New Orleans, selected and occupied the same
staie-room Grigsby, previous TO starting from

and before all had retired from the table, McClel.
Ian discovered that his state-room had been en-

amount Of gold, eleven thousand four hundred dol.
lars, taken. Instant search was instituted and
aided by the officers Of the boat, all the baggage
was overhauled; state-room and every nook and
corner Of the cabins ransacked, but al 10 no pur-
pose. The gold was gone, and has not been seen
or heard OF from that moment 10 this and not

Hon. Il. b. KIsG's REPoRT.-We give this morn
ing, 10 the exclusion of various articles prepared
for to-day's paper, Mr.. Kings report California
which has been anxiously looked for by the pub
lie This valuable and interesting document
though of great length, will amply repay attentive
perusal. In the first place it settles completely all
the idle rumors about Executive usurpation, which
have been made the occasion of 30 much unmean-
ing and frothy defamation against General Taylor
and his cabinet, by establishing that Mr.. King had
no instructions, either written or verbal, to inter-
fere and in point Of fact did not interfere, with any
of the questions determined by the convention
which formed the State constitution
II is, however, principally in reference 10 the So
cial and physical condition of California that this
report win prove of absorbing interest. In these
branches of the subject Mr. King has addressed him
self with great earnesness and zeal, and the facts
he has accumulated and the observations he has
made are creditable alike to his industry and his
intelligence. He discusses the various questions of
soil, climate, and products at great length, and
presents many new details in connexion with these
topics.
of the mineral wealth and the commercial capa-
cities of California, Mr. King speaks in terms which
might seem to be exaggerated, if experience had
not shown his views to be altogether probable In
deed, when the marvels which the past year has ex-
hibted in that region are remembered, no stretch
of imagination appears adequate TO the develop
ments Of the great future 10 which il lie destined.

the temperance Of this individual has not been
cleared up. A gentleman who is interested in the
matter, and who went TO Liverpool a short time
vciopments have resulted. The gentleman re-
ported 10 have seen Mr.. Hunt in Liverpool Mr.
Scott of Manchester, reiterates his statement tina
he did have half an hours conversation with Mr.
Hunt in Liverpool, who told him he had been trav-
cling on the Continent Nothing has been seen or
heard Of Hunt since, and the inference from all the
circumstances Of the is, that Mr.. Scott was
mistaken in the person. Mr.. Hunt disappeared
about two years since, at Charleston, and was
known 10 have but a small amount of money with
him. II s difficult. therefore, TO conceive how he
could have travelled for two years ON the Continent
without funds.
The doubt thrown by these rumors upon the
death Of Mr.. Hunt cmbarrasses the settlement OF
his estate, and measures will probably be taken to
ascertain definitely the truth Of them.

Miss KIMBERLy.-We again remind the public
that this lady will read ROMEO and JULIET this
euering at Carusi's saloon. Among the number of
persons OF genius and talent of either who have
undertaken TO render the works of him who has
written not for age but for all time" there are
few truly deserving commentator than Miss
Kimberly. She has correct appreciation Of the
and spirit Of the drama-possesses fine voice
and one of great hexibility and compass, which
enables her to render every part Of the play with
justice and propriety; while large and expressive
eye, and face Of much beauty, add to her person
alton of the characters.
The manner in which she renders Romeo and
Juliet may be inferred from the following, which
We copy from the Savannah Georgian;
MAS Rimberly's Readings Of Shakespeare -Iast
night this lady opened her intended course Of three
readings Of Shakespeare, with that Of Romeo and
Juliet Before hearing her VIC expressed the opin-
ion that the attention could not be held by any
reader for two hours. With this prepossession we
how the dialogue could be rendered so as to give
the nearer distinct idea Of the interlocutprs. The
result, 30 far as our own opinions are concerned s
a complete triumph of Miss Kimberly's powers as
a dramatic reader II has been our good fortune
many times, in a now rather long career a dra-
matte spectator TO witness the presentation Of this
drama on the stage, but never, and speak ad-
visedly, never was attention more enchanted,
more fully displayed to our mind, than last night
The variety ofintonaton by which she distinguished
the several characters was astonishing Many
scenes were given with the most thrilling interest
and brought forth from the audience repeated pau-
dts. The late hour at which write, and our
limited space, forbid detailed critique; but VIC
would signalize the death Of Mercutio and
the great solloquy Of Juliet before taking the poison

pathos 70 any effort we have a stage,
with all the appurtenanoes Of dress and scenery.
After the mind has recovered from the intense feel
ing produced, we wonder how IL could possibly
have been done by lady, sitting at table, with
no single thing near her 70 produce any scenic iu
sion. Such is the force Of genius. On the whole,
then, we chronicle Miss Kimbery's debut in our
the praises Of the press, which have followed her
readings in other cities, have been richly deserved
We advise every lover Of Shakespeare to avail him
his orscles interpreted by priestess worthy OF
him."

letter from FRANCIS S. BARTON, esq, de-
Ginning a nomination as an alternate dele
gate to the Nashville convention, TO rep.
resent the Wing party Of the first Con-

clines on the ground that the people Of the

continue, it is probable that the popular
delegates will be destitute Of that acknow-
lodged constituency which can alone stamp
