New York, June "a.
The Crescent City, Capt. Stoddard, arrived
this morning, withlatest important intelligence
from California. She arrived out at Chagres

character. General state Of health at the pla-
GERS is good.
The whole population of San Francisco, was
aroused by fire on the night of the 4th By
the time people were out of bed, the FIRE was
raging terribly in one Of the public buildings.
The fire spread to the El Dorado on one side,
and Delmonichos on the other Before the
people had time to collect their scattered sens
es, the Yerandah opposite the Ell Dorado, was
wrapped in flames, and thence spreading down
Clay street, till finally every house but two in
the entire block was destroyed. In the mean
time destruction fearfully great was going
along Tumly street. Finding that the only
method of staying the destroying element in
that direction, was to take away its food, every
house on Dupont street was torn down. The
block towards the bay Jared but little better,
Only seven houses left In it Upon the sew
eral blocks mentioned, but nine buildings lefi
standing. A mass of gold and quartz weigh
ing SO lbs. was found near Maricosi, and sold
for S., 800.
Several recent and important discoveries
have been made Out of one hole three men
in two days took over $4,000 Some large
Jumps have been found, and nearly every man
is making an ounce day. Ghagres and Pan
anna were very healthy. The miners have
generally done well, and more bullion is ex-
pected during the next six months than has
been received altogether since the commence
ment.

glorious News from New Mexico.


Glorious News from New Mexico.
By telegraph despatch to the Toledo pa
pers, we learn that New Mexico has formed a
State constitution, in which slavery has been
forever prohibited! The convention assem-
bled on the fifth of May, and sat nine days.
during which time constitution was formed,
similar to that of California
The new constitution has been adopted,
and goes into operation on the first of July.
The boundaries of the State were defined, and
we understand takes in all that tract of coun-
try which Texas lays claim to.
This is indeed gratifying news, and must
exert salutary influence upon the proceed
ings of Congress. In fact, we believe it will
be the means-at least we trust it will-of
defeating the "omnibus" bill. and thus secure
the adoption of the wise, and We believe the
correct policy. promulgated by Gen. Taylor,
with the only difference that New Mexico will
be Immediately admitted into the Union, by
the side of California, as free State-not
only free in name, but free in fact. We think
the South must.see by this movement of the
citizens of New Mexico, determination on the
part of the people, to resist and prohibit the
further extension ofslavery, and any man who
shall attempt tointroduce slavery therein the
face of the fact that the inhabitants have unan-
imously decided against it, will be branded as
an enemy to his country, and disgrace to his
kind
California and New Mexico comprise about
two thirds of our newly acquired possessions,
and will come in as free States, only leaving
the country of Utah to yet organize State
Government, and no sane man believes that
Slavery can ever gain foothold there.
Thus we might say that the question of
slavery extension is practically settled by the
wise policy of Gen. Taylor, and the action of
the people directly interested-and that the
Free Sellers occupation is gone. Wonder
whether they will come out now, like honest
men, and support Old Zack's administration
which brought so desirable result about, or
join the natural allies of slavery, the Locofoco
party? We shall see.

Tuesday. June 25.

Yesterday afternoon the debate on the sub
ject of law reform, &c, was continued. Judge
Vance spoke forcibly in opposition to the
scheme of the committee. Mr. Case of Lick
ing, replied, and defended the report. Judge
Vance answered, enforcing bis views.
Mr.. Mitchell of Knox, made furious on
slaught opon the committee and the plan. He
defended the common law forms, and declar-
ed them much more simple and perspicuous
than the civil law, or the reformed practice oi
New York. He called the free soilers to the
stand and lectured them about abandoning the
ordinance of 's7. That provided that the
great distinctive features of the common law
should be guaranteed TO US forever. 1t was
generally remarked that the radicalism oi
Mitchell had taken strange shoot.
This morning the discussion was renewed,
and remarks were made by Messrs. Ceilings,
Ranney and Case in defence of the report,
and by MIR, Mltchellin opposition. Mr. Arch
bold had coneurred in the report, but thought
it idle to expect that new system of iuris-
prudence could be adopted at once. 1t will
take years to bring any new system into ope-
ration.
Mr. Taylor spoke at length in opposition. to
the common law. He was of the opinion that
we had got to be old enough and wise enough
to make a system of our own. He wanted
our glorious Buckeye state to be independent
of British forms
Judge Vance enforced his views, He had
not opposed legal reform. But he was oppos-
ed to the idea Of abolishing the distinction be-
tween law and chancery.
Mr.. Leadbetter was still cf the opinion that
the proposed reform was impracticabIe.
Colonel Hawkins supported the report It
was reform that was required by the people

Monuay, June "A.
This morning the committee took up the re.
port of the committee on jurisprudence 1t is
short-only two sections. Itprovides that the
legislature shall elect three commissioners
whose duty it shall be to codify the laws, &c.
after the manner of doing the thing in New
York; and that, so far as practicable, they
should abolish all distinction between law and
equity practice. The commissioners to report
to the legislature from time to time, DC.
An amendment was proposed by Mr. Tay-
gor, that these commissioners should be elect
ed BY the people This failed. IL was mod
fled so that the Legislature should provide fol
their election
A discussion arose on the merits of the rec
ommend of the committee, and was discussed
till recess. Judge Peter Hitchcock urged, that
as this was an experiment of vital character, il
was better to wait till New York had tried the
plan, and see how it worked That it was
within the power of Legislature at any time
the people mightrequire to do this work, and
that it should not be imposed in express terms
in the constitution.
Judge Holt, who is chairman of the iuris-
prudence committee, defended the report, and
enforced the practcability and necessity oflaw
ret1Im ne uWeIL AZ iengtn on the nonsense
and humbuggery Of the John Doe and Rich
ard Roe process in ejectment The question
was further discussed, by Judge Ceilings and
Signal Taylor in defence of the report and by
Judge Peter Hitchcock, Nash and Leadbetter
against it Mr. Leadbetter said he had a let
ter from an eminent firm of lawyers at Buffalo
and they assured him that the New York cod
iication and reform was not well received, and
was much worse than the old system. Judge
Holt said he had letters from four Of the
Judges of New York, and though the new
practice, had many difficulties, which always
accompany new system, yet they expressed
a aconfdence that the reform would be popular,
and of great advantage ultimately.
Without concluding the discussion the con-
vention took recess.

The tone Of the address is harsh, and not at
all conciliatory It's full of ill-concealed Bit
terness throughout Itdoes not manifest that
spirit of compromise in which our Union was
adopted, and by which only it can be perpet-
uated. The convention knew that the exten-
sion of the line of the Missouri Compromise
to the Pacific is utterly impossible. WHY.
then, did they recommend that line.

Saturday, June ~
Yesterday afternoon the committee of the
whole closed the discussion on the public debt
report, and adopted the amendment making it
the duty of the commissioners to report the
amount of money it would be necessary to pay
the interest and the sinking fund of the state
debt to the Legislature, instead of the auditor,
as reported by the committee
This forenoon the committee took up the
report of the committee on public Institutions,
and, we rejoice to say, finished il, and reported
it back to the house. The only point of much
interest was a motion by Mr. Reemelin to
amend by providing that the conyicts, at the
end of their iern of service should be paid the
nett amount Of the income for their labor dur
ing the time of their imprisonment. The
speech of Mr.. Reemelin in exposition and de-
fence of the new proposition was able and
showed a eommendable spirit of benevolence
and feeling. We are not prepared to adopt
the measure without further examination into
its influence upon criminals and crime. If it
shallbe found TO be practicable, the measure
can be adopted at any time hereafter by the
legislature 1t was advocated by Messrs.
Reemelin, Ranney. Manon, DC, and opposed
by Judge Peter Hitchcock, Lidey, Mitchell,
DC Upon a division, had II votes.
The convention, at II o'clock NJ. adjourned
till Monday
We are glad to say that some progress has
been made this week. Three reports have
been taken up and finished and another con
cluded. 1t is hoped that this improvement
may be more strikingly manifest hereafter.
Thus endeth the seventh week.

Convention.
From the Ohio Stale Jonrnal.


Yesterday (2oth, inst P. NJ the committee
adopted the amendment proposed by Judge
r Hitchcock declaring that in addition to the
interest on the public debt, there should be
appropriated this year 100000 to pay the
principal, and the same sum hereafter, with
the compound interest thereon, till the debt
shall be paid. This undoubtedly will be the
clause IN the constitution. Two other sections
were passed. Upon the section directing the
fund commissioners to ascertain and certify to
the Auditor the amount necessary to raise this
sum in addition to the income Of the state
from the public works, DC, debate arose that
occupied the forenoon. Mr.. Archbold attack
ed the section with all his usual zeal, elo-
Iqaence aud energy This is peculiarly his
thunder. He has, for some time, been watch
ing and denouncing the "Money King" and
he made some of his most vigorous attacks up
ION the report We think he is wrong and
that there is not the danger he imagines in
leaving the fund commissioners to fix the am
cunt il will be nessary to levy. Able speeches
were made in support Of the report by Judge
Swan, Judge Holt, Judges Hitchcock, Messrs
Stanbery, Hawkins, DC, and opposed to it.
Mcssrs Archboid, Ranney, DC.
The amendment requiring this board, after
finding how much it would be necessary to
raise. 10 report to the legislature was lost. Il
was tken moved to strike out all the latter
part of the section prescribing the duties OF
the auditor, which motion prevailed, and be-
fore any thing was supplied IN its place, the
committee rose, and the convention took a
recess.
