TIVE CAUSES THE PHLADE LPHIA OUTRAoEs.-
Judge Parsons, in his charge TO the grand jury
Monday, the Sd instant, stated the causes Of the
alarming increase Of crime in Philadelphia TO be,
mainly, "the want of one general, wcll-reguatcd
municipal government" and "thc unrestraned
sale Of spirituous liquors by the small measure"
He stated that last year "tbcre were twelve hun
bred and ninety-two tavern licenses issued, and
for the sale Of beer most of whom sold ardent spr-
it's" so that there were in all two thousand four
hundred and scventy-one licensed houses for the
sale Of intoxicating drinks When the power Of
granting licenses conferred upon the court Of
sessions in no year did the number Of licenses
exceed seven hundred and seven. There is gen
cral license law now, giving authority TO every
10 sell who will pay for n license.

FROM CALIFORNIA.

We yesterday announced, in Geographic de-
spatch, that the steamer Cherokee had arrived in
the afternoon ut New York, bringing California
dates to the LIST of May. By last nights northern
mail we received the following further intelli
gence:
Trinidad bay continues to excite much attention
a harbor
Trinidad City has been commented upon, but it
is pretty generally known to offer advantages.
few miles further south is Mendaino bay, or Hum
boldt bay, We will call it. The bay is all that
commends il, with entrance much like that of
Trinity bay proper. This, like most all harbors on
the coast, not easy to enter with sail vessels in
certain winds and weather. but to one who has been
in it. will be found perfectly accessible in some
cases An old and experienced ship master or pilot
will pilot in or out vessels that may arrive.
We understand from gentleman who arrived in
this city yesterday III the steamer Senator, from
Sacramento city, that the citizens of that place
would assemble it was thought, to give an expires
sion TO the popular feeling the subject of the adj
mission of California into the Union. The spirit of
the prevailing sentiment in that section may be
learned by consulting the resolutions adopted at
the recent meeting in this city. Srhe whole country
is clamorous for immediate admission.
As an agricultural country it cannot be sur
passed; and the valley of the river is of the
most beautiful in California, with many indications
Of mineral wealth.

Total declared value. .fl2, s22, 033 f14,655, l53
Increase for months over $780,. 81, 1873, 100
By the above figures, appears that there is an in
crease in the total amount of exports for the frat
quarter of 1850, of nearly two millions pounds ser
ling. This increase, too, on almost every article
OF British manufacture, does not confirm that dull
state Of trade the cotton circulars, received by each
steamer, would have us believe. Neither do we
think the quantity vaiue of goods retained for home
consumption has been diminished, or that the in
ternai trade Of the kingdom has fallen of. The
fact is apparent, that cheap food and steady
employment, thus far this year, must have given
the working classes the ability to increase and not
decrease their consumption OF the fabrics,
notwithstanding the advance in price, caused by
the higher rates demanded for the raw material.

WAsHINoros CITY. June 6. ls5O.

WAsHNGToN CITY, June 6, 1850.
Every now and then there appears in our city
papers hint a suggestion, and sometimes re-
proach, to the Board of Health, in regard to the
cleanliness Of streets, cutters, alleys &c In many
instances there is apparent business in them, for
our city is not at all times clean il should be,
and there are many filthy, offensive lanes and
alleys which require attention. Let US assure the
citizens there has been no dereliction Of duty ON
the part Of the members OF the Board Of Health.
The difficulty has arisen from the want Of proper
officer TO execute the laws Of the city, and attend to
the orders of the members Of the Board of Health
and at the present time this difficulty is greater
than ever. Under the new Z" Comrnissioners, it is
10 be hoped there will be more regard paid 10 the
orders of the Board of Health. We regret that this
law had not created special office of street com
missioner, TO take charge Of the whole subject Of
the police Of the city, and 10 co operate with the
Board of Health in the removal of nuisances and
sources of disease.
II Efficient and proper officers arc appointed, the
citizens may rest assured that there shall be no
ground for complaint; and unless there are, there
will be no use for Board of Health.
Cot. RIcE.-Unlike our excellent President this
noted parsonage has discontinued his receptions
on Friday evening, nor any other evening Of the
six; but like his excellcncy, Col. Rice takes plea
sure in receiving every lady or gentleman who may
desire TO see him. The question has been asked,
how much Of the public mind does this great dsci-
pie Of Menus take up' II VIC arc 10 Judge from the
crowds that nightly flock TO sec him, we should
say all Of IL for we never look into HE pavilion
but il seems as IL epey body was there. Yet are
aware that folk, go TO the Capitol in daytime;
but all Washington, Capitol and all, seem 10 find
their way TO the Coloncl's lcvees nj night.
The Alexandria Gazette says there is no lack Of
convenience in travelling 10 and from Washington.
The steamboats, now make t,oenty one trips, to and
fro, daily. Besides this, LAtham's omnibuscs run
four times daily. In addition 10 which the regu-
lar lines Of stages from Winchester and Warren
ton run three times n week. and a daily line will
shortly commence.
WARM DAv.-Without consulting any Their
mometer yesterday, we thought might venture
on deciding that IL would pass June day.
There was not much air astr, and old Sol appeared
10 exceed almost all his former efforts Late in the
afternoon, however, there came a rumblng sound,
whittier none could tell and then old Soils face
grew pale and cloudy. We thought we could see
the perpendicular wrinkles in his forehead. And
presently there little fall Of rain, and gen
tie sigh of wind, just enough to lay the dust, and
enable us TO breathe our thankfulness And then
the old fellow smiled another Of his torrid smiles
and gently sank TO his repose in the far.off west
