ARRIVAL OF THE GEORGIA..

DC Otcdliot Ocoigid dIEtHeu al
New York from Havana on the 9th
inst. Great excitement prevailed at
Havana in consequence Of the rumor-
ed invasion, and number Of persons
have been imprisoned on suspicion
of being concerned with the invaders.
Among them were three priests, for
preaching mutinous sermons.
The day Of the Georgia's arrival
was celebrated by the execution OF a
poor fellow who had been sent over
to Havana by Gen. Lopez, to obtain
pilots for the expedition. This is the
first execution for political offence
that has taken place in Cuba, and
has created considerable i'll feeling
against the Governor General, and
an opinion was entertained that ii
would strengthen the revolutionary
parry.
Mr.. Thurston, Congressional Del
egate from Oregon, died while on his
way home.
We make up the following sum-
mory of California news from the
Baltimore Patriot:
There had been a fight Sonora
growing out of some conflicting miner
claims, in which one man by the name
of Davis was killed, and some others
wounded. II was ct first rumored that
five men had been killed, which proved
untrue.
The health Of San Francisco has been
remarkably good. and the same may be
asserted of the entire State, so far at
least as any reports have come FROM
There can be no healthier country in
the world than California.
2 The annals of crime are as dark as
S ever, but the chance of punishment
: seems to have improved. Wildred aud
! Stuart, indicted for the murderous attack
upon and robbery of Mr.. Janson, and
whose supposed guilt had well nigh
( been expiated by lynch law and a rope,
have been tried before the District
Court. and found guilty of assault with
+ intent to kill and robbery. The jury
sentenced Stuart to fourteen years in
= the Penitentiary, the utmost they could
: give him. He has since been taken to
: Yuba county to be tried for MURDER
Widred was sentenced to ten years in
the Peniteniiary.
The Legislature passed bill author
izing the Attorney General to enter a
nolle prosequi in the case of Charles
Robinson and others Of Sacramento, in
dicted for conspiracy and murder in the
Squatter war, which has been vetoed by
the Governor.
Nearly a the rainy season which has
visited us this year came during the past
month of March. The snow, too. has
. appeared in the mountains beyond the
San Jose valley and farther TO the north.
This rain will prove of inestimable value
to the agricultural interests OF the State,
and perhaps so to many of the miners
DR.. Linn, formerly a lieutenant
under Col. Jack Hays, was shot by
an unknown man in the vicinity OF
the Mokelumne river.
Lieut.. w. H. Thompson, Of the
slOop of war Warren. died at San

longed to Virginia.
Capt. Elijah M. Jarvis was mur-
dered at the Mission Of dolores, near
San Francisco, on the evening oI
March 26. He was stabbed TO the
heart, while walking with his vile.
A man named Slater was in custody,
charged with the commission of the
crime. On the Both Of March, after
the adjournment Of the court, an at
tempt was made TO take the accused
from the hands of the officers, with
the intention Of han ing him. The
movement had been preconcerted,
and about twenty men on horseback
had come in from the mission with
the intention Of making a rescue. II
was, however, unsuccessful.

near as destructive to property as

is said, will cover the loss, which
