TIE GOLD FROM CALIFORNIA. The New York
Tribune of Thursday week last says: ." The passen-
gers by the Prometheus report that the Oregon, fol-
Panama, had 81 800 900, on her freight list. The
aggregate by the three boats, including the amount
in passengers hands, is probably over two and hall
millions. The reception Of such an amount must
strengthen the improved feeling in Wall street. if the
shipments the next week are not beyond what are
anticipated. The accounts from California in regard
the produce of gold very favorable, and there
appears no reason to doubt that during the remainder
of the year we shall receive an unexampled amount
Of gold.''
