A resolution sanctioning the Compromise ; measures, was indeed something to the point, and showed that the Convention was not alto gether given to retrospection, but cognizant to some extent at least of existing issues in which t-he feelings and interests of the people are deeplv concerned. The resolutions of '9B and '99 must of course receive confirmation anew at the hands of the Convention : and we find mention made of them accordingly, although it is so seldom they are published now u days, that many who take them as cardinal articles of faith, have no very accurate knowledge of their terms or purport. The generalized style of expression which characterizes the Convention's nianib-sio gives a latitude which no doubt it was designed to ■ (rive to various interpretations in different quarters.

Since the sailing of the last steamer but . little of importance has transpired. Our State Legislature, after a long and tedious session of exactly four months, adjourned on Tuesday, tire loth inst. The early part of ! the session was marked with unavoidable de lay ; and even after the seat of government was temporarily removed to a habitable spot, the wheels of"business moved verv slowly, until the Saturday previous to the adjouru i ment. Then followed three memorable days in the history of California Legislation, dur ing which short period some seventy bills, of all descriptions, were hurried through in <rreat confusion. Whatever may be stud of the quantity, the quality of some of them was most detestable. Tat offices for friends rose in a trice all over the State at a wave of : the magic legislative wand. I The Governor was given the appointment | of various unnecessary Hour inspectors to be posted on the coast, l-'or the interior he was allowed to name some twenty-live or thirty friends to take tin* census for- w>th—one to lie located in each county. And in short, a big strike was made to throw democratic officers into every section of the State at no mean stlaries, in view of tin* Presidential campaign. Among the other glorious bills which passed during the confusion, was one giving the ex clusive right to M'-ssrs. Allen & Burn ham to do all the electro-magnetic business that i> to bed tie between our five principal citiesforthe next 1> years, ihe .>80,090 acres ol school lands were given away to speculators at a song.

Rut these appear to ♦ have little effect upon tie miners, who -cm bent upon the work of expulsion, from sta tistics carefully prepared, it appears that the , number of Chinese who arrived here between February, 1848. and May, 1 852. is 11,953. The number that have returned or died is es timated at lh7 : so that that class of our population may be set in round numbers at 12,000. Of these, seven only are women, i In addition to this, large numliers are expect ed. It is proposed in many portions of the indio to sell their claims—give them the pro ceeds, and tell them to leave. The Chinese are of a mild character, and should the Amer icans push matters to the extreme, it is not anticipated that much, ii any. bloodshed will i ensue. In relation to mining operations, the Sac ramento I nion says that the advices frmn all 1 parts of tie- mining districts arc highly favor able. The miners are very generally receiv ing fair remuneration for their labor: and while there are fewer instances of extraordi nary individual fortune, the average yield per man is evidently increasing by the applica tion of science and well constructed machin- ; ••ry. instead of the occupation being, as formerly, a kind of roving, hap-hazard ex cursion, it is now regarded as a regular, le gitimate pursuit, upon which men enter with the same view of permanency and system as upon any other avocation in life. Lnplaceror surface mines, which two years ago, with the imperfect machinery then in use. would not have yielded an income equal to the expense i of living, miners are now making from four to ten dollars per da v. Earth that will yield two cents per bushel, or. "in mining phraseol ogy, a cent a bucket, can lie very profitably worked.
