SPURGEoN.-A London correspondent Of the
the New York Century, speaks as follows Of


the New York Century, speaks as follows of
Sturgeon, the celebrated English preacher:
That Mr.. Spurgeon is an original man, no
one can doubt, who hears him and that he pos
sesses talents is unquestionable. No man Of
inferior power can attract 10000 people every
time he breaches, half Of them paying shilling
for the privilege But l think that many Of
his hearers are delighted with his preaching for
the same reason that they clap and applaud an
Italian opera singer-not because they under
stand and appreciate the singing, but because
others do so, ard they do not wish to be called
stupid or ignorant, and therefore follow the ex-
ample set them. Let Mr.. Spurgeon go to our
country as an unknown man, and he never
would obtain the reputation he has here. How
he ever acquired so much popularity is mys-
terry, unless it be by comparison. as the great
mass of the clergy here, especially those of the
Established Church, give some show of truth to
the old story, that a boy who is too stupid for
anything else will do for parson.

band, she will be instructed in his religion"

Owens was drowned in Cow creek; at Fort Reading,
on the 9th ut We find the following particulars
of the occurrence in the Shasta Courier 1t appears
that in attempting to ford the river on horseback,
both horse and rider swept down stream by the
force of the current which at the crossing, owing
to the recent food, was exceedingly violent. The
horse escaped to the shore. Owens succeeded in
catching hold Of bunch of willows growing in the
middle Of the stream, where he remained up to his
waist in water, for four hours. Several persons,
after much labor, succeeded in fetching boat from
below to his assistance, but just as the boat was
almost within arms length Of him he sunk down
suddenly if shot through the heart, and was seen
no more alive. lie was from Fort Crook, where he
had acted in the capacity of Steward of the Hospital
He had some $500 in gold, and, it is supposed,
valuable papers, on his person.

SHIPwREcK AND TERRIBLE Loss or LIFE
The steamship Royal Charter, was wrecked in
Neuha Bay, near Bangor, on the coast Of Eng
land October 2Gth, involving terrible loss of
life. The following is the fullest account OF the
disaster we have received:
The only part Of the ship standing Wednes-
day evening, was IA small part Of the stern
She struck at O'clock Wednesday morning,
and broke up at o'clock. Before striking, her
cables parted one after another. She tried to
steam from the coast, but the wind blowing
hurricane, she drfted ashore. Several bodies
were washed ashore, a majority of tSem being
greatly mutilated. Men were picking up gold
sovereigns from or the rocks, and an efficient
guard was much needed. A dispatch from Liv-
erpoo, at midnight, the 9th says, Reporters
have arrived hetc from the wreck of the Royal
Charter. They state that the vessel struck at
2 O'Clock A. NJ, the strain being too great for
her cables, one heroic sailor swan ashore and
made fast hawser, by which several lives were
saved and more might have been rescued had
not the vessek parted in two with a dreadful
crash. The passengers and crew were either
killed by falling masts or pershed in the waves.
-Four hundred and seventy persons were lost,
and thirty-one saved. All the women and chill
dren perisbed. The bullion, it is expected, will
be recovered" A large number Of wrecks are
reported on the English coast with much loss
Of life. No American vessels are mentioned.
The Royal Charter had just arrived from
Australia, and had on board half million
pounds sterling OF gold, equal to two and half
millions of dollars.

NEW MODE OF IRRIGATIoN.-A canal or ditch
is being constructed for the purpose of conveying
the waters of Cache creek to Cacheve and vicinity,
to be used for irrigating the soil. The Knights
Landing News says:
1t is well known that Cache creek, at the point
where the canal taps it, Ito use common express
sion of the day. dries up, late in the summer sea-
son; consequently, no water could be had at that
time, were il wanted; but in the spring of the year
the creek afords immense amount of water really
sufficient to inundate the entire of land lying
between the creek and the Sacramento river. 1t is
at that time that the company propose to furnish
TO the farmers quantity Of water sufficient to flood
their entire farms. BY raising small embank-
ment around their lands, say fourteen or sixteen
inches high, and the water furnished them from the
canal covering the entire tract to the depth of eight
or ten inches, or even more, and allowed to remain
on for two or three days. ut the time keeping
up the supply until it is thoroughly soaked in, is all
that is necessary for the season.

THE THREATENED OVERFLOW.


The Mississippi seems bent upon giving New Or.
leans the benefit of some Of its surplus waters, in
one way or another.
Whilst public attention was devoted yesterday TO
the different overfows along the river front, by
which some Of the immediate neighborhoods thereof
were considerably Inundated, news came that the
levee was about to break at DR.. Holidays planta
tien, some miles above CarroAton, and just below
Sauve's
Mayor stith and Surveyor Pile went up during
the day to see about it. They found the levee at
Holidays, which is new levee, much undermined
and in very precarious condition. The levee had
been strengthened some, by of the lumber left
from Strengthening the weak place at sauve's and
but for this, Dr. Holiday believed the 1evee would
early have given way, and subjected the city to the
worst sort of an inundation. Two hundred negroes
were at work on the levee, strengthening it with
such means as they had at hand. In different places
where the levee was weak, the water had percoated
through in liberal quantities.
The Surveyor advised the Mayor to send up 80.
900 feet Of lumber and the Mayor informs US that be
will have this done to-day.
From the city overfows to which we alluded yes.
terday nothing serious is to be apprehended as yet
The indentatons or hollows in the levee over which
the water flowed, were raised yesterday in most
places by ridges of drt the work being done by the
City Surveyor, under the resolution passed by Coun-
Gil on Tuesday night The overfows were at different
places all along the city 'front.' from the Stock Land
ing down to the Third District The heavy storm of
yesterday morning aided the overfows, particularly
in the upper part of the city, great part of which
was for time seriously inundated. The storm over
the river resumed its wonted level and the inundated
Districts were gradually relieved of the unwelcone
floods.
The water still ran over at several points last night;
but in streams SO small to offer no just cause of
alarm.
We believe that the city is threatened far more by
the weak levees above Carrollton than by any
flow Of its own front.
