A proposition will be submitted to the
British parliament for material increase
of the army.
y pointed debate took place in the
Spanish Cortes on the 30th of November
on the proposition that the throne OF
Isabel H. should be declared by the Cor
tes one Of the fundamental bases of the
political structure they are about to erect.
Great freedom of speech was used The
republican Marquis Of Albaida opposed
the proposition, and declared that Isabel
was not de tacto queen, but that, since
the revolution of July, she had "been a
thing that had remained in the palace
without exercising the functions ofqueen. ="
Senor Madoz also declared that he would
vote for the monarchy-neyer. On di-
vision, however, the throne was sustained
BY vote Of 19l against l9. Gen o.
Donnell sustained the proposition. This
is perhaps the wisest course for un-
happy Spain; for she is not prepared for
republic, and dethronement of the
queen would only lead to change of dy-
nasty, or civil war, in which the people
would gain nothing.

The Travellers.

| NV dear Mr. Journal come listen awhile,
I'll tell you a story though in a rude style,
About a party that left our city so fair,
One bright Monday morning a coach and two pair;
There was p who sells books, the Doctor and Judge.
And one against whom every body bears grudGe;
They call him an Editor, so says my friend,
And the reason i, plain why be doth all offend
The stars were yet twnkling the morning was clear
The keen frost shooting Ger everything near.
When the party assembled, in readiness all,
And baggage in hand, were awaiting call
From coachee, whose welcome "all in"

IN trlce twas all right they were off at the word,
W hlle cheer after cheer from the thousand around
NJ ade the hills of old Deer creek in thunder res ound

As old Sol was peeping mp er the east ridge.

And enquire the cause of the terrible clatter.

And the cause Of the uproar at oacc oo.nrrchend..
A bright smile of welcome spreads over us face
While their feet steeds gallantly bent to ,he race
And the party within they bounded along
Kept the frosty air ringing with laughter and song.
With laugh, joke and song, and puns or the day,

They sung in full chorus among others of note.

That soul-tucking ballad of Old I Father Grimes.

Ere they passed out of hearing, VOW it is true.
BY conscience, dear Journal. I'll not deceive you.

On the wings of the zephyr, yet hear the sound;

the people Of the State. There certainly was
no deliberate murder, He fred too soon, per
haps under false alarm--but it was under
alarm for lis own life, and self-dcfeLse alwavs
justifes killing. If he mistook the amount Of
his danger, he has been punished for it, and a
mistake, though careless, is not deserving the
deep damn tion of a ftlons death.
Do not the press of the State feel sufficient
sympathy Gor this erring, unfortunate brother
editor, to recommend commutation Of his
heavy sentence, or a pardon. Depend upon
It, the lesson he has learned will make him a

Special Legislation.

! Mr.. Phelps has introduced bill into the
House to authorize one Montgomery to prac-
tse law in the court. Of this State The nll ged
necessity Of the law is that Montgomery is an
alien, and cannot become practising lawyer
without special statute. As TO special icgis.
la,ion generally, it is apt TO degenerate into "a
voritism, and be used for unworthy Objects
though there arc often proper objects for it.
or the former class is the bill Of Mr. PHELPS
though We doubt its effect in securing the object
designed even il passed, serious question
would arise in the mind Of judge in whose
court such special statute was presented rs to
its force, for it is in cohtravention of general
law, and opposed to public policy. But wheth-
er judge would allow The privilege assigned
by the bill or not, is it polite for the Legislature
to pass special law SO directly untagonis cal
to general law Of the State, and one recog-
nizcd in every State Of the Caioa az based in
reason and justice.
Granting the policy. can the Legislature
pass an act Of the character contemplated in
Mr.. Phelps bill. Will they make 20 direct a
thrust at the constitution Of the State and
general governments, as TO grant privilege
TO an alien--a sworn subject OF : foreign pow
er-which is not allowed to our own citizens,
towit: to practice the profession " the law
in our courts, ar!tboW 4 st taking upon am
self on oath 10 support our contribution and
gorernme7t? As . lawyer practising in for
cign country, he has taken such an cath to his
own government. Onl! BY becoming citi
zen, can he in the eye Of our laws cancel tho
obligation Of that oath, and docs not even then
/ DO it in the view Of his own government. By
{ becoming q citizen he has 10 necessity ofa ape
cial law for his admission here TO practice
/ I ne wny is as open to him as 10 = native. But
while he is sworn to allegiance to q foreign
power, and does not cancel his oath, be is not
fitted custodian Of our laws Our laws are
required TO conform 10 the constitution. and
are passed upon by our court, in rcftronc c
thereto A lawyer is cmpbatica lly an officer
OF the court, and tn kes4part its business. How
eau he De received into our judicial tribunals
without taking the constitutional cath And
how cal he in conscience take the required
oath to support our laws, &c, while at the
same time he is q subject, and owes allegiance
to another, and perhaps unfriendly power
bound by birth, and by his oath, to that pow
er? The Legislature might as well pass an
act granting to foreigner the privilege otex-
crcsing judicial functions and duties. Tie vi
olation of principle would be no greater in one
case than III The other. Bat NC 10 not believe
the Legislature will pass III act 10 repugnant
to good sense. And we do not visa to see

Independent Line of Steamers.

We learn it is in contemplation among
certain gentlemen Of San Francisco to
start line of steamers to Panama to con-
meet with others on the Atlantic side, in
opposition 20 the present ocean steamship
monopoly. In fact to this end compa-
ny has been formed, with Gen. Wilson as
Its president, and steamer negotiated
:or c. purchased The basis Of opera
tions is . capital Of $500, 900, in shares
of $500 each. It is the design of the
company to disperse as widely as possible
one-third Of the shares through The inte-
rior counties, to interest the public
in the enterprise and ensure its sue
cess. Each certificate of a share of $500
is good for first class passage to or from
New York on its presentation at the office
of the association. The present rate for
first rate class passage is 1925. Any
person holding share and not desiring a
passage draws his pro rata dividend of the
profits of the enterprise, and may do so
as long as he chooses, and then obtain
his passage. As fast as shares are return
cd to the Office they arc to be reissucd in
the same way. One advantage to the
line is that every shareholder is imme-
diately interested in its success, and bis
influence with his friends is secured for
the object To secure such interest,
and the consequent good will of the pub
lie, the proprietors have, We learn, refused
to allow the stock to be taken in large
quantities by few individuals, and in one
instance declined to take subscripti yn
of one-third Of the stock.
As to such an enterprise paying, there
is no doubt, if it is properly conducted
Two hundred dollars in the cabin and one
hundred dollars in the steeyage, as 4
steady price, will handsomely renumerate
the company. In conversation with a
gentleman we'll conycrsant with the cost
of running steamers to Panama, we re-
Gently OBJ tanned the data upon which is
based the following calculation:
Say the boat costs $l40, ,000-burns IS
tons of coal and runs - knots an hour
and carries 500 passengers, (say 400 tons
Of coal trip Then suppose there are
$50 first class passengers and $50 second
class passengers each ,0ay, We have
800 passengers f st class at s29o ssn.ooo
The Nevada journal., 1855-01-26

Nearly $50 per cent upon the capital
invested in the ship, and all the expenses,
not included in this estimate are those ofthe
salaries of the President, Secretary and
Treasurer, Office rent, &c.
Thus, such an enterprise would not on
ly perform the great good of counterac-
ting the effect of the present selfish com
bination of steamship companies, and thus
greatly benefit the State, but it would pay
handsomely every shareholder We hope
it will succeed We need population in
this State-men to work our mines
plough our felds-build up manufactures
and engage in all departments of bust
ness. We need a population of a million
men. We can never have it with such a
tariff on travel. We hope the public will
hail the new enterprise, and ensure it sue
cess.
