The verdict of the Coroner’s Inquest was, “Died by a pistol discharged by his own hand.” About the 6th of December, 1854, John Brown was injured by the falling of a timber, and on the 11th of January, five weeks afterwards, the County Physicians, Dr. H. Hunt and Dr. Alban, were directed by the . County Judge to take charge of the patient, who had previously been under the charge of Dr. Von Poellnitz, The County Physicians decided that the patient was suffering from an wnreduced dislocation of the left hip joint.

Only two or three of the party, we understand, had pistols, and the attack was so entirely unexpected anu simultaneous, that each one of them at the same mo ment found the muzzle of a gun presented to bis breast. _ Unable to make the least resistance, the five were immediately hurried from thé trail about half a mile where they were bound to trees by the robbers, who then proceeded to rifle their pockets and saddle bags. About $18 000 express treasure in charge of Mr. Brastow was first seized. Mr. Hickman was then despoiled of about five thousand dollars, his entire for tune. Mr. Rosencrars was robbed of some $1,200 and every man in the party was despoiled of his last dol lar, except Mr. Rosencrans, who had two purses, one . of which, containing about $160, was overlooked by . the thieves. The robbers were all clothed with red shirts and red drawersand their faces entirely covered by masks. The captives, however, judged from their dialect, that the gang consisted of two Americans, # Mexican, a Germanand a Frenchman. : The robbers after tying their captives to trees, drove off their mules and were soon out of sight. Mr. Delap then succeeded in quickly freeing himself from . his bonds, and, untying his companions the "waole . party followed the robbers who had again taken the . trail and were proceeding up the mountain. Taking a circuitous course, Mr. Brastow and his companions . got ahead of the robbers, and concealing themselves, saw the latter pass with their booty. The thicves . soon left the trail and Mr. Brastow remained in the vicinity to trace them if possible, while others of the party came to Shasta. On their arrival with the intelligence, a number of men immediately assembled here to give chase, although we think they have little chance of finding either the thieves or the booty. It has always been to us a matter of wonder that the Express messengers on our mountain routes have so long escaped being robbed,—riding as they do at all time« of the day and night, frequently entirely alone and over the most lonesome trails in California, and this fact well known to the desperate gang of eut-throats and thieves which are now, and hare so long infested tho Northern ceuntry. LATER—THE PUR-UIT. Yesterday morning several of the gentlemen who . left this place on Wednesday evening in pursuit of the robbers returned, having followed the track about thirty miles. Mr. Loag, who was one of the company, jstates that they stopepd that night at Mr. Brown's . Mountain House, some 38 miles from Shasta, and the . next morning started upon the trail of the robbers. The footsteps of the mules were tracked some 15 miles where they had abandoned them. They found r They did not continue to track the mules, but followed the robbers and trailed them to a point on Clear creek, about a mile above Parker’s at the foot of Trinity Mountain, . making abont thirty-five miles where the tracks wero . clearly visible.

But after the battle of Waterloo, ;and after the close of the war with the United States, John Bull turned from Chivalry toa Costermonger. This change was mainly owing to the gigantic strides the United States were making as a com: mercial power. Liberality with this change characterized all the actions of the home government in regard to its pos. sessions abroad. It granted all Canada and Nova Scotia asked, even to seriously . threatening the amicable relations which existed with the United States. It has ,also been very liberal to Australia, grant;ing all she asked. But while Great Britain . has been liberal to its foreign possessions, it has pursued a directly opposite course jtowards Ireland. To that poor nation .

Losing all patience, they again informed the County Judge of the difficulty they had with him and of the utter impossibility of doing any thing for him. The Judge then discharged them from further attendance on the patient. A few months later, urged on no donbt by some malicious individuals, Brown singled out Dr. Harvey Hunt against whom he instituted a suit for mal-practice in a case of “Dis location of left hip joint and also a fracture of the bone immediately below it,’ Dr. Von Poellnitz having treated the case for several weeks for this injury. This suit for mal-prac: tice has never been brought on for trial, though Dr. Hunt has always been anxious to have it brought on, and has steadily refused all offers of a compromise. As soon as Dr. H. Hunt was informed of the suicide of Brown, he immediately insisted upon haying that hip joint dissected, which by request of the County Judge in connection with Justice Niles, the Coroner, was performed by Drs.

Only two or three of the party, we understand, had pistols, and the attack was so entirely unexpected anu simultaneous, that each one of them at the same mo ment found the muzzle of a gun presented to bis breast. _ Unable to make the least resistance, the five were immediately hurried from thé trail about half a mile where they were bound to trees by the robbers, who then proceeded to rifle their pockets and saddle bags. About $18 000 express treasure in charge of Mr. Brastow was first seized. Mr. Hickman was then despoiled of about five thousand dollars, his entire for tune. Mr. Rosencrars was robbed of some $1,200 and every man in the party was despoiled of his last dol lar, except Mr. Rosencrans, who had two purses, one . of which, containing about $160, was overlooked by . the thieves. The robbers were all clothed with red shirts and red drawersand their faces entirely covered by masks. The captives, however, judged from their dialect, that the gang consisted of two Americans, # Mexican, a Germanand a Frenchman. : The robbers after tying their captives to trees, drove off their mules and were soon out of sight. Mr. Delap then succeeded in quickly freeing himself from . his bonds, and, untying his companions the "waole . party followed the robbers who had again taken the . trail and were proceeding up the mountain. Taking a circuitous course, Mr. Brastow and his companions . got ahead of the robbers, and concealing themselves, saw the latter pass with their booty. The thicves . soon left the trail and Mr. Brastow remained in the vicinity to trace them if possible, while others of the party came to Shasta. On their arrival with the intelligence, a number of men immediately assembled here to give chase, although we think they have little chance of finding either the thieves or the booty. It has always been to us a matter of wonder that the Express messengers on our mountain routes have so long escaped being robbed,—riding as they do at all time« of the day and night, frequently entirely alone and over the most lonesome trails in California, and this fact well known to the desperate gang of eut-throats and thieves which are now, and hare so long infested tho Northern ceuntry. LATER—THE PUR-UIT. Yesterday morning several of the gentlemen who . left this place on Wednesday evening in pursuit of the robbers returned, having followed the track about thirty miles. Mr. Loag, who was one of the company, jstates that they stopepd that night at Mr. Brown's . Mountain House, some 38 miles from Shasta, and the . next morning started upon the trail of the robbers. The footsteps of the mules were tracked some 15 miles where they had abandoned them.

But after the battle of Waterloo, ;and after the close of the war with the United States, John Bull turned from Chivalry toa Costermonger.

Losing all patience, they again informed the County Judge of the difficulty they had with him and of the utter impossibility of doing any thing for him. The Judge then discharged them from further attendance on the patient. A few months later, urged on no donbt by some malicious individuals, Brown singled out Dr. Harvey Hunt against whom he instituted a suit for mal-practice in a case of “Dis location of left hip joint and also a fracture of the bone immediately below it,’ Dr. Von Poellnitz having treated the case for several weeks for this injury. This suit for mal-prac: tice has never been brought on for trial, though Dr. Hunt has always been anxious to have it brought on, and has steadily refused all offers of a compromise. As soon as Dr. H. Hunt was informed of the suicide of Brown, he immediately insisted upon haying that hip joint dissected, which by request of the County Judge in connection with Justice Niles, the Coroner, was performed by Drs. Carmen and Knox. The head of the thigh bone was removed and being cleaned showed conclusively that the bone was not and never had been fractured, and that the diagnosis of the County Physicians was cérrect, it being a case af dislocation.
