Single copies, in wrappers, skxpenee. will The New: The steamship Northern Light, from San Juan, which arrived at an early hour yesterday morning, brought us two weeks later intelligence from Califor- nia, which will be found in full in our columns this morning. By this arrival we learn that nearly two illions of dollars is on the way to this city, in the mail steamship, that sum having been shipped in | the Oregon, which left San Francisco on the Ist instant. Two more destructive conflagrations have visited the enterprising towns of Shasta and Rough and Ready, one of which destroyed property in the former city to the amount of $237,000, and in the latter only fifteen houses of all descriptions were left standing. But what of that? Neither fires nor floods seem to check in the least the advancing spirit of the inhabitants of the new State, or dampen their ardor or stay an abiding ambition to make the shores of the Pacific rival those of the Atlantic in point of commercial greatness. A horrid murder has been committed in Sacramento by a man named Strible, upon bis brother's wife, and an attempt also to kill his brother, and to end his own existence at the came time. He succeeded ia cleaving his brother's head, and cutting his own throat, but both at last accounts were still alive, though in a very critical condition. A couple of editors have been amusing themselves at Yuba City by firing at each other with rifies at fifty paces. Fortunately no blood stained the grass beneath their feet, and the affair ended with the loss of the coat tail of one of the principals. Who are the next customers? The Democratic State Convention have devided to try Governor Pigler for re ¢lection in the next campaign. We are informed that strong hopes were entertained some time since, among the democratic party, that the Governcr would get an appointment under the general government, and that he would thus be taken ont of the State; but such good fortune did not attend them, and they were obliged to put him up again for Governor. The population of the State is largely on the increase. We see by the statisti:s, that during the six months from January to July there was an excess of arrivals over departures, at San Francisco, of more than nine thousand persons, and we may add fully that number of emigrants by the overland routes, making an addition of eighteen | thousand to the population of the new State daring | ‘he last six months. The mines are represented as being still worked with the usual success, and the miners are in a healthy and prosperous condition. ‘The news is interesting. News from Sonora represents the condition of that State as the most deplorable. The government was | powerless to prevent the outrages of the Indians» | and the inhabitants were anxiously awaiting the | time when they might throw off the Mexican yoke. | At La Paz activity prevailed in the saltworks, &c. | We have received files of Jamaica papers, and also | | | Clay’s district ; and if they lose it, the the importance of having the records arranged under asimple and secure system must be apparent to every person whose duties call them to that deart- ment. The credit of the origin of the suggestions is due to Mr. Recorder Tillou, who manifests an untir- ing zeal for simplifying official intricacies and cor- recting existing abuses. ‘The news by the Arctic had the effeet of depressing breadstuffs yesterday. Common and fresh ground brands State flour declined twelve cents per barrel; wheat declined two to three cents per bushel; sound merchantable cornjbeing scarce, prices were un- changed; cotton was quiet, with little doing, at unchanged prices. By telegraph from Charleston we learn that the steamship Isabel had arrived at that port from Ha- vana and Key West. Some interesting maritime intelligence is received, but not a word from Ha- "The Pennsylvania Fugitive Slave case grows inter- esting. Yesterday afternoon Marshal Wyukoop pro- duced the body of the alleged fugitive, who was committed to prison to answer the charge pending in the State Court, and also to await the cla.m of the Marshal. ‘The furnace, machine shop, pattern shop, aud railroad manufactory of Hiram Woodruff, at Water- town, N.Y., were entirely destroyed by fire on Satur- day night. Loss estimated’ at not less than fifty thousand dollars, about twenty thousand of which is covered by insurance. Mrs. Bradley, the wife of a respectable citizen of North Haven, was murdered on Sunday last. The family had gone to church, and on their return | found her upon the floor dead, stabbed and cut in a shocking manner, and the house robbed. Michael Jennings, a young Irishman, formerly in the employ of Mr. Bradley, was arrested on suspicion of being the murderer. The Board of Education, at its last session, in- creased the salaries of the professors in the Fr @ Academy. This is right and proper. Hon. Hezekiah C. Seymour, late Engineer-in-Chief of this State, died on Sunday, at his residence at Piermont, aged 42. The August Elections—Party Troubles and Paity Prospects, On Monday, the Ist of August. the annual political elections will be held in the following States, to wit :—Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri. and Texas; on the 4th of August. Tennessee will follow, and on the 11th, the good old-fashioned State of North Carolina, which will complete the list for the month of August. In Alabama there is a Governor and a whole Congressional delegation to be elected. Winston, secessionist, is the democratic guber- natorial candidate. The whig candidate, Mr. Walker, had declined ; but his declination not | having been accepted by the Central Commit- tee, his name is still kept flying at the mast- head of the journals of his party. There are also two independent democratic candidates, of the Union stripe, running against Winston, Yet, according to an admission of the Mobile Advertiser, Winston, “under the present cir- cumstances, considering the diversity of the opposition, will prebably be elected.” Walk- er’s declination, it is supposed, will hurt him seriously. The opposition to the regularly nominated democratic candidates for Congress consists of a Mississippi mixing of independent Union democrats and whigs; but the general result, be it one way or the other. will probably be of no general importance. And the same may be said of the Congressional election in Arkansas, and the local elections in Indiana and Iowa. In Kentucky the campaign is lively. The whig party there is still upon its legs, though it was sadly crippled last November. Several important Congressional issues are here to be decided. First, the whigs are making a tre- mendous effort to recover Mr. Clay’s district from Mr. Breckenridge, who, at the last can- vase, was handsomely elected over Gen. Leslie Coombs, the most enthusiastie and astonishing Clay man in all the State. Now, ex-Governor Letcher, late Minister to Mexico, is pitted against Breckenridge, and the issue is regarded as close and doubtful. Breckenridge is a young man of talents, has returned from Washington with increased popularity, and has the influ. ence of the adwinistration to back him; and his party have also the prestige of a majority, already of upwards of sixty in the next House | | of Representatives, to encourage them. But the | | men whigs are resolved. if possible, to recover Mr, citadel is gone. And yet they may lose it. Lian | Boyd, one of the oldest members of the House. | is up again, not only for a ion, bat for | the Speakership, counting, doubt, upon his | district with inevitable certainty of success. | Possibly, however, Jefferson Brown, an inde- pendent democrat, supported by the whigs, may disappoint him. But it looks ominous for thé a letter from our Kingston correspondent, datedy WHigs, even of Kentucky, to see them fighting down to the 12th inst. The papers do not contaia fany local or political news of interest to the Amen- | can reader. The yellow fever, which had prevailed | among the shipping in the port of Kingston, had abated considerabiy after heavy rains. A considera- tion of the difficulties existing between the House of Assembly and the Executive occupied the attention of the journals. The Governor of Jamaica had issued a special | Commission of Assize, in consequence of the | illness of the Hon. Justice Macdougal. A new | process for improving the qnality of sugar is much recommended. The inter-colonial intelligence which is brought was anticipsted by direct advices | received at our office, but the letter of our correspon- dent gives a graphic sketch of the progress of affairs | to the above mentioned date. The article upon the “Sale of Cuba” is very interesting. From Venezuela we learn that it was probable the Camana insurrection against President Monagas, would be suppressed in that quarter. In Valentia and in the interior the government had been sne cessful. A strong force, under Jose TadeoMonagas had been collected, to march against Cumana From these difficulties’ Maricaibo had not thus far felt any inconvenience. Rio Janeiro papers to the 20th ult. have heen re- ceived, but contain nothing upon Buenos Ayres affairs. Advices froma Pernambuco to the 23th ult. state that the cargo of the ship Charles Mallory would probably be saved, but the vesee! was a total lows. By the arrival yesterday of the brig Kate Foster, Capt. Kiiburne, from Giand Key, (Lurks Islands,) we learn that salt was very scarce. “The governmeut is tnovin, last for the protec. tion of the rights of our fishermen. The ste Fulton and Princeton, and the sloop-of-war De sailed yesterday afternoon from Kittery navy yard, for the fishing grounds. The eight A.

Tf they are defeat- ed in this contest, we may expect to see them as a last resort, fall back upon the Maine liquor law for a new diversion, just as W. H. Seward mounted the hobby of anti-masonry ia this State, some twenty-five years ago. Tn Missouri, two members of Congress are to be seleeted, and the only real interest in the re- sult lies between the two cat and dog democratic factions known as the Benton and aati-Benton cliques. The whigs will be likely to step ia be- tween them, which, under the cirenmstances. we suspect is eminently desirable at Washir Benton is bound to give the ‘ softs’? a Roland for an Oliver before he is done with them; aud it would be kest for the administration to pre- serve in this business tha udent position of “masterly inactivity” which has been so jadi- ciously taken by its Washington organ. As it is, we are not quite sure that Old Bullion will not carry the war into the cabinet after the meeting of Congress. In Texas, a Governor and members of Con- gress are to be chosen. There are nine d ratic candidates up for Governor whig: yet such is the str democracy in Texas, that the chances are in favor of one of the nine demoorats being elected. The only conclu we draw from t there would not be n for Gos uable wealth, cratic candidates running Texas, if there were any vo known to exist in the comme In Tennessee, a Governor aud a full Congres- sional delegation are to be elected.

The ive of the offensive warfare of the generel contest in Tennessee, as in ihely unmeasured condemnation of e freesoil and secession appointments of the tration. It the whigs, therefore, are ful beyond their reasonable expecta- tion, the administration will ynderstand the why and the wherefore: if they fail, the hard tiinent fei pr whigs in t reky, i succe shells in this region may as well make up their minds at once to the final policy of resistance or submission. In this view, the elections of Kentucky and Teneesee are of more than ordi- nary moment in reference to the future recon- struction of parties throughout the country—a reconstruction which appears inevitable. be- tween this time and the national campaign of 1856. In North Carolina, the Governor, State officers and Congressmen are to be elected ; but the cream of the whole controversy lies in the two districts represented for years respectively by Venable (secession anti-Cuba democrat,) and Clingman (free trade, Southern rights, inde- pendent democratic whig.) Each of these gen- tlemen has now to confront a whig and a democratic candidate; but the result is more directly a matter of local and personal. than general concern, whatever it may be. These two cases, however, from the complications they involve. may contribute their tull proportion to the breaking down of the old party organizations throughout the country. That the disintegra- tion of the democracy is about to commence in North Carolina is pretty evident from the pre- sent wranglings and bickerings and open- mouthed discord among the party presses and candidates throughout the State. How far the whigs may remain intact, with nothing behind them and nothing before them, the election will determine. Such are the State elections for August. They have but few points of general interest, and they are not very strictly defined or advan- tageously located for a full judgment. The October and November elections in Ohio, Penn- sylvania, New York, Georgia, Mississippi, and elsewhere, will have a more potent and expres- sive signification than those of August. As far as Congress is concerned, any further contest on the part of the whigs is mainly an individual affair, for the pay and mileage; for, with a ma- jority of sixty-two already, the democrats are utterly beyond the reach of whig soundings. What we expect is. that before the meeting of Congress the intervening State elections will foreshadow the final breaking up of the old effete party lines. and a new arrangement of things for 1856; and it is possible that we may have some inklings to this effect in the elections of August. } sam Gur Home Commissioners—Reports from New England. In another column will be found a fresh communication from our New England Com- missioner. We wish to draw attention to the paper, as it is one of a series, which, in our opinion, is deserving the careful study of those who take an interest in the progress and wel- fare of the various sections of this great country. Itis an undoubted. and at the same time, a pain- ful truth, that, though Americans are unques- tionably the greatest travellers in the world— though it is rare to meet with a man who has not. at some time or other. traversed the great- est part of the Union—we are generally. as a people, sadly deficient in acquaintance with the condition and resources of our own country. We ali know something of some State or other. Our native place is familiar to us, and to fol- low its progress with a watchful eye is a labor of love. But our neighbors are treated with more indifference; and as we wander further from our home, our interest diminishes, and our entered their souls. What they felt they said; what they promised they did. Whatever historians and philosophers may say, these men of New England had undergone perils and toils incredible, to found a State accord- ing to their own views, and they were as- suredly free to establish such laws as they deemed essential for the preservation of union and peace. A law-respecting. order-lovingy God-fearing race, they have thriven beyond the wildest anticipations of their forefathers: Whether they have devoted their energies to the toils of the sea, or the labor of the loom. or the cultivation of the earth, or the gares of merchandise, they have succeeded in every call- ing beyond any of their rivals, and stand this day the proudest monument to the inherent worth and energy of the old Roundheads and Independents of England and Scotland. The records of sucha race cannot fail but please. Tue Mission To France—Inportant tr TRUE Several months ago, our special correspondent at Washington announced that General Dixhad been agreed upon as Minister toFrance. Since that time the question has been a mystery. It is now said that General Dix only consented to accept the sub treasury as a temporary re- lief to the President till he could hit upon somebody else to take the place; and some of the Washington newsmongers are quite confi- dent that he is still the man for France, and that he knows it. But it is further reported that the appointment of this minister will not be proclaimed till after the August elections, for fear of damages in Kentucky and Tennes- see, This would seem to point at General Dix and the Buffalo platform. Can the Washington Union give us the required information upon these points? Is General Dix to be the Minis- ter to France?—has his appointment been re- solved upon, and is it withheld from publication for the present, for fear ofdamages in Kentucky and Tennessee? We can hardly believe it; but how is it? Plan for Arrunging and Indexing the Recor¢s of the Recood Office. The records affecting real estate now consist of the conveyances, mortgages, and instruments, on record in the Register’s office, comprising upwards of 1,037 volumes; also of the records of wills, of letters testa- mentary and of administration, and decrees of the “Surrogate, on record in the Surrogate’s office, com- pricing 104 volumes; and of the dockets of judgments, mechanics’ liens, &c., in the County Clerk's office, comprised in about twenty-six volumes; in addition to the liens for taxes and assessments, the entries whereof are in the Street Commissioners’ and Comp- troller’s offices, and the loans from the State, which are recorded in the office of the Loan Commissioners. To accomplish a necessary search for title and in- cumbrances in these various offices, requires a delay, difficulty, labor and expense so great as to amount, in cases of moderate transaction and as to persons of moderate means, to a prohibition; the difficulty and expense isincreasing rapidly, and unless soon remedied, searches will become generally next to im- practiceble. It is suggested by Mr. Recorder Tillou that, by law, the records of the Surrogate’s and Loan Com- missioners’ offices be united to the Register's office, and placed under charge of the Register; that, by law, the dockets of all judgments, received from and after the day to which the indexes shall be com- pleted, and all other judgment liens, in the clerk’s office, and all liens of taxes and assessments, shall not, by iaw, be liens cr encumbrances on real estate unless docketed in the Register’s office, which office, information becomes less reliable and more scanty. What Virginian is familiar with the manufactures of Massachusetts? What Con- necticut farmer can describe the soil of Georgia? Where is the Western man who would feel at home on the quay at New Orleans? Where is the Southerer who has a respectable acquaintance With the trade of Maine? Yet all these various States are partners in the great firm of the Union. Their interests are undivided and inseparable ; their prosperity depends directly upon their close attachment to each other. Ruled by the cabinet and governed by the same au- thorities. the separation of State from State is a mere conventional arrangement, accompanied by no practical consequences, so fur as the federal government is concerned. The same are called upon to decide the fate of Florida and New Hampshire. of Minnesota and Vermont. How unfit must they he for their task if their kaowledge is limited to one or other of these territories ! An equal share of ignorance prevails among our citizens generally with respect to the con- dition of the distant States. Some are familiar with the South, others with the West; some haye dealings with the East only. and others know ricthing beyond the North. Tew if any can hoast of a tolerable acquaintance with all the various sections of the country. We ap- plaud vociferously when a speaker at a public nieeting tells us that he knows “no North, no South, no East, no West.’ How shallow our appreciation of the sentiment, what a sham our bravos, if we are really ignorant of the wants and the hopes, the peculiarities and the inter ests of the various sections we would blend in | one whole! To assist in supplying our deficiency of ics formation in this respect, we have despatche@, | within the past few wecks, commissioners to | cach of the chief sections of the Union, and one to Canada, which, commercially speaking, may | be fairly regarded as one of the States, Hither- | to our New England commissioner has been the only one whose letters have attracted much attention among the pablic. His colleagues will not be long behindhand. however ; aud meanwhile, the reports we have received from | Maine and Massachusetts will not have been | without fruit. Our Southern readers, especially, | will have learned from them much that was new, ond much that was valuable, respecting a tract of country with which they are perhaps less r than with the boulevards of Paris or ihe streets of London.

In the afternoon the brig Lucy, Captain A. P. Weeks, arrived from the same port, whence she sailed on the evening of the 20th ult. The news by these vessels is six days later. We have received files of the Jornal do Comercio and the Diario de Rio de Janeiro to the 20th, in- clusive, for which we have to thank Captain Weeks. The papers are filled with reports of the proceedings ofthe Houses of Legislature and other local matters; but on the subject of the Buenos Ayrean hostilities, or anything else of interest, they contain not a word of intelligence. The chip John Jay, Captain Fowland, also arrived yesterday, with advices from Pernambuco to the 28th of June. The captain reports that the cargo of the ship Charles Mallory would probably be saved, but the vessel was a total loss. About five hundred barrels of her cargo were landed on the 28th, and conveyed to Pernambuco. The cargo was from the ships Betsey Williams, and Newark, of Stonington; Huntsville, of Cold Spring; Ontario, of Sag Harbor; and Phoenix, of New Bedford. The « Wild Sports” of New York, AN INFURIATED COW AND THE LASSO—SKILL AND +COURAGE OF A BOY. About seven o’clock yesterday evening, an exceedingly large stall fed cow was being driven along the North river ede near the foot of Canal street, in this eity. The ani- mal became suddenly frightened at some passing object, and after a few exciting lnshes of her tail, and a couple of premonitory bounds, by way, we suppose, of warning to the passers by, she started off at full speed, ruoning into and up Canal street. Many attempts were made to stop her, but all in vain, the interraptions seemed only to exeite her ire, and on she dashed exhibiting, whut is now almost an every day occurrence in our streets, the rpectacle of a regular prairie buffalo hunt in one of our most crowded thoroughfares. During her progress up Canal street several persons were knocked down, and we have heard that some were seriously injured, but owing to the cvllecting crowd we could not ascertain their names, or the extent to which they were hurt. Coming to the corner of Broadway, the animal faced down towards the Battery in a perfectly wild state, until she came opposite the City Ha!l Park into which she rushed, followed by an immen.e crowd. Here the scene exceeded any ever imagined by Maxwell or Gordon Cumming in their most flighty idea of the “Wild Sports of the West.” Is was just eight o’clock in the evening, and nearly two thousand persons wer em bled, each and all endeavoring to capture or kill the ani- mal, which had now become perfectly savage, and jumped over the enclosure chains, tearing up shrubs and flowers in the wildest manner. At this juncture, Mr. Matthew Gooderson, Ceroner Gam- bie, Mr, Adams, (one of our expert firemen,) and some others, repaired to Mr. Gooderson’s house, opposite, and precured a long, ateut rope, with a view of securing the beast. They were well assisted in their endeavor by the assembled people, but did not succeed, and just as the animal was preparing to rush a second time into the street, the feat, which baflled the herculean strength of Matt. Gooéerson, the activity of the Coroner, and foiled the courage of the crowd, was performed by a little boy not quite fourteea years of age. At this critical juncture, a Californian boy, named Joze Antoine de Ia Creiz, now residing in Broadway, near Tenth street, raid to Mr. Gooderson, “Give me the rope, I'll lasso and throw her.”’ The people looked at him in amazement, but the rope was given to him with some feer. Mr. Gooderson lifted him near to the animal, and when the boy had adjusted the noose, be courageously edged up closer to her, and after twirling the end round his head, in real hunter style, he threw the lasso on one cf Wer horns, which she immediately disengaged. Nothing aunted, the lad paused, a few more whirls of the rope, the noose fell, canght the animal securely, and in the twinkling of an eye the ensaged brute lay stretched be side her juvenile conquerer, who was borne on the shoul- ders of the crowd in triumph to Mr. Gocderson’s house. ‘We have tahen pains to record this case in justice to this brave lad. The lives and limbs of our citizens are heurly endangered by the carcless driviag of cattle through the streets, to which the authorities give no at tention. The courage of a bay, by whose skill and ener- gy, perhaps, some yaluatle life was raved, certainly de- serves that his name should be known to the public, The corporation may not bave him always on hand. CasTLE Garpen Orgra.—‘Sonnambula” is so familiar to the public of New York that it is barely possible to record its reprise by the Maretzek troupe in language porsersing any claim to originality. Not only ace the great airs in the piece 28 well known as Mail Coluambi . but all the leading performers who appeared last even ing have already been seen in the rame parts; and we might now fulfil our task by turcing to the Heratp of last winter, and reprinting the opinion we then pro- pounced on their performance. One—and oaly one—— rovelty is worth noticing. The choruses were better than we have ever heard them. As most, if not all the vocalists who compose them filied tho same capacity, when they were far from efficient, it is fair to at- tribute the improvement to tne direction of Max Maret zek. It is not the least of the triumphs he has achieved.
