Mr. Farnum states that the time occupied on the present occasion between San Francisco and New Or- leans—eighteen days—will very soon be shortened several days. Mr. Albert Speyer, bearer of despaches from the city of Mexico to this government, came passenger by the Al- batross, and leaves here for Washington to-night. Among the passengers were also Mr. McRae, late super: intendent of the Mexican telegraph, and the Maretzek opera troupe—Steffanone, Salvi, Marini, &c.—all of whom, together with Mr. Farnum, the special mail agent, go on to New York in the Albatross on Tuesday. The Maretzek opera troupe were offered $8,000 to remain: and give two performances in this city, but they declined. ‘We gather some few additional items from the Califor- nia papers, amongst them the gratifying fact that the mining intelligence is of a highly favoratle character. ‘The census returns show the present population of the State of California to be 224,000. The totalamount collected at the recent election to- towards the Washington Monument Fund was $3,840. From Oregon the news is wholly unimportant. Honolulu dates tothe 1st January had: reached San Francisco, but the news was of no moment. PRIVATE DESPATCH TO 8. DRAPER, ESQ. New Oreans, Feb. 21, 1863.

Advices from Hong Kong had been received at San Francisco to the 11th of December, by the clipper bark Pathfinder. Great excitement prevailed there respecting alleged trafic, by the English, in Coolies, for the West Indies. The Pathfinder brought no political news of importance. The news from the mining districts of California was favorable. ‘The steamer New Orleans goes to Australia. ‘The express from Acapuleo-to Vera Cru, came through in five days and a half. ‘The Albatross had fifty passengers anda full freight. ‘The Italian Opera Company and a part of the Mexican bonndary commission. were passengers.

Sloo & Co. General Uraga and Col. Robles had arrived in tho city of Mexico. President Cevallos, not being able to agree with them, had resigned. General Uraga and the garrison of Mexico immediately pronounced in favor of Santa Anna, and his recall was ordered. General Lombardino is made President ad interim. Some of the papers, however, express the opinion that General Uraga and the garrison are insincere in recalling fanta Anna, General Anastasis Bustamente, three times President of the republic of Mexico, died recently, at his residence near Queretaro. ‘The Minister of Foreign Affairs officially informed me that our contracts are complete. ‘The telegraph broke down from the Balize, We arrived in New Orleans at four o'clock.

HUANTEPEC AFFAIR—THE SPOLIATIONS—RECIPRO- Wasinwaroy, Feb. 22, 1853, The statement in the Seward organs, that the Tehuan- tepec resolutions had only some eight or nine supporters in the Senate, is put forth with a view of trying to create outside opinion against them. The truth is, the resolu-- tions will command a majority whenever voted upon. ‘The Texas Debt bill will be attached to the General Ap- propriation bill. An efort will be made to-morrow to get atthe French Spol'ation bill, by takingit up out of its orderon the Speaker's table. Ido net think the movement will suc- coed, as it will require a two-thirds vote. There is un- doubted?y, a majority in favor of the bill, but it will re- quire careful management to got at it this session. ‘The amendment offered by the Maino members to the Reeiprocity bill, confining its operation to an abrogation of the twenty per cent upon the fisheries being thrown open, has no chance of passing, as it is known the colonists will not agree to it, and its passage would therefore be a waste of time, A revolution requesting the President to megotiate a reciprocity treaty upon @ liberal basis will in all probability be the extent of the legislation this session.

An unforunate sequel to tile late affair between Post- master General Hubbard and the Hon. Geo. Briggs oceur- redat the Capitol to-day. The-parties met in a dark pas- ssge, near the House library. Mr. Hubbard grasped Mr. Briggs’ hand, exclaiming—‘‘Hew ave you Briggs?” Mr. Briggs shook hands, but in a moment discovered his mistake, and, following Mr. Hubbard, met him inthe ante-room leading from the House to the Rotunda, and - said—“I have just shaken hands with you. I wish to re- tract that act of politeness. You have insulted me, and [have publiclyealled you no gentloman.’? Mr. Hubbard answered—‘Just as you please. Deneath my notice.” Mr. Briggs with his left hand immediately slapped Mr. Hubbard's right cheek, saying ‘‘ Will you make no re- sistance t”’ None being offered, Mr. Briggs continued ‘: ve said that you are no honorable msn ‘in . public.” |: Ihave now sapped er face—don’t you resent it ¥”’ Mr. Hubbard replied, ‘Strike away, Briggs ; I shan’t strike baok, for you are beneath my contempt.'” Mr. Beipgt then struck him ony the left side of his pene with his right hand, and repeated the blow once or: twice.

Wasuineton, Feb. 22, 1853. PRELIMINARY BUSINESS—WHAT’S TO BE DONE? The Caair laid before the Senate several executive com-. munications. Several petitions were presented. Mr. Winter, (dem.) of Cal., intzoduced a bill for the settlement of the accounts of tho late Collector of Cali. fornia. Mr. Suaner, (freesoil) of Mass., introduced a bill provi- ding for reciprocal international probatory letterr. Re- ferred, Mr. Gwrx, (dem.) of Cal., said that when the Army Ap- propristion bill was taken up, he would move to add to it the substitute moved by Mr. Brodhead to the Pacific Railroad bill, providing for a survey and exploration of | the country. As that Senator badcontributed greatly to killing the Railroad bill, he would not object to his (Gwin’s) taking his thunder. Br.

Mr. Davis, (whig,) of Mass., reported a joint resolution, exteading, till the tirst of June next, the time for com- plyiag with the act for the regulation of steamboats, in cases where the Inspectors shall think such oxtonsion just and expedient. Also, incases where metallic lifeboats reqpired by the act cannot be obtained, the inspectors ar9 allowed to accept other lifeboats as substitutes. And in eases of steamboats going on excursions of 'ess than thirty miles, the Inspectors may authorize the dispensing of the requisite number of life preservers, when it can be done with safety. No onc-interested in the manufactnre of life preservers is to bo appointed an inspector. |. Mr. Rusk, (dem.) of Texas, said the benefits of this law “bad already been manifasted. This time last year ac counts of accidents had been received by which five ' hundred souls had been hurried into gee No such accident had occurred tis year. This gratifying result. was produced by the care and attention necessary fore compliance with this law. ‘The lifeboats required by the law could be obtainedif steamboat owners desired to dosa Mr. Hamu considered there was 20 difficulty in com plying with the law. if owners thoug’st proper to do so. ‘Mr. Pearce, (whig) of Md., thought the time ought to be extended longer. Mr. Davis said the steamboat owners desired to have it postponed till next year, that «hey might renew, their efiorts for its repeal. Mr. Boniasp, gaem ) of Ark,, said the question was one between the preservation of the lives of tea, wo- men and chilison, and the cupi aty, avarice, and.reckless ness of steamboat owners. He thought there were quite a number of ssrious accidents egeurring on these-excursion boats, and the euspension of, the law as caferring to them would be objected to. Mr. Davudexplained the Lat; and was williag to extend the time to July. Mr. Psance moved to stvike out June, tober. * The debate was continued, embracing (pe merits of the original bill and Francis’ lifeboats. ‘The question was tatan on striking ont June and in sorting Octeber, and,the motion waa rejected, by yeas 14, nays 35. fife, Bortax moved to strike ont the provision allow: ing steamboats, engaged on excuzsion trips, to dispense with the requisite number of life presorvers and registry of passengers, and it was agreed to, by yeas 27, nays net gad insert Oc counted. i Mr. Jamrs, (dem.) of R. £, moved to strike out the revolution abdut lifeboats and insert that steamboats should be provided with the beat lifeboatr. ‘The resolution then passed, as follows:— Pe it Resolved, &e., it it shall be the duty of the Inspectars of steamers to exercise the powers corferred upon them by a joint resolution of Congress, approved the Tthday of January, 1863, subject to all the restric tions and limitations therein contained, provided time granted to applicants shall in no case extend be- yond the lst day of June next. Section Second.—That the Inspectors may approve of boilers and steam pipes made subsequent to the passage of the act approved t! le 3d day of August, 1850, entitled ‘An act to amend an act entitled an act to provide for the better security of the lives of passengers on board of yeseels propelled in whole or in part by steam, and for other purposes,” if the same be not made with stamped iron, provided it shall appear that stamped iron could not be reasonably procured. Section Third.—That the said Inspectors shall hereatier ‘be authorized and empowered, upon satisfactory proof that the owner or owners of a steamer are uhable to obtain reasonably, or upon yasonable terms, a metallic lifeboat, as required by said act, or that such a boat is unsuited to the navigation in which the steamer is em- loyed, to accept, in such case, a substitute or substi- fates for such metalic lifeboat, provided such substi- tute shall, in their je it, afford safe and suitable means of preserving life in case of accident. Section Fourth.—That no person interested as patenteo, manufacturer, d? otherwise in any way, direct or indirect, in life preservers, lifeboats, or any other article required Lost. the law of August 30, 1852, aforesaid, shall ied oo) jent to hold the office of haspeotey or to discharge the duties thereof.

The House agreed to the resolution providing for bind- ing the mapg accompanying the repo:t of the Sup¢rin- tendent of the Coast Survey, and those whictyaccompway the report of the Secretary of the Treasury onthe subject of the British North American colonies. ‘THE RECIPROCITY BILL. The House resumed the consideration of the biil estab- lishing reciprocal free trade with the British provinces on certain conditions. Mr. Furser, (dem.) of Me., resumed his remarks rom a former day, saying the friends of the bill argue im its behalf on the ground that it will promote the manrfac- turing and railroad interests. It is to operate on the trade between the United States and the British provineos, which amounted last year to $18,000,000. He did mt deny that the British free trade project will operate fas yorably onthe manufacturing interests, the elties, an’? reflroads. On the other hand, it is self-evident it will operate injuriously on the interest which he more imme- diately represents. It is for Congress to determine | whetlier the gain will warrant the sacrifice, and who is to be the victim. He then referred to the provisions of the Dill usder censidetatfor, and the questions which they were eee to adjust. The difficulties on the fishing coast, he had learned, were set on foot for the purpose of annoying the United States, and compelling us to go into reciprocity. He was as desirous of settling these questions as the provinces are, for they asa, tasting’ to be an important pea, but not on the ba- sis proposed: He to submit an amond- ment which will give them a fair equivalent. ‘The fisheries are valuable; bat what are fish worth with. out a mari The provinces find here a market for the greater part of their fish, bat de not propose a proper equivalent. The bill ho condemned was called one for reciprocity; but it was not, the silvantages, four to one, being on’ the side of the provinees. All we ask is, he said, to harmonize our interests, amd treat us all fairly. Mr. Sante, (whig) of Mass., offered a substitute for the bill under consideration, and to regulate the taking, curing and selling of'fish, and the-oil obtained therefrom, between the inhabitants of the- United States and the inhabitants of the British" pomsossions of Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, including Cape Breton, New- foundland, and Prince Edward Island, and the depen. Goncics of saidposxeasione. Ho said there could be no raeasure of reciprocity matured during the few days ro- tasining of the present Congra: } teat he was desi- rous at least of patching up/-tie-fishing difficulty until the new administration could bave-time to act upon the whole subject. Mr. ‘Tuck, (whig) of N. Hj asked not to votevagainst the bill until they had attentively examined it. The first authority, in relation to reciprocity, came from James K. Polk, late President of the United States. The xecond authority was James Bachanaa, who recom- mended the matter with respeet'to the Canadas. It has been fortified by the authority of-previous Congresses, and now comes here ibewd fortified. We have an op- portunity of accepting the tarms: generously offered by Great Britain and her colonice- upon the: subject, and of peas So difficulties arising out of the fishery ques- tion. Unless this shall now be adjusted, be feared that there would be danger of bloodshed on tie fishing const next summer. He would cet the questica on broad na- tional and not on sectional grounds, as was sought by the gen@emanm who preceded him» in’ debate. gentle. man’s proposition was for the. purpose of defeating, not insu-ing, the passage of the bill under consideration. gag ‘The morning hour expired...

From an acquaintance formed with Mr. G. while he was the presiding officer of tho constitutional conven- tion in Kentucky, in 1849, the writer became strongly impressed with the belief that he was destined to occupy a prominent place in the governmental affairs of the coun- try. Mr.G. isa Union democrat, in the most. liberal senso, and unites to commanding talents aad an iatimate acquaintance with the wants and resources of the whole country, manners the most urbane and prepossessing.

MR. JAMES CAMPBELL, OF PENNSYLVANIA. {From the Harrisburg Democrat.] Among all the rumors in regard to the cabinet of General Pierce, we still, find the name of, James Camp- bell of Pennsylvania, sometimes put forth as the to-be Attorney General, and sometimes as the intended Seereta- ry of the Navy. But who ix James Campbell ¢ Let us answer this question. Mr. Campbell is now the Attorney General of the State of Pennsylvania, or, in other words, the legal adviser of his Excellency Mr. Big ir. ler, Governor of that democratic Commonwealth. Campbell, previous to his acceptance of his present was a judge of one of the Philadelphia courts, (we ret which;) and waa univorsally admitted to be honest, wp- right, able, learned.and popular. He was a candidate for the bench at the late election, but was defeated through the malicious intrigues of certain persons, who, feari his talents and his popularity, misropresented m¢ grossly his principles and opinions. Mr. Campbellis yet young, He can hardly be more thar. thirty. Yet, he hag nct only made his mark in the world, but, it is very clear, is destined to become one of the inost distinguished mea of our time and country. He is one of the most. active spirits of the age. He cool, culm, clear minded, energetic, warm hearted and talented. ‘Asa public maa, few have more and better claims to eminenee—he is an eloquent 4] " "’ fluent, well inforiwced and reliable. He is discreet, cau- tious, sagacious, well vorsed not only in books, but in a knowledge of mankind, and Deco? ina ble degree the happy faculty of a ng himself to. all per- sons and all places with ready facility. As a politician he bold, straight forward, uncompromlaingty cratic, and on all occasions has proved himself both with his pen and his voice to be a true champion of the popu- lar rights, a fast friend of civil and religious freedom.

Q. How came his general cha- racter to be the subject of conversation in your presence? A. He had been a witnoss ina law suit which was pub- lished inthe papers, and so people talked of him ; only heard three persons, Mr. Lemuel W.
