San FraneiscO-From the pen of Bisnop mp nj:

i g. Er.,e,sco-From the pen of Bishop Kip.
The following extracts from a letter from BISHOP
Kip, appear in the Albany Journal
You speak of The refined society and marble pal
aces of San Francisco" 1t is literally true. There
are more splendid buildings there than IN Albany
One built of brown for ofhcers, &C, is as
large, and fully equal in exterior 10 metropolitan
Hotel in n. Y. AS to the society, there Is more &C
tive intellect in it than any society nave ever seen
There are more men of distinguished talents gather
cd from all parts of the Union-ex members of Con-
gress, like Governor Fooe. Stanley of North Caro-
lima Duer of New York. Bailie Peyton, OF Iennes-
Sec &c. You may think it strange declaration,
but it is literally true, that never preached with SO
much dfidence before any congregation as NOSE IN
this city | see before me on Sunday an array OF
talent and intellect that | never did before In my
congregation whose names have been celebrated for
years in the politics of the country from some OF the
old States.
And then think the elegance of living would
somewhat astonish you. have been at inner par
ties where you might easily imagine yourself in
New York, for they as handsome as those have
ordinarily been invited there. There is an easlness
about society here, rather European IN It's tone,
which relieved from all the stiffness OF the East
We live with an independence in our own suite OF
apartments Just as used to do in Florence or Rome,
and do just please in way never could do
in the East. Our situation is delightful. San Fran
cisco is built a succession of hills, and our street
is half way up so that We overlook the whole
city and nay just as II we were lVlhg i'll Nlr OledII
Arbor Hill. In addition to this, we have had
every attention we could imagine, and were it not
for the separation from my friends in the East, moth
ing could be pleasant than my residence here.
The people themselves certainly omitted nothing to
make it so.
There is an utter disregard Of money here, which
is rather strange TO one from the East. know two
gentlemen here the income of one of whom is estima-
ted at $500 day, and the other at 1000. We are
going start diocesan college, and sent clergy
man to one of these gentlemen (TEomrs o Larkin)
to ask what he would give He at once offered a
township of GAO acres of the hest land in the State
for its site, and am to 90 up to Sonoma soon 10
choose it, This land is exceedingly valuable. and
could be sold at any moment for from Sl2 to $50 per
acre. When they take interest in anything here
they put their hands in their pockets in good earnest
You may depend upon it, that much you abuse
California, were you living here, you would enjoy
the society," climate sc. in way you cannot now
imagine.

blesome in the vcinties of San Antonio, Laredo and

eral robberes and murders, and further depreciation
against life and property is feared 1t is stated that
public meeting of the citizens of Webb county has

steps towards redressng their grievances. Resolu-
tons were unanimously carried to forward the pro-
ceedings 10 the Governor. with the request that he
will have the question of the guilt innocence of
the Lpans inquired into, and that the facts of the
report be made known to the United States Govern
ment. and urgent appeal also made for sufficient
force.

In a somewhat confused account Of a speech made

In a somewhat confused account OF speech made
by General Dockery at Newbern, on Monday last,
which we find in the Atlantic ofthe Goth, an attempt
is made to convey the impression that Mr. Bragg is
opposed to Internal Improvements in this State. 1t
is proper to remark that Mr.. Bragg not at New
BERN but the Atlantic says that General Dockery says
that Mr. Bragg SAID something at Edenton, 1chot is
extremely difficult 10 understand, but appears to be
that Mr. Bragg opposed to the distribution of the
public Lands or borrowing the money TO build the N
Carolina Road to Beaufort One thing appears strange,
and that is that none of the accounts of the discus
sion held at Edenton between Messrs. Bragg and
Dockery made any mention of this at all, although
that discussion took place some time SINCE but 1t was
necessary for General Dockery 10 say something about
it at Newbern Mr. Braggs absence, and for that ver
acous chroncler ofthe times, the Atlantic TO say what
General Dockery said Mr.. Bragg said away al Eden
ton. The truth about the matter we presume, is
simply this-Mr. Bragg is in favor of fair and lib
era system of Internal Improvements for North Car
oina as a whole, but is conscious that the details OF
such SYSTEM or the devising and carrying out of par
tcuar measures, belongs to the Legislature and &c
the people of the State and not TO the Governor who
ought not to be committed to this or that particular
scheme or project.

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Journal of Commerce states that Mr. Borland our
Minister in Central America, has sent home Trea-
ty, by the hands of the Secretary of the Legation,
Mr. Beelan, made with Nicaragua The Treaty pro-
vides that the United States shall recognize estab
ished, the boundaries of Nicaragua and includes the
Mosquito country within her limits. The United
States overnment is thus made to guarantee the dis
puted claim of Nicaragua, to the country of the Mos
quito indians. The object of this treaty is, says the
Baltimore American, of course, to place the U. S.
Government in hostile position towards the Govern
men of Great Britain this question, in pursuance
of the policy adopted by Mr., Squier, while he was
Minister to Nicaragua.
