FROM CALIFORNIA.

The steamship Northern Light arrived in New York onlhe 5th inst. from San Juan, after remarkably short passage of less than 90 days. She brings $940.O00 in gold, The news by this arrival Is of uncommon interest. Accounts from the mines are ia vorable. Some new financial developments in connection with the late house of Adams & Co.,, have caused great excitement at san Francisco. Several deaths from cholera took place on the passage of the Sierra Ne vada from San Juan to San Francisco. Col Kinney has arrived at San Juan with party of twenty-four men. Adyices from Acapui. co announce that Santa Anna has resigned the Presidency of Mexico, and that Alvarez had marched on the capital with 30, ,OO0 troops. Whatever the correctness of the report. of which we ha se no details tits said that Alvarez is signally triumphant.
 Melenirez, who drove Walkers forces out of Lower California, and who had rendered himself popular 10 Americans, by encour- aging them to settle in the country, and who was carrying on great trade with San Francisco, has been seized and shot by or der of one Lieut.. Pnjol, who had been ap- pointed commander of the country. Pujol has ordered all foreigners to leave the pro- vince on pain of death. He threatens es- pecially to shoot every American he finds in the province. If an American is killed, no- thing can prevent an invasion of the coun- try by the indignant Californians.

D The amount of Government claims to come before the Court at Washington is over $500, ,000. .0o0, prominent among which are remnants of the old Continental money and the Provincial Scrip issued to support the country through the revolutionary strug- gle-private advances to the Government during the war, afterwards repudiated. The French Spoliaticn men have decided not to petition the Court, relying upon the next House of Representatives, despite the Pre- sidential veto.

The steamship Asia arrived at Halifax on Mednesday with Liverpool dates to the 2lst oi July. Mr. Roebuck's motion for a vote ot censure on the government was defeated
 m the Commons by lO7. The Ministry is therefore sustained. The Allies at Sebas- topoi had met with small successes. The Russians are again invading Turkish ter ritory, doubtless by the treachery of the Aus trians. The Black Warrior affair with Spain is definitely settled, the Government agree ing to pay an indemnity of a million of reals.

E A young man, says the Bridgepor.

T A young man, says the Bridgeport Standard, named Thomas Riley, was killed on the Housatonic Road, Friday morning, somewhere near Hawleyville. It seems that he was lying near the track, and was caught by the cow-catcher of the morning train do,On. He was partly hidden by the grass, and was not seen by the engineer in time to save him. He was an im6ecile, and subject to fits. It is supposed that he had fallen down helpless, and possibly he was dead before the train arrived. He belong- ed, it is said, in New,own, and had strayed away from his home.

For the Enquirer. MORE DISCRIMINATION.
KENT PLAINS, August 4th. Ies

--
 MR. EDiroR-The axe has again fallen, and another body is made to bleed on the scafiold of administrative prescription. Our village Post Master, -Leeman Beecher, Esq., has just been removed, and the subseque mt duties of the office have been ..forced' up- on Rufus Fuller, Esq, to his great inconce. nience and extreme ..resrct l" Mir. Beecher was early appointed by the present admin istration, and his appointment was cordially approved by all parties; and he has dis charged his duties of the office in manner eminently creditable to himself, and highly satisfactory to this community-nor can any one, no matter with what pusillanimiiy they may have played at the clandestine game of his removal, impute to him with the slightest degree Of justice, any want of official integrity or fidelity. He was ap- pointed as Democrat and as such, he has at all times acted prominently with that party in all their regular political operations. No more eligible place can be found for keeping the office than where it has been kept by him-and yet he has been tried condemned and executed without the know ledge ot an accusation, or the appearance of an accnser. What has produced this strange exhibition of erecutire ,crathf why has he been star chambered in this summary manner so contrary 10 the remotest expec. tation and desire of those who are interest ed in this branch of the department-an why the office should be '.forccd'' upon a man, whose aspirations are so averse to official aggrahdizemeh,, and whose feelings of sorrow a, tue change are so keen, as are those of his immediate successor; is the legitimate yet unavaiiing inquiry of all to whom tue fact is made known, and perhaps the true causes which produced this charge may continue concealed by the evidently sinister and subtle elements which enpen- dered them. Althoagh the new incumbent IS Democrat, and sterling and eminent politician, yet this fact is wholly unsatis- factory. as source of explanation, when given in connection with the secrecy of his appointment, and the apparent sorrow which marks lis acceptance.
 Whether Mir. Beecher's removal has been accomplished by fairness or trickcry, either in high or low places-or whether it has been done to gratify the peevlsh jealousies and wild aRimosities of the few, in direct opposition to ths desires of the inany-are questions, over which, we shall leave the the success of this dark scheme, to ponder at their leisure, and to the unerring future we commit them all.
 Joy go with our old post master, and thanks for his many acts of official kind ness. Let the vengeance of the Adminis- tratioa invade where it will, and destroy what 1t may-let secre: caballers reyei amid their caInivaIs of triumph--a common fate awaits them all, and the voice of people disenlhralled will soon proclaim that the "reign ef terror" has ceased; and even now in this instance it may with truth be 1 said,
 : More true joy. Marcellus, exiIed. feels Than Caesar, with the Cabinet at hIs heels. T LEG ION.

Il- Inc removal of .he poss masser !

B The removal of the post mssser ai Kent, of which . correspondent speaks in ano,hes colama. is an act ssniaentiy worthy lof our driveliag administration, and should be recorded IS one of the sesies of deeds which has principally distinguished its ca rcer-she proscsipiion of every thiag known or suspected ef dissenting from the prescri. bed csrrd. We lcara that Mr. Beccher was faithful aud competent officer, gave uni. sersal satisfaction and kept the office at the most convenient point but he was snspec- sed of favoring tho American continent. and therefore was removed by tho department, without petition or even the knowledge ol lsalf a dozen inhabitants of the town. Se we 70. high md low. from Gov. Reeder sc Postmaster Beecher-everything is remov. ed which ssands in the way of the admin. issasion in developing its inborn iniquity aud working ou, its destiny.

ELEcTTOHs.

ELECTEONs. Fl Much interest has been felt in the result of the elections of Tennessee and Nortl, CsroIina, held on the 2d. and Kentucky, Alabama and Texas on the 9th instaut- these being the first States 10 vote after the adoption of tic Philadelphia platform by the American party. In all these States the contest has been between the American and Democratic parties. no other nominations having been made; and the latter having cringed the lowest 10 the slave interest have met with the best success. In Tennessee, a Governor. fen members of Congress and members of the Legislature were elected 1; Johnson Qoco) is probably chosen Governor and majority of the Congressmen are Of the same stripe. North Carolina elected members of Congress and the State Legis- latare only, and it is nearly certain thai most of the loco candidates are successful there also. The first returns from Kentucky are more favorable to the Know Nothings i; as far as received at present they indicate good success of that party. We have no news from Alabama and Texas, but the party which has promised the largest to slasery has doubtless carried them. The three last mentioned States elected only members of Congress and their State Legislatures.
 These elections are all that are to be held this summer, and conrlete the House of Representatives with the exception of the States of Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland and MssissTrS, all of which vote in the fall. Maine and. Vermont hold their elections for Governors and Legislatures in September, the members of Congress being ballotted for last fall. In Georgia, eight members of Congress and Governor are to be chosen. Louisiana. Maryland and Mississippi vote in November for members of Congress. It is calculated that if the States yet to elect members Of the aex. Congress, should be represented iI this as in the last Congress, there will De an Anti-N Nebraska majority in the House of Representatives of 3s. And even if they return all Nebraska men, there will be an Ana-N Nebraska majority in .Las body of 9.

New Machine shop.

The Foundry and Machine Shop of tbe Lawrence Company at Norfolk is comple- ted, and they are now ready to commence operations on the largest scale. The com pany have capital of twenty-five thousand dollars, and have erected and furnished buildings which are credit to the county. The Winsted Herald says of the establish- ment:
 It is situated upon the Albany Turnpike about one mile West of Norfolk center, and about five miles from Canaan Depot and the Housatonic Railroad, in the midst of an abundance of water power of value equal to any in this favored region, and much of which is we'll improved. The main Machine building is builtof beautiful gray granite quarried from the surrounding hills; it is 232 feet in length by 40 in width, one and a half stories high, and connects with
 Wheelhouse 50 by 20 feet in size. There. is still in connection Foundry TO feet by 40, with all the appointments and convent ences for turning out any kind of castings, F of any size or shape that can be required,, and also shop for woodwork 50 by 30,. three stories high, with Pattern Honse 40 by. 20. The whole establishment is propelled by one over-shot water-wheel 43 feet in diameter and eight feet wide, (probably the. largest wheel in the Statc) which is carried by water diverted from the neyer-failing Blackberry River in an amount capable of performing an almost unlimited manufactur- ing business. The whole establishment is. built in the most thorough and permanent rrs,ds hn mechanics and all others engaged in thas enterprise. gss
 The business to be carried on at tAe Lawrence Works we understand to. be-, in addition to the manufacture and repaiG of all kinds of machinery, that of making Car and Wagon Axles, Ship Irons, &c., &c.y--every- thing in the line of machinery that can be constructed from wood and iron. The whole establishments is cFejisable to the skill and enterprise of its owners and projectors, and we hope 1t may, as it musti well managed, prove profitable investment for the stock holders.
