A cnrrcsrcrcect of the Jouinnl ni Ucin-
merce after detailinp -several cases or Lynch-
ing in California writes as follows:
Shocking however ns these cases are both
ate outdone by the extra judicial muidcr of
a girl at Downievillc far up in the moun-
tains of Yuba county.
She was a Mexican senorila with all tho
passions and frailties which attach themselves
to the race. One day she stabbed n man so
that he died in a short time. Public opin-
ion varies as to the enormity of this crime.
Some assert that it was a wanton and treach-
erous attack; others consider it to have been
nn ordinary murder under circumstances of
insufficient but considerable provocation;
while many affirm that the blow was struck in
defence of her person against n drunken as
tault. The better opinion is as far as I can !

and is connected with the opposite bank by a
long bridge. The cord was thrown over a
cross-beam in the middle of this bridge and
thither the infuriated multitude hurrird their
rail victim. Her bearing was haughty and
composed in the highest degree. She wns a
beautiful girl but neither her beauty nor un-
usual roundness of form excited the slight-
est compassion in the majority
At this point of the proceeding a young
lawyer mounted the bridge railing and de-
nounced the whole affair in words of more
bitter justice than discretion He was not
suffered to speak long. A dozen hands pull
ed him down and as many feet weie as vigo-
rously applied to him along the whole lergth
of tho bridge. When upon the opposite bank
he was forbidden to enter Downicullr again
under penally ol being tarred and feathered.
Even the perpetrators of this outrage
should have been shamed into common hit
manity by the next appeal. A physician well
"knovrn in the place stated upon hN profess
ional reputation and most sacred honor that
the girl was icic:ifc and demanded for hei
the reprieve which was always gi anted by the
merciful common law of Englmidj even in
the darkest ages and most barbarous periods.
"But no! Mercy to a murderess! Time to
gtvo birth to another of the viper's blood!
They hooted at the idea! The physician was
ordered to leave town within three days for
having dared to disturb the majesty of the
people arisen to nsseit justice.
Meanwhile the girl had been looking on
"with tho utmost nonchalance. At the failure
of this last appeal a scornful smile distorted
her lip and she at once began to perforin the
last office for hcrsplf. The mania was rcmov
ed from her head and given to her paramour
with a watch purse nnd ornaments. Her
black hair fell in masses over her shoulders
but she calmly grasped hn noose dangling
near by nnd passing it sound her neck con
cealed the hideous knot beneath the thick full
of he.r hair. She made hul one request
that her hands might be left untied und free
to give the signal. Strange to siy they did
grant her one privilege but one which in
cases where the nerves were not innde of
steel would have been the most injudicious
of all.
She then drew a bunch of cigarilas from
jier bosom and distributed them among the
bystanders reserving one fir herself. This
she lighted and half smoked then drew it
from her Iip with "1 would do it again the
maldiio !" -She did not finish the sent
ence but dropped the cigarita. This was
the signal and her light form shot rftnidly up
in the air hardly struggling so powerful was
the -vIII that kept her free arms stiffly press-
ed against her sides. There she hung over

prisoners who were captured by the Cuban
authorities and executed for their participa-

THE RAIL ROAD CONVENTION.
Tho ereat Mass Rail Road Convention assembled
in this city nn Monday last according to appoint-
ment and adjourned on Wednesday. A full jour-
nal of its proceedings may be found in out paper of
to-day.
During the entire sitting of the Convention har-
mony the best feeling and great enthusiasm in the
cause of Internal Improvement prevailed.
It will be seen that ilie Convention agreed upon
ilm rainlitishmpnt of a great Central and Trunk-
Rail Road from Memphis via I.Ulle Rock to Ful-
ton in Hempstead county on Red River and
thence to the Texas boundary vtilh brandies di-
verging from the central road through the cardinal
divisions of the Stale. The voice of tho Conven-
tion was unanimous in this result and it will no
doubt inert the approbation of the people of the
State gcncially. The Central Rail Road will con-
nect at Memphis with the great system of Kail
Ilnad of the Lnioti win unrig Arkansas intuitu

sissippi. and pointed out lurcibly and eloquently
their reasons for so doing. Tney knew that here
was to be the seat of enterprise power and wealth.
He spoke at large of the advantages of rail roads
and showed by the most full and conclusive statis-
tical illustrations that they had been of last ad-
vantage whercu-r made in enhancing the wealth
and prosperity of the country
e instituted a comparison between rail loads
and oilier modes of convevance tiansportation &c.
as to economy expedition and safety and showed
most conclusively that they weie preferable to all
others in all such and all other respects.
He called the attention of the Convention to the
great roads concentrating at IViemphis and thuwed
what Memphis had done and would do to com-
plete them.
He argued that Arkansas had the power and the
tesouires lo make her roads and connect herself
with the great commercial world; if she would on-
ly arouse herself and go to work.
Wc only regret that all the people of the State
were not present to hear the speech of Mr Topp.
Highly intciesting speeches were also made by
a number of our citizens among them Gov. Roar.c
Mr. Trapnall Mr. English. Mr. Walker of Yell
Col. Fowler. Col. Recior Mr. S. G. Smith of
Dallas and Col Terry.

England. A dissolution of the Eugl.sh
Cabinet is believed to be inevitable. After u
Cabinet Council on the Sth Lord John Rus-
sell proceeded to Windsor Cns-tlo to confer
with the Queen. It was generally supposed
that the whig government would fall through
before the meeting of Parliament. Tho Tunes
says that the attempt to strengthen the minis
try by an alliance with the Peclites had sig-
nally failed and the Prime Minister would be
compelled to meet Parliament without any
addition to his strength.
The Marquis of Lansdowne had tendered
his resignation as President of the Council.

the loss is immense.
The ship Columbia from New Orleans to
Liverpool was wrecked on the Tib off Wa.

Gaudxeiusji The government has re-
ceived depositions of witnesses in Mexico
whose statements if true make the whole
Gardner claim a stupendous fraud. The
counsel of the accused intend to press for a
triaL in a few days but the government will
ask for a continuance and will of course get
it on the depositions of these witnesses. A-
mong ihcin are the .agent of the Rothschilds
and the agent of Parris Galvez. The form-
er deposes that ho knew Gardner to be an iti
nerant physician and dentist; that he was nev
er banished from Mexico; that ho had no
credit and assumed to have none. The lat-
ter testifies that Galvez is now dead; that he
was living in 1814 and IS15; that he was the
great mining operator of the St. Louis Potosi
district; that he never lent Gardnerhis credit
o? money for mining purposes; that llio Ver.
da. whence Gardner alleged his mine to have
been i tfrj! a mining region; that Gardner
was a travelling doctor and dentist that he
did u job of dentistry for Galvez. and pre
scribed for him on one occasion for which
he was duly paid. This witness produces a
medical prescrip'ion signeo' by Gardner.
The above is the substance of what is a-
float in certain circles respecting lii.'S affair
and of its authenticity" 1 think there is no
doubt. Galphinis'm was a crushing business
but Gardnerism I ween is going to prove a
perfect annihilator of this wo fully corrupt ad-
ministration. Mr. Secretary Corwin it is
said however will disgorge the amount lie
got if fraud is proved. 1 learn that the gov
eminent wants some active shrewd and de-
termined young man who speaks Spanish to

T II E LEGISLATURE.
The labors of this body are rapidly diawlng to a
close and in accordance with the resolution here-
tofore adopted an adjournment sine din will doubt
less take place on Monday next Must if not all
the important measures of the session have been
passed in some form or other. The apportionment
hill having bpen amended in the House and the
Scmte refusing to concur is now hung up in that
condition. The Senate yesterday refused to np-
point a committee of Conference on this bill.
The bill for tho erection ol a Stale Capitol at this
citv has become a law.
The Capitol bill appropriates one hundred thou-
sand dollars for the erection of a State House and
provides for the election of two Commissioners and
a Supcnntemlant by joint vole of the Legislature
to superintend the erection of the building.
The river bill appropriates the following sums
for cleaning nut the rivers named :
For the Sabine thirty-three thousand dollars.
For the Trinity thirty-seven thousand five hun-
dred dollars.
For the llrazos thirty-seven thousand five hun-
dred dollars.
For ihc Colorado thirty-seven thousand five hun-
dred dollars.
For the Nechcs and Angelina tiventy-thrce thou-
sand dollars
For the Gaudalupe. twenty-one thousand dollars.
For the San Antonio six thousand dollars.
For Ferry Lake eight thousand dollars.
For Cypress Rayon two thousand dollars.
ror Little LViuess. tivo thousand dollars.
For Sulphur Fork of Trinity five thousand dol
3rs
For Jim's Ilavou one thousand dollars
... ... - . . .
For Rrd River seventeen thousand dollars.
For Buffalo Haymi four tbousai.d dollars.
For Sau Jacinto four thousand dollars.
For the San Bernard three thousand dullars.
For the Lavaca and Navidad three thousand dol-
lars. For the Nueces five thousand dollars
For the Rio Grande thirty-seven thousand fi"e
hundred dollars.
For Elm fork of Trinity four thousand five bun-
dled dollars.
For Lillic river four thousand five hundred dol-
lars. This bill passed the House on Thursday evening
last slightly amended as it came frnrp. the Senate
vhMl hwh. n as relIllncd 0I1 yertenJar. The
Senate struck out all the amendments of the Hou:
j and returned the bill to the latter body. Its fate is
uoutuiui.
Probably no legislative body has assembled in
Texas on whose deliberations more important ques-
tions have devolved than that which is nnw about
to adjourn ; and whilo some measures have failed
which many of the people of the State desired to
see consummated a vast amount of important leg-
islation has been perfected and much done to sus-
tain the character of tho Slato and advance her
prosperity and growth. These measures wo will
speak of more particularly hereafter.
The members in reluming home lo their con-
stituents we think are justly entitled to their ap-
proving smiles : for. as a body they have doubtless
labored honestly and we know thev have done so
zealously to advance the good of iheir country.
wuierunccs 01 opinion nave existed : but these dil-
fercnees have been merged in the voice of the ma-
jority and without an exception so far as we are
advised tho members will sep-irate in a spirit of
entire harmony and friendship. State Gazette.
H"? The two Houses of the Legislature yester-
day proceeded the election of a Supcrintendant
and two Commissioners to superintend the election
of the new Capitol. The following gentlemen
were chosen: St-'penntendant. James Doyle ; Com-
missioners Capt. James G. Swiaher and Dr. Saml.
G. Ilaynie. Thesalaiy of Supfrintendant is fixed
by the" bill at S 1500 per annum ami that of the
Commissioners at Sj00 per annum each.- Gazette.
The whig papers mention it as a very extraordi-
nary fact that during all the proceedings against
Mr. Thrasher in Cuba no correspondence of anv
kind was opened with the State department at
aslungton. If this statement is true it speaks
very poorly for the foreign appointments of the
present administration. No other administration.
we venture to say has ever had thus to apologise
iur us linn iniuci-iiiiy dj- impeacning inc agents of
its choice. But the foreign agents of our govern
ment are not wniiout an excuse such as it is for
uiuir own sunn comings i liey serve a set ol
weak and tardy masters and it is hardly to be ex-
pected that they should be better than their betters.
"Like master like man" is true the world over.
