On Thursday afternoon abont tive o'clock, the people of this bay were warned of a vessel in distress by the roar- ing of Caouon, some eighteen or twenty reports reaching us io qnick snecession—perhaps not more than forty of fifty seconds apart. The Columbia being due, it was at first Lads Sos that she had got into trouble on the bar. Under this impreesion, in company with a friend, we started immediately for Humboldt Point, but were induce ed to turn back by some gentlemen we met, who ware 0 the impression that the reports were occasioned by thun der. Returning ts town the alarm partially subsided, until about eight o'clock, when the tug came booming up the bay after a supply of fuel. Capt. Babne and Broder- son had beard the guns, and were positive that the reports came from the vicinity f Cape Mendocido, which is about twenty miles below the ontrance of this bay. ‘The wind was blowing a gale from the southwest, and the rain was pouring down. At such a time it appeared like folly for the tug to a'tempt to go out on an uncsrtain- ty of a veesel belug in distress and the still greater uncer- tainty of ber being ablo to render assistance if it was needed.

DENNING, THE HEAD STEWAKD—INTERESTING AND THRILLING INCIDENTS—LETTER FROM CAPT. DALL. From the Alte California, Jan. 20 By the brig George bora Ab od Dryden, which arrived Jan. 16, from Humbolat, Mr. J Denning, head steward of the ill-fated Northerner, came passenger. He was de- tamed by Capt. Dali at Humboldt, with the view of send tog bim down with despatches by the Vickery, but an accident prevented his coming in that vessel. “Mr. Dea- ning bas letters for many pereons in this city relative to the late disaster. We had a short interview with him on bis arrival, and though he was much pressed with the business confided to his care, be took time to angwer our inquiries ag to the main incidents of the wreck. We let dir. Denuing tell his own story :— RUNNING ON THE ROCK. It was about five o’clock ou Thursday, the 5th inet , that the dieaster occurred, The rock upon which the Nortn- erner struck was about midway between Blunt’s Reef and the main land, and perhaps two miles from the latver, It is aiways covered, and is not, as the Humooldt Pimer states, 2“ point no bigger than a man’s head,” bat rather ashelf. The weatber bad been fine all The water was smootb, and the ship was going along at a speed of porare twelve miles au hour. Capt.

I eaw the reet well oa the starboard beam. Then 1 rap alt to see if in gomg over the rock she had tora off any of her botiom, which might be floating in ner wae: but notbing to be seen, fhe impression was that she had not hurt herself mush.

The pump: were sounded by oroer of Captain Dall, when it was tound that the ship was Jeaking fast. Captain Dall then ordered me to inform the ladies in the cabin, most of whom were in their berths At the time, thet they ‘might have wo take to the boats, upd to leave their clothes on, ready for avy emergency, but not to alarmthem. at ths same time the ship's bead Was turned towards the shore, and ran for the land at full sfted. | went into tbe cabin and told the laaies that they had better dress.

They thea drcsted, and all went ito tbe Captain’s state room, on ‘the starboard side. Tthep went on deck, and Mr. French directed ms to take my men (#aiters, cooks, &c.,) aud get up a quantity of sbip bread from below, in cise we sboald have to take to the boats.

Gradually we neared the shore, towards the mouth of Bear river. It was growing dark rapidly. The weather bad suddenly changed, and it had commenced blowing frcm the southwest, with fino rain. We saw that we were rupning into a heavy surf. One of tho fires had gone out, and by this time the engineers and firemen had been driven from below vy the water. The paddle wheels, however, continued to make very alow revolutions. As we drew | Bear, we could only dizcern the dim outline of the shore, which seemed to be a rocky bluff, but the darkness ,pre- vented our seclog anythivg disttactly, and very soon the shore was entirely shut out from view.

By being made fast to the lire, death waa certain as it proved, for the rope bellied po into the water that there was no slipping & noose along it. The four Chinamen were washed fiom tho line, but reached the shore nearly dead. Mr. T. V. Smith, one of she passengers, is remarkably corpulent, heavy man. He did not take the line, but drifted ashore on a piece of the wreck, aud was not materially injured.

CLOSING SCENES—LAST OF THE NORTHERNER. Nearly all of the passengers had made nse of the life preservers, of which there was an abundanos on board. Capt. Dall sti) remained on board, trying to encourage others to take the chances of the rope. His cabin boy was saved with $500 in money. Every sea that broke upon the wreck threatened to knock her to pieces. At Jost, Capt. Dall, the purser (Mr. Breck), and Mr. Barry (Wells, Fargo & Co.’s measenger), determine? to try and save themselves. Mr, Breck was washed off the line, but Teached the shore greatly exhausted.

PASSENGERS LOST. The first thing that was dono was to lower a boat on the Jarboard stde—all the starboard boats having been & inboard and taken over to that side of the ship for purpose.

No at- tempt had been made yet to run a line tothe shore. The doat was got overboard safely, and four ladies, viz:—Mrs. Tew, Mis; Hi: » Mrs. Sweitzer, and Mrs. Thompson and child, with three children of Mrs. Tew—were placed safely on board.
