long marquees of Mr. B. Edgington, of the Borough, which
fortunately kept out the rain and afforded a place of retreat
to those present. Atnonot the visitors were the Dukes of

Devonshire and Sutherland, the Duchess of Sutherland, and
a few others of the nobility. The music was under the direc.

Miss TALBOT AT THE PALACE.—Yesterday
young heiress visited the Crystal Palace in company with
the Countess of Newburgh, and appeared in
directions where her incognita could not be presumed to be
the subject of much conversation. Ihe scene around her no
doubt presented a striking contrast to the lonely
convent at Taunton.—Sunday Paper.

The United States' Pacific mail steam-ship New Or.

cisco with mails of March 15, 212 passengers, and
600,000 dolls. gold dust on freight. The steam-ship

800,000 dolls. gold dust; and on the 3d, the steamship

Our accounts from the "United States by the Africa
are of little importance. Mr. Secretary Webster had
delivered at Boston another oration on the unity of the
constitution, ecc. Letters from Washington, published
in the journals supposed to be peculiarly well informed
on political movements, say, under date Washington,
April 20:—
Dispatches were yesterday received from Mr. BPCurdy,
United States, Charge to Vienna, of the date of March 29th,
stating that the Austrian Government had refused the appli-
cation .f the Sultan fur permission to release Kossuth and
the Hungarian patriots, his companions, from confinement.
By a compact existing between Austria and Turkey the lat-
ter Power was charged with and accepted the surveillance of
these unfortunate exiles, numbering several hundreds ; bat
finding the expense of their maintenance becoming burden-
some she applied to be released from the incumbrance.
Permission was granted in reference to all except Kos-
suth and eight or ten others. This decision was communi-
cated before intelligence reached Vienna respecting the re-
cent action of our Government. An urgent appeal will be
addressed to Austria on this subject.
The Archduke, the brother of the Emperor, who is to
command the Austrian navy, will visit the United States in
the course of the year to examine our public yards and modes
of naval construction, and doubtless make himself acquainted
with the character of our institutions generally.
The public rumours in regard to the apprehended Cuban
invasion are greatly exaggerated. No doubt a project has
been formed, but very imperfectly. The Government has
taken every precaution to put down the movement should
any be attempted ; and the intelligence received by telegraph
from all the federal officers in the South justifies the convic-
tion that it must fail and be abandoned. No expedition can
leave the United States successfully. The Act f Congress
and our treaty with Spain will be faithfully executed by the
Administration.
The late French Ambassador and his family will leave the
United States on the 14th of May. Lady Bulwer will visit
England in the same steamer.
The grand jury of the United States District Court, at
Boston, have brought in new bills of indictment against
Elizur Wright, one of the editors of the Commonwealth
newspaper, and others, for siding in the rescue of the fugi-
tive slave.
The injunction which had been obtained by Mrs. Forrest,
wife of Edwin Forrest, the actor, has been in effect dis-
solved, because no act of molestation is shown, and no good
ground exists for apprehending any. It is also dissolved so
far as it restrains the defendant from disposing of his pro-
perty, because he has not abandoned her without adequate
support, and there is no reason to apprehend that he will
rispose of his property so as to avoid the jurisdiction of the
Court. But the injunction is retained so far as it restrains
the defendant from proceeding in his suit in Pennslyvania,
because the defendant has not legally changed his residence
from this state to that, and has no right, while both par-
ties are legally domiciled in this state, to subject his wife
to a foreign jurisdiction, for the purpose of obtaining a
divorce.
This suit having, however, been improperly commenced by
a wife against her husband, without suing,by a next friend,
the injunction will be wholly dissolved unless she amend in
this respect within ten days.
ARRIVAL OF IMMIGRANTS.—OR the 22d of April the
number that came up to New York city was 3,913. Of these
1,915 were from Liverpool, 291 from London, 127 from Bre-
men, 159 from Limerick, 121 from Hamburgh, 299 from
Glasgow, &c,, making a total to the 19th inclusive of 17,296.
Tux GOLD REGIONS.—We have ten days' later advices
from California, reaching to the 15th of March. The Indian
Commissioners, with a strong escort of soldiers, were at Ma-
riposa at the lest accounts. No treaty has yet been formed
with the Indians. San Francisco is constantly enlarging,
and presents new facilities for business, while the northern

determined fully to test the matter, and commenced working
the flat. Mr. Holden was informed of the proceedings, and
prepared to resist them. lie enlisted several persona in his
cause, and on Thursday proceeded to attack the squatters.
They resisted ; one of their party was killed, and three of
Mr. Holder's men, while several persons were wounded.
When our informant left the excitement ;consequent upon
what had occurred was very great, and no doubt was enter-
tained that still more fatal results would ensue.

The steam-ship Prometheus arrived at New York (
Friday evening, the 18th April, from Chagres and St. Juan ee
Nicaragua, bringing 260 passengers, and specie in passengers'
hands. The Cherokee arrived on Sunday morning, the 20th,
bringing 171 passengers, 403,119 35 dolls. in gold dust, and
the California mails of March 15th.
The steamer New Orleans arrived at Panama on the Ist,
with 212 passengers and 600,000 dols. in gold dust on
freight. The Northerner also arrived at Panama on the Is ,
with :30 passengers, and bOO,OOO dolls. in gold dust on freight.
The Antelope arrived at Panama, April 3d, with 160 pas-
sengers, and 6(0,000 dolls. in gold dust, on freight. They
all left San Francisco on the 15th of March.
Business has revived a little since former advices, and it
was believed that the lowest point of depression has been
passed. The amount of importations hart fallen off consi-
derably, but owing to the great lack of rain the miners
were doing less than usual. The Legislature has pro-
hibited the sale of lottery tickets, appropriated 200,000
dolls. and upwards for the pay of persons engaged in mi-
litary operations against the Indians, and authorised the
Treasurer to obtain a loan of 500,000 dolls., which has not
yet been obtained.
r On Wednesday morning, the 12th of March, a fire broke
out at Nevada City, which originated in a bowling alley,
and was supposed to be the work of an incendiary. The
flames extended in all directions with great rapidity, and
continued to rage until he fairest part of the city was de-
stroyed. Upwards of 200 houses were either burned or torn
down to stop further ravages. By this terrible calamity,
over two thousand persons, including many families, have
lost their all. The total loss sustained is estimated at one
million two hundred thousand dollars. This does net in-
clude the gold dust which was in the possession of indivi-
duals, and which is estimated at one hundred thousand dol-

lars more.
Since the affair at Sacramento, described in our former
advises, Lynch; law has become prevalent in many of the
mining districts. The, people, subjected to continual depre-
dations from bands of thieves and marauders, and impatient
of the ordinary process of law, have taken the administra-
tion ofjustice into their own hands, On the Cosumne River,
where more than a hundred thousand dollars worth of live
stock has been stolen, two thieves who were taken by the
settlers were immediately hung. A notorious robber, named
" Yankee Jim," was also executed in Domnieville, a number
of crimes having been proved against him. This course is
said to have had the effect of intimidating the thieves is
some quarters. A fatal affray took place at Sonora, between
a man named Holden, who had claimed a plot of ground and
laid it out as a garden, and some miners, who attempted to
turn it up for gold. Five men were killed and four others
mortally wounded. The excitement relative to the subject
was very great.
Messrs. Moffat and Co., who have the Government con-
tract for assaying gold, have opened their office in San Fran-
cisco. Within two or three hours they received about a
hundred thousand dollars in dust deposited to be converted
into coin. One effect of this office will be to give honest men
a chance to obtain the worth of their gold, and put a check
upon the process of adulteration, which has been carried on
to a very great extent.
Much excitement has been carried on in San Francisco by
orders from Judge Parsons of the Fourth District Court,
citing certain e-liters to appear before him, and answer for
"contempt," in consequence of strictures upon his charge to
the grand jury in their papers. One of the editors was fined
500 dollars, and refusing to pay, sentenced to close confine-
ment until the fine be paid. The citizens met en masse, de-
nounced Judge Parsons' course, and some advocated taking
the prisoner from his cell by force. Strong condemnatory
resolutions were passed, the Judge invited to resign, and the
Legislature requested to have him impeached. The accused
has been taken before the Superior Court of this city, on a
writ of habeas corpus, and discharged.
The yield of the mines continued about the same. There
is still no end to the discoveries of the veins of gold in
quartz, and new and rich placers. On the Mokelumne
gold is found in large quantities on the sides and summits fif
hills. The northern mines on Trinity Scott's Klamath and
other rivers and creeks still attract much attention, and many
have gone thither.
The Alta California thus describes the growth of San
Francisco:—
San Francisco is still constantly enlarging her borders,
spreading on all saes, up the hills, tilling the valleys, walk-
ing out tow rd and beyond North Beach, toward the Presido,
to the south away toward and at the Mission, and especially
into the harbour over the water lots, fast filling up the whole
shallow part of the harbour in nearly a straight line from
Rincon Point on the south to Clark's Point, on the east side
of the city. Beyond this streets are being constructed, cut
through the rock at the base of the steep hills fronting on the
harbour and shipping. Large and well-built brick store
now stand where only a few months since the water craft
were dashing aside the waters of the harbour with their
rushing prows.
