NEVADA, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 11, 1858, A recent English paper thus describes this huge monopoly. ica, about the 49th degree of latitude, separates the British possessions from those of the United States as faras the head of Lake Superior. Then comes an irregalar crust or strip of land, which ferms the eolony of Canada. vast territory to the north of Canada, and the frontier line, is claimed by the right of ‘‘usage’’ for a very curious compauy of fur traders, We say curious, because unlike other joint stock companies, it has never made a cull; its profits . on the £10,500 originally embarked bave been . 80 enormous, that its capital has been doubled . and trebled, and doubled and trebled again, out of their profits, and now is said to amount to £400,000, paying a fabulous per centege. No one can tell who are the managers, who is its) broker, or where is its transfer office. No one bas ever seen its shares in the market, or ean name the price of its remunerative stock. It has ever opposed colonization, yet demands £87,000 compensation for its outlay in colonizing Vancouvers Island. It was granted acharter ou condition of undertaking expeditions to . discover a northwest passage. Yet in 200 years it sent out but four expeditions of discovery. two of which were organized when it was anxions to renew its exclusive charter. It professes to keep away all settlers fromits domain, lest the Indians should be corrupted by ardent . spirits, yet all the “fire water’? imported is im. ported solely by itself. It is a trading eompany, but ef a very medieval character for even now, in this age of commercial enterprise, it fits out four ships yearly, two to Hudson’s Bay, . and twe te the shore line of the Pacifie to supply wares te the inhabitants of four millions of square miles; precisely one ship of 400 tons to a million of miles! Yet this wonderfully energetic company claims absolute sovereignty over a region larger than Europe, and as extensive as the great Australian continent. What do they do with it? It is refreshing absolutely, in the wreck of monopolies, to find one or two grand old mo. nopolies still renraining with all their selfish attributes intact. The Hudson Bay Company are traders—traders in furs, and the enormous A line drawn across the map of North Amer.

A robbery of $10,000 was perpetrated on hoard the steamer Senator, at 9 o’clock on the morning of July 3d, but it was fortunately dis. covered in time to recover the money and ar. rest one of the thieves. The Bulletin gives the following account of the affair: The Senator, Capt. Thomas W. Seeley, was lying at Pacific street wharf, and was just about to start offon her voyage to Los Angeles and other southera ports. Capt. Seeley went up on deck for the purpose of giving orders to proceed, when he observed two men at a sky-light, and their suspicious actions arrested his attention. As they observed him, one of them shoved something under a table near by, and in a few minutes afterwards both men, running to the . Side of the vessel, jumped off on the wharf. The Captain immediately followed and, with . the aid of special peliceeman Smith, arrested . one of them, whe subsequently gave his name . as Blair ere but who is also known as Henry . Lowry alias fenry ceGray. The other man ' managed to escape and is still at large. Upon going back to the steamer and exam. ining the package which bad been precipitately shoved away, Capt. Seeley found a earpet ba cut open, and a small bag containing $10,000 in gold coin. The money belonged to a native . Californian named Joaquin Cota, who resides at San Luis Obispo, and who had taken passage on the steamer to Santa Barbara. On ex. amining the sky-light and state-room in which . the money had been, it was seen that one of . the thieves had entered the state-room with a . false key, had passed up the carpet bag to hie . companion, and then climbe to the deck . through the sky-light bused? AP anette that . they bad just cut the carpet bag Open, and were . about to dispose of the money, ¥en they were . 80 luckily detected by Capt. Seeley. As soon as these facts were ascertained, Capt. Seeley delayed his ship and proceeded to the statiou. house with his prisoner, whe was confined. . The Principality of Mendocino.

Drago , July ‘ From Lower Cattrornia.—We learn from a} . gentleman just arrived from Lower California, . that Commandante Castro, during the past, . week, shot some five er six Indians and one . hundred dollars were subscribed in San Bernardino and the mail company advanced six hundred dollars towards the object. A correspondent of the Los Angeles Star, writing from San Bernardino, July 13th, says: Mr. Joseph Bridger arrived here on Monday evening, from the Colorado Desert. He says the party who left this place on the 3d ult. for the purpose of digging wells for the stations of the Overland Mail Company, have succeeded beyond their most sanguine expectations, having dug one well only thirty feet. at which depth they had an abundance of good water. The two first stations, at the end of the Desert, have been let by the agents for one year, to Messrs. Carpenter and McCoy of this city; one to be kept at White river, on the edge of the Desert, and about forty miles from this city, the other to be on the Desert fifteen miles, The contractors are busily engaged in preparAT. Daring Robbery at San Francisco—Recovery ing for the erection of houses, stables and corrals, at the above named points, Tut Prorvosen Turrirory or Nevapa.— It was apparent that a very strong feeling prevailed in Congress, before its recent adjournment, in favor of creating seme provisional form of government, either by the grant of a Territorial Aet, or otherwise, for the settlers in Carson Valley; but the pressure of business during the last few weeks of the session, prevented any action on the subject. It will doubtless be considered early in the next session, and seme proper law be passed that will meet the demands of the settlers in this beautiful valley.— Washington Union. ADVENTURES OF AN OLD CALUFORNIAN.—A gentleman of this city has received a letter from Salt Lake, giving a partial account of the adventures of George McDougal, one of the pio. neers of California, and for many years a resident of San Francisco. For the last three years he has not been heard from, and his friends generally believed that he was dead. It appears, however, that after leaving California, he went to Texas. From thence he went to the city of the Saints, at Great Salt Lake. Pending the recent difficalties, he, in company with six other men, attembted to escape from the Mormons. Aceordingly, they set out through the mountains for California. They had net traveled many days when they were suddenly attacked by a large party of Indians. Two of the adventurers were killed on the spot; three escaped, and two were taken prisoners, McDougal being ene ef the latter. He was in the act of firing his gun when his arm was shattered above the elbow by a bullet, and of course he could make no further resistance. He is new, if alive, a prisoner among the Indians of the Rocky Mountains,—S, ¥. Cail. AT THE primary election of Delegates to the Democratic County Convention, at Petaluma, Sonoma County, a Lecomptenite, W. B. Ewing, offered a resolution to ignore the Demoeracy of every faction or party that did not endorse the whole of the administration of James Buchanan. The Popular Sovereignty Democrats showed their cow county education by going the whole hog—that is to say, Mr. Ewing got one vote ont of one hundred and seven.

NEVADA, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 11, 1858, A recent English paper thus describes this huge monopoly. ica, about the 49th degree of latitude, separates the British possessions from those of the United States as faras the head of Lake Superior. Then comes an irregalar crust or strip of land, which ferms the eolony of Canada. vast territory to the north of Canada, and the frontier line, is claimed by the right of ‘‘usage’’ for a very curious compauy of fur traders, We say curious, because unlike other joint stock companies, it has never made a cull; its profits . on the £10,500 originally embarked bave been . 80 enormous, that its capital has been doubled . and trebled, and doubled and trebled again, out of their profits, and now is said to amount to £400,000, paying a fabulous per centege. No one can tell who are the managers, who is its) broker, or where is its transfer office. No one bas ever seen its shares in the market, or ean name the price of its remunerative stock. It has ever opposed colonization, yet demands £87,000 compensation for its outlay in colonizing Vancouvers Island. It was granted acharter ou condition of undertaking expeditions to . discover a northwest passage. Yet in 200 years it sent out but four expeditions of discovery. two of which were organized when it was anxions to renew its exclusive charter. It professes to keep away all settlers fromits domain, lest the Indians should be corrupted by ardent . spirits, yet all the “fire water’? imported is im. ported solely by itself. It is a trading eompany, but ef a very medieval character for even now, in this age of commercial enterprise, it fits out four ships yearly, two to Hudson’s Bay, . and twe te the shore line of the Pacifie to supply wares te the inhabitants of four millions of square miles; precisely one ship of 400 tons to a million of miles! Yet this wonderfully energetic company claims absolute sovereignty over a region larger than Europe, and as extensive as the great Australian continent. What do they do with it? It is refreshing absolutely, in the wreck of monopolies, to find one or two grand old mo. nopolies still renraining with all their selfish attributes intact.

A robbery of $10,000 was perpetrated on hoard the steamer Senator, at 9 o’clock on the morning of July 3d, but it was fortunately dis. covered in time to recover the money and ar. rest one of the thieves. The Bulletin gives the following account of the affair: The Senator, Capt. Thomas W. Seeley, was lying at Pacific street wharf, and was just about to start offon her voyage to Los Angeles and other southera ports. Capt. Seeley went up on deck for the purpose of giving orders to proceed, when he observed two men at a sky-light, and their suspicious actions arrested his attention. As they observed him, one of them shoved something under a table near by, and in a few minutes afterwards both men, running to the . Side of the vessel, jumped off on the wharf. The Captain immediately followed and, with . the aid of special peliceeman Smith, arrested . one of them, whe subsequently gave his name . as Blair ere but who is also known as Henry . Lowry alias fenry ceGray. The other man ' managed to escape and is still at large. Upon going back to the steamer and exam. ining the package which bad been precipitately shoved away, Capt. Seeley found a earpet ba cut open, and a small bag containing $10,000 in gold coin. The money belonged to a native . Californian named Joaquin Cota, who resides at San Luis Obispo, and who had taken passage on the steamer to Santa Barbara. On ex. amining the sky-light and state-room in which . the money had been, it was seen that one of . the thieves had entered the state-room with a . false key, had passed up the carpet bag to hie . companion, and then climbe to the deck . through the sky-light bused?

Daring Robbery at San Francisco—Recovery ing for the erection of houses, stables and corrals, at the above named points, Tut Prorvosen Turrirory or Nevapa.— It was apparent that a very strong feeling prevailed in Congress, before its recent adjournment, in favor of creating seme provisional form of government, either by the grant of a Territorial Aet, or otherwise, for the settlers in Carson Valley; but the pressure of business during the last few weeks of the session, prevented any action on the subject.

ADVENTURES OF AN OLD CALUFORNIAN.—A gentleman of this city has received a letter from Salt Lake, giving a partial account of the adventures of George McDougal, one of the pio. neers of California, and for many years a resident of San Francisco. For the last three years he has not been heard from, and his friends generally believed that he was dead. It appears, however, that after leaving California, he went to Texas. From thence he went to the city of the Saints, at Great Salt Lake. Pending the recent difficalties, he, in company with six other men, attembted to escape from the Mormons. Aceordingly, they set out through the mountains for California. They had net traveled many days when they were suddenly attacked by a large party of Indians. Two of the adventurers were killed on the spot; three escaped, and two were taken prisoners, McDougal being ene ef the latter. He was in the act of firing his gun when his arm was shattered above the elbow by a bullet, and of course he could make no further resistance. He is new, if alive, a prisoner among the Indians of the Rocky Mountains,—S, ¥. Cail.
