The News.
The steamship Daniel Webster has arrived at
New Orleans from San JUAN with San Francisco
dates to the 9th inst. We have received abrsf sum-
mary OF the news by telegraph, but it contains no
thing Of interest from California, beyond the graft
flying fact that the intelligence from the mining dis
tFicts was of an encouraging nature. In Oregon
the Indians were continuing their depredations.
From Nicaragua the news is important. Colonel
Wheeler, our Minister, had formally recognised the
new government, and Colonel Walker reigned in
quiet, having undsputed possession of Granada and
the Transit route. General Corral, the "last armed
foe" Of Walker and who surrendered and acknow-
ledged the new order Of things, had been found
guilty Of treason and shot. Espinoza had been ban
ished, probably for similar cause. Walker GER
tainly acts promptly in his disposal of dangerous
opponents. Colonel Kinney was still negotiating at
Greytown, although number of his party had
joined the democratic army, which was daily re-
ceiving reinforcements.
We have news from Laguayra to the Sd inst
There was nothing new in politics. Business was
dull owing to the non.arrval of the coffee crop,
The yield of cotton was the largest ever known
The cholera was subsiding.
There seems to be but little doubt as to the sad
and shocking fate that befe the captain and crew
Of the schooner Eudora on Friday night last while
lying at anchor in Long Island Sound, between City
and Hart islands. From full account of the terri
BILE affair, as published in another column, we
led to suppose that foul work indeed has been
mitted. The negro cook arrested on suspicion Of
being the perpetrator OF this awful crime tells such
contradictory and improbable stories about the
whereabouts of the crew that little doubt exists in
the minds Of people residing in the neighborhood Of
the spot as to his guilt in the matter. Wilson, for
such is the negros name, is lodged in White Plains
Jail. None of the bodies have yet been recovered;
but the bed clothes and clothing of the victims deep
" stained with blood, is proof evident to the minds
OF all that wholesale murder has been committed.
Read the account given by our correspondent.
Thetrial Of Louis Baker, indicted for the murder
of William Poole, was commenced yesterday in the
Court of Oyer and Termner but at the rising of the
Court at four o'clock, only nine jurors had been
empannelled, in consequence of the difficulty in find
ing men who had not formed an opinion on the mat
ter Several persons were excused for various other
reasons, and six were challenged peremptorily by
the counsel Of the accused. The court room was
crowded with spectators, who evinced intense in
terest in the proceedings.
The Coroner's investigation into the circumstances
by which Mr.. Edward Neville, late proprietor of the
Kings County Hotel, came to his death on the 9th
inst, was resumed yesterday. From the full report
OF the testimony, given in another column it will be
seen that the surgeon who made the post mortem
examination of the body, is Of opinion that Mr. Ne
villcs death was not caused by violent blows upon
the head, as had been conjectured by many
persons. It will also be seen that the fireman and
deck hand who were on duty on the ferry boat on
the night on which Mr.. Neville disappeared are
quite positive that he was on board about o'clock,
and that he did not 60 ashore when the boat reached
her destination the Williamsburg side. The
statements OF these witnesses are clear that the
impression is irresistible that Mr. Neville persisted
by his own act. The investigation will be continued
to-day, when, perhaps, other circumstances may be
brought to light which will place different aspect
upon this sad and mysterious affair."
