MIssoURI.-The Legislature of Missouri
was in secret session at latest dates, and it
was supposed that secession ordinance
had been passed, though nothing was known
definitely as TO what had been done. The
Governor and members were greatly excit
ed for fear the Government troops would
march 10 Jefferson city to capture them, and
the bridges on the Usage river had been
burned in order to prevent the passage of
troops. Whatever may be the wishes Of the
State authorities, they have not the means
to do much harm. The grand encampmeut
Of the State militia, at ST. Louis, on the
9th inst, which was doubtless called for the
purpose Of taking possession of the arsenal
and other Government property, was a
complete failure. Only about fifteen hnn-
dred milltiamen attended, and they we're
taken prisoners and disarmed. ST. Louis
was comparatively quiet, but as the citizens
appear to be about equally divided, bloody
riots are liable to occur at any hour. Gen.
Harney has threatened to declare martial
law, in case the municipal authorities are
unable to preserve the peace, and be will
be as good as bis word.

CONTRBvTONs.-A late dispatch from
New York says that the total amount thus
far contributed towards sustaining the Gov
ernment is ffty millions of dollars. This
is very large amouut-belng more than
one-third the assessed valuation OF Cali!or-
MIA. The cost of maintaining Government
troops, heretofore. has been about million
dollars per annum for every thousand men.

SAN Francesca INDUSTRIAL SCooL.-Ihis
excellent institution, which is latterly better
managed and appreciated, held its second ami
versary festival ON Friday last, which was at
tended by about one hundred visitors. The ex-
ercises consisted of music, reading, recitations,
addresses by teachers and visitors, and COLA
ton. The school is situated about seven miles
from the City Hall, on the Ocean House road.
1t contains ffty-two pupils, of whom forty
eight are boys, mostly, of American parentage,
and four girls.

was drowned from the steamer Swallow, on
Tuesday night, between Fremont and Nicolaus.
1t appears that he slipped from the stairs which
lead from the upper to the lower deck, and the
guards being wet and slippery he went over
board and sank almost instantly, only his hands
being noticeable as he fell into the wake of the
steamer. A boat was lowered but his body was
not found. No one knew who he was or any
thing of the stranger who went down so sudden
ly to his death.

REPORTED INTERNATIONAL report was
brought by late Pony, to the effect that
England and France had offered to assist
the Federal Government in putting down
the rebellion in the South. The Govern
ment of the United States would not, of
course, accept the Intervention of European
powers, in matters pertaining to this coun-
try alone, even were it offered, and there is
no probability that such assistance has been
rendered. 1t Is understood that the En-
glish aud French ministers have assured our
Government that the independence of the
seeded States will not be recognized by
England aud France, unless they are first
acknowledged by the United States, and the
report probably originated from this cir
cumstaDce. The Confederate officials have
openly boasted that England and Faance
would never suffer the ports Of the Cotton
States to be blockaded, and have relied up.

ments 10 their behalf; but they will be dis
appointed 10 their expectations. of European
aid, as they have already been disappointed

PoNY NEws.-The most important intel
ligence by the last Pony is the account oi
the disturbances in ST. Louis, which is pub
lished in another column. From the ac-
counts received it appears that eighteen
persons were killed at Camp Jackson, on
the 10th inst, when Capt. Lyon took pos
session of the Government cannon and the
Missouri militia were made prisoners. Six
were killed on the afternoon of the llth-
three soldiers aud three of the mOb--and
there was a report that six Germans had
been killed late that night. As the dates
are up to the 18th we shall doubtless have
more satisfactory details in to.day's Union.
Gen. Harvey has assumed command at st.
Louis, aud will doubtless maintain order.
There was report that the South had ask

does not come from source to entitle it to
credence. The Government is still deter
mined on the policy of recapturing the pub
lie property, and all important points are
being strengthened by U. S. troops. Bat
ties are constantly expected at Harper's
Ferry, Richmond, and several other places
