From California.
The steamers Empire City, Georgia and
Cherokee, arrived at N. York on Tuesday
t'rom ('hagres, bringing a month's later in
telligence from California and the Pacific.
The Cherokee had on board 100 passen
.rers, and near two millions in gold. The
others also had a large number of passen
iiprs.
&
The steamer California arrived at Pana
ma 011 the 23d, with two hundred and
twenty-three passengers, and #2,500,000
in gold dust.
Passengers report that gold is more
plenty than ever, and that property has
fallen somewhat in price. Provisions and
even luxuries are very abundant in San
Prancisco.
'I he steamer Sarah Sands and propeller
('arolina had gone up full of passengers.
About 3000 still remained upon the Isth
mus, waiting their chances. The rainy
season had not yet set in, and Chagres and
Panama were still healthy. Many rob
beries were daily taking place at Panama
and on the Isthmus.
MATTERS OX THE PACIFIC SlDE. —Since
our last issue for the steamer, many chan
ges have occurred, showing the rapid on
ward course of California. The rains
have ceased, and everything betokens a
revival of the accustomed activity in busi
ness circles.
The immigration from the States is be
ginning to pour in upon our shores in one
unbroken current, and the steamers plying
upon our rivers are crowded to their ut
most in the conveyance of passengers and
freight to the various cities and towns in
the great interior valleys, ami to the differ
ent mines.
Our accounts from the mines are relia
ble, and all concur in stating the inexhaus
tible quantity of the precious metal. In
fact, it is the opinion of the oldest miners
—those who have spent the past winter in
the mountains—that the same ground
worked over last year will be found far
more productive this ; while at the same
time additional and extensive districts are
being opened which will give profitable
employment to hundreds of thousands for
a generation to come. In our paper will
be found many interesting details from the
mineral region.— Pacfc News, .tfpril Ist.
From the Pacific Sews, March 30.
THE SAX JOAQUIN VALLEY. —We leant
from a friend that the travel towards the
southern mines is increasing every day,
and the prospects in that region, the com
ing season, ajre more flattering than last
year. New placers are discovered as ex
plorations are made by our adventurous
citizens, and new towns laid out as the
population increases. * Stockton is said to
be growing rapidly, and business becoming
brisk as the roads to the mines become
passable.
The new city of, San Joaquin,of which
we have before spoken favorably, is in
creasing with magical speed, and will be
come this season a town of great impor
tance and extensive trade. We do not
know of a new city in the Valley, or
State, that is more advantageously situated
on high and beautiful ground, or which
offers greater inducements for settlers.
SPURIOUS GOTLD DUST. —We understand
from unquestionable authority, that a large
amount of metal purporting to be and
bearing the semblance of gold.dust, was
received in this port per steamer Califor
nia, having been shipped from some of the
Mexican ports on the Pacific coast.
The day previous to the sailing of the
California, the Collector of Customs, in
San Francisco, was notified that the inon
collected for duties must be paid over
to Slate Government, in accordance with
a resolution passed by the Legislature.
A law has passed the Legislature, im
posing a tax of twenty-live dollars a month
on every foreigner who works in the
mines.
The Stockton Times, of the 23d March,
speaks of a lump of gold weighing one
hundred ounce* having been found a few
days before at Fremont's camp. The
ninety-three pourrder found some days be
fore, has been seen by the editor of the
Times, and he estimates only one-tweilth
of it gold.
THE SONORIAN LUMP OP GOLD.—WE
have seen the eighth wonder of the world '
We have held in our hands the Sonorian
lump of gold, weighing 22lbs 602. Dur
ing the month of January of the present
year, three Sonorian Mexicans were fol
lowing their mining pursuits in the arroyo
of the town of Sonorn, and discovered
this " pile." Messrs, Green and Holding,
the present owners, have again been of
fered #2OOO for it above its intrinsic value.
It is estimated that there are about four
pounds of common quartz mixed up with
the precious metal, as is generally the case
111 large specimens. We believe it is the
intention of Messrs. Green K. Holding t<>
send it to the States.— Stockton Timet.
A LUCKY FELLOW. —An hombre came

FOREHCY ITEMS.
1 RANCE. /he Accident at Angers. —The
subjoined details of a sad accident vvfuch oc
cured at Angers, to the bnttalion of tlio 11th
Regiment, on its way from Satimur, are given
in the Journal de Maine el Loire ot the 16th:
At 11 o'clock this morning a squadron ot
hussars, coming from Nantes, had crossed over
the suspension bridge ot the Basse Maine,
without any accident, although the wind blew
very heavily from the west, and the river was
much agitated. The last of the horses had
scarcely crossed the budge, when ttie head of
the column of the 3d buttalion ot the llth
Light Infantry appeared on the oilier side.
Reiterated warnings were given to the troops
to break into sections, as is usually done, but
the rain falling heavily at the time th; warn
ing was disregarded, and the battalion advanced
in close column. The head of the battalion
had reached the opposite side —the pioneers,
the drummers, and a part of the band were
oil'the bridge, when a horrible crash was
heard : the cast iron columns of the right bank
suddenly gave way, crushing beneath them the
rear of the 4ill company, which, with the (lank
company, had not entered on the bridge. Of
those that escaped with their lives, there is
scarcely one but has received wounds from the
bayonets of his opinrades.
The suspension bridge which has fallen was
built 12 years ago, but a year since underwent
repairs which cost the town about 36,000f.
The suspending chains at first gave way, on one
side only, when the soldiers on the bridge, feel
ing the movement ot 'he floor of the bridge,
naturally rushed to the other side, when the
chains there also gave way, and the whole
floor of the bridge fell. From one bank to the
other the river was completely blocked up with
the soldiers struggling to reach the shore. If
the weather hat! been calm, the greater num
ber of them would, in ail probability, have
been saved The wind, however, blew a per
fect hurricane, andtbe waves were very rough.
Masses of ruen might be seen clinging to each
other, the waves every moment washing avvav
some of them, untii only one remained.—
Beams of wood, planks, and every article that
could be laid hold of. were launched, to enable
the men to keep themselves afloat until further
assistance could arrive. Ten o'clock—The
muster roll has just been culled over. Of the
Ist, 2<l and 3d companies there only remain 14,
16 and 19 men respectively. The number de
ficient amounts to 2f9, to which must be added
33 dead and 30 wounded in the hospital,making
the total loss to the battalion 282. The num
ber of bodies picked up to this time amounts
to 123.
ITALY.— Pius the 9 th at Route. —The arrival
of the Pope at Rome has been announced by
telegraph to the people of Paris. According
to the government version," the whole city ex
pressed the greatest jov, and the population
went out to meet him." 'The real accounts,
when they are received, will he interesting.
The King of Naples accompanied the Pontiff
to the frontier, and was moved to tears at the
parting. Perhaps some recollection of his last
excursion to the Roman States, when he was
chased out ct them by Carribaldi, may have
j mingled with his emotion.
Great precautions are said to be taken to pre
serve the Pope from assassination. No person
is allowed to approach him, except by permis
sion of Cardinal Antinello.
letters state that the Pope, since his return,
has drawn up several decree, which have been
suppressed by the Cardinals.
One account states that llie Holiness ts little
less than an Austrian prisoner.
The first regiment of French Dragoons have
left Rome for France.
SYRlA.— Layard's Movements. —Mr. Lay
ard and his party are still carrying on theirex
cavafion at Nimrod and Nineveh. A large
number of copper vessels, beautitully engraved,
have been found in the lortner, and from the
latter a large assortment of fine slabs, illustra
tive of the rule, conquests, domestic life, and
arte of the ancient Assyrians, are daily coming
to light, and are committed to paper by the
able artist.. Mr. Cooper, one of the expedition.
Mr. intend* to make a trip to the Cha
boor, the Chaboras of the Romans, and to visit
Reish Aina, the Resin of Scripture, where he
hopes to find a treasure of Assyrian remains.
MISCELLANEOUS —A Congress of Sovereigns
is about to assemble at Dresden.
A very important movement has taken place
in France, which affects the Roman Catholic
Church. The Abbe Herandeau has called a
convocation of the clergy, to take into consid
eration how the Church may be " restored to
its primitive simplicity, and cured of its abu- i
ges." The Archbishop has forbid the clergy
to attend.
The blockade of Greece has already dam
aged the commerce of that country to the ex
tent of ten millions of dollars.
After two years' mterva', the French and |
Spanish governments have resumed their di
plomatic intercourse.
Six companies of the National Guard have
been suspended for electing a socialist captain.
Ate detirri was performed on the 20th, for
the Pope's return to Rome, to which court, M.
Raymond has been appointed Plenipotentiary.
, AUSTRIA. —The difficulty between Austria
and the Porte has been settled. The Porte has
| sent autograph letfers to the Queen of England
and President of France, HI acknowledgement
I of their friendly aid in the extradition question.
Russian troops are said to have commenced
to evacuate the Danubian Provinces.
GREECE. —The mission of Huron Gros from
the French Government has, it is said, proved a
failure.
Admiral Parker still retains possession of the
Greek vessels.
The difficulty with England appears as far
from a settlement as ever.
Spain —'J'he President of France is reported
to have demanded the hand of Infanta't, sister. 1
j A considerable amount of sickness is at
j present prevailing on board the steamers
on the Western rivers. The Hiram Tow
ers, at Louisville from New Orleans, had
eiht or ten eases of sickness and one death
on hoard. The Bostona, at the same place,
Had two deaths, and some half dozen
eases resembling cholera. The latter boat
reports that when she left New Orleans j
! the steamer St. Louis was there, having 011
hoard 000 emigrant passengers for St.
Louis, There was much sickness among
them, and forty cases of cholera were re
ported, most of which are likely to prove
fatal,
I'iom the National Intelligencer.
The Administration and its Knenile*.
In addition to daily assaults by the Opposi
tion organ in lliis city —which, from the mo
notony of its abuse and misrepresentation, have
ceased to attract particularattention—the Tel
egraph lines an 1 the .Mails have been put in re
quisition to disperse over the country the most
unfounded and unjust representations respect
ing the relations which exist between the Pres
ident of the United States and Members of his
Cabinet, and between the President and the
two houses of Congress.
The following paragraphs, for example form
part of the Washington letter ot April 11, in
the Journal of Commerce of Saturday ; which
ftie more deserve notice, because of the general
accuracy as to facts ot the Washington Corres
pondent of that paper:
" The trnfh is that a great number of disap
pointed whigs, forming a majority of the party
[in Congress,] are hostile to the Cabinet, and
moving every means of turning them and their
adherents out of ofliee.
" They have made some progress in the
scheme, and expect to accomplish it. They
have undoubtedly won the President over to
them; for he is very much worried by the re
presentations that his own lienor is implicated
in the transactions which are alleged to be of
doubtful propriety.
'•The President has intimated a strong dis
j position to follow the suggestions ot his friends,
and form a new Cabinet. In that case, the old
1 Cabinet must go out, as it came in, a unit."
Of these statements, we teel authorized to
' say, every one is erroneous, in whole or in
; part.
'That there are some Whigs in Congress w ho
are unfriendly to the Cabinet, we do not doubt.
No Cabiuet has ever existed, within our knuwl
i edge, which had not enemies in Congre>s. even
among those who assisted to place them in
I power. During the pure and upright Admin
; ifetrntion of the late President ADAMS, for ex
ample, tfime was always a strong opposition,
| in bolh Houses, not only to the President, but
•to the members ot the Cabinet. But there is
j no reason, as far as vveare informed, to suppose
that the adversaries of the present Admini.-tra
tton constitute '• a majority"of the Whig party
in the two Houses, or in either House ot Con
gress. We trust and believe thai it is not true
j that even those Whigs who are unfriendly to
the Administration are •' moving every means"
to turn the Heads ot the Executive Depart
! ments out of office. Sure we are, that it is no
part of the proper vocation of Members of Con
gress, individually or collectively, to turn Mem
bers o! the Cabinet "and their adherents" out
of office : and not less sure are we, that, should
any attempt be made to encroach upon the
functions ot the Executive in that particular, it
would meet with a decisive and constitutional
; rebuke. We should be very loth and very sorry
to believe that they ("the disappointed Whigs")
have made any progress in such a "scheme."
If they " expect to accomplish it," thej surely
■ deceive themselves.
It is not true that the enemiesof ilieCabinet
" have won the PRESIDENT over to them n< r
is it true tiiat " the President has intimated a
strong disposition" to "form a new Cabinet-
There exists, we have reason to know, entire
concord between him and his Cabinet: and
there is not, we verily believe, a single mem
ber of the Cabinet, who wouid not retire from
his station instantaneously on discovering that
his presence in the Council Chamber was not
desired by the President. There is not, we
are persuaded, one ol thrm who is not affection
ately and deeply attici/ed to the President, and
proud that he enjoys the Coteem and confidence
ot that eminent man. Nor N therein fact any
division,or any want of harmony, between the
President and the members of the Cabinet.
Sincere friends to the President, grateful for
the services which he has rendered, and those
which he is now performing for his country, we
are rejoiced to be able to say, as we now do
upon the best authority, that there is not a
shadow ot truth in the rumors respecting the
relations between the President and the Cabi
net to which we have, in the preceding para
graph referred.
The " transactions" which are represented to
have " worried" the President are, we suppose,
the settlement at the Treasury, uoon principles
of s'atute and public law, of certain claims, the
amount of which constitutes the chiet ground
of objection to them To suppoae that the
" honor" of the President could be in any way
" implicated in these transactions," is an as
sumption obviously gratuitous.
To understand why these claims have been
adjusted under the present Administration, it is
sufficient for the reader to learn that there were
many claims left unsettled by the late Adminis
tration, and thrown upon the present Adminis
tration for adjustment, the labor devolved by
which upon different branches ot Ihe Govern
ment has greatly embarrassed the several De
partments, and the amount of which has given
rise to the clamor which has been raised 011 the
subject.
It is enough further to say that the claims
objected to have been settled strictly according
to law and usage; and that contrary to what
has been pretended in some quarters, no claim
upon the Government, which had been settled
and closed, has been reopened under this Ad
ministration except in obedience to instructions
by Congress.

but recently of Baltimore, accidentally fell
overboard from the steamer Princeton,
when about two miles from St. Charles,
and, although an expert swimmer, the
coldness of the water ami the weight of
his clothes caused him to sink before the
yawl, which was immediately lowered,
could reach him. He was on his way to
California, across the Plains.
