GoLD Productions FOR 1S57.--The
production of gold in Australia for the
past year is set down by the best English
authorities at one hundred millions of
dollars The production in other countries
is estimated as follows California, sixty
five millions of dollars; Russia and Siberia,
twenty millions of dollars; other parts of
the world, fifteen millions of dollars
Total, one hundred millions of dollars.
We thus have two hundred millions as
the gold crop of 1853, and the actual
amount is likely to be rather moge than
the estimated aggregate. ~ this fate,
two thousand millions of gold will be
thrown into the monetary circulation Of
the world during the next ten years.

The Right of Search question is reach
ing France. The Patrie says that several
French ships on the coast of Africa having
been searched by Portuguese cruisers, who
suspected them of being slavers, the
Marquis de Lisle, French minister at Lib
son, informed the government that if the
Portuguese ships searched any more French
vessels, under any pretence whatever, or
molested them in their Operations north
of the river Congo, the French cruisers
would sink them. This menace is said by
the Patrie, to have terrified the Libson
Cabinet into compliance.

FRAZER RIVER Observation-Disclosures
Stevens, of Oregon, has addressed a very
interesting letter to the Secretary of State
in reference to the restrictions which have
been placed on citizens of the United
States emigrating to the British possessions
of New Caledonia. Mr. Stephens requests
in behalf Of the citizens of Oregon, that
our government should interfere for the
removal of these restrictions, and also
that demand be made for the repayment
of all sums collected by the Governor of
Vancouver Island, and for the reclama-
ton of all vessels and cargoes confscated
by order Of Governor Douglas.
The interest of our citizens in British
America have thus become matter for
the serious consideration of the President
and his advisers. 1t is not, however. an
pretended that difficulties will arise in
that quarter, of such a nature as to cause
a Misunderstanding between the Govern.
ment of the United States and that OF
Great Britain. Orders will, however, be
sent to the Pacific squadron to employ oui
vessels on that station in such manner
as to prevent any violation of the rights
of our citizens.
Ms Stevens is of the opinion that the
Hudson Bay Company has no special mo
nopoly but that of trading with the In
dians of New Caledonia and the surround
ing country, and that our citizens can lie
gally work the mines without being sub
jected to any taxes or restrictions by thu
company.

The New YoNk Commercial Advertiser,
one among the most able and conservative
Journals North of. Mason and Dixon's
Line has .ecently been discussing the
subject ofa Union party in opposition to
the present Administration or Modern
Democracy. and in doing SO gives forth
the following principles to be encouraged;
l. An honest, conservative, statesman
like administration of the Government
q To restrain the Executive power
within its ancient constitutional limits,
and forbid its prostitution to selfish or IL
legitimate ends.
g. To maintain the Just authority and
independence Of Congress, and rebuke the
attempts to corrupt or overawe our repre-
sentatives by the abuse Of public patro-
mage.
4 Reasonable protection to industry,
and to all American interests, including
foreign and internal commerce.
5. Judicious appropriations for the i'm
provement of harbors and rivers.
G. Justice, moderation and dignity in
the conduct of foreign affairs.
z No sectional encroachments, peace
and concord between the sections, and a
just respect for the right of every State to
regulate its internal concerns.
s. Integrity in all our legitimate bod
les, and new penalties upon bribery and
corruption.
8. The purity of the elective franchise,
and reform of all the abuses and defects
in the administration Of the naturaliza-
ton laws.
10. The President to be ineligible to
reelection.
H. No member of Congress to receive
an Office from the Executive
II. The supremacy of the constitution
and laws.
10. No filibustering schemes for the ex-
tension of our territorial limits.
Upon which platform of principles the
Baltimore Patriot thus comments:
"To these sentiments there can be few
if any objections: "In union there is
strength" and uniting upon broad, con.
sentative national principles, those who
adopt them cannot fail of success So
long, however, as those DESTROYS of uni.
ting continue to wrangle about names, one
faction, endeavoring rudely to swallow up
the other for partizan purposes, there car
be no unity, A union party must stand
upon principle. and not seek, through the
influence of demagogues, wire-workers
and hackneyed politicians to gain advan-
tage one over another. 1t must spring
spontaneously fran the people regardless
of previous organizations. BY this means
jealousies will be avoided. past antipathies
forgotten and perfect independence Sc
cured
Apolilical union cannot and should no
be successful, unless Thoroughly nationa
and congenial to the best interests of tn
whole country. Such is the union w
hope to see arrayod against the presen
Administration in 1860.

rf2~ The locofoco organs are beginning
to brag that the present Administration
has settled the question of the right of
search and visit, which has disturbed the
country for half century, and led to
one war with England. This boast is a
feeble effort to find something that may
help to redeem the worse than worthless
administration that is so lavishingly ex-
pending the national treasure and tarnish-
ing the national honor. If this question
is settled, why is it being discussed in the
British Parliament If it is settled, why
does Cas- tell Napier that our government
is ready to receive and consider any pro.
positions that may be submitted in refer.
ence to it? The truth is that the British
Government disclams the acts of its
cruisers in the Gulf, as going beyond the
letter and spirit Of instructions, and this
is all. 1t has not abandoned the right O
search, as right growing out of the treaty
and the proposition to withdraw its squad
ron for the suppression of the slave trade
is tantamount to the declaration that thu
treaty is a nullity without that right, anC
that it is better to abandon the effort tt
suppress the trade than to go to war abou
it, That England may abandon the RICH
of search when the question comes up fo
negotiation, is possible; that she ha
abandoned it, is not true.

BGy- Last week, and in company with
its distinguished President, we examined
the Female Academy building, from base
mcnt to attic, and do not hesitate to say
that it is the hest planned building, of the
kind, we have ever seen. Convenience,
comfort, health, and taste-have all been
consulted in the plan and execution, and
no one can 90 through it without being
struck with the admirable adaptation of
al its arrangements to the important ends
of such an Institution. The sleeping
apartments for one hundred young ladies,
will be handsomely finished and furnished
and well ventilated, and every room, in the
house, is just the room it should be for its
particular purpose,
The building is situated upon one of the
pretticst lots in town, and in handsome
grove of oaks; and glance at the loca-
ton is sufficient to satisfy any one that
there is not a single local cause of sickness
in its neighborhood. by the first of Sep.
tcmbcr, the building will be finished, the
seven or eight female teachers all in place
and each one well qualified to fill her place
aud we hope to see the Institution at once
take the rank it is destined to hold, and
enjoying the patronage it will justly
merit.
Intending to refer to the subject again
we give this brief notice merely to let oul
readers know the progress of the work
and to advise them of its completion il
time for the fall session.

citizens of Memphis to investigate the
condition of this Institution. 1t appears
that the present deficit in its means to
meet its liabilities amount to 500, 900;
whilst its circulation is less than hereto
fore supposed. IF the means of the Bank
are placed in the hands of receiver and
properly applied to the redemption of the
circulation, the loss to the bill holder can
not be much We doubt not the report

as high locofoco authority. Now, this
same unnaturslzed foreigner, but natural
loeefoeo, speaking of the national demo
cracy, says "Such luxuriant and tenn
porary growth is the National democracy ;
but to keep it growing and blooming, and
even bearing fruit, costs, we find, too
much, Eighty millions per annum-not
dime less--will keep il alive" This is
plain truth, plainly spoken; yet Mitchell
would net have dared to utter it, had he
not sold himself to the disunionists, and
now he ventures to expose the rottenness
locofocoism-of which he is a component
part-in order to show that the Union is
curse and ought to be dissolved But
boar him further
'Certainly the Eighty millions does keep
together democratic party and this
democratic party keeps together the CON
federation of States but the profit of this
goes first to the officehoders and their
friends, and, second, to the party, or Sec
ton which has the predominant power in

millions keeps together the democratic
party, and the democratic party, for the
