur the sake of this phantom, like the unhappy dog in the fable, they have hen content to-give up the meat that was in their mouths, and try the chances of restoring your bitterest enemies to power. And all the time they have been thus engaged, their opponents have been sowing the seeds of strength, by quietly rallying all whom a sense of indivi dual interest could collect to their banner, planting their dogmas in Parliament with the reputation of being un confuted and unanswered, and displaying all the qua lities of foresight, perseverance, and discretion, which are equally at the command of a bad cause and a good. I say again, if the merits of the combatants on the two sides were to settle it, you would all have to turn into the poor-house, that Lord Stanley and his regiment might take the bread out of your mouths. I confess to having been once under the delusion, that the commercial community of England under its actual organization was competent to find rulers for the State. Tyre, Carthage, Venice, Genoa, Holland, floated before my eyes, and made me believe in the possibility of such a consummation. The single fact that they had not the genius to maintain their post while they had it, has plunged me into the lowest depths of that change of mind which constitutes repentance and conversion. I have been told I said a strong thing on one part of the subject. I said I had as lief see London six weeks in the occupation of a foreign enemy, as the Protectionists six weeks in power;—that though the evil might be more concentrated, it would not be greater in amount. I used the obsolete but thoroughly English phrase, on purpose to be able to swear to it; and I am here to maintain the literal truth of the assertion. That there would be great suffering, fearful loss of life, before the one conclusion was arrived at, nobody can deny. But what would be the suffering, what the loss of life if you and all who stand in your position throughout this wide country, were to be starved down to the measure of Pro tectionist permission to exist? Have I not seen the Siege of Bolton? Do Y not know how the weak among you must die in holes and corners, under lingering courses of thin porridge in which Blade arsenic would be a mercy ? And have I not the power to calculate how far the total of the suffering thus spread like nau seous butter over the surface of the land, would ex ceed the lump, however disgusting, which could be temporarily concentrated in the limited area in the other case supposed? No; if we were . to have our choice like David, let us fall into the hands of all and anybody rather than of such men, as those who call themselves the Free-Traders are at this moment eager to bring into the Government. I am glad to see an evening paper (Globe) repeating my figure of :speech, and a noble Duke giving it vogue by referring to it at a political dinner. He does not seem to have quoted from a verbally correct report; and if he had, I should have disabled his infer ence, by asking what reason there was for concluding me disposed to do the Lord's work slackly, in either of the caeca which were presented as parallel. Liberal after Liberal, men of undoubted attachment to the cause they profess, rose to implore the mover not to persist in his motion; and he ended by an indecisive kind of declaration, -that he would not personally de mand a division. But the power that is behind, did it for him, and not more than ono or two known Liberals had the resolution' to resist the imposition by voting against it. The morsel prepared for us is this. A party blinded by some prospect of power or influence to accrue to themselves, shape a motion for a purpose laudable in itself, but under 'circumstances where it is visibly intended to do mischief and bring in an enemy. And then we are to be asked on our allegiance, to swallow the pill. It is exactly the case formerly pre sented. An enemy stands at your door at six in the morning and says, " Now as you value the reputation of an industrious hard-working man, go to your work and let me in." And this is what is to be presented to us, as often as may suit. Though the presenter should clothe himself as an angel of light, I will do again as I did before, and vote against everything that is hostile to the permanent interest of my constituents. In the " Votes and Proceedings" of Thursday, is a curious mistake in the notice of a Petition from Brad ford. It is found commemorated under the head of " Slave Trade," as a Petition for " suppression of the slay() trade in the United States of America ;" the fact being, that it was a Petition lor interference in behalf of British seamen taken out of their ships in ports of America, and imprisoned during the stay of their vessels, on account of their complexion. As mistakes will happen in the beat-regulated families, this may be set down as a clerical error; and you will see the matter correctly reported in the ac count of Petitions in the morning papers, as notably the Times and Post. On the whole, however, it might not be amiss, if some who were riot engaged in the pre sent Petition would petition again, either in the same terms or with such amplification as should make a re petition of the mistake impossible. On Friday the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought forward his altered Budget. His progress was a tri umph. The Free-Traders, with the exception of their accredited leaders, gathered round him, and avowed the contest to be, between raising the public supplies from the rich and from the destruction of monopolies, and raising them from a tax on bread. It was quite sur prising to see the number of Members who turned out in support of the principle of an income-tax; I had no ides the truth had made such way. The moment is critical for the working classes, who are in the act of rising in political power and importance. Either they will know that it is their battle that is fighting, or they will not. According to the knowledge they display on this subject, and the course they take in consequence, will depend whether they shall gain or not by the pre sent tide which is in their favor.

JEWISH DISABILITIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,— Ido not pen these few lines with any expecta tion of ever finding consistency in human legislation, nor with any view of arguing the subject to which I am about to refer; but I write merely to call your own at tention to what I have just read in your paper. On the 3d instant, according to your Parliamentary report, Sir Robert Inglis opposed the admission of Jews into our Legislative Assembly because they were k a n u o n w fi l t e d t g o i i 3 legislate and because he considered it his duty to " maintain the Christian interest intact in the Legisiature , " thus ac the House of Commons the right place for religious law-making. Oil turning, however, to another column of the same paper I find the Hon. Baronet on the very next evening opposing Sir B. Bull, and "protesting against this House being made the arena of any religious discussion, because it contained iu it men who were not fitted for legislation on any subject connected with the Church." Now, Sir, not merely does gross inconsistency thus attach to Sir R. Inglis, and all of like sentiments, but I should like to know who it is has made the payment of church-rates and other ecclesiastical dues obligatory on IBC it our law-makers are thus " unfit to legislate on any subject connected with the Church?" You, Sir, can treat these inconsistencies and fooleries and oppression and Inpocricies with less indignation than myself, and therefore I leave them with this short condemnation. I am, Sir, yours, &c., Cheltenham, April 5 .

Member who ia a great advocate for applying money to the reduction of the national debt, advanced, in perfect sincerity and conviction there can be no doubt, that the working classes were not interested is the taxes being paid by the rich instead of by themselves, because what was taken from the rich was so much taken from what they could expend upon the working classes. Now in this I observe the mistake, of not perceiving that though not expended on the working classes by the rich from whom it is taken, it is expended on them by the Government that takes it. Put the case fur instance which the West Riding ought perfectly to understand, that 20,0001. is taken from the rich, and expended on soldiers' clothing. Is there any consequence in the ag gregate, but that tenter-hooks at Leeds and Halifax blush scarlet, instead of displaying the cooler variety of sad colours? And when Hon. Gentlemen tax the country to the amount of what would fit out thirty sail of the line, to spend upon a baby-house which has not room for the members of the House of Commons when it is done, is there any doubt of the money being spent upon the working classes, though not in the same places as if it had been left with the owners? In confirms- tion of which, you shall sometimes hear men advo cating taxation on the ground that it raises money to be spent upon the working classes. The evil then is not here at all, but in the fact that the taxed get nothing for their money, which they would have done if allowed to spend it their own way. I therefore beg the working classes not to ask to pay the taxes themselves, upon the strength of this argument. The Resolution for raising the Supply, passed without a division; though the Protectionists threaten that on black Monday they will do what they will do, on bring ing up the Report. I think their chance is over. There wants nothing but sticking to them in the House of Commons till the next General Election, —doing in short everything which has not been done hi therto,—to make it perfectly safe to trust to the decision of the country on the wretched fallacy of what they call Protection to British Industry, by which they mean robbing Bradford to give the amount to themselves, and robbing the com munity for love besides. In conclusion, I will beseech you to'remember, that the condition of this life is, that those who will not keep a thing when they have got it, shall have it taken from them. For the sake of those poor souls who are marked to perish if in spite of warning, in spite of entreaty, the citadel of Free Trade is given up by a determined, reso lute, cold-blooded opening of the doors to the enemy and forcing him to come in, I would implore of you to bestir yourselves in time if there is anything in your power to do, and not leave the cause we have toiled far, the cause we have won, the cause in which you and yours are as deeply concerned as human history can show, the cause by which all other reforms are hang ing, to be sacrificed to any man's visions of better things that are to come for any body, by throwing the whole again into the lottery of war. I am, Sir, yours very sincerely, AN OLD REFORMER. London, 7th April, 1851. GENERAL KLAPKA AND LORD LYNDHURST. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—ln Lord Lyndhurst's speech, delivered in the House of Lords on the 27th of March, there is a passage running as follows: " But this is not all. I have a case still more striking to bring under the consideration and attention of Go vernment. There is another central committee in this city—where the branches meet I know not—who style themselves the Central Committee of Hungarian Re fugees. One of the leading members of this committee is a person named Klapka, an officer who served in the insurrectionary war in Hungary, and who commanded the fortress of Comorn at the close of that war. Your Lordships are aware that a large body of Hungarians were driven from Austria into Italy, and were incorpo rated into tbo Austrian army in Lombardy. Avail ing themselves of this object, this committee have lately issued a proclamation, addressed to those Hungarians, end couched in language of a most inflammatory character, and containing topics also of a most inflammatory and exciting description, calling upon them to desert their ranks, pointing out to them how they could do this most effectually and most de structively to Austria, instructing them how to act in the event of a war, what signals would be made, and what co-operation they would receive. This proclama tion is signed by the individual to whom I have referred, General Klapka; and a more fl agran t v i o l a ti on o f the protection affored to a refugee I cannot conceive." Although I formerly disdained refuting certain mis representations made by M. von Manteuffel in one of the Prussian Chambers, who was pleased to transpose me to Schleswig-Holstein, yet I feel obliged emphati cally to contradict any untruth uttered in either of the HOIIIIPS of the British Parliament. Accordingly, I declare— 1. For more than a twelvemonth I have not been living in London, nor am I either one of the leaders, or even a member, of any of the committees mentioned by Lord Lyndhurst. 2. I never addressed a proclamation to the Hungarian soldiers in Italy calling upon them to desert their ranks. Nobody who knows my character will think me cap- able of an advice calculated, under the present circum stances, to sacrifice and deliver those unfortunates to ruin and still greater misery. I declare any procla mation of the kind, if there be any, as altogether false, or trumped up, perhaps, by the agents of the Austrian police. Lord Lyndhurst's remarks, therefore, rest upon:mere fictions, and it is only a wonder that the Noble Lord should have forgotten his mission and high situation, which ought to have preserved him from becoming a tool for the intrigues of the Austrian police. I leave to the English people to appreciate his Lordship's disavowal of their own history and principles, which some centuries ago laid the foundation of their present greatness and glory. So much for the refuta tion of unprovoked calumny l So far from being over awed by such and similar proceedings, and the despi cable snares of the Russo-Austrian police, I shall never cease doing what I hold suitable to the interest and deliverance of my oppressed and unhappy father land, as far as I can do so without violating the laws of that country where I met with an hospitable recap ion. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, GEORGE KLAP KA. Paris, April 4, 1851. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I respectfully beg your insertion of the follow ing explanation respecting an acrostic on the name of PnELPs," which appeared in The Sun, of Monday, March 31. I am, myself, solely to blame for the wrong done to Mr. E. L. Blanchard. On looking over the papers of my son, after his decease, I found the lines in question written in pencil, in my son's handwriting, and, as ho was in the habit of writing such things, concluded, too hastily, they were his composition. I, myself, covered the pencil marks with pen and ink, and added my son's name, which you will see by the original, enclosed, is in a different hand from the rest. Mr. E. L. Blanchard will, I trust, be satisfied with this public apology, and I am sure all who know me will believe I would not wilfully attempt such a misap propriation. I am, Sir, your obedient Eervant, FREDERICK WILTON, Stage-manager, Britannia Saloon. 6, Wallbrook-place, East-road, Ifoxton, April 5, 1851. [We are gratified to publish the above handsome reparation of an evidently unintentional mistake : and gladly should we recognize in all similar instances the like gentlemanly good feeling.—En. Sun.] THE FRIMLEY MURDERERS. The execution of Harwood and Jones for the murder of the Rev. J. llollest will take place at Horsemenger-late gaol, on Monday, the 21st inst. Smith, the approver, is also in Horsetnonger lane. A warrant has been received by Mr. Keene for his detention until the next assizes. In consequence of the statement of Mrs. Holiest that he was the man who fired at her husband, the Government believe that Smith has de ceived them, and he is therefore to be indicted at the next assizes for the burglary. Smith does not appear to like this new state of affairs. He says it's a shame the bill has not been acted up to, and that if he had " knowed" it he would have kept quiet, and chanced it. Calcraft will be the ex ecutioner. It will take place at eight o'clock in the morning. Dispatches were received on Saturday from the Go vernor of Gibraltar, at the Colonial-office. INCOME.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. By the royal mail steam-ship Asia, Captain Judkins, we have advices from New York direct to the 2Gth ult. She brings a large number of passengers, and 152,0001. in specie on freight. The Asia was tele graphed off Holyhead at one o'clock today, having made the quickest passage on record. The United States mail steam-ship Franklin ar rived at New York on the 22d ult., and the United States mail steamer Arctic on the 23d ult. By the steam-ships Crescent City, Ohio, and Pro metheus, we have advices from San Francisco to the 15th of February. Collectively these vessels had on freight specie to the amount of 1,325,0001. in gold dust. The British mail steamer Conway arrived at Kingston from St. Thomas's on the 14th ult, and sailed the same day for Vera Cruz. The mail steam-ship Clyde wns at Chagres on the II th ult. From the Alta California we extract a summary of events : _ . " Since the departure of the last steamer fur Panama the Indian difficulties have been on the increase rather than otherwise, and murders, robberies, and reports of hostilities, collisions, and battles, hare been rite. Ef forts have been made in the Legislature to raie,e funds and State troops for carrying on the war. One of the Governor's aids, Mr. J. Neely Johnson, has been dis patched by his Excellency to the scene of disturbances, to not on the part of the State with the United States Indian Commissioners. Authority has been given to raise a force of volunteers to be used in case of necessity. The commissioners have also left Stockton with an es cort of some hundred United States' troops, and it is confidently believed that, if no obstacles are thrown in their way by revengeful or interested men, they will be able to form treaties with the mountain tribes, and thus give quiet to the country. They are men of the right stamp, acquainted with the Indian character, and dis posed to deal justly with them, we believe. The wea ther has continued dry, and, for winter, wonderfully warm, sometimes as high as 75 degrees, and seldom as low as 50 degrees; last evening it was at 47 degrees. We have not had five inches of rain since last March. The fear now is, that wo shall have no more rain, the consequences of which will be severe disappointment to those engaged in the dry diggings, and, perhaps, fatal to the stock and agricultural interests. Our Legislature has been battling for many things, but has won few vic tories. Don Quixote conflicts with windmills, amend ing Acts by making them worse , and passing a very few which may be beneficial, logrolling' ifor the office of United States Senator, for establishing the seat of Government, for ousting each other out of their legiti mate legislative saddles, eec., have been the chief public occupations of our legislators. They have fixed upon next Monday as the day to elect a Senator to the seat of Mr. Fremont, after the 4th of March, and various are the speculations concerning the result. Some be lieve Mr. King will be elected—some Mr. Heydenfeldt, while others have growing faith in Mr. Fremont, in whose favour there has been an undoubted reaction on the part of many. This was a perfectly natural result. Whenever opposition is carried to persecution it defeats its end, and assists the wrong party. Such has been the case with Mr. Fremont. The health of the State is of the most glorious description; there are scarcely any deaths or sickness in any part of the State, so far as we have heard. There is no healthier country on earth. The excitement about the Gold Bluffs has not died out, but much subsided. It yet remains for the companies engaged there to prove whether the amount of gold can be made profitable to them. Individuals can scarcely expect to make piles by isolated labour in that place. The Klamath, Scott's River, and other localities in the extreme north of the State, seem to bear the palm in the faith of our people in their richness. It is to be hoped that it is something more than distance which lends enchantment to the view in this matter. The expeditions sent to the Colorado River are progress ing in their purposes. Lieutenant Derby has passed up the gulf and some distance up the river; and Major Heintzelman's command is also at the river. The squat ter question has subsided somewhat of late; the judicious decision of our Recorder and some other officers' opinion have contributed, in connexion with the opinions of the press, to check the great tendency to forcible entries and occupation of other people's land, which for a while seemed a mania here. Our State laws having been found inadequate to the wants of some localities, the people have been dispensing justice under the code of Judge Lynch. The Legislature has passed the Loan Bill for raising a loan not to exceed 500,000 dolls. It is not very probable that anything can be negotiated under that or any other Act, unless some measures are found to raise the present credit of the State. Business, which has been exceedingly dull, seems at last reviving. We had a conversation with a gentleman yesterday, upon whose word we can place the utmost reliance, who informed us that an immense discovery of gold has lately been made upon a hill in the vicinity of the Mokelumne river, which had never previously been wrought. A party of four struck upon the very summit, some three weeks since, and, by digging down fifteen feet, have thus extracted over 4,000 dolls. The gold, although much coarser, is similar in colour to that found in the vicinity of Nevada, black and rusty. The gentlemen who have been work ing this have bad much difficulty in washing, being obliged to convey their dirt a great distance to water . The continued discoveries which are being made upon the hill tops are opening new resources in the mineral wealth of California. The idea that the gold of Califor nia has been exhausted is ridiculous in the extreme." The Pacific News contains the following : " The Chesapeake returned from Gold Bluff on Satur day, and, from the number of passengers who returned in her, the public will get the impression that the for tune of all' which was supposed to be in that particular locality for the mere picking up, is not of as golden a nature as was anticipated. From one of the passengers of the Chesapeake we learn that the bank in the vicinity of the Bluff, and for several miles north and south of it, contains large quantities of black sand, in all of which may be found what is termed scale gold,' but in particles so fine as to prevent its being separated from the sand by the ordinary process of washing, and that mining can only be made profitable by the labour of well-organized companies, aided by such machinery or apparatus as will enable them to assay, or precipitate by acids. Our in formant also extended his examination to the Bluff, but his impressions were anything but satisfactory. He ex presses the opinion, however, that the same obstacle to success presents itself there as in the case of the sand found upon the beach, and that the whole undertaking will ere long be abandoned, because of the expense and labour attending the separation of the gold from the foreign substances with which it is found to be so thoroughly mixed." Relative to the quicksilver mines in California, the Placer Times says : " It is very generally known that quicksilver mines have been worked to some extent for many years in Ca lifornia, but until the discovery of gold little attention has been bestowed upon them. For some months past quicksilver has been offered in our market, known as coming from the New Almaden mines. The principal mines in California are the Guadalupe and New Alma den, and aro situated in the same neighbourhood, some four miles distant from each other. Those mines are about eight miles from San Jose, and can be reached by a good road at all seasons of the year. We are told that the mines are now worked extensively, the produce amounting to several millions of dollars in the present season, and that the yield from the ore is almost past belief; 85 per cent. of pure mercury is not an uncom mon yield." It was reported at San Francisco that a difficulty had arisen between the commander of the French gate Serieuse and the Government of the Sandwich Islands. The commander demanded the payment of 25, 1 )00 dolls. as a commutation for customs alleged to have been collected contrary to treaty obligations. The King refused to accede to this claim, and threw himself on the protection of Great Britain and the United States. Upon this the French commander landed his men at Honolulu, and prevented several Hawaiian vessels from proceeding to sea. n umber A shocking murder has been committed on the Chagres river. The victims were elev en in nu —eight men, two women, and one child. Two men, na med Fidele Pepin, a native of France, and Leonore Landry, goldbeater, of Paris, were among the number. Our advices from Mexico extend to the 22d of Feb ruary. The administration of Arista did not appear to give satisfaction. Senor Facio, the Minister to England, was to retain his appointment ; a charter had been issued for the construction of a railroad of the waggons of reports that the ,Mexican fromtfreighthe Vera lineC r Cruz z b to ad Bi b e e e d n i I 1 in ; attackedone near the city of ty of goods carri e d off. e v q e u lta anti The Mexico, New andoarielaarfn Senate, in secret session, declared Jose de Garay's grant of the right of way across the Isthmus of Te huantepec null and void, he having forfeited the same twice. From San Juan de Nicaragua we have intelligence to the 14th ult. The • steamer Director was running regularly on the lake. The news of the battle be tween the armies of the Republics of San Salvador and Guatemala is fully confirmed ; the former lost 528 men, 200 prisoners, and a large number of guns. The King of Mosquito was staying on board her Ma jesty's schooner Bermuda. The English Consul, Mr. Chatfield, had published a letter claiming, under the Mosquito King, the territory close up to Truxillo. The British fleet had sailed towards Guatemala. We have accounts from Kingston, Jamaica, to the 14th ult., being a fortnight later than our previous advices. The cholera was fast disappearing from the island. The north side papers had not recorded a single case as occurring in that part of the country, although the disease had appeared in the mountains of Westmoreland. Sugar, 20s. per 100 lb.

There is very little doing in freights, and the rates are hardly so firm. Engagement for corn at 4 to 4d.; heavy goods at 17s. 6d to 205. To California there is more offering, and the rates are nominal. The dry goods trade is still under a Octl. Buyers do not come forward numerously, and the few that do, buy sparingly, while the aution sales, which have been large during the week, have supplied the best part of the de mand. The country trade later than usual, and stooks, which are only moderate in reference to the usual de mand (and which we believe to be only retarded), are yet felt heavy while that demand is suspended. Prices consequently have no firmness, and both cotton and woollen goods tend strongly to a decline. The market thus favours the buyers, to continue which is an induce ment to buyers to delay as much as they can, for their own interests, the bulk of their purchases. Ashes—The market is very quiet; small sales of pots at 5 dolls. 25c. and 5 dolls. 75c. pearls. Colton—ls less firm, and a decline of lc. has been submitted to, at which 1,000 bales have been sold.

Canadian is heavy. sialirs of too hl3& good brands at 4 62i; it is offered more freely to arrive.

White is scarce and wanted at 65kc. to 66 ice Barley is quiet at 1 doll. 12ic. to 1 doll. 25c.

The intelligence has been known to the ho me authorities for some time. The Investigator.

Six,—ln the City article in the Times of the 18 th ult. they name this railway, in conjunction Wit h the Caledonian, as having risen from 70 to 80 p er cent. without any apparent cause to justify it. They do not say a word that our shared are still at 4)0 per cent. discount; nor can I see any Just compari son of the two lines. The Caledonian is weighed down by guarantees; we have given none, bu t j ust re ceived one. We have hitherto had to depend upon residential traffic, without any outlet from our line. The Great Northern has afforded us one to the south and west; it has emancipated us from the Eastern Counties, and further more will enable us to receive the great d roves of catt l e from their Algarkirk station to the pastures of Nor folk, &c., which have n ow to be driven from twenty to thirty miles.

This morning (Saturday) being market day brought together' an unusual concourse of our townsfolk, it being understood that the suffrages of the electors were to be solicited by three candidates all on the spot—Mr. Bethell, Q.C., Mr. Ferrand, and Mr. Houghton, the same who had contested the borough on extreme opinions in op position to Mr. Calvert. The extravagance of Mr. Fer rand's views, and the violence with which he enforces them, are well known, and as Mr. Bethell has come forward on moderate principles, the Liberal party have prevailed on Mr. Houghton to retire from the field rather than run the risk of suffering Mr. Ferrand to slip in through any division of forces in the opposite camp. On the Papal question, Mr. Bethell, in his address, declares himself utterly " opposed to the establishment of a Popish hierarchy." " Believing it ne cessary to maintain the measures which have lately afforded the largest field to commercial and manufacturing enter prise, he is still keenly alive to the necessity of adopting every step to relieve the agricultural community from every undue burden." He adds, that "he presents himself unfettered by any pledges, and stands before them an independent candidate for their suffrages." The contest promises to be a severe one ; though, as far as an opportunity has yet offered of canvassing the town, Mr. Bethell's reception has been most flattering, influential persons of all parties appeal ing anxious to sink their differences in order to secure the services of so distinguished a candidate. It is thought that even the more ardent supporters of Lord Stanley's policy, cautioned by their Noble Leader at the recent banquet , that " true prudence and true statesmanship point not at the hasty reversal of all that is done," will be reluctant to em barrass their cause by entrusting it to the keeping of Mr. Ferrand. _ . - ------.

He trusted the congregation would not blame him for the changes which had been made. It was not by his own au thority the alterations had been effected ; all the alterations had been made on the suggestion or at the request of the Bishop of London, who had expressed himself willing to take all the responsibility.
