has imparted • new life and vigour to the transactions
of this great emporia's. State Stocks have sprung up
from 78 to 90; City Bonds are sought after. The
land jobber is bringing into the market once more the
lots that had been withdrawn for want of bidders.
Freemasons, Oldfellows, and all those innumerable
orders that spring up in Yankee-land, " thick as
autumnal leaves," are thrbithing up their old uni-
forms, and preparing for the great Nth which is to
take place on the 29.1 i inst., on the occasion of the
settlement of the vexed question that had s long and
sei materially tended to paralyse the energies of this
meet curious country.
This being the season when the rains compel the
miners to quit the placers, gold is very. abundant,
sad, as a natural consequence, goods an to demand.
All articles of wearing apparel, particularly of the
warmer and coarser kind, find ready sales, at profits
of 100 to 150 per cent. on the prices of Europe.
Wines, brandies, all are also much sought after, the
supply, although gigantic, beieg scarcely equal to the
demand. Flour, for her supplies of which Calibrate
is indebted to Chili, has started up suddenly from 18
to 25 dollars &beg.. This extraordinary rise is oerbs,
to the circumstance of a company, oompoeed priest-
pally of English speculators, having monopolised the
whole supplies of Chili in flour, and commanding
thereby the market Tee inhabitants of Boa Frea"

John Bull having been

measures well, has been, for once, somewhat toe'
knowing for " neighbour Jonathan."
Considerable supplies of floor were formerly drawn
from Oregon, where the agents of the Hudson's Bay
Company had erected mills on the beautiful
math river, but sines the gold fever began to prevail,
the Amerioan emigrants of that region have aban-
doned altogether their former agricultural pursuit..
The little produce that is now rased barely throne
for the wants of the country.
Sydney and New Zealand ars begianieg to export
largely into California, not only flour, beans, potatoes,
home, but coal and manufactured goods, the latter
coming, of course, from England. Not a day palm
but the San Francisco papers record one or more
entries from that quarter. The coal of Australia
could be bought some months *goat Newcastle and
Sydney, for 7s. per ton ; at present the price has risen,
in coosequenoeof the increased demand, to 20s. per
ton. At San Francisco it brings, on the average,
from 26 to 30 dollars; English coal is, however, pre-
ferred, and commands readily from 36 to 40 dollars.
Coal is a safe and good article for export for this
The nominal rate of interest on mosey varies, at
this moment, from sto 8 per cent per month. Let
not, however, the monied public of Europe bite
too readily at this enticing bait, for the rinks are
still greater than the profits. The lender can
only expect as scenery one of two things, hones
or lands. If the former, he runs the risk of
finding, some morning, on awaking, that, like
the enchanted palace in the Arabian Nights
Entertainment, " they have gone off in a blase; as
for the securities in land, they are still more evanes-
cent. The first American that turns up, recently im-
ported, may take it into his bead to pick out a flaw in
your title, when away goes your pledge. Califor-
nian judges don't pride themselves upon a stoical im-
partiality, and with them a countryman, if not right,
can never be wrong. There is no impartial looker-on
here who will not admit that the proceedings of the
courts are a shame to the people who tolerate them.
Tee miners are flocking into San Francisco from
the interior in crowds, and taking their departure
almost as soon as they arrive for their respective
homes. This is a fortunate circumstance for the
numerous ships that have been, many of them, lying
in port for months, abandoned by their crews, and
without a prospectof °training return cargoes. There
are now multitudes of miners who volunteer to work
their passages to Panama; those who are not received
on those terms gladly pay from 80 to 100 dollars for
their passage. Once at Papaws, the English, French,
and German ships find employment in the guano
trade, by repairing to the still one:headed deposits
of that rich manure that are found off the port of
Calao in Peru. _
An excursion of several weeks through the north-
ern and southern mines has enabled me to ascertain,
by personal inspection' that the supply of gold is
almost inexhaustible. On the tope of the hills, on
their sloping sides, in the beds of the torrents, you
hare only to stoop done, and having taken up a few
handfuls of red earth to proceed to a neighbouring
stream and wash them. At the bottom of your pan
you are sure to find more or less of the glittering
metal which, in California, as elsewhere, commands
" our dearest homages." Let it not, however, be
supposed that gold may be had for the picking up,
even here. Many a poor devil has come to California
in this persuasion whose bones are now bleaching on
the hills and crass of this Eldorado, so ardently sighed
after. The toil and fatigue are immense; and
although eight hours' labour do, on an average, yield
from six to eight dollars, multitudes abandon the task
in despondency, and seek in the tows, that are now
starting op in every direction occupations of a less
remunerative character. Let your clerks, lawyers,
and doctors stay at home; this is not the place for
them. The hard-sinewed labourer, the man who has
been accustomed from his infancy to privations, can
alone hope to better his condition in this land, of which
it may with truth be said, that "many are called, but
few are chosen."
No doubt attempts will be made to beat the drum
in England, with a view of recruiting shareholders
for Mariposa, Yuba, and other California schemes.
Specimens of quarts will be exhibited of great rich-
ness, and the public will be told that there are whole
mountains of such stones. All this would be gross
exaggeration. There are certainly districts in which
rich specimens of gold bearing quartz may be found,
but they are few and far between. Like the plumber
in the Cumberland mines, they are only found in
"pockets." Yankees are knowing fellows, and if
these deposits of gold were what they represent them
to be, John Bull would not be troubled to unbutton
his fob to pay for shares. P_
