Gold.


Our transatlantic brethren, who some time since
expressed the skepticsm natural to the English
character in regard to the existence of such vast
quantities of gold as the Americans professed to
have found in their newly-acquired territory of
California, have at last consented to yield reuc-
tant belief. At first they asserted that the golden
stories of the new Dorado were only the product
of Yankee exaggeration and selfglorifcation, or
else elaborate scheme to deceive the world as to
the costliness of the Mexican war, by loud boast
ngs of the amount of treasure which the war so
Unexpectedly threw into our hands. The London
Times, however, has endorsed the California stories,
and where the Times points the nation must OF
course follow. The transition from the extreme OF
skepticism TO the utmost latitude of credulity is
easy and natural, and our English cousins have
given an additional evidence of the truth of the
assertion The latest accounts from across the
wafer state that the inhabitants Of the British Isle
have been so violently attacked by the California
fever, that kind of derium has supervened.
Nothing is heard of on Change but gold, gold,
gold Companies are being rapidly formed to pro-
coed TO Ell Dorado vessels innumerable are
chartered for the same attractive place-and, in
fact, if we may believe newspaper accounts, the
days of the South Sea bubble have returned, and
the Of that period are being reenacted.
This time, however, there is some more substantial
basis for the speculation. The gold of California
will find its way into the channels of commerce
and the Golfers of the capitalists.
1t cannot be doubted that in the next few years
the number of persons proceeding to California from
all parts of the civilized world, will be unprece-
denied in the history Of the world. Rapid as has
been the increase of population in many of the
American States, they present no parallel to what
will be witnessed in California. The result Of this
must be TO throw an immense amount of gold into
circulation but whether it will be enough mate
rally to affect the present condition of commercial
affairs, can scarcely at present be determined OF
late years the quantity of the precious metals used
as circulating medium has rather diminished than
increased, while the greater facilities Of CONNER
products of industry, have caused, within the last
thirty years, corresponding decrease in prices II
would take vast amount of gold TO swell the
amount of coin in circulation to quantity suffi-
cient TO raise prices to their former standard But
we think even this effect will not be produced.
Each year sees the industry of the world, and its
consequent wealth, immensely augmented, and the
present relative value of the precious metals with
that of other commodities Viewing the subject in
this light, we do not apprehend the great danger
feared by some as the result of the discovery of the
mines of the Sacramento. One thing, we think is
certain, we will never starve from an abundance
of gold

New BELLE KEY-NeD Steamer-Ths fine
boat is now at our Levee. The Louisville Demo-
crat says that "she has one of the largest and most
sumptuous cabins for passengers on the river.
Everything is in the neatest, and at the same time
most comfortable style, and the whole appearance
of the boat is that of perfect beauty. The furn-
lure of the ladies' cabin is very beautiful All the
state rooms in the ladies' cabin are unusually large,
and are perfect boudoirs. The carpets, curtains,
ETC., in the main cabin in the very best taste.
She is in charge of p. A. Key, with Mr.. Sinton as
chief clerk, both efficient and experienced officers.
The Belle has faultess model, and possesses great
power, and during the present season we may hear
of some tall running Her dimensions are 26S feet
long, "a feet beam, with two engines, q inch
cylinders and 10 feet stroke.'

Francis r. Shunk-The recent
unanimous vote of the Legislature, Says the Penn
syvanian) upon the bill to pay to the widow and
family of the lamented Skunk, the balance of the
Gubernatorial salary for the current year, and the
terms in which the sense of the representatives was
expressed are well calculated to excite attention all
over the country. The testimonial thus voluntarily
rendered is in the highest degree just. 1t is the
verdict Of all parties upon the character and SER
vices of man, who, no matter how regarded,
whether as the citizen or the statesman, was
model worthy of the imitation of his countrymen.
He passed through long life without once falling
under the shadow of suspicion, and when he came
to die, he was as poor in this worlds goods as he
was rich in the virtues of the Christian and the
patriot.

The steamship Galveston which arrived yester-
day from Galveston, having left that place on the
9th, has brought us dates to the 9Th inst.
The San Antonio Western Texian notices the
departure of company of six persons from that city,
for California and states that they intend going
by way of Preside, San Fernando and perhaps uid
Chihuahua Another party was getting ready to
leave about the first of February. They will pro-
coed to a point lower down on the Rio Grande,
thence by way of Monclova, etc. A company will
leave Galveston in a day or two, with the same
destination.

-Emancpation-Th meeting at the
Courthouse last evening, (says the Louisville Dem
ocrat of the 3D. in favor Of emancipation, quite
large. How many attended for the sake of the
cause, and how many attended for the novelty of
the thing, we can not say. The meeting was Or
ganized by appointing Mr. Worsley Chairman, and
Reuben Dawson Secretary. Mr.. Thomas S. Smith
and Mr. Thomasson addressed the meeting. Bland
Ballard Esq, on behalf of committee, made a
report. The Rev. w. L. Breckenridge was called
for and read some resolutions of his own, as a sub
stitute for the resolutions of the committee. The
main point he insisted was, that the resolutions
of the committee contained too much. He wanted
the single point, emancipation, and nothing else
The Rev. Mr.. Humphrey, Mr.. Speed and Mr.. Jacob
Wetter followed. We do not know how the sub
ject was finally disposed of, as we left, but most
likely the whole was referred to a subsequent
meeting

NORTH CAROLINA LEGIsLATURE.-At the ad-
journment of the Legislature of North Carolina,
Mr.. Graves, Speaker of the Senate, resigned his
seat, and Col. Joyner was unanimously elected to
fill that office. 1t will be recolleced by read
ers, that the two parties being equally divided in
that body, it was several days before the Senate
could be organized for busness-that Mr.. Graves,
the democratic candidate, was finally elected-and
now at the end of the session, he resigns and his
wing opponent, Col Joyner, is unanimously elected
to fill his place. 1t would seem that this done
in consequence of an understanding at the time OF
Mr.. G.'s election. The Speaker of the Senate is

public. All that has been announced in the bills
has generally been done ample justice to; and the
support Mr.. ii. P. Grattan, the stage manager, re-
ceived on the night announced for his benefit, must
have been as gratifying to him as to the manage
ment We are glad to see that SO far the laudable
efforts of the management have been so well re-
Quilted; but we sorry that we cannot extend
our praise to every person who has been engaged
at the Theatre. One, (Mr. Booth,) we regret to
say, was the occasion of disappointing the public,
by being unable to appear last night, when he had
been announced 10 represent the character of
Richard the Third. We can excuse much in Mr..
Booth-more than would be endured from most of
his professionalism events like the one we have

himself, the management, and the public, to enter
our humble protest against the repetition of an Of

taton, but those by whom he has been engaged.
