The interest felt in tbe result of tho contest for the gubernatorial nomination is very great. Weller ant Latham go into the convention with about ninety votes each, Nugent 45, and Deaver 22. At present Weller’s prospects look brightest; but as it will take about 125 votes to succeed, the result js yet very doubtful. The Latham party is bitterly opposed to Weiler, and there ls mo chance of a fusion between them. Nugent’s frienas aro equally hostile to Weller; but between Latham and Nugent ther exists some sympathy. At the proseat time the friends of each candidate are sanguine as to the success of their favorities, It is estimated that at least five thousand per. pons will leave San Francisco during the next two days to itend the convention. A difficulty occurred a few days since between Messrs. ‘James Coffrath (an unsuccessful aspirant for Congress be- fore the apti Lecompton Convention) and Josepa 0. Mo- Kibben. Both gentlemen left Sacramento to figat a duel, Dut the officers of law interposed and prevented the combat.

San FRancisco, Juno 17, 1859, During the fortnight the money market has been quiet, but cn the eve of steamer day it becomes apparent that the requirement wil be large. Thero is an iacreasing demand, and already much stringency is felt. The rates of inte: rest, however, have undergone no change, and very little on coilsteral is dono under 23g per cent. Oa real ealate the range is from 1% to 2 per cent, The receipts of gold dust thus far in the month have been \ighi—s fact for which there is no readily assignabie cause, emece on all hands it is conceded that activity prevails throughout the mining districts. It is frequently the case, nowever, that such irregulanties are presented, even dur. ing the bustest feasons, and parties versed in the gold dust trade entertain confidence that the moathiy aggregate will be full up to the usual amount at this season, if 1% docs no’ exceed it, ‘This failing off in the receip's of gold ig indicated by the comparatively tmall deposita at the mint, and the not ia. ordinate supply of bars. At the present writing we have heard of few coptracis jor bars, but the previleat opinion fe that they will advance on present rates, which may be qucted at 840 a 850 fie, par. The casy rates of excuange (sight 2 per cent), and tho low treight on treasure (3¢ per cent vy both links), to getter with the fact that couriderabie obligations have matored for the preeent steamcrs, induce the expactation of a heavy treasure shipment, with its usual attendant, a tight money market towarda the close.

Trade has varied little in ite features from thoso previously noticed, and the mar. ket bas been almost bare of buyers who were willing to operate to any extent, leaving imporiers little opportunity to dispose of goods ‘except in very limited quantities. Whenever sales of any momont have been consummated very low prices baye necessarily been submitted to, We baye contizuous!y, for severa! months past, alluded to the excessive stocks of goods beld ta our market, and called attention to the fact of the euperabundant Bupplice exiating ana arriving in too great preponderance to the wants Of the country, We can in no degree vary our statements made hitherto in these respects; and, in roter- Ting to the busizees occurring during the period now under notico, wo can Only reiterate our remarks, and at the eame dime state that every day serves to argravate tho evils complained of Holdors of goods are greatly do: mdent,and & rally tn the market, except for one or tivo articles, stoma likely to be deferred to an infofinite period. Tao country has taken laigely of suppiter, and a correspoadingiy Liberal quantity has been disiributed to poin's without our own State, but no animation has been imparted to trade even bya consumption tbat is evidentty greater than ever experienced. Stocks aro so mash disoroportioned ‘to the want of consumers dependent upon our market, ‘that it bas been necessary to concede something to buyers ‘upon every renewed transaction. It would seem an anomaly in trade that, with advancing marketsin the Atiantic States for many articles that enter largely into the consumption of this couutry, and which in come Instances atthe present time rule quite as low here ag ut the points of abipment, no correapondisg im. Provement should occur with us. But the scarcity of Money precludes any ability to sustain stocks which we ‘understand are bi constantly repieaisued by shippers in utter cisregard of resulta, it would seem to matter Iittle what may be the coxt of goods clsewhere, when there ia no possibility of forcing « market for thom in the locality whcro they are required to be gold. The periehable nature Of maay goods also operates to prevent any reaction, for saitbourh Ite deemed disastrous to sell, a worse aiterna- 'v, Of depreciation to unmerchantable condition, presents ‘um up the condition of trade with us by atating fat toero, ‘a complete. glut, wth onl7.one notable ex? , of all articles of merchandise.

At Cuzco a military revolution, headed by Col. Co- ballos, broke out on the 23d of May, and on the 24th the colonel arsumed the military and civil control of the de- partment, deposing the government alcaldes, &c. The reason for the revolt is said to be that Ceballos did not like to be superseded in the chief command of the government troops, amounting to 1,500 or 2,000 ,in the department, All the troops went over, with thair leader, and itis said a force was despatched to take possession or rune. Evbebique, Ureta and Castillo, who have been waiting on the frontiers of Bolivia for a movement of this kind, it ig expected will join Ceballos, and it is reported they have already raised 800 men for that purpose. The government at Lima allects inditference at this movements, but it is evident it does #ot feel at case, from the fact that the troops intended for Paita as a force of observation on the Ecuadorian froatier have been di- verted to the south, and General San Roman, Minister of War, bas gone towards Cazco to look into matters, and probably to take command of the government forzes bgaingt the reyolntionists.

As tho “leads”? are all found on the hills, many of the miners are constructing trenches tocarry water to them instead ef buriding their sluices in the ravines, and carrying the Girt thither in wagons or sacks.

Others, not finding gold the third day, or disliking the work becessary w obtaining it, leave the mines in dta- gust, after avery short trial, declaring there is no gold here in payiog quantities. It should be remembered that the diecoveries made thus far are the result.of but five weeks’ labor, In nearly every instance the gold is estimated by the miners as worth $20 per ounce, which, for gold collected by quicksilver, is certaialy @ high valdation, thowgh this is undoubtedly of very grest purity, The reader can re- duce the estimate if he sees fit, We hayeno data on which to act in the premises. . The wal rock is generally shattered, £0 that it, lke the vein stone, is readily taken out with the pick and shovel. 7 ha Instance only did we hear of wall rock too hard for this, Of the vein stone probably not moro thin one-half is decomposed so that the gold can be washed from it, Tne re- sicue of the quartz is ehovelled out of the slaices and re- served to be crushed and washed thereafier. ‘The miners estimate this equally rich with that which hus ‘rotted’? so tnat the gold may be washed from it; bence, that they realize, as yet but haif the gold aug by ein ‘This seems probable, but its truth remuing to ba sted. It ehould be borne in mind that, while the minors hera now labor under many obvious digadvantag must disappear with the growth of their experience and the improvement of their now rudo machinery, they at the same time enjoy advantages which cannot be retained. indefinitely nor rendered universal. ‘They are all work- ing very near a small mountain stream, which affords them an excellent supply of water for washing ata very cheap rate; and, though such streams are very common here, the leada stretch over rugged hills and considerable mountains, down which the vein atone must be carried to water at considerable cost.
