Mosx LrxouMo--MoxyE DEALxRs At CoLo-
mA-We have received Iate advices from Coloma
showing not general condition Of crime and out
rage through the State, but general rousng Of
the better and the larger part Of the community Of
California to sense Of the actual necessity Of a
prompt amelioration Of our society. This is to
say the least good sign. .lf we expect to send
for our wives, parents, families 1t is GER
tainly desirable that should have at least a re-
spectacle community into which to introduce
them. The citizens Of Coloma are following 10
the footsteps Of the citizens of Pacerville, of
Sacramento, Napa, Calayaras &c, and there is
not "a sensible man in California that does an
ticipate on unt olthe general set which things
are taking now, better and less barbarous state
of affairs than we have had for the past six
months.
We learn that owing 10 some outrage committed
by French Monte dealer at Coloma, the citizens
rose en- masse, and banished all the gamblers from
the place. We are informed that they took them
by force and depos tied them few miles from the
city, warning them not to return.
lfscme of our hard working miners wo Id take
warning from the sad experience ofmany OF their
companions they would not risk, and 10 nine
cases out Of ten, lose their all.
NEwsFRom THF MiNEs.--We can give gen.
era idea Of the state of affairs in the dggings, for
the accounts from all quarters seem much alike.
In all the dry diggings where there's water, the
miners are doing pretty well. In some places
where they were roubled with too much waller,
the weld is better this winter than last. Where
the water has failed altogether, the miners have,
of course, taken to the rivers, and there the wa
ter being low, most OF them doing well, with
n great prospect before them, for there is no doubt
that the water will be lower this coming summer
than we have seen it in this country, and eve
ry practicable part Of the rivers will be damned
and it is our firm conviction that more gold will
be taken out this summer than ever before in Cal
ifornia -(Piacsr Times, Sd.
AGRICULTURAL PRosPEcTs. Throughout all the
valleys Of California, may at this time be seen the
evidence of a new era for the State in the prepar-
alton by her own citizens, for producing in abund-
ance the staple articles of supply for the entire
population now within our borders, and for all
who may come during the year.
In the Santa Clara valley, where we have re-
sided for two months, we observed thousands of
acres being broken up for cultivation; and from
the unsurpassable fertility of the soil, and the inn
porant fact that in ordinary seasons no irrigation
is required to produce the most abundant crops,
a value will be given to lands IN the agricultural
districts far greater than has ever been claimed.
With the introduction of permanent popula-
ton into our State--men Of every calling and pro-
fession, who come with their families to make
this their future home--a career of durable pros
perity will dawn upon California; and TILL this he
So revulsions and fluctuations will mark the
operations OF every department ofbusness and IN
dusry Alta California.
CALIFORNIA MARKETS.
From the San Francisco Price Current, March L.
We have little or no Improvement to note in our
market since our last. Business generally is dull,
with very little prospect Of improvement. Our
market is full of goods of almost every descrip-
ton and every mail brings accounts of large ship
ments on the way.
AsHEs-1he supply of saleratus is large, and
more than sufficient for the demand, which is very
limited. There is no demand for other classes,
with small supply.
BREAp-The great facilities for manufacturing
here the much better quality, and the cheapness
of domestic bread and crackers, will prevent the
imported article being in as much demand as for
merly
BuILprNc MArERIALs--We have no change to
note in lumber the demand is small and the stock
on hand is sufficient for n years consumption
Large preparations have been and are being made
to produce our own lumber, and our mills can
successfully compete with the imported article.
Mills are in progress Of construction for planning,
tongung and growing and preparing all kinds of
lumber suitable for building, &c. Brick are some
what more in request, as is also good cement of
which we note sales of 200 bbls at $3.50
BEANs--The demand for beans is less brisk
than at the date of our ast-uness for prime ar
tice of American, which is in slight request. We
note sales at auction of 1000 lbs. Chill at s.
CoALs-The supply largely exceeds the de-
mand and they are consequently dull.
CoFFEE--A continued dullness still continues
to pervade the coffee market and the demand is
steady for consumption only, ground brought at
auction 23c, Central American (green) l4sc.
CLornlNe-For this article there is at present
but small demand-with market overstocked
with all descriptions.
Dry Goops-Supply more than equal to the de-
mand, and are generally selling below eastern
cost.
FLouR-Has still rather downward ter dency
and with small demand for actual consumption.
GRAIN-Less activity has manifested itself for
the past week in all kinds of grain although
there is fair demand. A good sweet article of
corn for milling is in demand and would maintain
our quotations.
LiouoRs-The demand for all descriptions is
very small consequently prices show downward
tendency-small packages are the most desirable.
We notice sales of whiskey, in small packages,
at 81 so; in barrels at l,25
MoLAssEs-Dull, with a slight decline from for
mer quotations.
Oms-S,a,ionary and in small demand.
SpIcEs-Of this article the market is full, with
little or no demand
TEAs-The market is well supplied with teas,
except, perhaps, those of fine quality in 2lb can
listers which are in some demand. The full sup
ply on hand and several cargoes known to be on
the way, keep the prices at a low figure. Gun
powder has been sold at auction during the past
week at SO As; oolong'25, and Pouchong at 25
cents.
ToBAcco-TEe tobacco market is at a stand,
and has probably reached its highest point. For
small packages of "Grape" brand Of fine quality,
Il ere is more inquiry, and we note sales at our
quotations. -,
WrSEs-The demand for wines is quite small
and. if possible, less than at our last dates There
is, however, some inquiry for good, particular
port. Few sales have been made at auction but
at ruinous prices.
"EngIish Undefled."
"The English language in its purity is spoken
nowhere out of London," say some ofthe impor-
tations to this rude land where "American" is
spoken.
