The amount ofgold actually received from California, m jhe United Slates has been in* significant, hardly exceeding a quarter ol a million. We have exceedingly vague and ambiguous state ments of the shipment of some three-or four millions more to England, Mexico, Peru, and this country. But it is remarkable that we have no accounts of any shipments having been made from California, nor indeed any gold having been obtaiwd, since the early part of December, notwithstanding that our advices now come down to March Ist It may be, that much of the gold dug, op to the close of the mining season in December, has been re uined in the districts where and that we shall have heavy returns when the snow and ice melt and disappear from the vallies of the streams ’ tbe crevices of the Sierras, and after the com plete renewal of communication witbvSan Fran* cisco'-bui 1 doubt.

We believe that this mierpns* .* beyond the means of individual effort to accom plish, ns circumstances now exist. Are the Conn cils of the City of Pittsburgh prepared to suffer it to languish, if not to die’ W|eare in possession ol tho only cbsrter by which this city can reach the in terior of Ohio and the Lakes. No suck privileges as it contains will again, m ell probability, ever be granted for a like purpose by the State of Ohio, having by the repeal of the Ohio and trie charter, authorising a road alongghe lake shore, shut her out from New York,in that direction she will be .0 no mood to grant us access to her interior by fu* lure legislation, for our benefit; and we see that Virginia has refused, by a recent decision, to grant os the right of way through her territory ;to Steu» benville, regarding such privilege “as a connecting link to be used by Pittsborgh with Western com panies” for penetrating the Slate of Ohio. Such is the position of affairs at present. It cannot be deni ed that for Pittsburgh mleresU, it is a critical one. it is in your power to secure them against •very invasion; but be not you the absence of all effort and exertion to defend those interests from encroachment, both on the North and South going on before your eves. We do not wish to weary you, or to be Importu nate. It ts an affair in which all, every one, has an Interest at stake; we shall therefore bring this communication to a close, by staling that the coun ties of Columbiana, Stark and Wayae, through I which the contemplated road will pais, assure the board that adequate means for grading u&d bndg I j ng the road through their territories will be forth- I coming at once, provided we in Pennaylvauia will i meet their work in like manner, at Ike date line. ! Provision for that purpose, therefore, ifroade at all, will chiefly fall upon these cities We invite your 1 serious consideration of the subject; we ask you to 1 do your part for the promotion »( this enterprise.— We' (runt with confidence that the Councils of the city of Pittsburgh will perceive that they ate eonsuiiiiig the beat Interests of their constituents bv authoring a tuUcriplion U> the stock of the Ohio at.i pennsylvauirrailroad, to thf amount of two hundred thousand dollars, in the Bonds iff the city redeemable at such, folate period as you may consider advisable, conditioned, that the oompaoy provide for all accruing interest thereon, until ib* work l>e completed—mod with the further provi uon that a similar amount be subscribed by re sponsible individuals, to tbe stock of tbs company, -—*Jl of which is submitted, by the Directors of the Ohio and Pennsylvania Rail Road Company.

The jury retired . -fa o'clock on Thursday night, and remained out . until about eleven o’clock ou Friday morning,when they tent down a petition to the court pray mg l be released, as they could not possibly affree.
