they an sanction only efforts within the bounds of
law to that end, and exhort to obedience to the
powers that be. They protest against the separation
of thatch and state. They denounce German
eithoektsio, and, &sanding to particulars, they de-
clare that the church claims the entire freedom of
education and instruction as the only means by which
it can fulfil its holy missions and it considers any
restrictive regulations on that head as incom-
patible with the claims of the German nation.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.
The latest accounts from California confirm the
latellirenee of the gold fever. Specimens, in large
lamps, hue been brought out ; and that the tenth of
the stories we have heard is believed by our most
iatellignat merchants, is evident from the fact that large
seresonments at goods adapted to the Californian market
an being made from this eaty. A brisk trade in that M-
inden is already springing up, sad oar sanguine specs
Mors anticipate transactions with China on account of the
Coldernians. A large foam has been sent out by our go-
vernment to maintain our authority in our new territories,
and has been dignified with the title of the Pat Mc Division.
This phrase reminds as of the &wish once made about
the " Army of Egypt." The opening to Am, rise enter-
prise ho Cali/anis sad New Mexico is conaidend very
wearable, and the impression is general that it will be
taken advantage of. With regard to this general disposition
ot the Americana "to push tomer!, and keep moving,"
I may say it is one of the strong volute which attract the
attention of intelligent Englishmen when they reach this
country.
I lave • commercial friend recently from Liverpool, who
has bees spending a few weeks in this city, and whale con-
anises here enabled him to see every th to advantage.
I have been able to gather from his expes of surprise
what may be considered as HMSO Of One rielitilrities. Is
the first place be was connected in business with one of the
Ant boons in this city, who bad only known him through
their mutual t• solutions, but whose regard for him dic-
tated the obrervance of all the ceremonies due to a high
consideration. His fint surprise was at the spectacle he
witnessed in a fael-ionable restaurant, where he was dined
by one of the bachelors of the house. He observed that
be bad seen nothing like it in London or Liverpool. The
style of cookery v.'s novel, as it was rather after the
French fashion. With some of the dishes he was entirely
unacquainted, but with the champagne he was particularly
pleased. la the lugs end bait me value, hung with
niffoll, Stied with neat tables, and well-dressed people
around them, he realised the idea of general comfort, ade-
quate mesas, and much liberality of expenditure among
ear mercantile classes. The numerous bottles of claret,
which is a great favourite in this country, cud the con-
stant popping of champagne darks, were pretty clear mi•
denim that the people here knew how to enjoy themselm.
On visiting the new theatres he was surprised at the cen-
Tankage and elegance of their interiors. The commodious
sofas, with velvet coven, and the stylish appearance of the
audiesoes, equally attracted his admiration. So, too, the
various shops in Broadway astoaisked him by their splen-
dour. Clue in particular, of which a Mr. Stewart is pro.
prietor, 'truce him by its External elegance, its vastness, and
the immein variety of its stock. Indeed, ell our principal
retail dry-goods shops, and those of the jewellers, hatters,
and chinaware-men, are decorated in a very striking man-
ner. Coen entering our prink houses, he found those of
the lint clue superbly furnished, and even those belonging
to persons of moderate incomes neatly end often elegantly
arranged. An air of comfort pervades them, and there is
no appearance of that pinching economy which is usually
found in similar establishments Lathe old countries. lie was
also struck with the general air of frankness and friendliness
prevailing among business acquaintances. There seemed to
him to be a general desire of accommodation, a disposition
to oblige, to which he was unaccustomed ; he always met
with a cordial reception whim he waited upon mercantile
men; there was no hauterr, no pride of place. no " up-
stithiness," to remind him of their importance. He sow no
people covered with rags. Eve, the be and they
are almost eselusinly foreignen—man to appear de-
cooly in the streets. In regard to pecuniary birdie, he found
kis coneepondenta prompt and liberal. A degree of gene-
rosity was perceptible in all their adjustments, and they
took especial pies to promote his interests wh they
could do so. "In short, said he, " everybody seems pros-
perous and happy ;" and but for his engagements at home,
le would without doubt at once come to the United State
and become a citizen. The person who cams to these con-
clusions could never expect in his own country to attain
anything like the standing he might reasonably expect in
the. If such opinions au forced upon the minds of thou
who come among us, it is no wonder that the tide of emigre-
lien h to strong.
We notice that the queen, whim, character is WO ly
mkomed in this country, has resolved to make the London
winter more sessouble. This is but carrying out the Ame-
rican hahion. and we have often wondered how the con-
natkiaal disarrangement of times and enema could have
existed so long timing such sensible people as the Hagfish.
While speaking of the queen, I must not forget what n-
amed to my loyal friend from Liverpool, who inquired of
a uncap of Americans at the haul where he resides in what
manner the queen would be received if she should visit the
taited States. The answer was general, —ce With the
highest honours." And no doubt, if such a thing were pos-
sible as a visit from her majesty, she would be welcomed with
One, peoctisims, and hurcas to her heart's content. So
Mash be the Yankees.
I have alnady noticed the strong musical tendencies of my
couttrymen. It is really surprilliOB to witness the audiences
that sightly assemble in the various public places of our
sly to listen "to the concord of sweet sounds." We have
mother arrival of musicians from Germeny ' who call them-
selves the Snook Band. This is the third band of German
momidens we have recently received among us. Their
soneerh are usually given in a kegs Presbyterian church, in
Medway, known as the Tabernacle, and belonging to
the wealthy proprietors of the Journal of Commerce. This
property, which is a church on Sunday and a concert-room
the rest of the week, is very productive. It is the pleas
always selected fur instrumental performances on a grand
stile, sad will hold 3,000 people. Then bands are always
One of having a great number of pathos present at their

the principal cities of the anion, and generally amass a con-
tinged, sum " foe the bone fit of whom it may concern."
Great numbers of nominal instruments are now imported
