Trewron, 1848. ¥ See the last account, amusing enongh, of Louis Bonaparte, Police Intelligence. Police Court—Before Justice Lothrop —The police court, on Saturday morning, presented quite a lively sight at the return of the prisoners, arrested by the icemen during the night previous. On the benches allotted for the prisoners were fourteen female of the very lowest grade, clad in the most neglig atyle, covered with dirt filth, from which @ vapor was rising. caused by the warmth of the morning snd the heat of the stove, that would readily kill the of any other eflluvia that the reader could possibly imagine. It was one of those stifling smells that can- not be described with any degree of accuracy. Among this terrible group of human depravity, were one or two decent looking men, one of whom bore on his upper lip quite a neat looking moustache, and in other res- ects bore the pearance of having seen be jays; and furth long on the bench were two well- dressed females, one with a pink hat and flowing fei ther, making quite a coatrast alongside the f vagrants in tattered clothing. Thé first prisoner calied was a diminutive looking black man, called Thomas Smith, charged with keeping a disorderly house at No 69 Leonard street. The justice informed him that he must put a stop to all such places, and held htm to bail in $500, to answer the charge. he next case was an old loafing looking man, very dirty and filshy, calling himself Henry Thompson. The policeman said he ‘was a common station house lodger, without any visil means of obtaining @ livelihood, Macistrate—Have you no home or frieads to take care of you? Prisoner —I have, sir, Mr. Kay is my cousin, and I went to him yesterday, but he was out shooting. ‘The officer said he had been loafing about the ward for weeks past. Weill, said the magistrate, if that is the case, make an affidavit, and send him up on the Island; and away went Henry for six months. The magistrate then called Nicholas Clinch. This prisoner was a very gentlemanly looking personage, with a very mild countenance, bearing on his upper ea ell regulated moustache. The policeman stated that he found the prisoner on the corner sf Broadway nd Reade street, in a very heavy state of intoxication ‘his countenance and clotbing indicated the fact, as the latter was spotted considerably with mud. The officer spoke up in behalf of the prisoner, and said he believed he was a very respectable man, as he told him ‘he was boarding at the Carlton louse. and had been a chief clerk in the army department for sixteen years, Justice Lothrop, who is‘a very feeling and considerate magistrate, allowed Mr. Clinch togo without imposing any fine, as his mental sufferings appeared to have in- flicted a much heavier punishment than any fine could impose, by being huddled together with a lot of loafers, thieves and vagabonds. i Julia Plunket was the next called up for judgment. ‘This young woman was pretty good looking, decked out withs small pink hat, shortin front, and adorned ‘with a long white feather, tipped with biue MaatstRate hbo} charge do you make against this young woman, officer? Ofiloer Mocord then replied that he met her in Church street last night, and she and another girl nd using I fame language. aTe.—What have you to say to this, Julia? certainly put a stop to such conduct in the ‘The Supreme Court have, I am sorry to say, decided that you girls are at perfect liberty to: walk the rtreets at any hour of the night, providing you -conduet yourselves in an orderly manner.

No, Judge, indeed I didn't. (Laughter in court, Mac } ate.—1 think we must teach her a little better manners, by fining her $5 ; and in default of the payment, sbe was committed to the Tombs for five days ? he next prisoner in order was a young wom about 17 years old, remarkably pretty, and possessin; a skin of the most beautiful transparency, embellishes with two rosy cheeks, (not paint); and near her under lip, was fixed a cunning little mole ; her eyes were full, well formed, and of » pretty blue; her mouth was very epgaging, and her teeth white and gcod; her countenance altogether, was ex- ‘trordinsrily beautitul; her dress was a straw hat, trimmed With red ribbons, and a plaid shawl. ‘When called upon to give her name, rhe gave Oregon Pierce. The officer charged her with being disorderly in the street, and abusing the captain in the station house. The magistrate, on beholding the very good looks of the prisoner, and being a considerable judge ‘of such matters, committed her to the care of Mrs. Foster for a further examination, as some steps might be taken that would redeem her from the vice she was read: ed in. The’ Sis ner formed quite a contrast to the last fair prisoner, being an old negro, called George Low, of 801 ‘ummers. reeembling more the w the human species, holding unuer one arm ina bag. The officer said he brought him into the station house. as he found him asleep ona stoop.

Cutting. with Intent to Kill.—A black fellow, called Jim Jobnson, was atrested, yesterday morning, by offi- cer Sweeney, of the 6th ward, on a charge of cutting another negro, called George Coneway, with a knife, inflicting a gash of five inches im length, across his throat, with the intention of cutting his head off. as reprerented by those who saw the negroes fighting, Justi jcGrath committed him to prison for trial. Haul of Vagrants —Justice McGrath, at the watch returns, on Sunday morning, had brought be- fore him 72 prironers, consisting principally of loafers ‘and vagrants of the lowest order, the msjority ofwhom he sent to the penitentiary. Dishonest Servant — OMcer Jube, of the 10th ward, arrested. yesterday, a woman called Julia Matthews, « family rervant in the employ of Mra, Garrison, No, 202 ‘Walker atreet, on a charge of stealing a box contain- i gold watch and chain, a silver watch and chain, da pair of ear-ringe, one bracelet, silver valued in all at over $100 pin nd finger ri ‘These articles were stolen by the servant Juli upon her arrest, she acknowledged her guilt, a abe the articles were secreted.

The de_ livery of the President's message, aud the reports from the different departments, and of the Governor of Cali- crnia, have occupied the public mind. almost to the ex- clusion of everything else. Of these official documents the mort important is that of Col, Mason, giving an ac count of the gold discoveries in California; and we have seldom seen such o universal excitement as that Teport created. Nothing else has been hardly thought of, or talked of, but the probable extent of the supply and the probable effect of it upon financial and com” mercial affairs, The accounts received from officia, rources have turned the heads of all kinds of specula- tors, and adventurers are starting off by scores for the El Dorado they have been so long and 80 anx- iously looking for. Every vessel leaving for San Fran- cisco or Chagres, is loaded with passengers and freight- ed with merchandise adapted to the wants of the pso- ple cf California, and a few weeks will suffice to get underweigh for that land of promise, thou- tands of speculators and dozens of vessels, What will be the result of all these movements, time only will determine, The most extravagant ideas have been formed of the gold product of California, and it is possible they will be more than realized. If the yield continues for five years at the rate realized since last February, the value cannot be less than seve- ral hundred millions of dollars,which, if minted into coin and put into circulation, will havea material influence upon its value circulating medium; but whether it will have a tendency to inflate the value of property, is another question. We have no doubt a temporary inflation in prices will take place—the result of epecu- Jation—but the currency would, doubtless, soon be- come equalized, and the actual value of property pre- served. The currency of the United States is a mix- ture of coin and paper, in which the paper predomi. nates, in the proportion of three to one. The circula- lation of our banks amounts in the aggregate to about three hundzed millions of dollars, on a deposit of one hundred millions of dollars in specie in their vaults, An increase of one hundred millions of dollars in gold would add another three hundred sillion® in paper fo the currency, and this inflation in the curreney would inflate prices for every spe- cies of property. This would, undoubtedly, be the first effect of such an increase in the supply of gold; but after a time, the depreciation in the value of the precious metals, will give them « more general ciroul tion, and paper would be withdrawn. If the incre: of gold reduced the circulation of paper, it would be many years before prices of property would feel any influence from the change; but with the hundreds of banking institutions, it would be impossible to keep the paper currency within present limits, Ifthe banks were restricted to an issue ofonly one dollar in paper for every dollar on hand in gold or silver, they would require two hundred millions of dollars in specie more than they now have, to preserve the same amount of paperiesues. In this way the currency would be im. proved by the accession of an immense amount of gold from the mines of California, without affecting the va- lue of property and deranging or inflating credits.— Paper should be merely a representative of gold and "iver, for the purpose of facilitating the operations of commerce, instead ofthree or four dollars in paper re- presenting one dollar in specie, which is the cass now: Unless some revolution takes place in our banking *ystem, to meet the state of things likely to grow out of the immense increase in the supply of gold, we shall, before the lapse of many years, be in the mids of one of the most enormous speculations the world has ever seen. It is estimated that if the collection of gold in California continues at the rate it has commenced, by next April the receipts bere will amount to two or three millions of dollars per month. The receipts thus far have been nearly two hundred thousand dollars, part of which has gone into the mint for coinage. We have heard of sums received in gold in return for shipments of merchandize made to California, which almost exceed belief; but which are no doubt true. An immenre impetus has been given, by these accountr, to shipments of goods; and we hav, no doubt that by another year the importation of gold fiom San Francisco, in payment for goods and in re- mitiances on account of speculators in Californi will exceed the amount named above. In anti cipation of tBis, an inflation has already com: menced in stocks, and the fancies have, since the official reports appeared, advanced several per cent. As the gold excitement increases, the specu- ‘ative movement will doubtless extend, and affect many irticles of merchandise. Accounts from California will be devoured with the greatest avidity; andas they are likely to be more extravagant as the number of workmen in the gold district increases, than any yet received, the public mind will be wound up to the high- est pitch. When the gold itself comes along in the vast amounts anticipated, and we begin to realize some | of the accounts given, we will not answer for the ranity of many of our rpeculators. It is the opinion of many, that the reports are grossly thore last received, and they place little confidence in them, Even admitting that large sums have been obtained in the manner named, they believe that the dvep. or.in other words, on or near the surface; and that have been published, is to attract emigrants, and settle exeggerated, notwithstanding the official character of | supply will suddenly cease—that the gold is only skin | the object in making such extravagant statements aS | the close of the week previous, Prices were very uni- form until r the close, when upward movement’ commenced,and an advance of one or two per cent was realized:— INcIPAL STOCKs iw 1 Yoru Manxet Sat, Mon, Tues, Wed, Tha, Fri.

Mr. Clay had better remain at home. The disastrous results of the course pursued by Mr. Clay in attempting to dictate the po- of 1841, ought to be remembered as a warning ag such course of dictation in 1849. The electic it isa #, according to Clay—it is the success of @ candidate who refused to endorse them, or any line of party notions whatsoever, It is the expression of the popular will for an administration —not for = par- ty; but for the whole people, General Taylor was not elected to give offices to the whigs, mor to re- store the exploded measures of 1811, whatever Mr. Webster may have said in his speeches in setts. ‘Phis throws us back to the original inquiry, what will the General do? What will he recomuend ? What class of office-holde ill he proscribe?’ What wing of the party will constitute hia kitchen cabinet, and to which section will the offices be gi ? Even if he were #0 disposed, be cannot safely ad a general system of rotation. He must act under the advice and consent of the Senate, and the Senate i+ democratic, He must be exceedingly judicious in bit appointments, or they may be rajected. Reasons above party reasons, for expelling secondary office holders to make way for his friends, must be given, or the Senate may not content to the changes proposed. If the Se- nate were whig, then it might be expected from the i very presrure of the whig expectants that a swenping rotation would be forced upon Gen. Taylor, But th cate in different, d the vigilance of a locofoco Sena may operate to save many of their friends, who would: otherwise have to walk the plank of rotation This condition of things leaves all parties in = state of anxious suspense; and the singular anomaly is pre- sented, of the defeated party being full of hop» and expectation from a rupture, and of the successful side being impressed with & lively sense of apprehension and perplexity ‘The old whig creed—the old whig party, upon the Clay and Webster organization—we consider as de- funct, from the 9th of June, at Philadelphia We con- ch of the family havi nd that a bank, the land and a protective tariff, reins in their hands; bution, poved to President to Congress 7 A revenue tariff, sufficient to meet the liabilities of ennsylvania, if there were no ovher, or no more | expedient, alternative of meeting the public debts; but the proceeds from the sales or per centage of the gold Jands in California may possibly yield a revenue which will do away with the necessity of any material modifications of the act of 46; and the very interest. ng probability arising from ‘this consideration, thet ct of 46—espeoially with a decided democratia jority in the Senate—will undergo no material pro- tective modification during the administration of Ge- neral Taylor. ‘The appropriation to the States of the avails of the | public lands is out of the question, because they are, to a great extent, already absorbed ‘asa guaranty for the public indebtedness, and for the payment of sol~ diers’ bounties, On the subject of internal improvements, wo expeot the policy of Mr. Polk to be entirely reversed. We look for a general system of internal improvement: for arystem, under the logrolling of the membe: the two houses, that will absorb many millions of the public treasure. We should not be surprised if it were carried to such an extent as to affect the election of every member to either house of Congress, and from the enormity of the appropriations, to make the ques- tion of retrenchment a prominent question in the campaign of fifty-two. ‘We expect some attempts will be made to reorganize the army and the navy upon a less expensive basis; to increase the number of war steamers, through the me- dium of portal arrangements by sea, and to diminish the proportion of sailing versels. The diplomatic and consular systems, from the pe- cessities of the convulsions of Europe, will demand a reorganization A further reduction of postages must become meesure of the new adwinistration, including vew regu. lations with railroad, eteamboat, and telegraphic com- panies. , ‘The Sub-Treasury is an obstacle which will be dim- cult of immediate removal. No radical change can be made with the present democratic majority in the Senate, and the only material amendment which will probably be attempted for a year or two will be the wanrfer of chequee and drafts in lieu of the trans- portation of specie. ‘The great question—the question of the cempaign —the question cf the North and the South - the ques- tion of the day and of the age—the question of the Wilmot proviso, suggests, with & wide margin for com- promise, the greatest difficuitics of adjustment, and the greatest hazards to existing party organizations. The bill of Mr. Douglass, which at first contemplated the admission of Calfornia ony as a State into the Union, has been since modisied so as to include the territory of New Mexico. embracing all the territory acquired by the late treaty, within the limits of the pro- pored State of California. No, as in the admissom of a State, the question of tlavery is left to the legis ‘or to ® popular convention of such State, the Douglass, o8 modified, covers the whole. d circumvents the whole difficulty of the Ty question. ut we ap} end that that dill wiil not pass, northe plan of Mr. Clayton, nor the Mieso ri compromise, nor the compromise of Mr. Underwood, which goes farther, by excluding slavezy north of the ling, and explicitly guaranteeing it on the south side of 36° 30’. We ap- prehend that not one of these schemes can the House. prehend that no goveroment, terri- torial or State. oan be given to California this session. We apprebend that nothing short of a separate bill for New Mexico and California, with the exprees letter and. phraseology of the interdict 1 tained in the 6th article of the Ordi 6 of '57, will satisfy the House. apprehend that that identical thing, and nothing lees, will be accepted by the House. ‘We expect 8 good part of this session will be taken up with this subject of slavery, and that the result will be to strengthen the determination of the House to refase anything short of the absolute, unconditional, and un— compromising proviso. We expect the question to go over to the benefit of Gen. Taylor, and on thy Sth of 3 | March we expect his opinion upon the subject wil! be publicly disclosed.
