Wells, Fargo & Uo. 000 Arrival of Lieut. Beale and His Party at Los Angelos. Total. We find the following letter, dated at Los Angelos, Aug. 81, in the San Francisco Herald:— Fdward F. Beale, Esq., Superintendent of Indian Affairs in (alifornia, reached this city on the 22d inst. via the Cajou l’ass. Mr. Beale left Westport, on the frontier of Missouri, ith, with a party of fifteen men, (includ- ing Messrs. ‘and Kodgers, of Washington, D. C.) Having c the Arkansas, the expedition followed up the Huerfene to its sow nd crossed the Rocky Moun- tains by the Sangre de Cristo Pass, entering the valley of the Del Norte, and reaching Fort Massachusetts in twenty days from Westport, travelling without guide, and most of the distance by compass. The actual travelling time between Westport and lort Massachusetts was seventeen days. the mountains at Couchotope Pasa, Mr. Beale proceeded towards Grand River, fording several large # none of which are mapped. One of these streams, the Rio de la laguna, was a perfect mountain torrent, and for some time bailied the superintendent in his efforts to cross his equipage. At last he bethought himself of the mode adopted by the Peruvians in crossing similar streams, and put it in operation. Attaching a string to» stone—the string being fastened to one still larger, and that to « substantial rope—the stone was thrown across the rapid, and the end of the rope drawn over and made fast to the trunk of a tree. Mr. Beale then fastened the other end of the rope to a tree on the opposite side, this end having an elevation of twenty-tive or thirty feet. An iron ring was placed upon the rope, and to this ring was attached the various articles which were to be transported across the river. The ring would slide along the rope to the opposite side, and when re- lieved of its burden would be drawn back; and so on, back and forth, until everything was passed over. The expedition then proceeded to the Uncompagne, a tribu tary of Grand River, in crossing which one of the pack pet By was drowned. This was the first animal loss. The country abounded in game, and they were never a day without deer, elk or antelope. Beale and his pariy pushed on as far as Grand River, which was found to be swollen by the melted snows from ‘the mountains, and running with uch rapidity that it could not be rafted. There was no resource left but to construct acanee. Cutting down the largest cottou- wood tree that could be found, the men set to work, and in three days a cance was completed. In this the baggage | was nafely passed over the river, with the exception of ae load.” Khe the laet trip of the canoe, and unfortunately, when near ite destination, in consequeuce of one of the men be- coming frightened and attempting to jump out, the canoe was capsized, and its contents irretrievabl, lost. Halfthe men were on’one side of the river and half on the other, and all the firearms and provisiens, except « simall quan- tity of panola, were at the bottom of the river. deliberating some time, it was determined to send Mr. Heap and others of the purty to Taos for provisions and arms, Mr. Beale remaining near the river with the men. Messrs. Higgs and Rodgers accompanied Mr. Heap to ) Biexico, and returned to the United States. The superin- tendent soon found it necessary to remove from the river a sbort distance to the mountains, where the game was more abundant, and on the third day alter Mr. Heap’s de- parture about twenty Utahs came into camp. They were somewhat impudent at first; but Mr. Beale put on bold face, and kuowing that he was wholly in their power, upon their invitation, accompanied them to their lodges, These Indiaus were al well armed «nd well mounted, and the valley in which they lived was found to be fall of horses, undoubtedly stolen from California and New Mex ico. Having guined the friendship of these Indians, Mr, Beale lived with them upon the most amicable terms, bunting with them, and sharing whatever game was ob- tained, until the retura of Mr. Heap from Taos. In seventeen days after the accident at the ri Heap returned, and the march of the expedit sumed. Grand river was crossed, and here the Indians | for the first time exhibited any evidences of hostility. A | large band of Utahs, returning from a buifalo hunt, had encamped near the river, ani their lodges dotted the val- ley for @ great distance. up the Indians drew their bows, and demanded powder, balls, and tobacco There were at least three hundred warriors, armed with rifles, and bows and arrows. Mr. Beale tolc them that he had nothing to give them, and that although the Indians were strong enough to kill him and his party, yet as he was weil armed a great many of ‘the Indians would be killed in return. Many of the sa- vages persisted in fighting, but after a great deal of talk- i ‘dj and the expedition was al The ys hovered about, apparently with the design of stealing some of the animals; but by keeping his party togeth: r, and guarding his animals vigi- lantly, Mr. Beale met with no loss, and came on to the ‘Avonkaree river. This stream is not put down upon any map. It isa large, deep, and rapid river, too rapid to raft, sodas wide as the Missouri at Kansas. Here a boat was made of bull Lides. A hide boat, you must know, is the safest boat that can be made, and it is aleo very easily construct- ed. Two hides are fastened together ¢t the ends, and then stretched over @ willow frame, shaped to the purpose required. While a weoder boat would hare a hole knockec through by the first stone it struck, a hide buat | might pound upon the rocks for a long time without | injury. A canoe ix easily upset, but it is very difficult to | upset one of these boats. The frame work, being woven | basket fashion, gives a stitfness to the boat, and a sym- metrical form, with the precise proportion desired. All | the Sag omg xafely passed over the Avonkaree and | here l¢ found « perty of Mexicans in perfect despair a8 Low they sivuid proceed. They had been waiticig twenty-one days for the waters to subside. They dared not turn back, for, in crossing Green river, they had lost two of their men, and they could not go forward. Their prospect seemed glooiny enough uc til the appear- aaes of Bee. Beale, who conveyed them across the river, ‘and sent them on their way rejoicing. ‘The superintendent then proceeded to Green river, which was crossed in @ similar manner as the Avonkares, and with the same hides, which had been packed upon mule. The expedition then pusLed on rapidly to Little Salt Lake, where there is 4 flourishing Mocmon settlement. | Here the people were found to be in a state of great alarm. Walker, the Utah chief, had made war upon the Mormons, bad killed several men, and driven off uy of three hundred hend of cattle. He had sent them word that the war wus to continue four years, etd that he was determined to capture all their horses avd cattle. The Mormons had abandoned Paraguna, a beautiful little town, leaving their houses and grainfields in the valley near the lake, and removed to Parawana, a larger settlement about six m distant, in order to give it greater strength. ¥ remarkable India, He is not a chiet by hereditary right. but bas risen to his present position as supreme chief ¢ the Utals, solely by his own energies. He makes annua incursions into this country; and t is estimated that within the last four years he has driven off not less tham two thousand horses.

While Mr. Seale was elayed at Grand River, the animals were despatched to Taos and back, a distance of nearly eight hundred miles, which was accomplished in sixteen days, aud this distance must be added to that travelled on the route from West- port to this place.

THE APACHES—EIGHTY MURDERS IN ONE WEEK.

While the savage treads our territory, the Sonoranians have no other prospect than misery and death, because the prosperity and progress of a people are impossible, while they lose every day the lives and fortunes of their citizens, snd the moral and materyal powers of society. These are not new truths, but these same facts Lave been repented time and again until they have become tir some ; but perhaps some accounts of their present ravages, \ rob and assassinations, may not be useless.

Statu quo is a term you must have stereo- typed in your office ifyou continue to publish Jamaica correspondence, for that term seems applicable to our po- litical sffairs, As they were, so they are. How long they will remain so I cannot say. Our new Governor is still “coming” in a vessel miscalled the Brisk, and, until he comes, things must remain as they are. The public revenues are being lost at the rate ofabout five thousand dollars aday. The public creditors remain unsatisfied, In short, it appears now as if there,is no place for anything but confusion.

Still, I eannot help thinking, tov, that ia this case the majority are right; and so long as they adopt measures dictated by pure ‘and conscientious mo- tives. they must not be dismayed by the consequences. The Arsembly have done their duty. ‘Their last efforts have been render*d valueless to the country by the coun- teracting influence of corrupt and selfish council, backed by a partizan Governor.

These mock mani- festations of sympathy for the worst Governor that ever isgraced an administration have called forth the loud de- nuneiations of the press, which has been consistently op- osed to Sir Charles Grey's government.

New Yorx, Oct. 10, 1853. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Sim—Having noticed the advertisement of the United States Postmaster-General, calling for tenders for the con- veyance of foreign mails, I deem it right to mention, for the information of those interested, that with a view of promoting steam communication with a northern port in the States, the Bahama government has guarnteed the sum of £1,000 sterling per annum, for five years, to any company which makes Nassau, N. P., a regular stopping point. In addition to this premium, there would be other sources of profit. To say nothing of the emoluments from the monoyoly of numerous passengers, and frem freights, it is more than probable that the Royal Mail West India Packet Company would promote the undertaking by a mutual arrangement to relieve them of the conveyance of the British mail to Nassau, which, under such system, would be transmitted from Liverpool v York. I have reason to believe that the W.I Packet Comyany would find it more convenient so to do. ‘The steamer between New York and Havana would di- verge but a little from her course, and the additional time required would not much exceed twenty-four hours. I am not conversant enongh with c miereial matters to know whether the Spanisl port charges would be lessened by touching at a British port. hese remarks are respectfully submitted, with a view of inducing contractors to make an additional offer in their tendr ra, 40 as to include Nassau, New Provideuce, in the Havana route, and it is my intention to communicate the substance of ‘this letter to the Postmaster-General.

Underhill vs. James McCullough, and chers.—This action is brought to recover the value of a carpet bag and contents, placed on board the steam- beat Francis Skiday, owned by the defendants, at New- burg, on which t ff was @ passenger from that place, bound to New Yerk, and lost or never delivered to plaintiff. ‘The plaintiff proved that his wife took and paid her passage from Newburg to New York, and that she placed her carpet bag, containing certain wearing ap+ parel to the value of between $40 and $50, in the posse: sion of a person having charge of the baggage on board of the boat, and who gave his card at the time of re- ceiving it—that on arriving at the city of New York they ascertained that the carpet bag had been lost. ‘The defendant's counsel contend that they were not lia- ble, inasmuch as tre plaintiff had entrusted his baggage to the care of a person who had given his card, and that plaintiff must look to him for its loss. The Judge decided that the defendants were liable; that they could not relieve themselves from liability by Fermitting persons employed on board of their boats to urnish passengers with cards; and gave judgment for plaintiff for $40 damages and costs. APPEAL IN APMIRALTY—LIABILITY OF THE OWNER OF A SHIP FOR SUPPLIES—CONSTRUCTION O01 THB ACT. Oct, 19.—Elisha B. Ruckman vs. JohnH. Mott.— This libel was filed in the court below, against the owner of the ship Radius, to recover the sum of $274 for neces- sary stores and provisions furnished the ship upon th order of the master. She was about entering upon voyage from this port to Norfolk, Va., and thence to the West Indies, and eredit was given for’ the bill of supplies until the return of the vessel from her voyage. Jennett, the master, who ordered the supplies, chartered her of Ruckman, the owner, on the 25th September, 1851, for twelve calendar months from date, at the rate $200’ per month, the charterer to keep the vessel, in good repair during’ the term, and pay all bills and demands againat the same, and to do all acts necessary to her safety and good condition, and deliver her in good order at the expi- ration of the twelve months; ordinary wear and tear ex cepted. There was also special stipulation that the charterer was to furnish the ship with all the requisite stores # rtats, and uso to bear the expenses of her navigation; the vessel to be delivered into his possession for his sole use and disposal during the aforesaid term. Leland and others being owners of the Radius, sold her to Ruckman on tho 26th September, 1861, on which day the sale was recorded, and the vessel registered in his name; ané at the same time and date, the charter party Was entered {no between him and Jennett. The supplies in question were ordered by Jennett on the 19th of the month previous, although they were not delivered until the 25th. The question in the case is, whether or not, the owner is liable for them under the circumstances stated. These supplies were furnished by the house of S. & E.S. Bloomfield, but in order that the members of the firm might be witnesses in the case, they asvigned the demand to Mott, the libellant, in whose name the suit is brought ; and one of the members of this firm is the priceipal witness to sustain it. Jennett, a witness for the defence, states that at the time he purchased the supplies, he informed :he house that he had chartered the ship for the voyage above mentioned, and that he wanted the food on eredit until the vessel returned, which was agreed to. The vessel returned from her voyage in February, 1852, and soon afterwards the bill was pre- sented to him’ for payment, but not paid. Bloomfield denies that Jenzett informed the house at the time of the purchase, that he had chartered the vessel of Ruckman for the voyage ; but admits that he told hnn at the time the defendant was negotiating for the purchase of the vessel, that the papers for the transfer had not been com- leted ; but that they would be ina few days, and that hi Jennett, was to be the master. He further states that he de- layed the delivery of all stores until the defendant became the owner, for the purpose of securing his liability for the payment; and, that he had ascertainet the titie of the vessel was perfected at the custom house before the goods were actually delivered. This is the substance of the testimony in the case that has any material bearing upon the question involved, although the examination of the witnesses hax been extended in the court below toa most unreasonable and unprofitable length. And, looking at it in a: y aspect in which it can be viewed, it is quite clear, that, although Ruckman was the general owner of the ship at the time the supplies were furnished, yet, Jen- nett who procured them, was himself the owner pro hace vice by virtue of the charter party; and, hence the person exclusively responsible for the same. . (18 Hast 258 16 tb. 1601 ad. 1 Ell. 312 Abbot p. 61, 42, 43 and notes, and Webb vs. Pierce, before Mr. Justice Curtis, 15 Law Rep. p. %.) He was not the master of Ruckman at the time, but the master of the vessel, representing his own interest as charterer. Ruckman had neither appointed him, nor held hin: out to the public as the master of a ship over which he had any control; and hence Jennett no power to bind him as his agent. ‘This was admitted by the learned counsel for the libellant, on the argument; but it wus insisted that, in the absence of notice of the charter party to persons furnishing the stores, it must be regarded as null and void under the provisions of the act of July 20, 1860. (G. H. at large, p. 440.) But, assuming this to be so, I am satisfied that the Messrs. Bloomfielé are chargeable with notice. Besides the positive testimony of Jennett, it appears that they made inquiry in respect to the fact of the purchase of the ship by Ruckman, and of the transfer of the title of Whick ship Jennett was to become the master, Having made this inquiry, they must have known the relation in which he stood as master of the ship; or, if they did n: t, the failure must be attributed to their’ own negligence, After taking so much pains to ascertain the point of time when the negotiation for the vessel was concluded, and Ruckman became owner, so a4 to charge him with the jreviourly ordered by Jennett, and the delivery de yet ll he would become the master, it is difficult to . nizant of all the circumstances ed with the trensaction; and of consequence, in Jon he stood ws master of the vessel, I eannot ut that they are properly charge- with noties of this relation, if tho fact ‘was-at contt able oll material ‘The act of July 29, 1850, provides that no bill of sale, mot shall be mortgagor, actual notics hypethecation, or conveyances of any vessel, &e. «rainst any person other than the granter or 4 and devivees, and persons haying u the same thall be recorded in the oftce of the Collector, &c. The second section provides re jing; and the third, that the Collector shail indes of such records, inserting, alphabetically, mes of the vender or mortgagor, and of the vendee e, ke. Thea ent is, that the charter p like the one in question isa conveyance witlin the first section of the act, and is, therefore, void as ‘© the third person without notice, unless recorded, ence not in the way of the libellant. There is, un? edly, some plausibility in the argument as to the construction of the act, and difficulty in answering it; and yet, this instrament is so common and well known in the busines and in the use and em- ploym of ships, t if Congress had intended nace it, it would have been most natural to have ytioned it in terms, And the phraseology of vendor nd yendee, and mortgagor and mortgagee, used in the third section to designate every description of convey- ance specified in the first, issearcely appropriate language fis it represents a charter pa But be this as it may— and J do not intend to express any definite opinion upon ii—it seems to me quite clear, even conceding the con- struction contended for, the only consequence would be to mi subject (he ship to liability in favor of third persons, the fame ax if no eonveyance had been made, Recording acts relate to conflicting interests, and liens acquired in and upon lands and chattels, and are designed to regulate the same, As in the present case, if the Messrs.

Ocroma the United States vs. Francesco Genzales.— The Spaniard and 5" colored. iam Palmer, mate of the ship Waban, examined by Mr. Dunning, Associate District Attorney, deposed t! the prisoner, Francesco Gonsales, was steward on the sel for part of the Yoyage from New Orleans to Havre and that he wounded him, Palmer, with a knife, on the 26th of April last, on the high seas. Witness described the cir- cumstances of the assault; the prisoner had been ordered by the captain to perform some duty, which he refused to do; witness asked him why be did not obey the captain's orders; he raised a knife and said he would stick any oni who came near him; he was in the pantry at the \time; witness went forward and put his head into the pantry window,and the prisoner struck him on the head with the knife; witness afterwards seized the prisoner, and with the assistance of the captain wrested the knife from him and placed him in a room; the blow was a pretty severe cut right tu the bone and witness bled profusely; in seizing bim there was a seufile, as he resited as hard as he could,and he gave witness second cut onthe head, which also bled very much; the prisoner deserted from the ship in Havre. Cross examined by Mr. Whedon—did not see the captain strike or kick the prisoner; Gonzales went to work as a sailor the next day after the assault, and worked all the way to Havre; he did not return in the vessel; witness did noi see him since he deserted there until he saw hin in this city. John McDennel was ordinary seaman on board the Waban on the voyage from New Orleans to Havre; saw rt of the difficulty deposed to by the mate; the captain rected that the water on one side of the ship should not be broached until he gave orders; the captain’s orders were violated, and he weat to make inquiries about it; the steward suid it was he that bad done it, and told the captain not to interfere with his business; the captain desired him not to be saucy; the steward neld a knife up in his hand, and told the captain he would give him the “contents” of it; the captain told him several times to come out of the pantry, but he would not do so; the mate came down; witness then described the assault as deposed to by the mate.

United States Cireuit Court. Before Chief Justice Nelson. APPEAL IN ADMIRALTY—JURISDICTION OF THE COURT. Oct, 10.—Thomas Kansom and olhers, vs, Willian Mayos —This is a libel against the respondent, ship builder, and owner ofa shipyard in Coxsackie, Greene county, for damage occurring to the owner of the vessel, in conse- quence of her breaking from the fastenings’ upon tho Ways, as she was being hawled up to be placed in the yard for repairs, The libel is founded upon the implied engagement and duty on the part of the ship builder to perform the service with skill “and care, whereas the famage resulted from negligence and want of proper skill in conducting the business. The court below dis- missed the libel for want of jurisdiction, upon the ground that the duty did not arise out of a maritime contract, nor were the work and labor to be performed a maritime service. The contract was upon the land, and related to service to be performed upon the land, and the case did not therefore fall within the admiralty jurisdiction. I entirely concur in this view, and must, therefore, affirm the decree below, with cost: Superior Court—Second Part. Before Hon, Judg + Campbell. Oct, 6,—Mark Levy & Brothers vs. the New York and Erie Railroad Company.—This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, importers of fancy goods in this city, against the defendants, for ths detention of two trunks containing faney goods, shipped by them on board the defendants? cars, at Dunkirk, on the Slst day of July, 1851, for the city of New York. It was alleged on the part of the plai tills, by Mr. D. B. Taylor, their counsel, that the trunks were addressed to the plaintiffs in New York, by a super- scription en a card fastened to them; that the defendants agreed to deliver the trunks and contents to the plaintitfs at their place of business in New York, uninjured and in as good order as when delivered to the defendants, without any unnecessary delay; that instead of being so delivered, they were detained by the defendants until the 17th day of October, 1851, in consequence of which detention the Jods had become unfashion ble, unmarketable, and de- ciated in value, to the loss of the plaintiffs of $492. For ‘ullerton that the trunks pr defence, it was eontended by Mi were not addressed to the plaintifly and that the only mark on them was, ‘ M. L. & B., N. Y,’’ and that the de- fendants never agreed to deliver the tranks at the plain- titls’ place of business, but that their usual course of bu- siness was to deliver all goods at their depot in this city, which they did in this instance, on the 4th of October, 1851; but owing to the illegible marks on the trunks in question, the defendants were unable to ascertain to whom they belonged, although they used every means to do so. ‘The defendant’ also allege that the mark on the freight bills was ‘Lenning & Co.,”” but no such name could be found in the Direetory or’ by any other source, and that in consequence thereof they were not liable for the de- tention. Oct. 10.—The case was submitted to the jury on Friday evening, but in consequence of the adjournment of the court the result was not known until this morning, when the jury brought in a verdict for plaintiffs, $100.

Cer. 10.—The case of Hope against the Sixth and Eighth Averue Railroads was again postponed, in consequence of he engagement of counsel in another cause. Oct, 10,—William Dunbar w. Patrick Duffy—This was ax action foran assault and battery committed on the Jnintif’ by the defendant, on the 6th day of July, 1852, by his kicking defendant in a most dangerous part of the body, whereby the latter was seriously injured, and con- fined in the City eerie for some weeks. The plaintiff, by his counsel, Mr. H. L. Clinton, it appeared, was a labor- ing man, employed in driving a coal cart, up to the time of the injury, but since which he has been unable to do any work. ‘It appeared to the defence that the plaintiff had been in the habit of “imbibing” occasionally; and Mr. John MeKeon, on the part of the defencant, contended that the quarrel originated from the fact that the plain- tiff wax intoxicated at the time, and provoked the assault for which he now sought to recover damages. It also ap- peared that the plaintiff had been discharged at various times from employment, in consequence of hia inebriety, and taken back again when sober; also, that the plaintitt had amattack of delirium tremens while in hospital under freatment for the injury complained of, which counsel contended went to show the condition of the plaintiff, and that the inflammation arising therefrom retarded and delayed his recovery. ‘This cause was on the caleadar for the last June term, nd an inquest taken, when the jury assessed the damages $900, in favor of the plaintiff; subseq rently the inquest was opened, on terms, and the defendant allowed to come in and defend, and the cause was restored to the present calendar. ‘The jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff for $300.
