which must number at least ten thousand
more. • •
Emigration still continues, awl large
numbers, froin all parts of the world, flow
in daily; many remain, and try their for
tunes' in politics And speculations ; others,
less ambitious of fame, leave fbr the mines;
the majority, hoWever, take the latter
,course, and, although their work is hard
and their privations great, manage, in a
little time, 'to realize a portion of their an
ticipations. The traffic on the rivers, at
present, is immense. Some ninety ves

DISCOVERY OF A VEIN OF GOLD

" From the Alla California, Semi.'tuber 13.
Col.. J, C. Freemont has denounced a
•
tract of land lying on the Mariposa river,
"about 40 miles mom the San Joaquin, up
on, which has been recently discovered an
eiceedingly rich vein of gold. The Mar
iposa (or butterfly) liver, wasa few months
~since visited by a party conducted by this
emjnont explorer, and washings establish
ed aloni the stream. The land occupied
l,y this,party was conveyed to the Col.
in 1846, and the mines thereupon having
.been regularly denounced, according to
Mexican law, measures have been taken
to work them. The vein is about two
AO : in thickness at the surface, and is
• found in the usual strata of quartz. The
„yield
is about Boz. of gold to 100 lbs. of
'melt. A specimen was exhibited at this
Office a few days since, together with a
mass of gold extracted by quicksilver,
weighing about three ounces. There is
every reason to believe that this vein may
be traced many leauges in extent, and be
found of uninterrupted richness. The gold

the same declaration in favor of Islamism.
Kossuth who was greatly irritated against
Bern, went immediately to the Hungarian
camp, and informed the men thatta Por
te resisted the demands of Russia • and'
Austria, and that England and France
appeared decided to assist the Porte, and
that he supplicated them not to imprint a
stain on the flag f Christian Hungary,
which they had always served with honor.
Some words from .Kossuth havinu b given
rise to the opinion that Bern and his com
panions had yielded to the promises of
the Porte, a great agitation showed itself
in the Hungarian camp, and it was at one
time feared that a disturbance would take
place. Dembimski has acted differOntly.
He has not become a Mussulman, but he
has openly acknowledged that the Porte
had nothing whatsoever to do with the ab
juration of Rem and his companions, and
he has even written letters to the Grand
Vizier and the Seraskier, in which he ex-
presses his gratitude. Bem is now called
Murad Paella. All the refugees, without
distinction, arc treated with kindness and
humanity.
AU STRIA AND HER DEPEND
ENCIES.
A letter from Vienna of the Bth of Oc
tober, published in the Prussian Monitcur,
says, "The organization of the army is
going on with great activity. Marshal
Radetzky shows an ardor which 13 hardly
credible. The two armies in Bohemia
and in the Voralberg will be completed at
the end of the month."
The appointment of Prince Lichtenstein
as provisional commander of Hungary, is 1
explained by the Prague papers to have
been caused by Baron I laynau havino ,
given in his resignation, especially because
it was known that Baron Havnau was
moved to this step by his disgust at has
ing some of his measures contravened,
and others mitigated, by the Austrian cab-
Met. I3aron Ilaynau, it appears, com
plains that his authority has been disre
garded by those who presumed to execute
Count Batthyani, by shooting that noble
man, it being Baron Haynati's express
command that the Count should die by the
hands of the common hangman.

posed to submit the difficulties existing to

Hyatt, Consul General of the United States
in Morocco, but that the French, were not
then prepared to refer the matter to arbi

It is 4trangq that these costly ndmdnitiOns
do not protect us from the increase of an
evil of so alarming a character. We see
whole communities impoverished—lionest
toil plundered—the widow and the orphan
swindled—and yet we not only hesitate'
about applying the rigorous corrective, but
stand by and let the system be extended
and perpetuated. The New York Police
Gazette notices the last instance of bank
dishonesty, as exhibited by the failure of
the Morris, N. J., Bank. It states that it
gat into the hands, principally, of a Yan
kee financier named Thompson, by his
purchasing a considerable amount of new
stock, for which very. little money was
paid, who at• once commenced scattering
the notes most profusely in every direc
tion. Not• succeeding, however, in the
extent of his wishes, in this, an agent was
despatched west, with a large amount of
these uniserable•"promises to pay on de
mand." We copy from the Gazette :
"While things were in this state,Thomp
son cleared out one fine morning, taking
with him some twenty thousand dollars
more in notes, for the purpose, as he said, I
of exchanging them at the east, promising I
to return on a certain day, when the bank
had several heavy engageMents to meet.
On the day set, however,'ffie bank looked
for him in vain, but in lieu of his appear
ance they received a letter from him, sta
ting that they need not expect him ; that
he was a ruined man ; and that his dis
tress was so extreme, that it was impossi
ble for him to• give an account of any of
the money he, had taken off, or otherwise
abstracted from the bank. The officers
of the bank now fully opened their eyes.
It was plain that Mr. Thompson was A
rascal, and the thunderclap of a new loss,
which was revealed to them at this time,
convinced them that they ought to look af
ter him at once, They received news of
the failure of the Susquehanna Bank,
whose notes, to the extent of twenty thou
sand dollars, was among the assets, intro
duced there. by Thompson, who, it was
now discovered, was implicated in the man
agement of that institution, also. The
double game of the adroit Yankee finan
cier being now revealed, the directors, af
tel• closing up their concern, made inqui
ries after Mr. Thompson, and learning he
had gone in the direction of Cincinnati,
telegraphed to have himitirrested immedi
ately .on his arrival therc."\
About 8100,000 oNie notes of this bank
are in circulation, with a very small a
mount of assets to redeem them.
CORDETT ON IRELAND AND POTATO Dl-
ET.—Last .evening a Roman Catholic
priest, Dr. Smith, from Connemara, coun
ty Galway, related the following conver
sation he had witlr that extraordinary man,
Cobbett, in 18'26: Speaking of Ireland,
Cobbett said that the dirty weed, alluding
to the potato, would be the curse of Ire
land. " How so''" replied Dr. Smith,
"what must the people do without it? they
live upon it. They have had it in cultiva
tion 180 years." Cobbett answered, "they
must go back to the same food they were
accustomed to live upon previously to the
general cultivation of the dirty weed ; that
is, to grain, as wheat, oats, &e. You have
four millions of souls in Ireland, and eight
millions of acres of uncultivated land. The
ground must be drained, uud brought into
cultivation, and you must again grow
wheat, oats, rye, &c. The potato will
not last inure than 20 years, when it will
work itself out, and then you will sec to
what a state Ireland will be reduced. You
must return to grain crops; and Ireland,
instead of being one of the most degraded,
will become one of the finest countries in
the world. You may live to see my words
prove true, but I never shall." Dr. Smith
made a note of the above in 1826, and the
same opinion, and prophecy concerning
the potato occurs in one of Cobbett's books,
"Cottage Economy, or Cottage Comforts,"
—Economist.
(z - From an interesting statistical arti
cle in the Boston Transcript, we learn,
that the amount of sales of poultry in ono
market in that city, for the year 1848,
was six thousand three hundred and sev
enty-three dollars ; the average sales of
one dealer alone amounting to twelve hun
dred dollars per week for the whole year.
The amount of poultry sales for the whole
city of Boston, for the same year, was o
vcr one million of dollars ! The, amount
of sale of eggs for the whole city of Bos
ton, for the same year, was a,fraction short
of . a million s& dollars. The Transcript
says that the breeding and rearing of poul
try is second in importance to scarcely
any other article of stock in _New I,;.;ngland.
