There now seems to be very little, if any,
hope Of the safety of the United States sloop Of
war Levant. All hands on board, it is believed,
met watery grave, on the passage from the
Sandwich Islands to Panama. The following
is list of her officers:
Commander, William E. Hunt; Lieutenants,
W. G. B. S. Porter, E. c. Stout, Colville Ter
rett, R. T. Bowen, Dawson Phoenix, attached
to the flag; Purser, A. J. Watson Acting
Master, j. G. Moseley; First Lieutenant Of
Marines, R. l.. Browning; Passed Assistant
Surgeon, ]. s. Gillian; Assistant Surgeon, D.
e. Montgomery Captains Clerk, A. o. Shuff

swain, II. Edmonston Acting Gunner, r. s.
King; Carpenter, John Jarvis Sail.maker, c.
T. Frost Masters Mates, William Lewis, P.
Morrison, Samuel Fl. Brown.
The Levant was sailing soop of war of the
third class, ranking with the Vandala, Cyane,
and st. Louis. She was built at Brooklyn,
twenty.three years ago; was 1872 tons burden,
and carried 20 guns. She served the country
well in her time, having crused actively on
the Home, African, East Indies, and Pacific
squadrons. Side by side with the San Jacinto,
she, during her last commission, threw in her
broadside to the Barrier Forts on the Canton
river, and did much towards capturing them.

MARPosA NEws-We CLEAN the following
items from the Mariposa Gazette Of 4he Sth
inst:
A man by the name of Levi Parks was
shot and killed near Forlorn Hope, Wednes-
day night last, by one David Stilwell. The
cause Of the difficulty we have not learned
We have heard, however, that Stilwel was
fully justified in the affair.
A case of small poX occurred near Htrni-
Aas, week before last, occasioning alarm, but
proved under proper treatment, of no special
consequence, and the fearful forebodings Of
its spread have all disappeared
1t is not of uncommon occurrence, about
3Iornitas, to pick up, particularly after a
heavy rain. pieces of quartz and gold of con-
siderable value. One was found last week
weighing At pounds, which yielded, when
pounded up, LIS pounds of pure gold
Another was found which yielded four oun-
sces and others less amount man,
whose name we forget, made over 5000 the
day, after Christmas, in picking up pieces OF
this kind, found in ragine on the mountain
between Hornitas and Quartsburg.
A short time since, Mr.. Joel Westfall, on
the South Fork Of the Merced discovering
rthat grizzly bear had been making free
with his hogs, lay in wait for Bruin, and
succeeded in killing him. The animal prov
ed to be very large one, weighing over IL

A DARING ATTEMPT AT RoBBERY.-A daring
attempt was made on the morning of Thurs
day last, by two burglars, to rob the safe of
Mr. Gilbert, in Shasta, one of the oldest mer-
chants in that place. They were masked,
and their mode of entrance unknown. They
surprised Mr.. G. G. Bush, who was sleeping
in the store at the time, at about l o'clock in
the morang, by demanding the key of the
safe, declaring their object, and threatening
him in case he made any noise. The key OF
the safe was obtained and his bed searched
for arms, and one of the burglars remaining
as guard over MIR. Bush, the other proceeded
to open the safe, which, after persevering
attempt of three quarters of an hour, proved
Intellectual. Fooled in their attempt, the rob
bers became desperate, and at one time the
life of Mr. Bush was in imminent danger
The burglars then collected what loose
change they could secure, amounting in al
to fifteen dollars, part belonging to Bush anc
part to Gilbert, and decampcd, resrettlng
their inability to obtain the contents of Tho
safe.-HorsetoWm ArguS.

it ring, depend upon it, it can be heard in
