To our esteemed friend, Capt. JAMES NJ.
HUNT, who arrived in Puget Sound few
days since on board the U. S. Steamer
ldssaehuseits-SwAHrwoUT, commanding
I days from San Francisco, VIC are indebted
for a fle of the San Francisco Alta Cali
tornia, up to February 10th, and for the
Herald, of that city, of the 18th inst. To
those papers we are exclusively indebted
for the following summary of news.
The Alta chronicles distressing acci-
dent, by drowning, of two ladies with their
children-wives of Mr.. Ulmer and Mr..
Ottenheimer, merchants of San Francisco.
The accident occurred between that city
and the Ocean House, and was in conse-
quence of the driver mistaking the road, by
which the party designed to take pleas
ure drive in direction of the Ocean House.
Entirely unapprehensive Of danger, he
drove near the margin of an artificial pool
or lake, some 100 feet in depth; and the
horses becoming restless and ungovernable,
they with the carriage and party were pre-
cipitated into it. The driver and a servant
girl accompanying swan ashore, the for
mer considerably injured, and both were
found partially deranged. All the bodies
have been recovered.
The clipper ships RiEgleader and SKY
Lark had arrived at San Francisco from
New York and Boston, as the arant cow-
iers of the feet, now over due.
A proposition appears to have met the
favorable consideration of the legislature
Of California, for the formation of three
states out of the territory within its limits.
The proposition seems also to be favorably
considered at Washington city.
On the llth Of November, at 10 O'Clock
P. NJ, violent earthquake occurred at
Jcddo, which destroyed one hundred thou
sand dwellings, ffty-four temples, and thir-
ty thousand inhabitants. A fire broke out
at the same time in thirty different parts
Of the city; the earth opened and closed
over thousands of buildings, with their oc-
cupants. The shock was severe at Simo-
do. ..
The distance from Jeddo to Simoda is
but sixty miles. Itappears that no official
account Of the earthquake had been receiv-
cd at the latter place at the time Of the
sailing Of the schooner Page-December
10th. The news was obtained through the
Dutch interpreter. The Japanese seem to
attach but little Importance to the catas-
trophe. The inhabitants Of the portion Of
the city destroyed were forewarned Of the
disaster, and many Of them escaped. The
buildings of Jeddo are chiefly one story,
and constructed Of very light MATERIAL
The temples of worship, however, are lofty
and in some instances are constructed Of
heavy masonry.
In the House of Representatives at
Washington, the hundred and eighteenth
vote has been taken without effecting q
choice. The parties stand relatively about
the same, and neither seems to be disposed
to yield. The ll8th ballot, showed the
result:

to be placed upon his face and breast and the body
is to be turned slowly on TO the side, and then re-
turned slowly to its former position. This mo
