Ms The steamship Daniel Webster, Capt. Graffam, has arrived at thia port, from San Juan Nicaragua, bringing San Francisco dates to the 15th December, a fortnight later than our previous advices, The steamship Northern Light, left San Juan for New York on the Ist of January, with about two hundred passengers. ; Heavy rains had occurred, causing great floods in the interior, ond materially interrupting mining operations. A large portion of the city of Shasta was destroyed by fire on the 28th November. The total loss was about $100,000. The first legal execution took pleee at 5 cisco on the 10th inst. Catharine Hayes was achieving immense triumphs; the first choice seat, at an auction sale, had realized $1,100 premium. China dates to October 5th had reached San Fran- cisco. The news was unimportant. Honolulu dates are to the 10th November, and give the particulars of a serious riot, occasioned by American sailors, and before it was. quelled the sta- on house and Harbor Master's office were burned down. ‘The whale ship Bramin, of New Bedford, was lost in the Arctic Ocean, on the 25th September, with a cargo of 1,500 barrels of oil. Her officers and crew | were all saved. The following clipper ships arrived out at Son Francisco on the 9th December:—The Seaman, Dan- iels, from New York August 2d, 129 days passage; the Sea Witch, Fraser, from New York. August 22d, 109, oye; the Samuel Russell, Limeburner, from New York August 12th, 119 days. MARKETS, The following are the ruling quotations:—Flour, $40 per bbl.; rye flour, $35; molasses, 35c. per gallon; Boston syrup, 8c.; butter, 38c. per 1b.; hams, 22c.; brandies have declined 5 cents. ANOTHER ACCOUNY. In addition to the foregoing, we gather the follow- ing from a despatch to the Philadelphia Bulletin: — The entire trip from San Francisco to New Or- leans has been made in twenty-three days, being one of the most rapid ever accomplished. The Daniel Webster brings about 100: passengers, who have among them some $75,000 in gold. One of the paeetears reports that the regular mail steamer from San Francisco to Panama would take in the neighborhood of $2,000,000 in gold. The news from San Juan possesses no special im- rd pod ene were regularly. made without any detention whatever. ‘The news from California was interesting, but pos- sessed no feature of startling importance. A number of the passengers of thé steamship City of Pittsburg, destroyed by fire at Valparaiso, had ar- rived at San Francisco. ‘The rainy season had commenced in good earnest throughout California, at the date of the steamer's departure. The streams had risen to such an extent as to ren- der many of the roads impassable. The rain, how- ever, had interfered very little with the ree) of the miners, who are represented to be doing well. The greatest drawback experienced in the mines was the continued high price of food, the want of which, at cheaper rates, many of thg miners felt severely. oo The markets for nearly every description of pro- duce had largely advanced since the departure of the steamer of the Ist ult. The greatest advance that has been realized was in the price of flour, which commanded figures never before heard of since the discovery of gold in the State. Provisions were very scarce, and held at rates too high to admit of operations except for supplying the actual wants of the people. The general feeling in the market was, in consequence of the rapid advance, quite inanimate. A bold organization of robbers had been discover- ed in Los Angelos county, who carried on nefarious operations to such an extent as to excite fear throughout the whole neighborhood. Plans were adopted for their capture, which proved successful, and several of the number were executed. The city of Sacramento, which lately suffered so severely from fire has been almost entirely rebuilt, and the appearance of the city has greatly improved. in Fran- Non-Arrival of the America at Halifax.

The brig Two Ladies, from Port au Platte Dec. 20, arrived here this morning. Port au Platte is only about twenty-five miles from Samana, and the captain reports that the story of its occupation by the French is without a shadow of foundation. He was there several weeks, and during that time vessels were constantly passing and re-passing hetween Port au Platte and Samana. Not a foreign vessel of war had been seen in that neighborhood, nor any vessel sent, as had been stated in letters from Havana, by the Captain-Gene- ral, to look after fillibusters in that quarter. The republic of St. Domingo was in an unusually i ate, politically. a rtuguese fore-and-aft schooner, with a crew of men, had been seized at Port au Platte, on suspicion of being a slaver, and taken to St. Domingo city. ‘The health of Port au Platte was good. Wreek of the Schooner James C, Flshec—Two Lives Lost. Parcapenrota, Jan. 8, 1853. A letter from Lewes states that the schooner James C. Fisher, Capt. Anderson, from Milford, Delaware, for New York, loaded with grain, struck, on Wednes- day night,on Seven Mile beach, and filled. The captain and one of the crew lashed themselves in the rigging and perished—the rest of the crew swam ashore. The body of the captain has been sent to Wilmington, where his family resides. Opening of the MUwaukic and Misstsstppl Railroad. Janesvinin, Wis., Jan. 7, 1853. The opening of the Milwaukie and Mississippi Railroad, to Janesville, was celebrated yesterday, at this place. A train of fifteen cars arrived here at 3 o'clock P.M. A large crowd had gathered at the depot, and great enthusiasm prevailed. Charles 8. Gordon, on behalf of the city, welcomed the citizens of Milwaukie. KE. H. Holton responded, in a short but elegant speech, and the proceedings all passed off pleasantly. Produce for New York—Lake Navigation. Duwxirk, Jan. 8, 1 A train of eleven cars, loaded with live hoga, and four cara londed with dressed hogs, came over the Buffulo and State Line Railroad last evening, en route for New York, via New York and Erie Railroad. The weather is fine and navigation stillopen, The steamer America passed this port this morning, on ber way to Buffalo. The State ADJOURNMENT OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE LEGIS,A- TURE—LARGE NUMBER OF BILLS PASSED. Concorp, Jan. 8, 185%. The Legislature of this State adjourned at noon to-day after a session of fifty-three days, during which a large number of acts passed. Among thenr were bills creating many corporations. Two banks were made—a new one in this place, to be called “The State Capitol;” another at Newport called “Sugar River Bank.” Many factories were char- tered, viz—for a new mill at Garvin's Falls or Man- chester, granted to Wm. Amery and others, capital one million. Two more of same nature. The State was districted for Members of Congress and State Senators. The Union Railroad bill, already spoken of by me, paased for the benefit of Clark & Brothers, of m, and others. This occasioned much ex- citement, and an immense array of council and lobby members. The State is thought by some to have finally been handed over to Stato street, Boston. pt street will have to stand back a while longer. Fhe Union Railroad will not be built just at present; Brobably this matter was a it feature of the ses- sion. bill passed for the Inspection of Flour, an important one. The Governor: will have considera- ble patronage by it, and the New Hampshire Yan- kees better bread, it is hoped. Awful stuff-has been sold here for superfine branda, although theusands levelénd and of barrels pass down the railroed from Ogdensburg, weekly. ‘he bill to divide the State into districts, for elec- tion of Senators, was passed, by 114 to 55. The Senate passed the road Union bilf last creates by seven to five. The State Reform School scheme was postponed to next session. COALITION MOVEMENT IN THE MASSACHUSETTS LE- @ISLATURE—GREAT EXCITEMENT. Boston, Jan. 8, 1853, In the Logislature, to-day, considerable excitement existed in consequence of an attempt: by the coali- tion to postpone filling the vacancies in the Senate, assigned for to-day, until the name of Judge Mack, of x, one of the candidates, who is dend, was Sapeneed A very warm debate ensued, and lasted until 2 o'clock, when the coalitionists succeeded in carrying their point, and both houses adjourned until Monday. Ne Governor can now be- elected untit Tuesday. ARREST OF A- MEMBER OF THE MICHIGAN LEGIS- LATURE ON A CHARGE OF AIDING. A PRISONER TO ESCAPE. Derrorr, Jan. 8, 1853. Considerable excitement existed at. Lansing on ‘Thursday, in consequence of the arrest of J. Strang, a member of the Assembly, by under Sheriff C. W- Tuttle, of this city, on an indictment found against him last June, at Mackinaw, for aiding the escape of a prisoner. Mr. Tuttle petitioned the House for rmission to remove him. A resolution ordering im into the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms, was laid on the table, and the whole matter was referred to a select committee. ‘The Ohio Democratic Convention.

The following add tional particulars have been furnished to us by Capt. Stellor:—He was sailing at the time, witha light breeze, inside Stone Key, making in for Cardenas; the flag of the United States was flying at his mast- head. An officer and six men from the West, a British sloop of war, boarded him. He gave an ac- count of his vessel, where he was from, and where going to; but this did not satisfy, and they proceeded to search his hold. Finding nothing there, the officer then demanded his papers, and after examin- ing these, he and his men left the schooner. Capt. Stellor does not complain of any ill treatment or rudeness from them, but thinks they have, most posi- tively, asserted the right to search United States -— in American waters.—Charleston Standard, lan. 5. Exprvoston tn Sour Acton.—The powder mill in South Acton was destroyed by an explosion about ten o'clock yesterday morning. The following par- ticulars we learn from a correspondent:—-The sonnd of the explosion was heard for several miles. The scene was one of destruction and death. Three men employed at the mill were instantly killed, being thrown into the air and mangled in a horrid manner. So much disfigured were they, that it would baille the eye of an acquaintance or friend to recognize them. ‘Their names were Balcomb, Hanson Hudson Fragments of the building were strewn in all dire A year or two ago a mill standing on the same spot was blown up in a similar manner, and the sound of the explosion was distinctly heard at Concord.

Triumph of American Genins.—The Grand Statue of Jackson, The New York Heranp being the ever-ready ad- vocate of American genius and skill, f send the fol- lowing notice of one of the grandest and most beav- tiful works of art of this or any former age—the co- lossal bronze equestrian statue of Gen. Jackson. This statue is now elevated in the workshop of the artist, Clark Mills, Esq., ready to be removed to Fay- ette square, where it isto stand, and where it will be inaugurated on the 8th of January next, the anniver- sary of the battle of New Orleans. Itissupposed that the President and the Vice-President elect will be present on the interesting occasion, and that the dis- tinguished men of all parties, with a large concourse of people, will attend. So it ought to be; for no only is the great hero and statesman a “nationa man,” in the broadest sense, and especially in the character of a general here represented, but the work itself is such an extraordinary achievement of native genius, that Gan American should be proud of it and should ‘honor the artist and the occasion. It is not saying too much to assert that there is no equestrian statue in the world equal to if-. I have seen most of the celebrated statues in the Old: World, and understand the comparative merits of all; but 1 never saw anything, nor could I imagine anything, so like a living animal. Its proportions, the ana- tomy, the attitude, and the action, is so perfect and life-like, that it scarcely seems an inanimate thing. Every muscle is in fuil play, and drawn up with the force of an excited and rampant’ horse. With its eye of fire and expanded nostril, breathing impatient fierceness, it looks, to use the poetic language of Scripture, “terrible.” The artist has fully reatized the ancient and sacred poet's grand conception of a war-horse. There is no part of it, from the beautiful and fierce head to the very hair of the tail and the hoof, that is not full of expression. Beyond all question it is, in point of merit, the first equestrian statue in the world. Those who were most intimately paquainted with Gen. Jackson, say that the likeness of the old hero is excellent, and that dressed in precisely the: same uniform. he woro at the battle of New Orleans, the whole figure looks livingly natural. My astonishment is not less than my admiration.

Mr. Fuller, of Lawrence; wa = © was ®& passenger in the cars, from which weqaom * the following :— ‘Two incidents, among the many terrible ones, are especially present to my memory. On the bank wat a mother, (Mrs. Stokes, of this city,) clasping ber little boy of some three or four years of age; he had) been rescued from the ruin which had strewn the rock with splintered fragments, and her owu persom was considerably burned by the fire, bot she wae shedding tears of gratitude over her rescued child, and rejoicing in his safety, unmindful of her owm pain. But a few steps from her I saw the most ap- palling scene of all. There was another mothor, whore agony passes beyond BBY Osten, She could shed no tears, but overwhelmed with grief, ut- tered such affecting words as I never can forget. It was Mrs. Pierce, the lady of the President elect; and near her, in that ruin of shivered wood and iron, lay a more terrible ruin, her only son, one minute before so beautiful, so full of life and hope. She was sup- ported by her husband aud Prof. Packard. General Pierce was himself bruised in the back, but not severely. and the wounds of the spirit far ex- ceeded any bodily suffering; yet, while deeply af- fected, he ‘showed all the self-possession and nerve h only characterizes great-hearted and noble men, and which few would manifest under similar circumstances. He gaveall needful directions about the recovery of his little boy, still entangled in the wreck about him, and then afforded all that comfort and sympathy to his partner in sorrow which was ap- propriate to the time. She was conveyed to s house near by, and there she gave vent to the grief which rent her heart, while he consoled and comforted. f under any of the great artists, nor ever saw their works; he, by. the force of his own native genius and indomitable perseverance against. the greatest’ difficulties, has, in this great work, outstripped all the genius of the Old. World. But the most striking feature of this colossal statue is the whole group being balanced and resting on the hind feet alone. ‘There is no other support. The tail is thrown up, and the fore feet raised in a rear- ing attitude. Here is a mass of metal, thirty-five thousand pounds weight, balanced on the hind feet of the horse, and stands as immovable as the pedes- tal itself. It was considered a great triumph of are in supporting the world-renowned statue of Peter the Great, at St. Peterburg, which is only about a thousand pounds heavier than this ono, by its hind feet and tail alone. The English papers speak in high terms of the artist of the Wellington statue, at Edinburg, for having succeeded in sustaining that great statue in the same way, that is, by fastening the tail. This must always give a tame, unnatural appear- ance to the horse. If the artists of Europe think they have done something great—if the Russians think ita great merit in their statue, which cost. nearly a mil- lion dollars und eighteen years labor—if the English boast of their Weltingtom statue—what shall we dhe“ceatee aN” ahs MAL Whee hy. cighlly placing most natural attitude to the horso, has made his statue to stand without any other support than his hind feet? ‘This is truly a grevt triumph of American art. It would appear that not only are we beating the Old World in the practical and useful, but in the fine arts also. fills, who has labored four years with so much anxiety, and against so many difficuitias and discouragements, has placed bimself in the first rank of great artists. He has lost money by his contract, but he reaps a great glory, sud the American people wa we doubt not, be proud to honor and rew: im. ii TELEGRAPHIC. INAUGURATION OF THE EQUUSTRIAN STATI CLVIC AND MILITARY PROCESSION—MAGNIFIC! DISPLAY, ETC. WasuinoTon, Jan. 8, 1853. The procession moved from the City Hall for La- fayette Square, in order of programme. The day could not have been a finer one. The military escort was composed of the following companies:—Ringgold Flying Artillery, Col. Taylor, ordered here from Fort McHenry, Baltimore ; a de- tachment of Marines, under Lieutenant Henderson ; Washington Light Infantry, Captain Tate ; National Greys, Captain Bacon; Continentals, Captain Wil- son; Walker Sharp Shooters, Captain Bradford ; German Yagers, Captain Schwartzman; and Boone Riflemen, Captain Bright. Then followed surviving officers and soldiers who served under Jackson, and a civic octssion, according to the programme. Many distinguished individuals took part in the pro- cession, which presented # yery imposing appear ance. The procession reached Lafayette square a few minutes before one o'clock, where a magnificent spectacle was presented. Near the statue, which stands iu the centre of the square, were two elevated ranges of seats, occupied by hundreds of ladies; the capacious and beautiful square itself was filled with a vast multitude of citi- zens and strangers, yariously estimated at from ten to twenty thousand; while at the windows, and upon the balconies and house tops of the princely dwellings around, were numerous groups of spectators. Directly west of the statue a rostrum had been erected for the orator and distinguished guests. W noticed upon it Clark Mills, Esq., the artist; T Douglas, the orator; Rey. Messrs. Butler and Gallagher, chaplains to Congress; the President; all the members of the cabinet; Generals Scott and Wool, in full uniform; General Houston, Colonel Benton, General Armstrong, Father Ritchie, F. P. Blair; the Com- mittee of Arrangements, vi Mayor Maury, B. B. French, and William C. Rives, and several others. At one o'clock the services commenced with an appropriate prayer, hy the Rev. C. M. Butler, chap jain to the Senate. The Hon. S$. A. Douglas was introduced by Major French. Mr. Douglas pronounced an eloquent ora tion. He commenced by an allusion to the staty before him, the product of the genius of Clark Mill who had never even seen a statue of the kind befor ‘The statues of Peter the Great and the Duke of Wel lington presented no such admirable arrat the horses being maintained in rampant atui being bolted to their pedestals at the tail, whereas this-was entirely self-poised. He then gave a biogra- phical notice of General Jackson, and concluded with encomiums upon his illustrious deeds. Clark Mills was then introduced, and re with mech cheering. He waved bis hand to his tants, and instantly the veil parted, fell, and dis closed to the view of admiring multitudes the magni ficent bronze statue.

Sacred i# the holy privacy of sorrow, and the hearts of those ere have suffered can feel what my pen must not de- seribe. Soon we were able to convey the wounded and the dead to the nearest house, which happened to be that connected with the poor-farm in Andover, where every pone kindness and attention was rendered. Go with me, Mr. Editor, to that house, and look with me awhile on that scene of suffering and sorrow. In one room were Gen. Pierce and his lady, in tho osite apartment lay the mortal remains of ittle boy—and oh! so sad a sight! The blow, which he was instantly killed, struck his forehead, and was so violent as to remove the upper portion of the head, leaving a part of the brain exposed, The face, with the exception of a bruise about the right eye, still remained uninjured, but bathed in blood. Gen. Pierce and lady, meanwhile, retired to the house of Mr. Aikin. In the same room was a lady, Mrs. Newell, of Hillsborough, considerably bri , and her face cut. Her little daughter, twelve years of age, lay near, with her foot so badly injured that amputation will he necessary. She bore her pains Sweeny and pa- tiently. Im another room Mr redge, of Pelmaa, lay with his leg broken, and a Mr. Childs, of Henni- AU, SUL DLuves, WULL with o face covered With blood. Others much brui had gone ow in one train which returned for us from Lawrence. Every attention which could possibly be paid to those in- jured was given at this ho where most of the wounded werecetried. The physicians were prompt in their services, calm, kind, and, so far ay one not of the profession can judge, judicious. After the head of the little boy had been tenderly eared for by the physicians, and all possible done to restore the look of lite, he was carried by us to the house where his afflicted parents were. I'shall never forget the look of extyeme pain that child’s face wore; and yet there was something resigned and tender im- pressed even by the awful hand of death. He was not yet cold when he was in the room of Mr. Aiken's house, dre: just as he had been at the moment of the calamity. The form which had left that house but little more than an hour before, full of life and happiness, with a beart full of hope and bright agpir- ations, was borne back to those who had parted from him—that heart now hushed and still—that forne motionless, and the limbs fast growing rigid under the icy touch of death.

An extra train will bring the remains to this town, where they will be deposited in the | cemetery near the old North Church, beside those of Franklin Pierce's first child.
