DESTRUCTION OF OYSTERS s.-For some
eight months, Mr.. VIM. w. Russell and his
brother, well known as pioneers in the oys-
Ter trade of California, have been busily en-
gagged in transporting and planting oysters,
procured from Shoalwater Bay in Oregon,
and other points on the coast, in the Bay of
San Francisco. Up 10 Saturday last, they
had planted in all over three thousand bush
els, near the shore towards Mission Creek,
and on the south side of Mission Bay. Up.
on examining thSm yesterday, Mr. Russell
found that they had been totally destroyed,
having the appearance of being pounded in
to the mud, broken up, and their meat en-
tirely gone. What has been the occasion
of this, remains a mystery. Some of our
fishermen account for it as the ravages Of
marine fish, probably drum-fsh. The loss
is very severe one to the Messrs. Russell,
as well as to the citizens Of San Francisco,
who now look upon oysters as necessary for
daily use.-[San Francisco Wing, Oct. 5.

CONGRESSIONAL.

On the 3Cth Of August, in Senate,
Mr. GwIN moved ap amendment for tho
purchase Of a site and the construction of a
Navy Yard and Depot at San Francisco
with all necessary buildings, and directing
the completion Of the Dry Dock and Basin
and Railway, &c, at cost not exceeding
$4,000, and appropriating half million
to carry both objects into effect
Mr. CLARK opposed the amendment.
During the debate the Chair signed the
River and Harbor bill, the Ocean Mail Ap-
preparation bill, and the bill /" for the rera-
lation of boats propelled in whole or in part
by steam.'
Mr.. CLARK resumed his opposition 10 the
consideration of this subject at this time. If
il was persisted in he would have to 20 into
the question in lengthy remarks.
Mr.. BADGER replied, contending it was
poor economy to postpone the execution Of
the work, when a coatract had been made
for it.
Mr.. GwIN supported the amendment, and
Mr.. CLARK rejoined.
Mr.. BRoDHEAD said he was in favor Of the
navy yard and depot, but opposed to the
railway and basin.
The question was taken on that part 81
the amendment, providing for the purchase
of site for navy yard and depot, atd il
was agreed TO.
The second part, providing for the CON-
pletlon Of the contract for basin and rail
way in connection with a dry dock in Cali.
fornia, was rejected-Yeas 10, Nays 25.
Mr., GwIN offered an amendment provi-
ding for the purchase of vessels and fitting
them out, 10 be used in a reconnaissance
and exploration of the courses of navigation
used by whaling vessels in the regions oI
Behring's Straits, and also such part of the
China seas, Straits Of Jasper, and Java seas
as lie directly in the route of vessels pro,
ceeding to and from China, being the pro
visions of MIR, Seward's bill on this subject
