The steamer North America, Capt. J. . i. Blethen, Vanderbilt's line, arrived San Francisco at 6 o'clock Friday morning, with 365 passengers, and dates from Boston and New York to the 22d of Oct via San Juan del Sud. This is nine days later news. We learn from the .d/ta, from whose summary we largely extract, that three deaths occurred among her passengers. She brings no mails or intelligence of them. Gen. Foote of Mississippi, has resigned his seat in the United States Senate, to take effect on the 8th of January next An Address from Kossuth to the peole of the United States, has been pubished. It reviews the questions at is sue in 1848-9, between the Hungarians and the House of Hapsburg, and appears to indicate a design to engage in further revolutionary measures against Austria at the first favorable opportunity. It was written at Broussa some eighteen months since. By the latest advices from Europe, it appears that Kossuth had determined to spend a short time in “gland before visiting the United Statee He was exected to arrive at New York therefore, in about # month. Father Matthew, the great Irish Apostle of Temperance was still in New York. Ho has administered the pledge to 500,000 persons in the United States, aad during his brief stay in New It is said that P. T. Barnum, the celTemperance and Democratic candidate for Governor of Connecticut. In that case he is sure to be elected. The German revolutionist, Dr. Kinkel, who is in the Atlantic states to raise funds for political agitation in Germany, is succeeding to a considerable extent, principally among the German citizens and residents. He hasheld meetings in several cities, and we understand has already raised $20,000. He proposes to raise $2,000,000. The recent election in South CaroJina for representatives to the proposed Southern Congress, for the adoption of measures for the division of the Union, has resulted to the surprise and gratification of all true friends of the country, in the complete defeat of the secessionists. Only two of that party have been elected—the ‘co-operationists” literally sweeping the state. As all the other states of the south have decided in fayor of the Union, and as South Carolina has thus decided not to accede without “co-operation,” this is regarded as a Union triumph. Jenny Lind was singing at Toronto, Cavada. She has been received with the greatest demonstration of enthusiasm. The tickets for her concert were all disposed of at auction, in an hour and a half from the beginning of the sale. The examination of the parties ar-. rested for being engaged in the late . rescue of a fugitive slave, at Syra-. cuse, N. Y., has been coneluded, and five whites and three blacks have been held for trial. not on the charge of treason, but of misdemeanor, in violating the Fugitive Slave Law. The bail for the whites has been fixed at $2,000 each, and for the blacks at $500. It is expected that more arrests will be made. In Pennsylvania, the Democrats have carried the State in most splendid style. The returns are not all in, but as near as can be ascertained Bigler’s majority in the State, for Governor, is about 8500. . The rege of Judge Coulter ( Whig ) over Judge Campbell (Dem) for tho Sureme Court, is about 6000. The other ‘our Democratic judges are elected by over 5000 majority. The Democrats of Ohio have swept tho State like an avalanche. The majority over Vinton, the Whig candidate for Governor, is about 20,000. This will ho very near the Democratic majority tor the whole ticket. Llie following ave the names of the Democrats believed to be elected: Governor, Reuben Wood; Lieut. Governor, William Medill; Auditor, William D. Morgan; Treasurer, John G. Breslin; Secretary, William Trevitt ; Attorney General, Henry Stan~ bery ; Board of Public Works, Alexander P. Miller, for 3 years, George W. Maypenny, for 2 years, James B. Steedman, for 1 year; Supreme Judges, Wm. B. Caldwell, Rufus P. Raney, John A. Corwin, Thos. W. Bartley, and Allen G. Thurman. Tt wasramored in New York city, on the 22d ult. that the Spanish officers who captured Lopez, had been assuassinated in Havana, A fire occurred in Galena on the 16th Oct. Property to the amount of $16,000 was destroyed. The New York Herald says of the revolution in Northern Mexico, that it is progressing at a rapid rate. ‘‘ Matamoras was the point threatened at the last aceounts. ‘hia insurrection, or reolution, is assuming a very important shape. The government of Mexico is incapable of resisting it, being without money, and without credit. However, it is believed that Wild Cat, the celebrated Seminole chief, has been prevailed upon to march againet the revolthers. There is nothing in the way night, four miles above McCourtney’s.

Worthy of general imitation, up ba, and who were supposed to be connected with the Lopez expedition,have been tried as pirates, but their sentence is not yet made public. It is said that in consequence of the strong and urgent representations made by the Spanish Minister at Washington, to the Captain General of Cuba, the latter was induced to grant quarter to the prisoners, who have been sent to Spain, and also that he may, at the solicitation of the British Consul General, liberate those now confined in the hospital at Mavana, with wounds. Revision or Curisrmas.—We learn from our accurate cotemporary the 77rancriptin its publication of the “Act to lesignate Holidays, ete,” that Christmas falls on the twenty-first of December.

Each of these are supposed on an ave. rage to carry 3200 pounds, making 1,741Js, or 871 tons and 1600 pounds ' This at 5 cents per pound amounts to eighty seven thousand and eighty dol‘lars. From one of the proprietors of . the Beatty House, we learn that the . number of passengers going through . this place is not less than 350 per week, . which at ten dollars each will amount ‘to three thousand five hundred dollars. . This, with the travel not estimated will . exceed one hundred thousand do lars . per week. which amounts to five mil. tion two hundred thousand dollars per ‘annum.

THANKSGIVING. —At the American Hotel and Hotel de France, by invitation of the spirited host, Mr. Field, with a select company of twenty, we sat down toa social repast on Thanksgiving Day. The table groaned beneath the weight of all the luxuries of a California market—the wines were of the best flavor, and song and sentiment, patriotic and secial, gave wings tothe hours. After the substantials had received due justice from the guests, the worthy mayor of the city was called to the chair, and opened the intellectual feast by some appropriate remarks, He was followed in quick succession by other speakers. “Our forefathers,” “Our friends at home,” hope of the world, may they extend,” . “The press,” etc., were toasted with much fervor. “The Star spangled Banner,” “America,” the “Marsellaise,” and “Girondin,” were sung with much taste by persons present.

The steamer North America, Capt. J. . i. Blethen, Vanderbilt's line, arrived San Francisco at 6 o'clock Friday morning, with 365 passengers, and dates from Boston and New York to the 22d of Oct via San Juan del Sud. This is nine days later news. We learn from the .d/ta, from whose summary we largely extract, that three deaths occurred among her passengers. She brings no mails or intelligence of them. Gen. Foote of Mississippi, has resigned his seat in the United States Senate, to take effect on the 8th of January next An Address from Kossuth to the peole of the United States, has been pubished. It reviews the questions at is sue in 1848-9, between the Hungarians and the House of Hapsburg, and appears to indicate a design to engage in further revolutionary measures against Austria at the first favorable opportunity. It was written at Broussa some eighteen months since. By the latest advices from Europe, it appears that Kossuth had determined to spend a short time in “gland before visiting the United Statee He was exected to arrive at New York therefore, in about # month.

The German revolutionist, Dr. Kinkel, who is in the Atlantic states to raise funds for political agitation in Germany, is succeeding to a considerable extent, principally among the German citizens and residents. He hasheld meetings in several cities, and we understand has already raised $20,000. He proposes to raise $2,000,000. The recent election in South CaroJina for representatives to the proposed Southern Congress, for the adoption of measures for the division of the Union, has resulted to the surprise and gratification of all true friends of the country, in the complete defeat of the secessionists. Only two of that party have been elected—the ‘co-operationists” literally sweeping the state. As all the other states of the south have decided in fayor of the Union, and as South Carolina has thus decided not to accede without “co-operation,” this is regarded as a Union triumph. Jenny Lind was singing at Toronto, Cavada. She has been received with the greatest demonstration of enthusiasm.
