By the arrival OF the steamship Nortnern Llgnt,
yesterday morning, we have received eight days
later news from California-down to the LIST OF June.
The intelligence is very satisfactory, although no
thing startling had occurred. Reports from the
mining districts continued encouraging. The pros
poets of the farmers were aattering. Fears were en-
tertained Of another overflow of some of the rivers.
A serious difficulty had occurred between the United
States Marshal and the s~quatters on Feather river.

complete details Of the news before our readers this

The English Parliament was still engaged in de-
bate upon the Government Of India bill. A very ge-
neral strike of the dock laborers Of Liverpool had

attracted increased attention daily at Southampton.
The town was unusually crowded with distinguished
visiters, and all expressed the highest admiration OF
the munifcence Of the vessel, the iberality u her
preventative to join with him in preparing for a
grand banquet to Mr.. Vanderbilt, who is treated in
q manner worthy of a monarch Yankee sovereign.
In the intensity of his establishment, John Bull ac-
knowledges that he has a great many things to learn
from US yet about ships, &c, and actually thanks us
for having sent over the America. The steam clip
per and sailing clipper have reused him up.
1t will be seen that the attention of the European
cabinets was almost exclusively fixed upon the East
ern difficulty. The latest prevailing opinion was
that peace would be maintained. 1t was reported,
10th instant, that the united. squadrons of France
and England had been ordered to approach the Oar
daneles. The French Bourse was much agitated by
a rumor to the effect that Russia was preparing to
enter the principalities of the Danube. However,
the collective opinion of the various journals would
still lead to a belief that the Gar was expected to
recede.

his whole affair exhibits a most curious anomaly in
Z political history-it being a barnburner warfare
on the hunkers, in which the former are receiving

lther, II IS apparent, Is alone to be sacrificed,
lie his barnburner colleagues who have been asso-
ted with him in the Canal Board, and who must
