The American Rail Road Journal, of the I8th (net atatoa that at least 100,000 torn of English railroad Iron hare either been received or ordered for this country within the laat twelve month, at a cost of about five millions of dollars. 1 his resort to a for eign market for this important article, la very bid policy. The Journal says, to manufacture this quan Ity of Iron, would require about 17,000 workmen and making the usual allowance of five persona as dependant upon each one, we have a total popula tion of eighty-five thouaand persona who have been directly supported by the production of this enor mous quantity of Iron. These eighty-five thouaand persons In their turn give support to a great many thousands of farmers, mechanics and professional men, who are again enabled to contribute to each other's business. We have said it is bad policy to resort to a for eign market in this case. But we suppose there is a. necessity for it, as our people are unable lo com pete with (he immense establishments and large cap itai of the English manufacturers. That all the ben efits arising from this manufacture do not enure to our own people, instead of the subjects of Great Britain, is simply owing to the repeal of the tariff of 1842 No wonder (he British House of Lords was in love with Mr. Secretary Wlkb'j Report; for in that was contained the doctrine consummated in this instsnce, of patronising foreign manufactures, sjnd creating benefits for the subjects of a foreign power, in preference to our own citizens. Five mil lions a year, for one item, is a pretty snug sum to pty for electioneering hobbies, intended to secure the "spoils" of office. SHOCKING. - The Cincinnati Chronicle tells story of black emlth named Qurlnnd, In that city, who about sight years ago placed his wife In rigid and secret confine ment In (he upper part of Ms house, where she was deprived of all comforts, while the brute of a huaband took a young girl to share his bed and board. The death of the tyrant a few days ago, brought the af fair to light, and the unhappy woman has been properly cared for. THE RICHMOND REPUBLICAN.

The power and aweetness of her voice, has not been surpassed. She realized a large fortune before she wss thirty-five, and retired to Ittiy, and has not since appeared In public. PASSION FOR OFFICE. Tho desire for holding office has become a passion with a goodly portion of our citizens. Thia posi tion has been strongly Illustrated in the late union oj the two divisions of the democratic porty. Of this coalition the New York Enquirer says : ' The whigs have a hard battle to fight this fall. The divisions in the ranks of their opponents have ceased. The " principles" involved in thorn, which seemed aa firm and aa tofty aa tho rocky Alps, havo yielded to the lCiliL BniKi,vn ymgtrmeha.

" In the year 1835, a gentleman called upon the wrtter of thla article and aaked him to draw a deed of conveyance for two lota in Chicago. It was done Chicago was then an outpost of the West. A amall military station had been placed there, and our In dian agent's home wss there. The proprietor of thf lots said they were two of the finest lota for stores in the new town which was to grow up there. They were sold for a very small sum to some merchant in Detroit. The Inducement for the sale was that the merchant had promised to build warehouses upon them. We believe he did, and thus began the progress of Chicago. In the year 1836 and '36 speculstion, es- pcclslly in Western lands, was carried on to an enor mous extent. Several New York ger.tlemen of capital became Interested in Chicago, end enade great exertions for It. It was well situated, and haa since grown rapidly. A day or two since we saw theeensus just taken of Chicago, 23,500 inhabitants ' The whole of this flourishing young city is the growth of fourteen yenrs ! t in. Atlas. FROM CALIFORNIA. Further extracts from a Letter received by a cen- tlcman in this town, dated, Sam Fbancisco, July 31, 1349. Schooners sell well, at present, to cany Dosacnaers and baggage up the river, and I think they will sell well for 12 months to come for ihat purpose.

HENRY CLAY, Mr. Clay during his sojourn at Utlca, visited th numerous manufacturing villages, at all of which h waa heartily received, especially at Ciayvllla named after himself where ha was introduced to the as sembly with an address, to which he made the fol lowing reply, which we find In letter to the Alba ny Evening Journal: - Fellow Citizens. A lady friend extorted from me the dangerous promise that I would say a few words on this occasion. This is in violation of the rule of preserving silence to which I Intend to adhere throughout the Journey which I am now performing. I aee so many ladles around me, that I am not so well prepared as I should be for a UU-a-lete, with one to whom I might address something which would not meet with approbation. My life is rapidly drawing to a close, and remem brances of my political career are crowding upon me, to which I turn sometimes with pleasure, and aometlmea with regret. I look back with plcasurs upon tho history of that policy to which more than half my life has been devoted j a policy which has made your country independent of foreign nations, and sown the seeds in this valley which have grown to the proeperity and happiness I see around me.'' If I could find any motive for departing from the rule of silence, except the obligation of a promise, It would be to bestow my warmest wrshea upon a place upon which I have been honored by bestowing my humble name. I tender my sinccrest thanks to him who was in strumental in expressing ao kind a remembrance and conferring upon me ao grateful an honor. I devoutly hope that happiness will continue to encircle ynu, and that the choicest blessings of Di vine Providonce will descend upon every Inhabitant of this beautiful valley of these fertile hills. Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. ,, Wasbwotow, Sept. 17, 1849. i Difference! Between this Government and FranceImpertinent Jfote from the French . ' MluUterHU . Recall' Demanded by the President Notification that His Passports are Ready, c r , Some allusion has been made by the "Republic" to exiating differences between this government and that of France. The public have supposed that tbe origin of the difficulty was in the reluctance of the French gov ernment to receive Mr. Rives, on acoount of some dispatches which Mr. Rlvea sent to our government while he waa formerly minister to France, and in re gard to the treaty of indemnity. . But I have reason lo know that Mr. Rlvea, when he embarked for France, did not anticipate any difficulty from that source. The difficulty has not arisen from that source alone. But Mr. Poussin, the French Minister, ad dressed a note, on another subject, to Mr. Clay ton, which was deemed very impertinent. The President directed, aix weeks ago, that the offensive letter be sent to the Government of France, with a demand that Mr. Poussin be "immediately or tooner," re called.. The French Government did not notice tho de mandthey have had time to do it, and have not done It. Our Government has, therefore, intimated to M. Poussin that his passports are ready for him. BOTH SIDES OF THE PICTURE. Wo have presented to us very different views of California", from the several writcrafrom that region. A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, says : "Do not advise a dog to come to California. The entire northern portion of California is inferior to New England in ovcry respect, while the southern half of the same territory is baked and burned by a scath ing, scorching sun, for nine months in the year without rain, or dews, and deluged during the other three." We ought to take the representations of both par ties, wnti some allowances. In so large a number of persons as that which comprise the California emigration, there must be varied fortunes, and the accounts they severolly give ore shaded or lightened, according lo the measure of success that falls to their lot. "Without rain or docs," ia coming It pret ty strong over the credulity of tho public. We have no doubt, from what we can gather on tho subject, that the climale Is repulsive, and the chief, if not the only inducement lo emigrate, is the gold. We doubt, very much, the judgment of those who assert there is "no end to the gold," that is, that ic will be forever found in its present profusion. From other accounts, as well as those given by the gentle man from whoso letter we make extracts, we believe Ihat gold has been thrown about promiscuously by volcanic power, and distributed along the margin of streams and in river beds by mountain torrents, and that the quantity cannot, therefore, bo Inexhaustible, as many suppose. The yield of gold has been entirely over-estimated, wc have no doubt of that ; and it Is very certain SENTENCE OF THE LEHIGH RIOTERS. The rioters who slopped tho Lehigh coal trade a few months ago, and interfered so materially with the interests of the State in its trade on the Delaware division', have had their trial at Easlon, and those convicted sentenced os follows: Thomas Brcisford fined $500, and S5000 to keep the peace for five years. Williamson Riddle and Henry Glessner, each to pay a fine of J50 and (250 surety to keep tho peace for the term of five years. Benard Merwart, a fine of 125, 1250 surely to keep the peace for the term of five years. Edward, a fine of $20 and the costs of prosecution. Thos. Johnson, alies Rippy, to pay a fine of 20 and costs of prose cution. Samuel Nixon, cojored, sentonced to fifteen days' imprisonment. As the lim'o is short, we pre sume he will remain. John Tirney plead guilty and was sent to the House of Refuge. John Kriss plead guilty to the charge of assisting his brother to escape from prison. Sentenced to three months' imprison ment and a fine of one dollar. On Monday night, two persons, one the last per son named above, made a hole in the pridon wall and allred off.

A correspondent of the Herald describes a visit that the Pope made, at Gaeta, to the U. S frigate Constitution : " Seon after the parly of officers reached the Con- litution, the batteries on shore and on board the hip In the bay, announced that his Holiness, the Pope, and his Msjesty, the King of Naplea, were afloat, and In a few minutes these distinguished monarchs reached the deck of the Constitution, and ere received with salutes of twenty-one guns each t the yards were manned, the marines presented arms, and the. band played an appropriate air. The King nspected minutely every part of the ship, accom panied by a numerous and brilliant staff, and expres sed himself In terms of high satisfaction. " Hla Holiness wss much pleased with the 'order nd propriely that everywhere met his eye, The Catholica requeated to be preaented to the Pope, and the Captain ordered them to be formed into two llnee. His Holiness then passed along the entire, giving them his blessing, and made a prayer to God for their aalvation. The ceremony waa grand and imposing. " The El Nspolino, of Naples, thus announces the arrival of (he Conatltution at Gaeta, and the visit of th officers to tho King and the Pupa, with the Hon. John Rowan on board : Tbe Constitution arrived at Gaeta on the 1st of Isst month, snd after firing a national salute, which was returned from the fort, Mr. Rowan took the of ficers on shore and presented them to the King, who received them most graciously, expressing himself gratified by the visit. On the following morning Hia Holiness the Pope expressed to Mr. R hi. de sire that the officers of tlx Constitution be likewise j presented to him, and accordingly the officer, were notified and the presentation came off to the evident delight of the offioera, who are said to have much ad mired ths Pope's simple and prepossessing manners, snd Impressive chilstlsn benevolence ol speech. Hla Holiness sroke approvingly of the officers, and dismissed them with his blessing." Hmte is not tar dintunt when profits can only be made by scientific machinery and largo oull.iys of capital. The Sacramento Time relates an amusing anec dote of a ynnkee trick perpetrated on a Yanki-e, it snys: "We were accidentally listeners and not s little amused, at a colloquy held by n long, green Yankee with a machine similar lo a common New England churn, which he was examining minutely: "I bought you for a gold washer, and you are on' of the washers. Here I've lugged and backed and oack- ed you all through Mexico, and now you ain't worth a conlincntal darn you've turued out only a churn; in i i n sweet-scented darn'd fool, ain't I?" Hers wrought inlo a passion and overcome by his feelinirs he seized an axe and entirely demolished the churn casting the cog-wheel nnd crank nearly into the mid dle of the Sacramento.
