SrRINGFIELp, Feb, @, 1913.


On Saturday last nothing was done in either
branch Of the legislature of law-making nature,
as the whole day was consumed in attending the
funeral rites Of Hon John Green, member from the
county Of Greene, who died on Friday afternoon,
after an illness of about two weeks. The funeral
sermon was delivered in the hall of the house of
representatives, before an immense concourse Of
people, by the Rev. Mr.. Dodge, of the Baptist
order.
This morning the canal bill was taken up and
passed, without debate, by vote of 81 to 81, ard
is now in the possession of the senate | hope
and think that the senate will act upon and pass
it speedily.
Mr. Ryan's health which has been bad for some
days past, is improving, and be tells me this eve
ming that he will be in his seat tomorrow, if the
canal bill isto be acted upon. 1t is greatly to be
desired that he should be there when the bill is
considered, as it will doubtless be attacked in eve
ry shape and manner, as it has been in the house,
and it will require the support of those who I'M
dcrstand the subject well, and who are able sue
cessiully TO defend it in all it part5.--The hill has
undergone great deal of consideration, both in
the committee which reported it and in the house,
and think is as perfect as it can be, containing
all the provisions for the settlers on canal lands,
and creditors of the canal fund that can be cngraf-
ted in it, without defeating the grand object of the
bill, viz, the completion Of the canal. Should
there be any complaint that the interests of those
connected with the canal have not been so fully
protected as they wish, it may be replied that it
was impossible to protect them further without,
in my opinion, defeating the whole object of the
bill. Yours, in haste,

From Mexico,

From the New Orleans Picayuno Of the 9Th
ult. we take the following particulars of the capture
of Monterey, in Upper California, by Commodore
Jones, of which mention was made in this paper
Of the 9th Ian, as also the other news from Mex
leo given below.
1t seems that, early in September last,
and while the American squadron was ly-
ing in Callao, the insolent letter Of M. de
Bocanegra was received at that place and
in addition, advices were received by the
u. S. consul aud others residing in Cal
lao, that war had already commenced, or
was about to take place, between Mexico
and the United States, and that the former
was in treaty to cede Upper California to
the English government to raise money to
carry on the war. On the same evening,
the British squadron, lying at Callao, sci
sail, destination unknown, and, under the
circumstances, it was more than probable
that California was the point for Which it
was bound. Com. Jones Immediately got
under way with the vessels then in port,
consisting of the lrigate United States, and
sloops of war Cyane and Dale. On the
passage the Dale was sent into Panama.
the other vessels continuing the voyage to
California.
On the 10Th November, Com. Jones ar
rived at Monterey, the capital of Upper
California, anchored close in with his two
vessels. having springs upon their cables,
and sent Capt. Armstrong, of the frigate,
on shore with terms for a surrender. The
governor of California, AlvMato, was al
lowed some eighteen hours to consider
the terms, which were TO the effect that
the fort and all the government stores were
to be surrendered to the United States,
while all private property of the officers
and citizens was TO be respected. This
was in the evening.
About l2 o'clock a, night the governor
sent commissioners on board the frigate
with the capitulation. 1t was signed by
himself, and surrendered the whole OF
Upper California to the United States.
On the next day, at twelve o'clock, de-
tachment eff 100 scamen and marines was
sent OH shore, formal possession OF the
fort was taken, and the flag of the United
States was hois,ed. The entire popula-
ton, according to all accounts, appeared
TO be highly pleased with the transfer Of
the government into the hands Of the Uni-
