AN Inos BRIG.--We lately visited the iron brig
Josephine, Capt. G. Workman, OF 27S tons register,
which was built in Liverpool and whose hull il
entirely constructed Of iron, about one third of
inch thick. The sheets Of iron are laid over each
other, and riveted inside "Trip or bar of iron,
30 that the outside has the appearance oil being
piece. She has three separate holds, divided by
sheets of iron that if part Of her should be-
come injured, the vessel would sill be safe. The
compasses of the vessel are protected by magnets
so arranged as to produce magnetic current,
which prevents the attraction of the needle by the
iron. She is in every respect beautiful craft, and
she sails under Yankee coiars, we have no
doubt improvements will be made on her

From THE PLAIss.-John Prugh, esq, of Iowa,
who has arrived in San Francisco from the States,

teresting items of intelligence from the Plains.
We learn from Mr.. p. that the great body of the
ox-team immigration 10 yet on the road-not over
two or three hundred having as yet crossed the Ne
vadas. He passed, at the lowest estimate, not less
than three thousand teams. We are gratified to
learn that the majority of these immigrants, ae-
cording TO the best information TO be obtained by
our informant, were supplied with sufliciency of
provisions to last them through the trip. Some Of
the leading teams had short, but this was oc
casioned by having TO supply those who were des-
ttute The horse and mule teams are about all in.
When Mr.. p. passed Fort Laramie, on the 18th
June, over $4,000 men had been registered at the
Forts but, alas for the Frightening anticipations of
bachelors, who have been blindly yielding
dence 10 the 1attering songs of hope-only about
one hundred and fifty ladies had passed that point.
Flour could be bought at Carson Valley at dol
lar per pound--a reduction of hundred per
cent. in about ten days.
MIR. p left Council Bluffs on the 10th May, had a
very agreeable trip, met with no mishaps, and ar
rived here in about sixty days travelling time.
