RECEIPTS OF GoLp.--The arrivals of gold
in the United States and England, during
the present month of March, bid FUR to be
immense. One of the London papers esti-
mates the March receipts at six million
pounds sterling, which would be nearly $50
oOO, 900. The Georgia, which arrived at
New York on the lat of this month, brought
So, 724,O30. The Uncle Sam, which arrived
there Tuesday, brings accounts Of $4,000
900 more; and by 3lst inst, a fortnight
hence, if the receipts should be $3,276, 900,
the whole amount for March will be &c.
900, OJO, from California, making, with the
English receipts, a grand total of $4,000
600, in one month. This ought to have a
favorable effect upon the finances Of both
countries.
The Tribune states that private letters
from California speak Of the yield OF gold as
very large, and predict that the shipments
in March will be six and u half or seven
millions of dollars. One very remarkable
and important feature is heard of from sew
eral sources by this arrival. The beds of
streams which were worked out and entire
ly abandoned during the erstyear or two af-
ter the discovery Of gold in that country, are
now being worked over again with equal,
and in many cases, with greater success than
originally. Tile tremendous foods Of the
last season have apparently brought down
from the hills large supplies of the precious
metals, and deposited them in the beds OF
the streams. Ilthis %recuperative operation
is to continue, the greatest 'croakcr must
