The Hon. SYLVESTER MowRY.-Tbe Hon.
Sylvester Mowry, U. S. Boundary Commits
soner, arrived in S. F. last Sunday night.
The failure of the Treasury Department to
transmit the requisite amounts for the imme-
diate and active prosecution of the survey,
and the failure of this State to appoint a
Commissioner to act with Mr.. Mowry on
behalf of the State, have necessarily caus-
vexatious delay in the prosecution of that
work. Mr.. Mowry has however done the
next best thing and fitted out an exploring
and reconnoitering party under Dr. Owens,
to obtain accurate information of the coun
try to the traversed, so as greatly to facil-
tate the operations Of the Commission after
it shall have taken the field. Mr.. Mowry is
in excellent health and will rejoin the Com
mission at the earliest available opportunity.

injured last week, says the Mariposa Gazette
of the 5th, in singular way. He was at
work On the bank of the river, when
large goat took him in the rear, knocking
him completely over the bank. In the per.
iormance large stone was oosened, which
rolled down the bank upon Barrett, break
ing one Of his legs and badly bruising him
otherwise. This is a pretty tough yarn, but

MOlIaEAL, Nov. IL.
The third officer Of the steamship North
Briton has arrived at Father Point In e
schooner. he reports that The North Briton
struck on Parraquet Island at 10 o'clock on
the morning Of the 5th. Il was then blow
ing gale. She was totally wrecked, but no
lives were lost. The passengers and crew
were landed at Port Mingan. One boat,
with seven hands, had not been heard from
since It left the ship.
The North Briton sailed Saturday, Nov.
I'd, with ffty-one cabin and thirty-eight
steerage passengers for Liverpool.
The following Is the statement of Mr..
Brown, the third eficer: When the ship
struck 1t was blowing gale, and the weather
was very thick. The ship continued striking
very hard on the reef Tuesday night and al
Wednesday, and it was expected she would
go 10 pieces every moment. A boat with
the crew broke away from the wreck before
it was loaded, and could not be brought
back till Tuesday morning after daylight,
when all the passengers were taken of with
out accident, and transferred to two sshoon-
ers, which landed them at Port Mingan and
a few houses shout nine miles below. At
Port MingaD the passengers were all housed
in a st0rehouse, having few blankets which
we're got from the wreck, 70 sleep upon. The
store rooms were all under water, causing a
scarcity of provisions. Thelower cabin was
all broken up, ard most Of the baggage.
Only few Of the mail-bags were saved, and
those were perfectly saturated.
