There we be present on the part of the Chinese, the Governor Gener S h1 Seti, the Lieutenant-Governor, with Tuns digger, though few work over a month at a time, as the fatigue is very great. Prom July to October, one-half of the gold hunters have been afflicted either with the ague and fever, or the intermittent fever, and twenty days' absence from the placer during those months is necessary to escape these diseases. There have not, however, been many fatal cases. The gold is$ npw sold, from the smallest imagi nable price in size to pieces of one pound in weight, $16 per troy ounceTor all the purposes of commerce i but those who are under the necessity of raising coin to pay duties tq the Government are obliged to accept from 810 to. 811 per ounce. All the coin in California is likely to be lock ed up in the custom house, as the last ta riff of our Congress is in! force here in re gard to the receipt of money. Could you know the value of the Cal ifornia placer as I knojw it. you would think you had been instrumental in ob taining a most splendid purchase for our country, to put no other construction on the lute'trenty. " The placer 'is known to be two or three hundred mi long ; find ns discov eries are constantly being made, it may prove 1,000 miles in length in fact it is not counting the intermediate miles yet unexplored.

DEANTRIDEAUX, 17l ACCIDENT TO THE HON. HENRY CLAY. We regret to learn, by the following despatch to the Baltimore Patriot, that j a serious accident has befallen the Hon. Henry Clay. New Orleans, Jan. 24. P. M. Henry Clay, while walking out yester day, accidentally slipped and fell; his head striking the pavement, producing quite a painful concussion.. The venera ble patriot was soon surrounded by friends who quickly pjtrked him up and convey, ed him to his residence. He suffered con siderable for some time, but I am glad to inform you that, at last accounts, he was fast recovering, and is not considered dan gerously injured. His health otherwise is very fine. , During the past week there were in this city only 130 deaths in all, of which but thirty were of cholera. Business of the Patent Office. Messrs.
