~ The Boston authorities are making dis
play of their patriotic zeal in response TO the in
vacations made them-and shutting the door
very carefully, now that the stecd has been
stolen Ofall the absurd and mpuden. farces ever
played in pubic, we think the proceedings OF
the authorities, as set forth by the following no.

With a flow Of tuneful cant, the Boston
Courier thus embalms the fly in the amber OF
its editorial We invite special attention 10 the
passages talicsed by us. They furnish proofs
most conclusive of the real state Of public senti-

Ironing them Down.

The Columbia, South Carolina, Telegraph thus
humoronsly his off the watch ard wait men, the
sliding-scae submssionists of the South, who
are always ready to buster and equally ready to
back out when the time comes for the redemp-
ton Of their pledges.
The final touch, at the expense Of two Of the
leaders of the corporal sguard in South Carolina
that stand shaking on that tottering platform, is
one of the most caustic pieces of irony We have
seen for a long time:
A NEW PLATFoRM-Every one has heard OF
the wise city fathers of Waterford, who once in
solemn and delbelative conclave adopted the
following resolutions:
Resoired, That new Jail be built.
2. That the materials of the old Jail be used MS
FAR as possible in building the new.
3. That the new Jail be built where the old
one now stands.
a. That the prisoners be continued in the old
Jail, until the new Jail is finished.
The above resolutions very clearly and salts
factoriy explain the position occupied by some
who call themselves Southerners They aciu-
ally desire Southern confederacy, and believe
it atainable, but they do not wish to take sin
gle step towards this Qrcnt end, ard throw up
their hands in holy horror Mt the very name of
action. Their creed and platform based on the
above model, would read as follows:
"Wo believe that new confederacy il neces-
sary for the honor and security Of the South. and
must be formed Immediately, the old one being
sadly out of order.
ave believe that the new confederacy should
be constructed with the materials of the old, rs
far as they will answer,
"We will stay in the old confederacy, (al-
though the roof is leaking on us at n dreadful
rate,) until the new one is formed, ar rather until
it forms itself, ms we believe that for one State
to lay foundation stone for il, without the pres
ence of all the other States, would be putting
them at fault or branding them as deficient in
honor, or courage, or patriotism"
We recommend the platform to the favorable
notice Of the class Of Southerners who believe
in words alone, or watching, waiting and doing
nothing; to those who would act down idly like
the rustic, and wait until the stream of North
ern aggressons shall run dry--to those who
think that E.sop's WAGNER standing idly by and
roaring Justify for Hercules to lift his cart wheel
out of The mud, exhibited the true policy; and
TO oil who, believing politically, that faith with
out works ~ be- t, advise TO whit until Provi-
dencc, circumstances time Of chance, shall do
! for what We can and should do for ourselves
A nice dish the Hamihonian principle
! properly seasoned with Capers sauce of the

The recurrence Of the scenes Of last Saturday.
We subjoin the ordinance passed by the board
OF aldermen yesterday:
"Clry OF BosroN. In Board Of Mayor and
Aldermen, Tuesday. Feb. Is, 1851 Whereas
this board has leorned with deep regret, that the
integrity of the Commonwealth and city, have
been greatly impaired by the forcible rescue and
abduction of prisoner from the hands Of an
officer Of the United Suites, who had him in
legal custody, therefore it is
OFdered. mat the city marshal, under the
instructions of the Mayor, be directed when
ever he shall be- properly informed by PUBLIC
officer OF the State, or the United States, that
there is danger that he shall be unlawfully CD
structed in the performance OF his official duties
by mob, and that he needs his assistance-im-

pretended said riot will be had and there, faith
fully and truly, with the whole police force
under his control, use the same, in the most en-
ergetic manner possible, in support of the laws,
and the maintenance of the public peace"
We have already alluded to the disastrous ef
fects likely TO be produced al The South by the
awless deed Of Saturday Another may now
be specified. In the debate in the u. s. Senate
on this subject yesterday, Mr.. Clay remarked

ERNI CALIFORNIA,

The steamship Daniel Webster, arrived
at New York OH Sunday, bringing Cali
fornia dates to October l5lh-3lI7,000
of gold on freight, and half 4 million in the
hands of passengers.
The general news from California is not
very important. Business generally was
dull and purchasers were holding back
for a further reduction in the prices of
goods.
Flour was steady. Bricks dull. Pro-
visions dropping. Lumber firm. Dry
goods active. Seamcn's wages were low
Agriculture was in 4 ilourishing con-
dition, and the mining news was very ia
vorable. New discoveries of gold were
daily being made. Quartz mining attracts
great attention.
The papers Of the 9th, are filled with
duels, murders and outrages, and there is
strong talk Of reyiving the Vigilance Com
mittec.
News from Southern California was of
the utmost Importance. The southern
counties arc coming out strongly for a con-
vention to divide the State. Santa Barbara
is the place fixed on for holding il. The
various counties were engaged in selecting
delegates. An address will be prepared
for circulation. and petition presented to

firmaton of the report that Caravajal had,
on the 9th inst, after most perscyering
effort 10 capture the city Of Matamoras.
abandoned the siege. His failure is at
tributed to want of military capacity and
indecision, as much as 10 disappointment
in receiving reiniorcements. The heXi-
cans are generally elated with the result.
After the abandonment of the siege, a
perfect stampede occurred among the force
Of Caravajal, which was increased by the
report that large Mexican rciniorccments
were at hand. This report proved ground
less, however. and subsequently Caravajal
took post at Reynosa, where many of his
followers rejoined him.
The Rio Bravo newspaper SAYS, Capt
Ford, Of the Rangers, has recovered from
his wounds and will immediately rcion
Caravajal, whose purpose il is to continue
the war.
An extra from the office of tho Rio
Bravo gives still later accounts, and says
that Caravaial was receiving large reinforce
ments, and had commenced his march for
Matamoras, al which place Gen. Can4lcs
had arrived with 300 of the National
Guard.
Gen. traga was momentarily expected
from Monterey with 500 regulars, to assist
/ Gan. Avalos in the defence of Matamoras.
Recruiting officers have been despatched
by Caravaial TO the United States, and il
is reported also that he issued a Declara.
