Revolt or PRIsoNERs.-Ths State
prisoner. on board the prison brig at
Angel Island, rose on their guard on
Saturday morning last, and nearly sue
ceeded in effecting their escape. One
Of the prisoners named Williamson, was
killed in the fight, and MIR. Geo. Kohler,
captain of the guard, was accidentally
wounded in the shoulder by pistol
shot from one Of the guard. The guard
at length succeeded in putting down
the revolt. The ringloaders were pro-
perly chastised, and additional precau-
lions taken to prevent similar occur
renee in future.

LEES CIRcUs.--This renowned corps
Of performers, arrived in our town on
yesterday. At the time our paper goes
to press, We have had no opportunity to
witness their performances, but the
sources from which we gather the opin.
ion we have formed are such as forbid
the possibility of disappointment. Ma.
ny Of the eulogies we see in the newspa.
pers, on the splendid performances of
companies, too many Of them in fact, are
mere pufs, designed as such. But from
the many--the very great number Of
persons. with whom we have convcrsed,
and who have witnessed the brilliant
performances Of this company, we nre
satisfied they have no equals in this
State, and we doubt whether they have
in the United States. They perform
Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights,
and perhaps longer.

FROM MARIPosA.--A correspondent

from Fort Miller, has the following:
"The Indians are quiet; but the tohite
horse thieves and Mexicans are occa-
sionally practicing to keep their "hands
in" There is body of Mexicans down
tho river about thirty miles in very
secret camp, almost invisible, who have
large number Of tame animals-report
says near q hundred. They number
between twenty and thirty, and no
doubt their scouts are out continually,
and that that is the grand depot of sto-
len animals in oil this section of coun-
Try. 1t is also supposed that the two
Mexicans who shot young Ruddell. a
week ago, have taken refuge in this
camp; there are about thirty men, in
different parties, in pursuit Of the MUIR
derers, aud they will not escape appre-
hension as they are known.

HAY.-New hay is now coming into
market in abundance, and selling at
$18 per ton. IL is dull Of sale at this
price, but il cannet be afforded for less.
Were it not for the impression that the
market will be glutted next winter.
there weuld certainly be an over supply
As it is, the emigration, and the i'm
menso quantity Of stock coming over,
will cause an increased demand. Be-
sides, 20 much hay was lost during the
rainy season, that few vial be disposed
to stack it in the field, as they did last
year. There is little or no old hay in

ten o'clock, was standing in front Of
Hirst, Gray & Wallis store, conversing
with several gentlemen, when sudden
ly our conversation was cut short by
noise resembling thunder. 1t was thun-
Ger, but not the bolts of Jove as he gives
intelligence Of On approaching storm !;
but it was the laundering clatter of
horses hoofs, as they care up Pine street
at a speed endangering the necks Of
their riders. A young gentleman stand
ing by exclaimed, "There comes some
gamblers on q tare." But as the horses
came round tho corner Of Pine and
Broad streets we beheld what we least
expected. Upon the backs Of each
steed was borne the form of man, not
as was anticipated Of the sporting class,
but bearing the more honorable cogno-
men of Reverend; and as they rode at
race horse speed, waving to and fro. their
feet slipping from the stirrups, they
clinched their horses names, and went
laundering on, wo know not where.
From oil appearance We werc satisfie d
they were on "bust" We wish them
safe return, and hope they may not
break their necks in their next turn

|, RoBBERr IN GRASS VALLEY.-On Wed.
,esday night last the house of Mrs Glynnc
ras entered, and robbed Of $3.50 in cash, and
pme very rich specimens from the Helve-
IA Tunnel. The specimens, it is said, could
kc easily recognized.

ars Glynn's, heard man cndcavoring to
emovo trunk from the house. Upon her
Trying out, he called her by name, and
|hrcatencd to Kill her il she made an alarm,
'ut not succeeding in suppressng her cries,
20 was finally compelled to retreat without
ffccting the contemplated robbery.
The Benton House was also visited by the
light fingered gentry, who carried of mo-
hey drawer, containing $500. This is ma
king fair start for the first nights opera
|tions.
RoBDERy IN NBvADA-On Sunday night
n man staying at the Central House in this
place, was robbed Of somc $500, while
asleep. He had the money under his head
from whence in was removed without crea-
ting any alarm.
On Sunday morning last, two men
hired each q good horse at Mr.. Sadler's
Livery Stable, for the purpose Of riding to
Rough and Ready. They were seen to pass
through Rough and Ready on a fast gallop,
but left the road soon after, it is supposed
as they cosld be traced no farther. Mr.
Sadler offers reward 500 for informa-
ton that will lead to the detection Of the vii.
lains and recovery Of the property. One oi
tho horses was purely white; the other
black.
In all probability the rc-organixation oi

route them out Of their den, whence they
have found their way into the mines, and nc
