THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE POST, AND ALBION
These respectable papers have been largely employ
ed for two three months past in vndicatng the right
Of British cruisers to visit and search American mer
chant ships upon the high seas We are under the
impression that upon the legal question involved in
this matter the three papers referred to have been
particularly certain and they felt authorized to
speak in advance for htr Majestys ministers, that
they would never surrender to us, anybody the
right to test the nationality ofany ship upon the pub

Post, and Albion had an eye or two on the slavery
question They do not like slavery, the slave trade
OF SHAREHOLDERS and it is supposed they would sur
render any mere national right to give effect to their
hostility to tho slave oligarchy''
At all events, we have had the three papers refer

The WHEAT CKOP.-So far as returns have
been received says the Morning Call. it is evil
dent that the wheat crop Of the State the last
year. is far in excess of that of the year pre-
vious. In twelve counties. principally mining.
the yield Of wheat for the past was 1888. 900
bushels-equal to about 1858 900 barrels Of -four
more than one half o. the yield Of the entire
State in 1857. The amount Of -four produced
in this State in 1857, was but little over 400, 900
barrels this year. the amount will equal at
least $50, 900 barrels Of -four. or considerably
upwards of 900. 900 bushels Of wheat The
amount of -four required for home consumption
"a food, is not far from 100000 barrels. which
will leave 230, 900 barrels Of -four. or l.l50,000
bushels Of wheat for seeding and other purposes.
Not more than 800. 900 bushels will be required
for seeding purposes. II is apparent therefore,
that scarcity of breadstuHs in this State need
not be apprebended during the coming year.

Nor A WAsuINGTON.-A friend Of ours tells

he had read the we'll known story of George
Washington's love of truth, and the fathers
love of the noble principle of his son, so well
manifested on the occasion referred to OF his
cutting down the cherry tree, acknowledging
his transgression, and receiving full and free
pardon, besides praises and kind caresses, from
bis father. So Jim, aotuated by 50 noble all
example. thought be would try the experiment
on. He supplied himself with Ratchet, and,
going into his fathers orchard. cut down some
choice fruit trees He then c1olly sat down to
await the old mans coming. and, az soon as nc
made his appearance. marched up TO him with
a very important air, and acknowledged the
deed. expecting the next thing on the programe
to be tears. benedietiOns aud embraces from the
offended parent. But, sad to relate, instead OF
this, tho old gentleman caught up hickory,
and gave bis son an "all-hred lamming." Jim

OF a Sioop-T,yo Lives Lost.

On the 18th of September, tho sloop San
Buenaventura, of Santa Barbara, sailed from
this port for the island of Santa Rosa, having
on board Peter Hammond aud Miguel Gotta, as
passengers, She was under the command OF
Vizenzo Panat!eri, alias John Brown, alias
Capt Paisoco. an Italian. When near the island
OF Santa Cruz, at about four o'clock A. NJ, she
sprang n leak and soon filed and sank. All
who were on board succeeded in reaching the
shore, which at that point is very high aud
precipit0us. Panatieri climbed up the steep
bluff and after wandering about the island for
two days aud nights, naked hungry, and thirs-
ty, reached one of the houses on the island.
The Others, less fortunate. have not since been
heard Of, Dilllgent search has been made upon
aud around the island, but no traces have been
discovered Of them. 1t is supposed that they
must have perished at the foot of the bluff
where they landed. The escape of Panatieri
is little less than miraculous. The bluff rises
to the height OF about two hundred feet and is
almost perpendicular for the first hundred feet
Mr.. Hammond was an Industrious and re-
spectcd citizen of this place. aud leaves wife
aud five children OF tender age. Mr.. Miguel
Gotta was a native Californian aud citizen of
this place. -[Santa Barbara Gazette.
