From California. --By a late arrival of the Pony Express, the Northern papers have advices from San Francisco to the 7th inst.: The news that ten thousand troops are to be enlisted in California to protect the Overland Emigrant Route, has started up a good deal of military enthusiasm in all the towns, in the absence of the arrival of instructions as to how this force is to be organized. There will probably be difficulty in enlisting the number of men, though most of our soldiers are disappointed that the call is not made for troops to serve in active war, as it exists, than to perform monotonous duty on the plains. The new Sunday law, which requires all places of amusement where liquors are sold to be closed on the Sabbath, was not strictly observed on the day when it was to begin to take effect.

Further from Europe.News by the steamer Canada. The advices by the steamer Canada are to the 10th inst. We append a telegraphic summary of the news: European political affairs are unimportant. The aspect of American affairs claim undivided attention. The London Times, in an editorial, takes the recent speech endeavored to effect the ruin of innocent commerce to enforce the validity of a blockade which it is manifestly incompetent to maintain.

ice, &c., by running the blockade.--At St. John, New Brunswick, also, we learn that the sympathies of the people are largely in favor of the Secessionists, and that the ship Alliance will soon leave that port for Charleston, where she is mostly owned. It will be recollected that the Alliance sailed from England several months since, with part of a cargo of munitions of war, but on arriving off Charleston bar, was ordered away, when she proceeded to St. John, New Brunswick, arriving there in June, and has since remained with the contraband on board.
