From The Nec York Irm Sun.
FROM RIO JANEIRO-LATEAN AND IN
TERESTING FROM THE CALL
EORNIA EXPEDITION

The ship Reindeer, from Rio Janeiro 9th
Of November. arrived below last evening.
bringing as passenger Capt Turner. of the
California regimen. and who proceeds this
morning direct to Washington. Master
Noah son of Major ~, who went out with
the expedition also returned in the Reindeer.
The California Expedition had very sue
cessful passage TO Rio Janeiro, which port
they reached on the 2lst Nov, after n pass
age Of Sc days.
A few days previous 10 the arriva of The
Expedition at Rio, two American seanen of
the U. S. sloop Saratoga, got into some
difficulty OF national character with the Gil
iZens during the ceremonies Of the chrisfen-
ing OF the infant Brazilian Princess. and were
imprisoned. Lieut.. Davis, OF TO Saratoga.
nterposed with the authorities 10 procure
the Liberation oi'the men; but so far from be-
ing successful, he TOO was imprisoned. Mr..
Wise, American Minister at Rio. then inter
posed and demanded that the three should
be set at liberty, accompanying his demand
with the assurance that if il was no complied
with by specified time, he should order The
Saratoga and the Columbus, then AT that
port, TO hire upon The town-which assurance
was received on board the two vessels, both
by officers and men. with hearty satisfac-
ton; and preparations for executing the
threat were Immediately commenced on
board.
THIS prompt and energetic system Of nego-
citation adopted by Mr.. Wise created no small
panic not only with the authorities bot a.
mongst the citizens of Rio. At this |
;uucture of affairs the three ships Of the |
Expedition came sailing into port, and so |
great was the terror produced by their ap- !
pearaDce that the PRISON doors were at once !
thrown open, and the three prisoners set al
liberty and returned to their vessel.
After the authorities had somew hat recov-
cred from their panic, they demanded Of Mr..
Wise the meaning Of this extraordinary col
lection Of American forces in their baTbor;
and II was some Time before he could suffi-
GENTLY allay their apprehensions to gain Gre
hence Tor his assurances that the demonstra-
lion was wholly unconcered. and indicated
nothing nniavorable IN The continuance nf
he .mosl smicabIe reIslions- The Brazilians
could not believe that these thousand Amer
can troops were OIL a voyage Of $4,000 miles
without the least idea of fighting Till they
-eac he'd their destination, nor even then un-
ess forced to j; in self defence, Before the
K eindeer sailed, however, every apprehen-
lion Of the Braziaus had been alayed. and
hings had resumed the even tenor Of their
way.

AS we before remarked, the progress Of tho
expedition mad thus far been prosperous ev-
cry way; and they were to leave Rio TO Do
coed on their voyage on their voyage on the
9th Nov. No untoward circumstances wbat
ever had occurred on board either vessel. and
the whole regiment were in good spirits and
as heartily bent upon The expedition as on
the day OF leaving port.
They Ind also enjoyed excellent heaItF,
generally. Two deaths had occurred a.
mongst them, and one man and an infant
had been consigned to a aiery grav. Thera
had also been two births On board. One Of
these additions was a daughter, 10 which the
vile OF Quartermaster Sergeant Harris gave
birth on The passage. Soon after the arrival
OF the expedition at Rio. there was grand
christening ofihis Miss. attended with ezra
ordinary observances which might have cen
construed into an attempt 20 rival the display
accompanying the christening of tide RIVAL
Princess. MIR. Wise, the United States Min
Ister. stood godfather 10 the little one; 81 r.
was ehristened Alta California Harris. ard
the interest taken in the child by her distn-
suished godfather gives promise to her Of n
more fortunate future than might heve &C
companied her advent had her parents re-
manned at home.

MIDNIGHT MASS FOR THE DYING
YEAR

MIDNIGHT MASS FOR THE DYlN'
YEAR.
Ely LeNGFELLow.
Yes. the Year is growing old,
And his eye is pale and bleared!
Death, with frosty hand and cold,
Plucks the old man by the beard,
Sorely'-Sorely!
The leaves arc falling, falling,
SoIemnIy and slow;
Cav. Cawl the rocks are calling
1t is a sound ofwoe,
A sound Of woe
Through woods and mountain passes
The winds, like anthems roll;
They are chanting solemn masses
Singing; pray for this poor soul,
Pray,-pr0y
And the hooded clouds, like friarF,
Tell their beads in drops of rain,
And patter their doleful prayers -
But their prayers are all in vain,
All in vain
There he stands in the foul weather,
The foolish fond Old Year,
Crowned with wild flowers and wilhheathe
Like wea'-, despised Lear,
A kins,-a king!
Then comes the summer like day,
Bids the old man rejoice
His Joy his last o, the old man gray,
Loveth that ever-soGt voice,
Gentle and low.
To the crimson woods he saith,-
To the voice gentle and low
OF the soft air, like n daughters breath,
Pray do not mock me so!
Do not laugh al me p
And now the sweet day is dead;
Cold in his arms it lies;
No stain from its breath is spread
Over The CLASSY skies.
No mist or stain I.
Then, TOO, the Old Year dieih,
And the forests utter a moan,
Like the voice OF one who crielh
In the wilderness alone,
'Ycx moi his ghost
Then comes With an awful roar,
Gathering an sounding on.
The storm wind from Labrador.
The wind Eurec!ydon,

Howl Howl and from the forest
Sweep the rcd leaves away!
Would the sins that thou abhorrest

And be swept away!
For there sflalI come mighIier blast,
There shall be Il darker day;
Andlhe stars. from heaven down-cast,
Like red learcs he swept away!
