God from California.-The Philadelphia Penn

been received at the United States mint, since De-

It must not, however, be supposed that all of the
above have emigrated with the view of working in
the mines Many, very many, of them, intend to
establish themselves in commercial business, at
San Francisco, Suffers Fort and such other
places as might, after their arrival in California,
offer business inducements.
The emigration from the sea-ports of the United
States has Jagged little for time, and the spirit
of enterprise seems to have been somewhat check
ed yet, we are satisfied that, the receipt of the
first of the large shipments of gold dust which are
undoubtedly on their way to us, it will revive and
become as strong ever.
In the West and Southwest, associations and
companies of emigrants are being formed, with the
intention of proceeding to California, by over
land routes through own territory. Many
thousands will soon leave those regions in this
way, and several companies have already gone

SrECULATING IN THE FINE ARTs.-A few years
since, some OF our enterprisng spectators con-
ceived the idea of turning penny by specializing
in the fine arts, and passing off as productions Of
the old masters, the sweepings and scourings of
all the studios in Europe, principally those Of
learners and beginners in the art. These they
would dispose of to our citizens, either by auction
or at private sale, at enormously enhanced prices
on the original cost. So we'll did the operation
succeed, that about dozen years SINCE cargo
after cargo Of the trash was imported, and every
parlor in the country was graced with one or mora
daubs, that the merest tyro of an American artist
would be ashamed Of But it was fashionable for
the tom in London to patronize the fine arts and to
possess productions of the old masters and our ton.
must follow their example; and if they could pro-
cure them cheap, at few dollars each, notwith-
standing they are worth as many thousands in
Europe, SO much the better. In the same wav
they followed in the wake of the European aris-
tocracy. They determined to form themselves
into exclusive cliques, and attempt to establish an
Italian Opera in this city, they to have the best
seats, for the generous sum of six York shings
per night.
Well, they desired to patronize the fine arts. and
their utmost desires in that respect were gratified
by few of our specializing citizens, who, with a
magnanimity beyond parallel, supplied them with
real Rembrants, Reynolds, Loraines, Raphaels.

THE AMERICAN DRAMATIC FUND ASSOCIATION
We have been very much gratifed in Witnessing
the highly favorable auspices under which this ex-
ceent association has commenced its career.
The object of the association is most meritorious
and the organization by means of which its bene-
violent purposes to be carried out, appears to
to be sound and judicious. From the statement
made by Mr.. Broug cham, the secretary, at the
dinner at the Astor House, it seems that the
financial condition of the institution is in q1ite
prosperous condition. considering the short period
in which it has been in existence. Tho kind and
fraternal feeling which apparently characterizes the
association, is of its most pleasing features
There are other professions that might preitaby
take lesson from the Dramatic Fund Association.
This benevolent union of the members of the
dramatic profession, besides providing the means
of relief in case of sickness or misfortune will tend
to elevate the profession itself in the eyes of the
community. 1t has been too much the fashion in
many quarters to regard the actor disreputabl,
member of society. This is by no means the rule
In general, the members of the dramatic profession
conduct themselves with the utmost responsibility
in all the walks of private life. Their vocation is
a very laborious one, and isolates them perhaps
too much from the rest of the community. This
association will make the public both acquainted
with the real character of those to whom it is in
debted for so much rational amusement, and the
player will not suffer by this closer observation
We cordially wish prosperity to this institution,
and commend it to the good wishes and friendly
aid Of all benevolent persons

therefore brings twelve days later intelligence
than that received by the Hermann at this port.
The news was Immediately expressed overland
to ST. John, N. b., and thence transmitted to Bos-

of the wires between this city and Boston, the
news was MT received here till late yesterday az

murder case now on trial in the Court Of Oyer and

prisoner, was at the time of the murder member
OF circus company in this city. On the night of
the alleged murder, Donaldson, with others, met
the deceased, McMeehan, in Leonard street; and
some difficulty occurred between them, and fight
commenced, which was ended in Meehan being
stabbed by Donaldson in the neck, with dirk
knife, of which he died in the station house, shortly
after it was inflicted

| MANUFACTURES AT THE SoUTH.-Of the many
evidences of the growing prosperity of the United
States, the advances which enterprise is making in
| the Southern States cannot DO overlooked. Until
within very short period our Southern neghbors
were satisfied to raise the raw material merely and
to sell ii to the Northern and Eastern manufactu-
rers, or to those of England, without entertaining
The thought that they themselves could manufac.
ture it. They lost sight of the fact that they pos
sessed within themselves all the facilities necessary
Tor the work. OF late, however, a change has
come over them They have awakened, as it were,
from a revere, and now proclaim that there is no
necessity for selling their cotton and paying por-
ton of their receipts to those who purchased of
them for the same article manufactured. They have
arrived at the conclusion that they can manufac-
ture il themselves, and hence we see cotton manu.
factories springing up in several of the South
| ern States.
We are pleased to see the spirit of enterprise at
work among Southern friends. We look upon
it as happy omen and we hope it will increase
and prosper until the South shall rival the North
and East in its industrial and manufacturing pro-
auctions. Thisis the only kind ofrvalry that should
exist between the different sections of our republic
They have been long enough arrayed against each
other on the subject of slavery and have permitted
themselves to be led and duped by designing polit-
clans until portion, at least, of the South ina.
CINE the North to DO their enemies. 1t is time for
this to cease. The South has it within its power to
become as prosperous in manufacturing az the
North or East, and we would rejoice to SEQ
them so.

as State, the supreme authority transferred to
the State and the subject of slavery becomes pure
ly local question. The State. then, has the
power to exclude slavery, to abolish 1t IT In exis-
tence or to introduce it if it does not exist, at Its
discretion
This is the doctrine of Mr.. Calhoun, OF the
Southern address from Congress, and OF the lead
ing politicians of the whole South
| Acting upon this constitutional assertion OF tho
rights of the States, and of the limitation of the
| mowers of Congress- Mr.. Howard, OF Georgia, has
issued his prospectus He proposes an armed Oc-
cupation of the territory by Southern company of
shareholders with their slave property. He asserts
the doctrine of equality, and proposes to introduce
the peculiar institution of the South into Califor-
MIA, and to vindcate the constitutional right to do
so, by force of arms, if necessary. The terrific
rial Legislature has no power to exclude him, as it
is subseIvient to Congress and Congress has no
right to endorse such territorial act, the power
to pass it., because that would destroy the equal
privileges of the States in a territory which Is the
common property of the Union. What then? If
Mr. Howard introduces his five hundred men, with
their two or three thousand slaves, into California,
neither Congress, nor the people of the territory
In their local legislation, touch them while
the organization of State constitution, circum-
stances may so combine to give those five hun
dred men the power to determine the question OF
slavery in their favor, and of thus securing the
balance of power in the Senate, in the addition of
another slave State to the Union.
The proposition of Mr.. Howard is therefore, po-
litical in its character, and eminenty important
Its feasibility may be doubted. If the people of
California pass an act declaring the non-existence
of slavery, and the slaves that may be carried into
the territory deem it sufficient for their liberation,
and they leave their masters, by what process of
law, or by what power of arms, can they be reco-
vercd? There are no means of reclamation.
The proposition of Mr.. Howard remains to be
acted upon. What the next Congress may do Is
uncertain. 1t is most likely that California will be
permitted to settle the question of slavery for her
self. Without an infusion of actual shareholders
the spot, the territory the State will declare
against the institution. 1t is probable too, that
the expense and hazards of the introduction of
slaves into California, will deter the execution of
the scheme suggested. We shall wait the action
of the South upon the proposition. If slaves are
introduced into California during the recess to the
next Congress, the difficulties will be increased to
the enactment of the Wilmot proviso +; and though
the State of California may declare against the in
stitution, whatever number of slaves may be intro
duced, the South will at least be consttutionally
excluded. The South will submit to be turned out;
but it must be done consttutionally. Therein lies
the whole difficulty.

THE NEWS.

ST. JoHS, N. b., TELEGRAPH OFFICE,
Wednesday, A. M.
The steamer Europa, Captain Lott, with twelve
days. later news from all parts of Europe, arrived
at Halifax at hafpast ten o'clock yesterday A. M.
Our express left Halifax at eleven o'clock and,
though the roads still very heavy, made
splendid run to Digby Gut, one hundred and forty
five miles, in nine hours and five minutes. The
express steamer was detained forty minutes in get
ting up steam-the news coming so Unexpectedly
and reached this city at three O'Clock this morning.
detention of one hour and ten minutes occurred
here before your report could gain admission to
the telegraph office and it was not till five o'clock
that the operators between here and Boston opened
their eyes, and allowed the wires to talk.
The Europa was to have left for New York at
one o'clock p NJ, and may therefore be expected
to arrive at her wharf at about six o'clock on
Thursday evening. She brought eleven passen-
gers for Halifax, and ry-three for New York
She left Liverpool on Saturday, the 9TH inst.
The America arrived at Liverpool on the morn
ing of the Sd instant, after rapid from Boston
of about nine and half days.
The Washington, from New York 10th ult
arrived at Southampton on the 9Th inst, and pro-

The Plymouth Rock, new Boston packet, has
proved herself to be remarkably fast sailer, hay
ing arrived off Cape Clear in IA days. She was

Affairs In England.

Parliament adjourned tor the Easter recess, and
met again on the 18th inst. The two main objects
which have divided its attention, have been the
navigation BILL and the rate in aid bill for Ireland,
which latter has branched out into general de
bate on the policy to be pursued toward that coun-
try. 1t will be seen that some important modifca-
tons have been made in the Navigation Bill.
The revenue returns for the financial year and
quarter, ending on the 9Th inst show continuous,
though not very great, Improvement in the Gus
toms revenue. There is an increase of 1,l60554
pounds, as compared with the previous year In the
Excise department, there is an increase of esq,
631 In all other branches of the ordinary reve-
nue there is a decrease, the most considerable
item being one Of E7l9,5Sl upon stamps. The ex-
ces of increase over decrease of the total reve-
nues of the year is ES67 ,2S9
The Navigation bill before Parliament has I'M
dergone very material change, las we reported
in the Ne,c York Herald, the arrival of the last
steamer.l The principle of retaatng upon those
nations which should not concede these advan-
tages to England which she freely accorded to
them, has been disapproved Of by Mr.. Gladstone,
who thought this reserved right would involve the
government in perpetual disputes with foreign
nations He has accordingly brought forward
new scheme, by which he proposes to divide the
law into two branches, the enc to apply to the
foreign trade, and the other to embrace the colo
NAL and coasting trade, and to make the bargain
with foreign countries conditional, upon their
granting equivalent advantages to Great Britain
Mr. Labouchere, under the plea that the difficulties
respecting carrying, duty paid tobacco, &C.,
coastwise, tor instance, would be found insupe-
| rable in practice, has Withdrawn the whole of the
clauses having reference to the coas,ng trade, and
the Navigation bill stands in much the same posi-
ton a. it did last year. as respects its actual provi-
