TWO WK1CKN LATIH PROM OAJLI rOKKlA, 1 he N orthern Light brings California pa per? Lo November 20th, from which we make tho following extracts: Many murders are recorded throughout the State; there was a large fire at t>au Francisco on the 16th, causing a loss of $25,000. General Richardson had been murdered by n gambler named Cora, and the latter was under arrest. The southern part of the State was threaten ed with Indian disturbances. The/ were steal ing large numbers of cattle. 1 he Americans had held a State Convention at Sacramento, and appointed delegates to the Philadelphia National Convention, instructing them to vote for no man for President unless he is in favor of a Pacific Railroad, and op posed to slavery agitation. The Indian disturbances in the North, to which we have before alluded, are rather in creasing than diminishing, and are excitiug universal alarm throughout our frontiers. Hon. Isaac B. Wall, Collector of the port of Monterey, and T. S. Williamson, an officer of the county of Monterey, were murdered on the 10th inst. They had a large amount of money with them, which was not taken, but their pistols and spurs were gone. The Sheriff of Monterey went out with a party to arrest the murderers, but the latter killed two of their pursuers. Lieutenant Archibald MacRea, commanding the United States surveying schooner Ewing, committed suicide on board of his vessel in the harbor of San Francisco, while laboring under temporary insanity. Deceased was thirty-five years old. The accounts from the mines are generally very flattering. Immense piles of earth have been thrown up in the dry diggings, awaiting I the rains to wash out the gold, and now that water is becoming abundant there is no lack of employment for all. Mr. Julius Levy (of the firm of StsLosky, Levy & Co.) convicted in the United States Circuit Cou?, of smuggling, has been sen tenced to pay a fine of $5,000 and to be im prisoned one year in the county jail. The smuggled goods, valued at $30,000 were also forfeited. * I I he following persons are chosen delegates ! to the Presidential nominating Convention next I June: John Skinner, ot Sacramento; S. W. Brockeray, of Calaveras; Dr. Hitchcock, ofl San Francisco; and Mr. Winters, of Sacra-1 mento. The Yankee Blade.?The last of the trea sure from this ill-fated steamer has been raised I by Captain Randal), who is said to have cleared above $80,000 by his diving operations at the wreck. Assassination .of General Richardson, United States Marshal. I Never have the people of San Francisco been more intensely excited than on Saturday evening, upon the announcement that General William H. Richardson, United States Marshal for the Northern District of California, had been assassiuated in the very .heart of the city, by Chas. Cora, an Italian, and a well known J sporting character in the gambling saloons of San Frau cisco. It Beems that on Friday night Geueral Rich ardson and Cora had had a difficulty, which to all appearances, was arranged on Saturday. On Saturday evening, about six o'clock, the parties met at the " Cosmopolitan," on Mont gomery street, between Clay and Commercial, where the difficulty of the previous evening had occurred. After some conversation, ana at abftut half past six o'clock they walked arm in arm down Clay street, until they reached the building once known as Godeffroy k Sill em's, and at present occupied by Fox k O'Con nor. Here, in front of the first door they stop ped, and had some conversation, a portion of which was overh'eared by different parties, rfi detailed below, and all, uncontradicted as it is, showing that one of the most wanton and de- I liberate murders on record was perpetrated. Richardson was understood to ask if it was all right. The reply was in the affirmative. Some words in a low tone passed. A pistol was seen in one of Cora's hands, whilst with the other he grasped Richardson by the throat, and shoved him into the door. Richardson was I then beard to remonstrate against his firing as he was unarmed. Cora, with his pistol?a Derringer?against Richardson's breast, fired, held him up for a moment, and then let him down upon the sidewalk, and slowly walked up Clay street, when the alarm being given, he was arrested without resistance. Those who first reached the prostrate form of General Richardson, found him lying on his face, with his head towards the street, and his feet on the door sill. A leaded Derringer was lying near his hand, and soon after a Bowie, recognized as the property of General Rich ardson, was handed bv an unknown boy to a police officer, which tke boy had apparently picked up from the curb stone. These two in cidents are of great importance,and have been developed in the course of the investigation. It also appears that immediately after the alarm was given, a stranger was observed run ning down from the corner of Clay street, with a pistol, and a startling development, it is said, will be made, to the effect that General Rich ardson lost both his knife, and his pistol on the previous night. If this should prove to be to, it will at once explain the manner in which the knife and pistol came to be found where they were, as well as the extraordinary declaration of General Richardson that he was unarmed. General Richardson was then removed to the drug store of Messrs. Keith k Co., corner of Clay and Montgomery, where he expired in about five minutes after he had been shot. After his body had remained there for some time, it was removed to the U. 8. Marshal's of fice, in the Merchant's Exchange, corner of Hattery and Washington streets, where a poet mortem examination was held by Drs. Sawyer and Rowel!. Immediately after the commission of the fatal deed, the news spread like wildfire, and an immense concourse collected around the drug store. For a brief period all seemed ap palled, but presently some one cried oat? "Hang him ! hang him !" The proposition was loudly opposed by some as it was urged by others, and thore seemed to be no disposition to take any decided action on the part of any one. Meanwhile Cora was taken to the Station home A loaded and unloaded Derringer were found upon his person. He was somewhat ag itated, and accounted for the act by stating that he was afraid Richardson intendea to kill him. Afterwards he said that Richardson had drawn first a Bowie knife and then a pistol npon him, and that he fired in self defence. lastead of dispersing the crowd became more exasperated, and a proposition to lynch Cora was put to the vote. There was a mingled shout of "ayes" and "noes"?some wbe ad dressed the people advised submission to the laws, whilst others were for rescuing the pris oner and hanging him at once. *ho rmtral. Gen. V* illiam H. Richardson was buried this afternoon, from Calvary Church, on Bush street in Mountain Cemetrr. His remains were taken from the U. S. Marshal's office, by the Masonic Fraternity, and placed in the hearse, whence they were taken to the chorch. followed by a procession of his brother Masons. Gen. Richardson was 33 years of age. He had been Quartermaster General of the California militia ? was a member of the Democratic Nationai Convention in 1852; and since March '53, has been U. 8. Marshall for the Northern District of California. He leaves a young wife, who, in her delicate situation, is brought to the point of death by this sudden and melancholy bereavement. aexeltlnff New* from Rogwe River. The following important intelligenoe is from an extra of the Yreka Union, dated November 5th: Capt.Pierce communicated the startling intel ligence this morning of a pitch battle having been fought at Crow Creek Canyon, Rogue River valley, on Wednesday last (October 31st,) between about 300 Indians ana 400 regulars and volunteer*, under CapL Smith, U. 8. A., of Port Lane. The fight commenced at 1 o'clock, p. in., and continued till 10, the Indiana retreating all the while, and firing back upon the whitea. ? At length it waa deemed necessary that ateps be taken to provide for the wounded, and a halt waa ordered, when the Indiana rallied and commenced firing upon the men, to whom prudence dictated the course of retir ing to an open apace, where a more effectual atand could be made, which they accordingly did. It was then aacertained that 18 of the Captain's men had been killed, and 25 wounded ?some mortally, others dangerously, and a few slightly. A message was then dispatched to Capt. George, at Althouse, who started immediately with 80 volunteer recruits. He would join Captain Smith on Thursday, at an early hour, when it is expected that u renewal of the encounteer will take place. On Thursday last a scouting party of six re turned with intelligence that aDout 250 Indians were in the vicinity of the heads 'of Antelope and Butte Creeks. Captain Thomas Smith, with about 100 men, immediately started out, and it is feared that a serious encounter would take place. The attack, it was expected, would be made on Saturday or Sunday last. News of the result is hcuirly expected. rifht with Indiana In Sbaata Valley. On Thursday last, Nov. 1st, a party of six teen men under Mr. Tupper, of Shasta Valley, fell in with a large body of Indians in the mountains dividing the waters of the Klamath and Shasta rivers. After a brief engagement, and losing one man, the whites were compelled to retreat. On Friday, a body of Indians were seen crossing Shasta Valley from the neighborhood where the fight occurred, and shaping their oourse for Scott river, by the mountain trail from Scott to Shasta Valley. It is rumored that two men, Mr. Snow, of the Klamath River Ferry, opposite Beaver Creek, and a man by the name Of Scott, have been killed on the trail leading from the Mountain House of Doty & Doyle to the Klamath river. A party of 25 or 30 started from Deadwood yesterday to look into the matter. These two men led the Mountain House on Tuesday even ing last for the Ferry. On Saturday, Mr. Doyle went in search of lost animals; and found papers and a machiere, belonging to Mr. Snow, cut and torn up, and other marks of violence. These circumstanccs gave rise to the suspicion that both had been killed. More R*-tnforc?m?nti tor Col. Walker's Army. The favorable intelligence from Nicaragua received by the steamship Uncle Sara, appears to have had the effect to turn the attention of a large number of persons here to the benefits which must inevitably follow the establishment of a Democratic government in that country. The steamship Cortes carried away yesterday about eighty-five passengers for Sau J uan, all having through tickets to New York; but at least seventy of these, as far as could be ascer tained, expected to remain at Nicaragua. Un doubtedly a much larger number of persons would have taken this opportunity to join their fortunes to the enterprises of Col. Walker's party, but for the want of time or preparation. The conquest of Granada by the Revolutionist army has given confidence to many who de sire no better opportunity for the investment of their capital than is offered by the gold mines of Nicaragua under a liberal and just govern ment, and the next steamer for San Juan will probably carry not only men, but means for the initiative step towards the accomplishment of that which has been commenced by the pio neers under Col. Walker. From the New York Express of Dec. 12th. IMPORT A BIT FROM CENTRAL AME RICA. Arrival of Parker H. French, as Minister s to Washington. Among the passengers is Col. Parker H. French, accredited Minister to the United States, in place of Mr. Marcoletti, recalled. Col. French is vested with extraordinary powers, to enable him to settle immediately the difficulties between the United States, England, and Nicaragua. He also brings with him the ratification of a new treaty, made by his Government with Col. Wheeler, U. S. Minister to Grenada. Col. French carries with him to Wrashington some beautiful specimens of quartz and placer gold from the mines of Chontales, together with samples of native produce. Mr. Jos. R. Mali, editor of the El Nicaragttense, Capt. C. H.Bald win, of the steamship Uncle Sam, Capt. Jos. N. Scott, the company's Agent at Nicaragua, and Capt. W. H. Williamson, Nicaraguan army, are also among the passengers. Gen. Cabanas, the President of Honduras, arrived in Granada on the first instant, with a large number of his principal officers. Great preparations had been made to receive him ap propriately. It was reported, and generally believed, that he visits the Government as Am bassador from the Republics of San Salvador and Honduras, to propose a union of the three republics into one confederacy, with General Walker at the bead. The peace of Nicaragua seems firmly estab lished, and its beneficial effects are everywhere observable. The Transit route continues to be improved, and even now it equals any m the United Slates. Newbuildings are in the course of construction along {he line, and parties are out in every direction exploring ana prospect ing the mountain regions and farming locali ties. The company's new wharf at Virgin Bay has been advanced seven hundred feet into the lake. The soldiers of WaHcer'a battalion were in deep grief for the loss of two of their best men. On the 24th ultimo, Wm. Mull, aged twenty five, supposed to be a native of New York, ac cidentally killed himself with a pistol, contained in his overcoat pocket, the ball entering the chin and lodging in the brain. On the 28th, Henry Barrington, aged twenty-four died of disease of the heart. He belonged to Phila delphia, where he was understood to be re spectably connected. They were buried with military honors. The Unele Sam brought down a rifle com pany of fifty men for Gen. Walker, under com mand of Capt. C. O. Neil, which increases the American force at Grenada to three hundred and seventy-five men. The United States man-of-war Massachusetts was lying opposite San J uan del Sur. The of ficers had just returned from a visit to General Walker, and highly delighted were they all with their reception, the general good feeling, and the brilliant future of the country. The passengers by the Northern Light made the Transit from ocean to ocean in twenty-two hours. The health of the country is perfect and the cholera has entirely ceased in the Re public. The Transit Company has in its employ one hundred and fifty men, and during two years and four months not a single death has occur red among them, and that being the only un healthy portion of the country.

By the bark Yankee from Honolulu, we have dates up to November 3d. His Majesty, King Kamehameha 4th, had returned to Honolulu after a visit to some other portions of his dominions. In the case of Andrew G. Francis, a seaman from San Francisco, charged at Honolulu with the murder of Charles E. Francis, the jury, were unable to agree, and he was discharged. Lee & Marshall's circuis had arrived at Honolulu and commenced its performances. Yankee Sullivau had arrived at Honolulu, for the purpose of giving sparring exhibitions at the Royal Hawaiian '1 heatre. H. B. M.'s ship Thincomalee, 25 gunB, Cap tain Houston, arrived in Honolulu, Oct. 20th, having left San Francisco on the evening of the loth. ' Business is represented as uncommonly dull at Honolulu. Tli* Eruption of Hawaii. A private letter, extracts from which are published in the Polynesian, gives the follow iug description of the burning of Hawaii: Hilo, October 13th, 1855. Hawaii still burns. The great furnace on Mauna Loa is in full blast. For sixty-three days the molten flood has rolled down the mountain without abatement Our Hawaiian atmosphere is loaded with smoke and grasses, through which the Bun shines with dingy and yellow rays. The amount of lava disgorged from this awful magazine is enormous. The higher regions of the mountains are flooded with vast sheets of smoking lava, while the streams which have flowed down the side of the moun tains spread over a surface of several miles in breadth. The main stream, including all its windings, must be more than 50 miles long, with an average breadth of 3 miles. This is still flowing direct to our bay, and is supposed to be within 10 miles of us. It is eating its way slowly through the deep-forest and the dense jungle in our rear, and its ter minal must be the sea, unless the great summit fountain shall cease to disgorge. On the 2d inst. Mr. M'Culley and myself set off to explore the eruption, taking the bed of the Btream, the Wailuka river, a* our path We reached the terminal crater in four and a half days, tracing up the fiery stream of the mountain. In the woods we could not follow it, on accouut of the dense jungle. The burning stream now runs all the way in a covered duct, so that it can be seen only at its vents which let off the gas. These are truly fearful. We looked down one of them, and saw the fiery curent rushing under us, in some places at the rate of 40 knots. We returned via Rilauea, and were absent 10 days. What we. saw and heard and felt, cannot be de scribed. Should the lava continue to approach us, I intend, after a little rest, to make a party and cut through the juugle to the end of the stream. I need not Bay that Hilo is wakeful and inquisitive just now. We apprehend no per sonal danger, but should the fiery ruin enter our bay, ''wealth will take wings like an eagle" , Oct. 15-A native visited the lava stream yes terday. Distance about twelve miles, advanc ing with sure aud solemn progress towards us. All Hilo is thoughtful. We shall send up daily parties to watch the progress of this devouring flood.

The Effecta of Habit.?Yeaterday, in the Houae of Representatives, a motion to adjourn over until Monday having been made, the yeaa anil naya were directed to be taken, in order to determine the question. Several gentlemen dur ing the *11 loudly ejaculated either "Banka," or "Richardson," instead of "yea" or "nay, 'aa that part of the proceeding* required! Thia ahowed the efleet of habit. Their names had previoualy been called My-eight timet, that they might pronounce their choice for Speaker. It may readily be conceived that theae miatakea afforded much merriment to the membera of the Houae generally, whoae loud and hearty outburala ol laughter aerved to relieve the monotony attendant on the ineffectual effort to elect a preaidiug officer. Present to General Kuafc.?On the 10th in atant, ihe Hon. John B. Weller, on the part of aouie of the peraonal (California) friends of Hon. Thomus J. Kuak, of Texas, preaented the latter gentleman a manaaneta cane, the head of which exhibits various apecimena of the gold of that ISttite j tendered to him aa a teatimonial of their high reaped for him aa a Senator and a citizen, re garding him aa " the juat and generoua friend of every aection oi the Union, never aaking for the South'' what he ia*" unwilling to yield to the North." In reply to the letter of Mr. Weller, Mr. Rusk returns hia warmeat thanka, truating lhat, through life, be it loug or abort, the cane will re mind him how much he oiyea to the frienda of the Constitution, and still stronger inipreaa upon hiin the obligations he is under to do justice to all sections, and especially to the Pacific coastj pledging hiuiaelt' that he will zealously contribute all in hia power to the construction of a railroad to unite the two great oceans?the Pacific and the Atlantic. lleliiis Hord.?Au elderly guntllfnan of thia name, from the Mate of Ohio, ia now in Washing ton, soliciting subscriptions to "The Youth'a Alphabet to the science of nature, man, and art." He has what he calls a novel method of calculat ing inaccessible heights and distances, etc. Thia prospectus exhibits a flattering endoraement of his labors and discoveries, and he displays an unusual degree of confidence and enthusiasm in the success of his system. The scientific por tion of the community, interested in such sub jects, v ill doubtless bestow attention upon the new application of geographical power and the other brunches ol the elaborate programme. Au Accomodating Officer.?As no money can be obtained from the United States Treasury for the pay of members of the House of Repre sentatives until a Speaker of that body shall have been elected, the funds being drawn to his order, A. J. Glossbrenner, esq , the sergeant-at-arma, with a view to the accommodation of the mem bers, has paid out to them twenty-eight thousand dollars from his own resources.

I address my annual circular to the public, ap prising it that the Globe will renew its reports of the Congressional Debatea at the next aeaeion ol Congress. It ia hardly necessary to aav that the proceedings ol the uext Congreaa will be of veal iui|?ori to the country. The iaauea which have been made in relatiou to alavery, connected with the great iniereat which ia alwaya taken in Cob gress in relation to the nominaliou of preaidential candidate*, Will give inlenae excitement to the next aeaaion, which will be oouiinuoicaled to the public. Whatever ia debated iu Congress will be debated everywhere. The importance of official reporta cannot, therefore, be too highly estimated. The country will paaa upon the proceeding* ol Congress as ihey progress, and public opinion, it properly informed, will have a aalutary influence upon the result. The Daily Globe will be printed on a double royal sheet at eleven o'clock every morning, ex cept Sunday, and will contain all the message* of the President of the United Statea; the reporta ol the Executive Departmenta; the entire proceed ings of Congress; the lawa paaaed during the aeaaion; and the news by telegraph and Irom other sources up to the hour of going to press. The debatea in Congreaa frequently fill thirty, forty, filly, and sometimes more than i hundred columns a day. Whenever they make more: lhan twenty-eight columns a day, extra aheeta are printed. , Tuesday's Congressional Globe will be pub lished every Tuesday morning, and contain the proceedinga of Congreas in a condensed form; the current news of the day, and auch -editorial com meni upon the times aa may be deemed suitable to the character of the paper. When the debatea of a week cannot be condenaed into twenty columns, and leave eight oolumns of the aheet or other matter and advertisements, aa extra sheet will be printed. The Congressional Globe will be the revised edition of the proceedings contained in the Daily Globe, aad the lawa paased during the session, printed in book form on a royal quarto page, and will, probably, make four volumea of nine hun dred pages each. The last volume of the four will be an Appendix, which will contain such speeches as are written out by the members them selves, with such deferred proceedings aa neces sarily accompany them. Complete indexes will be made out and forwarded to aubscribers aoon after the end of the session. If a subscriber shall lose any numbers, they will be supplied at the rate of three cents for sixteen pages. It is admitted by every competent judge, whose opinion I have heard expresaed on tho subject, that the debatea of Congress are better reported, and sold lower than those of any other legislative body. A calculation which I made for the Senate of the United States in April, 1854, shows that Congress paya me for reporting and publishing its debates in the Daily Globe, and then in the Congressional Globe and Appendix, only eleventh the rate charged in England for publish ing the debates of Parliament, and about on* seventh the average rate paid by the Statea of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Kentucky, (which are all the Slates in which the orices paid had then been ascertained,) for publishing their de bates in book form oiily. The debates of Con gress are offered to subscribers, in this Prospec tus, for about one-half the price paid for them by Congress?the expense of reporting, and tfeen publishing them in the Daily Globe to enable members to revise their remarks for the Congres sional Globe and Appendix, are all paid for by Congress, and do not form any part of the *6 which an individual pays for them. Calculations showing the prices paid for debates are printed on the fourth page of the paper. To facilitate the circulation of the Congreasional Globe and cheapen it to subscribers, Congress passed a joint reaolutiou making it freeof postage.

TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. GENTLEMAN?Tbe valuable medicinal proper!ies of Balsam Copaiba have long been recognised by tbe faculty, but tbe great dis advantage urisiug /row ila u?uteou? taste baa huherte prevented ita administration in many diseases for wbich it is particularly adapted. Tbe usual ' modui operandi" of prescribing it, either in tbe form of an Emulsion or Gelatinous Cap- J sules, has not been found satisfactory, being liable to some objection, either from the difficulty expe rienced by some individuala in the deglutition of the Capsule or the small quantity of Copaiba gen erally /bund in tbe Emulsion. Joyce's tasteless solution of Copaiba is the most unique preparation yet introduced to tbe medical profession, as it contains 50 per cent, of the purest Para Copaiba, without taste or smell, and at same time mixes clearly and freely with water, and is pronounced by the most eminent pbysiciana and analytical chemists in tbe old and new worlds to coutaiu all tbe medicinal proper tie* of Balsam Copaiba without its disagreable characteristics. It is an efficient preparation for all diseases of the mucous membranes, and particularly Gono rhecea, Leucorrhuea, Gleet, painful hemorrhoidal atiections, and in chronic irritation of tbe bladder.
