SS The News. ‘Whe steamship Illinois arrived last evening from Aspinwall, with interesting news. There is nothing important from California. A bill had been introduced in the Legislature making Provieion for the legalization of the unconstitution- ally contracted State debt by the people them- selves. It was thought the bill would pass. A legis: lative investigation into the conduct of the State ‘Breasurer was in progress, that officer having “‘transferred” $124,000 from the public strong box under circumstances somewhat irregular, as is al- Yeged. Mining was very productive. One lucky mdivicual is said to have recently Gug upa boulder ef gold weighing one thousand pounds. The trea- gure brought by the Illinois is put down in the gross as‘‘seventy-seven Loxes.” The semi-monthly ship- ment js estimated at $1,700,000, of which sum it is supposed about a million came to New York. A full report of the operations of the Central Amencan troops on Lake Nisaragna and against Rivas, is given in ano'her column. Gen. Mora had erossed the lake in the steamers, and communi- @ated with the allied commanders at Granada who were very much rejoiced at the suc cess of the operations on the Sana Juao river. Anew plan of operation against Rivas was combined, and Gen. Calas advanced with 2,000 men to San Gorge. The various accounts*from Gr town, San Salvador and Costs Riva show how much those countries bave been exhausted in the present struggle, and that there is still some feeling in Savor of Walker. The steamer Columbus had ar rived at Panama, from Guatemala, with a valuable cargo coffee and indigo. New grants to cut mahogany south of the San Juan river had been made by the Mosquito authorities to a Mr. Bell, of Blewficlds. There were symptoms of a new politi- ea) agitation in Paname. News from Mr. Morse, the new United States Commissioner to Bogota, was waited for with much anxiety on the Isthmus. There is nothing of importance from Oregon oy Washington Territories. ‘Tere is a rush of emigration to Arizona, on the Gadsden purchare, where wines of gold and coppe: of gieatextent and exceeding richness have been iscovered. Fifty-six emigrants left San Francisco ‘eon New Year's day in the steamer Sea Bird for this mew Ophir, It was suspected, however, that these enterprising colonists had in view a Glibustering ex pedition to Sonora. ‘The latest accounts from Sonora state that the sevolution was still going on. The Gandara forces suffered a disestrovs defeat at Hermosillo on the 224 of November. The anti-Gandara party were soon to take the field in large force under the lead of Gen. Gilbardi, who had left San Franciseo for Mazatlan to arsume the command. From New Granada we have news dated at Pa a WEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1857. the Surrogate here. There is no law in this country that defines whether “sr not the guardian has power to change the domicil of nis ward. The 5 after noting the law upon this pbint in the Old and New World, held that a guardian could not remove the domicil of a ward from the jurisdiction of the laws or authority which appointed him, or out of the State in which he was appointed, but that he could change the domicil of his ward from one coun- ty to another of the same State, and therefore, that the domicil of the minor, Miss Bartlett, is in the county of Kings, and that her epplication must be made to the Surrogate thereof. The Senate yesterday passed a number of private bills, and then took up the Post Office appropriation bill. An amendment providing for the transporta- tion of a letter mal in coaches from the Mississippi to San Francisco was adopted, and ‘the bill finally passed. The proceedings of the House yesterday will at- tract universal attention. Messrs. Gilbert and Mat- teson, members from New York, who were convict- ed of corruption by the Investigsting Committee, crery,—We are informed from an snuthentic, source that the Hon. Mr. ‘aayer, ‘the lead’ag spirit in the organization of the Kansag emigrant reuscitation and regeneration. of Qid Virginia. mensely profiteble, ment of those lands by Northern and European two hundred acres; thirdly, it is proposed to es- factories, villages, schools, &c., at eligible Wry largely their sphere of operations; secondly, the introduction into Virginia, in the course of eight or ten years, of at least two hun- dred thousand emigrants, without niggers; third- ly, the rapid developement of the dormant agri- cultural, commercial, manufacturing and mineral resources of the State; fourthly, such an impetus to the policy of free white labor as will speedily dissipate the existing system of slave labor; and, lastly, the triumphant accession of the great commonwealth of Virginia to the tree States of the Union. Such is the present grand emigrant aid project of Mr. Thayer and his associates; and such, in brief, are their ealculations. To some extent, in Fairfax county, for example, these Northern colo- nists have been tried, and have proved highly successful to all concerned. But the subject is a great one, the scheme is a grand one, and the field so inviting that we shall touch upon it again. What say our Virginia newspaper cotemporaries? declaring him an unworthy member. The case of Mr. Welch, of Connecticut, coming up in turn, there was an evident disposition to deal less harshly with him, and finally a resolation declaring the evidence against him insuffieient, and that ne further pro- ceedings be taken, was adopted by a vote of 119 to 17. The case of Mr. Edwards now remains to be disposed of. A despatch from Albany states that formal charges of incompetency and improper conduct have been preferred against Coroner Connery. Governor King has notified the Coroner te forward his defence, and unless he fully excul pates himself his removal is regarded as certain. In the House of Assembly yesterday the Selec’ Committee on Temperance made a report and pre- sented a bill on the subject. The crowded state of our columns compels us to forego the publication of the report. The bill may be found in the report of the proceedings. It retains many of the old license Jaw provisions, and provides that instead of town boards the county judge and justices of the county sessions, except in the city of New York, where the Mayor, Recorder and Justices of the city court shall meet and appoint three freeholders to grant licenses, who shall be classified as follows:—One for two years. one for four years, one for six years; and at the expiration of two years a new one shall be appointed to serve six years. Licenses shall cost—the highest $100, the lowest $30. The sale of liquors is to be pro- hibited to minors under 14 years of age, instead of 18, as heretofore.

Commissioner Betts has decided, in the matter of the French extradition, that he does not act judi- cially but merely as referee, and has no power to punish for contempt. Mr. Richard Busteed, Corpo- ration Counsel, has commenced a libel suit against the proprietors of the 7yibune newspaper for an article in yesterday's issue commenting on his con duct in taking possession of a document during the proceedings in the French extradition case on Thursday, and also for heading the report in the Same paper “ Garrotieg in Court.” The sales of cotton yerterday reached about 4,000 balcs, the marke’ closing frm. A private telegranhic h was received from New Orleans ; esterday. dated February 96, which quoted middling cotton at 185., and freigbts st 7-164, The recolpts in three days were 6 Wi 26,000 Dales, A private despatcd from M bilo, da‘ed February 26, gave sales in thrie days at 15,000 snd receipts im the same time at £,000 bales, agains: Tur New Mexican Treaty.—The more we look into the terms of this new treaty concluded with the Mexican government of General Comonfort by our Minister, Forsyth, the more we think it entitled to the approval of our Cabi- bet aud Senate. It proposes that Mexico shall have the liberty to borrow fifteen millions upon the faith of our overflowing treasury; and that in consideration therefor, new postal facili- ties, new commercial facilities, and frontier re- ciprocities, on the Canadian principle, shall be conceded to us, in addition to the payment of American claims to the extent of three millions of dollars. It appears, also, that the treaty is open to a contingent land arrangement, whereby, in the last resort of Mexiean inability to settle up, another slice of Mexican territory will fall quietly into our possession. We presume that the treaty will go over to the new administration, and we hope that both this and the Dallas-Clarendon treaty may be finally adopted in that shape which will best contribute to the relief and elevation of Mexico, to the peace of the world, to the success of our commerce and to the dignity and hosor of our countr Poor Prexce Gorse Sovra.— One of our Ric’ § mond (Va.) democratic cotemporaries proposes, by Southern eubscriptions, the raising a fund tufficient to purchase a comfortable farm in some Southern State asa free gift to Franklin Pierce, with the condition, we suppose, that he shall re- side thereon.

They have now devised a plan which they think will secure them all the benefits of their original scheme without conflicting with the constitation. They propose. as before, to put the Police, City Hall, Central Park, &c., in commission, but they arc willing to select the commissioners out of the officials at present in office, having been elected by the people of the city. They simply intend to pick out of the various city officials all the leading republicans, and make them commission ers, By this adroit device they calculate to carry out their original intention of securing the spoils for their party, and crippling the democrats ia this city the whole of course at the cost of wha blessings a good municipal government migh: procure. We submit that the annals of corruption con- tain no more utterly uoprincipled and scandalous attempt to sacrifice public to private interest than this. When every one is crying aloud for & consolidation of the city government under one bead, in order to increase its efficiency and responsibility to the public, these politicians, beMed in their more comprehemsive design of disfranchising us, still insist om aggravating the radi fault of the government that we have, by increasing the divisions of autho- tity and diminishiog official responsibility.

Now it appears that two others— Welch and Edwards—are implicated by name, and thirty, according to Matteson’s account, who have not been named. All these fellows should follow the example of their worthy compatriots— make their dying speeches an’ get out as quick- ly as possible. They, and all the lobby at their heels, should not only be expelled from the Capi- tol, but kicked ignominiously beyond the line of the District. Matteson received an extra impetus in a vote of 145 to 17, declaring him unworthy a seat in the House. Thus these selt-condemned men retire from public life.
