It makes Rte glad to-hear those cannon; they remind me of the time when I was a soldier. Yes, I am glad to hear them—this is a great (My for California." Then, recollecting . himself, he sat 'down, the tears streaining from .his eyes... The members with one accord, gave three turanituous cheers, which were, herird•frOin one end of the-toill to the other. As'the Signing went on, gun sfolrow ed gun from the fort, the echoes reverberating grandly around the hay, till finally, as the loud ring of the thirty : firat was -herd, there was a shout : "That's for California r and every one join ed in giving three times three for the new and glo rious star added to our confederation., There was one handsome act I Intuit not forget to mention. The Captain of the English bark. Vol -P unteer, of Sidney, Australia. lying in the larbor, sent on shore in the morning for an American flag, When the first gun was heard, a line of colors ran fluttering up to the spars, the stars and stripes fly ing triumphantly front the main-top. - The com pliment was more marked. since some of the- Atherican vessels neglected to give any recognition to the event of the day. The Constitution having been sig,ned and the Convention dissolved, the members proceeded in-a body to the house of Gen. Riley. The visit was evidently unexpected by the old veteran. When he truide his appearance Captilin Sutter stepped forynard, and having shaken him by the hand, drew himself into an erect attitude, raised one hand to' ma breast as if he were making a report to his cum mending officer on the field of battle, and address ed him as follows: . on the field of Contreras. I thank coo all from Inv heart. I am satisfied now that the people have done right in selecting Delegates to frame a constitution. They have chosen a body of men upon whom our country may look with pride you have, framed a constitution worthy of California. And I have no fear for California while the people choose their Representativezi so wisely. They will do_it ; this convention has convinced me that the people can and will act right. Gentlemen, I congratulate you upon the successful conclusion of your arduous la bors; and I wish you all happiness and prosper- The General was here interrupted with three hearty cheers which the members gave him, as Governor of California, followed by three more "a.s a gallant soldier and worthy of his country's glory." He then concluded in the following word; : " I have but one thing to add, gentlemen. and that is, that my success in the affairs of California is mainly owing to the efficient aid rendered me by Capt. Halleck, the 'Secretary of State. He has stood by rue in all emergencies. To him I have always appealed when at a loss myself ; and be leis never failed me." " This recognition of Capt. Halleck's talents and the signal service he has rendered to our -authori ties here, since the conquest, was peculiarly just and appropriate. It_was so felt by the members, and they responded with equal warmth of feeling by giving three enthusiastic cheers for the Secre tary of State. They then took their leave, many of them being axious to - gtart this afternoon for their various places of retidenc& All were in a happy and satisfied mood, and nole less so than the na tive member's. Pedrorena declared that this was the most fortunate day in the history of California. Even 'Cara), in the beginning one of our most zeal ous opponents, displayed 'a genuine zeal for the Constitution which -he helped to frame, under the law 4 of our Republic, Thus closes the Convention; and I cannot help saving,-with Capt. Sutter, that the day which sees laid the broad and liberal foundation of a Free and Independent §tate on the shores of the Pacific, is a great day - for California.- As an American, I feel proud and happy—proud, that the Empire of the West., the commerce of the great Pacific, the new highwat to the Indians, forming the last link in that heft of civilized enterprise which now clasps the world, has been establishetkander any country's Sag ; and happy, that in a the extent of Califor ma, from the glittering snows of' the Shasti to the burning deserts of the Colorado, no slave shall ever. lift his arm to make the freedom of that flag a mockery. The members of the Convention may have made some blunders in the course of their deliberations ; there may be some objectionable chimes in the Constitution they have framed. Bat where was there ever a body convened, under such pec,uliar circumstances l'—where was ester such harmony evolved out of so wonderful, so dangerous, so mag nificent a chaos? The elements of which the Con vention was composed were np less various, and in some respects antagonistic, than those combined in the mining population. Thequestions they -Lad to settle were often perplexing, from the remarkable position of the country and:the absence of all pree edent. Beside, many of them were Men unuSed to Some had for years past "'mown no other life than that of the'eamp, others had nearly forgotten all law hi the wild life of the mountains: others agairrwere familiar only with that practiced tiederibe rule ;of a different race..

Soon after starting we net Messrs.Tefit and Marcy re turning to Monterey, with printed copies of the constitution in English and Spanish, for distribu tion in the South. • Our next incident was the dis covery of three grisly bears, on the side of a cana da, about a quarter of a mile distant, We had no other arms than 'pistols and knives, and no fleet, horses; an attack, therefore, would not have been safe. Indeed, the eldest hunter, when he meets a grisly bear, prefers making a boy's bargain--" If you'll let me alone: let yaw alone." They are . rarely known to attae.k it. man whets unprovoked, but-when wounded no Indian tiger is more tumid— able.

From the ridge - descending to :the valley of the San Jose we overtook them. The meadows were still green, and the belts of stately sycamore had not yet shed aleaf.
