‘The Proceedings of the Medical Con- vention, In Boston, ‘We gave, on Thursday last, an account of the origin ‘and history of the American Medical Association, up to the time of the late meeting in Boston, together with the proceedings on Tuesday morning. In conse- quence of an accident, our correspondent in Boston ‘was not able to furnish the remainder of the sayings and doings of that learned assembly until the termi- nation of the session, which took place at «late hour on Friday. We are now enabled to lay before our Feaders a more accurate account of the proceedings than any which has yet appeared, not excepting the Teports of our Boston cotemporaries. Probably there never was, in any country, a repre- sentative body which, in proportion to its numbers, combined so much of talent and learning as the one which has just adjourned, America may well be proud of the high and elevated character of her medical re- presentatives; and that they are not unmindful of the interests and dignity of their profession, may be in- ferred from the fact that no less than 454 accredited delegates, from twenty-two States of the Union, regis- tered their names with the Committee of Reception, We doubt much whether so many doctors were ever before brought together at one time from places so re- mote from each other, The utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed, and the reception of the del the Bostonians, and the attentions that we them by their hosts of the Massachusetts Me ciety, will, we think, not soon be forgot . Each de- legate, on’ registering his name, fwas furnished with a card, which entitled him to admission to all the pub- lic institutions—hospitals, museums, libraries, &c., in and around the city; and various members of the pro- fession opened their houses in the evenings, where their guests were entertained in the most hospitable manner, ‘We must not omit to mention the splendid entertainments proyided by Doctors Jokn C. Warren, Hayward. Homans, Bigelow and others. The Hon, Abbott Lawrence, also, must not be forgotten, who in- vited the delegation te his house on ‘Thursday even- ing, and provided most abundantly for the wants of the inner man, On Wednesday evening, the Massachusetts Medical Society gave # splendid collation at the Revere House, About 600 gentlemen were present, and the affair re: flected great credit, both upon those who provided the feast, and those who furnished the edibles, ‘The deco- rations of the great dining hall were unique. The whole room was surrounded with portraits of eminent physicians, and the table ornaments were such as were appropriate to the occasion. One was surmounted with a mortar and pestle, another with scales, and so on; and inscribed “Galen,” “Dioseoricles,” “Aretiwus,” “Hippocrates,” &c. In a word, the Bostonians receiv- ed and entertained their guests in a manner highly cre- ditable to themselves, and gratifying to their visitors. ‘The following isa list of the delegates in attendance from the city of New York, as representatives of the County Medical Society, the Academy of Medicine, the New York Pathological’ Society, the Medical Colleges, and other local assoeiations:— Doctors A. H. Stevens, Pliny Earle, Isaac Wood, John G, Adams, Jas. R. Wood, J. R. Van Kleck, J. Linsly, Jos. M. Smith, R Watts, M. L. Taft, Jas.'O. Pond, Joel Foster, R. L. Marris,’ H. D. Bulkley, 8 C.

Dr. D. Faascis Coxre, of Philadelphia, then_pre- sented and read the report of the Committee on Prac- tical Medicine, a long and able document, embracing an account of the history, peculiarities, progress, and treatment of the principal diseases whitch h yailed in the United States during the past yea: reading of this report having progressed for about one hour, and some of the members being evidently more desirous of bodily than intellectual food, Dr. Iblatch- ford, of Troy, in their behalf, moved that the farther reading of the report be dispensed with, as he thought it was consuming much valuable time, which might be more profitably employed, ‘The motion prevailed. Dr, Stevens, of New York. thon remarked that the reading of reports would be likely to occupy the whole time of the association, He was unwilling that it should be so. and moved that all the other reports be submitted to the investigation of a committee who should determine whut parts of each should be rew and what omitted. ‘This resolution called forth con- tiderable debate. Such a course was considered dis- respectful to the gentlemen who had devoted their time and attention to the preparation of the reports; and the motion was lost. On motion of Dr. Wittiams, of Massachusetts. tl thunks of the askociation were tendered to the lat President, Dr, Stevens. for the able and courtcous ma: ner in which he had performed the duties of his offic Dr. Buarcnrorp called up the amendment to the constitution, propoved at the last annual meeting, by Dr. F, C.

The association met at ten o'clock, at the Lowell Institute, the President, Dr. Warren, in the chair. ‘The committee of reception announced the names of delegates arrived since yesterday. It was stated that more than four hundred were present, representing the following States, viz:—Mainc, New ‘Hampshire, Ver- mont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, Missouri, Ohio, Indi- ana. Illinois, lowa, and the District of Columbia. ‘The reading of ‘the remainder of Dr. Condie’s report was called for. Dr. Stevens opposed its further reading. ‘The redding of the reports in full was an evil that d manded a remody, Their length would exclude every- thing els Dr. Rexsr, wanted the report read. It was disre- spectful to the committee to treat their labors in this manner. . Dr. Srrvens replied that the report had already been referred to the Committee on Publication. They had resolved to publish the report without hearing it, which he contended was far more honorable to the committee than any other course. Dr, Coxpre said that he would prefer that no more of his report should be read, He was willing to let it rest as it was, Dr. N.R.S of Baltimore, then read the report of the Committee on Surgery. ‘The hour of 12 having arrived, the special order for the day was anmounced to be the proposed amendment of the constitution, defining the rights of permanent members. After considerable discussion, the subject red to a committee. wax, of New York, then read the report of the Committee on Obstetries, which contained much new and valuable information in reference to instru- ments and etherization, The association then ad- journed until half-past 3 P.

Hannisox, of Ohio, Chairman of the Com- mittee on Medical Literature, presented and read a re- port on that subject. This report embraced an account of the principal publications on medicine and the col- lateral sciences which have appeared during the past year, together with recommendations for the improve- ment of medical literature by the profession of this intry, and means for the encouragement of native writers, The committee recommended, among other things, that an effort should be made by the Associa- tion to secure the passage of an international copy- right law. 7 Dr. Gro. B. Woon, of Philadelphia, followed with some remarks on the subject of a copyright law. ‘The Presiver then announced that the Legislature had just adjourned, and that the Association was in- vited to bold its future meetings in the Legislative Chamber at the State House. ‘The Association then adjourned, Our Valparaiso Correspondenec.

Bavrmore, May 7, 1849. The Catholic Council—Mexican Minister—Tobac- | co Crops—Business of the City, §e., He. The meeting of the National Council of the Ro- man Catholic church has brought to this city quite | a number of Christians of that denomination, from | various parts of the Union. Although the weather | was extremely unpleasant yesterday, (being wet and cool,) there was one of the largest assem- | blages of people in and about the Cathedral ever | witnessed in this city upon any religious oecasion. | The ceremonies of the day were becoming and imposing. The Bishop of St. Lows (Dr. Hen- drick) delivered a powerful and impressive sermon. ‘The business ot the Council will progress in secret. | The weather continues cool and wet to-day— | thermometer standing at 60. ‘The military, how- | ever, are on parade, this being monthly muster | day. | Senor da la Rosa, the Mexican Minister, and | suite, are passing a few days at Barnum’s Hotel. I learn, trom a letter received by a commercial | house in this city, from a prominent planter in Prince George’s county, that the planters in that portion of Maryland intend giving mere attention to the raising of wheat than formerly. Tobacco | has been the main production of that section of the State ; but the low price obtained for other than | first-class tobacco, has induced the planting of | smaller quantities, with a view of sending to market nothing but a superior article. This will materi- ally diminish the quantity of Maryland tobacco in market, but no doubt add to its merit and value abroad. P _ The “business serson,” into our wholesale and jobbing houses, (especially in dry goods,) has been unusually dull; and, indeed, this is a general com- plaint throughout the mercantile community—the one aflecting the other. Merchants and traders. in passing from the Seuth and the West, who used to stop in Baltimore, even if they went further, now ph through this city and make their purchases in Philadelphia or New York. Many persons seem to be surprised that such is the fact; but the reason is pani the same facilities of business are not afforded ere that are met with elsewhere. It isa matter of fact, that there is not a house in this city that ime ports either fancy or | staple articles direct from Europe. ‘This being known to, traders, Our Baltimore Correspondence. | Eg they prefer going direct to the importing houses of New York, rather than be taxe with freight, storage, &c., as they would | be by purchasing “second hand”? of Balti- | more jobbers. Again, even if western and southern dealers desire to purchase staple goods here, there 1s not scarcely one of them who aes not purchase, when going from home, some of the finer articles of silk; and as they cannot be accommodated with- out going farther, most of them very reasonably conclude that, as they have to go to New York to procure such articles, they had as well make their purchases generally there. is the great secret of the decline of business in Baltimore, and it can- not be denied. Baltimore, in fact, is becoming (if. not so already) the mere store-house of New York mercantile business; and it is not surprising that traders should go to headquarters to make pur- chases. . The Overland Express from Halifax. We seldom trouble our readers with matters re- lating to our private affairs:—but remarks that have been made in various quarters justify us in speak- ing somewhat freely concerning the Halifax ex- press for the reeeipt of foreign news, as an enter- prise of public interest and importunce: St. John, New Brunswick, is about half-way between Halifax and Boston—200 miles, or there- abouts, from the former, and 150 from the latter city. The extension of the telegraph to St. John made it easy to receive news brought to Halifax some thirty-six hours earlier than 1t would reach Boston or New York by the steamers. It was cer- tain, of course, that some one would take steps so 1o receive it. Private speculators would find it for their interest to do so—and the commercial com- mercial community would be the victims. Under these circumstances the New York press, embracing the Herald, Tribune, Journal of Com- merce, Sun, Express, and the Covrier and Enquirer, believed it to be their duty tu their subscribers, to procure the news and lay it before them at the earliest moment possible. “They have accordingly established permanent express, to be run 54 horses from Halifax to Digby on the Bay of Fundy, and by steamboat from that ptace to St. John, im- mediately on the arrival of every steamer, and have also made arrangements to transmit the news thus received by te egraph from St. John to this city, without interruption, and with the least possible delay. The enterprise was undertaken solely for the benefit of the subscribers and readers of the papers named, The managers of the tele- graphic lines have aided it in every way possible, and have co-operated with the press in all mea- sures necessary to bring the news before the pub- lic, before it could be used by private speculators, tothe general detriment. The experiment thus far, as our readers are aware, has proved perfectly successful. \ It will be seen from this statement that the Hali- fax express and telegraph arrangement belongs solely and exclusively to the New York press—that is, to the six New York papers named above. They established it—they have the entire control of it— the gentleman by whom itis so efficiently managed at the Halifax end, Mr. 1D. IL. Craig, is their agent —the expense of it, amounting to about $1,000 for each steamer, is paid by them—and the despatch received is in every respect their private property, subject to their disposal in any way they see fit, so that the public is not injured, and their subscri- bers are served thereby. If the news arrives here in the day time, the New York papers, in justice to the commercial community and greatly to their own injury, issue it in extras, or put it upon their bulletins. If it comes at night, they take all possi- ble precautions to prevent its Ber appropriated by parties who have no right to it, and lay it before their subscribers in their regular morning editions. At an early day—as soon indeed as it was under- stood that a Halifax express was to be run—the Boston press applied to the proprietors of the Ha- lifax express for a share in its benefits. An ar- rangement yas pen tly effected, by which a copy of each despatch 1s delivered in Boston for the use of the parties to it, and itis generally issued simul- taneously with its publication here. For this, the nine Boston papers interested, pay regularly to the New York press about one-sixth of the whole ex- pense. ‘The arrangement is mutually advantageous, and satisfactory to the public and the press of both cities, 5 The enterprise has been styled a ‘ monopoly,” by papers which are not parties to it. It is mono- polised by its owners, and so long as the law pro- tects private property, it will continue to be. But we have no doubt that any New York morning paper can become a party to it, by paying its share of the cost. ss , These are the simple facts in regard to the Hali- fax express. We state them on behalf of the six New York papers by whom that express is owned and managed, at an expense of over $20,000 per annum, as well as of the Boston press,who receive and pay for a share in its advantages. The Hali- fax express is permanent, and will be made as re- gular and as efficient as money and the utmost care and attention can make it. We regard it as highly important to the commercial community in this city that it should be maintained, because in its absence the great mass of our business men will at the mercy of private speculators. At present the utmost care is taken to protect the public; and it is only just to say, that in this en- deavor the press is thoroughly and zealously aided by Mr. Smith, the president of the Telegraph Com- pany between here and Boston; by Mr. Foss, their superintendent at this station, and by all the ope- rators and others attached to the lines. We look to the public alone for that appreciation which of itself is a sufficient reward for our expense and la- bor.—Courter. Horrimte Merper ty Listr.—It is our unplea- sant duty to state that our county has recently been the scene of an appalling ey ab On Friday last, (April 27,) a son of James Houghtailing, of Yorkshire, in the town of Lisle, Broome county. a boy only LS gk ae old, cut off his father’s hea¢ with an axe! The circumstances, as we have learned them, were as follows:—The father had been plonghing his field, and, in a state of intoxica- tion, left his team and lay down ina furrow. The little boy took his team to the barn, and while the father was thus lying, probably insensible, under the effects of liquor, literally severed his head fro his body. We learn thatan elder brother witnesse the fatal act, The boy, with blood on it person, immediately informed others of the deed, and boasted that he had done it because his father had choked him. the night before. We learn that the deceased, though addicted to drinking, had accumulated considerable property, which is thus suddenly left to his family. Some contradictory and suspicious, rumors are afloat, which we now forbear to mention. The facts, as related, are almost incredible, and we await with much interest the developement of the truth by the coroner's jury, which was to haye assembled Saturday. Th youthful and precocious destroyer of human life, is probably too young to suffer the punishment award- ed by the laws of the land as the fate of the mur- derer.

From thence they go through Arkansas and Texas. [Correspondence of the St. Louis I : INDEPENDENC! , During the last week, more emigra rived at this point, en route to Cualitorn any time previous, for the same period. They nerally arrive completely outtitted, except in stock, and this being a principal and indispensable ingr dient for an expedition, I will again give you a re- port of the market at this point, leaving those who are yet behind to avail themselves of any advan- tage that may be afforded in your city, — ‘The supply of oxen and miles, at this place, ex- ceeds the demand, and prices range at about my previous quotatious—say, for ordinary and good mules, forty to sixty dollars, and choice at seventy to one hundred dollars per head, as in quality and condition. The number purchased for the use of the “Pioneer Line” of ‘humer, Allen & Co., all choice and remarkably fine animals, were bought atfrom seventy to one hundred dollars, and by actual sales I am governed in giving these quota- tions. The supply of oxen is also large, and prices range from forty-five to fifty-five dollars, as_in qna- lity, none held to my knowledge above the highe: figure. ‘The facilities for procuring other nece: ries for an outfit, excepting weapons, are good at this time, and exceeding the demand; but, should the demand continue to increase, how long they will remain so, I am unable to determine. Many emigrants, in purchasing their stock, are compelled to accommodate themselves to their purses, and ina market where the supply is so large, of course, many inferior lots are offered. Sales of oxen have been made as low as $22 the yoke, and mules at $30 per head, but are not the marketable rates; stock sold at these prices will last just long enough on the trip to carry their owners to a point where it will be impossible to replenish ; and from the number ef such that have been purchased, I fear there will be immense suffering on the Plains, and in the mountains, during this season. What men are thinking about, or calculating upon, when they provide themselves with such teams for a journey of nearly two thousand miles, is a mystery; yet hundreds are doing so, and even then confining themselves to barely a sufficient team to move their wagon. In my rounds I have met with companies, and not a few, who are provided with large heavy wagons, to which they allow but four mules, or two or three yoke of oxen; the empty wagon itself being a sufficient load for, the team allowed, not including the weight of provisions, &c., which must necessarily be transported for tye subsistence of the party. With such teams, and such a load, ay move to the Plains, and_ if they have good luck and sufficient grass for their miserable stock, they may succeed in reaching a poimt on their journey where it will be impossible to remedy any oversight they have made in their purchase. They here meet with an accident, or their team fails them entirely. What is to be done? They have no remedy, new trains are not to be ob- tamed, and it is impossible for them to proceed. Dissensions have sprung up in many companies ready to move, resulting, in one or two instances, to a complete dissolution. One of these dissolu- tions, or winding up of affairs, came near proving fatal to an innocent party. In a rencontre between two of the members of the company, Thos. 8. Sawyer and Mr. Waters, of Illinois, respecting a balance claimed by Sawyer as due him, shots were exchanged, and a Mr. Alexander H. Baldwin, of Klmyra, New York, wito chanced to be passing the belligerents at the time, received the contents of a gun, fired by Sawyer, into his loins. Bald- win will recover. Sawyer was arrested; pleaded guilty to an assault, and was fined at $1 and costs. Among the number emigrating, are many men of families, I have had occasion to converse with many of them, and can assure the wives and fami- lies of at least one fourth, that they will again re- turn to enjoy, the bevpttiees pest afforded, pre- vious to visiting California. Many ‘have positively determined on such a course; others are wavering, endeavoring to dispose of their outfits. After getting this far on theirjourney, they find out that at home they haye a responsibility—some a wife and “three interesting children,” and ranging from that num- ber of responsibilities to “nine;” they discover that, while it is their duty to endeavor by all honor- able exertions to provide for, and accumulate “something” to start these ‘dear ones” in life, they are reckless in the discharge of that duty, and hazarding much, when they run the risks and un- certainties pertaining to a trip to California, in order to accomplish such an end. Hence, they deem it “sensible” to return. d How to outfit—whether to start with mules or oxen—has occasioned much discussion among many companies, and a finely organized company from Massachusetts, fully equipped, excepting in stock, is about to divide upon this very point foth being’ unyielding for their favorite teams. Whi young men (the greater portion of whom never saw an ox or mule team before) know of the pecu- liar advantage of either, and are so well acquainted with them as to threaten eruption, in case their favorite is not selected, is surprising. Several companies, in addition to those previ- ously forwarded, have gone into camp, and ready to move. Among them isa company from, New York, under the style of ‘German California Mi- ning Company.” It is composed of M. Carl, Seler Franz, A. Balm, G. Scimmers, K. Aulich, B. Au- lich, G. Schneider, P.

AUDURON’S PARTY We meta gentleman, yesterday, direct from the Rio Grande, from whom we learned some particu- lars of Mr. Audubon’s party. aie had not start- ed on the 16th instant, but would be off in a very few days. Of the $12,000 stolen from Mr. Audu- bon, $8,000 in all had been recovered. A man who was generally supposed to be implicated in the rob- bery, was shot the other day by a man whose life he had threatened. The current rumor was, that the slayer knew too much about the robbery to be safe, THe was suspected of having given the infor- mation by which $4,000 was recovered. His lif had in consequence been threatened, and he was in truth hunted, but turned upon his pursuer, and shot him at sight, in a bar-room. The victim was an Clark, who formerly held a com- n i regiment. He had particu- larly distinguished himself in the battle of Buena ista. The route to be pursued by Mr. Audubon’sparty, or perhaps we should say Lieutenant Browning’s— for the latter has the military command—was un- certain. They would proceed at once to Durango, and as to their further proceedings, be governed by such information as they should obtain. The fa- vorite idea was to reach the Gulf of California at some point north of Mazatlan, and cross over to sower California, and pursue their journey by land up that peninsula, The representations made to them, induced the belief that the road was quite precticuble, and, save fortwo hundred miles where the country was broken, an excellent one. Lieutenant Browning is represented to us as an officer of much intelligence and prudence. He belongs to the navy, but is absent, so we learn, on sick leave, and is travelling for the benefit of his health, with orders to report for duty to the com- mander of the squadron in the Pacific, Mr. Au- dubon is a great favorite with his company, THis devotion to them in sickness could not have been surpassed, and has endeared him to all. The com- pany is represented as wanting in men accustomed to frontier life. ‘The material is good—it could ardly be better—but they lack aptitude and expe- rience. We hear amusing accounts of their ma- nagement of Mexican mules—of their futile at- tempts to catch or pack them, | The odds are great that. their horses and inules will be ‘stamp: by, the Indians before they reach their destination. Still they are a very tine set of fellows, with the Republican.) 90, IS bravest hearts, and will speedily acquire the know- ledge they need.

Papin, clerk of the steamer Highland Mary, has laid us under obligations for some interesting items concerning prices and California prospects along the Missouri river towns, i When the Highland Mary reached Council Bluffs, they found it, although an excellent starting point, almost entirely clear of Ci grants. ‘The Mormons, however, of whom there are now a vast number a few miles above the Blutls, are beginning to make their preparations for an early departure for the Salt Lake. They go out well provided. The cold weather was protracted very long at Council Blufls, and an old trapper just arrived from the Rocky Mountains, reports that during the past Winter, there was more snow than was ever seen, in a single season by the oidest Indian. There was an abundance of provisions at the Blufls. Com was selling at $1 50 per barrel. The river had fallen eight feet, and was still rapidly receding. At Fort Kearny, provisions of every description were extremely scarce. There were none to be had except by going to the Bluffs. The Indians were reduced to the last extremity; they were al- most ina starving condition. The California emi- rants were living on what they had brought with them. | There was, however, excellent grazing for the animals, good water, &c., and, on the ReRcle? the place is considered a good starting point. The Telegraph and Pomeroy Companies were doing well. They proposed starting about the 15th of May. _ In St. Joseph there were about 1,200 or 1,500 Ca- lifornians. Some disturbances had occurred in one of the Pittsburgh companies. The full particulars had not been ascertained. Small pox had appeared. As yet only one case had occurred, but great ap- prehensions were entertained of contagion. The gold fever had considerably abated with some com- ies, and dissatisfaction had ensued among se- 1 parties from Pittsburgh. A number had come toa determination to abandan the journey alto- gether, and were selling their mules, &c., previous to their return home. ; ‘There was any quantity of mules, oxen, provi- sions and food, in St. Joseph, which sold at rea- sonable prices. In Independence there were, ag near as can be ascertained, about four thousand emigrants encamped all around the town. They were enjoying good health. Cattle were selling between thirty and fifty dollars per yoke, and Ca- lifornia mules at sixty-five dollars. The market was glutted with both. Provisions of every de- scription were selling on reasonable terms.—St. Louis Reveille, 29th ult. w York, also is a list of Shepherd, N. Voorhe: Interesting Letter from California. (From the New Orleans Picayune, April 28.) We are indebted to the courtesy of a friend for the following very interesting letter from San Fran- cisco, received by the way of Vera Cruz. It is re- plete with practical good sense :— San Francisco, February 20, 1849, My Dear M.—You see | amas good as my word, though ulmost sure that the letter will not find you in New Orleans, and that my information will re- main unnoticed for some time to come. I arrived here a few days ago in a sailing vessel, after a te- dious passage of more than thirty days from San Blas. The steamer has not made her appearance yet; but we know that she left Valparaiso on the 24th December, for Panama, and may therefore be shortly expected. _.This is the most extraordmary place one can pos- sibly imagine, and, in spite of the advantages of position, it will require some years to make it re- spectable. This is as far as living is concerned. usiness, however, is likely to continue good and to become daily more extensive, for the good tide here never ebbs, and people who earn two or three ounces a day by digging, er from five to ten dol- lars by any trade whatever, are not likely to stint themselves in anything. Consumption, therefore, eaten steadily, and the enormous emigration from all parts of the world to this sl Dorado, will continually increase the number of consumers. Land, though already at enormous rates here, is still worth attention, for property must improve, and, as soon as slaves arrive and cultivation e: tends, the neighboring districts will also becom more valuable. To eye u an idea of the value of town lots in this place, I'll merely tell you that a house on the beach of about sixty feet frontage has just been rented for $5, 000 “per annum, and $16,000 has been refused for lots 137 feet front- age in good situations. At present, everythin: is enormously dear here ; but prices must fal when all American supplies arrive, and we shall probably never see them as high again ; still there is no reasonable chance to suppose that goods from England or the Atlantic ports will not at any time yield a profig, even in case of an excessive imy ortation, for, as 1 before said, the consumption is daily increasing, and much more per head than in any part of the world in which I have been. Under these circumstances, I would by all means advise you to come out to this place as soon as you can, bringing with you an assortment of the follow- ing goods, which will be much wanted for the next rainy season. ‘There is very little time saved by crossing through Mexico, and the road is very in- secure into the bargain, Either, therefore, you go by the reach mail, or else what [ would most ad- vise you, go from there to New York, buy your goods and ship yourself with them. At any rate, this part of the ‘world offers more advantages than the one you are now living in, for if trade does not proeper afterfhaving given it a fair trial, one has only to f°, to the diggings, and they need not be afraid of being disappointed.” | have seen a great number of people who have come from the mines, and every one of them had his share of the precious stufli—some of them as much as $200 for every day’s work, but nobody less than $16 to $18. ‘Two men brought forty-seven pounds weight of pure gold, which they found within five days; but such enor- mous diggings are of course exceptions, and must not be taken as criterions. Whatever be the num- ber of miners, the vein will last for more thana century, being about two hundred miles in ciream- ference. i Come, therefore, if you have nothing better to do. At any rate let me know what you are about, and believe me, my dearM. | Articles likely to meet with a ready sale here:— Stout overcoats, shooting jackets, mCuRey jackets, vests, trowsers and caps—all for the cold ‘season, well lined and comfortable; blankets of all descrip tions, oil cloth caps, cloaks and overalls for the rainy season; stout boots and shoes, double-soled, and some long enough to reach up to the knees; woollen socks and stockings; flannel and woollen shirts, mostly red and blue, whites not at ull re- quired. In general, all sorts of clothing fit to pro- tect a man against cold and wet; some pick-axes and shovels, but not, many, as almost every one from abroad brings his own; iron wire seives of all sizes, a very useful article; large pocket knives, pistols of all kinds, particularly revolvers; an as: sortment of edge and carpenter’s tools, and all coarse hardware; watches and chains, both gold and silver; India rubber shoes, a few only; Yan- kee hats, as many as you like. or yourself, bring an iron bedstead and a tent, (single pole,) besides good assortment of heavy clothing—no fine ones required.

Mysterious Disarpearance.—We have the pain- ful intelligence from New York, that Mr. Platt ‘Williams, of this village. has been mysteriously lost in that city. He was bound for California, in compan: with his brothor, Mr. Homer B. Williams; and beth were waiting there for the sailing of the vessel in which they had taken passage, Without any assignable rea. son, or the least elue £ his fate, the lost brother disap- peared, about ten days since, and at the latest accounts no trace had been obtained of his whereabouts. or of the cause of his absence, He had paid his passage, $150. and is understood to have had in his pocket fre three to five hundred dollars in gold, at the time of his appearance.— Wayne Sentinel.
