Summary of the News, There was # terrible hurricane in this section of the country on Saturday night. Tho wind shifted to the twinklirg of an eye, from the northeast to the pouthweet. The shipping in our harbor sufferod considerably. By telegraph we learn that the atcawere bey State ani State of Maine, came iato eallision at Newport, a d were so much injured that they will have ‘o lay by for repairs. At Syracase, the wied prostrated tho large Unitarian Churoh, and with it an adjoin ng dwelling house, in whi: several persona were ‘eeping, but who fortunately escaped uninjured. Wo may yot hear of serious disasters at coa. We shall loarn, to-day probably, by telagraph, the extent of the gale. Tbe Crescent Cty arrived yesterday, with the California mails to the Ist ult , and a large amount of gold dust. There ig no additional news from the gold region. We yesterday published full details brought by the ‘rometheus. Aovording to ac. coun'sfrom Panama, the emigration to California is immense. !t was estimated that coven thousand persons were en route betwoen Panama and San Francisco, and that over four thousand remained at Panema aud on the Isthwus, awaiting conveyance to the land of promise. We have a number of let- ters from our correspondents at Panama, the pub- lication of which we are compelled to defer till morrow. Intelligence from Costa Rea tothe 21th ult, was received by the Prometheus. Tho official pa- per cortainsthe approval by President Mora, of that republic, of the treaty of amity and commerce concluded laet July, in Washington, between Mr. Moline, the Cuzta Rican chargé, aad Mr. Web- ater.

Them have been very enorm leg rolling p ail there ¢ introduced a b lands to the the vote-yourseif North and the W | the agricultural and comme: Missouri. And from our Congressional reports, it would appear that an attempt has been made to run this bill through the House without even the formality of debate. Other bills making grants for similar purposes, pending between the twe houses, cover, probably, from cight to ten million, of acres; and the only difficulty te passing the whole of them, and ten times as many more—including Whitney’s grand Pacific Railroad, which only re- quires the small grant of sixty millions of acres— the only drawback to all these projects, Whitney and all, is the opposition of the mombers of the Atlantic eeaboard. Now, the question arises, what should be done, or, rather, what can be done, to save the public property from the land-sharks, land, jobbers, log rollers, and traders in the profits arising from acts of Congressional liberality? The grapting of one million acres to a rail road, or any other public work, is equivalent to $1,250,000, at the mivimum rate ef $1 25 peracre— juet 80 much money from the treasury. Evosy acre of the public domain in those States for whom these grants are intended, is equal to at least one dollar and a quarter in cash, andin many casos equal to two, four, or six dollars, at publio auction. We undertake to ssy that the public lands aré the property of the United States, and that overy State has an interest in thom, and a right toa bare, if they are to be divided. We apprehend that it was under some euch construction of tho rights of the States and the powers of Congress that the surplus proceeds in the treasary, acoumn- lated from the public lands, daring General Jack- son’s administration, to the amount of fifteen mil- lions of dollars, were divided among the States. The share which was thus received by New York was made tho foundation of hor presont school ays- tem; and our experience in the benefits of that measure induces us to believe that the State would have no sort of objection to several millions more, on the same terms, Mr. Underwood has iatroduced an amendment to the Jowa land bill, in the Senate, granting to the old States, on the basis of their fedoral rep- resentation, such an amount of lands, cach, as will bring them up to the maximum of the grants already made to he most favored States of the West. Bythis amendment, the share aosraing to the State of New York would be 3,097,280 sores, or nearly four millions of dollars, at the lowest cash price. But giving to the State the disposition of these lands, their value would probably be enhanced to eight orten millions. This would cover up tho entire outlay for the enlargement of tho State canals—previded, always, that none of the contract. ors go by the board, or overlap their cstimates, or turn up missing. Eight or ten millions of dollars are worth having; and between squandering’ the public domain among Western speculators, for pro- jects of Western railroads, and other schomes for grasping the public lands—between this plan, and the old exploded plan of the distribution of the pro- ceeds from the publio lands among all tho States, common justice and common honesty require tho adeption of the latter. And this would be perfectly fai-, after reducing all the States toa level, accord- ing to Mr Underwood’s amendment. Ja conclusion, whatever may be done—and we know that corruption is at work, in the capitol and out of the capitol--it is time for the members of he Eastern States to wake up. Let them wako up, then, or one source of the common revenues of the nation, through the suction ef gangs and com: panies, and monopoiies of land sharke, will be dried up, and the expenses of the government will havo to be met by an increase of taxation, direct or in- direct. We have a largo debt to pay—our exponses are increasing—the receipts from the public lands, will be useful to meet public obligations, and they oarnot very well bespared. But ifthe public domain fk to bo equandered away, let us have a “fair divide all round,” and let our senators and sentatives in Congress see to it that New not cheated in the bargain. And, in view York of all his mercies to cur happy country, in spite of the corropt and trading politicians, the Lord be praised!

The enactment of such a bill into a law, would confer en the pious and hamble Arch- bishop a very dangerous and exclusive control over avast amount of church property, which might lead him into temptation and sin, and be of great damage to the galvation of his soul. It wasin vhis way that the Charch of Rome, bit by bit, assumed power during a sucocesion of centuries, which has led her into evil ways, and produced much damage to true religion. In this country the concentration of all church property in the hands of the individual who happens to be at the head of any particular church, is dangerous in the oxtreme. Sach property should be vested always in tho hands of trustees belonging to those churohes, and those trustees should be elected and appointed by the whole congregation, or whole body of the church.

The passage of such a law, therefore, by the Legislature, would bea violation of the first prinsi- ples of liberty, and right, and religious indepen- dence; and the question ought not to be tolerated for a moment by any legislative body im an American community. Lirggaturg axp Humnua.—The Azteo humbag promises to be as eucoessful as those of Joyoo Heth and the Woolly Horse were in theirday. Bar- num has o rival inthe field. We observe thai the International Magazine—which puta en a high claim for science and literature—oommences its number for the present month with a silly puff in faver of the imposture; and tho American Journal of Medical Science, published in Boston, also gives us @ long scientific paper, written by Dr. Warren, on the samosubject. The foundation ef all this terrible exhibit of science and lite- ature originated in a hoax—very like the famoas “‘moon hoax”—printed by Applegate, 111 Nas- sau street, in 1850, and entitled “A Memoir of an Eventful Expedition in Central Amorioa, Reeulting in the Discovery of the Idolatrous City of Iximaya: written in Spanish by Pedro Velasquez, and translated in thia city.” This hoax was written in this cit. by a well known litterateur of that sghool of letters and philosophy. Tho daily newspapers were the first to palm the imposture on the community--now, the magazines tolldw, withall their pomp and pretension. No community was ever 20 gullible ascurs. No matter what comes aleng--Jeyce Heth—Woolly Hors —battle of Slievegammon—spiritual rappiogs—Aszvecdwarfs-— catching the se. serpent—Fejee mermaid—Irish Revolution—Hangsrian ditto—there are always plenty to believe and pay. Great country this! Scengs in ALBANY AND Wasuine ron.—The soenes in Congress and the Legislature, during the last few days—we mean the Senate in Washington and the Assembly in Albany—are by no means creditable to cither of those respectable assemblages. ‘ Trai- ter,” “coward,” “‘liar,”,and such terms of reproach? have been very generally banished even from the newspapers, and can be found in no respectable journal, and only in a few dirty abolition eheets. We believe the only journals in this lati- tude that use such terms, are the Zvibune and the Evening Post, the manners of both savoring vory much of the principal plank in their platform— that is, the sole and exclusive cause of niggerism. Wo aro vory sorry that the southern chivalry, either of South Carolina or Alabama, should be compelled to use the language that has been hitherto monopolised by the abolition and nigger advocates of the North in their controversios with each other. Do reform yourselves Cavaliers! Prooress or Textora.ism.—Since the cause of teetotaliem, with Barnum as its showman, took to the stump @ few weeks ago, it has not made so mech progress as Joyce Heth did in the same time. Atevery tectotal public meeting, the most of those in attendance were women and children, while at the great meeting in Metropolitan Hall, called in opposition to the Maine Liquor law--not against temperatce, but against fanaticism--the number assembling was greater than at all the cezon previous meetings of the teetotallers. ‘here can be no doubt, therefore, but that tectotalism, ag eahibited in the Maine Liquor law, is going back- ward, and will be ewopt from existence in a fow months. The masa of the community are tempo- ratc—-temperate on principle and in point of mora- lity; but they will not allow any law to be passed on the ground that the whole community are drunkarda.
