II is estimated that during the year 1850, the to-
tai wealth sent from the United State TO Califor.
mia, will amount to the enormous sum $75 600.
The New York Globe says that this fact is calcu-
lated to starie at first glance, bur adds that when
eve come to reflect upon the amount and ctIarac-
ter Of the European emigration to these shores, we
think our apprehensons Of any series embarrass-
ment from the emigration to California may cease.
The emigration from Europe TO the United States,
last year, was we believe, over 100000 But ii
we estimate it at only $4,000 for the current year,
we shall be far within the mark. Now, the char
acter of this European emigration has much inn
proved of late years A very large proportion of
it consists of farmers and others, in circumstances
comparatively affluent. More than half bring with
them probably 500 pounds sterling. and fourth,
at least, of the number may be fairly estimated TO
bring with them $4,000 each, and not few from
four to five times that amount. But, II only bali
the emigrants from Europe average each $50
pounds sterling, it will replace the drain produced
by the emigration to California. We have no doubt
tha, the emigration from Europe to the United
States brings into the country, in money, twice the
amount which the California emigrants take from

Thirty ships in the por, of New Orleans, unem-

that the coming crop of cotton will not be equalto

millions of bales. Ships are leaving for Liver

made yesterday at seven dollars barrel, which is

Resignation of Capt. stockton.

We learn from Washington that Commodore
RICHARD F. STOCKTON has resigned his commits
sion in the United States Navy. He entered the
navy in September, 1911, and received his cap
tain's commission in 1888. Only sixteen years of
this long period has he spent in actual service
The rest of the time he has been waiting orders.
Commodore Stockton is proud and naughty mil
loDaire-so vain Of his position and influence that
no one can possibly mistake the fact 1t is whis-

for the next Presidency and this is quite possi-

The Growing Crops.

Private adyces and reports of newspapers from
the Middle and Western States, represent glow
ing prospect for an abundant harvest OF bread
siuffs. Wheat is generally IN excellent condition.
Fruit, with few exceptions. is also in promising
state. With the exception of cotton, OF which it
is, we regret to say, certain not an average crop
can be realized, the prospects of the husbandman
are quite fatering. Peace and plenty are the
greatest blessings which kwise Providence
can vouchsafe to the great human family Our
glorious country has been eminently favored, for
