I'HOM CALIFORNIA.
'lhe New York Herald has the follow
;ng letter, containing the latest intelligence
-roni California. It was brought by the
IPitish mail steamer from Vera Ciuz to
.Mobile:
VERA CRUZ, MEXICO, April 11. 1819.
1 have seen here a number of the Alia
California, of the 22ud of February,
brought overland to this place. It publish
a list ''f arrivals of vessels si San Fran
risen .fifty hi number, from the various ports
,n the Pacific, tcithin the. week preceding.
These vessels are freighted with assorted
cargoes f>r the California market.
These arrivals, joined to those that had
reached there a short time previously
lure overlooked the market. All articles
.ifmerchandise have become a drug—no
sales, no purchasers, and prices down tothe
New \ ork figure. The paper is full of
advertisements of stores, of goods, of ships,
Ac- The market is full of everything in
goods, groceries, and all other articles.
ihe newspaper lus nothing of impor
tance or general information. The elec
tions for the delegates to form a provision
al constitution, had taken place, and meet
ings had been held to express public opin
ion on the subject of slavery, and a unani
mous sentiment against slave labor.
I have also seen a letter to a merchant in
this place, whicli contains still later news
trom San h rancisco, down to the 28th of
February. It states that the first steamer
lit Rowland Ac AspinwaM's line had arrived
:it San hrancisco, and immediately ail
hands had left the vessel for the mines.
Great apprehensions were entertained that
me steamer would not be able to go to sea
for w ant ol men to work her.
The same letter stated that the gold still
holds out in the usual abundance, and that
new placers were almost daily discovered.
I could not obtain the paper to send to you
as there is only one copy here.
Mr. Skinner, of Connecticut, has suc
ceeded in making a contract with the Mex
ican government for the establishment of a
telegraph between this place and the city
of Mexico. ESTAFETTE.
The steamship Oregon, with her 300
passengers, arrived at Mazallan on the 22d
nit.—she merely touched there, and pro
reeded on her voyage to San Francuco, on
the same day.
By private letters received in Mexico,
it was learned that during the week ending
tne 10th March, a schooner arrived at
\iazatian from San Francisco, with Jiftecn
thousand ounces ($2-40,000,) of gold on
hoard, from the Placers. \ his gold had
been purchased at San Francisco, at from
§ll to 615 per ounce.
On the 19th of March, a brig and a
schooner left Mazallan for San Francisco—
they each carried seventv passengers. The
news which arrived every day was so good
and so positive, that every one in Mazstlan
was wild to go to the gold regions. News
also had been received, that another Pla
cer had been discovered in Lover Call
fornia . which bid fair to rival in richness
those on tne Sacramento river.
We give below, from the Reading Jour
nal, some extracts of a letter from E. A.
Grosh, formerly a clerk in the Lewistown
Post Office, who is now on his way to the
?nd of golden promise.
TAMPICO. Mexico, March 29, 1349.
Tampico River is formed a lew miles
&i/)ve the city by the junction of the Tarn
?see and Pennica rivers. The Tampico
H about as wide as the Schuylkill, but very
deep. The Bar at the mouth is formed of
i cksand washed up from the sea by the
*urf. and down the river by the current.
Tiie depth of the water on the bar 19 sel
dom more thin eight feet, sometimes only
six, so that only vessels of light draught
<-an pass up the river. The mouth of the
river i* very narrow —not more than 50
yards wide at most--but it immediately
twelh out into a large river.
Ae arrived ofF the bar for the second
'•me on Friday oventng, March 23d, and
rext morning passed up the river to Tarn
pico—7 miles—and never did any thing
to fine as the land to us, afier being
up for three weeks or more in the
narrow compass of a schooner. The sce
nery depends principally for its charm on
'he vegetation, which is very luxuriant,
a r "l decidedly tropical. The orange,
pdm, banana, and lime were quite abun*
d=tn, arid were pointed out to us by Capt.
West, as we passed along the shore.
f ampico i l * situated on the river, seven
'•"leg from the sea, and certainly the pic
u pieserits to an American is very
inking. The houses are mostly of one
Hory, and of stone, plavlered. Many of
e belter class of buildings are arched,
liicre are very few windows, and fewer
'. rnneys to the houses. The front of
~:h house can be opened to the street by
massive doors, one- of each, say in
icii front, being used as a door, and the
''•mainder strongly grated with iron bars.

DIFFICULTIES L.\ CANADA.
For some weeks past a great deal uf ex
citement has been created iu Canada by
the passage of a bill making indemnity to
the French population for losses sustained
in the rebellion some years since. The
British population resisted this measure
in a most determined spirit, which finally
resulted in open violence and burning of
the Parliament House. The Telegraph,
under date of Montreal, April 26ih, re
ports as follows :
The Governor came down t<> the Le
gislative Chamber yesterday, and gave tin*
Royal assent to the bill for inJemi.ifying
losses sustained during the rebellion. On
leaving the Parliament House be was
pelted by a mob—mostly Orangemen—
and forced to retire to bis residence in the
country. Last night, while the Assembly
was engaged on the judiciary bill, loud
shouts gave evidence that a riot was fo
menting outside, and before a moment
elapsed a number of stones were thrown
through the windows. The members
rushed behind the Speaker's chair while
stones continued to be thrown incessantly.
The benches were promptly deserted,
as well as the strangers' galleries, and
members were seen flying up stairs to the
library, 'i'he only member visible was
Mr. Stevenson, who had placed himself on
one of the benches between the windows,
and eyed the havoc with the spirit of one
determined not to flinch. The stones for
some time were thrown only hum the front
part of the building, but in n few ininute<
they were thrown from the rear, and in
about five minutes there was not itft an
unbroken light in the whole range. A
slight cessation occurring, several mem
bers entered the house from the lobby;
but the rioters re commenced the attack
from all sides, the house was again cleared
—not one solitary member left—mi-sites
still continuing to enter through '.be shat
tered windows.
The rioters then entered and after de
stroying everything inside, fired the build
ings, winch were totally consumed.
MONTREAL Apiil 23th.
In conseque.nce of the announcement
that the Governor had given orders to put
under arms five hundred French constables,
and the fact that these men actually ap
peared in the streets, the mob became
still moreexasperated.— A party,comp >sed
of twenty English gentlemen, formed them
selves into a body and encountered
armed police, or constables, in the streets,
when quite a fierce engagement ensued.
Shots were exchanged and in the confl.ct
two tnen were badly wounded and others
slightly.—The Government authorities
perceiving that they had adopted rather an
unpopular measure, and in order to preserve
peace, countermanded the order tn regard to
the constabulary force and had them dis
armed.
A public meeting was held on Friday
and largely attended. Petitions which
had been gotten up were presented to thi->
meeting, numerously signed, asking ttie
Queen to recall Lord Elgin and disavow
the rebellion Indemnity Act.
All the hotels of the city are guarded by
armed forces. The garrison have a'so
been fully equipped fur action, and the sol
diery put under strict discipline. Cannon
have been planted in the streets, at difflu
ent points, for the purpose of overawing
the disaffected.
MONTREAL, April 30 5 P. M.
About 0 o'clock on Saturday night, a
few boys assembled in the Day-market.
In the course of the evening their numbers
increased, until H large mob gathered,
which manifested a riotous disposition,
and but lor the efforts of Col. Gregg and
State prisoners, who were liberated at ten
o'clock, much damage would have been
done.—They were finally induced to dis
perse hv their leaders. On Saturday the
city WHS quiet, excepting some considers
ble excitement created by the arrival of n
troop of Cavalry. John Young has been
appointed Chief Magistrate of Montreal.
He is a strong parti/.an, and H supported
by the present ministry. Despatches from
Quebec state that the Governor was
burnt in effigy in that city on Saturday
night. The authorities are using strenuous
measures to preserve the public peace.
fn Upper Canada the same spirit is
manifested, the Gov. being burned in effigy
in many places. At Broukville the an*
thoriiies were compelled to assist in the
ceremony. 'The St. Andrew's Society
and Taistle Curling Club expelled Lord
Elgin to-day. The people are now quiet
upon thn assurance of the Government
that the French shall be disarmed.
Another despatch gives the following
account of the mobbing of the Governor
General:
MONTREAL, April 30—5 P.JM.
Lord Elgin came to towo at 3 o'clock
to day, Ihe carriage was escorted by a
troop ol Provincial Cavalry. The streets
were lined all the way to the Government
louse by the people, who hissed, cursed
and pelied ihe chariot ajj it passed. Op
posite the Government House his Lordship
was struck by a stone on the head and an
e gg in the face. The tronpy were thon sepa
rately cheered. The members of Parliament
then proceeded to the Government House
to present their address. As they passed
through the crowd they were actually cov
ered with dirt anil the yolk ol eggs. The
members wete proceeding in such a plight
escorted by soldiers, to receive the Gov
ernor General of Canada, to present to
him an address from the Parliament, con
gratulating him on the quiet state of the
country.
During the passage ol the members
through St. Paul street, the riot act was
read, and the troops charged. No lives
were lost, though the crowd was very dense.
Ibis is a sign how troops whoso hearts
are with the people, can act, if necessary
The Governor proceeded out of town by
the suburbs.
MONTREAL, 2d May, 1849.
Every thing is at present quiet. No
thing is doing in Parliament. The Legisla
tive Council is holding a session in the vestry
of 1 nnity Church, and are preparing an
address to the Governor General, Lord
Elgin, in consequence of the etfbrts of
influential cit z ns, recommending pacific
measures, there has been no rioting to-day'
PROTECTION AND PRICES.
A correspondent of the New York Tri
bune having expressed doubts whether a
protective tarif] <r>tist not iipcpssarilf raise
price?, the editor of that able paper thus
answers him :
M e have probably answered substan
tia !I y the same question as the above a
d>>zvu times at ltasi, bat Patience is a vir
tue we rejoice in, and do not object to one
more attempt to m :ke clear what need
never have been otherwise.
i'he question, be it remembered, is not
—" Do Protective Duties crer, lor any
period, enhance pi ices7"—for we cheer
fully admit that they do. The point rai-e i
by our correspondent is tins—•' Must not
Protective Duties necessarily raise prices ?
II not, how can they be Proiec ive ? We
will iry to show .
11 we knew what an " Inquirer"' docs
for a living, we would choose an illnstrn
lion drawn from Ins own business, hut be
tug ignorant of this, c will begin with
our own. There was a time, then, when
the 1 ribune did 11 t contain near so much
matter in proportion I > its cost as it d res
now, nor was thai matter procured for it
at anything like mi greit expense. And
yet we are not dung worse than we were
at that tune, hut better. Hhv ? Because
our regular subscription, sale and adver
tising patronage are much greater than
they were in the infancy of our enterprise.
Doubling our patronage Ins enabled os t<>
give each patron more for a thill tr than we
were able to give seven or eight years, ago.
Can it be difficult h>r " An Inquirer" to
apply the rule here indicated to die vat tons
branches of American .Manufacture beside
that ol Newspapers ?
Scrutinize tii business < i any maker of
Scythes, 11OP=, Ax -s, Pen-Knives, Hollow
Ware, or what you please, who lorincilv
sold to the value of lour or five thousand
dollars per vcat, arid who now sells a belter
article to the extent of Filly or Eightv
Thousand Dollars, and vou will find that
whereas he f< ruu-riy just lived, he is u w
making a handsome profit, and yet he s-lis
his wares n it at a higher but at a iowi r
price than formerly. Increased demand
for liis product has enabled—uav. impelled
hint to sell it cheaper, vet make more
money by it. Five per cent, net profit <>n
a business of Fifty Thousand Dollars per
annum is betier than Twenty per cent, on
Five 'Thousand Dollars.
'Take any village when in Five Thou
sane Dollars'worth of goods are annually
sold, and let its trade expand to One Hun
dred Thousand Dollars per. annum, and
you will now obtain goods in that village
at lower prices than before.
These examples sufficiently illustrate a
general law. Our young Manufactures —
exposed to unequal competition with the
older and richer establishments in Europe,
employing the far cheaper Labor of that
Continent, with the main channels of our
Trade in possession of Importers and their
jobbing customers, — maintain a crippled
and precarious existence under a Tariffo!
iw Revenue duties. But shut out by
Protective Duties, the gieat bulk of the
competing Foreign fabrics, and you in
stantly and greatly enlarge the Home
Market for American fabrics. 'Hie estab
lishment formerly having half work and
sometimes waiting months for sales, has
now full employment and ready sales.
The water-power, dam, buildings, &c.,
foirnerly devoted to making live thousand
dollars' worth annually, now answers as
well for twenty five thousand dollars'
worth. And it any one attempts to keep
up the price so as to realize an exorbitant
profit, some one else engages or extends a
rival establishment, undersells hirn, and
brings him down to a lair living rate. Is
not this obvious? And is it hard to spe
that the manufacture is now mnie profita
ble than formerly even at a price some
what diminished.
Iron may seem an exception to the gen
eral rule, because the chief element of its
cost is the direct application of Human
Labor, and ii you quadruple the supply
required you quadruple the cost of produc
ing it, far more nearly than in the case of j
Cloths and Fabrics generally. We cheer- j
fully admit that the immediate effect of a
Protective Tariff on Iron would he an in
creased money price lor Iron in this coun
try. Put we insist that, even at first,
though our annual supply would cost more
dollars, yet it would be paid for with the
aggregate products of less Labor than now. ,
o<>d, Charcoal, Butter, Cheese, Fruits,
\ egetables, &c., &c. would be " turned
in at our widely scattered iron works, at
prices whir h could not be obtained with
our workshops mainly in Europe, and the
Iron Would really cost less, though its
money price would be greater.
But again : Every year that we made
onr own Iron would be extending and
perfecting our Railroad and Canafcom
munic itions between Imn and Coal beds,
and between our Iron-works and the vari
ous sections where Iron is wanted. It
would also be multiplying and pet feeling
onr inventions and processes for the man
ufacture of Iron, and thus reducing the
cost ot the product- The consequence of
an efficient Protective duty on Iron would
be, first, an enhanced price for lion; se
condly, a great diversion of capital and la
bor from other pursuits into iron making,
and a consequent improvement of processes
and communications; and thirdly, a con
sequent increase of the aggregate product
and reduction of the price of Iron.
