Esq, the U. S. Inspector of steam boilers for
the district of California, arrived in town
yesterday and inspected the boilers of the
following steamers: Goodman Castle, Sam

jected to hydrostatic pressure of one hun
dFed and twenty pounds to the square inch,
which entities them to carry eighty pounds
of steam. The boiler of the steamer Young
America was subjected TO pressure of one

to carry one hundred and two pounds of

SIGNS OF THE TIMEs-0ne of the signs of
the times is the publication of sermons in
the newspapers. The New York Independ.
ent, perceiving the demand for that sort of
reading, has commenced the publication of
reports of Beecher's sermons, revised bv
himself Volumes of sermons are now print
ed with profit to the publishers, which was
not the case half a dozen years ago. The
change is partly due to the religious revivals
of the last two or three years, and partly to
the change going on in the style of sermons.
The sermons preached by the popular min
listers of this day differ widely from the ser.
mons to which the preceding generation
listened. They are more free, embrace
wider range of topics and are not cast in the
traditional mould. The popular sermon of
to day would have been almost a sacrilege to
pulpit of half century ago. 1t is a great
extension of the power of the pulpit, when
the sermon that is heard by some two thou
sand hearers in New Y York or BROOKLYN. on
Sunday, is during the week read bv fftv or
hundred thousand people all over the coun.

Mexico.

Reports have been received from Wash
ington, to the effect that there is a probabil'
ity of the negotiation Of the long talked OF
treaty with the Liberal Government OF Mex
leo. Ifthe treaty is negotiated, 1T will be
cound, we venture to say, that the basis OF
such treaty differs, in some respects, iroE
what it is generally understood to be; Or II
will be found that President Buchanan has
receded somewhat from an important position
assumed by him, namely, that the transit routes
which Mexico may grant to us for our use,
shall be protected by American troops, in
case Mexico fails to afford such protection,
and also. that our Government shall be the
sole judges as to whether the necessity exists
for the sending out of her troops. 1t has
been said that President Buchanan would
continue to make this demand, as necessary to
the protection of our commercial interests in
Mexico. If so, the probabilities are that the
treaty will not be ratified, at least for the
present. The demand is one which Mexico
cannot yield without self.humiliation, and,
aside from this, there is another reason which
leads her to refuse it. The Liberal party,
recognized by us as representing the Govern
ment of Mexico, is not yet substantially fixed
in power. The prejudices of the people
against the people of the United States, are
yet strong. They look upon our acquisition
of territory with distrust, and believe, no
doubt, that we have an eye to the possession
of more Mexican territory, and ultimately to
the possession of the whole country itself.
This feeling on the part of the Mexican peo-
pie would, of itself, be sufficient to dictate
to the leaders of the Liberal party what pol
icy to pursue. That party knows, that as
soon as the demand of our Government, in
regard to sending American soldiers into
Mexico is granted, the mass of the people
will go to the assistance of the Church party
and the probabilities are the Liberalists
would be overthrow, unless backed up by
the United States. Juarez has good reasons
for refusing the McLane treaty.

FIGHT AT A CHARIvARI.-On Tuesday night,
on the occasion of the marriage of German
baker in Nevada, party which assembled
to supply the bridegroom and his "pard" with
music, got into muss. The Nevada Journal
says of the affair."
The bridegroom in his happiest mood led
his blsuhing partner out upon the sidewalk
and requested little more of the same sort,
which was granted heartily. Then inviting
the band inside, he remunerated them lber,
ally for their harmonious sounds with the
contents of the bar. One Teuton, of the
band, set his services too high, and demand
more, which was denied, and row ensued
in consequence. The musician struck the
bridegroom in the face with bottle. Bride
goom laid aside the amiable for minute OF
two by a few well directed blows leaving
an impression of quite lasting nature on
the countenance of the man with the bottle.
The war seems to have been waged with con.
siderable fury afterwards, in which a body
of Italians joined as allies The glass doors
of the saloon were stove in and various other
depredations committed

EXCLUSIVE PRIVILEGE OF SHOOTING PIGEONS.
1t seems that the State Capitol Buildings at
Sacramento are perfect rookery. The Sec
retary of State and his clerks, being fond of
sport, want the exclusive privilege of killing
the pigeons, and have applied for the same to
the Board of Supervisors of Sacramento
county and city. The Sacramento Standard
of yesterday thus notices it.:
Yesterday, the order giving the Secretary
of State and his clerks the exclusive privil-
ege of shooting firearms in the city limits,
and killing the pigeons which have taken
up their abode in the vestibule of the State
Capitol building was called up for third
reading. Mr.. Granger asked to withdraw
it and present q substitute, which was grant
en-, He said that he considered the pigeons
nuisance, and should be removed in some
way. If any other member of the Board
would suggest a better way to accomplish
their removal, he should be pleased to hear
it. If not, he would offer an amendment to
the original order; but he wished it under
stood that he did not do SO because q news
paper reporter had ridiculed or criticized
him; that would never deter him from his
duty. Supervisor Babeock thought the nu-
isance might be abated, and the pigeons
cleaned out, by washing them with a fire
engine Mr. Granger asked if the water
might not injure the ceiling of the vestibule.
Mr.. Henley thought that the shooting inside
of the yestibule would be more likely to in
jure the ceiling than by water Mr. Granger
said the nephew of the Secretary had assured
him that the pigeons could be killed with
fine mustard seed shot, which would not in
jure the ceiling. The birds were a great nu-
isance. The members of the last Legislature
had complained of them. The floor looks
like hen roost, and the capitol resembles
some old building in Panama, where the tur
key buzzards congregate. The order was
at last passed, with a proviso that the par
ties shooting the pigeons, should be held res
ponsible for any injury they may do the
building
