Brown, from San Francisco to Liverpool, with a cargo of wheat, is confirmed. She foundered at sea, off Cape St. Roque. The St. Louis correspondent of the Alta has the following particulars : The New Orleans papers contain further articulars of the loss of the clipper sbip Javid, Brown, heretofore reported lost on a voyage from San [Francisco to Liverpool, with a cargo of grain. News was brought ‘to New Orleans by the steamer Habana, . It appears that the David Brown sailed from San Francisco with a crew of twenty-two ; men all told, nine women and children and five male passengers. When the leak was . discovered, Captain Berry bore up for the . Island of St. Thomas. By great exertions . the Captain managed to get within about . 1,000 miles to the eastward of that island, when he found it impossible to keep the . ship afloat, and she had to be abandoned. The Captain took one boat with eight the crew, with the women and childre sengers, The mate took another boat, with . the remnant of the crew and male passengers. After they had been at sea three . days, the doats parted company. That /commanded by the Captain has not since . been heard of. The mate reports baving been at sea nine days in an open boat, during which time they endured almost unheard of sufferings, for want of food and water, when they were on the 14th of January, picked up, in latitude 19 deg. 19 min. N., longitude 44 deg. 28 min., by the bark . Observador, and brought into Havana. The passengers being all British subjects, . were immediately taken charge of and treated kindly by Mr. Crawford, the British Consul General of Cuba. The David Brown had been eighty days at sea, when she sprung a leak. The Observador, which bad the good fortune to save a portion of her crew, was from Cadiz and Teneriffe. Nothing has been heard of Captain Berry and the other boat. They may have been picked up by some European bound vessel. Tut Stiver Era.—We have many times been oceupied with the idea of a silver age to succeed, or be with that of gold. We bave held this notion while the gold product was alone the mineral yield of the country on the western side of the continent, and before any discoveries of silver were made.—It is impossible to tell why, but, wholly without the suggestions of scientific studies, we acquired the opinion that where there was a diversified and extensive gold region there was also asilver region. Discovery in Utah, in California, ia New Mexico, in Lower California, and elsewhere in regions where gold is found, bas coufirmed our opinion, however it may have been formed.— And though we do not assert that the era of great golden discoveries bas passed, or that it has reached its most abounding time, we . believe that a silver era has begua, wherein the white treasure will become almost as plentiful as iron in commerce. will be found where gold only was formerly looked for, and it will be ascertained that silver lines traverse aod run parallel and mixed with the gold lines of the Rocky mountains, the Sierra Nevada, the Oregon mountains, the mountains of Southern Califernia and the Colorado, and, perhaps, through the British and Russian possessions north, The wide, varied and uninhabited to mining adventure more metalic richness evada Silver ore . country back of California will yet reveal . LR aa ae? ce tiseene ete eeneeeinenelD NUMBER 431. A Portrait of Count Cavour. Count Cavour has so far recovered from his late attack as to be able to leave his bed and bedroom, and is expected to transact business in his manifold offices this very morning. Tis late complaint for which he has been twice bled, was, happily, not of the apoplectic nature which had somewhat alarmed his friends on former occasions, It was merely an inflamation of the digestive organs. There is no doubt, however, that his strong health-threatens to give way before his intense incessant occupation, strong appetite, luxurious living, plethoric habits and want of bodily exercise, He is always up and at work at five o’clock in the morning. From nine to half-past six in the afternoon he directs all the business in his own departments, and takes a general survey of those of his more helpless colleagues. Then follows dinner, his only meal, I believe, in the twenty-four hours, and I am . told, none of the lightest,. He uses no carriage, but « walk from bis private residence in the Via Cavour to the ministerial offices inthe Piazza Castello is but poor relaxation, Sometimes [ have met him walking outside the porticoes along the Via di Po, . evidently for a breath of air, but he bas accustomed the world to too coustant a dependence on bis master mind to allow himself the indulgence even of a quarter of an hour’s “constitutional.” The activity of the man’s mind is immeasurable. He neglects nothing, forgets nothing; no scheme of policy or diplomacy is too high, no mean detail or particular is too commonplace for him. Hehasan eye for everything; he trusts few men, and these are generally obscure but able individuals of his own choice and creation. He writes most of his letters with his own hand. He writes a plain and distinct round French hand with lines wide apart—a hand of which strength and decision would not, on a first inspection, seem to be the most obvious characteristics, A ¥rench photographic likeness, lately published by Maggi, Lah vhe very mind and soul of this greatest of living statesmen, A whole volume might be written about the expression lurking beneath every line of the half good humoredly, half sarcastically smiling mouth. It is the smile of the man who has early found out “how little wisdom it takes to govern the world,” and whose noble heart has prompted him to rule over it for its own greatest advantage. May his band long continue firmly to wield the destinies of his country.—{Turin Correspondence of the Times, Mazepra with A VENGpANcE.—-A few evenings since, at Rochester, N. Y., while performing the play of Mazeppa, the wild horse of Tartary was rather more in character than was intended. When the “untamed steed,’’ with Mazeppa on his back, was let loose, instead of taking the designed route, the horse made a short cut; and upset several castles and other small buildings; the lashings which held Mr. Miles were broken, but he held to his place by the mane—no easy task, as he was lying upon his back across the horse. He passed safely before the audience on the second stage, but, going over the third or uppermort, he was thrown from his borse and received a kick upon the head, which was at first thought to be serious. He revived in a short time and concluded his part, ‘ Tue Birrer Brr.—Elisha Griffith, a rich old rascal, residing at Minneapolis, Mion,, offered a married woman of that place $500 in gold to elope with him.

He arrested Trovs_e in THE New Repusiic.—The hot headed fellows who control things in the New Republic bave got into difficulty with a foreign power at once, The St. Louis . correspondent of the Alta gives the following item : Captain Vaughn, of the British ship Kalos, lying at the port of Savanah, having expressed doubts as to the expediency of secession, and farther as to the divine origin of the peculiar institution, was treated to a severe ducking by a handfulof excited people in that city, and one side of bis bead ;shaved. This circumstance has excited a great deal of indignation among the better . class of citzens of Savanah, and fears are entertained that the British Government . . may take official notice of theact, The Savanah papers are silent upon the particulars of the occurrence. which is, however, termed . ber for stealing, but she was acquitted, and allowed to retain the money. Tuere isa deal of sound sense at’ times in the remark of insane persons. At the South Boston Asylum, a patient was asked if he wae fond of riding horseback. “No, sir, I ride a hobby.’? “There’s not much difference between the two,’ carelessly remarked a gentleman. “QO yes, there is,” said the patient, “and it is this: If you ride @ horse, you can stop him and get off, but when you mount a bobby you can’t stop and you can’t get off.” There’s wisdom for you! In raising the treasure of the steamer Malabar which was wrecked on the coast of Ceylon, last summer, the divers worked under water through nine feet of sand, and by the British Consul at that city, in an ad-. vertisement offering a reward of $1,000 for . the guilty parties, as “a dastardly and brutal outrage.’’ The Mayor of Savanah has offered a reward of $500 for the apprehension and conviction of the participants in. the “personal abuse and violence’”’ offered Captain Vaagbn. . then cut away large iron plates balf an inch thick, forming the sides of the mail-room of the steamer, ighty thousand dollars’ worth of treasure were thus obtained in one day. The steamer had over $1,500,000 in gold on board, all of which has been saved. . No Great Suakes.—The prize, which .
