When asked Ir he had anything to say in his behalf, tie answered throngh the inter. preter, as we learn from the Bulletin, that the . only witness against bim was the woman, whose character is bad—no arms were found upon him—he was drunk when he committed the assault—was ber cook, and it was not probable that he assaulted her without provocation—and concluded with the following pertinent remarks: “Now, I know that the American laws are just, and I bave nothing to complain against them ; but the courts, I think, are too favorable to women. It appears that it is only necessary for women to make complaints and the Courts believe all they say, and itis hardly worth while for a person to try to defend bimself, Nor does it make much difference what kind of women they are whe complain. A respectable and good woman is as proper a witness a8 any person can be; but such @ woman as this, who is low-lived, debased and of the worst of characters, she is not worthy of belief.’’ Saviy Trux.—The other night while passing along the strect, we heard from the lips of a) by the Court of Sessions of San Louis Obiapo county on two indictments for highway robbery, and was sentenced, on the first conviction, the State Prison for the term of nine years, and on the second, for eight. He will be tried ona charge of murder at the next term of the Dis. trict Court of Monterey county. Another serious aceident from the use of iron in tampiog, occurred in Calaveras county recently. The Chronicle says the blast went off while Mr. Holmes was in the act of tamping it with a crowbar. The bar passed through Sis hand, taking off two of his fingers, and badly cutting the band and arm, and injuring ene ef his eyes. It is thought his eye will recover. The body of aman dressed in blue jacket, gray pants, with black stripes, was found dead on the the 25th ult., on the Michigan Bar road, near Placerville. His kets were rifled and two bullet holes through his beart. The Coroner’s inquest did not reveeal bis name, and it may be unknown forever. A beaver was sn a in the Mormon slough, near Stockton, on Thuraday. It is stated that rior to the settlement of the San Joaquin valey by Weber and bis companions, trappers were regurlarly employed in that region in obtaining beaver skins for the Hudson Bay Company. A colored man, named Isaiah Isaacs, died a few days since in Weaverville, who was on board the Somers when the wutiveers were executed. He is also said to have traveled as servant to Jerome Bonapart through Greece, Italy, and a young man-—whose prospects fora fortune were Once flattering, but who is now rapidly becoming a devotee of the “flowing bowl’’—the following lines so often humorously quoted : ‘* And when I think of what I ar, And what I used to was, I finds I’ve thrown myself away, Without sufficient coz,’’ and thought them very amusing. Hislangh to portrayed to us—we thought of the gentle eyes lack of that warmth which the sunshine of his eyes could alone bestow—and thus thinking, we earnestly repeated the sentiment of the poet—*O, thou inovisitte spirit of wine, if thou} hast no name to be known by, let us call thee .

Great Horricane.—A terrific hurricane took place at Swatow, on the 2st of September, . which destroyed almost the entire shipping, . both native and foreign, and caused much loss to the Chinese. Large vessels, says the Hongkong Mail, were carried a long way inland by the huge waves; and not only were houses unroofed, but some of them had their walls blown down. Even the hurricane which visited Bom. bay in the commeneement of 1855 was inferior to this, before which tg oes . went down that . offered any resittance, Two hundred Chinese . junks were destroyed, anditis supposed that three thonsand persons lost their lives. There save one, were swept away from their anchors by a great wave 25 feet high, which carried them about two miles over a mud flat which has but two feet of water onitin ordinary times. Eleven of the vessels were total wrecks. Destrvction or a Pirates’ Nest.—A piratical town, named Sapoo, of 2,000 houses, and agout 12,000 inhabitants, situated some three miles up a narrow creek on the south branch of the river Han Swatow, was bombarded on the 16th Oct. by boats from the British ships Magicienne and Fury. The Town contuined the nest of pirates that reoently plundered a British ship of a cargo of sugar, valued at $12000, and afterwards pulled the vessel to pieces. About 1,200 houses were soon leveled with the ground. At last a truce of forty-eight hours was given, . and the leaders of the piraticel inhabitants enwere 20 foreign vessels in port, and all of them . . no reason why it should not work well over large portion of the Old World.

A fire occurred in Marysville on the night of December 27th, which nearly destroyed an unoccupied frame house on High Street, belonging to Tompkins. _ The cost of the California Indian Rerervations for the past year, was $1,173,000. Post Orvice Orpers.—It is reported by the Washington papers, that the Postmaster Gen. eral is about to submit to Congress, a plan whereby money in small amounts can be sent through the Pest-office. The plan is, for any person wishing to send money to a distance, be may go to the nearest Postmaster and pay him the amount he wishes to send, and receive an order on the Postmaster at the place he wishes to pay the same, This is the plan now in praetice in England, and it works well. It is certainly an excellent arrangement, and we see our country.

Hels said to be a bad man, and had killed several men, hence the severity of his sentence for this offense. When asked Ir he had anything to say in his behalf, tie answered throngh the inter. preter, as we learn from the Bulletin, that the . only witness against bim was the woman, whose character is bad—no arms were found upon him—he was drunk when he committed the assault—was ber cook, and it was not probable that he assaulted her without provocation—and concluded with the following pertinent remarks: “Now, I know that the American laws are just, and I bave nothing to complain against them ; but the courts, I think, are too favorable to women. It appears that it is only necessary for women to make complaints and the Courts believe all they say, and itis hardly worth while for a person to try to defend bimself, Nor does it make much difference what kind of women they are whe complain. A respectable and good woman is as proper a witness a8 any person can be; but such @ woman as this, who is low-lived, debased and of the worst of characters, she is not worthy of belief.’’ Saviy Trux.—The other night while passing along the strect, we heard from the lips of a) by the Court of Sessions of San Louis Obiapo county on two indictments for highway robbery, and was sentenced, on the first conviction, the State Prison for the term of nine years, and on the second, for eight.

Great Horricane.—A terrific hurricane took place at Swatow, on the 2st of September, . which destroyed almost the entire shipping, . both native and foreign, and caused much loss to the Chinese. Large vessels, says the Hongkong Mail, were carried a long way inland by the huge waves; and not only were houses unroofed, but some of them had their walls blown down.
