ROBBERY on THE SoNoRfA.-When the Pa
eific mail steamship Sonora arrived at Pana-
ma, on her last trip down, and after many OF
her passengers had gone ashore, it was discov-
cred that $27 Geo, in gold coin and bars. had
been stolen from the treasure-room. That
room WAS lined on the inside with sheet-iron,
except the ceiling, which was Of oak and about
three inches thick. Immediately over the
treasure-room was the nursery-room, which
was not occupied on the trip down. The rob-
berry was effected by cutting down. from the
nursery-room, through the floor, hole suffi-
ciently large to admit the body of man. The
hole was cut by boring augur-holes along in a
line, and cutting communication from one
to another with saw and chisel. The trea-
distracted contained in carpet-bag
and in small box. a great quantity OF other
treasure, inclosed in large cases, was not dis
turbcd. About SIS 900 of the money stolen
in coin, the remainder in bars of 81 ,OO0
and 1000 each So soon the theft was
discovered, active investigations were instltu-
ted to discover the money and the thief. 5 Sl3.-
300 in coin were found secreted, in small
sums, from $50 to $500 in place, in the little
creviccs about the knees of the vessel, and be-
tween the interstices of the timbers in the low
er steerage. All efforts to discover the bars and
the remainder of the coin were unaya'ing. No
conclusive evidence was found against any one.

that purpose has senta German Catholic Priest
among those people to set it agoing; whereup-
on they have adopted the following resolutions,
by way of protest against the proceeding.
They do not look very prosperous for the
Right Reverend gentleman's pioject:-
Resoiuef, That we, Roman Catholics, earn
estly protest against such proceedings, and
declare to the Right Reverend Bishop that
we do not want German Roman Catholic
Priest here in New Haven.
Resoired, That we have suffered already in
our old fittherland too much from priestcraft
and kingcraft; and that we here, in our new
home, thank our Lord and God, in at least
thirty churches other than the Roman Catho-
lie, that we are free from that yoke, and that
every one Of MS can worship his God accord
ing to his best belief and conscience.

question. This is enough to weigh down all the
rhodomentade of the foreign party press III this
country about the persuasion of the foreigner !;
81 will avow at once my opinion that the ma
turalization laws of the United States require
change that, however needful they have been
for promoting population and introducing la
Dor in times past, they are too liberal now; and
that nobody in the world would be entitled to
complain in the least. if Congress shonld at
any session, limit within any bounds it might
sect mt, the creation Of citizens by adoption
The new law would soon become known; and
then no foreigner coming here for the future
would run the risk Of being cheated

Rssplced, That we, citizens of Nuxubcc
county, irrespective Of old party divisions, do
hereby approve Of and fully endorse the course
Of Mr. Adams in the United States Senate on
the subject of the naturalization Laws.
ResolueI That the great increase of foreign
population admonshes US that we should adopt
the language OF the Father of our Country ,and
.put none but Americans on guard and, there
fore. we condemn the practice Of filing our
foreign appointments with foreigners. and con-

proceeded along the street, when they made
an attempt 70 g1t into omnibus, but the dri-
Yer. seeing that they were too drunk, went on
without allowing them to enter the coach.
Soon after this another coach came along.
