[From the London Times, Sept. 16] There is really a great deal of interest to be ac- ired in the seizing of California, jnst taken by the United States. We mean that there is some- thing very amusing in the spectacle of the most in- quisitive and tenacious people 1 the world turned Joose into a huge, mysterious, unexplored region. It is something beyond Denon, and his brother sa- vants in Egypt, and is almost equivalent to a meet- ang of the British Association in Japan with the tree run of the islands. It 1s certain that, at this moment, no human being of Caucasian extraction has any conception of what may be discoverable on the ten degrees of the globe’s surface between the Rio del Norte and the North Pacific Ocean; and it is almost es certain that in two years’ time there will be a railroad right across the province, and boarding houses at every station. It is some- thing in these dull times to have a real true terra incognita in store, with @mericans for adventu- rers, The truth is, that tae Colorado beats the Oxus hollow; for there was a time when Bactriana was a civilized and accessible region enough. whereas there is no certainty that the spot o' ground indicated by lat. 36, long. 112, was ever rodden by any foot but that of an Indian horoe-stealer. We say no certainty, because there is mystery, in the highest degree, attached to this country. “A blue book, stamped with all the au- thority of a Parliamentary warrant, positively states that “independent nations, living in large towns, and known only by report,” are presurned to exist within the old domains of Mexico, and, ag nene such turned up the other day, during the forays between Santa Ie and Vera Cruz, we must conclude they le somewhere hereabouts, if any- where, The mystery of the reports is quite charming. The ‘existence ot the cities in ques- tion isnot exactly so well ascertained as was that ot paradise by Sir John Mandeville, who ‘had not.indeed, reached the spot,but had seen the walls thereof;” it bears rather a stronger analogy to that ot El Dorado, of which some Indians told Ra- leigh’s sailors that they had once seen the reflec- uon ina lake. Seriously, though, there is actually an enormous indefinite area to be explored and filty thousand adventurers ready to rout and ran- sack every corner of it, like the uadertakers at the drawers and cupboards in Hogarth’s picture of the Dead Miser. 2 Perhaps our readers would like to learn some- thing of the known state of California, as a point de depart from which to venture into those in- teresting details which will, no doubt, reach us by every American mail. Under the old Spanish monarchy, Upper or New Califor- mia, was one of the three provinces com- posing the Vicereyalty of New Spain. Its settlement, however, was limited to the esta- blishment of some eighteen or twenty “ missions” located along the coast, which were dedicated to the various saints whose titles still survive between Francisco and Diego, and which were calculated, with a precision and a certainty attainable by none but Spaniards, to render the colonization of the country altogether an impossibility. San Diego, the southernmost of these, and the point where the new American frontier will debouch upon the Pacific, was founded in 1769, before which year there was no European settlement upon the coast. Between this period and 1800 were founded the others, all on the same model, and all running the same course. The aspect of the presidios was not materially varied under the rule of the emancipated republic. Francisco, he found, at the chief anchorage of this noble port, a “town,” of which the constituent ele- mentsare thus enumerated:—‘‘A large frame house, occupied by an agent of the Hudson’s Bay Com- pany ; a store kept by an American; a billiard- room and bar; a poop-cabin of a ship, occupied as a dwelling by an Anglo-American captain; a blacksmith’s shop, and some outbuildiags.” As this is decidedly the most famous colony on the coast, 1t would be rather perverting the proverb to say “Ex pede Herculem,”” but we may probably save ourselves the trouble of descr:bing San Car- los, or Santa Barbara, or La Purissima Concep- cion. In these delightful settlements resides the present white population of the province, number- ing, verhaps, abeut 3,000 souls ; and some 9,000 or | 1t is calculated, roam abroad in the | 10,000 Indians. u mysterious wilds of the interior. The whites are true sons of Old Spain, with every thing of a Cas- tilian but his bravery. But for the presence of certain English and Americans, the Indians would infallibly drive them into the sea. After calm ob- servation and mature reflection, Captain Wilkes 1s compelled to proneunce that “they may be termed cruel to their wives, in a greater degree still to their slaves and cattle, and exceedingly ignorant of every thing but extortion, riding horses, and catching bullocks.” Atrue Yankee graft upon this valuable stock must yield a wonderful result, and we shall not be long before we see it. We described, lately, the precautions which have been so prompt taken to bring the new territory safely under hand, and it appears that the work of discovery has already commenced. At present, the great attrac- tion seems rather in the bowels of the earth than on its surface, and hundreds of independent citi- zens are at work with their pickaxes, like trea- sure seekers in the Hartz mountains. Quick- silver is the main object of search, and we are told. in a semi-official and perfectly serious report, o} one mine, about 13 miles from San Francisco, “ go rich, that the genslemay who surveyed it un- der the directions of the government was so much affected by ealivation, that his mouth was sore fer a period of ten days after he had concluded the survey.” It is anticipated that quicksilver will thus bean, article of as regular exportation from the western, as breadstuffs from the eastern coasts of the States; several mining companies are already established, and California is even now spoken of by Transatlantic journalists in that phrase which so attracted Mr. Martin Chuzzlewit, as “one of the most remarkable provinces of our country, sir.” i ‘We should rather conceive doubts, from the - configuration of this part of the continent, whether the mineral wealth, so characteristic of the great spinal plateau of Anahuac did, in reality, extend so far beyond its termination as to be met with in North California. But, like the young farmers in the fable, who dug for a treasure and discovered it in the enrichment of their farm, which had fol- lowed upon the labor bestowed, the Americans will, no doubt, find their account in the improve- ment and civilization of this hitherto unproductive country. With a territory, at least in places, highly truitful, a climate free from the noxiousness of the opposite coast, and a temperature not other- wise than equable, they can hardly fail of a re- turn for their labor, and, if they do not discover any New Peru, or any fresh variety of the human race, they will, at least, make a vast tract of the cers surface subservient to the increasing wants of man. nization of the Germanic Mmpire. From the Washington Union, Oct. 15.) ‘We have been favored with the following documents, just received by the Department of State, at Washing- ‘ton; and we take cpeaene in laying them before our readers.

My government and countrymen are aware that it is their example.and not their advice, which may engage the attention of foreign States. when seeking to amend their political systems. Hence, they studiously abstain from becoming partisans to the internal differences of other nations respecting their forms of government. They know that whatever is good in itself will be use- ful only as a political example, as it becomes known by its peaceful and unpretending presence in the ex- changes of commerce. and in those friendly offices which belong to the spirit of an age that makes knowl- edge and virtue the condition of national greatness and private happiness.

Address of the Archduke John, Vicaire of the German Empire, to Donelson, Envoy Extraordinary of the United States. It gives me sincere joy to see an envoy from the United States of America accredited to the German central power; and my thankful acknowledgments are due for the friendly advances your government has made in this respect. These advances will serve to make the bond of fellowship and good understanding between the United States and Germany more dura 1) The high vaiue | set upon this bond needs no as- surance from me. My belief in its strength is increas- ed by the conviction that the interests of the two countries—political, spiritu d material—are of a kind to guaranty the accomplishment of my hopes. Many people of German origin have found ‘a social home in hospitable America, d have been received there with benevolence. This is a tie to make still more certain the frie dehip of the two nations. May the remembruace of your great Washington, and the blessed legacy his wisdom. his rare virtues,and his disinterested patriotism have bequeathed to Ame- rica, never cease to live among your people. I carry in my heart a sincere veneration for him, and regard him as an exalted model of all the virtues Like him, would I seek my highest fame in this, that the trust which Germany has reposed in me may be justified by my cordial and consistent endeavors to found legal order, and to secure to my beloved fatherland undis- turbed peace from within and without But these, my efforts, must be assisted by the friendship of foreign powers, and particularly by your noble American na- tion. [rely upon this friendship and will do all [ can to merit it In this respect it is a good omen, Mr Minister, that you are chosen to represent your government neat me. Your trustworthy character, your matured judgment, ‘our affection tor the German people, are already nown, and give you universal esteem in my father- land. derivé from this source a satisfactory as- furance that all will be done to give effect to the mu- tual wishes of our governments. I bid you welcome from my h ARRIVAL OF THE CocHiTuaTE Water IN Bos- TON.—On Saturday, about 2 o’clock in the after- noon, ‘the first water from Lake Cochituate reached Boston through the aqueduct. The pipe on the Com- mon, near the pond, was opened for the passage ef the water, but the first issue was that of a current of air nearly strong enough to knock a man down. The water soon made its appeasance, rising in a jet several feet high. By its color, some of the spectators mis- took it, or pretended to mistake it, fer Cognac or old Port : it was of a deep red hue. probably from vhe rust of theiron pipes. It is nowrunning through the main pips through the northern pee of the city into the arbor atthe Jower end of Hanover street. A fe days will suffice to clear the pipes, and render the water fit for use. The operation on the aqueduct, previous to the arrival of the water in the city, was thus described in the Daily Advertise: of Saturda: “We announced yesterday the introduction of the water of Cochituate Lake into the aqueduct on the preceding day, and stated that it would reach the reservoirin Brookline at about 10 o’clock in the eve- ning. We learnthat the current arrived at the gate houre at the entrance ot the Brookline reservoir at a quarter past nine in the evening. The first current consequently flowed through the aqueduct, a distance of nearly 15 miles, in about 103 hours,’ Tho gate house on the side towards the reservoir being olosed, the water yesterday morning had risen at that place toa depth of 4 feet and 7 inches, and was flowing at the same time 7 inches in depth over the over-fall, at the waste-weir in the westerly part of Brookline. This over-fall being 3 feet 10 inches from the bottom of the aqneduct, the depth of water was at this place 4 feet 5inches. The depth at the head of the aqueduct was at the same time 3 feet 936 inches. These facts may remove the apprehensions of those persons who were of opinion that the water would not run through the aqueduct. The present level of the water in the aqueduct at Brookline, and the level to which the reservoir, if opened to the water, would be filied by the present rate of discharge from the lake is about 120 feet above the marsh level. Before the opening of the the aqueduct, for the purpose of a careful of the interior, after a thorough cleansing, It will be again admitted before the date fixed for the intro- duction of water into the cit completion of the Brookline German Music Greis.—On Saturday last a ra- ther sharp looking girl, about 16 ead of age, who gave her name ag Clara Muller, and whose vocation is that of a street accordion player, came to the poll office, accompanied by an interpreter. to ask advii and assistance under the following circumstances : Sh 8, that before leaving her native place, which is Holsheim, in Hesse Darmstadt, her friends. on her part, entered into an agreement with a man named Jacob nd by the time of the servoir. Reiter, that she should travel with him in England for 18 months as one ofa party ofstreet musiciat thatshe ‘nings, and receive in return ‘was to poy ie all he: food and lodging, £7 10s. in cash, and a free passage her native country. The original agreement is re! by the girls friends, and the speculator carries the other along with him. Now, the girl says that the en- gagement ferminated in July last, but that Reiter will not pay her the salary nor permit her to depart. This msn was found out, and in defence states that the en- gagement is not out till October; but that he hag lost the copy of agreement neceseary to prove this fact. From the interference of the authorities, however, the man found it expedient to leave £9 10s. in the hands of the chief superintendent of police (£7 10s. as salary, and £2 for travelling expenses), until the real state of the case can be obtained from Germany; and as the gz positively refuses to go back to Reiter’s house, she as Meantime been decently lodged under the charge of the pelice.. The bi r at Holsheim has been written to; and the concluding clause of the letgr very ly says :—“ As the cl to which this girl belongs is very numerous in Glesgow, the authoriti are very desirous to know the terms aad circumstanc under which they are induced to re their countr: for Great Britain.” Clara Muller is an intelligent girl, and write: letter. She says that her eeuts runfrom 108. per day, collected in the streets in small doles as a reward for her performance on the ac- cordion. Now, we have every feeling of kindness for these poor girls; but it juestionable how far they should be encouraged, wl their exertions are de- ight and day, to making a dealer in musical slavesrich. This man, we are informed, sends upon the streets daily some five or six begging minstrels, in- cluding his own wife, but principally boys and girls.— Glasgow Herald.

The Hon Isaac Hill, late Governor of New Hamp- shire, and well known to the democracy of the Union, recently visited Towanda, Pennsylvania, the seat of Van Buren abolitioniam in that State. under the lead of the Hon.

During his stay there, the following correspondence took place, and Will speak for itself. ‘The resolution to which it rerers, (and which we subjoin to the letter of Mr. Hill,) as having been drawn up by Siius Wright, and framed under the eye, and at the instigation of Martin Van Buren in 1840, is the same—word for word and comma for comma—and the only resolution upon the subject of slavery. adopted by the late National Convention which nominated Gen, Cass, Martin Van Buren was defeated in 1840, and quietly dropped in 1844; and he now repudiates his party, and the principles adopted by itat hisown instigation, and becomes the abolition candidate for President, with s rank Massachusetts federalist for his associate upon the ticket.

Letter to Governor Hill, ‘Towanpa, Sept. 11, 1848, His Excenuency Isaac Hin: The undersigned, democratic citizens of Bradford county, availing ourselves of your temporary sojourn among us, are desirous of knowing whether Martin Van Buren, previous to his nomination as a candidate for President, in 1840, subscribed to, or approved of, the resolutions adopted by the Baltimore Convention, which place¢ him at that time in nomination; and from your being @ conspicuous member of that’con- vention, we baye reason to believe you may possess information upon the subject, which may be important for the people to know, particularly in relation to the resolution adopted by that convention in relation to slavery. Very respectfully, your obedient servants, Davin Casi, Wm. Ewen, D. Onmsay, K. W. Bain, I. H.Srernens, Guy Tozer, D.E.Martix, — G. H. Buntina, J. F. Means, D.F. Barstow, 8. Hustox, V.E.Pioverr 8. Haven, H, C, Bann, P.C Wanp, H Meraan, Governor Hill's Reply. Towanpa, September 11, 1848. GenytLemen :—In answer to your note of this date, I am able to say, that | was a member of the Baltimore nvention which nomin: Martin Van Buren for re-election in the year 1840; that at the instanse of Mr. Van Buren, Mr. Sila fh ee the late Judge Grundy, and others at that time, | spent several days, previous to the convention, at the house of Mr. F. P. Blair, at Washington, in preparation for that conven- tion; that the arrangement then made was, that Mr. Ransom H. Gillet should prepare and report the reso- lutions, and that I should report the address; tha: the resolutions, drawn up as I then believed by Mr. Wright, were submitted to and approved by Mr. Van Buren; that I consented, after the address was reported, to have it returned to Washington, by the hand of Judge Anderson, of Tennessee, with liberty for Mr, Wright to change and alter itin any manner that he—who was known to be the confidential friend and a‘viser of the President—should think expedient; that the address was so altered materially on some points after it waa thus returned, and before it was printed ; that the resolutions, peculiarly embodying all the points of political faith which I had embraced for the previous twenty years, were then the opinions professed by Mr. Van Buren, as repeated in several conversations; and that | have good reason not only to believe that the rerolution in relation to slavery had his full sanction, but that the latter clause of that resolution was in- serted at his suggestion, and in the strong and une- juivocal la: gs he was in the habit of using upon that topic, am, respectfully, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, ISAAC HILL. Merars. Davin Casm and others. The resolution referred to, is as follows: — “That Congress has no power, under the constitu- tion, to interfere with or control, the domestic institu- tions of the several States, and that such States are the sole and proper judges of every thing appertaining to their own affairs, not prohibited by the constitution: that all efforts of the abolitionists or others, made to induce Congress to interfere with questions of siavery, or to take incipient steps in relation thereto, are cal- culated to lead to the mort alarming consequences, and that all such efforts have an inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people, and endanger the stability and permanency of the Union, and ought not to be countenanced by any friend to our political institutions.” Naval Intelligence. The U.S. sloop of war Cyane, Commander Dupont, just arrived from the Pacific, at Norfolk, ina very short passage of sixty-two days from Valparaiso, bas had a most active and brilliant cruise.

McCarthy et al — This was # motion to set aside » de- murrer to a complaint as frivolous, and to enter up judgment for the plaintiff for want of an answer. ‘The judge said that the practiee of the court befor adoption of the new code of procedure, where it was supposed that the demurrer was frivolous, was to place the cause on the calendar, and to call it on for argu- ment out of its order at an early day.

The motion must. therefore, be denied without costs.

Whitney and Thomas —This was an action on a bond entered into to remove an attachment. The plaintiff is owner of the ship James Edward, and at some port in England the master entered into r party to proceed to & port in British America, and bring # cargo of Pictou coals to New York, at $4 the chuldron, for ac- count of Thomas Tremlett, of Boston, and consigned to the defendants. The ship proceeded, accordingly, to Halifax, and took in 400 chaidrons of coals, from the Albion Company's mines. It appeared, from the tosti- mony of the captain, that the coal was negher weighed nor Measured before it was delivered to him, and the fact was noted in the bills of lading. After the vessel arrived here, and a berth procured for her, she wae taken, by order of the consignees. to Brooklyn, where the cargo was discharged. A difficulty afterwards, in regard to the measurement or weight of the cargo and demurrage, took place. between the owner and the con- signees ; the latter procured the cargo to be wrighed, and, according to their estimate, it weighed 417 chal: drons; it was also weighed by plaiatiff, and, according to his measurement, it weighed 456% chaldrous. The plaintiff, also, insisted on $250 for demurrage, that is, for five days, at the rate of $50 u day—the detend- ants would allow but $40 a day Plaintiff, also, insisted upon $20, for towing the vessel to and from brooklyn to New York—the defendants refused to comply with the plaintiff's demand, upon which, the plaintiff issued an attachment sgainst the cargo. The defendants then executed a bend, and had the attachment re- moved. The questions of fact. to be decided by the jury, were, as to the measurement of the coal, ‘which de- pended on the degree of credit due to the testimony of the witne: who made the respective measurem+nts, the same with regard to the demurrage—one witness swearing that the sum claimed by plaintiff was reason- able, while another witness, for the defence, swore that $40 thought, should be allowed. two other questions of law which were re- served for «pinion of the Court, in banco, namely : the captain should be a party in the cause, fe part owner of the vessel, and that no legai de- mand was made for the freight on the consignee.
