Gates the most favorable results Of the late
experimental trip Of the Ericsson steamer:
New YoRK, May 2, 1854
Sirs:-The serious accident to the Sea
loric ship" last Thursday, has deprived
me of the anticipated pleasure Of inviting
you to witness the performance Of the new
machinery of this ship. Previous to the
untoward occurrence, Mr.. Kitrhing had
cheerfuIy acceded to my proposition of
making formal trial trip this week, to
afford the New York Press an opporu-
nifty Of witnessing the practical operation
Of the new machinery, and of hearing my
EXPLANATION of the important changes
which have been made in regard to that
motive which, a year ago, was heraIded
to the world by the distinguished press OF
New York, in manner altogether unpre-
cedented in the history Of mechanical
progress.
AS soon as the ship and machinery are
again in serviceab,e condition., | shall not
lose Il moment in performing the agree
able task Of rendering the proposed ac-
count of the invention In the meantime
| have to state, that when the noble ship
went down, the motive power had proved
completely successful. The engines had
not been put to amy thing like Maximum
work, and yet we attained speed of
more thar eleven miles an hour. with
consumption Of fuel which promises to
render ocean navigation, in point Of econ
orny, what it has ready proved in point
of celebrity, am, very respectfully,
your Ubedient servant,

FIRE TN SoNORA-TwELvE HOUSES
BURNED.-By an extra of the Sonora
Herald dated July 81, we learn that
fire broke out in that place about half past
9 o'clock. originating in IA frame building
on the corner of Holden and Lyon streets,
in the quarter generally called Greaser-
town, from the fact of its being inhabited
by Mexicans. The buildings in tha,
neighhorhood being all of light inflanable
materials, the flames spread quickly and
blazed up so fercely as to cause the clti-
zens to feel alarmed for the safety of the
city. 1t was feared for time that the
city was doomed to destruction again.
The Hook and Ladder and Hose com
panies were on the ground quickly, and
what with their efforts and the individual
exertions of citizens in throwing water on
the houses contiguous to the conhagratlon,
it was soon cot under, and the city saved
from total destruction. About twelve
buildings were destroyed, principally oc-
cuped by Mexicnns
The body Of a man, supposed to be IL
Mexican, has been found in the ruins,
charred so much that recognition is next
to impossible. 1t is generally said, how
ever, to he the remains Off Mexican who
had gone to bed Intoxicated previous to
the breaking out Of the fire.

Later from China.

All is quiet at Shanghae. The Consuls
of Great Britain, America and France
have made statement to the Chinese
pubic, giving their reasons for the recent
attack upon the Inperalist camp. After
giving an account of the ontrages perpe-
trated upon foreigners. they state that it
was necessary to diSlodge the Imperialsts
from the position they had taken, and
from which these outrages proceeded, and
conclude with the declaration of the in
tention to maintain their rights whenever
assaled.
THE REBELLION 1t appears that the
lmperialiStS have been successful in one
quarter, and the Insurgents in another,
but there is nothing satisfactory or definite
in regard to their operations.
The emigration to California is on the
increase, and the vessels are overloaded
with passengers.
