All Gone.—There is a singular and lamentable history connected with the bark Abby Baker, of Yarmouth, Me., now lying at our levee. She was commanded by Capt. Timothy Pratt. His wife and family were also on board with him. Capt. Pratt died a short time before the arrival of the bark at San Francisco. Augustus Pratt, his son, who had been acting as mate, then took charge and brought the bark into the Bay, and up to Sacramento. On the 30th of last month he became one of the unfortunate victims of the cholera. One hour afterwards his brother Enos died. On the 1st instant his brother William died of the same disease. On the 3d a Dutch boy belonging to the ship died. And on the 5th Mrs. Jane Pratt, the wife of Capt. Timothy Pratt died, leaving a little boy nine years of age, who has been kindly taken charge of, and will be sent to the States by the earliest conveyance. Others were taken sick on board the bark, and sent to the hospital, until the vessel was entirely deserted. The finale of the matter is, that she has fallen into the hands of the Public Administrator.
