THE RUSSIAN NNAvY.-Wa>hington April 26.--It appears from the recently printed report of Chief Engineer King, of the Uni jed States Navy, on European ships of war that the Russian navy k now composed of :ea armored ships and other vessels of all classes. carrying altogether 52l guns. The personnel of the navy consists of Sl flag of 1icers of all ranks, 1.224 other officers, 53l mates, 9l0 artillery officers. l45 engineer ot- ficcrs, j45 mechanics, 5G constructors, and 260 medical officers. Except for coast de. defense the report >ta,cs that the Russian fleet Is rather more numerous than powerful. The Peter the Great and the Minin are the only two vessels on the list of Sca-going arm0red ships which approach the modern standard of fighting efficiency. For coast defense Russia has considerable fleet, of which the circular-armorcd ships Norgorod and Admiral Popotf are mentioned very formidable. The speed of all her monitors is given at from 6 to Si, knots, and they are not provided with spurs for ramming, and must therefore be considered as weak vessels, it only for operations in shallow KatcTS.

STAGE ROBBED.

The stage which left this place on Satur- day morning. carrying mails, treasure box and several passengers, arrived at Wicken- burg in due time and after leaving that place and when about two miles out was stopped by four masked robbers, we'll armed who demanded inc treasurer box, mail bags, and the loose change on the persons of the passengers.
 Our Sheriff, Ed. F. Bowers, who was aboard taking Mary F. Sawyer, an insane woman, te Stockton was robbed of q fine gold watch and chain and S45O in gold coin.
 Frank Luke. who was also a passenger had on his person S340 in gold and sky five in currency. When demanded 10 hand over he gave them his pocket book containing the currency and also an order on parties in San Francisco for S250 more. SuppoSing this to be all he had they handed him back his order, 1t being v2lueleSs to them, and did not search farther. Thus he escaped from being compelled to yield up S340 which would have materially interferrcd with his trip to West Point.
 We have not learned the amount or whether any money was lost from the treas Hrc box which the robbers took. The mail bags were cut open and the mail matter mu- tilated. At last accounts a party was out in search of the robbers and it is to be hoped that these highwsymen may be caught and Eot sent to Yuma for safe keeping. We understand the mutilated mail will be re- turned to this place and fixed up for new start, Stage robberieS, in Arizona, are be- coming almost as frequent as Indian mur- ders were few years since and it is to be hoped that something may turn up that will make these low bred CUTS deSiSt from going on the highway and resort to something honorable whereby they may exist.

The Peck Mine.

After all the wind and useless loss of time and the great expense attendant in buying and selling the Peck mine, nothing has been done. Offers on the part of san Fran cisco capitalists, and inducements held out, has caused almost, for the last SIX weeks, suspension of work at the mlne. The own CTS were induced to make the costly trip to San Francisco for tho purpose oi receiving their s400.000, which the purchasers have been unable to raise; not that they dld not want the mine and all that, but, they were unable to raise anything beyond wind which is cheap and plentiful in San Francisco.
 The Company will immediately put up new mill in the vicinity of the mine, lum- Der will be needed for the erection of suita- hle buildings, carpenters will be required m erecting necessary ediiccS, teams will be in demand to do the hauling miners will be looked for 10 open up the greatest bo- manga vet found in Arizona, and where now only a few men are required, two hundred will take their place. Instead of fifty or sixty thousand dollars being extracted monthly from the Peck mine, we may con tidcntlv expect to sec S900.O00 taken out The owners are all old residents of the Ter ritory. identified with her interests, liberal and enterprising, and, for our part, We pre- fer much 10 see the mine remain in its pres ent owners hands. With new mill, which they have purchased, and the Aztlan, which they have made almost as good as new, this enterprising Company will be of more real benefit to the Territory than any new Com pany possibly could be. Arizona is their country, and they have a pride in seeing it loom up as bright as the Star in the East whilst, should strange Company come in, they are after the yield 10 lay it away in the vaults of some other country, and all that would be expended here by them would be just what they were necessarily compelled to pay out

SERIOUS ACCmENT-lIon. \. L. Moelcr and MT. Leighton having heard much of the wonderful richness of the Zalida silver mine on LynX creek. conceived the idea of visit ing and making a personal observation of the same. and to that end they took Mr Moelcr's valuable horse "Cachise." and a fine buggy, and started for the mine. When within short distance ot the mine, and di- rcctly opposite the Cora" they came to a very narrow place in the road where there was but just room for vehicle to pass with out being prcccipitatcd below, distance of 100 feet. Tine horse became frightened, jumped of, and the whole outfit went to the bottom. distance of over thirty yards. Mir. Leighton received severe cut in the head, besides internal injuries MT. Mocller, although receiving severe injuries. was not hurt so badly as Mir. Leighton. The buggy, We understand, was entirely demolished, and those who saw the ruin, declare it does not look like a buggy. but resembles more brush-hcap. The horse was injured to that extent as to render him valuelcss. X team was procured by the injured parties friends, at Walker X Graham's, and sent to bring them in.
