The when the fact is
taken into consideration, that the Legisla-
ture has now but fifteen working days
within which to complete the business of
the present session, it is not little sur
prising that the two houses should waste,
from day to day, SO much precious time
in idle motions, and yet more idle discus
sions More than two hundred bills, we
learn, are yet in the hands of the several
committees to whom they have been re-
ferred, not only unreported but unacted
upons and yet, day after day is passed in
debates, having really no practical bear
ing on fhe business Of legislation. We
have heard it frequently remarked, by
men who have been residents of Caifor-
MIA from the commencement of our State
political organization to the present period,
that no California Legislature has at
tempted more and performed less than the
Legislature now in session in Sacramento.
If the present course is persisted in, it is
to be feared that measures of Importance
will be so hurried through the two Houses
during the last few days of the session,
that the next Legislature will have ,abun-
dance of employment in correcting the
blunders Of the present. The practice Of
reporting the speeches Of members is not
calculated to promote the business of
egislation.-Sac Democrat

The bark Walter CIaxtOn, Capt. Jos
w. Folger, started from Mendocino on
Friday, about noon, with load of lum-
Der for this port, and when about ten miles
out, it was discovered that she was par
TALLY filled with water. A heavy sea
struck her about this time and threw her
on her beam ends, and she soon after
turned completely bottom up. She had
on board sixteen persons, including the
officers and crew, who succeeded in get
ting safely into boat, which, as the sea
was running very heavily, was upset al
most Immediately, and the mate, Samuel
Perry, from Nantucket, Massachusetts,
was drowned. A raft was gathered to-
gether of the floating lumber with which
the bark was freighted, and a number of
the passengers and crew got on it. Capt
Turner, of the schooner laramie, having
witnessed the accident, got under way as
quickly as possible. and went to the as
sstance of the shipwrecked persons; bht
as the sea was rolling very heavily, and
the wind blowing severely from the north
west, and Capt. Turner having no ballast
he could not approach very near to the
shore. They passed the body of Mr.
James Stuart, late of the firm of Stuart &
Gardiner, ship chambers, of this city,
which was floating in the water. Three
men were picked up and brought to this
city in the Taranto. These were Henry

FURTHER PARTICULARS FRoMTHE BARK
WALTER CLAxToN.-We learn from Capt
Lent, of the brig North Bend, which ar
rived yesterday from Mendocno, that the
bark Walter Claxton lays in the mouth Of
the Albion harbor, bottom up. They
could see the bodies Of two men under
water lashed to the larboard main sail,
but we're unable to clear them on account
of the surf. The body Of Capt. Folger
was found on the 26th inst, about half
mile north Of Albion river. He was badly
bruised and cut, and entirely naked. He
was buried at Mendocino the day he was
found. There was strips of sea weed
twisted together and used for lashings to
keep the raft together, which showed that
he had struggled for life while there was
hopes, but without avail.-Iimes f. Trans
