Col Benton oHd Caliloraia. A Washington cor respondent of the New York Com mercial Advertiser says.
 Certainly one of the most important rumors of the day, if t is true is that MT. Benton has sent to Calforpia, by the last steamship. another of his remarkable letters addressed 10 the inhabitants of that territory. The first 10 the CalifoTnans was taken out last fall, by Col Fremont, and ad- vlsed them to setup provisional government with cut any provision as to slavery. That decemeni was probably published in San Francisco about the first of February last. From what ] lesru have reason to think that Mf. Benton HS;s advises :Ae people of California 10 insert provision ia this temporary system, for the eternal exclusion of slavery from their soil, and that he advocates or rather commands tt with al his characteristic energy and power cannot doubt that his reeoas- mendations will be followed.

SASp saslis,---It seems to be ulaced beyona doubt that this ship which was recently lost ns,, Wetlfieet, Cape Cod, was parPoseIy run on shot. by the captain, (Smhh.) who, with several other, perished by the swamping of the boat. in which they were endeayoring 10 reach the shore. The captans valise was washed on shore and in i, w-rs found letters from his owners, urging him ,n ssl,oy inc shlp on his homeward voyage. These ns,ruc. tons, 1t appears, he carried out, and ne. meriisd death in doing so. The Boston Traveller i'm. moralizes upon the matter:
 Proridesfial The discovery of the letters i,nnli. eating the owners ot the ship Franklin in the design oi destroying that ship. is certainly very remarkable yea, providential--and most forchy illustrate, the doctrine of special, overruing Providence in the affairs Of this world. Why should inc captain have preserved these letters, to be swift wi,nesse, against him and his employesl Why should thai valise containing them have washed 50 safely ashore Why should man have been on the beach inst as the vaise reached the shore and without seeing the article, have drawn tt out on casting his hook into the water7 What kept those letters, placed in vaise, so exposed 10 the wa;er from being entirely desttoyedf And what induced the finder of lhem 10 take so much pains to save dry, and read them
 The only rational answer 10 the whole is that wise and experimenting providence presided ovef all, and brought these purposes of fraud and vaIuy 10 light, a warning to others, and an illustration of that truth often proclaimed to the secret sinae Be sure your sin will find you out -,
