FROM CALIFORNIA.
The U. S. mnil steam ship Crescent
City, Captain Stoddnrd. nrrivod nt
quarantine nt luilf pnst 12 o'clock this
morning ami nt her dm k at G o'clock.
She brines one hundred and fifty six
passengers, in whoso hands, tho ofli
cers (if tho vessel report, arc about
$250,000 in gold dust.
The Crescent City arrived out nt
Chaerns, in ei'uht and a half davs
from New York; left Chnirres early
on the morning of the 1 1th of June,
and nrrivod nt tho dock in Kingston
nt 5 P. M. on tho 10th. thus making
the passage in two nnd a half davs.
She left Kingston on the 17th. at half.
past 5 P. M.
By this arrival we have advices
from San Francisco to the 15th May,
being fifteen days later than our pre
vious intelligence.
Great Fire at San Francisco. A
most destructive firo took place at
San Francisr.o on the morning of tho
4th May. An extra Alta California,
Issued on the day of the conflagration,
furnishes the following particulars'.
About 4 o'clock this morning tho
alarm of fire was given in Portsmouth
Square, and flames were seen issuing
from the building-known ns the United
States Exchange. Before many per
sons had collected the entire building
was enveloped in flames, winch com
municated with lightning like rapidity
to the Plienix Exchange, toward
Washington street, and to the Empire
House upon the Clav street side.
Alarm nnd confusion pervaded all
sides, and nil the ellorts which could
be used to check the (lames were
utterly fruitless. The scene was ani
mated beyond expression, ami hun
dreds were sen hurrying to and fro
endeavoring to clear their stores of
goods, and convey them to a place of
safety The flames spread across
Washington street and caught the
building upon tho opposite corner, and
nlsotheS. A. Wright Hall. What
little assistance could bo offered to
ward cheeking the flames was of no
avail, and the huge flakes of burning
materials, which were wafted by the
breeac and fell upon the surrounding
buildings, rendered their destruction
inevitable. Tho entire block between
Kearney, Clay, Washington and Mont
gomery streets, was entirely destroy
ed, with' the exception of Dubois's
banking house, nnd Burgoyne & Co.'s.
The books, money, nnd valuable
papers in almost all the mercantile
houses were savd. Upon the nrilt
side of Washington street rmarlv all
the buildings were c tnsumed to Mont
gomery, including the large brick
building occupied ns the National
Theatre. Taking a backward course,
the flames spread across Washington
street and destroyed tho Bella Union.
Haley House, Washington Hall, "t
Charies Hotel, Alta California printing
establishment, Frazer's building, nnd
all the edifices up as far as Dnpont
st., sweeping through to Pacific, nnd
going down again to the lower corner.
The loss of property is verv great,
variously estimated at from three to
Jive millions of dollars. As soon ns it
was rendered certain that the North
sido of the square must bo consumed,
we had stepped our morning edition,
which had just gone to press, and
commenced moving our press and
materials into the plaza. We were
enabled through iho kindness of friends
nnd acquaintances, who promptly
came to our assistance, to succeed in
saving a considerable portion of our
material nnd our presses, although
much damaged from fire The budd
ings both front and rear were entirely
. consumed. Upon the south side of
('lay St. aM the stores were badly
scorched nnd seriously damaged, but
were saved from destruction bv the
arduous exertions of the citizens and
property holders, who threw water
upon the scorching fronts, and kept
the roofs covered with wet blankets.
One or two engines nlsodid good ser
vice in that section-
There ' no doubt whatever that
this fire was the act of incendiaries,
and we are happy to hear that there
is a prospect of their arrest. Suspicion
has already nttachod itself to three
persons, we learn, and the police are
upon their track. One of them has
been arrested. It is stated that two
lads sleeping in the basement of the
Empire in the bowl;na saloon per
ished in the flames. Several person
were injured by the discharge of firfl
arms caused by the heat, but none ot
them dangerously. The flumes were
not subdued until about elcen o cIock,
and while we write the emhers are
still blazing brightly and glowing with
angry heat, as if in triumph at the
work ol devastation of the fire khig.
Our neighbors of the Pacific News
moved all their materials nut of their
office, hut succeeded in saving their
building.
The office of tho Journal of Com
merce was destroyed, and a portion
of the type and material of tho estab
lishment. The effects of this conflagration
will fall heavily upon the city at the
present time, an! probably produce a
temporary depression in business.
Th! scarcity of water, and the utter
absence of any thing like an organi
zation in the working parties, render
ed their services less available than
they would otherwise have been.
A reward of 8100.000 has been
offered by His Honor the Mayor for
the detection of the incendiaries.
If we take into consideration the
great extent of property destroyed,
covering an area moro than three
times as large as that of the December
lire, wo do not think the estimated
loss of four million of dollars is exug
gerated.
The San Francisco Journal of May
15 says :
The work of ro construction goes
bravely on. Already some forty lour
new houses are in progress of erec
tion, some of equal dimensions with
those that were destroyed by the fire,
and not a few nearly completed. In
a few days more, the wreck of the late
conflagration will he cleared away,
and scarcely a vestige of devastation
will remain to mar tho general aspect
of spirit and prosperity which charac
terizes our unusually lair citv. The
energy and alacriiv the expedients
and resources, which distinguish the
Anglo American population of Cali
lornia are conspicuously cviue.eil m
these rapid and cheering operations
From the Trinity River. - Tli
schooner Iteyerson, arrived at San
Francisco on the night of the llth ol
May, brings the latest intelligence
Irom the new settlements in Ine vi
jcinitvof Trinidad Bay. The Alta
California says :
We regret to hear of another seri
ous accident to a boat's crew. From
tho statement furnished us it appears
that on tho evening of the 27lh of
April, five passengers of tho brig
Cameo left St. George's Point in
whalo boat bound for Trinidad Hay.
When about 10 miles out, the sea
being rough, and the boat leaking very
badlv, thev became alarmed nnd put
for shore, when on landing their boat
was capsized in tho surf. 1 he fol
lowing named persons were drowned:
1r. ritzgcrald, from boston, Mr.
Frederic Arnold, from New Orleans,
Mr. Wistofl" and Gruber, Germans
Air. Eugene I)u Bertram! was saved
by an Indian, who jumped into the
sun to Ins assistance. Mr. Arnold
has a wife and children in San Frati'
cisco.
Ths boat which proved so clisas
trous to these gentlemen, was indeed
an ill fated one, being the identical
one belonging to the Arabian from
which M"ssrs. iJache, Browning and
Peoples wi-re lost.
From the (J:li Regions. The Pa
cifii; News of May 15. mentions that
a mass of go'd and quartz, weighing
fifty pounds was found near Mariposa,
and sold for sixteen hundred dollars.
The Stockton Times furnishes the
following items of intelligence from
the Southern mines:
Mr. Peter Mahan, of Sonora, in
forms us that the placer at Columbia
city, (about five miles from Sonora)
is not less than three miles square.
On Friday last a llexican found a
lump of gold lying near the surface,
weighing four pounds seven ounces,
and Mr. Mahan has also in his pos
session a lump weighing seventeen
ounces, found near tho same spot.
The placer has been discovered to
bo of extraordinary depth. One large
hole has been dog to the depth of
sixty-two feet through red soil of a
volcanic nature, and the quartz has
not yet been reached. Throughout
the whole djpih. from six feet below
the surface, gold in great abundance
has hern taken out.. It is sup ose I
that the wl ole area of this immense
placer is of the same character.
From many holes miners have taken
out from four to five pounds of gold
per day.
Several recent and important dis
coveries have been found, and nearly
every man is making an ounce a day.
Recently, in the Mariposa country,
a lump weighing several pounds was
found just below the surface of the
earth.
Col. Duprce was recently killed in
Hinds county, Mississippi, by his son-in-law.
Mr. J. S. Graves. The par
ties had a difference for some time
previously. On the 8th instant they
met at a church nar Brownsville.
Graves left the church, but was so.w
followed by Duprce, who approached
him and asked if he was armed.
Graves, hoping to prevent a difficulty,
said he was not. Uupree then pulled
Graves from his horse, and cut him
several times with a knife, when
Graves drew a pistol and shot the
colonel through the body. Colonel
Dupree died in about two days. Mr.
Graves gave himself up to the au
thorities and was acquitted, the evi
dence proving justifiable homicide.
Hydrophobia. A girl, named
Fowler, aged 14 years, residing with
her parents, in Green street, Phi.'adcl
phia. has been suffering under an at
tack of hydrophobia since Thursday,
which is supposed to result from the
bite of a cat. The girl lived with Mr.
Seth Smith, Treasurer of the District
of Spring Garden, and on an after
noon in last March, whilst she was
sitting with the family, a cat that was
kept about the house became sudden
ly mad. or seized with a fi'; where
upoi she proceeded to kick tho animal
out of doors. In so rioim. the cat
jumped nt her and bit her on the nrm.
ni i ...
i ne wound soo:i henle I, nnd nothing
more was thought of 'he affair, nor
was there any nonrohension of hy
drophobia on tho part of anyone. On
i tiursday last, at the residence of her
parents, she was taken nhirmintrlv ill.
and evinced a terrible dread of water
Spasm succeeded spasm. during which
her suffoi inos were enough to horrify
II around her. She was still alive
on Friday afternoon; but little hope,
however, was entertained for her re
covery.
From tup, Rio Guavdr The
Sentinel of tho 12 instant siys: "By
tho arrival of the steamer Hunt from
the Rio Grande City, we learn that
Captain Ford, of tho Hungers, has
had three different engagements with
the Indians between the Rio Grande
and the Nueces rivers, in each of
which he was victorious, ' nptnin
Kurd's command is said to have killed
from fifteen to eighteen of these sav
ages, and taken one prisonera raie
thing in Indian warfare, as the Indians
seldom surrender with life. One man
from tho Rangers was killed. Mr.
Gillespie, while charging over the
bodv of an Indian, was shot with an
arrow, nnd died almost immediately
There is now no longer any doubt ns
to the tribe to which these marauders
belong. The prisoner taken is a young
Camanchu warrior, an I lie reports, us
wo understand, between five anil six
hundred of his tribe in the valley fie
tween the Rio Grande and the Nueces,
with intention of plundering the in
habitants." Ditrss and Mf.hit. Dirard, the
famous French painter, when very
young, was tho bearer of a loiter of
introduction to Lnnjiinais, then of the
council of Napoleon. The young
painter was shabbily nttiretf, and his
reception was extremely cold; but
Lanjunais discovered in him such
striking proofs of talent, good sense
and amiability, that on Girard's rising
to take leave he rose too, and accom
panied his visitor to the ante-chamber.
The change wajso striking that Gi
rard could not avoid an expression of
surprise.
" My young friend," said Lanjunais.
anticipating the inquiry, "we receive
an unknown pers n according to his
dress; we lake leave of mm according
in bis merit."
Df.atii or Jacuij I1ys. Our obit
uarj record today includes the name
of an old and faithful servant of the
public, Jacob llavs, for nearly fifty
years high constahle of the city of
New York, and for n large portion of
his earlier life one of the most active
and efficient police agents of this or
any other country. Mr. Hays was
