The vessel had boughs on ber stern, and tha figure-bead (.peaking figuratively) was as full of bough, as a dancing master. They were to prune the bowsprit and some of the spars twice a week. The quarter deck was covered with shrubbery, and the cook', caboose resembled a rustic summer house. Crab apple* grew on the pump handle, and a cherry table in the cabin bore fruit. Perhaps the most remarkable circumstance occasioned by the stimulating and fertilising influ ence. of the guano was that the cockroaches on board became so large that they could get up the anchors and make sail on the brig. One of the owners of the craft facetiously remarked that ahe went out a full rigged brig and came homo half hark. There is nothing like guano to make thing, grow, and for strict truth and veracity give us an oldaailorwhen-he lays himself out on a big yarn. —Botton Herald. The Great Earthquake in the Mississippi Valley.—Many persons bad been deterred from going to Illinois by tbe erroneous impression that the country was subject to volcanic action. This had originated from the great earthquake of 1811, by which tbe Valley of the Mississippi had been greatly shaken, the shocks having continued ior nearly three ni jnths The country just below the mouth of tbe Ohio river, would seem to have been neartbe centre of the agitation. For mile* the land had been seamed with yawning chasms and deep holes, tbe remains of wtiicb are still visible. 'I'be bluff on which New Madrid had been built had suuk to tbe level of tbe river, and had become soon afterward totally submerged. The commo tion in the Mississippi had been very great; the banks had caved in, islands had dissolved, and the channel had become changed. At every shock the surface of tbe rivur bad risvn and fallen like the waves of the sea. An eye-witness, who was coming down on a flat boat, says: "After escaping many dangers, my boat sud denly swung round in tbe conflicting currents and rapidly shot up the river. looking ahead, 1 be held tbe mighty Mississippi cut in twain, and pour ing down a vast opening into the bowels of the earth. A moment more and the chasm filled ; but the strong sides of the flat-boat were crumbled to pieces in the convulsive efforts of tbe Hkkl to ob tain its wouted level." The Indians bad been utterly bewildered by tbe earthquake, and could account for tbe physical ta rn tilt only upon tbe supposition that things gener ally bad been getting drunk. It is said of one of them, who had given himself np for lost, that, upon being questioned a* to what the matter was, be bad replied, while at tbe same time pointing fearfully to tbe heavens, "Great Spirit, whiskey too much !"—FerrU'i States and Territorial of the Wen. A GtKFat Ship Buii.dino Establishment to be Sold.—The London correspondent of the North American says: The enormous iron (hip building establishment of C. J. Mace is about to be sold under a flat in bankruptcy. The works occupy nearly fifteen acres pf ground near Blar.kwall. In the years I&S3 aad 1?54 upwards of 36.000 tons of shippiog was launched from them. Vessels of war for the governments of England, Turkey, Kiissla, Spain and Sardinia have been bnilt here, and many mail steamships, including the Himalya, Pera, Prince, Candia, Hydaspes, Arago, Cru-sus, Golden Fleece, together with yacht* for the Emperor of Russia, the Sultan of Turkey and the Viceroy of Egypt A large portion of the great iron tubular bridge across the Menai ritralts was cast here, and alto rails, <tc., for the East India and North London Railways. The cost of the erection of the works alone within the last 14 years has been $1,250,000. It is now all to be brought to the hammer of the auctioneer. Taking the Vote.—The political papers are discovering bow the wind blows by votes in steamboats, railroad cars, private parties, Ac.— None thus far have accomplished their object as neatly as we find recorded in the following : The captain of a canal boat was bringing a large number of passengers down the l'ennsylva nia Canal, and had been considerably irritated by the publications in the papers, showing that the traveling public were all tor Adams. Watching a favorable oportunity while nearing a bridge, and while hiij passengers were on deck discnssing poli tics he called our, "All in favor of Jackson will stoop their heads." Every man ducked of course, to avoid coming in collision with the bridge, and the captain triumphantly raised bis head, crying "unanimous for Jackson," aud so it was reported in the Democratic paper of the next village. This was considered the best political ''dodge" of the campaign. , Religious Societies in England.—There are in England four Bible Societies—the great British and Foreign, having aa income of about $700,000 a year; the Naval and Military, the Trinitarian and the Translation Societies—together having an income of nearly ®7a0,000. There are seventeen Missionary Societies, which have together an ia come of nearly $2,r<00,000. FOUR Men Hung —Young C.

Fatal Affray at Vicksbuho —A few days ago an affray occurred at Vicksbnrg, Miss, in which Wni. B. Blodgett was stabbed and killed by James Morris. The latter fled, was partued, and shot, receiving a mortal wound. Suicide.—Nathaniel P. Baker, of Conway, Mass., a member of the Bangor Theological Semi nary, hung him*elf on the 10th inst.

At the latest accounts, they were still la fMsiea. Their tones consisted of 4,000 infantry, 500 cal vary, Ave companies of artillery, with thirty piece, of ordnance. These troops drill la several armo ries, in different parts of the city. Occasionally they appear In the streets for regimental drill. Oea.

Bra** field piece* were mounted on the roof* ready for instant action day or night. Several additional criminals, convicted by the Revolutionary Tribunal of ballot box stuffing, have been baoiabed from tbe State and sent to sea on board foreign benad vessels. Tbe following parties have been arrested and are awaiting their trflD:—Thoa. B.Cunningham, one of the murderers of Col. Weymouth, of New Orleaa*; Tho*. MUJery, a highwaymaa; BUI L*wi*. a ballot-box staffer; Cohort Lipaiey and Philaneer Brace, murdeten. All the arrett* have been made without blood-ahed, and chiefly without violence. The Vigilance Committee'* police force number some thousand men, armed with revolvers. . An immense mass meeting was held on the 16th bv the friend* of the Committee, when ipeeche* were delivered by Hon. Mr. Ouer and other*, fully endorsing tbe actiona of the Committee. Terrence Kelly, one of tbe men ordered to leave the State, retuied to do *o, and was token into custody. Since the first shipment of rogues the committee have Instructed John Crowe, J. W. Bagiey, Jamea Hanneseay, William Hamilton, William alias Jack Maguire. James Cusick, Terrence Kelley and John Lawyer, to the State of California, never to return; on or before tbe 39th of June. Tbe Vigilaace Committee have issued an ad dress to the people of California, of which tbe fol. lowing extract gives tbe *pirit: For years they have patiently waited and •triven, in a peaceable manner, and in accordance with the forms of law, to reform the abuses which have made our city a by-werd; fraud and violence have foiled every effort, and the laws to which the people looked for protection, while distorted and rendered effete in practice, so a* to shield the vile, have been used as a powerful organ to fasten upon u* tyranny and misrule. As republicans, we looked to the ballot-box as our safeguared and sure remedy. But so effectu ally and so long was its voice smothered, the votes deposited in it by freemen so entirely out num bered by ballots thrust in through fraud at mid night, or nullified by the false counts of judges and Inspectors of elections at noon-day, that many doubted whether the majority of the people were not utterly corrupt. * Organized gangs of bad men, of all political par ties, or who assumed any particular creed from mercenary and corrupt motive*, have parcelled out onr offices among themselves or sold them to the highest bidders; Have provided themselves with convenient tools to obey their nod, as clerks, inspectors and judges of election; Have employed bullies and professional fighters to destroy tally lists by force, and prevent peace able citizens from ascertaining, in a lawful manner, tbe true number of votes polled at our elections; And bave used cunningly-contrived ballot boxes, with false sides and bottoms, so prepared that by means of a spring or slide spurious tickets, con cealed there previous to the election, could be min gled with genuine votes Of all this we have the most irrefragable proofs. Felons from other lands and States, and uncon victed criminals equally as bad, have thus con trolled public t'unds and property, and have often amassed sudden fortunes without having done an honest day's work with head or hands. Thus tbe fair inheritance of our city has been embezzled and squandered—our streets and wharves are in rains, and the miserablo entailment of an enor mous debt will bequeath sorrow and poverty to another generation. Tbe jury box has been tampered with, and our jury trials have been made Ur shield the hundreds of murderers whose red hands have cemented this tyranny, and silenced with the bowle knife and the pistol, not only tbe voice of an indignant press, but tbe shuddering rebuke of the outraged citi zen. To onr shame be it said, that the inhabitants of distant lands already know that corrupt men in of fice, as well as gamblers, shoulder strikers and oth er vile tools of unscrupulous leaders beat, maim and shoot down with impunity, as well peaceable and unoffending citizens as those earnest reform ers who, at the known hasard of their lives, and with singleness of heart, have sought, in ajawiui manner, to thwart schemes of public plunder or to awaken investigation. We have no friends to reward, toenemles to pun ish, no private ends to accomplikh. Our single heartfelt aim is the public good; the purging trom our community of those abandoned characters whose actions have been evil continu ally. and have finally forced upon as the efforts we are now making. We have no favoritism as a body, nor shall there be evinced, in any of our acts, either partiality for, or prejudice against any race, sect or party. Beyond the duties incident to this we do not de sire to Interfere with the details of government. We have spared and shall spare ne effort to avoid bloodshed or civil war, but undeterred by threats or opposing organizations, shall continue, peaceably if we can, forcibly if we must, this work of reform, to which we have pledged our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor. Constitution of the Committee of Vigilance | ot Stan ffranclaco, adopted May 13,1856. Wliereas, it ba* become apparent to tbe citizen* of San Francisco that there i* no security for lite and property, either under the regulations of so ciety as it at present exists or under tbe laws as now administered, and that, by tbe association to gether of bad characters, our ballot boxes hare been stolen, and others substituted or stuffed with votes that were never polled, and thereby our' elections nullified—our dearest rights violated— and no other method left by which the will of the people can be manifested— Therefore, the citizens whose names are hereun to attached do unite themselves into an associatioi for tbe maintenance of the peace and good orde of society—the prevention and punishment of crime—the preservation of oar live* and property, and to insure that onr ballot-boxes shall Hereafter express the actual and unforged will of the majori ty of our citixens, and ws do bind ourselves each onto the other, by a solemn oath, to do and perform every just and lawful act for the maintenance of law and order, and to sustain the laws when faith fully and properly administered. But we are da teriniued that no thief, bnrgiar, incendiary, anas sin, ballot-box staffer, or other disturbers of the peace, shall escape punishment, either by the quibbles of tbe law, the insecurity of prisons, the carelessness or corruption of the poflee. or a laxity of those who pretend to administer Justice; and to secure the objects of this aseociaikm we do hereby agree, Ist.

M, Kelley was suddenly roused from his sleep, and under the impression that his bouse was being broken into, seised his gun and instautkneoutly fired upon some one, as be thought entering tbe door; but to bis horror he fouud he bad shot his wife, who was fastening it The shet entered just in front and above the right hip, penetrating deep into the body. Two physicians were immediately called io, but found her -beyond hopes. Sbe lin gered resignedly and uncomplainingly until about 4 o'clock Saturday morning, when she died, leav ing an almost distracted husband, an infant son 11 months old, and a large number of relations and connections to mourn their loss. Mr. and Mrs. Kelley bad been, married nearly two years, were remarkably fond of each other, and were living most happily together, when the unfortunate occurrence, like a thunder-bolt, de stroyed her existence and blighted bis. Hewaa, at night, timid and in tbe habit of koeplng a leaded gun near his bed; hence the terrible accident — Tltey were both members of tbe Church. Sbe was the second daughter of Mr. Seth Campbell, ef Caroline county. P.

The engine, tender, baggage car, and eae passenger car, were badly smashed, bat no passengers wer " injured— Tbe engineer, Mr. Davidson, was badly hurt, but not fatally injured, and one of the firemen had bis skull fractured and one leg broken.

Knocking OJ —A number of mechanics of the city who have beea employed la out-door opera tions, hare been compelled to lay aside their tools aad seek a shady spot wherever it can be foand, in order to prevent meltiag. A few hoars expo sure to the sun, such a day as yesterday, woald change a fat man to a sack of oil, or bake a lean oae aa brown as a red herring. Engine Mm ms—Many of the firemen are much rejoiced la team that the Council intends building Buitable bouses for the apparatua of Companies 2 and 3, and to purchase good engines for Companies 2'and 4. The Phoenix and Protection boys Kill now go to work in earnest, and in alt future time prove themselves worthy members of a gal lant profession—that of firemen. The new engine bonces should be erected somewhere in the neigh borhood of the new custom house, so as to be rea dy to act promptly wbeaerer needed. CUnnimg Up —The of the Capi tol Square has bad a number of trees, on the east end of those beautiful grounds, cut down, and is now having the earth prepared for the reception of grass seed. The improvements, when comple ted, will add very much to the eomfbrt aa well as genera) appearance of that nortionfof the Square, which, heretofore, has not reeehed as much atten tion as the west end. C'Utf LoU.—ln our report of the proceedings of the City Council in yesterday's paper,we made an error ia stating that tbe property which would be for sale at tbe site of tbe present gasworks consist ed of several lot* on Dock street. It should have been several lots on Cary street and one on Dock street. The communication from tbe Chairman of the Com mittee on Light described tbe property as "four lots on Cary street 25 feet 6 inches front extending back 117 feet, one lot oo the seme street fronting 30 feet and extending back 160 feet, and another fronting on Dock street 30 feet and extending to wards Cary street 160 feet." The. whole property Includes a front of 132 teet on Cary street, 117 feet deep, connecting at tbe next corner with a strip of 30 feet, wide and extending to Dock street This is one of tbe most valuable sites for a large busi ness bouse which has been in tbe market for many years, and if bought in one piece by uy one wbo would avail himself of its advantage for shipping or receiving goods from the dock, it could be made to pay a large per cent on even a liberal in vestments As all ol the operations of the gas works will be removed to Rocketts in a few weeks, this property will soon be offered for sale, and those who have ah eye to such matters should be on the lookout. Wood p. Cottrell was fined #2 by the Mayor for obstructing Caaal street with wood — Mr. C. stated that he would Gave the obstruction removed at once, and for that reason the fine was placed at a low figure. Hcary Blotc—Norman Hoik, the mate of the ■chooner Bengal, from Rockland, Maine, wu ar raigned before tbe Mayor yesterday, for felonious ly assaulting, beating and wounding one Benjamin Barges*, a seaman on board that vessel. When tbe case was called, it was stated tbat tbe wound ed man could not be in court, on account cf his in juries, and the investigation was therefore post poned till this morning Hoik gives as a reason for the assault, the disobedience df orders, and an attack made upoa him by the sailor. Tbe wound was given with a handspike on the head, and though supposed to be not at all dangerous, is much more severe than tbe slight scratches on the scalp of Senator Sumner made by tbe India rub ber walking stick in the hands of Mr. Brooks — Burgess, it is thought, will be well enough to turn out in a day or two, and if he is, it is to be hoped that he will notfollow tbe example ef the plagiarist Senator, by sticking to bis bed, outgruntlng an Alderman, and complaining of softening of tbe brain, but will attend court, and let his assailant have an immediate hearing. Bad Scrape.— Wm. Tbaeker, charged with break ing the arm of hie paramour on the night of the 6th insi., again appeared before the Mayor yes terday, and was remanded to jail to answer to the Court of Hustings for the offence. In for it.—¥ rancis Bridgewater, Wm. Baker and Thomas Murphy, three bad boys, were committed to prison by tbe Mayor, yesterday, is default of bail, to be of good behavior. 4ffection*u —David Williams, a free negro, beat his wife Judy Ann, last Monday night, for aome trivial offence, for which the Mayor ordered him two d<>zen and one stripes yesterday morning. Indecent Krjtorure —A number of lads, of all ages, are In the daily habit of stepping and ba' thing In ffhoekoe Creek, to tbe aanoyaoea of all decent females in the neighborhood. A good switching would have an excellent effect in pre venting this annoyance in future., Railing the Reservoir.—The scarcity cf water oa Sbockoe Hill at times is owing to tbe fact tbat the present reservoir is too low to furnish adequate supplies, and for that reason, steps should be ta ken to have it raised much higher, so that those who pay for water caa have the use of it. We have heard it suggested that this improvement caa only be made by a heavy expenditure of money, but what signifies thai! Nothing eaa be accom plished now a days for the public good without tbe ••xpeaditure of flit by lucre. If the people demand the improvement, so a* to forniah aa abundant supply of ll!at element, they have to foot the bills, aad should therefore have their wishes granted. jr«q> Cbol, tW* weather, ia eaaier said than dose; bat how a man can *crew op hi* courage, at this time, to the knock down point, without flrit taking on an of fighting whUkey In ad vance, U more than we can eonjectore.
