Golden News from tallifornte4
We publish elsewhere in this dors paper • very,
interesting news from California, extracted from the
New-York Tribune, a skeleton ofwhich we present

California, and will create a fresh thirst amongst :

GrAnd Flare Up.
As is usual on Such occasions, the whig Primary
Meeting in the Third Ward on Saturday night, was
; the 'keno of a grand and magnificent flare up, in
C WhiCh decency!' displayed their harmony
and unanimity to the fullest extent. The meeting
is said, by those who were presebt as spectators, to
have been one of the most disgraceful and villainies
affairs that has ever come off in the glorious old
Third. .
At an early hour in the Wining, a few friends of
; one of the candidates for Sheriffalty, assembled
at the School House, andipioceeded at once to or
ganize the Meeting, by the appointment of cut-and
; dry officers- Daniel I.llCtiidy, clerk of the Courts,
;was called to the Chair, and two young gentlemen
appointed Secretaries. Delegates were put in nom.
;illation, and the meeting proceeded to a selection by
marking, the contest , layiog entirely tietweed the
(candidates' for Sheriff. The friends of one of the
'candidates seeing but a poor show for their man ,
challenged almost every voter who came up to mark,
and one of them, a merchant on Market street o even
went so far as to make a grab at the tally papers,but
was prevented by one of the Secretaries from ta
king them, and compelled to make rather a hasty
exit from the stand. Coati were drawn on all aides,
and a general fight appeared inevitable, and was on.
ly quelled by a motion to,,adjourn, to meet at the
!same place this evening, at 4 o'clock, which motion
was carried.
Some of the persons; present fearing that if the tal
,ly papers were not destroyed, an improper use might
be made ofthem, forWthiggery is even afraid to trust
itself, requested the Chairman to destroy them in
presence of the meeting. Instead of complying with
the request, the Chairnian stored them away careful.
'iy in his hat, from where they were very unceremon
ionilisuatched,hy. one ofthe, S,ecrObwien and de-
Moliahed, to the no small edifidatiOn '- of the
i roved: - The party then adjourned to the outside of
the handing, and the noise and tumult created was
sufficient to have frightened from their propriety, a
aettlement of Hottentots.
Such scenes as those are to be expected from the
party claiming all the decency of the city, and we
presume the meeting this evening will be but a re
petition of the affair. We would therefore advise
the Mayor to be ready with a posse to arrest the
*hole crowd for disorderly conduct.

LATE CALLFORMA. NEWS.
AiTitai of Lieut. Beate—.The Stertsitships—,:oo.lcl 4 " 1
Board—Ckort.prdeti-4ic
The steamship Southernor arrived: at NSWYcirk
on-Allonday mornincfroM".Cherleatoo,---having
among ` her passengem Lieutenant Edward Beale,
S. N:, just from California. He has most like
ly brought dispatches for the government, as be
was announced some time ago on the Pacific coast
in that capacity. The New York tribune says':
" Lieutenant Edward Beale left San Francisco
April 14, in the steamer Oregon; and arrived at
San Blas 22d; remained there thiee days (coaling;)
left 27th, and arrived at Panama t hof May, at 9
P. M., after touching at Acapulci for water. On
the 7th arrived at Panama, and left Chagres in
bargiue Florida, and arrived at New Orleans 21st.'
Left at Panama steamships Oregon and Califor
nia. They would leave for San Francisco in 'about
ten days. There were several sailing vessels there,
also fitting up for passengers. The mails brought
by the Oregon and California, were at thelathmus,
waiting the arrival of, a steamer at Chagres.
Lieut. E. Beale has in his possassion a lump of
gold weighing eight pounds, which he brought
from San Francisco.
Lieut. Beak speaks in high terms of the order
maintained by the population on the placers as well
as in the more settled parte.
We have received a copy of Le Trait d'Union,
a French paper published in the city of Mexico,
May 12,5 n which we find advices from California
to April 9.
Gen. Smith published on the Ist of April a cir
cular whose provisions are of considerable import
once. After proclaiming that the fiscal and other
laws of the United States were in force over the
Territory of California, he announces that mer
chandize subject to duty cannot be disembarked at
any port, since no officer has been appointed by
Congress to receive such duties. He also informs
all adventurers who go to seek gold on the public
lands of California; that by doing so they infringe
the established laws and render themselves liable
to fine and imprisonment."
The New York letter, oft:Tuesday evening, in
the Philadelphia American, gives the following
further particulars:
The Oregon and California would return to San
Francisco in about ten days. The Oregon took
sail to San Bias, where she took in a supply of
coal, and the California got a small supply at San
Francisco, from an English vessel at $4O per ton,
The Panama had not arrived at Panama when
Lieut. Beale was there, but doubtless arrived soon
after, and it is probable that no difficulty existed
in getting along from the isthmus on the way
north. The crew of the Oregon, on her arrival at
San Francisco, were put in ironsaud kept on board
of the Ohio. They were only put back upon the
Oregon:the night before she sailed. The crew of
the California was mostly made up of sailors pick.
ed up at San Francisco at $lOO per month; stew.
aril, cook, &c., $l5O per month. The Oregon
furnished the California with an engineer, taken
up at Mazatlan, where be had arrived from the
United States. These steamers will now proba•
bly make their regular trips, and persons will go
regularly forward from Panama. The amount of
gold on board these ships is not distinctly stated,
but from the best information I can obtain, the
Oregon had $150,000 and the California $200,000.
More could have been taken, but bills of lading i
through to the States could not be obtained. Gold '
was selling at $l6 per ounce, and was very abun
dant.
$9,690
6.70
43,560
135,830
789
The arrivals at San Francisco were very
numerous daily, and Lieut. Beale thinks there were
60 to 70 vessels at anchor, The town was very
full, but not so full as it would bate been, but for
the large numbers who were every day going up
to the mines AU the accommodations in the city
were crowded, and two-tbirds of the people were
camped out. A small room in a shanty ten feet
square, rented at $3 per day, Bonnl in good houses
was $lO per day. The merest day laborer re
ceived 616 per day. There was considerable diffi
culty in getting up to the mines, in consequence
of the lack of conveyance, and the pricesof trans
port were exceedingly high. Persons were coming
in daily from the plater nith gold. There ap
pears to be no limit to the amount of gold to be
obtained. Lieut. &ale brings with him a
,eingle
lum of gold, which I have seen, weighing eight
pounds, troy, and worth about SI,SOO. This is
much the largest bou/drr ever brought to this
country. The population at Santa Fe are repre
sented to be now a highly respectable and quiet
one. The only law is Lynch law, which is exe
cuted in the most stringent manner. Lieut. &ale
heard of no outrages of any kind while he was
there. He arrived at Santa Fe on the let April,
from the States, via the Rocky Mountains. He
heard of Fremont being on the Gila, on his way
to Santa Fe, and saw Mrs. F. at Panama.
The Mobile Advertiser, received last night, has
au interesting account obtained from Lieut. Beale,
as he passed through from New Orleans. After
giving the particulars of his adventurous journey
out over the Rocky Mountains with despatches to
Santa Fe, California and aregon, losing several
men in the snows, with other matters, in Califor
nia, it says:
Lieut. Beale informs us that the rumor of a mu
tiny on the Ohio is without foundation, as every
thing was in a most perfect stateof subordination
on that vessel the night before he left. Gov.
Smith having entrusted him with despatches for
our Government, he took passage from San Fran
cisco. At San Bias he received information from
a party of Mexicans who bad been trading among
the Indians, of the safe arrival in the country of
Col. Freernont and party. That gallant officer
had proceeded across the desert (or San Francis.
co.
At Panama, Lieut. Beale MN Mrs. Fremont,
with Mr. Jacobs, her brother in law, and commu
nicated the .news concerning her husband. She
bad previously received accounts from the United
States, of his difficulties and of his fortunate es
cape. About two thousand persons ate awaiting
at Panama for transportation to San Francisco.
About three hundred of these, including Mrs.
Freemont, would tale passage in the Oregon. The
California was to leave San Francisco the day af
ter Lieut. Beale, with Mrs. Persifer Smith, and a
number of other ladies returning to the United
States. With this party Col. Mason would also
return.
MORE CALIFORNIA PARTICULARS.
Diamonds and Emeralds found.
We learn from the New York Tribune of Wed.
fluidity morning, that Mr. Parrott, our consul at Ma
zatlan, is now in that city, having left Mazatlan
April 10, and come overland through Mexico.
lie reports having met with companies continual..
ly during his overland journey. The road to the
Pacific /11 lined with them, and they are all, so far as
he saw, doing well.
There were four o f five vessels at Mazatlan and
two or three at San Blas,'lor California. The price
of passage varied from 9110 to 9250, according to
the accommodations.
Mr. Parrott , s visit to the placers was undertaken
for the purpose of inhuming himself, and hie reve
lations are oven more astonishing than any which
have previously reached us.
The limits of the placers toward the south are
constantly being extended by new discoveries; the
northern districts, owing to their remoteness from
civilization, have not yet been fully explored. The
earth, In some places, have been dug to the depth of
9 feet, and the proportion of gold found to he quite
as great as on the surface. The richness of the dry
diggins Is in some places almost incredible. Mr.
Parrott estimates that the amount of gold which will
he obtained the present year at thirty million dollars.
But the richness of California do not consist in I
gold alone. All the, precious. metals are therefound,
in greater or kin' profusion, as well as the rarest
and most valuable jewels. Two mines of silver
have been lately discovered, one of which Is known
to but few pennies, who jealously keep the secret.
PlatinuM is also' known to exist in considerable
quantities.
A rough diamond, nearly the size of a heats egg,
has been found by ono of the miners in the Sacra
mento Valley. Gen: Veneto, who wee Mr. Parrott's
informant, says that it was brought to him by the fin-
der, who demanded 9180,000 for it. Emeralds of
large size are frequently met with, but their value
is scarcely known. -
Three or four new quicksilver mines have been
discovered, one of which, a very rich deposit, lies
between the valley of Santa'Clara And San Joaquin.
The Forbes mine, however, is the only one worked
as : 'yet. The extent and value of these quicksilver
mines is not equalled by any. other locality in the
- - -
Beds or coal have also beetvfound near the coast,
but cannot or course berWorked' under 'the present
state - of things. •
Mr.i - Farnittitilbittia us that in the Sierra Nevada,

in ectivi operation: , -On the 3d.of. March the hear

There are but 50 women in the town of San Fran
cisco, 20 of whom are Americans.
The price of lots in-the town is, as before stated,.
enormous. The sales took place, however, with lit
tle regerd to the title of the property, nod-as there
are two or three separate claims upon a great part of
it, this may lead to great difficulty in the future.—
Sometimes the_same land Is' sold to different parties
by two Alcaldes. . '
The U. S. sloop of.wat Dale, which sailed from
San Francisco for tfici . U. S. on the 20th March, has
$200,000 in gold dust on board.
• Nearly the whole of Capt. Sutter's 40,000 bushels
of grain rotted in the fields, for the want of somebo
dy to harvest.it. •
The price'of flour, at the diggings when Mr. Par
rott left was $3 per lb., though at San Francisco it
was down to $lO per barrel:
There Wee not much sickness at the diggings, ex
cept scumy and a few cases of fever. There was
also some scurvy at San Francisco, owing to the want
of vegetable food, the cultivation of the soil being
entirely neglected.
. .
The National Whig constantly insinuates that
those persons who have been removed from office,
were either dishonest or incapable, in reply to
which, the Mobile Advertiser, a leading Whig
print, has the following rebuke:
"The doctrine of the Whig leads to the inevi
table conclusion that every man removed by Gen.
Taylor was either incompetent or dishonest ; and
hence removal carries with:it personal insult and
disgrace. We are not prepared to consent to any
such doctrine ; rather, we enter our solemn protest
against it. Probably, as a general rule, the gen
tlemen removed are as unexceptionable, morally
and socially, as competent, and as much beloved in
all the private relations of life, as theirsuccessors.
Such is the case we know in this city, and we
would be the last man who would admit any doc
trine that could be construed into an assault on
their character and reputation as gentlemen.
They were removed purely and exclusively on po
litical grounds. There is no mistakeabout it, and
it is utterly useless for any one to pretend to the
contrary. They were removed on political con
siderations, and on that ground and that alone are
we prepared to defend the act of removal. We
want nothing better. We despise all these cow
ardly subterfuges. Why attempt to dodge and
evade the real point and true issue in this matter
of removal There is but one honest and correct
view for Whigs to take, and that is, that it is the
duty of the Administration to remove Democrats
and put Whigs in their stead—and why quibble
about it and try to dodge it Let us be honest to
ourselves, and just to our opponents."
The Reston Post is responsible for the following.
Who can beat it?
An aged minister was officiating for the 'first
time at a public service of congregation in Geor
gia, who had been accustomed to having the
'hymn lined,' as it is termed, The venerable man
could not see distinctly; and designed to dispense
with singing. To announce his purpose, he arose
and said—
"Mine ishe are tim; I cannot see,"
and immediately the chorister, commenced sing
ing the line to the tone of , Old Hundred.' Surprise
and mortification rendered the minister almost
speechless, but be managed to stutter out—
"I left mine spec at home"—
This line was immediately sung by the congrega
tion, and the minister, now quite excited, exclaim
ed—
"You ish de tamest took I ebber see,"
but the singing proceeded, and the couplet was fin
ished by his troubled and betieeching explanation—
_

Bzurstr.-4t is, scarcely worth our while to Mt*
tion that Mr. Crisp's benefitcomes off this evening.
The simple announcement' is sufficient of itself:to.
cram theßifili street TeMple to overffiawini. : -As-a
general Actor, Mr. Crisp has but few equals in the
country, During his short stay among us; he iris;
we are rejoiced to see, become a universal favorite
with the patrons of the Drama, and we have no
doubt but that his friends and admirers will turn ou t
en masse tonight, to give him proof of their favor.
The bill offered is a very attractive one.
Coticcar.—We would again invite the attention
of our . readers to the Concert of" Little Mary Shaw,'
which is to come off at the. Apollo Hall, this even.
jog. We have had the pleasure of listening to the
sweet warbling of Mrs. Mary Shaw Fogg, and do
not exaggerate, when we say that her voice rivals
in sweetness, the note, of the nightingale. Attend
her concert this evening, rind if you are not delight
ed, we know nought of music
T.
AREPTITM.—A gentleman of our acquaintance,
who has been spending a few weeks in Tarentum,
assures us that it is one olthe most delightful coon.
try villages within twenty miles of the city. Such
being the case, we would advise persons wishing to
purchase and reside in the country, to pay a visit to
Tarentum, and if possible obtain a site. The vil
lage is situated on the Pennsylvania Canal,,and a trip
could not help but prove agreeable and pleasant.,
Woutzuer on Dear.n.—Two young gentlemen,
who, on account of the extreme heat, yesterday, had
been "smiling " pretty freely, in the afternoon were
crossing the old Allegheny Bridge, and, when near
the centre, one bantered the other to leap from the',
Bridge into the river, a distance of acme forty feet.
The banter was scarcely made when the young gen
tleman, "accoutred as he was," made the fearful
leap. Skiffs were immedintely despatched from the
shore to his rescue, and when taken from the water
MIS more dead than alive. Wo presume that be
will not repeat the leap again:
Sacarrreurr.—The result of the . Whig primary
meetings in the city and county, on Saturday, as far
as beard from, appear to place the contest entirely
between Carter Curtiss and Epbram Jones. Mr. BP--
Gill and the innumerable other aspirants, so far,
have been thrown entirely in the shade.
_
Cr - macaw/10s Ptatros.--One of these sweet toned
and highly popular instruments, will be used at Mrs:
Fogg'a Grand Goncert, to-night. It has been pc).

PROPOSALS. -By referring to our editorial columns
it will be Been that the building committee have is
sued proposals for the erection of the Western Penn
sylvanian Hospital buildings. We are glad to see
these steps taken, and presume the building will
soon be under contract.
INCORRECT! —The city telegraphic reporter for the
Eastern papers states that the Relief meeting was
very numerously attended. He could not probably
have been there or he never would have wrote the
statement.
Snairmo.--Those polite and gentlemanly barbers,
Blatkion & Fountain, have not only refitted in a
superior style, their shaving Saloon in the Diamond,
but have procured the servicea of come of the most
accomplished Shavers and Hair Dressers in the city.
Shaving under their hands is a luxury frequently to
be sought after.
Involatanon.—lnformstion was made at the
Mayor's Office, on Saturday, by Pres. Wall, against
a colored fellow named. Frank Morris, for assault
and battery. Morris brandished a big bowie knife,
and wanted to cut Wall", head off. He was held to
