This is no less than a total abandonment of thi ith the view of rettling in the State of Sonora native Californisps was held o. Wedne city, at which Governor Alvarado i sided, and Senor Casanueva to have The object was to device means for igre. tion of native Californians to Sonora Several speeches were made, in which it was suown that by reason of the law's delay—of the invasion of squatters—of burden- some taxes—and of other mwultitudinous oppreasions, the native Californians, without any fauit of theirs, are ra- pidly being reduced to beggary on the soil they once owned and enjoyed uninterruptedly; that the lands their fathers held, and which they expected would descend to their posterity for ever, are now wrested from them on some quibble raised by athievish attorney—that they are kept in doubt for years whether their claims will be confirmed or rejected —that they are required to pay onerous taxes on lands while the same lawa which imposes those taxes Lt squatters to occupy and enjoy; that they are treate] as jiens on the gol on which they were boro; and finally, that there is no such thing as justice to he expected in California by tl ative Californian. It was represented g that there would be no difficulty in ob- taining grants of land in Sonora from the Méxisan go- vernment, and that to remain longer here, involves absolute ruin, it is better to seek an asylum where at least they would not be regarded aa aliens and as a con venient prey for any ruffian who might covet their Jan and houses, A committ as appointed to devise m for carrying into effect the purpore of the meoting, thie committee is to report at a mieting to be held one or two evenings hence. This movement is a sad com- mentary on the manner in which justice is dealt to the natives of California, Indian Outrages. SIX WHITE MEN KILLED—TWO FERRY BOATS OUT AWAY~—THE INDIANS WELL ARMED. {From the Crescent Herald, Jan. 31.) By way of Trinidad we receive the startling intelli- gence of an Indian war on the Klamath. From letters sent here through some friendiy Indians, we are permitted to make the following extracts: ‘TRINIDAD, Jan. 224, 1855, The greatest excitement exista here. Ths Redcap In- dians have murdered six white men, viz: Thomas O'Neal, Proctor, Danahan, Wheeler, Jack Smith, anda Dutch- man; several more are wounded. The whites have burnt Stone Rancheria, and killed five Indians at the mouth of nl and caution persons against coming down by land. | Twenty men have just errived, who say that the up-river Indians have come down on the coast, and are determined to pick of all lone travellers; a party of four is hardly safo, as the Indians bave rifles Another letter of the same data says:—I shall start the two Indians that came down with me to-night, and hope they may reach Crescent City in safety, although I think it exceedimely doubtful, as the whites are shoot- ing them whenever an_ opportunity offers; for this rea- son, T start them in the night, hoping they may bs out of danger ere morning. Onthe Klamath the Indians have killed six white men, and, I understand some stock. From the Sa'mon down, the whites are in arms, with a determination, I believe, if possible, to destroy all the grownup males, notwithstanding this meets with the op- position ot some few who have favorite Indians among them. I doubt whether this discrimination should be made, as some who have been considered gooi have proved the most treacherous. I understand that the ferry of Mr, Boyce, as also that of Mr, Simms, has beon cut away. Messrs. Norton and Beard have moved their femilies from E)k Camp to Trinidad; they were the only white females in that section that’ were exposed to the savages. I have no doubt there will be warm times on the Klamath for some weeks, as the Indians are nume roua, well armed, and determined to fight. THE KLAMATH INDIAN DIFFICULTY. We take the following additional information in refer. ence to the recent Indian difficulties on the Klamath, from the an Francisco Herald: Tho Herald obtained the news from an eye witness of the whole transaction, and we doubt not can be relied on as a correct statement. It appears that a portion of the whites had traded off some fire arms among the Indians, to which soma of the others were opposed, and afterwards endeavored to re- cover possession of them. -A partof the Indians at once gave up their arms, and those who did not comply with the demand were ordered to 40 80 before the expiration of four days, or else their camps would be set on fire. The specified time having transpired, and as thora were from forty to fifty of the Indians who would not give up their arma, the whites proceeded to carry their threat into execution, when-they were attacked by the Indians, who killed five and wounded two of their opponents Kutixp.—Chas, K Proctor, of Proctorsvilie, Vt. ; Chan - ler H. Dunbam, of Plymouth, Mass.;Wm. Wheeler, Wads- worth county, Wis. ; Thos, O'Neil, of New Orleans; John Smith, of St. Domingo Wounnen,—Wm. Lamb, of Oregon, and Mr. Johnson, of Mississippi, were mortally wounded. MORE INDIAN DEPREDATIONS. We learn, says the Los Angelos Californian, our valley is once more infested by hostile savages from that nest of horse thieves, Owen’s Lake; parties of them are known to b lurking about, awaiting an opportunity to run off stock. It is now about eight months since the last extensive foray made by these ras¢als, during which time our rancheros have enjoyed an uuprecodented security and freedom from their depredatiens. It will be recollected that Lieut. Beale, when Superin- tendent of the Tejon Reservation, hal an interview with this tribe, and by the prompt and energetic measures he pursued, ‘deterred them froma further prosecution of heir horse thievisg excursions, and during his time and up to the present, ne single excursion has been made by them to this valley. ‘The fact that a period of eight months, a lapse of time unprecedented hitherto, these Indians have been induced to let us alone, shows conclusively the beneficial effects of the influence that Lieut. Beale brought to bear upon them, and is a proof that if the same efforts had been continued and carried out, that they would still have continued peaceable and quiet. Miscellaneous. Tux Exprosion OF THX STEAMER PeaRi.—Mork Bopres Founp.—The Sacramento Stale Journal of the 2d ult., says inquests were held on two more bodies recovered on Thursday. One has been recognized as M. T. Porter, cook of the Pearl. The other is supposed to be J. Stat- ler, The latter is five feet nine inches in height, had gray eyes, dark hair and whiskers, and a large scar on the right leg, Just above the ancle. He was dressed ia heavy cotton pants, blue over shirt and red under-shirt. In his pockets there were found cein tothe amount of $146 80, acheck on Adams & Co., San Francisco, for $800, receipt for a claim ed T. Baxter, &c. He was apparently a miner from Shasta, aged betweea thirty- five and forty yeara. We learn from the Sacramento Union that the Coroner held an inquest on the 3d on the body of ‘Thomas Sheridan, a native of England, aged thirty years, one of thore wounded by the explosion of the Pearl. He died in the hospital. The ceaths resulting from this ca- lamity now number sixty-seven, 80 far as ascertained. ‘The steamer Pearl having been raised, left for the bay on Saturdey, in tow of the Orient, to be thoroughly repaired and receive new boiler, OreraTions OF THR San FRaNctsco BRaxca MINT DURING Tue MoNTH ov JANUARY, 1865 Before Melting.

OBSEQUIES OF THE LATE ‘KING—-INSTALLATION OF THE KING KAMEHAMEHA IV.--HIS ADDRSSS TO THE FOREIGNERS, ETU. We bave advices from Honolulu to January 15—three weeks later, They are quite interesting, 3 ‘The funeral of the late king, Kamehameha, took place on the 10th o* January. The csremonies were of t! most imposing character. The procession was by far t! largest ever witnessed in the Islan upward: of half a mile, and composed of not less than five tho sand persons, Upwards of fifteen thousand of the inha- Ditants of Oahu and the adjacent islands were assembled to witness it, All the public bodies, andall in any man- ner connected with the government participated in the ceremonies. ‘The next day Kamehameha IV. made his first public appearance as king, in the large mative church, The Inte king’s will was read, and the new king then took the following oath, administered by Hon. William L. Lee, Chancellor of the Kiogdom:— jolemnly’awear, in the a of Almighty God, to maintain the constitution of toe kingdom whole and in- — and to govern in con‘ormity with that and the laws. Immediately afterward, his Highness the Kuhina Nul, repeated the words, ‘God preserve the King!” which were re-echoed Figg tee the church with loud cheers; his Majesty’s royal dard and the national ei were hoisted, and a royal salute fired from the fort. f- terwards the king made # solemn and eloquent address, in native, to his subjects, which was received by them with great enthus: 4 In concluding this address, he says:—On my pert I endeavor to give you a mill and liberal govern ment, but at the same time one sufficiently vigorous to maintain the laws, sccure you in all your rights of per od y, and not too feeble to withstand th saulta of faction.

OUR KEY WEST CORRESPONDENCE, Key West, Feb, 22, 1855. Accident to the Steamer San Jacinto—Successful Cruise— Intelligence from St. Domingo—Renewal of the Florida War, de. The United States steam frigate San Jacinto, Com: C, K. Stribling, arrived at this port at sunset of the 19th instant from St. Domingo and St, Thomas. A few hours previous to her arrival the last blade of her pro- peller was broken, and fell off, rendering the engine of no service, and she was brought in under her sails alone, The other blades were broken, the one off the Texal, the second in the Bay of Biscay. The San Jacinto sailed from Philade)phia early in the spring of ’54 for the Baltic, to test the strength snd value of her engine. It was proved to be one of groat power, and has worked to the admiration of all on board —it has proved fuulty in no parficular, The propeller alone has failed, only the stern or shaft remaining. Witn one blade the ship has made over seven knots, and under sail alone her speed is rated at ten knots, as much as twelve has been logged. She has visited the following ports during the cruise— Southampton, England, twice; Bordeaux, where the Hon. Pierre Soulé waa received’ on board, en route for Macrid; Santander, Sprin; Gibraltar, Madeira, Marti- nique, 'St. Thomas, St. Gruz twice, St. Domingo City, Grand Cayman, and lastly Key West. She was at St. Thomas on the d of February. ‘The steamer Fulton, Captain Mitchel, left the same cay for Martinique, She was to cruise among the islands for the Albany. Tho San Jacinto hove to off St. Domingo, and sent Lieut.

Haines will command the first expedition, which will be organized at Miami, The caroes will be used in crossing the everglades, which are now in fine boating condition, We may expect to hear important results from this undertaking. If the Indians are not troublesome, vo notice will be taken of them. Surveyors will at once go into their territory, roads will be cut by the soldiers, and the whole lower peninsula, containing millions of acres of the best sugat and rice jand in the United States, will bs thrown into market Should the expedition meet with opposition wedo not know what steps the War Department will take; time only can determine. ¢ Key West, Feb, 27, 1855, Proclamation of the Spanish Consul—The Fortyfications at Key West—Departure of the San Jacinto for Havana —Preparations for Removing the Seminoles, dc. ‘The accompanying proctamation baa been issued and published by the resident Spanish Consul at this place. ‘The steamer Isabel arrived here on the afternoon of the 25th inst. from Havana, and reported great excitement prevailing throughout the Island of Cuba, in apprehen- sien of a hostile invasion being about to sail from some point on the Florida coast. The army had been largely increased, daily dr lls were taking place, and the utmost activity prevailed. There has been no intelligence re- cetved at this point of any movement in this vicinity.

About an hour after Captain De Brissot left this place, three canoes, with some forty armed men, left and went in pursuit of him, with the full determination of murdering every one of the party. ‘The whole town was in a great state of excitement, the cry was “Death to Americans,” and it was not safe for an American te be teen out of doors. Such was the state of the excitement, and the eminent danger ia which Captain De Brissot and his Lirok was in, that Coptsin C. C. Hornsby, late of the United States army, avd Mr. Charles Thomas, of Granada, called upon Mr. J. H. Wheeler, the United States Minister who is living at the consulate with Mr. J. W.

Tnx Finst Scnpay IN Sprinc—Unrieasant Contrasts, —The weather yesterday was everything that could be éesired, mild, warm and sunny, with just breeze enough to liftthe curls from a lady’s cheek,for cause herribbons to futter gracefully while tripping along. ‘The streets were filled during ‘the afternoon with crowds of the aily adorned butterflies of both sexes, going to and re- ‘urning from church, or pretending todo so, and enjoying themeelves as best they might Fifth avenue and Broad- way presented an animated scene as the glittering thror swept along all anxious to see and to be seen. Evidences o} theapproach of spring are thickening around us. The days already seem unusually long, and the evenings corres- pondingly ehurt. Overcoats fee\ warm and uncomfort able, and mufllers, comforters, furs and thick gloves are boing laid aside one after another, and vegetation begins to show signs of the change of season, and its dusky color is altering to a livelier hue, while branch and twi evince rexewed vitality, and buds are awelling pregaan sné big with the promise of futare leaf and flower, which but await a warmer light to blossom and expand. 79 is one serlous drawback to the enjoymont of this delicious weather, and that is ths foul condition of the city. The beauty of a pleasant spring day is seriously impaired when the warm sunlight reveals alleys ond lance reeking with filth, and astreete and sidewalks covered with slims and mud. Clear skies aceord but poorly and make an unkindly contrast with filthy streets, and the sweet South wind becomes intolerable when it only brings to the nostrils a neisome stench from decaying garbage. In the namo of common decency Ist the city be purified of its filth, There is ro longer the excuse that a snew storm may come to fill the streets anew with mud and ice and slush, rendering the labor useless, Where are the contractors? Why are not the contracts taken a from those who do not fulfil their obligations? Who knows? Sen1008 AFFRAY IN THE Park Last Niaut.—Last night about a quarter of twelve o'clock, a young German, pamed George Blanco, residing at the corner of Centre and Apthony streets, was assaulted in the Park near the Hall of Records, by a gang of young rowdies, who knocked him down and beat him ‘shamefully, During. the affray a large dirk knife fell to the ground, and s per- ron passing, picked it d took it to the office of the Chief of Police, An officer was despatched to the scene of the fight, where he fouad a crowd collected, several of whom asserted that the dirk was attempted to be ured by Blanco, who stood in the middle of the group crying, protesting that he had never carried a knife of any description. He was taken to the Chief ’« office, where it was found that he had been kicked and bruised dreadfully in the face and abdomen. He wasimmodiate- ly cischarged, as it was evident he was the offended party, Who the rufiians were, or what their object was m attacking him, doer not appear, as noae of them were arrested, Itis certainly extraordinary that a man can be attacked and beaten, and dirk kaives used within right and not a hundred feet distant from the headquar- ters of the police of the city, and yet escape witbout any arrest being made, This is a aad commentary on the efficiency of our police, Dearn 1x A CaoRcH —An old Jady named Mre. Thomp- son, residing in Bleecker street, attended divine service in £t, Thomas’ Church last Friday morning. (It will be remembered that during Lent appropriate religions cera- monies are held several week days in all the Catholic and Episcopalian churches.) It is supposed, as she was late, that she fatigued herrelf,"for on entering the pew ashe knelt down, spparently much exhausted, and while doing eo her head fell forward in a manner to excite the alarm of a lady in the next pew, who went to her aasist- ance, and found to her horror that the old indy was den. Help was secured and the body removed from tho cburch and conveyed to Bleecker street, where Mrs. Thompson had resided. It is supposed she died of dis- ease of the heart induced by over: fatigue.
