Our advices from San Francisco, California, ex-
tend to the 18th of June. The papers relate the par-
ticulars of a " difficulty" which occurred at Sacra-
mento on the 16th, between Judge Wilson and
' two men named Caulfield and MiKune. It appears
that M'Kune struck Judge Wilson with a bludgeon,
whereupon the Judge drew a sword from a cane and
ran his assailant through the body. Deputy Sheriff
J. M`Donald then came up to separate the parties,
when Caulfield drew a pistol and aimed at Judge
Wilson. M'Donald, however, interposed his body,
and received the shot, which entered his left side and
passed out at the right. ll'Kune, although at first
supposed to be mortally wounded, would, it was
thought, recover. Fears were entertained that M‘Do-
nald would not long survive.
The number of passengers landed at San Francisco
during the month of' May was 10,641 ; the departures
for the same period did not exceed 1,000. Between
February ISt and June 6 there arrived at the same
port 6,770 Chinamen. The feeling against the Ce-
lestials had evidently not subsided as was imagined.
In El Dorado county several waggons containing
Chinamen had been stopped, and in some cases con-
siderable property belonging to theta, in the shape of
tents, merchandise, &c., was destroyed. Amongst
the immigrants from Hong-Kong were eighteen
Chinese women, attired in the costume of their
country.
The intelligence from the mining districts relative
to the yield of gold is very interesting. It was said.
that a party of Germans had discovered a very rich
gold placer on the Sacramento route to Treka. The
placer was said to be extensive, and of unexampled
richness; the earth in 'many places yielding from 3
dolls. to 5 dolls. to the panful. The miners on Rogue
River, Shasta county, were obtaining an abundance
of gold. The works of the Merced Mining Company
at Mount Ophir, which cost upwards of 100,000 dolls.,
had passed into the hands of an English Mining Com-
pany, who were making preparations to work the
quartz. This company, it was said, had arrived in
California with the intention originally of working
one of the Fremont claims, but could not succeed in
finding it. The mines about Weaverville, owing to
the systematic working, were proving to be the
richest in the state. The various canals were realiz-
ing enormous profits, Many of them paying upwards
of 35, and in one case 47i per cent. on their first
cost. At Yankee Jim's placer, property to the amount
of 40,000 dolls. had been destroyed by fire.
From Tahiti we have intelligence of the success
of the revolution and the flight of Queen Pomare.
Riatea had been the scene of a conflict between the
Republicans and Royalists. The half-breed native
who was elected by the former as President pro tern.
was overpowered and forced to fly with his troops
before the sudden assaults of the Royalists. The
Republicans, however, rallied, received strong re-
inforcements, and marched against Queen Pomare's
troops, repulsing them with considerable loss of life
on both sides, and reinstating their President.
Queen Pomare, hearing of the defeat of her troops,
hastened in person to Riatea to turn the tide of war.
She was assailed with great fury, and barely escaped
with her life, by taking refuge on board a French
frigate which arrived at Mani, one of the Sandwich
Islands group, on the 15th of May. The flight of
the Queen is said to have restored tranquillity at
Riatea.
In the advices from the Sandwich Islands, which
extend to the 12th of May, we find the particulars of
the murder of an American captain and crew by the
natives of Chatham Island, one of the Gallipagos.
Captains of vessels are warned to be on their guard

off to Petworth wholesale—made the meeting the most
attractive one ever held in Goodwood Park.
The racing will have considerable influence upon many
stakes yet veiled by the curtain of futurity. Long-
bow's clever victory for the Gratwicke settles at once
and for ever his chance for the great St. Leger; his
jockey, more than himself, having pulled him through in
the last few strides. It is said iu the stable, that Long-
bow is very inferior both to Songstress and Daniel
O'Rourke, and it has been whispered that Daniel will
take the shine out of the Oaks victrix in their encounter
at Doncaster.
The couple of victories of the Duke of Richmond's
Pharos entitle him to some consideration for next year's
Derby, as he disposed, somewhat easily, of Belgravia,
Vanderdecken, and Talfourd; yet was he run rather
too close by one of Sir J. Hawley's cast-offs—Mr.
Drew's Defiance—which takes from the quality of the
performance. Vanderdecken exhibited qualities of so
very inferior a nature that I at once dismiss him from
my good opinion.
Stockwell came out in his 2,000 Guineas form and
carried everything before him in every race be started;
the consequence of this was :his immediate elevation to
the premiership for the Leger, which position he is as
much entitled to as Songstress. He has been doing
good work for some time past, and if be keeps all right
till the middle of September he will be first, second, or
third for the great event at Doncaster.
William Rufus, although a much better looking
animal than his stable companion Pharos, is nothing like
so good in quality, as his race for the Lavant Stakes,
when he was easily beaten by the Sister to Mountain
Deer, proved. Osbaldeston's slashing filly is likely to
meet with a great rival in the race for the Oaks next
year in the Shape of Catherine Hayes, who, carrying
B.t 71b, and consequently giving weight to nearly every-
thing in the race, did the magnificent trick of winning
the Nursery Cup.
Another two !, ears old of note in Mr. Howard's Elms-
thorpe was brought out for the ,Illolecome Stakes, which
of course it won from such animals us Eitrelle, and
Margaret ef Anjou, in the easiest style pwsibla.

My prognostications on the principal races of the week
were realised nearly in every instance; my fancy out-

while Kingston gave me first honours for the Cup.
It will not be out of place here to give a few hints
upon the Doncaster St. seeeer. Past running has made
it very clear that Claver'house, Longbow, Maidstone,
The Nabob, Lapidist, Alfred the Grevat, Vortex, and
