glsh House of Commons, on their Parliameu-
tary reform bill. The majority against them

the Ministry would resign. but Lord Derby af.
terwards announced that Parliament would be
dissolved. giving as o reason that the country
ought to be consulted in the present crisis OF

TERRIBLE CALAMITY-Two WOMEN AND FIVE
CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH.-The residence of
Col. E. A. Stephenson, three miles from Red
Bluffs, was burned on the night of May 11th,
and Mrs. Stephenson and her three children,
and Mrs. Kronk with her two children, were all
consumed in the flames. Mr.. Kronk. (Col. Ste
phenson's overseer) was in the house, but by
some means he escaped, but was so badly burn
ed that he was not able to give any account of
the disaster. COL Stephenson was absent from
home at the time of the fire. An Indian hoy
who was living at the house was suspected of
having set fire to the premises, as be left imme-
diately after, on one of the California Stage
Co.'S. horses. He was pursued and captured
some fifteen miles from the place, on the road
to Shasta. He made many contradictory state
ments, one of which was. that be assisted in set
ting fire to the house, from fear of five other
Indians, who threatened to kill him if he did
not assist them. His story is not credited, and
he is believed to have been the author and per-
petrator of the whole affair. He is Pitt River
Indian, about ten or twelve years old, and a
remarkably smart boy.
Mr. Kronk at last accounts was in precari.
GUS condition, and but little hope is entertained
of his recovery.

ST. HERALD.-The associated auctioneers
of San Francisco, have again chosen the Herald
as their advertising organ. 1t will be remem-
bered that the auctioneors advertisements were
taken from the Herald some three years ago. in
consequence of the opposition Of that paper to
the proceedings of the Vigilance Committee.
The attempt to break down an Independent
paper in that case proved failure, and we re-
ioice that the Herald has fully recovered its
former extensive advertising patronage.

TIE editor Of the Marysville Express, after
quoting paragraph from the DKMocRAT of last
week, Indignantly denies that he was ever a
Know Nothing or Whig. As we have not the
slightest conception as to who edits that paper,
we could not Of course have had any personal
reference to him but such an emphatic denial,
before being accused, has tendency to create
suspicion.
