It is said there is an intention among the Arctic officers in England, to propose a national testimonial to Mr. Grinnell, for his noble conduct in fitting out, at his Fp expense, the expedition to the Arotic ocean in search of Sir John Franklin. The project will shortly be made public. A letter from Palermo states that there has been an attempt at insurrection in Sicily. The object was to coms pel the king to abdicate in favor of his son Francis. , Agricultural Resources of the Northern part of California. A correspondent of the Oregon Spectator, who has resided for two years in the vicinity of Humboldt Bay, gives a very favorable account of that region. As the author has explored much of the country, north and south, the following extract is worthy of a careful perusal :— . “Kel river is two hundred and thirty ‘miles in length, and epties into the jocean just south of Humboldt Bay, in a le li es simply because . happen to represent . pant folios of colored prints, and achoice . lat. 38 deg. 45m north. It is 300 the people in their legislative Assembly. I suppose the upplication of the same rule would require me to oppose all revenue measures that may be introduced collection of books, gathered from all civilized nations, and from international exchanges. One of the cabinets had recently been placed in the library. The frame work was of mahogony, and ards in width; and either side there are beautiful valleys, from five to eight: miles wide, of open prairie land, cov‘ered with grass such as red clover, this winter, with a view to provide for . in the maple panels, covered with glass, . white and spear grass of the best qualithe liabilities of the State, because I happen to hold some $4000 in State bonds! But itis not true that I hold one cent of city script, nor have I ever been interested farther than the amount of eleven dollars, and that I freely forzive them. I have acted solely with a were inserted choice bronze medals commemorative of great events. Mr. Jefferson’s library, embracing about seven thousand volumes, was purchased in 1815, for twenty three thousand dollars. and this, we believe, formed the nucleus of the fifty five thousand volumes which have accumulated. Congress has, for a series of years, anrvuall ity, which is green ten months in the year. In several instances. I exam~ ined trees that measured from ten to . twelve feet in diameter, and occording . to the best calculation available for . the measurement of timber two hundred feet high. There is a tract ot fine prairie land, of several thousand view to relieve the city from its embar. appropriated five or six thousand dol. acres, situated between the south and rassing position, without sacrificing its faith. No one opposed more than I did, the city organization, or was more anxious for its abolition; but I cannot be brought to believe that justice would be consulted by wiping out, with a single dash of the pen, the entire debts of the city, and leave those who hold its obligations, to seek some legal remedy, or go unpaid. Having never repudiated my own debts, I cannot persuade myself that a city ora state possesses the right to set me or any of its citizens so pernicious an example. But it is urged that speculators have been buying the city liabilities, and will enrich themselves at the expense of others. The same may be said of State script and bonds; and may, with equal force, be urged as a reason for the repudiation of State debts. The cases are parallel, must govern the other; unless, indeed, we abandon all rules, and act simply from selfish motives. I am here as the representative of the people of Nevada county, and the wish of my constituents is my Jaw, so far as it does not interfere with the obligations of my oath. If . have any pride or ambition, it is to see my county occupy a creditable and . honorable position in the estimation of the legislative body, that its proper influence may be felt in all matters connected with the general intersts of the State. It is expected by the people of Nevada county, that their representatives will oppose any attempt to foist a portion of the Yuba county debt upon them: and when that matter is presented, . wish my county to stand before the Legislature with clean hands, , ~land not with a character stained and tarnished by the repudiation of debts due to its own citizens. These are the considerations that influence me, and not the unworthy and mercenary motives that have been ascribed to me. If 1am wrong, and the people wish me to ask the Assembly to violate the plighted faith of my own city, I wish them to instruet me so at once, and I will obey, or give place to another more pliant to their wishes. I desire to do nothing in contravention of the views of any portion of my constituents, and nothing would gratify me more than to meet their approbation in all my acts, and I hope to be able to convince them before the close of this session, that [ have tried, at least, to represent them faiththeir eredit, I have done nothing to their — . dishonor. Have the goodness to see me set right before the people in this matter, and let them not think #0 unI was at liberty to consult an old animosity against the city organization, . would seek to cancel every dollar of its debts; but governed by what I concieve to be just and in accordance with the wishes of the great majority, I must in. sist upon the city, meeting all its enements. sapere E.

If . lars for the purchase of books and papers, and it is estimated these have cost the government, in addition to the Jefferson purchase, abont two hundred theusand dollars. It is reported that the number of volumes destroyed is thirty five thousand, some of which cannot be replaced. The news from Mexico is of considerable interest. The revolutionists, under Caravajal, had attacked and taken the town of Ceralvo, after two days hard fighting. The revolutionists had ten kiiled, while the Mexican loss was very great—including nearly all the Seminole Indians and theirlcader. The last accounts say that Caravajal was about to march on Monterey. t British shipa of war are. lying.before . Vera Cruz, and it is said the port will . be blockaded to enforce the payment of . the Mexican bonds. Senators Foote and Houston have had . some severe sparring in the Senate chamber. A duel war anticipated. The Legislature of Kentucky were to elect a Senator, in place of Mr. Clay, on the 26th Dec. A correspondence has passed between the Secretary of State and the Spanish . Minister, who transmitted to Mr. Web‘ster a letter from the Captain General of Cuba, in which he says that Mr. Thrasher was regularly tried by the . military tribunal, and that all the forms . of a military commission were scrupu. lously observed. Ex-Consul Owen has arrived at Charleston. He was relieved from his official ; duty on the 12th Dec., by Judge Sharkey, the newly appointed Consul. the cholera is sweeping off the inhabit. ants of the Island of Jamaica with flight. ful rapidity. . Kossuth has left New York for Philadelphia, and thence to Washington. A destructive fire has occurred at Charleston, 8S. C.; loss $25,000. The resolution appointing a commits tee of the House of Representatives to wait on Kossuth failed in that body, under the rule requiring a two thirds vote. . A letter writer at Washington, says that all the representatives of monarchies in that city, will demand their passports and leave as soon as Kossuth was received. The Baltic arrived in New York on . the 23d Dec., with dates from Paris to the 9th. The army continues faithful to Louis . Napoleon, and the people were taken so much by surprise that they had not . time to make a determined resistence. It is reported that Prince de Joinville and Duke D’Aumale, have gone to Belgium to raise the standard of revolt against Louis Napoleon. This news was telegraphed to Liverpool just previous to the sailing of the Baltic. At the latest date Paris was reported, tranquil. We notice the death of Marshal Soult in his 82d year. . . According to dispatch from Boston, . of Humboldt Bay and Eel river, of the best quality, well watered, and 4 plenty of excellent timber, with a mill site close at hand, ‘This land is all vacant, except one section Last season a settlement was ccmmenced on Fel river of several respectable families, and about one hundred respectablebachelors. They raised Irish pota~ toes, which weighed five pounds, cabbages which measured 18 inches in diameter, beets that weighed ten pounds, and a variety of other vegetables of, the same uncommon growth. There is also an extent of several thousand acres of fine prairie’ land, situated between Blue and Eerl rivers. There is some excellent prairie land on Mad river, which empties into the ocean just north of Humboldt Bay. The valleys are not so extensive as those on Eel or Blue rivers. There are some beautiful claims of prairie land on the Bay. From what I have seen and known of the extent of tillable land, I believe several thousand claims of land can be located here, of the best quality, this side of the Rocky Mountains. From the Bay north as far as Klamath river, a distance of seventy miles, there is a narrow belt of prairie land, immediately on the coast between the ocean and a dense forest of red wood timber ; the quality of this land is not as good as that on the rivers. It is like most of the lands on the coast, covered with a heavy growth of brush which would render it difficult to cultivate, and such land is inclined to be moist. The extent of this country, including the section between Klamath riv+ er on the north, and Blue river on the south, and the coast range ef mountains on the east, includes an area of surface of five thousand and five hundred square miles. I think one-sixth . of this is open prairie land, the balance is covered with a dense forest of’ tim. ber. ‘This country is extensive enough \if properly cultivated, to produce a . great commerce. It is a great com. merce—stock canrun here the year round without the least attention. This . red wood makes excellent lumber, and _ it is easily made, it being in great a. bundance. . ‘There is one steam saw mill at the bay in full operation, and I axpect, to see others soon built. Pack trails haye been opened to different points in the mines, a distance of one hundred miles or more; also a trail from the Bay to Sonoma valley, a distance of two hundred and fifty miles. Humboldt Bay is the only safe harbor, except San Francisco, on the northern coast, of which I have any knowledge. It is from three to five miles in width and twenty in length, with an entrance three-fourths of a mile wide. It is difficult to estimate the exact number of inhabitants on the Bay, oa the account of the amount of travel passing through to the mines. The population of Humboldt Bay, and surrounding country does not exceed four hun-~ dred people, yet lam not disposed to despise the day of small things, for I am firm in the belief that there wil! be a large population here in a short time. *

A correspondent of the Oregon Spectator, who has resided for two years in the vicinity of Humboldt Bay, gives a very favorable account of that region. As the author has explored much of the country, north and south, the following extract is worthy of a careful perusal :— . “Kel river is two hundred and thirty ‘miles in length, and epties into the jocean just south of Humboldt Bay, in a le li es simply because . happen to represent . pant folios of colored prints, and achoice . lat. 38 deg. 45m north. It is 300 the people in their legislative Assembly. I suppose the upplication of the same rule would require me to oppose all revenue measures that may be introduced collection of books, gathered from all civilized nations, and from international exchanges. One of the cabinets had recently been placed in the library. The frame work was of mahogony, and ards in width; and either side there are beautiful valleys, from five to eight: miles wide, of open prairie land, cov‘ered with grass such as red clover, this winter, with a view to provide for . in the maple panels, covered with glass, . white and spear grass of the best qualithe liabilities of the State, because I happen to hold some $4000 in State bonds! But itis not true that I hold one cent of city script, nor have I ever been interested farther than the amount of eleven dollars, and that I freely forzive them. I have acted solely with a were inserted choice bronze medals commemorative of great events. Mr. Jefferson’s library, embracing about seven thousand volumes, was purchased in 1815, for twenty three thousand dollars. and this, we believe, formed the nucleus of the fifty five thousand volumes which have accumulated. Congress has, for a series of years, anrvuall ity, which is green ten months in the year. In several instances. I exam~ ined trees that measured from ten to . twelve feet in diameter, and occording . to the best calculation available for . the measurement of timber two hundred feet high. There is a tract ot fine prairie land, of several thousand view to relieve the city from its embar. appropriated five or six thousand dol. acres, situated between the south and rassing position, without sacrificing its faith. No one opposed more than I did, the city organization, or was more anxious for its abolition; but I cannot be brought to believe that justice would be consulted by wiping out, with a single dash of the pen, the entire debts of the city, and leave those who hold its obligations, to seek some legal remedy, or go unpaid. Having never repudiated my own debts, I cannot persuade myself that a city ora state possesses the right to set me or any of its citizens so pernicious an example. But it is urged that speculators have been buying the city liabilities, and will enrich themselves at the expense of others. The same may be said of State script and bonds; and may, with equal force, be urged as a reason for the repudiation of State debts. The cases are parallel, must govern the other; unless, indeed, we abandon all rules, and act simply from selfish motives. I am here as the representative of the people of Nevada county, and the wish of my constituents is my Jaw, so far as it does not interfere with the obligations of my oath. If . have any pride or ambition, it is to see my county occupy a creditable and . honorable position in the estimation of the legislative body, that its proper influence may be felt in all matters connected with the general intersts of the State. It is expected by the people of Nevada county, that their representatives will oppose any attempt to foist a portion of the Yuba county debt upon them: and when that matter is presented, . wish my county to stand before the Legislature with clean hands, , ~land not with a character stained and tarnished by the repudiation of debts due to its own citizens. These are the considerations that influence me, and not the unworthy and mercenary motives that have been ascribed to me. If 1am wrong, and the people wish me to ask the Assembly to violate the plighted faith of my own city, I wish them to instruet me so at once, and I will obey, or give place to another more pliant to their wishes. I desire to do nothing in contravention of the views of any portion of my constituents, and nothing would gratify me more than to meet their approbation in all my acts, and I hope to be able to convince them before the close of this session, that [ have tried, at least, to represent them faiththeir eredit, I have done nothing to their — . dishonor. Have the goodness to see me set right before the people in this matter, and let them not think #0 unI was at liberty to consult an old animosity against the city organization, . would seek to cancel every dollar of its debts; but governed by what I concieve to be just and in accordance with the wishes of the great majority, I must in. sist upon the city, meeting all its enements. sapere E.

It is reported that the number of volumes destroyed is thirty five thousand, some of which cannot be replaced. The news from Mexico is of considerable interest. The revolutionists, under Caravajal, had attacked and taken the town of Ceralvo, after two days hard fighting. The revolutionists had ten kiiled, while the Mexican loss was very great—including nearly all the Seminole Indians and theirlcader. The last accounts say that Caravajal was about to march on Monterey. t British shipa of war are. lying.before . Vera Cruz, and it is said the port will . be blockaded to enforce the payment of . the Mexican bonds. Senators Foote and Houston have had . some severe sparring in the Senate chamber. A duel war anticipated. The Legislature of Kentucky were to elect a Senator, in place of Mr. Clay, on the 26th Dec. A correspondence has passed between the Secretary of State and the Spanish . Minister, who transmitted to Mr. Web‘ster a letter from the Captain General of Cuba, in which he says that Mr. Thrasher was regularly tried by the . military tribunal, and that all the forms . of a military commission were scrupu. lously observed. Ex-Consul Owen has arrived at Charleston. He was relieved from his official ; duty on the 12th Dec., by Judge Sharkey, the newly appointed Consul. the cholera is sweeping off the inhabit. ants of the Island of Jamaica with flight. ful rapidity. . Kossuth has left New York for Philadelphia, and thence to Washington. A destructive fire has occurred at Charleston, 8S. C.; loss $25,000. The resolution appointing a commits tee of the House of Representatives to wait on Kossuth failed in that body, under the rule requiring a two thirds vote. . A letter writer at Washington, says that all the representatives of monarchies in that city, will demand their passports and leave as soon as Kossuth was received. The Baltic arrived in New York on . the 23d Dec., with dates from Paris to the 9th. The army continues faithful to Louis . Napoleon, and the people were taken so much by surprise that they had not . time to make a determined resistence. It is reported that Prince de Joinville and Duke D’Aumale, have gone to Belgium to raise the standard of revolt against Louis Napoleon. This news was telegraphed to Liverpool just previous to the sailing of the Baltic. At the latest date Paris was reported, tranquil. We notice the death of Marshal Soult in his 82d year. . . According to dispatch from Boston, . of Humboldt Bay and Eel river, of the best quality, well watered, and 4 plenty of excellent timber, with a mill site close at hand, ‘This land is all vacant, except one section Last season a settlement was ccmmenced on Fel river of several respectable families, and about one hundred respectablebachelors. They raised Irish pota~ toes, which weighed five pounds, cabbages which measured 18 inches in diameter, beets that weighed ten pounds, and a variety of other vegetables of, the same uncommon growth. There is also an extent of several thousand acres of fine prairie’ land, situated between Blue and Eerl rivers. There is some excellent prairie land on Mad river, which empties into the ocean just north of Humboldt Bay. The valleys are not so extensive as those on Eel or Blue rivers. There are some beautiful claims of prairie land on the Bay. From what I have seen and known of the extent of tillable land, I believe several thousand claims of land can be located here, of the best quality, this side of the Rocky Mountains. From the Bay north as far as Klamath river, a distance of seventy miles, there is a narrow belt of prairie land, immediately on the coast between the ocean and a dense forest of red wood timber ; the quality of this land is not as good as that on the rivers. It is like most of the lands on the coast, covered with a heavy growth of brush which would render it difficult to cultivate, and such land is inclined to be moist. The extent of this country, including the section between Klamath riv+ er on the north, and Blue river on the south, and the coast range ef mountains on the east, includes an area of surface of five thousand and five hundred square miles. I think one-sixth . of this is open prairie land, the balance is covered with a dense forest of’ tim. ber. ‘This country is extensive enough \if properly cultivated, to produce a . great commerce. It is a great com. merce—stock canrun here the year round without the least attention. This . red wood makes excellent lumber, and _ it is easily made, it being in great a. bundance. . ‘There is one steam saw mill at the bay in full operation, and I axpect, to see others soon built. Pack trails haye been opened to different points in the mines, a distance of one hundred miles or more; also a trail from the Bay to Sonoma valley, a distance of two hundred and fifty miles. Humboldt Bay is the only safe harbor, except San Francisco, on the northern coast, of which I have any knowledge. It is from three to five miles in width and twenty in length, with an entrance three-fourths of a mile wide. It is difficult to estimate the exact number of inhabitants on the Bay, oa the account of the amount of travel passing through to the mines. The population of Humboldt Bay, and surrounding country does not exceed four hun-~ dred people, yet lam not disposed to despise the day of small things, for I am firm in the belief that there wil! be a large population here in a short time. *
