EARrH's EARLY IsHAp1rArrs.-It is strane

EARTH's EARLY INHAB1rANTs.-It is strange
that, in thin bed Of fine clay, occurring be.
tween two masses Of sandstone, we should
thus have convincing, but unexpected evidence
preserved, concerning some Of the earth's in
habitants at this early period The ripple mark,
the worm track, the scratching Of a small crab
on the sand, and even the impression Of the
rain drop, distinct as to indicate the direction Of
the wind at the time Of the shower; these, and
the footprints of the bird and the reptile, are
all stereotyped, and offer an evidence which no
argument can gainsay, no prejudice resist, con-
cerning the natural history of a very ancient
period Of the earth's history. But the waves
that made that ripple mark have long ceased to
wash those shores; for ages has the surface
then exposed been concealed under great
thickness Of strata; the worm and the crab have
left no solid fragment to speak of their form
or structure; the bird has left no bone that has
vet been discovered; the fragments of the rep
tile are small, imperfect, and extremely rare.
Still enough is known to determine the fact
and that fact is the more interesting and saiu-
able from the very circumstances under which
it j. presented.

The excitement for time was intense, bu

The news from Oregon respecting the gol'

The Alta California has received the follow

Stavely in command as Lieut.. Governor.
On the first of May three pirates were hang
ed at West Point. Through some mismanage.
ment they were kept upon the scatfold, with
the halters around their necks, for more than
half an hour. The bolt could not be drawn

The Friend states that report is current
that the Portuguese Government is sending
out naval force and 5000 troops with a view
of obtaining satisfaction for the murder of the
late Governor Of Macao, and that Portugal had
pawned Goa to the East India Company for
$l50,000 to raise the funds. A Portuguese

A very fatal disease commonly called typhus,
but SAID by some to resemble the plague whie!,
desolated London two centuries ago, and by
some the yellow fever of the West Indies, had
broken out at the city of Canton and the

receive the advice of the European physicians.
The East India Company's steamer Semi
ramis, with three companies of The Ceylon Ri
f1es arrived at Victoria on the 1lth May; she
sailed for Singapore, Ceylon and Bombay, on
the 18th, carrying back three companies of the
Rifles, who have been for some years in that
garrison. H. B. NJ. brig Serpent came in on
the 4th she relieved the Pilot at Whampoa;
the latter has gone north. The Amazon frigate
arrived from Singapore on the 18th; on the fol-
lowing day the Hastings sailed for Singapore.
Capt. Troubsidge, Of the Amazon, is for the
present the senior naval officer on the China
station. .

SHOCKING OUTRAGE IN De SoTo PARISH
We have rarely had occasion TO chronicle a
more disgraceful outrage than the one de-
scribed in the following paragraph which we
copy from the Mansfield Advertiser Of the
18th instant:
sWe received information this morning that
Thomas Benton Weaver, of this parish, in the
Keechi neighborhood, on last Thursday night,
shot at Miss Jane Collins, his sister-in-law, and
daughter Of Colonel Thomas Collins, living in
the same place. The contents Of the gun pas
sed through her dress, but without injuring
her person. He fred second time but took
aim at her shadow, thinking, as is supposed
that he aimed at her body, and the load was
lodged in the door. The friends of Miss Col
lins interfered and disarmed Weaver, other
wise he might have carried his nefarous design
into execution. The cause Of Weaver's ma
lice originated, says our informant, in express
sions Of disapprobaticn uttered by Miss Collins
in relation TO his maffiage with her sister.
Weaver was arrested yesterday and committed
to jail.
