MIR. Ten Broeck In England.

Mr.. Ten Brock the champion of Amer
lean horsemanship in England, now has
in his stable nine horses, tive Of them
American bred, four Of them purchased III
Epglapd The horse "Badsworth," which
be bought in England, and which won a
recent race at Abingdon, was by the terms of
the race to be claimed BY any party who chose
to purchase for eighty sovereigns, and was ia
ken by MIR. Joseph Dawson. The first race
in which the American horses appear will be
the princely Goodwood, where Charleston
and Proress are both nominated. Both
horses are moderately weighed-ll9 and lis
pounds -espectively-but as Charleston has
been sick, and Proress is not relied on, there
is little expectation that any honor will come
to American horses from the contest.

The Washington States, though seeking
for it through democratic spectacies, has not
been able to find the authority by which Sc
cretary Cobb has appropriated government
vessel for the private recreation OF himself
aud his friends. "In imperial and monarch
cal government" it says, "it is the custom
of Emperors, Kiogs, and Queens to appro-
pirate vessels belonging to the State for their
especial household use. Notwithstanding
we are disposed to ape the manners of toG-
eign nations, and even to attempt, in many
ways, the showcase jim-crackery of royalty,
we have firm faith in the popular sentiment
that such inroads on our republican institu-
tons cannot be productive of the amount of
evil some persons think. Ii is well to know,
however, by what law or authority the Sc
cretsry of the Treasury can detail Govern
ment vessel for the mere purpose OF plea
sure excursion. What would the old-fashion-
ed Democracy of the days Of Jackson and
Polk say to such au abuse of authority, es-
pecially at a time when its use being directed
otherwise would be productive of needful re-
suits 2--ReterSJurg Int. Some OF toe papers

Tpe E.c,,emsut In California.

Letters and papers received by the last
mails, give graphic accounts Of the excite
ment whicn pervddes California. Those who
have lately travelled through the mountains,
say thG. the principal roads in the interior
present an appearance similar 10 the retreat
OF routed army. Stages, express wagons,
and vehicles OF every character are CALI
ed into requisition for the immediate emer-
geucy, aud all are crammed, while whole
battalions are pressing forward on horse or
mule back and on foot. Of course the ship
ments Of merchandise from San Francisco
are very large, to keep pace with this almost
instantaneous emigration OF thousands 30 q
region totally unsupplied with the commodI-
ties necessary for their use and sustenance:
4 letter to the New York Times says:
''San Francisco looks ike mining city
Just Us she seemed ten years ago. Her
streets are alive with red, blue and grey
sbir!ed men--rough, stalwsrt fellows rang
ing about in squads with picks, shovels, pans,
blankets, and primitive little rockers on their
shoulders. Almost decade has passed since
such scenes were witnessed here. Shop
keepers are over-run with customers they
never dreamed Of seeing at their counters.-
This is the grand purchasing point Of all
sorts Of miners supplies, for the vast hordes
Of people congregating here from every part
Of California, bound for Puget's Sound. To
complete their outfit Colts revolver, gene
rally pair of them, is deemed Indispensable.

Frncus Flower from a Boys Leg.

1t appears that q certain child of this
place, at two years Of age, became afflicted
with the hip disease, aud fingered on and
grew, having attained to the age of fourteen
years at the period of his death, few
weeks since. During period of nine
months previous to his death numerous
assesses were formed, and the lad was near
ly reduced TO skeleton. A day or two pre-
vious TO his death during the night, q double
stem and two flowers grew from the calf of
one Of bis legs, little below the knee joint,
the limb being apparently much swollen
The writer states ;hat hundreds of seeds
were found III the room after tho boys death,
similar to those of the passion flower" and
that "ulI say the flower resembles the pas
sion rose"
Tie attending physician, DR.. Iayley,
deemed it so wonderful as to require other
witnesses 10 testify to the fact, and be ac-
cordlngIy called in DR.. Stevens, the Rev. Mr..
Walker, and others.

Absorbing OF "A Banker.

We are more panied than surprised, says
the Rochester Union, 10 learn that an accom-
plished banker, for some years 10 charge of
Bank ct Peoria, H., but formerly OF this
city, has abscouded, leaving the Bank minus
large sum on his account. The sum is
stated at SOS, 900. lie left, as We learn, some
three weeks ago, giving his family to under.
stand that he was going away on business,
as be WAS accustomed to do. But it would
seem that he went TO New Orleans, where he
was heard OF, following the vice Of gambling,
which has proved his ruin. Thence he went
TO New York, and thence back TO Charleston
whence j; is supposed he took steamer to
some West India port. ibis man was in q
Bank here for some time; but was compelled
to leave because Of his addiction to ambling
and lis usual cOucomitan,s lie went hence
70 Peoria, where his superior business qualifi-
cations immediately won for him Il very high
. sition. Had he been steady, be could
have secured, in an honorable way, all the
money he will ever need. But now be has
lost it all; for it is supposed that the largest
portion OF the So 900 was gambied away TO-
fore be absconiod. ne left wife and three
children, quite destitute, and they have just
returned to this city, where their friends re-
side.
