REDUCTION OF THE TARIFr.-The low
er house Of Congress passed law early
in the session repeating certain prohibi-
tiohs, ut present existing upon the in
PRODUCTION Of foreign goods, and jimin-
ishing certain rates of the tariff. The
Senate referred the question to a com.
mittee, who reported unfavorably to the
proposed law. The matter slept for
some time, when the Deputies sent q
message urging the Senate to come to q
decision. 1t was taken up and debated
two days. The House bill was suppor-
ted by Prieto, Guerrero, Herrera and
Robredo, hnd opposed by Gamboa, Tor
mel, Cuevas and others, and was fnally
referred back agasn to the committee by
vote Of 81 to 10. This negative de.
cision is considered favorable to the free
dem Of commerce, but it is thought the
Senate will not 70 30 for in the reduce
ton Of the tariff as the House. In the
mean time Vera Crux and Tampico are
suffering severely from the application
Of the greatly reduced tariff which Ava
los has been compelled to establish in
Matamoras. 1t is said that the mer-
chants Of Vera Cruz notified the reve-
nue. officers that they would pay no more
duties rs long as the inequality In the
tariffs Of the different ports existed
The Government has instructed the Gus
tomhouse officers to compel the payment
Of the duties, in the manner provided
for by the law. At the same tine was
transmitted to the citizens of Vera Cruz,
a copy of the decision of the Minister
Of Finance, ordering the re- establish
msnt of the legal tariR at Matamoras.
Sig. Ramirez in reply to collective
note Of the Foreign Ministers, demand
ing the extension Of the Avalos tariff to
oil the ports Of the Republic, or the con-
cession Of delay in the payment Of du.
ties, declares that he has not tho power
to comply, but will submit the question
to Congress.

Public Meeting at Little York.

A large and enthusiastic meeting Of
citizens and miners of Little York con-
vened at the Sirely House" OH Sunday
May %, 1852. Dr.. Joseph Siie ely hav.
ing been chosen President and John
Chapman Secretary, the former pro.
ceeded to explain the object Of the
meeting, which was the propriety Of
prohibiting foreigners from working the
mines in this vicinity.
The Governors Message on this sab.
ject was then read by General Winn.
Mr. Tolbott after few appropriate
remarks, presented the following pre-.
amble and resolutions which were unan.
imously adopted:
Assembled rs American citizens, we
again make it manifest to all people
and nations, that We heartily concur in
those principles promulgated and sus.
tanned BY the Fathers Of our glorious
Republic. Those principles SO manfully
sustained through a long, arduous and
bloody conflict, we cherish as the bright
est gem in our national escutcheon
Among these, are the rights Of self
government and universal liberty
Therefore we have thrown open our
ports, and the bosom of our far-famed
America rs an asylum to the oppressed
Of all nations, that they MY, by our
naturalization laws, reap the rewards
of our institutions and bask in the sun
shine OF Eternal Liberty.
Theie is another principle which per-
vades NIL animate creation, and which
has justly been termed the first law Of
nature -self-prcservation.
WHEREAS, in our opinion wc have suf-
fered those natural rights To lie tram.
pied upon with impunity-by foreign ma.
tions long enough, therefore,
Resolved, That we approve Of the
sentiments expressed in the Cover nor =
Message, Of April 23d, 1852.
Resolved, That no foreigner shall hold
mining claims in this district.
Resolved, That he who has declared
his intention Of becoming citizen of
these United States shall have the same
rights in tho mines as though he was
citizen, by paying tax equal to the tax
required of u citizen.
Resolved, That tho Recorder be re-
quired to record claims for American
citizens, and those who produce satis-
factory evidence Of their intention of
becoming citizens of the United States,
and for none others,
Resolved, That the foregoing resolu.
tions are founded upon just principles,
and we will use all laudable means to
enforce their requision, and forcible
means if necessity should require
Resolved, That the procee dings of
this meeting be published in the Nevada
Journal and Sacramento papers.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.

LAST ACT OF THE TYRANr RosAs.-
After Rosas had hed ignominiously from
the Held Of battle, and disguised in the
uniform Of British sailor, had made
bis way on board the English steamer
Centaur, lying in the bay, discovery
was made that displayed in the strongest
light his cowardly and malignant spirit.
Foreseeing that his conqueror, Urquiza,
wsuld occupy his house, he had q mine
constructed underneath, in which he
placed five hundred pounds Of gunpow-
der, which was to be ignited while the
victorious general was receiving tho con-
gratulations Of his officers and the citi-
zens The monster, not content with
this villainous deed, had all the work
men employed in the construction Of
the mine beheadsd, that they might
not discover the secret. Such was tho
indignation created by this discovery in
Buenos Ayres, that the Eng lish resi-
dents addressed communication to the
Admiral, insisting that Rosas should
leave the bay Immediately, while the
Provisional Governor, Don Vicente Lopez,
informed the British Minister, Gore, that
his passports would be sent to him un-
less the tyrant sailed at once.-S. +.

Later from Shasta. Great Slaughter Of
Indians.
Through Gregory's Express, We have
been furnished copy Of the Shasta
Courier Of May lst. A correspondent
Of that paper gives an account of the
slaughter Of about one hundred and ff,y
Indians, by party Of thirty two men
who went in pursuit of the murdsrers
Of Anderson. The affair happened Oh
the 22d ult., at rancheria on the South
Fork of Trinity river. The party was
headed by Captain Dixon, Sheriff Of the
county.
ut was necessary to proceed with
great caution in order not to alarm the
savages, and accordingly, the party ge-
nerally laid by during the day, sending
spies ahead and travelling by night
ION Thursday afte rnoon, the 22d, the
scouts discovered the rancharia, in q
small valley ut the base of three noun.
tains on the south side of the South
Fork Of Trinity river. At midnight the
company started from their encamp-
ment, Captain Dixon having divided
his force into three parties, 60 as to come
upon the Indians from different quarters
and surround them. When the day
broke all parties were in the desired
positions, and on the signal being given
the attack commenced Zach rife
marked it's victim with unerring pre-
cision-the pistol and the knit: com
pleteG the woik Of destruction and re.
venge, and in few brief moments all
was over. OF the ono hundred and
fifty Indians that cons itutcd the ran
charia only two or three escaped, and
tho'e were supposed to be dangerously
wounded: 90 that probably not one of
those engaged in the murder of Ander-
son now remains alive. Men, women
and children oil shared tho same fate
none were spared except one woman and
two children who were brought back
prisoners.
I" IL may seem barbarous and cruel to
some that the helpless woman anu the
innocent child should be thus sacrafced.
But | am informed that the Indians
when attacked placed the women and
children in front, and shot at their as
sailants from behind them, as from
barricade, so that it was necessary to
shoot the women in order to kill the
men. And besides, in the present con-
dition Of our northern counties, with no
