number remain to b removed. They were swallowed

NTHE OLYMPIA ScHooL.-The school in
this place, opened by, and continued under
the charge of Mr.. B. CORNELIUS, will be re-
opened, as per notice, and enter upon its
fourth regular quarter, on Thursday, the
Sth day of the present month. Mr.. c. has
already established a reputation of such
high favor amongst our citizens, in the ar
duous, delicate, and mpsterly discharge ol
his duty, and rendered such universal salts
faction to pupil and parent, that no further
earnest for the future is required, than has
been afforded by the past.

p9- The attention Of the reader is di-
rected to perusal, on the first page of to-
days paper, of petition addressed to the
Canadian Legislative Assembly, asking for
the grant of charter by the name of the
Northern Pacific RGit.cay Company, grant
ing the right of way, &c, for its commence
meat and construction through territory
over which the British government excrci-
ses jurisdiction, and asking for other privi-
liges. The petition, it will be seen, is sign
ed by responsible and influential gentlemen,
and may be looked upon as the entering
wedge to the stupendous project ultimately
destined to reach the waters of the North
ern Pacific.

Ra- W. b. ArFLEcE, Esq, who, it will
be recollected, issued proposals, in connec-
tion with Mr.. L. n. GUM, for publishing
a newspaper at Stcilacoom, Pierce county,
has recently returned to this Territory,
from a visit to the willamette valley,
whittier he had repaired to perfect his ar
rangements to commence the publication
of the Puget Sound Courier. 1t is well
known by all who took an interest in the
of the paper, that its advent
was more or less contingent on the safe ar
rival in Oregon of the large new printing
of A. Bush, Esq, which was
lost on the steamer "Southerner." And
as a report had obtained circulation that
Mr.. AFFIEcK had abandoned his original
intention, we would state that Mr.. A. is at
present here, and, in few days, designs to
start for San Francisco for the purpose Of
obtaining, if possible, new press, type,

During the evening, very heavy squalls from

the night being intensely dark, at II p. NJ,

discovered heavy breakers on the lee

finding she must certainly go on the rocks,
attempted to manage port and starboard
chains so that be might lay the vessel along,
side the largest, as he deemed the water
might be deep there. He succeeded in do
ing SO and the passengers and crew were
warned Of their danger and urged To take
the first opportunity To jump as the vessel
struck they fortunately succeeded In get
ting on the rock safely--it now become
intensely cold with rain. Twenty minutes
after landing all the top works from tho
steamer washed away, the boat having
been knocked away by q sea when she first
struck. We laid down upon the rocks for
about hour unable to see whether We
were upon the main land or not. Some Of
the crew then started, and finding the main
land shortly discovered the house Of Mr..
McAuley, where we all received shelter At
A. NJ, on Sunday morning, and such
welcome as kind and generous heart liko
his alone can give. His house, his food, hig
clothing, all were at our service, and for
him and his bespeak on the part Of eyery
American, wherever he may come, every
service they may possibly render him, and
much as they may do, they cannot be kind

"Therc seems to be some difference of
opinion between the agents of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company and the Postal
agent Of California, about the responsibility
Of sending the mails on the late Steamship
Southerner. The Postal agent contends
that the mails were placed on board of the
Southerner by the voluntary act of the
agents Of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany, and that neither the Postal agent nor
the PostmNsteriof San Francisco, exercised
any authority in the matter, as has been
alleged. d."-POrtland, (OregOn) Standard.
All we have to say about the matter is,
that responsibility should attach in some
quarter, and the man that was base enough
to use Totton condemned old hulk as the
Southerner was known to be, TO ship val
liable freight upon--and the company or
authority that was reckless enough to place
the o. s. mails for Oregon and Washington
territories upon her, should be made to
ho1oI for the outrage, and foot bill of ten
times the amount Of loss sustained. The
mails, in all probability, will never be re-
covered, and the individual loss of Mr.. A..
Bush, of the Oregon Statesman, alone, is
said to be some $l2, 900, without the pros
pect of recovering to the amount insured
Hanging would be to good for men who
would wantonly jeopardize the lives of pas
sengers and crews, and the loss of valuable
freight, by presuming to infcst the trade
with such utterly eultHs crafts as the South
erner proved to be.

board the steamship Grenada, which
arrived yesterday morning from New
York, we are informed. had contem-
plated taking possession Of the ship
and bring her up to the city on their
own responsibility, in the event Of a
regular detention at quarantine. There
were several cases Of sickness on board
reported to be Cbsgresy fever. and the
passengers had decided that that would
be just cause for the detention of the
vessel. The health officers, however,
attersome little consultation happened
to take their view of the subject, and
permitted the vessel to come on, some
what to the disappointment Of the said
passengers who had every thing arrang-
ed for the mutiny, and expected to
make . capital joke Of it.-Crescent.
