The Legislature of this State, at its last session, passed an act changing the corporate name of the old Mutual lusurance Company of the city of New York," to the Knickerbocker Fire Insurance Company of New All future business of that corporation will therefore be transacted under its new name. It may be well to add. by way of explanation, that the old Mutual," notwithstanding its title, WAS in fact a stock company, having a capital all paid in and seeurely invested, and that the change of name was obtained to prevent misapprehension on that point.

HE operations of this company are purely mutual; the assured being the only proprietors. The charter is more liberal than that of any other Mutual Life Insurance Company granted by the Legislature of the state of New York. Policy holders, whether they continue for life, or for short terms," receive their pro rata amounts of profits, and these are returned annually, in Scrip, bearing an annual interest of six per payable in cash. Fifty per cent, of the premiums received, for three years in succession, have already been returned to the assured. For Policies, granted for the whole period of Life, when the premium therefor amounts to $50, a note for 40 per with interest at 6 per without guaranty, may be received in part payment; or the whole premium may be paid annually, semi-annually or quarterly, by adding interest on deferred payments.

All premiums for terns short of life must be paid in cash. Should the party survive to make 13 annual payments, leaving the dividends to accumulate, it is expected that the policy will be fully paid for, and the accumulation ultimately added to the policy. Pamphlets illustrating the principles of Life Insurance, Forms of Application, and other documents, may be had at the principal office, or of any of its agents. A. M.

1, 140 siro shade, 161 for sale by Correspondence of the Evening Post. SALINES OF ONONDAGO, Nov. 30, 1848. Gentlemen: I came here from Ontario this morning. The railroad from Oswego to Syraeuse is completed and the journey is now made in two hours.

The Superintendent of the State Salines, Mr. Gero, has kindly furnished me with a deteiled statement of the manufacture of salt at the public Salines from January lat, of the present year, to November 25th. The aggregate is four millions six hundred sixtyseven thousand seven hundred and sixty-four 82-56 bushels--the bushel is reckoned at 56 lbs. This is the largest quantity ever made here in any one year, and is probably more than equal to half the whole importation of foreign salt into the ports of the United States during the same period. Mr.

Gere informs me that one dollar per barrel, of five bushels, including barrel, is the average price of salt at the Salines, for 1848. The barrel and packing costs about thirty cents, leaving seventy cents for the salt, which is equal to fourteen cents per bushel. The salt trade has been very prosperous the present year. and the fears that the lower rate of duty on foreign salt would injure the salt trade here, have Dot been realized. My examination of these Salines have been both extensive and minute, but time does not serve me while I am busily engaged in field labor to write.

1 make my memorandums in brief, and will endeavor to extend these at leasure. have deemed it important in making my meteorlogical observations in connection with my geological, to combine within the range of investigation matters that appertain to the agricultural interest of the country. With this view I examined the temperature of the Cratean Lakes of Manlus, and the result satisfied me that the land which lies within the crater, above the water, affords the best site for vineyard any where north of lat. This land is now covered with a thrifty growth of wood of various kinds. The shape of the crater being concave, and that of the inside of a tea cup, will have the effect to bring the sun's rays to act with energy-it is out of the way of cold winds, and has a warm atmosphere, resulting from the high temperature of the water of the lake.I shall send the worthy farmers who own the soil some Isabella grape cuttings to make the experiment.

Mari and black alluvial earth ace abundant here and on the very borders of the Erie canal. I am inclined to the opinion that it will take fifty-six bushels of warl or alluvial earth to weigh one ton. The cost of removing a ton of marl or alluvial earth from here to the shores of Long Island is two dollars. The farmers of Long Island purchase leeched ashes in the city of New York of the soap makers at one dollar and twenty-five cents for a load of fourteen bushels; they cart these to the boat, and then boat the ashes to the landing on Long Island, an additional expense. Fifty-six bushels will thus cost landed on the shores of Long Island, from six to seven dollars, whereas the marl or alluvial earth would not cost but a fraction more than one-third of the money, for I think either would be delivered on board of canal boats for fifty cents per ton.

This is an important matter, and I have endeavored to present it in that concise shape that the agriculturist will, at a able to form an opinion of the advantages. Yours, E. MERIAM. THE EVENING POST.O Telegraph THIRTIETH CONGRESS- Second Session. WASHING TON, Dec.

4th. The Senate adjourned over till noon on Tuesday. House of Representatives. A message was received from the Senate informing the House that that body had organized. Mr.

Wentworth-introduced a resolution to appoint committees to wait on the Senate and the President, informing them of organization. Mr. Wilson raised question upon receiving a member from Wisconsin, as a delegate, and he stated the facts particularly, and argued the Minesota case, and for Mr. Sibley's right to a seat as from the territory of Wisconsin though nominally from Minesota. Mr.

Cobb thought it too early to raise the question, and he therefore proposed a reference to the judiciary or election committees. The whole matter was referred to the committee on elections to act upon, when they are appointed. Mr. Murphy offered a resolution that the members retain their present seats, which was loudly negatived. Mr.

Evans, of Maryland, offered a resolution that members should draw for seats, which was adopted. And the drawing and selections followed. Mr. Henly moved the choice of two chaplains, of different denominations, which was agreed to, but the election was postponed. Notice of a bill was then given asking for the right of way and for a grant of public lands for a railroad between the Upper and Lower Mississippi.

Thereupon the House adjourned till to-morrow, when the Message will be delivered. THE SUPREME COURT. The Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States assembled in their Court Room this morning. All the Justices were present except Chief Justice Taney, and all were in seemingly good health. The docket will be called to-morrow.

Reception of the Mexican Minister. Senor Luis de la Rosa, the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Mexico, was officially introduced to the President of the United States, by Mr. Buchanan, the Secretary of State. Senor de la Rosa's interpreter, and one of his secretaries, accompanied him. After a formal precontation, the Mexican Minister addressed the President with much grace in the Spanish language, of which the following is a translation: Most Excellent Sir -I have the honor to present to your Excellency the full power which accredits me as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Mexico to the Government of the United States.

also have the honor and satisfaction of placing in your Excellency's hands, the letter addressed to you by the most Excellent President of the Mexican Republic. From both these documents your Excellency will see how benevolent and friendly are the sentiments of the Government of Mexico for the United States, and how ardently it desires the happines of this Republic. The treaty of peace signed in the city of Guadalupe threw a veil over all the past, and Mexico will deem herself indemnified for the sacrifices which she made for peace, provided that treaty is religiously and inviolably fulfilled. The honor and good faith of your excellency's government are the best guaranty to Mexico for the fulfilment of that sacred act. Consequently, my country will not in future regret that Providence has placed her near a powerful people, daily increasing in civilization.

On the contrary, Mexico will always address to the Almighty the same prayers which now proceed from my own heart for the prosperity of this republic. The President replied as follows It affords me peculiar pleasure, sir, to recognise and receive you as the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Mexican Republic. I cordially reciprocate toward Mexico the sentiments of friendship which have been expressed for the United Staces in the letter of your distinguished and patriotic President. I but express the sentiments of the whole American people, when I assure you of their sincere desire that Mexico may be a great, a prosperous, and a powerful Republic, united in bond of perpetual amity with the United States; and that her citizens may enjoy all the security, liberty, and protection which must result from a wise and firm administration of her present constitutional system. It shall be my constant care to cherish between the two republics sentiments of mutual regard and friendship, and to extend and cultivate the commercial relations between them upon terms of reciprocity which shall be mutually advantageous.

May all past differences between the two countries be forever buried in oblivion. The treaty of peace to which you have referred shall be inviolably ohserved, and all its stipulations be faithfully executed on my part 88 I doubt not it will be executed in a similar spirit by my successors. I cannot, upon this interesting occasion, refrain from expressing my gratification that the Mexican Government has selected for its diplomatic representative in the United States, an individual as highly and justly distinguished as you have been for public services, both in the legislative and executive departments of your native country; and above all, one who contributed so essentially to the happy restoration of a just and honorable peace between the two republics. The President of Mexico, whose honor and integrity have never been doubted, has thus offered the surest pledge that the treaty of peace shall be faithfully preserved on his part.

Staite, inventor of a patented Electric Light, has made some the exceedingly interesting and valuable periments at Hanover-square rooms, London, ex- to prove London the Post power and ef his discovery. The gives the following particulars: The results were as favorable as could be wished, and cortainly surpassed the expectations of most of those assembled to witness them.

The light resembles a spark of the most brilliant and vivid fire, about the size or rather less than the burner of a arcommon gaud lamp. There is no combustion, nor will it produce combustion by coming in contact with combustible substances. The power is immense, resembing day or sun light, and obscuring the light of candles in the manner that rays of daylight obscure them. The great room was illuminated by the operation. The light is generated or produced by a battery of 44 plater, of the di neasions of 14 square yards.

It is understood to be self-regulating, and to be so cheap that any person can afford to pay for it.The application of this invention to the use of lighthouses was partly discussed, and its advantages set forth. It is the intention of the inventor to give a series of lectures on his discovery, whereby the scientific public will be afforded an opportunity of a fuller and more complete test and explanation, and can form their own opinions accordingly.

It is calculated that over two millions of dollars taken out of the mines in grain gold per month, this sum will be more than quadrupled another season. This grain gold is now shipped off in large quantities to Mexico, Chili, and Peru, where it coined under the insignia of those republic to the metallic basis of our own circulatin.

It will more to cherish and tain emigration. than the appropriation of million ordinary purposes, and at the same time, swell immensely the aggregate our national coin.

"The head of the emigrant column for the year has already reached California they will pour themselves in mass into the mines. There will also be a large emigration from Oregon, and also from the Sandwich Islands; and there will be a heavy tide over the Isthmus, as soon as the steamers are on their destined track. When the wealth of these gold mines is really known and believed in the United States, there will not be wagons and steamers enough, that can be spared, to bring the emigrants here. You now all incredulous; you regard our statements as the dreams of an excited imagination what seems to you mere fiction, is a stern reality is not gold in the clouds or in the sea, or in the eenof a rock-ribbed mountain, but in the soil of California-sparkling in the sun and glittering in its streams. It lies on the open plain, in the shadows of deep ravine, and glows on the summits of the mountains, which have lifted for ages their golden coronets to heaven.

As an evidence of the facility with which it is proeured, let one or two facts suffice. Every sailor that now ships in a port in California gets his fifty dollars per month, and but very few can be procured these wages. An offer of one hundred dollars per month would be rejected by nine-tenths of those now engaged in the mines. They consider their labor there good for thirty dollars a day, and it often realizes them even more. Even the poor Indian, when you talk of hiring him, shakes his bag of gold your eyes.

The consequence is, we hare no hired laborers--no servants; every man must black his own boots. This is a practical -no theory--no talking about equality: we are alt on a level by that great law of circ*mstances, which no one can surmount. The rounds of your ladder, it is true, are of gold; but your neighbors ladder run's just as high. "We are proud of this -its vast extent and richness throws all other mimes into the shade. It makes the fifteen or twenty millions paid to Mexico: a feather in the opposite scale, and reduces even the expenses of the wer to a nominal fraction." THE GOLD MINE.

-A few months ago we were in the habit of speaking of the agricultural resources and the commercial qualities of California as being the source of her greatest wealth, and although they are not inferior to any portions of the world, the soil constitutes but a small part of her wealth, all interests, having been absorbed in the working of the mines. The present number of the Californian is intended for circulation abroad as well as at home, and will, giving a minute and general view of the all-absorbing topic, the gold mine, be found useful to persons to send to their distant friends. The inforination which we shall give has been gathered from 80- tual observation. and from persons who have been engaged at the mines, and from the most authentic sources, as it is desirable that the fact be correctly known through other countries, and especially through the United States. Some time since, in the spring, Messrs.

Marshall mill which had been built on the American fork of the Sacramento, found some gold which the current had collected in the bottom of the race, which after being examined was found to be very pure. It soon began to attract attention, and some persons discovered the gold in the river below, and for some distance above, in large quantities- -so much so that persons who only gave credit to one-third of what was said about it, left their homes and went to work in the mines. It was the work of but a few weeks to bring almost the entire population of the territory together to pick up the precious metal. The result has been that in less than four months a total revolution has been effected in the prospects and the fate of Alto California Then the capital was in the hands of a few individuals engaged in trade and speculation, now labor has got the upper hand of capital, and the laboring men hold the great mass of the wealth of the country--the gold. There are now about four thousand white persons besides a number of Indians.

engaged at the mines, and from the fact that no capital is required, they are working in companies on equal shares, or alone with their basket. In one part of the mine, called the "dry di ggins," no other implement is necessary than an ordinary sheath knife to pick the gold from the rocks. In other parts, where the gold is washed out, the machinery is very simple, being an ordinary trough made of plank, round on the bottom, about ten feet long and two feet wide at the top, with a riddle or seive at one end to catch the larger gravel, and three or four small bars across the bottom, about half an inch high, to keep the gold from going out with the dirt and water at the lower end. This machine is set upon rockers, which gives a half rotary motion to the water and dirt inside. But the largest number use nothing but a large tin pan or an Indian basket, into which they place the dirt and shake it until the gold gets to the bottom, and the dirt is carried over the side in the shape of muddy water.

It is necessary in some cases to have a crowbar, pick and shovel, but a great deal is taken up with large horns, shaped spoon fashion at the large end. From the fact that no capital is necessary, a fair competition in labor without the influence of capital, men who were only able to procure one month's provisions, have now thousands of dollars of the precious metal. The laboring class have now become the capitalists of the country. the Baltimore Sun of VIOLENT -The city and surrounding country were visited on Saturday morning last by one the most violent gales of wind and rain which has been experienced here for a number of years. During Friday the sky was obscured by clouds, the wind blowing lightly from the north-east, causing an prehension of a storm from that quarter; but late Friday night the wind veered suddenly round and blew with tremendous violence from the south, almost in an opposite direction.

In the harbor, the waves run so high as to be dashed over the wharves, scattering the spray to a great distance. This continued until about nine o'clock, when the storm ceased, clouds broke away and the sun came out, making day most beautiful. The damage has been considerable in the city and harbor, and also in the bay, will be seen by the annexed accounts which we have succeeded in collecting A new building on West Saratoga street, was partially blown down, the walls of which will have to be commenced anew. The gable ends of some new buildings in Wolf street, were blown down, causing some loss to builders. At the foot ef Commerce street, a portion of wharf to which the steamer Columbia and sundry bay craft were moored, gave way and occasioned a deal of trouble, hefore all could be secured.

Two schooners at the long wharf, Canton, 'were sunk. One of them belonged to Mr. Robert Mitchell, of this city, and the other to Mr. James Smith. A schooner discharging grain into the ship Chesapeak, at Water's (wharf, had her mast broken close to the deck, and her stancheon and rail stove in, in the larboard side.

Another schooner at same place was somewhat injured. The schooner Cecil, Capt. Binney, received slight damage. The new ship Jane Henderson was thrown against Waters' wharf, and was considerably chafed, and paint rubbed off. A pungy, belonging to John Simpson, was thrown up into Gardner's ship yard, and had a hole stove her quarter.

A lot of wood, as much as would compose the deck load of a good sized vessel, floated ashore near Can ton depot. The stern of a small vessel, supposed a bay craft, came ashore near Harris creek bridge. and ship Xylon, just arrived with a cargo of guano, The which was aground on Friday evening, floated the rising of the tide, and was driven across the dock between Donnell's and Waters' wharves, completely jammed in. She broke her jib-boom, and her injured. The new ship Grey Eagle, at Chase's wharf suffered The slight damage from chafing.

sloop Red Rover, Capt. Blackstone, delivering broke oysters at the wharf of Messrs. Holt Maltby, her fastenings and drifted against a brig in stream, loosing her topmast in the encounter. The schooner Roe, Capt. Avery, bound for New York, lying at Corner's wharf, broke from her fastenings and drifted down to Herr's wharf, where she came in contact with a steamer.

She had her boat smashed, her davits broken, and received other slight damage. She left for New York on Saturday evening. It is believed her lines were cut designedly some malicious person, though it is hard to think any one would be guilty of such an act. At the Maryland wharf a schooner was also damaged considerably, and had her boat broke to pieces. At the head of the basin several of the small craft were more or less injured.

They, however, were more sheltered than those in the other parts of the harbor, and consequently suffered less. the bay, and let go an anchor; a second was anchor caught was The brig Ocean, a Boston packet, also let go, which held her, the first anchor parting, which, with the chain cable, was lost. The elegant new schooner Mary Mankin, of the New York line of packets, was driven ashore on Kent leland, and bad to receive the aid of the towboat Relief, Capt. Sanner, to get her off. The steamer went down yesterday morning.

We have not heard what damage the schooner received. We are apprehoneive that we shall hear of disastrous from the coast. The change of the accounts wind was so sudden, and its violence so great, that many accidents must have taken place. Notice of Redemption of Treasury Notes. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Dec.
