INTERRESTING INFORMATION RELATIVE TO THF CALIFORNIA GOLD REGION, THE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA, he, he. be, INFORMATION PROM LIEUT. LOESER. ‘We have been favered by Lieutenant Loeser, of ths 34 Artillery, a74 bearer of despatches from Governor Maron to the governn “3t et Washington, (who also Drought on about $20,000 of gold dust, which b ‘oF posited at Washington.) with a gene. rea fhe gold region, the climate, &o., of Califor..™ ad Mpys the geld region is very large, and there is suM- cient ore t> profitably employ one hundred thoasan@ pereons for ; enerations to come. So far as discovered, gold ie found in an extent of country four haa- dred miles long. by one hundred and fifty miles wids, and no particular portion seems more productive than another. In the river and on the flatilands, the gold @ust is found; but smong the rocks and in the high Jends it is found in lumps, from the size of a man’ hand to the sire of en ordinary duck shot, all of which is solid, and prerents the appearance of having Deen thrown up by a voleanic eruption. So plenty is the gold; that littlefoare is paid to the washing of it by those engaged when he left; the consequence of which $s, great quantities are thrown away. In the highlands, he was walking with a man who found a piece weighing about thirty-five pennywoig hte, worth $29, but which he purchased for $4. The piece is solid, and has the form of a perfect acorn on the top of it. He has bad it, just as it was found, converted into s breast pin. A man, by ordinary labor, may procure from $50 to $200 per cay. With regard to the climate, he saysit is sa- ubrious, at no time being #0 cold as to require more than a light blanket to sleepunder. When he left, the people were sleeping under the trees, without the fear Of sickness from exposure. The rainy eeason begins about the first of November, and continues until Mareb, though there are five clear days for every rainy one. Provisions are genersily high, at least such as eannot be obtained in the country, Flour is worth $80 per barrel, thovgh a fine bullock may be obtained for $3. Clothing is very high, and the demand is very great. The Indians, who have heretofore used no clothing whatever, now endeavour to imitate the whites, and will give any price for garments. The re. port relative to the Mormons requiring 30 per cent of all the gold found, he says, is a mistake. When the gold was first discovered, one of the leaders of that people demanded that amount from a}l the Mormons, Dut they remonstrated, and refnsed to pay it, which remonstrance eaured not the slightest diMculty among the people. He was in Sen Francisco when the gold was firet discovered, sbout forty miles from that place. The news was received one day, and the following mcrning, out of the whole company to which he was attached, every one deserted except two sergeants, and {eok with them all the horses belonging to the officers. In a few days the city was almost entirely deserted,and Col. Mason. the Governor of the territory, was, and has ever since been, obliged to prepare and cook his own food. A servant cannot be had at any price; and the roldiers have not sufficient pay for a month to subsist on for one week. The salary of the Governor is not rufficient to support him; and, like all others in the more wealthy circles of life, he is obliged to be bis own rervant. He epeaks of the country ae offering the greatest inducements to young men of enterprise, and thinks there is ample room and gold for hundreds of thousands. JOURNEY ACROSS TIK ISTHMUS OF PANAMA—ITS DANGERS AND DIFFICULTIES. In the present excity d condition of the public mind regarding California, and the various routes by which that modern Ophir can be reached, it is a matter of serious importance to the crowds of our fellow-citizens who are hurrying off, to be aware of the precise naturs of the difficulties they will have to encounter on the Pansma route, for which, on account of the great saving of distance, many are about to start. We have, therefore, taken considerable pains to obtain authentic and reliable information regarding this route, and herewith present to the public an account of it, written by a gentleman of this city, who, from a lengthened residence at Panama, and frequent jour peys across the Isthinus, is fully competent to give a ud correct idea of the route, and its dim.

Let ua suppose the traveller once safely arrived at THE TOWN OF CHAGRES. ‘This town, as it ir usualiy calied, but in reality vil- | lage. or collrction of huts. is, as is well known. situated | at the mouth of the river Chagres, where it empties Steeif into tne Atlantic ocean It is but » small villege. and the harbor is likewise small, theugh recure, It is formed by the jutting out of a patrow neck of land. and is defended by the | eartie, wbich ie built om a bigh bluff on the other side. | ‘The villege itself. aed have before said. is merely @ col- lection of buts, and is situated in the midst of a mp—at least, the ground is low, and the contioual raine whieh prevail at Chagres. keep it in a swampy condition ; so much 0, that logs of wood laid slorg the centre of the streets. to enable passengers to avoid the deep mud which is always to be found there.

What is the number of the present population, | oan- not ray. as it is doubtless filled with strangers—it for- merly contained from 6.000 to 7.000 inhabitants, and war a quiet, still city, where, during the day, nought bat the roundsof the convert and church bells dis- turbed the horses of the citizens in their graziogs in the public rquares, which were all overgrown with grass, The trade carried on consisted in importing dry goods from Jomaica, for the supply of the Isthme- nians, the neighboring produce of Veragua, the pearl islands, the towns of Chiriqui, David and their viciai- ties, avd the various little inland towns. Goods also were sent down te the per's of Payta, in Peru, and Guayequil, in the Ecuador. The returns imade for there goods. consisted in the province of the Isthmus, ruch as geld dust, hides, India rubber, pearl oyster shelle, (fem which the mother of pearl of commerce is made) sarsapariila,se. Agriculture is at low point on the Isthmus, as not enough sugar was raisad to fupply the city of Panama, and they devended for their supplies of wheat, flour, salt, sugar and groceries, on Peru or Jamaica, on the Atlantic sida. ‘The cli- mate is warm, say from £0 to 85deg all the year round =the rainy season long and severe. The nights in Penawa, however, are much cooler than usual in tro- pical climates. ITS MARKET AND ACCOMODATIONS are poor. On account of the extreme heat, firh that are caught in the morning are soft by the afternoon. Beef. goat's flesh and perk must also be eaten immediately after killing or else they will spoil Fowls and chicken are dear ; vegetables. such as yams, and the various fruits of the tropics. are scarce and dear Tea and coffer, a well as chocolate, ars ex- pensive; avd wines and liquors, on account of the ex- | pense of transportation acrors the lathmus, are like- | wite dear and of ivfe-ior quality.

Itis only within » few years that a public hotel has been estsblithed; previous to that, travellers had to de- pend on the hospitality of those to whom they carried letters of introduction, If there is any extraordinary influx of strangers to Panama, of course prices for accommodations will rise mized turnpikes they see the read as it is uk: With due care, person oan prererve bie bealth; still, the heavy rains aud co: tinval demp atmosphere render it necessary to take every precaution; for though healthy. when compared with Chagres, it is by no means a safe place for unac- climated strepgers from the North, And row. baving taken the traveller for California serore iLe Isthmus, let me conclude by giving » word Of advice.

(if they cacape delay and fever at Chagres,) they miy bave to wait weeks for a passage to San Francisco, and when the Jong wished for opportunity occurs, they will find themeelves unable to take it, as their expenses in Panama wil) have exhausted their means. Thus. situ- ated in astrange, unbealthy country, moneylers and friendless, their epirite deprersed by their situation. it requires no prophet to predict a heartrending te: nation to their golden schemes, Trusting that many of this eles of pass-ngers will pause and reflect ere they place themeelves in such an uofortupate posi- tion, I am, sir, your most obedient servant. New York, Dec. 17, 1848. VIATOR, DR. POYNTON’S LECTURE ON THE GOLD REGIONS OF CALIFORNIA. On Ssturday evening last, Or. Boynton gave a leo- ture, in the Tabernacle, to a large and respectable au- dence. on the elements of geology, and the geological formation of the gold regione of California. In con- fequence of the di-agreeabie state of the weather, and the occurrence of the great fire, which was thea raging in the Park theatre, the attendance was less than it probably would have been but for these cir- cumstances He begun by stating that he had been, himself, tra- Yelling through the western districts of America. for & period of seven or eight years, during which time he was eccupied in geological and mineralogical pureuits and be had been induced, attbe request of a number of gentiemen im the city, who were interested in the no real business is transacted there. The ACCOMMODATIONS FOR TRAVELLERS are reanty and inferior indeed, unless the place has | tered very much of late.

The crust of the earth was compoted chiefly of four distinct minerals, which were occnsionally found mixed up with a fifth and sixth clase, Up to a8 many xs nine, which'number constituted al! the original elements which formed the crast.

They must expect, while ranging in the mountains and hills of California, and traversing ite rivers and streams, in fearching for guld among the alluvial deposites and ands on the shores, tosieep in the open air, and to diepense with many of the juxuries to whiob they had been accustomed, They must take with them strong aud durable apparel, for in those regions tailors and joemskers are few and far between, and if there be any there they will have other fieh to fry, than mend- ing breeches, (Laughter) A few pairs of strong pa taloons, therefore, would be requisite, as also £01 flannel sbirte, wade very loore; and as there may be a good deal of wading in rivers, pair or two of good watsr-procf boots, wight prove very essential to chose cautious of their health. If the information which hes iately arrived from California be correct asto the immense quantities of gold found there, there can be no doubt but those who go to that region will find the mineral in great abundance ; and on the authority of mineralogical and geological ecience, I have no hesitation in susing that it will be found in abundance ulong the Sacramento for a thou- rand yearatocome. (Great applause) The half of this etory has not been told yet Still, however, there &re inconveniences whieh ought not to be overiooked by those who think of trying their luck as gold seek- ers. It is necexrary that they should possess a strong. bardy constitution—able to bear much fatigue and endure may privations, They must make up their minde to bard Jiving, sleeping in tents and work. ing im water, with other difficulties and herdehips, It would be well if all who inteud going there, should go in parties of ten or twelve, who would’ be devoted to each other, heart and soul, and who could place in each other the most implicit confidence, By this means they would effeot the object more easily and rapidly, and be able to give mutval atristance and protection to each other in care circumstances might require it, The learned gentleman concluded amid great applause by making some practical remarks in addition to those already given, to such as might go to search for gold. Fine perticles of yellow mica were sometimes difused through quartz and other minerals, which the inex- perienced took for gold. This could be at once de- tected by a emall magnifying glass; or by scratching it with the point ofa needle or some instrument when it would crumble, instead of making a bright streak, if it were yellow mica, A drop of nitric acid placed upon gold would have no effect, while on the baser metals it would have the effect of changing their color, and biackening the surface. Again, in the rand from which gold particles were picked and washed, there was usually an impalpable dust left, which, heretofore had been collected by mixing it with quicksilver, when the quicksilver immediately dissolved the gold us readily as water ditsolved sugar or salt, forming a soft. putty- like mass ; and then, by pressing thisin buckskin, the quicksilver was forced through the pores of the buck- tkin. leaving the gold behind, with a very sma'l quanti- ty of the quicksilver, which was entirely evaporated, by heating the mass. (Applaure) The lecturer here made an experiment with tin aod mercury, where a timilar effect was produced. He then stated that Commodore Stockton, Major Heies, and other gentle- men, now working ona vein of gold in Virginia, were able, by an approved apparatus for washing, to effect the tame object by dispensing with the use of quick- silver. The learned gentleman closed by saying that, asthe invumetable small streams which empty them- telves into the Sacramento become flooded during the rainy searons, they would bring down the particles of gold that are crumbling from the decomposing veins on the mcuntains, and would continue to enrich the roll on itr ebor: for ® thousand years to 001 (Great applause On Mon enipg next, Dr. Boynton will lecture in the rame , on the natural creation and forma- tion of the earth and the heavenly bodies, when £0: allusions will ated, with re gold regions of California, [From the New London Star.

(From the London News, Noy. 28 ] One of the two presidential conterts, to the istues of which the world has, for scme time back, been looking with no little anxiety, has terminated, and has, in ite Tesult, justified the expectations of the friends of so- cial order and international peace. General Taylor is yrerident elect of the American republic, Tae official Geclaration ¢f bis election will not be made until Fe- bruary next, when it will bs pronounced in the Senate, in pretence of the Houre of Representatives, It isnot teebnically correct, therefore, to say that he is yet elected, the only step as yet taken being the choice of the electoral colleges in the different States on which devolves the election of President The election of General Taylor is, therefore, to far. but an inference from the fact, that, being the whig candidate, a ma- as said jority of the aggregate number conrtituting all the electoral college heren’ to e whigs, and returned as bis ad- It is quite competent, however, for the elec- al colleges in the States which have gone for him to their votes, when they meet. in favor of another party; but this, unless they were impelled to it by some extraordinary change in opinion in the ranks of the party iteelf. they are by no iweans likely to at- tempt. Although General Taylor, therefore, is not yet actually President elect, his eleetion is now 60 certain, that we may regard the event as already a fait accompli. It is mot so mnch upon the success of the individual as upon that of the party that wa have at this mo- wt to congratulate ourselves ‘The days when violent men on either sid avoided, and when the rulers as firm in pursuin, maintaixin, pted are men of moderate views coneiliatory polley a home as in tranquillity abroad. It is the moderate as triumphed in Amarica, cers. The pacific aspirations of the party are fully typified in the views of its candidate. Aithough his profession is that of war, General Taylor is a man of peace The duty which develved upon him in Mexico ¢ performed reluctantly, but gallantly. His mode- ration in vietcry was equal to bis skilland courage in battle. The repidity with which he rose in the estimation of bis countrymen excited uneasivess in the mind of Mr. Polk, not only as to his own chances of re-election, but also as to the continuance of the ascendency of his party. He accordingly checked the career of his victorious gene- ral at Monterey, and thought that he had nipped in the bud the civic honors which seemed to be blossom. ing for bir, by sending General Scott to reap the chief gloriee of the campaign in the heart of the Mexican republic. But, like many other politicians, e astute then ingenious, he overshot his mark. The raecution of jone his dut; d-ared him friends. By the month of May last, ufficiently developed them- yin America the ne- cessity of having a moderate man at the helm during the pext preridential term.

It ison this account, that we have rearon to rejoice at the defeat of General Cass, This men is ro constituted. that even in times of profound tranquillity he would have been dangerous and diffl- cult to deal with. His hatred to England is as in- stinctive. and quite as inexplicable, asisthat of a bull to anything scarlet; and he is quite as ready, reckless of coprequences to darh the object which excites bis ire. In a time like the prerent. his success would bave greatly added to the political perplex- j itles in which the world is slready involved. To none was this more apparent than to hisown coun- trymen; and many, whose political sympathies are identical with bis own, but who preferred peace to a party triumph, either voted against him, or ab- tteined from voting, on that accoun' With so tempting @ prize as Cuba before his eyes, nothing is mere li than thet he would have been ambitious of sigpalizing bis admipistration by rome perilous coup d'etat. And, indeed. it is ax well that the rumored negotiation concerning that Isl at Madrid, had not been circulated earher in the presidential cam- pss or awkward pledges might have been exacted n respect to it, By Taylor’s success, Cass has no} only been defeated, but also virtually laid upon the | thelf Since the death of General Harrison, a month after his inuuguration, and the experience which the Union bad, consequent upon that event, of Mr. Tyi both parties are chary of nominating men very fa advanced in life, to the presidency By the time the minations take place in 1852, General Cass wiil be uated. We may, therefore, congratulate our- if not upon his entire withdrawal trom public least upon an end being put to his power for mircbief. We eball hear no more of him, unless he returns to his innocuous blaster in the Senate. but, however sincere our approbation of the cbatac- ter of the new American President, and of the pringi- ple of bis party in their foreign policy, we cannot forget their inveterate attachment to commercial protection, | Prominent amongst the articles of their political creed | is their advoracy of a hightariff, It ia certainly not to support the tariff bill of 1846 that General Taylor bar been elected by the whi at least it was not on the understanding that b the euffrages cf Pen uid do Fo, that he receited Ivania, His success indicates, to n certain e ction out of doors; but it is not | ecaclusive as to there being any immediate danger cf reactionary measures in the legislature. General Taylor, without the two Houres of Congress, is impotent. in this respect. For tha time bei he her got the lower houre with bim}; but there dee\ded democratic majority ia the Senate, the m bere of which are not to be managed like @ flock of sheep, or to be cejoied, like rome other upper houses th know of, into obedience to the behests of the povernment existing for the time being, Any bill, therefore, which might pass the House of Repre- sentativesof a decidedly reactionary character, would be dispored of without a hearing in the Senate. But it remains to be proved that the House of Representa- tives, ie diepored to approve of such a measure, although the whips are in the majority. What indictment oan they prefer against the bill of 18467 Chey must a mit that it has disappointed their hopes and faisifi their predictions. a They foretold, and earnestly hoped for, ag ite result, a largely deficient revenue - instead of which the exchequer has overflowed. They pro- dicted the ruin of the home manufacturer, instead of which he bas flourished a* before, at the tame time that there have been incrested consumption and comfort amongrt Ihe mares, They prophesied that the Ame rican could not compete with the Enropean farmer in the English markets, instead of which, he has poured bis accumulated roducts wnceasingly apon cur sbore In what, then, has the bill of 183 feikd? If im no one object for which it was framed, why seeh to disturb it? It has falied in one thing, which, however, wan not amongst the objects for which it was framed—it has failed in giving the manufacturers the protection which they desire, It i# on this plea, then, alone, that that they can reek to overthrow it; and even, if the bulk of the party has the hardiheod to admit that their policy it grounded on such relfish considerations, we much question whether the whigs from the south and West, which sre mort benefited by free trade, will be found ready to sta tons of the eou by them.

Republics are accured of being prone to war, In this instance, the American republic has given a prac- tical contradiction to the assertion. We trust that the other greac republic, which has, as yet, but com- pleted ite birth, will hasten to imitate the example. ‘With Cavaignac and Taylor at the helm of affairs, in their rerpective countries, the world might breathe freely for @ while, which is more than it could do with Cass and Louis Bonaparte., Whatever may be the fate of popular governments in Europe, « greater testimony could vot have been afforded of the stability of democratic institutions in America than that just offered by the calmness with which twenty millions of people, scattered over ko vast a surface, and representing 80 many conflicting interests, have proceeded, in a time of almost universal political ex- citement, to that which is the greatest trial of their system—the election of a chief magistrate. And it is not uninstructive to observe that, whilst ro many sys: tems have been tottering around us, and whiist it has been so fasbionable to malign the people as in every instance the sole cause of the wrecks which have taken place.and the confarion avd anarchy whictrhave prevailed, the only political fabric which has-not only stood firra emid the storm, but has not even been as- tailed by a menace, is that which rests upon a purely democratic batis, which, in fact, begins and ends in the people. (From the London Standard, Nov. 21.) The certainty of the eleotion of Gen. Taylor to the Presidency of the United States bas been hailed with almort universal satisfaction, as it is considered to identify bis government with the peaceful poliey which the present situation of Europe renders of much im- portance. The supporters of Gen. Cass, however, hold out the view that his real character has been much misunderstcod. Supreme Court—General Term, Present— Justices Strong, Huribut and Edwards.

It was not, howeVer, de- cided in that case, nor is it atallinferable from that statute, thats premature contract for that work would affect the validity of a subsequent estimate, or axsess- ment. The precedent contract would, doubtless, be invalid, and would create no charge against the owners of the lote, nor incumbrance upon their property ; neither should it have influence over commissionersin forming the estimate of the expexises of the projected improvement.
