NJ The Editor of the Kingston
Canada WesD Wing thus writes
about New York:
New York busy and New York in
repose are two differenet cities
quite. | have now been three days
here, and begin TO look about me.
Such a city-such a scene OF busi-
ness and pleasure-such scene OF
confusion, roguery, turmoil, and fun
never was witnessed, and never can
be equaled. Paris may be like New
York, but London is fool to it,
Such wealth, such industry, such ex-
travagance, and such economy can
not be imagined-they must be
seen TO be appreciated. This is the
sixth visit | have made to New
York, and though have ever been
an o6servant man, still it is only now
that begin to feel that | know the
place.

California Gold.

1t is a pretty general opinion that
the vast amount of gold brought from
California is rapidly enriching the
country. A new idea on this subject,
may be gathered from the following
extract from the Washington CORES.
pondcnce of the Pittsburg Gazette:
"Thc receipts ofgold from Califor-
MIA since July LIST. 1851, have been a.
bout s27, 900, 900, and the exports Of
the precious metals have been AT the
rate of S60,000,00O for the current
iiscaly year. 1tislikely, therefore, that
the deficit will be at least 100000.
In the mean time the importations
from Europe are heavier than ever,
and there is fair prospect of a bal
ance of $50, 100000 against us for the
year." I

Steamer Thomas P. Ray.

? Our citizens were gratilicd by the
appearance at our wharf, on Monday
morning last, ofthe new and beautiful
light draught steamer THOMAS I. RAY.
This craft was built at Brownsville,
expressly for tho upper trade, and
named in honor of one of the most en-
tcrprising citizens cvcrknown in Nor
gantown. 1t is well adapted to the
conveyance of passengers, having am
ple. neat and comfortable bcrths, and
neatly furnished cabins. As q freight
boat it is not surpassed on the trade,
is of about one hundred tons burden,
of ample power, the engines and ma
chincry entirely new; and is neatly
finished and furnished throughout.
Capt. A. B. GAsKrLL has the com
mand, with an efficient crew; and thus
far the boat has moved with n celebrity
and promptness that, if persevere1 in,
will make it general favoritc.
1t is in contemplation by the com
pany TO give US morning and evening
boat to Brownsville, whenever there
is sufficient water; the Thos. p. Ray
and r. H. Lindsey to make alternate
trips. Ifthis arrangement be effected
the citizens of tho valley of the Monon.
gahela will enjoy facilities of trade
and travel Of no ordinary value.
