The news which we puv/ish to-day, being three weekslater from California, witl attract the obser- vation of the whole community. The statements confirming the vast gold discoveries in that region, coming from our correspondent, will pot only command the attention of the commercial world, but of civilization {tself. We have arrives *t * new pericd, a new era, a fresh crisis, in the his- ‘tory of commerce, and even of civilization. A spirit is generated from those discoveries which 18 nore active, more intense, and more widely spread, than that which agitated Europe in the time of Columbus, Cortez and Pizarro, These late ac- vounts will be read with great interest, and we de- sire our readers to watch the effects which they will certamly produce on the commercial and other interests around us. Some of the views given in our money article, to-day, will be found worthy of the deepest attention and the closest perusal. ; According to these recent advices, the gold re- gion of California is the most wonderful that has’ ever been discovered. There seems to be no doubt that, in a short time—probably in less than two those mines can be made to produce one hundred millions per year. The region is the most extensive of the kind in the world, being eight hundred miles in length and one hundred in widths with every indication that gold exists ia large na- tive masses, in the rocks and mountains of the Sierra Nevada. Dut these vast gold mines are no the only mineral discoveries that have been made The quicksilver in the same region, seems to beas abundant as the gold; sothat there are proximated to each other two metals, which will have a most important ¢flect and utility in making th gold mines more valuable. Heretofore, the gold and silver mines of Mexico and Peru have been valu: | able to Spain, because she porseseed a monopoly of the quicksilver mines at Almidea, id the pe- nineula. This is surpassed by Cualiforuia. According to the last aceouats now given to the public, emigrants were crowdiog iu from every part of the Pacific to Califoraia—from M-x co, Peru, the Sandwich Islands, Oregon; aad we have no doubt, by this time the British posses- sions im the East, China, and everywhere else ia that region, are furnishing emigrants to the won- derful region of California. In leas than a year there will probably be a population of one to two hundred thousand souls, all digging for gold, and capable of producing rom one to three hundred mul teons of dollars worth per annum of pure gold, to be thrown on the commerce of the world at one fell swoop. This will produce results that no one ean at this time estimate. ‘These are the general views of the productive. nese ofthis region, and the prospect betore us for the next few years. What te to be the effect of vast discoveries on the commerce of the old communes, on New York, Lon- and other great commercial cities? Toe only n gence mode by which we can arrive ac ct solution of this problem, is to eaquire aud in the effect which 1 haw already produced We have ween thet peers of every etnies Rave it pintormia ot scale, and on a more extended b: duced by the influx annually of a huadred mil- lions of pure gold throughout the commercial world, and particularly in this couatry and Eu- rope. Such a vast addition to the gold curreacy ot the world will at once disturb the prices and value of all productions and merchandise, to a similar extent to that which we see 1a Monterey and San Francisco. The prices of every commo- dity will, therefore, rise extravagently during the next few years, according to the produce.of gold trom that region. Now, in a nsmg market, everything prospers—every one gets rich, civili- zation expands, industry increases, and all or- ders of society are benefitted. As soon as the first crop of gold from Cualitoraia reaches New York, the impulse which it will give to commercial enterprise, and the advance in the price of everything which it will cause, will be tremendous. The bank currency will be expana- ed, for the basis will be abundant; real estate will amcreaze in value, agricultural productions and agricultural labor will advance at once, ten, fifteen, twenty, thirty, or forty per cent—even to as great an extent, perhaps, as was witnessed when the de- mand came from Ireland for the food of this coun- try to feed the starving [rish. New York and her sister cities will be the centre of all those revolu- tionary movements which are certain to spring from the gold productions of California, on the commerce of the whole civilized world. Ship building will increase in value, steamboats will be wanted, the railroads projected across the Isthmus 1n various places in Mexico and Central America, will be all pushed to completion; and we would not be surprised to see an active attempt made, under the auspices of the federal government, to construct a railroad across the continent, through the South Pass, from St. Louis, or some other point on the Mississippi, to San Francisco. The discovery of these great gold mines will no doubt form the agent of the greatest revolution in the commercial centres of the world, and on the civil- ization of the human race, that has ever taken place since the first dawn of history. ‘These are our views, carefully deduced from common sense, and the ordinary facts recorded in histery, as well as developing themselves in Cali- fornia. Are they extravagant?—are they fanciful? ‘We don’t think they are. We think we talk so- berly, religiously, and quietly. New York will hencetorth, from its position to the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, probably in less than a quarter of a century, present a population greater than that of Paris, and display evidences ot wealth, grandeur, magnificence, and industry, to an equal, if not greater, degree, than what we see in London at this day. We expect that in the next twenty-five years, we shall make as rapid & march 1m this metropolis, and in the neigh- boring cities, as any city has done during the last twenty-five centuries. There 1s no neces- sity for all going to Californta. Those who re- main, and will raise produce, manufacture goods, build ships, construct steam engines, and advance the fine arts, will enjoy the benefits of those dis- coveries to. as great am extent as those who ge to the Sacramento to dig for gold. All the results of the labors of these diggers must come to this me- tropolis, swell its magnificence, and increase the intensity of its action in commercial affairs. Even an a political pomt of view, the discovery of these wonderful gold mines in California, under the gov- eramentof the United States, will have a wondertul and astounding effect. We would not be surprised to see, in @ short time, all the old provinces of Mexico, ag far as the Isthmus of Darien, knocking for admission into this Union; while, on the other side, the British provinces of Canada, and even the Spanish island of Cu@a, may be begging and praying to be let 1m at the same time, and ‘be per- mntted to enjoy some of the vast advantagus, and participate a little in the energy, which this vast confederacy will exhibit to the astonished world. When Col Mason, and the government eflieers and troops in that fregion—when, also, Col. Ste- venson, formerly of this city, and the youthful men who accompanied him, retura to New York, and exhibit their thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of dollars, as we ex- pect they will do in less yéar, these won- Gerful faets and discovories will produce their natural and legitimate 1mpressions on the public mind. Wait and see! Important Cuagags or Jupags anp Verpicts or Junixs.—Two important charges have recently been delivered by two of our local judges, and two verdicts, or rather one, for in the other case the jury could notagree, have been rendered by diflerent juriea, which have attracted a great deal of attention inthiscommunity. We allude, first, to the charge delivered by Judge Daly, in the Court of Sessions, in the case of Mary Fowler, indicted for keeping a disorderly house, but in which no verdict was rendered, in consequence ef the disagreement of the jury ; and, secondly, to the charge of Judge Oakley, in the libel case against Moses Y. Beach, which resulted in a verdict of ten thousand dollare againgt the defendant, In consequence of the change 1n the constitution of the State of New York, by which the judges are elected by the people, it may be expected that their judicial acts will be hereafter more scru- tinized than they were before, and, in fact, become more than ever subjects of popular discussion among people of intelligence. Judge Daly’s charge has received a great deal of condemaation, in consequence of his stating some peculiar cir- cumstances which surround certain descriptions of society in this large metropolis, and the difficulty of controlling the disreputable portion of society by any species of legislation, or by any distinct ac- tion of courts and juries. No doubt can exist of the absolute historical truth of the views preseated by Judge Daly ; but it was questionable policy in him, occupying the position which he does, to ad- mit such a view of existing facts in his charge. His best course, and the most popular one, would have been to have assumed the extremest moral ground that a judge or a magistrate could assume, Bo matter how impracticable or impossible, to re- duce it to action in an intelligent commuatty. The difficulty which attended Judge Daly in grap- pling with this abuse im the social system, was felt by the jury in an equal degree, and hence the disagreement of that body, and the impossibility | of their coming to a decision at all, The other legal matter is the eharge of Judge Oakley, in the libel case of Mr. Beach, and the verdict ot the jury. Judge Oakley has been de- nounced for travelling out of the strictly impartial course which a judge on the bench shoz!d follow, and of becoming, in fact, more a prosecutor thaa an impaitial distributor of legal lore. The jury are also accused of rendering the verdict contrary to strict law, and coupling that verdict with condi- tions which they had no power to do, and in which they acted contrary to law. Some fouadation may exist tor those views, for certainly it is a principle of law that the verdicts of a jury shall have refer- ence only to the particular case before them. No jury has a right to travel out of the record, and im- pose conditions or a fine, or a punighment of any kind, beyond the facts of the particular case sub- mitted to them. Under this view of the matter, probubly the case will be carried up to the Court of Appeuls, and the whole matter be reviewed, as it ought to be, so that mere popular prejudice may not regulate decisions, but that strict law should be attended to by both the judge on the bench and the juryin the box Judges and juries are all amrnable to the community, and must abide by and follow the rules of strict law.

Vast improvements have been recently made 1a the machinery for printing newspapers, both 19 this country and in Europe. nour fist page we give an engraving of the remarkable machinery by which the New York Herald 1s now printed, and which was invented about a year ago by Mr. R. M. Hoe, of this city, who 1s now in Paris, con- structing similar machines for the newspaper presses of that metropolis, Accompanying this eny/ graving, we also give a description of the mode of working the preas, with a description also from the London Times of a similar piece of ma- chinery, which has been invented in London, aad by which that journal, according to the last ac- counts, 1s now worked daily. These present curious and interesting factsin the progress of the newspaper press in both conti- nents, in London and in New York. Tne origi- nality of both inventions is no less striking than the contrast of the diflerent species of machinery. The London machinery 1s enormously large, and complicated toa remarkable degree, expeasive in its operation and its cost, and yet does not seem to perform its work with more facility or greater expedition than that invented by Mr. Hoe, of this city, and by which the Herald is now printed. The Lonaon machinery has eight small revolving cylsn- ders, with sixteen persons employed to feed and take away the sheets—while the New York ma- machinery, as may be seen any day in our establishment, has only four small cylinders, employing eight persons to fill and take away the sheets, and yet prints the same number of impressions per hour—namely, between eight and ten thousand. The manifest superiority, in economy and simplicity, in favor of the New York machinery over the London, 18 striking and extra- ordinary. The space occupied by each of the machines is just as great a contrast. But this 19 not all. The same ingenious man, Mr. Hoe, ia now engaged in constructing a piece of machinery, to be attached toour presses, which will take off sheets, and dispense with the service ot the four persons now employed for that purpose, An ap paratus of that kind is already in successful operation in that branch of our establishment in which we print all the theatrical bills that aro iseued by the theatres of this city. ‘We might point out in detail a number of other characteristics in which the Herald printing ma- chinery has a manifest superiority, in economy, in swiitness, in cheapness, in efficiency, and even in rapidity, over the Times’ machinery in London. The machinery of the Herald, consisting of two presses of this description, is, in its preseat condi- tion, capable of printing over twenty thousand impressions an hour, and, in case of emergency, might reach twenty-five thousand ; thus enabling us, in case of necesity, to print, hereafter, and tssue, 1m the short spac- of fowr hours, nearly one hwmared thousand smpressions of the New York Herald. This is done,too, at one-half of the expeuse, and, probably, one-fifth of the complication of the Times’ machinery, as indicated by the description given of it by that journal. Thus, 1t will be seen, that in some of tho greatest improvements of the present wonderful age of the world, Brother Jonathan has thrown his venerable ancestor, Juhn Bull, immeasurably behind—and that in a few years the latter, Heaven take care of his woul, will be utterly annihilated and forgotten. In every thing connected with civilization we are rapidly surpassing the ancient isles of Britain, mn newspapers, in enterprise, in commerce, in. rail- roads, in steam, in electric telegraphs, even in plundering and robbing the neighvoring nations— while we are still ot one blood, we are surpassing and outstripping our highly respectable ancestors of the old continent, We must admit that the British government, and the British race in Eu- rope, have distinguished themselves, tor the last century, in the extension of their empire to every part of the world in which the sua shines. They have plundered and. robbed Hindoosten and the eastern nations of Asia, to an incredible extent; but ever in these characteristics of = powertul and unscrupulous people, we. caf beat them in the man- ner we have tekken trom Mexico a tract of coun- try tiger than all Hindoostan, equal to all Europe, and richer in gold mines than the whole world put together, In acience, in civilization, in prety, in Teligion, in robbery, and annexing our neighbors’ property, in schools, inevery thing, we are already equal, and, in the most important things, rather ahead of our British ancestors. We beg our co- temporaries of the British press to ‘acknowledge the corn,” before we take it into our head to establish a republic in the good old British islands. Unirxo States Senators prom THe West.— Senator Hannegan, of Illinois, has, it seems, lost his election as Senator of the United States, in consequence of his being opposed to the Wilmot proviso, and for having taken sides somewhat with the Southern policy of Mr. Polk’s administration. General Cuss’s election has been much opposed in the Michigan Legislature, and he, also, will pro- bably be thrown overboard for the same reason. These are very strong facts bearing on the politi- cal tendency of the trmes, It 18 very evident that no Northern man, who may hereafter take a posi- tion in the remotest degree favorable to the South on the slavery question, can have the slightest chance of maintaining his position at home, under the agitation of the anti-slavery orators of the North. On the opposite tack, Southern men must take the other ground, to maintain their position in that section of the country. Uader this view of the matter, it is very evident that when the next Congress convenes, after the ensuing elections, thoee sections of the country will take an uacom- promising ground on the slavery question. What is to be the result of such a condition of things, time only can tell.
