San Francisco, August 9.-Thos.
Strong, first mate of the Pride of the
Port, which arrived from Boston
last evening, was arrested this morn
ing for murder on the high seas.
The ship came to anchor off Meiggs'
wharf, and two of the crew came
ashore and lodged complaint,
charging Strong with having knock
ed Antoine Spaniole from the fore
tree and killed him, when twelve
days out from port. The crew are
all natives of the West Indies, and
understood but little of the business.
The mate is spoken of as having
been perfect tyrant while on the
voyage. Many more cruelties are
charged against him.
The police picked a man up early
yesterday morning, in Bull Run
alley, who had been disrobed by
some Chinese experts of all save his
boots and an abridged undershirt.
He was sleeping in peaceful oblivion
of the scantiness of his wardrobe
when arrested for indecent exposure,
which would seem to indicate anti
option proclivities, the odor from his
inner man corroborating such an
inference. He is said to be an
editor.
Garrett Burnett and Thomas Dunn
were arrested this morning for rob-
bling a man on Gold street of $25.
Thirty-six vessels arrived during
the last twenty four hours. This is
the largest number that has arrived
in any one day for the last three
years.
Sorrith, the police officer who
forged orders for his salary, has
gone to Mexico.
Two ladies had their pockets
picked at the Jesuit church this
morning.

taken off by a locomotive wheel
while trying to drive buggy across
the railroad track ahead OF the local

BEEcHER-T1LroN.-A New Yorl

BEEcHER-TILToN.-A New York
dispatch of the 9th, says Mr.. Sage,
chairman of the Beecher Investigat-
ing Committee, and other members
of the committee, state authoritative
ly that all rumors of the comprom
Use which were circulated yesterday
are absurd. The rumor that Moul-
tons statement has been delayed for
the purpose of allowing further eff
forts to be made for compromise is
distinctly denied. The committee
will persevere in its work until the
end is reached, in spite of any at
tempts from any parties for com
promise. Indeed, no such attempts
have been made. Rev. Mr.. Halli-
day, assistant pastor of Plymouth
Church, also denies the truth of
these rumors, and says at this stage
of the proceedings compromise is
impossible. The church would
never consent to settling the matter
in that manner. A rumor that Gen.
eral Tracey had Withdrawn from the
case is also denied by Mr.. Halliday
and several members of the commit
tee. General Butler refuses to say
whether his visit here is in connec-
ton with the Beecher case. Beecher
remained at his Peekskill farm yes
terday and to-day, and returns to
Brooklyn on Monday. 1t is asserted
that MOulton will not submit to
cross-examination by the committee
after his statement pending his ex-
animation. There is a lulf in the
case, and most parties connected
with it are out of town. Indeed the
chief reason for the postponement of
Moulton's statement appears to be to
allow the committee to speak Sun
day in the country. Moulton denies
that any one of the committee can
toreshadow what his testimony will
be. He says he is still for peace and
will work hard for reconciliation.
He will make no regular statement,
it is understood, but has arranged all
the documents on the point at issue,
and will submit them to the CON-
mittee in the order in which he Sc
cured them. This he will do at
P. NJ. on Monday. Moulton's steno-
grapher will be present to take
verbatim report of any conversation
that may follow. There is proba-
bility of the committee declining to
receive Moulton's testimony if he
refuses to submit to cross-examina-
ton now that the case draws near to
a close. Some of the strangest ru-
mors have been given currency and
are being circulated by officious par
tisans on either side. One of these
reports says Moulton will not testify,
and that the committee will quietly
exonerate Beecher and drop the sub
ject. Another says the committee is
afraid of Moulton's testimony, and
hence the delay in receiving it.

A Washington dispatch of the 9th
says the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company has made application TO the
Secretary of the Navy for an assign
ment of naval officers to command
their ships. The Secretary will not,
however, take the responsibility, as
there is no law for it, but will prob
ably indorse the cOmpany's applica-
ton to Congress at the next session.
Naval officers commanded these
vessels at one time, and it is thought
others can be assigned now without
detrimeut to the service.

SIR PHILIP SIDNEY'S PARENTS.

Sir Henry Sidney my Lord Brook
whites, was man of excellent natural wit,
large heart, sweet conversation, and such
governor as sought not to make an end of the
State u himself, but to plant bis Own ends 10
the prosperity of his country. On the other
side Lady Mary Sidney, as she was woman
by descent of great nobility, so she was by ma
ture of large, ingenious spirit. Whence as
it were even racked with native strengths, she
chose rather to hide herself from the curious
eyes Of delicate time, than to come upon the
stage of the world with any manner OF dl>par-
agement, the mischapce Of sickness bavlng cast
such veil over her excellent beauty, as the
modesty of that sex doth many times upon their
Datlve and berolca spirits.
The affection which this worthy couple Law
ished upon Master Philip was touching from
its gravity. A letter which Sir Henry wrote
10 his son in his twelfth year, is still extant.
lie was at school at Shire wsbury, and had writ
ten two letters to his father, one in Latin, aud
the other in French. They came safely to
hand, and as the letter which acknowledged
them was the first that he had ever written to
him, it was not empty of advice. tie should
do this, and be should not do that. tie
should master the sense and matter OF what be
read, as we'll as the works which would both
GUElCtl HIS lUuSuC WIN NOius3 euN MO Wv "'sn
matter He should be merry, but not too
merry He should be cautious 10 the use OF bit
ing words, for wound giveu by word is
ottentimes harder to be cured than that which
is given with the sword. Remember, my
sou, the noble blood you are descended OF, BY
Your mother's side, and think that only by Vlr-
tuous life and good actions you may be an or
nament to your illustrous family" lu the
postscript, which Was written by his mother,
Sidney is advised to read the letter over every
four or FIVE days, and to heed its wise admonl-
ton Farewell, my little Philip" my Lady
Mary concludes, ''and once again the Lord
bless YOU" More than three centuries have
passed since this noble pair put their hands to
this document; the language IN which II was
written has changed; the world has changed;
but the affection which dictated it remains uu,
changed, lighting up the antquated words and
the obsolete spelling. The intellectual gravity
OF the child to whom it was sent-aud not idly,
We may be sure-justi6es all the praise that
has since been heaped upon his matchless en-
uo~meuts He was always man, Lord Brook
gives US to understand, eminent BY nature and
Industry, and worthy Of his great father, who
