NKW Y ORK, March 19. -p steamship Northern Light, from As v i'l arrived at Sandy Hook last evening, '??.viciied her dock a little after ten o'clock ! . , u iiimr. bringing dates from San Francis . the 26th of February, brought down by .'eainship Uncle Sam. V L. brings*2o2 passengers, and $92,- i u gold. iju-iness at San Francisco was entirely pros ... ! caused by the suspension of five banking \,i Senator had yet been elected, and there ■ - little prospect of an election. The news of l'age, Bacon & Co.'s difficulty . , San Francisco, on the 17th of Febru r. 'causing a great run on the house, which 'ucver. was promptly met, and over half a million paid out. . . V purling of merchants and bankers was I i",| which declared the house sound, aud this , i,ureiitlv restored Confidence, and affairs denied to* wear a better aspect. On the 22d, however, Page, Bacon & Co. .•M,ended, followed, on the 23d, by Adams A ( Well-. Fargo & Co., Robinson & Co.,aud Wright's Miners' Deposit Hank. The excitement which followed the failures was intense. Adams & Co. closed all their brandies without paying a dollar, except in -bin Francisco, where, on the 22d, they stood a run of $200,000. Wells, Fargo A Co. closed in San Francisco but the country branches paid as long as their coin lasted, and were still paying as fast as ruin could be obtained in exchanged for dust ami Lars. The house, it was announced, would iv-mme in San Francisco on the 20th. It was feared that Adams & Co. could not resume under 60 days if at all. l'mre, Bacon & Co. would probably resume in a lew days, their creditors having granted them time on $400,000. Their assets are large. These failures caused the detention of the steamer until the 2fith. There were rumors of heavy failures among tin merchants, but nothing authentic had been heard. Owing to the continued scarcity of water, hut little gold had been taken from the mines. Heavy rains commenced on the 25th, and Till continued when the steamer left. \o election of U. S. Senator had taken place | and the joint convention had adjourned sim ('■, mi the 16th. by a vote of 63 to 44 ; those voting against the adjournment being princi pally ilie friends of Mr. Gwin. Tin' news from Kern River is*of an exciting 1 cTirarter. The miners are said to be averag- j ing from $l9 to S2U per day. and steamers are ; _ an- down crowded with passengers. On tin* morning of the 18th, the St. Charles i Hole! and 1 Hitman's Hotel, in Sail Francisco, j were destroyed by lire. The loss is $50,090. In Nevada, on the 16th, sixteen houses were burned. A fire had occurred in Stockton on the 21st, liiclt had de-froyed twenty-live houses. Tiie Indian troubles were on the increase, j Further outrages are recorded. Some ten v,hits men, and about' seventy Indians have un killed. Tiie native Californiums have held several nioctimrs in San Francisco, with a view to em igrate to Souora. The Mariposa Gold Mining Comppny, a London concern, has been sold by the Sheriff.

Y., u little boy four y ar of age wandered from the house of his parents. Not returning in a reasonable time, * trcli was made for him, and his tracks were followed to the brink of a pcrjiendicular pre ! one hundred feet in height, which ovcr b-Hjks tin falls. Here they ceased, and his I*rents, knowing that he had fallen over, were uiiio.-t dhtractcd with the thought that lie was probably lying bruised, bleeding aud dead the bottom of the ravine.

If we are to believe the news brought by the last arrival from England, Nicholas of Russia has submitted to the common fate of all men. There are some who doubt the report of his death, circulated as it was in England just as the steamer was about leaving Liverpool, with out giving time tg confirm its authenticity or to show its falsehood. The doubters class it with the k ing rumors of the fall of Sehastopol and the assassination of the Emperor of the French, which, not very long since, had a short currency among us. It is well, no doubt, to withhold absolute credit from all rumors of an important nature coming to us under such circumstances till the proofs of their truth arrive ; but it is proper to remark that the death of Nicholas, at any time within the last six months, has been much more likely to hap pen than the taking of Sebastopol, or the assassination of Napoleon the Third. If Nich olas has not been out off, as is said, by a pul monary apoplexy, the authors of the rumor had the skill to choose for him the most pro bable mode of death. A figure, which seemed ready to burst from the tight garments in which it was swathed, a short neck "an inflamed coun tenance and glassy eyes, were premonitions of apoplexy, which no one would be much surpris prised at seeing fulfilled. The anxieties of the great struggle in which the ambition to extend his dominions had engaged him, first with Turkey, then with France and England, and next, one by one, with other European powers, all of whom were likely to be drawn into the league against him, must have wrought power fully upon such a physical conformation. He was born on the sixth of July, in the year 1196, and was, therefore, not very far from sixty years of age, a time of life in which a temperament like his is apt to give way under strong physical or mental excitement. "lie had embarked in an undertaking 011 which he had staked the integrity of his empire, with all its mighty resources, and which could leave him no repose till he had either added European Turkey, with its magnificent capital, to his dominions or until he had seen some of his fairest provinces wrested from him and his empire reduced to a power of the second rank. That he should l>e taken off by an npoplotic stroke in flic midst of these projects and dangers, is no more improbable in itself than that the same thing should happen to a I'riinc Minister of England. If Nicholas has, in fact, departed this life, his place is filled by Ins eldest son Alexander, the hereditary Grand Duke, who was born on the 29th of April, 1818, and is, therefore, nearly thirty-seven years of age, a time of life in which the character may be supposed to be fully formed. His mother, a sister of the reigning king of Prussia, is celebrated for the gentleness of her disposition and manners, and the beneficial influence she had through life exerted over her stern and passionate husband. •The son is said to inherit the amiable and winning manners of the Empress. He is des cribed as I>f commanding height, fat, and round faced, looking rather like a German than a Russian, his phvsiogomy expressing rather the dreamy quietude of the German character than the distempered and cruel energy of his father. He married a German princess in 1841, and has several children. In what manner the Second Alexander of Russia is likely to hold the reigns of govern ment, and whether he will strictly follow the jKiliey and endeavor to execute the plans of his father, are questions on which it is almost idle to speculate. Considering the age he has reached, and the difference of temperament be tween him and bis father, it would not be at all strange if he nad his own views of the pro per policy of the Russian government, and his own circle of counsellors. Rut if this were so, and if lie were somewhat inclined to liberal I ideas, it does not follow these ideas will I accompany him when he ascends the throne. Many an heir to monarchy puts off his liberal ism when he puts on the crown. If the here ditary prince of Russia possesses the quiet temperament ascribed to him, he will find it easier to govern according to a system the principles of which are already established by a long course of precedents, anil the organi zation of which moves smoothly in a beaten track, than to introduce changes and try ex periments. For thirty years Nicholas has governed Rus sia according to the strictest maxims of abso lution. He has not l>een indiffereirt to the civilization of his people ;on tlie contrary, lie has desired to elevate the condition of the humbler classers. but always in such a manner as should consist with the preservation of all the powers of the government, both nominal and actual. He has desired to civilize the country in such a manner as should exclude the action of public opinion upon the gov ernment, and prevent the people from ques tioning the wisdom of its commands and the propriety of obedience, even in their hearts.— He has always regarded with a certain con tempt the other governments of Europe in which the sovereign finds himself sometimes compelled to defer to the public will, as recog nising two sources of power inconsistent with each other, and as resting upon an insecure compromise between despotism and liberty.— In whatever he may have done to civilize his people, he has allowed 110 partnership of indi vidual co-operation; that the people, as they must look to no other master, may also see no other benefactor than the government. If his reign has closed, the principle of absolutism has lost its most rigid interpreter in the civilized world, as well as the man who enforced it most remorselessly, cruelly and ably. Whether the heir of Nichylas is likely to be swayed by his uncle of Prussia to more pacific counsels than prevailed with his father, is a question which gives some room for conjecture. The Prussian monarch had no influence over Nicholas, and even stood in awe of him. We are yet to see whether his wishes, which are supposed to be in favor of peace, will have any effect upon the milder temper of his son.— Evening Post. " SrsPF.XDERs.'

LATE FROM MEXICO. — BALTIMORE, March 18. —The mail from the South brings us New Or leans papers of Monday last, containing the details of the advices from the city of Mexico to the sth iust. The Heraldoof the 4th iust., says the insurgents were flying before Santa Anna, aud that his presence in the South had been sufficient to cause the most perfect rout of the main body of the insurgent forces. A letter from the Minister of War dated at Ignala, March Ist, says Gen. Moreno had been captured by Santa Anna, and would be execu ted. The rebels had also been routed by the Government troops at I'iedro Gorda. Gen. Ampudia had taken possession of Yu catan, and the war in that province ended. The accounts ore given with the usual Mexi can bombast, and are probably much exagge rated. We have dates from the Rio Grande to the 28th ult., and Gakeston to the lUih iust., but there is no news. NEW ORLEANS, March 13. —1t is reported that Santa Anna has defeated the insurgents, under Moreno, and also compelled the main hotly of the rebel army, under Alvarez, to re tire after a desperate battle, and had returned in triumph to the capital. Brownsville dates of the Ith state that a Mexican steamer was taking troops on board at the mouth of the Rio Grande for Vera Cruz or Tampico. Is THE DEATH OT NICHOLAS A HOAX ! - The Russian Minister at Washington has telegraph ed to New York that the reported death of the Czar Nicholas is an unmitigated hoax. It may be that the Minister is right, and it may be that he is wrong. We do not see how he— residing in Washington—can know any more of the matter than we in Rochester. The Emperor has probably died since the last des patcluMKfor Washington left St. Petersburg— hence the Minister is not posted.— Rochester Union.
