Messrs Howard & Son. owners OF the Crescent
City line, have contracted with Perrine, Patterson
Il Stack, of WILLIAMSBURG, for the building OF
splendid steamer, of $50 feet in length, 40 feet
beam, and 1000 tuns burden. Her engines will be
made at the Morgan Works, and are 10 be of the
most complete end substantial manufacture She
is intended for the Pacific side of the line.
HUNGARIaSs FOR CAIIFoRSIA.--We understand
that among the passengers of the Philadelphia,
which sails on Saturday for Chagress, there are
four exiled Hungarian gentlemen, who intend to
make California their bone Mr.. Rombauer, who
filled during the late war in unhappy Hungary, the
| high post of Chief Of the Government Factories of
Arms as well as two Of his fellow travellers, (who
have been Inspectors IN the same department.
have attended to the working oil mines IN their
own country for many years previous to the tate
struggle for independence and are experienced
and scientific miners. Mr.. Fornet, Of the En-
eineers, who commanded the Corps OF Sappers
under General BEN, is an experienced Surveyor
and Engineer Two of these exiles have left large
families at home Mr. Mombauer, who is an in
innate acouaiutance Of the ilustrious kossuth,
had two sons engaged il the defense of their coun-
try. one of them fell on the battlefield IN Transyl-
vania and the other was enlisted as private IN the
Austrian service after the surrender OF the traitor
| 66rcev. We wish this small party all possible
success and may also prophecy as much to them;
for az these exiles have found friends here IN this
city who have sympathzed with and advised
them. so we trust that cur fellow citizens on the
Pacific Coast will give them hearty and friendly
welcomes while there is undoubtedly large field
open to them, to put their skill and cxpererce into
nrsct,ce. Since the future greatness Of California
will in great measure depend Oh the fourishing
of her industry we cannot but rejolct to see such
scientific and experienced men turn Their steps
tow ard that land of promise.
DIyoRcEs-There is a law OF the State, we be
lieve, rendering it percmPtory GA all Clerks oil
Courts to furnish legal proceedings to any person
demanding them. The Judges OF the Supreme
Court however. at their meeting in Albany, incor-
porated a rule, which had been hastily no doubt,
granted by the late Chancellor, prohibiting the pro-
ceedinas In divorce cases (which are usually had
in some Attorneys office to be shown to any per-
son except the Attorneys in the or the parties
in interest and the rule, we believe, the Clerks
consider themselves bound to obey, rather than the
Statute, although many case of niquity, it is to
be feared. is bound up in it, and the ibertine and
seducer permitted to go at large, his conduct un
known and unsus pected, except to the sufferers
when public policy and Justice would be oenehueu
by its being made public.
Like all other things the matter IS made to as
sumo still narrower form, ana an unwiNlnshes'
is apparent of ever letting parties and the puonc
being informed through the ordinary operation OF
suits which have been entered. The motive may
be good. but its effect otentimes injurious. IL Is
not unreouent that parties find themselves divorced
and the first notice they had that ever a SUIT had
been entered, was the decree ot-Diyorce granted

case has recently come to our knowledge o'
instances like this, among them one IN "hicn
