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 attention 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, presents 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, accoeling 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 common council, and tlie difficulties in
which the city has been involved by the previous opera-
tions of the Ayuntamiento 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 connecting link between China and the rest of
the world."

From Panama we have advices to the 29th ult.
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
2 SanIst
passengers. The Oregon, on her passage down, met
the Panama ofFtncei'sco. The British
150 miles below
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
pPualcnoa,mbaouonndthfoer
Chagres for Jamaica with a large freight of specie.
She bad landed at Chagrqs four of the crew of an
American vessel lost off Greytown.

From Costa Rica, by the Dee, we learn that there
had been an attempted revolution.

THE BISHOP OF EXETER. AND

MR. GORHAM.

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, haying
been monished by this venerable Court of Arches
to bring into the registry of the same the presenta-
tion made to us by her Majesty Queen Victoria as patron

commanding us to institute the Rev. George Cornelius
Gorham, clerk, bachelor of divinity, to the church
of the said parish, and to the cure and government of
the souls of the parishioners of the same—which presen-
tation aforesaid, notwithstanding we have found it to be
our duty to refuse to admit and institute the said Rev.
George Cornelius Gorham to the said church and cure of
souls, inasmuch as it bath manifestly appeared to, and hath
been adjudged by us, after due examination bad, that the
said clerk was and isnot fit to be entrusted with such cure of
souls, by reason of his having held and continuing to hold
certain false and unsound doctrines, contrary to the pure
Catholic faith, and to the doctrines set forth and taught
in the Thirty-nine Articles ot the Church of England
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 same, after due bearing, solemnly refused and
rejected, whereupon the said clerk did appeal fo the
judgment of her Majesty in Cuuucil, and her Majesty in
Council hath remitted the cause to this venerable Court,
