The most stnking features of this intelligence #re the overflow at the city of Sacramento, by which a loss of upwards of a million of dollars was sustained; end the fact that the Alabama brought half a mallion of dollars in gold. The flood at Sacramento City 1s the second calamity that has occurred to the new State of Ca- Hiforma within a short ume; for the great fire at San Francisco cannot be looked upon in any other light then that ofa calamity. Nevertheless, ave no doubt but thot Sacramerto City will ehordy recover from the effects of this misfortune. She will soon be herse!f again, for there is a spirit of enterprise and ree that wall triumph over any adversity, short of anni- hilanon. The freshet which caused the overflow, mey repay the damage which it occasioned, by laying bare deposits o! up to this time have remained und Tt 13 well known that almoet the whole surface of the soil lying on the tributary streams that empty into the Sacra- mento, has been seratched and overturned by the industrious gohd seekers, in their endeavors to col- lect the “root of all evil.” The torrents which produced that overflow will, ia all probability, bring to light much gold that has heretofore eva- ded search. 1f thie should turn out to be the case, it will verify the old saying, that it is “ an ill-wind which blows good to xebody,” and the gold thus | brought within reach may more then compensate tor the damage caused by the overflow. We regret to see that there has been a collision between the Amencans and Chilians, the first ac- counts of which canve by the which two of the former were killed; we shall await with interest e narrative of the affair. We muy expect every day the arrival of either the stamship Philadelphia er Georgia, or both, with the mails. There is great anxiety to hear further from the diggings, and we hope to be able to gra- | ify the public by laying before them, at length, the de is of the two weeks later news from there, now fully due, by the Philadelphia and Georgia, very few ceys, Whe Manifesto of un—The Specch In the Senate Po-day, The appearance of Mr. Calioon in the Senate of the United States, with a calm, dehberative, yet perhaps not wholly uaimpassioned speech, oa | the dominant sectional issue of 0 anevent of great pohtical importance.

While the subject assumed some little importance, as | likely to lead a few, who had the confidence of neither of the two great political parties, iato offices under the government, men were ready to rash into the ranks for the expected loaves and fishes of the day of success; but when it was once per- cerved that the onstanght upon the South became a notionel rather than a party question, the move- ment was abandoned very generally, only a tew remaining, who heve nothing to lose should they fail, and all kinds of plonder to win, whatever ill may heppen to the country—poor, miserable, ua- happy demagogues and whippers-in of party, al- most shoeless and coatless, the refuse and disap- | pointed of political brawlers. This, as we eee it, 18 the positien of the minority cies. The other constitutes that mass of strength, the intelligent of the two great parties, who now coalesce upon the Union, and whose meetings re- cently, in this city, furnish the key to the cabinet of their intentions. They are for the Vauon first, end party after. They would preserve our institu- tions in their primitive integrity, abide by the con- stitution, and care little or nothing about the geo- graphical boundaries of power. They are forpeace and harmony, and for the preservation of those re- lations upon which the happiness of the whole peo- ple is commeretal interchanges which are the life-blood of the North, and without which, we are free to confess, our great manufac: peration abroad in Cal:formia, | pire City, and in | *| Could anything be more modest? mea enw turing and shipping iaterests would be ruined. ‘The North cen do nothing without the South.

Mr. Calhoun’s speech, therefore, will come upon our people with no surprise. The meetings at Castle Garden, last Monday night, and at Tammany Hall lust Saturday might, are clear exponents of the po- sition of the masses ; and any fair, just, equitable settlement of the question will be countenanced and adequately supported. Mr. Calhoua kaows how far the North are disposed to go, and will, probably, ask nothing further. The coatroversy must be ended soon, aad wel! ended ; and, to that end, all that is needed 1s such an arrangement of the preliminaries for adjustment as will be fair to- wards all pares. As for slavery itself, men are satisfied that it will eat itself out by those degrees which Providence has established in the harmon ous mystery and inserutable progress of His mani- fold works. Tur G NORS OF THE ALMSHOUSE AND THE Common Covren.—The subject of the extension of the powers of the ten Governors of the Alms- | house sti! engages the attention of the Common | Council, most of the members of which body look upon the new Dill, as well as the one already passed, as a medley of unconstitional enactments, | which, on due appheation to the higher tribunals, | can be upset at once. The Governors of the Alma- house bave just made their annual report, which we publish im another column, and in that docu- ment take occasion to laud their own manner of doing business, and in no measured terms to con- dona the conduct of those who preceded them in the management of aflairs connected with the Almehouse proper. After congratulating themselves upon having thus laid bare the ‘*magnitude and boldness” of the impositiens which have heretofore been prac- ticed upon the public, and duly explained the great | saving accoruplished by the Ten, the Governors complacenily set to work to obtain an enlargement of their powers. Not content with the law of 1849, which gives them the government of the institu- tions at Bellevue, Blackwell’s Island, Randall’s island, Ward's Island, &c., they now modestly ask the privilege of going to the penitentiary, and libe- ng the convicts there imearcerated by the de- on of the Court of Special Sessions, or to trans- fer said convicts from the place of their confine- ment to any other place under the jurisdiction of the Governors. They would thus be enabled to act as censors upon the Recorder and Aldermen | of the city, and have power to reverse the solema decisions of the court established for the protection | of the peace, and empowered to punish offences | against property and persons. | But in order that the extreme medesty of the Governors may be the more apparent, we will give a synepsis of the act which they are endeavoring to get threngh the Legislature at Albany, and which has elready passed two readings in the Se- | nate, and been referred to the Committee on Poor | Lawa, reported favurably from said commnttee, j and committed to the Comnuttee of the Whole. | The act is entitled “* An act to explain and extead | the powers aad duties of the Governors of the Alms- | house of the City and County of New York.” | The first section provides that the Governors shall | have exclusive control of Potter's Field, appoiat keepers, assistants and laborers, who shall hold their places only during the pleasure of the Go- vernors, and receive such compensation as they | shall prescribe. Sections 2d, 3d, 4th and Sth give | | the Governors pewer to build vaults, contro! grounds, repar and build edifices, establish « workhouse, enlarge buildings, ete. Section 6th is worthy of special consideration. This section | provides that the Supervisors shall raise and col- leet by tax sueh sums of money as the Governors | piay require for building workhouses, ete. Sectiea | 7th ie an amendment to the act of 1849. But, of the whole document, section 8 is the most remarkable, and as 1 shadows forth in a re- matkable degree, the modesty of the Ten, we can- not think of abridging it, but give the section \ entire. It reads thus: ‘The said Governors shall have power to transfer from any one institution under their charge, to any other institution under their charge, forthe whole or any | shorter period of theft committal, all such persons as | shall here been, or shall hereafter be, committed toavy » instituttons, by said governors, or by any court iretewunder any law of this State, as varrants | | or disorderly persons, or by avy Court of Special Ses- | | slows; mud seid Governors aball also have power to re | mitany part of the unexpired term of committal of ag Perrone se committed aa aforesaid. and to discharge | | them from (belr eaid commitment, in such special | | cases ar justice may Co them seem to require. | | After the ; corder cud two Aldermea have beea engaged rours, patiently listening to the triel of a cause in Special Seseions, and the talent of the bar has been exereived, proand con, in vindication of the laws or in defence of personal rightes after mature delibera- tion, a solewn decison is arrived at by three judges, and the accused pereon being couvicted of an offence against the lawa, is sentenced to suffer euch punishment o* appears to be adequate to the | expiation of the oflence—now, all the Governors rk in this ection is, thet they may say “fudge” | to the solemn decision of the seid jadges, and at | their discretion ect the enlprit free, or remit so | much of hus sentence as to them seems proper, or athewr own | “ae justice may to them langnage, rec to require.” O, modest Goveraors! O, prose ustice ! The Board of Aldermen have taken hold of this | metter, and are determined to resist any further | encroach ts vpon their rights. Oa the other | hand, the Ten stand up with an assumption of dig- nity, and ark to have their powers enlarged. There | 1s fun ahead. Somebody must lose plumes, and | comebody muet gata them. Whether the Alder- men or the Goveraors are to be erest-fallen, yet remains to beseen. The new bill has been made the special order im the State Senate, for the 13th instant. Tre Doctaine oF IxeTreetion in Connection | wit te Stavery Quvesrion.—A cotemporary very justly remarks, that one of the most serious | of the difficulties that surrounds the settlement of | the slavery question by the Congress of the United | States, is, that many of the Northern, Southern, Eastera and Western members, in both housee of | Congress, are instructed by the Legulatures of the | States which they represent to vote, according to tructions which they shall give them. Thus only the other day, that the representatives: | of this State in Congress were instructed to vote | only as the philosophers in Albany directed. | Those wonderfully wise men put their heads te- | gether, and after deliberating and fighting for several weeks about what was the real sentiment of the people of this State on the question of slave- ry, finally agreed that it was in favor of anti-slavery in the new territories. General Cass is placed in the same situation, and so are a great many other members of Congress from different parts of the country. Now, we hold that this doctrine of instruction is not only an absurd one, becanse the State Legis. latures have no power to compel obedience to their instructions, but it is in the highest degree an im pudent assumption of a right that ought not to belong to them. The States elect Senators and Repre- sentatives, and send them to Washington ‘or the purpose of atten ing to natronal and federal aisairs; | and the Legislatures of the States have no more to do with the duties and responsibilities of members of Congress, then members of Congress have to do with them. It would be fully as high-handed a pro- ceeding for Congress to instruct the Legislature of any State to pass a certain measure, aa it is for the Legislature of any State to instroet the represen - tattves of that State, in Congress, how they shall vote, The duties of each are separate and distinet, attended ag it ovght to be. they ought to be, and any interference by the ‘one with the duties of the other, is an impudent as- sumption of power that should not be tolerated, Tne grond Union meeting in Castle Carden, on Monday evening last, showed concluatvely that, as for as the city of New York at least is concern- ed, the resolutions passed by the Legislature at Albany do not express the will of this people on ihe slavery question; atd-we have no doubt that other Legislatures have missed the mark just as widely in regard to the sentiments of other parts of the country, on the same subject. We cay, then, let Senators and Representatives in Congress disregard all instructions emanating from State Legislatures. Let them pay no attention to what those factious fellows, just emerged trom the noisy arena of political strife, may say or in- struct. Itas the duty of the Senate, especially, to doco. The members of that body are elected for the term of six years, for the express purpose of making them independent of the political anumosi- ties of the day, few of which last for so long a pe- riod. Let this doctrine of instruction prevail, and the beautiful theory of our government will be de- stroyed. The great conservative power, the Se- nate, Will be lost, and the Senate chamber will be converted into a second House of Representatives. Let all instructions from State Legislatures, then, be disregarded. Stram Boruers ann sions,~-We perceive that a bill has been introduced ito the Legislature of this State, to obviate, as much aa possible, the recurrence of such a catastrophe as occurred re- cently in Hague street, by the explosion of a boiler on the premises of A. B. Taylor & Co. The pro- posed bill provides that a board of skilful engineers shall be constituted by the Governor, by and with the consent of the Senate, whose duty it shall be to examine all engineers, for the purpose of ascer- taining their competence to manage and control steam-engimes, and to give certificates to such persons as they, on examination, shall decide to be competent. It also provides that persons acting as engineers, without such certificates, shall be fined heavily; the same penalty to apply to all persons who may employ them. This is an excellent measure, and we have no doubt that it will be received with favor by engi- neers themselves, as well as by the community at large. We cannot call back to life the numerous persons who were sent in a moment into the other world, by the late terrible catastrophe 1n this city, but itis the duty of the Legislature, with sach sad experience before thein, to prevent similar disasters, as far as legislation can effect it. No engineer, who properly uadersiands his business, and the immense responsibility that rests upon him, will object to the passage of such alaw. Ia fact, it is the interest of all competent engmeers to promote it to the fullest extent of their ability. The mcompetent would then be set aside, and none but men who thoroughly understand the steam engine would be permitted to practise the | business. Steam, asa motive power, is more ge- | nerally used than it ever was, and will be in re- | quisition to a greater extent nereatter than it is | pe now. There are hundreds of boilers in every | city and town in the State, the explosion of any of | which would be attended with lamentable loss of | life, m a greater or less degree. We have laws | for the preservation of human life, by prohibiting | niore than a certain quantity of gunpowder being stored within the city fimite, Jest an explosion | might oceur, that would kill people. Why should we not have a law that none but competent per- sons should have control of steam-boilers, which | are, if anything, more dangerous than gunpowder? | 2 We think the Legislature might very judiciously | make an addition to the proposed law, by enacting | that a eteam-boiler should in no instance be within | the building—that it should be in a house attached, | or ina cellar under the street. If the boiler in| Hague etreet had been situated in this wey, the | tows of life would, ia all probabihty, have been confined to the engineer, aad we would not now | be mourning, as we are, the destruction of seventy | persons and vpwards. The effects of the explo- | sion would have been, comparatively speaking, | trifling. We do not say that the evgineer of the boiler in Hogue street neglected his duty, and that such neglect was the cause of that catastrophe; | but the experience ef all scientific men is to the effect that in ninety-nine explosions in a hundred, the cause may be attributed to neglect, and that a | steam-engine, m the hands of a competent and | fuithful engineer, 1s perfectly sufe. If it explode, therefore, in a detached building, the uafaithtal er incompetent engineer would, ia most cases, be the only sufferer, ond the innocent would be epered. terday reveal continued fo fall in large flakes, aud soft. just like fea- thers, with the wind from the South, aod warm as it could be with snow fallin, the w og to | like bad! and the alr besames cordingly cold throughout the day and night about munmwet.
