As often as I have travelled by the New York and Frie Railroa’, I yet see, om each succeeding trip, some attrac- ive landscapes, vales and rivers, to absorb my attention ni re-impress me with the fact that there is no route of railway so continuously varied and beautiful. With all the ceful, the rude and rugged scenery of Nature, this HE possesses the pleasing advantages to the traveller pf ease. safety. and polite attention. The visiter to the ‘alls of ara can now reach Buffalo at nin» o'clock he same nigit via, the New York and Erie Railroad, branching off from Hornellsville on the Central line. The ried scenery cannot be equalled in any part of the Western Worli, On the extent of the Erie road. inclu- Ring its branches, there are used over one hundred and irty engines, keeping in employ more than three hun- Hired and fifty men; there are 75 or SO in the machine epartment, by whom everythiug pertaining to the eam-engine can be made or repaired at an emergency. Hogether there is mo better managed nor no more for- unate corvoration in the United States—vast im its ex- ent of territory and its casualties comparatively tritling. in writing of ra‘lreads 1 must, however, remark, that if he Legisintave would compel all companies to have a uble track, accidents by collision would be almost im- ossible. This subject should engage the serious con- ideration of the American press. ‘the falls of Niagara have never attracted more visitors han are there this summer. People came not only from ry part of the Cuited States, but from Europe and its ontinent. The Cataract House, on the American aide, has been full every week, and the Clifton, on the Canada ide, was 50 thronged for the last fortnight that several rsons were greatly disappointed in not being able to procure accoumoration, and in being obliged to pay. at ome inferior house, the same amount per diem as would ¢ charged at first class hotel ‘The new railway suspension bridge at Niagara City is he most stupendous structure at present on this conti- ent, and I must confess that when croxsing in the rai aycars over this great Caries link between the wublic and the British Provinces, I felt some slight sen- ‘ion of fear, though the largest trains pass over the pridge without causing the slightest vibration. The rail: foad bridge is entirely independent cf that for foot pas- jengers and vehicles, and is suspended on either site om fron towers anchored in solid rock; the height of the ers on the American side is 88 feet; on the Canada ide, 78; the length of the span of the bridge is 882 fect, nd the elevation of the flooring above the river is 234 et. The structure is capable of sustaining an aggregate ight of 12.400 to ‘ou take (he cars at Clifton to Niagara town, situated r the mouth of the river of the same name, and the ntrance to that magnificent spread of water, Lake (n- rio.

This city has improved wonderfally within the last few lears in ‘its general appearance, and presents innumer- ble new build new streets. As a commercial ity it ranks high in the provinces, and immigration has pnded to increase its Population nearly one-itth daring few years. The inhabitants are not a little proud of heir progreas, and of the position which they heretofore eld at industrial exhibitions, and which they now hold the present Palace of Arta in Paris, whither they have pat a goodly arvay of the productions of nature and the lent and ingenuity of the people—amongst which 1 hay mention a series of the most artistically executed intings of Indian scenery and Indian lite, the produo- lons of Mr. Paul Caneyan eminent artist of this city l years amongst the various tribes, aud hold an enviable contrast with any ® remarkable fact connected with the police ystem which ix worthy of note, though it may be occa- lone by ihe growth and mixed character of the popula- lon. Up to some three or four years ago, the whole ptice force of the city consisted of eight’ men and he chief constable, Mr. George L. Allen—since prointed governor of the jail. I recollect men 0 in’ one of my letters about that time hat they were sufficient for the preservation of the ce of the town, and that a street out wi, or a house robbery, was a thing he police foree now numbers forty men an ey cannot keep the town as it was in 1850-'51.

Lut J understand that the heads cf the Police ppartment have asked Mr. Allen, the governor of the |, to resume his old post of chief constable at a salary+ 00 steriing a year, more than double the sum he w. fd when he lic! that office formerly. While visiting the jail on Wednesday last, an extraor- inary ccincidence occurred. It appears that some few ys since a man, who goes by the name of Simon Kelly, fed that his mame was Hawkins, and that he was of the murderers of Mr. Patrick Clark—a landed pro- ietor, brother of Sir John Clark of Dublin. and a ma. Tate—who was shot near the town of Nenagl, in the unty of Tipperary, about the year 1847, and for which ime two men, named Hayes and Rice, have since been wicted and executed, Mr. Clark was riding around domain, superintending some extensive improve- ts, when he was shot bed Hayes and Rice, and je evidence went to show that when the fortunate gentleman was felled to the ground wkins, who subsequently fled and Id not be nd, completed the work of death by stabbing their vic- mn in the abdomen with a pistol bayonet. Kelly (or Haw .) on being arrested here, declared tnat his mame was t Hawkins; that he was drunk when he sail it was, and ough he admitted that he was from that part of the Old untry, he persisted in not knowing anything of the urder of Mr. Clark.

The action of the Democratic State Convention ia nominating Mr, Beach for Governor, was 80 generally 6x- dodge will provea good one, if the opponents of the Maine Jaw shall prove themselves such asses as to support the Springfield gentleman, after the very strong specimens of the cold shoulder which he has laid before them, His nfidential letter” to Col. Wright has not one word in it about the liquor law. For all that it contains, it might as well have been addressed to a convention of gentlemen having in view the suppression of cannibalism in the Feejee Islands as to opponents of the “coercion act.” is this all; I learn from a good source, that when he was waited on by some of the men who first nominated him, who inquired of him what be would do under certain circumstances, Mr. Beach replied that Le would not oppose any democratic nomination, and that should the democratic convention nominate any other per. sou than himself, he would notaccept that of the “Liberal Vaicn Party,” but should support the democratic nowi- nee, He has not, it should seem, even given any encour- ogement to the anti-Maine law men, and their nomina- tion of him is inexplicable, except on the ground that they were deluded into it by the mis-representations of wire-pulling politicians. That, after the contemptuous insults they have received, they will continue ty support him, is not to be supposed, unless they are the complet- est gulls that ever were duped by knaves; and that ts no the character which they have always borne, as well with foes as among friends. ‘They have ever passed for being, to may the least of their characters, as bright as the best of their neighbors, and one’ does not readily believe that such men will amase the publtc by wrging themselves on such indigestible things re ovks. Even the democratic convention did not say one word against the Maine law, or pledge its nominoes either to its modification or repeal. One vaguely-worded re- solve it did pass, that may be found safticiently strong to deceive some people, but not many. Mr. Stetson, who was nominated for Lieut. Governor, fs anold hunker, who voted against Charles Sumner for Senator, in the Legislature of 1851. Mr. Field, the candi- date for Secretary of State, was a coalitionist, and represented Berkshire, in part, in the Legislature of 1854. Mr. Lord, who stands merely for the time, for the Attor: Generalship, is a hunker. Mr, Buttrick, the eandi- ate for State Treasurer, is worth all the ‘rest of the ticket, but he will not, T'fearn, accept the nomination. Mr. Stevens, who received the nomination for Auditor, is 1 Boston lawyer. He, too, will not accept. One half the ticket will have to be recast, ‘The delegates at large are Charles G. Greene, B. F. Butler, N.- J. Lord and Whiting Griswold, the latter tleman having heen elected in consequence of the whin- ing entreaties of lus friend Whitney, after the nomination for the Governorship had been refused to him. All tho delegates are hunkers, though all but Mr. Lord were once coulitionists, as they will all be ready to be again should national power pass out of the hands of the democracy. Mr, Butler's election only proves how little the anti- Maine law men have to hope from the democrats, should the latter ever get the ney here. He is the man who framed the present Maine law, and is the chief legal adviser of the temperance men. He is in favor of so al- tering the law as to meet the difficalties that it has en- countered, and enable the fanatics to got at those wicked fellows, the Beston liquor dealers. ‘The sincerity at the democratic friends of Mr. Beach, on the subject of repeal, can bejudged of from this fact alone. They don't care a tig about it. ‘The resolutions passe by the convention commit the party to the support of the natioral administration on Yy point.

You can form some idea of the probable extent of the gold in California when I tell you that Port Orford is on the Pacific coast, near the line of Oregon Territory, and nearly four hundred miles trom the central gold mines in the viciniiy of Grass Valley, and nearly ail the interme- diate space has been found to produce gold. The mines of California were never more productive thaa they are at present; aud ay for any prospect that they ever can be exhausted, we might as well ¢xpect the sea to have all the fish taken out, or the subterranean rezions of Penn sylvania to yield up all its coal and fron, J have seen no mines tn California that seemed to promise or perform bet- terthanthese, They are six or seven miles north of Port Orford, and right onthe beach, The miners have to leave their work after a gale, for the waves flood their work They serape the soil and gravel right up of the surface and wash the gold out to the amount of an average of five to cight dollars a day per man, ‘Two or three men own, undey ordinary land titles, the productive beach for some distance; hut it cannot be supposed that a land ti tle for a quarter section of agricultural lands can hold such a breadth of mining land as this at Port Orford. ‘They lack bands and they lack capital, and withal they are coining money.
