The CARPET BAG RoBBERY.-T ex,
animation OF Charles Mcdonald before
the Recorder, fully develops the bold
and daring transaction by which the
money was obtained from the steamer
Sea Bird. Mcdonald was examined
separately, in order that the others ar
rested upon the same charge might
have No knowledge of the evidence pro-
duced against their confederates. The
specimens and leather bags found were
clearly identifi by their owners, Messrs
McAllister and Brannan, and the whole
transaction was brought to light. The
confession of Nc Donald impicates Bax-
ter, and makes him guilty of the crime
of planning the affair and forging the
check. The money which was thus
obtained was equally divided, at house
on Kearney street, between three per.
sons Bungaree Jack, who was the last
person arrested, obtained, it is said, be-
tween $500 and $400 az his share of the
pluuder. Mcdonald was sent up to the
Court of Sessions, to await his trial upon
the charge of being accessory to the
crimes Of forgery and robbery.

tempt was made to expel number Of
the enemy who were supposed to be
lurking about. This was met by des-
perate resistance. and loss on the Eng.
lish side unparalleled during the war.
Lieut.. Col. Fordyce, Lieutenants Carey
and Gordon. of the 74th Highlanders,
and Capt. Devenish, Of the Levies fell.
The Colonel did not survive his wounds
more than ten minutes. His last words
were What will become of my poor
regiment ?"
After this affair, the weather having
become very severe, General Somerset t
withdrew his troops to the camp at
Blinkwater. The next movement was
to be combined one Of the two divisions
under Gen. Somerset and Col. McKenna,
across the Rye. against Krelis, the prin-
cipal chief in Kafirland. The force was
to consist Of one thousand cavalry, and
two thousand infantry They were to
move on the I'd ult. for the Unwani, and
their operations, it was expected, would
occupy month.
Another reverse had been sustained
by the English troops at the Lagas, on
the coast of Africa, in an attempt to
chastise the native King for slave deal
ing. The force consisting of 260 officers
and men, were repulsed with considera-
BILE loss.

Relief for the North Americas Pas
ScngerS We understand from the
agent of Vandcrbilt's Independent Mic
aragua Line, that the attempt to char
ter steamer at this port, to proceed
to Acapulco and re,embark the pas
sengers by the North America for
this place, has failed. Parties were
in treaty to procure the Columbia for
this service, but there is no steamer to
take her place in the mail line hence
to Oregon. 1t is now determined to
fit out the clipper ship Northern Light
to 90 down the coast to the relief Of
the shipwrecked passengers and crew.
She will be put in complete order and
dispatched immediately.-Alta.

STRANGE MURDER Casa murde

STRANGE MURDER Casa murder
case, attended with some very strange
circumstances, is occupying the atten-
tion of the people of New York. AGer.
man, Of the name of Grunzig, was tried
and convicted Of the crime Of murder
ing his wife, by administering poison to
her in soup. He was accordingly sen.
fenced to be executed on certain day.
AS however, the condemned man ex-
pected a Communication Of his sentence,
and did not prepare to die, the Governor
postponed his execution. AS the day OF
execution approached a second time, he
gave up all hope of reprieve or commu-
tation, and prepared to die. Meantime
however, a woman who was his kept
mistress, comes forward and says that
Grunzig is innocent, and that she it was
who administered the poison, and that
the condemned man partook Of it too.
Under these circumstances, the Cover
nor has granted another respite, and the
woman was arrested.

IMPROVEMENT IN MoRALs.-Someth thing
strange, and which should not 90 un-
chronicled, is the fact that this morning
there was not single person in the
dock at the opening of the Recorders
Court. The judge looked in perfect as.
constituent, and seemed to think that
by some neglect the usual number OF
bruised heads and bungsd eyes had in
advertently been left in the lookup.
There was no mistake, however, for dur
ing the twenty four hours only two mr.
rests had been made, and those for
trivial offences. This speaks well for
the morality Of our citizens, and it may
bc the dawnins Of new era in the his
tory of the city. 1t is sgratifying to think
that for the whole space of one day in
San Francisco, not drunken person
has been picked up, nor single theft
committed. How long this may con-
tinue is uncertain, as tomorrow is day
in which the picture gallery is largely
represented by specimens of degeners-
ted mortals, the victims of bad habits
and worse rum. 1t is satisfaction at
least to know that there is occasionally a
page in the criminal calender, unstained
by the record of crime or disgraceful
dissipation --Alta.

CENTENNIAL FAMILY GATHERING.-A
correspondent of the Albany Evening
Journal gives On interesting account Of
Thanksgiving Festival held by the
descendants Of Capt. Isaac Lawrence,
one Of the first settlers of the town of
Canaan, Connecticut, on the 9th of
November last. The festival was held
in house built by Capt. Lawrence just
one hundred years ago. There were
present at this meeting seventy-five pcr-
sons, from different States and from
Canada, their ages varying from eleven
weeks to upwards of three score and
ten years. Fifty eight of this number
were his own posterity; sixteen of them
their husbands and wives and one on
adopted member.
A paper relating to the name from
early times, and to this particular fami-
iy, was read; ancient family relics were
exhibited and addresses made, which,
with some appropriate religious exerci-
ses, formed the ceremonial Of the occa.
sion. The autographs of such of the
company as were cid enough to write
their names, with their ages and places
Of residence, were preserved in book
to be exhibited at the next meeting,
which was appointed to be held in the
year nineteen hundred and fifty one.

TUNNELs.-The recent extraordinary
success that has attended the working
OF MIR. smiths tunnel on Corral Hill has
induced great numbers Of miners to en-
bark in slmilar..op erations. In the tun-

traoreinary high prices owing to- the
great richness of the claim. The gold

The Nevada journal., 1852-03-25

Great excitement prevailed in town
yesterday, relative to the extraordinary
yield of the Corral Hill tunnels. A large
piece of gold, taken out Of one of them,
set all parties on the qui Uiue, to get a
look at it, its weight having been much
exaggerated. Bells were rung, auc-
tioneers proclaimed its beauty, and the
anxious countenances Of men, women
and children, as they ran hither and
thither to see this wonderful specimen,
were ludicrous in the extreme. An ac-
quaintance Of ours who had bought .
fourth interest in ono of these tunnels
on Thursday evening for $500, had his
money refunded, from the proceeds Of
the claim, before five o'clock last cvs-
ming. The great success attending the
working of tunnels shows most conclu-
sively that gold digging on Mekelumne
Hill is, as yet, in its infancy, and that
the new process of mining (tunnsling)
lately introduced, will tend far more to
the development Of our immense rssour.

KELsEY's DRY DIGGINGs We learn
from MIR. Albert Zabriskie, who con-
versed on Saturday with miner just
down from Kelsey's, that since the late
rains the miners in the dry diggings on
the dividing ridge, have been very sue
oessful, and that many are rapidly nc
cumulating fortunes. The average il
stated to be at the lowest calculation an
ounce per day to the man. MIR. Z. was
shown number Of large and beautiful
specimens among them an immense
lump shaped somewhat like the hu an
hand, and on its surface small pieces
which appeared us if they had been SOL
dered into the large lump through vio-
lent volcanic action The value of this
specimen is estimated at $4OoO.-Union.

SAD AccIDESr-A son of Mr.. Hyde,
about eleven years of age, met with a
severe accident yesterday morning. He
was elinging to one Of the cars carrying
the sand removed by the Steam Exca-
vator, to fill up the water lots, when,
loosing his grasp, to regain his hat which
had blown of, he fell across the track,
and the wheels Of the loaded car passed
across his legs, wounding him in a most
shocking manner. He was at once re-
moved to the Rassette Hosue, where his
mother is staying, and DR.. Hastings
called in. His legs were found to be
so badly mutilated that amputation be-
came necessary. Chloroform was ad-
ministered and by this means the poor
little fellow was rendered insensible to
the terrible operation that was perform
ed upon him. He is yet unconscious
that his legs have been taken off His
father is absent from the city, in the

We learn from the San Francisco
papers that the boy referred to above,
died on Friday last. Previous to his
death subscription had been started
for the purpose of raising fund to pro-
vide for his education and support.

INCREASE OF BRICK BUILDINGS There
are at this time but few brick buildings
IN course of erection throughout the
city, owing to circumstances which, it
is thought, will be of very short continu-
ance. Those that are going up, how
ever, are of the most expensive and sub
stantial character. Upon the lot on
which Delmonico formerly stood, which
has been uuiinpIoved ever since tho FIRE
of May last, Il fns three story house is
now being built. This fills up the only
gap in The row of brick buildings ex-
tending along the west side of Mont
gomory. from Sacramento o Washington
street, and completes the barrier against
the extension of any fire starting in the
upper portion of the city, to that portion
lying east Of Montgomery street.
Messrs. Tobin u Duncan are also
building spacious brick warehouse Just
below Leidesdortf street extending back
one hundred and twenty feet from Long
wharf to Sacramento street, with front
upon each. 1t is built in the most sub
stantial style, and will be made tho
roughly fire proof When finished it
will make one of the handsomest stores
in the city.
We hear Of upwards of forty brick
buildings which it is contemplated to
erect, as soon as the price of brick is a
little lower. At present, owing to the
quantity Of this article destroyed and
sweps oi by the foods in the interior,
the price is very high. The fine weather
We have had for the last week, combin-
ed with the great demand existing, will
set the up-river manufacturers to work

that occurs, building will commence

DEArR OF T. S. FAiRcnILp.--Tench S.
Fairchild the well known actor, died
on Friday morning last, at the Phenix
Hotel, in Sacramento city, where he
had been confined by sickness for seve-
raj weeks previous. During his illness
he was most assiduously attended by
his wife Miss Carpenter) who watched
over him constantly, providing for his
wants, and al ieviating his suffsrings by
every means in her power. Having ex-
bausted all her available resources dur
her husbands sickness, the theatrical
corps in Sacramento have rendered her
a benefit, for the purpose Of providing

FIVE HUNDRED PERSONS DESTROYED

FIVE HUNDRED PERSONS DESTROYED
BY WATER observation-disclosures has
been received at Lloyd's, under date of
Malta. Dec. 8, Of most awful occur
renee at the island of Sicily, which had
been swept by two enormous water
spouts, accompanied by terrific hurri-
cane. Those who saw the phenomena
describe the water-spouis as two i'm
menss spherical bodies of water, reach-
ing from the clouds, their cones nearly
touching the earth, and. as far as could
be judged, at a quarter of mile apart,
travelling with immense velocity. They
passed over the island near Marsala.
In their progress, houses were un-
rooted, trees uprooted, men and women
horses, and cattle, and sheep were raised
up, drawn into the vortex, and borne on
to destruction; during their passage
rain descended in cataracts, accompa-
MED with hail stones of enormous size
and masses Of ice. Going over Castella-
MARE, near Stabia, it DESTROYED half
the town, and washed 200 OF the inhab-
itants into the sen, who all perished.
Upwards of 500 persons have been de-
stroyed by this terrible visitation. and
an immense amount OF property, the
country being laid waste for miles. The
shipping in the harbor suffered severely,
many vessels being destroyed, and their
crews drowned. After the occurrence
many dead human bodies were picked
up frightfully mutilated and swollen.
