To-day, some Oregon openly and very generally, we are inclined to think, farmers, who came down to obtain gold, and re- mained a month at the mines, offered to sell me one hundred and filty pounds ot gold, which they had collected. Mr. Brannon, who has the estab- lishments for storing and selling goods at the mines, told me to-day that seven men took from the earth, within one hundred yards of his upper store, thirty-three thousand dollars’ worth of gold in four days ; and the gold was weighed by a man in his employment. . Atthe dry diggings, one hundred dollars per day is paid to cuoks. The general impressiva ls, that from ten to twenty millions wal be taken from the mines the coming summer.

Lumber is very scarce and goes off immediately at $150 per thousand, if eeasonea; and $100 if gteen. Pity ship loads could be sold immedi- ately. I think the greatest part ot the lumber used here will be sent from Boston, for labor is too high, and it is too small business to attend to saw-miils an this country. Of all things that are sent out froru home none will be so sure of sale as small frame houses.

[From the Polynesian, Deo. 30.) Asa matter of etiquette—aud many ot the rules of etiquerte, light sounding as the word 18, originate in principles of justice—we are forbidden, we be- licve, to maxe many remarks on the subject of the interdiction of the United States Commissioner. Ot course an order on the part of the King tor the actual cessation of official intercourse between the departments of his government and a foreign repre- tentutive, yey different and much graver mat- ter than was his desirng his Minister of Foreign Relations te let another government kaow what its consul had been doing of late, to open its eyes withal. That meekness of soul, how- ever, which is all our own, and upon which we rather feather ourselves, will not let us suppose that a simple opinion ot ours, which neither offers new tacts nor new arguments, and which is contained in some halt a dozen or 80 of worde, will affect the matter one way or the other, And, therefore, we will state, with all candor, that, babel | generally, we disapprove of every transscuon connected with the interdiction. First aud foremost, we disapprove of the commissioner ot the United States having been in any way in- ttrumental in bringing derision or contempt upoa the king, aroggh the medium ot a public news- paper ; even it he oaly so tar torgot bis own digai- ay and that of his country, as to act the part of amanuensie for the purpose. Secondly, we disap- prove ot the way in which the manuscript in ques- brought to light by Mr. Judd. And third- ly, we disapprove of tie action taken by this go- ‘vernment in the matter, ah we are glad to eee that the cessation of official intercourse 1g ouly enjoined, pending the appeal to Washington.— ‘These are at present our houest vieWs oa the sub- ject, not come at by a consideration of law, but of policy; for we do not deny but that the govern- meat inay adduce abundance of law in support of the interdiction of Mr. Ten Eyck, although we do Opine thata milcer course would have better suit- ed the occasion. At the same time, we are willing to make every extenuation that is fair, be it 1n fa- vor of whom it may, and always te hold ourself open to conviction. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
