In regard TO the British ship Lammer-
moor nothing has yet been done toward
raising her, and operations will not prob
ably be commenced until next Thursday.
The schooner Eudora will anchor near the
wreck, and the work of wreckipg will be
done by means of two large SURF boats.
Monday afternoon all the water was
pumped out of the burned bark Roswell
Sprague, in the hope of raising her. The
operation was successful, and she was
finally set ahoat. The fire had not reached
the lower hold, and the greater part of the
cargo was only damaged by water. Next
Thursday she viii be towed to one of the
docks and her cargo be discharged.
Monday operations were commenced
upon the Escamhia to raise every portion.
of the iron and machinery that is of value.
w. E. Mighell, the hip-chandler, Who
purchased the wreck at auction about
week ago at the Merchants Exchange, has
chartered the schooner-barge Rose Sparks,
and she has been sent to the wreck. She
is commanded by Captain Ross, and hasone
board two divers, who will secure all the
valuables on board the Escambia. In the
opinion OF Captain Ross there is a posi-.
bility that the vessel may be raised, and he
intends to make the attempt. The
schooner will anchor as near the wreck as
possible, and will remain there as long as
the state of the weather will permit
Captain George Bigley was Saturday or
dered under arrest by Lieutenant-C Colonel
Wilder for the publication of the following
order in morning newspaper " Company
Fl, Second Artillery Regiment, n. G.. c.:
You are ordered to parade in citizens dress
on Fourth of July. My reason for SO doing
is, the committee is paying companies Of
the National Guard to turn out, and we
have received none, and |, as a member of
the National Guard, think it a shame to
have to pay the command to turn out,
when they receive so much from the State,
and hope no other companies will turn out
in uniform unless paid, so the citizens can
see who has to be paid extra. George
Bigley, Captain Second Artillery, n. G.
c." The Captain will remain under ar.
rest until the return of Colonel Snedburg,
when he will either be restored to duty or
tried by Court-martisl. The inspiration
of the card is the action of the Fourth of
July Committee in appropriating $500 for
the transportation of Colonel Dickinson's
regiment from its camp at San Jose to San
Francisco to take part in the parade on the
Fourth. -rse
The white passengers on the steamer
Belgic still refuse to be transferred to the
hulk Wilmington, and remain on board the
vessel which brought them here. DR..
Lswlor, the Quarantine Officer, visited her
Monday afternoon, but did not discover
any traces of smallpox. He also visited
the China, the hulk to which the Chinese
passengers from the Beige were trans.
ferred, but did not find any cases of con-
tagious disease. He then went from the
latter named vessel to the Scraps. He
found no cases of sickness there and
thought that it was improbable that the
smallpox would break out among the Chi.
nese passengers. Monday afternoon Drs.
Regensburger and Stanton vaccinated all
the passengers on board the Scraps. Dr.
Stanton states that they were fine
looking lot of coolies, and that he had dis.
covered no cases OF sickness on board OF
her. The Chinese willingly submitted to
the operation of vaccination, and the la.
bors of the physicians were concluded in
about an hour and hall. The British
steamer Cairnsmuir, carrying fresh con.
Segment of coolies, has been overdue sinct
last Friday. She is hourly expected. The
other vessels which are en- route to San
Francisco carrying Chinese passengers are
the Malabar, the Canton, the Martaban.
