Cwip. The Broderick men will he content If
they can prevent OWNS election. but have little
hope OF carrying their own candidate. Ia Lo,
Angeles there has been another instance Of poPu-
lar insubordinatiop. Three men were convicted
there, not long since to be busg for murder
One, Alvitre, was native Californian; the osaefs
Brown and Lee, were American born All were
believed to be guilty. and the people at ono '"o
were about to hang Brown, but they were ino"ceu
to desist by the assurance that he would % mug
according to Law. ALI were convicted. brown
and Lee had friends and money, aud appealed 70
the Supreme Court Avitre had none. They
had be. sentenced to be hung on the sane day,
the 12.h ult and just before that day arrived a
order reached Los Angeles, from the Supreme
Court, that proceedings should be stayed 10 the
cases of Brown and Lee. This act caused great
evaporation among the native Csfornisns, who

punishment much more readily than Californian.
Many of the Americans were disposed to take
part with them.
The great enterprise Of connecting the Atlantic
and Pacific shores is effected BY the completion Of
the Panama Railroad. The first train passed
from Aspinwali to Panama on the 25sh of Jsnua-
sry, causing great excitement 10 that old Spanish
city. and astonishing the natives by the sight Of
FIRE breathing locomotive. Hereafter, the de-
lay, annoyance and danger of crossing the 18th
mus will in great degree be avoided. Passeo-
gers will proceed directly from the cars to the
| steamer, and, with only four hours occupied by
the transit, will escape the exposure to the
weather and liability to disease, which bave hSb-
| erto proved such formidable terrors 70 travellers
bound for California.

Our adsices from the Sandwich Islands give
several additional particulars with regard to the
death Of the late King, audthe efec: of that event
on the native popu alton. II is remarked that
the horrible orgies which were formerly cele-
brated on occasion of royal demise, were en-
nrey omitted, and 10 interruption was expert
enced OF the prevailing peace and good order of
the Island. The only approach 20 the antique
rites was an assemblsge of old women in the
Palace yard, who gave vent to their grief by the
bideOus bowls, which form the traditional lament
for bereavement among the aborigines of the
| Pacific.
