EXTENSIVE RoBBERY.-We learn from Capt.
Murray. that an extensive robbery occurred near
his residence. about mile below town, on We'd
nesday evening. A party of five men, as near
as could be ascertained, entered Chinese camp
and succeeded in securing about one thousand
dollars. There were ten Cinnamon in the camp,
old residents, and known to have considerable
money. They seized the Cinnamon, tied them
by their tails to the posts of their tents, and
while some Of them stood guard the others
searched the premises and secured the treasure.
There were three tents, and the Cinnamon we're
kept thus tied and guarded until all were plum
dcred. From the description given by the Chi
namen, it is thought one of the robbers is y
person who has heretofore been caught where he
had not ought to be, and his appearance in
Orovillc would be hailed with legal satisfaction.

Mr.. Watkins, Of Calaveras, chairman Of the
committee on accounts and expenditures, sub
mitted report to the Assembly on Friday last,
which gives clear exposition Of the present f.
nancial condition Of the State, and Of the man
ner in which the business Of the Treasurer's
Office has been conducted, while under the SUI
pervision of Mr.. Bates From this report it APP
pears that the total receipts into the Treasury,
from January Sd, 1856, to February 18th, 1857,
which includes the time Mr.. Bates was acting
as Treasurer, were 81, l3s, 1868 81; the cash book
kept by him shows the amount Of money paid
out by him during the same time to be S1,Ol4-
900 so, leaving balance of $l24, 27e II, which
should have been in the Treasury on the day OF
his resignation. The amount of money actually
on hand at that time was SIS, 1908 rs, which was
paid over to the present Treasurer, leaving a
deficiency, unaccounted for, Of S4S,369 90. II
we add to this the s124,000 paid to Rowe, the
$73,58O which is still due from Palmer Cook *
Co., and we have the snug little sum of S225,-
94s %, all of which has probably been lost to
the State, through the Encouragement, stupidi-
ty or rascality Of the late Treasurer. IL Is pos
sble that some of this money may be recovered,
but Of this there is no certainty. There is also
a deficiency of vouchers amounting to $500 49,
The gold dust said to have been sent to the
mint, it appears was deposited with Wells, Far
go a. Co., and upon it DR.. Bates had drawn 50,
600, while it assayed only $S,lS7.
The total amount Of bonds issued under the
various funding acts, and now outstanding, Is
So, 800; the Controllers warrants now out
standing amount to S4Os, O95 46- making the
total State Indebtedness S3,5sG, 1876 46. This is
not heavy debt for a State like California; and
provided our financial affairs are conducted
honestly and economically in future, it can be
paid without imposing burdensome taxes upon
the people.

day and Sunday, for San Francisco, en- route for
the Gadsden Purchase, intending TO join the
Crabb party. The vessel was expected to sail
yesterday; and II is said that about two hundred
intended to join the expedition. II seems to be
the general belief that these expeditionists in

their design is to revolutionze that country
Whether there is any foundation for this belief,

ARairs IN Nicaragua.

The Nicaragua steamer Sierra Nevada, arriv-
ed at San Francisco on Saturday morning,
bringing later and more reliable intelligence
from Nicaragua.
The British Charge in Nicaragua has been en-
deavoring to negotiate new treaty with the
Rivas government in Leon, but has not succeed
ed.
The important post Of Fort Serapiqui was
evacuated on the l4th ult., by the Costa Ricans
after strong resistance of three days, in favor
OF the American volunteers, and II X generally
believed that by this time they we're in possess
ion OF the entire river route, together with Fort
San Carlos and the Lake. fals.tltf
They hadsucceeded in capturing two more OF
the river steamers. Rivas is quiet. An unsuc
cessful attack was made ON it by the combined
forces of the allies ON the night of the 5th Thew
were Immediately dispersed by Gen. Hennine
sens forces, and driven back with great loss
Gen. Henningsen only lost one man. Rivas and
the country generally is perfectly healthy; sick
ness and fevers are scarcely known.
Much excitement prevails in the camp of the
allies at ST. George, owing to the withdrawal
of the troops of the north in apparent disgust
leaving Costa Rica on her own resources.
Gen Canas, second in command of the Costa
Rican forces, had been charged with an attempt
TO meet GeD. Walker in conference on board
the English steamer Esk or the ST. Mary's at
San Juan, for which he has been arrested by the
allied Generals.
The idea of routing Gen. Walker from the
country seems to have been abandoned for the
present, and his position at this time is infinite
ly better than ever before. The army is in ex-
cellent health well clothed and provisioncd, and
the best possible feeling exists, while Rivas still
remains impregnable by any force that can be
raised against it, and the surrounding country
is under the continued patrol of Gen. Walkers
troops.
Expeditions for the release of neutral Ameri-
cans confined in the Serge of Costa Rica, are
being fitted out both at San Juan and Greytown
by the commanders of the st. Marys and Sara
toga. tN .N HaB

THE BuRDELL TRAoEDY.-The grand jury of
New York have found an indictment against
Eckel and Mrs. Cunningham for the murder of
Dr. BurdelL Snodgrass has been held to bail
as witness, and the two Misses Cunningham
have been discharged. From the evidence of
the Rev. Mr., Marvine before the Probate Court
and statement of E. j. Spicer, late partner
of DR.. Burdel, it is reduced almost to a certain
ty that the Doctor and Mrs. Cunningham were
married, as claimed by the latter. Mr.. Spiccr
also states that DIR. Burdell admitted to him in
September last, that he had not lost any note
from his safe, but that he charged Mrs. Cunning
ham with stealing it in order to get her out of
of his house. The circumstan tial evidence is
still very strong, but unless some other facts
come to light it is scarcely possible for them to
be convicted of the murder.

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS, publish to-day,
to the exclusion Of much other interesting mat
ter, the inaugural address Of Mr.. Buchanan
The inaugural message of new President is
always read with deep interest by the people
as it is supposed to indicate the policy of his
administration. The address of Mr.. Buchanan
is practical, common-sensc document, and his
views upon the domestic and foreign policy Of
the government will meet the appreciation of
the great mass of the American people. His
remarks in regard to the construction of the
Pacific railroad will be peculiarly acceptable to
Californians

THE STATE DEBT.-The Legislature has not
yet made any provision for submitting the
question of paying the State debt to the people,
and we begin to fear that nothing will be done
in the matter during the present session. 1t
seems that some are in favor of allowing the
debt TO remain as IL is until Constitutional
Convention is called, that the debt may be le-
galizcd by the new Constitution. A question in
which the credit and reputation Of the State is
at stake should never be suffered to depend up
on other measures of doubtful policy. There is
now little or no opposition to paying the debt,
and the people will legalizc it, If submitted to
them at the next election. But the propriety Of
amending the Constitution meets with much OPP
position, and it is doubtful whether majority
of the people will vote for a Convention. The
two measures should be submitted, each on its
own merits, and one not be made to hinge on
the other. The debt now amounts TO about two
and half million dollars. A law providing for
its payment in the present state of the public
mind, cannot fail TO be endorsed by the popular
vote. The longer 1t is put off the more danger
there will be Of the debt being repudiatcd.

AccrDEsT.-Mr. William Brown who has been
varAing in Laird's diggings, on Lost Hill, was
seriously injured on Thursday last As no was
walking up through the ground sluice stump
which had caved in the night before, and which
was lying upon the loose earth, rolled over, and
some of the roots striking him. he was knocked
down and fastened to the ground. lie laid in
this position about fifteen minutes before being
discovered by the other workmen, and after he
was found, 1t was near an hour befor the stump
could be removed SO as to extricate him from
his perilous situation. During this time he was
nnable to move any part of his body with the ex-
ception Of his head. His hip joint was disoca-
ted, and he was otherwise severely bruised.

THE CABINET.--The work OF constructing q
Cabinet, which is one of great difficulty and an
noyance to an incoming President, has been
completed by Mr.. Buchanan in manner which
promises unity and harmony amongst its mem
bers The leading men of which it is composed
including the President himself have been long
habituated to fraternity Of sentiment in the
councils of the nation, and are all marked for
their urbanity of disposition, concilatory spirit
and wide liberal and patriotic political priuci-
pies. Representing every geographical section,
they come together as the constitutional advi-
scrs of the Chief Magistrate, participating in
common views upon all the vital questions of
constitutional power, as well as of government
tai policy. The selection of Gen. Cass, displays
a generous disposition in Mr.. Buchanan, and in
surcs TO the country wise, yet vigorous policy
in our foreign relations, in consonance fully
with the well known sentiments of the President
Mr. Cobb, is we'll fitted for the Treasury De-
partmcnt, having commanded the position Of
chairman of the committee on Ways and Means
during the chief part of his long congressional
career. He Is comparatively young and man
Of ndomtable energy and industry. Gov.
Floyd, has held every position of honor in his
own State of Virginia, and next to Mr.. Hunter
Is the most able of her statesmen. Aaron V.
Brown of Tenn, and Jacob Thompson of Miss,
are men o. more moderate ability, but are men
Of great popularity and influence in theirStates.
These from the south have all been distinguish
ed for their temperate position on all sectional
issues, and for their determined opposition to
the extreme measures proposed at different Pc
rlods, by the ultra scccssionists..
Besides the President and Gen. Cass, the north
will be represented at the council board by Ma
than Clifford of Mass and Arnold Plummer of
Penn. Mr. Clifford held the same place, that of
Attorney General, in the Cabinet of Mr.. Polk,
and carried to Mexico aud consumated the trea-
closed the Mexican war. AS a lawyer he has
perhaps no superior in all New England.
The duties of Post Master General are per-
haps more laborious than those Of any other
place in the Cabinet, but requiring no particu-
lar talent except an aptitude for general bust
ness. 1t is regarded as the least desirable place
in the Cabinet, and least in point Of dignity.
The appointment of Mr.. Plummer is doubtless
the work of MIR. Buchanan exclusively, and com
ing from his own State, his fitness for the posi-
ton must have been we'll known to the Presi-
dent Mr.. Plummer has never VIC believe been
in either branch of Congress. He was lately
one of the Canal Commissioners of his State, a
Board having charge of oil its great public
works.

Trial Of the controller.

The Senate was engaged several hours Of each
day last week, in the trial Of Controller Whit
man for alleged malfeasance in Office. he has
come up boldly and met the charges preferred
against him by the Assembly, and appears to
rely alone on the merits Of the case for acquit-
tai. In this respect bis conduct is in marked
contrast with that of the late Treasurer. The
charge that he issued the warrants to the State
Prison Jesse, without submitting them to the
board Of examiners, is admitted, 1.-THE contends
that in doing so he acted in accordance with
what he conceived to be the law. The law re-
quires the Controller to submit all demands
against the State to the board Of examiners, be-
fore drawing warrants therefor, excepting the
salaries OF officers The Controller contends
that the amount paid the lessee is in the nature
of a salary, and that 1t was his duty to draw
warrants for the same without submitting them
to the board. The charge that the Controller
refused to assist the board in examining his
books Is not denied; and no attempt has been
made to excuse him in this respect. He was not
required by any law to render such assistance,
out MS reIuSal 70 40 30 Ten0eTe0 IL hiuOsb lin-
possible for the board to make the necessary
examination.
The proofs positive before the Senate that Con-
troller's warrants were substituted for cash,
and that Hnghson, clerk in the Controllers
Office, was implicated in the fraud. We have
not noticed any evidence so far, however, inn
plicating Mr.. Whitman in these transactions,
and as an impeachment is in the nature of a
criminal prosecution, II is not likely the Senate
will hold him accountable for the criminal acts
Of this clerk, although he might be responsible
in civil suit Unless some stronger evidence
is brought ont against him, the probability Is
that be will be acquitted. The case will not
be got through with before the last Of the week.
An unsuccessful effort was made on Friday
and Saturday to bring f. A. Rowe before the
Senate as q witness. The proper process was
served, but the Sheriff made his appearance
with q certificate from physician, stating that
the witness was not able to attend. Rowe will
doubtless be compelled to testify, and his evil
dence will be looked for with great interest.
