From Oregon.

We extract from the San Francisco Sun the
following items of Oregon news The dates are
to the 10th ult.:
The Oregonian says the election returns were
not all in, at the latest dates from Washington
Territory: but enough to know that Judg Lam
caster, lDem.) is elected by a small majority
over Col. Wallace, (Whig.) The political com.
pexion of the Legislative Assembly is in doubt
There will not be to exceed two majority either
way, if the reported returns are correct. Our
impression is that the wings will have the inside
track.
Charters have been granted for railroad from
Umpquah to Portland, and two railroads around
the Cackamas rapids.
Mr.. Bridges, an engineer on the steam scow
Peytona, met with serious injury on Saturday
last, by having hls arm caught in the machinery,
crushing it from the wrist to the shoulder
The Assembly has adjourned after their ses-
sion, limited to sixty days.
The initial step has been taken towards the
formation of State government in Oregon A
vote by the people will be taken in June for
and against the measure. II in favor of it, an
election for members of Convention comes off
in September, and the Convention is to meet in
February next.
The Judicial Districts have been formed as
signing to Judge McFadden the southern. Judge
Williams the central, and Judge Olney the north
ern counties.

THE WAY THE MONEY GoEs.-The San Fran
cisco Chronicle in speaking of that very popular
feature of California Legislature-Leave of
Abscence-makes the following appropriate re-
marks:
We can count about one hundred days leave
of absence granted and reported during the
present, session. and it may be safely estimated
that those who are absent without leave outnum-
Der them three to one This would give four
hundred days leave of absence during a session
of six weeks, which, at twelve dollars per day,
makes the nice sum of fory-eight hundred dol
lars pay for absentees.
This is not the only loss. Business is delayed,
legislation, instead of progressing constantly, is
interrupted, bills are laid over, the session drags
ON and out to au unreasonable length and the
whole State suffers. Members may not reflect,
when they ask leave of absence for day or
two, or take it without asking, that day s
absence from duty may cost the State more
than their whole per diem through the entire
session. The reason is PLAIN enough, that vii
laee where there so few and so able ac-
no libraries, amusements,
/" no nothing" which Young America demands
as desert to the roast beef of its legislative du-
ties, is no place fer the assembled law makers
of this, nor of any other fast State. We cannot
wonder if the members do get tired.

The LEvIATHAN STEAMER.-The readers of
the Journai will recollect that some time since
gave account of a monster steamer about
to be built ia Great Britain, whose dimensions
were incredibly large. We learn from Lon
don Journal that, at "a meeting ot the British As
socatiop for the advancement of Science Mr.
Farbarn Engineer, alluded to the construction
of an immense steam vessel which had been
undertaken by Mr.. Brunei and Mr.. Scott Rus
SELL of such vast dimensions that it would
stretch two of the largest waves of the At
antc, and would thus obtain s,eadiness of mo-
ton which would be preventative against sea-
sickness This mammoth steamer is to be $50
feet long. with a breadth of beam of 83 feet
and depth of jS feet. The combined power
of the engines would be that of 2 $500 horses
The ship is to be built of iron, with a double
bottom of cellular construction, reaching 6 feet
of the water line, and with double deck, the
upper and the lower parts being connected to-
gether on the principle of the Brittania tubular
bridge, SO that the ship will be a complete
beam. 1t would thus possess the strength of
that form of construction, and not be liable to
" hosg" or break its back, as has been the case
with other ships OF great length. The double
bottom would be means of increased safety in
other ways, for if by accident the outer shell
We're broken, the inner one would prove effect
ual to keep out the water. AS an additional
security however, it was divided into ten water
tight compartments. The ship would be pro-
PEELED by paddles and by screw, which would
be worked by separate sets of engines.-S. r.

The ENGLISH ON THE CONTINENT The fol
lowing extract from Mr.. billiards six Months
in Italy," gives lively idea of the power of
England, and of the influence she is now exert
ing among the nations:
The English in Italy, ON the continent
generally, not liked but, the ether
hand, they are never despised. They carry
about with them the impress of qualities which
extort respect, not unminged with fear. Too
proud to stoop and too cold to sympathize, they
are too honest to iatter and too brave to dissem-
BILE. Truth, courage, and jusrice-those hon
virtues that stand round the throne of national
greatness-slhape their blunt manners and their
downright speech Every conscientious Catho-
lie must needs respect the fidelity which Eng
ishmen show to the religious institu ions of
their country; the regularity with which they
attend public worship in the chapels of their
faith and their careful abstinence from ordinary
amusements and occupations on Sundays. This
uncompromsing hold upon their own interpre-
tation of right, is sometimes pushed to an ex-
treme, and often turns all una Unable aspect to-
ward others; but without it there is neither ma
tonal greatness nor individual worth. The Eng
lish are proud of their couatIy land fox that,
surely, no one can blame them. They are proud
of its history, of its literature, of ITS constu-
ton !; aud especially of the rank it holds and
the power it wields at the present time. To this
national pride they have fair right. A new
sense of the greatness OF England is gathered
from travelling on the continent; for let an Eng
lishma. go where he will, the might and majes-
ty ofhis country seem to be hanging over him
like an unseen shield. Let but hand of violence
be laid upon English subject, and the great
British lion, which lies couchant in Downing
street, begins TO utter menanclng grOwls and
shake his locks. An English man-of- war seems
to be always within one days sail of every
where Let political agitation break out in any
port on the globe, if tn be even roll of Eng
lish broadcoth or pound of English tea to be
endangered thereby, within forty ight hours an
English steamer or frigate is pretty sure to drop
anchor in the harbor with air that seems to
say, Here l am: does any body want anything
of mel"
