NEWS, VIA ENGLAND, FROM THE CALF GorD
MINEs.-The Valparaiso correspondent Of the Lon
dog Times, under date of Jan. 30, says:- All the
accounts received in Chill from California, since
the date of my last letter, confirm the accounts of
the abundance of gold in that country. An Ame-
on the south coast of Chill, on the llth of this
month, on her way to the United States, having
on board upwards of $500, 900 in gold dust, belong
ing to the crew and to eight passengers, all being
the produce of their own labor, in few months,
in the gold diggngs. One of the sailors informed
the English Vicc-Consul at Talcahuano, that. in
working for himself, he, in four days, earned 500
worth of gold "1n few days." proceeds the
Vice-Consufs report, he got upwards of 81 900
worth, which he has now, and with which he re-
shipped in the same vessel from which he had a
few months before deserted. No less than nine
and such was the difficulty experienced in getting
sailors to man this whaler, that the enormous
wages Of $50 and $40 month had to be paid to
the sailors, and $60 per month to the cook then on
board of her. The desertion of sailors is most
serious drawback to the trade of the place The
ever, so far an abundance OF gold is concerned.
New discoveries are. being daily made. At So
noma, on the north side of the bay at Santa Rosa,
and in the nelghborhood of the Ciudad dc los An
gelos, gold has been found in great abundance as
on the American Fork. The amounts taken in
day are reported TO be enormous. In what are
called "the dry dggngs,' enormous pieces of
solid gold have been taken out of the rock. We
Will not pretend to state what size the largest
piece found is said to be, but one piece which has
been brought TO the islands weighs five ounces
An enormous quantity Of gold has been taken from
the earth. About 100000 worth of gold came in
the Mary Frances. The abundance of gold, and
the ease with which ii is acquired, have not been
at all exaggerated in the accounts which have
reached this place.

Loss OF THE S. M WILLIAMs.--The Galveston
Gazette of the6th nst informs of the loss of the
Williams. The steamboat S. M. Williams, Capt
II. baldwin, came out over the Brazos bar, with a
smooth sea, about 10 o'clock on the-morning of the
5th, with cargo of ll2 hhds of sugar $50 bbls
molasses The wind afterwards increased, and
the sea having become pretty rough, she broke her
shaft about 3 O'Clock, P. M, when near San Luis
Island. She continued to run on one wheel-la-
boring good deaL-the wind increasing and sea
heavy, until her rudder was disabled, and she be-
came unmanageable; her anchors were thrown
out, but failed to bring her up; and about O'Clock
in the evening she was driven ashore on the beach,
about IL miles below this city, and became a total
wreck. There were no passengers on board. Capt.
Baldwin came up to town last night to report.
When he left the wreck was within few rods of
the shore, to which ropes extended, and the crew
could leave without difficulty. The total loss of
the vessel and cargo is estimated at about SIG 600
-Inost Of which is probably covered by insurance.
Capt. Baldwin was, we believe, chief owner of the
vessel. The cargo was consigned to Messrs Hend-
ley & Co.; Rice, Adams & Co.; and boswell, Hill
& Co.
