BY the Central Overland Express, known as the
Pony Express, we have California dates to the Sd
inst, and from Carson Valley to the 4th inst. The
express came through to st. Joseph, Mo-, in ten
days, proving an entire success. The q. s. steamer
Powhstan arrived at San Francisco on the 9th of
March from Japan with the japanese Embassy on
board. Including officers, interpreters and subor-
diDates, there are seventy-two persons. They were
handsomely received at Honolulu, where they
stopped on the way to San Francisco. The City of
San Francisco appropriated $50, 900 for their enter
taiDment while remaining there. They purpose
spending about month on the Atlantic side. The
U. s. steamer Roanoke was to take them on board
at Aspinwan, and convey them to Washington.
They are now, probably, on board that vessel The
State Capital appears to have been permanently
located at Sacramento, and 100000 have been
appropriated for the commencement Of Capitol,
which is to cost $500 900. The emigration to the
Wasboe mines was increasing. From British Co.
lumbia we learn that San Juan was in the joint
occupancy of the American and British troops.
The news from Oregon and Washington was unim-
portaRt. The dates from Carson Valley were down
to April 4, and represent the excitement in regard
to the silver and gold mines in that section as
undated. Emigration was pouring in. Ground
was changing hands at from 800 to $500 per foot
Flour was selling at $40 per 100 ID. AT San Fran
cisco all kinds of business was much depressed.

ERROR IN THE STATUTES OF l86O.-H. }.
Lsba,t calls the attention of the San Fran
cisco Herald to an error in these statutes, as
follows:
In examining the printed law of 1860, l
perceive a typographical error Of serious
consequence to the legal profession. On
page so3 the amendment to the Practice
Act is made to read: "Section 246. There
shall be no action for the recovery of any
debt or the enforcement OF any right Sc
cured by mortgage or lien upon real es-
tate" ETC., and the marginal note is: mo
action lie for the recovery of debt secured
by mortgage" The law as passed, should
read: There shall be but one action for the
recovery of any debt or the enforcement OF
any right secured by mortgage or lien up
on real estate" etc.

he coulden't hold on to a critter, or you or
