Tlic news of the fortnisrlit
ending
llay o cannot bo said to be important,
or characterize J. by any very remark
able occurrences or incidents. Tiie
weather has been unusually cold, and
there have been occasional showers,

succeeded by cold, dry summer weather, i

Francisco is noted for at this season of
the year.
The State Legislature adjourned .on
the 21st of May the day of the sailing
of the last steamer, leaving a record of
its public acts for the criticism of the
press and the scrutiny of the people.
Manv things have lrcn done for the
benefit of the State', and much that
was needed was left undone. The bill
to 1 consolidate the city and county

passed, and has been, approved. IThe

The bills to fund the county indebt
cdncss'and the rejected city scrip were
both lost, and since' the adjournment
suit3 have been commened against the
city of San Francisco upon the latter
for about 200,000 dollars There is in
all about 1,700,000 dollars of -this
character of indebtedness against, the
city, nearly all of which will probably
be sued upon now, in consequence, of
the failure of the Legislature to provide
for funding it. - -. . .
Gov. Johnson has removed, two
notaries public of San Francisco,' who
refuse to obey his order, and the matter
will be carried into the. Courts, to . de
termine whether or' not he ha3 the'
authority to remove them. It is claimed
that the law is special, and that they
are appointed for two years. Under
this construction, Gov. Johnson cannot
select the notaries until the expiration
of the term of Gov.Biglcr's appointees.
These two removals are to be made a
test, upon which will rest the fate of
about 50o m the btate. . .

were instructed to appear -before the
Referee arid prove their claims,' and
have them registered prior to the 1st
of May,' which claims should be the
- only ones' entitled to the benefits of the

. prive a large number of holders, both
here, and at the East,' of -the pro-rata

the settlement at the Cascades, destroy

persons. They have also captured and
destroyed the steamer Mary. Alto

exceedingly gloomy, and it is evident
that the Territory needs assistance.

' THE XT KITED STATES AUD FEESIA. .
The follovring statement is from the
Constantinople correspondent - of the
London Times; . " ' . . .
I; told" you in my last that a treaty
had been concluded between the United
States and Persia. - It was concluded
under the" auspices of the ' Russian
mission, and its spirit is directed against
England. It pretends to. be a com-r
mcrcial treaty, and so it would be were
it not for these articles. " .
The first 5f these savs: That the
Persians, not being a maritime nation
the Americans will be obliged, for the
advantages which the treaty grants to
their commerce, to have a .fleet in; the
Persian Gulf, in order to defend Persia
againiEt the enterprises of whatever
maratime nation should attack herJ'
The second gives the Americans the
right to have their ships of war in the
Shatt-u-Arab, the mouth of the Tigris
and the third of the articles allow
theih to have a factory at Kurnah. .
Such is, then, the result of our mis
taken policv with Persia.1 We hive a
competitor on the Persian gulf. "The
most curious thinjr is that the Americans
are to have Kurnah as a factoryone
of the places which we persuaded the
Turks to give up to the Persians in the
frontier convention.- - i - - ;.

A VISIT TO I EE SITE OF THE TEKPLE OF

'A letter dated Jerusalem,'Fcb. 21st
and published in , tho Xcwt York Ob
server, contains, the following extract
; ' No better evidence of the change o

fact that the Mosque of Omar at J eru

from Christian intrusion, is now open
cd to themy and'that yesterday, a'party

without, some difieulty, but the money
of travelers has found its way into the
hearts; of the Moslems, and has vastly
relaxed their religious seventy. ; ' .
' The Pasha lias granted several orders

travelers to the mosque, but . English
and French nile here now, and Ameri-.
ca is unknown. . Hence- in the I'asHa's
absence, his agent here wouldnottakc
the responsibility of admitting to the
great - harem; but the chief of, the
soldiery Hasham-Age, volunteered (in
consideration of- sundry . gold pieces)
to open the gates for us. The fanatic
ism of the servants of the Mosque is
unabated, and without a "proper. 'order
or guard it is -dangerous for a Christian
to approach and impossible for him to
enter., Ha sham- Aga gave us a guard
of thirty soldiers, who accompanied us,
and we entcred.the grarid court at one
o'clock, and remained in the Mosque
and in the great crypts under it, for
two oY three hours,; examining every
thing; and as you remember that -.this
is the site of the Temple of Solomon,
and the" enclosure of -the court is con
sidered identical in size' and shape with
thexourt or enclosure of thetemple,
and" the crypts 'antedate the Christian
era, you may imagine the interest with
which I went over this hitherto unex

been on the ground of the Temple ot

of. the residents here, missionaries, or

follows: -. .;--.'li.-..J: ' ' : .
"I am deep in my rCvclorloedJa.,
which must be done 'by the end of June,
and there is so much drudgery about it
that I can scarcely draw a free .breath
until it-is off my . hands." 'The idea was
not mine originally, but I like it very
much, and think the, work will be very
useful., It ;will contain the crcarir of
all the best riarrati ves of exploration
and discovery during this century
some, of which have never appeared in
English, others out of print, and'others
again, very expensive .ayoi-ks. .1 have
undertaken it, not ras a mere job, but
is a permanent investment, for I think
it will sell largely; as it will furnish
or, 3 or 4 dollars what' you connot get
in any other shape for less than 100
dollars. : .. Of course, I let each .'man tell
lis own tale as. much as possible: my
work is to select,' arrange, compare,
abridge, illustrate, &c." ' .
