“Trip through California to Oregon—BSketches of the Cities, Towns, and Cowntry—Sad Fate of an Bmigrant Party, §. I wrote you last from the southern mines of Cali- fornia, im the neighborhood of Sonora. The weather Deocoming very warm, I concluded to give up my lo- cation there, and try the northern mines. On my way I pamed through San Francisco, and stopped 8 Sew daysthere. 1 was surprised to see how great was the change which the nine months, since I left it, baa wrought. Large numbers of the best kind of buildings are going up in every part of the city, and im the environs many elegant residences are now erected. It is already a noble city, and in but few Years must hold a rivalship with the greatest empo- sams of the world. From San Francisco I went to Sacramento, where I stopped a . Notwithstanding the terrible ca- lamities asp al almost overwhelmed this city, it featill o place of great extent and business, and re- tains, and will retain, I presume, the distinction of Deing the second city of California. Taking a smhll class steamer, 1 proceeded up the Sacramento river to Colusa, one hundred and thirty- five miles above Sacramento. In winter the naviga- téon extends still another hundred miles, to Cowerts- barg. The river flows through a fine valley, of | great extent,.and very productive, but it is quite un- healthy, I heard it said. From Colusa we were taken by coach along the valley another hundred miles, and came to Shasta, a right smart mining town, which has been just rebuilt, very busy air. From Shasta onward is only a mule fwail for the most part, and I accordingly made my way from here on foot, which method of locomotion prefer to any other, and which is here, at any rate, far the most agreeable. It is a little lonely, how- ever; the houses are sometimes ten or twelve miles you may over @ long distance without meeting any one. profound quiet and seclusion of these rural digricts were to me very pees, jeer are startled by your footfall, away from its sound, and all is atill agaia.

The opening of some new ports to the southward has cut off some of the trade that used to come to this place, but still, as the depot of the great Williamette and Columbia valleys, it must always be a place of impo-tance.

You rarely, if ever, have a communication from this place, and I cannot resist the temptation to write, more immediately for the benefit of the nu- merous visiters from the United States who pass it oh their way to Quebec from Montreal, and on their return, a# a late hour in the evening, without being aware of its extent, and of the numercus induce- menta which it presents to remain here a day at least, and to visit the objects of interest in its imme- Giate neighborhood—it being, with the exception of Quebec, the oldest town in the province. I have re- peatedly passed it myself, not being aware of the at- ctious that heve prolonged my stay at present be- yond what I at first intended. It is situated nearly midway between Quebec and Montreal, and travellers will arrive here on their voyage up about 11 o'clock in the evening, who vill find a very excellent hotel kept by Mr. Keenan, not twenty yards from where the boat stops. On the pore ee morning they can take a caleche and drive outto the neighborhood of the Falls, tweaty-one miles distant, which are only inferior to those of Niagara, and surpass tho:e of Montmorenci—which they may visit, and return to the town in sufficient time to inspect what is worth seeing there. In the evening they can again proceed on to Montreal, where they will arrive early on the following morn- ing. Three Rivers is situated at the mouth of a river of that name, but which is sometimes called Black river, from the dark color of its waters, which has its sources at no great distance from those of the Ottawa, and from Hudson’s Bay. It is the residence of the Roman Catholic bishop of the diocess, and the church is at least one hundred and fifty years old. There are also places of worship, with offiviat ing clergymen. here, belong‘ng to the Church of England, the Wesleyan Methodists, and the Presby- terlans, whose united congregations, however, do not exceed four hundred persoas—the bulk of the popu: lation being, as is tne case everywhere in Lower Carada, French Canadians, who caunot number leas than five thousand souls, the entire population being | sie hundred, according to the last returns. ‘he resident clergy consists of the Right Rev. Thomas Cooke, bishop of Three Rivers, whose dioceas is sixty miles on the St. Lawrence, and extends one hundred ard fifty miles into the interior; the Very Rev. F.G. Lorayer, Vicar General, and chaplain to the Ursuline Convent; the Rev. Messrs. A. A. Nois- seaux and J. 0. Prime, chaplains, and Mr. J. R. L. Hamelin, recretary to the bishop; the Rev. S. S. Wood, A. M., rector and chaplain to the Protestant bishop of Quebec, a gentleman of high classical at- tainments; the Rev. James Thorn, of the Charch of Scotland, and the Rev. C. De Wolfe, of the Wesleyan Methodist persuasion. There are at the Ui ie convent, which was established soon after the eettle- ment of Quebec, thirty-nine nuns, by whom the sick are cared for, and who are also engaged in the edu- cation, anpually, of y boarders, and one hundred and thirty day scholars; and there are five brothers of the Christian schools in a separate building, where some two hundred and fifty boys are instructed in a common school education, brother Matthew being the director. There is also a Pro- testaut seminary, of which the Rev. Mr. Wood is president, which bes thirty-five boarders and day Scholars; and there is a temperauce society, of which his Lordship the Bishop is president; ‘a St. Jean tiste Society; the St. Audrew's Society; a Mechanfes’ Institute; a Young Men’s Improvement Association, and the Canadian Institute.

This firm bas given quite aa impetus to the trace snd busicess of the place, and the price of labor, provisions, &c., has experienced a corresponding increase. The house of A. Gilmour & Co. has also extensive timber limits near the upper part of Three Rivers, for which they pwid the government last year a rent of nearly $8,000, without, however, cutting any lomber; but who are at present commencing operstions. This I consider of no permanent advantaye to the place, as it will create fictitions prices as to labor and the ne- cessaries of life, while it will divert the attention of the inhabitants from the legitimate pursuit of agri- culture, and has everywhere a tendency to demora lize a people that are affected by its seductive in- fluences.

The following is a statement of the injustice prac- tised upon American vessels in the port of Malags, by the quarantine regulations there—if regulations they ean be called—the publication of which in your valuable columns will greatly oblige many. I arrived at the port of Malaga, from New York, (with a clean bill of health from the Spanish Consul at New York,) August 23, 1853. I was put in quarantine five days. On the third day » Dutch vessel put into Malaga in distress, bound from Trieste to some port in England, with the captain and one man sick, and was admitted into the quarantine and | hauled into the midst of the fleet. The night after her arrival the sick man died; the next night the captain died. Then there were eight days more tine; because the Board Fe nenith had: permilied the ‘Dutch, veeeel to haul into the fleet, in room of anchoring her outside of the light, the usual place in case of sickness. After laying out the extra eight days, all veeels from Boston were permitted to hau) out of quarantine, but veseels from New York had eight days more given ory (wey of a treat,) besause the Dal a D and it was ramored that it was og! in New Orleans, and as New Orleans was nearer New York than Bostoa we might have the fever on board, ifwe had been forty days coming from New York. The New York nally let oat of quarantine after nineteen da; During the abeve time the bark Charm arrived from New York, and was not permitted to come outeide, but was sent off by the Bvard of Health to Port Mahon, on the island of Minorca, there to remain as long as they see fit to keep her, and then to return to Malaga. She, too, had a clean bill of health from the Svanish Consul here, as I was informed by undoubted authority. During our uineteen days quarantine we had a guard puton board by the Board of Health, to see that no one come on board or went ashore. This man we had to pay and also board. By this means they juite a number, not enly fed, but were receiving jaily wages. Such are some of the humbugs we have to put up with in Spanish porte. Mach credit is due Mr. Smith, our worthy Consul at Malaga, for the exertions he used in behalf of our vessels. He | has protested against the proceedings of the Boardiof | Heslth, and has written to our Minister at Madrid re- specting it. I believe all, or nearly all, of the New ork fleet have protested, and filed their bills of damages for detention, and left them with the American Consul. If there is nothing collected it | can do no barm, and may do some good. I think our papers ought to take notice of such unjust proceed- ange, for the press is as powerful as the government, e above is a plain statement of facts, and if you think proper to print, I am ready to substantiate all the above statements.

New York College of Pharmacy—Introduc: tery Lecture. The introductory lecture before the College of Phar- macy was delivered on Monday evening, in the chemical lecture room of the New York Medical College, East Thir- teenth street, by Dr. Doremus, Pofessor of Chemistry. ‘The lecturer atated that it had been the castem for many years, to commence the course of, instruction by the se- lection of some tepic of general interest. The subject proposed for the evening’s discussion, appropria‘e at the opening of their studies, was certain modifications of af- finity, which might appropriately precede the discussion of the more intimate chemical relationship of bodies. After exhibiting the attractions of solid substances for each other, as pieces of plate glass, capillariety, with tubes of varying diameters, he related that Dutsochey a celebrated French philosopher, endeavoring to discover the cause of the circulation of the sap in plants, found at the extremity of each rootlet, a little sac, containing # solution of gum, surrounded by the moist earth, from which a tube passed up the trunk through the branches, pace gh oman grande rary gear to their under i tabe, inch by neh and foot by foot, nat Aropped from the upper extremity; at the same time, a F amount of the gum exuded. These movements continued for until the liquids within and without the were the rame. The lecturer exhibit- ed a similar result, by covering the larger end of ® glass vessel with a bladder, and filling it with Alcohol, and inserting a glass’ tube four feet in length in the upper extremity , and immersing it in water, The fluid had risen about 'two feet, and was slow! mounting during the lecture—a smaller apparatus wit! a thin membrane, a piece of peritoneum, acted more rapidly, the quid dropping constantly from the tube— thus imitating the ascending sapin plants. He explained the cause of this movement, and made allusivn to its application in explaining the secretions of the animal sytem. How that even-some peasep ber asserted the action of the capillary veins and arteries to be the cause of the circulation of the blood, and that the pulsatiag heart was net the cause, but merely the regulator of the movement, as the balanee wheel of the watch ix ne- cesrary for ite regularity, though the main spriog was the prime mover. However true this doctrine, the ca- iNlary force existed, at least participated, ia the action. Fie alleced to ite explaining the operation «f many me Gicines in the buman system. The tendenciss of gasea to commirgle, and even with force, when passing these membranes and porous bodies, was exiibite’. A glass vessel, which had been filled with carbonic acid gas, and covered with india rubber, was shown, The inilia r was depressed deeply, owing to the escape of the gas and its diffusion through the air. Graham’s diffusion tube was described, and modification of it used in experiment. A porous jar more than a foot in length and three inches in width, a wide glass tube, adap’ed by a cork to its mouth, was filled with hydrogen gas, and the end of the tube quickly im- mersed in water. The gas escaped rapidly and with force, proved by the rive of the water two feet above ite level, lev than & minute's time. The jar was then filled with air and covered with a jar of hydrogen. The hydro: gen vow passed through pores, mingled with the air within, as proved by the rapid ‘escape of large bubbles when the open end was insertedfin the water. Applica- ticn of those experiments was made to explain the uni- form dlffuston of the gases conntituting the atmbaphere, which. though they alldiffer in weight, do not arrange themselves, sceording to their respective gravities; but repeated observations proves their equable dissemina- tion, Allusion was made, to the absorption by the leaves of plents, the processes of pulmonary and cu- taneous respiration. The lecturer then gare a series of Drilliant experiments, illustrativelof the laws of chemics! affinity, all of which were admirably succossful, and elicited repeated applause from the audience of ladies, doctors, apothecaries, medical students, and students of the College of Pharmacy. Before the final experi- ment of the explosion of froth of oxygen and hydrogen gases, mixed ia large {ron mortar, the lecturer begged the attention of the au- diience to s few remarks concerning the institution. The business one of great responsibility. , ata period when the laws of God and man were disregarded, and even the altars torn down, and the existence of the Deity denied, the laws reglating the dispensing of drugs and médicines were held in all their rigor. In our own State, although he who will may practice in the medical or the legal professions, there is a law which frrbida any to dis- nse medicines unless they are graduates of some col- lege of pharmacy, or have received diplomas to the effect that they are qualified to perform what they undertake. In consequence of the enormous quantities of alulterated drugs imported, the United States government had pasted a lawauthorizirg the appeintment of inspectors of drugs Drought from abroad. ‘The friends of this movement an ticipated that each State would provide means for pre- venting adulte ations at home. The College of Pharmacy, an institution of many years standing, hoped that by the diffusion of knowledge by its annual course of lectures on materia medics and pharmacy, on botany and on chemis- try, that ssuch of the present evil might disappear: but it had not met that support which the in :titution felt itself entitled to. The lecturer appealed to the physicians to rea- der their assistance in every way pos#ible—tor are they not completely dependent on the pharmaceutist for the suc- cese of their medicaments? Of what avail the prescrip tions, if not faithfully put up; and how can they be if the drugg's does not know as to the purits of his drags? He ap) to those who had made their fortunea in this traffic. Had they no duty to perform towards their clerks? And if they were thoroughly informed, were no! heir services of greater value? Bet, lastly, he appeated othe young men who had made this their chosen pro- ension, for irom them he hoped muck. Assuretly they had a pride atleast to equal, if not excel, those abroad ia the rame profession. The College of Pharmacy offered ts instruction for a smell expense of time and money. ‘te four months courre occupied two hours of three evenings in each week from now until next March. And, in addition to the lectures, practical instruction is olfered in the laboratory, without which chemistry cannot be acquired. As well think to teach young ladies to bake Dread, roast meats, and other like duties, by lectures. We should be very loth to partake of eal prepared with no more practical instruction. The Poetry of the Bible. A lecture on this subject was delivered by Dr. Raphall, at the Broadway Tabernacle, on Monday evening. The audi- ence, we regret toray, was rather limited, sithough the lec- ture was one of the best we have ever lisnteed to. We have only room, however, for s briet synopsis. The lecturer commenced by giving a definition of poetry in general, adopting, to a great extent, Lowth’s idea of it. He then contrasted poetry with prose; the former was the lan- guage of man under stroug excitement of feeliag—the latter that of a mid ‘keeping the even tenor of its way.” ‘The influence of profane poetry was extensive; thead- mirers of those who had, in ancient or modern times, ‘waked to ecstacy the living ly:e,”” were great in number. But how much more powerful the induence of encred song! How much more numerous the votaries of tho sweet singer of Israel! And this was most easily ae- counted for, a8 the first was the production of man merely—the sacred that of the Most High God. The poetry of ths Bible differed from classic poetry in four most important particulars:—The first was, because inits essence it was purely original. Profane poetry had its roots in the earth, though when traced far backwards in time it would be found to have borrowed largely from sacred peer which had its roots in heaven; and s0 rouch was this the sase, that the@ypes of all the beauti- ful similes and striking illustrations of the one could be traced in the other. The second was, that sacred poetry did rot, as in the other case, depend for its effects on metrital arrangement. Though this was to acertain extent consulted, it acted more as a handmaid than a control- ling tack master. The third difference arose from the innate superiority of subj) which it treated, and this was the secret which enabled it to dispense with art and oraament; whilst the fourth characteriatic of sacred poetry was ita being universally adapted to every climate and to every —even the most advanced—degree of civilization. An other great advantage arose from the peculiar structare of the language itself, which was so harmonious as to merit being called by the Rabbis, “the language of tho increate befere creat was into existence.”’ Dr. Raphall went on to show, in detail, the peculiar fitness of the Hebrew language to express the natural emotions, He then glanced at several obscure passages in Ganesis, which his knowledge of the structure of the language enabled him to explain, and proceeded, in illustration of the main subject of the evening's lecture--the geculiari ties of Hebrew poetry—to view the history of Joseph, as norra’ed by the sacred writers, contrasting his character with that of Achilles, Ulyrees, and Aineas, the heroes of Homer and Virgil, aud showing the superiority of the for- mer, because he possessed, in combination, physical strength, intellectual power, and moral worth, whereas none of the others could lay claim to more than one of these s, in ap eminent degree, He next xpoke of the f'Job, which he designated na the oldest and t isamatical cemposition now in existence. He at some length on the examination of Job’s iden- was an historical or merely allego- historical existence. ———————————E== FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Tumpay, Nov. 6-6 P, M. Quite a large business was transacted to-day in railroad bonds, at prices previously current. Fancy stocks were freely offered, but not so freely taken, The market was very unsettled, and at the close weak. At the frst board, Morris Cane declined 34 per cent; Parker Vein, %; Can: ton Co., 34; Great N. Lead Oo., 14; Hartford and New Waven Railrced, 1; Sixth Avenue Railroad, 1.

We notice many operstions on time, buyer’s option, sixty days. Jt ia the opinion of some very shrewd speculators —of these who have until very lately been bearing the market heavily—that before contracts on sixty and thirty days expire, there will ke a margin of some importance in favor of buyers.

For the benelit of the company they ‘under an individual liability to a large amount, and course, which should entitle them to the thanks of the stockho'ders, is tortured by malice into a crime. In order to make the company perfectly easy in its finances, the present fteasurer, upon accepting office, made an arrangement in various quarters for the discount of $360, cceptances alluded to. One half of the amount eame due to-day and was paid. The other balf | will be paid when due, on the 4th prox. The gentlemen alluded to may well threaten never todo a good natured action again, when such is their reward, In order to reply to the above, we present for consi- deration the annexed certificate, from which, aa it con” taina tbe whole of our original charge, it will be seen that our sole object was to show in the statements we made that the finsrcial condition of the company was embarrassed; and had Mr.Waters kept himself quiet, | this matter would have rested where we left it, as one of the current rumors of the day—a great scal leviathan, floundering and foundering in the midst of financial diffi- culties—nothing more nor less; but as the Assistant Treasurer Waters velunteered to the rescue, the necessity for further examination was the immediate consequence, and the exposure now complained of:— ‘TreasuRsr’s Orrice, N. Y. axp E. Ratizoap Co., New Yor, August 22, 1853, TO THR EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. The money article of the New York Heratp of the 20th inst, contains a paragraph in the wordsfollowing, viz. :— | In the course of a fow daya we shall be able to present | underiable evidence of the extreme wants eakness of | the Erie Railroad Company, and w iH low is their eredit that they have beer to the issue ofpromissory notes tothe a1 lion* of dollars, at sixty, thirty, twenty daye, to the ordor of seven of the Board o partot waich were negotisted in Wall stroot with tacit en: ¢reemen?, in tue purchase of sterling oxchauge at high rales, Which was gold for cash at a heavy discomnt.

Ac- cordingly, I now refer to said paragraph, and aver that the statements thercin contained are positively untrue in every parviciflar. Respectfully, yours, &., T. J. WATERS, Assistant Treasurer, New York and Erie R. R. Co. From a careful inspection of these counter representa tions, it will be seen that while one party denies the ‘hole charge of embarrassment and the issue of notes for the relief of the company, the ether acknowledges the impeachment, and claims reward for their protective self-sacrificing policy. If we had time and space we would go through an entire canvass of this peculiar affair, and prove, through a variety of testimony, that the discre- pancies were the result of a financial crisis among the parties. We charged that ecceptances had been issued to raise money for the relief of the company, and that these notes were for various cums, making am aggregate of about a million, the existence of which bir. Waters de- nied, through an official note, on the 224 August, when, in fact and in truth, these endorsed acceptances had been in circulation fer three weeks; and we now venture to prove, if denied, that the $350,000 acknowledged bY the paper alluded to, was no part or parcel of the drafts to which our article had reference, but, on the contrary, an additional indebtedness, The annexed copy of one of the acceptances of the lowest dexomination, exhibits the whole truth, and plainly shows the real character of the transaction—that the credit of the company was used and involved for the sole purpose of sustaining a private stock speculation, entirely selfish and independent of the interests of the company, which would have been much better served had the tampering and vitiated resort to its credit been avoided. Thisnoteis, in its form, conclusive of our representation, and affords abundant proof that the Assistant Treasurer’s certificate the ill be was written in good faith, im ignorance of the facts. To ‘be brief, we now state that Mr. Homer Ramsdell had no authority from the board of directors to draw en the Treasurer, Robinson, in his private character, and that, having once done so by a connivance with the treasurer, and ceveral of the ‘iate directors, these acceptances never were registered, and, therefore, could not have come under the cognizance of the sub-treasurer, in whose department all regularly issued notes, bonds and accep- tances are uniformly registered; but as the notes to “which we referred were illegitimate and issued without the sanction of the directors, Mr. Waters knew nothing of them, and therefore protested against their existence: With regard to the payment stated to have been made, we have taken the liberty, with all due res- pect to the directors implicated, to say that mo pay- ments have been made, but that all that was done was an extension, with a remodelling of the paper, secured with additional endorsers, The company remains still responrible, and, in the event of a failure in the stock speculation of the grantees, will have to bear the whole burthen. Thus much for the precious regard for the stockholders, Ifthe drafts had been made for a legitimate purpose, for the benefit of the company, they would have been sigued Homer Ramacell, president; but imarmuch af this was not the: object, Mr. Ramsdell took counsel, legal knowledge, which informed him, as he ima- gined, that he could commit acts in hia private capacity which might be construed criminal as president of the company; still, he and they may eventually discover that this is a difference without a distinction. We have heretofore charged no crime; we only stated the facts as they appeared; the inference, therefore, of criminality, although perfectly natural, has been the sheer result ot their own comsciousness, and their more perfect knowledge of the entanglements of the entire ope- ration. But one thing is certain—ae long as the spesula- tive movements of the parties remain an incubus on the stock market, there can be no let up for the benefit of the commercial community. Here in the draft, and those interested will carefully note how it reads:— $26,000.

Turspay, Nov. 86 P. M, Advices from Canada look as though mining on the British side of Lake Superior was to be prosecuted with unusuakvigor during the coming season. Several loca- tions have already been taken up or spoken for, ani the Quebec Mining Company, an association which has been apparently defunct for the last two or three years, hag resumed its property, and intends to renew itoflabors. Its now holds a location on Michipicoten island, one at Saint Ignace, and four on the maia shore, near Mamainse, com- prising a total of sixty square miles. At the rate mining, properties have been recently selling on the south shore, these Quebecers ought to be ina fair way to make a for- tune. Time will show whether they have benefitted by the faults of the past, or whether they will continue to fritter away time and money in fruitless operations, under inexperienced and nameless managers. Professor Phil- lips, the celebrated Fnglish mineralogist, and Captain Kent, have visited Michipicoten island, and report favor- ably on its appearance There was an active demand for mining stocks at tho: \t board to-day, and better prices ruled. ‘hie | board there was an advance in Potosi Lead and igh. Zine. North Carelina Copper is improvi slowly, and, judging from the amounts received from the mines, it io- likely to be permament. Phenix Gold has taken a start upward within the past day or two, but the sales have- been principally on time.
