JOSHUA T- OWEN, THE BRITISH,CABIN£T, Having already given a list of the principal members of the British Government, with the offices they till and the salaries theyrecoive, we purpose now to stato ’somo personal par ticulars, necessarily brief, but sufficient, re specting tho individuals who form the Cabinet, or actual governing power of the British Em pire.' ’ ; iFirst'of all, lit, us sce what the Cabinet ao tnally is. The required information is supplied by Voi’s Parliamentary Companion, published annually ever since the passing of the Beform Bill, in 1832., -it. supplies hot onlyfult per jonslinfornmtionrelatlvotpoveryjeomberof. &^Bnfisli'P l ariilmil!ni, r (£{)ras'aiid'Cidmmons,) but also contains lucid explanations of parlia mentary terms and proceedings. Mr. Charles R. Hod, its original founder and. editor, was a reporter on the Time j newspaper, in London, and happily formed tho idea of this little work, which (containing explicit information from tho persons named in it, with additional facts devciopod by tlio public career of each) is taken as standard authority in England, and universally referred to by newspaper writers and politicians there, as supplying accurate data* This Mr. Dob, wo may as well mention, was the great life-taker, or biographer,of the Times, for many yearis. There was scarcely any pub lic man of note, in England, of whom, on tho chance of his death, Mr. Don had not prepared a biographical notice in advance. He kept them « cut and dry,” ready to bo used at a moment's notice, with a suitable heading and ending, on the samoday which would announce the demise of the individual.* Thus, when,the Duke of Wellington died (September 14,1862) the intelligence did not reach London until about 7 V. M.jfcut tho Timet of tbe next morn ing came out with twolvo or fourteen columns of an admirable biography, giving tbe Duke's military career, following it up, the day after, with a second part, of equal length, in which tho great man's civil services were fully re corded. All tbo world wondered at this. The fact was the Memoir had been mainly prepared ten years before, and its writer had only to throw in the later incidents of his life. Tho some writer had prepared a Memoir of Rogers, the poet, but,died some years beforo Rogers. His son now.conducta tho Parliamentary Com panion. On the subject of tho British Cabinet, Don says t • • a “The government of a state or community is understood to signify the exercise , of supremo authority, and includes the executive, the legisla tive, and tbe jddioial powers; but in popular ac ceptation it means only the first of thoso, the higher and more immediate functions of whioh Are. exercised by the Cabinet, a soloet body of whom, for tho time being,' tho whole of the royal authority is vested. Its members all belong to the Privy Council, hut do not includo a tithe of that body* The Cabinet is composed of the .more emi nent portion of the Administration, but it does not constitute mqf o than a fourth part of those whom a change of ministry deprives of offioe, the persons included in that council being rarely less than ton or more than fifteen. The Cabinet being rnoro immediately responsible for tho conduct of public affairs, their deliberations are always considered confidential, and kept secret even from their col leagues, who are less exalted in offioe. The distin guished individual who fills the situation of First Lord of the Treasury, and combined with it some times that of Chancellor of tho Exchequer, is tho chief of tho ministry, and therefore of tho Cabi net; he is usually styled, the ‘Premier,' or ‘Prime. Minister,' but moro properly designated as ‘tho head of her Majesty's Government.’ It is at his immediate recommendation that his colleagues are appointed; and, with hardly an exception, he dis penses tho patronage of the Crown. Every Cnbi i net includes tho following high offioers: The First Lord of tho Treasury, tho Lord Chancellor, tbo Lord President of tho Council, tho Lord Privy Seal, the Chancellor of tbo Exchequer, and tho four Secretaries of Stato. Several othor minis terial functionaries, however, have soats in the 1 Cabinet never less than threo, ond rarely so many as eight or nino of this latter class, aro called to tbabstQtlon. Their ofiicos are as follows: Ohiof Commissioner of Woods and Forests, Cbancollor of tho Duchy of Lancaster, First Lord of tho Admi ralty, President of tho Board of Control, President of the Board of Trade, Socrotnry at War, Paymas ter-General of tbo Forces, Master of tho Mint, Judge Advocate General, Postmaster General, Master General of tho Ordnance, Chief Secretary for Ireland, Chief Justice of tho Queen’s Bonch. The first Lord EUenhorough was the laßt Chief Justioo who hold a soat in the Cabinot; having withdrawn from the Administration, ho afterwards expressed his disapprobation of the practice. Tho selection usually falls upon those amongst the lat ter mentioned functionaries, whoso rank, talents, reputation, and political weight, render them tho most useful auxiliaries, or whoso sorviecs, while in opposition, may have created tho strongest claims to the honors of tho Cabinot. It has occasionally happenodthat a peer possessing higher character and influonoo neceps a seat in tbo Cabinot without undertaking the labors and responsibility of any particular offico,’ Although tho select council has now boon regarded during severnl generations as an essential port of our polity, yet it still contin ues to bo unknown to tho law. Tho names of the noblemen and gentlemen who composo it aro never officially announced to tho public. No record ib kopt of its resolutions or mootings/ nor has its ex istence ever been recognised by any act of Par liament.” ' ’ • Tho present Cabinet consists of fifteen No blomcn and Commoners, Tho fttet tbftfc Ml* PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1857.

CALIFORNIA NEWS BY THE LOST STEAMER CENTRAL AMERICA. Wo are indebted to our friend, W- M. Reese Esq., of California, for a copy of the “San Francisco News-Letter” containing tho Cali fornia news from the sth to tho 20th of August, from which we make up the following highly interesting summary. Tho letter containing this information was forwarded by tbo ill-fated steamer “Tho Central Amorica,” and bears the following inscription upon tho envelope; « Saved by the bearer, Lilly Birch, ‘The Min strel,' who came in the Central America, and who sacrificed his all, preserving this, with other letters, which he deemed might be invaluable,” Wo return our best tbanks to tho gallant min- Btrel, and hopo ho may live long and sing nightly to grateful and gratified audiences. Tho intelligence from California, besides being of a most Interesting character," is aus picious in tho’ extreme. Tho influx of emi gration, the discovory of new gold placers, tho rapid development of the cereal products of tbe soil, tho successful effort to protect tho credit of the Stato, and the healthy tono of the business interests, are cheering signs for tho future—and wo hopo will not be darkened by tho gloom which has settled upon the Atlantic States. Philadelphia readers will be amused at the graphic sketch of the now book of Hon. E. McGowan, (woll known as Med McGowan in Southwark,) in which ho gives an account of his hair-breadth 'scapes by flood and field, while biding from the process of the celebrated Vigilance Committee: Solomon Cohen has been personating an in dividual of tho same narao at Wolls, Fargo & Co.’s express offioe, and receiving a latter containing a draft for $2,400 on Messrs.. Gather A Church, en dorsing said draft and reooiving tbo money. Ho has been committed to prison. Tho forgery was discovered by the application of tho real owuor of the draft at tho banking houso of Sathor & Church, who promptly paid tho money ovor again. It is yet to be hoped tho amount may bo recovered; for although 8.

An early riser informs tho “ Alta” that whilst swimming at sun-rise nonr Meigs’ wharf at North Boaoh, ho encountered throe or four ladies indulging in tho iner-maid luxury of sea-bathing. Thoy wore much alarmed, and hastily gathering up thoir clothes, rah out of tho water to a neighbor ing hotel—no doubt wishing to the intruders tho fate of Aoteon, who was turned very properly into a stag for frightening tho nymphs at tho Bath of Diana. On Tuesday tho 11th, another ludlorous fright occurred to a number of persons at Wnshor- Woman’s Boy, who were enjoying a marine dip at an early hour, and were surprised at some living objeat coming towards them. When first dis covered, the monster was within fifty yards, and rapidly approaohlng. Its appearance wasfluffioient to provoke fright, and ft run for tho shore was tho consequence. Somo of tho bathors soon forgot thoy wore without clothing, and ran a quarter of amilo down tho boaoh. On approaching the shore tho monster was found to be-a large hog, which had, doubtless, jumped overboard from some vessel in _ the bay! *> . The cathdvis, or Spanish fly, is a nativo of California.

Tho Chief of Polico reported to the Board of Supervisors, on tho 11th inßt., tho number of arrests during tho six months ending July 30th, to have boon 2,411, ofwhich 110 were females; 60 of these wero inaano, and'99 were lodgers and desti tute persons accused of no crimo, 11 wero accused of murder, 13 of mayhem, 1 of arson, 50 assault with intent to kill, 15‘for gambling, 6 for high-way robbery, 05 grand laroeny, 170 petty larocny, and tho bnlimco for other offences. Thoy wore disposed of as follows: 1,18-1 discharged; 1,012 fined or im prisouod; 97 sent to tho Court of Sessions for trial; 91 sent to other counties; 16 placed under bonds to keep the peace, and 4 sent to sed. During the six months 70 convicts from other counties passed through tho oity on their way to tho State Prison. An extremely rich and extensive mine of cinnabar, or quicksilver, has beon discovered in Plumas county, in a valley lying between Indian and Beokworth valley. Every preparation is being made to work it immediately. By the latest accounts from Carson valley, on immense immigration will certainly arrive this season across the Plains. Tho expeoted numbers, many tbink, will bo an incroaso to tho population of our State of at loast forty thousand persons, and who are now on the ore of entering our borders. About twenty of tho most incorrigible thieves in the oity were exhibited in the Plaza by the polioe. Tho exhibition was froo, and was well attendod by as many as three thousand citizens. They wore fastened, two by two, to a rope, which extended about thirty yards. Tho victims of so much sorutiny and curiosity by the oitizeus ex hibited various phases of obaraotor and disposi tion ; some wero immonsoiy savage mid threaten ing; othors wero amiable, and inclined to bo sociable, and othors again wore not iacUaed to bo recognised, keeping tuoir faces concealed as much as possiblo. Tho object of tho show was that peo plo generally might seo these oharaotera and be able to rocognise them on future occasions. Mr. Jamos Curtis, chief of polioe, being called to ac count for this, wliut tho Herald terms an unlawful and despotic act, and to romovo tho aspersions oast upon him, says: "Thoy wero men who live by robbery and stealth—burglars and house-thieves, pick-pockets and reooivera—who havo been at rcstod time and again; somotimes convicted, and serving thoir aontenoos in jail; more frequently paying their fines from their stolen money, to be again at liberty to dupo somo unsuspecting strauger, or force an insecuro houso.

Tho system of show ing up had its origin In England, and has since been round benofloial by the police authorities of Now York, Boston, and other large cities of tho Union and of Europo.” T he deficiency in tho Mint for the last twelve months’ operatlou is ascertained to be 3152,559.27 above tho amouut allowed by law, for wnsto.

No man bus ever takon tbo obligation without knowing what ho was about.

Mr. Hall stated, in a communication to .the Postmaster General, which was referred to this office, that, as a mail contrac tor, he had necessarily made, several- improve ments oh the lands of the Kansas Indians; upon Which communication a report was made to the -Secretary of the Interior, to the effect that, while t te intercourse law gave no express authority .to o tixfeCS of the United States to go on and reside a nong the Indian tribes, except under certain c rcumstanees specified-by law, yet it-.did forbid a ,c tizen from driving or otherwise conveying ‘any s ock of Bowes, mules, or csttle to Tange or feed op any‘ land belonging to any Indian or Indian tribe, without the consent of suoh tribe ;* but that Mr. Hall being in the country, engaged ift tho public service, thi3 office would be pleased to do all t£afc the law allowed to facilitate the discharge ot his duties and to accommodate the, Bostmastor general; and, so os he confined himself to mere residence and occupancy of the improvements, which he had already made with the consent of tpe Indians, no '.difficulty would be thrown iu his way; but that no authority existed under which per mission coaid be granted to extend Bis improve ments, make use of the timber, or cultivate land. » “ This office was then requested by tho Secre tary to re-oxaniino tho matter in connection with the law passed by Congress on the 3d of March, 1855, with respect to contractors for carrying the ipail through any of the Territories west of the Mississippi, and reported,according to its construc tion of the provision, 1 that each contractor en gaged or to be engaged iu carrying the moils through any of the Territories west of the Mis sissippi shall have the privilege of occupying sta tions, at the rate of not more than quo for every twenty tniles of tho route on whioh he carries a mail, and shall have u pre-emption right therein, then the same shall be brought into market, to the extent. of six hundred and fortv acres, to be taken contiguously and to include 'hfe improve ments.’ It had reference only to thoso lands to the Indian title had been extinguished and surrendered to the United States, and not lands belonging to tribes, to which the titles had not been, extinguished, and therefore was not applica ble to the case of Mr. Hall, as his station w is upon tho lands of the Kansas Indians, to which their title had not been extinguished. I havo cited in fall tho views of the Indian Office in regard to tho right-; *>f Mr. Bill, lbi! deem the same views applicable in this instance, which I bftTe the honor to submit, together with a cony of the agent’s letter, that such steps may bo taken as in your judgmont may be advisable and proper. , u Very respectfully, your obedient servant. . ■ “Cuas. E. Mix, “Acting Commissoner of Indian Affairs. “ Hon. J. Twohmoh, “Secretary of the Interior.” A Terrible Butchery. the Evansville (Ind.) Journal, 19th.] | .\Vo are indebted to Dr. Keller, who came in ;from Princeton yesterday, for some of the particu lars of the mo3t shocking butchery of which wo diftve yet heard in these times of personal violence and bloody crimes. On Thursday evening, at Francisco, a village on the canal, in Gibson county, about sixteen miles from this city, aparty of young persons were assembled for practice in ringing. A crowd of rowdies soon gathered around the house, and began to makeudisturbance to annoy or break up the singing party. Tho young men in the house, • among whom were two sons or Mr. Perkins, the owner of alftTge flour mill in the village, with their brother-in-law, a Mr Crow, camo to the door either to drive away the disturbers, or persuade them to be quiet. A fight ensued in whieh one of the young Per kinses was stabbed and killed on the spot; the other woa stabbed between tbo shoulders and badhU throat out, and though living when the messenger left, he was not expected to survive. Toung Cross was also stabbed, and had his tongue cut out by thq murderous savages. If there ho no exaggeration in the talo of the informant, who was on the spot, and was the messenger despatched to Princeton for a surgeon; it woe one of the most bloody trage dies ever enacted in Southern Indiana.
