Almost every nation on the can here find ite esentative ina restaurant, and the geographi- and biographical have been ex- nausted to supply names to ‘m. New England (riends certainly cannot complain of a lack of accommodations, if may judge from the number of establi bearing titles to at- tract them. At one point in Happy Valley, we no- ticed, ata glance, within the compass of a stone throw, the Plymouth Rock House, the Hancock, the New England, the old Bay State, the Merri mack, Pine street House, Fall River House, Qaod- _ House, Bristol county House, New Bedford, Fairhaven, Canada, Museum—and, just by, an establishment rejoicing in the delectable title of the Kangaroo Hotel! A list of the names of these establishments would fill a volume, aad give a good idea of the character of our population, and show Samery lands from which they have been drawa ther. HIGH RENTS. We notice in moving about the city, a great number ef houses “To Let.” Many of these, it is true, are new buildings that have never been oc- eupied, but still there are quite a number that have been vaceted in consequence of the high rents. ‘We know of instances in which tenants have ap- plied, in consequence of dull times in business, for a reduction of one or two hundred dollars in the vent, end being refused, have left the premises, which have remained unoccupied, payivg ne rent at al), and finally been let by the proprietors at half the former rates. No landlord should allow a good tenant to go out of his house if he cen retain him by a slight reduction in his rent. If he does, he need never expect the same rates as befure. Verb. sap. SQUATTING. Each day brings outin stroagerrelief the attach- ment of meny amongst us to the soil of their adopt- ed country. We notice improvements ia the shape of fences springing up ali around us; the very hils are covered almost to their summits by the vote- yourself-a- farm gentry. One day you may pass a Vacant lot, that the lest purchaser is fondly ima- giving wil, in the course of time, realize his most golden expectations; and the next, a neighbor more ising, has feneed it in, and claimed it,as one e sovercig And then comes the tug of th g' of wer; a lew suit is the consequence, or still oitener, fierce words, the stroag arm, or the deadly weepon. We fave heard of more than one iadividval who has bought lots in our sub urbs, and hasgone immediately to secure that all uD, orant pom’, possession, and been met with a s of his new eetate all snugly enclosed, and aw r proprietor calmly superintending the ar- rangementof hie goods and chattels on the pre. mises, and vowing Vengeance against all trespas- vere. The consequence is, that many are induced by this state of things to secure themselves by erecting buildings of some kind or other, as the programme of the squatters does not yet contem- plate an entrance into a house without a tenant, und the leasing of the same. This state of things cannot go on puch longer without 4 collision. [t must be settled, and the sooner the better for the interests of ail concerned. Congress will undoubt- ecly take some uction ix reference to rights of pro- perty; to the laods as well within as without the limits of our corporation. We may expect te hear speedily ot this action, and when it comes we have no doubt all good citizens will respect its authority sud conform to its requirements. “ OUR MARKET. There is no city in the East that can compare with San Francisco in the excellence of its market. itis true, we have not as yet, like them, one build- mg exclusively devoted to this purpose, but still, there are multitudes of private stalls wbere ever, variety of delicacy one can conceive of may be had. Game of all sortsis abundant. The mouths of the gourmands abroad would fairly water at the magnificent array that our streets present of deer, elk, duck, bear, geese, ducks, curlew, snipe, squire rels, hares end quails. Fish of every kind, and moat delicious flavor, are daily brought to our market. ‘There is a company, with every appliance oa the most complete seale, that is engaged in fishing in our superb bay, and inthe Pacilic outside ths Golden Gates. Their fish are brought in every day, alive, 80 that no one need abstain from this dele one. tor fear of its being stale. uge turtles, too, can be seen in our restaurants, and even that most exquisite of all dishes, the oyster. [tis small, it is true, but cultivatioa will improve it as in the East, and we hope to see the day when shell fish may be found in our city, as large, es tat, ond as luscious as those we have re. signed at home. There is no lack of the more commen and sub- stential meats among us. Beef us fine as eye ever rested on, is for sale in all pene of the city. Mut- ton, pork, an! lamb are plentiful, and of fiae cha- racter. Veal we intentionally omit. la the way of vegetables, California may chal- Jenge the world, aye, and beat it. Such grant beets and Brobdigaag turnips would make our mmends stare. Potatoes of the finest qu enormous size, are the product of our soil. Cab- beges, lettuce, radishes, in fact every variety of vegetable, are now raised in our State, infinitely superior to anything of the kind we ever saw else- where. We have plenty of good milk. too, and fresh eggs; aud, in a word, “ail the delicacies of the season.” How vast a change in a few short months! Formerly, the announcement that any establishment had potatoes for dianer, would have produced a general rush, and cabbages would have reisedaimob. Many in the Atilagtic think we are a set of barbar out here on ecorne end ra ef; but co they onare bat Jook over our bill of fare, and partake of our Cali- fornia deinties, they would never want te retura to the cormmon-p ace fare that they now partake of.

(From the San Jose Journal, Jan 29 } Just as we went to press this morning, we were informed by Deputy Sheriff Thompson, that be- tween 7 and 8 o'clock last evening, three men coa- fined in our county jail made their escape throagh the same hole whieh served for the egress of the denuwens of that plice a few weeks which had not been closed up. The prisoners, by some meaas, cut the chain by which they were confined in the room, and took leave, carrying with them the balls and chains fastened to their ancles. Their names were W. A. B. Eltiot, seatenced to one year, for stealing money from Smith’s ranch; W. Taomas, the Sydney man, who was whipped a day or two ence, for stealing horses; and Jeremiah Reney, sentenced to six years, for stealing money from Henshaw’s. The next time that a horse thief is caught, we hi thathe may be so secured as to prevent the possibility of escape. Hxpert of Quteksilver. From the Sun Francisco Herald, Feb 1.

H_ Aspinwall, hus been placed on the Chagres river, intending te run between Chagres and Gorgona. Her tiret ip | wes made to Gorgona last Thursday, and was | highly successful. Gentlemen who came up in her | speek of the comfor's of the trip im the most late tering terms. She will run regularly betweea those two places, so that the great difficulties which have hitherto inpeded the progress of travel | aod the inconveniences attending it, are ia @ great meaeure removed. Another steamer is herag bail: | at Navy Bay, and will very speedily be launched. She, also, is intended to be placed on tha river, form a daily lice with the Aspinwall. The fi ties for crossing the Isthius are increasing and | improving daily. | THE GOLD HUNTERS. We are informed by a gentleman who has just returned from Buenaventura mines, forty miles | distant, that large amounts of gold are procur there dvily, About three huadred and tity per- song, principally lrenchmen, are now engaged ia working the mines, ard additions to that uumber are being made by che [adians or natives living ia the district. He states t the average yield is from two to three ounces per éay, and some of the party who accompanied him realized extraordinary profits fromthe small stock of provisio ey took with then. It is the intention of our inform- ant to send a lot of provisions there as soon as pos sible, as the miners are obliged to pay enormously for every article of living, and, in some instances, he has seenjan ounce of gold given for a cup of vof- fee and asitce of bread aad nam—sixteea dollars fol reakfest! That beats California in fall her extremes of high prices and enormous profits. We have some faith in these representations, from the fact that itis well known here thas the mioes of Buenaventura heve yielded large amounts of gold, and only require to be worked to yield more. That there is plenty of gold on this Isth- mus no one can doubt, and there are still less reesons to doubt ficding it in the old mines for- merly worked by the early Spanish settlers. ne mines of Buenaventura; we have reason to believe, are well worth the working, but the inconveniences and disadvantages attendiog the prosecution are so great as to disarm almost everybody, and repel all energetic attempts.

The dinner and its arrangements reflected high credit upon the Brothers Perkins; and the whole proceedings of the evening, limited in their duration by the approach of the Sabbath, were characterized by “the flash of wit and flow of soul,” and the deep feeling manifested for the suc- cees of the eociety.

Since my last letter to you very little has trans- | pired, if except one somewhat important matter, which has been days. It appears that an under clerk in the trea. sury here—I mean a clerk under the Receiver- General—addreesed a letter to his excellency the Governor, stating that there was deficient in the colonial treasury about £5,000. The same intima- tion was given to the Assembly ; and the w. ter of the letter, Mr. Knaggs, pointed out the way ia which he conceived the truth of hia statement could be substantiated, by the detection of the er- ror or impropriety on the part of the Receiver Ge. neral. The course recommended by him, how- ever, Was departed from; and whether Mr. Knaggs spoke false, or whether some one “in his confidence” betrayed him, I cannot say, but the cash was found correct in the island chest. Knaggs stands charged with falsehood; but, I con- ‘ess, 1am among those who will not too readily accuse him. Time will show. The Legislature has resumed its sitting, and, | may say, proceeded to business with more than ordinary attention. In a few days the tariff will be before the House, end, | think, several amend- ments will be made. What those amendments will be I cannot say, but have some grounds for believing that they will not be calculated to inter- fere with the basiness afiairs of our two countries ; | they are more likely to be alterations in the duties payable on British goods. We are much in debt bere, and unless the island is prepared to repu- diate, (which is not at all likely habitants must be taxed to get out of ou abies.

The amiability and grace, the loveliness aad ac- complichments, the wit, gallantry and fashion of the city were out in fatles measure. We never revelled our eyes among eo many brilliant eyes, aylph- lke forms, swelling bosoms, dimpled cheeks, and swan-like necks, in all our bora or otherwise days. It was ® picture to touch the coldest eye, a® with magic. The bewitching blonde, and the fasci- nating brunette were there in lovely array, and at the hour ot midnight » A thousand hearts beat ha) Music arose with her vol Bott eyes looked love to ey And all went merry as a marriage bell. The ball presented a grand appearance. The brilliant hghts, and the sti more bruliant company shone in the utmost splendor. Swords were placed ineeveral windows, which imparted effect to the beauty of the hall. Among the ladies present who were pre-emi« nently noticeable for beauty, grace, taste and ace complisbment, were :~Mrs. Capt. Clark, an ele- gant lady and a superior dancer; Mrs. Lt.

Daniel Webster, by Mr. Allen, ea Mr. Otis, who was vio= lently opposed to Mx. Webster on’ account of hie 7th of March speech, was discussing the proba~ bility of Mr. Webster's appointment to the office of Secretary of State, in’ Mr. Collector C-rely’e room, in presence of the Collector, Mr. Hadson, Mr. Wm. Kt. Blake, and possibly others, a Mr. Haven entered with a letter that moment received from Mr Webster, saying that he (Mr. W.) had been invited to take the State Depirtment, and nothing more ‘This settled all question as to the feet of the invitation, but was very unwelcome in- telligence to Mr Ous. What conversation Mr. Outs and bis companions entered into they may fetile between themselves; it does not concera the public; but as to the contents of the letter there can be no question. We have the nim. peechable testimony of Mesers. Haven and Greely that no allusion to any pecuniary consideration was contained in it It 1s well understood here that the Massachnset's Whig Cen‘ral Committee was oppored to Mr. Webster's appniatment, and that Mr. Otis, Colonel Schouler, Mr. Weed, of Albany, and other influential whigs, did what they could to prevent it. They were unsuecessfal iv their efforts; but some of them were not disposed to submit to defeat qnietly, and have been nursing their wrath until now, when it has found vent through the lips of Mr. Allen, The intimation that the letter in question w. id hd Hayden, end not to Mr. Haven, is a telegraphic fib. Mr. Hoyden received no such letter. We simply give the above statement for the infor- mation of ovr readers. We have made it with care, and believe it will prove correct. We sus peet that Mr. (tis 18 an impetuous geatleman, of more faney then faet, and that the discreet Mr. Allen hag spoken beyond his knowledge. How- forth they are a!l gentlemen of the same political nee een ae sy, will find +e to a omer ificuities without ead other’s hearts or shins.””
