BLooDLEss VICToRY.-A correspondent of the
London Morning Herald gives graphic account of
the visit of the English sailors to Liban in the Bal
TIC and the capture of the Russian vessels in that
port. 1t seems that her Majesty's ship Amphion and
Conflict anchored within three quarters of mile of
the city, broadsde on. and flag of truce was sent on
shore to demand that all the merchant ships in the
harbor be delivered to the English. Three
hours time was granted for reply, and at the
pration of that period the mayor replied that, not
wthstanding they had large armed force on shore,
they would surrender the vessels rather than suffer
the destruction of the town. and the loss of life which
it would entail. Accordingly, the English boats were
manned and roEed up the canal-which was but
twenty yards wide-for distance of several miles,
the banks all the way being crowded with Russians.
who curiOusly scanned the daring strangers. After
passing through drawbridge, the sailors found the
vessels all anchored and moored. Separate crews
were sent on board of EACH and after great deal of
trouble succeeded in getting the larger ones clear.
During the four hours that they at work there
the beach and bridge were thronged with people,
the majority of whom were ladies' Frequently the
blue jackets were obliged to Jump ashore, where they
mingled with their declared enemies, the Russians, in
the most friendly and unconcerned manner. The
correspondent of the Herald says: |" 1t was one of
the droest things imaginable to US, several miles
up an enemys country, coolly walking off with their
ships, and they looking calmly on all the time, in an
admirIng, almost approving manner" The affair
was concluded very quietly the smaller vessels
which appeared to be fishing smacks, not being re-
moved at all-the sailors saying, I" No doubt, they
belong to some poor fellows and we shall ruin them
if we take them"
Thus ended the famous - battle of Lban. 1t was
in reality a delightful species OF pleasure party and
was enjoyed highly by the one hundred and twenty
men who rowed into the midst of large town, well
garrsoned with troops, and, without act of resis
ping in port consisting of two brigantines and siz

1t is really surprising to notice the progress our
California friends are making in every branch of in
dusry and everything else. They are publishing
daily papers, which, for quality or typography, are
not surpassed in the State They are raising this
year an abundant crop of grains and vegetables and
even talk seriously of exporting the anticipated sur
plus of the wheat crop 10 the Atlantic States. They
have brickyards in the immediate vicinity of San
Francisco and Sacramento, which turns out $50 900
daily and it is already recommended that no more
frame buildings be constructed in the thicky settled
portion OF the city: They are providing cemeteries
for the dead, and defeating them with appropriate
services They are drawing from the North many OF

There has, probably, never been greater number
OF important national measures occupying the attention
of the people and Congress of the country than al
this time, Among them may specify:
The Treaty between Mexico and the United States

the Pacific, large accession of territory, and exn,
punishment of certain Mexican claims against the
United States under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hldal-
go, and other advantages and considerations The

Prompt Payment.

We understand that ratications of the Mexican
treaty were this day exchanged between General AL
monte, on the part of Mexico and the Secretary of
State on the part of the United States and that
soon after the exchange Gen. Almonte presented
himself at the Treasury Department for the purpose
of receiving the amount stipulated by the treaty to
be paid on the exchange. The Secretary of the
Treasury already prepared for the payment, and
placed in the minister's hands check on the assis-
tant treasurer at New York for the sum of seven mil
lions of dollars. This is probably the largest sum
which has ever been paid in this country by any one
ckeck and on any single depository 1t is further
probable that it will prove the largest payment thai
has been made at any one time in coin.

NJ. f.. Church, South.

The General Conference of the M. E. Church, South,
made considerable changes in the Church govern
ment, synopsis of which may be of interest TO some
of our readers. In the report on episcopacy, the
committee say that for increasing the
ber of Bishops is, that one of them may during the
greater portion of the time, travel and preach ex-
tensiyely within the bounds of the Pac;ic Confer
ence. another is, that the colored population may
enjoy more of the services of Bishop than they
have heretofore done And thirdly, that at present
the health of the Bspops is often endangered by the
rapidty with which they are compelled to pass from
one Conference to another.
The committee also recommended that "when the
Bishop shall have decided question of law the Con-
ference shall have the right determine how far the
law thus decided or interpreted is applicable 10 the
then pending. An annual Conference shall
have the right to appeal from such decision to the
College of Bishops whose decision in such cases shall
be final. No episcopal decision shall be authorita-
tive except in the case pending nor shall any such
be published until it shall have been approved by the
College of Bishops Each Bishop shall report in
writing to the episcopal college, at annual meeting
to be held by them such decisions he has made,
subsequently 10 the last preceding meeting and all
such decisions when approved by the College OF Bish
ops, shall be either recorded in permanent form,

to adopt--and when so approved and recorded, OF
