CARRIER PIGEONS. We learn that when the
news OF the last steamer from California was recey
ed IN New Bedford, two carrier pigeons were de-
spatched TO Nantucket IN advance Of the boat, with
abstract of the most important particulars Of the
intelligence. One of the birds arrived safely al Nam
tucket The other, was driven by the winds off its
course, and becoming confused, turned of towards
Falmouth, and took refuge in the house of Mr.. Law
renee, who Is in California. The dispatches were
eagerly taken possession ofby tie ffmiy, who thus
obtained news two days in advance of the 5bssnt
husband and father The bearer, after a silrsfir-

as Is supposed, returned TO New Bedford. Sand

BIBLE PASoRAMA. Our citizens will bear in mind
that this afternoon and evening will be the last oppor-
tunity they will have Of seeing Of the most interest
ing panoramas ever exhibited to the American public.
The universal attention that this painting has COM
manded from the best minds of New England, and
elsewhere, striking evidences of the fact that this
painting stands alone upon its superior merits. We
affect artistic skill in estimating the merits of such'a
production, but do not hesitate say, painting
whose semblance to reality fix the attention and
tort the admiration of audience skilled and unski
ed in professional techncaes afford the best possible
evidence of its true merits.
The field which MIR. Williams has selected for the
exercise of his talents abounds with of the
thrilling sublmity, and person who has the soul to
enjoy contemplation of the sublime and beautiful
should suffer this magnificent work of Art to leave the
place without paying it visit. No exhibition more
interesting has ever visited this city.
