A San Francisco correspondent of the New York
Courier and Inquirer writes, under date June 1 :
" From the mines the news is not very favourable,
the high condition of the waters in the several rivers
having prevented as yet any extensive operations during
the present mining season. The amount of gold taken
out during the season will undoubtedly, owing to the vast
increase of population, be much greater than last year,
but individual success will be greatly diminished. A por-
tion of the population will necessarily, ere long, be com-
pelled to turn their
.a:tention to other pursuits. The
burnt district in San Francisco is again covered with
buildings, and business in that section has to a
considerable extent resumed its wonted alacrity.
San Francisco, however, pre►ents by no means the
business appearance which it did six or nine months
ago, nor will property of any description command the
high prices which were then obtained. Real estate can
scarcely be sold at all. Goods of every description are
nearly as cheap as in New York, and money readily
commands from 5 to 20 per cent a month, according to
the nature of the security. The heavy taxes imposed by the
Legislature on property, the high salaries to city officers
fixed by the present commoncouncil, and the difficulties in
which the city has been involved by the previous opera-
tions of the Ayuotamiento and others claiming to act
by authority, all are operating very unfavourably for the
interests of San Francisco. But nothing can long re-
tard her onward progress, or deprive her of that im-
portance which she must ever possess from superior
local position, as the great commercial city of the Pa-
cific—the eonnecting link between China and the rest of
the world." _ _ _

Prom Panama we have advices to the 29th n'

The steam-ship Sarah Sands, Captain Thompson, was
about ninety miles below Monterey, on her passage
up, taking in coal. A number of her passengers had
left her and gone to San Francisco by land ; those
who remained on board of her were all in good
health. The steamers New World and Isthmus
sailed from Panama on the 22d of June, both full of
passengers. The Oregon, on her passage down, met
the Panama on the 21st of June, 150 miles below
Acapulco, bound for San Francisco. The British
steam-ship Avon, from Valparaiso, arrived at Panama
On the 25th of June, with a large amount of specie.
On the 29th the West India mail steamer Dee left
Chagres for Jamaica with a large freight of specie.
She had landed at Chagres four of the crew of an
American vessel lost off Greytown.
From Costa Rica, by the Dee, we learn that there
had been an attemptP,l revolution.

THE BISHOP OF EXETER AND

MR. GORIIANI.

The following, is the protest mentioned in our re-
port of the Arches' Court, which appeared in our
paper of Saturday :
"In the name of the Holy Trinity, Amen.—We,
Henry, by Divine permission Bishop of Exeter, having

Gorhans, clerk, bachelor of divinity, to the church

and in the Book of Common Prayer and administration
of the sacraments, according to the use of the said
Church—against which our refusal to institute him, as
aforesaid, the said clerk did prosecute ,his suit called
duplex querela in this venerable court, and such suit was
by the %anie, after due hearing, solemnly refused and
rejected, whereupon the said clerk did appeal fa the
judgment of her Majesty in Council, and her Majesty in
Council bath reinittA the cause to this venerable Court,
declaring that we the said bishop have not shown suffi-
cient cause why we did not institute the said Gcorge
.Cornelius Gorham to the said' vicarage of Ba..niff•

Spoke, and commanding that right and justice be in
this Court done in this matter, pursuant to the said dc-
claration,—do hereby, in üb.?dieace to the moe.ition of

fore she remitted the said cause to this Court with
