We had thought tha; we would receive by this arrival intelligence of a battle between the revolutionisis and the troops of the old | government. All we know, however, is that Munoz was to have marched on Granada on the sixth of | September, with the intention of taking that place. By the next steamer from San Juan de Nicaragua, we shall very likely hear the result of this move- ment. Our correspondent at San Juan del Sur gives some interesting particulars of a military at- tack upon a house in that vicini:y, for the purpose of capturing an American named McLane. Our advices from Belize, Honduras, are to the sixth of September, at which time all was quiet in Central America. Previous accounts, purporting to come from that region, by the way of Mexico, were to the effect that a battle had taken place be- tween the Guatemalan and Salvadorian arm in which the former were successful. the time this intelligence was received, that it was, | no doubt, a revival of an old story. to be the case. The new clipper ship Flying Cloud has astonish- ed every one by the remarkably short passge which she made from this city to San Francisco She accomplighed the distance in nineiy days, which is six days shorter than it was ever per- formed in before. She would, no doubt, have done still better, but that she sprung her mainmast when ten days atsea. The Samuel L. Fox, an other clipper, built in the United States, has astonished the people of Van Dieman’s Land by her speed. She sailed 5,795 miles in the short space of twenty-eight days; and so pleased were the people of that couatry with this extraordinary performance, that they purchased her. It woald be ungenerous and unmanly, in any nation, to deay to the United States the supremacy of the seas. We have strugg'ed for it, and aave obtained it. Our steamships, our clipper ships, and our yachts, have been proved to be the fastest in the world, and we are faitly entitled to the honor. The interesting ceremony of the ordination of a mivsiocary for the Micronesian I :lands, in the South Sea, where the gospel was never yet preached, took place, last evening, at the Tabernacle. The mis- sionary, Rey. L. H. Gulick, M. D, is eon of one of the Sandwich Island Missionaries from this country, and is a pat of Hawaii. He appears not to be more than eigbteen years of age. It was intended tocrdain another missionary, H. Lobde!l, M. D., for Kurdistan, a different region of the globe, bamely that where ancient Nineveh and Babylon stood. in consequence of sudden illness he was ua- able to attend. The medical profession is deemed ® most important acquisition to missionaries, both as regards the safety of their lives amidst the savages, and its favorable influence upon their success The News by the Prometheus—Affairs of Calltornla, alifornia intelligence by the Prometheus, 8 Sach appears Our (of which we published tae principal deta’ dey,) ia a business point of view, does aot vary much frow our last prec ng advices. ‘The piacers of the great gold fleid continue their retorns with uodimlnished liberality—tmaintaining the regular semi-wonthly shipments to Naw York at two millions of dollars Tne ex im agriculture have been rewarded wits the mos gratifying reeults. Califoraia, not og the long dry n, is susceptible of ining from her own sold an immense population; but time, ia this respect, will be required to develops her capw cities.

The island of New Holland is cont itself, scarcely lees in area than the whole States avd Territories of this Union, east of th Rocky Mountains. It hes at leas the supericia proportions of @ vast empire. Excepting» distan of come two or three han ired miles inlaad from (he coast, it is still @ terra incognita. But enough is known to prove its capacities for supporting mil lions upen millions of people. Ithas mauy of the geographical peculiarities of Ca ifornia; while ia mary rerpects, it seems to be aworld within imelf— ite animals, birds, fishes, reptiles, and insects being unlike anything elsewhere to be found upon the fave of the carth. Now, let us suppose thas the gold discoveries in Australia will give an mpetus te ite set ment »y on active popu acion, to some eatent corresponding with the rusa to California—it will require but @ few years to expand the trade between our Pacife soast and tydoey vo an amount which only « weekly line of steamers will be com potent te seti fy. And this opens up the inviting markets of Obina, Japan, aud the whole of the eastern coust of Asia and its islands. With this pagn fivent field before us, we can begin to estimare the uve of the isthmus passages. and particularily of the Nicaragua route, which combines the «peed fest com. munication with the attractions of the most enebar'ing scenery im the world Te details whien we publish this morning—mre ep exptansly for this paper—of the State elections | is only aquestion of time. The State ¢ We stated, at ] | of California, will be interesting to the politicians. As far as the returns have been reovived, they in- dicate the success of the whig candiiate for Governor, while it is probable that the democrats | will have @ majority for the Legislature. Two members of Congress were also elected, aad it is | likely that each party has succeeded with one of | their candidates. The city of San Francisco is | whig by nearly a thousand majority. ‘The particulars of the execution, by the Com- mittee of Vigilance of San Francisco, of the two burglars~McKenzie and Whittaker--were published in yesterday’s Hexatp. The prisoners were taken | forcibly out of the jail, where they were, uader tho custody of the law, coaflned, and, by some thirty-six | members of the Vigilance Committee, were eon ducted to the rope and tackle “that hung from beams projecting from the front of he committee rooms, over the doors, in the seoond story ” And here the prisoners were hung, or, according to the San Francisco Heradd, ** they were jerked simulta- neously into the air, until their necks struck the | blocks.” After the execution, speeches were made | to the multicude, in extenaation of the act, by | several of the leading members of the Vigilance Com- mitive. The bodies of the criminals hung exposed | to the public view till near sunset, when a coroner’s | inquest was held over them, and a verdict rendered | &e. The affair occurred on the Sabbath. Tbe prison | was attacked while the Rev. Mr. Williams was en- | gaged in divine service with the criminals in the jail | yard, and the execution rapidly followed, «t about 3 | o'clock in the afternoon. Altogether, time, place, | and circumstances, this is a terrible chapter of the administration of criminal law in San Fraacisco — It is to be hoped that this Vigilance Committee will soon be relieved of their duties as guurdiuns of tho city, by the regularly constituted authorities; aad that al! necessity for such summary and dreadful proceedings as have recently taken place, wil! cease toexist. The most important political question ef the day in California, is that of dividing the State into two | Stetes, by the line of the 37th degree of north lati. | tude Such a division is ultimately inevitable. It £ California | northward, extends from the thirty-eecond to the | forty-second degree of north latitude. Between | these two points on this sea-board, lie the Atiantic States of South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, or, in other words, north and south, the State of California extends from Massachusetts to Georgia. For the present, may be most advantageous to the whole terri- | tory to be included within the limits of one | State; but as the population increases, it will, no | doubt, be divided in two States—the first embracing the Sacramento river, which flows south, aod tho | other the San Joaqain, which flows north, into the Bay of San Francisco. The question rests entirely | with the people of California. They may divide the Siate, and the southern half being adapted to cotion, riee, tobacco, grapes and olives, may or may | not admit the institution of slavery, in becoming a | separate State, at their option. With the question | of the erection of a new State out of the territory | of the present State of California, Congress has no- thing more to say. It rests extirely with the peo- pie. Let them form a new State, cither admitting | or excluding slavery, and Congress, if they have a | republican government, must receive them into the | Union. Congress is but the servant of the States | and the people. It has not the powers of a consoli- | dated sovereignty, ouly so far as they have been conceded by the States andthe people. What they have not conceded, they have reserved; and among | these reservations is the sovereignty over the ques- | tion of slavery. But while this question of dividing California is a matter wholly within the jurisdiction of her people, the polity of agitating that aubject soearly may well be doubted. Tae country has hardly settled down upon the compromises; but | they are steadily gaining grouad in both sec- | tions. The division of California suggests the | probability of tae introduction of slavery into the | southern or new State. Slaves are already there. | But the creation of such new State, allowing or probibiting slavery, would revive the late agitation, which of wll things i: is mort desirabie to put to rest entirely. Still, the quession of dividing Cali- formia has been raised; it is undergoing a serious | diseursion among the newepepers, and conventions have been appointed at various points in the south- ern eectiono! the State, to deliberate upon the sub- ject. We trust ond believe, however, that they will defer all action in the premises till after the | Presidential election. | The general aspect of business and commercial | sflwirs in California is good. ‘The gold mines have | pot only mort powerfuiiy contributed to postpone | indefinitely @ wide-spreod explosion in the Atlautic | States, to fill the nativaal treasury to overdowingy | and to diffuse their benetic’a! influences the world over, but they keep up the credit and resources of he immediate community .'n lefiance of fires, floods, and failuies, which would swamp any other State, except another Califoruia, in hopeless rain.

There are 40 causes on the motion calendar of the same — Court. The Cireuit Court will be held by one Judge, for | the trish of causes, agd there till remains a large num | ber on’ the calender. The special term of the Supreme — Court will sit on Saturdays. | ‘Two branches for jury trials will be opened in the Sa- | perior Vourt, im one of which Judge Campbell will pre- side, and in the other Judge Saudford, if retarned from | California. The case of N. P. Willis vs. Edwin Forrest, stands 94 on the caleadar, which contains 819 causes, and will be reached in afew days; but whether it will come “that Samuel Whittaker und Robert MoKeas e | came to their death by being hanged by the neck,” | on at all, or cowe on and fall through, as on the last oc- | casiomy We connot say. Forrest ve. Forrest. divorce case, stand: 104 on the same calendar. In the Transferred Superior Court, Judges Oakley, Ma- | son und Paine will preside at the general term, where | ‘the somewhat celebrated case of Smith Coddington and wife vs. Jas. Wateon Webbj stands No. 98. Judge Duer | will preside in tbe :pecial term for the issues of law. In the Vourt of Common Pleas, there will be also two | trial branches—in cae of which Judge Lagraham will preside, and in the other Judge Daly, who has returned | from Furope quite restored to health. The calendar in | this Court which, at the beginning of the year, numbered over eighteen hundred, now coutains about eleven hun- dred causes. upward» of seven hundred having been dis- posed of since she let of January. This is a vast amount of business done, considering that only one branch his | been held for several months past. Judge Woodraif will | preside in chambers, and hoid special term for issues of law. In the United States Circuit Court the argument ca- jendar will be taken up to-day, before Judge Nelson. The United States District Court will be opemed to morrow, Tueslay, by Judge Betis, and the trial of the Cuban ex. peditionist:—VJuptain Lewis and J. L. O’Sullivan—is set | down for that day Mr. Slessenger, the third party in tha: indictment, iss been sent to paix by the Captain General cf Cubs, to undergos period of ten years im- prisonment for his participation in the more recent and | more disa(rous invasion, and therefore cannot be tried in this Court, ‘Thus the law courts will be the foci of considerable bu- sinees to some and great attraction to others, during the | present term. With fourteen courts including Judges’ Chambers, all in full work, a rich harvest will be reaped by the lawyers; but it must be admitted, at the same time, that the people of New York are a most litigious people. ‘The October term of the General Sessions commences this mersing. The calendar is by no means a small one; it iucludes sixty-eight cases at present, among which are three murder cases; six charges of assault and bat- tery, with intent to kill; thirteen complaints of burglary, | and twenty #ix of grand larceny. The remainder of the calendar is made up of the usual list of crimes, includ- ing @ number of false pretence cases, which will not pro- bably amount to auything but the diechurge of the ac- cured parties. The Recorder has on several occasions charged the Grand Jury to be exceedingly careful in their investigation of alleged false pretence cases, It hes couwe to be a practice with many merchants of our city. when they find they are like to lore a debt, to hold up the criminal law in ferrorum over the heads of their debtors, This, sometimes, has the effect of driving the victim cf misfortune to the use of extraordinary means, by which the merchant's claim is satisfied, generally, however, at the expense of some other creditor ; but if the threatened prosecution is made and the case sent before the Court, it very rarely occurs that a conviction follows. A long, tedious trial may, indeed, take place, costing the county much more than the merchant’s cleim ; Lut it generally turms out that the creditor, if deceived at all, bas beem so deceived because he did not use what the law terms “due diligence” to ascertain whether the reprerentations made were true or false. ‘The murder cares will be sent to the Court of Oyer and ‘Termines after the arraignment of the prisoners, and the Court of Sessions will address itself to the disposi- tion of the remainder of the calendar, The Court will bold double sessions whenever business requires it ty o so, Recorder Tallmadge presiding at one, and city | Judge Beebe, at the other. This will involve the | he | necessity of bulding evening sessions, as there is now euly one court room an inconvenience which will be effectually remedied as soom as the new Court House in the Park is completed.

We have no news from the seat of war later than the Sth Sept. Our advices frum San Juan de} Sud give us the follow. ing particulars of # late military foray at that place, on the Pacific side of the Nicaragua route. It is said that, a few days before the arrival or the Pacitic at that place, a company of native soldiers had been sent there by the local authorities in power for the being some political spy, ora sort of Chatfield, in the disguise of a trader. M’Lean cocupied a shanty, with, perhaps, a dozen other Americans, who, on their return from California, had halted at San Juan with the view of village of halt a dozen cabins would soon, under the im. pulse of the Nicaragua through line, become an impor- tant place of business.

My last was from Rivas, giving an account of the revolution and overthrow of the government by Munoz. ‘This is principally to give youa statement of an affair which took place here yesterday afternoon, resulting in the death of two mer, natives of the United States—one a white man, by the name of Isaac Jerome, the other a colored man, A few days since the brig Victorine ar- rived here from Realejo, bringing as passenger one Col, McLane, as report seys, with the ostensible purpose of raising recruits for Munoz. The government officials of an Englichman by the name of Musgrove. Ruiz ar- rived about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, with about 150 soldiers, and as soon as he got upon the beach, formed his men, and marched up to the house in double quick timer and commenced firing indiscriminately. The house was filled at the time with unarmed men, and several car- penters working inside. No one knew what the attack was for, end, as a matter of course, the firing was re- turned, killing one eoldier on the spot, and mortally wounding several others. The Americans were seen run- ning in all directions to save their lives, and several were s0 hard pushed they were compelled to take tothe water: and were picked up by boats. No one was armed, save acme few inthe house ; and so sudden was the attack, that no one bad time to prepare for it. Your humble ser- vant was standing om the beach, about five hundred yards from Mr. M.’s house ; and, loading my pistols as quickly as possible, went to the scene of action, accom- panied by Mr. White, waving our handkerchiefs as a sign for a parley. We were met by the Commandante, Ruiz, and demanded of biman explanation. He told us his mis" sion, when we requested him to give orders to cease firing, which he did, and the firing ceased. Mr. W. and myself hen entered the house, avd on ascending to the second story found about a dozen men, several of them very sick, lying on the floor, to whom we stated our inission from the | Commandapte, and if Col. McLane were there, he was the only person wanted. We were informed he had gone on board the steamer North America. We returned again to the Commandante, and reported what was told us, de- claring the person whom he wanted was unknown to us, He then informed us that if these men in the house did not ecme out, end subject themselves to an examina- tion, that he would immediately set fire to the house, and they weuld be shot down when they should try to make their escape. Lie was infermed that some of them were too unwell to leave the house, but if he would find some one who knew the Colonel, to produce him, and we would enter the bouse together Although we a-sured him that he would be perfectly safe im so doing. aud would ‘amtwer with our lives for his safety, it required more than half an hour's persuasion, coupled with threats of a terrible retribution should any. more blood be shed, ere he would consent toenter. He immediately recoguized the Colonel by a deserij of his person, which he had received. The Colonel gave himeelf up, and was led away by the Commandante to his quarters. 1t was thea dark; guards were placed about the house and al the bench, to prevent boats trom landing from the ship. ping in the harbor. | Mr. Jerome was taken to Mr. Priest's hotel, and on examination was found to have about twenty bayonet thruste in his abdomen, chest and back.

Much is sail, but little sympathy is extended to tho dead or their cauee. We are anxiously expecting further news by the packet, which will arrive here in a few days, Our long. expected floods have come and brought down the last year’s cutting of mahogany, which has revived our business and given employment, in manufacturing and preparing for shipment, for all of our laborers, The cuttings have fullen far short of the estimates made at the beginning of the year, which will very probably keep the prices up for « long time. Cochineal is very plenty, and very dull, Cash buyers are not to be had, as allexpect a heavy decline in the price im America, where large quantities have been shipped, owing to the low prices it is selling at in Kurope, Sareaparilla and indigo are ecarce, and very high. ‘The season for turtle shell is entirely over.

Last evening, an ordination was held at the Taber- nacle, Broadway. It was intended to ordain two mis- sionaries—L. H. Gulick, M.D., and H. Lobdell, M.D.— to preach the Gospel tothe heathen; but only Mr. Gulick was present, the other being absent, owing to indispo- sition. The eervices were opened by the singing of a hymn; when Rey. Mr. Tuomrson ascended the pulpit, and read the minutes of the proceedings of the Council of Congrega- tional Ministers, held on the 4th of October, unani- mously resolving that the two candidates for the mission were duly qualified for the work they had undertaken, and prercribing the order of the services, and the minis- ter who should perform each part. According to this arrangement, Rev. Mr. THomraon read the service, and delivered the sermon. He commenced by reading the 42d chapter of Iraiah, and then offered @ prayer, after which the 534th hymn was sung. The Rey. gentleman then stated that he regretted one of the two brothers—Rev. Dr. Lobdell—about to be or- daincd, was absent on account of indisposition, having been taken euddenly ill last evening, immediately afver the meeting of the council, and his physician haying posi- tively forbid his leaving his room. Having prepared his sermon with reference to both brethren, he would deliver it as if both were present. He then proceeded with his sermon, which he read from manuscript, taking his text from Revelations, 14th chapter, verse 6—“I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and peop! ‘The sermon was a very eloquent, learned, and powerfuy one. The preacher entered into an elaborate disquisition upon the races of mankind, and contended for the unity jiom of fellowship. wn r. Sencs Se A pie a saiher bevicte somewhere en years 5 Rev.
