Miners’ Meeting at San Juan. At a meeting of the miners of North San Juan, Junction Bluff, Sweetlands, Birchville, Cherokee and Badger Hill, held pursuant to a general call, for the purpose of taking some measures towards alleviating the pecuniary difficulties under which they have been laboring for a long while past in consequence of the high prices asked for water by the companies furnishing water to’ the various localities in the said districts. Mr. C. E. Olney was called to the Chair and R. H, Farquaher appointed Secy. which the meeting had assembled, by the Chairman, on motion of L,C. McKibbey, a committee of six, consisting of Messrs. Farquhar, Vesay, McKibbey, Foults, Bulacher and Winham were appointed by the meeting to draft resolutions expressive of its feelings upon the matters that are the subjects of our deliberations, The committee after a few minutes absence reported the following preamble and resolutions; adger Hill, Cherokee, North San Juan, Junetion Bluff, Sweetlands and Birchville, that the prices asked for water by the water companies which have been supplying the said districts are entirely disproportioned to the yield of the diggings, and preclude the possibility of the great majority of the companies realizing anything over their expenses, and believing that such a condition of affairs is injurious not only to the miners themselves, but to the prosperity of the community at large and with all defference to the ability.of the water companies, to understand their own interests best, we think also detrimental to their permanent prosperity, it is therefore Resolved, That for the purpose of making an effectual organization to carry out the objects of this meeting, an executive committee consisting of one individual from each mining company, (to. be chosen by the majority of his.company,) in each of said districts, be appointed, which committee shall! be empowered to take all necessary measures to complete such organization. Resolved, That tho appointing of the said executive committce be confided to a sub committee of six, consisting of one member from each of the said districts, who shall be instructed to require said executive committee to convene in Green’s Concert Hall, North San Juan, on Wednesday the 3d of Dec. at 1 o’clock, P.

Ist 1856, viz: Be it Resolved, That the preamble and resolutions drawn up and passed on Monday evening last, Dec. Ist, fully meet our views as to the wants and necessities of the miners in the seyeral districts represented at this meeting.

Eastin, Sec’y, z 10-2w Prerarmye ror THs Brmat.—A London paper says—The, bridal arrangements, the magnificent.trosseau of the bride, &c., in view of the approaching matriage of the princess royal of England at Berlin, attract so much attention, that hundreds are actually going from London torwitness them. There gre six rooms filled with silks, satins, ribbons, velvets, costly lace, artificial flowers, exquisite embroideries in gold and silver, bonnets, caps, gowns, body and table linen, diamonds and jewelry, shawls, mantles, and toilet’ requirements of every deseription, color and.material. Thirty persons have been . jumps, engaged, during several months, on the embroidery, and 120 needle-women have worked on the different articles.

At the revival of letters, the merchant prinées of Florence reecived the fugitive arts of Greece into their palaces, The spirit of commercial adventure produced that movement in the fifteenth century which carried Columbus to America, and Vasco di Gama around the Cape of Good Hope, The deep foundations of the modern system of international law were laid in interests and rights of commerce, and . the necessity of protecting them. Commerce sprinkled the treasures of the newly found Indies throughoutthe Western nations; it nerved the arm of civil and religious liberty in the Protestant world—it gradualy carried the colonial system of Europe to the ends of the earth, and with it the clements of future independent, civilized republican governments. But why should we dwell on the past? What is it that gives vigor to the civilization of the present day but the world-wide extension of commercial intercourse, by which all the products of the earth and of the ocean, of the soil, of the mine, of the loom, of the forge, of bounteous nature, creative art and untiring indastry, are brought by the agencies of commerce into the universal market of demand and su ply?

The mill is fitted up with all the necessary fixtures aud appurtenanees, and the machinery is driven by water power, of which there is a never failing supply. We have no doubt that this enterptive will prove highly profitable to: she ox greg: as it will certainly be very conyenent to printers and newspaper publishers, . Pe scgnive ea gine ae me ty writing from Paris, says iy discovered the secret of the many bewutiful and brilliant complexions seen in that city. Itseems that water is Considered by the French ladies as the great ‘spoiler of the skin, so that unless some untoward ‘circumstance re yi asile their faces, they are not touched with water from one week’s end to another. The owners content themselves with gentle rubbing with @ dry coarse towel, and exclude water almost entirely from: their toilette tables. bes A Whoresare Murperer.—The Satta Crnz . woattivel has information that the late Grand Jury, in session at Monterey, found five bills of indictment for murderagainust Anastacio Gargia, who is now in jail in that county; one for the murder of Isaac B. Wall, one for the murder of Thomas Williamson, one for the murder of Chas. de la Torre, one for the murder of Chas. Layton, and the fifth for the murder of an Indian; there is also an indictinent against him for the murder of Constable Hardmount, in 1854. Aytiquiry or Gunpowper.—The first Englishman who mentions Lo egnes is Roger Bacon, who about the year 1274, described it as béing then in common use all over the world for making squibs to amuse children. It is mentioned by Philostratus, 335 years before Christ; and in the code of Hindoo laws, it is referred to 4 riod coincident to the time of Moses. The military use of rockets in the armies of India reach to a period beyond record. , A Smrrtn Rore.—To ascertain the ae of mryeect is bestowed on man by a liberal Provience, or fabricated by human skill. It may clothe the hills of China with its fragrant foliage—it may glitter in the golden sands of California—it may wallow in the depths of the Arctic seas; it may ripen and whiten in the fertile beg of the sunny South; it may spring fofth om the flying shuttles of Manchester. in England, or Manchester in America—the great world magnate of commerce attracts it alike, and gathers it all up for the service of man. De TocquevILLE oN THE Frencn.—De Toequeville thus speaks of his countrymen: “Did there ever appear on the earth another . nation so fertile in contrasts, so extreme in its aets—more under the dominion of feeling, less . ruled by principle; always better or worse fhan was anticipated—now below the level of humanity, now far above; a people so unchangeable in its leading features that it may be recognized . by portraits drawn two or three thousand years . ago, and yet so fickle in its daily opinions and tastes that it becomes at last a mystery to itself, and is as much astonished as strangers at the sight of what it has done; naturally fond of home and routine, yet when once driven forth and forced to adopt new customs, ready to cary principles to any lengths and to dare anything; indocile by indisposition, but better pleased with the arbitrary and even violent rule of . a sovereign than with a free and regular government under its chief citizens; now fixed in hostility to subjection of any kind, now so passionately wedded to servitude that nations made . to serve cannot vie with it; led by a thread so . long as no word of resistance is spoken, wholly . ungovernable when the standard of revolt is . raised—thus always deceiving its masters, who . fear it too much or too little; never so free that it cannot be subjugated, never so kept down . ! that ifcannot break the yoke; qualified for . every pursuit, yet excelling in nothing but war; the most brilliant and most dangerous na. tion of Europe, and the one that is surest to inspire admiration, hatred, or terror, but never indifference,” A Case for OrnrruoLouists.—A few weeks ago, Mr. Robert Cameron, who resides on the Miama river, a few miles below Hamilton, But, the . ler county Ohio, discovered a bald eagle’s nest . ners of San Juan, Cherokee, Badger Hill, Birch. on huge sycamore tree, standing near the river . by “tall climbing,’’reached the eyrie, and made . a prize of two egys of the ‘bird of our country,’’ which were at ouce deposited under a setting hen, and in two weeks a fine, lusty eagle pick ed the shell, and made his appearance. Oue of the eggs proved a failure, and this with the eggs . of the hen were thrown away, it being considdeavor to dissuade all our fellow miners from . ered that the baryard fowl would have quite enough to attend to in the person of ,the feathered “prince imperial;’’ and the chicken and eaglet are both, we arc pleased to learn, doing as well as could be expected. The plebeiau nurse-fowl is, we are informed by Mr. Cameron apparently at times very much astonished at the eccentricities of His Royal Highness, the infant Bird of Jove, whose clear, keen, unflinching eyes, and stout, sharp, crooked beak, and . appetite for fish and flesh are slightly terrible, and beyond her appreciation, Still she attempts to relieve his wants with true motherly devotion, and in trying to induce himto take a romenade, ¢lucks at him vainly by the hour. is legs are not. serviceable, and disdaining to crawl after her, he looks with eager aspirations as hecomeshis illustrious race, skyward. He is . and’ his famil the day and night any time of the year, double the time of the sun’s rising, which gives the length of the night, and double the time of its setting, Which givos the length a day. This isa little method of “doing the thing” which few of our readers have been aware of, An Eccentric Gentieman of fortune, named Saunders, has taken a fancy to build a house in the neighborhood of London, with stone from the fortifications of Sebastopol. He has gone out in a little vessel of his own, for the purpose of obtaining them. There is no accounting for taste. RemarkaBLe Lonoevity.— A man named Church visited Staunton, Virginia, lately, with a load of corn from Pendleton. He is eightytwo years old, and his mother, aged one hundred and seven, and his father, aged one hundred and twelve, are both living. Lower Carirorsra.—‘El Clamor,” of Los Angeles, says that it is understood that an agent of the Mexican government had arrived, there for the purpose of treating with such persons as desired to emigrate to Lower California, where ‘land would be given freely. Sropenrs tn Cotieces.—The number of students in the three first colleges is: In Harvard, . 697; Yale, 604; in the University of Virginia, 540. In the latter there isan increase of 80 over the number last year, At Yale there are 57 students from the Southern States, Ir is rumored, says the San Francisco Herald, that the steamer Golden Age is to be taken from the Pacific coast. and placed on the line between New York and Havre. Tue Gitperr Moxumenr.—The San Francisco Press Club have abandoned the idea of erecting & monument to the memory of Edward Gilbert, formerly editor of the Alta California, Tux N, Y. Journal of Commerce publishes a list of forty-eight steamships now running between the United States aud Liverpool. Starvation ofa Hungarian Refugee, About twelve months ago, a Hungarian refugee came to reside in Hull, under the name of Or. Besk, and endeavored to earn @ livelihood for himself and family, by teaching languages t but after suffering the keen and protracted pangs of poverty and destitution for several mouths, he expired on Monday last. We are i given to understand the deceased’s real name . was Adolphe de Werdinsky. He was bora in March, 1803, at Werden Castle, near the town . of Galatzia. He was the only child of the late Count Adolphe de Werdinsky, who was a gene‘ral in the Polish army, anda princess at Poland who diced in childbirth. The deceased was educated at home, in the most costly manner, having classical tutors in almost all modermlanguages, and his remarkable aptitude for pedy was proved by his intimate acquiantance wit at least twelve languages, and to which he of . late trusted as a means of livelihood. The de. ceased married « woman at Southampton much younger than himself, and by this marriage he had two children, only one of whom is now alive. So resolute and undending was his spir. it of indepenpence that it was only in the last extremity that avy of his friends were made acquainted with his destitute condition, and that was done against his express command. For several weeks past we understand that deceased had been limited to a morsel of bread for their daily food, and their desolation very fond of fish, and luxuriates in rats and snakes, though he is not yet strong enough to . skin. them for himself. The quantity of skinned . ter-snakes that he consumes is queer, he being competent to dispose of almost his weight . in the article of ‘prepared snake.—Cin, Com. A Sacririce vor Patncipte.—The Journal de . Frankfort relates the following story: “A few days since a foreigner presented himself at the office of a merchant at Hamburg to receive cash for a bill of 2,000 double Louis, and . got 10,000 francs too much, He did not perthe publication of the proceedings of this meet-. made a mistake.’ ing made in the Nevada Democrat and the Ne-. {he merchant in a decided tone. ceive the mistake until he reached his hotel, when he returned to the office and mentioned the fact, The merchant looked at him, and then said, ‘It is impossible.’ The foreigner persisted, and said, ‘Your cashier has certainly That is not possible,’ replied ‘Take your money—no mistakes are ever made at my office.’ was rendered more lamentable from the fact that there was absolutely nothing in the house which could be turned into money. For weeks together we believe their scanty income was only about three shillings. Before the Doctor expired he expressed the utmost repugnance to being interred in a parish coffin; and we believe there is no fear of this, for death has done more than he was able to do while living. “The helping hand of charity is now of no avail; expaps to place the widow and child above the grinding penury of. their past life.—Fng. Paper. Wuar are Consors ?—Every one who reads the accounts of the European money markets, no doubt, desires to know what “consols” are; and here we have the thing correctly explained, we know net by whom; “They are 4 per cent. English stocks, which had their origin in act of the British Parliament The stranger then pocketed the money and left the place, when the merchant, turning ta the . book-keeper, told him to enter ¥0,000 francs to the account of profit and loss, adding that the . cashier would never hear a word of reproach . from him on the subject; that he would not al-. low any one te imagine tbat a mistake could . o¢cur in his office.” saa A Narvrat.

American says:—The whisky crop will be greatér this season than it bas been for years in this State’’ The other great Kentucky staple— hemp—will, we doubt not, be proportionately in demand, Wrscuet1, the humorist. tells a story of a dog which undertook to jump across a well in two There are a great many people just like at dog—folks who think they can Nash across a well in two jumps. They that undertake it! nevally “bring up’? down in the water. consolidating [hence the name] several seperate government stocks into one general stock, callj. ed in the act, ‘Consolidated Annuities, and commonly quoted, for brevity, as ‘consols.’— When the consolidation took place, the principal of the several funds, thus merged, amounted to £9,137,821; but, by the funding of additional and subsequent loans into this stock, it amounted on the 5th of January, 1836, to £366,768,258, Since that period only one loan has been raised. that for compensation to the West India planters, on the emancipation of the slaves -—-£20,000,000—-and w few millions have been paid off. The total at the present time, is between three bundred and seventy and three hundred and seventy-five millions. This stock, from its amount, and the immense vumber of its holders, is more sensitive to financial infiuences than any other, and is, therefore, the favorite stock for the operations of speculators and jobbers. Its dividends are semi-annually,”

Miners’ Meeting at San Juan. At a meeting of the miners of North San Juan, Junction Bluff, Sweetlands, Birchville, Cherokee and Badger Hill, held pursuant to a general call, for the purpose of taking some measures towards alleviating the pecuniary difficulties under which they have been laboring for a long while past in consequence of the high prices asked for water by the companies furnishing water to’ the various localities in the said districts. Mr. C. E. Olney was called to the Chair and R. H, Farquaher appointed Secy. which the meeting had assembled, by the Chairman, on motion of L,C. McKibbey, a committee of six, consisting of Messrs. Farquhar, Vesay, McKibbey, Foults, Bulacher and Winham were appointed by the meeting to draft resolutions expressive of its feelings upon the matters that are the subjects of our deliberations, The committee after a few minutes absence reported the following preamble and resolutions; adger Hill, Cherokee, North San Juan, Junetion Bluff, Sweetlands and Birchville, that the prices asked for water by the water companies which have been supplying the said districts are entirely disproportioned to the yield of the diggings, and preclude the possibility of the great majority of the companies realizing anything over their expenses, and believing that such a condition of affairs is injurious not only to the miners themselves, but to the prosperity of the community at large and with all defference to the ability.of the water companies, to understand their own interests best, we think also detrimental to their permanent prosperity, it is therefore Resolved, That for the purpose of making an effectual organization to carry out the objects of this meeting, an executive committee consisting of one individual from each mining company, (to. be chosen by the majority of his.company,) in each of said districts, be appointed, which committee shall! be empowered to take all necessary measures to complete such organization. Resolved, That tho appointing of the said executive committce be confided to a sub committee of six, consisting of one member from each of the said districts, who shall be instructed to require said executive committee to convene in Green’s Concert Hall, North San Juan, on Wednesday the 3d of Dec. at 1 o’clock, P.

Commerce sprinkled the treasures of the newly found Indies throughoutthe Western nations; it nerved the arm of civil and religious liberty in the Protestant world—it gradualy carried the colonial system of Europe to the ends of the earth, and with it the clements of future independent, civilized republican governments. But why should we dwell on the past? What is it that gives vigor to the civilization of the present day but the world-wide extension of commercial intercourse, by which all the products of the earth and of the ocean, of the soil, of the mine, of the loom, of the forge, of bounteous nature, creative art and untiring indastry, are brought by the agencies of commerce into the universal market of demand and su ply?

Wall, one for the murder of Thomas Williamson, one for the murder of Chas. de la Torre, one for the murder of Chas.

Aytiquiry or Gunpowper.—The first Englishman who mentions Lo egnes is Roger Bacon, who about the year 1274, described it as béing then in common use all over the world for making squibs to amuse children. It is mentioned by Philostratus, 335 years before Christ; and in the code of Hindoo laws, it is referred to 4 riod coincident to the time of Moses.

De TocquevILLE oN THE Frencn.—De Toequeville thus speaks of his countrymen: “Did there ever appear on the earth another . nation so fertile in contrasts, so extreme in its aets—more under the dominion of feeling, less . ruled by principle; always better or worse fhan was anticipated—now below the level of humanity, now far above; a people so unchangeable in its leading features that it may be recognized . by portraits drawn two or three thousand years . ago, and yet so fickle in its daily opinions and tastes that it becomes at last a mystery to itself, and is as much astonished as strangers at the sight of what it has done; naturally fond of home and routine, yet when once driven forth and forced to adopt new customs, ready to cary principles to any lengths and to dare anything; indocile by indisposition, but better pleased with the arbitrary and even violent rule of . a sovereign than with a free and regular government under its chief citizens; now fixed in hostility to subjection of any kind, now so passionately wedded to servitude that nations made . to serve cannot vie with it; led by a thread so . long as no word of resistance is spoken, wholly . ungovernable when the standard of revolt is . raised—thus always deceiving its masters, who . fear it too much or too little; never so free that it cannot be subjugated, never so kept down . ! that ifcannot break the yoke; qualified for . every pursuit, yet excelling in nothing but war; the most brilliant and most dangerous na. tion of Europe, and the one that is surest to inspire admiration, hatred, or terror, but never indifference,” A Case for OrnrruoLouists.—A few weeks ago, Mr. Robert Cameron, who resides on the Miama river, a few miles below Hamilton, But, the . ler county Ohio, discovered a bald eagle’s nest . ners of San Juan, Cherokee, Badger Hill, Birch. on huge sycamore tree, standing near the river . by “tall climbing,’’reached the eyrie, and made . a prize of two egys of the ‘bird of our country,’’ which were at ouce deposited under a setting hen, and in two weeks a fine, lusty eagle pick ed the shell, and made his appearance. Oue of the eggs proved a failure, and this with the eggs . of the hen were thrown away, it being considdeavor to dissuade all our fellow miners from . ered that the baryard fowl would have quite enough to attend to in the person of ,the feathered “prince imperial;’’ and the chicken and eaglet are both, we arc pleased to learn, doing as well as could be expected. The plebeiau nurse-fowl is, we are informed by Mr. Cameron apparently at times very much astonished at the eccentricities of His Royal Highness, the infant Bird of Jove, whose clear, keen, unflinching eyes, and stout, sharp, crooked beak, and . appetite for fish and flesh are slightly terrible, and beyond her appreciation, Still she attempts to relieve his wants with true motherly devotion, and in trying to induce himto take a romenade, ¢lucks at him vainly by the hour. is legs are not. serviceable, and disdaining to crawl after her, he looks with eager aspirations as hecomeshis illustrious race, skyward.

Starvation ofa Hungarian Refugee, About twelve months ago, a Hungarian refugee came to reside in Hull, under the name of Or. Besk, and endeavored to earn @ livelihood for himself and family, by teaching languages t but after suffering the keen and protracted pangs of poverty and destitution for several mouths, he expired on Monday last. We are i given to understand the deceased’s real name . was Adolphe de Werdinsky. He was bora in March, 1803, at Werden Castle, near the town . of Galatzia. He was the only child of the late Count Adolphe de Werdinsky, who was a gene‘ral in the Polish army, anda princess at Poland who diced in childbirth. The deceased was educated at home, in the most costly manner, having classical tutors in almost all modermlanguages, and his remarkable aptitude for pedy was proved by his intimate acquiantance wit at least twelve languages, and to which he of . late trusted as a means of livelihood. The de. ceased married « woman at Southampton much younger than himself, and by this marriage he had two children, only one of whom is now alive. So resolute and undending was his spir. it of indepenpence that it was only in the last extremity that avy of his friends were made acquainted with his destitute condition, and that was done against his express command. For several weeks past we understand that deceased had been limited to a morsel of bread for their daily food, and their desolation very fond of fish, and luxuriates in rats and snakes, though he is not yet strong enough to . skin. them for himself. The quantity of skinned . ter-snakes that he consumes is queer, he being competent to dispose of almost his weight . in the article of ‘prepared snake.—Cin, Com. A Sacririce vor Patncipte.—The Journal de .

For weeks together we believe their scanty income was only about three shillings. Before the Doctor expired he expressed the utmost repugnance to being interred in a parish coffin; and we believe there is no fear of this, for death has done more than he was able to do while living. “The helping hand of charity is now of no avail; expaps to place the widow and child above the grinding penury of. their past life.—Fng.

Wuar are Consors ?—Every one who reads the accounts of the European money markets, no doubt, desires to know what “consols” are; and here we have the thing correctly explained, we know net by whom; “They are 4 per cent.

The total at the present time, is between three bundred and seventy and three hundred and seventy-five millions. This stock, from its amount, and the immense vumber of its holders, is more sensitive to financial infiuences than any other, and is, therefore, the favorite stock for the operations of speculators and jobbers.
