The greatest excitement prevailed in all parts of the oity to-day, in consequence of the publication of later.and most important intelligence from California, Telative to the extent and richness of the gold mines of that country. In Wull street it was most intense, and the fever rages with renewed vigor. We have neyer, before seen anything like it. Every one was talking-about the letter published in the Herald; and ‘such was the excitement, that it had a» tendency to -oheok busi! transactions, to seme extent. The ‘brokers hardly knew what to make of the accounts re- seived—they want tosee the gold, nothing short of that will satisfy that class of speculators. If they will wait patiently » few weeks, there will be no scarcity of the precious metals. We kave had no arrival yet at Panama direct from San Francisco, and there has, therefore, been no opportunity to make shipments to this or any other American Atlantic port. As soon as the line of steamers on the Pacific commence run- ming, the gold willcome slong fast enough to satisfy the most voracious. Quotations for stocks improved. to-day, at the first board; but the sales were not large, and very little dis. position was exhibited to operate.

The net profits of the Bank of Missouri, exclusive of the branches, from the 1st of January, 1847, to the 1st of January, 1849, amounted to $298,209 71, which isan average, for the whole time, of about seventeen and one-third per cent per annum, There is not, probs- bly, another bank in the United States that oan show, for the same period, a larger act profit. The capital of the mother bank is only $600.000 The branches have an aggregate capital of the same amount, The annexed statement exhibits the quotations in this market for the principal spesulative stocks, for each day of the past week, and at the close of the week previous.

In 1838 the number of Spanish vessels engaged in the trade was 246, nnd in mm years the number has been reduced to 81. Asan evidence of the increase in the trade between the two countries, it is only neoes- to state that im 1833 the amount of tonnage which entered the ted States from Cuba was 186,747 tons, unt cleared, for Cuba 164.- 779 tons; whilein 1848 the amount entered was 307,791 bats and # tween this country ai ‘orto Rico, in each of the past sixteon years is not near so large as that employed in the trade with Cuba; but the Porto Rico trade is ducted almost entirely in American vessels.

In fact, y no idea of who will be the .members of the cabi- net. The only ene determined upon fully 1s Crit- tenden, Spencer of New York has no chance whatever, Berrien, Clayton, and Reverdy Johao- son, he esteems very highly; but as Crilienden detests Berrien, 1 doubt if he will have a place. I find, as I told you before, that the General is a stronger whig than I had any idea of, He says that the democratic party is the old federal party. In his intercourse with his fellow citizens he is, unquestionably, the most thoroughly democratia public man I have yet seen in the country. He hates all parade and ceremony, and a police officer of New York puts on vastly more dignity. His manner is very winning, being wohlly fdevoid of aflectation. Now for his political opinions. He dixcountenances altogether the annexation ot Cuba; and I verily believe af he could give baok. California and New Mexico he would. He looks upon the acquisition of those countries as a rob- bery. It negotiations are pending when he comes into office, tor the purchase of Cuba, he will break them off, if it can be done with any show of decency. He is not tor purchasing Cuba, ex- cept in the last extremity, and that last pxiremiy. being the well authenticated efforts of the Englisl pvernment to obtain possession of the island. he occurrence of such a contingency he wholly Tejects a8 improbable and almostimpossible; as he believes England is not and cannot be in a position to needlessly affiont this nation, The tanfl, he thinks, should be partially modi- fied in some of the details which have been point- ed out to him as wanting emendation. But he does not tavor the resutution of the tariff of 1842. He attaches great importance to the slavery ques- ton, believing that the popular mind of the Ni is more strongly agitated with the subject than it really is. The reason ot this ly receiving letters on the subject.
