From UPPER CALIFoRNIA-Letters from Mon
terey via Jamaica, have been received down to the
Goth of April at which time all was quiet, and the
people as cOntented as though no other than the
United States Government had ever been known.
Col Mason continued TO administer the Govern
ment as acceptably as ever. The squadron remain
ed at Mazatlan with no prospect of immediate de-
parture. A correspondent Of the Journal Of Com
merce says =
The rains which are now over, have been abun-
dant-and we shall have plentiful harvest. The
large emigration which is expected. will find pro-
Visions cheap. We have here many emgrants from
the States They go TO Oregon first, butbring up
here. This is a much finer climate | doubt if
there IS climate in the world that can rival it in
equabllity, sOftness and salubrty
II IS Holy Week here, and all the grCg-shOps and
places OF amusement have been closed till Satur-
day. This is old castom, and not a bad one
especially so far as the liquor is concerned. 1t were
better IN this particular, if Holy Week continued
the year round. Whatever the whites NAV do no
one Is permitted to sell liquor to an Indian. The
penalty is one hundred dollars and SIX months i'm
prsonment. Ii Is saluiarY law, and productive of
immense good to the abOrigiues
like many traits in the CalifOrnians they are
the most respectful and polite people in the world
lhey are but little read-but are now sending their
children 10 our schools, The rising generation will
have more intelligence, but not more true amiabi-
" than their parents. They have ten times as
much respect for law a. our emigrants. and are
quite as honest in their dealings. The women. in
habits Of industry, surpass the men. Californian
woman would live and flourish where one Of our
females would desDOnd and starve.
Many valuable mineral deposits have been dis
covered at San Jose de Guadalupe, IN the Northern
part of Upper California. Quicksilver, silver and
zinc, appear to be the most abundant.
The quicksilver ore yields, upon an average,
about fourteen per cent; silver about fifty per cent
and zinc about eighty per cent As to god, is said
that several mines containing precious metal exist
IN these parts have seen none extracted.
HrNGARY-In the Banest, on the lower Theisse,
the llyrians and Races made an attack upon the
EIungarans and Germans, at the instigation, ii
is said, Of the Archduke of Carlowtz In the small
town Of kirkinda there was great comInotion
amongst the Raician part Of the population. They
demanded of the Senate the immediate partition of
the sOcalled UeberIandsfeider, drove off squad
ron of hussars lying in the town, stormed the town
house and destroyed it with all its records and doc
1ments, and concluded by bursting open the gates
Of the prison and releasing eghty-fve criminals |
Most of the Senators took flight but two were sac
-ifced by the released criminals who had put them
