HoRTIcULTURAL FAIR.-The second annual eX-
hibition of the California Horticultural Society
will commence in connection with the Meehan-
ics Institute Exhibition, on the first of Septem-
Der next. Those who recOllect the splendid
show made by that Society last ysar, will look
forward with eagerness to the pleasure again
in store for them. We extract the following
from the Soeiety's circular
.'The object of the Society being to foster and
encourage all departments of scientific and
practical Horticulture, we invite the aid and
ready cooperation of all who feel interested in
the growth and perfection Of tree, plant, fruit
or flower, to help make the Fair alike credita-
BILE to the Society, as we'll as to the industry,
taste and skill of the horticulturists Of Califor-
MIA. The acknowledged benefits that always
accrue to communities, societies and individuals
from public exhibitions Of the product of their
industry and skill, and the mutual good feeling
and harmony engendered by these annual gath
erings of our intelligent cultivators, should be
a suf6cient indueement, aside from the very libs
eral premiums offered, to call out the active Cos
operation of a largely extended list Of members
Of the Society. The very liberal policy pur-
sued by the Mechanics Institute towards this
Society, by which the horticultural and Me-
ohanical progress of the State shall each aid the
other in producing an exhibition creditable to
its orieiDators, is duly appreciated. That the
united efforts of the two Societies will produce
o highly attractive exhibition, one never before
equaled in the State, hardly needsa guaranty

Daring Robbery at San FrancIscO-Recove
OF the Money.

A robbery of $4,000 was perpetrated on
board the steamer Senator, at 8 o'clock on the
morning of July Sd, but it was fortunately dis
covered in time to recover the money and ar
rest one of the thieves. The Bulletin gives
the following account of the affair:
The Senator, Capt Thomas W. Seeley, was
lying at Pacific street wharf, and was Just about
to stnrt OIL on her voyage to Los Angeles aud
other southern ports. Capt. Seeley went up on
deck Tor the purpose of giving orders to pro-
ceed, when he observed two men at q sky-light.
and their suspicious actions arrested his atten-
tiOn. AS they observed him, one of them showed
something under table near by, and in few
minutes afterwards both men, running to the
side of the vessel, jumped off on the wharf.
The Captain Immediately followed and, with
the aid of special policeman Smith, arrested
one OF them, who subsequently gave his name
as Blair Lowry, but who Is also known as Henry
Lowry alas Henry McGyay. The other man
managed to escape and is sill at large
Upon going back to the steamer and exam
lnng the package which had been preciptately
showed away, Capt Seeley found a carpet bag
cut open, and small bag containing $4,000
in gold coin. The money belonged to a native
Californian named Joaquin Gotta, who resides
at San Luis OLispo, and who had taken pas
sage on the steamer to Santa Barbara On ex-
amning the sky-light and state-room in which
the money had been, 1t was seen that one of
the thieves had entered the state-room with a
false key, had passed up the carpet bag to his
companion and then cimbedsnp to the deck
through the sky-light himself II appears that
they had just cut the carpet bag open, and were
about to dispose of the money, Than they were
so luckily detected by Capt. Secley. AS soon
as these facts were ascertained Capt. Seeley
delayed his ship and proceeded to the station
house with his prisoner, who was confined.

The JESSIE Brown RoMANCE.-Mr. Russell,
the correspondent in India of the London Times,
Brown romance
regret to be obliged to destroy the founda-
tion for such pretty poetry and pretty pictures
as the story of Jessie, the Highland lassie, aud
the bagpipes of the Highlanders has afforded at
home; but, on inquiry, l find that there were no
bagpipes played within many miles Of Lucknow
and that the voices Of slogan and pibroch were
silent not a warlike squeak announced that
"the Campbells were coming" but, more or less
than all, there was 40 lassie at all in the garri-
son who by any possibility could have been the
heroine or prima donna Of the drama, and every
one knew, long before the loudest skirl of all
the bagpipcs Ia Scotland could have proclaimed
it, that Havelock was coming to the assistance
Of the garrison. The Alumbagh is at least sew
en- miles from the Residency.

RrcrrrroN OF Hon. J. ]. CRIrrryprx IN X

RECEPTION OF Hon. ]. j. CRITTENDEN IN KEN
TUCKY.-A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, writing from Lexington, June 22d, says
On Monday afternoon the party escorting Mr..
Crittenden from Covington to Lexington had
an opportunity TO see sincere testimonials OF
hearty appreciation extended TO him at all
points of stoppage on the route.
At Falmouth, Cynthiana and Paris, he was
met and welcomed by numbers of the best cti-
zens. AT Lexington, a public procession. ex-
hibiting considerable enthusiasm, escorted the
party, led by Menter's brass baud, to Odd Eel
lows Hall, where large assembly was in
waiting.
The venerable Chief Justice Robertson, who
entered public life with Mr.. @. forty-one years
ago, welcomed him in a speech of great force
and feeling.
As to his course on the Kansas Lecompton
bill, the Judge said You have done as the
great commoner would have done. Here on
this spot, standing as we are before this people.
between Ashland and the cemetery where the
shaft is rising in solid grandeur to mark his
grave-here, between the living and the dead
between the home where the Sage of Kentucky
dwelt and his grave, believed by a nations
tears, | solemnly assure you it is our belief,
that, had the noble Clay been at your side the
course you have pursued would have been his.
We, who knew him well, know he could not
nave done Otherwise without renOubClnp MS
lifelong cherished principles. Kentucky does
aud will sustain you.
For your agency in the manly defense of
the right you are deserving of our love and
veneration. Some day, living or dead, the graf
itude of the country will be offered you for it
and that too with potent emphasis by the South
herself
Whatever be the judgment of others, we will
be true to you. We approve all that you have
done, and will stick TO you and stand by you.
Kentucky, your loving mother, will hug you
closer to her bosom the more you are assailed.
She will recognize you as the manly. independ-
ent, and patriotic servant who has devoted his
life with filial piety and unsellsh aims to her
interests and the nations welfare.
He then presented Mr.. G. as the favored Sen
ator of Kentucky John J. Crittenden, the
American Legislator and National Statesman
Mr.. G. was warmly welcomed, and, in words
of eloquence and genuine simplicity, returned
thanks for the confidence and appreciation so
touchingly extended him by his old colleague
and friend.
After passing the night iu Lexington, escort
ed by troops of friends, he took the cars for his
home in Frankfort.

WELLS on THE DEsERT.-Mr Hal! left San
Bernardino on the Sd of June with party OF
twelve men from that place, Independent OF
eight men who will be engaged in preparing
stations, for the purpose of digging wells on
the Desert. They were to dig three wells be-
tween the base of the mountain at San Gorgonia
Pass. and Indian WE'LL on the old route Seven
hundred dollars were subscribed in San Ber-
nardino and the mail company advanced six
hundred dollars towards the object. A CORES.
pondent of the Los Angeles Star, writing from
San Bcrnardino, July 13th says:
Mr. Joseph Bridger arrived here on Mon
day evening from the Colorado Desert. He
says the party who left this place on the Sd ult
for the purpose of digging wells for the stations
of the Overland Mail Company, have succeeded
beyond their most sangune expectations, hav-
ing dug one well only thirty feet. at which
depth they had an abundance Of good water.
The two first stations, at the end of the Desert,
have been let by the agents for one year, to
Mcssrs. Carpenter and Mccoy of this city; one
to be kept at White river, on the edge of the
Desert. and about forty miles from this city,
the other to be on the Desert fifteen miles.
The contractors are busily engaged in prepar-
ing for the erection of houses, stables and
corrals, at the above named points.

The PrIncIpaIity of Nrendocino.

Our readers will remember that among the
claims presented by Limantour to the Land
Commission, for land alleged TO have been
granted TO him. by Micheltorena, was one for
eighty square leagues, or $4,000 acres, on the
coast, in what is DOW the territory of Mendocino
and H9mboldt counties. II was no slight mat
ter of congratulation 10 those whose Interests
are those Of our citizens and State generally.
that the claim was rejected. BY reference 10
The Law Report, this morning, it will be seen
that this claim of Limantour is mere tri6e.
to the grant which Mr., Jacob p. Lcese endea.
vered to obtain at the same place He petit
TONED for tract two degrees square, one hun
dred and Forty miles from north to south
by eighty miles from east to west-equal TO
,22O 600 acres. This tract, as petitioned for,
included the whole of the present Mendocino,
Humboldt, and Colusi, nearly all of Trinity,
and considerable portions Of Tehama, Shasta
and Napa counties.
Gov. Micheltorcna approved Of the petition,
and sent it to the Supreme Government Of Mex

a benefactor of California.-1Ad.
