Jose Gazette says: From the tone of the Jpectat we infer that intense excitement pru- th, otigh the land, and the war will be one teT nination. The Indians wish to rid the country of the wtiites--the Kites breathe a most ur 2om promising spirit of revenge. The- loslilit; of the Indians is confined to the Americans, nd it is said that they are intimately friend); ith the British. The' prisoners while in the hands of the Indians -ere most barbarously treated. The j-lcasu) incident to their rescue from their clanger and captivity, is marred, however, by the pai iful intelligence that a portion of them have I sen subjected to furthet outrage and insult- -the basest, the deepest that can postri- bly cot ceived, and from -which our mind recoils with irror.

We dare not chronicle the terrible story of their wrongs. The cause of the disturbances is said to be a horr ale suspicion that had taken possession of the ninds of the Indians-that the large number of deaths among them, caused by the dys- enter and rr easels was produced by poisonous drugs administered by Dr. Whitman. FR' CAT.IFOB.WIA.--Intelligence from California as late as the 20th of March has been receit ed. It confirms what has been before stated that Lieut.

THE WIPE. It is astonishing to see how well a man may live on a small income, who has a handy and industrious wife. Some men live and make a far letter appearance on six or eight dollars a week than others do on sixteen or eighteen dollars. The man does his part well, but the Js good for nothing. She will even upbraid her husband for not living in as good style as her neighbor, while the fault is entirely her own.

Her neighbor has a neat, capable, and industrious wile, and that makes the difference. His wife is a whirlpool into which a great many silver cups might be thrown, and the appearance of the water would remain unchanged No Nicholas, the diver, is there to restore the wasted treasure. It is only an insult for jch a woman to talk to her husband about her tove and devotion. THE CIIABTISTS.

4 3 1 MSBE NEWS FROM Polrio, of -sterday, contains later news frsm Yucatan, jy we learn that the violation of the ite treaty was the act of the whites, and not i the Indians. The Patria says It appear that the Indians confiding in the treaty of jace, recently concluded, entered the town of I urbide, where they were very well re- ceiv id by tho In a short lime a part of Campeachean troops arrived, corn- man led by a certain Baquiero, who, when he was informed that there were Indians within the own, determined to attack them, in spite of ie treaty, although he was informed by the peo ile that they had committed no depredation Bnquiero, however, carried his intention into effect, and expelled the Indians from the tow i. The Indians sent word to Pat, ho unn ediatcly despatched a reinforcement suffi- Ciei tly large to take Ule inivn and jiuarnnma the roops of Boqueiro and these heroes, on the app -oach of the Indians immediately took to figl and did not stop until they reached Campea 28 leagues distant. Merida and Izamal are well fortified, their garrisons consisting of Indians of the O. Crescent.

'he following is a copy of a petition to the Le -islalure, now in circulation, and being sig ted in this region of country Tel To the Honorable Senate and Assembly of the i Mute of Witconfin. Ye the undersigned petitioners of the would respectfully ask thr passage of law limiting the jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace in civil actions to the ir respective towns. Under the present sy tern, the debtor is subjected'to oppressive co ts, merely to accommodate the wish or the eai rice of tne creditor. Laws to Je equal, sh mid be as much for the accommodation of tin debtor the creditor, because the con- tri ition of a debt is a mutual tranaac- tic i between the parties. Your petitioners uld also ask for a provision of law, allow- in! tc the amount of two hundred dc lars to be taken by confession before the Peace.

petitioners would In (her ask your honorable" bodies lo lake into co isideration the propriety of reducing the fe -s of Justices of the Peaee. swers as follows: "Chartism the bitter discontent grown fierce and mad, tin wrong condition therefore, or the wrong disposition, of the working classes of England. This discontent arises from such enormous extortions by the landed aristocracy as turn twelfth man into a pauper it arises frori foul injustice--from long denial of right--fiom scorn of the capacity, the worth, the deplorable condition of the working masses. If capitalists employ them, it is at the starvation point of wages and when they cease to do so, the poor, dawn-trodden mechanic sees belore him, for himself and little ones, only the workhouse or the grave." DISTRESS iir I A A I or FI.ESIJ.--The follouing is an extract of the speech delivered by Mr. Reynolds in the British House of Corimons, April 11, during the discussion on the bill to punish seditious speaking with trcnsportation for seven or for life: All the towns of large population in Ireland were quiet and obedient to the laiv and yet Honorable members who know no more of (hat country than of New Zealand, said thry would vote for this bill because Ireland was disturbed.

He denied the Allegation, as a libel upon his country. Let Honorable members consiuer Ih; dislress that existed. Let him remind them that 1,000,000 of human beings had sunk into their graves Irom starvation within eighteen months. Let (hem remember the horrible case that within a fortnight had been brought before the Galway in which a man hao been guilty of bheep stealing, and Mr. Dobbin, a stipendiary magistrate, had applied in favoi of the prisoner, on account of the extenuating circumstances of his case.

One of his children had died of starvation, and the wife of that man had fed upon the flesh of that child bef rc he violated the law to procure food. Mr. Dobbin had caused Ihe body to be disenlerred and the limbs were found picked to the hone. In that case the judge shed tears, and ihe jury shed tears, tnct tiie man was disaharged. The case was an illustration of the idely-spread and terrible dis tress under which his countrymen were suffering.

Taking altogether, Honora's family is a very remarkable one.

Previous to her being sent to the State prison, where she has already served a term of years for a like offencu, she applied to the late District Attorney, Mr. Price, and offered him a considerable sum of money to defend her.
