TRADE WITH CALIFoRNIA.-A letter from
Monterey, Upper California, under date Of
18th October, published in the New York
Herald, says:
Surprising you would Ike to see shipping
list OF this port, send you one for ten months
ending this month. By this you will see thai
the Yankees have the whole foreign trade Of
this coast. A great deal Of property ia tho
Mexican vessels belong to Americans and 9TH
ers. There are four large vessels here belong
ing to Boston, whose return cargoes IN Boston,
with value of vessels, are worth. $500, 900.
The whole value Of American property in Cali
fornia now, amounts to large sum. Bos-
ton cargo worth there $50, 600, returns home
cargo worth $4,000, although to the owner
this is not all profit. as the expense AMI inter-
est Of = three years voyage are greater that
the first cost Of cargo: yet the proht to the
industry of the United States IS 800 per cent.
AS these goods are Of home manufacture the
trade is good one to our country.
LoAreRs.-The different nations have differ
ent kinds Of loafers. The Italian loafer spends
his time in sleeping; the Turkish in dream
ing; the Spanish in praying; tho Frsnci'in
laughing the English in swearing theRus-
sian in gambling; the Hungariao in smoking;
the German ia drinking aud the American 70
talking politics. Which Of these different
kinds ofioafing is the msSi destructive e mo-
rality!

The Montreal Courier thus threatens tho
Yankees with the vengence of the Hudson's
Bay company in case they presume to NEEDLE
with Oregon:-
sit is generally believe at Washington that
the recommendation of the president for the
military occupation Of Oregon territory, and
the establishment OF civil government, will
be responded to in congress with full powers
to the government to act. In such case, We
have no doubt the H"dson's Bay company and
their Indian allies will make but a small meal
of the troops Of the " free and enlightened"
On a previous OCCASION, when party Of enter
pnsIng Yankees were SAILING up me Coium-
bia, an old Indian stood upon an eminence by

INDIAN AppETlrE.-No people SO soon get
tired of any particular diet as Indians; and
their lougings for change. even amidst the
best cheer, are often truly ridiculous. The
hexibliiy of their stomachs is no less surpri-
sing. At one time they will gorge themselves
with food, and are then prepared to 60 with
ont for several days if necessary. Enter their
tents; sit there, if you can. for single day,
and not for an instan. will you find the fire
unoccupied by persons Of all ages cooking
When no, hun,ing or travelling, they are, in
fact, always eating. Now it is little roast,
a partridge or rabbit, perhaps; now ,t.bit
brcled; anon, portly kettle well filed with
venisop, swings over the fire; then comes a
choice dish of curdled blood, followed by the
sinews and marrow bones Of deers' legs sing.
ed on the embers. And so the grand business
of life goes increasingly round, interrupted on
|y by sleep. Another physical singularity Of
the northern tribes is, that though capable Of
resisting with great for,itude. the most intense
cold, they are wonderfully fond of fire. At
an establishment, even when the weather is
mild and pleasant out Of doors, they are to be
seen heaping on fuel in the house. and actually
sitting cToss-legged on hearth where white
man would speedily be roasted.

burlesque upon popular suffrage. In several

From present appearances the struggle for

cess Of either candidate will depend upon The
vote of New York, where the election was held
on Tuesday. II is possible that Mr.. Clay may,
if be has carried Virginia, receive sufficient
number Of Electoral voies 10 elect him, without
New York-but this is very doubtful. All will
therefore look with intense anxiety for the re-
