A great quantity of goods, designed for exhibition, have already arrived from abroad,and are stored in the United States bonded warehouses. Over 4000 applications from this country alone; while those from Europe number about 3000, of which 700 are from ngland, 800 from Germany, and 500 from France. Une Arrarre D'Honnevr.—On Saturday morning last another affair of honor occurred amongst our editorial brethren uptheriver. The parties were Col. Rust, of the Marysville Express, and O. P.

Attempr to Commit Svicipe.--A young man, while laboring under great depression of spirits, produced by ill-fortune and the failure of all his expectations, attempted night before last to put an end to his iife by taking a large amountoflaudanum. His situation was . discovered in time, and by a lively use of the stomach pump, and other remedies; the physicians succeeded in resuscitating him.—-Herald, 11th. Sap AccipEnT.—On yesterday morning John Clary, an industrious laborer of this city, while engaged in excavating a cistern at the corner of Dupont and Vallejo streets, was suddenly killed by the caving in of the bank, which was composed of clayer soil so hard and compaet that it seemed to have crushed his breast bone, causing almost instant death. The deceased was 4 native of Ireland, late from Sydney, and aged about forty-five years. He leayes a widow and eight children and in a helpless condition, be-~ ing entirely without. the present means of livelihood. Their destitution and the circumstances of the case strongly recs ommend them as fitting objects for the charity of the benevolent. An inquest was held shortly after the fatal occurrence, the jury rendering a verdict in accordance with the facts.— Herald 11th. A Doe Footep.—It is known that our neighbors Chase & Co, havea variety of castings displayed in front of their shop in Post Office Avenue, and among them a number of dogs. Yesterday a large dog came up to one of the images, and held a brief parley in that mute language in which dogs most do con. } . . A Rn nnn GugernatorniaL Canpipates.—The Whigs have as yet brought the name of no gentleman very prominently before the country as a candidate for Gubernatoral honors. We have heard it intimated Major Reading would again be brought forward by his party in the event that Gov. Bigler is re~nominated by the Democratic Convention. It is also suid that David F. Douglass, Marshal of. the Northern district under the late admine istration, is working for the position.— Capt. Waldo will also be a prominent candidate before the Whig State Convention for the nomination. We are of the opinion that this gentleman would make a better run before the people than any other man the Whigs could select. We think him honest and capable, and trust that he may receive the nomination. We de not believe that Major Reading desires to be run again, and as for Mr. Douglass, he stands no sort of show to be elected, even if he should be selected by hisparty as its standard bearer.in the coming contest. Shasta Courier. Givine THE Acug Fits.—An Arkansas paper chronicles a matrimonial conjunction thas: Marrirp.—In Wilmington, on the 18th inst. by Jas. London, Esq., Henry L. Ague to Caroline M. Fits. We have often heard people threaten to give others fits, but never knew one before embracing them Vvoluntarily.— We should not be surprised to learn that several little sHaxes followed this conjunction. The population of Japan is guessed to be fifty millions. The negro population of New York is said to be on the increase. Fifteen hundred houses are to be torn down in New York after the first of May. Matrimony is exceedingly prevalent in Boston, this spring, says the Trans~ script. A diorama of the Career of Napoleon Bonaparte is one of the newest shows in England. lt has made a hit. : In 1838 corporeal punishment was in. flicted in the English army 879 times ; in 1852, 96 times. ‘One ‘hour in the bath,’ Napoleon vérse, bat getting no response from ironvisage, and bethinking to himself that it was the Ist of April, he dropped his tail, an2 went off—in the direction of . used to say, ‘refreshes me more than the Common.— Boston Courier.

Loss oy THE CriprpeR Snip Carrier Picton.—Tuesday afternoon, says the Times & Transcript, a dispatch reached town announcing the stranding, on the night of June 6th, of the clipper ship Carrier Pigoon, from Boston Lr 28th. Captain Doane dispatched three Spaniards on horseback witha note to the consignee, Mr. 8. C. Shaw, the purport of which is that the ship had bilged and would bea total loss.

He who basely imposes upon the honest heart of an unsuspecting girl, and after winning her esteem and affections by the soft and prevailing rhetoric of courtship, can ungenerously leave her to sorrow and complaining, is more. detestable than a common robber, in the same proportion as private treachery is more villainous than open force, and money of less concern than happiness. Wii's, Woxt’s anv Cant’s.—There are three kinds of men in this wotld— the ‘“‘will’s’’’ the. “‘wonts,’ and the “cants.” The former effect everything, the other oppose everything, and the latter fail in everything.

A Rn nnn GugernatorniaL Canpipates.—The Whigs have as yet brought the name of no gentleman very prominently before the country as a candidate for Gubernatoral honors. We have heard it intimated Major Reading would again be brought forward by his party in the event that Gov. Bigler is re~nominated by the Democratic Convention. It is also suid that David F. Douglass, Marshal of. the Northern district under the late admine istration, is working for the position.— Capt. Waldo will also be a prominent candidate before the Whig State Convention for the nomination. We are of the opinion that this gentleman would make a better run before the people than any other man the Whigs could select. We think him honest and capable, and trust that he may receive the nomination. We de not believe that Major Reading desires to be run again, and as for Mr. Douglass, he stands no sort of show to be elected, even if he should be selected by hisparty as its standard bearer.in the coming contest.
