Our government wilt, therefore, be compelled to resort to more energetic measures to extort reparation for the outrages com: mitted upon the persons and property of our citi- zens. The news from California is interesting. The steamers of the Nicaragua line had been laid up for the present, leaving the mail line in the enjoyment of the monopoly of the traffic between the Atlantic and Pacific States. Nothiog hid been done in the Legislatare in regard to the State debt, but it was thought that some action would be taken on the subject previous te the adjournment. A stamp act—a financial measure for relieving the State from ber present embarrassments—had passed in the lower house. It places 4 tax on all foreign bills of exchange, drafts or orders, and also upon passen- gers’ tickets in vessels leaving the State. The tax ona two thousand dollar draft is fixed at four dol- lars, and on fizst class passenger tickets six dollars. It was thought that the act would become a law. The Senate bad passed the bill of impeachment against Henry Bates, the State Treasurer, and he was declared henceforth disqualified | trom holding any office of honor or profit in the State of California. Proceedings in the impeach- ment case of B. C. Whitman, late State Comptroller, had been postponed until the 23d of March. The | present reason was represented as being by far the | most favorable for mining operations that California | has yet experienced. The receipts ot gold in San | Francisco had been large during the two weeks pre- | vious to the sailing of the steamer, and it was anti- cipated that there would be no falling off for a long | time to come. Activity in the markets still con- | tinned, and an extraordinary stimulus had been | given to operations in various descriptions of goods. | The George Law, in connection with the Golden Gate oa the Pacific side, has made the passage from Ban Francisco in less than twenty-one days, being the quickest passage which has been made in nearly two years.

In the Board of Aldermen yesterday, Mesars. Hoffmire, Healy and Corwin were appointed a epe- cial committee on the proposed extension of Albany street. Nothing else of importance was done. In the Board of Councilmen last evening, Mr, Boole presented a resolution authorising the Mayor to contest the constitutionality of certain sections of the new charter, which—after a short but excit- ing debate, in which Messrs. Uttarson and Warner were the leading spirits—was laid over. Pending the discussion of the propriety of adhering to their former action in reference to increasing their pay from $4 to $8 per session, notwithstanding the large non-concurrent vote of the other Board, a motion to adjourn was carried. A number of cases were disposed of yesterday in the Court of Gi John Evans pleaded g uilty of burglary in the third degree, and were sentenced to five years each in the State prison. Mary Kearnand George Rump were found guilty of forgery in the fourth degree, and received each two years in the Penitentiary. John Brown, W.

O'Leary was senteaced to two years in the Peniten- inferiority in the other, and upon the principle | tiary, and the others to three years each in State that there can be no harmony between the two | races admitted to the same level of equality in| prison. Charles H. Rose and Justis Koller were charged with rape on the person of Hannah A. Creamer. This young lady has hitherto refused to testify, but the Court were enabled to obtain a state- ment from her yesterday, in which she swears to the accused having both effected their object. She is willing, however, to marry Koller, if the Court will so allow. The case was adjourned till this day. Commissioner Stillwell yesterday committed for trial George Stacy, second mate of the bark Chiris- tina, for a dangerous assault on one of the crew. The Common Council of Brooklyn last evening adopted, by a vote of eighteen to fourteen, a resolu- tion requirixg the City Railroad Company to run cars every half hour from half-past twelve o'clock at night till the usual hour of ranning in the morning. It is expected that the company will comply, in due time, with the desire of a large majority of the citi- zens, and the directions of the Common Conncil, wnd run the cars on Sunday.
