The Alta California gives the following account Of
the disgrsceful flight Of q vessel from that port
The brig Ellenits, Capt. Hayes, which has been
employed some time in the coasting trade adver
tised few days ago to sail for Australia and offered
to take passengers and freight at reasonable rates.
The captain, who was . smart Jeremmy Bidder, laid
in his stores in the most extravagant manner. He
bought furniture carpets, provisions, wines, liquors
and in fact everything necessary to the comfort of
sea voyage. Unfortunately, however, Capt Hayes
forgot to pay for the articles. He bought the brig
for $500, and paid $500 on it. He then placed her
upon the ways of Tichenor d Co. and thoroughly re-
paired her on credit He then advertised her for
Melbourne, and commenced laying in Of stores,
without disbursing cent, SO closely did be manage
his cards. His butcher, grocer, market man, and,
strange to ssy even his lawyers, were yictmized to
the tune OF $780, The only man who felt any doubt
OF his honest intentions was the man who filled the
water casks, and who beled the brig for his bill,
amounting to $50. The o. s. Marshal had, or was
supposed to have had, the keeping of the brig. On
breeze, and the Captain being good sailor, could
not resist it, and spreading his sails to the favoring
gale, be quietly "drew ont from the harbor, and
cleared the Heads instead of the Custom House,
fOrn tta II.
soon as it was ascertained that the brig had gone
there was a terrible hubbub and Marshal Soloman
started the steam tug Martin White in pursuit of her.
but it was like starting snail to catch swallow.

house Of Mr. Taylor, at the foot of Clear Lake and
were startled from sleep about 10 o'clock by vic.

like thunder and it followed by several shocks OF
less violence On inqnring the next day at Big Val

which subterranean fires are In constant activity.
