weld of gold as very large, and predict that the
sbipments in March will be six and half to seven
millions Of dollars. One very remarkable and
important feature we hear of from several sources
by this arrival. The beds of streams which were
worked out and entirely abandoned during the first
year or two after the discovery ofgold in that
country, are now being worked over again with
equal and in some cases, greater success thar

QUALIFICATION OF THE VICE PREsIDENT.-A
letter from Matanzas, published in the New Or
leans Picayune, gives an account of the swearing
in of the Vice President of the United States,
Hon. William R King, on the 4th inst, at La
Cum6re, about three miles from Matanzas. The
writer says:
.The oath was administered by Consul Rod
ney to the Vice President, who was ready and
waiting our arrival. The volante was brought up
to the door and Mr.. King stepped into it, in order
to ride into Matanzas before the sun should be
too high to make it pleasant. The whole caval-
cade, consisting of some twelve or fifteen Ameri-
can gentlemen, Immediately mounting and form
ing an escort around the carriage, accompanied
the Vice President to town.
Mr., King left Matanzas on the same day for the
estate of Mr. Chartrain, in the partido of Lmonar,
about eighteen miles from Matanzas. His health
is very poor, and no one accustomed to see pa
tients with pulmonary disease in this climate but
knows he cannot survive very long He may live
for months in this mild climate, but he can never
be better The old statesman views his coming
fate with calmness, as one who has fought the
good fight, and will lay hold of eternal lfe."

Mn. FoRNEy AND THE CLERKsHIP OF THE
House OF REPREsENTATIvEs-We see it stated
in some Of the correspondence Of the news.
papers, that the President has declared himself
to be in favor of the election of Mr.. Forney as
the Clerk ofthe House of Representatives, at the
next meeting Of Congress. We do not think it
is by any means complimentary to the moral
sensbilities Of the President, to make such an
imputation on his good name and character.
Mr. Forney may be considerable politician.
an able man, favorite of his friends, and all
that but the position in which he was placed
before the public by the revelations in the For
rest divorce case, renders it utterly impossible
to think that the House Of Representatives CO
elect such man to an Office of profit and trust,
without involving an entire abandonment OF
their own reputation for honesty and right
minded sentiments. We have not the highest
opinion of most Of the members Of the last
House of Representatives but the present is a
new one, and therefore on its good behavior,
and we will not inpute to it anything dis
honorable in its conduct until il has revealed
such dishonor by its own action. 1t is equally
as bad in any person protesting to be friend
to the President to make such an imputation
on bis character as Ii contained in the represen-
iations in question Amy man who could de-
lberately sit down ard Try to persuade another
individual to get up improper evidence for the
purpose Of crushing woman, is utterly unfit to
be elected to any Office, or to associate with
any respectable member Of society. We hope
and trust that the President Of the United
States is a man of a different moral calibre to
that which the representations put forth by bis
friends would indicate.

LIFE IN THE FASHIONABLE HOTELS.--Existence
in some Of the very fashionable hotels of this
city, such as the Metropolitan, the st. Nicholas
and the New York Hotel, is made up Of Dress
gaiety, excitement, dinners. conuerzationes, ex-
travagances and amusement of the most refined,
fascinating and expensive sort. Change of sea
son brings no change OF style but from the begin
ming till the end Of the year there reigns in I'M
dim nished splendor the same fashionable sys-
tenn, with now and then some variations, to give
it greater zest and piquancy. Iu fact life at
fashionable hotels in this city is but an improved
edition Of the same sort of existence in Sara
toga during the watering season. 1t is one con-
tinued round Of pleasure, feasting, fascination,
and excitement to the guests, and Of joy and
profit to the wealthy, polite, smiling, and at
tentive hosts.
In those palaces Of the people there are two
systems Of enjoying dinner One is for the accom-
mediation of the business and travelling portion
of the guests, who can dine as suits their own
convenience, at one, two, three, or four o'clock
in the afternoon. The other is specially devoted
to the wealthy, fashionable, and sans souci
portion, who appear at table at five
o'clock, the gentlemen in full dress, and
the ladies bedecked in their most superior, grace
full, and seductive style. This meal is one where
the EXTREMIST ceremony and punctilousness are
observed, where an army of walters generally
black, with white Gloves move at the tinkle
Of q silver bell, with as much order, regu-
larity, and decorum as characterize funkes in
the presence Of royalty-where the sparkling
champagne, the exquisite hock,-and the bright
sherry is imbibed by every person at table
where conversation is quietly carried on over
the dessert, and where the sitting continues
from two to three hours. 1t is needless to say
that this is the grand reunion of the day, and
that the lady guests almost invariably reserve
themselves for its enjoyment. After dinner the
guests amuse themselves in a variety of ways
some go to the opera or the theatres; some
saunter for a while up and down the magnificent
corridors; some loiter in various attitudes about
the splendidly furnished parlors, and some di-
vide themselves into coeries, where they discuss
all sorts Of musical, literary, artistic and other
topics. Generally, one evening in the week is
dedicated besides to the pleasures Of la danse;
and thus, between the ball, the soirfe, the con
sersasionc, the opera, the table, and the boudoir
day 10, weeks. and months slip past in a whirl
voluptuous enjoyment Verify New York is
great city, and life in our fashionable hotels is
among its most pleasant phases.
