The News. ‘The Collins steamer Pacific arrived at this port yesterday, with four days’ later advicesgrom Europe, which we publish this morning. The most impor- ‘dant feature of the news is a slight improvement in Breadstufis and cotton in the English market. The Geantinent is very quiet. France goes swimmingly em the high road to the empire. Louis Napoleon $e in the full career of triumph from the most ha- gardous, the most successful, and the most splendid eoup d’état of modern times. In Eng! the case ef Mr. Salomans, an Israelite, ey, net of Parliament, but denied the rights and privileges ofa member, from having refused to take his oath “upon the faith of a Christian,” as required in such @ases, appeared to be tho leading topic of discussion. The case had been decided against Mr. Salo- mans, in an appeal to the Court of Exche- quer, and now the whole question of Jewish @isabilities, as in the case of Rothschild, will have tebe gone over again in the Iouse of Commons. It strikes us, that the Christian disabilities of the British government are getting to be something of a ‘wuisance in this age of the world, especially as Eng- Mand plumes herself upon her liberal institutions. The religious freedom of the United States is, in fact, the only religious freedom in the world. Gen. Rosas and his family had landed safely in Ircland. Spain, it appears, has been making some movement @owards an inquiry into the slave trade, as now car- ied on with her West India islands. We presume ‘the inquiry will amount to nothing, as the Queen motherand her court flies are said to pocket their full share of the proceeds of this piratical traffic. Queen Isabella appears to be a generous, liberal-minded sovereign, and liberally disposed towards her West India colonies; but she is evidently in the power of @ corrupt ministry, as stupid and ignorant as they are unprincipled and avaricious. A Concha would never have been superseded in the government of Cuba. We shall see the end of all this by-and-by. Nothing later from the East Indies. The Crescent City, bringing a regular shipment of nearly two millions of gold dust, and upwards of five hundred passengers from California, also arrived at this port yesterday. A full digest of her news, in addition toa great variety of other interesting matter, will be found elsewhere in this morning's Henavp. The California Gold Crop. ‘Phe arrival by the Crescent City of nearly two millions, per manifest, of gold dust from San Fran- @isco, is a substantial indication of what may be anticipated through the current year from the mines of California. When we consider that during the last year the returns from the mines were mate- Rially checked by a long drought, and that that in- terval was employed by thousands of miners in piling up their auriferous earth near the water eourses, awaiting a supply of rain; and that the re- @ent rains have been most abundant, furnishing ail the water desired for their washing operations; and when we further take into the account the immense effects of the late floods in ripping up the old and Rew water courses, and in laying bare.new and rich deposits in new and old diggings, and superadd to these facts the heavy reinforcements of active dig- gers and washers thrown into the mines, we should ot at all be surprised if the gold crop of Califor- nia, for 1852, were to reach as high as eighty, or even a hundred millions of dollars. According to the San Francisco Herald, “the amount of gold dust shipped from San Francisco, and landed at Panama, during the month of March, 1850, ‘as per records of the U. 8. Consulate, was $1,028,- 569. For the same month of 1851, it was $2,015,775. During the corresponding month of this year, 1852, the amount shipped to Panama and San Juan has been $2,537,704—being an increase, for a single month, of $521,929 over last year, and $1,509,135 over the year before. This great increase, it must be recollected, has taken place despite the disastrous Hoods, which put a stop to mining operations, and cut off the communication with the mines du- ring the greater part of the month just passed.” Nor does the manifest of nearly two millions by the Crescent City, cover the amount brought by that vessel. Large amounts by every steamer, and by a thousand other channels, are brought from the mines in the hands of passengers. ‘Thus, for the year 1851, the amount regularly shipped and landed at Panama ‘was $35,892,012, while official documents show that the deposits of California gold at the various . mints for 1851, were $57,283,755, showing a differ- ence of $21,391,743. This difference can only be ac- eounted for by supposing it the sum taken in private hands, afi of which no official or documentary no- tice could be taken until deposited at the mint. The amount, therefore, carried away by passengers du- ring the year 1851, averaged $1,782,645 per month,” Brought to our Atlantic States, to say nothing of the parcels which go to Mexico, South America, and direct to England. Butif the ascertained shipments to the Atlantic States from the deposits at the mint, were upwards of $57,000,000 for 1851, we may safely estimate, under all the advantages with which the mining season of 1862 has opened, an increase of from fifty to a hundred per cent upon the last year’s erop of gold. ‘Taking these data into the general estimate, with the authenticated returns from the mines of Austra- lia, we can only repeat that this vaet increase of gold is destined to produce the greatest reaultsincommerce and emigration ; and is also destined to effect the most prosperous or the most disastrous consequences to the property, the stocks, the permanent invest- ments, and all the fiscal afd business relations of civilized society. Ina word, the prodigious addi- ‘tions which may be expected to the specie currency of the world during the current year, and for seve- ral succeeding years, cover such vast and compre- hensive consequences, as to defy all powers of human calculation. We can only reason from cause to effect, and judge from the past, to a limited extent, what the future may be. We are entering a new epoch. ‘We are inthe midst of a revolution”—a universal, commercial, financial, social and political revolution. The advantages are ours to control it, and direct it, to the fullest share of the profits. It is the epoch of Young America. Old fogydom may struggle yet awhile to resist the current; but they who cannot ride with it must even be content to be thrown ushore, or carried away by the tide. * CovoreL FReMonr 1s Loxpon. —According to ali the appearance of things, Colonel Fremont is out of his element in London, like a Gch out of water. It begins to be doubted by many of the Californians here whether his plane in Europe will suceced at all, and whether he can sell his property in competition with the new golden discoveries in Australia. Tho London capitalists will much more readily turn their attention to Australia in preference to California ; and we should not he at all surprised to seo the vast gold « eries of Australia entirely kill up Cali- fornia, and all Californian prospects in London and Bare. . Fouarst’s THRATsCAL Srmecn ON THE JvD!. Ciany.—The recent speech which Mr. Forrest made onthe boards of the Broadway Theatre, in whieh he made some allusicns to the courts and juries of this city, has ereated a great deal of remark in various quarters, high and low. That speech was a singular compound, a mixture of bad taste and bitter truth, of a most novel kind. His allusions to the verdict of the jury im his own case in court, was in bad taste; so also was it very improper to assert that any number of erowded au- diences at the Broadway Theatre, applauding a play of Shakspeare, was equivalent to a reversal of the de- cision of a jury, under a solemn oath to give a true verdict according to the evidence. All this was singularly out of place. But his allu- ion to those who attend the theatre on many ooca- sions being the very persons who ‘‘ make and un- make judges,” was particularly true, and as melan- choly as true. Some of the distinguished personages who made all the fugs on that last night, were un- doubtedly the persons who regulate the primary as- semblies in this city, and manage to control the nominating conventions in both parties—whigs and democrats. They do make and unmake judges, and the more ’s the pity. ¢ The bitterness of the truth, told so boldly and plumply by Mr. Forrest from the boards of the Broadway Theatre, ought to sink deep in the minds of the people and politicians of this city, as a fact which is equally discreditable to the organization and management of both the great parties in this metropolis. The May Term of the Law Courts. This being the first Monday in the month, the May erm of the law courts will commence to-day. The various calendars are still heavy, notwithstanding the vast amount of business that has been disposed of, Two branches of the Superior Court, and two of the Common Pleas, will be engaged in trints, ‘The three judges of the Supreme Court will preside in General Term; and in con- sequence of thy rth judge being absent at the Court of Appeals, no Circuit can be held this month, nor Special Term, except on Saturdays. The Oyer and Terminer will not be again convencd till November, unless there should arise n necessity for a Special Term ‘of the Court. ‘The United States Circuit and District Courts will be opened to-morrow, (Tuerday.) ‘The following is the st of prison cases on the calendar in the Court of General Sessions, as returned by the keeper of the city prison:— Grand Larcen Burglary Seduction .............5 Selling liquor without li- 3 Attempé at Driv cmpé at Brirglary: *.

Wehave advices from Acapulco, by way of Panama, to the 13th, and the city of Mexico to the 7th ult, These accounts were brought by the Golden Gate to Pa- nama. They confirm the report, published in the Heratp on Saturday, of the defeat of the Tehuantepec treaty in the Mexican Congress, The report via New. Orleans stated that there was one yote in its favor. That from Acapulco states that it was rejected unanimously by both houses, on the 7th ult. ‘This news was received by express at Acapulco, just as the Golden Gate was leaving. The steamship Com. Stockton, seized by the Mexican authorities, was at Acapulco. The authorities had broken the United States government seals, and pulled down the American flag. What will the government at Washing- ton say to this?

THE PROGRESS OF THE FLORES EXPEDITION—INSULT TO THE ENGLISH FLAG—THE SWEDISH FRIGATE KUGENIE, BTC. ‘We have received intelligence from Valparaiso to the 2th of March, and Guayaquil to the 13th ult. The ad- vices from Eeuador are seventeen days Jater tham those previously reeeived. The Britich mail steamship Santiago arrived at Panama on the 16th ult.. from Valparaiso, This steamer left Guayaquil on the 18th ult., and reported that General Floren’ expedition was still at the mouth of the river, and that he had not made any further advances towards taking When the 8. went up the river, a gun was fired over her |. from one of Flores’ vessels. The captain did not return it, but, putting on more steam, passed up to the city. It ‘was supposed that the object of this was to obtain the Guayaquil mail. It was reported that the British admiral of the Pacifie squadron, with his entire force, was at Callao, and had determined to run up to Guayaquil, and take Flores in hand. This was the report; but it is probably incorrect, ag the admiral would not “ take Flores in hand” except for cause, and the news of the firing into the 8, could not, in any way or shape, have reached him at the last ac- counts, The success of Flores is highly probable, but he is very slow in his movements. According to the Diario de Val- paraiso, his force amounted to 6.385 men, as infantry, cavalry, and artillery, with twelve cannon. Hissquadron consisted of two steamers, two square rigged vessels, and twelve mall craft. Of this force, embracing Europeans, North Americans, Chilians, end Peruvians, is a corps of ninety Yankee riflemen. under the command of Captain Jackeo: The fear of Flores’ friends was, that the Swedish frigate at G meh would interfere and pom the daating of the expedition, but it will be eeen by the following that the captain intends only to protest : The Swedish man. ‘ar Eugeni Virgin. of 40 guns, and manned with a crew of 340 men, arrived at this port yos- terday afternoon, nine days from the above place.

Lola Montes’ Departure from New York. ‘The Countess of Landsfeld departs for Albany and the ‘West this afternoon. Her theatrical triumph on Satur- day night, so far as a crowded house could go, was com- plete. One of the principal incidents which led to this triumph was, undoubtedly, the great victory which she had achieved, two nights before, at the Howard Hotel, in a pitched battle with ccrtain Italian patriots, set on by the Jesuits to demolish her, The Jesuits were completely out-generalled and out-done by Yankee auxiliaries, In consequence of these doings, we understand that a vas, amount of sympathy had been generated among the Sachems of Tammany Hall in favor of the fair Bavarian exile, and in opposition to the intrigues of the Jesuits. Captain Rynders and several of the sachems called on the Countess in the afternoon; some of them dined with her, and vast preparations were made to carry her tri- vmphantly through Saturday night, against all the Jesuits that might be smuggled into the orchestra or the pit. These preparations frightened the Jesuits. Not the ‘lightest attempt was made to molest her; and so, with the assistance of some of the sachems, anda strong de- tachment from the council fires of Tammany, she was again triumphant; and retired from the stage, at the clove of the entertainment, with great applause. We understand that, after the termination of the por- formances, 2 splendid supper was given at the Broadway theatre, at which were present all the actors and ac- tresses, managers and friends, Mr. Forrest, the great tra- gedian of the country, and a strong delegation from Tammany Hall, with some of the sachemsof the Tamma- ny Society. Speeches, orations, toasts, and sentiments prevailed for a long time, till all parties got up to boiling point in patriotism, poetry. and love for the drama. It is said. in rome quarters, that a proposition will soon be in- troduc@@ in_the Tammany Society to initiate the Countess of Landsfeld as one of the female members of that avgust body, under the name of the “ Royal Squaw, Lolyebzchaw.”’ We also learn that when she returns from the West she intends to deliver lectures on the down-tredden people of Bavaria, present a plan for the liberation of that unhappy country, and the expulsion of the Jesuits, which will a in eloquenec. pathos, and patriotism, all that Kossuth has done for Hun; '. In the meantime come curious incidents will probably grow out of the position and surroundings of the Count- ess. particularly in reference to the battle of the Howard Hotel. One of the friends of Il Signor Carissimo, the Prince of Como, who calls himself F. Manetta, has already rent a challenge to Count Kazinski, about which there will soon bea ‘fare up” of some kind or other, The account given of the transaction by Count Kazinski, with the challenge received by him, are as follows :— ‘Sat, May 1, 1852. Dear Sir:— Your most spiritual article about the battle in Howard Hotel, occured au salon de la clmrmante petite Countesse Maric de Landsfeld, Lola Montez. gives me an opportuni- ty to address to you with due respect the following re- marks:— Chevalier Carissimo, or what ever may be his title, from the lac of Como, true defender of Italian independence, Italian republicanism and Italian libertys behind a well composed supper table, vile attacker of the beau sex and declared lover and cavaliere servante of the most charming Mrs Forrest, was about to be moralized by the Jesuit hating Countess, when, with the brutality of a venetian fachino or a napolitan Lazzaroni, swearing like Lucifer, he attacked la chere petite creature, The Lioness quick as gun powder rose from her divan with all the offended majesty of a Czaryn of Russia and applicated with het rosy fingers the most charming soafile of the most well fixed mustachio del Signor Carissimo. The Countess not satisfied with this eclatant revenge, (:a scuffle from the hand of a Lady is in European society considered a great honor:) ordered to ring the bell and after appearance of the Landlord, Mr Dearut disappeared like Judas Iscariot after betraying our Lord. Malheareusement he dont fol- lowed the example of Mr Judas and returned after half an hour, accompanied by one of his friends and expressed the wish of seeing me, I was about leaving the salon when the Countess interferred, defending me the egress of the room. Mr. Pick a most charming gentleman and my friend expressed the wish to return to his faithful eat in his Sanctum, allowed me to accompayny him. Having to communicate some news to Mr. J. A. Scoville, we stopped a moment before the gentleman Parlor, when on a sudden the yoice of the Cavaliere Carissimo aeked me an interview. Whit the indignation of the King of Prus- sia when delievering his specch of religious conscience I declared to this true son of the regeneration of young Italy, that a defender of down trodden Poland, (excuse ime for uring the favorite expression of Mr, Kossuth) had nothing to do with such a per-on, His friend adopted the intervention Pen but I declared to him at once, that I haye not the honer of knowing him, as long as he ia in the rociety of the hero Carissimo, Mr Pick, who had for some time ago a particular Pick of the Signore, could not resist the temptation to try his five fingers into the lange face of the charming young man, Soon the battle became gene- rally and heavy blows were exchanged. You, dear Sir, describe this seene most charmingly and I abstain myself from any description. Allow me a remark, On the battle ground were only Mr Pick aud myself. Yesterday L re. ceived a challenge without denouncing to me, neither the place nor the Lour and I um at this moment waiting of the end of this drama. Reevive, dear Sir the due reepects of Your moet obedient COUNT L, KAZINSKI.

At the close of the stock market, yesterday, there was a heavy, dull feeling among speculators for a rise. Prices for several days previous had been steadily settling down, and there was a disposition among holders throughout to realize. The fancies which have for some time past at- tracted much attention from outsiders, have been so much inflated, that new purchasers are daily becoming scarcer, and the difficulties of carrying large lots daily increasing. It requires a much lager capital to carry fancy stocks at present prices, than when they ruled fifteen and twenty per cent lower; and with those wholly unproduc- tive, the accumulation of interest is no trifling matter. Dividend paying stocks do not add to their cost by keep- ing, beyond what the next dividends may affect; and then again, they are ef better character, and have really some substance; but such stocks as Reading, Long Island, Morrig, Canal, and other non-dividend paying stocka, do not improve much by holding. Six months adds three or three and a half per cent to their cost, and an advance to that extent is required to teturn the outlay and in- terest on the money. There are tens of millions of these unguarantied, unproductive stocks in Wall street, a por- tion of which is hypothecated in our city banks, Some- body Icses and somebody makes, every fluctuation in there sensitive securities; but the profits and losses are confined to a class of speculators, who operate £0 much among themselves, that, at the end of the year, they come out pretty near where they went in. For some days past, the market has looked as though it had reached its cul- minating point. Quotations at the close, yesterday, were no higher than those current weeks ago, and outsiders who came in at the top of the market, have poor pros- pect of getting out without loss. It is, however, difficult to tell, from one day to another, what course prices will take. We should not be surprised tosee a much greater inflation, or disappointed at a de- cline of ten per centin as many days, The great tnflux of gold may give a favorable turn for large holders of stocks, as it guarantios an easy money market, and a stendy depreciation in the value of money. The effect of this great accession to our supply of precious metals Will be more apparent in the prices of such materials as are absolutely necessary for the purposes of life. Tea! estate, provisions, clothing, and such things as enter into universal consumption, will first feel the influence of an expansion in the metallic currency of the country, Unfortunately for holders of fancy stocks, or, in fact, any kind of paper securities, no one is compelled to purchase, It is a matter of choice, and solely for the purposes of speculation, and as safe depositories of surplus capital, that people buy these repreventati When a rapid rise takes place in prices for provisions and breadstuffs, the result either of a short supply, specula- tion, or depreciation in the value of the currency from an increased volume, there is no escape, no alternativer but to submit to the additional demand, for consumption steadily progresses, and admits of no abatement. This is an absolute necessity. Not so with the luxuries of life, or with those artificial evidences of property denominated bonds and shares, At some later period in the movement, When high prices for realities have become permanently established, and the volume of currency enlarged to 2 corresponding extent, other things will be similarly af- fected, and become proportionably inflated. The steamship Crescent City, from Chagres, brings four days’ later intelligence from California, and a large amount of gold dust on freight. The steamship Golden Gate, at Panama, from San Francivco, brought down $1,679,046, according to her manifest. Most extrava- Gantestimates are made of the amount of gold in the hands of passengers by this steamer, but wo doubt the correctness of any ofthem. We do not know upon what data these estimates are based. There is no doubt that the amount of gold in the hands of passengers by every steamer is large; but we think the amounts published are exaggerated, and generally fifty per cent above the actual sum. It might be within bounds to put down the amount taken away from San Francisco, in the baggage of paesengers, at one million of dollars per month, This Will make the aggregate for the year large. ‘Tho receipts of gold at this port, from California, during the first four months of 1851, and the receipts at the mint in the same time, were as annexed:— Movements or Ca: FoRNIA Goin, California Receipts, Receipts at Mint, January. + $2,800,005 $4,040,000 February March. ‘April .. $13,220,000 It appears by this, that the receipts at the mint, in the four months, were $1,086,452 greater than the official re- turns of receipts from California. This is equal to nearly five hundred thousand dollars per month, which can be put down as receipts by hands of passengers at this port. The mining news from California continues of the most favorable character, Nearly all the old mines have this year been more productive than last, Many new veins have been discovered, which yield abundantly, and the most glowing accounts are almost duily received at San Francirco from the miners, as theycome in from the diggings, Operations in quartz rock have not been so successful aganticipated, and the excitement relative to that method of mining was rapidly «ubsiding, ‘The eause of this must be attributed entirely to theabsonee of pro- per machinery, or rather machinery of euffieient power to work advantageously and profitably, As soon as the arrangements made by the English mining companies have been perfected, we may look for vesults In quarts mining, entirely different from those already reported, When all others fail, the quartz gold deposits of Califor- nia will prove a much greater source of wealth than the dry or wet diggh The stennehip from Liverpe later intelligence Furope.

In financial matters we have no change to report. On the whole, the news re. ceived to-day, from all parts of the world, is of the most, encouraging and satisfuctory character, and the effect, upon our markets and financial affairs must be imme- diately visible.
