We have any received from the foreign journals a general account of the robbery of a caravan by Arabs on the road from Damascus, and more. recent. letters from d to the Press d’Orient, give the following details: When distant about five daye’ journey from Hit, a little village on the Euphrates, the caravan going from Damascus to Bagdai lost the track and were bewildered. This was about the middle of July. The caravan consisted of about 400 persons, 1700 camels, and 1200 packages of merchandise, three-fourths of which belonged to the merchants of Damascus, and the remainder to Bagdad. Net knowing what direction to take, and having been short of water for several days, it was decided to unload all the camels and sené@ them off that very night, under the charge of four servants, to seek fer any wells of water which "hme might be near, the finding of which might at the same time lead to the recovery of the lost track. The camel drivers accordingly set off with their charge. For several days the travelers remained encamped around the bales of merchandise thus exposed in the desert, anxiously awaiting the return of the camels with their four drivers. Their provisions meanwhile sensibly diminished, and rations were preportionably lessened, particularly the supply of water, of which there remained a very ecanty amount in the remaining skins, The camel drivers, after three days vain search, not being able to find even the place where they had left their companions, at length saw their camels, broken down with fatigue and thirst, dying from hour to heur in the desert, while others, rendered furious by their sufferings fled from their charge in all directions. Despair likewise seized upon the drivers, and they also fled, they knew not whither. Two ef them thus perished with heat aud thirst. Happily the two others found their way to the village of Hit. In the meanwhile three Arab Anezis accidentally finding the encampment, offered to farnish the caravan with the necessary camels to transport their goods as far as Hit, demanding asa reward, in advance payment of twenty thousand piastres. A few of the travellers finally accompanied these Arabs three days’ journey to the encampinent of their tribe, where they tried to make a definite agreement as to the sum to be given for the service, gradually raising their offer from 300 piasters up to 1200. This the Arabs ene ESE eS Se ee Se WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 9 1857, — es-—40—e eeeeeee Loss of the Russian Man-of-War Lefort. The Journal de St, Petersburg, of October Ist, publishes the following details of the loss of the Russian ship-of-the-line Lefort, already anneunced. The disaster happened on the morning of the 22d ef September : “It has pleased Providence I sheuld _particiate in one of the greatest disasters that can appen at sea, and to make me a witness of the instantaneous and inexplicable less of one of the vessels in my fleet, A few minutes have sufficed for a beautiful ehip-of-the-line, thoroughly sea-worthy, to be engulphed by the waves during a tempestuous night, Not a cry of distress reached us from the scene of the disastcr, although we were but four cables’ length distant to windward. Not one survives to explain to us the cause of this unparalleled catastrophe. ‘ “On the 28th of August (September 9th) four ships-of-the-line—the Imperatrice Alexandra, the Viadimir, the Lefort, of 84 guns, and the Pamiat Asova, of 74 gnus, which were in the Point of Revei—received orders to arm and return te Cronstadt. Ten days afterwards the Pamiat Aseva quitted the reads, towed by a . steam frigate. The three other vessels were ready to set sail two days later, they kad water and provisions for a mouth, and their stowage was the same as at the end of their cruise in the preceding year; the Lefort was thoroughly repaired at Cronstadt in 1852. I had received instructions to profit by the favorable weather te set sail, withont waiting for the steam-tugs. On the 9th of September (21st) I got under sail with beautiful weather and a favorable breeze from S. S. W., the barometer making 29 79 Eiglish. A little later the wind freshened, and abreast of the Island of Rothskar we were oblgto take in two reefs in the top-sails. “At balf past eight, p.m, after passing the Island of Hochland, the fleet was making more than clever knots. The wind increasing, I or. dered a third, and then a fourth reef to be taken in. The barometer being at 29 15, and weather foggy, we sailed as close as possible to the wind, endeavoring to keep our course by short tacks until morning; each time I gave the signal for the manceuver. At half past eleven the wind shifted to the west, at midnight to the northwest, and at four o’clock to the north, with squalls and snow, At daybreak we were near refused. They then offered one-half the value of . the Island of Grand Tuters, The fleet was on the goods in order to save the remainder. This the starboard tack, the Imperatrice Alexandra offer had no better success. The tribe at length a little to the windward, and the Viadimir in pretending to have a grudge against the Agihls . the wake of the Lefort, with four reefs in her who escorted the caraven, refused all aid, and top-sail. insisted on marching to avenge themselves upon! ‘At 4 distance of five miles trem Tuters, we these last, whose numbers barely reached two . veered; during our maneuver the Lefort aphundred inall, peared to us as if wishing te veer; suddenly a Returning to their companions the party re. violent squall laid her on her side.

The immediate crime for was arrested was the murder of one Charlee Richards, of Port Robinson, C. W., on the 18th of Oct. 1854." The prisoner alleged, in his application for post tof his trial, ‘that he had written te California fer evidence to prove that he was then a resident, of Chips’ Flat, and engaged in sinking a shaft for Meigg’s Brothers, at that place, at the time the murder for which he was arested wascommitted; and that he had then been # resident of this State since 52, Upon these and other grounds advanced by the pr soner, the Court granted a a = sat of his trial. = e same paper goes on to. had the Court granted)a pos trial, in compliance with the request of the their anxiety to reach the place where McHenr was being tried, Their names are Thomas Walters, formerly of Canboro, and Hugh Aikens, formerly of Acton.

The affidavits carried by Messrs, Walters and Aikens, (two persons well known here and at Chips’,) were from 8. B. Davidsoa, 8. 8. Crafts, the officers of the Division of the Sons of Temperance—of which McHenry was a member, and from ethers, and are all persons well knewn to us as gentlemen of integrity. From reading the affidavits, no deubt reinains in our mind as to the prisoner's innocence, and the impossibility of his being convicted; but the large amount offered for the conviction of the man Tewnsend will doubtless magnify, in the minds of many, a seeming resemblance of McHenry to him into an aetual identity.

The insolvent also filed a petition, asking for the transfer, alleging . in addition, that Scannel was insolvent, and his bonds worthless. Mr. Scannel filed an answer denying the allegations, aud stating his bends to be good and true, Judge Norton, in denying the prayers of Doane and Badger, stated, says the Argus, that as to the question of the inselvency of the Assignee, he could not try such a matter on mere affidavit; that Scannel did not hold his position as Assignee by virtue of his remains in such trust until all the business therewith connected shall be concluded, the fees thereof being due him atsuch times as the matters progress. The Judge also remarked that if the present Sheriff was entitled to the Assigneeship . of the late Sheriff, the method adepted in the case before the court was not the proper means . of solving the question, as suit should be brought . against his official bonds, if deemed insolvent and motion made, for him to show cause why he should not turn over all the business of Assignee, instead of a special cause.

They did not . fire, because they wanted her, and would not riek death in shooting him. He saw it—she He had two charges left. A shert aged quickly at his friend, and read the import of the remark as it related to Mr. Benton, and then was silent fora time—I might say was sad.— The toils of the State Department press too heavily upon him, and his appearance at times betrays the fact. His country appreciates the great value of his present services, but ought not to require them of him. A Secretary of State, however, cannot labor with other eyes, and ears, and brain than his own; and few men in such a position are willing to forego the accomplishment of the cherished plans and purposes of years, at the very moment when the opportunity has been acquired to compass them. Besides, it is glorious to die in high position, and in the discharge of honorable daty. Never Too Lats.—lIt is never too late to do right; as, for instance, a gentleman began to study grammer after he had written for the press ten years. It is never too late te get married ; Naomi, the daughter of Enoch, took her first husband at five hundred and eighty. It is never too late to drop any bad habit ; James the nevelist, wrote sixty-nine volumes before he could shake off his ‘solitary horseman.’’ It is never too lute to be a “wide awake’ character; an old gentleman who has ceased to read the Daily did net kaow what became of Drew. Walsh concluded by saying: “I don’t think there was la single word said during the whole fight by either of us. I am now willing to submit and trust in Previdence for the protection of my! wife and children in this world. May God have . . mercy on my soul.” Srupyisa Human Nature.—The Buffalo Republic tells a story which we don't believe, but been wounded himself, but had escaped, and . gnizing groan—he fired one into ber heart and . the other into his, aud they both fell dead before the mutineers.

We have any received from the foreign journals a general account of the robbery of a caravan by Arabs on the road from Damascus, and more. recent. letters from d to the Press d’Orient, give the following details: When distant about five daye’ journey from Hit, a little village on the Euphrates, the caravan going from Damascus to Bagdai lost the track and were bewildered. This was about the middle of July. The caravan consisted of about 400 persons, 1700 camels, and 1200 packages of merchandise, three-fourths of which belonged to the merchants of Damascus, and the remainder to Bagdad. Net knowing what direction to take, and having been short of water for several days, it was decided to unload all the camels and sené@ them off that very night, under the charge of four servants, to seek fer any wells of water which "hme might be near, the finding of which might at the same time lead to the recovery of the lost track. The camel drivers accordingly set off with their charge. For several days the travelers remained encamped around the bales of merchandise thus exposed in the desert, anxiously awaiting the return of the camels with their four drivers. Their provisions meanwhile sensibly diminished, and rations were preportionably lessened, particularly the supply of water, of which there remained a very ecanty amount in the remaining skins, The camel drivers, after three days vain search, not being able to find even the place where they had left their companions, at length saw their camels, broken down with fatigue and thirst, dying from hour to heur in the desert, while others, rendered furious by their sufferings fled from their charge in all directions. Despair likewise seized upon the drivers, and they also fled, they knew not whither. Two ef them thus perished with heat aud thirst. Happily the two others found their way to the village of Hit. In the meanwhile three Arab Anezis accidentally finding the encampment, offered to farnish the caravan with the necessary camels to transport their goods as far as Hit, demanding asa reward, in advance payment of twenty thousand piastres. A few of the travellers finally accompanied these Arabs three days’ journey to the encampinent of their tribe, where they tried to make a definite agreement as to the sum to be given for the service, gradually raising their offer from 300 piasters up to 1200. This the Arabs ene ESE eS Se ee Se WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 9 1857, — es-—40—e eeeeeee Loss of the Russian Man-of-War Lefort. The Journal de St, Petersburg, of October Ist, publishes the following details of the loss of the Russian ship-of-the-line Lefort, already anneunced. The disaster happened on the morning of the 22d ef September : “It has pleased Providence I sheuld _particiate in one of the greatest disasters that can appen at sea, and to make me a witness of the instantaneous and inexplicable less of one of the vessels in my fleet, A few minutes have sufficed for a beautiful ehip-of-the-line, thoroughly sea-worthy, to be engulphed by the waves during a tempestuous night, Not a cry of distress reached us from the scene of the disastcr, although we were but four cables’ length distant to windward. Not one survives to explain to us the cause of this unparalleled catastrophe. ‘ “On the 28th of August (September 9th) four ships-of-the-line—the Imperatrice Alexandra, the Viadimir, the Lefort, of 84 guns, and the Pamiat Asova, of 74 gnus, which were in the Point of Revei—received orders to arm and return te Cronstadt. Ten days afterwards the Pamiat Aseva quitted the reads, towed by a . steam frigate. The three other vessels were ready to set sail two days later, they kad water and provisions for a mouth, and their stowage was the same as at the end of their cruise in the preceding year; the Lefort was thoroughly repaired at Cronstadt in 1852. I had received instructions to profit by the favorable weather te set sail, withont waiting for the steam-tugs. On the 9th of September (21st) I got under sail with beautiful weather and a favorable breeze from S. S. W., the barometer making 29 79 Eiglish. A little later the wind freshened, and abreast of the Island of Rothskar we were oblgto take in two reefs in the top-sails. “At balf past eight, p.m, after passing the Island of Hochland, the fleet was making more than clever knots. The wind increasing, I or. dered a third, and then a fourth reef to be taken in. The barometer being at 29 15, and weather foggy, we sailed as close as possible to the wind, endeavoring to keep our course by short tacks until morning; each time I gave the signal for the manceuver. At half past eleven the wind shifted to the west, at midnight to the northwest, and at four o’clock to the north, with squalls and snow, At daybreak we were near

Crafts, the officers of the Division of the Sons of Temperance—of which McHenry was a member, and from ethers, and are all persons well knewn to us as gentlemen of integrity. From reading the affidavits, no deubt reinains in our mind as to the prisoner's innocence, and the impossibility of his being convicted; but the large amount offered for the conviction of the man Tewnsend will doubtless magnify, in the minds of many, a seeming resemblance of McHenry to him into an aetual identity.

In the region to be watered by this ditch, mills will spring up, to be run by water power— quartz, grist and saw mills—and, after supplying every want of the miner, it is expected that there will be water to spare for gardens and door-yards, A Man Kitten at Voicano,—We learn from caravan, who could think of nothing but abandoning everything to the Anezis.

Badger vs. his crediters, and asking the Court to order David Scannel, ex-Sheriff. to transfer the Assigneeship. The insolvent also filed a petition, asking for the transfer, alleging . in addition, that Scannel was insolvent, and his bonds worthless. Mr. Scannel filed an answer denying the allegations, aud stating his bends to be good and true, Judge Norton, in denying the prayers of Doane and Badger, stated, says the Argus, that as to the question of the inselvency of the Assignee, he could not try such a matter on mere affidavit; that Scannel did not hold his position as Assignee by virtue of his remains in such trust until all the business therewith connected shall be concluded, the fees thereof being due him atsuch times as the matters progress. The Judge also remarked that if the present Sheriff was entitled to the Assigneeship . of the late Sheriff, the method adepted in the case before the court was not the proper means . of solving the question, as suit should be brought . against his official bonds, if deemed insolvent and motion made, for him to show cause why he should not turn over all the business of Assignee, instead of a special cause. Arrectine Ixcipent.—A letter from India gives an affecting incident which oecarred in the Sepoy massacre.

He turned round and loeked up. on his wife—and who can estimate the power of such a look on either side? Must she fall into the hands of such barbarians? They did not . fire, because they wanted her, and would not riek death in shooting him. He saw it—she He had two charges left. A shert aged quickly at his friend, and read the import of the remark as it related to Mr. Benton, and then was silent fora time—I might say was sad.— The toils of the State Department press too heavily upon him, and his appearance at times betrays the fact. His country appreciates the great value of his present services, but ought not to require them of him. A Secretary of State, however, cannot labor with other eyes, and ears, and brain than his own; and few men in such a position are willing to forego the accomplishment of the cherished plans and purposes of years, at the very moment when the opportunity has been acquired to compass them. Besides, it is glorious to die in high position, and in the discharge of honorable daty. Never Too Lats.—lIt is never too late to do right; as, for instance, a gentleman began to study grammer after he had written for the press ten years. It is never too late te get married ; Naomi, the daughter of Enoch, took her first husband at five hundred and eighty. It is never too late to drop any bad habit ; James the nevelist, wrote sixty-nine volumes before he could shake off his ‘solitary horseman.’’ It is never too lute to be a “wide awake’ character; an old gentleman who has ceased to read the Daily did net kaow what became of Drew. Walsh concluded by saying: “I don’t think there was la single word said during the whole fight by either of us. I am now willing to submit and trust in Previdence for the protection of my! wife and children in this world. May God have . . mercy on my soul.” Srupyisa Human Nature.—The Buffalo Republic tells a story which we don't believe, but been wounded himself, but had escaped, and . gnizing groan—he fired one into ber heart and . the other into his, aud they both fell dead before the mutineers.

In the course of his philosophic pererinations he went into a meek auction shop. e stood a while on entering, and reflected, . donbuless, how any one could be so lost to all trath and honesty as the auctioneer in question, endeavoring to palm off his worthless trash te the inexperienced in the city ways, as good and valuable, and finally the auctioneer called out: “Mr. Beecher, why don’t yeu bid?’’—He wae greatly astonished, as we can well imagine, at . finding himself known in this place, and, as he . had supposed, in purposely careless dress.
