national necessity, being essential to the general
interest, it would hardly be possible to calculate
the rapidity of herprogress There will be some

to this country from trip to China, relative to
the feelings of the japanese toward the expedi-

Japan, that the Emperor Is ready for the Ameri-

which he had just received from one of his coun-

their fires were already burning on the noun

coast is set with guns, while in the bay of Jeddo
where the fleet is expected, there are countless
war junks, and the whole bay is surrounded
with innumerable forts. The expedition will
find the Japanese much better soldiers than they
anticipate. The presents had better

Living i'm California.

The immigrant lately arrived in California
| from the Atlantic States is Mortified at the ex-
pense of living here. We were Just sitting in
our office chair, looking at load of wood before
our door, for which we paid fifteen dollars, when
the thought of comparing the cost with that of
the same amount of wood in the east occurred to
u.s. The load contained about three-fourths of a
cord, and at home would have cost us three dol
lars. The same holds good of almost everything
else. and though it is common to multiply ex-
penses in the States on the Atlantic shore by
three in calculations of expenses here, the truth
would be more closely arrived at if the multiple
| FIVE was used instead. Take the expense of liv-
ing in eastern cities of the size of Marysville and
compare it with ours. For board and lodging
we pay from SIS to $20pe week, and the same,
nay better quality, be obtained there for
three dollars. A coat that will cost twelve dol
lars in New York, will cost from twenty-five to
thirty dollars here and this, perhaps, is as small
an advance as Callfornians pay for anything.
| Besides the common ordinary expenses, the in
cidenRls make quite respectable figure. A
quart4 of dollar for drink and the same for a
cigar pill cost man, unless he is so vrtuous
entirdE to abjure "cakes and ale.' $50 per
montkat the least, the board and wages of two
men in the east. A ride of two men in the east.
ride of mile on horseback costs So, i'll bug
gy Sc; one, two, or four miles all the same
though, the charge for short distances being for
taking the animal out of the stable.
The expenses of little Injuries is not trihing
by any means. A can of oysters, not fit to give
a dog is worth 50, and preserved meats or fruits
in cans the same. Let those in the east, who
wonder how it can be every man who has been
in California "a yearis not rich; look at expenses
and their wonder will cease. A months sick
ness an accident, or in short almost any misfor-
tune, will dispose of those extra dollars that are
left from a twelve months earnings; and
months ideness will do it better than either

| GEN. CAss' RESOLUTIONS DEcLARISG THE
MONROE PoIIcr, ETc.-The following are the
] Resolutions offered recently in the Senate by
Gen. Cass, approving the Monroe policy respect
ing European colonization in North America,
and defining the position OF our government
with respect to Cuba:
Be it Resolred, That the United States do here
| by declare that the American continents, by the
| free Independent condition which they have as
sumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be
considered as subject for future colonization by
any European power. And while "existing
rights should be respected, and will be bv the
United States they owe it to their own :" safety
and interest to announce, as they now do, that
no future European colony or dominion shall,
with their consent, be planted or established on
any part of the Americana continent" And
should the attempt be made, they thus delibe-
rately declare that it will be viewed as an act
originating in motives regardless of their inte-
rests and their safety" and which will leave
them free to adopt such measures as an indepen-
dent nation may justly adopt in defence OF its
rights and Its honor.
And be IL further Resolced, That while the Uni
ted States discaim any design upon the Island
of Cuba inconsistent with the laws of nations
and with their duties to Spain, they considersit
due to the vast importance of the subject to make
known IN this solemn manner, that they should
view all efforts the part of any other power
to procure possession, either peaceably or forci-
bly,, of that island, which a naval or military
position must. under circumstances easy to be
foreseen, become dangerous TO their southern
coast, to the Gulf OF Mexico, and to he mouth of
the Mississippi, unfriendly act directed
against them, to be resisted by all Means in their
power.
