Anival of Steamer Dantcl Webster, eleven days taler from California. Ni.w-Yiiiik, Nov. 16,1 I P. M. The steamer Daniel WebstM arrived at her what I'here to-night at 11 o'clock. She brings lour hundred passengers, and one hundred and seventeen thousand dollars worth of gold, on freight, and ahoiil i half million dollars in the hands of passengers. IV Daniel W . lister has come via Nan Juan. --She brings I 'alilomia dates to the ifitli ol Oct. being eleven days later than what lias heretofore been received. She experienced terrible gales for several days, in wliieh her paddle boxes were carried away. She, however, weathered the storm nobly, to the praise of all on hoard. The steamer Central America, at last accounts, hail made twenty-live miles up the San Juan river. The steamer Director had capsized on the San Juan liver, anti seven persons were iinlortu nately drowned. The general nev s from California is not. very important, Business generally was dull and purchasers were holding hack lor further redue t ion in the pi ices of goods. Hour was steady . Ilricks dull. Provisions drooping. I.timber linn. Dry goods active. Seamens' wages Were low. The money maiket was variable at It a 6 per vl.iwr lunnlli. Gobi »Ll*d -I* yiuv mmou €i i.illst ii tlit* Atlantic cities per rout. A«i.culture* was in a tloiuisliiii" condition, and tin* us rung news was very favorable. New dis coveries otj'old were* daily bring made. Quart/, mining attracts great attention. The sh •amer California, from San ITancisco, took out $1,000,000 in gold dust. Two other steamers took large amounts. T he receipts into the treasury lor lines, taxes and licenses were $60,000. (’rime was increasing and many criminals were returning Irom the interior. Five of I he Port Oxford exploring expedition had been killed by Indians. The steamer Mora had been destroyed by lire, and several lives lost. The boat was a total loss. The yield of gold for Hie present year will ex ceed that of any previous one. Steam communication between San ITancisco ' and the Sandwich Islands were about being ac complished. Movements were on loot for a Railroad to Sa cramento. Ileal estate xvas active and advancing. The sloop-of-war Vincennes left San ITancis co lor a cruse southward. The Aita Californian thinks that the move ments for a division oft Ire State, amounts to hut htl le. Wells ,V Co.'s liabilities are stated at $200,000, The project of supplying San Francisco with water, seems to he killing through. The steamer Republic on her voyage from Panama struck a rock, twenty miles from San f rancisco. and tin* water rushed in so rapidly as to extinguish the tires. The passengers were resorted and the steamer subsequently gotten off. but it i loared she is seriously damaged. I dlorts are on foot to revive the chamber of commerce, which had been broken up since the May lire. The papers ui tire !)th are tilled with duels, murders and outrages.and there is strong talk of reviving the \ igiiauce Committee. Major Reading, the whig candidate for Gover nor, was badly wounded by the accidental dis charge ol his pistol, while out hunting. The Methodists had started a new paper called the California Chn tian Advocate. Lynching was still practised at the mines. The Mormons have purchased Rancho del Sail Bernandic. tor $100,060, and intend to build a large city there, to connect the great Salt Lake city with it by railroad, and secure a port hr Sau Diago for their maritine intercouse with the world. News from Southern California was of the ut most importance. The Southern counties are coming out strongly lor a Convention to divide the State. Santa Barbara is the placed fixed on for holding it The various counties were en gaged in selecting delegates. An address will be prepared lor circulation, and a petition pre sented to the Legislature at an early day tit fa vor of division. -News front the mines, at Carson's valley, are very discouraging. A company of 60 were ta king Inn two ounces daily. .Miners at the Mid dle Fork were doing exceeding well. Several new discoveries had been made at Cold Spring. The Calaino damming company had proved a failure. The steamer North America had arrivedJiotn Panama in 13 days, being the quickest trip on record. I'ire rainy season was about commencing.— Financial atiairs in California was highly llat t-ring. A letter Irom San Francisco says the miners ate yielding g uo d returns, and tire miners are daily increasing in numbers, and confidently an tic i pates a larger yield of gold than upon any pre vious season. The eommencment of another year, it is believed will find our obligations much reduced, and a large proportion ol the receipt of the mines will remain invested with us Aluch more confidence being felt, city and Mate securities have improved. Our city has recovered in a great measure from I -1 the disastrous fires, and merchants are on their 1 feet with renewed vigor. Many foreign houses have Ireen perrnanenty established here, anil a large amount of capital is seeking investment. The California Courier says, a gentleman call ed on us yesterday, and exhibited a letter from a i friend at the mines, dated Sandy Bar. or Yankee j Slide, giving glowing accounts of the success of the miners in that region; some $30,000 per week was being taken Irom the Slide, and it was not uncommon for a claim of 15 feet to yield SI,OOO to $2,500 per day. From every legion is heard the most cheering accounts. The Marysville Herald thinks tire possibility of navigating the Feather and Yuba rivers is no longer problematical. ’The I'd Dorado News is ottered for sale, the proprietors desiring to return to the States. The rapid run of the Baltic had excited great rejoicing. From Oitn.ON.— Advices from Oregon bring intelligence ol the conclusion of important trea ties with the Indians. | A v a’,;able gold mine and a mine of anthracite , coal hail been discovered on the Charles river. I four miles from Astoria. Gen. Gaines had left on a visit to San Franeis : co. S.v.xuwieii Isi.amis.—Sandw ich Island news is unimportant. The Polynesian is occupied with lengthy papers from the agricultural society of the island. Mount Manaloo. which had been closed lor a long time, was belching forth liquid lava. The Island of Koolalame had been burnt throughout its whole length, the shrubbery hav ing lieen accidentally lired by some fishermen. It is uninhabited except by a few convicts. Facm China.—Advices from China to August ; .'d states that the rebillion in the Kwanghi still | continues with unabated fury. The great Chinese | diplomatist and minister, Lin, had been degrad j ed three steps because the rebellion had broken ; out in In's provinces. The Kwanghi rebels are extending their line |of operations northward. 'The Imperial govern i inent will have great difficulty in putting them down. Later from Mexico. We are in receipt of our files of Mexican jonr j mils from the capital to the 25th October. The intelligence in the .Mexican capital, re lative to the revolution, thus far so successfully prosecuted by Carvajal in tiie State of Taniauli pas, is not so recent as that received in this city. Passengers by the Tchamitopeo. w hich arrived here on Wednesday from Vera Cruz, state that it was reported at that place that Malaniorus had fallen into the hands of the patriot forces. Our last direct advices from that place represented the opposing troops us having been engaged in constant skirmishing, in the streets of the city, •‘or several days. The Trait if Union, of the city of Mexico, ul- I 's to the orders for the marshaling of troops to march against the insurgents , hut it looks as though they would arrive a day after the lair. A correspondent of the 'Trait suggests that (lie j American proprietors of the Tehauntepee route | should coneentiate their etiorts in constructing a railroad IT on i Acapulco to Vera Cruz. He csti j mates the time from San Francisco to New (>r j leans, via Acapulco and Vera Cruz, at twenty j one days; that three thousand passengers per I monlli would travel the route, besides the transit I of gold dust, packages, expresses, \r.

Here the wife buried her face in her hanker chid, and commenced sobbing aloud, when the husband eagerly caught up the letter and com menced reading tlit* epistle that had been the means nearly breaking iiis wife's heart. It was a bill Irom a printer for nine years’ sabseription. I Merchants Ledger. Ahvam i. in Whai.kbonk.—TheNew Bedford Mercury says that there were sales in that city on 1 uesduv ol Lion barrels ol sperm oil at 12-3 cents per gallon; and 28,060 pounds w halebone at 1 3 cents per pound. The latter is an advance *’* l” cents per pound since the recent lisastrous tiding from the Arctic licet. Jnr luti'ii ( o.uixti at Last.—Our Govern ment now has certain information, says the Bal timore Sun. showing that the bodies of the pris oners who were shot at Havana were also muti lated by the populace- Commodore Parker scuds a copy of t tie examination of the prisoners. It is an examination rather than a trial. He sends some statements from Spanish sources, which show that the bodies were mutilated. Boston-, Nov. 14. A largo and enthusiastic meeting was held in Portland last evening, presided over by the Mayor, in favor of the movement for appealing to the British Government lor the pardon of Smith O'Brien and the other Irish exiles. Sev eral eloquent speeches were made. Old Fashion. —lt is a curious fact worth men tioning, that among the relics of art disinterred by Layard Irom the ruins of Nineveh, may be seen various ornamental devices exactly like some ol the lashions ot our day. Among the rings and bracelets, for instance, of which Layard made accurate draw ings. may be seen patterns which look as if manufactured from the designs of London and Paris jewellers of the present day. in one of the engravings in Layard s Researches! we have a drawing of a horseman with his riding whip, the handle of which is a gazelle’s foot, ex actly like the present fashion, as it is frequently seen, in the finish of hunting whips. Verily, there is nothing new under the sun, telegraphs ! and steam-engines excepted. A LI (i LI ST A, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 21. | THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE STATE. DC?" We received no papers from Charleston by last evening's mail. We understand t>vo freight trains met on the road, on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning, below Branch* ville, and that the engineer, Morris, and one ol I the firemen, were seriously injured. An ac cident also occurred on the Columbia Branch, in the vicinity ol Col. Hampton's plantation. 11l passing through the brick culvert, the Bag gage master, Charles Milligan, was on the top of the Cars, and was thrown off—falling on the rail, both legs were cut off aliove the ankle. The Georgia Railroad Cars, which left last evening about half-jiast five o'clock, ran oil' the track about a mile from the city. No one hurt. Several of the passengers returned to town last evening. Si.Ri'RisiNi; riii: I crks. —The Boston bark Stamlioul, on the Ist of October, arrived at AI- J exandria. Egypt, w ith a cargo of Massachusetts ; ice, the first ever brought to Egypt from any part of the world, "All Alexandria and the region round about, says a letter from the captain of ( the Staruboul, " flocked on board and around her I t<> see the ‘ frozen water.’ The Pacha, the High ' Admiral, and all the distinguished officers of the Government, visited the hark, and irisjiected her 'cargo: and alter these, people oi all degrees, j She was literally crowded while a block of ice | remained in her." The entire cargo was pur chased by the Government, and was all dis- I charged and stored ashore in Is Hours after the | vessel's arrival. Atlanta ani> Lauuanur Railroad.—The j Atlanta Republican says: "We have received the Kejiortof the President and chief Engineer of this road which is indeed an interseting docu ment. 11 shows f bat the road had already yield led a profit of more than $7.00u. When this I road shall have been finished, it w ill yield a handsome percentage on the capital invested. It ! is gratifying to know that all our Railroad enter prizes prove to lie successful. They must, they wiß be the means of greatly improving the country, in many respects. The Albany Argus says "We saw- yesterday aSlianghae (if we have not spelt the name right call it Malay) chicken, four months old, weigli ! ing nine pounds, and standing two feet six inches high. It. with three pullets, of proportinnafc size, belonged to Mr. G. E. Rice, corner ol Broadway and Perry streets. This is a little ahead of aught in the rhieken line we have ever met with.

Miss Catharine Hayes, it appears, when she came to the United States, was employed by Mr. Beale, a music publisher of London, at $30,000 a year; subject to a forfeit ol I A,OOO, in case the contract was broken. Mr. Warded, of New York, contracted w ith Mr. Beale, on her leaving London, for her services lor one year in the United States, at SOO,OOO. Miss Hayes, having become dissatisfied with the arrangement, a lew days ago, informed Mr. Beale's agent in New York, that she would break the contract, pay the Slr>,ooo forfeit, and hereafter give her con certs on her own account. They will be re sumed in New York in a few days. Larok Salk of Real Estate.— The Charles ton Standard says : " One of the largest sales ol Real l-.state. which has taken place in our city, for many years past, is that of the late Mordecai Cohen, which wasdisjiosed of at auction yester day morning. 17th inst.. by Louis D. DeSaussure. and realized 5156,000. It was bought by differ ent purchasers." Commerce of the United States.— The Journal ol Commerce reports, from information derived from a reliable source, that the imports into the l nited States tor the fiscal year ending June 30, 1 S3l, were $2 10,000.000, and the ex ports from the country for tho same period were $188.000,000 —showing an excess of imports over exports of $22,000,000. The exports as stated, we presume, include those of specie, of which, from the port ol New-York alone, more than thirty-live millions have gone forward since January last to this date. Li ne-of-Battle Ships. —The Boston Courier | says that there are now at the Navy Yard in that harbor three great ships of the-line—the Ohio, the \ ermont and the \ irgina. Each one of them may be said to be remarkable for its model, its size and accommodations, the excellence of the maferials ol which it is composed, its strength and fitness for sea and battle. They are called 7 l's, but are capable of carrying one hundred and ten guns each, together with a complement of one thousand men, and all the provisions, stores and I munitions, for a three year's cruise, not omitting twenty tons of powder for each vessel. American \\ ine —The cultivation ofthe grape j is carried on extensively in the neighborhood of Cincinnati, and it is supposed that not less than one thousand acres are devoted to this purpose. A correspondent ofthe Newark Daily Adver tiser states that in one wine cellar which he vis ited in Cincinnati, he saw 75,000 bottles of spark ling Catawba, and about 40,000 gallons of wine in casks, varying trom 40 to 5,000 gallons in each. Regatta of all Nations. The soreness of defeat still shows itself in the members of the nautical profession in England, in consequence of the American triumphs in the recent Yacht race. The idea of superiority in any form or degree on the element which has been the great theatre of British eminence, is not to endured. Pre-eminent has been the only word admitted in the English naval vo cabulary, whilst measuring the relative merits of building, navigating or righting ships. This term has lost its spell, which kept other nations from the field of competition, and silently resign ed the superiority to one. The latest propo sition to test the relative merits of different coun tries has been made by- proposing a grand Re gatta of all nations which as the great Exhibi tion brought all the industrial capacities of countries into rivalry, so a Regatta, including all. will bring into competition their maritime capabilities. A British officer proposes this scheme in the following terms: "In England, the greatest naval power the world ever knew, to allow herself beaten in her own element? Our security, perhaps our very existence as a free nation, depends upon our naval superiority. Our pre-eminence as a com mereial people will in future depend greatly upon the speed of our ships. Let us then chal lange the whole world to complete with us in naval architecture at a grand regatta of all na tions—comprehending men-of-war, merchant ships, and yachts—in like manner as we have done this year in arts, sciences, and manufac tures. Let the different kinds of vessels be classed, and let every vessel which enters for the competition pay a certain sum of money to wards a grand vase for the winning nation (hav ing an appropriate inscription) as a national trophy to lie placed in its academy of arts. Os course there might lie, in addition, other prizes, honorary or otherwise, for each class. I will venture to say that such a grand regatta of all nations would do more to improve shipbuilding in one year, than it has been improved, compara tively, lor the last hundred years.'’ (From our Correspmulent.) Milledgevili.e, Nov. 18, 1831. HOUSE or REPRESENTATIVES. The House took up the special order of the day, being the bill introduced by Mr. Milledge for appropriating SBOOO for rejiairing and fur nishing Executive Mansion.

Racers in Alabama. — The East Alabamian estimates that there are fifty-three newspapers published in the State of Alabama, averaging one to each county and one to spare, although there are no papers published in several of the counties. Forty-six are published weekly, two daily aruljweekly.one daily and semi-weekly.one tri-weekly and weekly, and three daily, tri weekly and weekly. Twenty two are Union papers: six are tor Secession, nineteen of the others opposed to the compromise measures; three are neutral in polities, anil two are religious papers—one Baptist and one Universalist. There is also a monthly Magazine published at Mobile. C7”To Correspondents. —" Golden Rule." has been received, through the Post Office, pos tage one cent.

Presents to Kossi tu. —The Philadelphia Bulletin states that a citizen of that city has pre pared a present for Kossuth, which consists of a miniature ol Washington, from Stuart's portrait, set round with pearls. The frame of this is a gold star, and beyond tho points ot tho star pro jects a cross of St. John, in silver, neatly chased, fwo drawn swords are also represented between the limbs ot the cross, i'he whole is suspended by a gold chain. It forms an ornament about two inches square, and is a most beautiful and appropriate gift. A gentleman in New York is to present him with a magnificent time-keeper. Mr. Henry Rhode, who keeps under the Howard Hotel, is preparing a magnificent and elaborately carved meerchaum pipe for the illustrious Magyar, the first cost of which will exceed three hundred dollais. Other parties are likewise preparing presents for him. The Germans in New York are also preparing to pay him the highest honors. lira Mexican lai:if f .

Progress of American Mani i acti res The New Vork Dry Goods Reporter, after, no ticing the production of prints, after the style of high priced French gooods, observes: One alter another the manufacturers of Eu rope are obliged to retire from the field, leaving American producers to supply American con sumers. Flist we obtained the market for brown cottons, and the production of bleached goods followed as a natural consequence. YVe then at tempted prints. The victory on these goods is within our grasp already. Importer alter im portationof the British article. YVe next at tempted the casaitnere fabric, and have reduced the importation so low, that none beside those engaged in supplying tailoiscan import them to advantage, and even they dare not repeat an order. The shawl making was believed by Samutuel Lawrence, Esq., to be a business that could be profitably carried on among ourselves. The correctness of his judgment is attested by those noble structures, the Bay State Mills and those beautiful fabrics now exhibiting in the fair ul the American Institute. Last though not least, came the manufactures of de luines and cashmeres. YVe have not as yet succeeded in closing the market against the imported article, but we have succeeded in commanding a full share of the attention of purchasers, and ere another year rolls its round, the foreign producer w ill find that to maintain the volume ol his sales, he must reduce the cost of production.
