IJPIn passing through various parts of the
town, our attention has often beon attracted
TO the nischievous conduct Of boys, who, in
passing along, with pant-pots in their hands
have dobbed the brush against fences, posts,
granite pillars, and even on the sides ofhous-
es, which, in some instances have just been
painted This, Of course leaves daub of
green, black, red, or whatever color paint
they may chance TO have with them, andruins
the appearance of whatever they touch. Chill
dren should be taught better by their parents,
and when they are sent after paint, let them
be learned not to injure the property of other
persons, in this manner. Hundreds of hous-
es, fences, posts, &c, may be seen, in almost
any street, which have been defaced by these
young rogues, exhibiting all the colorS of the
rainbow.

1--WE yesterday visited the Bellevue
House, and found that everything there was
in perfect order for summer visitors. Many
improvements have been made since last sea
son, which will add much to the comfort and
convenience Of the guests. The location of
the Bellevue, in our estimation, is the most
delightful one in town, and those splendid
trees in front are entirely unequalled. The
rooms are large and airy, and well stored
with all that is desirable for comfort and pleas
ure
VIM w. Hazard, Esq, the proprietor, is
ever mindful of the happiness of his guests,
and he spares no pains to please them. Mr..
&. n. Tilley, lis assistant, is also oblging
and attentive, and gives general satisfaction
to all who deal with him. Mr.. Hazard is al
to be assisted, this season, by an experien-
ccd man who has heretofore been connected
with one of tire fashionable houses at Cape
May.
Attached TO the Bellevue is 4 very commo-
dious stable, which is superintended by that
knight Of the whip and iayorte Of the fash
ionables, DR.. Tenant.

The report of the arrival of the steamers
Oregon AMI California is confirmed. Their
mails arc on the lsthmus, awaiting the arrival
of the steamer at Chagres.
The lump of gold brought by Lieut.. Beals
weighs eight pounds.
The Mobile Register contains the following
California news.
The news from California is to the 9th of
April.
Plans were on foot to establish regular
line of mails through California.
There were eighty vessels al San Francisco
and vessels were arriving daily.
The town of San Francisco vas under
great excitement from rumors which were IL
float that Gen. Smith had abolished all the
measures for safety taken by the Legislature
The Alcalde and justices Of tho town had
been displaced by Justices of the Peace.
Disorder was rcigning among all branches
of the administration, attributable TO the con
duct of Col. Mason.
Another mutiny had broken out on boar

GF@Some of the papers are circulating a
foolish story that DR.. Coolidge is not dead,
but that he was safely smuggled out of pris-
on, and a body placed there to give color to
the idea that he had committed suicide, or
had died in fit.
This is altogether too ridiculous a story
for the most enthusiastic credulity. 1t will
be recollccted that similar story was put in
circulation in regard to John &. Colt, after he
committed suicide in prison. We should real.
ly pity the silly editors who give currcncy tc
this rumor, and believe 1t, if they were at
dead as John G. Colt and Nalorous p. Cool
idge.
