The estimated cost is moderate; and as the + water-enforced by its elevated source + and full head will render it an efficicnt } agent in event of fire, we hope our citi1 zens will give to the plan a careful con‘_ sideration and prompt support. No city ‘ in the world has better advantages for ! the ivtroduction of water, and no one , needs it more. The revenue from the ; water that will be taken in the houses . will pay a fine per centage on the invest; ment. More next week. Discovery or Gotp.— We learn from a gentleman from Little York, that a deposit of gold bearing gravelly eement, of a bluish cast, has been discovered in the plaza in that town. The lead is supposed to connect with Phelps’ diggings, varics from 4 to 12 feet in depth, and is quite rich. The miners were working up the plaza, whivh is no inconvenience to such a place as Little York, where teams do not enter, and a lead of gofd is of more consequence than business thoroughfares. i Tue “AcT FOR THE BETTER PUPLICA; TION oF Orricrat Notices” was amended , inthe Senate so as to strike out the ; clause that required publication in the ‘’ Democratic papers of San Francisco, Sac‘ ramento and Stockton of official notices ‘of nearly every kind and requires all ’ notices to be published in one paper in ‘ -each coanty, which is named. for that county. The Sonora Herald is added to the list for Tuolumne, which we are glad to see . as evidence that the Senate is above the petty prejudices that have been excited against the Herald, which we esteem one , of the best interior papers in the State in point of talent and character. The Nevada Journal is designated as the medium” for Nevada county. From advices from the capital we believe we are indebted to Phi!. Moore for that amount of this Legislative donation that was not the result of necessity, so we own } up to the services of our quondam adver' gary. Asamended the law is less like a farce than it was before, though where ) two or more papers are printed in a county, we see no good reason why cit. igens may not choose their own advertising medium. The law takes effect thirty days after pasenge. It may seem unnecessary for us to say . . we reject all inferences that may be . . drawn as to our aim for or complicity in . the passage of this act, or that our sheet . is any less opposed in principle, or will be in action, to the miserable legislation ' of the present session, and to the waste' ful extravagance of our state adminis' tration, We denounced this bill immediately on receiving a copy of it, and ’ though the amendments of the Senate have neutralized many of the worse features of the bill, yet we deem it an unwise law. Our appointment under it is F the result of sheer necessity; for we ; have been as direct and open in our opa . position to those acts of the present Le. » gislature that we deemed wrong, as any paper in the state. But in our opinion the democratic party in the Legislature are net more responsible for most of the iniquities of the present session, except }\ . eo far as numerical force makes them s0, , than most of that fag end of the whig parTue Bat at the United States hetel on the 2d was not a bit damped by the rain. The exterprising getters up of the festival procured carriages 1. ¢. stages, and transported the dameels to the hall, so that a full attendance was secured in spite of the lowering heavens. The party was gay and exhilerating, and everything passed ag well as the most sanguine had hoped. The supper was first rate. The company may well wish for the reeurrence of many such seasons. Articies on Cuina.—The second of this admirable series we shall publish in our next. . Kipp & Wat have reopened the store on Broad and Pine streets, recently occupied by Hirst, Gray & Wall, and filled it with a heavy steck of Miners’ and Hotel supplies. These gentlemen are well-known for their business tact, and will hold and increase the custom attached to this very popular stand.— Their fino store indicates the prosperity of our city. Coxcerts.—Mrs. Waller gave two concerts in this city the past week, which were enthusiastically received.— Her performances have been a general theme of conversation, and all concur in ascribing to her extraordinary vocal powers, exquisitely cultivated. Her simple and beautiful melodies, contrasting with the incomprebensibly refined and tenuitously drawn-out strains of the star that rose for a night on the, horizon of our simplicity, have left a pleasing impression of the value of our home talent. We learn that our gond neighbors of Grass Valley will hear Mrs. Waller on Saturday night next, friend “Pike,” and we recommend a full house to compliment indigenous talent, and to enjoy her ballads. Tur Tueatre is now undergoing & thorough re-fitting and embellishing for the use of Tuthill & Anderson’s company, who open it next week, on Wednesday evening. This company will bo composed of some of the finest talent in the State. ty that managed to get into that body. We are verily disheartened from hoping for better things in our state affairs till pretended whig leaders take higher ground, or are surpassed in that respect by their opponents. The scramble seems ' to be for spoils and office, and both parties are full of selfish men who make . politics a trade, and official station the means of peculation. Accordingly our stute is heavily in debt, her resources swallowed up to pay interest and sala~ ries, dur judiciary in disgrace, and we sapidly verging to ruin as a commop_, wealth. What measure has the present Legislature passed to reduce our expenditures or better our credit? Not one! They adjourn on the 12th. What good has their half year session accomplish’ ed? Whet democrat has brought for_ ward a salutary measure to relieve the . State, to justify the principles of his BD) party, and merit its ascendancy? Not ‘one! What whig has done as much to > ghow the superiority of his principles to _ those of the dominant party? Not one! The Legislature asa body have trifled away the time of the people, censumed the public money, and instead of raising its credit, have added to its burdens by thousands of dollars. We differ with the Union in esteoming that this Legislature have performed eyen tythe of its duties, The fewer such Legislatures we have, the better for California. A German Batt will take place, at the New Bakery on Commercial street, on the 9th inst. Fine.—On Monday night last, about 11 o'clock, a fire broke out in the Rassett House, San Francisco, which, and six other buildings were speedily consumed. The Rassett was a large, wellfurnished hotel, and filled with boarders. Several persons, among them two ladies, were lost. Several ladies escaped in their night clothes, some by jumping from the upper story windows. A The loss is aLout $150,000. ee T. J, Heniey is appointed Postmaster at San Francisco. We hope he will reform the gross abuses at that office towards the interior. A letter was sent by mistake from the Neyada office for Australia, in an unpaid package, in January last. The past week it was returned for the inland postage, 3 cents, to be prepaid—haying laid dead in that office four months. At the Sacramento office the interior mails are left much at chance, and we ate informed on what we believe credible authority, that the Nevada bags were recently allowed to lay two days on the levee.

Nature seemed to have put on her summer clothes prematurely ; the sweet flowers were chilled almost of their very life by the cold winds, and the grain and seeds committed to the warm earth, alittle while ago, by the industrious husbandman, were threatened with blight from that very heaven to which his earnest aspirations had ascended for succor. Our encomiums en the charms of a California climate we were almost ready to _recal, and our ny tog qualifications of Italy, and such like, were fairly burlesqued. But “all's well that entls well.” Spring is verily with us again, and seems to cherish the happy offspring of her kingdom with renewed tenderness. She decks the flowers with richer hues, drives the clonds from the fair heavens, teaches the bewildered Robin to open his little throat to the voice of glad music once more, and the naked woodlands are changed to forests of embowered For the Journal.

Having just returned from a visit to Cherokee and vicinity, and believing . that a slight description of that vicinity . would not be uninteresting to your readers, I beg leave to trouble you. Crossing the South Fork of the Yuba, and striking the Middle Yuba ridge, we came upon some of the most beautiful scenery in Northern California. Far as the eye could reach, were the bold bills of the Sierra Nevada range now breaking offin abrupt bluffs—then towering towards the clear blue sky, with their lofty summits covered with the winter's snow. On our right were beautiful groves of oak and pine, whilst mother earth was covered with fresh springing gree and April flowers. Far down could be seen the swift-rolling Yuba, slong whose banks and bars many a fortune has been made and ‘lost.

We take from the State Journal the following account of the bold robbery of Adams & Co.'s Express at Mormon Island, on the 29th ult : . “At about nine o'clock, Mr Nichols, the agent at that point, closed his business, depositing all the valuables in the safe, witch he locked and retired to his sleeping apartment in the rear of the office, having the keys of the safe in his ket. He left the office in charge of essrs Riley and Hartham, who sleep in the main office, near the safe. A few moments after Mr Nichols’ retiring, three men entered and approached the office, as if on business. essrs R. and H. responded to their call, and on gaining their feet two pistols and knives were presented to them by twoof the party, and the same time saying ‘Joaag is not dead ; say not @ word, or you ie ; we want your money: we know ‘ou’ve got it, and we're bound to have it.’ The third one in the party then prosewtee to tie the hands and feet of and H, Hye pacgnae seeeans evidently prepared for the purpose, an stopped choir Gaesh by cramming handkerchiefs into their mouths, all the time asking for the keys ofthe sate. They eeded id ascot to examine the raws and books about the office, then had a consultation—then searched their victims, taking from them all the loose change in their pockets, their watches and pocket knives, at the same time, threat-ening Riley with instant death if sg did not produce the keys of the safe. Riley managed to put thom off for about two hours with various excuses ang protestations, until their patience was exhausted, when they had another consultation and concluded to cut his throat if he did not direct them to the apartment of Mr Nichols—all the while menacitig him with drawn knives about his ueck occasionally pricking him and telling hith to close his eyes as his time had e. Finding all attempts failures, they gave him one minute to choose between death or assisting to procure the keys. Atlast Mr Riley consented to lead them to Mr Nichols’ apartment. He was taken out at the front door of the office, where he found four men eonnected with the party who acted as seatinels ; they joined the other three and went to Mr Nichols’ sleeping apartment —removing the gag from Mr Riley's mouth and telling him on peril of his life (the knives still at his throat anda cocked pistol at his head) to call Mr Nichols. This ruse brought Mr Nichols to the door, when he was immediately secured—his hands and feet tied, and carried by the party to the office and made to open the safe. Tho robbers then commenced filling their pockets with the coin ; that being done one of them produceda bag and took the remainder, together with the ld dust and other valuables—at Mr ichols’ request leaving the valuable papers untouched. hey then held a consultation in full eer pr 2 their three prisoners and wero evidently in favor of dispatching them at once, Dut their leader disuaded them from itand they decamped, leaving striet injunctions for the men confined not to give any alarm, or any account of the affair; that ifthey did they would be murdered, for the band they were connected with was large, and constantly about, ready tokill them tho moment they undertook to put people on their track. Mr Niehols’ hands had been partially untied to enable hint to untock the safe. As soon as the party retired, he succeeded in extricating himself and compan ions, rushed imto the street, sounded 4 gong and started the people in pursuit. The party were tracked to within 10 miles of this city, when the track was lost. While om the road in pursuit they } picked up one of the pisto's belonging te the robbers. Seven men (five Americans and two Mexicans) were engaged in the affuir. They went to work very coolly— the whole operation taking over three hours. While in the office one of the party amused himself nearly al} the time reading a newspaper, and the oth ers smoked some cigirs found there a the while cursing because they were of . inferior quality. They eonversed freely with one another in English and Spanish—snid they had had their eyes upon this office for a long time—that a portion of their band were at Salmon Falls the same evening, robbing a safe, and} would return to assist them—thnt they . were bound to€lean out toth places if they had to kill all who opposed them — that they had men enough to do it, and were bound to do it. Messrs Adams & Co, have offered $2000 tor the arrest and conviction of the robbers and 25 per cent on the amount of mon:y recovered. The money being of but secondary importance to them, or the community, compared with the punishment deserved by such audacious villains.” We learn fiom the Union that one of the robbers has been caught and is now in the prison brig.

The estimated cost is moderate; and as the + water-enforced by its elevated source + and full head will render it an efficicnt } agent in event of fire, we hope our citi1 zens will give to the plan a careful con‘_ sideration and prompt support.

Discovery or Gotp.— We learn from a gentleman from Little York, that a deposit of gold bearing gravelly eement, of a bluish cast, has been discovered in the plaza in that town. The lead is supposed to connect with Phelps’ diggings, varics from 4 to 12 feet in depth, and is quite rich. The miners were working up the plaza, whivh is no inconvenience to such a place as Little York, where teams do not enter, and a lead of gofd is of more consequence than business thoroughfares. i Tue “AcT FOR THE BETTER PUPLICA; TION oF Orricrat Notices” was amended , inthe Senate so as to strike out the ; clause that required publication in the ‘’ Democratic papers of San Francisco, Sac‘ ramento and Stockton of official notices ‘of nearly every kind and requires all ’ notices to be published in one paper in ‘ -each coanty, which is named. for that county. The Sonora Herald is added to the list for Tuolumne, which we are glad to see . as evidence that the Senate is above the petty prejudices that have been excited against the Herald, which we esteem one , of the best interior papers in the State in point of talent and character. The Nevada Journal is designated as the medium” for Nevada county. From advices from the capital we believe we are indebted to Phi!. Moore for that amount of this Legislative donation that was not the result of necessity, so we own } up to the services of our quondam adver' gary. Asamended the law is less like a farce than it was before, though where ) two or more papers are printed in a county, we see no good reason why cit. igens may not choose their own advertising medium. The law takes effect thirty days after pasenge. It may seem unnecessary for us to say . . we reject all inferences that may be . . drawn as to our aim for or complicity in . the passage of this act, or that our sheet . is any less opposed in principle, or will be in action, to the miserable legislation ' of the present session, and to the waste' ful extravagance of our state adminis' tration, We denounced this bill immediately on receiving a copy of it, and ’ though the amendments of the Senate have neutralized many of the worse features of the bill, yet we deem it an unwise law. Our appointment under it is F the result of sheer necessity; for we ; have been as direct and open in our opa . position to those acts of the present Le. » gislature that we deemed wrong, as any paper in the state. But in our opinion the democratic party in the Legislature are net more responsible for most of the iniquities of the present session, except }\ . eo far as numerical force makes them s0, , than most of that fag end of the whig parTue Bat at the United States hetel on the 2d was not a bit damped by the rain. The exterprising getters up of the festival procured carriages 1. ¢. stages, and transported the dameels to the hall, so that a full attendance was secured in spite of the lowering heavens. The party was gay and exhilerating, and everything passed ag well as the most sanguine had hoped. The supper was first rate. The company may well wish for the reeurrence of many such seasons. Articies on Cuina.—The second of this admirable series we shall publish in our next. . Kipp & Wat have reopened the store on Broad and Pine streets, recently occupied by Hirst, Gray & Wall, and filled it with a heavy steck of Miners’ and Hotel supplies. These gentlemen are well-known for their business tact, and will hold and increase the custom attached to this very popular stand.— Their fino store indicates the prosperity of our city. Coxcerts.—Mrs. Waller gave two concerts in this city the past week, which were enthusiastically received.— Her performances have been a general theme of conversation, and all concur in ascribing to her extraordinary vocal powers, exquisitely cultivated. Her simple and beautiful melodies, contrasting with the incomprebensibly refined and tenuitously drawn-out strains of the star that rose for a night on the, horizon of our simplicity, have left a pleasing impression of the value of our home talent. We learn that our gond neighbors of Grass Valley will hear Mrs. Waller on Saturday night next, friend “Pike,” and we recommend a full house to compliment indigenous talent, and to enjoy her ballads. Tur Tueatre is now undergoing & thorough re-fitting and embellishing for the use of Tuthill & Anderson’s company, who open it next week, on Wednesday evening. This company will bo composed of some of the finest talent in the State. ty that managed to get into that body. We are verily disheartened from hoping for better things in our state affairs till pretended whig leaders take higher ground, or are surpassed in that respect by their opponents. The scramble seems ' to be for spoils and office, and both parties are full of selfish men who make . politics a trade, and official station the means of peculation. Accordingly our stute is heavily in debt, her resources swallowed up to pay interest and sala~ ries, dur judiciary in disgrace, and we sapidly verging to ruin as a commop_, wealth. What measure has the present Legislature passed to reduce our expenditures or better our credit? Not one! They adjourn on the 12th. What good has their half year session accomplish’ ed? Whet democrat has brought for_ ward a salutary measure to relieve the . State, to justify the principles of his BD) party, and merit its ascendancy? Not ‘one! What whig has done as much to > ghow the superiority of his principles to _ those of the dominant party? Not one! The Legislature asa body have trifled away the time of the people, censumed the public money, and instead of raising its credit, have added to its burdens by thousands of dollars. We differ with the Union in esteoming that this Legislature have performed eyen tythe of its duties, The fewer such Legislatures we have, the better for California. A German Batt will take place, at the New Bakery on Commercial street, on the 9th inst. Fine.—On Monday night last, about 11 o'clock, a fire broke out in the Rassett House, San Francisco, which, and six other buildings were speedily consumed.

Several ladies escaped in their night clothes, some by jumping from the upper story windows. A The loss is aLout $150,000. ee T. J, Heniey is appointed Postmaster at San Francisco. We hope he will reform the gross abuses at that office towards the interior. A letter was sent by mistake from the Neyada office for Australia, in an unpaid package, in January last. The past week it was returned for the inland postage, 3 cents, to be prepaid—haying laid dead in that office four months. At the Sacramento office the interior mails are left much at chance, and we ate informed on what we believe credible authority, that the Nevada bags were recently allowed to lay two days on the levee.

Nature seemed to have put on her summer clothes prematurely ; the sweet flowers were chilled almost of their very life by the cold winds, and the grain and seeds committed to the warm earth, alittle while ago, by the industrious husbandman, were threatened with blight from that very heaven to which his earnest aspirations had ascended for succor. Our encomiums en the charms of a California climate we were almost ready to _recal, and our ny tog qualifications of Italy, and such like, were fairly burlesqued. But “all's well that entls well.” Spring is verily with us again, and seems to cherish the happy offspring of her kingdom with renewed tenderness.

Crossing the South Fork of the Yuba, and striking the Middle Yuba ridge, we came upon some of the most beautiful scenery in Northern California. Far as the eye could reach, were the bold bills of the Sierra Nevada range now breaking offin abrupt bluffs—then towering towards the clear blue sky, with their lofty summits covered with the winter's snow. On our right were beautiful groves of oak and pine, whilst mother earth was covered with fresh springing gree and April flowers.

We take from the State Journal the following account of the bold robbery of Adams & Co.'s Express at Mormon Island, on the 29th ult : . “At about nine o'clock, Mr Nichols, the agent at that point, closed his business, depositing all the valuables in the safe, witch he locked and retired to his sleeping apartment in the rear of the office, having the keys of the safe in his ket. He left the office in charge of essrs Riley and Hartham, who sleep in the main office, near the safe. A few moments after Mr Nichols’ retiring, three men entered and approached the office, as if on business. essrs R. and H. responded to their call, and on gaining their feet two pistols and knives were presented to them by twoof the party, and the same time saying ‘Joaag is not dead ; say not @ word, or you ie ; we want your money: we know ‘ou’ve got it, and we're bound to have it.’ The third one in the party then prosewtee to tie the hands and feet of and H, Hye pacgnae seeeans evidently prepared for the purpose, an stopped choir Gaesh by cramming handkerchiefs into their mouths, all the time asking for the keys ofthe sate. They eeded id ascot to examine the raws and books about the office, then had a consultation—then searched their victims, taking from them all the loose change in their pockets, their watches and pocket knives, at the same time, threat-ening Riley with instant death if sg did not produce the keys of the safe. Riley managed to put thom off for about two hours with various excuses ang protestations, until their patience was exhausted, when they had another consultation and concluded to cut his throat if he did not direct them to the apartment of Mr Nichols—all the while menacitig him with drawn knives about his ueck occasionally pricking him and telling hith to close his eyes as his time had e. Finding all attempts failures, they gave him one minute to choose between death or assisting to procure the keys. Atlast Mr Riley consented to lead them to Mr Nichols’ apartment. He was taken out at the front door of the office, where he found four men eonnected with the party who acted as seatinels ; they joined the other three and went to Mr Nichols’ sleeping apartment —removing the gag from Mr Riley's mouth and telling him on peril of his life (the knives still at his throat anda cocked pistol at his head) to call Mr Nichols. This ruse brought Mr Nichols to the door, when he was immediately secured—his hands and feet tied, and carried by the party to the office and made to open the safe. Tho robbers then commenced filling their pockets with the coin ; that being done one of them produceda bag and took the remainder, together with the ld dust and other valuables—at Mr ichols’ request leaving the valuable papers untouched. hey then held a consultation in full eer pr 2 their three prisoners and wero evidently in favor of dispatching them at once, Dut their leader disuaded them from itand they decamped, leaving striet injunctions for the men confined not to give any alarm, or any account of the affair; that ifthey did they would be murdered, for the band they were connected with was large, and constantly about, ready tokill them tho moment they undertook to put people on their track. Mr Niehols’ hands had been partially untied to enable hint to untock the safe. As soon as the party retired, he succeeded in extricating himself and compan ions, rushed imto the street, sounded 4 gong and started the people in pursuit. The party were tracked to within 10 miles of this city, when the track was lost. While om the road in pursuit they } picked up one of the pisto's belonging te the robbers. Seven men (five Americans and two Mexicans) were engaged in the affuir. They went to work very coolly— the whole operation taking over three hours. While in the office one of the party amused himself nearly al} the time reading a newspaper, and the oth ers smoked some cigirs found there a the while cursing because they were of . inferior quality. They eonversed freely with one another in English and Spanish—snid they had had their eyes upon this office for a long time—that a portion of their band were at Salmon Falls the same evening, robbing a safe, and} would return to assist them—thnt they . were bound to€lean out toth places if they had to kill all who opposed them — that they had men enough to do it, and were bound to do it. Messrs Adams & Co, have offered $2000 tor the arrest and conviction of the robbers and 25 per cent on the amount of mon:y recovered. The money being of but secondary importance to them, or the community, compared with the punishment deserved by such audacious villains.” We learn fiom the Union that one of the robbers has been caught and is now in the prison brig.
