Miscellaneous.--Ye Yesterday morning, about
o'clock, officer ORegan and two others made a
seizure Of lot of ammunition, consisting Oft mum
Der of cases ofpowder four kegs OF bar lead LOT Of
percussion caps 800 pounds of balls, and lot of
moulds These articles were seized as they were
on the point of being embarked for the brig Car
oline, which was lying in the harbor. They were
seized on the supposition that they were intended
for an expedition TO Sonora. This supposition
proved true; for some time during the night the
brig Caroline got under weigh, and went out of
the harbor She cleared on Saturday for Quay
mas, and has without doubt sailed for that pori.
Il is impossible at present, 10 obtain any very full
particulars. II is said however, that she was well
provided with ammunition and provisions, and
that she took about two hundred passengers.
About dozen were left by her sudden departure.
Among those who have gone is Mr. William
Walker. II is said she had eight six-pounders on
board. She was towed out by steamer, and she
probably left so suddenly on account ofthe seizure
of ammuniton.--Aha Californian, Oct IT,

The last party reached the cape settlement about
the middle of June, and on the I'd OF July, the
thrilling cry of Sail Or greeted their ears This
proved TO be the Bremen ship Joseph Hayden,
Capt Goosman, who had heard of their wreck and
was in search Of them. The shpwrecked men
were Immediately taken on board, and every ut
tention shown them. From this ship they were
scattered among the feet, and some of them have
already arrived here, stated above. Capt. Nor
ton is on board the Helen Augusta, and is soon
expected at this port, upon whose arrival we may
be able 10 procure more details in regard to this
disaster. The Citizen was of 464 tons, and owned
in New Bedford, by j. Rowland, jr., 81 Co. She
had between two and three thousand barrels of oil
on board, with fair prospect of filling up, had she
not met with this disaster.
II is reported that, after the gale in September
abated there was season of fine weather, and
whales innumerable abounded. AS winter APP
preached, immense numbers were SEEN heading
southwark, and going through the straits into the
open sea.
The Arctic appeared to be frozen over with the
exception of holes here and there, and, from the
observations made il seems to be established that
the whales do not winter in the Arctic, but seek
milder temperature in the open sea outside the
straits
In view ofthe kindness shown these shpwrecked
men by the natives, when entirely within their
power, we cannot forbear the expression OF the
opinion that their conduct richly merits substan-
tial acknowledgment by the American government.
A few hundred dollars, in the form OF blankets,
thick cothing &c would reward them for the past,
and might secure to future shipwrecked crews at
tentions and aid that would sustain their lives and
restore them 10 their country.

few minutes before one o'clock, after our paper
had gone to press, the brick building near the
northern terminus Of 7th street set on fire and
consumed. The incendiary effected an entrance
by breaking through blind in rear of the house,
where he applied the torch to some combustible
materials on the first floor, which Immediately
communicated with the second, where tools and
other articles were deposited, consuming them ALL

deed but it is not at all improbable that the guilty
party will be discovered and brought to justice.
