Protection of Building Lots.

We are indebted to Edward F. Burton,
Esq, for copy of the following bill introduced
bv Mr.. Dawley in the Assembly =
The People of the State Of California represent
ed in Senate and assembly, do enact as fol-
loUs ,,.
SEC. |. All lots upon which buildings are
erected, or may hereafter be erected, In the
mining districts Of this State, for the prosecu-
ton Of legitimate business, or for residence,
are hereby declared exempted from the opera
,ion of the local mining laws of said districts.
Sec. g The owners or persons who occupy
such building lots are hereby guaranteed the
peaceful possession of the same, and SO much
space appertaining and belonging thereto as Is
necessary for purposes of business or conven-
ience of residence, until Congress OF the United
States shall enact laws IN reference to such
grounds.
SEC. 3. No person or persons shall erect or
cause to be erected a building or buildings, or
enclose lands by fencing or otherwise, on any
portion Of the mineral lands OF this State, with
the object of holding grounds, so built upon, OF
enclosed, for future mining operations.
We observe this bill is printed in some o.
the S. +. dailies in such manner as to totally
change the sense of the last section, and pro
Libit in fact all building.
The bill We trust will become q law. Under
it no abuses can arise, for it IS especially pro
yided that no lands shall be held for mining
purposes under it. People residing in the
lower cities have little idea of the amount o.
litigation, ill-fceling and trouble, at present
caused by lack of a law definitely settling this
point. A week or two ago we adverted par
ticularly to this subject, and will not further
discuss its merits at present.

LATRR FROM CH1NA.-Rebels advancing on
Pekin-We learn from the Sacramento Union
that the bark Geo. Webster arrived at San
Francisco on the 31st, with As days later news
from China. 1t says the rebels, notwithstand
ing several defeats, are reported to be advane
ing towards Pekin, and were only 60 miles from
it. They were about to take possession Of
Shapghae, which was already partly in their
possession. The sympathies of foreigners were
more with the rebels than imperialists.
The Emperor of Japan is dead.
The American feet were making prepara.
tions to visit Japan again.
There had been collision between the I'M
perialists and foreign residents of Shanghae, by
an attempt of the former to take possession Of
three guns they supposed to be on the way to
the rebels. The foreigners resisted them, and
re-captured the guns, killing several of the i'm
perialists. saa - -asoasf ec 3--
