20. Sn Fncisco, A pril 4, 1853. Sinrte my last nnthing of moment has occurred. Our city has been remarkably quiel and free from night robberies. The great and sudden improvement in the moral aspect of our society may be attributed to the announcement, a short time since, that Ihe vigilance committee had again opened ila prying eyes and commenced duieenve operations.

The pnst efli, iency of this organization can thus be clearly observed. 1 The accounts fiom the interior are quite satis'aciory, both aa to mining at well as trade. Since the recent heavy freshet the dry diggings have been extensively worked and an immense aggregate yield obtained. Accounts of individual rich hauls are nu-nietons. but where so many thousands dig and delve, it would be singular indeed if our mines did nm produce larse specimens of rare luck.

Operations on the rivers are not brisk on account uf the high state of ihe water, and no great improvement need be looked fur before June. Trade in this eity has improved considerably the past two weeks, and the prospects of an exceedingly brisk spring trade are very flattering. The market no longer wears a heavy, stagnant appearance, and almost all kinds nf goods, of a desirable character (not the refuse of eastern store-hnus'-s) sre firm, wiih an upward tendency. I This improvement may be attributed to various causes, the chief nf which are 1st, verv few arrivals from the Atlantic states, during the past winfr 2nd, the tremendous rush nf eniigmnts to this stale from all pirisuf the world: the eastern stales, F.urnpe, China, and South America. During the month of March probably no less than eight thousand emigrants arrived in this city, fifteen hundred or two thousand; of whom were Chinamen, and ihe cry is.

ISESiUTrl A PWEK. Nsstfiiih Mills, Folk March lrtb'int estimates ihs number that will set out for California from Ihe eastern and western states, during Ihe present season, al fifty thousand. The accounts from Chini and South America are equally heavy in their estimates of departine gold seekers. It is reported that the clipper ship Challenge" will bring us a thousand or upwards of ihe Moon-eyed gen ry.

In fact the whole world'' seem determined upon a trip to California, after a slice of the golden calf. I fear thai many a poor fellow will find il extremely lean picking upon his arrival here, and most fervently wish that he had! not gnne a gold hunting. Heretofore it has cost much tuil and exposure fur men to ohtain satisfactory returns in the mines, and many failed even at that. What can be expected, therefore, in six months hence, when the influx from all parts will have materially reduced the chances of profitable I mining! Much disappointment, some suffering, and a great many fruitless curses. Vaodewaler, ihe agenl of Vandeibill'e line in ih.s city having failed to relieve the shipwrecked passengers of ihe North America a couple of i igs have ben held in this city In secure means fur such purpose.

Money and provisiuns will be forwarded by the Golden Gate nn Monday next. The conduct of Vanderhilt's agentin this city was severely commented upon in a report made to an adjourned meeiing of citizens. It was staled in that report that the asent did not consider himself legally bound lo furnish assistance to the suflereis at Acapulco, and that the few barrels ol bread and beef he had sent was a mere charity. Magnanimous man The generosity and legal acumen of this steamboat agent are most wonderful they merit a cunspicuotis place in every newspaper in ihe land. Please don't overlook his merits He deserves all that words can express.
