Great excitement was produced at Rochester by the announcement of the decision of the Court of Appeals, which declares the canal law unconstitu- tional. The democrats immediately issued’ a calj for a meeting to-night, which will request the govern- or to convene an extra session of the Legislature, in order that the canals may be completed in a con- stitutional manner. Nearly every voter in the State is in favor of having the works finished, in accord- ance with the letter and spirit of the constitution; but there must be no competition, no fraud, no Seward intrigue practised. The democrats were on the alert;and by moving thus quickly in the matter, have taken the wind out of the whig canvass. Com. Stockton made a long speech in the United States Senate, yesterday, in favor of the joint reso- lution authorizing the construction of a warsteamer for harbor defences, in pursuance of the plan recom- mended by Mr. R. L. Stevens. So long as the wortty Commodore remained on the salt water, he was in his element; but when he rowed ashore, he Became dizzy, and was unable to steer clear of snags. He endeavored to steady himself upon the demo- oratic platform, but met with less success, even, than he did at Trenton, N. J., afew weeks ago. Tho first part of his speech, where he spoke of the inofliciency of our navy in case of a foreign war, was decidedly correct. Like a practical man, he severely rebuked those boasters whose patriotism generally all runs out of their mouths before there is necessity for action—meaning, evidently, those flighty indi- viduals who pretend that they would assist Kossuth, Kinkel, and other foreign adventurers. He highly complimented the skill of American mechanics— and who has not?’ But when he began to talk of an ad valorem tariff, democratic principles, &e., Jack was ashore. These were the roeks on which he struck, and soon went to pieces. But little was done yesterday in the Senate upon the question of giving additional aid to the Col- lins steamers. That body refused to transfer the contract from the Naval to the Post Office Com- mittee, by a Vote of 18 to 19. After wasting a great deal of time, the House of Representatives yesterday agreed to take a recess from to-morrow till next Tuesday, in order to have the hall thoroughly cleansed and prepared for sum- mer service. It is highly probable that a week will also be lost during the sittings of each of the Na- tional Conventions. Never mind, Uncle Sam pays for it. Several proposed amendments to the tree farm bill were voted down. Ex-Governor Toncev was vesterday eloctad Tat ted Btates Senator by the Connecticut Legislature. | In the House he received forty majority over Roger 8. Baldwin, the whig Senator of the last Congress. The regular free soil nominee, Francis Gillette, only received eleven votes in the House.

Their bad luck with ‘Old Tippecanoe and Tyler too,” and their shocking bad luck with Gen. Taylor, have ren- | dered the old fashioned whigs of the civil and diplo- | matic school, exceedingly distrustful of the fife and | drum. But there is a new class, and a large class, | of young whig voters, who will be seized with the — military epidemic which periodically runs through the country like the cholera; and they will, as usual, | with the women and the children, carry everything | | before them. | Wo should not, therefore, be at all surprised to ree the same sort of an electioncering carnival in | 1852, asthat which characterizod the great log cabin | and coon skin campaign of 1840. Soup will be terved up at every barbecue, and “ fuss and feathers” will be the order of the day. The de- | | mosratie journals generally appear to be quite | sanguine of the succces of their candidate. But who is to be their candidate? Can any of the baker’s dozen of aspirants, intriguing for the nomination at | | Washington, and everywhere else, secure the re- quired vote of two-thirds! How is itto be done?

Will | the old fogies agree to be turned adrift by | young Armerica, or will the little Douglas | play second fiddle to the old fogies? Will the South- em rights party permit such men as Gov. Cobb and Gov. Foote to thrust California with the Com- promise measures down their throats? or will Ran- toul and Preston King agree to the finality of the law for catching runaway negroes? These are hard questions to answer. In fact, the personal rivalries, and jealousies, and sectional splits and squabbles of the democratic party, are such as almost to defy the best efforts of the wisest heads to reconcile them, to re-organize them, and to get them into working orderagain. Within three weeks they are to meet | at Baltimore; and from present indications, there is no hope of any platform, or any ticket, which can bring out the full strength of the party. That the democratic party, upon a fair issue between their principles and whig principles, have a decided majority of the people, and the States, and the fede- ral representation of the country, has been too of- ten proved to be doubted. But the whigs in 1810 and 1848 ran a military chieftain upon a no-party, non-committal platform, and suceeeded in both cases mosttriumphantly. The game, then, of 1840- *48 is the game of “52. The democrats have no idea ofattempting to sct up a military champion against Scott, because, as a soldier candidate, ho stands alone. But, cut up, as they now are, into factions and cliques, in any event, and upon any plan which they may adopt to compete with Seott, their defeat appears to be as distinctly foreshadowed as were the defeats of Van Buren and Cass in *40 and *48, WM, Ubery TOU US have OEM. DCO, He, WU Least, will effectually cure the whig party of military chieftains. Instal him inthe White House, and the Great Mogul himself is not more unapproachable than will be his Excellency General Winfield Scott, President of the United Statesof America. Every- thing will be done according to military tactics. His cabinet will probably be half-and-half soldiere and civilians, and turned out regularly at the firet of the month, for something newer and better. The whole country will thus be kept in a state of whole- some excitement; and the newspapers, the Washing- ton letter writers and tgegraphers, will live in clo- ver. Possibly these home amusements will be va- ried by active intervention in the affairs of Europe or Canada, which will make the General’s adminis- tration still more interesting. He cannot do much mischief without the aid of Congress; but he will give us a variety of magnificent amusements, and abundance of employment to the newspapers and office seekers. It will be a royal administration. Finally, as Gen. Scott is to be the whig candidate, upon Gen. Taylor's platform, the democrats might as well prepare to meet him. They will get no other candidate from the whigs, and they will find no other, as parties now stand, so hard to beat. In a word, Gen, Seott will be nominated, and without letters or promises, or principles or pledges, he may be elected, principally in consequence of the ridi- culous personal squabbles of the democracy. ster men from the Northern States, combined. It is a little singular that the oldest and most respectable ofthe whig journals of this city should be in favor of Webster, who has not the remotest All the con- | shadow of a possibility for the Presidency; that only | | one or two of our least influential whig papers | should be the advocates of Fillmore, who has realiy | the mass of the compromise and conservative whigs of the city on his side, including the patronage of the Custom House, Post Office, and Navy Yard ; but it is most remarkable, that the only city organs of Gen. Scott shoufd be the two abo- lition oracles of W. H. Seward, when it is pal- pably manifest that Scott—excepting, probably, half-a-dozen delegates, at the outside — will earry down the entire whig State dolega- tion to the Baltimore Convention. This curious classifiention of our whig cotemporaries is the trade, and “the higher law.” Butit isall mere by- play and deception, with the exception of the Seward sixteenth of June, find that their neighbors, who are now most lavish in their praises of Fillmore and Webster, will be most rampant and clamorous for the election of Scott. Mr. Humphrey Marshall may ask to be defeated with Fillmore, as preferable to Seward and his incendiary allies; but he will disco- ver, in due season, that abstractions are moonshine, and that the only alternative is Scott and the union of the whigs, and ‘a long pull, a streng pull, and a pall altogether,” North and South, for the public plunder. Mr. Gentry saye that Fillmore will get one hun- dred and sixteen votes from the Sonth, in the National Convention, which will only requice thirty. two votes from the North to give him the nomina- tion. But where are they to come from? ile may gela half dozen votes from New York; but, wxcept- lim prospeet in Mas@achusotts, it is dowbtful er another haif dozen ean be scraped toguther for him, from Maine to Wiseonsin.

The value of*this | emigration, as an accession to our stock of labor and living capital, will, if estimated, be found to exceed in value all the gold dust imported from California, notwithstanding the noise and exaltation that have been created by this importation from the Pacific. A full grown man is estimated to be worth, | as an article of stock or labor, about a thousand | dollars, and sometimes over that sum. In this country, a healthy man, of twenty-one years of age, | is probably worth more thana thousand dollars, | looking merely at the results of his labor, and the | likelihood of his living to the average length of hu- man existence. The whole emigration, therefore, of thirty thousand a month, may be safely put down as worth five hundred dollars a head. If this average be taken as the basis of an estimate, we have atonce | anamount of value added to the capital stock of thie country equal to fifteen millions of dollars | monthly. But these emigrants generally bring over | with them, in addition to themselves, a little pro- perty in money, which might be safely averaged at ten dollars ahead. This would give a sum of three. hundred thousand dollars, which, added to the former results, makes a sum of $15,300,000 per month, which European emigration adds to this city alone, to be scattered throughout the country. The whole emigration from Europe to this country, if similarly calculated, would be probably nearly | double this amount, which would make the entire value to us of Huropean emigration, about thirty-one wiillions of dollare per month, and for a year would exceed three hundred millions of dollars eAditional | accession to the money and laber, and living popu- latien of the country. This constant tide of emigration, flowing from | Europe to New York, is one of the ebief means of its | | rapid increase in growth, population, prosperity, and | wonderful developement; and there seems to be no end to it.

This increase has varied from fifty to seventy per cent. Thousand dollar salaries have been augmented to fifteen hundred; two thousand to three; and three, to four or five. The reasons given for this extraordinary increage in public salaries of city functionaries have not been vory clear or | very satisfactory to those who pay the taxos. Among other reasons, however, we have heard it stated that the extraordinary production of gold in California, by diminishing its value as an article of exchange, and the rise in the price of provisions— including beef and potatoes—were some of the prin- cipal motives for the increase of these salaries. Among the whole tribe of officials, of all kinds, whose salaries have been augmented for these rea- eons, or any other, not one has manifested a spirit of moderation and contentment equal to that shown by Recorder Tillou. This worthy magistrate has actually refused to accept an increase of salary, de- claring he was perfectly satisfied with the salary al- ready attached to his office. Such an instance of self- denial and moderation is prob’ 'y without exam- ple in the history of this city ivr the last half cen- tury, where there has beon such a scrambling for the spoils among ell parties, and in every quarter. But the mania for high salaries is not alono tho passion of the moment. There seems to bo, in va- rious quarters, an irrepressible desire to create now offices and new jobs for aew favorites and fresh beggars for the public spoils. The Board of Emi- gration, under the literary and philosophical influ- enve of Mr. G. C. Verplanck—a highly respectable “old fogy” of Tammany Hall—has actually created anew and unnecessary office, worth four thousand dollars a year, and givenit to some one, for tho pur- pose, undoubtedly, of enabling the individual to make a decent living and a good show in society. There ought to be some limit put to this disposi- tion of increasing salaries, creating new offices, and lavishing the public money in all directions and in all quarters. It is truo gold placers have been dis- covered in California and Australia, but the placers which pay for these high salaries aud new offices are, as yet, confined to the pockets of the hardworking people of this city. 2 Cauivornia Mining Compantes.—The number of mining companies organized in California alone, is estimated at about cighty, of which forty are vo- lunteer associations, without articles of agreement, and composed of fifteen or twenty persons each, who work their own mines ana GIVIGE WC ore penfite The other half are generally articled and legalized associations, with presidents, secretaries, cashiers, and shares of stock—tho shareholders numbering from ten to fifty, some of them working their own mines and others employing assistants. Of these eighty companies or associations, of all kinds, it is supposed that not more than ten, fifteen, or twenty, of both classes, aro highly prosperous or successful. Two-thirds of them are estimated to be the merest bubbles in creation. The great bulk of gold dust exported from California generally comes from indi- vidual diggers, and only a small proportion from the organized and articled companies. We have received come curious reports, state- ments, and results of investigations on these Cali- fornia mining companice, which we shall give our readers at an early day. They represeat in tho true light some of the peculiar charactoristics of these associations. The California companies of which we speak are distinct and different from those few which have heon organized in New York, London, and Paris. In the latter cities there are probably about twelve or fourteen companies or- ganized, and in this city about halfa dozen. Those in this city are principally got up under the auspice? of the stock-jobbers and philosophers of the Tribune newspaper, and are generally considered to be hum- bugs of the firet water. Dr. Beecurr, THE TripuNE PuiLosorHers, AND tHE Duty oN Coau.—The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in his organ of abolitionism and ‘the higher law,” concurs with the philosoptlers of the Tribune on the slavery question, andthe Kossuth question, intervention, money, saddles, muskets, scrip, and all. But upon the question of a duty on coal, the parson and the philosophers disagree. Beecher goes for abolishing the ‘duty entirely, for the benefit of the poor, and against the wealthy coal monopolies of Pennsylvania. The philosophers of the Fourierite circle, whose stock-jobbing operations extend to the Pennsylvania coal mines, are opposed to this plain and consistent doctrine of Christian charity, and plead the good old policy of protection and high prices. And wherever coal monopolies, or Culifornia quartz mining companies, or Lake Superior copper stock jobbing, or New Jersey zinc speculations, are concerned, these interests will be protected, and puffed, and inflated, by our pious philosophers; and if the eredulous are swindled in Wail street, and the public are humbugged, what care the philosophers, so that they make money by the operation. The abolition of all duties on coal would reduce the price to the consumers, and thus benefit the whole population of New York, exeopt those interested in the coal monopolies; but the Tribune stock jobbers are looking after their own interests, not the interests of the community, and so they can’t concur with Beecher on the coal ques- tion. Tue Buoutox Exorement.—Mr, Howard, of the Ir- ving House, requeste us to correct an imprestion which might portibly arise #0 bi prejudice from a cursory read- ing of the report of this matter, which appeared in yes- terday’s Henan. Our reporter said, in reference to the gentleman, who was the principal party in that offair that Mr. Howard “ spoke approvingly of his conduct rub- teqnently to his arrival” at his hotel ; and went on to in- timate that we did not coincide with Mr. Howard in his estimate of Dr, Plummer's character.
