LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.
New York, March II.

The steamer North Star, with advices
from California to the 10th ult., arrived
here at half past twelve o'clock to-day.
She brings $50 passengers, but no specie
or freight.
Adventures were still leaving San
Francisco for Sonora. Advices had
been received at San Francisco, stating
that the Mexican authorities at Mazatlan
are making extraordinary preparations
for putting the coast in state of de-
fense against Walker, and the inhabi-
tants of Lower California are said to be
enthusiastically in favor of driving the
invaders out of their country.
Rains in California had improved the
mining business, and the miners are
represented to be doing well.
The steamer Goliah had arrived at
San Diego on her way to join Walker,
and it is stated that there had been
trouble in the fllibusters' camp. A
part of the soldiers mutinied, and after
some opposition and threats on the part
of the leaders, the discontented were
finally permitted to leave.
The dates from Oregon are to Janua-

~ Yesterday morning, about one
o'clock, Capt. Hoke, Lieutenant Phillips,
and two other policemen made descent
upon faro bank, situated r. the second
story of a house on the south side OF
Sixth, between Main and Walnut streets.
When the policemen entered the room,
four persons named John Mccormick,
Joseph Smith. John Carman and E. o.
Doxey, were seated at faro bank, with
full set of apparatus, and large sum
of money on the table. The surprised
gamblers caught up their apparatus,
and for a few minutes all was confusion,
but the police seized them as their pris-
oners, and took possession of all the
gaming machinery. The parties gave
bail in the sum of S14O0 for future
hearing to-day.-Cin. Gazette, 13h.

The Coroner's jury, in the case Of
the late DR.. Gardiner, have Just brought
in their verdict, that the deceased came
to his death by means of strychnine and
bruchnine, administered by himself
The analysis of the stomach shows a
large quantity of strychnine; the pow
der found in the pockets of the deceased
was also strychnine; all of which facts
place the cause of his death beyond a
doubt.
The House, this morning, passed a

SUPPRESSION or SMALL Norris IN
YIHeIs1A.-Both branches of the Vir-
ginia Legislature have passed the bill
for the suppression of small notes in
that State, and it is, therefore, now a
law. The first section, which is not to
take effect until June lst, 1858, makes
il the duty of every person, on apply
ing for any kind of license, to take an
oath not TO pay out notes issued by any
bank, corporation, or individual, of 8
less denomination than FIVE dollars
The other sections of the law are to go
into operation on the first of June next.
The second imposes q fine of SO for
offering or issuing any note below S5-
the name signed on the face of any such
note to be deemed an issuer. By the
third section, one-half of the fine is to
go to the informer, who is made COM
petent witness. The remaining Sec
tons we give entire:
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted,
that any person may recover, by mo-
ton before single Justice or Alderman,
or before any court, from any person
whose name is on the face of note of
denomination less than FIVE dollars,
which may be issued after the passage
of this act, five times the amount of
such note, and such recovery shall be
in addition to the fine herein before i'm
posed.
Sec. s. And be it further enacted,
that the penalties imposed by this act
shall be in addition to the penalties
heretofore imposed, and this act shall
be construed remedially.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted,
that this act shall apply as well to in
terest bearing scrip for sums less than
five dollars, as to notes of other descrip-
tions.

FATAL CAsUALTY-Yesterday after.
noon, fiat boat approached the whari
at the foot of Fifth ST., the intention Of
the crew being to land. A young Man
named Barker, jumped ashore with a
lope, which he wound around post
for the purpose of arresting the pro-
gress of the boat. The rapidity of the
current caused such strain upon the
rope. that it snapped in two, striking
the unfortunate man on the head, and
killing him instantly. We understand
the deceased resided at Middle Island
near Wellsburg, up the river.

The MAILs.-The following commu.
nication from Buffalo, Va, reached us
by the Fashion No. 2. 1t is aggrava-
ting for the people to be imposed upon
by few unprincipled mail contractors,
yet there appears to be no remedy for
the evil, as communications have been
forwarded to the Postmaster General,
setting forth our grievances, but up to
tbs present time matters appear to be
getting worse. Under the present man
sgement we get weekly mail instead
of tri-weekly from Chillicothe. The
mail not only misses at every fall of
rain, but at intervals between showers,
when the roads are comparatively good.
We should like to know if the Post
master at Point Pleasant performs his
duty by reporting each failure. The
Journal is regularly sent in time for
each mail that leaves this place:
Mr. James Harper: Your paper has
not come for two weeks. Does the fault
lay with you or the Post Office; if with
the last, publish it to the world that the
Post Office Department is mismanaged,
as much SO as it ever was under any
Administration. With US the mail from
Charleston misses whenever it happens
to rain, and we take it as favor if we
get two regular mails in succession.-
Since French was successful in obtain
ing extra allowance for carrying the
mail between Chillicothe and jackson,
when convenient, / think our contrac-
tor should be rewarded for equally val
liable services.
Respectfully yours.

House Of Representatives, |
18th February. 1854.


Messrs. STIMsoN d PARKER, Gentle
men, In your paper of the 9th inst, l
notice that you refer to the solcitude of
my constituents in relation to my opin-
ions on the subject of the bill to organ
ize the Territories of Nebraska and
Kansas; and you state the fact ''that in
the House committee on Territories OF
which 1 am a member, voted against
the bill reported by the majority,
through Mr.. Richardson, of Illinois, its
chairman-which bill is substantially
the same, or identical with that of Mr..
Douglas In this you are right.
This subject, which now so unneces-
sarily, in my Judgment, engrosses the
time and attention of Congress and the
country, is not yet properly before us in
the House, though the subject is de-
bated, incidentally, while the Home
stead bill is before us.
When we take up the bill to organize
the territory, commonly known as Ne
braska, into one or two territories, in our
House, it is my intention to SPEAK
against it. 1 have voted in the commit
tee, and shall vote in the House, against
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
in every shape and form in which itmay
be presented; and my present impress
sion is, that if the bill should pass the
Senate, it will not pass the House. At
all events, do not think there is a ma
jority of the House of Representatives
in favor of a repeal of a compromise
which has remained untouched for near
ly "a years. shall vote against any
bill that would repeal the same.
Your ob't servant,
JOHN L. TAYLOR.

before the Judges appointed to receive

''The undersigned does hereby protest
against the contract proposed for the ac-
ton of the Stockholders of the said

pany, as unauthorized and illegal, a
contract which It is not competent for q
majority of the Directors to submit to
the Stockholders, or for a majority of
the Stockholders to ratify and confirm;
and ! do now here, in my own behalf,
and in behalf of the interests 1 repre-
sent, say to those present, and to all
others whom it may concern, that 1 de-
