From our London Telegraphic Reporter, Lonpen, Jan. 27, 1849. The boisterous state of the weather has prevent, ed the due arrival ot several of the channel stea- mers this morning. The gale has been very severe and a good deal of damage has been done on both the French and English ceasts. The returns of the Bank of France show that the netes in circulation have decreased during the last week, by two and a half millions. The Trea- sury balance has increased by five millions, stand- ing at 31¥ millions. The bullion has been aug- mented by five and a half millions. The stock of bullion now amounts to 280 millions, against 432 millions of iseues. The state of business in Paris is very unsatisfactory; great discouragement pre- vaile, and t:ade is stagnant. There can be no doubt that the violence mani- fested by the extreme republican party in the Na- tional Assembly, 1s the cause of this uneasy state of feeling. It is almost universally feared that a crisis of some kind 19 approaceing, and it is only as to its nature that opinions vary. The efforts made in the Assembly to suppress public opinion, show the determination of this par- ty to resist to the Jast. All moderate men are dis- gusted.

Lrverroot, Jan. 27, 1849, The accounts from Dublin, which left that city last night, do not contain any political news of the least importance. With regard to the state prison- ers convicted at Clonmel, we have to state that writs of error to reverse the judgment of the court of Queen’s Bench, have been applied for in be- half of Mr. O’Brien, Mr. McManus, and Mr. O’Donahue. Mr. Meagher declines to go to the Lords with his case, and is prepared to abide his fate, be it what it may. The writs alluded to are returnable 10 the House of Lords. Mr. Duff has failed in his application to be admitted to bail. Hise case, although one that demanded the most favorable coneideration, has, with a consistency quite in keeping with the mercitul administration of Englieh Jaw in Ireland, been refused, although bail to any amount was ready to be entered into for his appearance. e It now appears that State prisoners are to be punished, and that most severely, even before their trial. Never was any man treated with greeter harshness, and persecuted with greater cruelty, than C. G. Dufly. Shame on the man who calle himself a liberal, to disregard all the principles of charity and brotherly feeling, in order to secure a triumph over a political opponent. The trial of Mr. Dufly 1s fixed for the 6th Feb. The judges who are to preside at the commission are Mr. Justice Jackson and Judge Ball. Markets. Livsnroot Corton Manxxr, Jan. 27—11 A. M.

In another part of to-day’s paper we give fourteen days later intelligence from all farts of Europe, and twenty-hve days later—and,we believe, exclusive—intelligence from California, the great El Dorado on the Pacific coast. The news from Europe 1s singularly important ina commercial point of view. The remarkable advance in all American .stocke—the increase of sales, including, also, the business of the produce and other markets, indicate that a new spirit of activity pervades England, and will, perhaps, reach other points ot Eurepe. The British consols have risen nearly two per cent—a fact which is new in the history of British stock affairs. The government, in order to meet the claims of Cob- den and the financial reformers, have determined to reduee its expenditures, thereby meeting the demands of the people, while it indicates the con- viction that peace in Europe will be preserved — One of the principal elements in this revival in trade and commercial affairs, 13 the extraordinary activity which has risen throughout Europe in connection with the discovery of the gold mines in California, and the awakened spirit of adventurers toward that region. It really would appear that the accounts of the wonder- of the recent war, will soon be awakened and exeited by the sams | matia. The Mexicon republic, with anorgenized government and am industrious and energetic peo- people, could coon make itsell the great highway between Europe and Culifornia ; for she possesses the means and the accommodations to turaish a transit to emigrants better than any mode that hes been yet discovered or devised. But this ie not all in the way of agitating and kicking up the excite- ment for gold bunting ; for itis now broken outin thre regicn of the world. California presents an | FE]! Dorado of the most tempting description on the | Pacific coast; but the Atlantic side is not without | its gold mines and mineral wealth. During the last few months, an old gold mine in Virginia | hae been re-opened, which ought to create as much astonishment in the présent golden age of the world, as any thing that has yet occurred in the diseovery of mineral wealth. While the attention of our citizens seems to be direeted to Californie, where we have had such glowing descriptions of the immense deposit of goid, we have thought proper to make some 1p, | quiries about the developements recently made much nearer home. We have reference to the mine of Stockton, Heies, Dexter & Co., near Fredenckeburg, 1n Spottevivania county, Va. This property was purchased, a short time ago, by Mr. Heiss, formerly of the Unton, one of the gen- tlemen composing the firm, and after associating others with him, an expenditure of several thou- sand dollars was made to explore and develope it, Fortunately, they soon found regular quartz veins, containing gold in considerable quantities. Commodore Stockton then became the purchaser of an interest, and having a charter granted by t%e Virginia Legislature, the company immediately organized for practical operations. Since June Jast, the date of that organization, the company have been engaged in sinking their working shafts, erecting their machinery, besides numerous out buildings necessary for their works, and with the aid of R. C. Taylor, of Philadelphia, one of the first mineralegists in the country, they have opened nearly fifty quartz veins, from six inches te nine feet thick, a majority ot which con- tain gold. The only vein that ore has been taken from, is a very rich one known ae the Dexter vein, and in fact, the first one opened on the property. From this vein, five or six tons of ore was taken out in August, and gent to Mr. Warwick, of this city, for the purpose of being smelted in his fur- nace at Ilarlem. This was a mere experiment ; yet the yield was near five hundred dollars of gold to the ten of ore. Sixty pounds of ore was sent to the mint at Philadelphia for experimental purposes, and the company received in gold for it four hun- dred and ninety-four dollars. No other working of the dre took place until the first of January; and this was only continued Mas. Botixn’s Recrrarions or Suaxsruaws: A New Tneatnicat. Mania.— The accounts which reach usm every way from Boston, of the sensa- tion whieh has been produced by Mrs. Pierce Butler, erdevant Fampy *emble, are perfectly novel, as well as exciting, in the history of dramatic taste in this counmy. It seems that thie accomplished amd extraordi- nary woman, who csmmenced her readings of Shakspeare go very quietly in Boston, nas already created an enthusiasm among all the higher classes in that region, which is without a parallel for the Jast twenty or thirty years, The Italian Opera opened there a few nights before; but at hassuak isto insignificarce and emptiness, before the supe- rior attraction presented by Mrs. Butler's recita- tions, She hae given three or four entertainments, each of which has been erowded to. suffucation by. the best classes of society, and each of which has yielded.to her many hundreds ot dollars, This is notan ordinary matter. It 1s a novel de- yelopement, that will increase in its enthusiasm, and epread throughout the country, to a remarka- ble extent, before it subsides. Durins the last few years, theatrical, even of the highest character, have declined very sensibly among the intelligent and intellectual classes of society—so much so that ithas been with difficulty the highesttragedians have been enatled to draw full houses. These new entertainments presented by Mrs. Butler, will bring into the field a.vast class of society who, from habit, association or prejudice, have denied them- selves the gratification of attending the theatresia all our large cities—the religious, moral and most refined portions of society in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and other cities, whoseldom patronise the ordinary theatres, although they entertain them- selves very much with perusing Shukspeare and other English dramatists. These new entertain- ments oflered by Mrs. Butler meet the tastes, the wishes, and the prejudices of this the best class of American society, and the movement commenced | by that gifted lady will effect a revolution in the public taste, among the best classes, relative to the drama. The ordinary class of tragedies und come- dies performed at our theatres, together with the Itahan Opera, and such kinds of amusements, will receive a blow from this new developement of pub- lic taste, the extent of which cannot at present be measured. Melo-drama, farce, and low comeay will pursue their usual course; but the higher class of American society, the real aristocracy, have abandoned such amusements for years past, nor have they come out at all in support of what is called Ivalian or English opera, as it 18 exhibited in some ef the theatres. This new species of en- tertainment offered by Mrs. Butler, sparkling with wit and genius, and elevated by fise taste, will cal] forth this class of society, and produce a perfect furor throughout our large cities. Mrz. Butler will probably remain for some time to the 8th, with six hands. The product of that ful discoveries in California, and the movements created by themin the United States, have de- veloped a tresh spirit of adventure in England and other parts of Europe, that may check and stem the tide of popular revolution which has been driving at such a furious rate in that part of the werld for the last year. The discovery of the mines of Mexico and Peru by Spain, in the six- teenth century, and the impulse given to adven- tures in that region, had a simular effect on politi- cal affairs in Europe in that age. The great mass of the floating population in Europe who have agitated political reform and democratic opinions, are,being affected by the California fever, and perhaps this latter disorder may overpower and check the former. France seems to be proceeding slowly in her career, endeavoring to find the channel through which a republican governmentcanmove. A new election will take place in April, and until that shall have been determined, things will remain in pretty much the condition in which they now are. Neither the President nor the Assembly possesses sufficient power to rule each other. In Italy, the Pope, as a temporal prince, seems to have reached the last step of his exietence. The Roman people are determined to put an énd to the Popedom, at all hazards. Elsewhere, political affairs are in statu quo. The intelligence from California, which we give eo full and so complete, and which was re. ceived by us by private express in an incredibly short time from that region, is confirmatory of all the previous accounts which have been heretofore received of the extraordinary richness of the mi- neral wealth of that new acquisition to this repub- lic. According to our. accounts, it 1s estimated that four millions of dollars in gold dust are com- ing to the United States, and that about a million of dollars worth remains at San Francieco, await- ing an opportunity to come in the same direction. The recent emigrations from th:s country to Cali- fornia, had not begur: t> pour in. The mineral wealth of both California and Oregon 1s completely astounding. This intelligence comes to us so di- reeily, and with so much authenticity, that no one can doubt its accuracy. We refer our readers to the ample and full particulars brought’by this express, which will be found in another column. The effect of this intelligence on trade and com- merce in this country, as well as on emigration to California from the United States, as well as trom Europe, will be felt ina stronger and stronger de- gree from this day forward. A new and remark- able era in commercial prosperity is beginning to open on this happy land, which will make the pub- lic mind thirst more and more for additional intelli- gence from both of those distant regions—Europe and Calitormia. Mr. Atherton, the gentleman who brought this news to us by special express, 18 a native of Bos- ton, and,a man of great intelligence. He has lived in California for two years, and purposes returning in two or three weeks. He 1s familiar with that portion of the continent, with the people and their manners and customs, and possesses much infor- mation which would be of great value to the pub- lic. We hope he may be induced to deliver a few lectures on the subject before he takes his depar- ture, especially in relation to the gold diggings, the manner of gathering the precious metal, and the best overland route to El Dorado. The American Gold Mines—UValiforfia on the Pacific—Virginia on the Atlantic. The most recent accounts from California, by the way of Mexico and New Orleans, confirm in the strongest manner, all the previous descriptions of the unbounded wealth and romantic produc- tions of the gold mines of California. The United States stup Lexington is now on her way around Cape Horn, with nearly a quarter of a million of gold dust, and it is probable that several millions more are en route, in various ways, to this and other Adantie ports. In spite of the lateness of the season, there are four thousand diggers en- geged in the mineral region. New mines or pla- cere, are discovered in various directions. Upto this time probably from #1x to ten thousand people, thiee-fourths of whom are from the United States, and the reat from Europe and the various ports oa the Pacificyare on their way to San Francisco. Goods of all descriptions, from every commercial nation, on both sides of the Atlantic, are being shipped to the Paci: c for that regioa. Probably this epring will ojen with twenty thousand gold diggers in California ; and calculating at a reason- able rate the products of their labor, there will be collected in gold dust, during the ensuing year, from filty to one hundred millions worth. Such are the position and prospects of Califor- nia, confirmed and strengthened by every tresh account from that extraordinary place. The ex- citement about emigrating will, therefore, in-, crease, not only in this country, bat in Europe, and throughout South America and the re- mote coasts of China and Hindostan. The South American republics are pouring ther enterprising men into California; and Mexico, just labor was exhibited at a directors’ meeting at the Astor House on the llth of January, and was proved to be worth nine thousand dollars! Since that time, this rich vein has been worked with a few hands, and we are informed another deporte, of eight hundred ounces of gold, worth nineteen dollars per ounce, was made at the mint on Wednesday. All this gold has been separated” from the ore without the aid of machinery. The quartz rock containing it has been broken in a common iron mortar, and the gold separated by pan washing. One thousand dollars has been pro- cured from forty pounds of rock, and specimens are frequently found worth over $100. The com- pany’s machinery will be in full operation in two wecke, when they expect to work from 25 to 30 tons of ore per day. It cannot be expected that the vein from which this gold has been extracted will continue as rich as 1t now appears; but there are other veins on the property that appear tobe inexhaustible, and which will yield, with the aid of their machinery, from $300 to $500 perday. The success of this enter- prise 1s now not doubted. It was entered into by afew gentlemen, with Commedore Stockton at their heed, and under his superior management the company has the pleasure to know that, in- stead of paying one dollar out of their pockets since he was elected their president, their ma- chinery 18 nearly completed, their working shafts sunk, their buildings erected, their debts paid, and what is better still, they have in, fund several thoueand dollars. Untortunately tor the mining interests of our country, it has been the policy of persons entering into this business to make it a stock speculation. There isno doubt that our country contains the greatest mineral resources in the world, and it only wants energy, with capital well directed, to make what 1s now considered worthless the most productive property. No State in the Union has greater mineral advantages than Virginia, yet for enterprise and energy she is far behind any of her sister States. She has iron, coal, copper, gold, and every other mineral you can enumerate, in abundance. Visit her gold district and you will see a few lazy negroes, and occasionally a poor, sickly, half starved white man, with his two or three thousand acres of impoverished land, that produces him yearly a tew barrels of corn—just enough to keep him and his negroes from starving. Perhaps in the centre of this property is a rich mine of gold or iron. If gold, he will scrape the surface, with the aid of his negroes and some rude machine, invented ‘‘a long time ago,” and be for- tunate enough to collect a few ounces of gold yearly. As to any further exertion on his part, it is outo{ the question. Virginia must be settled by people of more energy before her greatest source of wealth will ever be fairly developed. In Spottsylvamia county there are thousands of acres of land, some part of it rich in minerals, that can be beught fora mere song. This landis near the best of markets, and is as susceptible of improvement as any land in the world; yet there 1¢ is, worn out, neglected, and producing nothing. This very V. hite Hall mine was once owned in New York, bya company composed of Messrs. Wilmot, Moffet, Curtis, Wilder, Carvill and Richards; and no doubt many citizens now living here regret the day they ever heard of it. Why sot They got up a stock speculation, based en- tirely upon the gold they found on the surface, tothe amount of several millions of dollars, and the result was, that when the surface gold began to be exhausted, the stock became worthless, and many persons having invested every dollar they were worth in it, were completely ruined. The property was then sold for $5,600, and trom thag time up to the time of its late purchase, it has been worked as a farm, and as a surface gold mine. The property has yielded, by surface min- ing, about $150,000; and as no efforts had ever been made to develope the veins running through it, which originally held this gold, the present own- ere, Messrs. Heiss, Stockton and Dexter, were induced to purchase it, believing the veins could easily be found, and that they would prove very productive. The first shaft sunk developed a vein on each side of it, and at the depth of thirty-five feet 18 found the rich ore now rewarding the company so handsomely No doubt there are other properties in Virginia that, with the same attention, the same industry, and a determination to diacountenaace this system of stock speculation, will prove equally as rich as White Hall. We have heard of several new en- terpriees in that quarter, and we hope they may meet with such success as will well repay them. It 18, therefore, apparent that the Pacific is not the only gold region of the United States, but that the Atlantic coast has its share also. When all these sources of wealth shall have been fully de- veloped, the result must give a wonderful stimulus to commerce, emigration, and the progress of civilization, of which the United States will reap the principal benefit. We may then expect sucha transitien as that which was brought about by the disccveries of the immes cf Mexico and Pera. in Boston, but we have no doubt she will soon be in New York, and when she comes, will create as much enthusiasm among our highest circles as she has.done, and is doing, among those of the East. Fatsz News rrom Cauirornia—A Hoax.—The Washington Union of the 9th instant published a letter from California, written by “ H.
