It is said that every preparation had been made to bring up and carry through the Senatorial election on | the 12th, but that at the last hour one of the new con- verts lost heart and backed out. Just previous to the adjournment, the Governor sent in an awful homily, lec turing the Legislature for defeating every measure of importance, and telling that body very plainly that he | wished to have nothing more to do with it. The Legislature has adopted acts to incorporate a State Agricultural Society, and to appropriate $5,000 a year, for four years, for premiums; to prevent religious corpora- tione from possessing property of which the yearly rent shall exceed $10,000; to request Congress to lay a capita; ‘ion tax on Chinese immigrants. and otherwise discou- rage Chinese immigration; to grant $5,000 to Capt.

On the 8th, Walker advanced to within three miles of the boundary line, and encamped on a hacienda called ‘ La Tiajuanna.”’ The Mexicans were on the surround ing hills. Major McKinstry, of the U. S.

Murder of the Editor of the Police Gazette by a Printer, [Frem the San Francisco Herald, May 12.] We have to chronicle, this morning, another of those bloody scenes which too often transpire in our streets Yesterday evening Mr. Dunn, the proprietor of a paper | lately started here, named the Pacific Police Gatette, was | stabbed in the region of the heart, by a young man named Foley, who had been a printer in his employ. The following are the facts of the case as well as we | could ascertain them:—Foley, but whose real name it is now ascertained is McFarland, was a printer in the office of the Gaceite. He was on a spree all day, and about four o'clock went to the office in Stone street, where Mr. Dunn and his family resided, and conductet him. self in such a manner that Dann was obliged to send | for an MMicer to get him removed. Officer Gates went up for that purpose, and found Foley lying on a table Malt asleep.” He asked Mr. Dunn if be wanted. to | him arrested; to which he replied in the negative, | stating that he only wanted to have him removed | from the house. The officer then ordered Foley to quit, but he refused to do so, till Dunn paid him the monez he owed him. Dunn said he would not give him a cent while he was inthe state he was, but to come when he was sober and he would pay him all he owed him. Foley then left the house, but shortly afterwards returned and | used improper language towards Mrs. Dunn, and conduct- ed himself in such a manner that Dunn was obliged to lay held of him for the purpose of conducting him to the po- lice office. He had succeeded in getting him corner of Washington street, when Fol cane and stabbed Dunn to the heart.

She replied, “In about anhour’s time.” He then remained silent for a time, and afterwards ask- ed Mrs. Dunn to forgive him, at the same time stretch- a out bis hand. At that moment Iunn came in, and Foley retreated out the back door. Dunn said, “D—=n ‘ou, bave you been insulting my wife, again?” and fol- lowed him out to the yard, took him by the collar, and commenced taking him to the station house. Dunn liv- ed only three minutes after he was stabbed. There does not appear to bave been any feelings of animosity be- tween the deceased and Foley. As late as Monday last, Foley was up before the Recorder ona charge of being drunk and disorderly, and was got of through the in- strumentality of Dunn. The following was the verdict found by the Coroner's jury:— injuries received from a sWordcane in the hands of a man named Foley, with intent to take the life of deceased, who was a native of New York, 37 years of age, and leaves 4 wife and family in this city.

[From the Alta California, May 16. There have been several smail showers during the last fortnight in different portions of the mines, thongh there | has been no rain in this city. The waters continue to be favorable to gulch mining, though many of the smaller ravines are beginning to be dry. : This being the favorable scason for prospecting, with the clear warm sun of summer, and the mdtst soil and flowing rivulets of water, there are many rumors of dis- coveries of new diggings. The reports from the new diggings on Russian river are very conflicting. A large number of persons are prospecting there, and 4 few are regularly at work. The Santa Cruz mines are nearly or entirely deserted. Nothing has been said about them by the press for along time. The Santa Anita mines, near Los Angeles, furnish occupation to a few persons: but, all these mines are unimportant as compared with the great mining districts on the waters of the Sacramento and the San Joaquin. ‘A rumor of the discovery of rich diggings in the Coast Range, south of Mount Diablo, and forty or Afty miles east of this city, has causeda good deal of excitement in Santa Clara and Alameda counties, and a number of ad- venturers have left this city to examine the new mines. It is reported that zich diggings have been discovered high up on the sonth fork of the Tuclumne river, and near French Gulch. On the 2dinst., a lump of gold weighing 30 Ibs. 33( oz. was found at Vallecito, in Calaveras county.

In the Panameno Extra, and from private sourees, we read and learn the following:— General Herrera is invested with the executive power. Obando still continues prisoner, together with the Se- cretaries of State. The Vice President, Obaldia, had taken reguge in the American Minister's hou: e. Various rencontres had taken place between Melo and Herrera’s forces. General Herrera is occupied in Tunja, incorporatin, some fifteen hundred armed men, with the Governors o! Velez and Socorro at their head, to operate with him (Herrera ) Genera! Melo, by order of Herrera, has been decreed broken in the army. The constitutional party, as they style themselves, seem very sanguine as to their ultimate success. Vous verrons! The city of Honda was captured by a constitutional arty of 360 citizens, partizans of Herrera. The troops, ‘0 the amount of 70, who occupied the place in favor of Meio, retired on their approaca, contenting themselvea with only Sting: a few shots. Melo had left Bogota, with 600 cavalry and al! his ar- tillery, to give battie to Herrera and Franco, who are in Gipaquira. in yesterday’s Panameno we read a long list of official bulletins, proclamations, &c., on both sides. General Herrera, in an address which he issues, calla on all loyal Granadinos to “haste to the gathering, and to help him to put down the rebels.” In Santa Marta a proclamation had been issued by Jose Maria Lopez, chief of the forces, &c., seconding the mo- tion to support General Herrera against the revolution- ists, and calling on all citizens for aid. In Bogota, Melo had decreed the confiscation of pro. perty belonging to all conspirators, a3 he calls them. All military men who do not join his standard three days after the proclamation are to lave their pensions and pay suspended. Contributions to an enormous amount have been levied on the rich inhabitants of Bogota. According to the “corresponsal”’ of the Panameno, it is surmised that more than half a million of dollars has been exacted. ‘A necret tribunal has been organized to judge all oon- spirators; it is to be considered supreme, allowing no ap- rai; it sentencts todeath all who are found with arms their hands —s Meio.

The information from the capital and vicinity ia most- Me obtained from the messengers of the dictator, and but ttle reliange is placed in them. ‘The principal items of news that may be depended upon, however, are these.
