At the last meeting of the Historical Society, Dr. Isaac J. Hayes, who accompanied Dr, Kane . in his Polar Expedition, read an unusually in. teresting paper, giving his personal experience : of the Aoidlinkot: A residence of two and a half years within the Arctic circle had given ' him familiar acquaintance with this singular ; people. He described most particularly the tribe inhabiting the shores of the head waters’ . of Baffin’s Bay, distributed along a coast line of about four hundred miles, reaching from . Cape York to the entrance of Smith’s Strait. . . The tribe numbers not more than 150 souls, and . israpidly decreasing. This is in consequence : of the climate becoming colder. The great glaeier accumulations of Greenland and hyperborean America had modilied the temperature, and as a proof of this, he said the Esquimaux had once lived on both shores of Smith’s Strait. The Esquimaux can live only on the borders of a sea, which, if mot perpetually open, is at least so throughout a greater portion of the year, and is always crossed by creske Smith’s Strait is now never free from ice, and for at least nine months of year it is entirely cemented over. It must have been otherwise when the Esquimaux inhabited its shores. He spoke feelingly of the . decaying ruins of a settlement he had found near lat. 80 deg. N. The old broken down huts and the remains of the great moot caches—the . polar grass fattening on the rich refuse—the . ground strewn with the bones of the seal, the walrus, and the bear—were most vividly described. With the last remnant of this little tribe he had lived for some time. He had lived with them in their snow houses, traveled with them on their long journeys, joined with them in the hunt, and suffered with them the effects of the precarious sources from which they derive their daily food. This was subsequent to the separation of the Advance’s company in the autumn of 1854, a fact which has passed into history. He would not relate the circumstances attending this important step, but would only state the separation of the party was deemed necessary; and, acting under this conviction, eight persons, with two frail boats and less than six weeks’ provisions, pushed out into the icy wilderness, to reach, if possible, the settlement of Uppernavik, a thousand miles distant, or, failing in this, it was their intention to fall back upon the settlements of the Esquimaux to spend the winter. They were unfortunate in not reaching Upernavik, and thus it was that the doctor and his companions came in connection with the natives. They were frozen fast fifty miles from the nearest station, and they remained a month on the most barren spot on this desolate coast, ina hut they built in the crevice of a rock, living the while, if living it might be called on tripe de roche, a species of lichen that they scraped from the surface of snow-covered rocks. ‘They were unsuccessful in the hunt, and at last, when there seemed no prospect of their existing much longer, they accidentally fell in with the Esquimaux, from whom they received meagre supplies of food. These supplies of food at last ceased, and driven by starvation they were compelled to force these Esquimaux to carry them to the ship, in the dim moonlight of midwinter, The origin of this singular people has been shrouded in the same dark mystery that hangs over the Polar world, The most probable theory is, that they have, at some remote, undeterof new hunting grounds, crossed over from cifie Seas, or by the Aluctian chain of islands from Kamschatka, and have gradually worked their way tothe eastward, and brought to a gen sea, . Wherever they are found, whether about Icy Cape, Ungara Bay, Smith’s Straits, or on the . coasts of South Greenland, the same character\iatics are preserved throughout. The same long, black hair, the same coarse development of features, the same broad, flat faces and high cheek bones, the same height below the mean of the Caucassiau race, the same clothes of fur, the same boats (Kayaks) of skins, the same huts wandering life and improvident habits, are the personal and domestic characteristics described by all their historians. They have no government. They havea chief (Nalegak) in name, but do not recognize his authority. Every man does just as pleases him best. They are thoroughly democratic.— Crime is not regarded as a moral delinquency, only as a violation of public opinion, dictated . by selfish interest, and punishment is only in. flicted by private hands, as an actof vengeance, They are very peaceable in their social relations—quarrels seldom occurring. When one thinks he has been wronged or insulted by an. other, he challenges him, not to mortal combat, but to a war of words. The friends of the parties are summoned. Taking their stations in a circle, the combatants enter the lists, and the . pore, keeping time with a seal skin tamborine. He having finished, his opponent commences in the same strain—and he whocan make the audience laugh the most at his cutting jests gains the victory. Their religion is simple. They believe in the existence of a good Spirit (Torngarsunk) and of an Evil Spirit, who is his wife or sister.— . Some think the Torngarsunk lives in a great house in the sea, surrounded by all kinds of sea animals, and a great pot near by, always filled with boiling seal for the disembodied _ spirits,— Others think he livesin the mansion of the moon situated on the borders of the lake abounding in salmon, surrounded by arich country, covered with grass and herds of reindeer. The doctor closed by an allusion to the successful . efforts that had been made to Christianize and civilize Greenland, Of the 7,000 native inhabitants, three-fourths have been baptized. The . country is owned by Denmark, and the mission. ary stations support themselves by trade with . the natives.—Phil. Ledger. THEATRICALS IN AUSTRALIA.—A late number of the Melbourne Argus thus speaks of Mrs, Sinclair and Mr. Sedley : “Much ado about nothing’’ was performed at the Lyceum, and was the medium of introducing to the Melbourne public Mrs. C. N. Sinclair and Mr. Sedley, the former playing Beatrice ;and the latter Benedick. The lady combines . with the possession of a handsome stage face and figure, more than ordinary intelligence and a watchful attention to stage business. Her Beatrice was arch and vivacious, but not so natural and unforced as that of Mrs, Robert Heir. We cannot say much for the “eminent and popular young actor, Mr. Henry Sedley.” He reminds us unpleasantly of Mr. Stark in the tone of his voice, the play of his features, and . his spasmodic style of expressing himself. He . seemed to consider that almost every other word ought tobe emphasized, suggesting the idea that if the actor were . writing a familiar letter toa friend, half of it would be underlined for italics, and the other half underscored to represent capitals. At the fall of the curtain Mrs. . Sinclair and Mr. Sedley were called before it to receive tho plaudits of a full house, and the lady addre-sed the audience in a clever and telling speec’s, gracefully and naturally spoken, which impressed us even more than her acting . with the conviction of her tact and talent, . transportation of supplies. that, in the opinion of a majority of the officers, . mined period in the world’s history, in pursuit .

As soon as they are acclimated we may expect to have them making trips between this State and Texas by the Gila Route : Since the last annual report the carga of! camels, thirty-two in number, then referred to as being expected, have been landed on the coast of Texas and taken into the interior of the . country. Much time was required for their recovery from the effects ofa long sea voyage, and but little use has been made of them in the On one occasion it isreported thatatrain consisting of wagons and camels was sentfrom Camp Verde to San Antonio, a distance of sixty miles, over a road not worse than those usually found on the frontier; and the result, as given, is that the quantity brought back by six camels (3647_ pounds) _ was equal to the loads of two wagons drawn by _ six mules each, and the time occupied by the camels in returning was two days and six hours! that by the wagons four days thirty minutes. On another occasion the capacity of the camel for traveling over the steep acclivities and on the muddy roads was tested with the most satisfactory result. Instead of making the detour rendered necessary in the location of the road . to avoid a rugged mountain, impracticable for . wagons, the camels followed a trail which passed directly over it, and a heavy rain occurring . . whilst they were at the depot to which they had \ been sent for supplies, the road was rendered so l muddy that it was considered impassable to loaded wagons.

Nearly all are dead—one is in the State Prison, another in the San Francisco jail, and a third is a young person, who, according to a jail poet in the Bulletin, “leadeth a life of shame on the banks of the Saeramento.’’ Usuucky HianwarMen,— Constable Dewitt has informed us, says the Shasta Republican, that a gentleman was stopped on the highway near Texas Springs, on Tuesday, Jan. 20th, two men, and compelled to submit to a sea for money. His pockets were fortunately destitute of cash, and he was permitted to proceed on his way. Watrzixna.—Some rising genius about town, says the Calaveras Chronicle, has made a mathematical calculation of the number of miles which a Mexican woman can waltz without tiring. He computes the distance at fourteen miles three rods and nine feet, by actual measurement and observation. Roppery in Suasta.—The house of Mr. John Sweitzer, at Shasta, was robbed a few evenings since while Mr. S. and his wife were calling on a friend. A trunk containing wearing apparel and other articles was carried off, and afterwards found rifled of its contents, having been smashed in by a stone, Gun Boats.—The gun boat system which was proposed by Thomas Jefferson fifty years ago, is now the principal one for coast defense relied on by the British government; and in still further conformity to his suggestions, the boats are being hauled out of water and housed over, The train of camels were, nev. 88 a means of preserving them. . A Merror.—The Shasta Courier says that on ‘each, and returned to their encampment, a dis. Wednesday night, Jan. 21st, at about the hour . tance of sixty miles, in two days—suffering, as itis reported, no interruption or unusual fa. tigue from the mud over which they passed, nor the torrent of rain which fell upon them. These tests fully realize the anticipations entertained of their usefulness in the transportation of military supplies. The experiment of introducing them into the ‘climate of the United States, has been confined to the southern portion of Texas, Thus far the ‘result is as favorable as the most sanguine could . have hoped, Of thirty-four animals imported, . two have died—one from accidental injury and . the other from cause unknown. When it is remembered that this is the year of their acclima. tion—in a climate subject to sudden violent changes, and to the use by them of herbage very . different from that of the countries from which . they were imported—there is every reason to ‘believe thatas little difficulty will be encountered in the acclimation of the camel as that of the horse or the ox. . The intelligent officer who was sent abroad 'to procure them, and who has remained in ‘charge of them, expresses entire confidence both of their great value for the purposes of transportation and of their adaptation to the climate of a large part of the United States. Destruction oF THE Bay or San Francisco ' AnTicIvATED.—In remarking upon the late warm ,rainsin the mountains, which in view of the vast quantity of snow that has fallen this season, seems to protend a sudden and overwhelming . freshet, the San Andreas Independent says: But the most serious reflection, to contemplate is the fact that for several years every mountain stream, gulch, flat and hillside has been worked over and over several times, thoroughly loosen. ing the soil from the bed-rock to the surface, and . in many places entirely filling up the bed of the . stream with sand aud sedimentary matter, while } the water has been lifted out of the canon by ditches, for mining purposes. The melting of this snow must cause spring floods, and the water . will carry a sufficiency of debris down the cur. rent to fill up the bed of every running stream . which winds through the tules, to the Bay of San . Francisco. There is not a tributary river, creek, or gulch of the Sacramento and San Joaquin, , but will furnish its’quota of diluvial and alluvial soil to fill up the marshes of our tule lands, One winter’s freshet such as we had in 1849, . will carry down enough loose soil to oblitarate . every channel that leads intand from the Bay, 'so as to almost entirely destroy vavigation, What this anticipated troubling of the waters may do, time"alone can determine; but to any . 'yeasonable mind it is evident that the Bay of San Francisco will be, in time, entirely filled up, or at least so much so as to leave only an open roadstead to mark the place, “Darkie-pom” iN Canapa.—We find the following allusion to the “underground railroad’ terminus at Windsor, Upper Canada, in a pleasant letter to the Saturday Evening Gazette. It is written from Detroit, apparently by a lady : Windsor, which is directly opposite from Detroit, joins Sandwich. It is the commencement of the Great Western Railroad, and the redez. vous of darkie-dom. The place is redolent with ‘their misery, their unfitness to take care of . themselves. If the hundreds congregated there ‘and at Chatham, that abomination of civiliza. tion, are the result of negro freedom, I never desire to see another negro freed. IL took a little girl of fifteen myself from there six months ago, asanursery maid. Her mother had the impudence to represent herself to me as the veritable Eliza Harris, of Uncle Tom celebrity.— The grin of irrepressible delight with which she consigned her child to us entire strangers, and beheld the train start which was to put some hundreds of miles between them, seemed to me a gentle libel on those torturing partings in Uncle Tom, over which have been rained such copious showers of sentiment. The girl was giyen away, the same authority to be exercised over her as though it had been a monied transaction South. And the result: from the nursery even now there comes a soft Inllaby, and if you were to look therein you would see a small white face in close juxtaposition to thaw black cheek, little clinging arms ever round her neck ,and loving voices in her ear. Half starved, i scantily dressed and ignorant she came to uss ! When we look now upon our sable Lillie, smiling and happy, we smile involuntarily at the furore of sympathy which Mrs. Stowe’s first book awoke in our hearts, Se_iinG Accounts iN Paris.—The fashionable clubs in Paris have recently been thrown into . some excitement by the publication of the names of the most popular dandies, with’ their debts, ‘which are to be pnt up at auction, and sold to . the highest bidder, It looked at first like a sort of “ biack list,’’ and nothing was talked of but . ‘ horse-whipping the impertinent scoundrels who asked for money which belonged to them. But ;it soon appeared that this publication was a matter of form consequent upon the dissolution of a partmership, all the unpaid bills being sold at auctiod, It created a good deal of astonirhment that such names should be found with such bills—for men reputed to have large fortunes to have bills of seven or eight years’s standing unpaid, Pusiic Opinion is modesty personified. It val of religion at Yreka, . of twelve, a large and brilliant meteor was seen . near Ulty’s ranch, on Cow Creek, It exploded near the horizon in an easterly direction from . that place, scattering fragments in every direction. Anorner Earruquake.—The Santa Cruz Sentine] says that the shock of an earthquake was very seriously felt in that place, on Tuesday morning, Jan. 20th, It was not so severe as that of the 9th, though the storekeepers say it caused a general rattling among the crockery. Revieiovs Revivar.—There has been a reviThe Shasta Courier in noticing this fact, says that nothing but the hardness of the winter and the fear of starvation, could ever have induced a religious revival in that town, They were scared into it. A Proriranne Fam.—The Catholic Fair in the Crystal Palace, New York, has realized, so it is given out, $90,000 clear of all expenses, The proceeds are to be expressly devoted to the enlargement of St. Vincepvt’s Hospital. Avnoruer New Srare.—It is reported from Washington that the Territory of Minnesota, through the delegate, Mr, Rice, will take steps during the present session of Congress for admission into the Union, Eriscopa, Convention.—We understand’ that Bishop Kip, in compliance with the request of all the Episcopal clergymen of the diocese, has called a special convention of the Church, to assemble in Sacramento on the 5th of February, Hemmep 1N.—The Yreka Union, of the 8th ult., says that the people of that place are completely hemmed in on all sides by the snow, and that all communication with some sections of their county is entirely cut off. DissoLvep.—The partners in the banking house of Palmer, Cook & Co, have dissolved partnership. J. C, Palmer is to carry on the business of the house hereafter, Sacramento Fires.—In Sacramento, the total loss by fires for the past six months, has been $11,850. The total number of buildings that have been destroyed was twelve, Suspenpep-—The Sacramento Daily Times, the principal Republican organ of the State, has been suspended. Therg are now only five daily papers in Sacramento, Pusiic Scuoois.—In this State there are 316 public schools, 411 teachers, and 27,567 attendants—14,988 boys and 12,579 girls, Tue Volcano Ledger says a diamond was found at Mohala Flat, near that town, a few days since, about the size of an acorn, Tus Nest or THE Taranruca.—-A TarantuJa’s nest, with the tarantula cozily ensconced in his bachelor’s abode, was recently found in San Joaquin county, and presented to the editor of the San Andreas Jnependent : The architectural economy of the nest is one of the curious evidences of great mechanical skill, combining a knowledge of chemistry, and using earth, air, fire and water as the solvents to fuse his habitation into the proper shape and durability, The chamber or round cell is about six inches long, perfectly smooth, and of a velvet softness inside—entirely water-proof, with a positive condenser or pneumatic engine at the bottom to absorb the superabundant moisture, The substance of the house is about as thick and of the consistency of bonnet board, and no doubt formed by the paper making process, The mouth of the cell is closed by a rather massive trap-door, held down by elastic hinges; the side rim being adhesive, firmly holds on the lid, assisted by atmospheric pressure, so that it takes considerable effort to raise the trapdoor; this permanent fortification protects the inmate from heat and cold, wind and rain, and more especially against his common enemy the wasp. Wasps destroy tarantulas whenever they find them outside of the hermitage. and this is why so few of themare discovered traveling abroad, These nests are planted in the ground ina vertical position, and it is said that if the trapdoor is removed during wet weather, the tarantula will manufacture a new one in less than an hour's time. This beats the mechanism of . either the hornet or spider, New Or.eans.—The New Orleans True Delta draws the following picture of the “Cresent City :” Suse great thoroughfares look deserted, that is the buildings thereon. Chartres and Camp ' streets have many fine stores. vacant, labeled . “to rent,’ now here in the middle of December, the beginning of the business season. We do not attribute this desertion to the murders.almost daily perpetrated, the outrages constantly oceurring—it is extremely hazardous and unpopular to do so, and why need we incur personal risks or lose pecuniary support by saying unpalatable things—still it is hard to witness unmoved, these evidences of a disordered . state of the body politic, and to remain a silent . spectator of occurrences that must sooner or later take the bread out of all our mouths. Casuanry.—-Yeaterday morning, about nine o’cloek, a team in the charge of av Indian boy, whilst waiting on the wharf to be loaded with goods, from some cause took, fright and notwith-~ standing every exertion was made to quiet them, they became unmanageable, and backed off of never speaks first, but waits to behold the success or failure of its votary.

In fact, she judges only of merit by success or failure. the wharf into the bay; the water being some ten or twelve feet deep, the horses were drowned be~ fore assistance could be rendered, the wagon and harness was recvered.

At the last meeting of the Historical Society, Dr. Isaac J. Hayes, who accompanied Dr, Kane . in his Polar Expedition, read an unusually in. teresting paper, giving his personal experience : of the Aoidlinkot: A residence of two and a half years within the Arctic circle had given ' him familiar acquaintance with this singular ; people. He described most particularly the tribe inhabiting the shores of the head waters’ . of Baffin’s Bay, distributed along a coast line of about four hundred miles, reaching from . Cape York to the entrance of Smith’s Strait. . . The tribe numbers not more than 150 souls, and . israpidly decreasing. This is in consequence : of the climate becoming colder. The great glaeier accumulations of Greenland and hyperborean America had modilied the temperature, and as a proof of this, he said the Esquimaux had once lived on both shores of Smith’s Strait. The Esquimaux can live only on the borders of a sea, which, if mot perpetually open, is at least so throughout a greater portion of the year, and is always crossed by creske Smith’s Strait is now never free from ice, and for at least nine months of year it is entirely cemented over. It must have been otherwise when the Esquimaux inhabited its shores. He spoke feelingly of the . decaying ruins of a settlement he had found near lat. 80 deg. N. The old broken down huts and the remains of the great moot caches—the . polar grass fattening on the rich refuse—the . ground strewn with the bones of the seal, the walrus, and the bear—were most vividly described. With the last remnant of this little tribe he had lived for some time. He had lived with them in their snow houses, traveled with them on their long journeys, joined with them in the hunt, and suffered with them the effects of the precarious sources from which they derive their daily food. This was subsequent to the separation of the Advance’s company in the autumn of 1854, a fact which has passed into history. He would not relate the circumstances attending this important step, but would only state the separation of the party was deemed necessary; and, acting under this conviction, eight persons, with two frail boats and less than six weeks’ provisions, pushed out into the icy wilderness, to reach, if possible, the settlement of Uppernavik, a thousand miles distant, or, failing in this, it was their intention to fall back upon the settlements of the Esquimaux to spend the winter. They were unfortunate in not reaching Upernavik, and thus it was that the doctor and his companions came in connection with the natives. They were frozen fast fifty miles from the nearest station, and they remained a month on the most barren spot on this desolate coast, ina hut they built in the crevice of a rock, living the while, if living it might be called on tripe de roche, a species of lichen that they scraped from the surface of snow-covered rocks. ‘They were unsuccessful in the hunt, and at last, when there seemed no prospect of their existing much longer, they accidentally fell in with the Esquimaux, from whom they received meagre supplies of food. These supplies of food at last ceased, and driven by starvation they were compelled to force these Esquimaux to carry them to the ship, in the dim moonlight of midwinter, The origin of this singular people has been shrouded in the same dark mystery that hangs over the Polar world, The most probable theory is, that they have, at some remote, undeterof new hunting grounds, crossed over from cifie Seas, or by the Aluctian chain of islands from Kamschatka, and have gradually worked their way tothe eastward, and brought to a gen sea, . Wherever they are found, whether about Icy Cape, Ungara Bay, Smith’s Straits, or on the . coasts of South Greenland, the same character\iatics are preserved throughout. The same long, black hair, the same coarse development of features, the same broad, flat faces and high cheek bones, the same height below the mean of the Caucassiau race, the same clothes of fur, the same boats (Kayaks) of skins, the same huts wandering life and improvident habits, are the personal and domestic characteristics described by all their historians. They have no government. They havea chief (Nalegak) in name, but do not recognize his authority. Every man does just as pleases him best. They are thoroughly democratic.— Crime is not regarded as a moral delinquency, only as a violation of public opinion, dictated . by selfish interest, and punishment is only in. flicted by private hands, as an actof vengeance, They are very peaceable in their social relations—quarrels seldom occurring. When one thinks he has been wronged or insulted by an. other, he challenges him, not to mortal combat, but to a war of words. The friends of the parties are summoned. Taking their stations in a circle, the combatants enter the lists, and the . pore, keeping time with a seal skin tamborine. He having finished, his opponent commences in the same strain—and he whocan make the audience laugh the most at his cutting jests gains the victory. Their religion is simple. They believe in the existence of a good Spirit (Torngarsunk) and of an Evil Spirit, who is his wife or sister.— . Some think the Torngarsunk lives in a great house in the sea, surrounded by all kinds of sea animals, and a great pot near by, always filled with boiling seal for the disembodied _ spirits,— Others think he livesin the mansion of the moon situated on the borders of the lake abounding in salmon, surrounded by arich country, covered with grass and herds of reindeer. The doctor closed by an allusion to the successful . efforts that had been made to Christianize and civilize Greenland, Of the 7,000 native inhabitants, three-fourths have been baptized. The . country is owned by Denmark, and the mission. ary stations support themselves by trade with . the natives.—Phil. Ledger. THEATRICALS IN AUSTRALIA.—A late number of the Melbourne Argus thus speaks of Mrs, Sinclair and Mr. Sedley : “Much ado about nothing’’ was performed at the Lyceum, and was the medium of introducing to the Melbourne public Mrs. C. N. Sinclair and Mr. Sedley, the former playing Beatrice ;and the latter Benedick. The lady combines . with the possession of a handsome stage face and figure, more than ordinary intelligence and a watchful attention to stage business. Her Beatrice was arch and vivacious, but not so natural and unforced as that of Mrs, Robert Heir. We cannot say much for the “eminent and popular young actor, Mr. Henry Sedley.” He reminds us unpleasantly of Mr. Stark in the tone of his voice, the play of his features, and . his spasmodic style of expressing himself. He . seemed to consider that almost every other word ought tobe emphasized, suggesting the idea that if the actor were . writing a familiar letter toa friend, half of it would be underlined for italics, and the other half underscored to represent capitals. At the fall of the curtain Mrs. . Sinclair and Mr. Sedley were called before it to receive tho plaudits of a full house, and the lady addre-sed the audience in a clever and telling speec’s, gracefully and naturally spoken, which impressed us even more than her acting . with the conviction of her tact and talent, . transportation of supplies. that, in the opinion of a majority of the officers, . mined period in the world’s history, in pursuit .

As soon as they are acclimated we may expect to have them making trips between this State and Texas by the Gila Route : Since the last annual report the carga of! camels, thirty-two in number, then referred to as being expected, have been landed on the coast of Texas and taken into the interior of the . country. Much time was required for their recovery from the effects ofa long sea voyage, and but little use has been made of them in the On one occasion it isreported thatatrain consisting of wagons and camels was sentfrom Camp Verde to San Antonio, a distance of sixty miles, over a road not worse than those usually found on the frontier; and the result, as given, is that the quantity brought back by six camels (3647_ pounds) _ was equal to the loads of two wagons drawn by _ six mules each, and the time occupied by the camels in returning was two days and six hours! that by the wagons four days thirty minutes. On another occasion the capacity of the camel for traveling over the steep acclivities and on the muddy roads was tested with the most satisfactory result. Instead of making the detour rendered necessary in the location of the road . to avoid a rugged mountain, impracticable for . wagons, the camels followed a trail which passed directly over it, and a heavy rain occurring . . whilst they were at the depot to which they had \ been sent for supplies, the road was rendered so l muddy that it was considered impassable to loaded wagons. ' ertheless. loaded with an average of 328 pounds VARIETIES. Saag * i Fare or Proxxers.—The passengers. of the brig Margaret, which vessel. arrived in.San Frangiseo in 1846, appear to have had bad luek in this country. Nearly all are dead—one is in the State Prison, another in the San Francisco jail, and a third is a young person, who, according to a jail poet in the Bulletin, “leadeth a life of shame on the banks of the Saeramento.’’ Usuucky HianwarMen,— Constable Dewitt has informed us, says the Shasta Republican, that a gentleman was stopped on the highway near Texas Springs, on Tuesday, Jan. 20th, two men, and compelled to submit to a sea for money. His pockets were fortunately destitute of cash, and he was permitted to proceed on his way. Watrzixna.—Some rising genius about town, says the Calaveras Chronicle, has made a mathematical calculation of the number of miles which a Mexican woman can waltz without tiring. He computes the distance at fourteen miles three rods and nine feet, by actual measurement and observation. Roppery in Suasta.—The house of Mr. John Sweitzer, at Shasta, was robbed a few evenings since while Mr. S. and his wife were calling on a friend. A trunk containing wearing apparel and other articles was carried off, and afterwards found rifled of its contents, having been smashed in by a stone, Gun Boats.—The gun boat system which was proposed by Thomas Jefferson fifty years ago, is now the principal one for coast defense relied on by the British government; and in still further conformity to his suggestions, the boats are being hauled out of water and housed over, The train of camels were, nev. 88 a means of preserving them. . A Merror.—The Shasta Courier says that on ‘each, and returned to their encampment, a dis. Wednesday night, Jan. 21st, at about the hour . tance of sixty miles, in two days—suffering, as itis reported, no interruption or unusual fa. tigue from the mud over which they passed, nor the torrent of rain which fell upon them. These tests fully realize the anticipations entertained of their usefulness in the transportation of military supplies. The experiment of introducing them into the ‘climate of the United States, has been confined to the southern portion of Texas, Thus far the ‘result is as favorable as the most sanguine could . have hoped, Of thirty-four animals imported, . two have died—one from accidental injury and . the other from cause unknown. When it is remembered that this is the year of their acclima. tion—in a climate subject to sudden violent changes, and to the use by them of herbage very . different from that of the countries from which . they were imported—there is every reason to ‘believe thatas little difficulty will be encountered in the acclimation of the camel as that of the horse or the ox. . The intelligent officer who was sent abroad 'to procure them, and who has remained in ‘charge of them, expresses entire confidence both of their great value for the purposes of transportation and of their adaptation to the climate of a large part of the United States. Destruction oF THE Bay or San Francisco ' AnTicIvATED.—In remarking upon the late warm ,rainsin the mountains, which in view of the vast quantity of snow that has fallen this season, seems to protend a sudden and overwhelming . freshet, the San Andreas Independent says: But the most serious reflection, to contemplate is the fact that for several years every mountain stream, gulch, flat and hillside has been worked over and over several times, thoroughly loosen. ing the soil from the bed-rock to the surface, and . in many places entirely filling up the bed of the . stream with sand aud sedimentary matter, while } the water has been lifted out of the canon by ditches, for mining purposes. The melting of this snow must cause spring floods, and the water . will carry a sufficiency of debris down the cur. rent to fill up the bed of every running stream . which winds through the tules, to the Bay of San . Francisco. There is not a tributary river, creek, or gulch of the Sacramento and San Joaquin, , but will furnish its’quota of diluvial and alluvial soil to fill up the marshes of our tule lands, One winter’s freshet such as we had in 1849, . will carry down enough loose soil to oblitarate . every channel that leads intand from the Bay, 'so as to almost entirely destroy vavigation, What this anticipated troubling of the waters may do, time"alone can determine; but to any . 'yeasonable mind it is evident that the Bay of San Francisco will be, in time, entirely filled up, or at least so much so as to leave only an open roadstead to mark the place, “Darkie-pom” iN Canapa.—We find the following allusion to the “underground railroad’ terminus at Windsor, Upper Canada, in a pleasant letter to the Saturday Evening Gazette. It is written from Detroit, apparently by a lady : Windsor, which is directly opposite from Detroit, joins Sandwich. It is the commencement of the Great Western Railroad, and the redez. vous of darkie-dom. The place is redolent with ‘their misery, their unfitness to take care of . themselves. If the hundreds congregated there ‘and at Chatham, that abomination of civiliza. tion, are the result of negro freedom, I never desire to see another negro freed. IL took a little girl of fifteen myself from there six months ago, asanursery maid. Her mother had the impudence to represent herself to me as the veritable Eliza Harris, of Uncle Tom celebrity.— The grin of irrepressible delight with which she consigned her child to us entire strangers, and beheld the train start which was to put some hundreds of miles between them, seemed to me a gentle libel on those torturing partings in Uncle Tom, over which have been rained such copious showers of sentiment. The girl was giyen away, the same authority to be exercised over her as though it had been a monied transaction South. And the result: from the nursery even now there comes a soft Inllaby, and if you were to look therein you would see a small white face in close juxtaposition to thaw black cheek, little clinging arms ever round her neck ,and loving voices in her ear. Half starved, i scantily dressed and ignorant she came to uss ! When we look now upon our sable Lillie, smiling and happy, we smile involuntarily at the furore of sympathy which Mrs. Stowe’s first book awoke in our hearts, Se_iinG Accounts iN Paris.—The fashionable clubs in Paris have recently been thrown into . some excitement by the publication of the names of the most popular dandies, with’ their debts, ‘which are to be pnt up at auction, and sold to . the highest bidder, It looked at first like a sort of “ biack list,’’ and nothing was talked of but . ‘ horse-whipping the impertinent scoundrels who asked for money which belonged to them. But ;it soon appeared that this publication was a matter of form consequent upon the dissolution of a partmership, all the unpaid bills being sold at auctiod, It created a good deal of astonirhment that such names should be found with such bills—for men reputed to have large fortunes to have bills of seven or eight years’s standing unpaid, Pusiic Opinion is modesty personified.

Anorner Earruquake.—The Santa Cruz Sentine] says that the shock of an earthquake was very seriously felt in that place, on Tuesday morning, Jan. 20th, It was not so severe as that of the 9th, though the storekeepers say it caused a general rattling among the crockery.

DissoLvep.—The partners in the banking house of Palmer, Cook & Co, have dissolved partnership. J. C, Palmer is to carry on the business of the house hereafter, Sacramento Fires.—In Sacramento, the total loss by fires for the past six months, has been $11,850. The total number of buildings that have been destroyed was twelve, Suspenpep-—The Sacramento Daily Times, the principal Republican organ of the State, has been suspended. Therg are now only five daily papers in Sacramento, Pusiic Scuoois.—In this State there are 316 public schools, 411 teachers, and 27,567 attendants—14,988 boys and 12,579 girls, Tue Volcano Ledger says a diamond was found at Mohala Flat, near that town, a few days since, about the size of an acorn, Tus Nest or THE Taranruca.—-A TarantuJa’s nest, with the tarantula cozily ensconced in his bachelor’s abode, was recently found in San Joaquin county, and presented to the editor of the San Andreas Jnependent : The architectural economy of the nest is one of the curious evidences of great mechanical skill, combining a knowledge of chemistry, and using earth, air, fire and water as the solvents to fuse his habitation into the proper shape and durability, The chamber or round cell is about six inches long, perfectly smooth, and of a velvet softness inside—entirely water-proof, with a positive condenser or pneumatic engine at the bottom to absorb the superabundant moisture, The substance of the house is about as thick and of the consistency of bonnet board, and no doubt formed by the paper making process, The mouth of the cell is closed by a rather massive trap-door, held down by elastic hinges; the side rim being adhesive, firmly holds on the lid, assisted by atmospheric pressure, so that it takes considerable effort to raise the trapdoor; this permanent fortification protects the inmate from heat and cold, wind and rain, and more especially against his common enemy the wasp. Wasps destroy tarantulas whenever they find them outside of the hermitage. and this is why so few of themare discovered traveling abroad, These nests are planted in the ground ina vertical position, and it is said that if the trapdoor is removed during wet weather, the tarantula will manufacture a new one in less than an hour's time. This beats the mechanism of . either the hornet or spider, New Or.eans.—The New Orleans True Delta draws the following picture of the “Cresent City :” Suse great thoroughfares look deserted, that is the buildings thereon.

We do not attribute this desertion to the murders.almost daily perpetrated, the outrages constantly oceurring—it is extremely hazardous and unpopular to do so, and why need we incur personal risks or lose pecuniary support by saying unpalatable things—still it is hard to witness unmoved, these evidences of a disordered . state of the body politic, and to remain a silent . spectator of occurrences that must sooner or later take the bread out of all our mouths.
