CALIFORNIA.

The accounts from California relative to the pro-
duction of gold, do not differ materially from
those received by previous steamers. It is estimated
that there were about eighty thousand people among
the mines, most of whom were digging with more or
less success. The average product per head is set
dawn at 5 dolls. ; but even that small sum is too high,
judging from the comparatively limited shipments of
gold dust. The exportation of gold dust from San
Francisco has not averaged thus far—Nov. 2, 1842
more than half a million per month, as far as we oan
judge by the most authentic returns received; and it
appears to us that if the average product was as large
as reported, the shipments would have been to a much
greater extent; eighty thousand miners, at an average
of even one dollar per day, would produce more than
2,000,000 dolls. per month; and at an average of
five dollars per day, would give an aggregate of
12,000,000 dolls per month. The statements, there-
fore, relative to the production must be very much
exaggerated, or else the gold remains in the hands of
the diggers. We have no doubt that large amounts
of gold are hoarded by the miners ; but we do not
believe that the quantity mined is anything like
that which the reported average product per head
would come to. It is estimated that about 500 ves-
sels had, up to the Ist of November, arrived at; t
Francisco from the United States and Europe, and
that at least 100,000 people were at that time in
California. The average cost of outfit for each person
cannot be less than '2OO dolls., which makes an ag-
gregate of 20.000,000 dolls. It will cost an average
of at least 300 dolls. per annum for each to live.
This amounts to 30,000,000. This makes a total of
50,000,000 dolls. for the bare outfit and provisions
for one year. The 500 vessels which had arrived at
the latest date, and the 500 on the way, are worth.
on an average, about 10,000 dolls. each, which
amounts to 10,000,000 dolls. The time of each
individual we estimate to be worth, on an average
200 dolls; total, 20,000,000 dolls. Grand total of
outfit, cost of living one year, cost of vessels engaged
in the trade, and value of time one year, 80,000,000
dolls. This is a moderate calculation, as the actual
outlay and absorption of capital up to this time will
probably amount to fully 100,000,000 dolls. As an
offset to this we have thus far received about 6,000 000
dolls. in gold dust from California and the whole
Pacific coast. It will be perceived that there is still
an enormous balance against California, and that it
will be a long time, at the rate already realized.
before we shall receive even the sum expended, to say
nothing about profits. It is our impression that most

Tablet this year is to be published in Dublin. the
editor, Mr. Lucas, states that as experience of ten years
has convinc.d him that while the Irish Catholics can, if
they choose, support a Catholic journal without help

Wilson entered either with him or immediately after-
wards. Witness saw Wilson take the brandy. and
water to the door and give it to some person, and she

prisoner lived, in order that a thorough examination
might be made, not only to discover the complainant's
hat and shawl, but also to detect if she had any dele•

GAOL.—About half-past seven o'clock on the evening of
Thursday, an attempt was made by six prisoners (who
were committed for trial) to escape from custody. A
person named James Healey led the way, by scaling
the wall of the ward, which is connected with
the boundary wall at right angles. He accom-
plished this by lashing together three long brush
handles, on which he climbed. He soon suc-
ceeded in reaching the outer wall, which is only about
eight feet higher than the other ; and by means or a rope tied to the projecting spikes,descended into the
adjoining premises. Fortunately, however, Mr. Dixon's
(the gaoler) suspicions having been excited during the
day, he had ordered the turnkey to keep a close
watch upon the prisoners; and when a second party,
named Griffith, was preparing to make his descent,
the turnkey entered and gave the alarm. Mr.
Dixon immediately proceeded to the other side of the
wall, and having secured Griffith, w, nt in search of
Healey, whom he eventually found snugly siivated un-
der a flight of stairs leading from the garden to the
parapet of the town walls, resting his body on a plank
which projected from the prison wall, and sheltered
from view by the lath work. The rope, which was in
pieces of about two yards in length, must have been
thrown over the walls to the prisoners, as there was
none within their reach.—/Verth Wales Gazette.

THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS.
Yesterday forenoon the thermometer, which during
the night of Sunday had fallen to 27, rose as high a 3
48 degrees, with a bright clear sky ; but at six last
evening the mercury had again fallen to within one
degree of freezing point, and from the rapid fall of
the glass within so short a period, here seemed every
probability of the frost continuing for scene time
longer. The barometer stood at 30.61, with a rising
wind from the N N.W. The frost, which continued
during Sunday night, had the effect of freezing over
those portions of the ice in the ornamental waters of
the various royal parks which had become thawed
during the middle of the previous day, making the
whole much firmer; but, notwithstanding, the ice was
far from being safe, and boards announcing that fact
were stuck along the banks of St. James's and Hyde
parks. From the sloppy state of the streets in the
metropolis during the day pedestrians would imagine
that the frost had entirely gone; but sucn was not
the case in the suburb,,, for even at Hyde park corner
he roads and footpaths were perfectly dry, and in
many cases quite slippery from the ice upon them.
Subjoined is a list of the official returns made to Mr.
Williams, the superintendent of the Royal flunune
Society, detailing the state of the ice in the different
parks, and the number of accidents yet-terday.
THE SERPENTINE, II YDE• PA RIC—TEe. ice was
1k inches in thickness, and very dangerous
Although this fact was publicly announced by
printed bills upwards of 2,000 skaters and sliders
went upon it. No accident, however, took place
until a quarter to four in the afternoon, when two
young children fell through a hole into five feet of
water. They were saved by iceman Thomas Dixon,
just as they were going out of sight. The children
could not tell their names. [he only other acci-lent
happened to two gentlemen, who fell through into
eight feet of water, but they were got out by one of
the society's men with only a wetting.
THE ROUND POND, KENSI NGTON • GARDENS.--The
ice here was described as being an inch-and-ahalf
in thickness, and very dangerous. The number of
skaters and sliders about one thousand. About three
o'clock in the afternoon an accident happened near
the island on the north bank, by which the lives of a
highly respectable family of six persons were greatly
jeopardised. At that perid Mr. John Merriman,
surgeon, of No. 9, Kensington-square, his son
1 homas, his two eldest daughters, and two young
ladies of the name of White, relatives, were proceed
ing arm-in-arm across the ice, when it suddenly
broke, and the whole of the parties fell into eight
feet of water. At first the death of some of the
persons seemed inevitable, and before they could be
rescued, one of the Misses White went under the
ice. Icemen Deze and Cook immediately pro-
ceeded to the scene of the accident, with breaker
ladders and the sledge. After considerable trouble
the whole of the persons, with the exception of Miss
White, were extricated ; and to rescue her one of the
icemen was obliged to put his arm under water, as
far as his shoulder, when he happily succeeded in
reaching her, and pulling her out. She was, of
course, much exhausted, and had she been under the
ice much longer, she must have lost her life. The
residence of Mr. Merriman being nearer than the
Royal Humane Society's receiving house, the party
were taken there. No other accident of any import.
ance happened here.
THE LONG WATER, KENSINGTON GARDENS. --
The ice here was returned as being two inches thick,
and, although firmer than in other places, was dan-
gerous. The noblemen and gentlemen belonging to
the Skating Club mustered in strong numbers during
the day. 'There were also about 1,500 other persons
on the ice, but no accident happened.
THE REGENT'S-PARE..--ollly one portion of the
ice in this park could be pronounced as tolerably firm,
the other parts being very dangerous ; notwithstand
ing, about 10,000 persons amused themselves by
sliding and skating upon it. The only accident, how-
ever, that occurred was to a lady and gentleman, who
fell through the ice into deep water, but were soon
rescued by the icemen.
ST. JAMES'S. PARK.—The surface of the ice in the
ornamental water of this park having become ice-set
during the night, induced an immense number of
persons to venture upon it. About eleven o'clock the
ice was literally crowded, when it indicated symptoms
of breaking in. The Royal Humane Society's men at
once ordered the people off, which prevented many
An accident from taking place. It was ascertained
that M. Soyer, who became immersed the previous
hi s
day, was, although out of danger, obliged to keep
bed.

ORONER'S VERDICT AGAINST DOCTOR
WEBSTER.
(From the Boston Atlas, Dec. 13.)
Yesterday afternoon, a few minutes before six
o'clock, the room in the Court House, occupied by
the jury of inquest, summoned by Coroner Pratt, in
the Parkman case, was thrown open, and the reporters
of the various papers admitted. Coroner Pratt s'ated
that in accordance with the opinion expressed by the
Attorney-General of the Commonwealth, Mr. Clifford,
and by a vote of the jury, in which vote Le concurred,
the evidence before the inquest would be kept secret
from every body until laid before the grand jury. He
remarked that the inquest had been in session ten
days, and had examined a large number of witnesses,
and that their evidence occupied over eighty large
foolscap pages of writing paper. He then said that
the verdict which had been agreed upon would be
made public, and accordingly the secretary of the
inquest, Mr. Andrews, was directed to read the
verdict as duly recorded, which he did, and it is in
the following language:—
" SUFFOLK, ss.—An inquisition taken at the city
of Boston, within the county of Suffolk, 13th day of
December, in the year of our Lord 1849, before Jabez
Pratt, Esq , one of the coroners of said county, upon
the view of sundry parts of the body of a dead man,
viz., a thorax, kidneys, pelvis, two thighs, left leg,
and sundry bones, there lying dead, by the oaths of
Osmyn Brewster, John L. Andrews, Pearl Martin,
Thomas Restieux, Lewis Jones, and Harm Merrill,
good and lawful men, who being charged and sworn
to inquire for the commonwealth, when, how, and by
what means the said dead man came to his death,
upon their oaths do say—that they all have been
demonstrated to be parts of one and the same person
—that these parts of the human frame have been
identified and proved to he the remains and parts
of the dead body and limbs of Dr. George Park-
man, late a citizen of said Boston, aged about
sixty years—that he came to his death by violence,
at said Boston, on the 23d day of November
last, or between the hours of one and a half of the
clock, in the afternoon of that day (about which
time he entered alive and in good health, into the
Massachusets Medical College building, situate in
North Grove street, in said Boston), and the hour of
rour of the clock in the afternoon of the 30th day of
November last (when a portion of the said remains
were concealed in and under the apartments of Dr.
John W. Webster, of Cambridge, in the county of
Middlesex, in said college building), in which build-
ing the residue of said remains were afterwards dis-
covered ; that he was killed in said college building
by a blow or blows, wound or wounds, inflicted upon
him with some instrument or weapon to the jurors
unknown, and by :means not yet known to said
jurors, and that said blow or blows, wound or wounds,
were inflicted upon him, and said means were used
by the hands of said Dr. John W. Webster, by whom
he was killed. In witness whereof the said coroner
and jurors to this inquisition have set their hand and
seals the day and year above said.
" Jabez Pratt, coroner ; Osmyn Brewster,
foreman ; John L. Andrews, secretary ;
Pearl Martin, Thomas Restieux, Lewis
Jones, Harum Merrill."
(From the Boston Transcript, Dec. 14.)
The verdict of the coroner, pronouncing Professor
Webster guilty of the murder of Dr. Parkman, does
not seem to have occasioned much surprise. For
some days the public mind has been prepared for such
a result, in consequence of developments, to which
we have already alluded, tending to show that the
murder was premeditated. The coroner's jury have
spoken their convictions freely and fully, without
bias, we believe, from any opinion outside the
room, where their protracted and careful inquiry
was conducted. It now remains to extend to
the prisoner a fair trial before the high legal tri
bunal of the state. And we trust that the agitation
which has existed upon this melancholy subject may
be stilled during the interval. IVe learn that Pro-
fessor Webster's appearance to day is precisely the
same which it has been of late--that although he has
read time finding of the coroner's inquest, it has not
disturbed him in the least, and he remains perfectly
calm and self possessed. He is in good health and
apparently quite contented in his situation, and satis-
fied with the treatment which he receives from the
officers of the gaol. It has been reported that his cell
was better furnished, and his fare more sumptuous
than other prisoners. We are informed that his
accommodations are only improved by the allowance
of some footmats; but it is true that his food is
furnished by his friends from Parker's restaurant in
Court-square. Professor Webster's time is
employed in reading and epistolary correspo wholly
ndence'
with his friends.
