[From the London Times, May 1.] ‘(The advices just received from the United States as- sert that the stream of emigrants to California has, up to this moment, been uninterruptedly continued, oe have been keeping steadily in view the information periodically arriving from these quarters, as connected with one of the strangest events of ourown timos ; and although the history of the new settlement has’ cer- tainly not yet emergod from the period of barbarism, our readers may, perhaps. be amused with a summary of what has transpired rinoe our last observations on the subject. A good deal of the slackness recent; noticed in the intelligenoe from San Francisco is attri- butable to the suspension of operations during the winter, and we may expect to see the new colony Nie the feld again in great strength with the season whic has now opened. It should be remembered, too, in con- ring the incidents of this wonderful discovery, t the scene is laid in almost the remotest quarter of the habitable earth, San Francisco being only not ‘uite so far off as Vancouver's Island. As Mr. Web- Wer cbecrved the other day, in the American Sonate, the voyage undertaken by the citizens of the States, from the province of New York to the province of Ca- lifornia, will be the longest prosecuted on the face of the globe, There has, hithorto, moreover, beon very little direot correspondence between the gold districts and Western Europe. Our intelligence has been almost exolusively received from American ports, and it is difficult to say what it may not have gathered or lost in its passage across that remarkable continent, ‘The most singular condition attaching to the territo- ry inquostion bas at length, we believe, boen partially terminated, The richest province in the world Jor without an owner. Jt has now been proclai that the regions on the Sacramento are the national property of the United States, and that the privilege of exploring the soil is obtainable only on the usual considerations, What effect this announcement may roduce, in the absence of any machinery for enforcing he law on the spot, we are unable to conjecture, but the declaration, it was said, would not be lost on the sa- gacious emigrants from the Union, It was the resolu- tion, wo wore informed, of these free and enlightened citizens to employ this ordinance against all foreign aettlers, and to proceed at once to summary confiscation in the case of all intruders upon territory not their own. Even before this announcement there seemed to have been some efforts made to establish a national owner- ship, for “real estate” was reported as selling at ten thousand dollars the twenty-five square yards, though what functionaries gave the title or received the consi- eration money is more than we can say. Tho revenue laws of the States, however, have been enforced ; but, although one of the chief duties of the collector at the port is to prevent the ingress of imitation gold dust, the settlers have loudly expressed their dissatisfaction that their first instalment of law or government should appear in the form of a tax. ‘o what extent the colonization of this district has been really carried, it is difficult to say. A letter from San Francisco incidentally discloses the fact that at the commencement of the present year the white set- tlers were about 15,000 in number, but the tide of emi- gration has been cetting steadily in that direction ever since. According toa calculation made in Amorica, a few weeks back, some 200 vessela were stated to have taken their departures for California, conveying, on an. average, about 60 emigrants each. Of these fully thr fourths took the tedious route round Cape Horn, and about jone-eighth that by Chagres, while the remainder debarked at Vera Cruz, Tampico, or the Brazos. To these must be added the supplies carried by overland caravans, (through Palmyra, Vandalia, Herculaneum, Jefferson, and Nauvoo.) and the contributions from Oregon and the Pacific islands, though too much stress has ps been laid on the latter source. Altogether, as the entire adult population, white and red, young end old, natiy: nd immigrants, are at the diggings, ‘we may presume that some 60,000 persons are now en- Boged fn ‘washing, sifting, and exporting gold dust. more single-minded settlement than that of San Francisco probably never existed. There is but o16 suit in the pack of Californian delights. Spades are trumps. They gems wash, wash and dig, and dig again. No slave drivers of Cuba ever conceived such ‘an amount of work to be realizable from human instru- ments as is here performed, where every man is his own -master. There is no Sabbath, though one party of diggers, less abandoned than the others, devised a kind of compromise between their prefession and their duties, and spent the first day of the week at home, “in blowing away the cmery from the gold, and making begs ‘et cxwehide,) Proviniodé, have. filand thelr way to the colony, in tolerable abundance, but sickness—a serious calamity, where a doctor's visit costs six ounces of gold and advice another ounce—was prostrating great numbers of the diggers. Who are the idee or by what good luck this single one of the learned ions has found representatives on the Sacra- mento, we are unable to say. Ministers of religivn there are none, not even a Roman Catholic missionary, nor any law, except that which an American citizen usually carries in his cartridge-box. ‘consequences bave not been long in disclosing themselves. Murders were reported in such extraor- pagers’ phlei tothe nearest magistrate—that is to pay, commander in chief of the naval forces on the Ocean—that this officer issue order to the search to be made for bargo to be laid hij wtih mighe's ae em! ‘0 be laid on any ship which might appear to exhibit recent traces of mutiny or murier. Robbing © have been found a more ‘eeable pas- king honey. Bands of rovi ra does plundered first the diggers, and then each other ; and, finally, the crews hired to carry off the gold dust massacred the officers and owners, and sailed away with the prize. &. So truly is the state of affairs estima- ted that our advertising columns may be observed to contain addresses to emigrants offeri: ‘bowie knives,” “self-defence knives,’ and “revolvers,” upon the most destructive principles, and at the lowest term: while in America, a resolution of Congress has auth rized the supply of arms from the government stores to all citizens proceeding to California, It is not a little remarkable that after the continua- tion of these frantic burrowings for more than half a rear #0 little gold should actually be forthcoming. We do not mean to throw any doubt on the substan- tial accuracy of the intelligence received ; on the con- trary, we admit that the character of the accounts is irreconcileable, according to the accepted rules of evi- dence, with any supposition but that of their general truth. Still, it is extraordinary that so little effect should as yet hare been produced, even in the more contiguous country of the States. Hitherto the ope- ration of the discovery has been exactly the reverse of that anticipated ; and it is the flow of gold to Cali- fornia which has affected the markets. “The money market,” said our New York correspondence a few weeks ago, “is tightened in consequence of the export of gold to California, and discount in Wall street now rules at from 9 to 12 per cent per annum.” timated t It was es- t at least 1,000,060 dollars had up to that sent to San Francisco, while the alleged from this port scarcely reached, by the highest calculations, to 3.000,000, and were more rea- sonably set ut 1,500,000—very little of which had ac- tually arrived, so that the balance at present was greatly against the diggings The commercial jour- nals expressed hopes that California “ would surely, ere jlong, contribute some gold to the supply of the treasury,’ but none of the precious cargoes seemed to have been heard of nearer home than Valparaiso. It will be agrand day when the first galleon of the re- public tails up the Hudson and disgorges her golden tribute, nor do we mean to ray that some such event may not speedily take place, But the experience of tix mouths has eertalnly gone far to show that the eflects of this prodigious discovery will prove readily litnitable, and that no sueb derangement of European commerce as was originally apprehended is likely to ensue, Female Fashions for May, 1849, : (From the World of Fashion} Visitixe Costume. —-A robe redingote of poult de sole, rose de Mai; the skirt opening up each side, edged with a white passementerie, confined at regular distances with white silk ge buttons; these openings show the under skirt of white cambrie, trimmed at the bot- tom with three rows of worked iulet; high close-fitting corsage, opening the whole way up the front, confined at the throat with a lozenge button. and fastened close half-way up from the waist; rounded waist; long plain sleeves, rounded at the lower part, opening up the ene tire back of the arm. and coutined at distances with buttons, £0 as to show the long under full slewve of mus- lin, finished with @ row of lace over the hand Bonnet of a deep straw-colored poult de sole, baving a lappet of white lace passing over the crown, and contiued upon the right side with » beautiful shaded straw-colored rose; bouillions of tulle, ornamenting the interior.

Our advices from Rome state that the Constituent Areembly at Rome, on the 24th ult., declared its sitting permanent, and passed a resolution that any deputy who should desert his post, should be considered a traitor to his country. It also drew up and despatched to Civita Vecchia. protest to Oudinot and issued an address to the people. ‘The Assembly then summoned the Triumvirate to its presence, to give an account of the proposed French intervention; who, having attend- ed, Mazanni stated that they had received no official communication on the subject; that they had faith in the good institutions of France, but it was, neverthe- loss, necessary not to negleot all the measures requisite for the country’s safety. The Assembly then, at the suggestion of Mazanui. resolved, in éonformity with the new constitution, that though thoroughly determined to resist the union of temporal and spiritual powers in one and the same person, they were ready to assure the Pope the full and perfect exercise of his ecclesiastical powers.

Tue steamsuir Fatcon.—We yesterday morning announced the arrival of the U.S. Mail steamer Falcon, with news from the {sthmus. The Falcon has been entirely successful from her first trip down to the present time. She made the run from Cha- s to Havana in 44 days, and from Havana to ew York in 4 days and 5 hours. Yesterday morning we made a mistake, in announcing Capt. N. 8. K. Davis, instead of Capt. ‘Thompson, as being in command. Capt. Thomp- son, the gentlemanly and efficient commander of the Falcon, will, of course, understand that the mistake was occasioned by an occurrence which, though annoying, was purely accidental. Mr. Davis is one of the officers of the F., and to his kindness we have often been indebted for papers in advance. With his usual kind intentions, he brought a package to the Herald office at a very early hour this morning, and, as is customary, wrote his name upon the enve! lope, thus: ‘ From Davis, Falcon,” in order that we might know from whom the papers came. In the hurry of composi- tion, Mr. Davis’s name was inserted as captain of the steamer, instead of bearer of the news.

Uston Counse.—Last evening another sporting ovent came off at the Union Course, Long Island. It was a trotting match between the King of Terrors and the celebrated trotting horse Trustee—the only horse ever known to trot 20 miles in an hour. Trustee harnessed to a wagon of 250 pounds, and his competitor to the lightest buggy he could tind. The match forj$400, mile heats, best of five. The day was beautifully fine, though a little keen in the evening. The country, in the vicinity of the course, looks remarkably well, and the grain fields have. all the symptoms of health. The numbers pre- sent were by no means so great as on the last occasion, owing. vo doubt, to the shortness of the notice, The bour fixed was 3 o'clock, but with false starta and other delays, the first heat was not actually run till a quarter to 5 o'clock. The odds, at first, were favor of the King of Terrors, in consequence of tl great difference betweenithe lightest sulky and a wag: 460 pounds weight; but among the knowing ones there was strong reliance on “the bottom” of Trustee, from his past performances, and the fact of his being from the rame sire as the fumous Fashion, who beat every. thing that ever appeared in this country, Trustee is a fine, chestnut color, small. but very compact, running peice head low, and seldom or never breaking into & gallop. ‘There were four false starts, in one of which they ran round the entire course, as if for the stakes—the drivers believing all was right—when it became protty evident that Trustee had the game in—his legs; and accordingly the betting was changed, and the odds were against the King, The latter lost a shoe in one of these fuls# starts, avd had it put on in the interval, : FIRST HEAT ‘The fifth time was a “ go,’ Trustee gotting the lead, and King’s nose right over the wagon for nearly halt the way, but not able to pase bis autagonist, or even come upto bin, till the beat was won by & length, ‘The first quarter was performed in 44 seconds, half the course in 1 minute and 26 seconds, the heat in 2 Minutes 40 econds.

By this intelligence, we learn that life and pro- perty are very insecure in that portion of our terri- tory, and that unless some remedial measures be speedily adopted by the people inhabiting that re- gion, a state of anarchy and scenes of blood, horri- ble to contemplate, will ensue.

This may possibly prevent the occurrence of the danger which now seems imminent; but there is unfortunately too much reasen to expect scenes of anarchy and bloodshed that will appal us.
