CALIFORNIA TREES.—A letter from San Francisco
gives the following account of some of the trees in that vi-
cinity. The trees here grow to an enormous size and height.
One tree in this wood, cut down since I came here, averages
11 feet 3 inches through the butt, and after working it 150
feet, it measured 8 feet through ; the tree was 250
,feet in
length. I understand there is one on the opposite side of the
bay still larger than this, sufficiently so to drive and turn a
two-horse team and cart oa the stump. There has been
apparently some years back a large tire in this wood, which
burnt a great many of the trees hollow at the butt : houses
are made of these hollows, and some of them sufficiently
large to accommodate three or four persons very comfortably,
so you can form some idea of their size.—Anew York Ad-
vertiser.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1850.

An intimation of a rather extraordinary character,
respecting the projected erection of a new bridge
across the Thames at Westminster, has recently made
its appearance. Viewing the entire scheme as one of
a very suspicious description, and seeing that it is
calculated to squander most unnicessarily a large
amount of the public moneys, without tending to remove
the present liability of such a structure to fall into a
state of dilapidation, we feel ourselves, even at this
early period, compelled to enter our most earnest
objections to the undertaking, and to proffer those sug-
gestions which seem to us calculated to clear up
many existing difficulties, or apparently insurmount-
able obstacles.

of an intended revolt, also diverted the
public attention from the landlord and
tenant question, which remained uncared for
and unheeded, while the representatives of the people
were occupied on topics of inferior interest.

The atrocious murder of the late Mr. MAULEVERER
—a murder directly springing from agrarian causes—
and which has been perpetrated partly in conse-
quence of the race between the different landlords to
secure their own portions of the rent, and partly on
account of the numerous ejectments that had
been served after the death of the " mid-
dleman"—however, proves that the time has
at length arrived when some decisive step must
be taken if we desire to prevent the total demoraliza-
tion of the Irish people. There is now, happily,
every prospect of an abundant harvest that will afford
some degree of compensation for the sufferings and
disasters of the last five years. Land is again be-
coming valuable, its possession will be eagerly de-
sired, and the " uncertainty of tenure" will again be
referred to as a pressing grievance that paralyses
every exertion on the part of the tenantry, and places
an insurmountable obstacle in the way of improvement.
The landlords, toe, will have immense power in con-
sequence of the large arrears that have accumulated
in almost every part of the country during the late
famine. There is, therefore, but too much reason to
fear that the " clearance system," which has led to
such fatal results whenever it has been attempted,
may be resorted to, and that bloodshed and mur-
ders will be rife throughout the length and breadth of
the land.

It was under such circumstances that the Ho-
nourable Gentleman the Member for East
Sussex brought for ward his Bill, mot for
the purpose of appeasing the mutual distrust which
unfortunately separate the classes of landlord and
tenant, but for facilitating the process of ejectment
and evictions in Ireland I Undeterred by the melan-
choly event to which we have alluded, Mr. FREwEN
desired to give a summary jurisdiction to maxis •
trates at petty sessions, by which the delays
and expenses now necessary before the wretched
peasant can be driven from house and home,
and the process which has been but too
correctly described as one of "extermination," can be
indulged in. The general feeling cf the House was,
however, so strongly exhibited that the Hon. Gentle-
man consented to the rejection of the Bill without
a division. This is as it should be, but the matter
should not be suffered to rest there. There is yet
time to pass a large and comprehensive measure, even
within the present session, and we can scarcely
suppose that the Government are not prepared
with a Bill which, if not as complete as could
be desired, would still effect a considerable improve-
ment on the existing system. We have heard from
Lord DEVON, that "if a tenant is removed from land
he has occupied he is looked on as an injured man,
and the decree too often goes out for vengeance on
landlord or ag---nt, and on the man who succeeds to
the farm." That " at times a large numerical pro-
portion of the neighbourhood look with indiffer-
ence on the most atrocious acts of violence,
and by screening the criminal abet and
encourage the crime." That "murders are per-
petrated at noonday, on a public highway, and
whilst the assassin coolly retires the people look on
and evince no horror ut the bloody deed." The cir-
cumstances connected with the " Crossmaglen assassi-
nation" show how fearfully accurate was this descrip-
tion published in February, 1845. The causes still
are suffered to continue, and the results are the same.
Mr. POULETT SCRUFF, whose sympathy for the
suffering peasantry and unremitting exertions
for the amelioration of their wretched condition
are beyond all praise, thus describes the
state of affairs in the Kilrush Union, where
within the last three years 20,000 human beiags out
of a population, which in 1841 amounted to but 82,000
individuals, have been turn( d from their homes
and their houses for the most part levelled :
" Wherever I went—said the Honourable Gentle-
man—and I drove in many directions over the union,
I passed continually the traces of the 'levellers.'
Sometimes eight or ten broken gables of stone
built houses were seen to rear their

It is proposed, fur example, in the plan against
which we would now direct our arguments, that a
temporary woolen bridge shall be erected in a conve-
nient position, whilethe old stone bridge at Westmins-
ter is being pulled down and a new one built upon
almost the same identical site—a site which we have
discovered to our cost to afford but rotten ground for
the foundations, and to place in perpetual
jeopardy the security and symmetry of the
entire superstructure. This temporary bridge will
be erecter , say the promoters, for the purpose of pre-
venting any injurious interruption of the immense
traffic flowing continually to and fro between Lambeth
and Westminster. It will require an outlay of
100,0001. !-100,000/. lavished upon a building des-
tined only to an evanescent existence !-100,0001.
more dropped prodigally down the river, adding ano-
ther costly offering to the wealth already, according
to the gorgeous imagination of SMAKSFERE, accumu-
lated in

" —the ooze and bottom cf the deep,
With sunken wreck and su mless treasury!"
For virtually the money dedicated to the fabrication
of a merely temporary bridge is so much specie
thrown away. Now whence arises the necessity for
any such perishable edifice? Simply from the se-
lection of the locality now occupied by the old
bridge as the site for the erection of a more
commodious and ornamental lire of communica-
tion between Lambeth and Westminster. Than
this same very simple selection nothing
could be more absurdly injudicious. As if we have
not had sufficient testimony already afforded us of
the unsuitableness of that particular part of the
Thames for the building up of any such costly struc-
ture ! Besides which it has long been obvious to all
parties at all qualified to pronounce an opinion upon
the subject, that the present bridge at Westminster is
altogether in too close proximity with the new
Houses of Parliament. Removed somewhat lower down
the river, a much finer view might be commanded of
that superb palace of the Legislature ; while, more-
over, it is equally certain that such a removal would
interfere in no way injuriously with the trade of
either Lambeth or Westminster. Upon this im-
portant feature of the question we are fully decided,
having considered it neither lightly nor super-
ficially. A few very indifferent and decaying
houses on the Middlesex side of the Thames
houses which must inevitably be swept
away in a few more years in consequence
of the progress of metropolitan improvement, and the
trade value of which is already rapidly diminishing—
alone plead for the continuance of the permanent
bridge in its present situation. Against the petty
consideration of a few individuals, easily com-
pensated, supposing compensation were deemed
at all requisite, we would here advance all the
manifold benefits and advantages certaia to accrue
from the selection of another locality for the new
bridge to be erected at Westminster. Say that
the spot chosen were the one which we would here
ourselves suggest as altogether about the most suit-
able and convenient stretching from somewhere
about Derby-street on this side of the Thames to
the opposite bank in Surrey. Derby-street running
down to the river from Parliament-street, hard by
the end of Cannon-row, and in the immediate vicinage
of Richmond-terrace to the north, and of the
Board of Control to the south, appears
to our thinking to present all the advan-
tages that could possibly be derived under the
circumstances. With roadways bending off from
either extremity of the new bridge, like the upper
branches of the letter 17—extending in Surrey, north-
wards by the York-road towards Waterloo-bridge,
and southwards across Lambeth-road towards New-
ington; leading also on the other hand, in Middle-
sex, northwards along Whitehall, and southwards by,
the projected street to be named after her MA•
JEST; through the very heart of Westminster—
the existing line of traffic would be
preserved almost uninterruptedly, and new ones
opened calculated to prove peculiarly beneficial. By
this arrangement trade could receive, instead of in-
jury or detriment, a new and estimable impetus,
while the sum estimated as necessary for the pro-
jected structure, namely, 350,000/., would prove
adequate, without requiring the extravagant expendi-
ture of another 10000/. upon a wooden bridge of
merely temporary utility. The site of the louses of
Parliament would likewise be materially improved,
and the chances of the renewed sinking of the
foundations of Westminster. bridge become in the
most effectual manner obviated.

blackened and skeleton frames against the
sky, betokening what had once been a
comfortable hamlet, now a pile of ruins.
Sometimes a few mere heaps of dirt, almost choked
by the weeds which grew around, announced the
wreck of a mud hovel. Some were single, some in
twos or threes ; at times a whole street in a village
had been destroyed. I seemed to be tracking the
course of an invading army." Yet this is the system
which it has been attempted not merely to perpetuate,
but even to extend. Surely we cannot be considered
as unduly urgent in calling upon her MAJESTY'S
Ministers to lose no further time before introducing a
measure that will be adequate to the emergency, and
that v, ill effectually prevent occurrences such as
should never have been witnessed in a Christian land.

In another portion of our impression of this day
will be found intelligence of the landing, in Cuba, of
the piratical expedition, under LOPEZ. The Ame-
rican fleet either could not or would not overtake
him, and he has landed, at the head of five hundred
men, at Cardenas, and taken that town, the garrison
of which, consisting of sixty men, surrendered to him,
after having lost three out of their number. The
authorities at the Havannah had proclaimed the
whole island under martial law ; the militia was
called out, and foreigners were called upon
to enrol themselves for the defence of the island
against the marauders. Serious remonstrances have
no doubt been presented to the Government of the
United States by the Spanish Minister at Washing-
ton, remonstrances in which we cannot for a moment
doubt but that our Ambassador, as the representative
of those who have a mortgage on the island for
6,000,0001., and who therefore are interested in its
continuing part of the Spanish dominions, has ener-
getically joined. The Government of the United States
is bound by treaty to send troops and ships to Cuba to
expel LOPEZ from the island should he succeed in ob-
taining possession of it, as the United States has, on
condition that Spain should bind herself never to
dispose of Cuba to any foreign Government, solemnly
guaranteed the possession of Cuba to Spain. That
the Government of the United States will, if it be not
too weak to have a will, perform this guarantee
we have no doubt. That the Anti-Slavery
party in the northern states will aid the
Government in its endeavours to, enforce
the honest observance of the treaty with Spain we
have as little doubt; but we much doubt whether the
Government and the Anti-Slavery party united have
the power to enforce the observance of this treaty
against the wishes of the slave-holding states, who
would certainly rather break up the union with the
northern states than forego the immense accession
of power which the possession of Cuba must
of necessity give to them. It is fortunate
that we have such a man as Sir HENRY BULWER to
represent us at Washington; be, above all men, unites
the suaviter in modo to the
_Prater in re, and he will
have need of both in conducting the negotiations
which must necessarily arise out of this Cuban affair,
a matter which we fear it will be impossible for him
to settle so speedily or so satisfactorily as he did the
affair of Nicaragua.

Gladly shall we witness the acceptance of some
such scheme as this by her MAJESTY'S Government;
and eagerly do we look forward to the time when not
only this shall be accomplished, but when another
new bridge shall be thrown over the river near the
palace of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, and a third
yet higher up the Thames leading to that long-
talked-of park at Battersea, which, like so many other
brilliant projects, still remains in nubibus among the
plans of metropolitan improvement.

More than five years have elapsed since the publi-
cation of the report of the " Devon Commission."
The vast importance of the subject so accurately in-
vestigated by the Noble Lord and his efficient co .
adjutors, and the beneficial and practical character of
the recommendations contained in that valuable docu-
ment, were admitted by persons of all classes and
grades in society, and there was a general expectation
that some decisive measures would be speedily enacted
for the solution of the principal Irish difficulties,

is therefore to be noted as evidence which may at
some future time be brought forward against them,
we do not attach that importance to the carrying of
this law which some of our contemporaries, more es.
pecially those on the other side of the Channel, seem
disposed to attach to it, and we see no reason to mo-
dify the opinion which we gave when the law was
first proposed, that it would not and could not affect
seriously the result of the town elections. We believe
that if an election were to come on for Paris to-morrow
the result under the new franchise would be precisely
the same that it was under universal suffrage,and in every
large town the same result will occur. The parties
who will really suffer by the action of the
Electoral Bill will be, not the Republicans, but
the Legitimntists and the Parti-pretre, and M.

seeing than his compeers when he pathetically
asked what was to becorkie of his bold peasants.

and if you now work for the restoration of Monarchy,
it will be for an Orleanist, not a Legitimatist Mo-
narchy. The result of the Electoral Bill will be to
disfranchise many Socialists, but more Legitimatists,
and by these disfranchisements to increase the rela-
tive voting force of the Orleanists as compared with
that of the Socialists or the Legitimatists, but to
diminish their voting force as compared with that of
the Moderate Republicans. The bourgeoisie of the
towns will not again submit to the tyranny of the
nobles, which they shook off in 1830, neither will
they again suffer themselves to be fleeced by the pecu-
lating Ministers of the Citizen King, or their fami-
lies to be corrupted by the examples of the Dujarriers,
the De Beauvallons, the Graniers de Cassagnacs, the
Testes, the Cubieres, or the De Praslins—they are

has the voting power been thrown by the new Bill.
The working of it will soon be tested in the depart-
ment of the Cher, but we feel convinced that, let a

under the new law it will give not only a working
but a commanding majority to that party which
acknowledges as its leaders Generals CAVAIGNAC and

THE UNITED STATES.

THE CUBAN EXPEDITION.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNING.

The new steam-ship Pacific, Captain Nye, has
just arrived in our river, with one day's later Intel.
ligence from the United States than that received by
way of Halifax, per the Niagara.
The Pacific, which is one of the Collins' line of
steam-ships, left New York on the 25th ult.
Although her news is not of much extent, it is of
more than usual importance.

The steamer Ohio had arrived at New York from
Havannah on the 24th of May, having left that port
on the 20th.

General Lopez had landed at C irdenas with 500
men, and took that town. The garrison of sixty
soldiers, after some resistance and three men being
killed, surrendered to the Americans. Oae thousand
more of Lopez's forces were expected to land.
The greatest panic prevailed at Havannah. The
city was under martial law ; militia being enrolled
in every direction. The resident foreigners were
also called upon
to enrol themselves.
The Captain-General had issued a ploclamation,
declaring Cuba in a state of siege and blockade, and
announcing that all prisoners taken from the invaders
will be shot. All persons who aided the Americans
with money, food, or provisions, were ordered to be
shot.

Two thousand troops have been sent against
Lopez. At the time of the steamer leaving Havannab,
it was reported that Lopez's force had increased to
2,000 men.

This is the only item of political interest in the
advices.

The commercial news represents business as being
in a comparatively fair state throughout. the Union.
The quotations of stocks were unchanged. The ac-
counts from Cuba had only reached on the night pre-
vious to the Pacific's sailing. Their operation on the

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at irom 5,000 to 6,000 bales, all to the trade. The
market closed heavily for Americas, owing to the large
quantity offered. Surats were el. lb. dearer, but Ame-
rican and all other kinds at about previous rates.—The
Market for Railway Shares opened heavily, but closed at
rather highee quotations.
The Colonial Markets have been steady this week,
and at fuller prices. A larger business bas been done.
The following is from Messrs. Schroeder and Mullins,
of New Orlram:

" Cotton—The period elapsed since the date of our
last Circular of the 19th ult. has witnessed a gradually
upward tending market, the same being under the in-
fluence of favourable accounts from abroad, the certainty
of the last crop being a shcrt one, and the very unsatis-
factory advices from the interior respecting the growing
crop, which,. besides being retarded in its progress by
an unpropitious spring, is now being damaged in many
sections by extensive overflows. All accounts from
above concur in reporting that large tracts of country
in some of the beat cotton regions of Mississippi and
Louisiana are under water, and that planters will
be obliged to replant. Under these circumstances,
holders offer their stock sparingly, and manifest
great indifference about selling, even at our present
advanced rates. They find another support for main-
taining] their position in the extraordinary advantage
which the staple has in the present state of freights and
exchange.,, the leanr being unusually high for the
period of the season, and the former depressed beyond
precedent. The demand for Cotton has been fair, with-
out being animated, the reduced stock offering, and the
high pretensions of holders holding buyers in check.
Our receipts from Louisiana and Mississippi show a
deficiency of 223,440 'bales, compared with last year,
whilst those from Tennessee, Alabama, and Arkansas,
overrun the arrivals of last season by 32,464 bales.
Our stock of Cotton in presses and on ship board is this
day 146,168 bales. against 184,843 bales last season.
Cape of Good Hope advices of April 10 furnish no
news of particular interest.
In the Continental markets Public Securities have
again risen.
The English Funds are rather lower again, and the
realisation of profits on the late advance is still in

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

stood did not meet with the approval of the Right Ha.
Gentleman who:bad just sat down, but whether it did or
no it was his intention to move that it be altogether ex;
punged from the Bill. It was clear to him that it could
not be carried out, for it was well know
that the majority of farm buildings in this
country were built with wood—a Perishable
article, liable to he easily destroyed by fire,
and it would therefore be quite useless to advance money
ibr their erection, without at the same time making
provision for the renewal and preservation.—(6t
hear.) He begged to move that the clause be altge ,
omitted from the Bill.—(Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN said, before that motion could be
made the Chancellor of the Exchequer had an aniel3"‘
meet to move.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
moved the omission of certain words relating to What's
age, and, after a shoit discussion, the motion 1/1
agreed to.

building which was calculated to confer vast boefi w
upon the agricultural interest, and particularly im

Mr. MILES was opposed to advancing money for faro
buildings. The money ought to be confined s.niorl'i

Sir F. THESIGER said he had no hesitation it
such an undertaking.
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—Then you may take
Rule nisi actor dingly.

On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill,
Mr. TRELAWTNY opposed the Bill. They could
not afford to impose an additional tax on the people for
the purpose of carrying the object of the Bill into
effect, and ho thought it bad taste that so
many landlords should be in attendance to
give their support to it when they were so ready to
vote against all other proposals to increase taxation.
He considered that the money required by this Bill
could be applied to purposes much more for the benefit
and advantage of the country. The Hon. Member con-
cluded by proposing that they should go into Committee
on the Bill that day six months.
Col. THOMPSON seconded the amendment.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped,
as the Bill had alre,dy been sanctioned by the Hous>,
that the Honourable Member would not persevere in his
amendment,:

Mr. SLANEY also hoped the Hon. Gentleman woui
not go to a division on his amendment. Ile could bear
testimony to the utility and advantage which resultea
from parties being enabled to otstein advances to set
persons at work iu their particular distriers in drainage
operations, and as that was the object of the present
measure, it had his hearty support. There was one
suggestion, however, which he wished to throw out to
the Government. It happened that parties were
earnestly desirous to borrow money for the sake cf per-
manent improvements, and that other parties in the
same neighbourhood were anxious to advance that
money, and he thought the Government might, under
such circumstances, enable the one party to burrow and
the other to lend, by means of similar machinery to
that contained in this Bill. At present great trouble
and expense was oceristoned by the investigation which
had to be made into the title of the borrowing party.
Ile called upon the House to relieve the borrower from
the useless perplexity of the law. There were innume-
rable parties ready to adiance money, but the man who
wanted it for the imerovement of his estate, and the em-
ployment of his labourers, was precluded from borrowing
by the absurd intricacies of the law, and he, therefore,
called upon Government to take the matter up.
Sir J. TROLLOPE said it might be infertel from the
remarks of the Hon. Member fur Tavistoek that the
landed interest ware petitioning Government fur loans,
but so far from that being the case, the vast majority oe
the landowners of England were opposed to the Bill.
After a few words from Mr. F. MACKENZIE, who
supported the Bill,
Mr. HUME said he was opposed to all Bills of
this nature, believing, as he did, that all land-
owners who bad good security to offer would
find no difficulty in obtaining money, but he
hsd been told that in many parts of the United. Kingdom
difficulties of that nature did exist, and he therefore
could not object to the measure now. Besides, the
House bad already adopted the principle, and he did
nut think any Hon. Member after that approval cosild
resist the motion for going into Committee. Still,
though he did not now feel himself called upon to op-
pose the principle, he was bound to state that there
were details in the measure which he never could agree
to. For instance, it would appear that some of this
money might be expended on !arm buildings, or prdvie
stone, which he thought ought not to be agreed to, and
therefore, when the House got into Committee, he should
endeavour to get it expunged from the Bill.—(Hear.)
Mr. TRELAWNY wished to reply, but
The SPEAKER told him that as the mover of the
amendment he was not allowed the privilege.
The House then divided, when there appeared--
For the amendment ... 4
Against it ... ... 73 •
Majority ...
The House the n went into Committee.
Mr. MACKENZIE hoped that the Chancellor of th,
Exchequer would re-consider that part of the grant
which was to be appropriated to England.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wa,
quite willing to grant to Scotland all that justice re-
quired. But he must remind the Honourable Gentle- ;scare.
man that Scotland had already had advances to the
amount Of 1,600,0001. in the same time that England
had only received 373,0001., half of which bad beet
given to the five northern counties. The grants had
bees apportioned. according to priority of application.
and he must say that great credit was due to
Scotland for its promptitude and sharpness in apply-
ing for these grants. What he proposed, however.
was to require all applications to be sent in by a certain
day; and would apportion out a certain sum among
the counties and make the grants 'according to the ap-
plication, having a certain regard to priority of
application; arid that those sums which 'were not
claimed would fall into a general fund, applicable to
similar circumstances.
Mr. H. DRUMMOND said there was no doubt that
'Seetland required more drainage than England. Hi
could not get the farmers in his part of the country ta
drain, because, in fact, they had no frith in any as-
sistence which the House of Commons might pro-
mise, because they had so often broken faith with
them. Unless some facilities or assistance were given
to small proprietors of land, they must 'give up their
holdings.
Lord HARRY VANE quite agreed with the. Hon.
Member for Surrey, in so far as Ids last obserratien
was concern( d, for no one cauld deny that great distraia
'prevailed amongst small holders, which 'meld only be
removed by giving them facilities for raising money
on easy terms. The small owner had no 'prosPect.
but ruin before him if he could not obtain money
to 'improve his land. Vast -improvements ehad been
- made in many parts of the country, by private en-
terprise, but that resource was rapidly becoming ex-
hausted, and it was therefore highly desirable thet'a
,Bill
of, this nature ehould" be passed as speedily as
possible. ,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob-
served that they had met for the purposat of diapatchitig
business, and he hoped Hon. Members would bet waste.
time 'in Useles'S'discaepieni of this. nature.
Mr. K SEYMER approied of the Bill. •
ELLIS said, though he was a Freeitrader he
admitted- the importance of advanding money td improve
.the land of. the country. Nothing could be done with-.
out .it ; and he, for one, would much rather ;SO

• Sir Ih. W. BARRON was aluppOrter of the Bill,
bat still he. was bound to tell the house that
although he had borrowed money under the
,Act,- which he had expended in improvements 'on his
farms, the farms themselves had'been thrown' Upon his'
own bands. The former holders, who had rented thein
at moderate rates, would not pay the increased rent
which the drainage had rendered- naCesebry; staid the

extensive measure were lasied fcir their especial relief.
Without seine measure of relief the landlords its Ireland
were in such a condition as not to -be able to give em-
ployment to the mass 'of poor people 'in that country.
He would support the clause.
After a few words from 114,. TR4r.,ANVNYthii; clause
WAS agreed to. • •
Clause 2 was then agreed to • • •, • -
• On clause 3 being proposed, . •
