GREEN Fnurr.—The market has been dull this week,
owing to the dealers having fully supplied themselves
with stock before Christmas. Two cargoes Oranges
from St. Michael, one from Terceira, and one from Se-
ville, sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale, went at a
reduction from is to 25 per package. Lemons are is

complaint mentioned in our last against the Customs for

ROUTES TO SAN FRANCISCO—PRICE
OF PASSAGE, 4(c.
(From the .New York Herald)
In answer to numerous ;letters from different parts
of the country relative to the best route, price of pas-
sage, Btc., to San Francisco, we make the following
statement
PACIFIC MAIL STEAM-SHIP COMPANY.—M. O.
Roberts, No. 177, West-street, New York ; Arm-
strong, Harris, and Co., No. 43, Natchez-street, New
Orleans, agents. This company have, in conjunction
with the United States Mail Steam-ship Company,
twenty-four steamers, ranging from 1,000 to 3,000
tons burden each, eight of which are kept in the line
between New York and Chagres, and sixteen in the
line connecting Panama with San Francisco.
Their regular days of sailing from New York are
the 9th, 11th, 24th, and 26th of each month. At
Present they do not contract to carry passengers
across the isthmus, the transit of which, however, can
be effected at a small cost to well and hardy
Men. Parties at Chagres will contract to carry pas-
sengers from Chagres to Gorgona, with 100 pounds
of baggage, for from 8 dolls. to 10 dolls. ; having ar-
rived at which point they have accomplished the
whole of the river navigation, which takes about
thirty-six to forty-eight hours, and they then have
brit twenty-one miles of land travel, which is per•
formed by about two-thirds of the passengers on foot
in the space of twelve hours.
If passengers desire to ride this distance they can
do so at an expense of from 10 dolls. to 12 dolls. ; the
price charged for mules does not vary much from
this, either for packing, freight, or riding ; 2001 b. is a
load for a mule, so that any one can calculate exactly
what the expenses will be. If he goes with, say, a
couple of changes of clothing in a travelling-bag—
which, by-the-by, is all that any one should take—
and walk from Gorgona to Panama (which is, in fact,
preferred by many to riding a mule), it would not
cost him over 12 dolls. or 15 dolls. Houses of en-
tertainment are interspersed throughout the route,
where provisions can be had at a moderate rate.
The steamers at Panama only await the arrival of
the mails and passengers, when they are immediately
dispatched, and no delay is experienced at any point
throughout the route. They can calculate almost to
a certainty of making their trip 3 through inside of
28 days, and when the railroad is fully completed, 23
to 25 days, will be all that is required.
Passengers are found everything on board, and ex-
perienced physicians attend to any one who may be
ill free of charge.
There are three different grades of passage, for
which, in comparison to any other line of steam-
ships, their charges are moderate. For first-class
they ask 265 dolls. ; second, 215 dolls. ; and steerage,
150 dolls. ; each passenger being allowed 2501b5. of
baggage free. For children under twelve they °barge
half-price ; infants nothing.
NICARAGUA LINE.—D. B. Allen, No. 9, Battery-
place, New York, agent.—This line is composed of
three steam-ships, two of which leave New York,
one on the 7th and the other on the 22d of each
month, connecting by the Nicaragua Transit Route,
having but 12 miles of land carriage. On the arri-
val of the steamer from New. York at San Juan Del
Sud, the Pacific terminus of the Transit route, the
passengers for San Francisco will be forwarded with-
out delay. By this line there are four different
grades of passage, viz.:—State room on deck, 320
dolls. ; first cabin state room, 300 dolls.; second
cabin, open berth, 250 dolls. ; steerage berth, 180 dolls.
--through to San Francisco. Baggage in the steam-
-1511131 250 pounds, free; across the Isthmus, 15 cents.
perF Pound. Children under 12 years half-price ;
nothing. The time by this route is 25 to 28
days, and the above charge covers the whole distance
from New
York to San Francisco.
eitherAs
agen
eral rule the cost is about the same by
route,
and the time one or two days less by
the Nicaragua route than by that via Panama.

THE BELPER MURDER.
13xLPElt, WEDNESDAY Emu/ea.—The adjourned
in
Quest was resumed this morning; and after the exam
nationof Miss Harrison, a lady visitor in the house, and
e.essrs. Evans and Lomas, surgeons, the jury imme-
diately returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against
Anthony Turner, who was forthwith committed to take
his trial at the ensuing March assizes at Derby.
didculprit was present during the investigation, and
not appear at all concerned at the awful situation in
Which he was
placed. Previous to the jury returning
their verdict he amended a platform close by the side of
, uthe coroner, and addressed the court at considerable
ieegte.
He admitted that he had killed the deceased.
iXhe subject to which he principally alluded was a
Tag series of grievances against his victim—first, be-
rrase he kept en illegitimate child of Mrs. Barnes' late
other, with the promise from that gentleman that care
Would
be taken of the infant in the will, which was not
; secondly, because Mrs. Barnes declined to accede
to the violent and insulting demands for money on that
behalf; and, thirdly, because she, his mistrees, had been
guilty of exercising her own authority in the manage-
Ment of her own affairs. This annoyed him, and the
villain murdered his benefactor.
The CORONER said he should not commit his state-
ment to writing, as it appeared more in the shape of an
address to clear himself with his friends than a formal
statement.
The Court-house was densely crowded during the in-
'veseigation, and a large mob aurrounding the building on
the outside. When being conveyed away, he was yelled
and hooted by V'e mob.
There is uet the slightest ground for supposieg that
the prisoner is insane; on tie contrary, he is perfectly
calm and collected, and delivered his address with the
greatest oprapogue and At MIMS.
