$16 per ounce, that sum will weigh 3,125,010
ounces.
Gold at the U. States mint is worth $18 per
ounce, making a difference in value on that
quantity,between San Francisco and N. York,
of $6,250,000, which would be saved to the
miners by the establishment of a mint.
I have also suggested its importance as a
means of promoting and increasing our trade
with the west coastof Mexico and South Amer-
ica.
It is not doubted that the construction of a
railway across the Isthmus of Panama, and
perhaps by the establishment of other lines of
communication between the two oceans, will
jive to the products and manufactures of the
ifcder States of the Union command of the mar-
ket of California, to the exclusion, in a great
degree, of those of the west coast.
A mint wall therefore become of the utmost
importance to give such marketable value to
silver bullion as to enable the merchants of'
those countries to keep up and increase their
intercourse with our principal ports on the Pa-
cific.
The silver bullion shipped to Europe from
the west coast of Mexico, amounts to more
than, ten millions of dollars per annum. From
the countries on the west coastof South Amer-
ica, probably an equal quantity. That from
Mexico goes to pay for European importations
into her ports on the Atlantic side.
A market at San Francisco for this bullion
will be the means of substituting American
and Chinese fabrics for those of European
manufacture in all those countries. This will
greatly increase the trade between China and
California.

vorable account of the market, middling Orleans
being quoted at 12{c. After the arrival of the
-teamerat Halifax, announcing the upward ten-
dency of Cotton, it advanced, and on the 22d inst.
quotations were §c. higher than three days previ-
ous.
Coffee has declined in New York.

newest style of goods as soon as they are offered

Their stock is now too numerous to particular-
ize, among which can be found every variety of

c' X.,” of the Baltimore Sun, speaking of the
Foote and Benton difficulty, says: “ The whole
matter is to be investigarad by a committee —
Mr. Clay proposed that both should be bound
over to keep the peace, which no doubt is the
best thing that can be done in the premises, to
which Benton replied that'he would rather rot
in prison. 1 have no doubt that if Benton and
Foote were confined in jail, or, if he insist upon
it, Mr. Benton alone, the whole slavery ques-
tion would be settled without any difficulty.
Puffing for a Premium.—The Emperor
wished to illuminate the Alexander column in
a grand style ; the size of the round lamps was
indicated, and the glasses bespoken at the man-
ufactory, where the workmen exerted them-
selves in vain, and almost blew the breath out
of their bodies in the endeavor to obtain the
desired magnitude. The commission must be
executed, that was self-evident, but how ? A
great premium was offered to whoever should
solve this problem. Again the human bellows
toiled and puffed ; their object seemed unat-
tainable ; when at last, a long bearded Rus-
sian stepped forward and declared that he would
do it; he had strong and sound lungs; he
would only rinse his mouth first with a little
cold water to refresh them. He applied his
mouth to the pipe and pulled to such purpose
that the vitreous ball swelled and swelled near-
ly to the required dimensions, up to it, beyond
it. “ Hold, hold,” cried the lookers on, “ you
fire doing too much; and how did you do itall?”
The matter is simple enough,” answered the
ng beard ; but first, where is my premium?”
rid when he had clutched the promised boun-
he explained. He had retained some of
aterinhis mouth, which had passed thence
he glowing ball, and there becoming steam
rendered him this good service.—Kohl’s
vels in Russia.
A Hoosier was called upon the stand, away
out West, to testify to the character of a broth-
er Hoosier. It was as follows :
“ How long have you known Bill Bush-
whack ?”
C( Ever since he war born.”
“ What is his general character ?”
£' Letter, A, No. 1—’bove par a very great
way.’
u Would you believe him on oath ?”
“ Yes, sir-ue, on or off] or any other way.”
“ W hat, in your opinion are his qualifications
to good character ?”
!‘ He’s the best shot on the prairies or in the
woods; he can shave the eye-winkers off of a
woolf as far as shootin’ iron ’ill carry a ball'—
he can drink a quart of grog any day. and he
chaws tobacker like a hoss.”
So Bill Bushwhack phssed muster.
Rudolph Oetting has been recognized as
Consul of Nassau, for the State of Texas, to
reside at Galveston.— Civilian
The sea serpent, “as long as a fiat boat,”
with an appearance like a row of barrels, has
been seen as far up the Ohio as Jeffersonville,
Kentucky. He was supposed to be on his way
to the Nashville convention, determined to
make it a monster “meeting.”

Memphis, Tenn., March, 1850. ' -
The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral
worth and professional acquirements, will com-
pare favorably with the most distinguished in our
country. The medical faculty constitutes an ano-
malj'- in this or any other country-all of them are
able lecturers and the best of teachers.
Those who will contemplate our geographical
position, and the extent of our population, can
have no doubt as to the eligibility of our situation
for an enterprise of the kind. As to health, in-
cluding all seasons of the year, we deny that any
other has more.
A common error exists in the minds of many
students relative to the place of studingy medicine';
those who intend practicing among the diseases
of the West and South should certainly educate
themselves at a school whose Faculty are prac-
tically acquainted with those diseases.
That the public may be satisfied of the perma-
nency of this school, we feel it our duty to state,
that the Trustees and Faculty form a unit in ac-
tion, which augurs well for its future success;
and that the peculiar internal organization which
connects them, cannot be interrupted.
