FRANCE . On Thursday the Able de M ontloms and M Genfllier , a professor of mathematics , we « put upon their trial for 5 om 3 seditious speeches made before the affair of the 13 th of June , in a club of which the Abbe was president . In one of these speeches the Abbe de Moatlouis , speaking of the French expedition to Rome , said that the President of ' the Republic wasatraitor to theconstitution , andthat he should be delivered up to justice . After a long trial , M . Genillier was acquitted , and the Abbe de THontlouis found guilty . The latter was consequently sentenced to six moitbs' imprisonment , acd a fine of 1 , 000 francs .
Paris , Satorday . —Under this date the corrrspondant of the 'Morning Chronicle' writes as follows : 'We have recsived very alarming accounts of the slate of feeling in the east i , f France . The newspapers published in the departments towards the frontiers of Switzerland describe the country on the eve of insnrrect on , and the refugees in Switzerland as anxleusly -waiting for the first symptoms of insurrection to join in the movement . These statemenu are put forward principally by the . organs of the Government , and in -ordinary circumstances -would be calculated to create uneasiness , but as it is knawn that the object of them is to afford an excuse for the interference of France in the demand
made by Prussia asd Aus tria for the expulsion of the Refugees at present in Switzerland , we need not , be particularly affratd that any actual insurrection will take place . " It appears that General Gem au , who commands the sixth military division ( of which Lyons is the centre , and which has , for the last year , been in a state of siege , ) has app lied to the Government for further reinforcements . This would be an alarming symptom were it not for the fact that a short time since this same General Geraeau wrote a report , in which he stated that , with the troops he bad , he would secure the tranquillity of his district , and that if the National Guards were disarmed , he would consent to a redaction of 10 . 000 men /
Count Ladislans Teleki and M . Pultzky have addressed letters to the Journal des Debate , ' coniradtcting a statement in the journal'le Napoleon , ' to the effect that revolutionary committees had been established in the pnncipil cities of Europe , in correspondence with a central committee in London directed by Mazztn ' , Ledru Rollin , Strnve , and Pulszky . M . Mouillard , the sditor of the La Liberte . was sentenced by the Police Court , of Paris on Saturday to imprisonment for one month , and to pay a fine of 200 f ., far having published the journal without lodging the security required by law .
Paris , Sunday . —Yesterday evening the French Minister / was left in a minority on an important question on the order of tee day , read for the further consideration of the bill introduced by the Government for the transference of the Prefecture , and other public officers of the Department of the Shone , from Montbrison to St . Etienne . It became evident that a strong opposition would be made to the measure by the whole of the Republican party ,
and a considerable number of the Conservatives expressed their determination to oppose it . On the other hand , M . de Malleville , M . de Gramraont , and M . Leon Faucher , warmly defended the measure / and the latter took care to warn the Assembly that , as the rejection of the bill would be a grave check to the Government , he would beg of the Assembly before doing si to consider well the consequences . . Notwithstanding this warning , the Assemblyrejected the measure bv a majority of 335 to
160 . M . Marc Dufeaissp , a representative of the people and editor of the Ruche de La Dordogne . ' having been found guilty by a jury of the Charente exciting the popnlation to civil war , has been sentenced to imprisonment for six months , and to pay a fine of 2 , 000 f . The 'Journal da Cher' of the 2 nd inst , states that the Irish priest , inhabiting one of the communes of the arrondissenient of Sancerre , has been expelled from France .
DISTURBED STATE OF PARIS . ( From the < Daily News ' of Wednesday . ) Monday . —After your express left Paris this evening , the democrats of the Faubourgs assembled in tumultuous groups around the base of the tree of liberty in the Rue St . Martin , which some of the police agtnis were attempting to cut down . The people muttered curses loud and deep , and at length their ire broke forth into a more serious form , lite police were compelled to decamp iguominiously .
The arrival of the troops , however , turned the a » pect of affairs . Although no shois were fired , I regret to say that blood has again been shed , and five men bave been seriously wouuded—two of them mortally , 1 believe , but the streets are so densely thronged that it is absolutely impossible to obtain accurate information . Gen . Lamoricfcre has been dragged from his carriage , but a friend pushed him into a cabinet de lecture , from which he escaped by a back door .
GineralChangarnier has , however , 100 , 000 men under arms , so there is little prospect of anything serious occurring during the night . On Tuesday there had been a continuation in a slight degree of the rassemhlemens in the Quartier St . Martin . At noon nuraerons groups of men in blouses filled the streets about the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers and the boulevards . The sergem de tille had some difficulty in keeping open path through the streeis . General Changarnier went out on horseback with an escort of dragoons and visited the scenes of yesterday's riot . Between two and three o ' clock , the crowd became so thick and compact about the Port St . Martin that troops bad to be ordered up to "keep the streets clear . As I write the crowds are gradually dispersing . No collision of any kind took place . AU will pass of
quietly ; but there are not a few , now that the thing is over , who see in the whole affair a mere coup monie , an attempt to get up a demonstration lor the purpose of proclaiming the empire . If such was really the case , the expectations formed have not been ^ realised . One thing remains certain , however , and it may serve as a warning , that the gen - rals of the tiers parti—the Cavaignacs , Bedeaus , and Lamoricieres—bave nothing to hope from the peo > pie in case of a really serious disturbance , and there is every chance that they would all perish , bein g specially marked out for popular revenge . The attack on General Lamoriciere was very near proving fatal to him ; for , had . he not escaped as he did , he ¦ wouW probably bave been killed . The ' Katienal ' is the only journal of its parly which laments the treatment that so sincere a republican as M . Lamoriciere suffered .
The - Moniteur' of Wednesday announces that the tree ef liberty in the Carre St . Martin , and that of the Porte St . Martin , having during Tuesday g iven rise to tumultupus manifestations , have been cut doRn . - ' - " ... - . The BEmber of arrests ir . a < 2 e on Monday and Tuesday araonots to 283 , including twelve women . The rest of Paris remained perfectly tranquil on Tuesday . The government have received a telegraphic despatch announcing the election of M . Edgar Hey , the Buonapasiist candidate , for the department of the Cbarenie . M . Proudhoa ' s paper 'Le Voix du Penple' has Jbeen seized this \ morning by the police , for an article entitled * Vive l'Snipereur . '
The recently disbanded Garde Mobile has deter , mined to make z demonstration on the 24 th of February . A meeting of the officers has been called to settle the preliminaries of a formal procession , to be formed that day , for the purpose of visiting the column of July . Tfce = Garde Mobile are to appear in . uniform . Tfeirty-two individeds were arrested on Monday eveniagat the place of meeting of the ' Association des Marchande de Via / Rue Jean Robert , and twenty-three others at a branch establishment in the Sue de Poitou . ' The saajority of them are said to be amnestied insurgents fcom Belle Isle .
• Orders have just been gins / , says the' Courrier Francais , ' « to collect an army-of observation on the frontier of Switzerland . It is said that General jSchramm is to be charged with the command of this corps . '
SWITZERLAND . The commuBies tion made by Austria and Prussia to the French , cabicet respecting the occupation of Sintzerland is length y . It seeks to prove that Switzerland by its aggressive position has abandoned that neutrality which i t was enabled by treaties to assume ; that the incessant efforts of democratic propaganda , exercised as it is at the Tery doors of Prussia and Austria , obliges those powers to keep en foot au immense military forced namely 600 , 000 jnen"for tbe . latter , and 490 , 000 'for the former ; Jhat the expenses required to keep op such military forces are sources of grenous financial burdens ; that unless the present state of things ceases the peace of Germany cinnot bo ensured , and recourse must

be had to the occupation either « f Baden , Saxony ; orWurteraberg ; that the peace of North Italy is also 8 erionsly \ endan 5 ered by perpetual threats of aggression on that side of the S « i | s frontier ; and that the powers have therefore decided to require the expulsion from the Swiss territory of all the refugees . Hopes are confidently entertained that Switzerland will yield to the demand ; but incise of refusal force will be used and recourse will be had to military occupation , to expel the refugees . Afterannouncing this intention , the joint communication of the powers condescends to ask for Drencn co-operation in the matter , but expresses a deterits sanctionm
mination to proceed at once without , ea Such r are 3 re demands of the two northern powers —such their pretensions against Switzerland . Ana yet the confederation has done all to p lease absolutism . It expelled the chiefs of the Baf-n insurrection - abandoned to revenge unfortunate men , who were protected by no amnesty ; it violated , in the most flagrant manner , the rig ht of asylum . But , in the eyes of the absolutist powers , this is not enough . That course which Switzerland has pursued in certain cases only must be extended to all , and its weakness " in violating the right of asylum m respect of a few must lead to the same violation in the case
of all the refugees . In all the discussions that have taken place in the Swiss assemblies the federal councillors and their friends have constantly said that their had been , neither votes nor demands made by foreign powers ; that no interference of that kind would have been toleratedl Now , however , there will be both notes and demands ; and , accordingly to the doctrines put forward , Switzerland must resist . The « Debats' hopes that Switzerland will be wise enough to be its own policeman—that is , it hopes that Switzerland will yield . The ' Opinion Publique' sees not the possibility of the federal government yielding , and ihe result , it says , roust ultimately be this , that Radetski will march upon Lugano , and the Austrian and Prussian forces Ufcon Berne-and Neufchatel . .
The 10 th of March is decidedly fixed ( says Ihe ' Assemblee Nationdle' ) as the day on which the Austrians and Prussians enter Switzerland , in case the demands made on the federation are not satisfied . The Federal Council , of Switzerland has addressed a circular to the cantons , directing Jhat an active and vigilant police shall be . kept up over refugees , and demanding returns of the numbers in each canton , the periods they have been there , &c . The Swiss Minister in Paris has addressed a
letter to the ' Journal des Debats' in answer to some remarks of that paper on the subject of Switzerland . The Minister states that on the 16 th of July last the Swiss Federal Council , of its ewn ccord , ordered the expulsion of all the refugees who had been civil or military leaders , and who had abused the asylum granted to them in ' Switzerland . \ Among those expelled were MM . Strue , ~ Hemzeni Mieroslawsky , Ravaux , Siege ) , Willich , Blenkcr , Brentzno , Doll , Me Uermcl ) , and others .
ITALY . ROME . —The public trial of Cernuscbi commenced at Rome on the 23 rd ult . Tie court was crowded to suffocation . He is accused—1 st , of having published . proclamations against the French daring the siege ; 2 ndly , of having damaged the palace Fames ?; 3 rdly , of having squandered immense sums for the erection of barricades ; 4 thly , of having been a party to the Roman revolution , and to the proclamation of the ' republic ; athly , of having attempted to excite the people against the French on the day of their entering Rjme ; Gthly , of having taken up a flag at the ' Caffe Nuovo , and
placing himself at the head of the people , in order to insult the French on the piazza' Colonna . It is generally believed , however , that ,, whether condemned or acquitted , he will be sent to Paris . Several ex-officers of the- Roman troops have been arrested at Rome . A letter from that city of the 24 th states , on the strength of a rumour that has gained general credit there , that in virtue of an agreement with the Spanish government , the Island of Forraentera ( one of the Baleric group ) . is to be granted to the Order of Matla , to establish its government there . Part of the members of the order are to inhabit Rime for the defence of the Sovereign Pontiff .
Later intelligence brings word of the acquittal of Cernuschi . By a notification of the 19 th ulL , Cardinal Patrizi , Ticar-General of the Roman Court , has informed the people of the Roman Sates , that his Holiness hzs prescribed a novene ( nine days' public prayer ) to be celebrated in all parochial churches , in honour of the purification of the . Virgin Mary . Seven years' indulgences , and as many quarantaines , are granted to the faithful for every time they attend these public prayers . - The ' Milan Gazette ' states from Rome , 21 st , that Generals Cordova and Zabala have taken with them to Terracina the medal and decorations intended for the Spanish soldiers . They are of copper , about the size of an half-penny , and bearing on one side the following inscription :
—Pius IX . Font . Max . Romee restitut .. Catholicis armis collatis aim . 1849 . On the other side is the tiara , with the keys and the inscription : — Sede Apodolica Rotnana . The medal is to be worn by a white and yellow ribbon .
HUNGARY AND AUSTRIA . The difficulties of Austria increase on every side The last news brings notice of serious disturbances in Dalmatia . In Cattaro and the neighbourhood the inhabitants have refused to pay the newly imposed taxes , and 6 , 000 men , with several rocket batteries , have been sent to persuade them to obey . ' On the 11 th ( says the ' Gaz-. tta di Zara' ) the war steamboats , Custozza and Curtatone , arrived * at Zara with a battalion of the Hess regiment of foot on board , and after having taken from here a second battalion of Jagers , sailed for Cattaro , where a flotilla of several ships of war and two . steamers vi ill be stationed . General Mamula is in command of the expedition . " -In Vukovar a disturbance took
place on the 10 th between the soldiers and the people , during which the latter were fired on . The civil chief , Sloiehevich ' , has found it necessary to send for additional military force from Eseeg . The * Sud-Slavische Zeituntr , ' an anti-Magyar paper , writes from Essea : — Although there ; is no truth in the reports of conspiracies , or that an army of 80 , 000 men are in arms against tfee government , it is impossible to deny the great discontent that is prevalent among the people : on that subject there can be only one opinion . ' The editors of the 1 Figgelmezo , ' MM . Yida and de Somsich ., are both banished from Peath . The reason assigned is , thai as organs of the now opposition conservative party , they were endeavouring to form these into a compact body . ' . .. ' -. ' - ' '
TiiANSTLVANrA . —The news from Transylvania becomes every day more and more distressing . Klausenburgh , and the country round it , is given up to the tender mercies of Colonel U : ban , whose only idea of government seems to be the plentiful application of the knout . The wife of a respectable lawyer , of the name of Csat , was lately condemned to be flogged in the market place , for having concealed her son-in-law , who had served as an . officer in the Hungarian army . As the poor woman was led forth she took down the portrait of Koseuth
from the wall , pressed it to her heart , and thus prepared went on with the ifirmness and dignity of a martyr to suffer for the cause of her country . Fortunately the ' regiraental surgeon interfered , and declared her too weak to bear the punishment , on which she was sent to hard labour in the common prison . 1 leave you to guess : the iraprsssion this scene must have made on a population among whom there is not a family , from the wealthiest noble to the poorest burgher , where similar crimes , 'if crimes tkey are , have not been committed . ¦ :
Servia . —Matters have come to that pass in Servia that drumhead court-martial ( standrecltt ) has been proclaimed . The difference between standrechf and hriegsrecht is , that the former disi . penses even with the little ceremony observed ih martial law , as the common duration of a trial by standrecht is three minutes , and a corporal is made master of life and death , death sentences being exi-CUted instantly . Courts of this sort are ambulent , andholdable when convenient on any spot :. A letter from Temesvar shows that great excitement exists there , together with a very bad feeling on the
part of the citizens towards General Kuschewitz . General Mayerhoffer , the governor of the Woy wo : dinBi hag just put an end to the existence of the national government in a somewhat summary manner , notwithstanding that it was recognised at Vienna , and had performed the administrative functions during the whole of the Hungarian war .

The whole of Transylvania was said to bo on the eve of in surrection . ; Kossuth and the refugees were expected at Brpussa the following week . : - General Guyo ' n , " who , in September , 1849 , had made app lication to Lord Ponsonb y respecting his wiie and children , and had never received any answer direct or indirect-from his lordship , has at length received . intelligence respecting them from the Foreign-office ^ : . Prince Schwartzenbergh , he is informed , had written two letters , stating in one that Countess Guyon and her children had been taken to Presburgli , where the government provided for her subsistence and the education , of her children , , as she was totally destitute .
Not only the estates of Guyon and his lady have b > en confiscated . by the Austrian government , but £ 2 , 01 ) 0 settled on her had . been seized , and after this Prince Schwarzenbergh boasts of her being supported by the liberality of the government and even this , on his own evidence , turns out to be a falsehood , as in a second letter ke admits that he does not know where Countess Guyon and her children are , but must write to Hayr . au to ascertain . GREECE . IMPORTANT NEWS . Athens papers and letters of the 19 th ult . brings us accounts of a serious rup : ure between the Jf 5 nglish and Greek governments ,. aM a total suspension of the relations between the two powers . It appears that the Eiiglish Minister , Sir Thomas Wyse , backed by Sir William Parker , and the squadron under his command , made several demands on the Greek government ; the first was with respect to a claim made on behalf of a Portuguese Jew of the name of Pacifico , a British subject , whose bouse was burnt ( luring some disturbances , and for whom the English government / it is said , demands an . indemnity of 800 , 000 drachmas . The second was
with respect to the c . aims of Mr . George Finlayi which have never yet been settled ; the third , with respect to the claims of some sailors at Patras whose vessel was seized by the Greek government ; and lastly , the ; English authorities demanded the surrender of the islands , of Cervi aud Sapienza , which , the English government has always claimed as forming a portion of the ^ Ionian . Archipelago . The Greek government positively refused to admit the claims made upon it ; and a delaj of twenty-four hours , allowed by Admiral Parker before having recourse to extremities , was allowed , to pass without ' anything being done . The French Minister , M . Thovenel ,
and the Russian Minister , M . Persiani , then offered their mediation , which was dpclihed by Sir Tbomai Wyse , fthd persisted in his demand , but at ihe same time gave an additional period of twenty-four hours , to allow the Greek government to reconsider its deterraination . This'time was also allowed to pass without any attempt being inade to arrange the question in dispute . The Senate and the Chamber of Deputies met , and . ' agreed to a joint address to the King , in which they strongly protested against the exigencies of the British : government , formally protested against them , and intimated their readi ness to support his Majesty in any measure which he should adopt to resist them . _ ¦ ,- . ...
At the time of the departure of the steamer , Admiral Sir William Parker \ yas preparing to ^ adopt coercive measures . ' The whole coast of Greece was declared in a state of blockade , as . far as' regarded Greek vessels only , and orders were given that all ships of war under the Greek flag should be captured . - : ;! A letter of the 18 th ult ., in the ' Dflbats , ' from Athens says : —* On the evening of the 16 th a note proposing the arbitration of . the other protecting powers , France and Russia , was placed in the hands of the . English Minister by ; the Minister of Foreign Affairs . . At the same iime the Gieek government communicated the note to the French and Russian
ministers , and solicited their intervention with ' Mr . Wyse , to induce him , to accept his propositions . This step met witL no success . . The English minister persisted in his former resolutibns , but a fresh delay of twenty-four hours was granted . This term expires at the moment I ' ana' how "' writing to you . ; Since this morning the rs is a lalk'of the intention bn the part of the English Admiral to blockade the ports of Syra , the PiiajiiS ; aiid'Palras , and to take possession of the custom-houses of these places , ' but nothing positive is known on . the subject . The French . and the Russian ministers have not hesitated -to give the Greek government all the support at their command , and public . opinion , goes
entirely with them . The royal family loudly express their gratitude . At the Pirajus' and at Athens the irritation against the English is very great . That will avail nothing , I know , against the cannon of Admiral Parker , but it is the complete nnnihila tion of M . Mavrocordato ( the English party , ) and o ' his fine friends ; who dare hot any more show themselves . ' Is is impossible but that in all Ev \ ro )> e , as at Athens ; a just appreciation will be formed of what is passing at this moment in Greece . Independently of the fact in itself , is there a power which must not shorn itself hurt at the unceremonious conduct : of the English , who , while loudly proclaiming that it was about to return peaceably to Malta > goes ,
without saying a word on the subject to Admiral Parseyal , and without Mr . Canuing mentioning it in the slightest way to General Aupick , and places a knife at . the throat of Greece on the most frivolous pretence ; a pretence which would scarcely deserve to become the object of a negotiation ? P . S . —At tlie moment of closing riiy letter , I learn that the English Admiral has decided on employing coercive measures . All the coast ' s of Greece are placed in a state of blockade for Greek vessels of war only . Any armed vessel , ' under the Greek flag , will be irrimei diately captured . The chambers have given their adhesion in an addressto the sentiments and policy of the government . ' *

The suspension of diplomatic intercourse ¦ with Austria was again brought up in the Seriate on the day following that on which' Messrs . Hale-and Clay opposed the motion of Senator 0 as 3 . Mr .

CALIFORNIA . Philadelphia , " January 22 , I 860 . —^ The modern Pactolus of the Pacific is very likely to become a river of death as well as of gold , owing to the setting in : of the rainy season of California a month earlier than in former years . A friend , who left San Francisco on ; the . 1 st : uU . ^ our latest date , ) informs m e that a majority of , the miners are still in the raounJain gorges , or on the rills and tributaries of the Rib Sacramento , with scarcely any provisions , and that the unusually early rains and immense inundations of the river must prevent the return of most of them , to San Francisco , How are they to live ? The rainy season continues for five months , sometimes six . His opinion is , that much and deadly sickness , and perhaps starvation , among the gold-diggers will he inevitable .
Mr . C——y having sailed on ^ the 15 th' of September , 1849 reached San Francisco in about six weeks , lie remained there a few weeks , long enough to dispose of bis goods at a large profit , and left San Francisco on the 1 st of December ; arrivtd , at Panama on the 29 th , commenced crossing tlie Isthinus . on the following morning , and reached Chargres on the 1 st of January , lie left on the 2 nd , reached New York on tbe 13 th , and this , city the same day . Thus
it will appear , that this gentleman was absent four months . I asked him the amount of bis expenses , and he replied 1 , 400 dollars . The cost of his trip home was full 450 dollars . It may , therefore , be calculated' that travelling across the Isthmus to California , urine best cabins , and living in a respectable style for four months , will cost l , 400 dollar 8 . Mr . C~—y tells me that he paid 30 dollars a week for his board at San Francisco—a very low price , but then he was with friends and acquaintances .
He found more than 300 vessels in the bay , mostl y deserted by their crews . It was , he said , impossible to keep men on board } such was the magnetic : attraction of the gold digg ings ; arid for many of the men who had deserted , security . had been g iven ; by their friends in the UnitedStates for their continuance with their ships . But such was the temptatiop , that they broke through all , the restraints of promise , and covenant . My friend tells me that it cost hiiii almost as much to get his goods landed from ' the ' ship in the harbour of San Francisco as the ' entire ' freight from Pbiladelpliia round tlie Horn , while the storage isenormbus dear—say 2 dollar s 50 cents per barrel per month' for flour .
He had on a pair of boots ' which he bought at San Francisco , ' such as are ' commonly retailed in this city at from 2 dollars 50 cents to 3 dollars per pair , and for these he paid 20 dollars on ' a Monday , bir , he added , on the following d ' ay . the same boots rose to 25 dollars ! .. He took , with him a . pair of fishermen ^ boots , a common article , reaching above tbe knee , and these he said he found very usefulindeed , as the very beststreet-crossing in San Francisco was from twelve to eighteen iflches deep in ; nud , When he left he sold tliese . bbots for 48 dqllars , . . and had they been nbw , they would have lirq ' ught ' "f rom ' 90 dollars > to-100 dollars . In Philadfilphia they cost fi-nm'S Vihiinrs t * n 1 dollars : ' Mr : C—'—v said " that from' 5 dbllars to 7 dollars ; Mr ; C— --ysaid that
. on one occasion , he went into a restaurant , and ordered two eggs , some bread and ; butter , - arid tep , price one dollar ' and a half V Provisions-were enori raously high , arid at the diggings ] ' flour and pork were worth a dollar a pound—in some cises a dollar and a half . Board at San Francisco varied from 20 dollars to 40 dollars a week , according . to quality ; hut my friend said that the greatest danger in San Francisco to , young men was the iucredible . extent to which gambling is carried . He had seen as . much gold on a . monte table as : would suffice , for the capi tal of , a bank ; as ! . mucb , perhaps , as could , be feund in the yaiilis of some , of tlie hanks oif Philadeiphia . Gold in San Francisco ci * ci \ lated . to the tune Vf ¦
millions of dollars—hundreds of th () usands sometimes lost there in a single nig ht ! There are mai j private mints , and my friend has brought home with him all sorts of California coins—specimens of molten lumps of gold as found iu the ' dry" diggings , and- gold dust ' and ' scales as found in the ' washings . In his opinion , not half the gold that has been found has yet . been forwarded to tbe United States * England , and Valparaiso . ; One of his lumps weighed nearly three oz ., and'was evidently molten hy volcanic fires . One of his coins was shaped exactly like a bricfc , and weig hpd frcn one oz . to two cz . of the ; purest gold that could be solidified . But gold is now found mixed , with the granite or quar'z of the
Coast Range and ,, Sierra Nevada Mountains , and a report to that '" effect ,- has been made to the United States Government . , A pound weig ht of the quartz rock Will y ield 1 dollar . 50 cents ' - worth of geld . Much " to tlie comfort of the travellers who are dcr tained in transilu on the Isthmus , a gold mine , washing ; or region lias been found there , reputed to be very rich .. There were , about 1 , 000 Americans on tlie Isthmus when . Mr . G- —y crossed it , and many had rssolved to remain and work the new Panama . mine . While returning he met on the Isthmus an old woman and ten young females , all unfortunate or depraved , from St . Louis and New ' : Orleans . They were en route for San Francisco ,
there to add other vices to the licentiousness of the place . Yet ' notwithstanding the gambling and drunkenness that prevail there , my friend tells me that order now exists , ' owing to the severity with which the decrees of tribunals are executed . ; Ycung men , and especially clerks and assistants . instores from New York and Philadelphia , are , he says ^ unfit , to . dig , and they are now too numerous in San Francisco to find employment . Labour is 7 dollars a day—oarpsnlers , painters ; smiths , and other handicraftsmen 12 dollars to 1 G dollars a . day . . Colone } Freeniont bad the best chance of being elected Senator . The Democrats have majorities all through California . Between the sailing of the two . ; last
steamers ' there had been two or three murders reported ; from the 'diggings , and . two suicides ( a Frenchman and ' a German ) iii : San ^ Francisco—both from disappointment and despair . One . building lof , twenty feet by fifty , was told in his presence for 20 , 000 dollars , and , even then , considered qiiirea bargain . Messrs ; Cook , Baker , and Co ., had put up a large bouse of galvanised iron from New X ' Prk ; which was immediately let 813 , 000 ^ dollars per month ' , in advance . Clerks ( shopmen ) receive 150 . dollars ' to 20 , 0 dollars a month ; A barber chargesi ' 50 cents , for shaving , 1 dollar for cutting hair . . The result of Mr . C . ' s observations was , that while here and there a digger made a fortune , many were reduced to skeletons bv sickness , " returned in rags and tatter .-,
and not a few left their bones in the fields of Mammon . Deaths were frequent from 'dysentery . Diarrl-. rjea . scurvyi chills and fever were the prevailing diseases , ; and medicine brought . extravagant Vrxes , the ' practical ; motto being ' apparently . ' No money , no medicine . ' The doctors wereall getting rich . * r . One passenger returned in the Cherokee steamer with Mr . C , who had . by commercial ventures and land speculations made l ^ OO .

'There are now about 100 , 000 ' inhabitantsi in all California , all ardent for its adm | ssi 6 ii' into ' the ; , Union as a state . There are nt least 20 , 000 , in San Francisco , and two newspapers are published there , . 10 [ dollars for the very shortest : advertisement' the . first time , and 5 dollars for each after insertion .
So much for the personal information of Mr . C——y , ' to which I will add , ; that the Cherokee brought about 330 . 000 dollars on nccouut—and the passengers had 40 d , 000 ' ddllar 8 more . A lew days previously , tbe Falcon arrived with a laVge amount from Chagres—the Ala ' iama with 283 , 000 dollars and the Ohio from Havana , with ! some 100 , 000 dollars from Chagres .

TO THE MINERS - ^ THE NORT H . TOTH ^ BpiIOB OP THB- « NOnrHER !< r STAB . Sra . —The Workmen of Marley < HiH colliery , who had summoned tlieir employees-: on a charge of assault , ' caffliniHed'by ^ maltreating one of the work * men for being , as alleged , upon a certain road which they ( the employers ) deemed their private property . The case was jieard ^ on Wednesday , Jan . 30 tb ; Mr . Roberts being ' retained by the workmen , and a Mr . Preston defended the ownera . __ - — . ' ¦ ... *« . — Ai / - »« mwur ' fwTi iTAnmiT
Mr . Roberts began by apprising the Bench of the disposition of the Workmen tot forego ; any further proceedings , provided the gentlemen' in question would acknowleiige . that they had done wrong , and wou'd guarantee tbe rig ht of the road in question to thepublic ; who were , as he contended , so strongly protected in this right , that nothing short of an act of parliament could abrogate ? t ., .. ' The parties , however , put in a plea of cot guilty , and the case vras proceeded wi th : —Mr .-Roberts said his client , ' W . Nicholson / was the son of J . Nicholson , both of whom bad been lately Workmen at the'Marley ilill colliery . On the I 7 th JanuaryWe p laintiff was passing along ' the roa 4
, leading past the colliery to Tanfisld Villagp , when he was accosted by Mr . . Berkley , an agent of the colliery , and told he had no business that way . Mr . Berkely . then took the young man by . the neck , and gave him a severe shaking , at which time Mr . Palmer , one of the owners , coming up , inquired why he-was ] and was told by Berkeley that . it was Jacs Nicholson ' s son . Upon learning this , he ( Mr . Palmer ) made such use of his whip to the legs and thi ghs of the plaintiff that they remained sore and discoloured for maby days . It appears , coniinued Mr . Roberts , that the road in question was a very ancient road , and parties now in court would prove that ' they had travelled it for forty years before the
colliery was niade . This road , ; er footpath ; led off the main road , or - ' turnpike , " arid went direct to Tanfield Village , and it had been frequented for manyjears as a shorter cut to Tanfield Church . Ths ownfrs had , however , built upon a part of the said roar ) , and harl blocked it up by a railed / ence , and at each end was . a . l « ng post and ; . board g iving notice that trespassers would be prosecuted . - Having blocked up the old road , they had madeanew one , which , although , it . took a circuitous bearing , was generally used ; by the public . . .. rather than risk a prosecution by taking the old road . " Now it was on this new road that the plaintiff was passing ; wlien so maltreated by the defendants ; and when it was
shown by his witnesses , that for sixty years the road which the ' owners had blocked up had lieen a' public road , ond that-since , within the last ten years if had been stopped up , ' and that the ; new ( and the only road ) had been substituted , was it not clear that the public used this road instead of the old , and the owners had never , until this time , prevented them from sousing it ? His client had a just right to pass along that ; road , and none of the defendants ought to * have assumed the power to prevent him ; for even in the alteration of a road the public had a right to ' be consulted- But he would put all a-side concerning tKe . roadi If the road was even private propertv , the defendants were not
justified in ill-using the plaintiff , for he would have them to know , 'that thoug h ' tney stood in a much higher position''in sbciety than the working ' man , whom they had' assaulted arid ' otherwise ill-used , yetthey could riot do so with impunity . ' The lawwoUld be found tod strong for them . Witnesses were then called ; who proved the attack made upon the plaintiff . Tlie defence , which was of the most crot ' ehetty description , attempted to show that the . owners having purchased the land wherein the colliery was planted , they , of course ; had purchased the old road , and had . thereby made it private property . - The Bench , after a . long consultation about . the road , de . cidftd that it was a disputed road , and fined the defeadant five shilling ' s and costs , for the assault . ;
' , ' . ' . ' It is but proper to note , that until the dispute between' the ' owriers and the workmen . arose , there had been no objections to persons parsing along tlie roai ; but the employers having got a few Scotch and Irish- miners to work in- the pit while : the old hands are standing out , they are anxious to prevent their former woikraen' from coming near the ' colliery lest they should persuade some of the intruders to leave . This is the reason why they . set upthe claim of ' private property' to .. the road in question . . ... = Yours , &c . -...,- M . JUDE ,
