FRIDAY MORNING, DECE MBER 23. tion of Mr. Maloney to the Senate in the place of Samuel Brannan resigned, is an city favor the election of United States. Senator at the next session of the Legis-, lature, and that they prefer Mr. Broderick . to any other 4spirant. Mr. Mahoney . stated in the convention that nominated . him that he was in favor of both these . propositions, Mr. Farwell, his. whig op-. on the contrary expressed himself, . i ponent, in acommunicaticn tn the Evening Nev,s, opposed to the election this winter, Mahoney received a majority of nearly 4000, while Mr. Farwell’s vote was short of 2000 all told. We believe this communieation of Mr. Farwell drew off from him considerable Whig strength, of those no way open for the election of a whig, and who prefer Mr. Broderiek to any other democrat, but who think his chances dexend in considerable measure on. the election taking place this year. Mr. F ar-. well is a gentleman of excellent character, . but is quite young, and had hardly the prestige of leadership necessary for success. This election will act with force upon’ the Legislature, and is probably the most fortunate thing for Mr. Broderick that could have happened. We consider his. chances growing better. 1 } bay A Rough & Ready correspondent of the Tclegraph says in reference to the School fund :— “From the movements at Nevade, it would seem that the citizens of that place are about to obtain for themselves the use of all the school fund due this county fromthe State. Imay be mistaken in my understanding of the matter ; but no less should the people of Grass Valle and Rough & Ready attend tg their business, . and by so doing secure their share. We have, children enough, within a reasonable distance, . to employ one teacher the year round, who are! now running at large, and progressing rapidly . in street and bar-room education, according to . California style, celerity and celebrity. Give: us a stirion the subject, anyhow. Our people . may be “Rough” enough, but I know they . are always “ Ready.” “. We will inform all parties that the census of, the children of Nevada township was taken . and the returns forwarded according to law.——. ; ; } No claim has been made, or can be made, for . . of the Charleston Courier learns through a friend just arrived from Vienna that Muns. .

The document commences with a preamble denouncing severely the fillibusters, and then declares : 1. That all strangers who invade this department without the proper permission of the authorities, and form armed bands, will be considered and treated as pirates. 2.-That ail Captains of Vessels that bring, armed invaders, all owners of such vessels who. authorize such ‘use of their vessels, all Who maintain friendly relations with the invaders, all who in any way protect, aid, and serve the Dow Banzesy Files x Beck piratieal expedition, all who conceal or attempt vAILR ES IN N ND. . to save any individual of the invaders, all-who willingly act as guides, and all who give them petition between the Northwestern and . information, will be treated as pirates. the Great Western Bailway companies has risen to such a pitch that in one case, where the lines of the two great companies run between the same towns, the traveler may ride a distance of 60 miles Mr. . for sixpence. In another case, the fare for running ninety miles is 13s. 6d. On the 12th of October four waggons arrived at the Waterloo road, terminus of the London and Southampton railway, each containing two tons’ weight of the current coin of Englond, the whole weighing eight tons, The packages containing the money were placed on a_ speeial train and conveyed to Southampton, from which . port the same is to be shipped to Ceylon. One of the most destructive gales that has been experienced at St. Petersburg, for a long period, oecurred on the 2d Oct. last. A letter states that the lower part of the city was completely inundated, which destroyed a large amount of property, and even left quite large vessels high and dry in the streets of the city. Fai.urrs at Hampure.—The steamship I’ranklin brought intelligence of two failures at Hamburg, owing to the continued fall in stocks and shares, in which they are largely interested. Being old established houses, their failure was much regretted, and had produced an unfavorable impression on Hamburg and: Berlin. Tye general trade of the manufacturing districts throughout England remains remarkably healthy, and not only are there no anncuncements of mercantile failures, but there is a total absence of uneeasiness regarding the probability of their occurrence. Enc isu Strixes.—The long a wages strikes had resulted in a fearful riot at Wigan. The colliers were brought in contact with the military, blood was shed. in the streets, and the town literally sacked by the infuriated multitude. . The Belgian Royal family are now ona visit to cousin Victoria, in England. The royal party consists of the King of the 3. That all who withdraw from the towns without permission.of the authorities, to avoid taking up arms, and all who are remiss inthe fulfillment of their duties to their country, will be considered as “ suspect,” and will be tried by court martial, the least punishment being enrolment in the standing army.

A few words passed between them, when Mr. Ward pulled out a pistol and shot Mr. B. down. The ball benefitted his left breast, over the heart, and he fell to the floor, exclaiming in his agony, “J am killed-oh, my poor wife and child !” Tur Tarrr.—A Washington dispatch says it is understood that Secretary Guthrie favors a reduction of duty on iron of all kinds to twentyfive per cent. ad valorem ; also, that he will recommend that salt, dyestuffs, mahogany and other furniture woods, raw silks, crude drugs and fruits, be put on the free list. bSs~ An affray occurred at. Clarkesville, (Va.) between George B. Ellicott and Kdward Gillespie, in which the latter was killed and the former was mortally wounded. Both held positions of respectability in the community. yee.

Justice Rolfe, and in default of $500 bonds, to bear the necessary expenses accompanying it. The Dictator, thereupon, deprived them of their offices, saying, if they were so poor tbat they could not accept the honor, they were also too poor to maintain their posts of Supreme Judges with dignity. A pronunciamento had been issued in Guadalupe making Santa Anna, Dictator for life, with the title of Captain General, and the right to appoint his suceessor. Several other states had followed the example, and Santa Anna had been slavored with the most fulsome flattery in the public prints. Banishment and summary executions were numerous, among the yictims was Don Luis de La Rosa, formerly Minister at Washington, who was shot without even the form of a trial. It is rumored that Mr. Gadsden, our Minister, is making terms with the Mexican Government for the purchase of Chihuahua and Sonora, and is likely to succeed in his desire. Such an event would be of mueh benefit to both countries. The Mexican papers are filled with accounts of Indian depredatiens on their northern frontier ; but apart from decrees and circulars, the government seems to be perfectly indifferent on the subject. &oS> The total amount of California gold deposited at the Philadelphia mint and its branches since the first discovery up to November Ist., is two hundred and four millions of dollars.

We believe this communieation of Mr. Farwell drew off from him considerable Whig strength, of those no way open for the election of a whig, and who prefer Mr. Broderiek to any other democrat, but who think his chances dexend in considerable measure on. the election taking place this year. Mr. F ar-. well is a gentleman of excellent character, . but is quite young, and had hardly the prestige of leadership necessary for success. This election will act with force upon’ the Legislature, and is probably the most fortunate thing for Mr. Broderick that could have happened. We consider his. chances growing better. 1 } bay A Rough & Ready correspondent of the Tclegraph says in reference to the School fund :— “From the movements at Nevade, it would seem that the citizens of that place are about to obtain for themselves the use of all the school fund due this county fromthe State.

A letter states that the lower part of the city was completely inundated, which destroyed a large amount of property, and even left quite large vessels high and dry in the streets of the city. Fai.urrs at Hampure.—The steamship I’ranklin brought intelligence of two failures at Hamburg, owing to the continued fall in stocks and shares, in which they are largely interested. Being old established houses, their failure was much regretted, and had produced an unfavorable impression on Hamburg and: Berlin. Tye general trade of the manufacturing districts throughout England remains remarkably healthy, and not only are there no anncuncements of mercantile failures, but there is a total absence of uneeasiness regarding the probability of their occurrence. Enc isu Strixes.—The long a wages strikes had resulted in a fearful riot at Wigan.

The Dictator, thereupon, deprived them of their offices, saying, if they were so poor tbat they could not accept the honor, they were also too poor to maintain their posts of Supreme Judges with dignity. A pronunciamento had been issued in Guadalupe making Santa Anna, Dictator for life, with the title of Captain General, and the right to appoint his suceessor. Several other states had followed the example, and Santa Anna had been slavored with the most fulsome flattery in the public prints. Banishment and summary executions were numerous, among the yictims was Don Luis de La Rosa, formerly Minister at Washington, who was shot without even the form of a trial. It is rumored that Mr. Gadsden, our Minister, is making terms with the Mexican Government for the purchase of Chihuahua and Sonora, and is likely to succeed in his desire. Such an event would be of mueh benefit to both countries. The Mexican papers are filled with accounts of Indian depredatiens on their northern frontier ; but apart from decrees and circulars, the government seems to be perfectly indifferent on the subject. &oS> The total amount of California gold deposited at the Philadelphia mint and its branches since the first discovery up to November Ist., is two hundred and four millions of dollars.
