San Francisco was rapidly recovering from the effects of the last conflagration. New and elegant buildings were being erected in every directicn, and the style and construction were in all respects better. More activity existed in the markets, and better prices ruled fur all the leading articles of trade. From the mines we have no very remarkable advice?. . From some reports it would appear that the rivers remained high, and consequently that mining indus try was obstructed. Many of the miners, it is stated, partly frotn this cause and partly from the frequency of murd ers , were return in' to the coast, frequently destitute, and in matiy instances with barely suf ficient cash to pay their expenses. 100 AL , xieans, who had been obliged to leave, were land, dat Aca pulco, by the Panama. Vast numbers were fl,ekiug in ovtr the Rocky l‘lonnt,ins from OA Uuittd States. The Sacrament() Transcript says.— " A great variety of estimates h4ve been made of the probable number on the way to this country. All accounts agree that the rush this season is unprf ee dented. Fifty thousrnd is the most moderate com putation, and some of the first papers in the Stabs think 100,000 people have started on the long j,,ur ney across the plains. Occasionally we hear accounts from advance parties, which are truly surprising-. A Mr. Collins, late a member of the Illinois Legislature, has recently arrived in this country. He left home on the Bth of May, and has had a remarkably quick trip. He states that before he reached Fort Laramie he passed 8,000 teams, and after leaving that point, although he could not keep count, he thinks he pasted twice that number of teams."

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequence., unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice fur many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases. rublished by she Author, and may be had of Kent and Richards. ss.

On Thursday the magistrates of the county of Middlesex assembled at the Sessions House, Clerken well (by adjournment from the sth instant, when a court could not be formed, in consequence of the non attendance of magistrates), for the purpose of trans acting general county business. There were nearly , thirty magistrates present. Mr. Pownall, the chair man of the bench, presided. Mr. ALLEN, the county treasurer, offieiAted for the deputy clerk of the peace, and read the minutes of the pi eceding court. In conformity with a rule of the court, requiring its attention to be called to any new Act of Parliament, affecting the interests of the county, or relating to justices in Petty or General Quarter Sessions, Mr. Allen laid before the court the recently passed Act to extend summary jurizdiction in cases of simple larceny. CLAMP/CATION OF PRISONERS. Mr. WILKs called the attention of the bench to the report of the Select Committee on Prison Discipline, and upon his motion copies of the report, excluding the evidence, were ordered to be printed and circu lated amongst the magistrates. Some discussion then took place as to the mode in which the recent order of the court for the classifi cation of prisoners in the county prisons should be carried into effect. Ultimately it was ordered " that all prisoners who, in consequence of the order made by the court on the 18th ddy of July for the classifi cation of prisoners in the prisons of this county, cannot lawfully be detained in those prisons from and after the 29th day of September inst., be, on the 30th day of September inst. removed by the governors of the respective prisons in which they shall then be in confinement to the prisons applicable to their recep tion, and that a list of all such prisoners'be signed both by the governor sending and the governor re ceiving them." And,that a letter be forwarded to all the police magistrates of the county, requesting them to specify in each commitment the age of the p e r son committed. maleto the H ouse of prisoners as are un d er 17 The classification is to be as follows :—All female years prisoners of a g n e d a such re to b e sent Correc tion, at Westminster, and all male prisoners above 17 years of age are to be sent to Coldbath-fields House of Correction. This does not include such as may be committed for want of sureties, for safe custody , merely, for re-examination, or for trial at the ses sions. The House of Detention at Clerkenwell is to be appropriated for the reception of prisoners of those classes. COUNTY DISBURSEMENTS. The report of the Committee of Accounts was then brought up. It recommended the following pay ments to the coroners :—Mr. Wakley, for 130 inquests holden by him from June 24 to August 17, 4181. h. Bd. ; Mr. Baker, 119 inquests from June 28 to August 17, 3621. 10 , =. 7d. ; and Mr. Bedford, 38 inquests from June 1 to July 31, 1041. ls. 4,1. Total, inqueat9, 287 ; payments, 8841. 133. 7d. The com mittee reported that they had framed regulations upon which (when approved by the Secretary of State) they would submit the contract for the removal of Iri.h and Scotch paupers to public com t , eticion. The re port wax received and adopted. The court then executed a mortgage on the county rate for 35,000/. for the purposes of the lunatic asylum at Colney Hatch. THE PRISONS. Mr. ALLEN laid before the Court the rep rts of the visiting justices of the county prisons. In the Cold bath-fields establishments there were 911 male and 289 female prisoners, and 19 children. The com mittee reported that, by the 29th instant, ample arrangements could be made to carry into effect the classification. In the Westminster prison there were 774 prisoners (564 males and 210 females). The com mittee reported that when the new arrangements come into operation the services of twenty-one male officers will be dispensed with, and that ten additional female officers will be required in this prison ; And THE OFFICE OF CORONER. Mr. ARMSTRONG had a motion upon the paper with reference to the substitution of a fixed salary in lieu of fees, for the office of coroner, and the appointment of a salaried medical officer to the coroner's court, but he asked permission to postpone it until the next court day. • Some routine matters were disposed of, and the court resumed the criminal business. CITY COURT OF SEWERS. Yesterday a very numerous meeting of the gentle men connected with the above-named Court was held at their office in the Guildhall. Mr. Deputy Pollock presided. There were present upon the occasion a large num ber of commissioners, and the question before the Court, the " gas movement in the City," appeared to excite attention, inasmuch as a large body of the citizens were present to watch the proceedings. The minutt•s of the former Court having been read by Mr. Tickner, the assistant clerk, the same were allowed to have been correctly entered. Before the matter with reference to the gas ques tion was introduced, Mr. MORRIS said, he requested the Chairman to say, as oue of the representatives of the city of Lon don in the Metropolitan Court of Sewers, whether he (the Chairman) knew anything about the way in which it was proposed to drain the city ? Could he (the Chairman) inform the Court what plan was to be pursued ? (Mr. Morris) had seen a plan pro pounded by a gentleman of the name of Beardmore, a civil engineer, upon the subject, which appeared to be of much importance. The CHAIRMAN said that at the present time he had no answer to give to the question. Mr. MORRIS replied that he should introduce the subject, in consequence, at some future day. THE GAS QUESTION. Mr. Daly, the chief clerk to the Commissioners, then read a communication from Mr. Meggison, of 16, Cannon-s'reet, City, complaining of the injury he had received in consequonce of the breakage of the pavement in that locality, and the general disturbance of the street by the Great Central Gas Consumers Company. . . _ . . Before the whole of the communication had been read, _ _ Air. BLAKE said that he considered it was not right to permit such communications to be read in that court. The object of the parties who sent them was simply publicity.—(Hear.) Mr. L. IL TAYLOR and Mr. T. HALL spoke upon the question ; but the decision of the Court being in favour of the letter being read, the same was done accordingly. Mr. ELLIOTT, as one of the members for the ward of Candlewick, in which the property is situated to which the injury alleged was done, stated that it was the fact that the whole of the pavement in that loca- lity had been for many days in a most sadly neglected state. A long and noisy discussion followed, during which it was contended that such a letter ought not to have been entertained by the Commission. Mr. H. L. TayLon at length proposed that the let ter should be entered upon the ►uinutes, which propo sition was seconded by Deputy EAGLETON. Mr. BLAKE moved as an amendment that the com munication be ordered to lie on the table.—(llear.) In doing so he wished to be perfectly understood. IVith regard to this gas question, he found that there was not less than 10,000 of his fellow-citizens who had signed petitions in favour of cheap gas, and that, not withstanding all their attempts to obtain a reduction of the price from the hands of the old companies they had failed.—(llear, hear.) He would scorn any thing like an advocacy of that principle which he knew to he wrong, but he felt that that Court, under the existing circumstances, were bound to act moot decidedly, while the public expected them to act faithfully and honestly.—(Hear, bear.) If they did not do so the public would suffer ; the old companies, who had been solicited to reduce their prices, had ob tained both property and profit; but in the face of all this they had said, when they were first appealed to, that any reduction was impossible, and that the requirements of the people as consumers could not be met.—(Hear, hear.) At this crisis men came for ward who had even perilled their own good names, sad irrespective of future prospects they had given the public to understand that gas might, and should be furnished at a much cheaper rate than before. These men had justified the high character they previously held ; they had entered into the speculation, and now defied anything like factious opposition.— (Hear, hear.) It had been said that the inhabitants had suffered much inconvenience from the breakage of the street , . This he readily admitted, as every body else would, he was sure ; but the public had borne this apparent evil with the most exemplary patience, as it was clear they had looked at the many advantages which were likely to result faom an ob ject of such considerable magnitude, and having in view such large benefits to all classes of citizens.— (llear, hear.) He regarded the letter they had as Commissioners of Sewers received that day as being a most deliberate and flagrant insult upon the whole body of the Commissioners—(Hear) —and he there fore felt glad of the opportunity which then presented itself of proposing his motion.—(Hear.) Deputy PEWTRESS seconded the proposition. Several Commissioners expressed their sorrow at the inconvenience which the public had been sub jected to, after which the motion of Mr. Taylor was rejected by a majority of 19 to 5. The CUAIRMAN then stated that a deputation from the Chartered Company was present, who were desi rous of explaining to the Court some of the circum stances relating to the report read on Tuesday last at the Court of Sewers. In this communication it was urged by parties connected with the Chartered Com pany that much injury had been done to their property by the Great Central, and that they had, therefore, taken legal steps accordingly.—(Hear, hear.) Per haps they would hear the Chartered Company's repre sentatives.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Horrin, one of the directors connected with the company, then stated, in extenso, the peculiar injuries inflicted upon the Chartered Company by the manner in which the men in the employ of the Great Central Gas Consumers Company had laid their pipes ; and in answer to several questions put to him, he stated that he believed much injury had occurred to the Chartered Company, inasmuch as in 84 instances their pipes had been disturbed or other wise injured.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Hopper stated, also, that in many parts of the city the Great Cen tral Company had not laid down their pipes, although they had said they had done so ; for it was the fact, that 174 places within the area of the city were at present unprovided with the Great Central Company's pipes.—(Hear, hear.) Then they had to complain that, and they felt it, that the new company, notwith standing all their entreaties, had laid down their pipes over those of the chartered company, so that it was impossible for them, in fact, even to repair any inju ries. In consequence, therefore, of this, they had sought the protection of the Court of Chancery, and hence it was that the application for the injunction had been made. Mr. It TAYLOR—Have you got your injunction? Mr. Lionel:a—No, Sir, the matter etands over till Tuesday next fur further inquiry. After a lung conversation as to the merits of the case, in the course of which several members ex pressed their opinion that the matter had nothing to do with the Commissioners of Sewers, it was even tually decided to dismiss the question by proceeding to the " order of the day." The reports of the inspectors were then read, and a motion by Mr. H. BLAKE, on the necessity for giving notice to Parliament for increased powers to the Com missioners under the renewed Act of Pairliament was referred for the future consideration of the Commis sioners, when tho Court adjourned. iummary of the following appeared in our paper of yesterday.] ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY. The United States' mail steam-ship Atlantic, Cap tain West, arrived in the Mersey about nine o'clock this morning, with mails from New York, to the 7th inst., 70 passengers, and 5,675/. in gold on freight. Her run, which has occupied about 12f days, was prolonged by heavy weather. The Royal mail steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Lang, arrived out at Boston at 6iX. A.M. on the 6th insr. The United States' mail steam-ship Washington, Captain Floyd, arrived out at New York from South ampton at four o'clock P.M. on the 4th inst.; and on the same day the screw steam-ship Helena Sloman, Captain Paulsen, which left Hamburgh en the Iltti ult. On the 18th ult. the llelena met with a hurri cane from the S.W. to N.W., which carried away her bowsprit and all the sails attached to it. The Clyde screw steam-ship City of Glasgow, Captain Mathews, left New York on the 7th inst. for Glasgow. The American steam ship Panama arrived at Pa nama on the 21st ult., with mails from San Fran cisco of the Ist of August, 460,0001. of gold dust on freight, and 240 passengers. On her passage the cholera broke out, and 50 deaths occurred. The British steam-ship Ecuador, from Panama, for San Francisco, was spoken by the Panama off Acapulco. The American steam-ship Empire City, Captain West, arrived at New York on the sth inst., with Chugres mails of the 26th ult., and Kingston, Ja maica, of the 30th ult. She bad on freight about 100,0001. of gold dust. On the same day the Ame rican steam-ship Chetokee, Captain Windle, arrived from Cfaagres, having touched at Hsvannah on the Ist inst. en route. She brought specie to the value of about 322,0001. sterling. Her Majesty's brig-of-war Swift was at Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, on the 21st of June, but we have DO tidings of the Arctic ships. Our accounts from the United States now received are not unimportant, containing as they do the pass ing of the Texan Boundary and New Mexican Ter ritorial Bills by the House of Representatives on the 6th instant, after a severe struggle. General exclamations of pleasure welcomed the intelligence of this satisfactory solution of the dangers threatened by these questions, and hopes were entertained that Congress would shortly separate. Meanwhile the Cabinet appear to progress quietly and to the satis faction of the citizens ; and the President seems to obtain a degree of support worthy of remark when the manner of his election is borne in mind. All overtures for the acceptance of office had been rejected by Mr. M`Kennan. Vermont State election was pending, but it was expected that the victory would be to the Whig party. Domestic and miscellaneous affairs present, beyond these details, no novel points. Pennsylvania had been severely devastated by floods. From the New York journals it appears that severe weather had been experienced in the southern sections. "On the 2dth ult.," says the Courier and Enquirer— " South Carolina seems to have been swept by a violent storm of rain and wind. In the neighbour hood of Chester it seems to have amounted to a hurri• cane, and was very destructive. A letter from Ches ter says— "'The chief loss occasioned by the store is in the injury done to the growing crops. This extends to every portion of the district from which we have as yet heard. On some plantations the corn and cotton lie prostrate, as though borne to the earth by some heavy weight; whilst else where the stalks of corn stand erect, but literally stripped of every ear and blade. We would fain hope that the injury is not so great as has been represented to us ; but we may fear that the half is not yet told.' " Similar accounts from North Carolina and Ala bama. A letter from Enfaula (Alabama) says— " Its effects upon the growing crop, so fsr as we have heard of its ravages, have been most disastrous —particularly to the cotton, prostrating the weed, destroying all the ripe bolls, and beating and blowirg off a large portion of the fruit whi c h h a d no t ma- tured. — lVe doubt not but the cotton crop over which it passed bas been injured at least sixteen per cent.' " From Canada we are also without any news of interest. Our Jamaica accounts, which are some days later than those by the West Ladle mails, are unim;ortant. Savcral articles on the culture of cot ton appeared in the journals of Kingston,, and on the 27th ult. a large meeting was held in th e di rec t ors ' , room of the :1 - 3atik of Jamaica, to establish a small company, with a limited number of shares, to test the practic.tuility of r,: , 11 lering the cotton plant a staple production of the island. Resolutions in accordance with this view were passed, and every symptom of vigour manifested. Our Havannah advices of the Ist instant, published in the New York Express, are as follow : " Since our report, of the 17th instant, there has been a good inquiry fur sugar, and prices have be come still more stiff, as planters in general are un willing to part with the small stock they yet hold unless at higher rates. They feel encouraged in their pretensions by the more favourable news from Europe, and the greater facilities for shipping to the United States, in consequence of there being more ships available fur that purpose. In the transactions that have occurred, the lower classes of sugar have been most sought after and are proportionately high. We quote as follow :—Whites, 9 to 10 rials ; fine and choice whites, 10i to 11 rials; yellows, 6i to 7i rials ; superior yellows, it to 8 rials ; browns, .5/ to 6 rials ; cucuruchos, .51 to q- rials. A parcel of cucuruchos of very fine quality was taken at 6 rials. " There are no Muscovadoes remaining either here or in any other ports of the island. " The last sales of molasses were at 2 rials ; there is not much left, and the dealers are asking higher prices. "The prices of coffee are nominal. " We had a strong gale 04 the night of the 21st, almost approaching a hurricane. The damage among the shipping was inconsiderable, but a great deal of injury was sustained in the country by the destruc tion of corn-fields and plaintain trees, which are im portant in connexion with the food of labourers on the estates. The coffee plants have also suffered to a considerable extent, and, what is still more serious, the sugar cane ha theca injured. SJ far as the accounts received allow an opinion to be formed, the effects of the storm on the growing crop may be severe, unless a propitious state of the atmosphere during the ensuing months should enable the cane to recover from the in jury sustained. The gale extended to the south side as far as St. Jago de Cuba. " There are but few cases of cholera in the city, but it. still continues in the country, proceeding slowly from district to district, and carrying off many victims. It has recently re-appeared in several places where it was hoped the visitation had ceased. " Freights—The last transaction was at 25 for a Spanish vessel to Antwerp ; 20 and 30 were paid for partial shipments to the North Sea. "Exchange on London 12} to 131 per cent. pre mium. Large amounts were sold on the United States at 1 per cent. discount, but higher rates are now asked." Advices from San Juan de Nicaragua supply, from the columns of the Gaceta del Salvador, a letter from Viscount Palmerston, dated Feb. 17, addressed to the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Nicaragua, containing the fAlowing passage : " I have to say, in reply, that the Government of her Britannic Majesty is desirous of cultivating the most,friendly relations with the State of Nicaragua ; but that her Majesty's Government is incapable of doing anything which shall be interpreted as ad mitting a doubt that Greytown belongs exclusively to the Mosquito territory. " I have the honour to be, &c., " PALMERSTON." Under date of the 14th of May, the Nicaragua Mi ni4ter addresses Lord Palmerston as follows : " At the moment when this Government has accre dited near her Britannic Majesty a Charge d'Affaires, with the view of vindicating its rights to the Port of San Juan and the Mosquito Coast, now illegally re tained by British agents, it is informed that Mr. John Foster, Engli.h Vice-Consul for the Port of Realejo di Nicaragua, has arranged with the Prussian Baron Bulow, under powers flora your office, fur the estab lishment of a colony of Germans in the port of San Juan. My Governinent cannot permit its rights of property and sivereiguty in that territory and port to be put in question, and it is obliged to hold, and will always hold, as unjust an invasion in all lights, what ever act shall tend to its dismemberment and unjust possession. And it has ordered me to say to you, to be laid before the Government of Great Britain, that it protests before the whole world, and in the most solemn manner, against the meditated colonization, or whatever other act of usurpation, as a violation of inter- national rights—a violence which its duties forbid it from assenting to; nor will it hold itself responsible for the evils which may result to the proposed colonies in consequence of their unauthorised intrusion in the " The news from the mines is exceedingly good ; the yields of gold are daily increasing as the waters recede. Extensive dams and trenches have been made in several parts for the purpose of turning the streams. An anticipation shared in by most of the miners is, that when the waters subside there will be found an abundance.of dust. ("A company of seven men have taken out, in one spot, in Murphy's Diggings, in less than seven wee k s , 15,600 dolls. in go ld dust. This is their net proceeds, clear of expenies. " Another company of six took out, in the same dig gings last week, 421 b. of dust. This company is working 54 feet beneath the surface. " The great points of concentration are the Mer cedes, Tuolumne, and Stanislaus. Encouraging ac counts have reached us from the Calaveras. There is no lack of provisions, and the health of the whole dis trict is excellent. "In one portion of the mines a party of Mexican; working under Americans, have perched themselves on a piece of tableland, existing on the top of a mountain, and here, secreted from the eyes of the tax-collector, they are making a pile. " The Sacramentonians boast now and then of a 101 b. or a 201 b. lump. At Murphy's a miner has in his possession a lump weighing 931 b., of which it has been ascertained at least one-half is pure gold. 2,400 holes' are registered at Murphy's as pre-emption claims. Tbose not present at the Ist of August to answer in the matter of pre,-emptions, forfeit their claims. " A lucky hombre, on the head waters of the Mer cedes, has extracted a lump weighing 83 pounds, nearly all pure gold. " At San Antonio, which was deserted last winter, five men have been taking out on an average, seven ounces each for the pact eleven days. " The report is favourable from all the mining regions south, and the yield is undoubtedly greater than at any previous season. If the troubles which agitate our district, says the Stockton Journal, were only at an end, which we feel assured they soon will be, the San Joaquin district would rapidly distance any other section of the state." In reference to the disorders of the miner, the Alta California of the Ist August says— " The miners are up in arms, irritated beyond en durance, and the re is a universal sentiment of hatred against foreigners. At the Mormon Gulch, resolu tions have been passed to drive all Mexicans from the mines; they have received notice to quit in 15 days, or they will be expelled by force. " The citizens of Stockton recently held a meting at the Owen-house, in this city, and in view of the alarming state of affairs in the San Joaquin district, consequent upon the recent cruel murders perpe trated by bands of lawless robbers who infest the routes to the mines of that region,' adopted measures to restore tranquillity and bring the guilty to justice. Th-y determined to raise a corps of volunteer mounted rangers, and opened a subscription to or ganize and equip them. They opened a roll at once, and a number of citizens subscribed their names. " A serious collision has broken out between tl:e Americans on the one hand and the foreigners in Sono:a on the other, which had been attended already with fearful and melancholy r sults. The California Courier introduces the account we give below in the following strain : " Murder, anarchy, and robbery in the mines, have reached a crisis. The miners, goaded to the midriff, dia ar.d by hands of assassins, robbers, and outla3s, have combintd, and determined on an unconditional and immediate expulsion of all persons except persons engaged in permanent business and of respectable character.' All mining operations have ceased, and the people, as one man, have united to rid the country of these evil-doers. The policy is a proper one. We are gratified that the miners have adopted our suggestion, —to stop all labour until these assassins and robbers are driven out and extirpated. The other mining districts ought to issue the same decree, and carry it out. The whole country will be overrun by Mexican guerillas, outlaws, pirates, and the villains and desperadoes of every land, unless prompt measures are adopted to expel them, at all hazards, from the country. To this decision we must c:,me at last. The outlaws and criminals of every hue and colour, and from every clime, are coming to California, and are attempting to entrench themselves. Pv-sis'ance to such villains is obedience to God." From Astoria, Oregon, we have ad vices to the 21st of July by the Pacific mail-steamer Carolina at San Fr.tncisco. But little gold had been found on the Yakama and Sp..llm, and the adven urers bad re turned. All the streams were, however, at that time very high. Honolulu dates to tie 24 . h of June bad been also received at San Franci4eo. The Alta California says Private letters represent a prosperous state of affairs throughout the kingdom. At Honolulu husiness was more brisk. Over 40 vessels of various dimensions were lying in the harbour, and arrivals from the dif ferent ports in the Pacific were becoming more fre quent than at any period known in the islands since the golden era dawned. The number ef foreign resi dents in the islands has been considerably augmented this year by the settlement on those beautiful and fer tile shores of scores of immigrants from the British colonies in Australia and New Zealand. The season has also witnessed the return from California of many familiar faces to the islands, enriched by their labours at the ' digging.,' and disposed to share the products with the land of their adoption. A very important class of the Sandwich Island plpulation is the last ac celerating immigration of Chinese. Their society is destined to exert, at no distant day, a powerful influ ence on the fortunes of the kingdom. " Government has devised many important public improvements, and has set aside about 180,000 dolls. for the immediate prosecution of its plans. A new Parliament house, Court-house, and other public structures, to be built of coral stone, are to be com menced immediately., The building of four wharfs is contemplated, which improvements certainly indi cate the spirit of progress at work. A correspondent informs us that in one week 100 house-frames were received from San Francisco, and sold at an average of 110 dolls. each. The Elizabeth Archer and the Giraffe, hence, arrived on the 24th ult., both with house frames for the island's use. The time is within our recollection when houses were manufactured at Honolulu for shipment to the gold coast. " The farmers, owners of plantations, and others interested in the culture of Hawaiian soil, have called agricultural meetings at the several islands, to con sider various subjects connected with the prosperity of their interests." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YOBE, SEPT. 7.—The past week has been ono of increased activity in the state of menetary affairs, which caused an upward movement in the rates for com mercial paper. Without anything like pressure there bas been an increased demand for money, which from present appearances is likely to continue for some tune to come. The largo accuibultvion in the Sub-Treasury, connected with the r sport of coin, has imparted an un easy feeling to the bankirg circles, already considerately excited by the recent fii!ures in the pro iucc trade. The payment of 1,071,000 dolls, from the Sub•Trea-ury to day for mint certificates, and a further arrival of gold from California, restore.; confidence to a good degree, and tends to allay a❑ haiication for higl,er rat , s.
