Later From California-The Fire. Our readers remembef, beyond doubt, that on the 4th of May, f Mnst year, Sin (t Francisco was visited with a fire,.which doe- bi *troyed the commercial portion of the gro.w- at ing city. This year, onthe same day, as or if to celebra e the terrible anniversary, for the'fifth time in two years th'ree-fourths of the business part of the city have been th a rtm reduced to ashes. P ren days after the fire from two hundred and fifty to three hundred houses were re- a built. The energy of the people of San ti Francisco did not appear to be at all do- pi pressed by this cruel blow. The Alta Cali- %t forrfia'calls on -the people to take courage ti *qd never despair. In truth, business o sedMedtio be scarcely suspended in conse- ti quence of the calamity. The merchants, w while awaiting the rebuilding of their stores pl attended the sale of their goods in other Il partprofftho city. ir *Pflcesof inerchandise, which were very a lowjbefore the fire, suddenly were quintu- ti pled, and rents rose in the same proportion. vi .-4I'he bouse of Burgoyne and Co. after the ti fire found $1,500,030 safe in their iron a: chest.. 'The employees in the custom house sav- if di all' the funds that it contained, amount- ii ing. to a million of dollars, by throwing n them into a well. a Among the buildings destroyed were the t4 Custorn House, Union Ilotel, Parker House, p Adelphi Theatre, the Dramatic Museum, a National Hotel, New World Hotel, City a Ilotel, Delmonico Hotel, Merchants' I-x. s change, the Rose Boilding, American lin tel, Revere Ilouse, the oilice of the Steam 'hip Company, &e. The fire at Stockton, takin the relative size of the !place into consit eration, was quite as disastrous as that of San Francisco. c it took lance on the 5th of May, and com fi menced in a large and magnificent new building known as the M\erchant's Hotel. I . It is supposed that it was the work of c soein malefactor, who wished to aid the a escope.of the criminals in the prison, which f adjoins the Merchant's Ilotel. The wind, g -however, carried the flames in a contrary L direction, so that the object of the incend- i rice was not achieved. All the bu-iness 'J houses on the Levee, except six, all 'Main a street, all Centre street, all the houses in ( El-Dorado street, except two, and nil the o buildings in Ilunter Street, except three, a Ibli a prey to the devouring element. 1: The list of suflerers by the dreadful fire c in San Francisco fills six colunis of the I Alta Califbrniari. and even in this is nt p: complete. Very few business houses e either in San Francisco or Stockton, escap- ( ed desitruction. $ . If had been said that the fire in San 1 Frantisco was caused by the negligence a of -the people in the paint shop; but the owners, Messrs. Baker and Messerve, i have published a card in which they de- f clare.that there was no light in their house f which could have originated the fire. It r was,- therefore, generally believed that this I fire was also caused by design. I At the time when the people were about c to lynch Stuart and Wddred, two months r ago, the Australian convicts, who infest t the city, had formed a plan to take revenge by burning San Franci co. They had a i ship ready in port to transport them and their plunder from the place, ater i otting' their plan in operation. Em tuna'ev, this dihbolical project came i-the knuw leuge of the police in time to frustriate it. It is also stated, tht AfAw' days before 1lpire ax-n %vn ~ i flTh~ o nt .ioy goods he wanted to preserve b'e hL. better send thetm out of the city, as on the night of the 3d of May t.here would be ac greit fire, to celebrate the anniversary of the conflagration of last year.--N. 0. True *Delta, 15th inst, *A LEAP FOR LIFE.--As tlhe supervisor of *inland revenue at Abcrydthwithi, Mr. J. Miller his nephew, and two profes.-,onal gentlemen, geologists, were last week examining some strata of rocks in the cliffs *betwveen Aberydtith and Llanrthiystd, they proceeded along a narrow ledge of projecting rock~ on the face of the cliii, about P29 feet above the level of the sea, wvhich provident ially happened to be at full tflow. In passing round a projecting ;angte, *which for ages has heetn frownecd upon! all below, the professor and revenue oflicer had rounded the point, and the young imn v as in the act of doing so when the rock suddenly breaking from under his feet, lie was whirled around with his face to the sqa, and as lhe descended lie seiz'ed n~ ih .on'e homd the ledge betneath his uncle's feet, wvhile he extended the other ha~nd to himia; and it wvas firmly clasped by the revenue officeir, who held imn aispended for fuil five *minutes, during wvhichi tie hie with gri -t difficulty mnaintained- his position, thecse be ing but six inches to stand upon. At length a breathuless paused, whilstr hir.

Whn a bravo spirit of resisfance to threatened oppression had succeeded in emancipating America from foreign coutrol and the "thirteen dependencles-upon 2Grcat Britain stood .,forth, free, independent and sovereign powers, they regarded each othpr with mutu'ai sympathy, admiration and love; they. had euidured the same priva tions and suiferings with the same exalted purpose,. together they had ' hoped even against hope, with the feeling of birave freemen that it were nore glorious, more to be desired, to perish in such a contest, th.n cravenly to live in vassal ease, the ecstacy of success % as thoimore thrilling to each that it was shared by the others, and with united hearts they entered upon the sarne bright future. Litiked to the other States by such endearing sympathies, why is it that the South now frowns upon the North, that love and an.ity have chang ed to dislike and hostility, that orators elicit plaudits from the people by declaim ing against the spirit and acts of the North? 18 it that South Carolina and her neigh boring sisters have discarded the principles of the Revoutuion, that some new ele. ment has entered into their being, some new interest has arisen, which has brib ed them to coilbine against the Consti tution, and to jift up traitorous hands against that Union which the warriors of '70 eftcted to perpetuate the freedom they had won !

This conention asserted in strong terms, the right of separate secession, and negated the authority of the general gorernment, by military force or:( otherwis, tQ restrain a Stateiin the exercise of such a sonereign right. The nomination of the Hon. 1W1l1 Cobb as the Union brhdidate for govdenor,- bingk the two par its in Georgia to the issue which, South, and North is. after all, the great question before the country, and oni winch the elections State and natwnal, t e to turn. That Georgia will irove her devotion to the Union, beyond all question or mistake,- by the election of Mr. Cobb, there can scarcely be a doubt." The Southern Press. We have the pleasure of announcing on good authority, (says the Press,) that the stbscription at the Southern Press is at length larger than that of any daily paper in the city. When we consider that this result has been achieved in a single year, without and against party and'govern. ment p.tronage, and from a. single section of the Union, nid that not the mos' populous, the event is the more remarkable. In the South we have more subscribm is than all. the other papers in the city to. gther. We think this victory over the party organs is adequate evidence of the preval ence in the South of the principles this paper has advocated, and of the intelligence of those who support the cause. Indeed, in looking over our subscription list, we are struck with the number of distin guished Southern names it comprehends. Nor can we omit an acknowledgment for the cordiality and emphasis with which our course has been and is endorsed. We received last evening, . a letter from. a gentleman who remnits text year's sub scription for himself, and two more for connections, and says that he intends to do so every year as longas he lives and the paper continues. Another writes that he approves of every 'vord it has contained. Another front Mississippi says thst> it comes so irregularly that he seldomn gets * ste ut. wvriniied tohave the-~6aince of getting it. We trust we ad .,- d. accuised of egotismn, in referring to these letters just received, on this occasion. For we tink we have indulged in that way much less than .customary. We- have multitudes of stuch letters to which we have never bef ore referred. W~Vct.
