PROM SANTA FE. ‘The mail from the West yesterday brought « mail from Santa Fe—not of a very late date, however, but placing before us some interesting information. "The st dates are to the 27th of May, the time at which Mr, Murphy, Col, Russell, ond others let Santa Fe. One of the letters which we have seen says that on the 224 of May Col. Price discovered that there were instructions from the War Department, which had been received by the last mail brought by Mr. Boggs,directed to the colonel commanding in Sapta Fe, in which it waa announced that the President refused to sanction any of the acts of Gen. Kearny, so far as they confer any rights upon the citizeus of the territory of New Mexico, as citizens of the United States; and Gen. Kearny, or the officer commanding, was directed not to permit to be | carried into effect such part of the organic and statute laws of the territory as confers such rights, On th strength of these instructions, Col, Price officially d manded the release and remission of sentence of Antonio Maria 'Trajillo. convicted of treason against the gorern- ment of the United States, The accused was thereupon sot at liberty, ‘The next step to be taken, says tho letter, will neces- rarily be to aunounce totienatives that,not being citizens of the United States, they cannot elect a delegate to Con- gress, “ What think you will be the effect of such an Sunouncement to m people whom we have been neurly & year past fighting, hoexing. and talking into belief that the: ‘OR LONDON—With Despatch—Dhe fat wall MBB het virantaty AMR SO RY, awed, ll wil ne above, ¥ Jane o sight or prscage, any 1 T. th : ‘irks A feou street. when offen United States}? ‘The instructions go on to say that the laws for the internal government of New Mexico received the full sanction of the Pr. sident, and ef course we shall proceed to elect members of a tive Council, und do all other acts and things that a people not quite slaves may do.” ‘Thisis the writer’s deduction from the instruc- tions, but we think he will find that even the election of members ofa Legisiatureis not within the privileges con- frred upon the people of New Mexico, If they, as citi zens, can elect members of a legislative body, the dis tinction must be very nice which will prevent them from electing « delegate to Congress. “Phere has been shameful crawfishing on the one part, or presumption upon instructions and orders not given, on the other,” in this matter of establishing a full grown territorial government in New Mexico. We shall sev how this may be, when all the instractions are laid before Congress, but ag Gen. Kearny, in the matter of citizen. ship, has not varied his ccnduct in California, we feel | bound to believe that he has not transcended the powers given to him in regard to New Mexico, ‘The Govern- ment has crawfished. Except in the particulars which we have stated, the letter says all goes on asbefore. “Some fugitives ‘from the valley of Taos, combined with guerillas and Caman- ches, are committing depredations beyond the Moro. A day or two ago they ran off from Santa Clara, or the Wagon Mounds, 250 horses, killing one, and wounding two of the party in charge. ‘This has occurred, doubt- lesa, from the most culpable neglect of duty.”” ‘The writer, alluding to the condition of things in | Santa Fe, says:—“ One thing must be done speedily. ‘This military mob must be relieved, or we must be re- Meved of them soon; they become more lawless and in- subordinate every day.” “By the instructions lately received here, all the officers created under the Govern- ment for this territory are declared. temporary—to con- tinue only until the country shall be declared annexed, or its possesion shall be renounced.”” “We are nheasy about the mail from the United States; inthe common course of things, it should have been here weeks ago.”"—St. Louis Republican, July 17. AFFAIRS IN CALIFORNIA, (From the California Star, February 13.} Tho meeting of the legislative council will form one of the most important eras in the history of California ‘Their action will haves controling intluence upon the affairs of the country for years. It is necessary then that they should be careful, cautious and prudent in ex- ercising the powers with which they are clothed, and in executing the trust reposed in them. There ‘will be much for them to do, and much, which designing persons | will endeavor to induce them to do, that they should re- | frain from doing. Their first care should be to enact auch lawsas are bestcalculated to develope the resources of the territi ‘ameliorate the condition of the peo- ple. ‘The condition of a large class of our best citizens should receive their early attention—we mean the late emigrants. Many of them have exhausted all their tcans in getting to the country, and are notable to buy lands even at the low rate at which they can be obtained now. An early opportunity should be offered these peo- ple of acquiring portions of the public domain free of charge, except for surveying and office fees.—In_grant- ing lands a ination ought to be made in favor of thoso who bave served in the armies, and fought the bat- tlesof the country. MAn efficient, honest and independent judiciary being be great bulwark of the liberties of the people, the best means of ensuring order throughout the country, and of speedily securing to every class of citizens their rights, a thorough organization of that department of the terri- torial government ought not to be delayed. It 1s of the first importance, and demands the prompt activn of the council, ‘The present worse than anarchy. We have Alcaldes allover the country, assuming the powers of legislatures, issuing and promulging their bandos, laws and orders, and op- pressing the people Many of these dignitaries have never before been accustomed to civil duties, and a lit- tle office, and their belief that there is a prospect of greater, has completelyfuddied them, The most ngfari- ous scheming, trickery and speculating have been prac- tised by some that was ever disclosed to the light of hea- ven, ‘To the end therefore that a complete and entire change be made in this department of the government, we suggest that the whole country be divided into con- veniaat counties, and that three or more justices of the eople for each county, having ive jurisdiction, ‘i'he territory should also be divided into three judicial districts, for each of which a district judge should be appointed, having the power, aud being required to perform the du: ties of, such officers in the United States. ‘The appoint- ment ofa supreme judge, and the election of jadge in each cout probate would complete a most excellent judiciary system. ‘The supreme court to be compossd ofa supreme judge and the three district judges. ‘The election or appointment of all necessary ministesal of- ficers would follow as @ matter of course, The station which we have for some time past occupied, and being intimately acquainted with many of the most prominent citizens iu different sections of the country, hus enabled us to learn something of the condition and wishes of the people, and we belleve that we haven the above sugges- tions only echoed the general will. Having experienced the ill effects of the present system,any attempt by the council to perpetuate it would be imet by the most d cided opposition on the part of the people. The coun- cil have it in their power to do a great deal of good, and much that would be prejudicial to the interests uf the country. We hope however that they will be governed by patriotic feelings, and endeavor to accomplish the | oue and refrain from the other. Every thing should be done to assimilate as nearly as practicable at the prosent time, the territorial government of California to that of tho other territories of the United States. We have promived an enlightened andliberal government to the conquered people, and it is our duty to establish it ax soon as possible, that their influence and support ma: be drawn to the side of the United States, and thi they maybe happy and contented under the new state of affairs. We would earnestly recommend to the Council, the alling of a convention of the people on the first of May noxt, to form a constitution for the territory. A com- plete civil organization cannot take place without adopt. Ing ‘this course; and we are satisfied that it would, ‘ye the means of uniting the entire population of California in the glorious effort of #scuring the permanent domi ion ot the United States over tie eountry.—The conven tion should be large, It should not be composed of lens than one hundred members, “Ina multitude of coun- sols there is wisdom;” and besides, the action of a large body is not so apt to be the result of interested and sinis- ter motives, as that of a small one. In the mean time the legislative council ought to be increased by appointment, to at least, twenty imombers fothat every principal interest in the country inay be represented, ‘That body is at present too small for a de- liberative assembly; and asits action will affect every interest—every interest ought to be represented.

The robber becoming alarmed ran, and hotly pursued by the watchman, took refuge in a range of privies in the rear ofthe Merchants’ Hotel, and could not be found by his pursuers. Some time after- wards the cry of murder was heard by the inmates of the hotel, when search was made upon the premises, but nothing was discovered to indicate that any persoa was there. In this range it eppears that one of tne seats and & portion of the floor over the cees-pool was torn away, to which attention was attracted, but at the time no discovery was made. : Information of the circumstance having been furnish- ed to the police office, several of the officers proceeded to a thorough search, and finally found that a body was in the pool, which, after considerable effort, they recovered it was indentified as that of a back fellow by the name of Joseph Dildon, who was well knownin the city, having been employed in several public places in the eity within the Jast five or six years, from one of which, D. Dand rand’s Cafe, in Chesnut street, ho was two or three days since discharged under suspicious circumstances. An in- quest was held on the body by Alderman Ash, for the Coroner, and a verdict rendered that he came to his death by drowning ins privy well. while making his escape from the officers of justice. ‘The watchmen and police discovered also that two or three stores on the north side ot Market street had been bored the same night or morning, and one or twoof them successfully ontered, but nothing of any account taken therefrom. opinion {s thut these were opernted upon by Dildon, and perhaps one or two accomplices, previous to the attempt upon Lippincott's store. Seve- ral implements for cutting and boring were found at the latter place, whieh bad been stolen from Mr. Dandu- ravd’s ixes; and the hat and one or two articles of clothing of the deceased were found in the rear of Mr. D."s Hotel, left there by the robber, unquestionably with the view of returning and replacing the tool be had stolen, and putting on the hat and clothing to avoid de- ion. There were found on his person a eilyer pee with gold pen, and a silver pencil, on the top of which was ved the letter I. or J., supposed to have been stolen. bout six weeks ago Dildon was arrested on the charge of having, several months , Tobbed the clothing store at the northeast corner of Dock and Second streets.

The Secretary (Mr. | Ray) read an address from the clergymen of the Mullin- gar conference, expressive of deep regret at the death of O'Connell, and their delegation of the leadership to Mr. John O’Counell, who may now be said, notwithstanding his verbal noli episcopari, to be formally inducted into it, Mr. Maurice O'Connell, his elder brother, also took & prominent part in the proceedings; aud Tom Steel bade a last farewell to polities and public life, concluding his address by remarking, “that as they again would never bear the benign voice of the august O'Connell, 60 hover agtin would they hear it’s echo in that of his humble but truly devoted disciph Poor Tom, to the end he loved, if not wisely, yet full well. The rent for the week amounted to £65 38 3d. ‘The remains of O'Connell are expected to reach Dublin about the mid- dle of July. ‘The O'Connell family ure represented by the voice of rumor, as delaying his interment for elec, tioneexing aod political purposes, and that they intend, and are making the most of the feelings excited by his decease. A communication from Mr. Smith O’Brien to John O'Connell, concerning his wishes as to the attund- ance of the Young Ireland party wt his funeral, was rather discourteously reeeived, and the proposition con- toined ia it, though unanswered, yet virtually refused, — {i the meeting of the Confederation which took place in the Music Hall, on the 10th, iu reference to the proceod- ings of some of tue members of the old Repeal party, Mr. O'Brien had reason to express himself as follows :— ith regret I perceive that an attempt, which | cannot but designate as pitiful aud unworthy, is about to be made to couvert the wailings of a nation into a cry of faction; but | tell those machinators who have re- sorted to such unworthy, mercenary, and nefarious devices, that they will not succeed.” | know my coun- trymen well enough to be assured that they will pay the homage which is justly due to departed greatness, with- out being made the dupes of those who, for thelr own Purposes, seek to use the manifestations of affection for the departed great, as the moans of exciting hatred against the living; they will not beguilty of this injus- tice, but will judge us by our actions and motives, &e.” Concerning his imputed desire of assuming the leadership, he spoke thus:—"It has pleased some who knew my motives better than I know them myself, to as- siga to my conduct a desire to attain the leadership of the Irish people. Now I think it must be sufficiently ob- vious, that if | had a desire to obtain such leadership, I have not taken the mode of arriving at that end. ‘I knew that at the end of last July as weil as 1 know it to- day, but if [ am entitled to elaiin praise for anythiog, it is that, since I have been connected with Irish politics, it has been my object to assist in bringing forward every able man who appeared upon the scene, and give him a8 much, it notmore encouragement, than { could seek for myself.” In other respects the meeting was most respecta- bly attended and densely crowded, and the internal re- sources of the country, to be developed by individual and united exertions, for its own assistance,formed the topics on which the several speakers dilated; but the full capaci- ty of the Confederation for working out its destined end, must remain comparatively unexercised until the inter- ment of O'Connell, and the succeeding calm, when, by time and trial, its powers and character, and those of its opponents, will be fairly tested. ‘The Irish Council is to hold its next public mevting on ‘Tuesday, the 15th, at the Rotunda, Several influential members have been added to its ranks since its first meeting,but its period of efficiency has not yet come, the famine and pestilence through the land have dulled the intellects and energies of men, returning health and plenty must be waited for, yet ac- companied by the stimulant of an overwhelming pres- sure of taxes for the repayment of upwards of £5,000,000 of debt, spent beyond their power of interference in useless works ; and this coupled with the carrying out of the principle contained in the late declaration of Lord Jolin Russell in Parliament, “that concurrently the rents received by the lauded proprietors of Ireland, and the profits of the farmers, are sufficient not only to y their laborers, but to relieve the destitute.” All this is to be effected by the unaided produce ot agricul- ture alone, except thatthe contemplated institution of & museum of Irish Industry may be considered indica- tive of a wish to develope other sources of supply. In reference to this institution, a circular has been issued, signed Robert Kane, mentioning particularly the objects of its formation, and its place under the general direction of the chief commmissioner of woods and forests. Its ex- tensive or eventual utility is very problematical, indeed ; unconnected with it the Irish confederation are preparing 4 report on theactual manufactures of the country; in- structions pave been received by the several engineers superinten@ing public works, that all such works shall be finally discontinued on or before the 15th of August next. The working of the Poor Law billis intended to bo the substitute; this finally received the royal assent on Tuesday last, and is now the law of the land, though expectations are entertained that the carrying out of its pMevisions and levyiug the rates will be attended with ‘almost insuperable difficulties. Mr. Sharman Crawford intends bringing forward, on Wednesday next. his ‘'e- nant Right bul; it is supposed that it will be received unfavorably by the Legielature,and some go #0 far as to ns- sign not the most generous motives touching the interests of Ircland, as the cause for its anticipated rejection. — Lord Monteagle brought forward, in the House of Lords, on the 4th, his motion for the appointment of a select committee relative to emigration from Ireland Hurl Grey in consent to a committee, expressed himself to the ‘effect, that “in consenting he must repeat it was neither his views nor hat of his colleagues, to encourae the expectation that emigration, on a great und gigantic scale, which some seemed to think necessary and practi- cal, ought to be adopted, or that it could be rendered the means of immediate relief;”” its result may hence be anticipated. A meeting of Irish members took place on the 94h, in London, to take into consideration measures for the encouragement and promotion of Irish fisheries; it is believed that a joint stock company, with a board of directors and committee of management, will be formed to carry out so desirable an object. Rumor says that in consequence of the low stato of the Exchequer, the drainage and railway loans are in danger; the latter for £600,000 as formerly stated, it is said if brought for- ward by the Chancellor, will certainly he opposed.

As we approached the American fall, the mist came upon us like a torrent, and we were compelled to seek shelter, for an instant, in tov Fide cabins of our vessel. We soon passed this pcint, and then stood In the midat of this wonderful exhibition of the ; ower of creation, with the American fall at our left, the Caaadian at our right, and Goat Isiand, that separates the two, with the Biddle stair-gase in ite cen- tre, at our front, | We approached within one hundred EEE SERED SC NOMEN RC Ce Nae ON ee On OREM Ae Meee ee Oe Te ee yards of the bettom of the American fall, but dare not risk within five bundred of the Canadian, for fear of being drawn into its lasting embrace. Thus was pre- sented to us all that ever should be seen of this grand feature of nature, as all other views tend to destroy its magniticence and splendor. Having passed our appointed time, we took the ears for Lewiston, to descend Ontario in the new and elegant steamer Cataract, commanded by Captain Van Cleve, who for nearly thirty years has sped his way across thia inland sea, Wo soon left Niagara river, with its brist- ling forts to guard invasion, and roiled ‘upon the swell- ing bosom of the beautifal Ontario, with a breeze so light, yet so refreshing, that slamber was irresistible.— During the night, we entered the Geneses river, and receiving passengers for and frou Rochester, Sunday daylight’s early dawn, we entered the harbor of Oswego. ‘This town has progressed in population and business most rapidly for the past tw years; and on the completion of the contemplated railroad to ‘Syracuse, distance of only thirty-five miles, this route Lo Niagara and Buffalo will receive more than half the travelling patronage during the summer months. ‘Touching at Sacketts Harbor, which improves but little, we then crossed the lower end of the lake to Kingston, now the seat of Parliament, and the recipient of government fa- vora, in works of public defence and military support.
