Watts, Clerk. In Boaed of Health, Brooklyn, July 18, 1849. Whereas, we think it necessary and proper for the preservation of the public health, that the sale of fish, fruits, and vegetables and other articles by individuals from carts.wagons, and other vehicles in the streets.lanes and avenues of the city of Brooklyn should be entirely prohibited, therefore, Resolved That from and after the publication thereof, and until further order of the Board, no person or persons shall keep for sale, sell, or offer, or expose for sale, barter or exchange in any of the streets, lanes, or avenues of the city of Brooklyn, from any cart, wagon or othervehicle, ar at or in any other place, or in any other manner than now expressly permitted by the ordidances of the city, any fish, fruit, or vegetables of any kind or description, ami other articles under the penalty of forfeiture of the whole of the articles so kept for sale, sold, or offered or exposetl for sale, barter or exchanged, and of Ten Dollars for each and every violation hereof.

San Francisco, June 20, 1849.

The steamer Panama arrived here early on the morning of Monday, June 4th. Three hundred passengers motley in manners, character, and appearance made up a throng which, from any point of view, was full of picturesque interest to the curious but to the comfort loving traveller, who had to hob nob with and elbow this strange crowd of varied hue, within the contracted limits of a steamboat, stuffed to repletion, it was any thing but agreeable. The thought of us, under the combined suffering of an ever present crowd, equatorial heat and bilge water, should temper the en joyment of your New York subscribers, who are within the wholesome influence of Croton Water and Rockland Lake ice. But it ill became us to grow querulous, when the ladies bore their part of suffering and discomfort so heroically. Mrs.

Fi mont, who was on her way to join her husband, showed a power of endurance that was a fit conn terpart to the heroism of that adventurous officer. The steamer stopped a couple of hours or so at St. Diego, to laud the boundary survey party. The United States commissioner there left the ship with his baggage. The steamer reached St.

Diego on the 1st of June; the Mexican commissioners had not then arrived. There were some long faces on the part of the passengers, on the arrival of the Panama at San Francisco. The steamer had come to anchor near the United States sloop of war the Warren. The passengers surrounded and eagerly questioned the young midshipman who boarded us when tliey learned from him, in answer to their anxious inquiries, that the miners were averaging only ten dollars a day at the mines, and so hard was the work that most people preferred half that amount with hard labor at San Francisco, there was evidently a sad disappointment to their hopes. The wonders of Aladdin's lamp would not have satisfied the gold seekers their expectations had been worked up to a height not easily defined, and were now let down to ten dollars a day an amount within the limits of arithmetical calculation.

It was interesting to observe the progress, for the first few days, of these adventurers. They clung to the steamer, till the good nature of the captain, and the fresh provisions of the ship were exhausted together. They finally dispersed, most of tliem going to the mines, with their salt pork, tin kettles, tools, and India rubber contrivances. The parson, who had each Sunday during the voyage, read to us the service, and preached against this world and its lusts, was off to the mines, with tin pan and shovel. A sober, staid, and smooth faced man, that had conducted himself like a saint on board ship, was to be seen, much to the surprise sfc a score of dol'ars in New York, return, if em ployed in the unloading of vessels in the harbor, princely revenues to their owners a hundred dollars a day or more.

Gold, however, is the topic which never tires, and although they have heard so much about it, yoi readers, I have no doubt, will be pleased to hear more. According to the custom house authorities gold dust, to the amount of seven millions of dol liirs, has been exported. Some is hoarded at San Francisco, no doubt, and a good deal has been carried away by individuals, the amount of which it would not be easy to estimate. Eight millions (8,000,000,) is supposed to be the full amount of the yield from the mines as yet. This, it is believed, is a liberal estimate.

It is not certainly as easy as it was to collect the gold most of that on the surface has been exhausted the amount of dust obtained the coming season will not probably much exceed that of the previous one. Most are agreed that each person can average, by ding in the mines, from ten to sixteen dollars per clay, by dint, let it be known, of regular and hard work, and such hard work as few are capable of, and which deters many from undertaking it. Every day persons are to be met with in San Francisco, who, after attempting, with a good will, digging at the mines, have given it up in despair, and three fourths of those that are coining from the United States will do the same. Woo and sad disappointment will be the lot of many who have abandoned homes, good better aims 111 life, for the purpose of grubbing for gold in the dirt of California. Let ten or sixteen dollars worth of gold dust, got in a day, fur three or four months (the extent of the mining season), be weighed 111 the balance with constant labor, com pared with which canal digging is ease, and sewer scraping cleanly and wholesome, and what will be the gain Besides the moral and intellectual deprivations to which the miner has to submit, in abandoning home, friends and society, there are physical sufferings and disease to which he is fated, the extent of which can hardly be overstated.

There are to be seen in the private hospital, one of the most thriving and profitable enterprises of St. Francisco, men once sturdy, but doubled with rheumatism youths whose blood once flowed rich and invigorating, and which now is impoverished and corrupted with the poison of scurvy. They may yet clutch their dirty leather bags of gold dust, but day by day, as they pay for the doctor's skill and nurse's care, the precious metal goes faster than it came. Comfort for the sick, which would be misery at home, is with difficulty got for ten dollars a day. There is a good deal of gold dust apparently in circulation in San Francisco.

At the shops yon will see it turned out carelessly from dirty buckskin bags, and weighed as carelessly, in rude scales, without any attempt to assay it or estimate with exactness its purity. Boys collect the sweepings of filestores and find it profitable, and men may be seen on all fours, grubbing for gold in the dirt in the streets, thus doing away with the distinction of the Latin author, who distinguishes men from beasts by the fact of the former being erect and the latter prone on their bellies. You will think from what I have written, that I take no very favorable view of San Francisco. I believe that the gold resources of California have been over estimated, and that of course a false standard has been set up, by which mistaken opinions have been formed in regard to the progress of the territory. The natural effect of this error will be commercial embarrassment and much disappointment and misery.

They had anticipated the sweep of the J50 broom, and, taking time bv the forelock, had prepared an address, had it printed on satin, neat ly framed and ready for use against the day that the Navv vard representative should set his broom in motion.

Quevedo, who spoke as follows 1 have been selected by the Shin Joiners miller vour ehanro as tne medi um tlmiiiirli which to nresent to vou this token of their regard, expressing their regret at your removal from the office of Master Joiner at this station. We express our regret at your removal, not be cause we fear any pecuniary injury will arise to vou from it, as we know that your talents and enterprise will, if put in action, bring their reward but because we are pained that the President should stoop so far from Ins proutl position as rresiuein. oi the whole people to be the tool of a mere party. He was elected under the pledge that he had no friends to reward and no enemies to punish and our regret arises from the fact that he has belied his pledges and stooped to a degree of political proscription and party trickery which no party President has ever before exhibited. He has ordered your removal as I understand, from good authority, notwithstanding the Hon.

Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of the lieaureau of Yards and Docks expressed themselves against such removal, giving as their reasons for retaining you that you possessed the qualifications of capability, honesty and integrity," which was the standard by which lie had pledged himself to try all incumbents and applicants for office; and as no charges of misconduct or want of capabilitv were ever preferred against you, vou leave this place as a martyr to freedom of tliougnt, mm a monument oi jyxccuuo uecepuon practised on the American people. As stilted in this letter, we wish you health and prosperity, hoping the day will come when you can retire from business with a competency as the reward of labor faithfully performed. To this appropriate and truthful address, Mr. Rogers replied briefly in the following modest terms Sin I accept from you this token of regard of fered by those gentlemen who have been employed in the department under my charge, and I thank you for the very nattering terms in which you have xpresseel your satistaction of the manner in which I have performed mv duties to the government, and yourselves.

Messrs. Thompson of Buffalo, McLaren of Brooklyn and Reese of South Wales, and that of LL. upon Hon. Samuel Beardsley. will, undoubtedly, be tound that more persons au fallen by it in the United Status than by any similar visitation since the settlement of the country.

No other epidemic has before swept so generally over the country. The yellow fever lias always been confined to a few localities on the coast the cholera of 1832 did not, we believe, cross the Allegany mountains. But at this visitation of the'dis ease, it has overleaped the mountain barriei and spent its rage in the fertile vallies of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, where vast hecatomes of victims have been offered to its devouring appetite. The large 'cities the retired villages; the crowdod boats the emigrant companies, have all suffered in their turn. Life is nowhere safe men lay down in health at nisrht and rise up in the momms; to die Every where death has been bus)' at his work.

When, before, has any epidemic disease carried off so many of the great and good, as well as the undistinguished mass A President of the United States, General Worth, General Gaines, ilrs. Ma dison, Mrs. Garrettson, senators, judges, physicians, Ministers of religion, have all fallen beforeit. It has not been a respector of persons, but has visited alike the mansion and the cottage. In the Atlan tic cities the disease lias been scarcely less virulent than at its first visit.

In Brooklyn the deaths have been much greater in '49 than thev were in '32, if we make no allowance for the increase of population. The same is also true of Jfew York. The whole number of deaths from cholera as reported by the city inspector, at the close of the year in 1832, was 3,513. The number for the present year up to last Saturday was 2,950, thus falling short of the whole number in '32 only 563, which we fear will be made up by the report of the present week. That such a state of things should produce a deep gloom, and call for some general manifestation of our sense of the chastisement is natural enough.

A day for fasting and prayer does not, then, seem to be out of place, whenever a whole people are in a frame of mind to participate in its devotions. Men, it is true, laugh at the idea of changing the action of natural laws, and turning aside the hand of the Almighty but if there is any one thing clearly taught in the Bible it is that the purposes of God are affected by the conduct of men and that when they change their conduct lie withholds his chastening hand. For the Christian churches, then, who take the Bible for their guide, a day of fasting and prayer is eminently appropriate and why not for a Christian people Such a day, with the angel of death hovering over us, should be a day of general interest, and should call out the sympathies and devotions of all. There is a question as to the proper mode of keeping a day of fasting and prayer. Some seem to think that they have discharged their duty by a brief abstinence from their regular meals, and assembling in the house of worship.

But these are mere formulas, and do not by any means reach the pith of the matter. Such persons have been found, in all ages of the world, and have been the subject of reproof by the inspired writers, who have taught us that a day of fasting was a day for benevolence and deeds of kindness. It is thus described by Isaiah lviii, 5, 6 and 7. Is it such a fast that I have chosen a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down the head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him wilt thou call this a fast, an acceptable day unto the Lord Is not this the fast that I have chosen to loose the bonds of wickedness; to undo the heavy burdens and to let ttie oppressed go free and that ye break every yoke Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry and that thou bring the poor that are cast out into thy house when thou seest the naked that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh Our Saviour also reproves ostentatious fasting in his sermon on the mount. He says But thou when thou fastest anoint thine head and wash thy face; that thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Sandusky, Ohio, Jl'lv 31st. The of things in this city continues most deplorable. The hotels, warehouses and stores all remain closet! and no business doing. The sickness that prevails is distressing in the extreme. The resident medical faculty have either all fallen victims of the disease, or fled from the city.

A number of physicians who arrived to day from the interior, state that several doctors and nurse3 were on their wnv from Cincinnati, in hopes of affording some relief. A few have come on here from Cleveland. It is next to impossible to tell the exact number of deaths that occur daily, as the accounts are very contra dictory. The population has become so reduced that there are but few left. California matters.

Butler, King of Georgia, and Gwvnn, of Lonsianna, were playing their parts, and delivering themselves of vague generalities at the political gatherings in the public square of San Francisco. The speculators and financiers had announced themselves, in showy signs, and on tin plates, as laud agents ex change brokers, and bankers, and were deep in the mysteries of gold dust, land sales, and bill brokerage" A youth, who had sported himself gaily on the voyage, might be seen pedding coffee pots and drink ing cups, around the town. Some had encamped upon the shore, on the outskirts of the town, and were experiencing the hard ships of vagabondage, and were living in the hope of something turning up to their advantage, or awaiting the arrival of their respective ventures from the United States, their hardware, dry goods or provisions, as it might be. One party, mostly mechanics, giving up tne ideaol mining, had wise ly resolved upon taking advantage of the high price ot labor at San rrancisco, and had engaged themselves in their various occupations, and had installed their leader, Dr. Colton, whose departure from New York had been announced in the Tribune, as that of a distinguished philosopher and scientific lecturer, as their cook and tent keep er.

You, at New York, would like still to hear some thing more of San Francisco in general, and of gold in particular. The aspect of the town, with its "ha ram scaram" look, its wooden sheds, mud huts and streets, scattered pell mell along the gorge which stretches from the mouth of the harbor to the har k. Itt olf, thoro daily blows a hurricane is to us exceedingly crrotouue. A strntr northerly breeze blows almost with out cessation through the ravine where they are building the the town, with the force of a gale, from 11 o'clock ih the morning to 6 o'clock in the afternoon. While the wind is at its height, the dust and keen air make out door life on shore insupportable and such is the disturbed state of the harbor and the strength of the gale, that all communication is cut off between the ships in port and the land.

It is generally calm late the day and during the night, but it is said that several days and even weeks have passed, without those on board ship being able to communicate with the shore. Commercially, the state of things at San Francisco appears unwholesome more goods have already reached here than can find a market, the supply from the Pacific coast having been more than sufficient for the present demand and when the deeply laden fleet frm the Atlantic shall arrive, there will be a very intense degree of what the merchants call glut. Some articles, however, are still in good demand, and bring high prices. Lumber is sold at 300 a thousand feet, butter at 1 per frame houses for as many thousand dollars as they cost hundreds iu New York, and fruit and vegeta bles brought from the coast, at an enormous ad vance some pme apples from St. Bias were sold for 810 each, and onions 1 shilling each.

Here are some facts in regard to the house rent or shanty rent, from which you may draw vour own inferences. The following property belonging to the estate of a man by the name of Leadsdorf, who died insolvent a year since, has been leased for one year from the 1st July, at the following rates: a small framed house occupied bv Capt. Folsom, at 370 per month an adobe (mud) cottage occupied by Mr. Howard at 155 per month; a wooden building near the shore, divided into four apartments or stores, has been rented for $1085 per month, and two small buildings at 75 each per month. Aggregate monthly revenue 50 yearly, The Parker Hotel lets for '75, 000 a year, and unfurnished rooms in it at S100 per month.

A gentleman who arrived in the Panama, rented au office, a shanty of one room, for 8U0 per month, and was offered a week or so af towards, 1,5000, it being wanted for a gambling saloon! The.se buildings, for which these enormous rents are being asked and given, it must be understood are mere wooden shells or houses built of thin pine rafters and shingles, one story, and containiii" mostly but one room, neither touched jliv the trowel of the plasterer, nor the brush of the house painter. Speculation iu lots is rife at San Francisco. House lots and store lots are selling from three to twenty thousaud dollars each. The mate of the Panama, who some two years since, while on this coast, bought in a frolic, a lot on the hill in the outskirts of the town, for twenty five dollars, refused the other day three thousand for it. Manv of these prices are doubtless nominal, and although landed proprietors iu the town are counting their fortunes by tens and hundreds of thousands, they could never realize a tithe of their supposed wealth.

Beautifully colored and finely executed lithographic plans of extensive towns are to be seen, temptingly exposed in the offices of cunning lawyers aad shrewd speculators. Benicia, Martinez, Sacramento, New York of the Pacific, Suttersville, Webster, and Statrslaus, sound largely in the mouths of greedy speculators, and extend their wide domain of streets, squares and docks, on paper, and in the imaginations of the interested. Labor, as you have often heard, is enormously li gli at St. Francisco. A practical 'ourierism seems to prevail, or rather something better, for the servant is not only rewarded as highly, but more highly than his master.

Two hundred dollars a month with board and lodging, are the ordinary wages of servants, and coal heavers employed on the steamer while in port, received seven dollars a day. All the sailors deserted the Panama on her arrival, and the captain only ensured the allegiance of the firemen, by promising to raise their wages from thirty to two hundred dollars per month. Lightering, is the most profitable of trade square, rude looking scows, which might possibly 1 Fcke Soil in the Maine Legislature. In the Senate, this morning, Mr. Hodgdom called up the Wilmot Proviso Resolves, with the message of the Governor returning the same to the Senate.

After some remarks from Mr. Hodgdom, the Senate proceeded to reconsider the Resolves and pass them by a two thirds vote thus affecting to treat them as Resolves having the "force of law." The Resolves afterward came down to the House, and considerable discussion ensued as to the course to be pursued in that body. It was contended that the house should return the Resolves to the Senate without any action that they had been passed by the House tlie eruveiiioi Imtl jigliLfull nu control over them and no right to veto that his message was not in reality a veto, or his "objections" to the Resolves, but only his objections to the course pursued by the Senate a controversy with which the House should have nothing to do."

The Iowa Democratic State Convention recently held, passed the following resolution in regard to the Wilmot Proviso: Resolved, That in as much as the territories of of New Mexico and California come to us free, and are free now, by law, it is our desire that thev should remain for ever free but that until it is proposed to repeal the laws, making the country free, and to erect others in their stead for the extension of slavery, we deem it inexpedient and improper to add to further distraction of the public mind bv demanding, in the name of the Wilmot Proviso what is already amply secured bv the laws of the land.
