ineligibiity of Mr. Trumbull, the consttu

court from accepting any other Office during
the term for which he was elected judge,
nor for one year after the expiration of such
term. Mr.. Trumbul has resigned his judg.

Ihe neW Territory recently purchased
by The United States, in the north Of So

attention, if may judge from number
Of settlers who have made Tuxon their per-

as well as from SoIora, all the valleys of
the country are perfectly accessible by
conveyance of every kind, good wagon

alike the extreme heat of Lower Sonora

ECUADOR GUASo.-It is well known that
valuable deposits Of guano have been dis
covered on the Galapagos and other islands
OF the Pacific ocean belonging to the re-
public of Ecuador. Most of these discov-
cries have been made by Americans; and
the following translation Of communica-
ton which appeared in Onto paper,
shows that the enterprise Of our country
men is not entirely unappreciated, even in
Ecuador:-S. F. Herald.
"In No. 90 Of your periodical, 1 have
read an article relative to the discovery of
guano on the Galapagos and the La Plata
Islands, in which you make honorable mem
tiOn Of Messrs. Jose Villami and Julius de
Brissot, natives of the United States, as
the discoverers Of this valuable fertilizer on
the Gallipelago. For this act of justice to
two Of my meritorious countrymen, l beg
to tender you my Acknowledgements And
| have now to request that your readers
may be apprised Of the fact that another
North American. equally enterprising and
deserving, IN. P. Game, Esq, Consul Of
the United States at Guayaquil), is the
discoyercr of the guano on the La Plata
and adjacent islands, He made repeated
explorations before his efforts were reward
Jed with success. And it ought here to be
mentioned that his mercantile partners at
Guayaquil, Messrs. Horatio Fl. Cox aud
Juan Gutierrez, united with him in defray-
ing the expenses of tine expedition under
taken by him, and which have finally been
crowned by the encouraging results just
announced. NORTH AMERICAN.

The INsuRRrcrIoN IL CUpA-The Mad.
rid correspondent of the London Times
gives fuller account of the projected rev.
olution in Cuba than we have received from
that island. The chief rfotter was said to
be CasIiian named Pluto. Concha was
to have been shot at the opera, the lights
cxtipguished, and the shout of independence
raised. The conspiracy had been going on
for twelve months, had extensive ramiiica-
tions, and rcckoned on cooperation frou
the United States. The conspirators met
at the Lyceum Club under pretence of play
ing cards and billiards.
1t has been stated that the Spanish Min
ister of Foreign Affairs had recommended
different policy towards the CubanS. He
recommends that they be conciliated by
liberal legislation.

You have undoubtedly heard of the
troubles at the mines, on account of the
oppression imposed on the diggcrs by the
commissioners at the gold fields how the
miners rebelled against the government
officials; how troops were dispatched to
Ballarat TO qucl the insurrcction, aud, a
collisian taking place, some few were killed
and others wounded. But at the time OF
our departure everything had assumed its
former quiet-martial law, which had been
put in force at Ballarat, was withdrawn,

must do their duty, were no longer pla-
cardcd at every corner, and mems faces did
not show the mark Of excitement they did
week or two before
One cause Of this change in the aspect
of affairs in Australia, was the resignation
of the Colonial Secretary, (Mr Foster, }
who was supposed to possess great influence
with his Excellency, the Governor, and to
him they attributed these stringent meas
ures in relation to the license tax, which led
them to refuse compliance. So odious had
the Secretary rendered himself, that the
public journals, as well as the voice of the
people, almost universally condemned him
and that, too, in no very chosen language
so that he was forced TO resign his Office
| if he was either sensitive or sensible. The
vacancy was not filed at the time we left
Melbourne, but, as it is situation Of ne
small importance and responsibility, the
future peace and quiet will depend mucl
upon the good sense aud judgment Of The
Governors selection.

KossuTH's OPINION OF THE NEw CzAR.--
The young Emperor Alexander ii, is not
found slow in his revelations. In his first
manifesto, be declares to take solemn oath
before God, to maintain Russia on the
highest standard Of power and glory, and
to accomplish the incessant wishes and views
Of Peter, Of Catharine, Of Alexander, and
Of Nicholas" Has the tarantula Of per-
sonal ambition stung the young man like
wise? No He is but the incumbent Of
Muscovite Czarism-that's all. The wishes
and views Of Peter, Catharine, Alexander
and Nicholas Why, what does that
mean? The wishes and views Of Peter, you
know from his life, and from his last will
and you know, likewise, that he caused his
own son to be murdered in prison, estima-
ting him incapable of carrying out his
views. The wishes and views Of Catharine
are told in those words: This is the road
to Constaninople" Those Of Alexander !,
in the saying, "Constantinople is the key
to my house, and by his Tilsit negotiations.
Those Of Nicholas are known from his cam
paign Of 1928 from the repeated occupa-
tion Of Moldo Wallachia from his inter
vention in Hungary, 1.-THE foulest act in his
sanguinary career, which trust TO the Jus
tice Of the Almighty. weighed the heaviest
in the balance of retribution to bis soul;)
his wishes and views ere known from the
secret Seymour correspondence, and from the
actual war. These are the new wishes and
views which the new Emperor swears to
accomplish. And England dreams Of

The Legislature of Louisiana has passed
a bill allowing the property bequeathed to
the cities Of New Orleans and Baltimore,
in the McDonough legacy, to be divided.

DIr The extraordinary expenses to which
many firms in New York city are subject in

Each corner store (about 20 feet front J
