STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

SAN FitANmco, Nov. 1..--rhe news of the ad-
mitsion of Calaurni4-into the Union has, naturally

enough, diffused universal joy throughout thil country.
Cowidering the important con equences which must
flow from this measure, it deserves the hearty recep-
tion with which it is greeted. For an account of the
rejoicings which the event called forth here I must
refer you to the papers sent by this mail. Business,
notwithstanding a slight interruption, caused by the
" frolicking" and holyda)making of the last two
weeks, is quite brisk. Prices are not so high as they
have been, but there is a good steady demand, which
is a more healthy symptom than the feverishness
which sometimes affects our market. We are here,

to use a hackneyed phrase, " progressing with giant
strides." The few following statistics will tend to
justify this remark, and probably be of interest
to some of your readers, viz.:—The number
of foreign vessels which have entered this port
during the quarter ending the 30th of September,
last was 152 ; their torimige, 39,927 tons. Of these
foreign bottoms 89 were British (chiefly from our
colonies of New South Wales, Australia, and New
Zealand), 11 French, 3 Coilian, 7 Hamburghese, 5
Russian, 5 Hswaian, 4 Mexican, 4 Danish, 2 Norwe-

gian, 2 New Grenadian, 3 Argentine Republic, 2
Austrian, 1 Bremen, 1 Sardinian, 1 Swedibh, 1 Hano-
verian, 1_ Portuguese, 1 Lubec, 1 Ecuadorian, 1 Peru-

vino, 1 Belgian, and 1 Dutch. The largest propor-
tion of tonnage, as of ;vessels, is British ; it amounts
to 25,221 tons. If to the above 152 foreign vessels

we add 89 American vessels, and their tonnage,

24,984 tons, which have entered from foreign coun-
tries, it will give a total of 241 vessels of 64,911 tons
(aggregate) burden, wtich have arrived here from
foreign countries in the three months. To give a
proper estimate of the trade of this place, however, I
must add 247 American vessels which have entered

during the same quarter from the various ports of the
Union, and their tonnage, 84,453 tons, to the above

figures, and we have a total of ships entered of 488,

of 149,3E4 tons register.
Now as to the vessels which have cleared :-147
foreign vessels, of 37,404 tons (the majority B, lash),
and 194 American vessels, of 63,649 tons, have cleared
for foreign countries ; and 75 American vessels, of
14,973 tons, have cleared in the same period for the
various ports of the United States (" coasting trade,"
to use the Custom-house phrase), making the total
number of vessels which have left this port in the
quarter 416, of 116,026 tons register.
Then, as to the increase of population :—During
the same period 11,080 emigrants (a small number
compared with former periods) arrived from all parts,
of whom 317 were women—the majority of both
sexes being Americans. The number of male
foreigners in the whole emigration of this period was
2,982. Of the whole emigration 31 persons only are
reported as being under 21 sears or age. This is as it
should be in the present state of the country. We
want ph) sical strength and maturity of judgment to

develope our resources.
Let us now see what haslieen doing with the gold-
dust, of which so much is spoken. We will, however,
take the imports first. The value of all the specie
and bullion entered was 560,000 dulls. only, as mani-
fested—all brought by the Panama steamers, and
chiefly from the ports of the Mexican coast. I should
think, however, that at least six times as much arrived
unmanifested. The value in dollars of all the specie,
bullion, and gold dust exported in the quarter, as
declared, is 8,167,880 dolts. (which I may call all
golddust). The amounts of the remittances vary in
different months more than one would think,—tor
instance, 2,120,000 dolls. went away in July, while
5,129,880 dolls. went in August, and only 918,000
dolls. in September. The destination of this treasure
was as follows:—To Chili, 295,756 dolls.; to Hobart
Town, 22,000 dolls.; to China, 17,000 dolls.; and to
Panama, for the United States and Europe, 7,833,124
dolls. Tu the total amount of exported gold dust, us
manifested, we can safely add 1,000,000 dolls. taken
by passengers for all parts privately, to save paying
freight, and by the captains of foreign vessels, who do
not often manifest their gold.
To form a tolerable idea of the enormous traffic of
San Francisco, and of the trade of the country gene-
rally, your readers will be assisted by knowing that
there are on the route between this and Panama 13
steamers, one of which leaves San Francisco twice a
month regularly, and oftener occasionally ; their
aggregate tonnage is 13,198 tons, and there are five
more steamers of large size soon to be added to the
number. Besides all this there is a large fleet of
steamers and cratt of all sorts and sizes plying on the
inland waters of the state, and their number is con-
tinually increasing.
Emigration is for the present evidently checked,
for I find that the number of arrivals for the last
month (October) has only been 1,227, while the
Number of departures has been 5,804.
The export of gold dust was 4,439,461 dollars, in-
cluding. 514,000 dollars taken by the Northerner
steamer, which left for Panama yesterday. The amount
to he taken by the steamer Panama to-day is not yet
declared. The steamers which arrived here during
the list month are the Carolina on the 7th, the
Columbus on the 12th, the Oregon on the 19th,
the Northerner on the 22d, and the Antelope on the
25th. The following British vessels arrived :—The
Corsair, on the 15th, from Halifax; the Mercy, from
Bahia ; and the Rebecca, from Hobart Town, on the
20th. The clearances of British vessels are—the
Agincourt, for China; the Avon, for Valparaiso; the
Will-o'-the-Wisp, for San Blas, all on the 16th; the
Jane Tudor, for Valparaiso, on the 17th; the Bar- I
bare, fur Realejo ; the Camilla, for Auckland, on the
18th ; the Cay uga, for Launceston ; the Lorcbe and
St. Andrew, for the Sandwich Islands, on the 19th ;
the Artemisia, for Sydney, on the 22d; the Brazilian,
for Realejo ; the Amelie, for Mazatlan; the Light-
ning, for the Pacific ports, on the 24th ; the Portenia,
for the Sandwich Islands, on the 27th; and the Ga-
zelle, for Mazatlan, on the 30th.
Her Majesty's ship Dreialus returned from Van-
couver's Island on the 23d ult., is now here, and leaves
for Valparaiso about the 11th.
With regard to the mines, the accounts are as flat-
tering as ever. New discoveries are continually being
made. A gentleman who has lived for nearly tw.
years in the southern mining districts told me, three
days ago, that the gold, although not so abundant,
and far more inaccessible than formerly, still exists in
immense quantities, both in quartz and in the earth ;
but that, until labour cheapens, it cannot be worked
on a large scale with profit. This gentleman was en-
gaged in a gold mine in Chili for seven years, and 1
know him well by character; his report is worthy of
the other (the
credit. Then, as to the prospects in

northern) mining district, from all accounts it is
equally good. A piece of stone, richly intersected
with pure gold veins, has lately been discovered at
Navada City, on Deer Creek, a tributary ot the Juba
river, which is likely to lead to great results. This
stone has been dug round to the depth of a yard, but
it has not yet been ascertained whether it is the head
of a vein or only a solitary lump ot stone. Its rich-
ness is very great, and the finder has refused 40,000
dolls. for his claim upon it. I bad this story on good
authority.
Exchange—On New Yolk, Boston, Philadelphia,
and New Orleans, bills at sight at par. England,
sight, 48d. to 49d. per dollar; 60 days, 501. to 52.1.
France, sight, sf. Hamburgh, sight. 43 to 44
banco. Valparaiso, 30 days, 6 per cent. premium ;
Mexico, 30 days, par to 1 per cent. premium.
Gold dust has been abundant during last month.
In fact, there was an unusual quantity in the market.
l'he price, however, kept firm for good clean dust at
16 dollars per ounce ; for the last three days it has
been worth 161 dollars.
The interest on money is 5 to 7 per cent. per
month.
Real estate is very dull. In the backward parts
of the town the value has actually fallen, and
the fluctuation in the price at present going
on has made people very wary in buying land ;
hence a general dulness prevails. We had a
dreadful accident the other day. A steamer plying
between this place and Stockton burst her boiler just
at starting from the pier. She was crowded with
passengers, of whom about 70 were killed and
maimed. We have had another fire, too ; this time,
however, only a small one for us. Two houses were
burnt—one a house of ill-fame, the other an hospital.
The fire is attributed to incendiarism.
A good many deaths having lately occurred, has
given rise to the belief that the cholera prevails here.
'rhe doctors differ on the subject, and when I recollect
that at this time last year there was an equal number
of deaths among people who returned from the mines,
I am inclined to think that the disease supposed to be
the cholera is not so, but a disease of the country.
' In Sacramento city. however, cholera has certainll
prevailed for some time hick, and a good many thaths
have taken place.—Times.

ART UNION or LONDON.— The council,
Ptinuation of their eflOrts to carry out the principle constantly
advocated in their reports, of bringing high art to the aid of
ur manufactures, have commissioned the production of a
tazza, in tine cast iron. The form selected is one of the mo,t
gracthil in the Etru,can room of the Must um, and
it is intended to °man-writ the interior of the bowl with
figures in low relief, which have been very successfully mo-
delled by Mr. E. Wyon, after a design from a vase in Sir
W tn. Hamilton's collection, representing Hercules and the
Hesperides. A certain number of the tazzas will be given
as prizes in the distribution of the current year.—Builder.

ST. GEORGE'S STEAM•PACKET COMPANY.—Messrs.
Blood and Soulby, the official managers of this company, have
resigned their appointments ; but his Honour, Master Ferrer,
has intimated his intention, should there be no opposition, of
re-appointing Mr. Soulby to be official manager.
MILDNESS OF THE WEATLIFR.—On the last night
of the past year the temperature of the air at the Durham
Observatory, about :'SO teet above the sea, was never lower
than 54 deg.—considerably above the mean temperature of
the whole year. The mean temperature, however, of the
month of December has not been higher than ita average
deducted from the observation of many years.—Durham
Advertiser.

IRELAND.
DUBLIN, JAN. B.—A letter from Mr. Moore, the
Roman Catholic Member for Mayo, to Mr. John
O'Connell, has apveared, frean which one might con-
clude that it would have been better for the latter
Hun. Gentleman if he had not invited the former to
his proposed meeting of Roman Catholic Members.
Mr. Moore :takes the opportunity of settling an ac-
count with Mr. O'Connell, for a charge which the
latter had brought against him of assailing his father's
memory. Mr. Moore's writes as follows :
" Take my advice, my d, ar sir, and leave your father's
memory alone—it can lake care of itself. It is far too
great to be affected by a sneer of mine, were I eapable
of uttering such. O'Connell has left behind him the me-
ni,::ry of an illustrious Irishman a memory which I
verity believe that Irishmen of every party are inclined
to treat with respect. Have better faith in your father's
glory, and less confidence in the virtue of such assistance
as your own petulant advocacy can supply. As for the
expressions which you have thought proper to apply to
me, such as Orange,' ' paltry," unworthy," contempt-
ible,' &c., it would be inappropriate to call them un-
worthy,' or even • contemptible'—they are simply stupid;
and I should be as great a blunderer as yourself if I
noticed them further. The tone of supercilious
depreciation in which you constantly speak of all
your contemporaries does, however, somewhat amuse
me ; and reminds me of an illustration which
I have somewhere, met with—of a dwarf who had
for some time kept company with a giant, and who,
from seeing his companion looking down upon those who
surrounded him, acquired the ridiculous habit of endea-
vouring to cast down his eyes upon men, whose middle
be could scarce reach when standing upon tiptoe.' With
regard to the preliminary meetit.g in Dublin, to which
you are so good as to invite me, I think it right to re-
mind you that the penal measures which are about to
inaugurate the Parliamentary aession of 1851, are likely
to apply peculiarly, perhaps exclusively, to the English
Catholics; and that any mea.ures that 'may be resolved
upon, without their concurrence, would be necessarily
imperfect, and possibly injurious to the cause which I
believe you to have sincerely at heart.
" I am, my dear Sir, yours very truly,

" John O'Connell, Es.q., &c." "
Sales pursuant to the instructions of the Incum-
bered Estates Commissioners took place in Cork yes-
terday and on the preeediug day. On Monday the
estate sold was that of John Sullivan, of Dunderrow,
in the county of Cork, containing 100 acres of land,
with a mansion house and (Aces, valued by the poor-
law valuation at 1471., and subject to a house rent of
801. It was sold to the Rev. J. B. Webb for 8701,
subject to the sanction of the Commissioners.

The estate sold yesterday was that of Robert Tre-
sills°, of Bally volane, near Bandon, containing 100
acres of land, with tenants' houses, and yielding a
rental of 681. per annum. Mr. Thomas Fuller was
declared the purchaser at 7801., subject, as in the
preceding case, to the sanction of the Commissioners.
A portion or the Earl of Mountcashell's estates were
to have been sold yesterday at Belfast. The sales at
the court in Henrietta .street commence on Friday
next, when seven properties will be put up for com-
petition.
The Rural Deans of Killaloe have applied to the
clergy of their district to address the Queen on the
" Papal aggression." The Dean of Kilmacduagh
has refused his signature.
Mr. Corry Connellan, the late private secretary to
the Lord-Lieutenant, has joined the Attorney-Ge-
neral and a fashionable circle at Johnstown Castle, the
seat of Mr. Grogan Morgan, M.P.

LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM.
Yesterday evening a ball took place at the London
Tavern in aid of the funds of this valuable institution.
Under the, combined influences of dancing and charity
the attendance was unusually large, upwards of 700
ladies and gentlemen being present, and fioting it on
the light fantastic toe with an amount of perseverance
truly edifying to behold. Weippert's band kept the
whole assemblage in a state of uninterrupted activity,
which
~reminded one of that long sought for deside-
ratum •in the mechanical world, perpetual motion.
This ball may be regarded as the climax of an un-
usually prosperous season in the annals of the asylum.
During the course of 1850 the licensed victuallers,
partaking, it is to be presumed, ef the general pros-
perity, have, with the assistance of their friends, the
great brewers, distillers, and wine-merchants, col-
lected no less than 7,7331., the largest sum they have
ever been able to muster in one year since the founda-
tion of the charity. This unprecedented success has
been chiefly owing to the building of a chapel, which has
been erected with a degree of dispatch not unworthy of
the Crystal Palace itself, and which has received an
amount of support highly creditable to the licensed vic-
tuallers as a body. They have now the largest trade
asylum in England, and probably in the world—an

week when he is entirely destitute, and if he has other
means they add enough to raise it to that scale. he is
a married man, they allow his wife to live with him, and
make the weekly allowance 7s. The expenditure on this
account is 1,8001. a year, besides 401. for nurses, and other
incidental sources of outlay. To meet this the annual
amount of the " endowment tun''," as it is called, has only
hitherto been 1,3001., aud the attention of the indefati-
gable secretary, Mr. Jones, is now directed to raise this
fund, so as to diminish the debt at present liquidated
from other sources, and also to increase the comforts of
those who from misfortune or ocher causes become in-
mates of the asylum. " The ladies' wing," the founda-
tion-stone of which was laid by his Royal Highness
Prince Albert in June, 1849, is now more than hull
completed, and the whole institution, notwithstanding its
still acknowledged wants, is managed with a degree of
economy which other charities of the kind might imitate
with advantage, and which secures its permanent pros-
perity. At least, it vigorous dancing can accelerate the
footsteps of benevolence, the Licensed Victuallers' Asy-
lum can be congratulated on the success which it last
night achieved.

THE CASE OF MRS. SLOANE.
MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
On Tuesday evening last information was received at
the station where the warrant is deposited, that Mrs.
Sloane was to be found residing in the neighbourhood
of Chelsea. Accordingly two detective officers of the
City police force were dispatched in company with a '
clerk from the Temple, who brought the information,
and they proceeded direct to Ranelagh-street, Chelsea.
On arriving there the clerk pointed out the house in
Which be believed Mrs. Sloane was concealed, and the
officers stepped forward and knocked boldly at the front
door. It is as opened, end they were immediately after
ushered into the drawing-room, where they found a lady,
apparently about 45 years of age, and exactly answering
in every particular the description of Mrs. Sloane as it is
et forth in the placards offering the reward for her
apprehension. The clerk from the Temple felt per-
fectly satisfied that she was the party they came in
search of, and on the officers unfolding their business
they were greeted by a volley of abuse, at the termina-
tion of which the lady complained bitterly of the conti-
nual armee anco she experienced in consequence of being
mistaken for first one disreputable character and then
another. Some time back she was recognised as Mrs.
Manning, and now she was identified as that horrible
wretch, Mrs. Sloane. The officers wero astonished at
meeting with such a reception, and the clerk looked on
extremely dubious; but at length they were resolved to
put an end to the perpkxity they were in by sending to
the Royal Free Hospital for the girl Jane Wilbred,in
order that she might identify the party. One of the
officers accordingly lett for that purpose, teed
although past the usual h..ar far the patients, o
retire to rest in that establishment, Jane Wilbred
was taken in a cab to Chelsea, but directly she
was placed before the lady she said, "Oh! that is
not Mrs. Sleane." Upon this the lady became
more %iolent in her behaviour towards the officers, tell-
mg them in language not the most polite that if they
had done their duty in a proper manner they would have
had Mrs. Sloane before ibis, instead of letting her go so
easily when they might have taken her in the first in-
stance. After various apologies on the part of the
officers for intruding upon tne lady's privacy, she be-
came somewhat pacified, and ultimately terminated this
singular interview by giving the officers a very pressing
invitation to take tea with her on the following even-
ing. From further inquiries the officers made it ap•
peered that this lady was very a ccentric in her habits
and confined herself strictli to her own apartments. This
seclusion, coupled wi.h the tact of her great resemblance
to Mrs. Sloane, and her only recently having taken the
aeertmeuts she occupied, has led to the above ludicrous
mistake.

LONDON LIFE ASSOCIATION.—Yesterday a special
general court of proprietors in the above mutual assurance
company was held at the offices, King William-street. Mr.
Franks ptesiding. A report was read from the directors,
from which it appeared that under the deed of settlement a
certain day f Ist July) is fixed for commencing policies and
dividing profits, and that seven such anniversaries must have
passed betore the assured becomes entitled to any share of
the profits in the shape of reduction of annual. premium.
The effect of this is that while some become entitled to
share after seven annual payments, eight payments become
necessary in the case of others. To obviate this injustice
the directors propose to reckon from the actual day of entry,
without any reference to the Ist of July, and to allow
the assured to enter into share of profits after seven
annual payments. To carry out these objects certain re-
solutions were submitted to the Court, wide!), after sore
short discussion on minor points, were unanimously agreed to,
and, thanks being voted to the chair, the proceedings termi-
nated.

COMPOSITION OF THE FRENCII NATIONAL As-

JAMAICA.
Our advices from Jamaica are to the 15th. The
cholera, we notice, has again broken out in St. Ca-
tharine's, and there have teen a few fatal cases since
its re-appearance is that place. Li Kingston it ha,
nearly disappeared, although fears are entertained
that this awful scourge will again make its re-ap-
pearance in that place, in consequence of the great
neglect of the authorities in enforcing the sanitary
regulations.
We observe from the files before us that this fear-
ful epidemic has made its appearance in every part of
the island, and in some districts the greatest misery
prevails; thousands are dying from the want of
common assistance, and there is neither medicines
nor a medical man to be bad on any consideration.
The accounts are indeed deplorable, and we believe
the misery to be unparalleled in the annals of the
sufferings of Jamaica.
The Legislature, which bad been adjourned by
his Excellency Sir Charles Grey, had resumed its
duties on the 10th, and had continued all the Bills
which would have expired on the 31st December until
the Ist May. Mr. Smith's Bill for the establish-
ment of an Orphan Asylum was read the third time,
and passed.
A vacancy having been occasioned in the House
by the death of Francis M'Cook, Esq., representative
of St. Dorothy, an election took place in that parish,
and David Brandon, Esq., of Kingston, was elected
by a majority of eight. Mr. Brandon's election, we
notice, has been protested aeainst by the unsuccessful
candidate, Peter Harrison, Esq., on the ground that
it was obiained by bribery and corruption. It was
therefore ordered by the House that the said petition
be taken into consideration on the 15th January next,
on which day the petitioner, his agent, and counsel,
and David Brandon, his agent, and counsel, do at-
tend at the bar of the House.
A few days prior to the departure of the steamer
the greatest alarm prevailed in Kingston, in conse-
quence of a report which was circulated that a
Grenadian vessel, with the small-pox on board, had
been allowed to come up to the harbour, without being
boarded by the health officer. On investigation, the
rumour was discovered to be quite unfounded, as the
health officer had not only boarded the vessel in the
stream, but positively declared that she was quite free
from any disease.
Her Majesty's steamer Alban arrived in Kingston
on the 7th December, from Carthagena, but was placed
in quarantine, in consequence of her having the
measles on board.
We regret to notice the death of Mr. Robert Cur-
rie, agent at Kingston for the Royal Mail Steam-
packet Company. Mr. Currie died at St. Thomas,
whither he had proceeded for the benefit of his
health. The Daily Advertiser says that the news
was communicated to her Majesty's steamer
Alban, at Carthagena, by the Royal Mail Company's
ship Tay. The weather was described as being very
warm in Kingston for the close of the year. In some
parts of the south side it was said to be rather favour-
able, and in Westmoreland there were strong breezes
with a few good showers of rain. A correspondent
of the Daily Advertiser says that the plants bane been
well established, and, all things considered, have
yielded well for the time.
Major Grieme, the Governor of Tobago, died on
the 14th of December of paralysis, after an illness of
a day and a half.
A slight shock of an earthquake was experienced
at St. Thomas on the night of the 19th of December.
Stations of her Majesty's Ships—Her Majesty's
steamer Inflexible, at Greytown ; ditto Alban, at
Jamaica; ship Persian, at ditto; ditto Scorpion at

troop-ship sailed for England from Jamaica on the
6th December, with detachments of Royal Artillery.
The Persian was to sail for Nassau and Belize from
Jamaica, on the 18th Dec., with detachments of
Royal Artillery.
The Tay passed and exchanged colours with the
brig Mazvpa, of Liverpool, on the 6th inst., in lat.
49, 1 N.; long. 9, 24 W.
Stations of the Company's Steam Ships—The

way, Captain Woolley, Honduras and Havannah
route ; the Eagle, Captain Wilson, Barbadoes.

JAMAICA MARKETS.
(From Cordova's Mercantile lntelligencer.)
GENERAL REMARKS.—Our market wears a slightly
improved appearaLce, consequent on the almost total
cessation of cholera in the city, and dealers seem to come
forward rather more freely than has been the case for
the last six or eight weeks. Business is, however, con-
fined for the most part to Kingston, there being little
trade with the outports, in consequence of the prevalence
of cholera in the rural districts. All the accounts from
the interior represent the disease as spreading with a
degree of violence equally fatal to human lite and the
prospects of the coining crops ; very little probability
exists of the estates' pi ople being induced to work,
panic-stricken as they are by the prevalence of the
epidemic.
