CALIFORNIA GOLD REGION. Trade of San Francisco. ‘We have some additional intelligence trom California, brought by Mr. Atherton. We learn that Capt. Blanchard, of the brig Laura Ann, mede quite a good speculation by goimg to the mines. He is a blacksmith by trade, anda strong athletic man. He was at the mines three weeks, and, during that time, he gathered gold dustto the value of ten thousand dollars, which he put on board his vessal, and cenveyed it to San Blas. During the last three days of his digging, the averaged one thousafid dollars per day. Five hundred gold adventurers arrived in the gold region, m a body, from Senora. Valparaiso and the Sandwich Islands were, at the last accounts, completely drained of goods. The whole stock in both of those places had been purchased for the California market. Captain Phelps, Capt. Lindsey, and Mr. Mel- lis left San Francisco, fur Valparaiso, in Septem- ber last, with one hundred thousand dollars in gold dust, and were to come to the Atlantic by the Isthmus of Panama. They may, therefore, be ex~ pected here every day. ‘We learn that Mr. Atherton brings with him the ills of lading of gold to the value of $200,000, shipped on English account, on which he intends Yo effect an ineurance here. Annexed are a few more extracts from our Cali- fornia papers. The advertisements, which we have copied, will give our readers some idea of the businees of San Francisco. THE GOLD MINES.

Great num- bers ofthe miners come down on every Jaunch that arrives from the Sacramento, and the general opinion appears to be that the season for digging is pretty near over for this year Though the rainy seasen has not etset in, it was daily expeoted. The weather at night diapeaae extremely cold; ice had been seen in sev Tal places of the thickness of a pane of glass, We have heard several rumors of trouble and violence. but can- mot state anything certain.

Lonpon, Friday Evening, Jan. 26. Summary of European News. Europe is becoming more settled, or is rather taxing a stesta. The Continent 18 tranquil—if we except a sanguinarv civil war in Spain; and here in England, the approaching session of Parliament is the topic of the day. The buoyancy of the English stock market continues, and busi- ness 1s getting up. The stock market 18 the best barometer to go by. Our winter is over; to-day is as warm as summer, with a bright sun and a clear sky. ‘The last mail from Bombay brought tidings of a battle with the Sikhs, which, though our troops carried their point, does not fail to prove that the Sikhs are good men and stout, and what 18 more, are well disciplined soldiers. The Commander.in- chief gave orders to cross the river Chenab. This was effected, but with the loss on our side of Bri- gadier General Cureton, who was shot through the heart, Colonel Havelock, two other officera, and tome ten or twelve wounded, with a loss of four and twenty privates. The Moolray still holds out at Mooltan. We have 100,000 men in the field, and 100 pieces of heavy artillery. Some decisive bat- tle 1s expected—the result must be in our favor, as, however brave the Sikhs may be, civilization is too powerful an opponent for them to overcome. In this last skirmish they crossed swords with our best horsemen, and fell fighting by their guns — Colonel Cureton and Lieutenant Colonel tiavelock are both old Peninsular men. The mostimportant event that occurred on the centinent since I wroteon Friday last, 18 a vote that was parsed in the sitting of the Frankfort As- sembly on the 19th inst. The question who 1s to be Emperor of Germany, wason the tapis. The debate was long and vio- lent; but the Prussian party carried the day. The original proposal of the committee, “that the digni- ty of the supreme head of the empire is vested in one of the reigning Princes,” was adopted by a maiority of 47, rahe " The next question, which isnow being debated, 18 whether the title is to be hereditary % And then comes the rub—who 18 io have it 7 The King of Prussia has firmly and wisely noti- fied his intention of not arcepting the imperial crown unless with the sanction ot Austria, Bava- nia, Saxony and Wrutemberg. Should he accept of it without this sanction -a sanction Austria will never give—civil war is the inevitable result, and the Austrian and Prussian eagles will dig their claws into each other. The war in Hungary is over. The Hungarians, after all their bragging, have not made a stand for it. What has become of the old Magyar chivalry ? Gone ie the revolution of 1848.
