ARRIVAL OF CALIFORNIA GOLD IN LONDON. he, de, der The American muil steamship Hermann, Capt. Crabtree, arrived yesterday afteroon from South- ampton, England, with two days later intelligence from all parts of Europe. She sailed from Bremen on the 20th of March, and arrived at Southampton on the 22d, which port she left on the 26th, at 4 P.M. She brings 65 second class passengers, 40. first elass passengers, and extremely yalnable freight, comprising about 500 bales and cases ef merchandize, twken on board at Bremen, 807 eases of laces, silks, and other articles of French fubric, from Havre, and about 250 packages of goods put on board at Southampten; also a quan- tity of watches and jewelry, but no epecie. ‘The mails from France were put on board the Hermann at Southampton, on the 26ch ult., having been brought across from Havre to che latter port by a special steamer. When the Hermann left Bremen the steamship Britannia had just arrived in the Weser from Li- verpool, and the Acadia, which vessel had been got off the Terchellings shoal, was daily expected. ‘These two ships had been purchased by the cen- tral government of Germany, and fitted as war Steamers, to serve us a protection of German ship- ping against the Danish cruizcrs, in the erent of hostilities being renewed. The intelligence is important. ‘The war has actually broken out in Italy. All the efforts used by the governments of France and Great Britain to renew the armistice between Sardinia and Austria had failed. Hostili- ties would, therefore, re-commence, and be carried on with great vigor on both sides. Although European sympathies were strongly enlisted on the side of the Italian cause, yet it was generally feared that King Charles Albert would be beaten by his powerful enemies, who, to the number of 100,000 strong,meditated a direct march upon Turin, there, as Radetzki’s manifesto etated, to negotiate the terms of peace. The French government had received telegra- phic despatches announcing that the Sardinian army had crossed the Ticino on the 20th of March, in three divisions. On the 2Ist, an Austrian corps passed the same river, and experienced some resis- tance. It was supposed the King, Charles Albert, would be forced to recross the Ticino, and that a great battle would be fought on the plains of Ver- Ih. A French Spence of 12,000 men was ready to gail immediately the Austrians should sct their foo im the Pontifical States. ‘The latest accounts from Hungary abundantly rove that the imperialists were not much eadway against the valiant Magyars, as success had latterly crowned the arms of the latter, and the Austrians had several times been beaten with considerable loss. . =. I ‘The proposal to appoint the King of Prussia Em- ror ot Germany, was rejected by the Frankfort atliament on the 21st March. This unexpected decision caused great excitement, and would, :t was feared, lead to unpleasant consequences be- tween Prussia and Austria. " The republic of Palermo had rejected the eon- stitution and proposals made by the King of Naples. ‘The French and British fleets were about to with- draw, and the Sicilians were preparing for the hos- ulities which would immediately ensue. The King of Naples would, with great difficulty, keep his throne, as a formidable insurrection was about breaking out in Calabria, and the Neapolitans themselves were unquiet. aa A manifestation on the part of the socialists and communists was expected at Paris on the 26th.— Great military precautions were to be taken by the government to preserve the public peace. The returns of the Bank of France were not mite so favorable for the trade of Paris as some of e previous returns. 4 Aberdeen’s speech in the House of Lords, relative to European affairs, had produced a ‘good effect on the Paris Bourse. The 8 per cents were @2f. 70 ; 5 per cts. B2f. We. A M. Guizot had arrived in Paris. The cholera continued to progreae in Ireland. In Paris, it had carried off one or two men in office.

The prodoce markets were unchanged, and dull.

A change of ministry was therefore expected, In the cotton manutacturing districts the decline in the prices of the raw meterial had caused a evrresponding reduction from the prices at the opening of the present month; but the workmen appear to be fully oceupied. The woollen districts are well employed, and prices for all fabrice maintained-—the raw’ niatorial Jolly sustaining the advance in the late public sales.

Attroupements were colleet- ed in various quarters. ‘The town was patroled by strong detachments, both of cavalry and infantry, during the night.

Those who are quartered in the Banlieuw and in the detached forts round Paris, have been consigned to their barracks for the last two days. Germany. from Frankfort, of the 22d ult., brings the result of the vote on Weleker’s mouion in the National Assembly, on the 21st ult. At the opening of the’ sitting on the 2lst, M. Romer, reporter of the mine of the commission, rose Intelligens it nd spoke in favor of the proposal of that Party. tpst the order of the day be moved on M. i We er’s motion. Mr. Riesser, reporter of the majority of the com- mittee, then ascended the tribune, and in a speech of two hours’ duration, moved the adoption of Welcker’s motion. The Assembly then proposed to vote on the divers propositions, twenty in num- ber, which were submitted to it. hind ‘The vote by name upon all the propositions was demanded by M. Biedermann. M. Berger with- drew his proposition. M. de Radowitz declared that he concurred in the conclusions of the com- mittee. ‘The first, vote taken was on the first pro- position of the minority, moving the order of the day on Welcker’s motion. This was rejected by 272 against 269. M.M. Ruhl, of Hanan, and Von Linde, withdrew, their propositions tending to pass to an ordre du jour motivé. Consequently the Assembly voted inmediately on, the proposition of the ma- jority of the commission (Welcker’s). This was rejected by votes against 252. This result produced a prefound sensation in the eeene and the tribunes. On the motion of M. Gumbrecht, the vote on the other proposals was adjourned. i Jn the 22d the vote was taken on M. Eisen- stuch’s motion that the Assembly proceed forth- with to vote on the several paragraphs of the eon- stitution, without allowing any further amend- ments to be moved, and that the vote on the 3d ragraph—which relates to the head of the em- all be taken last. M. Eisenstuch wished to withdraw his motion in favor of one proposed by M. Hechscher, but the Assembly refused to al- low him. The vote was taken on M. Eisenstuch’s motion, which was carried (himself voting against it) by a majority of 282 to 246. . The remaining orders of the day having been disposed of, the President of the Assembly inti- mated that he had a communication to make to it from M. Von Gagern. ‘M. Von Gagerm intimates that all the ministers, the Secretaries of State in- eluded, have tendered their resignations to the vicar of the empire, and that his imperial highness, after maturely considering the reasons they assigned for taking such a step, has accepted their resignations. ‘The ex-ministers will continue to discharge the routine duties of their respective offices till their successors are appointed.” The Assembly then adjourned til! next day. : Ata late hour of the evening of the 22d no mem- ber of the Assembly had been sent for by the vicar ofthe empire.

The Wear in Italy. We have received despatches from our eorres- pondent at Turin, of the 2lst, which supply us with some important and interesting intelligence of the commencement of the war. A bulletin had just been published at Turin, by the Minister of the Interior, patina the passage of the Ticino and the march of the Piedmontese army into Lom- bardy. The headquarters of the king were at Trecate, a small town on the Piedmontese bank of the Ticino, close to the road leading from Novara to Milan. It was by the bridge upon this road, leading to Buflalora, that the army croased the river. The passage was unopposed, the Austrians having retired from that point. The road to Milan wus reported to have been crowded with the Aus trians and their baggage and munitions in full re- treat. Adyicee had been received from Voghera, of an attack made the Austrians upon the Pied- montese, who defended the bridge of Mezzana- Corte, near Pavia. The Austrians were repulsed. after which the Piedmontese purtially destroyed the bridge. This news was received by telegraph from Alexandria on the 2ist. - Late on the 2ist, the Minister of War reeeived a report that the fourth division of the army, led by the Duke of Genoa, had advanced, as far as Ma- genta, in Lombardy. When the division approach- cd the bridge at Buflalora, the King himself ad- vanced cade to its head, and was the tirst man to cross the rigs, On the 14th, the provisional military governor of Parma, Degenfield, issued a decree, by which, in consequence of his departure, a commission of ge- yernment is created, composed of Baron Soldati, Count Nagalli, and Count Reacralie: In the course of the day, the national guard occupied all the posts, and a proclamation was issued, informing the inhabitants that the municipality had assume the government of the city, and named a provision- al delegate of public security, in the person of Dr. Cavagnari, and a deputy delegate, in the person of M. Tagliajcchi. The Austrians passed the Po at Brescello, marching towards Casalmaggiore. The Constituente Italiana of Florence, of the 16th, contains the proclamation of the Duke of Mo- dena, dated the 14th, which he issued before leav- ing his.capital. After adverting to the resumption of hostilities on the part of, the Piedmontese, and the consequent departure of the Austrians, he de- clares he has full confidence in the triuinph of the just cause, and that he therefore will not leave his States. He advises his subjects to remain calm and orderly, and expresses a belief that lis troops may soon have to try their valor, in which ease he tnasts they will prove constant and true. The Milan Gazette publishes two proclaraatidns of Radetzki, dated the 17th, one addressed to the inhabitants of Milan, the other to those of the Lom- bardo-Venetian kingdom at large. In the former, Radetzki informs the Milunese that he leaves the city to carry the war upon the enemy’s territory; but to tranquillize the pacific inhabitants, he inforias them that he leaves a sufficient garrison and a well provided citadel. He hopes that Milan will remain quiet; a second anny being ready to fight for the rights of his sovereign. They have, he says, already felt the consequences of rebellion, but let them be- ware of a second attempt; the punishment would not fail to follow speedily and unrelentingly; for he is strong enough to crush every internal enemy, and to fight the external one. The seeond proclamation is nearly of the same tenor; be warns the inhabitants of Lembarly and Venice not to give ear to a perverse party, which only awaits the reaumphon oF hostilities to excite new disorders. Let them recollect his moderation in yietory ; let them not force him to show them. his strength; punishment would fall quick es lightning upon every province, town, or commune, that would dare to harrass the of his army.

The Tuscan government has published a procla- mation informing the Tuseans that the armistice has been broken, and calling upon Tuscany to do her duty. ‘The only feature worth noticing in this document is that, although expressing cordial feel- ings towards Piedmont, it does not mention the name of Charles Albert.

The measure before the Assembly, having for its o8- tensible object the suppression or {uhibition of clabs, has ercated an immense amount of excitement in this eity. So fully were the government awaro that this would be the case, that on Friday night the troops wore all placed under arms, and patrols paraded the streeta, in full companies, until 6 on Saturday morning. These patrols had received positive orders to fire on any parties forming barricades. Measures were also taken at the different barracks to guard against surprise, and to re- elany attack with the utmost firmness, Before the Frotel de Ville several picces of loaded eannon were placed in battery, and the soldiers passod the night out- side the building. Last night, great excitement still prevalled. .Aitroupe- nents were colleeted in various quarters, The city was egain patrolled by strong detachments of onvalry and infantry, during the night.

Ihave now been on the Isthmus more than a month, and the chance of a paseage, up the coast to San Fran- sizco seems no better then when I first arrived. There is not one yoasel here now toreceive passengers, ‘The com- merce of this place is nothing, and a passing vessel seldom touchos here, Oue whale ship, one British bark, and afew mall schooncrs, are the only sailing vossels that have taken emigrants hence, on their way to California. The steamer California and the Oregon have each taken one load of passengers, and the former has been expected back bere for # fortnight, but as yet we have no tidings of her, and fear that some accident has befullen her, and kept her buck. There must be now, at least, fifteen hundred persons on the Isthiaus, waiting « passage, and Mite sae coming avery day Most Of we ane Garry enough that we came this way, us our expenses are much more than we expected, and our chances of pro- eceding much less. It is reported here, this morning, that more than a hundred persons, in discouragement, are about setting out to return to the States, most of whom may be expected in the Northerner and Cresceut City, now at Chagres, We have no recent Intelligenee from California, and therefore look with more intense interest for the arrival of the steamer thence; but our prying curiosity is as tar from being gratified as if we were still at home. This iv the dullost place I was ever in. No business, no enterprise, no improvement is apparcut. The city is gone to decay, and the inbabitants are too lazy and Bnintelligent to do anything. Though the climate is excellent, and vegetation luxuriant, no rich cultivated fields meet the eye. The people are too slack even to havea garden. ‘All the necossuries of life are quite ex- pensive, though a trifling amount of labor is all that is necessary to produce then, ‘This land waits for Yankee enterprise to tuke and improve it, and then it will be equal toany in the world.

Various pilferings of letters having taken place on the route, Mr. 1, B.B, Hale, special post office agent, wndertook the duty of ferretting out the’ perpetrator, and his efforts e attended with the groate: «Fy indications, he coneluded that Mr. Baldwin had a ha in the business, and ro satixticd was he of the fact, that he had him arrested, On searching him, three pack- ages of lotters were found in his possession, aud this, in connection with other things operated #0 powerfully, upon Mr. Baldwin's mind, that he determined to make aclean brenst of it, and acknowledge that he was the thief, ‘The evidence against him being conclusive, he was locke in the jail of thin county, in default of bail, which was fixed at three thousand dollars It appenr* that the manner in whieh Mr, Baldwin ness, was this, In assorting the mail, he would seleetand keep back all letters having the appearance of containing money, and those he would detain until be ratisfed himsaf whether they contain ed enclosures or not.

'[From the Albany Argus, (democratic) April 11 1 ‘The Legislature closed its hundred days of the 72 seesion yesterday afternoon, During the period of itv existence, about 430 acts have become laws—a larger number than at any previous session. Among the public acts, were the following :—An act establishing free schools throughout the State—for pu lishing certain documents relating to the colonial tory of the State—to vest in boards of # ixors cer- tain legislative powers—the variaus canal appropria tions, amounting in the aggregate, to some $2,000,000— @ general act in relation to plank and turnpike roads— making appropriations for the Clinton prison—to pro- vide for the formation of insurance companies—in re- lation to pardons—to facilitate the organization of the safety fund banks under the general law—to amend the emigrant law—amending and consolidating the laws for the better regulation of the State prisons—increasing the number of justices ot the Superior Court of the city of New York, and extending their jurisdiction—making appropriations towards the support of orphan asylums in the State—to repay the city of Albany a portion of the basin astessment—to provide for the government of the department of alms and penitentiary in the city ot New York—to establish hospitals at Sandy Hook— the new police bill—remodelling the militia act’ of 1847 —authort ing the Clinton Monument Association to erect a civic arch in the public grounds. Bills incorpo- rating the Panama Railroad Company, and the steam lines from New York to Liverpool and from New York to Havre, were also passed, Among the bills which finally became laws, was the act to appoint commissioners, further to reform, sim- plify and abridge the rules of practice, &e., in the courts of this State; continue in office the Com- inissioners on Practice and Pleading, and changings and continuing the Commissioners of the Code. The his} tory of this bill is somewhat curious, In the outset, the Senate passed @ bill continuing the Commissioners on Practice nearly a year, which the House rejected, The House then passed a bill coutinuing them until the Ist of April, and the Senate adopted it. The House followed it with another Dill, continuing them until the Ist of February next, which the Se ted; and the commixsion expired on the Ist instant, Tho Senate, meanwhile, having amended the code of prot and rent it down to the House, and the adj ing in that body having become apparent, owing to the Senate’s refusal to continue the couunis sion, the Senate originated a bill, not only re-instating the Commission on Practice, but continuing the Com- missioners of the Code, excepting Mr, Robertson, and substituting Mr. Spencer in bis place; and this bill finally passed both branches. There were bills passed declaring the public utility of railroads, from Auburn to Binghamton, from Platta- burg to the Canada line, from the Suratoga and Wash- ington Railroad to Platteburg, from Sackatt’s Harbor to Adums or Killisburg, from Troy to Rutland, Vermont, Among the bills rejected, or postponed, were tho bills to declare the public utility of « railroad from Syracuse to Rochester, known as the direct railway; the Lockport and Buffalo railroad; the Buffalo and Hornelisville railread; the Rouse’s Point bridge bill; the New York wharfage bill; the New York referee bill; to secure the wages of day luborers on the canal; the bill to postpone the removal of Madison University; the mechanics’ lien law, ds applicable to cities; to pre- serve competition between the Troy and Schnoctady and Albany and Schnectady ruilraads, We had hoped to record the passage of the resolution awarding medals of honor to the gallant officers, citizens of this State, who distinguished themselves in the bat- tles in Mexico, But it, as well as the several resolu- tions on that subject, were suffered to remain on tho table. Perhaps it was too much to expect, with the known affinities of the LeRalaiurs, that such a recog- nition of heroic and patriotic servico would have re- ceived its acknowledgment and reward, But the day will come when this duty will be performed, The concluding proceedings of tho Legislature, what- ever may have been the temper of the sossion, were charaeterized by good feeling. ‘The yotos of thanks to the Lieut. Governor, as President of the Senate, to the President pro tempore, and to the Speaker, and officers of the House, were in this spirit, (From the Albany Journal (whig), April 12.) ‘The Legislature adjeurned last eveuing at 7 o'clock, after an hundred days successful devotion to the pub- lic interests. Four hundred and thirty-nine laws havo been passed. Among them ure many important acts of a general character, which were demunded by, and will receive the cordial acquiesence of, the people. “The act increasing the powers of Boards of Supervisors, is in accordance with the expressed intention of the con- stitution, Its effects will be salutary, by bringing local legislation directly under the supervision of those iin- mediately interested, and relieving the State Legislu- ture of w large amount of businoas which can be better transacted by those to whom it is now transferred. The insurance bill is another of those general enact- ments for which we are indebted to the new eonstitu- tion. It will render applications for charters unneces- sary hereafter; and as it was carefully drawn and con- sidered, it be found effective and snlutary in ite operation. The act to facilitate the organization of the Ssfety Fund Banks under the General Banking law, was de- manded by the publie exigencies. It underwent the serutiny of the heat financiers in tho State—friends of both systems—and is believed to be exactly adapted to the object desired. The act making an apppopriation to aid in eupport- ing the Orphan Aeylums throughout the Btate, will commend itself to every good-hearted man, It is one of those acts of munificence which mark the character oftheage. The sum appropriated ($5,000) ix, to be sure, emall; but those who are most interested in these noble charities, best kuow how important and accepta- ble will be this State contribution of a few huadred dollars to each institution ‘The Free School act is another of the wise measures of the session. If, as we will not doubt, it shall be sanctioned by the people, four school houses will be open to all—rich and poor alike. It waedue the cha- Tucter of the Empire State, being foremost in all the attributes of commercial greatness, that she should be behind no other State in ber support of the groat cause of education, The Canal bills were drawn with a lbecal hand. The appropriations are large (over $2,000,000) aud judi- ciourly distributed. Every part of the State siiares equitably. and all interests are eutiafled. There was no wisdom and justice of the distribution. « The bill to amend the Code passed eubstautinlly as recommended by the Commissioners. Much amore re- mains to be done to perfect the reform contemplated by the Constitution ; but this aet was all that was of im- mediate pressing necessity. All that bas been done is in harmony with public sentiment, and will meet with public approval. Both Comunissions wre continaed, and future Legislatures, with the aid of the Commis- sioners, will doubtless satisfactorily consummate what has been so satisfactorily begun. The act amending the Emigrant Passenger Law of last winter, is among the moet important and humans acts of the Kession, Beside various provisions designed for the protection of the strangers who are coming amonget us, it provides against the constitutional dif. culty in regard to the commutation tax heretofore im- posed. Under it, an abundant fund will be ercated for the sick and poor who may be thrown apon our chores From Panama axp Cnuagres.—Mr. John Ellert arrived in this city from Chagres, on Friday even- i - Tle sailed from New York, in the bark arietta, and arrived at Chagres on the 18th of last February. He crossed the Isthmus, reaching Panama on the 28d February, and returning trou thence, arrived at Chagree ugain, on the 2tst of March, and left again on the 22d ultimo, for New Orleans, in the steamer Alabaina. We are indebt- ed to the eourtesy of Mr. ert, for a number of the Panama Star, of the 10th ultimo, (the latest one iskued prior to his departure.) and for several intervst- ing items of information fire. E. went out with a thorough tleket to Sun Fran- eieco, and waited as long as he thought it noceseary or prudent for the arrival of the steamship California, for which he was tieketed, It is eonjectured, at Panama, that the reason of the steamship uot returning is that her crew have deserted her for the gold mings. When she touched at Panama going out, some of the erew dropped hints to that, effect. Mr. BE. aseures us that during all the time he was at the lethmus he did not see an ounce of gold come from California, Hence we may conclude, with the aid of the fact that but little specie has yet arrived by that route, that tome of those tales about the gold bars sticking out of the bags transported on mules, are rather of the romantic order; and the “ honest” mule- tocrs Bir. E, sets down as a set of scamps, There was considerable sickness at Panama when our informant left. One of the physicians there, Doetor Lowrie, from New Jersey, had forty ensea of fover un- der hie eharge, of rather serious type; and as the rainy season Was expected soon to wet in, ‘the country was expected to become more unhealthy, and cases of more serious illness were apprehonded Mr. E. saw a Capt, Clary and @ Mr, Sullivan, who ro- presented himeelf to be # brother of Yankee Salliyan, at Panama—they heaving just eome from San Francisco They were moncyless, and the health of one of them was pretty much broken down by exposure and bard. ships, Upon the whole, the personal experience of Mr. FE. has been ef « most discouraging nature—rather a re- verre of the tlattering pictures too often drawn Three Americans were drowned in the Chagres river, between that place and Gorgona, not long before his departure, ‘The name of one of them was Geierson— ames of the others not remembered.

Burton is first rate in everything that he doos; but i this eharacter it strikes us that he excels himself. He did not give the audience a moment’s rest from laughter. ‘The part of Mr. Hudson, a gentleman from America, was well played by Mr. Hamilton. Mra.
