THE COMMITTEE. ‘The effect of the paper bullets of the uniform gentle- ‘men upon the Committee was to increase their detormina- tion to show an unbroken front and maintain the position already assumed, They paid but little attention to these pronunciamentos, but went on with their duties quietly and without fear of molestation. The effect upon out- éiders, those who sympathise with, but whoare not mem- ‘ers of the Committee, was to drive them into the ranks, and the entire day was devoted to initiation, and it was impossible to accommodate all applicants, SIGNAL BELL. ‘The steel triangle, which had been elevated above the Committee buildings, by which to give the alarm to mem- bers, having proved insufficient for the purpose, has been removed, and a fine bell of about 700 pounds placed there in its stead. This monitor will probably prove equal to all that will be roquired. We trust it may never summon the members together for aught but the accomplishment of good, and the perfection of the good work undertaken, MYSTERIOWS. ‘We observed, yesterday morning, that a gibbet-like structure bad been built upon a building on Dunbar alley, in the rear of the City Ha!!, which was tormed of a crane which swung over the alley, at the end of which was a staple through which a rope was placed. Who put it there, or the object of its erection, was a great mystery to the denizens of that locality. The prevailing opinion seems to be that it was designed for some member of the Vigilance Committee, who might be caught in that nelgh- dorhood unattended by friends, PETITION AN EXTRA SESSION. About one o'clock, there were petitions put in circula- tion by some persons, calling upon the Governor to call an extra session of the Legislature. It was very gefic- rally signed by our citizens, and from the signatures , it appeared to mect with the approval of the Committee and its friends. The petition was in the fole lowing words : ‘Po His Exceiixncy, J. Nevty Jonyson, GovERNOR OF TUE Stare oF CALLORNIA:— The undersigned, citizens of the city and county of San Francisco, respectfully Ed pre that they consider tmmediate Ly igeeade action indispensably necessary, in order that public confidence in the government and laws, which has been lost, may be restored, and the citizons be secured in their lives, liberty and property. Among the measures which are of such urgent importance a3 to admit of no delay, are, in the opinion of your petition- i re 1. The passage of an act providing for the election of new officers of the city and county of San Francisco, at the earliest day possib! 2. An act to preserve the purity of elections. 3. Such amendments of the criminal code as will secure the prompt administration of justice and the speedy punishment of crimes, ‘They thorefore respectfully, but most earnestly, pray your Excelieacy to call an extra session of the Legisla- dure of California, to be convencd at as early a period ag possible under the constitution of the State; and, as in duty bound, will ever pray. San Francisco, June 2, 1856. The following quotation from the stitution of the ‘State vie gives hima right to do this inan emer- ency like that which has arisen here.

THE WALLACE GUARDS ALL RIGHT. ‘Weare infermed by C. FE. 8. McDonald, Captain of the ‘Wallace Guards, that nine-tenths of bis company are per- fectly disgusted with the proclamation of the Governor, and the rally of the understrappers gerentay, and they fhave tendered their resignations, ‘and enrolled them- eelves with the Vigilance Commitee. Thus the citizen soldiery are taking sides with the people almost by com- ies, and our poor deserted Governor and his lackeys are compelled to rely upon such trash as they enrolled yesterday, to slay the men, women and children of our iy. "Wel, they have this ‘edvantage by getting, those yolunteors—if worst comes to worst, and ir ammuni- tion gives out, they can fall back on the shoulder and do good service.

Ships at Panama. Our files from New Granada are dated at Panama and Aspinwall on 19th of June. The Panama Herald of June 19th, has the following news summary ;— ‘We publish a list of the monthly taxes levied on tha mercantile community here for the next six months, commencing on the 1st of July.

Senor Jose Anjel tos, for many years oditor of the Panamene, in thia city, died en the night of the 17th inst. The deceased was highly esteemed both in his private life and public career. 4 few evenings ago ber Britannic Majesty’s Consul here, Wm. Perry, Eaq., gave at hig manaion a private theatrical entertalnment followed, by a ball. The perfor- mance was in Freneh and Spanish, and the pieces selected for the occasion were “‘Le Mari de la Vouve,’’ vaudeville, and ‘ComoU, Quiera.’’ ‘The Yacific Mail Steamship Company aro getting out machinery for the pw ‘of boaring a well to a consi- derable depth on the Island of Flaminco, with the view of obtaining a sufficient supply of water there for their steamers. A. B. Corwine, Esq., the Special Commissioner sent out here by the United tes government to investigate the facts connected with the massacre of the 15th April, is progressing rapidly in his arduous work. Weunderstand the amount of testimony so far collected affords undenia. ble and overwhelming proof of the brutality and unpro- vokedness of the attack on the passengers, and of the com- Plicity of the police and other authorities therein, Mr. Corwine has stilla great amount of labor before him, and will not, in all probability, be able to complete his mission for a month to come. The French frigate Embuscade sailed from Panama at daylight on the 13th of June, for Punta Arcuas and the Sandwich Islands, Allon Posey, an American negro, who had been confined in prison at Aspinwall, under sentence of death for mur- der, was publicly shot at that place on the 6th inst, This is i first execution that has ever taken place in Aspin- wall. Speaking of the new tax imposed on mail matter by the Isthmus, the Panama Herald say Whilst the law pur- ports to be general in its application, it is perfectly ob- vious that the real object and aim of its author is to fleece the government of the United States out of large sums of money, or force her to seek another inter-oceanic route over which to transport her nails. But as the law is, in our opinion, in direct violation of existing treaty stipulations between the United States and the republic of New Granada, we presume the former will hardly consent to its exaction. The Panama Railroad Company have commenced the construction of one of their large iron bridges across the Gatun river. A ball was given by the Vice Governor of Panama, Sr. Fabrega, on the night of the Sth inst., in honor of the French vessels of war lying in the harbor. Although nearly all the foreigners residing in the city were invited, ad or three were present. mon Leon Sanchez, United State Consul at Cartha- gena, with bis family, and Col. Thrasher visited Panama op Thursday, 12th of June, the former on his way to Ma- tanzas for his health, and the latter bound to New Or- leans, We find little news of interest in our Bogota exchanges. The proposition to re-establish Colombia under a fe- deral form of government was favorably discussed. The papers are filled with canvassing notices for the Presidency, at the coming election. We find nothing in our exchanges referring to 5th April massacre, but we observe by the Panameno that the Governor's official account of the affair had reached Pogota, the Governor of Carthagena having forwarded it by special express, Tn Carthagena varios opinions were held as to the effect upon its prosperity of the law making it a free port, ‘but all coincided in the belief that until the dike connect- ing the Magdalena were opened, no great results would be experienced. The dredging machine sent out from New York for the purpose cf re opening the Totten Cut, was nearly completed, and, it was supposed, would soon be at work. An alfray occurred lately at Carthagena, between Senor Oronose, who bad been for some time an attaché of Santa Anna at Turbaco, and a person of color. The origin of the affair was a demand by Oronose, who is a native of Vene- zuela, of an explanation of cortain rumors communicated to Santa Anna by the black, that the people of Caracas had sent to Carthageda two men paid to assassinate him. In the dispute other blacks took part, and Senor Oronose ‘was jll-treated, and received one or two contusions. A new iron steamer, called the Gen. Mosquera, wor Dearly (emp iio "Magia e UA Aw iniddle of this month. : : The Presidential canvass is going on with great warmth and energy throughout the country, and the friends of the candidates—(Bosquera, national, Murillo radical, and Os- pina, conservative,)—express the greatest confidence in the result. The election takes place on the 20th of July, but owing to the dilatory and difficult means of communi- cation in the country, the result will probably not be known before September. The following summary of news {s from the Aspinwall Courier of 19th of Juné:—Four of those who have been confined at the hospital with injuries from the accident on the Panama Railroad of May 6, will go to the United States on the present steamer; some went to California by the last steamer—and all are doing well. The Panama Railroad bears the heavy rains we are now having well; and the track is in such condition that the transit trip can be made as rapidly as desirable with safety. The schooner H. P. Russell leaves here to-day for Escri- banos, the landing place of the West Veraguas mines, with machinery for use at the mines. This machinery has been lying at Kingston for a considerable time past, for want of means of transportation. ‘The government of the State of Panama is waiting the action of the general government respecting the riot of April, without doing anything towards the panislment of the rioters. 3 A gold SE left Nene for the mining region on this Isthmus, a few days since. Quite a number of parties who have left the United States with the intention of going to Walker, but never reached him, have left him upon Ides or have do- serted, have succeeded in obtaining employment here. ‘A cconsiderable party of Panamemians go by the present steamers to the United States—some with children to Jace at schools, some for trips of pleasure, and some for usiness purposes. This is the third departure in steamers in succession of Panamenians for the United States. ‘On the 10th inst., the Electoral Jury of this municipal- ity elected P. M. de Leon Paez President, Juan Barsallo Vice President, and Manuel Jose Calsadilla Secretary. ‘Aball has been given in this city by the Society of camacians, called “Tho Friendly Costumers.’’ There ‘were near twenty persons dressed in character. Among these were Richard II., the Buke of Buckingham, the Prince of Denmark, the Headsman of Venice, Camillo, an Indian Chief. More rain has fallen in Aspinwall during the past week than for any previous one of the season. THE UNITED STATES SHIP SUSQUEHANNA AT PANAMA. {From the Panama Herald, June 19. If the instructions issued by the Secretary of the Navy at Washington to vessels of war cruising in the Carrihean Sea, to touch at Aspinwall, merely mean that they are to go through such a farce as that performed by the steam frigate Susquehanna, we think they bad better stay away altogether. This splendid vessel, bearing the broad pennant of Commodore Paulding, entered the harbor of Aspinwall about 10 o'clock on the morning ef the 6th inst., and sailed at 4 o'clock on the evening of the same day for San Juan del Norte—with despatches for Mr. Wheeler, the United States Minister there—without even sending a boat on shore to_ announce her arrival at the United States Consulate.” What the object of Commodore Paulding’s visit could have been it is hard to imagine, ag no one on shore had any communication with the ship, except two or three persons who took small boats and went off to see her, Under existing circumstances we certainly look upon the conduct of the Commodore as anything but flat- tering to the Americans of Aspinwall, and far from aa complimentary or courteous to the United States Consul there as it ought to have been. It certainly could have been neither very expensive nor very troublesome, with a crew such as tho ue- hanna carries, to haye lowered a boat and announced to the Consul, at least the vessel's name and arrival, as the distance from the ship to the shore was only a couple of hundred yards. We trust that the next United States ship-of-war which yisits Aspinwall€ will treat the residents on shore with a little more civility, and the Consul with a little more con- sideration, or el¢ that they will avoid entéfing the har- Dor at all, a3 such visits tend to do more mischief than good.

The Baron died of cholera, whilst on bis return with the army from Nica. agua. he Vinancia brought several passengers from San Jose, who report that the cholera was raging in that city, ‘and that the loss of laborers by the epidemic and the in. vasion of Nicaragua, it was feared, would have a prejudi- cia) on the coflee crop.

We have no official information of the executive power having de- creed this philanthropical solicitation, but we believe that the benevolent desires of those who have availed themselves of this propitious moment to entreat its clemency will uot meet a denial, 4s to material progress, can announce with se- curity that the line of the Valparaiso. and Santiago Rail- way, as far as the town of Limache, will be opened to the public on the 18th of September noxt. The principal difficulties of the work are found between these two Points, such as the great bridges which it has been ne- ceseary to construct, and without which it was imposai- ble to give impulse to the following work. All requisite measures being taken to surmount these obstacles, with- out sparing any sacrifices, the works along the rest of the line will advance as rapidly as the public and the di- rectors may desire. Our readers must remember that the line as far as Vina del Mar, about four miles distant from this port, was laid open to the public on the 18th of September last, and on the same date this yoar we will celebrate the anniversary of the national independence, travelling thirty-six miles, more or less on tho railroad, the actual distance between both points, This important Progress will be a new encouragement to continue the work with confidence and activity, The Roussett amily, which has boon well received by the public of Valparaiso, appears resolved to invest the irvits of their labors in our soil, by contributing to embel- lish the city with a new theatre, The meyement in the Mint, during the month of April last, has been as follows Gold coined ......

A law of complete amnesty has been issued, ordering tho ranks of such persons as served under Gen. Echeniquo’s adiministra- tion to be recognized, granting them pensions, and also awarding such military pensions as the law allows to the widows and children of those who perished in de- fence of the government during the late campaign, All the stupid decrees of the provisory government are therefore annulled.

There was no communica- tion with Costa Rica, aud consequently there are no mails from that republic. A report was brought by tho Clyde that a revolution had broken out among the Costa Ricans, but the correctness of this we very much doubt. It is stated that Walker had sent a special commissioner to Salvador to treat with that State, but that he was sent back immediately without effecting anything satisfactory. ‘We have been unable to learn the present whereabouts of Walker, Provisions continue scarce and high at Greytown. Several of Walker’s army, who had left their leader, came down Sedsciwrall on the Clyde, we are told, in most miserabi@eondition. Col.

We haye files from Kingston, Jamaica, dated to 11th of Jee, ‘the Colonial Standard, of June 9, says:—The first hatching of the Fria silk worm in Jamaica has, we be- lieve, been completely successful with all those who have had charge of the insect. The batch of worms placed under our care have now, with scarcely an exception, completed their cocoons, of which we possess between sixty and seventy full and well formed specimens. Tho moths will probably come forth from these in from two to three weeks, and as cach female lays about 200 eggs, some idea may be formed of the extent of reproduction which may be anticipated from the large number which are already in a similar state of forwardness in the hands of others.

News from Oregon and Washington. ‘We understand, gays the Table Rock Sentinel, that the companies of Captains Keoth and Blakely, and one other cempany, haye been left at the Big Meadows, for the purpose of erecting fortifications at that place, The Southern Battalion have pretty nearly all returned from their expedition to the Meadows, and an impression is ex- tant that they will make another expedition, as there is considerable dissatisfaction in relation to affairs connect- ed with the late expedition. The term of enlistment of many of the volunteers is about terminated, and it would not be very astonishing if the volunteers were, as a gone- ral thing, discharged. The Indians may fall in with Col- onel Buchanan, as he, with United States troops, are somewhere down Rogue River, Jf the United States troops and the Indians do meet, it would not be very strange if the preliminaries of a treaty were talked over. ‘This war of extermination is not what a! bargained for. The only sure way to save life, end the war and restore peace to Southern Oregon, is to obtain a treaty, and send the Indians out of the country. AFFAIRS AT THE DALLes.—We learn from the Dalles, says the Standard that Col. Wright's command are still on the Na-chez River; that a scouting party had proceeded up the river to find a ford, and while reconnoitering thoy spied an Indian on the opposite bank, who said to thom “Charco.’’? Soon after others appeared, coming out of the bushes, and in a short time their number increased to about one thousand. Among them was a son of Poe- peu-mox-mox, who told the regulars he would not treat, and declared he was ready to fight. The scouts deem it prudent to retreat down the river, to the main body of the regulars, and on their arrival Col. Wright sent an ex- prees to the Dalles, to hasten the march of the recruits with the supplies, Movements oF THE RecvLARs.—Tho news of the move- ments of the regulars is, says the Portland 7imes, that Col. Wright, with his command bad proceeded into the Indian country as fur as Natchez river, and had taken up a position on the south side of that river where he met the Indians, encamped on the north side, some one thou- sand to twelve hundred strong. Tho regulars for five days bad been endeavoring to treat with the enemy; but all the chiefs, except Skloom and Showhaway, are found hostile to making any treaties, and wish for more white men’s blood, _{n view of these matters, Col. Wright has sent to Forts Vancouver and Dalles for three additional cempanies of regulars. From Wasnincton Territory.—Considerable excitement prevails in Pierce county, Washington Laehcg Tt ap- pears that some of the people of the Hudson Bay Com- pany have settled in this county, married squaws, and were suspected of giving ald and comfort to the Indians. ‘The parties suspected were arrested by order of Gover- nor Stevens, and martial law was proclaimed in the county. After the issuance of tho proclamation, Chief Justice Lander attempted to hold court in the county, and waa arrested, together with the Clerk, by order of Governor Stevens. Thus matters stand. ‘We have bad accounts that martial law had been de- clared in Pierce county, and that Judge Lander had been arrested for ce liecd to hold a court in that county. ¢ of the papers before us says — ; orto place The matter before the people in its true light, we may sum it up briefly as follows :-— 1st. Gov. Stevens declared martial law in Pierce county, Vecause it was his duty, and the law and the evidence justified him in so doing; he would have failed in his duty if he had not. 2d. Judge Lander knew of the existence of martial law at the time he commenced holding court; that it was con- trary to law to attempt it—and he must have known it. 3d. He was a prisoner at the time he attempted to hold court at Olympia, and cited Gov. Stevens to appear bo- fore him and release the prisoners.

Project for Nominating Secretary Marcy next Governor &f the State of New York—Mayor Wood's Efforts to Procure his own Nomination—Mr. Campbell's Conduct at the Washington Whig Meeting, de., fc. A combination of interests, North and South, are at wort to make William L, Marcy the next Governor of the State of New York. No one doubts his ability to get the nousi- nation; but the apprehension is, that he will not allew his name to be used, having expressed a determination te: retire into private life at the close of the Pierce admimia- tration. It will be recollected that Marcy’s letter to the New York ratification meeting endorses the principles, in full, of the Cincignati platform, and that in the eveas of his nomination he must be swallowed by the eofs ag &® pro-slavery man, from stem to Btern. ‘The leading Southern democrats favor this -movemant, believing, as they do, that Marcy can carry the State of New York against any other candidate, and thus givethe pro-slavery party of the South ita thirty-Gve votes for their Presidential candidate. This, with Peonsylve- nia’s twenty-seven votes and the South’s one hundred and twenty votes, would make Buchanan President, with thirty votes to spare. But the friends of Fernando Weed aro in the way, with Mr. Dan E.

This is serious fuct, and not jest, and bas the approval of Virginia’s Wise, whose promises te address a New York Wood ratification meeting hag beom given, should his Honor the Mayor succeed in torcing him self upon the democrasy of the State for the next Guber- natorial candidate. It is probable that Mr. Marcy's views upon the subject will shortly be ascertained, as there are gentlemen from New York now here upon this business. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, has received, for himself, by his conduct at the Washington whig meeting, last Satur. day evening, general censure. The meeting waa called for the old line whigs, and none others wore invited te attend. But Mr. Campbell thinks proper te force himself forward, and to introduce niggeriem, against the wishes and upahimous protest of tho congregated assemblage, The venerable Mr. Seaton, the chairman of the mecting, called upon Mr. Campbell to retire, but this persow fused, alleging that bis being formerly a whig gave the right to be present and to be heard. He frequon interrupted Senator Jones, performing a part that at any time have reflected upon the leading spirit of the New York subterraneans, and as a means to free the meeting of the intrusion and designs of this honorable gentleman, an adjournment was declared and tho turned off.’ This is the Mr. Campbell that the niggerites labored to make Speaker of the House of Representatives, 9, Were you ever able it ie r- vat and coat; he would then, after he was dressed, motion and a gound as before; I would wipe off the glasses, put them on, get tim his crutch and down stairs, by lifting his right this mode of transacting affairs before going down vary while you were there; Vary, and if so, in what respect ?

The front is white marble; the style of arokd- tecture belongs to no particular order, being a mixture of native fancy with that of the palatial or Roman, orma- mented. In the centre; over the main entrance, is am entablature and balustrade, supported by four Corinthiag columns. In each story above, are tripple light windows, with carved and angular caps on either side, forming one of the most beautiful fronts on Broadway. ‘Tho La Farge was, we understand, arranged with a view more for the accommodation of private families than for ‘transient guests; consequently the rooms are muck larger than in ordinary hotels. Commencing at the bottom, we start from the wine cellar, where is stored a well selected stock, “done up in original packages.”? *The basement is the kitchen, bakery, servants’ dining room, washing, drying and linen rooms, laundry, stere rooms for various purposes, barber’s shop, bath rooms, bar, billiard room, a steam engine for washing, ironing, wringing and other purposes. ‘Tho enisine and culinary department is of the finest de- scription, and deserves special notice; it contains not oaly all the eg ol improvements, but a great many cem- reniences entirely new. i Under tho sidewall in Mercer street are boilers for heating water and generating steam, which warms the hotel and drives the machinery.
