Trouble at San Francisco:

San Francisco papers received by the late
steamer report the proceedings of divers lin
dlgna'ion meetings" held in that city. to pro.
test against an order Of the Treasury Depart-
ment, against the reception of the gold coins or
tokens issued by the local assay office. All
classes appear to have participated in the ex-
clternent; and very bitter denuncations were
leveIIed at the Executive as the oriqinators
Of measure seriously obstructive to mercantile
operations. The first ebulllion of feeling over.
and 1t was discovered that the cause of annov
ance resulted altogether from Democratic &C
ton, and especially from the action of Demo
Gratis elected to watch over the interests of Cal
ifornia in Congress.
Nearly two years ago Treasury regulation
sanctioned the receipt Of coins-principalIy
fifty dollar peces-issued BY private ASSAY
office in operation at San Francisco. The
regulation was a great convenience 10 the
miners. AMI largely facilitated the operations
Of commerce by providing n coin with which
duties could be paid. The office was, in fact,

Hon. Edward Everett.

MIR. Fillmore has in no way shown his admiru
BILE Judgment more than in the selection Of his
Cabinet advisers. No man will ever forget the in
slant confidence and sense of security which the
appointment of Mr.. Webster diffused Throughout,
the whole country at very critical period. The
appointment of Mr.. Everett ia one which will give
the highest satisfaction to the Wing party and Of
which even Democrats can say no word of dispa
ragement. As profound and elegant scholar, an
accomplished dipl>matist, experienced in political
affairs, and ready, persuasive and finished ora
