The witnesses Of the respondaut say that
there was q haas en- the surface Of the water
at the time of the collision, aud that objects
could not be seen by them looking from the
water towards the shore.
Two facts proved in regard to the Me.
| chauic were, first, that she was 80 years old l.;
and second, that Capt. King, who was her
owner, took no steps TO get his vessel up AT
ter che was sunk and manifested no coz
Germ for saving her; but allowed his vessel
and her cargo to remain uncared for where
they lay. Most of the rigging was saved,
but this was more through the procurement
OF Capt Jones than that Of Capt. King.
If the Mechanic had been anchored on the fats
where vessels never passed, and had no light up
and the Oliver had by any accident resulting
from bad seamanship or fault run over her, the
Gaze would have been different from that before
Us. The immediate cause Of the accident would
have been tho unseamanlke act Of the crew of
the Oliver, and damages could have been award
ed in spite Of the want OF light on the Mechanic
Or, if the Oliver had seen the Mechanic where
she lay without light. aud had not done all in
her power to avoid collision, then the last fault
would have been the divers, and she would have
been held responsible. Or If the Mechanic had
been tied up to a wharf and had been run into
the case would have been against the Oliver:
Though it is better. even for vessels lying at
wharves, or out on flats, to have light up: yet
the absence Of it would not excuse vessels run
ming into them in such positions.
But the law Of navigation which requires YES
sells lying at anchor IN a fairwdy to have light
up is imperative. it must be obeyed. It must
be effectively obeyed. 1t will not do for the
master to hang up light after nightfall; and
then 20 to bed, trusting to the moon TO serve as
light, in the event that the winds or other cause
shall put out the light. Obedience to this i'm
p,rtant requirement of law must be certain and
.unremitted. The master must know that the
light is continually up Conjecture will not do.
When lying in faiIway the sDchor light must
be- known to be all this time up. aud this cannot

THE ART SCHOOL.

The California Museum Association has
issued prospectus for the establishment
of an art school in the e. B. Croker Art
Gallery in this city. 1t is to depend, as
regards its opening, upon the demand that
is manifest among the people for it. There
should be enough of pupils chairs applied
for at once to insure the opening by the
first of the coming month. The terms the
Association offers are certainly remarkably
liberal. There is a field for such a school
here, and it may be made the means of
great usefulness, and will enhance the edu-
cational advantages of Sacramento and
render it still more desirable for
residence. The opportunities the Asso-
citation enjoys through the munifcence
of Mrs Crocker's gift to the city are such
as are rarely met with, and these it pro-
poses to afford in all fullness to the pupils
that may register. 1t is certain that there
are children and young people who are
too poor to afford the cost, low as it is, of
attendance. But we believe there is gem
crosby enough among the wealthy to pro
vide scholarships for such native talent
and its development. How better could
the rich man serve the poor youth with
artistic aspirations, than by taking a
scholarship annually, at an expense of
fifty or sixty dollars, that will enable some
one such pupil to receive the instruction
that he or she Graves? There ought to be
taken in this city alone, fifty such scholar
ships, which should be awarded to merit.
Such sowing Of seed is pretty certain to
bring forth good fruit and to afford the
sower the highest qualification, while it
will benefit this city in any light in which
it may be viewed.
