ARRIVAL OF THE CRESCENT CITY
WITH SSO0,000 IN GOLD DUST.
CHEERING INTELLIGENCE FROM THE
DsasesHNGS.
NEW YORK, Friday, 2 o'cloc

NEW YORK, Friday, O'Clock.
The steamship Crescent City, from
Chagres, arrived at this port at about
noon to-day. She bring. mail from
San Francisco to the first of November,
and also eight hundred thousand
dollars in gold dust, and one hundred
and sixty passengers.
She has about S4OO, 900 on consign-
ment to houses in this city, SI07 900
of which comes to Rowland s. As
pinwall, and 100000 to Livingston
Wells g. Co, and about 100000 to
orcer oiprivate parties.
The dates from San Francisco come
down to the second of November -
The general news, though much later,
is not interesting.
The reports of the abundance of
gold were still encouraging. Those
who had been able to withstand the
fatiguss of digging were well rewarded.
The steamer Alabama was at Chag-
res, and sailed in company with the
Crescent City, for New Orleans
The Falcon left for the same port on
the 9th.
The steamer Unicorn had arrived
at San Francisco previous to October,

The health of the people of the
mines was generally good. The aver

GrWe learn from the Pacific News o
Oct. 80, brought by the Crescent City, that
the Court Martial had found John Black,
and Henry Cammeiford guilty Of Mutiny
and Deserton. These are the men who
were arrested by the Audley CIarke's Com
pany. On the 23d of October, John Black,
Jonathan Biddy, William Hall, Peter Black
and Peter Black wera hung from the yard
arms one on the Ewing and the other on
the Savannah. The sentence Of death on
the others was commued to whipping and
other punishment. OF the execution, the
Pacific News says, "All necessary prcpal-
ations being previously made, at the APP
pointed time, the hands, by signal from the
flag ship were called to witness pun sh-
ment, when several orders and ,hort address
srs were made TO all the crews and officers
assembled in uniform. The condemned
were attended to the deck, as they had been
for several days, by the Chaplain of tho
frgate, assisted by most OF the cIergymen
from shorl, who, without distinction of de-
nomination, promptly rendered their servi-
ces. When the last momeai arrived, by
all ingenious contrlvance, the fatal gun was
discharged, when a weight attached to one
end of ,he cord (the other being adjusted
around the neck of the criminaD was set
free, and, by its preponderanco, the victims
we're rapidly run up TO the yard aims, with
out struggle, or the slightest muscular ac-
ton, dlscernable by any on deck. We
understand that everything throughout this
tragic scene in our Navy was conducted with
much decorum and becoming gravity"

Brothers for copies fthe Pacific News.

UJFrom present appearances there is

Of the House of Representatives will be as
protrscted as it was in 1899 Congress
met on the 9th of December, and the House

of the broad seal' question, as it was

outraged by the Locofocos. From the com
mencement of the balloting at the present
session, Mr.. Winthrop has maintained his
ground the Wings who first voted for him
have nobly stood firm in the right cause,
while others have slowly enrolled them
selves under the Wing banner, at succeed
ing ballots. We are copfdent that others
will vote for him, as the voting proceeds,
and that he will ultimately be elected lie

he is the man whom the Wings of the coun.

G-The news brought by the Crescent
City is certainly Of a very encouraging
character, and we indulge the hope, and
are confident in the belief, that we SHALL
soon have prosperous accounts from the
Audley Clarkc's Company. We are very
desIrous that they should all do well and
accumulate fortunes. We desire it on their
account, and because we know it would be
beneficial to the town. They certainly de-
serve it, because they have manifested
spirit of enterprise which many thought did
not exist in this town Whatever Of cred
It exists, and there is certainly a vast deal,
in the origin and completion of this Com
pany, belongs manly to Messrs. Newton
Brothers, of this town, and particularly to
james r. Newton, Esq, a member of tha,
house. His efforts were most ndefatiga-
BILE, and without them we are quite conf
deat that the enterprise would have failed.
We attended the first two meetings which
were held, in anticipation Of the formation
of the Company, and Mr. Newton was the
life and soul Of the movements At lha,
early day, when the accounts from Cali.
fornia were quite vague in their character,
Mr.. n. was firm in the belief that an abun-
dance of gold existed there, and that the
project for the formation OF a Company in
this town was feasible beyond question:
He persevered in his efforts, against all
obstacles, until he enjoyed the satisfaction
OF seeing the Audley Clarke sail With a
company composed mainly of Newport
men, of as substantial and valuable charac-
ter as any that has gone to that Golden re.
gion.
