THE HUpsoN RIVER CALAMITY.-At a late
hour last night. the entire mass Of broken ma.
chinery, boilers and bed plates, was removed
from the wreck Of the Clay, and placed upon
the derrick. The workmen finally managed to
run a heavy chain under the bottom Of the
wreck, af Of the wheels. The huge tackling
apparatus was then attached, and the powerful
operation Of the derrick soon raised the stern
from the bottom. The graphing irons and
rakes of every description were brought into
reuuisition, and the bottom was dragged for
nearly two hours without finding any other
bodies. e.
During this forenoon, additional cables will
be placed under other parts of the shattered
hull of the Clay, when it will be raised free
and ciear from the water, and the search for
bodies be resumed. Many persons are still
firm in their opinion that several bodies are
yet lying buried in the mud beneath the remain.

N. Y. Times, Tuesday.
The New York Tribune of Tuesday, says
From information obtained yesterday morn-
ing, there is strong reason to believe, that DIR.
George Bell. of Alexandria, Va, his wite's
sister, and two children; one a girl aged five
years, and boy three years old, were lost
from the Henry Clay. MIR. Bell started from
home, about ten days ago 10 fetch Mrs. Bell,
his child, who had been on visit to Mrs. Bell s
father residing near Rochester, and the family
were expected at home by the middle of last
week, but as yet they have not returned, nor
have any tidings been obtained respecting them
in consequence of which, under the present
circumstances their friends are in the greatest
distress of mind.
1t is with the deepest regret that we announce
that Mrs. Hill the principal of the Philadelphia
School Of the Design of Women, together with
her sister, Miss Eliza Smith, of this city, have
been ascertaned 10 have persisted on board the
hapless steamer Henry Clay. Mrs. Hill and
her sister had been visiting friends in Pough-
keepsie, and it was expected that they would
join Mr.. Speed of Baltimore, who was also lost
ON his way down the river, and return TO Phila-
delphia with him. But their friends had hoped
that something might have prevented them
from coming at that time, and would not give
them up until some positive discovery should
remove all doubt. This discovery has been
made, and one of the bodies that had lain un~
recognised for several days, proves TO have
been that of Mrs. Hill. We believe that no
discovery has been made of her sisters remains.

AMERICAN ENTERPRIsE..A writer in the
Kingston lJamaica) Journal, speaking of rich
copper mine recently discovered near Metcalfe,
in that island, says: g. t
Mr.. Arthurs, the American Mining Captain,
is the fortunate man who discovered this mine,
the steep part of the surface of which appears
TO have been washed off by the heavy rains,
leaving an immense surface of ore embedded
in bush and vegetative matter. The Americans
are indeed going ahead Of the English Mining
Companies in Jamaica, Tor they are now in
possession, 10 all human appearance, of one of
the richest and most promising copper mines
probably in the world. Jonathan. | expect,
and not John Bull-though The Captain him.
self may be ohm Bull-wll have the credit
of being the first discovererpf one Of Jamaica's
richest occult treasures.
EXPULSION OF THE FoREIGNERs.-The
Stockton Journal gives the following account
of difficulties between the foreign and Ameri-
can minersi in Mariposa county: t
A number Of foreigners, principally Mexi-
can, who have been settled for some time at q
place called Mariposita, on the Maiposa, had
turned the stream aud found good diggings.
possession of which was claimed by body of
Americans, who denied the right of foreig ners
to work with them. The latter, to the num-
Der Of three or four hundred, headed by a
Frenchman, resolved upon defending their
claims.
The Americans Immediately sent out rum
GERS, and some two hundred armed men COLI
'ected, when the foreigners deemed it prudent
to retire, leaving their claims aud Improvements
in possession of the Americans. Al one time
il was thought there would be much blood
shed, but the report is that only one gun was
fired. Some twenty-five or thirty foreigners
were arrested, but what disposition had been
made OF them we have not heard. The Anne.
ricans, not satisfied with having driven the
Spaniards and Frenchmen from Marposiia,
organised scouting party, and rode through
the country, ordering all foreigners off within
twenty four hours.
Its stated in the San Francisco papers that
the Americans had allowed The French miners
until the 4th of July TO decide whether they
would leave Mariposa county. The inference
is that if they did mol peacefully depart by that
time, force would be resorted to.
