Gold--Its increase and its Effect.

The Boston AtlaS (now edited by the
Hon. Charles Hudson, late naval officer
at the port Of Boslen,) gives an able arii
Gle on the increase OF gold and the effect
upon the Commerce and condition OF the
world. The editor says that since the
working of the mines in California there
has been a rapid increase of gold. Up
10 1852, it has been estimated that the
gold from California alone would amount
to $I53 100000. Fhe the total coined
at the U. S. Mints in 1859 was $52 $40.

may have been obtained from North Car.

have been recoinage OF foreign gold,

uiactures as all the coinage OF foreign
gold. added to what has been obtained
from Carolina and Georgia. We will,
however, drop the odd numbers, and SET
down the amount at $50 100000. The
quantity Of .old dust sent from California
to Great Britain and other foreign coun-
tries during the same years. must have
amounted 10 at least $l2 600 000-ma
king the product of California Tor 1859,
$64 100000. Some have estimated il
much higher. From present appearances
the quantity from California the present

ished, We will set ii down at S66 00O.
900. We will also suppose that Australia
and Siberia will yield $44 00O, 900, morei
we shall then have an annual production
of $110 100000 OF gold, over and above
the ordinary products from other parts Of
the world
OF the effect he remarks:-"On full
view of the subject, we are inclined 10 the
belief that there will be no very great de
cline in the value OF the precious metals
The causes TO which we have alluded vii

otherwise result from the vast increase =
But after making all reasonable allowance
for the increased demand, the addition 0
500 100000 to the previous metals cal
hardly tail to produce some effect upol

and silver are lawful tender in th
commercial world. and as the law fxe
their value, that value must remain; that
is to say, dollar will remain dollar,
an eagle a eagle. franc franc. and a
sovereign sovereign. But though these
coins retain the same nominal value, their
exchengeable values may be reduced b.
the rise in the price Of articles which they
will purchase. Thus. if quantity o

purchased for 500, should rise to $40,

The People of Delaware on Tuesday
voted to reject, by large majority, the
form of Constitution recently prepared
for that State by Convention elected for
that purpose. The principal objections
urged against the New Consultation are,
that the judiciary system which is propo.
sed is imperfect and that it afforded no
safeguard against illegal voting by provi-
ding tor pre-. assessment of voters. The
question upon its acceptance seems to
have been decided irrespective Of party
