Gov B1GLER has recently been visiting at San
Francisco, where he was received with great en-
thusiasm. The people will delight to honor Hon
est John for his manly course in protecting the
State from the band of plunderers lately convened
in Sacramento. His vetocs have been source of
great qualification, and to the people deliverance
from monster frauds. No act of his has brought
dscredit or dishonor upon the State Approval Of
his conduct is deeply rooted in the hearts of the
people, and soon the thousand dollar legislature
may call on the rocks and mountains to hide then,
from an offended constituency. Speaking Of the
Governors visit to S. F., the Sun says
"When the steamer Antelope landed with His
Excellency at Vallejo street wharf he received
by the S. f. Blues, II number Of officers from other
military companies and deputation OF several
thousand citizens who placed him in an open ba-
rouche drawn by four splendid white horses and
with a band of music, escorted him through the
principal streets, to the Merchants Exchange. As
the orderly and imposing procession moved along,
the various engine bells of the city tolled in honor
of the occasion, flags were run up and acclama-
tions shouted at the different public places where
knots Of citizens were gathered witnesses of the
scene The whole affair was indeed proud dis
play, and must have been most gratifying to His
Excellency's feelings.
"At the Merchants Exchange, the procession
halted. Gov. Bigler was escorted into its spacious
rotunda, followed by as many people as could gain
admittance, while hundreds were compelled to re-
main outside in the streets. Having been elevated
above the dense multitude he delivered stlrrnS
speech which was received with every possible de-
gree of appreciation

MINING. Tho success of miners during the
winter just past is topic of general conversation.
1t is generally believed, that more gold has been
taken from our mines in the past three MONTHS
than ever before in the same length of time Tho
latest improvements in mining have been intro
duced which, with the large facilities afforded by
numerous canals, have contributed greatly to the
success of miners. The hill dggngs truly
productive and the miners economical: giving
monte banks wide BERTH and observing the Sab
bath they wear happy faces and heavy purses
Having confidence in bankers, they keep their
money and laugh at the break-downs of San Fran
cisco, and are ready and able to invest money in
enterprises for the introduction of water. The
Tunnel Canal Company commenced on Tuesday
last, and very another line of canal, bringing
water from the South Fork, will be completed,
being the fifth canal supplied from the source
and passing this place. The cry is, Give us more

NEW YoRk, Jan. 25-Tbe steamer George Law
arrived at her dock at halfpast nine O'Clock this
morning, with California mails and passengers Of
the LIST.
The news from California is unimportsnt. No
rain had previously occurred, until the day the
steamer Jeff, when a tremendous storm prevailed.
The Law" reports that the storm commencing
the day before the passengers left San Francisco,
was more severe than any which had occurred
since 1852
The mining interests had suffered much from
want Of rain. The traders OF the interior had
been doing no business worth naming for months
past,
The supreme court have declared that Sacra-
men,o is 10 be hereafter the State capital.
James Hogan, the city marshal, is a defaulter
in the amount of sc, 900.
Thirty State prisoners escaped on the 9th.
The want of rain has caused great npprehen-
sions regarding the agricultural interests.
The steamer Sonora was robbed Of $4,000, on
her way TO Panama, $4,000 Of which were re-
covered, and the carpenter and boatswan have
been arrested.
The legislature was 10 meet on the 7th. The
principal question Of importance before it is the
election OF a senator TO succeed DIR. Gwin. ~Brod.
srick is supposed TO be principal among the pro-
posed candidates.
The dry season has seriously affected the mer
camille community. The supply OF gold from the
interior has been very limited, and the drain upon
funds has been severely felt. The markets con.
tinue unchanged The rains of the first instant
have given fresh hopes, and il is thought business
wouldsoon revive. Indications are favorable o
revival Of active mining operations, and thus
business throughout the State would acquire .
now impetus.

House of Representatives.

The SPEAKER laid before the House mes
sage from the President, covering documents from
the Postmaster General and the Secretary Of the
Interior, including propositions 10 the Govern
ment for the sale OF sites for post Office and court
accommodations in the cities OF New York and
Philadelphia. The President submits the subject
10 Congress for their decision.
Mr.. WITTE moved that the message and doc
uments be referred 10 a select committee which

Mr.. CHANDLER made an Intellectual effort 10
take from the Speakers table, with view 10 its
passage, the joint resolution of the Senate in re-
lation 10 sending an expedition 10 the Arctic seas
ia search Of DR. Kane.
The House--ayes &c, noes 29-rsolved itself
into the Committee of the Whole on the state OF
the Union, and resumed the consideration Of the
French spoliation bill.
Mr. PHELPS said that he was interested in
this claim, not, however, by any act of his own
and, therefore, he announced this fact as a reason
why he should take no part In the action of the
House. Besides, the rule prohibited member
from acting in such event.
Mr. SEYMOUR was called 10 preside over the
committee. He stated that the question pending
was on the motion OF Mr.. Orr TO strike ont the
first section Of the substitute offered by Mr.
BAYLY.
Mr.. ORR opposed the bill.
Mr.. PHILLIPS addressed the committee in ia
vor Of IT,
Mr.. MILLSoN argued TO show that assignee,
of the claimants and insurance Offices should be
excluded from the benefits Of the bill.
Mr.. BAYLY closed the debate, answering nrgu
menis which had been urged against the bill.
Without coming 10 a conclusion on the sub
Ject,
The committee rose, and the
House adjourned.
