(From the Pacific News, July 17.) The arrival of the schooner Sierra Nevada, Captain Edwards, on Monday last, 36 hours from Humboldt, has put usin possession of interesting tidings from the Trinity region. Jt will be recollected that subsequent to the set- tlement inade at Humboldt and Port Trinidad, a ty of exploration proceeded on foot from the atter place up the coast, to the distance of about thirty miles, where they came upow a river of large volume, emptying mto the Pacific. A party of men, however, had already located at the mouth of this river; but they amicably joined forces for the purpose of mutual benetit defence ia the Fer vars the main river, and its principal uibuteriew, which they immediately resolved upon. ‘The first attempt to penetrate the interior reault- ed disastrously in the death of one of the company, and the return of the remainder to the settlement at the mouth of the river. Our readers will recol- lect the ee ng ag we gave a full history of the transaction at the time. Not discouraged, however, by the failure of this attempt, the company resolutely set to work to carry out their original intention; and very soon | snother company started up the stream in boats. This time an met with no accidents of a serious choracter; # they purened their investigations, until now they are able to present the most accu- | rate eketch of that much talked of regioa we have hitherto eeen.
