err; and on Tuesday, July 20, by the plsTnicT At
Ton NEY for the United States.
The arguments to the jury having been closed,
the prisoners counsel, in reference to SOME posi-
tions taken by the DIST RIcT ATTORNEY in argu-
ment, prayed the court for further instructions 10
the jury. The court granted the following:
l. That insanity must be proved like any other
fact; "that II the preponderance OF the evidence
werein favor ofthe prisoners insanity bearing
and leaning, ms a whole, inclined that way, they
would be authorized TO find him insane. "-Rogrss
Trial, p. 2sl.
.. That in order to authorize the jury to find the
prisoner insane, IL was not necessary that they
should find from the evidence that, at the time Of
committing the act, he was unaware OF its nature,
character, and consequences.
At six O'Clock the jury sent written communi
cation to the court, the purport of which found,
on their being brought into court, to be an inquiry,
what the counsel for the prisoner meant by saying
| that the jury might bring in a verdict Of man
| slaughter. The court answered that II could not
undertake to say what counsel meant. All that
| the court could any was, that an indictment for
| murder the jury had the power to bring in yer.
| dict of granddaughter. In answer to suggestion
the jury that IL they believed the prisoner insane,
he was entitled to an acquittal. The jury then re-
tired TO their ROOM and ut half-past eleven o'clock
| O M, next day, (2lst July,) came into court and
through CHARLrs n. WILTBnRoEn, their foreman,
| delivered their verdict: "GuILTy OF MANsLAUerER,
| and NOT GUILTY or MuRpER."
| On Friday, 23d Of July, the prisoner was sen.
| fenced by the court to suffer imprisonment and
labor in the penitentiary for eight years.

New York, April Is.
The Sierra Nevada, from Chagres, arrived at
six o'clock. She brings 286 passengers and
100000 in gold dust Steamships Winfield
Scott, California, Tennessee, New Orleans, and
Constitution, were all ut Panama at last advices
bound for San Francisco; also, numerous sail
ing ships. Prices of passage exceedingly low
California passengers few.
The news from California is TO the goth OF
March, and is uninteresting. Our correspond
ent from San Francisco writes that there are
symptoms Of a serious difficulty in Sonora
The French expedition which left San Francisco
short time ago with the professed purpose OF
making new gold discoveries, was really bent on
revolutionizing the country, and establishing an
independent government, with no idea of being
annexed to the United States. Californians are
much annoyed at this movement, and talk Of
getting up an expedition of thousand Ameri-
cans to take possession of Sonora, and drive out
the French. The inhabitants of that country
are anxious to be independent

bined to keep any people from plundering the
treasury, they were Z much more honest party
than that party which helped persons % plumber

Mr.. POLK desired TO know If the gentleman
intended to insinuate that those who were in Ia
vor Of the report Of the Printing Committee, were
trying TO do this thing,
Mr.. V1tNABLE did not impugn any impure
motives to the gentleman from Tennessee, and he
was seeking no personal collision with any gen
tleman. But as the gentleman from Indiana had
undertaken to make out coalition between the
Freesoilers and what he had been pleased to call
extreme Southern Rights men-he would say that
Iif the purpose Of such a coalition was to prevent
the public money from being wasted for the pub
lie printing, he (Mr. v } would be proud to CO.
operate with any party whose object was to save
the hard earnings of his working constituency
from such perverslon.
Mr.. GORMAN then proceeded, giving his
opinion the right of a State to secede, and de-
claring that if such coalition he had alluded
to, should vote down the action Of the committee,
it would be considered by the country pro-
scription of those men who had stood upon the
watch-tower as faithful sentinels of the Compro-
mise measures of the last Congress.

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSH III
COMPANY-TH THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA;

UNITED STATES MAIL sTEAM SHIP
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
fINHE public will be gratGed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their Arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then DESTROYS to go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lence of fever at Rio de Janero at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impotence of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are now all removed.
Three of the four ships OF the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HuDsoN.
ITEIMUS, Capt. HlrCHcoCK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. SCHENcK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARTsrEIN, U. s. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line and the speed and accommodations of the
ships of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid and pleasant through passage to California.
