Great consternation prevailed in Wall street on account of the loss of treasure by the Central America, fears being entertained that after the crisis that had just passed the insurance offices would not be able to make good the loss, The fears were allayed by the various insurance companies’ officers publishing that all the policles would be promptly paid. About one million of the treasure was insured. We have intelligence of the loss of the bark John W. Blodgett, and the schooners Emily Mary and Abd el Kader, and also several vessels being ashore on the coast of North Carolina.

A. ary, Nevada; Dr. Ra on Sir Jonw Franxuin.—~At the Scientific Convention recently held at Montreal, Canada, Dr. Rae, the discoverer of the relics of Sir John Franklin, was introduced to the association, and exhibited the portion of the relies still in bis pcsseseion, such as watch cases and chains, and a spoon marked with Sir John’s crest. These relics were obtained from the Esquimaux, who gave him positive information concerning the party. He said he had not the least hope that any of Dr. Franklin’s party yet survived—no more than of those who perished in the steamer Arctic; because, in the locality where they were known to be, it is almost impossible to find food of any kind, and even experienced hunters could nethave survived. Dr. Rae believer that, after wintering the first year at Beechy Island, Sir John Franklin attempted to carry out his pie by crossing Peale’s Seund and reaching Behering’s Straits. His party was seen coming down Peale’s Sound at a place near King William’s Land. Dr. Rae thinke they must have perished from hunger and scurvy.

Taste Mouxtaty.—Accounts which occasionally reach us from the famous Table Mountain, ju Tuolumne county, indicate that the minio querations carried on there, which, it is well are among the heaviest ever undertaken in the Btate, are being prosecuted with as much vigor as when first commenced. The mountain, which is from fifty to sixty miles long. annie or three wide, will eventually be tuo throughout its whole extent. The ancient river bed, or subterranean valley, as it is sometimes designated, which lies beneath the mountain, and which is reached only by tunnels ex’ for hundreds of fect through rolid rock, is fou rich with gold at an nt where an entrance has been effected.—[Union. Drsrressina Case or Insantry.-——A miner b the name of Asa L. Baker was robbed nearly year ago in San Francisco, by two brothers named Gondicut, who were convicted, and are It seems that hag been insane ever since his less, which amounted to several thousand dollars, night last week he was found by the wandering about the streets of San Francisco, and was taken to the police station, where he insisted that he was only a little girl, and desired to be entered as such on the police records. Re-carture or AN Escapep Coxvicr.—Sheriff Porter, of Santa Cruz county, has recently captured a Mexican named Ramirez Bulena, who effected his escape from the State Prison about a year ago. Bulena was convicted of horee stealing in Santa Cruz county, and seatenced for a term of five years. He bad Jon been known as one of the most desperate of gang of robbers who infested that part of the country. He was found at San Luis, and after his re-capture he made several attempts to escape. Awapor County,—According to the Assessor's report, Amador couuty has three grist mills, and twenty saw mills. There are twenty-three quartz mills in active operation, which erushed last year 69,000 tons of rock at an average of $14 per ton, pera a total yield in that branch of mining of $966,000. There are 527 miles of eanal and ditches completed, and 50 miles in course of construction for conveying water for the use of miners, The total valuation of property is $2,258,474. Too Loxo Away.—Mr, Philip Clark, formerly of Iowa City, returned to that place a short time ago, from California, after an absence of eight years, He left a wife, children anda valuabie farm,when he went to California. He finds, on his return, that his wife long since married again; having first secured a divorew, giving her the farm for her support, The farm has been sold, and is now in other haude, and his former wife is in some other part of the country. Iuportaxt Deciston.—Judge Barbour of the Yuba District, has decided that the law of 1857, giving the Supervisors of the several counties the right to fix the rates of toll on turnpike roads, previously established; is unconstitutional, because the law of 1853 gave companies the right to fix their own toll, and therefore, in the case before him, the law of 1857 impaired the obligation of a contract. Quartz Discovery.—Another rich quartz discovery. says the Sonora Herald, was made at Jackson’s Flat last Wednesday. Three men, whose names we have not learned, struck upon a rich vein of quartz of the above description, at adepth of only two fect from the surface. Before night they washed out five hundred dollare in three pansfull, On Thursday they took out upwards of one thousand doliars, Heavy Damaces.—In the Fourth District Court, San Francisco, October 17th.

Wuat a Mess!—The love of money makes strange associations. We perceive that O. L. Shafter and Trenor W. Park, the two blackest Black Republicans in this State, and ex-Supreme Judge Solomon Heydenfeldt, the bitterest of all rofessed abolition haters, are associated in a aw paitnership. Ornecon Treatricars.—The Chapman Family are at the Dalles, Mrs. Leedernier is entertaining the citizens of Portland with her readings. The “Mammoth Circus’ is at Salem. Prof. Vandorf is at Portiand, as are also the Sager Troupe and Risley. Ronpo iw Saasta.—The grand jury for Shasts county have refused to indict the Rondo dealers, whereby the Courier suggests, a saving has been made to the county of several thousand dollars, rondo being without the reach of any of the present gambling laws. Narrow Escare.—On Sunday night, October 18th, a bed-room at the Buckeye Hotel, in Oroville, was diecovered to be on fire, but the flames were extinguished just in time to save the building, and prevent the probable destruction of others by which it is closely hemmed in. Prosecr or A New County.—It is stated in one of the Sonora papers that a project is contemplated of a new county, to be formed ont of the northern portion of Tuolumne and the southern portion of Calaveras, Convictep.—Francieco Mefjea and Luciano Nanez have been convicted before the Court of — of Ban Joaquin county for stealing mules, American Moxuments.—The Placerville Democrat says that the American party in California will never be forgottep while such monuments of its fame as Bates and Rowe live.

About one million of the treasure was insured. We have intelligence of the loss of the bark John W. Blodgett, and the schooners Emily Mary and Abd el Kader, and also several vessels being ashore on the coast of North Carolina.

These relics were obtained from the Esquimaux, who gave him positive information concerning the party. He said he had not the least hope that any of Dr. Franklin’s party yet survived—no more than of those who perished in the steamer Arctic; because, in the locality where they were known to be, it is almost impossible to find food of any kind, and even experienced hunters could nethave survived. Dr. Rae believer that, after wintering the first year at Beechy Island, Sir John Franklin attempted to carry out his pie by crossing Peale’s Seund and reaching Behering’s Straits. His party was seen coming down Peale’s Sound at a place near King William’s Land. Dr. Rae thinke they must have perished from hunger and scurvy.

Taste Mouxtaty.—Accounts which occasionally reach us from the famous Table Mountain, ju Tuolumne county, indicate that the minio querations carried on there, which, it is well are among the heaviest ever undertaken in the Btate, are being prosecuted with as much vigor as when first commenced. The mountain, which is from fifty to sixty miles long. annie or three wide, will eventually be tuo throughout its whole extent. The ancient river bed, or subterranean valley, as it is sometimes designated, which lies beneath the mountain, and which is reached only by tunnels ex’ for hundreds of fect through rolid rock, is fou rich with gold at an nt where an entrance has been effected.—[Union.

Iuportaxt Deciston.—Judge Barbour of the Yuba District, has decided that the law of 1857, giving the Supervisors of the several counties the right to fix the rates of toll on turnpike roads, previously established; is unconstitutional, because the law of 1853 gave companies the right to fix their own toll, and therefore, in the case before him, the law of 1857 impaired the obligation of a contract. Quartz Discovery.—Another rich quartz discovery. says the Sonora Herald, was made at Jackson’s Flat last Wednesday. Three men, whose names we have not learned, struck upon a rich vein of quartz of the above description, at adepth of only two fect from the surface.

Wuat a Mess!—The love of money makes strange associations. We perceive that O. L. Shafter and Trenor W. Park, the two blackest Black Republicans in this State, and ex-Supreme Judge Solomon Heydenfeldt, the bitterest of all rofessed abolition haters, are associated in a aw paitnership. Ornecon Treatricars.—The Chapman Family are at the Dalles, Mrs. Leedernier is entertaining the citizens of Portland with her readings. The “Mammoth Circus’ is at Salem.
