Soon the On Saturday last, the Advertiser was ornamented with half a column of interrogatories from some pedantic quidnunc of the name of "Quiz" This Quiz, though a biped, must be of the herbivorous genus, a kind of lowing mooly" in breeches, anxious and starving for a cud of grass from the City Park. His first articulated cry is "fodder, fodder 1" and all "the little gamboling Quiz's," echo "fodder in chorus. "My kingdom for a horse was once uttered in great tribulation. Our city for a plenty of fodder is heard in famished moanings from the gutters and housetops of every hungry "Quiz" in Brooklyn.

Well, there is some reasonable excuse for the doleful complaints of this numerous Quiz family. They have fed and fattened on public "fodder" for four years past and now to be excluded from such comfortable gratuities, and compelled to live honestly, is rather trying to the constitution. But they will soon learn to adapt their condition to their circumstances, when it is hoped they will feel a little more comfortable. If not, there are docks, full of sea water, near by, where they can end their complaints and their troubles. Quiz" asks the question, "Whether at the pre.

The recent violent attack of Edwin Forrest upon Nathaniel P. Willis, has been widely commented upon by the pres9, and generally to the unmeasured condemnation of the assailant.

With due deference to the opinions of our cotemporaries, we submit that the two sides to a question should be examined before rendering a verdict upon its mer its. We do not intend to venture in search of a for the course pursued by Mr. Forrest in this matter. We simply contend that he had provocat ion sufficient to arouse the fierce passions of human nature, and that in bis assault, he has not acted out the mere brutal impulse of the ruffian. In the unfortunate domestic difficulties in which Mr.

Forrest recently became involved, Mr. Willis stepped forward as a volunteer assailant of Mr. Forrest. The public particularly an American public are ever ready to side with the lady in controversies of this sort, to interpret every thing leniently to her, and to believe all that may be alleged against the husband. Injustice frequently arises from this proneness on the part of the public and of a kind, too, to wound deeply and irremediably.

Domestic difficulties are of a nature to give great latitude to the tongue of scandal, and to the surmises of gossip, and the facts of the case are rarely arrived at. Numberless are the annoyances to which a husband is, under the caprices of his wife, provided she has a mind of her own" subjected. And many of these are of a kind to excite the ridicule of the community, if made public, rather than its sympathy. But we fear we are trenching upon dangerous ground, and feel a sort of indistinct dread tha.t we shall incur the vengeance of all that wear petticoats, for remotely venturing to suggest that a brute of a husband" should ever have a hearing when at variance with his "deeply injured" better half. Willis kept up a regular attack upon Forrest, in the Home Journal, a paper of very general circulation throughout the country.

In these articles the husband was ridiculed and abused, and the wife elaborately defended. Thus goaded, the impulsive tragedian watched his opportunity and meted out to the poet a few yards of Gutta Percha. Those who condemn Mr. Forrest for the course he has pursued, in revenge for being held up to scorn and ridicule in a widely circulated journal, lay great stress upon the difference in physical strength between the assailant and the assailed. These one sided sympathizers forget that in the public controversy which preceded the assault, and doubtless provoked it, the editor held every possible advantage against the man he was daily deriding.

Willis is a skilful, practised writer, and hi3 nice poetical scntibililies" cared to know nothing save that there was a lady in the and forthwith he chivalrously laid lance in rest for the rescue. It was a warfare in which cracked crowus could not fail to enter into the calculations of possible casualties. If Knight Willis came out of the melee with striped back and torn trowsers, he can have the satisfaction of reflecting that his personal discomfiture was the fruit of that reckless chivalry" of feeliDg which led Fitz James to declare that If a path be dangerous, know That danger's self is lure alone." Arrival of tlie Crescent City. FOURTEEN DAYS LATER FROM CALIFORNIA. By the U.

S. Mail Steamer, Crescent City.Capt. Stoddard, of Howard Son's line, which arrived off Sandy Hook, at half past 12 o'clock, from we have San Francisco papers to May 15th. The Crescent City brings one hundred and fifty six passengers, and $250,000 in geld. The steamer Isthmus arrived at Panama on the 10th, having left San Francisco on May 15.

She brought down the mails, 6300,000 gold dust on freight, and 134 passengers. At Chagres, constant heavy rains, with thunder and lightning. The river high and very rapid. The health of Chagres and Panama said to be good. A most destructive fire bad occurred at San Francisco on the morning of the 4th of May, reducing full one third of the city to ashes, believed to be the work of an incendiary 5,000 reward offered, and loss estimated at 500,000.

From the Alia California, of May 14. The Bukned District. Intimately as we are acquainted with the predominant spirit of energy and enterprise of our city, we have almost wondered at the rapidity with which the burned district is being again buUt up. It exceeds the speed with which the work was accomplished after the December fire. Already, in Portsmouth Square, the Bella Union, and St.

Charles, are opened, and' hourly thronged. In Washington street, two dry goods stores, La Amarilla," and Juan Cima's, are opened and stocked, and on both sides of the way buildings are nearly completed and will be ready for occupation by the latter end of this week. In fact, the ruins are more than half covered over, and except that the new edifices are not of so elegant a character or so substantially built, even as previously, they will present a handsome appearance. San Joaqcin and Places Intelligence. We make the following extracts from the Stockton j.vmes oifllay ln: Columbia City.

This is the name which has been given to a new city, situated about five miles above the town of Sonora, and already contains a population of 5,000 persons. Extraordinary Discovery. Mr. Peter Mahan, of Sonora, informs us that the placer at Columbia City is.not less thaD three miles square! On Fri day last, a Mexicau found a lump of gold lying near the surface, weighing four pounds seven ouces, and he, Mr. Mahan, also has in his possession a lump weighing seventeen ounces, found neat the same spot.

The placer has been discovered to be of extraordinary depth. One large hole has been to the depth of sixty two feet throngh red soil of a volcanic nature, and the quartz has not yet been reached. Throughout the whole depth, from six feet below the surface, gold has be. taken out. It is supposed that the whole area of this immense placer is of the Bame charac ter.

From many holes miners have been takiDg out from four to five pounds of gold per day. Mexican Emigration. The Times is informed by Mr. Smith of Cuyote Creek, who has just arrived from Sonora, Mexico, that the account of the number of Mexicans has not been exaggerated. He passed many thousands on the road, and estimates their train of mules as fully 10,000.

The Apache Indians are represented as Tery troublesome to the emigration. Sflf Devotio The Cleveland Herald, in the of the burning of tfcs steamer Griffith, on Luke Erie, says that Richard Mann, of Sandusky, second wheelsman, stood at the wheel until the pilot house was enveloped in flames, and was then so badly burned as to be unable to save himself. Such noble self devotion is rare, and the man capable of it, is a hero. CAKl'JEXS OJUL Cil.orus. WILLIAM McGROBTV.

je19 tf IIVGS, RINGS, RINGS Rings of all kinds and prl ces con bo found at J. D. Chase's: and remember several of the ringleaders. IPragical affair in Vermont. Two notorious counterfeiters, known as Bristol Bill and Christian Meadows, have just been convicted and sentenced at Danville, Vermont, on a charge of extensive counterfeiting.

A correspon dent of the New York Herald furnishes the following account of a bloody tragedy, with which the proceedings closed The closing scene of Bristol Bill and Christian Meadows' trial is tragical and melancholy mel ancholy, not perhaps to them, but to the entire community. Yesterday, Mr. Farrar submitted a motion to the Court, on arrest of judgment, based upon some alleged errors in the indictment. His Honor de ferred giving bis opinion till this morning, when he came into the court room and overruled the motion, and asked the prisoners if they had any reason why sentence should not be pronounced against them. Bristol Bill rose, and after making several indignant remarks, told the court he asked no mercy at his hands Meadows seemed somewhat penitent, and begged mitigation.

Hie court tneu sentenced them to ten years each, at bard labor, iu the State Prison, at Wind sor. Bliss N. Davis, State Attorney, immedi ately stepped round on the outside of the bar, stooped over, and began to whisper something to Meadows, whereupon Bui rose from h's seat, went round to the side o)' Davis, and suddenly stabbed him in the neck. Davis fell, and exclaimed, The rascal has killed me." He was taken up and car ried to his lodgings, where he continues in a most dangerous and critical situation. He bled most profusely, and since carried to his room remains perfectly speechless, and it is feared by his sur Keons and physicians that the wound will prove fatal.

Bill stabbed him with a case knife, the blade of which is some eight inches in length, and without a handle. He made only one sudden thrust, and left the knife sticking in the neck, where it remained till some one seized it and pulled it out. Much fear and excitement prevailed in the court room; and though Bill was fettered he took con trol of the house for some minutes. The Judge commanded the officers to arrest him but so completely terror stricken were all present that no one dared approach him. Bill stationed himself in one corner of the room, and swore he would kill the first man who should approach him but at last his counsel, Mr.

Farrar, went up to him, spoke a few words, when without further resistance, he yielded himself to the hands of an officer, and was immediately handcuffed and put in close confinement. Bill seemed frantic with rage, said he in intended to kill Davis on the spot, and is most sorry he did not." Where he obtained the knife no one knows, but it is generally supposed some one furnished him with it for what purpose that individual best knows. It is a most desperate and lamentable occurrence, and we trust that in the end strict justice will be meted out, and Bill receive his just reward. Another Bloody Affray. Col.

Dupree was killed at Brownsville, Miss. on 8th inst, under the following circumstances. It furnishes another chapter in the bloody history of Southern feuds. Col. Dupree and his son in law, Mr.

Graves, have for some time past had a difference. On Saturday, the 8th instant, they met at a church near Brownsville, Hinds county. Graves left the church, but was soon followed by Dupree, who approached and asked him if he was armed. Graves, hoping to prevent any difficulty, aid that he was not. Dupree then pulled Graves from his horse, and cut him several times with a knife, when Graves pulled a pistol from his pocket and shot the Colonel through the body.

Col. Dupree mounted his horse, and rode several miles towards home, but died about two hours after having received the wound Sporting Intelligence. A match for $1,000, mile heats, best three in five, in harness, will take place at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The nags are Cambridge Girl and Fanny, both favorites, and well matched though the chesnut Fauny seems to have "the call" in there diggings. We see that Bryant, of this city, will open the season at Saratoga on the 4th of July, as proprietor of the course at that place.

He announces two purses for the opening, one of $250, free to all except Suffolk and Moscow and a second of S50 for horses that never won a purse of more than that sum. He says that Lady Suffolk will be at the Springs by the 15th of July, ready to match any four footed critter whose gait is a trot. Meantime, the veteran gray is to give the Baltimoreans a demonstration of her manner of doing things. The Philadelphians have enjoyed her society during the past week. New Route to California The route to California through Nicaragua, it is said, will be in operation some two inoDths hence.

The steamships Crescent City and Empire City are to run between New York and Sau Juan. The river San Juan and lake ol Nicaragua will be navigated by steamboats of light draught to the town of Nicaragua, distant 14 miles from the Pacific, which distance will be travelled on land by means of carriages. By the time these arrangements are com pleted, the steamships New Orleans and Sarah Stands will connect with the Crescent City and Empire City on the Pacific, and run regularly on that ocean to S'an Francisoo thus making the line of communication complete between New York and California by that route. Four additional steamboats are intended to be placed on the Pacific side. This route, from the Atlantic sea board to the Pacific aDd California, will be about one thousand miles shorter than that of the Isthmus of Panama.

steamboats Pioneer and Ivanhoe went up and towed her down to the foot of 18th Btreet, when Engine No. 24 commenced playing on the boat; Engine No. 1 soon came up and both were now taken on board of the Ivanhoe to facilitate their operations. The flames were soon extinguished. The fire being in the centre of the boat, some of the passengers crowded forward and some aft, but as the flames advanced towards the after part many were forced to jump overboard and were picked up by email boats.

Mr. De Le Ree, the proprietor of the steamboat house, foot of 19th street, sent out fifteen small boats which rendered much assistance. But one person is known to have been lost a daughter of Capt. Lawson, of sloop Sally Maria, jumped overboard after her nurse, but was drowned: the nurse was picked up by a small boat. The Captain and hands stayed on board and rendered every help until the last moment possible, supplying the passengers with stools, itc, to float on.

They lost nearly all they had on board. The boat and freight 19 a total loss, estimated at 315,000, if not insured. The cause of the fire is not known. The following is ali the additional foreign news, brought by the Cambria, of 'sufficient interest to be transferred to our columns France. The Electoral law was passed on the 31st of May, by 432 to 241.

The President promulgated the bill, as the law of France, on Monday. Tbe preparations of government in anticipation of a revolt, appear to have been the opposition seemed disposed to let tbe wnole af fair pass over quietly, at )easfor the present. The Socialist Journals deal with the Government contemptuously, ironically, congratulatorily, on a triumph utterly ineffectual. On tbe other side, the journals are urging the President to proceed with vigor in the work of coercion. Paris is filled with an unusual number of foreigners, and the shopkeepers are said to be reaping a goldeD harvest.

A bill has been laid before the Assembly, by the Finance Minister, for increasing the President's salary, from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 francs. All accounts agree in representing Louis Napoleon as suffering from pecuniary embarrassments. Emile Girardin has been acquitted on the charge of distributing public documents, without the name of the printer. A committee of tbe Assembly has under consideration, the memorial for removing the seat of government from Paris. That capricious functionary, the Clerk of the Weather," played us a trick yesterday, which we intend to reciprocate the first opportunity.

Wending our w.ij with some friends to "green fields and pleasant places," our course was suddenly arrested by a pluvious flood that might have started old Noah from bis retirement, in anticipation being called on to preside over a second deluge. Our vision of rural delights was wrapped as with a wet blanket. Our suburban excursion was spoiled, and, almost, our Panama. The cry of each man was sauve qui peut. Fortunately, an awning at some distance served as a rallying point for our scattered party, and a shelter, such as it was, from the storm.

Here, was afforded us such a chance for a display of resignation in adversity, as we make no doubt would have tested the proverbial philosophy" of Mart in Tupper himself. Rochefaucault, we believe it is, asserts that the misfortunes of a man are, under certain circumstances, very gratifying to his fellows. As the open wagons, whose pleasure seeking occupants looked anything but comfortable, in their exposure to thapeltiug of the pitiless rain, whirled past us.it was consoling to reflect that our condition might have been worse. The individuals who rode in sulkies, especially, came in considerably sulkier, we venture to say, than when they went out. But the most piteous spectacle we were compelled to witness, was the metamorphoses by which female dry goods became converted, despite of every shift, into wet.

Our own sufferings we could stand, but this sight was a notch beyond our endurance. Our party, therefore, at once resolved itself into an indignation meeting" Count D'Orsay of New York, on the rail, and ouraelf acting as secretary. After an eloquent preamble, in which tho pursuit of happiness" was insisted on, as the inalienable light of each individual living under our glorious constitution, it was resolved that the shabby conduct of the old fogy above named, was an unjustifiable in terference with this privilege; and further that here a burst of sunshine had such an effect upon our meeting that it broke up incontinently, and we adjourned round the corner;" rejoicing that by our exertions the country had once again been saved. Commerce of Montreal The number of arrivals at Montreal during the present year, up to the 14th is 390 number of tons 166,916.

Case ok Hydrophobia. 14 years of age, daughter of Francis Fowler, residing in Green street, below Thirteenth street, was seized with symptoms of hydrophobia, on Thursday morning, which continued their exhibitions down to yesterday afternoon. It is stated that this unfortunate girl was bitten by a cat, in March last, that exhibited symptoms of being rabid. The wound was inflicted upon her arm while in the act of driving the animal from the house. Philadelphia A.

Saturday. that Mayor Smith is a wealthy man, and there fore, ignorant while ex Mayor Stryker was a poor man, consequently he must be a "gentleman and a scholar." Let Quiz learn this Tiiat iguorance is not the the greatest frailty existing. Error is greater, and when a Mayor or ex Mayor, "gentleman and a scholar" though he may be, accepts from an accommodating Board of Aldermen, five hundred dollars of public money to distribute among poor people just before an election, and when himself is a candidate for office, he may possibly, in the eyes of many who are not of the Quiz family commit an error, to which honest ignorance is preferable. But is Mayor Smith an ignorant man He cannot, perhaps, murder the French language so bunglingly as "Quiz." May be he is not so bright a scholar as Mr. Stryker.

But it cannot be denied or doubted that he is a man of good sound common sense of discriminating understanding of great practical experience and knowledge of our city affairs. Safe, trustworthy and honest. But "he has a pocket full of riches," and lives in a big house, and buys his china where he pleases, and "keeps a cow." Hence the whole pack of querulous quidnuncs and Quizes pounce upon him daily, like so many prairie wolves. G. The Glorious Fourth.

The citizens of Oyster Bay and vicinity, are to have a grand "time" of it on the 4th July, in which they will be aided and abetted by sundry military and benevolent organizations from our "City of Churches." In the programme of the celebration, we see it recorded that the procession will be led by the First corrfpany of Washington Life Guards of Brooklyn, commanded by that worthy gentleman and accomplished soldier, Captain Burnett. The body of the cortege will be composed mainly of Odd Fellows and Sons of Temperance, among the former being named Howard, Magnolia, Perseverance, Granada, and Montauk Lodges from Brooklyn and New York. Two orations will be delivered one by Judge Nye, of Madison county, and tbe second by R. C. Underhill, of this city.

A grand banquet is to follow, at Moore's Hotel and the day will close with an exhibiton of Edge's best fireworks. The attractions of that part of Long Island are of the highest order, and cannot fail to draw thousands of visitors over the railroad on the occasion of tbe National anniversary. We shall attend to the complaint of the Brooklyn Slar to morrow. Absence from the city is our apology for the delay. The Mississippi.

The great crevasse at Point Coupee, brings disaster upon the richest and most populous regions of the State. Hundreds of plantations must be overflowed, houses will be carried away, stock destroyed, crops ruined. It is impos sible to estimate the loss, present and prospective which this inundation threatens. It will in all likelihood cover up a region of fertile country as large as some whole States in the Union, and drive from their homes a vast number of our most industrious and most valued citizens. All this follows from a break in the levee of the Mississippi, not wider than the space between Canal and Common streets, through which the floods are pouring with frightful and irresistible violence.
