Vioe President King.
Oar Telegraphic despatches of Tuesday night
referred to a report in Richmond of the death of
Hon.'Wm. R. King, Vice President elect of the
Um'.ed States, and now President of the Senate.
Owing to the storms and inundations in the South,
which have intercepted our regular Telegraphic
coo nunications, we have received nothing au
thentic on Uie subject. The Richmond papers,
icceited since tlie despatch, contain a reference to
the rcpjrt, without any well grounded informa
tion.
The Legislature.
We publish the proceedings of our Legislature
with fsmuch despatch as tbe r receipt will ena

we want them, ate very tardy and irregular in

. Tardy Justice.
The Detroit Frc Prett?the leading Democratic
journal in Michigan?copies from a Whig contem
porary an article laudatory of Mr. Fillmare, and
pre.aces it with tbe following remarks. Why but
ye spsk sooner?
"We like to renjei unto Carsar the things that
?re Cesar's. We like to do justice to an opponent
and bating a few extravagances and adding to it a
few unintentional errors of Mr. Fillmirc's Admin
istration, we would adopt tbe subjoined ar'icle as
our own. Mr. Fillmore, we believe, is governed
by patriotic motives, and that he has shaped his
Administration by principles worthy of the Chief
M.fci ;rate of this great Republic, tie is entitled
to the ere Jit of having (June all in his power to pro*
mote the harmony of the Union, lie has risen
above'the influence<?f a predominant interest of
bis party, and has directed the acknowledged pow
er cf the Government to put down faction and to
sustain tne integrity of the Constitution. He did
not originate the great measures of the Compro
mise; buthegsre them his hearty support. He
hjs made some mistakes in conduciiug our foreign
affairs; but we believe it was his intention to do
right."
Mr. Calhoun and Cuba.
The New York Journal of Commerce thusrepro
dnctra Mr. Calhoun's opinion in reference to the
acquisition of Cuba, as directly communicated to
the editor of that paper;
"The great statesman, ho so long and so ably
represented South Carolina in the councils of the
Batioil, once observed to us, in a conversation re
lating to this island, that "Cuba was forbidden
fruit to the United States." He spoke at great
length and with much earnestness of the dangers
from'the attempt to absorb it, and declared that our
policy with respect to itshould be limited to prevent
its being acquired by any of the strong Governments
of tt?e world; that it was in the hands of a weak
power# wftich held it as a sort of stakeholder be
tween the nations of the earth; that through our
commerce we were quietly but effectually enjoying
all that we could claim or expect of its industry;
that its Government was improving through our
exaipple; that life *nd property were becoming en
tirely safe there and that the acqusition of the is
land through conquest, containing as it did a foreign
and a ho a slave population, woul be fraught with
great danger to us, aud must be prevented."
IvraovcMKNT ok tiie Patent Office.?It is sta
ted tl.at the new wing of the Patent Office will
be ready for occupancy about the 1st of February,
and that it will be one of most 'spacious and ar
chiU>c:urally beautiful rooms in the world. It is
two hundred and seventy feet long by seventy
wide, and apparently twenty-five or thirty feet in
height. The ceiling is arched, and the continuity
of the yicw is broken only by the slender marble
pillars which support the semi-arched alcoves that
spring upwards to the roof. There are now issued
somfwhat over a thousand patents a year. The
applications rejected exceed two thousand.
Honors to Daniel Webster.?A meeting or the
American citizens in London, was convened nt
the .Legation on the 13th, by .Mr. Ingersol!, for the
purpose of uniting in a tribute of respect to the
memory of Daniel Webster. Suitable resolutions

TiiaFoaous, J. H. V.ner and Joseph Siil-ster,

and passed them, to the amount of nearly 812,000.
One would give a lad the check to get c.ished, and
await hit return; his partner would precede the
lad to the bank, get a note exchanged, and in case
the "check was not paid promptly, or the lad watch
ed or followed, gave his accomplicer a signal with
bia handkerchief, at he came out, which enabled
him to escape. In one case, however, a lad they
sent to the bank with a forged check for S390, got
the cash and vamosed.
Finances of Maryland.
Itda stated that the payments into tie treasury
of Maryland for the present year have been much
larger than any that have preceeded it; over five
nuijdrrd thou-and dollars of the State debt having
been paid off. Jt is estimated that the amount of
prseipal that will be paid off next year will Le

9Ute taxes in lix years the whole debt of the State
wl&beswept off, leaving some twelve or fifteen
mi&ons of railroad stock in the treasury.

CRIME IN FRANCE.
A report is publisher I in the Paris Moniteur on the
j administration of criminal justice in France,'ad
dressed to the President by the Minister bf Justice,
together with a mass of criminal statistics; but, in
stead of being confined, as heretofore^ to a recapi
tulation of the crimes and offences committed in s
particular year, th?sc documents are so drawn up
as :o represent the results otan entire quarter of a
century. The following are the most striking
features of this publication:
The number of "process verbaux" and com
plaiuts of all., kinds addressed to the prosecutors
..veraged 114,181 annually, in the period of 1826"
to 1830; but it increased to 226,682 a year in the
period from 1846 to 1850; and in these total ofTen
J *ees agArastthe forests, customs andexclse laws and4
those of what are called the simple police are not
included. It is, however, to be remembered that
no prosecutions took place on one half at least of
the complaints made to the publio prosecutors, a
great portion ol them being unfounded or the
authors of them being unknown. The numbpc of
crimes against the person has increased; from 1826
to 1830, the Courts of Assises were called on to try
annnally 1,354 such cases; whereas from 1846. to
1850, they have to try 1,778. On the other hand,
the crimes against property have declined; from
:S26 to 1830, they averaged 4,022 a year; whereas
from 1846 to 1850, they only averaged 3,381 a year.
"Amongst the crimes against persons, tnose which
present the most striking increase are Criminal as
saults on female adults and children, especially on
the lat'er. Thus, lor exsmple, such crimes on
children were only 136 annually, from 1826 to 1830;
wheieas they rose to 420, from 1846 to 1850. The
diminution in the crimes against property is not, it
appesTs, owing to any improvement in morality;
but to the fact that they are accompanied with less
violence and less canning than formerly, which
causes them to be treated as offen?es, instead of
crimes, and also to the fact that of late years the
examining magistrates have made a rule of not ad
mitting aggravated circuinstancas so readily as they
used to do.
"Whilst, then, the crimes of robbery tried by the
Court of Assises have fallen from 3,455 annually
from 1826 to 1830, to 2,563 from 1846 to 1850, the
offences of robbery Submitted to the Correctional
Tribunals have risen from 9,871, in 1826, to 24,332,
in 1850. In other descriptions or* crime, there has
been an increase instead of a diminution; this is
the case in forgery, coining, fraudulent bankruptcy,
arson and extorsionof signature #3"
Whio Meetixo in Mississipri.?The Vicks
burg (Miss.) Whig of the 16th inst. says:
44 We understand that the Whigs of Jackson held
a meeting on Saturday night last, at the City Hall.
The meeting was addressed by the Hon. J. S.
Yerser, who advocated the organization of the Whig
party on its proper basis. A committee was ap
pointed to prepare resolutions, and we learn that a
report was made recommending the organisation of
the Whig party on the old issues, and also reco'i -
mending a Whig State Convention to be held in
June next.
"When we obtain a copy of the preamble and
resolutions, we will have more to say upon the
subject. For the present, we will say that the
object of the meeting has oui most cordial approval
and a perfect Whig organisation will receive our
wannest support. We have been defeated; but we
have not been disheartened, because we honestly
believe that the factious recently coalescing can
not hold together for any length of time; but the
Whigs are united and stand firm upon their na
tional principles, however much they have recently
divided as to men, and will gather new s,rength
when they organize fully. It is to our mind utterly
impossible for the factions in. opposition to us to
coutinue united; but of all this, we will have more
to say when we receive the proceedings of the
meeting above allude' to. So farrs we have been
able to gather the views of Whigs from letters and
conversations, they are united by their principles
j and their party."
ID'It is worthy of note (says the Richmond Whig)
that the principles evolved in Mr. Webster's cele
brated speech in the Senate, in rtply to Mr. Ilayne,
of South Carolina, are from year toye r taking a
firmer hold of the public regard. This fact was
disclosed in tl e struggle which resulted in the
passage of the Acts known as the Compromise
measures; and the Washington correspondent of
the New York Journal of Commerce now points to
a more recent manifestation of the potency of the
maxim that "great Is the power of truth." He
say s;
"Among the many tributes to Mr. Webster's
memory, one of the most just and striking is the
speech of ex-Senator Khett, of Charleston, at the
meeting there called by the city authorities. Mr.
Khett says that the greatest work of Mr. Webster
\va? his argument in the Senate in reply to Mr.
Ilayne, on the principles of the Constitution. Mr.
Khett adds that, in his conscientious belief, the
principles then laid down by Mr. W. will forever
direct and control the actions of this Federal Gov
ernment. This is perfectly true, and is admitted
ash truth even by the remnant of those who, in
1830 and since have held constitutional doctrines
opposite to those of Mr. Webster. How great was
that achievement of Mr. Webster's can only be
made real to those who were acquainted with the
political condition of (he country at the time and
with the constitutional heresiesthat then so exten
sively prevailed, both at the South and the West.
The Southern statesmen were deeply imbued with
those principles. hich, carried into practice,
tvould have reduccd the Union to a condition
infinite'y worse than that of the old Confederation.
Gen. Jackson hesitated, and complimented Mr.
Hayne'sspeech; but, some two years afterwards,
found it necessary to act upon the principles of Mr.
Webster's argument, and to issue the famous proc
lamation."

wns noticed about a week since, under the names
of Geoige Green and Emma Snodgrass, and who
donned the pants and was employed a short time
as a clerk in an extensive clothing warehouse in
I this city, is again in town. It will be recollected

the permanent prosperity'of our State.
Altogether the prospects of winter diggings is
better this year than it h sever been, and we do
hope that miners will, in a great measure, be re
lieved from vexatious, Relays and expensive and
toilsome journeys in claim hunting.
.A company on the Merced has taken out more
than 32600 per day for fourteen consecutive days.
Many of the companies on Wood's Creek, above
Senorn, have J been doing finely lor some weeks
past. The Fort Washington Mississippi, Murphy's
and .other claims iu the same neighborhood, are pay
ing better than ever before.
The diggings at Murphy's, Calaveras county, are
paying very well at present. A parly of three Ger
mans, friends of his, lately.purchased a claim for
fifty dollars, from which they took 107 ounces of
gold in three days?Thursday, Friday and Saturday
? f last week. The camp is improving very fast,
there being at least thirty frame houses in progress
of erection at the present time. Murphy's prom
ises to be one of the principal towns in the moun
tains.
A communication to the Herald gives a full ac
count of the action of the miners in Jacksonville
in expelling the Chinese. It appears that the au
tl orities of Jacksonville interfered in the first place,
to protect the Chinamen in working their claims,
proceeding so far, even, as to arrest five of the per
sons who were carrying out the mining regulations
in this respect. The latter parties submitted peac
ably to the arrest," and were taken to Jacksonville,
but liberated oil parole.- On the same evening,
(Friday, 22d inst.) a meeting of miners was held in
the Empire House, which was addressed by Capt.
Amyx, G. B. Harris and Mr. Eddy, at which it w s
resolved to meet the next morning to enforce the
miners regulations. Accordingly, next morning,
(Saturday,) at 8 o'clock, the miners assembled,
chose CapL Amyx as their leader, and went through
all the Chinese camps in the Jacksonville uiiuing
district, summarily expelling the Chinese wherever
they went. The authorities endeavored to inter
feie, but were perfectly powerless in the premises,
and, finally t:.e priso?iers above mentioned were
discharged, there being no testimony forthcoming to
convict them of any otfonce against the laws.
Several vessels were chartered atSau Francisco
for the guano trade shortly after the appearance of
Mr. Webster's letter, claiming the right of Ameri
cans to take guano at the Lobos Islands, but their
destination has since been changed.
A number of gentlemen of the above city have
formed an association under the name of the Amer
ican Russian Commercial Company, for the pur
pose of furnishing ice for the various ports on the
coast and throughout the Pacific. The brig Con
sort has been despatched for the first cargo.
The shipments of specie during the month of Oc
tober amounted to $4,(>70,000.
MARKETS.?San Francisco, Oct. 30, 1852.?
The rise in dour, alluded to yesterday, appears like
ly to be maintained, as sales are reported at S32 for
Chili, and S35 for barrels. The arrivals to-day will
not, we think affect the market. .
Barley has not come quite so freely to market the
past few days. The largest sales recorded are at
U? cents per pound.
Mess and clear pork command a ready sale, in
small lots at 862 per barrel.
Butter has slightly improved. Agoodaiticlewill
bring39 a 40 cents, in quantity; and41 a 42 in job
bing parcels.
We lear of sales of Chili beans at 9 a 9ic. per
pound.
Rice is held with firmness, without, however,
much doin:. Carolina maybe quoted at 19 a 2U
cents, and China at 17 cents.
The last sales of sugar, by auotion, have tended
to settle the market, and prices are not likely tore
cede further.
It is difficult to quote a price for coffee. It will
probably, next week, be saleable, in retail lpts, at
20 a 22 cents per pound.
The coal market is very unsettled. English, by
the cargo, cannot be considered as worth over 819 a
2U per ton.
Fuom Oregon.?The steamer Columbia arrived
at San Francisco, wit|i dates from Oregon to the
23d of October.
A large-number of emigrants had arrived at Port
land from the plains, on the 16th aed 18th and 19tli
of October.
The Oregonian is informed by a geutleman who
left the Grand Rondeon the 4stOctober, that there
were at that time between three and four hun
dred wagotis that had not then reached that place, !
and from the Ronde to the Dalles there were from
four hundred to five hundred. Very few of the im
migrants had a particle of flour, and weTe obliged
to live almost eniirely upon such beef as they could
get b/killing their entile.
The Statesman informs us that the citizens of
Oregon City and Milwaukie together, have raised
about 81,000 to be expended in the purchase and
forwarding of supplies for the imuiigrat'on; that
large numbers were constantly arriving at the
Dalles?their teams exhausted?themselves desti
tute of means and in a helpless condition; and the
place not affording shelter or comforts for the sick;
and that the supplies already sent for their assist
ance will relieve their distress in a measure, but
will be entirely ill: dt-quate to the end desired. The
suffering and privation among them, as represented,
is truly dreadful.
Hallways in Cities.
A correspondent of the National Advertiser,com
menting upon the introduction of Railroads into
cities, and the probabilty of their superceding om
nibuses, says:
Expedition, comfort, safety, and economy will
be promoted by the adoption of this means of loco
motion; and its advantages will net only be enjoy
led as the result of a city's prosperity, but will in
turn contribute to the enhancement of that proc
I perity. City railroads once established, a mile or
two will not be regarded as material in the
location of a dwelling, and distance will so
widen between icsidences as to admit of gardens,
arbors, shade trees, and every desirable adornment
of a comfortable house.
The universal dread of innovation, and some
terror of steam, may cause many to regard these
suggestions as wild and visionary; but people now
adays give in to the feasibility of projects much
sooner than has been their wont, and we antici
pate no chronic stubbornness in the present in
stance. New York will lead the way, and the
j success of her first experiment will be such as to
expose us to the danger of pushing the business
too far in other*oities. Many interests will unite
in urging the prosecution of each enterprise1. All
whose convenience is to be prompted will of course
encourage the construction of a railway; so will
all who intend to invest capital in thescheme; and
so will all who own property along the line of a
contemplated route. This last class will indeed
be most deeply interested, and it is not altogether
improbable that the x>wner of real estate on any
much frequented route of city travel will be inter
ested in the construction of a railway to the full
extent of the portion of the road opposite his own
premises; aud the realization of this will be the
discovery of a plan of constructing railways with
out cost to anyone, save those who will immediate
ly upon their completion receive a full equivalent
for the expenses incurred.
The dangers of steam are seldom thought of in
the vicinity of either a good railroad or factory en
gine, and in our opinion they are less than the da -
gers of horses and the vehicles to which they are
attached in our streets. It is, to be sure, pleasant
to behold the obcdiencc of a noble horse to the
word of command spofcen by his well-known mas
ter; but the obedience of a well-constructed steam
engine is infinitely moTe implicit- Its motions are
uniform* it sulfas nothing from the most inclement
weather, it is not easily startled by fright, it does
not misapprehend the word of command, and it
! demands no rest from its labors. Yet it has speed
and bottom, a hearty appetite, and a willing and
docile disposition. It is a faithful servant, of good
temper, and of rare social virtues. We shalllive
in the hope of seeing it a useful 'and familiar |>er- <
6onage in our city thoroughfares.

helpless despair.
The execution, in accordance with the law,
took place in an enclosure within the jail yaid
erected under the direction of the Sherill, about 8
o'clock, no other persons being present except
thatomcer, the City Marshal, the Chief of Police,
and theirseveral commands, a few members of the
courts, and County officers, two clergymen, and
several gentlemen of the press. The privacy of
the execution caused much dissatifaction among
the vrst drowd that assembled outside the jail
yard, which, had it not been prevented by the
presence of the police in large force, and the mili
tary, would doubtless hove led to an attack upon
the jail, the morbid curiosity of the people ti wit
ness the horrid speotacle, being so.violent. For
tunately, all the proceedings were so well appoint
ed and managed by the Sheriff, that not an acci
dent occurred throughout the day.
The moment it wai announced to Lecount thai
the fatal period was approaching, he raised him
self to his full height, and said to the Sheriff's dep
uties: "Take me. 1 must now go to the eternal
world. Let it he quickly over?have your rope
strong?let there be no delay, that my sufferings
may be short."
The officials then took tiieunfortuuate man, one
by each arm, and conducted to and upon the scaf
fold, when, after being seated, Rev. jlr. Mayle by
his side, he raised his head, and lookine about him
said, audibly, "Is this justice? This is the pen
alty for killing a human being?but, although guil
ty as I am of taking the life of Cliuch, 1 am not
guilty of crime?1 have done no more than any
other man would have done tome, had his home
been violated by me as mine was."
The clergy then proposed to the prisoner to
kneel, and make his last appeal to the Jehovah
(iod. Lecount -now ILrew up the apron of his
cap, and waving a farewell to those around him,
sevuialof whom, his gestures indicated, he reco"
nized, kneeled by the si !e of the Rev. Mayle, and
seemed to be fervently interested in his sacred
prayer, which, was :n these words:
"Our bather who art in Heaven, look down up
on us in this trying hour. Thou art the God of
Ji-stice?Thou kuoweth the errors and the sins of
rhy creatures. Look down upon him who is nu.v
about to pass, under the penalty of the human law,
into Thyiminedinti presence, and be merciful to
him. Deliver him. we pray Thee, O God of mer
cy, out of the hands of the adversary, into those
realms (prepared for the repentant and forgiven.
And all in the nnme ofJesus Christ, Our Redeem
er and Savior?Amen-"
I he prisoner after audibly responding amen,
during the prayer, rose on being addressed by the
fehenff, and with a nervous step, took his place in
front of the clergy and other gentlemen assembled,
and said to them: *?
"My friends: I am about to die in this (pointing
t'i the gollows) dreadful manner. Good-bye
jealousy and rum have done it all?good-bye."
The Sheriff then led hiin to the 'fall,' and af;er
adjusting the rope, stepped back and pulled the
bolt, when'the unfortunate crimnal wasalmost in
stantly choked to death, and sent to his maker.
The execution scene was one which, although
demanded by law, was such the like of which we
never wish to witness again. Upon the platform,
and all around us% were men who have presided
over the criminal courts of this countyj'policemen
who are almost'daily witnesses of crime; a large
variety of the refined and ruder materials of hu
manity, but after the horrible spectacle was finish
ed, we raised our own watery eyes, and looked
about us only to see thata thrilling feeling of abhor
ranee at this disgus ing spectacle, had perfect
command of all that had witntssed it. Yet, with
sympathy so strongly and so universally manifested
as it was for the miserable being who had just been
executed; there was a profound, silent, mid solemn
awf and r.speet lor the majesty of the law, in the
sentiment?
