A synopsis of two weeks later California intelli- gence, received by telegraph from New Orleans, in- forms us that a large portion of the city of Shasta has been destroyed by fire. This was the fourth great fire that occurred in our new State on the Pa- @ific during the month of November, the total loss ef property by all which is estimated to have been eleven millions of dollars. The heavy rains, men- tioned in our previous advices, had caused extensive freshets, in consequence of which mining operations had been materially interrupted. If the figures transmitted by the telegraph are correct, there has | been considerable change in the prices of some com- | Modities in the San Francisco market, particularly in | ‘the article of flour, which was quoted, on the Ist alt., at $44 per barrel. It is now put down as rang- ‘img at $40 on the 15th, and yet, at the same time it is reported that breadstuffs have reached a price hitherto unknown. There is evidently something ‘Wrong about this. Full details of the news may be expected to-morrow or next day, by the steamer Rorthern Light, which is about due here from San Juan. Late advices from the Sandwich Islands announce Mhat a recent riot, occasioned by American sailors, resulted in the burning of the station house and har” hor master’s office at Honolulu. The funeral of the son of Gen. Pierce will take place to-morrow. Our correspondent writes that the religious exercises will be held in Andover, after which the remains will be conveyed to Concord, and placed beside those of the General's first child. The latest particulars relative to the sad calamity are given in another column. ‘The inauguration of the superb equestrian statue ef Jackson took place in Washington city yesterday— the thirty-eighth anniversary of the battle of New Or- Jeans. By reference to the letter from one of our cor- Tespondents, descriptive of the wtemwt Gausey ie wut be seen that it is every way worthy of the fame of ‘the illustrious chief who guided our troops in the last engagement that occurred between America and England, in a war which grew out of the persistance ef the latter government to overhaul and search ves- sels on the high seas while sailing under the stars and stripes. Apropas—a British naval officer seems to have forgotten the result of that contest—he hav- ing recently boarded and searched the American schooner Aid, inside of the Stone Key. He certain- ly tried a very rash experiment, and one that is not Aikely to be passed over with impunity. Can it be possible that he has forgotten the battle of New Or- Jeans, in which a portion of hiscountrymen, who had | Janded in expectation of taking possession of the “ booty and beauty” of the city, were compelled to beat a precipitate and inglorious retreat, leaving a Jarge number of their companions in arms dead and | wounded behind them? If this English officer does | not recoliect this circumstance, the American people | do, as is clearly established by the demonstrations in | this and other cities. Business was generally sns- pended in Washington, and the President, heads of | departments and Congressmen, with a large number of army officers anda vast multitude of civilians, par- ticipated in the ceremonies of inaugurating the statue. | Neither Congress nor the New York Levislutare | were in session yesterday. ‘The New Hampshire Legislature adjourned yester- | @ay, after a session of fifty-three days, during which alarge number of important bills to the people of | that State were passed. | Great excitement has been produced in the Legis | Isture of Michigan, in consequence of the attempted | arrest by the sheriff, of a member of the Assembly, | named Strang, who is charged with having uided in the escape of a prisoner at Mackinaw, last June. The Bergeant-at-arms was ordered to take charge of Mr. Strang, and the matter was then referred to a special committee. The Virginia Legislature have instructed the Com- mittee on Judiciary, to whom the Lemmon slave case had been referred, to report in favor of prose- eating the matter before the United States Supreme Court. Quite a breeze has been created in the Massachu- setts Legislature by the refusal of the coalitionists to go into an election to fill vacancies in the Senate, un- til the name of a candidate who has since died, Judge Mack, was expunged from the list. After a very warm debate, the coalitionists carried their point, and the body adjourned; consequently the election for governor will not take place till Tuesday. Col. Medill has been nominated for Governor of Ohio by the Democratic State Convention. By the ‘way, we observe that two of the delegates from Ham ilton county had a fight in the caucus meeting. This does not speak very well for the harmoniousness of the Buckeye democracy A Slievegammon report was circ city yesterday that William 8. O'f el, and the other Irish exiles, had es arrived som 1 all over the t ed from Van | Dieman’s Land, and where in the | United States; and it was added that Mr. T. F Meagher bad received letters from them to that | effect. It may well} a tremendous exci tion; but it turned and had no other found npposed that this produced | nt among the Irish popu a Slievegammon rumor | on than the public state- | ment of Mr. Meagher himeelf, in peech at Cincin nati, which we publish to-day, in which he only speaks of the probability of the deliverance of the | waptives.

He farther states that | | tribes w | was apparent he was not sloy Ro foreign veese] of war had been seen in that vicinity, and that the Captain-General of Cuba bad not sent out a naval force to look after fillibusterce in the neighborhood of Samans. Thus we find that the rumored attempts of the French to acquire territory, in St. Domingo have, like the Sonora affair, fgllen to the ground. Captain Anderson and one of the crew of the schooner James C. Fisher lost their lives by the sink- ing of that vessel, last Wednesday night. The schooner was bound to this city, with grain, from Wil- mington, Delaware. The mill of the American Powder Company, in Acton, Mass., blew up last Friday, killing three men, named Hudson, Balcom, and Hanson. One hundred and fitty kegs of powder exploded. ae cars, ‘ten with dressed hogs, from the West, yesterday reached Dunkirk, on their way to this city. If lake navigation continues open the re- mainder of the season, as is now probable, provisions are likely to be cheap after @ while. Coroner Hilton held an inquest yesterday evening, at Bellevue Hospital, upon the body of a man named Cornelius Crimmings, who died on Friday morning, from the effect of injuries received by means of a piece of rock being driven, by the discharge of a blast, through the roof of the house in which he was | eating his dinner. The verdict is against the Farm- ers’ Trust and Loan Company, to whom the property belonged upon which the men were quarrying. We will give a full report of the testimony to-morrow. The steamship Humboldt, with advices from Eu- rope to the 22d ult., and the America, with dates to the 25th, are now greatly over due. The former will come to this port, and the latter to Halifax. The Seminole Outbreak—Our Indian Policy. Another war in Florida is staring us in the face. The Seminoles will not ratify the treaty made by Billy Bowlegs, and that slippery gen- tlemen—whether acting under duress or of his own free will, we are left to decide—has made off to the swamps at the head of his warriors. The charitably inelined tell us that Billy tried hard to induce his followers to act like honest men, and actually spent four weeks in vain struggles to procure the ratification of the treaty; but that his faithless henchmen. resolved to maintain to the last the character for treachery and cunning which they have gained, not only remained deaf to his arguments, but, assailing Billy on his weak point, levanted with his wives in their possession—thus ensur- ing his prompt junction with them. Others, again, whose knowledge of the Indian character entitles their opinions to grave respect, suggest that the wily chief, whose visit to New York is fresh in our memories, never intended to carry out the treaty he executed; but that. with true Indian duplicity, having enjoyed a very plea- sant journey through the Northern States, and suffered great men and ladies to caress him, his first advice to his clan, on his return, was to stick to the territory he had sworn to abandon, and snap their fingers at the treaties he had solemnly promised to observe. Whichever sentiment be the correct one—unless our in- formation be wide of the truth—it is perfectly clear that a fresh Seminole war is about to break out. and that Billy Bowlegs is either an active instigator or a reluctant participator in the recent hostile movements. It would be an easy matter to excite public feeling toa pitch that would bode no good to the Indians, were we to enlarge on the in- variable duplicity and perfidy of their conduct towards us. There would be few who could read unmoved the detail of our transactions with the red men of the forest; our constant and untiring efforts to ameliorate their condi- tion; and, in return, their persevering hostility when hostility was safe: their nttar diew-e-~> of the most solemn conventions, when remote from the avenging arm of our soldiery. That such a recital would be fully justifiable, what- ever were the results, we firmly believe. But it will not, we trust. be needed to stimulate our authorities to a zealous discharge of their duty. The Department of War at Washington, and the Legislature of Florida, do not require to be told that the only vulnerable point in the Indian’s breast is his fear of punishment, and that an oath sits as lightly on his conscience as the rib- bons which flaunt on his war dress. General Blake will, we doubt not. be enabled and re- quired to prosecute the war with merciless vigor. It is now seventeen years since the govern- ment at Washington received news from Flo- rida which obliged us to send the flower of our troops, under our ablest generals, into the noi- some swamps of that State. Of the disastrous campaign of 1836, and the fate of Major Dade and the brave men who perished during the war, it were too painful to tell here, and since that | time it may be said that the Seminoles have never been thoroughly quelled. Partaking, it would seem, of the attributes of the noxious animals who share their unwholesome retreats, they have ever been on the alert to sting the unwary traveller, or teach the settler in Florida that baleful swamps and a poisonous atmos- phere were not, after all, the worst foes he has to contend against. Time after time have their warriors fled from the presence of our troops, or sought, under covert of a perfidious treaty, a temporary impunity for their crimes, and a truce to the perseeution they so richly deserve. Neither kindness nor fitful severity have availed us anything; the first was met by un- blushing ingratitude, the latter by a rancorous surrender. We have been taught—Heaven knows at what a cost!—that nothing but the total extirpation of the vermin, or at least their transplantation into a territory where their dan- gerous propensities may he safely indulged against the brute creation, will secure to our fellow-citizens in Florida that peace and tran- quillity which are enjoyed by the inhabitants of their States. This fact was well known to General Case, the only statesman, perliaps, in this country | who thoroughly understands the Indian charac- When he settled our Northwestern boun- with the Michigan and other Indians on the borders of the lakes, he knew that so long the savage tribes continued to dwell in t ter ty of the whites, nothing but the certainty terrible punishment would restrain them Though an equal st f mar their recklessness and when excited cin nder snd murderous forays not endowed with urage to the white is much greate either hy hope or booty, a thirst of blood, or mer timulants, they are, perhaps, more formidab! foes than we have ever encountered. ith which he executed tre grate to the deserts of the West; ties to emi and where any signa of reluctance to fulfil their convention to ther I f to énfor to pro d States wa that the Uni trict adher prepr aty stipulations, at w! ridly } ecured to the settle the West millions oi acres of fertile land, which they can cultiva in perfect security, A similar policy, enforced by a man of not less energy and stern resolution than General Ces would Jong ago have delivered us fron e to tre General the Seminoles and Creeks. latter are not more astute or courageous than the tribes which Huron, in 1816; their numbers are it. and their disorganization aig Nothing but the vacillating course of our government— the blind gratification of the appeals of a morbid sentimentality, at the cost of the prosperity of a magnificent State. and the lives of many brave men—could have enabled the five hundred Se- minole warriors to hold at bay the whole force of the United States for nearly twenty years. A few months hence, the campaign will, per- haps, have terminated. Billy Bowlegs, when turther resistance is impossible, will surreader “with the honors of war.” and will pledge his faith (proh pudor !) to emigrate to the far bor- ders of the Mississippi. General Blake will | withdraw his sickly troops to garrison, and many | a young volunteer will carry home to his pa- rents the seeds of a fatal disease, contracted in the swamps and marshes of Lake Eustic. While yet the print of their horses hoofs is fresh in the soil. a new descent on some unsuspecting settle- ment will prove that the Seminole chiefs are not unfaithful to their reputation, and that mer- ey to such foes as these is barbarity to our countrymen. We forbear to continue. To call for blood is ever an unfaithful task; but those who have the conduct of the war in Florida must recollect that from the moment the power of crushing this tribe of miscreants is placed in their hands, to spare them is to assume the en- tire responsibility of their future behavior. Tue Anti-Renters DENOUNCED BY GOVERNOR Seymovr.—For the first time in the history of this State. the anti-renters have been denounced by Governor Seymour, in his recent message. This is highly creditable to the new Governor. Hitherto the Governors of the State, and the leading men, both of the whig and democratic organizations, have tampered with the anti- rent faction, wheedling and cajoling them for party purposes; and while each privately con- demned the lawless outrages committed by the agrarian banditti. they openly encouraged the doctrines that led to these results, just as Horace Greeley always advocated the principles of so- cialism and spirit-communication with the other world, though of late the philosopher turns into ridicule some of the fruits of his own teaching. The wire-pullers and office-seekers of the two great parties paltered with the anti-renters ina ding highest for their support; while on the other they were so many sheep. Whatever way the and thin. nity; the authorities, for party and prudential reasons, openly declining to bring them to jus- tice, or secretly conniving at their misdeeds. The newspaper press, too—the press of the isms— sustained this ruffianism, by direct advocacy or by throwing over it the shield of palliation. In some counties of the largest and most enlight- ened State in the Union—the Empire State par excellence—such a condition of society was permitted to exist as would disgrace the back- woodsmen of the Far West, or even the human savages of the forest. Occasionally rewards Wena: afin’ fine At Ain any g Ayr aan UE! conviction of the offenders; but it is well known that this was all sham; and, in point of fact. nothing has hitherto been done by the office- holders occupying the high places of the State that has had the slightest moral or legal effect against the agrarian rowdies who have sct the law at defiance. and enjoyed the same sort of impunity as the rowdies of this city for the last few years. Those officers of justice who had the spirit and integrity to attempt to en- force the laws were maltreated, after the fashion of the owners of the property and their agents. In the late election. so skilfully did the party managers on both sides work, that each got a | portion of the anti-rent vote, and thus it neutralized itself. This went some length in giving a blow to the predatory faction. But | the Governor's message will have a far greater influence in putting it down, because it is a dis- tinct indication that nothing will be left undone | on his part to crush to the earth an abomina- tion, which is not only a reproach to the United es among all civilized nations, but a dis- grace to humanity itself, We trust that all good and influential men of both parties, and all the respectable portion of the press, taking an example from his moral courage, will strengthen the hands of Governor Seymour, and aid him in extirpating this pestilent nuisance from the State of New York. From Port av Piarre.— By the arrival of the brig Gypsy, Capt. Boyd, we have advices from Portan Platt, to Dec. 22, and Turk’s Island, Dec. 24. Busi- ness was dull. The market was stocked and the to- bacco season was over. Gen. Santa Afia had been elected President. Several seamen from St. Tho- seized a Portuguese schooner lying in the har- bor in distress, on suspicion being a slaver and sent her to the City of St. Domingo. The crew were forced to march through under a guard to the city for examination. The last accounts notice the deaths of two of them from fatigue. Flour was selling at $6, lumber $24, rice 7c., codfish 6c., mack- erel, No. 2, 8c. At Salt Key, Turks Island, there were no vessels in Hgts There is no important news. Salt is scarce and selling at 124c. Marine Affairs.

We have to announce the death of this gen- tlemam, which event) took place last night at sbout twenty minutes before eleven o'clock, at his house 416 Broome street, in this city. The cause we understand was a brain fever, with which he was attacked on last Monday evening, up to which time he was in perfect good health. The performances at the Bowery theatre, of which he has for about thirty years, with some few interregnums, been the successful and pop- ular manager, were not concluded when the sad intelligence arrived. The suggestion accompa- nying the announcement, that the performance might be discontinued was unanimously acqui- esced in by his patrons and friends, who imme- diately separated. Mr. Hamblin first appeared in this country on the 18th April. 1826, in Philadelphia, in the character of Macbeth, and played during the engagement, successively, Rolla, Virginius, and William Tell. He very shortly afterwards be- came manager of the Bowery. and his career since has been identified with that establish- ment. It is said that the sudden death of Mr. Seguin, with whom Mr, Hamblin was for many years on terms of close intimacy and friendship, had a very great effect upon his spirits, and materially tended to induce the fatal result which it is our painful task to announce.

THE STABBING AFFAIR IN BEACH STREET—FURTHER PARTICULARS—THE ASSAILANT CONFINED IN THE TOOMBS. The affray which took place on Friday evening, between Andrew B. Bulger, a practical printer, and Rupert G. Hill, clerk in the store of A. T. Stewart, &Co., at the boarding-house, No. 38 Beach atreet» has caused a good deal of whispering among acertain class of visitors about town, more particularly as the cause of the assault originated through jealousy, res- pecting the favors of a fair lady. Upon visiting Bul- ger yesterday in the Toombs, we are enabled to fur- nish a more detailed account of the facts and circum- stances leading tothe violent assault. It appears that Bulger and Hill are natives of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and had been acquainted for many years past in Boston; they boarded together at the house of Mr. Thatcher, No. 31 Pemberton Square, where also boarded Mrs. Loring, who now forms a subject matter between these two individuals. The lady is handsome and said to be fond of adoration, but strictly correct in = Write cea two men ES said oe gen- teel, and rather g looking. sie owever, still exists as to why a jealousy sl ould take place between them about the favors of a married lady. We give the substance of Mr. Bulger’s statement. He says that, about a year ago, he boarded at the house No, 31 Pemberton erate, Boston, as did likewise Mrs. Loring and Mr. Hill. Here a difficulty Lori d the f Ppomiiee te aba ing, an e former i% the most strength, seized Bulger by the neck, choked him, and otherwise assaulted him violently. For this as- sault the landlord of the house compelled Hill to leave the premises, which he did, and took board elsewhere. m after they came to New York, and Mr. Bulger took board at No. 38 Beach street, as did also Mrs. Loring. A short time since, Bulger heard that Hill had made a call upon Mra. ring, but he (Bulger) did not see him. On Friday evening, when Mr. Bulger entered the parlor, he then saw Mr. Hill seated, in conversation with Mrs. Loring; Bulger did not say anything, but seated himself on the other side of the room; in a few minutes after, Mrs. Loring and Hill walked out of the parlor, and Bulger, believing Hill was going to leave the house, followed after; but insead of leav- ing, a8 he anticipated, Mr. Hiil walked up stairs, accompanied by Mrs. L., to her room. Bulger be- came insensed at the apparent preference given to Hill, pursued him fp stairs, and at the instant he waa entering the appartment with the lady, Bulger seized hold of him by the coat, and with a dirk knife inflicted several stabs and cute on his neck and head. The wounds, although severe, will not; it A ery of murder was given, i Mr. Samuel L. Vought, proprietor of the e, hurried to the scene of disturbance just in time to arrest the arm of the assailant who was about to inflict another blow, which might have proved fatally. The police were called, and officer Bigley of the Fifth ward, took Bulger into y ou the charge of attempting to take the life r. Hill. The accused was taken to the station and in the morning was brought up before | Justice Osborn, who committed him to the Tombs to await a further examination. During the day Mr. Vonght appeared betore the court and made affidavit in the case, setting forth that the accused wulted Hill with a dirk knife, inflicting several stabs and cuts on the back, head, and breast, and as Mr. Vought believes,the injuries were perpetrated with the felonious intent of taking Hill's life. Bulger does not deny the fact of the assault, but says that he never intended by any means, to take the life of Hill. The injured man was conveyed to his residence No. 108 Leonard street. Highway Robbery ard, on Friday night Officer Kane, of the Fourth between 11 and 12 o'clock, amed John Haley, charged h violently assaulting a German masician named William Hoff, residing at 49 Maine street, Brooklyn, and stealing ‘rom his person by force, two dollars in money, and a musical tuning key. The key was found on the person of Haley when arrested by the officer.

The amount required will be about $700, and it is to be hoped, through the benevo- lence of this Christian community, that such sum will be readily acquired. Frre.—Last Friday night, an over-heated chimney of the house No. 401 Grand street, set tire to the rear portion of the roof of the building. The house is owned and occupied by Mr. John H. Patt, and an alarm was instantly given by his family, when the flames were extinguished with very trifling damage. Captain Russell, with a section of ‘officers from the thirteenth ward, attended. Dearu on SuiresoaRrp.—OCoroner Gamble held an inquest yesterday (Saturday) evening at his office, City Hall, upon the body of a child, named Margaret Mullin, who died on board the ship Yorkshire when coming into port from Liverpool. Dennis Mullin, her father, testified to his having sent to Ire- Jand for the child, and when he went to the ship for her he found her dead. Edward Youug, captain of the vessel, deposed to his having had the most severe weather on his late passage that he has experienced in hirty years; he had a Yery noor class of emigrants, to whom he paid all due attention, with rations and otherwise; the child sickened and died. Verdict— Death from debility, caused by a long sea voyage. Surcipe By Drownrng.—About half past one o’clock yesterday afternoon, an unknown man rushed to the edge of the North river, at the foot of Ham- mond street, and jumped from the dock into the wa- ter. Before assistance could be rendered the unfor- tunate man was drowned. ‘The officers of the Ninth ward station house, assisted by the people around the dock, recovered the body and notified the coroners. Coroner O'Donnel proceeded to the place and held an inquest upon the body, but up to the termination of his mngely it was not identified. The jury return- eda verdict of death by drowning. The deceased was a thin, spare man, about five feet eight or nine inches high, with dark brown hair, and plainly dressed, ATTEMPTED SurcipE.—Atan advanced hour on Fri- day evening, a man named James Umberson, a tailor by trade, residing at No. 22 Roosevelt strect, made an attempt to terminate his existence by cutting his throat with a razor. He inflicted a severe but not fatal wound. The officers of the Fourth ward called in a medical man, by whom the wound was sewed up and dressed. The man had been drinking for some time,and it is supposed that the effect of rum had led to his unhappy state of mind. AccIDENTAL Drownina.—About five o'clock last Friday evening, a man named John Green, a native of perpsch who was cncloved as a fireman on board of the steamship Atlantic, was accidentally drowned by falling into the water, while attempting to get on board the vessel at her dock, foot of Canal street.
