The steamship Crescent City. Cap.
Slo,Alsrd, arrived yesterday afternoon,
from Ch.9,es, which place she left on the
AZ inst, masing the passage in six days.
The Crescent City (by special order)
brings three mails, consisting Of fifteen
nail bags, some as far back as March last.
Their delay has been owing to the deten-
I'm Of the steamer, caused by the want Of
fdel and hands, and by the irresularisy in
ihe departure Of the mail steamers from
~ Isthmns.
Capt. Forbes, Of the steamship Califor-
-, came passenger in the Crescen, City,
having len San Francisco on the lst May.
He brings news 10 the date OF his depar-
ture. Capt. Forbes, is very intelligent
and polite gentleman. We are indebted
tehim for news we publish below.
CAT F., as we have above stated, left.
San Francisco on the LIST of May in the
California, and arrived in Panama in Is
dsys. His vessel had very long passage
fism New York, but her detention is ac-
eounted for by the occurrence Of several
unfortunate circumstances. She arrived
q Rio in 70 days, expecting to find coal
7 that place; but the Chic, which - the
CAL on board, was IS days out, and the
California was compelled to await her ar
rival. This, Of course, detained the Cali
fornia long while. Her whole running
lime from New York to San Francisco
was 55! days. She arrived on the 2lst
q April, having passed through the
Sfsaits-sf Magellan. On her way down
70 Panama she stopped al Monterey.
Salia Barbara, San Diego, San Bias, and
Acapulco. There was, fortunately, a
large quantity Of coal at San Francisco,
three coal vessels having arrived. AT San
b'as and other points there was also an
abundance.
The vessels which recently left Panama
took nearly all The passengers who had
congregated at that point, SO that there are
now not more than forty remaining. The
accommodations furnished by the steamer,
his expected, will be ample for all who may
arrive. The Unicorn is 10 be added to
the Oregon, the California and the Pana-
ma, when steamer will leave San Fran
cisco, and Panama every fifteen days. An
accident which happened to the Panama
threw upon the California all the passen-
sers who had purchased tickets for both
vessels. The steamship Panama, Lieut..
Porter. arrived at Panama from New York
en the 9Th Of May, making the voyage in
. days and Z hours running time. She
yen % the l7th ult. for San Francisco with
J0O passengers. The Oregon, Captain
Pearson, arrived on the 9Th Of May from
San Francisco, and sailed May 23d full of
passengers. The California is to leave on
he 18Th inst.
. Among the vessels which had sailed
from Panama was an old ship called the
numbolt. She had gone around original
y a coal vessel, and lay at Panama FIVE
months without employment. At last
speculative individual purchased her for
1900, and fitted her up for passengers,
4 whom she took $50 a. 5000 each. The
lucky owner arrived in the Crecen CITY,
With his $50, 900.
Capt. Forbes represents the Pacific as
7 most delightful sea. The weather is
alN'ays free from storms, and the water
calm and smooth as mirror. Slight fogs
occasion ally impede navigation; but they
are seldom Of long duration.

We learn from Capt. Forbes that the
