The following bond fide epistle, from a working man
now in California, addressed to a gentleman in London,
by whom he had been befriended, has been placed in the
hands of the Editor of the Banker's Magazine, with per-
mission to publish it. We do this in the words of the
writer, merely correcting his orthography where neces-
sary, because a communication of this kind conveys a
more graphic description of what is really taking place
at the " diggings " than probably any of the newspaper
accounts hitherto published :
"San Francisco, April 8, 1849.
" Sir,—l beg the liberty of writing this letter to yon,
informing you of my progress in life since I had the
honour to be personally addressing you. Raving bee❑
successful in obtaining a passage from Southampton
to New York, I there got into employment
in an iron store, where I was rather unfortunate, having
been laid up five weeks with a sore finger, occasioned by
the piling of railroad iron. I then, when I found myself
able to work, applied to a friend, whogot me a situation
on board the Pacific steamer, which left New York on
the Bth of December, and arrived at San Francisco on
the Ist of April. On arriving at San Francisco we were
iuformed of the wages of the port, which are for firemen
180 dollars per month; sailors, 100 to 150. Under
these circumstances, the firemen applied to me to speak to
the captain for the wages of the port, which I did ac-
cordingly, and the said captain would not conde-
scend to augment it one cent., but drew
his ship alongside of the Ohio man-of-war,
saying he would have us ironed and shot if we would
leave. I beg to say my wages was 30 dollars per month,
as need fireman ; the:others, 25 dollars. On that night
several consulted with me about leaving, when I freely
took the offer ; and when our watch came on I was
called, and lowered a boat, and off to the shore, distance
three miles. Next morning the captain, when he found
us gone, gave it out that he would give the wages of
the other steamers, but they would not rely on his word.
Tho principal part of the crew deserted, stowed them-
selves with passengers, and disguised themselves, &e.
When once a person will get ashore here, there is no one
to take them aboard again. There are no peace officers
here, and it is with difficulty they can get either
Custom• house or Post-office authority at 150 dollars per
month. Nothing is thought of gold here; 100 dollar
blocks are nothing. I have been offered 8 dollars per
day and board since I came ashore. The wages for
labourers are from 6 to 8 dollars a day; for carpenters,
15 to 18; tin-plate workers, 12 dollars per day; every
man is paid well, and there is work for five times as
many. My notions led me, since the first time I heat d
of the mines on my arrival in New York, to get to them,
and search my fortune out. I shall explain to you,
in my humble way, a little about the digging, and
habits and ways of the people. There are four
classes of people here, and at the mines—Americans
Chilians, English, Erni Caknackers, who belong to the
different islands. Wages are high, provisions very dear,
bread 25 cents. per pound; beef, 12 cents to 18; flannel
shirts, from 3 to 6 dollars, red or blue; picks and
shovels very high, 6 to 8 dollars; butter, 1 dollar to 11
per pound; and everything else according. It is sup-
posed there are 20,000 people at the different mines. I
am bound for dry digging this afternoon. I expect to
return in four months with 3001. sterling. The place I
am going to is Stanish Lea, in the valley of the Sanwa
River. Some hundreds of the American aristocracy
have come out on speculation—colonels, &c., &c.
The people are very honest, nothing is
stolen, only what cheating is done is by
"gambling." There are several who will go and dig for
three months, and come down and gamble every cent of
it. There is not much demand for broad cloth, silks, or
such, for the tasty Yorkers come soon i❑ the same habits
of the natives, rough clothes, &c. Men that you would
give alms to, from their appearance, would have 70,000
dollars of dust or lumps about their person. It sells for
15 to 16 dollars per ounce, generally 16 dollars is the
price of it. Not one meal is to be got in an hotel under
12 dollars. The miners all live in camps. There are
several ships stopping here for the want of hands to
take them back; all hands desert a ship when they arrive
here, except they get the wages of the port. The bay of
San Francisco is very fine; for the town, I can't describe
it. There are four or five streets marked out, the
houses here and there. There are some few houses
rather tasty, which belong to the Americans. It is sup-
posed that the English and Americans will join, and
drive the Chilians out of the mines, and plunder them.
Others believe that the English and Americans will not
lose time from the digging. Any friend that sends goods
here, let them consist of boots, shoes, picks, shovels,
flannel shirts, monkey-jackets, blankets; anything strong
and coarse, will sell. It is supposed that 2,000 Americans
will arrive here in two mouths."

The accounts received to-day from the manufacturing
districts are rather less encouraging than on this day
se'nnight. Messrs. M•lsTair, Greeuhow, and Irving write
from Manchester as follows :

" Since the date of our last alternate excitement and
repose may be said to have been the prominent features
of the market. The transactions of the month, though
not equalling those of July in extent, have, however,
been again very extensive. Within the last few days
the market has become very decidedly quieter, accom-
panied with a suspension of all operations admitting of
delay. As regards the prices of certain descriptions of
cloth and twist the tendency is perceptibly downwards."
The exports of silver from London during the week
ending Thursday last were 225,700 ounces, chitfly to
France and Holland, and 480 ounces of gold bars went
also to France.

The Funds have rallied a little to-day, ono or two money
purchases baring been made, and there has been a cessa-
tion of speculative sales. Consols have realised 9241,
and are now 924- The New Throe-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been quoted 93i and the Three per Cents.

billahave been at 395. to 425. for the small; and India
Bonds 725. to 755. premium.
The Foreign Securities have further-receded. Spanish
Five per Cents. Stock has been quoted 18k, and the
Three per Cents. 344. Peruvian Deferred Bonds have
been 16 to 164, and Brazilian Small 85 to 861.
R.tilway Shares are without the least improvement,
but it should be stated that the decline yesterday was
not in reality so great as it appeared, the dividend being
deducted from the price of the North-Western and
several other lines. The York and North Midland are
very heavy to-day, and also the Caledonian, Eastern
Counties, North Stafford, and South-Eastern.

THE LATE REV. GEORGE CLARK.—A tablet - just been erected in the chapel of the Military AtYlt:,
yO,
at Chelsea, in memory of this gentleman, who .e
tour years filled the office of chaplain to the Royal, a t
tary Asylum at Chelsea—that is, from the foundatilv
the institution till his death, in January, 1848.
tablet, which is four feet square, is surmounted beef
Bible and olive branch. On it is recorded the sense 10,
the merits of their clerical instructor entertained 1:1 to,
subscribers to its erection—viz., the officers, non. Oho
missioned officers, soldiers, and persons in civil life ot;/,
have been educated in the Asylum during the niinis of
of the deceased chaplain. It is highly to the credit e,
the subscribers that they responded cordially to the
quisition made to them for the erection of this montioein
to departed worth, and that there was no difficult/
obtaining the necessary funds for its erection.
THE NEW COAL EXCHANGE.--An amusing -- ,e
ea.°,
took place at the New Coal Exchange a few weeks:: of
Certain parties, who occupy premises on the east side I
the building, conceiving that the City authorities were
op
legally justified in opening windows which look in °Po,
their ground, erected poles in the yard in their oceoKo
Lion, and caused to be nailed to these poles, at 'lg
inches from twelve of the windows of the Exchangfota
black boards, to the almost total exclusion of light 'ffol
some of the chambers of this very compact and grac,eite
it' structure. As in such matters the law may exhib et,
proverbial uncertainty and tardiness, the City arch tear
upon being instructed to remedy the evil, placed a 5 ja
penter, with a saw in his hand, at every window, 511. the
an instant, at the whistle of Mr. Bunning, each 0' foil
twelve carpenters commenced operations, and down lee
the twelve hoards, letting in the direct light of 13,esoati
upon the building, and exciting great merrirnerlibrrei
surprise. We understand that an action is eac'gbe
against the City architect by the proprietors 01.

LLANRWST.—The harvest operations here iof
full vigour, most of the wheat and also a deal of bilroio,
having been secured. The crops, of all sorts of grof
were never known to be better in the Vale of °I of
and its environs than they are this season; pleudto
straw and heavy in the ear. We also learn from 'or,
vast adjoining upland region of Penmachuo, YsP/ "of
Pentrevoelas, and Ce rrigydruidion, that their cro,P.eco,
barley and oats (no wheat sown), BEd a'so their 130t,`ido,
are grand crops, and bid fair to be early to the_;`,,sier
they being already in a state of forwardness.— c,"`
