Effect of the Recent Decisions of tl»e Supreme Court—Syeeflh of Mr. Ilrent. From a speech delivered in the Assembly by Mr. J. Lancaster Brent, of Loa Angeles, upon tbe subject of the decisions of the Supreme Court, we make the following extracts. The financial aflahs of the State are truly in a most confused state, and it would require, at Una time, sagacity of almost a superhuman character to see our way clearly. We copy from ilie Union : It will be seen, Mr, Speaker, by a consideration of these facts on record, and tlie scope and pervue of tliis decision, that it is laid down as an axiom that this Legislature possesses no power to make appropriations for the payment oi a debt to fall duo at a future time, unless there be in the vaults of the Treasury money equal to the discharge of the pro- poaed liability, and the standing indebtedness of $300,000. jNow, 1 am not here for the purpose of animadverting on the decision of the Supreme Court. I do not concur with those gentlemen who say that thoy have traveled out of their legitimate sphere, aud have endeavored lo forestall a decision of other cases which might come before them. I say that they have frankly and candidly discharged tlie duty of tbeir high office by placing before the public, at the time the Legislature is in session, their views and deBnitions of the law of the land. So far from meriting condemnation for their action, they deserve praise for having rendered a public benefit, for at this time the Legislature of the people may act upon the;r decision as the interests of the State demand. But, Mr. Speaker, Ihe enunciation of the principle that this Legislature cannot make an appropriation, or make provision for the payment of debts to accrue at some future period, unless there be at the time, sufficient, money in the vaults to meet the proposed liabilities, present" to my mind an obstacle to the progress of this government. I wish tlie Assembly to understand the principle announced. In the case of the People v. Johnson, the Supreme Court decided that the bonds that were issued were unconstitutional, aud imposed no debt or liability against the State, That decision related to the past, and carried with it evidence of the past debt. By that decision ihe past indebtedness'if the State via declared unconsti tutional. In the decision of Nougues v. Douglass, the Secretary of State, there is no reference to tho past, bnt there is h pointing to the future. In the case of the People p. Johnson, past indebtedness was declai ed unconstitutional. The recent decision wliich has been rendered, goes to ihe length of declaring that the legislative branch oftbe gov. erflment cannot pass a law creating a liability now. or at sotne future period, unless there be an ■.-quivab'iit amount of money in the vaults at the lime of the passage of such law. J wish to call the consideration ofthe Assembly to the fact that by the Aet providing for the erection of tbe State Capitol, no money is yet due to lhe contractor, lie has not sought to obtain any money—he has not desired an evidence of indebtedness which, at a future period, will entitle him to secure his pay in money or in land, hypothecated for the fulfillment of the contract on the part of State. If those lands did noi produce sufficient for the liquidation of the debt, he would have a hold upou the Treasury for the balance. I pre- Bent these facts for the purpose of showing that I am correct when I state, that whereas the decision of the Supreme Court, in the case of the People v. Johnson, related to the past, the decision recently rendered, and tc which we refer in our report, relates to the future. This decision establishes the principle beyond question and controversy, that the legislative branch of this government has no power to appropriate money or create liabilities, which shall require liquidation at a future day unless at the date of such action, sufficient funds shall be in the vaults ot the State. Why, look at tlie proposition enunciated! As I said before, I am not here to attack or animadvert upon that decision. It is a decision emanatin from the highest Court in this country. Without the decisions of this tribunal we do not know what our settled rights are, or what is the permanent or enduring law of the land, for the Supreme Court expounds the law, and we have no otjier expounder. And although these decisions may work and effect the destruction of this government, if they go to the length to which it seems they do go, I cau frankly express my belief aud conviction that they have only discharged tbeir duty iu pronouncing their verdict. Now, apply the principles enunciated by that Court to the ordinary expenses of government, because the Supreme Court have decided that the appropriations fbr the ordinary expenses are inhibited by the eighth article, as well as the other class of expenses. The Su preme Court decides that the State indebtedness at the present time is $300,000, and that we are utt- iiy inhibited from contracting a debt beyond that. We have now in tbe vaults of the Treasury—I went there this morning and ascertained the amoUnt—$93,982 55, This takes possession of our interest fuud. This sum is thj cash capital of this State, and we cannot obviously under the recent decision, appropriate anything beyond that amount. But a few days ago, Mr. Speaker, we passed a bill to appropriate money for defraying .he ordinary civil expenses of the government— to provide for the protection of life and property —to provide for the discharge of those duties which, by our oaths aud by the Constitution, we have had devolved upon ns. We bave passed a law providing for the expenses of government lor the next five months, and we have thus appropriated a sum not less than $300,000. The entire debt will fall due in (ive months. In tbe same manner the Legislature passed a law lasc Beesion creating a liability on the 1st of July, 1855. on account of the proposed construction of the State Capitol. There is ouly this simple difference between the two acts. The last Legislature appointed the date of the liabilities on behalf of the State Capitol, on the first of January, 1857, whilst our liabilities accrue monthly, and will all be discharged on tbe first of July, 1857. Now, we should have in the vaults $300,000, whereau we have but $93,000. Now, subtract $93,000 from $300,000, and you have $207,000, a balance which has been illegally appropriated by this Legislature. You have then appropriated money for the purpose of carrying on the State government to first of July, every dollar of which, over and above $93,000, is illegal and unconstitutional; and the law, therefore, is a nullity. It will be my duty, as a member of the Committee of Ways and Means of this House, to report a bill presently to provide ways and means for carrying on the government of the State of California, from the 1st of July, 1857, to the 30th of June, 1858—providing for the governmental expenses for the ninth fiscal year. We mu*-t needs appropriate a sum not less probably than $700,000, in order to enable the different branches of tbe government of this State to discharge their dnties. aud for wbich we have in the vaults but $93,000, and we are indebted iu the sura of $300,000. Now, I wish the Assembly to gravely contemplate this, state of things. Explosion at Sncromciito. From tlie Sacramento City Item, we take the following particulars ofthe late explosion in Sacramento : At about twenty minutes of six o'clock last evening a terrific explosion occurred at the Steam Flour Mill of H. Policy & Co., on N. street, near Second. The report was so loud as to startle the entire population of our city, and a cloud of steam at once arose, which gave to the beholders immediate evidence of the nature and character of the catastrophe. Boards, bricks, pieces of machinery, ascended into the air, and were scattered over tbe surrounding neighborhood. Thousand of citizens were immediately drawn to the spot, to witness a scene of the greatest confusion and destruction ever beheld in the city of Sacramento. The mill was a two story frame building, of about thirty feet by forty, with several sheds and side buildings attached. The back part of the building was a complete inassof ruins. Boards and rafters,shafts and pulleys, wheels and spindles, strips of tin and sheet iron, sections of the bursted boiler and leather belting, piles of grain and sacks of flour, all heaped promiscuously together, presented a scene very difficult to describe. It was known tbat the engineer, Mr. Dexter Moore, was iu the engine-rocra a few moments before the explosion, and the conclusion was of course unavoidable that he was buried beneath the ruins. A large number of firemen and other citizens went immediately to work to remove the ruins, to recover the body of Mr. Moore. Mr. George Boler, proprietor of the bakery adjoining the mill on theeast side, was injured so badly that it is deemed impossible for him to recover. In addition fo Mr. Moore and Mr. Boler, tlie only person who was seriously injured, fo far as we could ascertain, was Mr. Charles Rapp. He was one ofthe workmen employed about the mill, and was standing at the time outside the building, in the yard. A large portion of a brick building used by Mr- Boler as a storehouse, was reduced to man employed in it at the time mad row escape, being slightly injured. The new brick building on the corner of Second and N streets, which stands some seyenty-five feet from the location ofthe boiler, was pierced iu several places by portions of the boiler. A large portion ol the boiler, weighing probably a to , descended ou the roof of a house occu pied by Mr. Frank Moore, ou Second street. It must have been thrown over a hundred feet. It crashed that portion of the building on which it descended, and a young lady who was sick and iu bed, escaped from the room witb great difficulty. Tlie New llrltlMli Minister In (lie V. Slate*, A writer from Loudon says: "Lord Napier's appointment to fhe United States mission, will, 1 fancy, be popular on the other side of the Atlantic as well as on this. It is not merely because be is a lord, but because he is a sensible, straightforward man, with good liberal sentiments, which a pretty long apprenticeship to diplomacy and close contact with despotshave only served more strongly to confirm. Besides filling minor appointments* he has been Secretary of Legation at St. Petersburg, at Naples, and for tlie last two m three years, under Lord Stratford, at the embassy at Constantinople. At Naples he was, as well as I can recollect, Charge d'Affaires during lhe recent events of 18-18-9 ; and his conduct on that occasion, during the absence of Sir William Temple, waa warmly approved by Lord Paimerston. Lord Napier, who is now in his 38th year, obtains hid promotion almost in regular course ol seniority, as he and Mr. Henry George Howard, Secretary of Embassy at Paris, were the senior members of the diplomatic body without a mission. Several steps of promotion wilt now take plaee in that service. It Is, I believe, settled that Mr. Henry Fmncis Howard,, now Minister at Lisbon, will go to Hanover ; and it is probable, though not settled, that Sir John Crampton will be announced aahis successor before Lord Napier takes his departure for Washington, early in February. rums A i a very nar- Later fiom Gunymaa. The schooner Ada, Captain Brown, twenty days from Gnaymas, arrived at this port yesterday. By her we learn that all waa quiet at Guaymas when the Ada sailed. General Gaudara/s brother had charge of the revolutionists, and was defeated in a battle fought at Hermosillo, when twenty-sii of his men were killed. Finding bin case hopeless, he retreated, and after being in his saddle some time, he came into Guaymas and gave himselt up' to General Pesquiera. During the excitement the government troops rushed into the bouse of General Gandara where his wife was lying in bed sick (having been just confined.) and frightened berfio- that she died iu a short time after. Gandara was taken prisoner, and conducted to the interior, where, report says, he would be tried and shot. It was also reported that Gandara being so overcome with fatigue and exposure had become somewhat crazy. Some time since a party of Indians numbering someone hundred and fifty, had entered the town of Santa Cruz, destroyed every habitation in the- place, drove the inhabitants into the woods, and during their abseuce plundered all they could lay their hands on; carrying off large quantities of grain, mules, &c. Since the revolution is settled and the State has come under the control of Gen; Pesquiera, the inhabitants are returning and re" building the town. Two of the Indians were killed by the falling of one ofthe houses. The Indians had also killed one of their own chiefs in the affray. SeSor Ramon Bayeres had been brutally murdered by the Indians. Oue of the murderers had been arrested. When Capt. Brown left, tbe Indians had all come in and gone to work as formerly, nod everything appeared as though peace would be of a long duration.—Herald. A large piece of the boiler was thrown on to the levee, a distance of nearly two huudred feet. We are unable to ascertain the value of tlie property destroyed, but presume it will not be less thau fifteen or twenty thousand dollars. Thu body of Mr. Moore has been takeu from the ruins of the building. He was fouud near the boiler, with his head badly mutilated, and his bowels protruding. Mr. Garfield had been washing a sieve bnt a few seconds before the accident, at the second ccck of the boiler, and says there was a lull head of water in then. He had but time to walk from the boiler to the trout door when the explosion occurred. State Map-—The Surveyor General makes the following observations in relation to a State map : " The existing official map of tbe State is a broad burlesque upon the topography of California. It s a disgrace aud a reproach to the State, and bould be replaced at once by a map conforming to the true character of the country. The State should possess a correct map in the original, and not be at the mercy of any unauthorized publication. I would recommend the appropriation of $5,000 fbr that purpose," Sukveyob Gexeiul's Report.—From tbe above named State paper, says tbe Daily Bee, we coin- pile the following statistics: Four hundred and twenty-seven township plats from the United States Surveyor General's ollice have been copied and forwarded to oouuty surveyors, exhibiting descriptions of the swamp and overflowed lands withiu their limits. During the past year 12,933 acres of school lauds bave been located, aud 146,- 279 acres of swamp and overflowed lauds. Upper Sacramento Flood.—Tbe Shasta Republican says :—■' The late extraordinary rise iu tlie Upper Sacramento river, we are glad to learn, did but little damage. All those living near ita bauks took timely warning from the heavy rains, and made preparation to meet the flood. In a few hours the rite was about thirty ftet. It was at its height on Sunday last, after which it gradually subsidtd. <iiifc "I see, Missus Jonsing, dat you's got anoder white gul working for you." "Yes, child, Use had her deee tree weeks !" " What de cause for your preference ob d^sc white gals, honey?" •• Why, de fact am, when yon gets one ob de colored gals, dey think dar's an ekality, aud makes demselves too familiar like; but dese white gals don't—dey keeps urn place !" •Tollilj- of Engllsli High Life. The following pleasant peep at English domestic life, is extracted from a letter written by an officer ofthe Merrimac frigate, when she lay at Southampton, in October. Wefiud it in the Washington (N. C.) Journal:— "Much attention hsa been paid us ashore, too, especially by two families—one lhat of nn old Fast India general, the other that of fjord Ilardwicke. Gen. Frazier bas passed most ofbislife in India,. and now lives in ease and comfort on the Southampton Water. At a dinner at his house we had an opportunity of seeing bow the aristocracy here live. Lord Ilardwicke and family, and several other guests were there to meet us, *Dd everything- was in splendid style. One turban Indian, with? several other servants, waited ut table. The plato was superb, and the dinner the most recherche* We sat down to the table at 74. These are always epaulets and sword occasions. Lord HardwickeV tami ly consists ol his countess, his eldest son, (about 18 or 20, and Lord Royston by courtesy,) three of the finest looking daughters you ever saw, and several younger sons. The daughters—Lady Elizabeth, Lady Mary, and Lady Agnita—are surpassingly beautiful, such development, such rosy cheeks, laughing eyes, aud unaffected manners,. you rarely see combined. They take a great deal of outdoor exercise, and came aboard the Merrimac- in a heavy rain, with Irish thicker soled shoes than you or I ever wore, and cloaks and dresses almost impervious to wet. They steer their father's yatch,, walk the Lord knows how many miles, and don't care a cent about rain, besides doing a host of other things that would slioek our ladies to death;: —and yet in the parlor aro the mo^t elegant women in their satiu shoes and diamonds I ever saw. The Countess in her coionet of jewels Is an elegant lady, and looks like a fit mother for three snch women. His lordship bas given us three or four dinners. He lives here merely during the yachting season, and leaves here on Friday for bis country seat Cambridge, where he spends bis winter, asdonll English geutleman of means, hunting, «tc.»- and when Parliament is in session he lives in London in his town house. Here he has a host of servants, and they wear (he gaudiest livery—white coats with big silver buttons, white cravats,plush knee-breeches and vest, white silk Btookiofffl and low shoes. Lord Ilardwicke"? brother isDean of York, a high church dignitary; h.is two pretty daughters, and is himself a jolly gentleman. After dinner the ladies p'ay and slug torus, and the other night tbey got up agnmo of blind-man**, buff, in which the la lies said we had the advantage, inasmuch as their " petticoats rustled so that they wero easily caught." They call things by tbeir names hrre. In tbe course ofthe game Lord Hard- wicke himself was blindfolded, and, trying to tateb some one, fell over his daughter's lap on the floor,. when two or three of the girls caught him by the legs and dragged his lordship, rooiing witblaugh- ter, as we all were, on bis back iuto the middle of the floor. Yet they are perfectly respectful, fctit appear on a perfect equality witb each other. In fact, the English are a great people. Two clubs bere bave offered us tbe use of their room*.. '-
