NEWS FROM CALIFORNIA AT HAND.

Half q Month Later from ChagreS.

On Saturday night, We received a telegrsphic des-
patch from New Orleans dated Friday the 5th inst,
Informing OF the arrival at that port of the steam
ship Falcon. In five DAYS passage from Cbsgres.
Our despatch also informed that the steamship
Ohio sailed the previous afternoon for New York;
that he the Falcon in the river and from her
the Northern mail and ffy nine passengers for this
city,
The Falcon was to leave New Orleans yesterday the
9th inst, for Cbsgres
The probability IT, that the Falcon has brought one
month later intelligence from California and the
despatched over the wires; but as the line
south OF Washing ton Is not worked" on Sundays we
have not received any thing additional to that published
in the He,aid Of yesterday.
The Falcon sailed from Chagres on the 3oth ult Or
LIST inst and the steamship Panama probably arrived
from San Francisco, At Panama about the Esd ult
with intelligence from California to the LIST OF Septem
Der perhaps day two after, which is month
later. The 6fsy mine passengers and the mails trans
erred to the Ohio, were probably mostly from San
Franc cisco.
We will give the the moment we receive 1t in
