tralia) set the example, passing a law prohibitive
cf Chinese immigration, so heavy was the poll-tax
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 3
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 employment of Chines?, upon public works, and
for ever disqualifies for holding office any officer
who shall administer the oath of naturaliz ttion 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 00
without the usual New York mail leaving on Satur-
days, by which we receive the mass of our comma-
uications, as the City of Boston, on the sth inst.,
got ashore in a heavy snowstorm on the south-we-0
spit outside the harbour of New York while in
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 haY°
been delayed a few days.
THE PROGRESS OF THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.--"A
letter dated Nov. 17, end of the track, Pacific Railroad, at
the 920th mile post west of Omaha, says :—" We have WI
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 10
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 1108
examined 400 miles during this year, and Dr. Durant'
who is here, has all his plans and labour matured so as t°,
reach Ogden, 32 miles north of Salt Lake city, by the l
day of January next. Is it not marvellous ! The road isA
as well constructed at the west end as the parts we Ws'''.
over tocether last summer. At Laramie had the pleasur°
of meeting my friend, Gen. Barnes, of your city, one of 010
commission of engineers who was sent to examine and rei
port on the whole road. He was open in his expressions°
admiration of the wonderful work.
If Mr. George Wilkes lost his money on In°
eachment he won it on the Presidential ticket, and
,%.°onfident was ho about the result that we dare say all 'TI
friends ho could influence won largely as well. Whe-
t°
this is published he will probably have reached Paris
recruit, after the exhaustion of the hard work he did
the late campaign. He worked for General Grant
amore, in the firm belief that when he assumed the reit%
of Government the country would settle down into PeL3e.t
and prosperity; and believing this, it is no wonder ill.
he gave himself little rest until that result was attaine
We are !glad to welcome to Europe the editor and Pre°
prietor of the Spirit, and we trust that during his ,thro
months holiday ;he will be restored to health. lif;°,,u
Paris he proposes to pay Madrid a short visit, in
case only will he write for the Spirit. Indeed, not I°l
ago, Mr. Wilkes published in his paper a journal of
travels in Europe, so far as England and France are r°
corned ho would only be going over the same gr°,l.l„lj .
We may also mention here that the Hon. S. S. CoXI
gressional Representative Elect for the Sixth niStri'
New York, has also arrived in Europe.
Another splendid screw steamer called the 0,
of' Brooklyn, has been launched for the Inman Line o°l.,
the yard of rod and M'Gregor. Her length over 41,1c1
370 feet; breadth, 42 feet; depth, 28 feet 6 inches'
her tonnage 3,000 tons, B.M. for passenger accool°3°:be
tion will be most ample ; indeed, in this respect, and
general finish and fitting-up of the vessel, she will ecl'at,
if not surpass, the other first-class ships of the same e°64
pany's fleet, of which she will be the largest. The ,log
of Brooklyn will be propelled by horizontal directear:.,i,
surface-condensing engines of 430-horse power no'n';
and they can easily be wrought up to about 2,000 ro'd,
Among the gentlemen present when she was 11111°,0
Dec. 2, were Win. Inman; Esq., of Liverpool; Jarnes'ioe
Esq.; Rev. Mr. M'Coll, Particle ; the ceremony of naln;
her being gracefully performed by Miss Finley, Witld6p,
terrace. The vessel moved off the ways in beautiful slot
and was brought to in mid-channel without the sligli.„ a
hitch. Of course there was feasting on the occasion; ''.o4
we hope this magnificent vessel is destined for a long 3
serviceable career.
'rho trial of Mr. Jefferson Davies, a cable to (
gram informs us, has been further adjourned until
his bail being renewed. A special telegram states tbPa,
motion was ma le in the Circuit Court, held at Richal°3r,
before Chief Justice Chase and the District Judge (MI ci
wood), to have the indictment against Mr. Davis (1057,eut
on technical grounds ; that the Chief Justice was iu favci to
of the motion, but, as Judge Cuth•r wood was opP°3° re
it, the arguments for and against it will have to 10
