IMPORTANT FROM CALIFORNIA.

BY an arrival from the Pacific ocean, we received
last night our letters from Upper California from the
25th Of April to the lst OF July, inclusive. We
condense the following summary from half dozen
Interesting letters. The inhabitants were generally
in favor Of the United States retaining possession oi
the country; marriages were becoming frequent
new mines were being discovered, and the busy
hum of American industry is waking up the indo'
lent sayages on the shores ofthe great Pacific.
Amer several dry winters, they have now had q
rainy season, and prospect Of a good harvest on
the plantations. The natives seem to look for an
nexaton, though they are somewhat Indifferent
about t. The main plan suggested, among others,
Is by fair sale and honorable transfer Of rulers
One tenth Of the residents are now foreigners, which
10 thought will be increased by another tenth this
September, and the same number in ls47,
Near the town Of Angels, is large sandy plain
at the feet Of some mountains, in which they have
discovered quantities Of gold. A common laborer
can gather to the amount Of 50 per day. The plan
Of getting the ore IL 10 wash the sand in fiat bas-
ket. They have Instituted ounce currencies OF the
metal. Mines Of coal, btuminous pitch and pew
ter have been found. At Sonora, on the bay Of San
Francisco, quicksilver mine has been opened by y
New Yorker and another bya person Of Massa-
chuse,ts. Both are in successful operation.
