STRANGE RUMoRs The beautiful little war
steamer Santa Anna, built by Westervelt & Co,
is attracting good deal Of attention at the foot
of Gouyerneur street, East River, where she is
getting ready for her departure for Vera Cruz
She is pierced for fourteen guns, though she
will only mount ten. These guns are twenty
ty-four- Founders, and they give the steamer a
formidable appearance. Her officers and crew
consist Of citizens of the United States, and,
with the exception Of the captain, their engage
ments are made for two years.
If the rumors in circulation, however, are to
be believed, General Santa Anna will never see
the pretty little craft bearing his name among
the vessels of his navy.
1t is said that General Alvarez, the opponent
Of Santa Anna, is now in this city, engaged in
fitting out an armed expedition against the
present Mexican Government. Three or four
vessels have been named as connected with this
business, and among others the propeller
steamer Benjamin Franklin, which was for
merly engaged in the trade from New York to a
Southern port
She has on board ten thirty Two Founders
and all the ammunition required for a naval
engagement, if such thing should become
necessary. 1t is further rumored that she will
sail from this port several days before the Santa
Anna, and take the latter vessel at sea. Her
officers and crew consist Of Americans, all of
whom are to be literally rewarded in case of
success. '"Ey...s.,z@
The other vessels of Alvarez's party are said
to be ship, brig and schooner. They are pre-
pairing for sea at some point on the North or
East r iver, and the work is carried on SO Sc
cretly that the precise locality cannot be dis
covered.
General Alvarez, though supposed to be in
Mexico worrying Santa Anna, it is stated, was
seen in this city several evenings last week.
The most interesting rumor Of all is, that he
was constantly in company with Santa Anna 8
friends. This has given rise to suspicion that
Alvarez will make an easy conquest Of the war
steamer after her departure from this port. 1t
is even intimated that there is an understanding
between tie opposite parties to unite at sea and
place the Santa Anna in possession of Alvarez.
Some of the 100000 paid by the United
States to the Mexican Government, for the
Gadsden grant, will likely be carried to Vera
Cruz in the Santa Anna. and this is also said to
be an inducement to enlist Americans in the ex-
petition of Alvarez. After the capture Of the
vessel the plumber is to be divided New York

THE Press GANG IN AMERICA The Liverpool
Times has the following:
At our Police Court on Wednesday, Messrs.
W. and J. Maxwell, of this town, charged a
young sailor, Alexander Carter, with deserving
at New Orleans from their vessel, the Magis-
trate, and coming to Liverpool in an American
ship, the Rappahannock. The defense of the
prisoner, which was corroborated by the EVIL
dence of several American seamon, was as fol-
lows While in New Orleans he was seized BY
some crimps" and ssrunners," drugged, and
in state of comparative insensibility placed on
board the Rappahannock, where he was kept a
close prisoner till she sailed for Liverpool He
never signed any articles, nor did he get any
wages. The magistrates said that as Messrs
Maxwell did not wish to press the case against
him. and his story appeared to be true, they
would discharge him.

ANOTHER GREAT TREE IN CALIFORNIA, At a.
late meeting of the Boston Natural History
Society, DR.. Ayres furnished the following items
derived from DR.. Bigelow, of San Francisco, re-
lative to another huge tree in that region. The
tree lies on the ground, having fallen many
years since. From the base to the point where
it is broken off it Is found to be three hundred
and ten feet; all beyond this was burned, pro-
baby by the Indians, but fragments lie scat
tered along to the distance of hundred and
fifty feet, and from the size of these fragments,
Dr. Bigelow feels confident that the tree must
have been five hundred feet high. At the base
it is, by computation, one hundred and ten feet
IN circumference; at the end of three hun
bred and ten feet, it is by measurement forty
feet in circumference. This is almost as much
beyond, in size, the great tree which has at
tracted so much notice, as that is beyond trees
of common size. DR.. Abbott remarked that
Dr. Pickering has seen trees in California as
remarkable for their slenderness as well as
height He has seen one three hundred and ten
feet high, measuring only nine feet in diameter
at the base, and at the broken extremity only
nine inches.
