BREAD AND GoLp. The gold harvest of Cafor-
MIA yiclds perhaps fifty millions of dollars per an
mum, or after that rate The wheat harvest Of Ohio
for 1850 is set down, zee, Mt thirty millions OF
bushels, quantity sufficient TO supply the entire
population Of the State and leave surplus of egh-
teen millions OF bushels, worth at least thirteen
millions of dollars. The State contains in round
numbers two millions of people, and the corn crop
of 1850 is estimated at hundred bushels 20 every
inhabitant or two hundred millions of bushels in
all Twenty five millions of dollars is under
estimate OF the value of the surplus Of wheat and
corn alone, raised in Ohio during the past year.
And this ia probably not fourth OF what could be
raised. even upon the land now under cultivation in
Ohio, under more improved system of agricul-
ture. If we take the entire farm products of the
State and contrast them with the California gold
yield, the latter sinks into total insigncance. The
richest placcrs of the Sacramento and the San Joa
quin are barren lands in comparison with the tecm-
ing soil OF the valley of the Ohio and long after the

The New York Tribune publishes some additional
items Of intelligence from Mexico. On the 23d Of
December the minister of finance rcmitted to the
collectors of tho port the following instructions:
From the lst January, 1851, the custom houses
will divide into three parts the duties collected in
the respective ports from that date.

which must be continued without variation until

bills drawn by the treasury for the wants OF the

The funds destined for the English bondaoders
must be deposited in the custom houses, and be re-
mitted by steamers, vessels of war, or merchant
men that may leave for England, consignIng the
same to the financial agent of the republic in Lon

the remittanees be made in due tiAe, sending
monthly to the said agent to the minister of finance,
and to the direction of public debt. an account OF
the same.

E,ight in he Indiana Convention,


INpIANAPoLIs Jan. 24.--This afternoon a scene
occurred in the Indiana State Convention not over
creditable that body. The question was in rela-
ton to the appointing of three commissioners to re-
wise and modify the laws and reform the mode Of
practice. Many hard things were said against the
gate from Posey, who is lawyer said he could put
his finger on three men in the convention who ex
pected to be appointed the commissioners. Some
one called out, "name them," and member sitting
near MIR. Hovcy called out, "Kent.' Mr. Kent then
rosc, and, much excited, called Mr.. Hovey COW
ard. Mr.. Hovey advanced to Mr.. Kent's scat and
struck him blow in the eye Both parties were
ordered into custody, and long explanation took
place amid great excitement. Apologies were made,
and by vote of the convention, the reporters
directed to smother the whole affair.

Adding now to this sum nine or ten millions of
dollars for the six ak and half millions that,
according to certain data, are left uncoined, and
which, in virtue of permission, or fraudulently,
are exported, the result ia the whole amount ex-
| trnctod, during the period above cited, exceeds
| S3S, 100000.
QUIcRsrLvER.-Fro the information given by
the committee appointed in 1874, by the "board
for encouraging mining operations" 1t appears
there existed at that time twenty five mines OF this
metal in the States of Queretaro, Guerrero Guiana
luata, San Luis Potos; Zacatecas, and Jaiisco 10
which there must be added others which have been
since discovered
| The annual product Of all those that now
worked is estimated at from 1000 TO $500 quinas,
| a quantity very much below that needed for the
mining operations of this country, the annual con-
sumption of which now amounts TO $4,000 quintals.
The richest of these mines OF quicksilver is that OF
Guadacazar, in the State of San Luis Potosi, which
produces more than /, 200 quintals year.
CoPPER. Notwithstanding there exists not few
mines OF this metal in the republic, the abundance
of thosco gold and silver s the cause OF there being
found few SPECTATORS TO undertake the working OF
them,
OF those that have been worked up to the present
time, the best result has been from those OF Chihua
hup, now abandoned on account OF the frequent m
vasions of the Indians Those OF Santa Clara, in
the State of Michoacau those OF hlazapil, in Laca-
tecas; and that of Zumlahuscan, in the Stale OF
Vera Cruz. The richest of these mines In the pre-
sent day those of Mazapil, which produce from
1000 to 5000 quintals year.
IRoN.--Thc principal veins OF tins metal discov-
cred up to the present time arc 10 be found IN the
States OF Mexico, Guerrero, hiichoacan, Durango,
Jalisco, Oaxaoa, Puebla, and in the Territory OF
Teaxcala. For its extraction there arc several
tounderics established, as that OF san Rafael and
Mirslorcs, near Texcoco and Chaleo; that Of
Guadaloupc, close by Zacualpam; that OF Santa
Maria, two leagues from Atotonilco, and also
rious others in other points OF the republic

narrative forwarded to the board of underwriters

The American arrested on the Panama road, on
suspicion Of being implicated in the robbery, had
proved himself innocent and was discharged. The
day after the letter despatched here closed, two
more of the robbers arrested. They were both
Chilians, one white and the other of Indian blood
The latter confessed that they were two of the
band. They said that the negro, of whose capture
we have already had the account, was their cap
tain, and that there were ten i'll the band, which
comprised only Chilians and Peruvians no Ameri-

subsequently, made, man who had been wounded

large and very respectable, and the interchange of
congratulations very general and pleasant. The

advantage. General Cass was obliged to content
| himself with position humble and remote that
| we do not think he either heard or saw what was
passing; and other distinguished persons who
were present Jared no better. The ladies would
have been unseen and unseeing had not few of
them very properly stood upon the chains near the
! wall

could be obtained, and the thanks Of all are due
our worthy mayor for politely profering this; but
the truth is, none of our public rooms rightly

they are designed An amphithoatre is the proper
form for court-rooms, council rooms, &c. If they
