Gur London Correspondence, Lonnon, Oct. 15, 1850. Monarchy in Furove and Republicanism wm the Umeted States—Joseph Lume—Our Foreign Po- licy, $c. Monarchy is everywhere on its last legs, and its final distppearance at a very short date, amidst the honest execration of mankind, ia certain. Ia Europe, those countries not self-governed, which includes ull but Switzerland and Piedmont, are either under martial law or petticoats. France is @ special case, being in transition—a republic, for the moment, ia the hands of its enemies. But the Feet of the continent is governed by the eaprice of Women or the sabre. The former regime excites one’s laughter in England, Spain, Portugal, and Greece; and the Intter rouses one’s indignation from Russia, which now extends from the Rhine to Norway and Naples. Of these singular dynasties, England, outwardly so strong, is intrinsically the weakest and ectually the most in danger; and Turkey, the most liberal, but in the way of ame- Boration In the midst of the sorrows and trials of the grea, French people, what a refined satisfaction it is to gee half its neighbors—and those the most garra- Jous and obtrusive—extingu shed by female sove- reigns in various stages of the straw. Her Majesty | of England taking precedence, followed swiftly by her Majesty of Spain, and s!owly by her Majesty of Portugal, may be expected every future year, as iin the past, to fulfill the duties of nature, while queening her people. Still, clumsy Joseph Hume considers, and proclaims, sucii an executive to be of the most perfect imag organization ; and doubtless his opinions find echoes in Spain and Portugal, notgless than io Eeglind. But he is a re- former, who hes risen without understanding, and by sheer dint of on. inasmuch as mankind ever take a 1 a !—uot at his real value, but at what he say is worth, so the Hames have instatled their o 8 successfully, even in mimunity like this, ougside of reat: lican France, and in constant contact with Ame- rica.

These are some half dozen inerested and clamorous witnesses who are e@wift to testify for, or against, any fact whatever, provided they circulate their tulsehoods at home, and especially in America. Their hypocritical nonsense about the liberty and progress of the Bri- tish people, is well understood at New York to meen adje rostration of the masses, and contin- tween them and the greater poverty and J power.

Suppose they order the Amencan fleet, by decree of this winter session of the same Theirs’ gress, to — in three months, will Mr. Fillmore fight or run These answers have need of preparation in the Department of State, beeause no aspirant for the Presidency, there or elsewhere, can hope to rise to power except by accident, unless he resolves these questions in © most satisfactory manner. The people of the United Siates are every day sendin; their response, in the shape of newspapers steamships, to all usurpations upon Switzerland, France, or Turkey ; and #s soon as they get rid of the eld set of public servants, and take their of- ficers from the virgin valley of the Missiasippi, they will spesk definitely to those decaying insti- tutions, which their own have replaced, the fiat to disappear. In the meantime, the monarchs of the old world are doing their utmost to perpetrate self- destruction. The Czar is raising his last Cossack to the rank of a soldier, and is approaching the term of time which bas always bi fatal to his predecessors— his twenty-fifth anniversary, which arrives on the Ast of December next. He is drawing to him, for self-protection and co-operation, those wretches of Prussia and Austria, his avowed satellites and sa- traps, who are tottering against each other, as weak from debility as rage or ambition. | The King of Naples has abolished the electors of the people, and directs himself to be served as | their absolute master. The Sicilians will be upon him in the night, lixe the hordes that killed Bel- ehezzcr, at Babylon. ‘The little Dukes of Tuscany, Cassel, Darmstadt, and Schwerin, and the absolute less King of Den- mark, are uncoiling from their ambush in the grase, and attempting to strike at the heart of free- dem amongst their people. England and Russia are busy buying and selling traitors and conspira- tors in all these terrilories, and day and night they are conspiring to evesthrow France—that early, | constant, natural, but neglected, friend of the Uni- | ted States. But the hour, not of France, but of all monarehs, from Nicholas to Solouque, from Victo- ria to Isabella, is at hand.

Despite of | glocmy and threatening. weather, the largest crowd had invaded the city of Versailles, and come thither by the railways, and all the conveyances which they could find. The rue Satory, the largest thoroughfare of Versailles, and as deserted | as the Harlem read in rainy weather, was, on this eceasion, 4s crowded as is Broadway on the fourth of July. The review took place in the field, usually em- ployed for the mencmuvering the troops in garrison at Versailles—an immense ground, four miles wide and five miles long. The place had been roped for the occasion, and multitude were ouly allowed to circulate around this barrier, made of hemp, whilst those who could afford to pay five | francs admission, were allowed to enterthe champ | de manauvre, and promenade within it. Three immense stands, erected by the Jockey Club ef | Versailles, were placed in the center of the vast arena, and were literally crowded with people of the highest social position, mixéd up with cheva- | lure d’ industria, gamblers, aad men and women | of all sorts. It has been reported that there were | about one hundred end fifty thousand spectators at | the review, without ixcloding in that amount the | twenty thousand troops there present. In the pa pal stand, set apart for the haditués of the E » Were seated the ambassadors of | foreign powers, among whom we noticed Count | de Mokké, Minister of Denmark, Mr. Kives, | Minister of the United States, &e , and the ladies | ord devebters of these Seemaries.

The review began at about half-past eleven, and Lonis Napoleon paseed in front of the troops, coa- sisting of forty-erht squadrons of cavalry, com- mended by Generals Korte, Grouchy, Waldner, Prevot, Reibell, and Jullien. There were, also, three battalions of artillery, and nine of infantry, under the command of Generals Neumayer, Ca- vaignac, and Cornemuse. The manmuvering of thisimmenge corps d'armié, | Was Very Imposi and it was a striking coup dail to follow these charges de cavalerie, to hear the thundering of the cannon, to gaze at the flash. ings of the swords, and to glance over these mazes galloping througa the'tield at full speed.

It will be sufficient for me to say, that the font ensemble was cold, and though many cries “Vive Ul Empercur” were uttered, they were bu! isolated manifestations, not worth the trouble takem to record them. In short, the whole afluir, with the exception of the display of troope, Was a comp mangué As usual, the gueurton took place under the shadowy groves of the Satory wood,.where plenty of champegne and cold, provisions were served to the cfficers end sub officers.

The storm which will burst up, no doubt, will be terrible. The horizon is very dark, ond if one may judge of the electric shock w' will teke place by the animation of those who are cherging the machine, the explosion will have an immense retintiseement all ever the world. At the Lilysée, they will do well to prepare the poratbunder, and keep itin order. Every news- per is against these wnconstitntional attempts of ' jyree, and though one of these fevilles states thet “the President will not allow a coup d'état roade against him in the name of that coustitation end the reap to which so many have sworn fidelity at ierbaden;”” yer I am persuaded that Lovie Napoleon does not feel, at present, as sure of bimself as he did a fortnight ago. for some | | m= | The rouges of Ei who have been time very quiet in have now organized hE their Central Democratic Committee, and save sent their emissaries to Germany, Italy, Holland, &c.. with verbal orders to these (és, requesting them to be ready on the first sign: The death of the Queen of Belgium, which was expected by all the doctors who were acquainted with her pesition, took place on the 11th inst., and was much felt all over the kingdom. A general mourning has been adopted by the people; and no better proof can be given of the affection which was due to the daughter of Louis Philippe. The whole family d’Orleans was present when that ter- rible meparatio took place. The foreign news is not of much importance. Another assembly of the Kings and Emperors of Germany, is also to take place at Warsaw, and i seid that it willbe an European Congraan, in which the treaty of 1815 will be resumed and entirely re-established. In the meantime the Empress ar- rived at Warsaw on the 27th, and was received with the utmost enthusiasm. France and Russia have decided to send a repre- sentative to the Diet of Frankfort, which would thus be recognized as the true organ of the Ger- man confederation. England, it appears, refases to agree with the two other powers. News arrived from Morroco, announces that @ riot has taken place there, on account of the tax put by the Emperor of that State upon the skin of every enimal killed by the butchers or private indi- viduals. The people of Fez and Tetuan opposed the law, and took possession of the cities, after heving murdered the authorities. i Faom Persia we receive, by the mail which ar- rived last night, through the Isthmus of Suez, the news of troubles which have taken place in that country. The Shah-Marzi-Taki-Khan, formed 2 council of State, which was not considered as a good thing by the nobles of his Empire, and he met much opposition in the desire he had to diminish thedaxes. The city of Zunjan, inthe Azerbidjan, where the sectarian, nimed Buabis, had taken a refuge, was destroyed by the troops of the Shah. The whole province of Khoressan is ina state of revolt, Juan Montero, aid de camp of General Oribe, has errived in Paris, bearer of private instructions, and sent by the Montevidean goverament to have an understanding with our Mimsters.

Anticipated Revolution on the Isthmus—The Hotels —Americans in New Granada—Deaths, §¢., §e. | propose to give you an outline ef what has oc- curred on the Isthmus withia the past three or four weeks. In Panama, beyoud an apprehended re- bellion, at the head of which, it is said, were Gea. Flores, and the editor of the Echo, Dr. Fuller, no- thing of interest has taken place. It was a most ridiculous affair throughout. I expect, however, that the edilerof the Echo will be ordered out of the country, as, when | left, the Governor, Obal. dia, now the Vice President of the republic, was | about ordering his arrest. There are comparatively very few Americans in town, but in a few days there wil! be quite arush. The Ecuador, Sarah Sands, and ihe Isthmus are momentarily expected with the usual crowd home- ward bound, and from the other way, the passen- gers by the Crescent City and Philadelphia are arri- ving. Tom Hyer is here, dealing monte. Business here is very dull. A great deal of money has been, and more will be lost in pro- visious shipped to this place. I saw some barrels of good mess pork sold a few days ago, tor $7 50. Some of the heaviest merchants ot this place have Iso lost largely by the speculation ia steamer tickets snd sailing Vesseis. Seme four or five fine young fellows, New Yorkers, have bought the American Hotel, and do all they can to please the public. They give their personal attention to the matter. The heal b of the city is so so—some fever, but no cholera. The doctors are dismal, and druggists desponuing. he road to Gorgona is, as a matter of course, out of the question at present; but about the middle of December, when the dry season will have fairl set in, it will be altogether the best route—till which time, travellers should take the Cruces toad. ‘There have been quite a number of deaths in Cruces recently. One was a Mr. Vose, of Ohio; and another was Mr. i. Ro Folger, formerly purser of the Crescent City, but, at the time of his death, connected with the mangement of the American Hotel, in Craces. He wos en estimable young maa, capable, and industrious, and highly esteemed by all who knew him. By none is his death more regretted then by his associat ee who have suflered thereby an irrep: joss. In Gorgona, when I came down the river, there was « litte chalera, but | presume by this time it has disappeared. A good many Americans have died im this place, but they are so quickly buried by their friends, who are all anxiety to get off, that | have not been able to ascertain their names. A Mr. Davie died in San l’sblo, of cholera, and the rascally natives, teking advantage of the unsophis- ticated character of his friend, only charged $125 to bury him, without a coffin, or any of the usual ppurtenances. Now, it won't do for the sympa- luzers to write home about the poor, unoflendiog, innocent natives, after that. In this connection, { oust speak of a set of asses who go through this country, apparently for no other age bse tan to disgust their friends, and make fools of themselves. They start from Chagres with a note book in their hands, and their eyes like saucers. They fancy themselves Hambolits, at least, and think they far surpass that gentleman in the extent of their researches, und the profundity of their remarks, In Gorgona there are now two hotels. The firat and, in my. opinion, the best, is the Railroad lieuse, which, y Bee’ way, with the Irving House in Chagres, the American Hote! in Cruces, and the United States Hotel in Panama, constitutes Miller's line of Isthmus hotels, the only through line on the route. The Union Hotel is very well kept by Mr. James Reed. Ia a word, persons can depend upoa receiving, in Gorgona, ood fare and attention as at apy other poiat on ¢ hmus at either of the two houses above named. There are now at Cha- gres the following steamers, all of which are sn- peth failures. General Heran, Kaphael Rivas, Har- Gleason, and, last and least, the Swan. Mr. Scott, the chief engineer of Law's line of steamers, is about commencing to me the river. If he fin- ishes the work, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the navigation, and if he don’t, things will only “be as they used to was been,” saving and excepting Capt Denchere (one of your old ship news collec- tors,) jine of freight and passenger boats on the iver. They are nice, as the girls say, weil covered and well manned. Iovery one landing at Chagres should inquire for the Old Commodore, if they want a quick and comfortable passage up the river. He has systematized the business, and formed order out of chaos. He superintends the landing and shipment up the river “Miller's United Grates and California Express,” and after that, he attends to the shipment of transient freight. His line, which is called the “Isthmus Transportation Com vany,”” is composed of forty new boats, built expre or the navigation of the river, so that all may de pend upon being accommodate: Col. Totten and Mr. Travtwine, the managers ud be oye the Panama Railroad Co. assured mv, a few days ego, that the road would be com- pleted as far as Gorgona, which is more than half w.y,in the course of the coming year. They spoke positively and advisedly. They expset their pile-drivers in a fortnight, and some tive hundred jaborers from your city. tng have now at Navy Day between three and four hundred able-bodied mea, some of them natives, from Cartha: ‘na, but principal!y Irishmen, from New Orleans. The idea of a plank road being built is all moonshine; of thet you may rest assured. The Panama Railroad Company only applied for the charter to prevent others getting it. I would cautioa all shippers of geode particularly perishable articles, like pro- visiens to be careful by whose line they ship them. 1 mean line of sailing vessels. The brig lamaseua, which wes advertised for Chagres, and received a large quantity of freight principally provisions— therefor, took the liberty of going to San Juan, the result of which was a detention of nearly two months in the delivery of the goods, and the con- sequent loss of many of them. Oloey \ Sessions were the agents. Quite a larye lot of Gregory’a, or Adams’ Fxprese (ioods were lost on the river, | about a week ago. The damaged erticles—at least those thet were found—coneisting of ready-made clothing, ladies’ velvet manties, laces, &e., were sold at anetion in Chagres, ata great loss, The health of Chagres is about on an average, Basi- ness do.

The Adminstration and the New York Election— The Presidency, §c., §c. The administration bas its eyes fixed on the pro- ceedings in New York, and the result of the en- suing elections throughout the State will determine its course for the remainder of its official term. Should Sewardism be successful in the interior of the State, (no serious danger is apprehended in the city of New York,) then we may yet witness an open alliance, defensive and offensive between the friends of Mr. Fillmore and the national demo- crate, north and south of Mason & Dixon’s line. The possibility of such an arrangement was con- templated, from the very moment of Mr. Fillmore’s ‘aking the oath of office, and has never been lost sight of since the passage of the Compromise. That measure, it was agreed upom, by the whole cabinet, (and by Mr. Clay, invitea to the council of the President,) must be fisal, not temporary; hence the effort of the Seward faction of the whig party, to disturb its arrangements, and to rally popular prejudice, fanaticism, and humbug against it. The Fugitive Slave bill promised a rich harvest to the negro monomaniacs, and hence the efforts of the Sewardites to turn it to some political ac- ceuant. They do not care three straws for the negroes; but they care a great deal for the agita- tion which grows out of them, because they expect to turn it to some account. The negro agitation, it not checked and put down by the strong arm of the law, may, to them, become an element of power, expecially if they succeed in exasperating the South, o as either to compel the m« rate men ef the South to succomb to the eathusiasts, or io make them change their present ground and position. Mr. Fillmore, I rather think, has no aspirations to be elected President in 1852. He seems to look upon such am event as extremely improbable ; but I presume is prepared to meet it, should circum- stances combine to bape itabout. Otherwise Mr. Fillmore is willing tolend the support of his admin- i ion to any national whig, that may be select- the_candidate ; in no case, I believe, will he favor the election of such a man es Seward, were he—to put an extreme case~the only candidate run by the whig: z Mr. Webster and Mr. Clay are, [ presume, in the same position as Mr. Fillmore. They are both actional men,and will, in no case, lend their power and influence to ether than national measures. Clay and Webster are national whigs; but if the whig party, ina body, chooses te be sectional and anti-patio then neither Webster nor Clay will be whigs in that limited, sectional, anti-national, sense. Websterand Clay have, for the last quar- ter of a century, been the exponentsof the whig party, and will inno case consentto surrender their principles, and hold subordinate positions. Neither 1s it to be supposed that they will quietly and tamely submit to ing eliminated, or ruled outof the whig party. Should a nomination be made which threatens the integrity of the Union, Mr. Webster will not content himself by saying, “this is anom- inetion not fit to be made;” nor will Mr. Clay abide the issue, ‘as a matter of course.” Clay, in that case, would, 1 imagine, sooner see Lewis C. elected President, than play in the hands of Seward; and when Clay wishes jing, he isnot aptto be a mere waiter on Providence. Clay is essentially a man of action, and the experience of the Last two years has done more to ripen his judgment and steel hi J, then all the adulation of his frends and admirers ever siace he was a can- didete for the Presidency. All the powers of bis mind, all the energies of his big soul are now concentrated on that one absorbin, thought—how to preseve and perpetuate the Union He has outlived the paroxism of party; he has ceased to be moved by partizan feelings; he has abandoned all devices looking to mere party suc- cess. Ina word, he has left the contined and tur- bid regions of politics, for the more lofty sphere of statesmanship, ripened by experience and guided by the most exalted love for the Union and the constitution of his country. If the whig party can aflord to diapense with the counsel and services of such men as Clay and Webster, it need only follow in the wake of Seward and Thurlow Weed, and provincialize itself in New York and Missachu- setts. There will be no whig party south of Ma- son and Dixon's line; and no leading party in the country but the Union party, whether Clay, Web- - Cass, Dickinson, or Douglass, may be its jeader, General Scott is now looked upon as a promiaent whig candidate for the Presidency in 1852; bat, after the experience of the last two years, Gen. Scott cannot expect to be taken up for better or woree, merely on account of his military services. Gen. Scott, if he means to be a candidate, must expect to be catechised in regard to all the leadiag topies of the day, and must take his election whether he will run as a netional whig orasa mere creature of @ paltry faction. In no case will the candidate in 1852 be permitted to run as a free eoiler in the North, and as a Southern man in the South ; nor is it hi that a mere military man will succeed, unle has given evidence of pro- ‘ound statesmanshi Mere availability ce on both sides, and no new eleventh hour m an expect, at this crisis in our national affairs, to run away with the big prize as the mere reward of a skilful in- tnigue. A number of generals, and even a wealthy re- tired naval officer, have been spoken of as candi- dates on the democratic side; but the party is not likely to abandon all piety, paees, and attach- ment to its old leaders, merely to make room for a political adventurer. Such an act would be a liv- ing pauper certificate to its own heart and head. The next President cannot he elected by the mere strength of perty on either side, and the hurrahs that may be elicited from applauding mobs. The man who isto be entrusted with so important an office, must inspire the men of sense—the inde- pendent voters at the country—with eenfidence, if, in the present dilapidated snd disorganized state o| parties, he shall be able to command the sufira- ges of the thousands who have learned to prize talent, rectitude, and devotion to the interests of the whole po above the mere accidents of position, or availability from incidental mosses cs Wasnroton, Oct. 26, 1850. The Cabinet off and en—Bureau Oficers off stul--Hobbie and his Clerks Resigning--Changes in the Departments—Only a Few—Moral Cou rage a great Virtue--A Party that Neglects its Friends and Makers Goes Down—New Union Party, with its Candidates for President and Vice President, §c. This city is just now dullenough. Three mem- bers of the cabinet, Messrs. Webster, Crittenden and Stewart, are still absent. So are three heads of bureaus, Messrs. Butterfield, Warren and Lee. There are a few applicants for office here, “wait- ing on Providence,” with glimmering hopes that something may be done for them by the first of November. Something in the way of changes mn the subordinate offices of the executive depart- ments, probably will be done at the end of the month; but nothing to alarm anybody. It is under- stood that Major Hobbie, First Assistant Postmas- ter General, resigns his government office, with a salary of $2,500 a y: to take the idency of the New York Ocean Steam Navi pan, ata salary ef $6,000 a yen’ itis also underste that his chief clerk, Mr. E ns his off with a salary of $1,600, clerk in the also resigns and ; be connected with th m vigation Company, #8 an agent in that far country. It is probable, moreover, that Mr. Secretary Corwia will make a few changes in the Treasury Department; but no changes to speak of need be expected in Mr. Webster's department, Mr. Gra- hem’'s department, or Mr. N. K. Hall's department. Mr. Secretary Stwart may, by and by, after he returns to his post, make afew changes in the Interior Lepartment. A large majority of his subordinates are democrats, and creatures of Ewing and Seward. The number of Fillmore, or Na- tional Union whigs to be found there is small ia- dt deed. As for the office of Mr. Attorney General Crit- tenden, there are but}three subordinates attached to it, and they are all democrats, Messrs. Reid, B ind the messenger, and all likely to remain. Finally, the whige of the country have no reason to count upon, or expect many, more changes, for the benefit of the whig party, in the Executive de- partments at the seat of government. No party can be sustained, no party ought to be sustained, that will, when it gets into power but once in_ twenty years, keep its enemi jority of the offices turn off ite hard-working and with the implied declaration, that they must go and work for the eause twenty years more before oy. et § bis eellen is destined to ties in the world, to profit from the di worrels in the ranks of the demecrats, and to estab- h Whig sway pon a firm basis for twenty years to come, it counsels its fears and apprehensions, and inevitably cores down. [thas not the moral courage to dispense with the services of its enc. mies end to call, in their stead, to its aid those of its friends who have fought its battles and wained all the victories it hes achieved. It has not the eour- age to put dewn nepotism and cliqueism. It has not the courage to eject from oflice the democratic sons, o. peshows, pol 2 pate crats who e it a matter of poliey an je to dine and wine members of and members of the cabinet. It has not the courage to recall the democrats representing this country at forei; courts who have fathers or fathers-in-law in the United States Senate. In Sne, it has not the courage, of the whig party, asthe men who are the life and soul, the bone and sinew, the rank and file of the whig patty have taken care of those who now oc- cupy the high places of the government and dis- penee its patronage. Hence it goes down at the end of its term. This postulate seems to be universally admitted by all here, whigs and democrats alike, the former in corrow, and the latter with delight, and by all who come here from differeat sections of the country. The plan yeu bere started in New York, o Nd ing a new party, a Union party, composed o' igs and democrats, who have hid erto battled against each other, but who will now unite and stand by the Union and do battle against the factionists and disunionists, North and South, meets with much favor in this region, as it must with all lovers of the Union, and patriots everywhere. President Fillmore thinks it must come to this—that whigs and democrats, alike, will merge their old party lines in the greater and more holy oject of presery- ing our blessed Union against the co-operation of its violent enemies at the North and the South, sailing under diflerent colors, who aim alike to dis- solve end destroy it. It is thought here that the cause of the Union party will be best esubserved, by letting the elec- tions, which are to take place in New York on the 5th proximo, be decided upon the tickets of the two parties as they now stand, as everything there ts #t present so mixed up, 4he Union whigs and the free soil whigs having united vy, the Union democrets and the free soil democrat upon another ticket, and as the day of election too near at hand for the Union party et ae out State and Congressional . tickets, a t ol ganized for the great battle. After the elections of the Sth proximo, the Union party can be organized Senge, the State, have its associa- tions formed, and its candidates for all the offices in the gift of the people brought into the field with deliberation and propriety.

The World's Industrial Exhibotion—Specimens of Canadwn Handucork — The Minerais of the Province—The Chandiene Gold Mines—The Pro- | ductions of the Forrests, §., §c.4 The great subject of discussion, through the length and breadth of Canade, daring the past week, has been the Industrial Exhibitios in prepa- | ration for the great show in London in 1851. Par liament, at ite last session, voted $8,000 for the ex- penses of preparation and to be ‘awarded in prizes. A large amount of contributions were also received from private sources. ed, under the great seal of the province, to carry on the affair. There were several preparatory | ehows held in, Niagara, in Toronto, and in Quebec, and the best articles from them, as well as many others from other places, were sent to Montreal, where they have now been kept on exhibition six | days, and have been visited by a greater number of persous than were ever drawn together in Ca- neda by any public matter. The Bonsecour Market Hall is one of the finest roomsin the world for such an exhibition, being of immense size, well lighted and ventilated, ond in a convenient part of the city. The exhibition appears to have given perfect atisfaction to the Canucks, who are, in fact, quite delighted with themselves, and will, in future, a much better opinion of their own power, which is an cbsolute essential to their attaining greatnees. To accomplish great things, it is first necessary that yeu should believe that you can accomplish them. The show of grain, in which you know Upper Canada excels, was very fine. Twenty-five bushels was the amount necessary to compete for @ prize in fall wh and for the prize of £25, ($100) there were y competitors. [t was, how- ever, carried off by Mr. Christie, of Dumfries, J. W., a Scotch farmer, who plants 400 acres of falitwheat. The minerals were very tine. I do not know whether it is generally known on your very eminent English geologist, Mr. Logan, en- er in taking a eurvey of the province, assisted y Mr. Hunt, a very talented young chemist, a native of Connecticut. He coniributed to the ex- hibition various specimens of th> mineral wealth of the province, collected in his surveys. We had ores of gold, silver, iron, copper, lead, and others ; @ great many specimens of different kinds of marble, soapstone, tripoli, &e., and more especially lithographic stone, the only yet found in Americ lieve. Itwas brought from the township o Manaora, in Canade Weat, & section about fifty miles weet of the city of Kingston. It is a very valuable discovery. 1 spoke of the gold found in Canada, but I doubt whether you, over the lines, | or even the generality of the people in Canada, un- | derstend the extent of the eee prospecting in the neighborhood of Quebec. It has long been gold was to be found on the branches diere River, about fifty or sixty miles south of Quebec; but posed that it was but small in quantity, and difficult to get at. Some five gentlemen in Quebee were, how- ever, this year, induced to look more closely into the matter, and they ended by forming a co-pertnership and obtaining possession of a seignory for twenty years, where the gold was to be found. Their success was far beyond their expectations; one man, em ed in dleging and washing, took out in a fortnight $348 worth of gold, afer better return than California, considering the difference in price of labor and provisions. The company is now et work ona large scale; twent} men ate now employed in turniog off a sma stream, a tributary of the Uhandiere, into a new channel, and it is expected that * big lamps” will be found in the vacant bed. You may now look out for supplies of bullion from the North as well as the South,from the East as well as the West, as it is wid there isa large district where similar in- dications of the existence of gold have been found, and where, it is presumed, it can be profitably mined. | shall let you know more anon. ‘The cabinet farniture in the exhibition was ex- ceedingly good.

We cannot, however, refrain from pub. lishing the following passage from the introductory lecture of Professor Gross. Its views, in reference to New York, are most just, and will be responded ‘o over the whole country. We may remark that he removal of Dr. Grogs to New York is a subject on which we would congratulate our fellow-citi- zens. As an eminent and successful surgeon, he has no superior; his reputation has not been con- fined to the valley of the Mississippi, but, as the author of the celebrated work on Pathological Ana~ tomy, it is European as well as American. | Professor Gross eaid :— A commission was appoint- | | th side, that, forthe past five years, we have hada | ~ In rising to address you, I am oppressed by emo- i fno ordinary kind.

The oc- | cupant of a chair so recently filled by one of the | most illustrious surgeons of the age, aul, as such, the repository of a trust of the most momentoas character, you will have no difficulty m appre- ciating the feelings to which | have just given utterance.

Nowhere, and under no circumstances, have Lever experienced such a sense of my inaig- nificnnee, or been eo fore Sly impressed with the conviction, that man, considered by lamself, in his individual capacity, is but an atom in the scale of the great universe of mind and matter. Bat the darkest passage apparently in a man’s life is not always the darkest in reali I feelthat New York is extending to me, this ning. @ cor- dial welcome, and manifesting @ desire to alleviate the burden of my oppression.

The city of New York is « world in itself. an immense field for medical practice aud medteal fome, and, | am sure, that ail who may choose to enter it will receive a hearty welcome from those who ere so nobly cultivating it. Engaged in one common cause, there is no necessity for ~ feeling or party strife; on the con- trary, there is) every reason why we should avoid all selfishness, all hate, all passion; and why we should endeavor, by individual aud com. bined effort, to give strength and symmetry to the great temple of medicine, which, tounded by our fathers, is entitled, not only to the protectioa, but to the most liberal contributions of the present generation of physicians. Remembering that we were bora to be usefal, and not to be slothfal aud unprofitable servants in the great vineyard of our profession, let us press onward with zeal and energy in the high and noble cause that is before us, end determine, each and all of us, to live, not for ourseives alone, but for the honor of our call- ing and the benefit of our race. Look, fora moment, at this immense city, her position, her means, and her opportuaities. She is the habitation of #, of wealth and fashion, of intellect and edac; of the arts and sciences. In the eplendor of her private residences, the mag- nificence of her public ngs, the equ ent of her libraries, the exteat of her commerce, and the munificence of her merchants, she far exe: eda Florence in the best be of her repablig.
