BY the arrival Of the schooner Maria
we have received advices from Homo

following from the Polyncsian:
VESSEL CUT OFF AND CREw MURDERED.
Capt. George Heath, Of the bark Pes.
cadorc, Of Valparaiso touched at Chat
ham Island. one of the Galapagos. on
his recent voyage to this port. He has
kindly furnished us with the following
particulars Of the massa ere of the crew
of an American sloop, and the dcstruc-
zion of the vessel, by the convicts on
that Island.
From the information communicate d
to him, it appears that about the middle
Of November last, the sloop Phantom,
Capt Kendall, Of San Francisco visited
that island for a cargo of turtle. A boat
was sent ashore with all the crew. ex.
cept the captain, mate and boy. While
thus weakened, boat with Eve convicts
came of, attacked the vessel, and killed
the mate; on observing which, the can.
tain jumped overheard. but was pursued
"'N htAtSN SIS kuC WNtCE. u1 DlEAtGs
then returned to the vessel, killed the
boy. and plundcred the vessel. Money
to the amount Of $1,000 or $4,000 was
supposed to have been on board. After
robbing the vessel of all they wanted
she was scuttled and sunk. The party
on shore were all killed by the conyicts,
who quarrellcd among themselves and
killed ono Of their own number.
Capt. Heath saw ON shore chronom-
eter, the miniature and clothes of Cant
Kendall, and was informed by the Eng
lish captain of Spanish brig that two
OF the perpetrators Of the massacre had
boon apprehended, and that the other
two were still at large in the ountains
Murders are of frequent occurrence
on all the Gallipagos group among the
convicts. While passing out between
two of the islands, whale boat manned
by prisoners, came alongside, and re-
ported that three men were murdered
the day before, one Of whom was q white
man, supposed to have been runaway

day night some members Of the San Fran

however, the transaction Of some official but
sinrss during their stay. They apprchcRded
and took with them colored individual who
has been around Nevada two or three weeks,
who Is charged with divers offences at San

From Calaye..ax.

We take the following from the cor
respondence Of the Union, dated Jack
con. June 6, 1852:
Our hitherto quiet village has lately
been the scene Of unnatural excitement, {,
growing out of the frequent perpetration
of crime in this vicinity. Our civil laws
have hitherto rendered US no protec ton,
either for life or property, as is evident
from the fact that not single criminal
has ever been punished in this county
since its organization.
Last Wednesday. a gambler. named
r. F. Moore, in quarrel with I'm un-
armed miner, drew pistol and fired
twice at him, and one Of his bills, mis-
sing the intended victim, passed through
tho body Of u bystander named Norris.
The latter is not yet dead, but is proba.
bly, mortally wounded. Moore was ar
rested. but was soon after taken from the
Jail by the Vigilance Committee, who
not being able to agree MS to his punish.
ment, returned him to The civil author
tiles, from whom he shortly after made
his escape. On Saturday he was recap
tured, and had an examination before
Justice Dunham. A largo body Of mi
ners assembled, determined that he
should not again escape, but he sudden.
ly disappeared from the court room, and
was no doubt allowed to do SO by the Of.
ficers who had him in charge He i.
reported to have been seen on his way
to Sacramento.
To-day, one Mexican shot another
near this town, and was arrested BY the
civil authorities. The miners are flock.
ing into town from every direction as
write, and what viii be the result, an
unable TO predict The probability i.
that be will be summarily executed.

be finished before the immigration ar.

the distance from Carson to this county

that Gov. Bigler will make an inspec-

FROM YREEA MIR. A. J. Horsely, ot

in this place on Thursday last from

As MIR. Horsely was on his way up, on
the 2Sth ult., seven Indians were dis

who manifested o disposition to attack
the party, which consisted of three be-.

themselves on this section Of the road
to Yreka.
Many persons who left Shasta Valley
for the mines on Rogue River are now
returning. They report the mines on
Rogue River to be exceedingly rich, but
they were not Of sufficient extent to
afford claims to all who were attracted
thitheY. Those who have claims upon
the river are generally obtaining great
abundance Of gold.
The mines on Dead Woed creek, near
ireka are proving to be exceedingly
rich. 1t is thought that very large
amount Of gold will be taken from this
creek during the present RUNNER.
Business in Yreka is very lively. Mer.

FRoM SINGAPORE Dates have been
received from Singapore to the 4th Of
April. The tigers in the vicinity con-
tinuc to commit terrible ravagcs. The
Free Press notices no less than threo
persons carried of by them within one
week.
The British ship Of tho line Hastings,
bearing the flag Of the naval commander
in chief, had arrived at Singapore, and
was only awaiting the arrival Of tho
mail to proceed to Rangoon.
The Chinese pirates are becoming
bold in their depredations. An expedi-
tioa consisting of the British sloop Of war
Cleopatra, and the war steamers Semi
ramis and Pluto had just returned from
cruise against the Suloo pirates on the
east coast Of Borneo, to avengc tho mur-
ders they committed on board tho Dol
phin. This strong force proceeded to
the mouth Of the Biniabatangan rivers
and despatched fifteen boats up tho
river TO Tunkup-thc headquarters Of
the Suloo pirates. After much exposure
to the sun, and by dint of great perse-
verance and personal exertions. tho flo-
tilla reached the place, when sharp
Ere was opened upon them from the
stockades Tho utmost activity pre-.
vailed in the flotilla, but although tho
stockades were carefully approached and
surrounded, the pirates managed to es-
oape unseathed, making repeated steal
thy attacks as opportunity offered. OF
the expedition we hear that three men
were killed-ons belonging to each ship
and an equal number Of wounded
whilst on the part Of the pirates there
was not the slightest indication Of
man even being wounded. The expe-
dition found largo stores Of grain, Sc,
which they destroyed; they also burned
