AZ interesting compilation of California istelli-
genco, financial, political, mining, agricultural,
scientific religious, and miscellaneous, materially
contributes to the substantial mass Of reading mat
ter with which the annie measure of this day s
double HERALD is filled TO tho brm. A paper lii /,
this for two cents copy, is scarcely less wopde
than California itself. Such the results of tact
talent, End enterprise, backed up by liberal and
independent people, who are themselves backed up
by the California gold mines Ercelslm.
In addition to the California and Oregon intclli-
gence, brought by the Crescent City ard William
Penn we -bave received late news from the Sand
witch ISLANDS, South Pacific, Dutch GUIANA, British
Guiana, French Guiana. Jamaica, and New Grana-
da. 1t is moi important in any aspect but the de-
tails from these places, which We give in other
columns Of tbs mornings paper, will be found in
teresting.
BY the arriya, Of the steamship Canadc, at Bos-
ton, we have some further particulars ccIcerning
the overthrow Of Rosas the Dictator Of tie Arge1-
tine confederation. The battle between the Buenos
Ayreans and TIE Brazilians, in connection with
their auxiliaries,:c described having been ter
rife and sanguinaTy in the extreme. No less than
four thousand men computed to have been killed
and wounded, and TIE Hostein cavalry are rerorted
to have literally ridden and trampled in the
dus. the once famous cavalry of Rosas The ticta-
tor was himself wounded in the BATTLE but lana ged
to escape, with his celebrated daughter to one of
the British shipsof warthe father, under the gpise
of marine, and the daughter a sailor boy. At
last accounts the Braziliauc and their allies were
marching on to the city of Buenos Ayres, and the
naval commanders of dieren, nations were about to
land sufficient forces protect the lives and proper

In the United States Senate. yesterday, long de-
bate took place CT bill. which WEI eventually en-
crossed authorizing the Postmaster General to adj
yertise for proposals 10 transport the mails in
steamships. three times month each way, between
New Orleans and Vera Cruz, Mexico. The sum to
be expended for this purpose is not to exceed 800 900
per year. When completed, this will be vast inn
provement upon the present uncertain postal ar
engagements between this country and Mexico. The
resolution asking for information concerning the
contemplated expedition to Japan met with obiec-
ton from Mr. Gwn, of California and was laid over.
This expedition, it is thought, will be of much
vice TO the future lines Of vessels to be established
between our new State on the Pacific and China and
the East Indies These vessels will want port on
the route where they can put in for provisions re-
pairs, sc. and Com Perry's visit to the Japanese
though of somewhat extraordinary character,
may possibly effect this very desirable uAimatam.
The Cafonians are persevering people--they are
wide awake in all business operations--and would
probably prefer that the objects of this curious
pedition should not be scrutnzed too closely.
Among the large number of petitions presented in
the Senate we observe that one was from Georgia,
praying that the territory of Utah may not be adj
united es a State into the Union, upon the ground
that the Mormon religion is ant-rcpublican-espe-
eially its recognition Of spirituawifery, or poly
gamy,. which is abominable.
The buneombe debate in Committee Of the Whole
in the House of Representatives., yesterday will be
read with interest by all classes politicians. Mr.
Williams a Tennessee wing is strongly opposed to
Gen Scott and cannot support him for the Presi-
,encv. unless he gives the ''hgher law" men the
cut direct. and ayows his unqualified approval Of
the compromise measures altogether. This dodge
unon the Fugitive Slave law will not do. Mr. w.
strongly urges the claims Of Mr.. Fillmore and will,
IL is understood, be followed up in the same strain
by his colleague, Mr.. Gentry. This is but the be-
ginning Of the hare-up among the wings The pc
licy of the Tennessee representatives will be sup
ported by those cf the other Southern States, and
they in turn will be backed by their constituents.
There is no mistaking these manifestations. Gen.
Scot, mast explain his postion-he must approve Of
the Fugitive act before he expect to receive the
countcnance Of the South; sne the moment he does
annrove of that law the Northern abolition wings
will drop him-so, - between two stools, be is
likely to come to the ground" any way he can fix
IL. Several other political speeches were made in
one Of which tsle Yankee girls were defended from
the aspersions Of Rev Mr.. Hillyer, who, some
time ago, stated that a sort Of rivalry existed be-
tween them and the negro girls. n which The lNter

trial fit ever comes off, will doubtless be curious

and very mysterious and we shall do well if
