EVIDENCE OF DR. THOMAS MILLER. Miller called, “Dr. Thomas Mr. Brady stated that he called this witness simply to @iscover whether any article bad been taken from the person of Mr. Key besides those produced. ‘Witness was acctdeutally in the room whore the body of Mr. Key lay; a gentleman present examined some of ‘the pockets and removed some scraps of paper, or folded papers, which seemed to be of very little importance, Mr. Brady—Wo do not ask about their importance. ‘Witness—Thero was also an old card case, with one or two visiting cards; this person was Mr. Doyle, who was examined as a witness; these were handed to me; I did mot examine them, Dut I put them into an envelope and directed them to Hon.

She gave her evidence without the slightest hesitancy or pause, except that for about a minute a slight fainting fit passed over her. SPECIAL REPORT FOR THE HERALD. Wasmrxatoy, April 13, 1859. ‘Three was another touching incident in court to-day. ‘Miss Ridgely, a very interesting looking girl of seventeen, ‘who gave her evidence with remarkable procision, was suddenly overcome by her feelings, and bending down her thead, she gave way to a flood of tears. ‘The crost-examination of the nurse of Mrs. Sickles, by ‘Mr. Carlisle, was very eevere; but she answered him in a manner to provoke frequent smiles from the jury. ‘The evidence of Mr. Mann, from Buffalo, who saw Key waving his handkerchief in front of Sickles’ house a short time before be was shot, created great sensation. Tho prosecution did their best to prevent this witness from getting the truth out. Mr. Sickles looked unwell to-day, and his eyes hada red and inflamed appearance. He has become so nervous that ho eleeps badly, and takes little nourishment. An amusing circumstance happened to-day as the jury were on their way to the court. A large crowd of boys ‘Delonging to one of the schools, met them in the street, ‘and crying out here’s Sickles’ jury, they gave cheer after obeer, in which many people jomed. ER MrrnoroutaN TaeaTRE.—A drama of the French ‘ sén- sation” achool was acted here last night for the firat time in this city. It is in five acts, and is called “ The Mesalli- ance.” The plot is interesting, though not strikingly ori- ginal. The hero, the Vicomte d’Orby, (Mr. C. B. Hill,) is ‘an eccentric young nobleman, and is very rich. His for- tune js much coveted by his brother, the Comte d’Orby, (ir. Reynolds,) and the Comtesse d’Orby, (Mrs. Conway.) ‘The Vicomte contracts a mogalliance with a charming young girl, Leone, (Miss Davenport,) the daughter of a portrait painter. The Comte and Comtesse engage in a series of plots to criminate the Vicomtesse, and to make oat that the Vicomte is positively insane, In those in- trigues they are met and defentea at every byran honest old notary, Goodwill (Mr. @. Farren), cn hh sharp clerk, Finesso (Mr. F. B. Conway), Of course the denouement is one of piness for the virtuous, and ‘wailing and gnashing of teeth for the wicked. ‘The charactors, ty have named above are well drawn fn a theatrical pointof view; the action of the play is con- tinuous and rapid, the dialogue generally terse and always vigorous, and the play may, therefore, be pronounced, ‘with all justice, an excellent one of its school. Some of its incidents are not unlike those of the drama which has ‘been written for the pending amateur porformance at tho Academy of Music. The main intorest of ‘The Mesalliance”’ entres in tho character of Léone, the vee weg 8 faith, and cou! of whom stands out in fine con- trast with the cold blooded wickedness of the Comtease, her enemy.

Tho othor parts were well enough acted, with exception of a general tendency to preach on the parto Tt not only caused some scenes to drag, bu extremely absurd in theory and practico—the speech eing chiefly short colloquial dialogues, Mr. G, Farren, made bir debut here, was an honorable exception on point, Uh ned Na ‘Mies Davenport, gave the best per. 6 night. 6 play Was a capital success, with a full house, and Will be repeated every night this week. 3 —— Tux Orgra.—Tho second performance of the season took » place at the Academy last evening, when tho “Trovatore”’ ‘was sung, with Gazzaniga, Miss A. Phillips, Floronza and ‘Tamaro in the principal réles. Gazzaniga and Miss Phil- Mps sang ana played admirably; the others were mode- ‘ately good. The house was full.

Sho left San Francisco with 480 passengers, fifty-two of whom took the Tehuantepec route at Acapulco, forty the steamer at Havana for New Orlcans, and the rest came to this city. ‘The Star of the West made a fine run to Havana, having arrived there on the afternoon of the 8th, four days from Aspinwall. The Empire City, Capt. 8. P. Griffin, which loft here on the 2d, arrived at Havana early on the morning of the 9th; she would leave at 3 P. M. for New Orleans. The Orizaba, of Vanderbilt’s new line, was met by the Stephens on the evening of the 28th going into Acapuloo as the latter was coming out. ‘The Golden Age, on her last trip up from Panama to Acapulco, made the passage in four days and a half—tho quickest trip by several hours ever made.

The deceased was formerly a pawnbroker at San Francisco, and was worth $80,000. The news from California is favorable. Business hag been dull the past winter, but the prospect for spring trade was never better. ‘The best business now in California seoms to be raising fine etock, Awmong the passengers are several large capi- talists, who are going to make extensive stock purchases to drive across the Piaing.

The government had offered to give up the steamers which they lately took possession of, belonging to the Jo, White Company, but the offer was declined. The agent at Greytown indulges in strange notions as to what the American government is going to doin the way of compensating the company. The Catharine Maria, one of the boats seized, wae still lying at Castillo Rapids in a sinking condition. All the hands on board the boats had left and gone home, except an engineer, whom the govern- ment had employed to run the boats. The men had taken passage on board the schooner Monterey, which was to leave Greytown on the 4th for New York. ‘The second convoi of French engineers, mechanics, laborers, &c., ent. out by the Nicaragua Canal Company, arrived at Greytown on tho 30th, in the steamer Deo. Some of tho most distinguished engineers, and others belonging to the French government, have been placed at the disporition {of M. Bolly and M. Elie de Beaumont for the use of the enterprise.

Such is the Belly news by the Star of the West. ‘The Cans-Yrisarri treaty, with modifications, was raty- fied bythe Conitituent, Astembly of Nicaragua on the 2st ultimo. A similar treaty between Nicaragua and Sardinia was eigned and ratified at the same time.

He had three days’ provisions, and it Beems he bad been about eighteen days, by last accouits, without anything having been heard as to the reault. ANTI-CHINESE LEGISLATION. ‘The opposition to the presence of Chinese in California grows stronger every day. In the mining districta tho hostility to this people is kept within hourds only by the strong arm of the law, backed by physical force. It ‘Shasta county, though the rioters who attempted to ex- pel the Chinese miners wore fortunately put down, yet the feeling of dislike will sooner or later exhibit: itself in violence. Several bills have been introduced in the As- sembly for the purpose of rendering California an un. comfortable place for them as a residence. It is well known that a species of serfdom exists in this State, by which large numbers of Chinese are held by wealthy Chinese companies tn a condition ef slavery. Tie lower class, who are imported here, work for them a small for thei vens are not allowed to but Chinese are permiteed to with their serfs, and American cil forced to give, way to them. It is-thevonscious- ness of this fact ibat so irritates white miners jod causes thera to resort to unlawful le view of measures. With breaking up this system a bill has been introdwed in the Assembly, of which the following is a copy:—~ ec. 1. Contracts made and entered into tn ayy: coun- try for the importation of an; or pergns of the Mon oilan race into the Biate of de for thepurpose of em joying such persons capacity whateer, are hered; Seclrad ted Bs ho aid after the ia AD} oF wi on s* day of August 1689, import or Gause to into the Bate of itornia, under contract to work son or persons of the Mongolian race, shall of ami eanor, and upon conviction of competent jurisdiction, shall be puntabed: ‘than $9,000, or by imprison ‘im the county, ‘not Jess than six months nor more than twe Yj four S. Any persos or persons of the onplian Ace shalt ‘ec. or be deemed competent to give tesiimony inkoy proceedings ‘Bee 4. It shall be competent for any citizey of the State to commence an action or proceeding in the nate of the people of the Btate of Caufc aad such Pdatreg reg the action or proceeding shall be entitled to one jalf the fine ovl- Jected under the provisions of this act. It ie contended that if this bill passes, "hinese serfdom is broken down, and a barrier is erectedagainst Chinese immigration. The hordes of Asiatics fiat come here when in their own country are too Leet hd able to pay ineir passages, and it is by means of th wealth of their future taskmasters that they find theinway to America. The enactment of the above law woulj certainly chook the inroads of the detestable strangers. Another bill has been introduced to/aise revenue for for a period of ‘a, or by both a Chinese police fund. It provides that An additional tax of one dollar per aonum be collected fém every Chinese male inhabitant of the State, which shal}be applied in de- fraying expenses incurred in prosecut against China- men; also to reimburse Horace Kilhgm in the sum of $12,000 for lores sustained by bim j reavon of havin his ‘agent murdered, his safe robbed and by reason oi expenses incurred in brivging the Chheso murderers to Justice. The Boards of Supervisors an authorized w in- crease the tax to two dollars per anmm when they eee Proper. There are many people who protest grains’ this kind of legislation. They argue that the beniit avcruing to the State by Chinese immigration is more jan sufficient to overbalance the drawbacks. | THE CALIFORNIA INDIAN WAR ENDED. A late number of the Times, publ in Hamboldt county, announces that what has been jesignated an In- dian war in the northern part of this Stte may be consi- dered atan end, It is said theGovernd will recommend that an appropriation be made to pay tlh expenses of the volunteers. The bill must bea pretiy arge one, as tho cost of, transportation, &c., in a mountdious country re- quires @ large outay, and the contracbrs are genorally dispoged to make Indian wars pay. General Kibbe, State Adjutant Apes ed was in Hum- boldt last week, and entered into a contact with the mas- . ter of the bark Fanny Major to take a tumber of prison- ere to the reservation at Mendocino, 6 Zimes says that Captain Messie bad seventy-five prisones, and that Lieu- tenanant Winslet had captured about twenty-five more, which had not left camp when he left. The Indians are entirely starved out, and the weather ths been 80 severe that they could not hunt in the mountdns, and dare not go down on the streams. ‘The Redwood prisoners captured by j party of citizens, some two weeks since, on Mad river, pointing out the campe of the Redwoods to the volunieels, and the Indians are captured without (cin As I have several times written, this yar, as it is called was an exterminating onslaught on a niseraple tribe ot Indians who were unable,to defond thepaelves. ‘WRECK OF SMALARI— U6 OF LFR, Captain Worth, of the schooner Carolhe E.

Until the real estate of the country is taxed, it will be a difficult matter to increase the public revenue, as the mer- chante, from whom the principal amount is derived, are already taxed to the ful! extent of their means and basi- ness. This class has always contributed most liberally to- wards the support of government; but the lauded proprie- tors, who are generally largely represeuted in the Legisla- ture, have be let off with a mere nomiral tax.
