Produce ETC, AT SAN FRASoTsco.-A letter in
the New York Journal of Commerce, dated No.
vember LIST, says
Few of your readers will be prepared to believe
that some of our commission houses are each hold
ing from eight hundred thousand dollars up to
twelve hundred thousand dollars Of goods belong
ing to shippers in Atlantic Cties, upon which
freights have been paid here to the extent of 60
cents per foot the average; to say, freights
million a month paid to ship-owners on the Allan
tic by California merchants.
There are warehouses in this city where flour for
instance, is piled up u tiers high whisky in bar
rels 7 tiers high, and other goods in proportion
There are storeheepers here who are now in the
monthly receipt ION goods held by them) Of six
thousand dollars per month storageI This from
individual firms alone; and IN the to which l
refer, now in my minds eye is chiefly on the pro-
ducts from Chii-such as -four, barley, beans, and
the like; mostly barley, which is not, at present
prices of ISa2t per pound, worth cost and charges
A great many stores and warehouses rent for
twenty-five to fifty thousand dollars per annum;
rent invariably paid monthly in advance.
Storage on large parcels of goods IS now taken
by those extensively engaged in the business, at
the rate of one dollar and fifty cents per ton first
month (which includes labor, receiving, and deliver
lug and one dollar per month storage thereafter.
When goods are taken direct from ship TO store, the
charge is invariably three dollars and quarter per
ton. which includes one months storage and labor
carriage, and wharfage.
The Pacific NJ S. S. company are issuing through
tickets to New York for S75 in the steerage-S250
in the cabin These prices include the crossing Of
the IstlmaS.

A FAST MAN.-The Washington Star gives the
following running biographical sketch of one of the
speakers at the late jubilee in the city of New York
to celebrate the result in that Statehat result be-
ing the triumph Of Seward whigism, and the jubi-
lants being national Democrats" The Star, re-
ferring to the speaker, says:
"Among them, we find rampant effort from the
lips of Mr. Charles w. Carrigan, of Philadelphia
whose career affords fair illustration of the truth of
what we have repeatedly written concerning the
ani7uS actuating those very dsinterested patriots
who. claiming to be better Democrats than the ad-
minstration, are really very busy in the work of
satisfying the world that they themselves mere
ly fighting for plumber. Mr.. Carrigan, on the ac-
cesson of President Pierce, applied for the post of
territorial secretary of Minnesota. Failing in that
application, he at once applied for a special mail
agency. Not obtaining that he next applied for a
clerkship in the Office of the navy agent at Phladel
phia Being defeated in that application also, he
then became candidate for the Democratic nomI-
nation for State Senator for the county of Phiadel
phia, and was Overwhelmingly defeated by the pop
ular vote in making that nomination, the candidate
being nominated by opening poll for the recep-
ton of the ballots of all the Democratic voters OF
the district Still later Mr.. Carrigan became Dem
ocratc candidate for district commissioner OF his
ward, and received but a beggarly portion Of his
nominal pertys vote. Mr.. Carrigan is empbatically
fast man, at least in the way of of6ceseeking as
all who read short narrative of his place-hunt-
ing career since the 4th of March last must realize
By-the-by, Mr.. Carrigan was, in l848, one of the
editors and proprietors Of the Philadelphia Spirit Of
the Tines, then free-soil organ. Being at this
time not more than n years of age, when jackson
went out of Office he was but 10 years ofage, though
according to the New York National Democrat he
was staunch official supporter of the Old Hero

The METHODIST CHURoH PRoPERTY-SErrLENENr
or THE DIyF!c1TIEs-Th following official an
nouncement of the settlement of the difficulties at
tending the Methodist Church property will be read
with interest
The undersigned, committee appointed for the
purpose of preparing statement for publication of
the action Of the commissioners upon the question
in litigation between the Methodist Episcopal
Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church South
in relation to the property of the Book Concern in
New 7 FORK, report the following
Hon. John MLean, having voluntarily underta-
ken a correspondence with the commissioners of
the NJ E. Church. and those of the NJ. E. Church
South, and having received assurances from both
parties Of disposition to come to an amicahle set
tement Of the matter in litigation and having been
invited to be present at meeting of the aforesaid
commissioners, and to aid them with his counsels,
met with them at the Mission Rooms, No. 1919 Blul-
berry street, New York, on the 26th utimo, and,
by the unanimous request Of the commissioners,
acted as chairman.
After careful and most friendly examination of
the whole question, the Southern commissioners
made proposition for a settlement of their claim,
which the commissioners Of the New York Con-
Germ accepted Nothing now remains to be done
to consummate this desirable adjustment of most
troublesome litigation but the execution of the
necessary papers, and TIE arrangement for final
decree of the United States Court for the Southern
District of New York, now in session in this city
This settlement has been agreed upon by the
parties without the arbitrament OF third party,
and is to each entirely satisfactory. The oopelu-
sion of this settlement was followed by thanksgiy
ing to God, and most hearty expressions of Chris
tan love and mutual confidence The feeling
which prevails among the commissioners of the
two churches, we may hope, is true type Of that
which will prevail hereafter throughout the bounds
of our common Methodism, North and South
Much credit is to be awarded to his Honor Judge
MLean for his agency in the completion of this
important and desirable arrangement and we doubt
not but this act will stand prominently among
those of his long and brilliant career which has civ
en- him SO enviable position before the Christian
public.
The details of the settlement will be made known
to the public when the final decree of the court
shall transpire. GEoRGE PECK.

The above report was unanimously adopted.

RE-Er,EcTIoy OF col. FoRsEY.

We are greatly pleased at The re-election Of Col
FoRNEY as Clerk of the House of Representatives
both because faithful public officer retaned and
because it is proud vindication of the man from the
ceaseless attacks which have for months past been
made upon him by the New York Herald. The
New York Times prophecied this result before the
election in tie following paragraph;
Sol Forney's stock is rising rapidly under the
Interested abuse of the Herald, and his friends now
feel extremely confident Of his re-election unless
Bennett in the intensity Of his malice, should turn
short about, few days before the election, and be-
gin to praise him The Colonel and his friends are
prepared for almost any emergency; but against
such coup d etdt they can make no adequate pro-
vision. IF that course should be adopted by the
prospective Minister to France, the late Clerks day
IS over"

Tn ISrrDELur OF ABoLIrIoNrsrs Phla-
adephia News, speaking Of the proceedings of the
Pennsylvania State Anti-Slavery Society, recently
held at Norristown, says
'HFhose who yet entertain any doubt of the truth
of the charge that most Of the abolition leaders are
in truth 1nfidels, need but procure copy of the
proceedings Of the convention at Norristown, and
read the discussion which took place there to salts
fythemselves that this charge is not nnfounded in
truth. Those proceedings afford ample proof that
infidelity has made such progress among those one
idea fanatics, and seized hold strongly upon the
minds of most Of the leaders as to constitute now
one of the chief topcsof discussion at their gather
ines, and to be the subject of constant contention
and dispute with them.

We supposed there could be no doubt of our re-
ceiving the message last night, so as to publish it
this morning, as the telegraph announced that it
was published in the Louisville papers of Thursday.
and in the Cincinnati papers of Wednesday morn
ing. The Louisville papers came safely to hand last
night, but they contained no message, and we got
no Cincinnati papers We must therefore wait
day longer
Oar paper contains less than the usual quantity
OF reading matter, on account of ctr having held it
open for the message. We shall make this up to-
morrow.
