mission.--Ths following resolution was
introduced by Mr.. Ralston, on the 2lst
inst:
Resolred, That the committee on Fed
eral Relations be instructed to prepare
and report to the Senate, at an early
day, a memorial to Congress, asking.
First for the immediate repeal of the
not Of Congress entitled AN Act to as
certain and settle the Private Land
Claims in the Safe Of California" ap-
proved March 3, 1851 Second; To pass
an act comforting power on the . s
District Courts of this State. to ascer-
tain and settle all Spanish and Mexican
Land Grants in this State, according to
the principles of Law and Equity and OF
the Treaty Of Hidalgo; ; which act shall
in its principal provisions. be based upon
and correspond to the provisions of the
several acts to authorize the U. 5. Dis
trict Courts in the States of Florida,
Louisiana Missouri and Alabama, to
hear. and determine nll applications for
the confirmation Of Land Grants within
said States. .H. .H.
Little of interest marks the proceed
ings the past week.
In the Senate, on the 2lst, Mr.. kurtz
presented the memorial Of Thomas Bur
due, asking compensation to the amount
of $1,000 actually expended by him in
defending against several indictments
for criminal offences, Of which he was
innocent Referred to The Judiciary
Committee. The request is fair and
proper, and the case Of Burdue one Of
extreme hardship Though we do not
favor indiscriminate and extra uses of
the public money, we think this claim
for relief should be granted.
An angry discussion sprang up be-
tween Estcll and Cofroth, in relation to
the investigation Of the states prison
contract. Mr. Estell asked for public
examination. which was objected to by
Mr.. Coifroth, the chairman of the ccm-
nittec. he presence OF members OF
both houses was granted by a special
resolution
IN the House, Mr.. Crenshaw, from the
Committee on Claims, reported adverse
ly on the petition of Smith & Brothers
to: relief on account Of scrip said to have
been destroyed by fire. The committee
had discovered that portion Of the said
scrip had been redeemed since the FIRE.
The bill providing for the payment OF
members 500 each WITH tie Senate a
mcndment, allowing $500 to each Off
Ger of the two Houses, was taken up and
the amendment concurred in. The bill
is now law
The use Of the hall OR the Sabbath
was granted TO clergymen for religious
exercises.

NEVADA, Jan o1-Thc favorable wealth

depression in prices, rs will be seen by our

brig mp prices % per cent, but most of the
merchants deem the risk of holding on great
Ell than that Of selling at tho present rates.
The goods recently received from Sacramen-
to will bear the present rates. but the present
prices arc below the cost OF articles received
week or more ago. The following prices
