Anti Ministerialists -


A letter recently received from gentleman
residing at Oregon City represents that the
gold mines in the southern portion of the Ter
ritory Of Oregon keep the prices Of everything
up to those of California. The milers were,
at the date Of the letter, offering 81 per bushel
for wheat; and for flour the price was SIG per
barrel, for oats 81 rs per bushel, for hams
81 cents per pound. Labor Of all kinds was
high and scarce, and the deputy surveyors were
paying from $40 to 500 per month for each
man they employed. Goods, the letter says,
are higher in Oregon than in California, as
most Of the merchants in the first mentioned
Territory get their supplies in the latter; and
the cost of living in the Atlantic States, it is
thought, is only about one-third of what it is in
Oregon and California

Itis the intention Of Mr.. Webster to return to

Thursday on his way thi,hcr. On his return to
the seat OF Government, we may look for reliable
information as to the difficulties which now ope.

Loss Of THE RsvEsus CUTTER TANEy-The
United States revenue cutter fancy, Captain Mar.
tin, was struck by squal Mt O'Clock yesterday
Cruesday) afternoon. about mile and half below
Governors Island. thrown on her beam ends, and
sunk. The captain reports that, about o'clock,
after having proceeded mile below Governors
Island with very light air, the vessel was struck
by white squall, which seemed to fall aboard
almost vertically, causing her to capsize and fill
in an instant. So limited were the extent and
duration of the squall that pilot boats and other
vessels in various directions within one hundred
and fifty yards Of the spot were becalmcd at the
time, and Immediately afterward scarcely more
than breath Of air could be perceived Captain
Martin also states that it was so sudden that no.
ripple was observed to indicate its approach From
this circumstance he ia convinced that it did not
strike in horizontal direction. and as proof Of
its great force, the vessel when knocked down,
was simultaneously submerged.
Five men were downcd. Their names were az
follows: Thomas jackson, quartermaster; James
F. Stiff, do; Thomas Doran, seaman; Henry Nc.
Grcgor, boy; James McGlue, do.
One man named James Hoyt is missed by the

Judgment OF the south.

The agony of our Democratic contempora-
ries is rendered perfectly Ineligible by the
daily receipt of southern opinions in reference
to the recent PIERCE developments. The
hard words of editors committed irretrievabIy
to the PIERCE cause. and the unsatisfactory
generalitles of their Congressional correspond
ents, do not blind the South to the force of the
case as it now stands, or to the importance of
the questions that are involved. We could
fill column with single days arrivals, of a
character Identical with the following, which
We derive from the Montgomery alabama
journal of the I'd instant:
"GEN. PIERcE's FREEsoIL SPEEcHEs.-Grent
efforts have been made by the Union and the
Pierce to break the force Of the fatal effect of
the exposure Of his abolition sentiments, as re-
ported and published at the time, six months ago,
in two New Hampshire Democratic papers.
''As we stated some days since, the Union pub.
fishes letters from two individuals in New Hamp.
shire, who deny that General Pierce used any such
language. This, very strangely. many of Gen
eral Pierce's southern friends, and some of them
those who swore so Justify last year that they would
neve- vote for Compromise man, or remain in
the Union with l. y, 'ofess to think conclusive
ana satisfactory. The people require something
moro than the negative recollection of two indi-
vidulls of what was said months since against
the moral and positive evidence of the reports
made at the time. In the language of the South
ern Press, such declarations will avail nothing for
the reason that any mans recollection of speech
made SO long before must be taken with many
grains of allowance Every effort will of course
be made to clear the skirts Of General Pierce of
these sentiments, his fs fated in the South
otherwise; but it will be useless with such evil
dence."

The British Elections.

More detailed accounts Of the British cleo
tons, brought by the Niagara, warrant the
opinion that the telegraph was somewhat basly
in intimating the parliamentary triumph" of
Lord DERBY. The despatch published yester-
day named 325 as the number of the Ministe-
rialists, and 272 as the number of the Liberals,
returned; showing working majority Of SO on
the side of the tory ministry. A more precise
statement gives different result, thus:
Tories (ministerialists). ................... 1856
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 272
Liberal vatives.................... 40
The"Liberal Conservatives hold the balance
OF power, and the telegrapbic error consisted
in CHASING them with the Miniserialists, when
IN truth they may with much more proprety
be added to the. Liberals" proper. The dis
tinctive test of the Mnisterialists is their ad
heson to the principle Of protection to British
agriculture, while the "Liberal Conservatives, ;"
representing the views Of the late Sir r. PEEL,
are free traders, and will vote with the Wings
and Wing radicals in defeating the efforts of
Lord DERBY to subvert the present commercial
policy Of the country. The existence of the
Derby ministry turns upon this question, and
with the returns before US the numbers upon i,
would be-

These, however, are not final figures. The
House of Commons numbers upwards of $50
members, so that the above leaves between SO
and 90 yet to be heard from. As the ma
jority Of these are from the counties where
the protectionist interest is strongest, the
result may be more favorable to Lord DER
BY than that now communicated. But with
with the most favorable result imaginable, it
can scarcely rise to a "triumph."
