California cold Reminiscence.


The Washinton Uaion publishes an extract
from the proceedings of die New York His'
toriepl Society, beng Submitted totheaSocis7
ty on the 10Th December last, ordered to be
transferred to its records, from which we
extract the following curious "reminiscences
It is related by Captain George Shelyocke'
in his of the adventures of the Speed
well, a ship of "a guns, and LOG men, fitted
out BY certain merchants in London fora cruise
in the South seas, that sailed from Plymouth,
February 10, 1919, in company with the Sue
cess, under tbe command Of Captain John
Clipperon.
After cruising about the Pacific nearly two.
years, Captain 5helvocke determined 70, pro-
coed to The coast Of California, He came in
sight Of the peninsula on the lltheof August,
1921, and cast anchor in the harbo' Of Puerto
SECURE, on the l7th, in the morning. Here
he remained until the evening Of the 18th,
taking wood and water, having constant and
uninterrupted communications with the shore
and the natives. On his departure for China
he drew up an account Of the country, y
which occurs the following remarkable pas
sage.
H"Leaving, however, these conjectures to be
supported or confuted by future discoveries,
| shall confne myself to facts, and report on
y what ! have seen orknown, for the informa-
ton Of the present age and posterity, The
eastern coast of that part Of California, which
| had a sight Of, ap ears to be mountainous,
barren, and sandy, and very like some parts Of
Peru but nevertheless, the soil about Puerto
Secure, and Every likely in most of the
valleys, is, rich mold, which, as you turn it
fresh up to. the sun, appears as if intermingled
with gold dust; Of which we epdeavored to
wash and purify from the Dirt but though
we were a little prejudiced against the thought
that it could be apostolic that this metal should
be so promiscuously and universally mingled
with common earth, yet VIC endeavored tc
cleanse and wash the earth from it, and the
more it appeared like. gold. In order to be
further satisfied, | brought away SOM of i,
which we lost in our confusion at China
BIT, be that as il will, il is very probable, that
this country abounds in metals of Of all sorts,
though the inhabitants had no utensils or or
namenls Of metal whatever, which no wonder
since they are 50 perfectly ignorant in all
arts.
That Captain shelvocke had really discov-
cred, as here described, an extensive pla-
Ger" of gold, can scarcely be questioned.

"MuRDER VIII Ourn-A most e1lraordir-
AIRY instance of powerful workings Of remorse,
for an irreparable act 81 crime, Has recently
been developed here. On Tuesday iast, . vni-
uable negro mln, Levi, belonging TO Allison
Wade Sins, ESQ. residing about three miles
from Port Gibson, wcntt To lis master, and vol
unfairly inforued him that som time pre-
vious to last Christmas he had killed a German
pedlar, in the cotton field, for the purpose Of
robbing him Of his pack, and had afterwards.
buried the body in a r%ayine, in the middle Of
lonely c4ne -braBe on the plantation. Al die
bidding Of his master Levi cheerfuily proceed
ed with him 70 town, to bee placed in custo-
dy. The requisite information having been
given by Mr.. s., a coroner's jury was SUM
moned Wednesday, morning, and nnder the
guidance of the negro, who exhibited no
reluctance, but on ire contrary, seemed
anxious for the investigation, they proceeded
to search for the body, which was easily found.
The place selected for burial was peculiarly
adapted for concealment. The hil which
rose on either side, had poured the waters Of
every rain into the rayihe NJ their feet, in the
bed Of which, we'll covered up with cane and
chunks Of dscayed wood, and the constantly
accommodating sediment washed down by the
waters, the body was found. When drawn
forth, ii was recognised as that Of one David
Lubelski, a native of Crac6w, in Poland-in
5 which city we learn that his wife a?d seven
, children reside-who for the lasttwo y9G q 'ls
followed the occupation of n licensed r "kel
and pedIar in this country. From tho vc(un'
. tary, and almost eager admissions Of the re-
: gro, made before them,tie jury without heslt'
ton, rendered their verdict in accordance with
the facts stated. ~ ga.aat. saa
On his subsequent examination before a
magistrate, Levi entered more fully into par
~ticuIars. lie stated that 81 soon as the excit
ement had passed from his mind, lie became
overwhelmed with fear and remtrse. For some
time he lived in constant dread Of detection,
and a casual remark madeaby one Of his com
5 panions in relation to d handkerchief which
Y he was using, caused him to burn the pack
s and its contents, 20 gain which, he had taken
human life. His remorse ncreased-night and
9 day a terrible and overwhelming consciousness
of guilt was upon him-eveni in sleep he was
disturbed by terrible dreams, Life became q
6 burthen to him, and he felt that while the con-
seriousness Of his dark secret remained, exis-
: tence would be torture. After much refec-
, ton and hesitation, ne determined to make
$ free and full confession, to offer himself up to
atone to the offended laws, and during the few
| weeks Of life which would remain, to
seek from a higher source, that pardon and
s peace which man could not grant him. When
his narration had been committed 10 writing
3 and read over, and approved by him, he said
. he felt as though a great and insupportabIe
load had been lifted from him. He was then
committed to jail, to await his triaI.-Rort
