Tnree were tried and faonora tffy acquitted. O.u.rs arestii ironed and held in caatodv for future examination There is no doubt hat ibi* terrible fire was the work of an inc*nd.ary. Tne time selected was a good one, just as peop e were going to enuren on Sunday morning, and ihe place was upon a hill, from which tbe fire must inevi ably i;a,e spread ’o the wnole city. Heaven protect the demon who is proved to nave beeu concerned :n ibis diabolical act Ir is impossible *’• present to give any t.'ing hie an accurate account of the araoun. of property Jesvjuyed or of tne losers. Pro bably abou five hundred house* and three mil iionsd .liars' wortn oi proper.y have been de stray ed. Tn ere was evidently an arranged plan to sei fire 10 and consume the city. Long before ma lire reached ia tbx* vicinity, a man wa* | (itj’covered attempting iu wet fir*i lo Pacific etreet wharf. He was arrested, and it w un derstood was handed over to the Vigilance Couimittea The portion of M irvin &, llrch cock’s bui’ding occupied by Louis Kilieir hs a cigar store win fired in the rear by some mis creant, who broke one of the panes of glass n the sash of tbe door leading to the yard, and se’ fire to the cuita n of the window; the mark of the match ignited for the purpose is vi ible on the door. More than ever we ere convinced by this that there is in this city an organ*zed band sworn to des roy it; every thing connected with this fire has certainly shown it. By this fire many people arc really burned out and left without a place to lay their heads. Many who had removed tl.eir goods to the P.hzi apd on the hills at the head of Kearny and Dupont streets remained with them through the night. Tha fire in various parts of ihe city continued blazing till a tale hour, lining the heavens with a lurid glare. Over the ten full squares that were burned, within the actual limits of the burned district, the only buildings left standing were too?© which were saved on the Plaza. Speaking ol the des’ruc ion of its own es* taohshment,tro Alta California says: After the fire reached Wa hington street, theCa’ fornia llt-raurin*., which adjoined the Alta California office, wa* blown up. but it did not stop the fl lines. The Jackson House and Lafayette Rertaurant and.buil:ings i;* the rear were all on fire at once, and the flames were at ihe same lune enfolding, the wooden build ing to'uierfy called the St. Charles, which stood between the Alta office and the fire proof Belta Union. Thus surrounded and enveloped m flames all our eftortsto beat beck he destroyer were vain. Wi h a pientifni supply.of water and a fire engine, is addition to two force pomps of out own, we were per fectly powerless. Yet a dozen men conten ded iong and manfully, risking their fives and doing all that men could do, but in vain. Then, and not till then, they left, when they could no longer breathe v'ithin the building, and rushed thr* ugh cinders, sheeted flame and dense rinoke to the P aza. Here most melancho'y sigh « met the view. A large por tion of ihe goods removed there for s.teiy were on fie andtfta.lv consumed. Among them was much of our own slot k g! stationery and material. But, more horrible than all, two or three corpses—one of a man who was moved on accou t of sickness, iu his bed, to the square, and there died while the firo was raging. The following are additional item- of inte rest concerning this calaurty: From he evidence collected yesterday, we are satisfied that the fire of Sunday was the deliberate work of an incendiary. Nor was t .is the ouly attempt of the kind made during the day We have heard of four diflere t places to which fire was applied while the fire was raging in the upper pari of the town, viz: Pacific street wharf; acigars'ore next to Mar vin Hitchcock’s, in Mongomer/ street; a house in Sicramen o street, and one in Kear ny street. The gang, it seems, were detailed on duly in diflereu'. parts of the city, so that the dssiruc im might be tola! and the ruin overwhelming. Had the a ten'pis in Mont gomery and Sacramento streets been success ful, all the eastern and sotrhern portion* of the cuy, which have fortunately escaped, would have been swept before iho flames be yond the possibility of re eruption, i hese meet diary attempts, aside from their fiendi-h mdignity, disp ay a degree of recklessne.-s, considering the excited state of the public mind and ihe consequent risk if delected, that ia pos : lively astonishing. The halter would be almost too imld a punidiment for him who should bo unmistakeably detected in such an act. The crime of arson in inis city is mote heinous than even murder; f>r, besides tho immense destruction of property, and the suffering to thousands arising therefrom, it presuppose. , and thus fur his tavariablv been accompanied with great loss of life But un fortuna'.eiy it is a crime which is very difficult to detect. Dr. Dalyah, a French physician, residing on Pacific treat, nearly opposite the Polka, dis covered bi< premises on fire rrthe rear, long before th'? fire had reached t from the adjoin ing buildings, when he was shot in the heel with n pistol ball, probably by ihe incendiary A Mexican was discovered carrying off a bale oi good* from Washington street, when he was seized by tho owner and ordered to lay down the goods. Thia he refused to do, when a number of persons around threw him down and literally stamped him to desth.

A boat had been capsized on the Chagres river, by which acccidenl two passengers and two boatmen w.iedrown&d. The names of the first two were Mcßride and Gardiner They were both from New Orleans, and had a largo num of mono / in their belts. Tne Chagros river had been very high in deed; but has fallen. The Btar learns from Mr. Corwine, U. S. Consul fur that port, that he is in receipt of dispatches’from his colleague at Payta, by which he is informed that T jmbez, in Peru, i* not a port of entry, and that all vessels, except ing whalers, arriving there from foreign ports, and pretending to unload, or ouly take on board products of the country, are, by the laws of Peru, subject to condemnation and confiscation. Recently the American brig Annah, Capt. John Erskin, Jr., has been detained at that port for a breach of revenue laws of tne country, se zed and her master taken to Payta, with a view to the imp si'.ian of a fine upon him of $1 900. notwithstanding his vessel anchored there in distress—her crew being down with the scurvy. Later from (‘hili.—The following items of news from Chili we take from the Panama Star: The political news Irom Chili is pacific and encouraging. On the Ist June the National Congress met, and President Bulnes delivered h’s mesjaae, which is a very pUm and cooipftr hensive document, representing the affairs of iho 'jation in the moot prosperous condition. The iron gas sod water pipes are be : ng laid throughout the ci(y of Valparaiso, 'i he ma chir ery for the manufacture of gas has not ar rive!. Tne American ship Switzerland, from New York, has arrived with locomotives for the Co piapo RulroaJ. These iron horses wiil very s/on commence their powciful marching over desert plains of the northern mining region. It is proposed now lo extend the line from Copiapo to Chanarcillo, where some of the richest mines ore situated. The Neighbor says : “ Success to the first at tempt lo employ the greatest invention of the age in the development of the resources of the country.” On Surday night, the 22J June, about 11 o’clock, a contest occurred in the bay, between the guard boat and the master, Cape. Dadle, and crew of the British ship Duke. Firearms were used Tne guard boat s night assistance trom the armed national vessels ; and in the end the Duke was taken possession <4 by the authorities of ti e port. Various versions of the matter are in circulation. A violation of custom-house laws is charged on one hand and denied totally on the other. The captain of the Duke was shot through the body, and shortly after died. There had been a very severe storm at Valpa raiso and neighboring ports. Tne mercantile Reporter says: During the late storm a vessel was seen cap s'zed on the south coast, which is supposed to be the Elizi, from New York bound for California. Tne American bark Alpha, bound for California, has put back lu the port in a leaky condition. •Several bor t? have been upset near San Carols and a number of men lost their Jives. Fuom Oregon.—The papers are filled with ac counts of the war between the whites and In dians on the Rogue River. The immediate cause which led to the outbreak was the at tack by the Indians upon a parly of Oregon mi ners who were returning home, and were at tacked near th? crossing of Rogue’s River, on the Ist of June. The party of whites number ed twenty six men, and the Indians from two hundred to three hundred. The whiles retreated without sustaining any injury. The next day a par y of four persons were attacked, and their mules ard baggage taken away. On the next day Dr. Mcßride’s comp iny of thirty-two men an i seventeen boys were attacked. The en gagement lasted several hours, some five or six Ind ans being killed, and none of the whi'es be ing injured except one, Mr. Barlow, of Oregon city, who was severely wounded in the thigh by a i arrow’. Gen. Line and Gov. Gaines have both gone to the s-cne of disturbances, in hopes of settling the difficulty amicably, but it was supposed that their efforts u’ould be unsuccessful. The Indi >ns have declared eternal warfare against the whites, and nothing short of an extermina ting war will pitta stop to their outrages. A short time since the San Francisco papers published a full account of the discovery of a new biv on the coast, in Southern Oregon, and the location oi a town name 1 Pori Oxford. From the following we fear that the worst fate his be fallen the pioneers who were left th re : It is the general supposition th . Messrs. J. Kirkpatrick. S. T. Slater, Jam* 3 ii. Hussey, Cyrus Kidder, R. H. Broadcss, T J. McKirou, T. W. K dwert, P. D. Palmer and Mr. Summer, who were landed at Port Oxford some few weeks since oy the steamer Sea Gull, have either been massacred, or taken prisoners by the Indians. It appears, from memoranda found, that on the morningot June 10th they were awakened by the guard, al an early hour, with the Intelligence that ihe Indians were coll cling in considerable numbers on the beach, and the indications of trouble were unmistakeable. Some two or three of the chiefs came forward, and the leaders of the pioneers went out and met them, and held a short parley. They gave the chiefs some few presents to keep peace, but the treacherousness of their charac'cr so predominant in the Indian, soon develop d itself, and a fire was kindled on the beach, within rifl? shot of the encamp ment, where a council of war, and a dance preparatory to an engagement, was held. During their deliberations, some would b? holding coun cil, some dancing, wh le others would be snap ping the strings of their bows, and throwing themselves into all kinds, oi fantasric shapes, frantic with rage,and seemed determined to be avenged. The pioneers were stationed upon a high pro montory, extending out into the sea, acceszihle only from one point, and this was strongly forti fied by the erection of a breast work, with a four pounder placed so as to sweep the entire course leading to the top of the promontory. The In dians after concluding their ceremonies, ad v need to the bottom of the hill and commenced the attack. From this point they approached the breastwork of the men, one of the Indians b- ing in advance of the main body, and went so far as to clasp one of tne guns of the company. At this critical moment, the four puunder, loaded with slugs, was discharged, end the fijut then commenced in good earnest and without reserve, either to chof or private. The engagement con tinued fittecen or twenty minutes, in which tome twelve or fourteen Indians were kitted, and diub.elhat number wounded. Tney men re treated an eieva'.ed position, some two hun dred yards distant, when they again resumed ih? attack, with a loss of six more of their mtn. It appears that the Indians continued to harrass the pioneers during the whose day, with but ittle success, having wounded but four of the men, and those very slightly. About sun down the Indians disappeared, and nothing was seen oi them up to the la est date contained in the memorandum which was cf June2om. From some reason, however, they anicipated another attack, and under date of the 18lh, the men w ere all wed and able to do duty. I: seems by the language of the writer, that tney dreaded not the attack of the Indians; but on the contrary, desired a second engagement. They frequently ventured out seve.-al aides from the camp in companies of three and four, and re'urned with out moles: ation. They speak in glorious terms of trcsoil and us locality, and the great variety of timber in the vicinity.

Phom Chisa.—By the last arrival from Hong IConrr the Alta California has received copies of the China Mail of ihe 9ih of April. The papers however, do not contain much news of interest. The Mall states tha’ on the night of the 31st of March two large piratical boats ranged along side of the American ship Merlin, Capt. Walsh, which was anchored off Lnntdo. The pilot gave the alarm, and the crew mustering strongly sue ceeded in repulsing the scoundrels. One of them, who was in the act of casting a stick-pot on board, was shot dead. His Excellency the Governor had left Hong Kong for Canton. The p irtles who were implicated in the charge of ecmfe terating to take the steamer Hong Kung, and murder all the Europeans who were on board, had b» en examined an J remanded for trial. The evidence against them was quite strong. The paper from which we have already quoted states that, on the night of the 18th of February, Capt. Obcd Luce and five of the crew of ihe wha e ship Boy, of Warren, R. 1.. were murdered at one of the Caroline Group of islands, 120 miles west of Ascension Island The ship had touched for the purpose ol procuring tortoise shell. The news was convey ed to Victoria by Mr. Thomas Merry, of the ship Oneco, which touched 0:1 the 15th of March, on her way from Sydney to Manilla. From the Sandwich Islands.—By au arri val from Honolulu, tie Alta California has re ceived intelligence from Honolulu aS late a* the 31st of May, and Lahaina to the Sth ol June. The Polynesian states that a coasting schoon er, owno 1 by W. H.

Adjournment of the Virginia Conven TiCN —The Convention of Virginia! which has been sitting at Richmond during the la?! eight months, have at length agreed upon ihe form ot a new Constitution for tfant State, brought its session to a close The Constitu tion has yet to be submitted to a vote of the People, tut of its acceptance by them, no doubt appears to be entertained.

Public Sentiment of the North. The Editor of the Richmond HTiig, who has been malting a tour of New England, with a view to ascertain, from personal obsecration and contact with all classes of people in the cities, towns, villages and rural districts, what was the state of public sentiment, on the compromise measures, and especially of the Fugitive Slave Law, has after a careful reconn Usance of the conntty, addressed a letter to that journal from which we cull the following cheering extract .- Lewistos, Maine, July 25. ♦ ♦ » • ♦ • “ My object, In short, was, to ascertain what is the real st ite of Sewardism in New York, of Free-Soilism throughout New England, and, in an inferior degree, the prospects of Gov. Johnston’s success, under that ambiguous reia* ti jn to the Compromise, which ho has taken in Pennsylvania. All these involve the great ques tion ■whether the North intends, or does not in tend, to stand by the Compromise, and es pecially the Fugitive Slave bill. Upon the so lution of that question will, 1 think, depend, in a good degree, the issue of our coming elections in Virginia If we can assure ourselves and sat isfy the people that the North genera iy and Massachusetts in particular, have now made up their minds to abide faithfully by the Compro mise and to enforce the Fugitive blave law, I take it that the Old Dominion, ever loyal and true to thedlnion, will sustain at the polls the party of quiet, of conservatism, of the Compro mise and the Union. 1 cannot conceive that jurpcople wi'l ask more than the certainty of this loyal and brotherly conduct of the North. 1 was persuaded that, upon a personal and thorough examination into the facts, 1 snould be able to give that assurance. 1 have sought it, therefore —as already intimated —not al second hand. but at tlto very sources of information ; nave explored opinions ra'her through and amidst the village and coumry populations, where men’s ideas are most their own and genuine, than in the gnat towns, where they are imita tive, sudden, and of derivation from cliques and party and tumultuary influences. The result is, that I shall be able to speak ol the condition of the public mind in New England not as of a thing believed upon high testimony, but directly and positively known, through faithful exami nation by myself. I shall be able, therefore, to speak, as I love to speak to our readers, with a sttong confidence, a perfect assurance that 1 am right ; and with that confidence, I now pledge myself to Virginia and the South generally, that not merely is New England, as 1 was told, coming right upon the Compromise, but h s al ready come right. There is not only a revolu tion ot her public mind on foot, as to that sub ject, but a revolution already etiecied; still in pro gross, but needing no further advancement to make ii either effectual or secure. •* I have traversed all Yankeeland in several directions. This, its most primitive State, I have, halting in many of the smaller towns, inspected, from Portland up to the borders of Canada. I have lingered.at certain points, somewhat in proportion as 1 found the popula tion fit, by its rural and unsophisticated charac ter, to give me a true image of tile unadulterated, sober, un 1 aught, inanifical opinion of the real people. 1 have talked with high and low, friend and foe, conservatives and free-soilers, whig and democrat, politicians and those who are none, the laity and many parsons, the farmers, the ariisans, the merchants, the manufacturers. I spent three days in the wilds which surround Moose-head Lake, among its lumber men and hunters, the children of the forest and the fron tier. Returning thence, I made my way up to the great peaks of the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Mount Washington and its subordinates, and there met, at the celebration of the opening of the Atlantic and St. Law rence Railroad up to that point, a large body of seople, from Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Mas achussetts—an ample representation of the most stirring and practical men in all nor thern New England. With these—a company of full three hundred—l partook, by invitation, of a great dinner at Gorham. We temained at table some four hours, listening to along se ries of speeches and songs. Among the guest, were several governors and ex-governors of States, a Senator and an ex-Senator of the United Slates, three or lour members of the lower house of Congress, various learned di vines and professors of Colleges, some half dozen editors, many Railroad directors, lawyers, merchants, farmers, and, in short, such a collec tion of all sorts as must have embodied the general spirit of the surrounding region, its sense and ite nonsense, its knowledge and its ignormce. The speeches, of course, were ap propriately of little but the business in hand Railroads : but in the conversation, a good deal of politics was indulged I heard not a disloy al sentiment expressed, nor any feeling uttered but of a fair and friendly sort towards the South and its institutions. Free-Soi ers there were present, I know; but, as prooably not one in twenty, and awaro that their opinions enjoyed a decided isck of sympathy, they kept silent —all except my undaunted friend, John P. Hale of Ne , Hampshire. He, being brought to his legs by a complimentary toast, made one of his jolly, rollocking speeches, at ..nee shrewd and funny, in the course of which he referred to the Union, the danger in which every body said it had stood, and his own efforts to preserve it. Ol his anxieties and endeavours on that score, he made, you may be sure, something quite droll. I t liis conclusion, however, he adverted, with great good feelings, to a visit which .he last winter paid to Old Virginia; told a pleasent sto ry of his good-natured reception there-; and then, with many high compliments to the State, offered her health and thatof a son of hers pres ent at the table. 1 have seldom seen the name of Virginia greeted by a more genetal or more cordial applause than ensued It was such, I assure you, as, at the hearty, warm, fraternal feeling which it conveyed, niade my heart leap. No mart could have stood mute under such hon ors paid to the land of his affections : the Vir ginian toasted by name replied as well as he was able What he said, I hardly remember, beyond anironical compliment or'two to Mr. da e, about his marvellous oliorts in behalf of the Union and its preservation. These were followed by a brief encomium on the Compromise; which was re ceived with very hearty plaudits. The speech ended with a sen.iment to “ All the Compro mises : the first great one among discordant in terests and opinions which, in 1776, by an unanimous Declaration, give us our Indepen dence the second which, in 1737, by the adop tion of the present Constitution, bestowed upon us a government and made us a people; the third which, in 1820, healed a sectional strife and renewed our Union ; and the fourth, which in 1850, composed forever, if faithfully observ ed, the only dissension that can ever part us ” “ The toast was cheered to the very skies, ap parently by all present; and Its reception may stand a sufficient token of the present feelings of the North. But 1 must pause.” Destructive Tornado. The following account of a tornado which passed over par's of Maryland and Pennsyl vania, on Saturday night the 2(>th July last, surpasses any thing of the kind we have ever read. The Cumberland (Aid ) Civi'ian says: Its rz'mires in the neighborhood of Selbys port and Accident were must terrible. Thou -ands of trees were blown down, stopping up the roads and producing a wilderness of con lu-ion difficult to conceive Houses were un roofed, barns and stables overthrown,and fields of grain destroyed. At Selbysport, a child was killed by the falling of a r.nf, aid in the same vicinity a woman was carried oft' her feet and torn to pieces by the hurricane. The storm seems to f are leaped over large tracts of countr > and fallen on secluded places. Thus thehouse, barn and stable ot Mr Koontz, lour miles S -nth of Foe burg, were unroofed, snd eucti was the furv of the tempest that one of the beams of the stable, «o large as to re q lire eight men to lift it, was carried a distance of nearly two miler. A correspondent of the Civilian, writing from Grantsville, says:— "The damage done to all kinds of property is very considerable, and will ba severely felt. The loss of properly i< no the only loss, fcr several lives were sacrificed by'he distressing ciiarnity. Two littlo inftnis, whilst in a pro f mid sleep, I ad the r brainsstnislied out by the falling stones cf a chimney, which together with tl e house, was pros trued to the g-ound. '*T hestorm lasted but an instant a single blast and was over. It seemed io have invaria bly railed i n belts, a few hundred yards wide. Some idea can be had of i s violence when I stare that potatoes were torn out of the hard ground.” The Uniontownfl’a.)

The family occupied a large log building, with an immense old fashioned Slone ctitniney in the Western gtblo. The first blast of the storm brought down the chimney and crushed Mrs Wotsall und r it.
