Summary of this Morning's News. The steamship Prometheus arrived here yester- day, from San Juan de Nicaragua, bringing two weeks’ Jater news from California. The details of ‘this intelligence wil! be found at length in another part ef this day’s Heratp. ‘We learn, by this arrival, the discovery of now and very valuable deposits of gold in Mariposa eounty, which for richness excel any that were previously known. We learn that the discoveries ‘were made by a few Mexicans, who, in a very short time, and before the American miners heard of it, extracted a quarter of a million of dollars worth of gold duet {rem a very small area. If this news is true—and there appears to be no doubt ofits authen- ticity—the auriferous wealth of Valifornia bas been but partially known. Itis said this gold is found in decom posed layers of slate, which, on being stirred, ‘rumble like slaked lime, and expose tothe sanguine miner the shining and precious metal in quantities | vafficient to satisfy the most avaricious. California, therefore, ‘holds her own, and more than her own, and we can well afford to let the English boast as much as they please ebout the abundance of gold in Australia. There is one feature of thie news which is not so Pleasant as that concerning the new discoveries At is much to be feared that the Indians in Catifor- nia are conepiring for the purpose of exterminat- img the whites, and that an Indian war will be the consequence. If the Indians should array them- solves against the whites, their extermination will eertainly follow. There is no doubt, however, that they have been badly treated by the white settlers, eepecially by the emigrants from Oregon, who have always looked upon the Indians as ene- mies, and fired upon and killed them without re- morse. At all events, the two races never have | egreed, and itis the red man’s fate to disappear before bis white brethren. The mails of the steamship Canada were received hore laet evening, and copious extracts from our fereign files, and our |’ rench and I:nglish correspon- dence, wili be found in another part of the paper. ‘The gist of this steamship’s news was transmitted by telegraph from Halifax, and pablished on Satur- deylast. Weseeno reason tochange the opinion wo have expressed on the coup d’(tat of Napoleon, or on the condition of France and Euroze. The English are terribly frightened. The extracts we pubjith to-day, from the London Times, show that they are really alarmed this time, and cannot dis guise it. The coup d'état in France has fallen upon Engiand like @ bombshell, and we do not wonder. Louis Napoleon may take it into his head to make another coup d'état one of these days, and he may cross tbe channel and wake up John Full, some fine mornirg, very euddenly. Thies would be nothing more than carrying out the plan proposed by his umole, Napoleon Buonaparte. In the event of sacha movewent being made, we should doubtless be called spon for Delp. What will then become of the Soctrine of nom-intervention! Roseath appears to be gaiiung friends ip Balti- more. In his response to the Protestant clergymen | ofthat city yesterday, ke gavefan outline of the dif- culties under which he labored in acquiring a know- Jedge of the English language, which shows what Tus AntUnron Lorrsny A@ain.--We publish in another part of this dey’s paper, a en tion om the subject of the Art Union lottery. emanates from the board of managers, or ona of that institution, and purports to be a reply - the numerous charges that have been made that body in connection with their tunidiota ee! of its affairs. In giving 8 place to this communication, we do Do more than compiy with the rule which has always been our guide az a journalist, viz , to hear both sider. At the same time, we cannot help eay- ing, that so far from its being a defence against the charges 60 repeatedly made against the directors of the Art Union, in our opinion it gives more force to them—strengthens, rather than weakens, them. ‘To use a mild word, it isa very abasive document. Whena man or a number of men, resort to abuse to vindicate themselves, it is at least prima face evidence of their guilt. Indeed, it abounds with abuse, not only ofthe artists whom the directors have slighted, but of all who dare to find fault with the manner in which they have conducted the affairs of the Art Union. The clique who govern that con- cern, or we might say, have misgoverned it fora number of years patt—re-elect themselves from year to year, purchase paintings of euch artists as they please—mapy of them daubs—keep the prices paid secret, lump the expenses, despotically reject paint- ings from all artists who are too independent to bow tothe dictation of a fow men who aszume to possess all the discrimination, and all the taste and judgment of the fine arte extant; and yet they are not responsible for what they do! This is certainly anice stare of things; and how long, we would in- 7 f these sapient gentlemen, will the public tolerate it? Not long, we trow. The endorsement ofa fow Ertisis will not be eufficient to keep them in their places, so that they may hoodwink the public for another year. It was only the other day that a card was published, signed by twenty-one artists, vindicating the directors, aud warranting them asentitle? to public confidence. The follow- ing are their names :-— B. Levrze, . B. Doraxn, T. Hews pA. Bai TPK Be BD. Huntixeron, £.K Girronn, ©. P. Crancn, T. 8. Cumsincs, K Bacen: Soulp. Is it not very strange that out of come two hun- ered and fifty or three hundred artists in this city alone, only twenty or twenty-one could be induced to sign the eard in question? No doubt great exertions were made to procure signatures ; but | another such victory would destroy those whom the card was intended to benefit. It is very likely, too, that the artiste who signed that card are those who have been favored by the directors—who have been allowed to skim the milk—and whose pictures have been purchased, to the wrongful exclusion of others “Cards” of every kind, now-a-days, are rather sus- Picious documents, and don’t go for much, any- where. It appears that the directors of the Art Union lottery are confident of retaining their offices for avother year, despite of every:hing. Well, let them try it. As usual, we suppose they will pro- pose, in @ tremendous hurry, a list of their own Bames as officers for the ensuing twelve months ; and while the audience are anxious for the drawing to take place as scon ac possible, in order that they may not be kept away from their homes till one or two o'clock in the morning, the question will be galled, and the vote taken. Now, one word to those whe are convinced, as we are, that the affairs of che institution have been mismanaged; that ite funde have heen misapplied by the party in power; that undue favoritism has been shown; and that unless a new board of directors be elected, the whole concern will die and become extiac: before another year. Let all such, end particularly the two hundred and fifty artiete who did not sign the card, calla meeting, and agree upon an oppodliio? ticket; let them insist upon the question being taken upon it. Let them nominate candidates is werdere a man can accomplish when determined. He will be in Wasbington to day. & Tre Senate raised (uoram yesterday, and after the consideration of various unimportant business, | edjourned till Friday. With regard to the prosen- | tation of Kossuth, it was decided to adopt the | eouree pursued in the case of Gen. Lafayette—viz | merely introducing him as Louis Kossuth, and in- vViting him to take a seat. Several highly interesting tables are given ia another page, from the report of the Secretary of | tho Treasury, which will probably be delivered to the House of Representatives to-day. It is understood that the | Commissioners, at Albany, are basily engaged in allotting the contracts. They, will complete their labors by to- morrow afternoon, and then it will be ascertained who Lave been awarded the fat jobs. ‘The debut of Lola Montes as a danscuse, came Off jaet evening at the Broadway theatre. The« house was crowded, almost exclusively with the wale rex. She was well-received, but the audience reomed to be actuated by a curiosity to see the wo- manrather than the dancer. It appoars fromjour re- pert that she did not excel as an artist, or accom- plish much with her heels or toes, but was rogard- ed rather as a gracefu', girlish, pretty, piquant, lady-like woman, moving with great natural ease, and presenting some beautiful attitudes. This was just as we anticipated. It will be perceived that the legal warfare has begun between her and Roux, and that there ie a probability of seeing her in a short time in a new and more interesting character than as a dansewse in a ballet. The Board of Aldermen, last evening, on mo- tion of Alderman Sturtevant, called up the contract for the rebuilding of Washington market, which had been vetoed by the Mayor a short time ago. The previous resolution, authorising the rebuilding of the said market, was carried by a vote of fourteen to four. It must now pase the Board of Assistants before it can become a law. Mayor Kingsland pre- sented the Board, last evening, with another veto, by refusing to sign the gas contract, passed by both Boards a few days since. Mauch credit is due the Mayor for the bold stand he bas taken. fe the Board of Assistant Aldermen, last even- ing, the committee to whom the question was re- ferred, reported in favor of granting Neservoir Square for the crection of a Crystal Palace, in liow of Madison Square. The report was adopted. Chief Justice Edmonds yesterday consented to erant a new trial in the case of Henry Carnell, re cently condemned to be hung for mur \er Kossvtn i Wasnineton.—The receptio Koesuth in Washington will be watched witha great deal of anxiety and curiosity. The first op position to his doctrine of “non-intervention to Prevent intervention,” was raised by the press of Warhington, no doubt stimulated by the lepart- ment of State and the Kxesutive. Mr. Webster was one of the first connected with the government to excite th sand animate the fancies of Kos- suth in a for land. His celebrated Hulsemann letter went far beyond the coldness of diplomacy, plunging almost in the midst of fanfaronade; he ftimulated the resolution under which a United States vessel was sent up the Mediterranean to bring Koreuth to this country—excited the Presi- dent to bring Kossuth before Congress—desired Mr. Foote to introduce his resolution of welcome ; and at the end of all thete movements, he turns round a thort corner, st Congress, excites the Washington press against him, and throws poor Kossuth on the hands of the famous Jackson Aseo- Ciation, with blair at ite head and Rives at its tail (the old printers to the Kitehem Cabinet) The reception of there eldies and counter. currents of humbug, pre- tension, and patriotism, will, therefore, be very amourirg an cbeervers in thie country, and particularly to us, who bave got through the Kossuth cholera, and ere very ropidly returning to common conte wont orruth at Washington, among d very interesting to the philosophical | trticle ‘the’ as “de” whom the public have confidence, and whe are known to keep their cash ner that no charge of defaulting can be brought against them. This will be a constitutional, x publican, and American procedure; and unle: there is eomething very rotten indeed in Denmark, there will be no objection made to it. Our own opinion is, that the present directors of the Art Union sheuld go out of office with the present corrupt Common Council. Both have lost public confidence. Debut of Lola Monte ~The Legal Pro- ceedings against her. The lorg expected debut of Lois Montes as a denseuse came off last night at the Broadway theatre. Expecta- tiom was om tiptoe.

Prices for nearly every fancy in the list, fell eff a fraction,and there was more disposition exhibited to sell than we Rave ncticed for some days. The season is adverse, and many are at this moment large holders, who calculated upom having realized a profit long since. ‘The opening of spring may give an impetus to epecula- tion; butat present there is not the first cign of the slightest improvement in the market. The transac- tions from day to day do not vary materially in extent, and the fluctuations in prices only amount to fraction. It would not surprise us much if this ctate of thinge in the stock market continued for several weeke. Tt will take some time to from the public mind the feeling of doubt and distrust which now occupies it, and restore confidence. Holders of stocks would gladly realize cost, but the prospect of their doing #0 at present is very poor. Atthe first board, to-day, Reading Rail- road declined */ per cent; Erie, *{; Morris Canal, 34; Erie Income Bonds, *{. Harlem Ratiroad advanced New Jersey Zinc, 'j. Harlem and Reading Railroad were the two most active fancies. At the second board there were but few saler, and prices closed weak and un- tettled. ‘The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port, today, amounted to $80,121 08; payments, $89,957 25-—balance, $2.280,566 £0. ‘The steamship Prometheus, from San Juan, brings twe ‘weeks’ later intelligence fiom California. The news is not important, but highly interesting. Advices from the mining regions continue favorable. Commercial affairs in an Francisco were in « prosperous condition, and everything connected with the trade of the interior was in a round and healthy etate. All the markets were well supplied with goods, and remunerating prices ruled for all etaple articles, We give, in another column, prices current, from good authorities. It will be seen by the accounts published, that Californis matters, generally, are assuming @ more favorable complexion. and are set- tling down upom a more solid, permanent basis. We thall have the mail steamer along in a few daye, with the regular semi-monthly shipments of gold dust. The Prometheus brings but a small amount of treasure on freight. A large amount is reported in the hands of pas- repgers. ‘The Canada’s mails reached the city about 5 o’closk this evening, and details of the news from Europe will be found in enother column. These accounts do not vary much from those received by telegraph. From France, the political intelligense is indefinite and un™ satisfactory. The official organs of Louis Napoleon, in Paris, give, as might have been expected, a complexion ta mevements in various parts of the country, as favorable as possible to the government. Private acceunts tella different story, and they are, probably, porrect. The financial and commercial affairs, which are, after all, the true barometer of the public mind, appear to be steadily improving, both in France and England. §0 long aa this continues, there is little to apprehend. Several valuable tables from the forthecming report of the Secretary of the Treasury will be found in the Henao. They are full and comprehensive, end show the movement in several important articles of commerce for several years, It will be seen by the statement of the public debt, that withinthe past year the aggregate has been considerably reduced. The surplus revenue is Vkely te be large another year, and « still greater diminution of the debt, during 1852, will doubtless bo realized. It is our impression that the maturity of the entire debt will be anticipated. The report from the ‘Treasury Department will be voluminous. It willexhibit & very favorable state of public finances, and show that existing commercial systems have worked admira- bly. The secretary will, no doubt, attempt to prove that a different policy would have resulted more favorably in regard to certain interests; but we have the actual, prac- tical operations of that adopted several years rince, which is werth all the theories that can be advanced. We must make due allowance for the difficulties encountered Weyatem to whieh ‘he is" thoroughly eppcsed. and ‘we Po ade aS commere: of the country have Yor beveral years past been conducted. 3 x Y 3222 prs a Seseestessz ped je Conv...
