FoREIGN NEwS.-The intelligence by
the America, in our paper of to-day,
though not exciting, will be found inter-
esting. Affairs in Europe wear partially
a new phase. The dismissal of the
French Cabinet, which was caused by a
disegi ieement between its members and
the President upon Roman affairs, looks
more lavoraby to the cause of Roman
Republication, as the President is deter
mined to adhere to the policy foreshadow-
ed in his letter, which we published some
weeks since, and this will render him pop
ular with the people Of Rome The EN-
peror of Russia, it would appear, is
frightened by the opposition Of England
and France, and has modified tho terms,
which at FIRST he was about TO impose up
on the Sultsn.-Upon the subject Of Can.
adian Annexation TO the United States, q
variety of opinion is expressed by the
English press, and the address ofthe An
nexationsts has excited considerable and
warm discussion. Some Of The liberal
papers even look upon such an event
without the expression Of any marked
dissatisfaction.

WIt is highly amusing to see our Lo'
cofoco brethren publishing, in one col
umn, a report oftbe opinion of the Court
in the Hamilton county case, wherein II
is pretty strongly minated that c'V''
action against the Clerk would he sus'
tanned by the Court; while in another
column it is edi,orially announced that
the Court has decided against the Wings
in regard to The Constitutionalily of the
Apportionmen; Law.
Now let it be RENE mbered that ihisCourt
one of the members being Locofoco'
has decided the law to be Constitutional
so far as their expressed opinions are
concerned. and it will appear evident ID
every mind that these Locofocos have
but poor opinion of the intelligence oI
their readers. The only point that is de-
cided is, that the Court will not remOv c
the Clerk for what they deem an error ol
jndgment-the strongest ground upon
which this is predicated, is not anything
concerning the manner of the passage Of
tho law, its conSlitutionality or its details;
but the precedent would be bad one, as
the Judge himself sometiines commits
errors Of the head and would not be se-
cure in his seat. Al least, he says so.

RoBBING THE GoLD BoxEs.-The re-
mittances in gold dust from California
generally come to New York IN small
bags, which are enclosed in wooden box
es, strapped with iron. These boxes, in
some instances, in the last steamer, have
been bored ,underdhe iron straps, and the
dust has been thus taken distracted Tive
instances have occurred within our know
ledge. in packages that came by the EN-
pire City. One box, containing about
$25, 900, was short 10000. Another box
belonging toa house in Baltimore, lost

The GObNcu OOWuHy' f.f.
In looking over the details of the news
brought by the late steamer, we tind moth
ing of much interest except what we have
before given To our readers. From all
we can learn from the various sources of
intelligence, very much that is written by
the letter.writers in California must be
taken with few grains of allowance.
By letters received from some of the
members Of the company, that left this
place last spring, we find that fortune
making,on large scale, is confined chief
ly TO speculators and gamblers occasion,
ally streak of luck comes to digger"
and he makes fine haul. But as a gen.
eral thing. work, and that the hardest
kind, is necessary, and many are disap-
pointed.
Yet there is chance for all that are
now in the miues and many more. BY
constant and severe trial, the goldhun'
ter will be amply rewarded and will
make money. New discoveries are dai'
y being made, and however much o.
credulity it may demand to place implic
it confidence in some of the stories, such
as Frem0nl's for instance, they cume
to us well atteSted.
The pay of the offices of the Conven
ton was fixed at from SIG to $2S per day
The members voted themselves SIG pei
day. The Constitution has not yet been
adopted. The anti-slavery clause merel,
passed, by unanimous vote, through
the Committee of the Whole, but nc
doubts are entertained of its final pas
sage. The features of the Constitution
are liberal, with few exceptions, and
these may yet be stricken out.
A greater wonder than this California
country has scarcely ever been witness
sed From an almost unbroken wilder.
ness, it has in two years received popu-
lation of over 100000. Cities and towns
have sprung up, property has increased
in value beyond any known real estate
per centum, and now the freemen Of that
region have formed for themselves a new
State, adopted very liberal Constitution
and are knocking for admission into the
Union. The request will be granted o.
course, and they will be told to come il
and take their seat beside the Sovereign
States of lhe Union.
Only few days since, two Steamer
left New York, with over 500 passen
gors, for this new country, and thousand
are preparing to follow them. Of tn,
many, who have gone and will go, man.
will return; but enough will remain t.
populate the new State and every da,
will add largely to their number. Witt
few exceptions, the tone and temper o
the laws enacted indicate a right state o
public opinion, much better than we hat
reason to hope for. aud considering will
this the immense wealth of the countr,
and other advantages, who can doub
that few years will make California on'
of the wealthiest and most thckly popu
lated States in the Union. Things ma,
change, but this is the present indication
of events.

TnE CALIFORNIA MAILs.--To show tho
great aud growing importance of this
mail, it is only necessary to mention that
the steamship Ohio, which sailed from
New York on Tuesday with the great

newspapers. A bag was also made for
the Crescent City, containing A95 letters.
The mails of the Ohio will be increased
by additions at Charleston, Savannah
and New Orleans, and will probably
leach thirty or forty thousand letters by
