The California News by the Northern
Light.

The mails by the steamer Northern
Light, which arrived at New York on
the 23d instant, bring some very inter
esting intelligence. She made the trip
from San Francisco in twenty-five days.
We give a resume of her most impor-
tant news.
medisturbance had occurred between
the whites and Indians, and number
Of the latter had been killed. The In
dams complain that some of ther number
had been shot down hy their more civ
lized neighbors without provocation,
and that the treaties had not been OBJ
served, while the whites contend that
the savages are constantly stealing and
running off with their stock. Another
steamboat explosion had occurred, being
the fourth within few months, by
which two or three persons were killed
and number of others injured. The
wet season had set in, and the miners
were anticipating rich yield Of the
golden treasure. The mountains were
represented as being covered with snow,
aud the streams were nearly all swollen
to a flood.
No further battles have taken place
between the fillibustering republicans of
Lower California and the deposed Mex
lean authorities. The forces despatched
by Santa Anna to crush ont expedition
lists and re-annex the country to Mexico
had not made their appearance in the
vicinity Of Fort McKibben, the seat of
headquarters Of President Walker. So
nora had been formally annexed to Low
er California by proclamation of the
President, and the name of the confed-
Grated States is hereafter to be the re-
public of Sonora. Although the latter
country was thus declared absolved from
Mexico, the troops of the new republic
had not as yet proceeded to occupy it.
At last accounts they were engaged in
making surveys, laying out roads, DC.
The fllibustering feeling seems to have
nearly died out in most parts of Califor-
MIA. A meeting had, however, been
held in Sonora, but the room in which
it was called not being large enough to
accommodate those present, it was re-
solved to adjourn to meet at the Court
House at a future day. The L. S. Sloop-
of-war I ortsmouth, accompanied by
mail steamer had been sent out to in
tercept any flibustering parties that
might be found on the coast, but it is
hardly possible that those vessels would
succeed in accomplishing anything.
From Nicaragua we learn that the
people of that State, despairing of a set
Element of the difficulties among the five
sister States and their reformation under
one government, are about changing
their natonsl name to that Of the Re
public of Nicaragua. The executive
power will be vested in a President, to
be elected for term of four years, in
stead of a Supreme Ruler, who, under
the present system, serves for two years.
From Sandwich Islands we learn
that flattering reception had been Civ
en- to our new Commissioners, NJ. Gregg.
through Mr.. Wylie, the Minister of
Foreign Relation for our country he had
personally expressed on the occasion of
his first interview with Mr.. G. lie ac-
knowledgos that the United States have
largely contributed to the civilization of
his kingdom, and believes that they will
continue TO manifest deep interest in
what has been chiefly their own work.
That dreadful pest, the small pox, was
rapidly diminishing, and the general
condition Of the inhabitants was cheer
ing and prosperous.
