A BATTLE BETWEEN CHINEsE.-The section OF
California known as Little China, was on the 9th
ult, the scene of another desperate fight between
a detachment OF each of the Hung Shun- Thung
and E. Hing forces, the latter being totally routed
and defeated. The number engaged at the first
onset did not exceed twenty, but either side were
reinforced by double that number before the con.
cuslon of the conflict. The +. Kings acted only
ON the defensive the other party making the attack
At the commencement the L. Kings were In posi-
ton on the sidewalk, Immediately beneath the bal
cony of the Canton Exchange, the rear of heir
position being naturally protected by the building
Unfortunately, they were attacked simultaneously
upon the front and right wing. leaving them but
little of the advantage to be desired In the Chinese
method of warfare. The weapons used on the oc-
cssion were axes knives, bamboos and bottles,
both parties being equally armed. One man re-
ceived a severe cash on the head from an axe, and
nearly every one engaged 10 the fight were more
or less bruised and wounded.

"We regretto to be obliged to notice an unfortunate
afray that took place in the hall of the House,
Thursday, the 4th inst. The facts were communi
Gated to us by an eyewitness to the transaction,
and are said to be correct as they transpired. On
the day mentioned, during the debate upon the
Governors message vetoing the "v3lunteers cam
pagn BILL some offensive personal remarks passed
between Messrs. Ramirez and Miguel Pine. After
the House had adjourned, these two gentlemen
came together and were talking the matter over in
rather excited manner. While thus engaged,
Mr.. Facundo Pine, the Speaker, descended from the
Speakers chair approached the parties, and struck
Mr.. Ramirez twice with large cane, with force
enough to knock him down. after which he drew
pistol from his pocket but before any further harm
could be done the bystanders rushed in and inter-
fered. Mr.. Ramirez was quite seriously wounded
but not dangerously so, and was Immediately carr
ried to his quarters, where he now lies under the
care of DR.. DeLeon. From what we have been
able to learn, the attack was entirely unprovoked,
and is cond demned by every one."
