Hibernia and Caledonia two of the oldest ships in their line are about building two new steam ers in their stead The new vessels are to be constructed without delay and are to be of much greater power than the Asia the fastest vessel at present in their line SURVEY THE WESTERN COAST Extractor a letter from Lieut McAr thur Navy Assistant in the Coast Survey to the Superintendent relating to the progress of the reconnaissance anil survey of the Western Coast The Washington Philharmonic Society gave last Tuesday evening another of its fine joint rehearsals It is almost supirfluous to say that it went off as usual exceed ingly well in both the vocal and instrumental departments but we may rematk that its march is citledly onward and we notice with great satisfaction the increasing interest in its behalf It is encouraged by the clergy in general of our city without the least distinction of sect and wo cannot forego the pleasure of stating that one of our Reverend divines after the close of Tuesday performances in token of his ratisfactlon and of his belief in the favorable influence the labors of the society would produce upon our community re quested his name to be pul down as an annual donor for seve ral times the amount of his present subscription as an asso ciate member Such an example is truly encouraging and gratifying and we congratulate the friends cf the Society upon its flattering prospects but would remind its members that its final success depends upon their united and best efforts to promote it BOTELbR The Malta Mail anil United Service Journal of August 10 has the following article Monday last an official communication of thedenth of General Tirton late President of tho United States of America having been rmde by Wm Wimthiiop Esq the United States Consul in this city to Vice Admiral Sir Wm Paiikku Bait with an intimation that on Thursday the Sth instant the American flag would be hoisted half mast high on the Consular staff the gallant Admiral imrr ed'ately replied by a letter of condolence and intimated his intention of taking part in the demonstration of respect to the memory of the deceased President by ordering the American colors to be hoisted half mast on the main mast head of the ships of war in port and also on those cruising under his command and the British ensign in similar token on the peak Gen Ellice was also officially notified of the death of the late President as were the foreign Consuls The former imme diately responded to the invitation ard ordered the flags on the forts and palace to be displayed at half mast Yesterday in pursuance of orders issued by Sir Wm Parker the Ame rican flig was hoisted as above indicated the British flag was similarly hoisted on the pilace staff forts and public offices and the foreign Consuls hastened to unite with their colleague in hoisting the tlsgs of the Powers they represent in token of mourning for the decease of the late distinguished General the la'e President of the United Louisiana A Whig meeting held in A Donaldsonville (La) recently passed resolutions declaring that the Whigs of Ascension have per ceived with indignation the course pursued by Congressional Agitators who would create upon public mind a false impression that a spirit of hostility towards the North prevails among the and that in common with their brother Whigs of the other parishes of the district they regard as traitors those who would sever the the bands which connect the States of this great A Whig meeting in Assumption passed similar resolutions HONORS TO THE MEMORY THE LATB PRESI DENT TAYLOR AT MALTA spect to British postages except that the want of authority to allow commissions is more for all know that Congress has never legislated upon the subject Postmaster General Johnson under whose in structions the treaty was negotiated was justified in the conclusion that there were no commissions attaching to British postages to prevent a recipro cal arrangement with the British post office which has no commissions in its system would allow none to others for collecting its postages nor ask any of us for collecting our postages The late Postmaster General under whose administration the treaty went into operation decided that there was no legal authority for commissions on British postages and further he placed on record when making the postal arrangement with Prussia his official declaration that legally there could be no commissions on foreign postage says more illegal order than that issued by the late Postmaster GeneralJ could not be issued by the One equally illegal if Beta is right has since been issued for the present Post master General Mr Hall who has been minutely and vigorously overhauling the errors and abuses that have crept into the business of distribution commissions has given a peremptory order restricting the commissions to what is without contingency the United Slates postage on each foreign The facts above given are derived from the same accurate source that contributed the particulars to the former article in the Intelligencer on this subject It is fortunate that the law leaves foreign post ages untrammelled with the charge of commis sions Our negotiators of postal arrangementswith other countries are left free to make the best arrangements to increase and quicken the corre spondence between the old and new worlds and promote the vast interests connected with it with out being under the necessity (in order" to avoid the 'J cry of some demagogue) of haggling for the terms that would place the United States in a position of inferiority and her public functionaries in relations of dependance on other countries for their fees of office It is easy to see that nothing could be gained in a pecuniary point of view by such a course for on the same principle precisely that we would ask Great Britain to contribute to pay the compensation of our postmasters she would de mand a larger contribution from us to pay her con tractor Cunard It is right as it is more advan tageous pecuniarily and more satisfactory and honorable MARRIAGES On Tuesday night last the 10th instant by the Rev Mr Gossaoe Mr JACOB HUTTON of

CALIORNIA Washington September 1 1 1850 Gentlemen Believing that good will result from the pe rusal df the enclosed extracts from a letter received on last Saturday from my brother in California I offer them to you for publication if you deem proper premising merely that the writer is a young man of liberal education and thoroughly trained as a chemist and druggist In brie of the largest es tablishments in Pittsburg who has also had the experience of more than ten years in the business of analyzing com pounding and mixing Their publication may at least be the means of saving some from the bitter disappointment experienced by a number of our worthy citizens therein alluded to who Were induced to invest largely and go thither by the representations of a gentleman who had been over the ground and examined as was under stood the localities referred to and who exhibited of the gold beaiing quartz and was too highminded and honorable intentially to deceive yet permitted his imagi nation so completely to warp his judgment and to eild his statements of facts as to lead to bis own deep mortification and tho sad disappointment of his friends I omit the names they are generally well known in this communi'y Very respectfully yours MILLER SvBvmsn Schooner Ewisn Astoria July 16 1850 Dear Sin Since my last letter to you I sent Lieut Bartlett with Mrs i Denny and Simm to examine the mouth of the Willamette river and the Columbia river generally directing them to examine and point out any diffi culties or impediments to navigation should they exist their character I myself went on a hurried trip to Sound but found matters so interesting there that I spent just four weeks between Capo lattery and Nisqually I made a good reconnaissance of New Dqnginess Roadq Pro tection Island and Port Discovery Reports in connexion with these expeditions will bo fowarded in duo season I hope to complete a tolerable survey of the mouth of the Columbia river in a few' days and to bo able to point out with considerable accuracy the changes which have taken place in tho channels since the survey of the exploring ex pedition On completing our work here I shall proceed to Point (California) for tho purpose of meeting Mr Davidson who will require some assistance about two months hence On ray way I will reconnoitre the coast and endeavor to fill up tho intervals which now exist on our chart Two or three good clear days will suffice as the wind at this sea son is always fair when vessels are bound south I will send the coast sheet to you with a desire that it be published (with all its imper fictions as it is so much more cornet than any chart of the coast extant A With all the importance which the subject demands I hope I have represented to you the necessity of my having au thority to employ men at the usual wages of the country The times of several will expire in January next and I must lay tho vessi 1 up Do not indulge the belief or hope that seamen can be obtained here for the amount which I tun au thorized to pay This difficulty must bo overcome in some xv i and most happy would I be could I suggest a remedy which would cure the evp Congnss should increase the Coast Survey appropriation for this especial contingency and most so SURVEY THE COAST CALIORNIA Mr George Davidson Assistant United States Coast Survey is now employed in charge of a land party at Point Conception determining its position and the adjacent islands and main This portion ot the coast about two hundred and thirty miles south ol San rancisco is in the line

acre for which he has recently realized over seventeen hun dred dollars in cash I his is a spacimqp of farming in Western New Yoik Return of Mrs Miller The following an nouncement of the return of Mrs Miller who re ported herself drowned at Niagara alls lst spring is we understand correct: Mbs Miller We learn from a source fully entitled to credit that Mrs Milleu whose sudden disappearance and supposed suicide at Niagara alls elicited so much remark a few months since has within a few days returned to the home of her father the late Senator Nobvell at Detroit Michigan who has died during her absence The stories with which the press has teemed about her having gone to Europe in company with a gentleman are wholly un bounded She returns of her own accord drawn mainly we believe by a strong desire to see her children Her mind seems to be disordered and it is supposed by her friends that her absence was induced by the strong religious excite ment under which she "has been laboring for some time Courier Dr James Roach of St county Md met with quite a serious accident at Piney Point bn Saturday the 31st ult In attempting to jump from a steamboat to the wharf his foot slipped and he fell with bis whole weight upon the edge of the wharf three of his ribs being broken by the fall I am very respectfully and truly yours WM McARTHUR Lieut and Asst Coast Survey To Professor A Bache

peaches os an experiment to see how the fruit would keep on the voy age If they reach Scotland safe and sound orders for more will be filled immediately The peaches were picked with the stems on and then these were covered over with wax The New ork Courier of Monday gives the following touching incident exemplifying the strong attachment of do mestic animals to persons who have showed kindness towards them A few days since a personal friend connected with this office had the misfortune to lose his a fine intelligent manly little fellow not quite three years old A King Charles spaniel had been in the habit of playing with him receiving food from his hands and bearing him company in bis rambles and sports While the little boy was sick tho dog wa'ched by his bedside After he died he missed him and wandered all over the house droop ng and sad The second morning after bis death he took his station at the foot of the stairs where be had been accustomed to meet him watched and waited for him in vain for a long time and at last laid him self down upon the lower stair and died Thus fine are the issues to which the nature even of brutes is often ble gold Thia has been taken from the richest portion of the ledge so when you hear of the rich yield of the Mariposa mines you will know how that rich yield was obtained Be lieve nothing you hear from California excepting of course what I write I will try hnd represent things as they are and will keep you informed of all that occurs as far and as frequently as 1 am able Should any of your friends feel disposed to purchase ma chinerv for the purpose of engaging in these mines tell from me that they will make more money by locking a they have in a strong box that tviil at least be caved If gold yielding quartz of good quality exists in California it will be found this summer but unless I siwand examined the ledge myself I would not invest money in the purchase of machinery I have to my satisfaction discovered that you cannot with safety believe any report you hear not even when a specimen" of the quar'z containing gold is exhibited as having come from the place The Colonel is very much mor tified that matters have turned out as they have and is mak ing every exertion to discover what I and a great many others thought from his representations he already knew This letter was written on my knee I have not slept un dressed since I arrived in California (25 days) I have seen what they call tho Elephant trunk tail and all General John Schnierle was elected Mayor of Charleston on the 2d instant bv 1190 votes to 852

of Western Virginia who has enjoyed excellent opportunities of obser vation says the Richmond Republican writes us from Monroe county under date of August 29 The public in this quarter responds most heartily ip every invocation sent up for the preservation the Union and although I have travelled over five counties within the last month and been with the people at different points 'in each county at their public meetings I have yet to meet with one who does not denounce the course of many of our public men who are occupying what they call the Southern APPOINTMENT BY THE PRESIDENT By and with

within nine days after the embarkation Dr Judson embarked for the East in 1812 and has thus been more than thirty eight years in the missionary service On I hunday evening last as Mr and Mrs Oldham of Kentucky were crossing the Ohio liver on their way home from Cincinnaii in a skiff" by some accident the skiff was upset and both were drowned Marh osa City Mariposa County Cal July 15 1850 arrived here on the evening of Saturday June 29 Tho party consisted of Col A Mr myself and a hired man all well On Monday we commenced examining the ledge of quartz of which so much has been said in the States Tho examination of the ledge and its various branches and other ledges running parallel with this particular one which appears to be tho most extensive it having been traced far up among the northern mines has occupied our time since our arrival here There is no quartz ledge within twenty miles of this place that has not been subjected to a thorough superfi cial examination by Col A Dr and Mr of rank fort Kentucky and myself and the result is that the only quartz that yields a per centage of gold worth naming is a portion of a ledge about two hundred feet in length at present claimed and worked by a gentleman from the neighborhood of tho Virginia mines Capt of iedericksburg Virginia and the average yield of this portion will not pay the expenses of working it Some particular parts are rich while far the largest portion will not yield five cents per und The aver age yield of two hundred feet will not exceed ten cents per pound which at the present prices of labor will not more than pay for getting the quartz out transportation provisions being very high rom Stockton here distance ninety miles transportation is I believe at present 25 cents per pound "I flour is selling at from thirty to thirty five cents per pound every thing else in proportion lour last winter sold in this place for one dollar and fifty cents per pound During the winter season no travelling can be done owing to the ground becoming so soft that no beast can travel At present every thing is dry and almost burnt up by the sun We brought with us six mules and had to buy grass for them here at tho rate of about ten cents per pound they were disposed of as soon as possible Mr and thtee other gentlemen who composed our par ty when we left San rancisco stopped near San (pro nounced San Hosa for the purpose of examining a rock i which is supposed to contain gold I have not hr ard from them since we parted By the route we travelled I suppose the distance from San rancisco here is very little short of 230 miles it was very fatiguing Jo ride constantly for so many days rom San rancisco to San Jose about fifty miles the road is along lhe plain near the foet of the coast range After about fifteen miles you come into a country covered plain and mountain as far as the eye can reach with wild oats the trees are about the size and have very much the apfrearance of apple i trees and it requires no stretih of the imagination to suppose that one is travelling in a large orchard planted in oats Im mense droves of Cattle feed on these plains large droves ol horses are also kept and run at large most of the cattle are driven up to the ranch of the owner at night We camped one night near a ranch and had just as much milk as we could drink given to us the milk is not as rich as that from cattle raised where green food is plenty The oats are now all ripe and dry and are occasionally Cred the flames running with great rapidity After leaving our patty at San Jose we journeyed pretty briskly each person having a riding mule On Thursday the 27th June we crossed the Contra Costa range at Pachico pass lhe country still had the same appearance After crossing the pass we came to the plains of the San Joaquin (pronounced San Waukeen) which has been represented as the Paradise of California being as has been said so situat ed that it can be irrigated by the waters of the river This is another of the humbugs cf the dayr The plain where wo crosseu is aoout ntteen miles wide We saw water but once after leaving the mountain about three or four miles afttr entering the plains A narrow strip of land immediately on the banks of the river is good and corn or potatoes could be raised extensively back on the plains however the ground is barren and burnt up totally unfit for agricul ture We camped at the ferry on the San Joaquin bting de sirous of getting to the end of our journey We lift next morning before breakfast having been informed that at the distance of twelve miles we would find an American tent we rode on and kept riding and al the distance of twenty live miles came to an American tent about twelve our road was up the Rio Merceda along the plains under the heat of a burning sun felt the want of water very much but were unable to stop and get it to make amends however for our long fast we were served with a bountiful dinner consist ing of ham coffee bread pickles een cucumbers and honey I am certain I never ate so much at one time before Mr carnc very near giving out Col A in company with Dr and a Mexican guide left this for lhe northward on riday last for the purpose of ex amining the various quarlz ledges on the Sonora and Moke lumna and endeavoring to find one place that will pay where the machinery can le located Various and apparent ly authentic reports are at present in circulation to the effect that a very rich quanz ledge has been discovered by seme gentlemen from Sacramento city The location of the ledge is at present unknown except by the company one of whom has gone to the States for the purpose of procuring machi nery It is supposed that this ledge is somewhere in the neighborhood of Sonora or the Sonorian camp Should the Colonel succeed in procuring a location of sufficient richness to pay the machinery will be immediately lecattd and ope rations commenced otherwise for the present at least the project will be abandoned We have at present stopped here The gold yielding quartz of California is one of the great est humbugs of the day The ledges may he rich after they are opened to some depth though here shafts have been sunk alongside tho rock to the depth of twenty to thirty feet and the indications do not show an increase but rather the con trary A gentleman who came out in the employment of Commodore Stockton arrived here a day or two since and after seeing the quartz said that such rock would not be work ed in Virginia he has been engaged in the m'nes in Vir ginia for a number of years and is one on whose word de pendence may be placed At present I would not think of connecting myself or in vesting any money in the operation and if I was the owner of any stock in such concern would endeavor to dispose of my interest as soon as possible I do not think that at pre sent and probably not for a long time to come any thing can be done in the quarlz so far as I have seen What the re sult of Col A expedition may be I am unable to say 1 however very mu doubt whether any of his anticipations will be realized What is most strange is that made the representations he did without ever having himself ex amined the quartz The "specimens" that have been exhi bited in the United States as a fair sample of the quartz is a mistake such specimens are occasionally found though they are no indications of the value of the rock Com Stock ton's agent has been here for the purpose of selecting a loca tion but left without having done so he expects to return again in two or three weeks whelher he will locate here or not I am unable to say company of Washington are here and will I be lieve in the course of the present week engage in working a quicksilver machine on the Mariposa for the purpose of ex tracting the fine gold from the sand and gravel I hat escaped from the rockers of the diggers they are all in good health I have thought that I would go into the digging and have formed a company with two young men Mr of Georgetown and Mr of Washington We are at work about two miles above this place and have but just commenced operations On Saturday we got our first gold the largest lump weighed about three dollars We anticipate making a pretty fair turn out after we get well to work and used to it If I had any means of foiwarding it I would send you tho lump as the first I got Should Col A discover a place to locate his machinery I will of with him Messrs and above referred to have erected a Chilian mill for the purpose of crushing the quartz and will probably be in operation this week The first quartz that is ground will be that seleated from the very best portion of the ledge the consequence will ba a large yield which of course will be represented by the time the account reaches the States as a fair estimate of the ledge on which he is located which is not the case It is thought here by almost every one that he wants to sell out and is taking this plan of getting the largest possible price They have had eight or ten Mexicans engaged for two weeks past quarrying and have selected out of the whole mass quarried about two tons all of which exhibits visi Saya the New York Commercial Advertiser have again to congratulate our readers upon the progress of events at Washington The bill providing for the unconditional admission of California has passed the House of Representatives by a strong vote and has probably before the present hour received the signature of the President The bill for the establishment of a Territorial

South may hereafter bo left entire ly without excuse for agitation or for railing at the North We have always urged that the North should act magnani mously in settling this whole dispute and we think
