Connecticut river, for a week past, has been very high; the water has been 17 feet 7inches above low water mark; a circumstance unheard of be- fore in the month of July. The damage occa- sioned thereby should be estimated, not 4 tens, but by hundreds of thousands of dollars. The hay and potato crop are completely destroyed in the meadows; thousands of tens were carried off by the freshet, and what was standing has been de- stroyed by the sand washed on it. Live stock were seen floating down the rapid and turbid cur- rent, interspersed with bridgiog, lumber, &e. The water, to-day, has nearly receded from our whorves.

The recent advices received fiom the country of Upats confirm the diseovery of one rich mine of gold in Yuruary, near Tapu- jueD _Sefor Pedre Monasterio, neighbor of the pro- vince of Barquisemeto, has arrived frem Upita, where he hus spent several months in exploring the stream of Yuruary, the golden grovnds of whieh some other persons had already vistted, bast ye ir, and, to the satisfactiou of all, he has showed the result of his investigations, iu order that no one could doubt of the abandanee of the mine, and of the quality of the metal. Nearly all of the inha- bitants of this city have seen the diflerent samples of ir offered by SeBor Monasterio, the weight of which is, a8 a great many persons are aware, no less than Or ae. Those samples consist of poe dust, and of grains of different size. Of this ast class, there isa weight of twenty ownces, which can be compared, without exuggeration, with the grains of small beans and coffee, and some of them weigh more than half of an ounce. The connois- seurs ascertain that this gold is to the mark of twenty-four carats; and, if it be true, it is one of the finest metals in the world, for the gold of this uality is only found in Maracaibo, East Ladies. Bae this is not the question. The fact is, that the gold exists in great quantiues in Yuruary. Several persons huve bought from one to four ounces, givmg with pleasure, in retura, to Sefior Monas- terio, twenty dollars in current money for every ounce in grein or in dust. 1c is positively known that the value of what has been found by Se hor Monasterio’s expedition is no less than three thousand dollars; aad for some dif- ferences which took place between the miners, it becume neeessary to stop the work, and to go on with iton a more régular and economical scale than that which was pursued ; for it appears that the workmen, instead of washing the sand, used only to take the lumps, throwing away all the rest without more examination, muddying the waters of the stream so that the sediments could not be distinguished from what was washed. We must add, also, some fear on the part of Sefor Monas- teno, who, with only two eompanions, did not believe himself very secure of his acquisition in those deserts, waich are crossed everywhere in search of that metal by companies of pea- sants, who gave him ne great cuntidence. [t is now proved in every respect that gold does exist ia the Yuruary ; that gold, the samples of which have been seen in 1833 and 1834, in the hands of the na- tives of Tupuquen, from which some jewelry was made in Upata, and of which “ tadian Arsenico balls,” were used to shoot deer. As it is well known that many persons are pre- paring new expeditions to Yuruary, and that the greater part of them have not the knowledge wanted in order to insure the good fortune which they so ardently wish, we believe we give them an important service by referring them to the Geo- graphical and Mercantile Dictionary, by Berg, where they will fiad a method in pertect harmony with that followed A’: Senor P. Monasterio in his first and richly productive expedition. We will publish separately this method. On the other hand, the country is wealthy, with an abundance of cattle, game, and fish. It would aleo be prudent to take along some rations and utensils from this city, in order pot to feel the want of them, or not to pay too dear for them in that place, for there will be a great many speculators, a8 in California, who will estubish their hotels anc stores in every stopping pluce on the route, as in Puente de Tablas, Gaacayma, Upata, Gury, and in Tupuquen itself, which will be the rendez-vous, and im which they will have to give the greater part of their work in return for what they may purchase. Curran Bortvar, 2d May 1850. . Dalla P. 8. By a letter from Senor Juan Costa, Jr., who is on a touron the Yuraary, we know positively that another person besides Mon- asterio has fonnd and brought to this city 133 ounces of gold. Senor Camilo Gorrochoteghi, who lives m Tupuquen, and who has followed Senor Monasterio im some of his excursions to Yuruary, writes on the 15th of April, “that the stones which are found produce little or nothing worth the trouble of looking after, and that itis much better to wash.” So we advise the people to go on washing. Ayotnen Mam Ronner Anrxesten —Monday last, one C! imory, who has resided in this oy, about four months, was arrested near Spring field, Iilinois, in the act of stealing sundry ges from the mail bags upon the Eastern stage.

As, no doubt, the other half of the vari ous bills found have reached their destination, we subjoin a description of the half bills found in Emory’s trunk, and which are now in ie pesneation of Marshal Felps. $100 half bill on the State Bank of Kentucky half bill on Bank of Hagerstown, Md.; $29 half bill on Bank of Harrisburgh, Penn ; f bill on State Bank of tndiana ; $2) half il} on State of Ohio; $10 half dill on Bank of Mia- $10 half bill on Bank of Virginia ; $1 balf bills on State Bank of Ohio I helf bills on State Bank of Indi on Bank of Massillon, Ohio; $5 half bill souri and 2 and hd lf bil on Wisconsin Marine Insurance Co: 5: Bo half bill on Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank, Balumore ; by bill on Bank of Vergennes ; and $10 halt Il on unknown bank—the last syllable of which is “field.” The woman of the house, who gave her name as Bridget A.

She will be taken t d as a witness.— St. Lowis Republican, July 24 Tux Tenvastersc Teearr.—Oaa reperasal of the treaty lately made between our governmeat and Mexico, in regard to the night way fora rood across the Tehuantepec Isthmus, we find that all the copcessions are rr ndered of no account, and the contract made a perfect pullity by one fatal omission. We refer to the absence of a provision remitting tonnage duties, and also a provision extoblishing a port of entry in the neighborhood of the Coatzacoaleos. The tonnage duties exacted by Mexico, are very high—three doll irs, we be~ for small, and a dollar and a half for large vessels. At this rate, one large steamboat, plyirg between this evy and Coatzacoalcos, would have to pay the Mexican government at least one han- dred ¢ dotlers a year. This is too ata tax for our commerce to endure. The Tehnaate- pee route can never, under such restrictions as there, compete with the Nicaragua and Pvaams routes, where neither tonnage nor transportavion duties are ex This is certainly an extraor- dinary omission, and exposes the singular want of knowledge ww our nnoister, or in the long-headed no engaged here for some reaty. To hear some of one would imigine that they had the whole thing at their fingers’ ends, and when the contract, of whieh their brains loag beea in labor, wae produced, it would be somet! tha the ridiculons mouse which the mo: brenght forth. Well, here we have it now, in all tt wguntic fearares, and when examined, it proves to he @ perfect nullity—of ao more valae thin the cal skin Upon which it was written.
