Ten days Later from Callfornla. | By the arrival of the steamship Prometheus at ‘this port last evening, we are in receipt of ten days, ater intelligence from California, but the news is ‘not of much importance. In consequence of the continued drouth, the hopes | ef the miners have been disappointed; but, although | the Prometheus brings no gold dust, we learn by | her that two millions of dollars worth is on its way | to the Atlantic States, and had arrived at Panama. | ‘The drouth occasioned fa great depression in every Kind of business, but hopes are entertained that bot- tom had been reached. We need not, consequently, expect sucha large importation of the precious metal for some time to come from that region as was anticipated. It is very likely that the effects efthe drouth will be as severely felt here as in Cali- fornia, if not more disastrously. ‘We learn that a destructive fire occurred at Ne- | wada City, which destroyed property to the amount | ef a million of dollars. ‘This, added to the drouth, | will increase for a time, and for a moment, the dif- | Seulties in California. Some more lynching has taken place in the new States on the Pacific. Two Persons found in the | act of horse stealing on Cosumues river, were | banged by the people. We refer our readers to the details of the news published in another eolamo. The European News by the Malls. The arrival of the steamship America, at Boston, | @ Thursday, enabled us to receive our correspond- | nee and European files, by the mails, yesterday | morning. We have selected from these a variety of miscellaneous and interesting intelligence, which | will be found elsewhere in our columns. As we have before referred to the political events | ef any importance, we will content ourselves with referring to the public banquet given to an Ameri- | ean citizen, at Southampton, in which the authori- ‘ties and inhabitants of that town did much honor | te their guest—Joseph Rodney Croskey, Esq., our | consul for that port and district. This dinner was given in congratulation of his re-appointment to | that post, from which he had been temporarily | removed ; as, also, intoken of the respect enter- | tained for him personally, and in appreciation of | the services he has rendered to Southampton, by his exertions to secure the establishment of the | weveral lines of steamships between that port and New York. To Mr. Croskey and his distingaished | eolleague, Colonel A. Dudley Mann, then our consul at Bremen, and since employed by the Government | ef the United States in important diplomatic trusts, 4s due the credit of having been the first projectors | and promoters of American ocean steam naviga- | tion, and the names of these two gentlemen will be | recorded on the same page that records the fame of Robert Fulton, and of John Fitch. In order to show the importance with which this demonstration was looked upon in England, we have only to men- tian that, besi ral members of Parliament being present on the and acting as stewards, the Attorney-General, Sir Alexander Cockburn, the first law cflicer of the crown, and one @f Her Majesty's ministers, came down from Lon- don for the purpose of assisting at this great com- pliment paid to our countryman. | Captain Sands, of the St. Lawren his officers who could be spared from th the ship were present, and their #f America’s occasion, and all of creditable tot good taste and to their fem.

This direct mode of meeting the question was negatived by the whig party; but the democrats, by a strict parliamentary proceed- ing, though somewhat revolutionary in its aspect, have compelled them, nolews volens, to go before the people. ‘The contest, therefore, will begin on the great question from to-day; and it will probably throw the anti-slavery agitators, and the anti-sla- very excitement, into the shade, for a while at least. We shall watch its progress, and report how the two parties get along. ‘oot-Pianos | —Winkss | sri a Frerrive in New-Jersey.—The last acts | of the stool-pigeon drama, which has astonished | the community for the last two years, are now at | hand. The trial of old Drury of Astoria, on an in- dictment for having counterfeit money in his pos- session, with intent to pass it, was commenced be- | Tue Cosine | fore Judge Greenwood, and a Brooklyn Jury, a few days ago, but was postponed in consequence of | sickness and death in the family of one of the coun- sel engaged in the case. It will be resumed on Monday, and will probably be concluded that day _ or the next. This is about one of the last acts of the concern. We have no special information, disclosing the | character of the charge against Drury, the amount | of the evidence, or what the result will probably be. | Judging, however, from the developements made in prosecuting the various indictments agains, | Drury, by the stool-pigeon gang and their law- | yers in this city, we are disposed to think chat this is even a less plausible case than any of the other charges, which were negatived by our | intelligent juries, or passed upon as absurd and ridiculous by the present intelligent District At- torney. In the various stool-pigeon indictments, | got up under the auspices of John McKeon, and | | prosecuted by him and David Graham, against | Drury, the evidence disclosed that Thompson and | his villainous associates were the contrivers, and | workers, and instruments, in the process of fubri- i eating groundless charges against both Drury and Arlington Bennet. A curious account of Thomp- | son’s workmanship in the stool-pigeon business will be found in another part of our columns to-day‘ — lainies, prepared and written by an agent of the regular police of this city, and who is wellacquainted with all that concerns the character of that man. ‘Thompson was 4 very remarkable knave in his way. He possessed a good knowledge of chemistry, also something of ventriloquism, and could assimilate | various characters, and imitate voices, with remark- | able exactitude. All the evidence produced before the juries of this city, and which formed the founda- tion of the indictments against the Drurys, the older and the younger, and Arlington Bennet, was evi- | dently fabricated, wholesale and retail, under the | management of Thompson and his associates, such | as Bristol Bill the burglar, Meadows, the counter- | feiter and engraver, (both now in the Vermont { State Prison,) and various other characters that he | had been connected with. This brief view of the character of Thompson | and his associates has been developed in the course of various trials had in this city, and the probability | is that the trial now going on in Brooklyn cannot | vary the nature or meaning of those gross fubrica- | tio With regard to another, and one of the leading spirits of this stool-pigeon confederacy—we mean | George Wilkes—we believe fhis case has been mis- understood by the press generally. It bas been | supposed that because Judge Barculo, of Pough- | keepsie, grantedfa stay of proceedings, that there- | fore he is at liserty to return to New York. Such isnot the case. If he were to set his foot on any part of New York State, he would be liable to ar- | ame manner as he could have been taken before the stay of proceedings. The order granted by Judge Barealo, is simply a conditional stay, for the | | ' | purpose of allowing the Supreme Court to pass an opinion upox his charge to the jury who tried the case in Poughkeepsie. Wilkes, therefore, remains still afugitive from New York, and is probably still | roaming somewhere in New Jersey. In the mean- time, we see that the Police Gazette continues its | violent and libellous attacks on Judge Bareulo, and the court at Poughkeepsie, on Mr. Jordan, the late attorney general, and on every one who has been in- strumental in breaking up such a dangerous con- federacy as that of the stool-pigeon gang with | which Wilkes was connected. They will all receive | their deserts in due time.

Frinay, April 18—6 P. M. We have no important alteration to report im the stock market. Quotations and operations remain about the same, The European intelligence has had no influ- ence, either way, upon the movements of speculators, and there does not appear to be, at this moment, anything on the tapis calculated to create any excitement in the mar- ket. The Erie Railroad Company are absut finishing their road, and opening the line through to Dunkirk, There has been a great deal of talk, in Wall street, about carry- ing the stock to par when the first through train passed over the road; but we think those who have been ealeu- lating upon thie will be comewhat disappointed. It will be a long time before this stock reaches par in the regu- Jar way. Speculation may carry it near that point, but there is such an immense amount of bonds upon the market, convertible into stock ut the pleasure of holders, that any attempt to get upa corner must fail The bulls are, therefore, deprived of this great element of speculation, and the probability is that prices will not advance much beyond current rates. Ninety is @ high price fer this stock, in view of all contingencies. There are many other railroad stocks upon the mark per than this at present prices, The future looks by no means favorable for the Erie Railroad Company. Rival roads, parallel roads, cross roads, roads that will tap the main line, and draw travel and traffic away from a large portion of its length. are likely to be built, all of which are calculated to injure the business ofthe company, and reduce the value of its stock, The imerease of rail- cuds in this section of country is o rapid, the éisposi- tion to invest capital in this deseription of property is so great, the improvements continually going om in the method of construction, and the reduction in expense re- sulting from greater experience, must operate injurious- | ly upon those companies which have built their roads | at heavy expense and under great disedvantages, The Erie will always be an important rosd, and of immense benefit to the section of country through which it parses; but we have long entertained the opinion that many years would not elapse before a shorter, better quicker, cheaper, safer, easier, and, of course, pleasanter route would be constructed, connecting this city with the great western lakes, Several projects are now before the public, either of which, if adopted, will accomplish this result. Lake Erie can be reached by a much shorter | route than by the Erie Railroad. At least one bundred miles can be saved in distance, which ensures @ saving of time and money to a corresponding extent: i | Railroads located in some sections of the coun- try never will be more productive than they are now, Other lines will be constructed faster than the tn- crease of business ; and ultimately we shall have a per- fect network of railroads spread over the country Competition will{then reduce the net earnings of each, aml dividends, actually earned, will dwindie down to the smallest per cent At the firet board to-day United Staten 6°, 1807, advanced 1; percent.
