Walker—Affairs in Soora—Legislative Proceedings — General News, &c., dc. The past weck has furnished an unusual amount of deeds of violence and disaster. In striking contrast with the character of the State for twelve months, the last few days are brimful of horrors. Homicides, robberies and many other offences have been perpetrated, and disclo- sores made of unparalie .d inhumanity. Then, a most de- plorabie accident took place in the bay last Sunday morn- ing, by which several persons lost their lives and a large number were injured. In the early days of California when lax administration of the laws was tho rule, and men of bad passions abounded in every part of the State, crime and disorder were the natura results of such a condition of things; bat now we have an organized society, churches and ministers in abundance, Courts presided over by able and upright Judges, and all the elements that can make a country pros- perous and happy. It is for these reasons that we feel grieved at the late outbreak of vile passions and the injury which our reputation suffers abroad. Recent occurrences are only Of 8 t.Mporary Dature, and with the firm determi- nation in the pubjic mind te punish the offenders, they will not be repeated again.

On Sunday morning, the 3d inst., at about balf-paet nine o'clock, the ferry boat Contra Costa, plying between this city and Oaklsnd, burst ber boiler, causing the death of five persons anfl the injury of a large number of others. The disaster was unqucstionably the result of racine, There are two ferry Imes in operation een Sap Francisco and “Oakland, and the spirit of opperition apd rivalry ran high between them. On the morning in question several hundred of our citizens were on board purposing to spend the Sabbath in the country, Each company rtarted their boat from this side at the fame moment, and the race commenced across the bay. It should be seid thet such had often occurred Defore, and that at least one-baif of the passengers on board on this occasion wore females. ‘Mr. Benjamin F. Dillard, one of tae injured, furnishes the Heralit with these perticulars: “one huadred yards from tbe wharf the Contra Costa was going at fall spood, which showed that they had « high bead of eteam on. The Ouklaud soon followed, and the race became exciting. On reacting Onkland Bar, Mr. Hillard remarked to Mr. Birdsall, the engineer of tho Contra Costa, the Oakland would probably beat them, to ‘which Mr. Birdsall replied thet he thought 20 too. Ho then said @° Mr. Hillard, “One of the tremen is away from his poss, ‘aod I wirh you wou'c bai) bit and tell nim to return.” Wr. Hillard complied, and hailed the fireman twice, but received Do apewer—Just then the boiler exploded. In passing the steam guage to comply with the request of the engineer, Mr. Hiliard not.ced that it marked forty poun: put was visibly risiog with rapidity, and went snddealy up to exty pounds. Mr Biragall, the engineer, 1nme. diately “slowed down,” but it ie thought the tremaa, bo- ing away from his poet, had aliowed the water to get too low in the botier, and when the engiaeer ‘slowed dowa” the steam generated with intense rapidity and cauped the explosion ® When intelligence was disseminated of the disaster, the excitement throughout the city was intonse. Thousands of persons hurried to the wharves to learn the particu laré. The Coatra Costa could ve seen lying on the bar her smoke stack aud wheelhonses gone. The Vakiand was pear by, taking off passangers. Soou aftr two steamboats proceeded to the agot, one of which lowe! the wreck of the Contra Costa to San Francisco, The follow ing 1 @ liat of the killed, ns far as known:-= LIS? OF TMB KILLED.

He was worth $3,000. - HORRIBLE t Costa, the indi of our citizens was roused 10 the highest pitch by the details of cruelties inflicted by Capt. Pendleton, of the bark Sarah Park, ou his crew daring a voyage from Cardiff, Wales, to this port. elicited before the Upited States Coramusioner brought to the knowledge ot the public the particulars of perhaps the moet crue} ard relent! persecution that ever disgraced the bistory of the American merchunt service. ‘The Sarah Park ralied from Cardiff about six months go, with a cargo of coal. The craw for the most con- sigted of Norwegiave—a docile and bardy class of seamen. ‘When in the lattude of Cape Horn, without there being apy necessity therefor, the crew were puton av allow- anee of provisions, This meant, ag it appeared by the evidence, o be nothing more thanaquantity entirely in sufficient to support life, The men, when they had an opportunity, went to the bread barrel and toon biscuit to lessen the pangs of hunger. Oaptain Pendleton thea be- gan $0 punish, ano his punishments were of a kind that tew human beings could endure. First, the men were laehed, next confined jor days without food, shackled in the fore part of *hip, where they were washed by the then Kept daye in the rigging, deprived of the mise- rable allowance of bread and water allotted to each. On the arrival of the Sarab Park here the captain com- plaiued of two of his men for stealing provisions, aud bad warrants ireued for their arrest. Two men were brought ashore, and their terrible condition batilles description. Toeir baked backs and sides were not only laceraved by the laeb, but salt brine and pickle had been thrown over the wounds and allowed to dry on; and this had frequent ly been done. The United States Marshal found the men ironed between the coal and the deck of the vessel with- ont enough of ppace to permit them to move, They are now in the United States Marine Hospital. Pendleton bas been committed by the Commissioner to anewer the charge of murder in the case of Willams, and on five charges of inflicting cruel punishment on a8 maay seamen, Bail was fixed in the latter cases at $25,000, but the rubsequent examination disclosed the commission of a capital crime. He is now ia Pree ‘and will be tried during the present term of the United States Circuit Court, As etated above, the excitement in the city during the time Pendleton was before the Commissioner ran very high. At its close the crowd in the streets numbered many thousands, and they vented their feelings by making aD attempt to take the prisoner from the custody of the officers, which was fortunately frustrated. At one period the life of Pendicton was in some er as be passed {brongh the city on his way to prison. He was, jowever, suiely lodged in jail, and no doubt felt relieved when secure from the fury of the populace. TRAGEDY IN BAN JOSE. ‘Several months since a difficulty occurred in Fremont township, Santa Clara county, between a number of men concerning tbe possession of a piece of land, Two brothers, named Shore, were concerned in the affray, one of whom was killed. ‘fhree men, named Seale, Robb and Crosby, were arrested, and with great troable were saved from the fury of the populace, who sought to inflict sammary vengeance on their heads. loa other words it was auempt- ed to lynch the accused and thus satisfy the indignation of the people. However, Sherif! Murphy, who ig a man of firmnrss and determination, called out two military com- panies, and the prisoners were lodged eafvly in jail. ‘Tt wes proved that a majority of the citizens in the county were opposed to any violent or uniswful action, though it was believed generally the hom: cide of Shore was unjustifiable. The difficulty re- mained out of public view until last week, when it was renewed under extraordinary circumstances aud with fatal and deplorable reeults. Shore whe received a mortal wound in'the first affray, has a brother who never forgot his enmity towards the men in prieon, nor did he give up the idea of obtaining revenge. The Grand Jury only indicted two of the pri- soners, ignoring the bili presented against Croaby, who was thereupon disci . This circumstence gaye rise ‘to considerable excitement, and the action of Grand Jury was denounced in violet torms at a public mooung called for that purpose. On the 28th ult. the trial of tne accused commenced in San Jose, and the tragical event atone pee related took place in front of the court house on tl iy. ‘The friends of the accused and deceased met on tho street while the preliminary steps at the trial were in progress. Crosby was present with the view of giving his testimony, and had returned from the jail where be bad beep to see Seale. He wasin company with a man nawed Bevan, who was also to bo a witness for the prisoners, when thoy met Shore with a friend. Some words pasced between the men, and firing commenced. The tesumony of witnesses is coollicting as to who fired first, but the result was that Crosby aada man named Ferguson, who, at the time, occupied a seat in the court Toom, were both killed. Several bullets struck the court house, one lodged in the jamb of the door, another passed through the panel of a second door aod struck Fergusoa, the ball entering bis right side. Ferguson was a stranger in San Jose, a miner from Grass Valley and had no oon- nection whatever with the difficulty. fie came for the purpose of accompanying an old friend home to his rela- tives in Missouri, He entered the court house through curiosity and by a most unfortunate accident lost his life. As might bave been expected, the tragical affair has oc- cusioned great excitement, bul the deeda of vioisnce stop- ped with the death of Crosby. At the coroner’s inquest subseqnentiy held it was found that the tire from Crosby ’s Pixtol killed Ferguson. A verdict was rendered in ac- cordance with the facta. The place of trial of Seale ana Robb nas been changed toauotaer county. It commences ud us the principal witness for the defcoce is GENERAL WALKKR—AFFAIRS IN SONORA, Genera! William Walker, with hisfLieatenaat, Bruno Nantzmer, arrived in thin city by the iast stoamer from Pavama. Uf course there is considerad/= speculatian as to the object of: the visit, but nosing has yet transpired to throw Jiznt on this important point. Tue Generai has appeared very little in public, and be travelled under an assumed name. Many sappose his adveut has something to do with an invasion of Sonora, avd it is probabie that State will soon be the theatre of another inroad by this adventurous chieftain. The news from Captain Stove’s party is not at all satisfactory. The occasional visit of an American Wwan-ol-war at Guaymas hag alone prevented an attack on hie party. Any addition to the pre- sent American residents in that town woaid certainly precipitate hostilities. There it a growing desire to emigrate to Sonora, and a& there are agents here who inform the Mexican authorities of every move, any adven- turers leaving Calttorbia would have the eilect of drawing down on the beads of Stone’s party ail Pesquiera’s power. It may be that Walker anticipates gome such result, Any harm inficted on Stone at Guaymas, it is weil known, would raise a whirlwind im Cayfornia, and then it would be an casy matter to gather five thousand men to iavade Sonora and avenge tae wroug. There would be no diffi culty in obtaining means of transportation, and with tae general opinion abroad that such an expedition would forward the views of tho government, it is probable Walker is bore expecting affairs to take this turn, IMPORTANT LEGISLATIVE PROCKRDINGS, ‘The Senate hes passed a biil providing for calling a con- vention to revise the constitution.

There aro serious constitutional objections to this movement. The boundaries of the State are defined in the fondamental law, and it is contended the Legisiavure is without power to alter or restrict these boundaries. But there are o-her objections numerous and poverfal, The porthern or mining counties are avarae to aschema which would increase taxation in their locali- ties; and the opimon ig general that the advocates of alave ry desire to secure anew fivid apon which to introduce negroes and lay the foundations of another save Stace.

The ports of Coquimbo and Caldera are still closed; but the Bolivia, by iaying off the former some distance from the shore, was enabled to communicate with a British ship-of-war in port, which sent a boat alongside, and thus obtained a few particulars of the engagement which had taken place @ few days previously between the revo lutionary forces and the Chilean goverument troops, which resulted in the complete route of the latter, with the loss of some three hundred killed and wounded. The loss of the revolutionists was small. ‘The government forces amounted to about 1,000, and the revolutionists to some 1,200. The news of this sao guinary affair reached Valparaieoon the 1étn of March, just as the steamer was about sailing. Thus a battle had been fought in which the government torces had heen de feated. A few particulars are furniebea by our Panama correspondent. But full details could not be obtaiaed, owing to the fact that the port of Coquimbo was closed when the Englieh steamer passed.

In all probability an action bas taken place by this time, and I may possibly ‘be ablo to communicate the result to the BxRaLp by tho steamer that is to sail today for Pasarha. e ‘The government ia actively engaged in making arrests and sending out of the country persoos who have borne conspicuous parta in the revolution.

J regret to state that Mr. Trevitt, the United States Oon- ‘sal at this piace, bas got into a di ty with the anthori- ties, whicb has resulted in the revocation of nis exequatur, The facte of the case are substantially these:— After the riot of the 28ub ult. bad been suppressed a number of the ringleaders fled for refuge to the Consul’s house, or the bospital premises attached tnereto, aud un- der the supervision of the Consul. It came to the know ledge of the authorities that parties were concealed there who had been conceraed in the riot, and, on the eveaing of the Ist of March, ao officer having got mio the premise- by the back wall, kaw several of the refugees on the bat copy of the bouse; he essayed to arrest them, when the Ounsul’s wife (the Consul being absent at the time) rash- ed hike a berome between the officer and his prey, place? the stars and stripes between bim and the men, and dared him to croes it, or presume to touch ove of the party so long as remaiped upder the roof of the Consulate, this the oflicer paid no attention, but rushed towards the refugees with the intention of arresting them, when the Sonsul’s wife again interpoeed, and he consented to wait antl toe Consnl could be seat for, When he arrived, he was aatu. rajly indignant that bis bouee ehouid have been mwa ied in bie abeence by an armed force: ant wh'is to thia ex cited state be Ssuaulted the officer and disarmed him, The officer says that when he saw the Coasul eo much ex cited apd attemptiog to wrest his sword from him, be thought it beter to pacify him by delivering it over to him, for, if any squabble had occurred, the soldiers— who by this Ume had joined the otlicer—would have upbesitatingly shot down not only the Coasul, bat every one oa the epot. Ip this, toe officer snowed vome prudence; but it is questionable whether he hed any right to enter the Consui’s premises with at armed force without a written order. When the Consul became a jittie cool he demanded of the officer by wha! right he had dared to enter his house? To which the latter replied by eaymg that the country being eptrely under martial law, and having ovgerved standing op tbe baicony of the bouse some of the parties concerned in the outbreak of 28tn Febroary, the avowed obdjuct of which was to overthrow the government, he bad entered the house by right of his oftlce to arrest these parties; but that, if tue Consul wished, ue would addrets a note to the Intenoente asking for a written order to exter his house A note was accordingly despatched to that functionary ta forming bim of the olficer’s being fp the Comaut’s house to arreet rome rebels, and of the Consul’s claiming the right Wo provect them by bis fing. ¥ ‘The Intendente, on receiving this note, immediately wrote at the foot of it for the oflicer to retire from the house with his command, and apy jJogize to the Consul for having intruded, wmeo he did. ‘The next day, or the day following, the Intea- dente huving ascertained that the Conzul had’ no right to give protection to parves who had been ia rebullion against the constituted authorities of the country, ad- cressed the Consul a polite now, requesting him to deliver over to the authorities the political couspiraturs who nad soaght refuge in hie house; to which the Uonsu! replied thathe would only give them up on being compelled to do vo by force, or with the advice of tis Minister. It seems he had written to Mr. Bigler, the United States Minister at Santiago, for advice, but Mr. B. bad answered him by tlegraph that ‘the United States Conaul ought to know his own duty,” thus evading the responsibility of advising in the matter. In the atternoon the Inteaden'e kent the Consul another pote, expressing his regret that the men bad not been delivered. This nove was borne by an officer, accompanied by afew soldiers, witn ‘mstructione to use force if necessary, and take tae men atall hazards. At thie tbe Consul protested, refused w deliver up the men, and hauled down his flag and aban doned the house, The parties who were the occasion of ali this troubla then surrendered to the oftiver. It ig now alleged that Consul Trevitt had previously concocted or connived at the plan of these miserable wretches seeking his hou for refuge] in case of failing iwthe revolt. It is also sala that he bad pledged his word that be bad the right to, and would, protect them against the authority ef the government. of Chile, It ts also said that he bas been in the habit of ex- pressing his optnions strongly in favor of the opposition, and bas even been heard to say, since the riot, “that he believed the government had got ap the riot on parpose to butcher the poor people”? All this coming to the knowledge of the government, they thought it best to withdraw biserequatur; aad I am informed that they intend to institute cricinal procesdings agemet him for complicity with the rioters, deflance 0° the authorities and breach of the Woetner taey have sufficient evidence to substantiate these charges | do vot know; but they must Dave gome proof before taking suca steps.’ Thus far their whole course of proceeding towards Mr. Trevitt has been marked by grea: courtesy. ‘There ie a strong feeling existing here against the Cou- eu! amengst American citizens, who think he transcen ted bis duty, firet, in giving refuge at ali to a parce! of incen diaries who had hoped to fire the town for the purpose of under, ka Second—They aver that he did so by his pretend ing to. have @ right of asylum in bis house for political refugecs, when the law of ossion aud his instructions tell him that be has no immunities of the kind, And thirdly, they allege that he did so by mi ig himself up with the politics of a party whose only object 18 to upset and set aside al! law, order and auras ray, ro as to have free license for piliage, plunder, &s Jn ail this matter it is plain to some persoas, they say, that the government of Chile onght to be held a countanie for the outrage committed against the Consul by tae mva gion of his premises by an armed force. Upon the other hand, it is said to be equally as clear, 68 vupposed, that the Consul has committed an offence against the laws of Chile by refusing to deliver up to the sutborities, upon @ written requi- sition, the parties who bad sought and obtaned an asylum in bis house, kaowmng, aa be did, that they we: obnoxions to the charge of treason against the govern ment uncer Whose official recognition he waa psraaitved Wo act s# Consul for the United States at this port J have barely time to state, before the departure of the steamer, that an engagement has just taken piace at Oo- quimbo between the government troops under Senor Sirs Chaves, and the revolutioniets beaded by Dou Pedro Laon Gallo, in which the former sustained a defeat, having lost three bundred killed and wounded.
