tralia) set the example, passing a law prohibitive
cf Chinese immigration, so heavy was the poll-tar
levied, which, of course, was evaded by the Chinese
landing elsewhere and crossing the boundaries.
Now Oregon proposes to follow suit; a bill being
introduced into the State Legislature levying a
licence fee on each Chinaman employed of $l5 a
month, employers to be responsible, and $lO for
every Chinaman conveyed into the State in ves-
sels, the ship being responsible. The bill prohibits
the employmeut of Chinese upon public works, and
for ever disqualifies for holding office any officer
who shall administer the oath of naturalization to
a Chinaman. Oregon thus furnishes an example
for those who advocate the transfer of the power
of framing naturalization laws from States to the
Federal Government,—one of the great battles of
the future.

We fear that next week we shall have to get on
without the usual New York mail leaving on Satur-
days, by which we receive the mass of our commu-
nications, as the City of Boston, on the sth inst.,
got ashore in a heavy snowstorm on the south-west
spit outside the harbour of New York while ill
charge of a pilot. The injury she sustained was
confined to the loss of her rudder and outer stern-
post. She went ashore at 4 p.m., and floated off
without assistance at 7.30 p.m., and it is probable
that she will leave New York with the mails to-
day. Her passengers, cargo, and mail-bags were
transferred to the City of New York, which was to
leave as soon as possible, but we fear she must have
been delayed a few days.

THE PROGRESS OF THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.—A
letter dated Nov. 17, end of the track, Pacific Railroad, st
the 920th mile post west •f Omaha, says :—" We have now
come into the region west of Fort Bridger which furnishes
ties, and for the next forty or fifty miles they are distri-
buted on the grade. Up to this point they have had to be
transported about 300 miles. The weather is superb;
should it continue the road will extend at the rate of from
three to four miles per day. The commissioners have
examined 400 miles during this year, and Dr. Durant,
who is here, has all his plans and labour matured so as to
reach Ogden, 32 miles north of Salt Lake city, by the Ist
day of January next. Is it not marvellous ! The road is
as well constructed at the west end as the parts we passed
over together last summer. At Laramie had the pleasuro
of meeting my friend, Gen. Barnes, of your city, one of the
commission of engineers who was sent to examine and re-
port on the whole road. lie was open in his expressions of
admiration of the wonderful work.

If Mr. George Wilkes lost his money on Im-
peachment he won it on the Presidential ticket, and so
confident was he about the result that we dare say all his
friends he could influence won largely as well. When
this is published he will probably have reached Paris to
recruit, after the exhaustion of the hard work ho did in
the late campaign. He worked for General Grant cos
amore, in the firm belief that when he assumed the reins
of Government the country would settle down into peace
and prosperity ; and believing this, it is no wonder that
he gave himself little rest until that result was attained*
We are !glad to welcome to Europe the editor and Pre'
prietor of the Spirit, and we trust that during his three
months holiday :he will be restored to health. Front
Paris he proposes to pay Madrid a short visit, in which
case only will he write for the Spirit. Indeed, not long
ago; Mr. Wilkes published in his paper a journal of his
travels in Europe, so far as England and Franca are core
cerned he would only be going over the same ground'
We may also mention here that the Hon. S. S. Cox, von;
gressioual Representative Elect for the Sixth District ca
New York, has also arrived in Europe.
Another splendid screw steamer called the Cilg
of Brooklyn, has been launched for the Inman Line frcea
the yard of I'od and M‘Gregor. Her length over all
is
370 feet ; breadth, 42 feet ; depth, 28 feet 6 inches ; and
her tonnage 3,000 tons, B.M. Her passenger acconamoda"
tion will be most ample ; indeed, in this respect, and in the
general finish and fitting-up of the vessel, she will Wu"
if not surpass, the other first-claSs ships of the same co°.
pauy's fleet, of which she will be the largest. The City
of Brooklyn will be propelled by horizontal direct-actleg
int,rface-cundensing engines of 450-horse power noiniani
and they can easily be wrought up to about 2,000 il•r*
Among the gentlemen present when she was launched'
Dec. 2, were Win. Inman, Esq., of Liverpool ; J antes get d,
Esq.; Rev. Mr. M'Coll, Partici: ; the ceremony of naraias
her being gracefully performed by Miss Finley, Windsor-
torrace. The vessel moved off the ways in beautiful styl
and was brought to in mid-channel without the slightest
hitch. Of course there was feasting on the occasion ; 91a
we hope this magnificent vessel is destined for a long and
serviceable career.
The trial of Mr. Jefferson Davies, a cable tele"
grain informs us, has been further adjourned until 31aY'
his bail being renewed. A special telegram states that
motion was ma le in the Circuit Court, held at Riebuloo4l
before Chief Justice Chase and the District Judge (Under;
woid), to have the indictment against Mr. Davis quashed
on technical grounds; that the Chief Justice was in favour
of the unction, but, as Judge Underwood was opposedto
it, the arguments for and against it will have to he re
putted before the Supreme Court, at Washiugton.
