THE CALIFORNIA GOLD CRoP.-The gold ship
ped from California to New York, during the
year 1855 amounted to $36, l79 344; in 1857,
the amount received was $34 ,222, ,9O4, showing
a difference in favor of 1858 of $l,956 ,440.
One of the shipments for 1857, however,
amounting to nearly two millions, was entirely
lost, by the wrecking Of the Central America,
SO in reality there was very little difference in
the amount shipped for the two years. The
New York Herald, in alluding TO the gold sta
tistics, says:
1t will be seen that the crop is as steady aI
that of the great staples. corn, cotton and to-
bacco. The character of mining operations has
changed, however. There is now but little ore
found upon the surface or in placers. The
inventive skill of our mechanics has been set
to work TO construct machines by which the
washing or quartz crushing is accomplished.
The hand work was still further lessened this
year by the sudden withdrawal OF no less than
thirty thousand Californian miners, who turned
their faces towards Fraser river. 1t appears in
fact, that mining operations in California are
only commenced. Centuries, perhaps ages, will
clapse before the quartz mines will cease to be
productive and with the new machinery aud
clever men to direct it, the product Of each sue
ccedng year will be greater than the prcced-
ing. The future Of California is almost too
grand for finite perception.

VALUABLE PAPERS RECovERED.-SOme time
ago a suit was instituted in the Twelfth District
Court by r. G Brooks against the steamer Paul
Pry, Captain Lubbock. The ease was decided
but no benefit derived therefrom by the party
favored, owing to the fact that all the papers
in the case had been distracted from the office
of the County Clerk Fortunately for Captain
Lubbock, that gentleman had retained copies Of
the papers in question, and the suit was again
opened. but to the great surprise Of the Captain
he observed that the opposite side were as fully
posted in the contents of the documents as him.
self, notwithstanding he knew they had retain
ed no copies His suspicious were excited and
made known TO the Chief of Police, who refer
red the matter to Captain Douglass and Officers
Nugent, Durie and Mccormick. who at once set
their well known abilities in operation. Eight
weeks bad elapsed and nothing had transpired
until last evening, when the above named Off
GERS discovered all the missing papers conceal
ed on all upper shelf in the Office Of r. s. Ryan
lawyer in this city. Ryan, together With the
opponents of Capt Lubbock in the case Robert
G. Brooks James Brooks and David Brooks,

OSE REASON winter Mr.. Broderick
prevented certain spectators 10 San Francisco
from swindling the government out of some
hundred thousand dollars. Through misrepre
sentations they had succeeded in making the
Secretary Of War believe that Lime Point"
which The Government wanted for the purpose
Of erecting fort ihcatiOns. was worth, we believe,
over hundred thousand dollars. Mr.. Brode-
rick assured the Secretary and the country
that Lime Point was not worth one tenth of
that amount, and that it would not bring the
sum of $4,000 at action in the city Of San
Francisco. Here we see certain speculators
were defeated by Mr.. B. in their attempt to rob
the Government Of near 100000. Is Il any
wonder that they and their friends should en-
deavor to remove Mr.. B. from position where
he could watch and defeat their rascalities !?
We venture to say that these very defeated
specuIators initiated the present persecution
of Mr.. B.--ShGad C61vi<f.
The amount which was to have been paid for
Lime Point was 100000.

A Project is on foot to erect monument

The necessary appropriations have been made
by all the States, except Sonth Carolina and a
bill making the appropriation has passed the
Senate of that State, aud it is thought it will
also pass the House.

A u. S. FoREIGN MNIsTER.-The Panama
correspondent of the AHa, under date of Jan.
l4tb, gives the following, which he says was
told him by an eye witness:
"The Merrmac and Decatur are lying near
ReaIejo. Many Of the best people of the coun-
try had been attracted there to see the former
ship, and there being no coed house on the
shore near by; huts were occupied. Well, il
seems that Gen. Lamar being in the neighbor
hood. was invited to spend his time and make
himself comfortable on board the Merrimac
He did 80 for day or two, but suddenly one
morning went on shore bag and baggage, aud
the balance of the day was drunk as he could
be, on the beach, where he showed himself 10
the crowds present in the scanty dress of shirt,
pants and bat, nothing more; ate his meals on
barrel head. and slept at night on the ground
in hut or Niger rum-holc. His Official dis
patches from his government were found strew-
ed about on the ground, and gathered up by
friend, and taken care Of day or two until the
United States Minister was able to read. Such
disgrace seems more deep, perhaps. from the
fact that the British Minister Sir William Gore
OuscIey was present and cognizant of these
things"
