From California.

The steamer Cherokee, with dates from
San Francisco to the lst of July, arrived
at New York on Tuesday, bringing the
immense amount of taCo millions, ninetg-
four thousand, t,oo hundred and niaefy-
eight dollars and Sirty cents in gold on
freight, and four hundred thousand dol
lars in gold, in the hands of passengers.
The Californians are getting impatient at
the delay of Congress to admit them into
the Union. They have good reason, and
their waiting SO long is only another proof
of the attachment to the Union, and the
value set upon it by the people, which is
in striking contrast to the miserable disun-
ion sentiments uttered by ambitious dem
agogues at Washington. San Francisco
is recovering from the late disaster, and
considerable improvements are in progress
The gold appears TO be abundant, but many
wild stories are circulated respecting new
discoveries, which reports are set afloat
usually for interested purposes. One in
relation to great discoveries at>Gold Lake
drew off numbers Of persons, who have
lost time and money, and returned disap-
pointed and indignant. The rumOr that
the State of California intended 10 take
possession Of The custom revenues is no,

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.-We learn fron New
York, that a terrible disaster occurred on the
New York and Erie Railroad on Wednesday
afternoon, 3lst ult., about l o'clock. As o
freight train of twenty-five cars hes vily loaded
with live stock from The west, was crossing an
iron. bridge over small stream, three miles
west OF the mouth of Lackawaxen creek, the
bridge gave way, and although the locomotive
got oversafeiy, the tender aid fifteen cars were
precipltated into the Tavine, which was sixty
feet wide, ana twenty-five feet deep.
The ravine was completely filled up by the
wrecks of the cars and animals. The sixteenth
car was reared on end, on the top of the heap
of ruins. The cars which went over are said
10 have contained about 100 head of cattle,
250 hogs and $50 sheep; in all about 100 ami
mails. The cars which were going very rap
idly. were completely shattered to pieces, kill
ing or wounding hundreds of the animals, and
killing five men.

GENERA ScoTT.-While The schools of the
First Ward were resting in the shade of the
Treasury Department, on Thursday afternoon,
General Scott passed along the side walk. He
was instantly recognized, and the hats Of the
boys waved in the air, and the little girls -four
ished their white handkerchiefs and bouquets.
The General halted, and addressed them in
terms of great kindness. He was proud to
"lthess the appearance they presented and he
honored them, and their teachers, and the school
authorities, Tor their laudable efforts, and hoped
they would still press onward in their noble
pursuits. Inc children were delighted with
the incident, and though it may seem but a lit
lie one, ID will never be forgotten by them, and
the image of the gallant hero will live forever
40 their remembrance. - Washington Reputbhc.

DEATH OF COMMODORE JkCoB JoNEs.-Com-
modore Jacob Jones died in Philadelphia on
Saturday last, after a lingering illness. He
stood nearly at the head OF the list of post.
captains, two names only taking precedence
Capt. Jones, we believe, was a native of Del.
aware. He s one Of the number who in the
war of 1912 contributed TO establish the naval
renown of our country. He fought in the
Wasp one OF the bloodest naval battles in our
history, and captured in ID minutes the British
brig OF war Frolic of superior force, and under
circumstances highly unfavorable to success
For this action the Statesof Delaware, Massa-
chusetts, and New York, each voted him
sword in commemocatioaof of has gallantry. which
was in no wise impaired by the subsequent ca D.
ture Of both the Wasp and the Frolic, when
IN crippled condition, by British "a. Com.
Jones was, bat recently, governor Of the Naval
Asylum, on the Schuylkil. of the command of
which he had been relieved previous TO his
death.

DISTRESSING AccIDEST.-We ere gained to
learn that distressing accident occurred at
Northumberland, On Thursday morning last.
AS an open wagon, drawn by four horses, be-
longing TO A. 4. kapp, used for carrying pas.
sengers from the Junction to Northumberland,
since the breach in the canal, was crossing the
bridge over the West Branch canal, it suddenly
gave way, precipitatlng the wagon bottom up
wards into the canal. carrying with it the pas
sengers and horses. man named Jones, from
Danvile, was drowned. aHd another person
whose name We have not learned, was so Iaa-
terially injured that he is not expected to re-
cover. Two of the horses were also killed.
There were fourteen passengers IN the wagon
at the time Of the accident, most Of whom
were more or less injured. This dreadful
casualty occurred previous to daylight, and no
blame can be attached to the driver. The
bridge was pronounced unsafe for some time,
and, we are informed, the attention of the Su-
pervlsor was frequently directed 10 the neces.
sity Of its immediate repair, of which he took
no notice. Had The duties involved upon him
been attended to properly, we would not have
been called upon TO record this painful occur

HALIFAX, y. 3, August =, :. r. NJ.
The British Mail steamer Cambria arrived
here at Il O'Clock this afternoon, and sailed soon
afterwards for Boston. She brings dates from
Liverpool to the 9th uit., and London to the
26th
PoRrUGAL.-The Portuguese having declined
TO accede to the demands of the American Min
lister, he had demanded his passports. Ia anti
cipation Of leaving he advertised his household
furniture for sale. The American Squadron
has sailed for Tangiers Mr.. Clay, our Minis
ter, intended to leave Lisbon on the 18th inst.
ESGLAED.-1he intelligence of the death Of
Gen. Taylor had reached England, and pro-
duced great sensation. The leading Journals
of London, Liverpool and other places, were
-deyoting much space in their columns TO a re-
view of his character and exploits. A large
meeting of the American citizens assembled in
London upon learning Of his death, at which
the American Minister presided. Series Of
highly patriotic resolutions were read and unan-
imously adopted, expressing their sense of.re-
gret and sympathy with the family and the
country.
The political news Of England possesses but
little of general interest.
The Ministry have again been defeated in
Parliament on two of their own measures viz
the Jewish Emancipation Bill and the new Mar
riage Act
The Potatoe blight is said to have appeared
both in England and ireland. 1t is, however in
a mitgated form. Its effect, notwithstanding
IS beginning to be felt sensibly in the Corn mar
ket, although the coming crops present the pros
pect of an abundant harvest.
DENMARK AND THE DUCMEs.-Hostiltieg
have actually commenced between Denmark
and the Duchies-the latter having been de-
-clared by the former in a state of blockade.
There was action beWeeen z man-of-war
and German steamer, on the 2lst in which
the former suffered very seriously and was forced
to retreat. The hostile armies at last dates
were on the land and were face to face, and
bloody conflicts momentariiy looked for, and
the king of Denmark intends severe coercion
and is strongly backed, there remains no doubt
that severe end bloody conflict will ensue.

this city, have failed to large amount. The
failure has produced quite panic in mercantile
circles. The firm held avery large stock Of -four
