Arrival Of the Steamer Senator.
LATER FROM SONORA.

BY the arrival of the steamer Senator
we have received later advices from So
nora, the Gadsden Purchase and Southern
California. We extract the following
from the Los Angeles Star of May 23d
! The feeling of hope which pervaded
the entire community, that the reported
murder of Mr.. Crabb and his party nigh,
turn out to be exaggerated, has unfortu
nately been dissipated this week by the
arrival here on Monday last of Maj. Robt
Wood and Major Tozer who belonged
to the Expedition, but were not at the
fight at Cavorca. They confirm the re-
port published by the San Diego Herald
of the annihilation of the party, Lot man
,, being left to tell the tale! The boy
mentioned in the report as having been
saved is unknown to the gentlemen above
mentioned, nor is he known to any of the
other persons from Sonora with whom
we have conversed on the subject.
SToRM.-Last week, says the Star of
the 10th of May, when we were favored
with the brief shower of rain, travellers
on the road to Fort TETON experienced a
most severe storm, the wind blowing a
perfect gale, driving hail and rain before
it. Next morning the mountains in the
vicinity were covered with snow. This
was on reaching the top of the mountain
rising out of the San Fernando valley
A few hours travel changed the temper
ature from that of summer 70 severe
winter. On their return this week, the
climate had assumed its usual mildness.
SILVER MINE-We understand says
the Star, that the silver mine discovered
some time since at San Barnardino, is
likely to turn out valuable. One of the
proprietors went up to San Francisco, ta-
king with him specimen of the ore for
assay. Should it realize the expectations
of the owners, machinery will be procu-
red and operations at once commenced
on the mine. We hope it may be found
as rich as anticipated.
EARTHoUAKE.-Ane extract from pri-
vate letter received here by the Senator
dated Los Angeles, May "a, says:-"There
was slight shock of an earthquake felt
here on Saturday (the 2Sd.) II was re-
ported here last evening that at about the
same time severe shock was felt at Fort
Tejon.'' -

A WARNING TO PHYSICIANS. - DR..
Locock. the Queens physician. has been
peremtorily dismissed from further at
tendance on the royal family, where he
has been hitherto admitted on terms of
familiar intercourse. His salary, 5OOOz
per annum, royal present on each safe
delivery of the Queen, and large prac-
tice among the nobility, is no small loss.
The doctor has made every effort toward
a reconciliation, but the Queen is inexo-
rable. 1t seems that it came to the
Queens ear that DR.. Locock was given
to too much talking. and'tha though she
told Prince Albert that his habit of sleep
ing between the blankets was ga vulgar,
dirty Dutch practice she did not care
to have it told abroad.-Post.

THE NATIONAL HOTEL SICKNESS
The New York Mirror says that it is
now believed that not less than seven
hundred persons have been seriously and
dangerously affected by the National
Hotel poison, at Washington, and some
twenty or thirty deaths have occurred in

persons very seriously i'll in New York

others, Robert J. Walker is not yet en-
tirely recovered from his severe attack.

Tho Msrallty3of the Stage.


The Rev. lh. Bellows. pastor of the
Goth street Unitarian church in New
York city, delivered an address before
the Dramatic Fund Association, at the
Academy of Music, on "The morality Of
the stage" The eastern papers gener-
ally speak of it in glowing terms. The
orator commenced with the assertion
that "There is nothing essentially wrong
in tho stage or in the players vocation" :"
Over two thousand persons were present
aud listened with intense attention to
the address, which lasted two hours and
half. We take, from the "Irish News"
the following remarks on the subject:
"In this age Of cant and hypocrisy it
is refreshing to find stale conventional
ism cast aside and expression boldly CIV
en- to the honest truth The Rev. DR..
Bellows has had the courage to vindicate
the stage from the pulpit, and defend the
drama from the condemnation which has
been frequently poured out upon it from
both press and pulpit. The legitimate
drama holds the glass up to nature. and
allows vice and virtue to reflect them
selves upon the nssd of the audience.
and, where the obNfFt is to discourage
vice and elevate virhe, there can be no
loftier lay INSTRUCT. Il is the great.

This morning about one O'Clock friShtful

ladies who were in the car-one of them

:. from passenger, are as follows: The express
train, which left Philadelphia last night at
eleven O'Clock, came on as far as Parkersburg,
without anything of note occurring, where
's5, they stopped to wood and water. The train,
composed of baggage car and two passenger
cars, was drawn by "a freight locomotive, the
recent storm having 6isarraDged the schedule
= which assigns particular locomotives TO each
~ train. After they left 'burg, and had
.ssss proceeded, our informant thinks, not more
than a mile, the passengers inferred from a
s,. peculiar motion of the that they were of
r', the track. and it was subsequently discovered
that this inference was correct.
The conductor drew the rope attached to

The engineer either did not understand the

pleased at the feat Of railroadieg without the
