The stale Of affairs in California is extra.

gold to the amount Of nine millions Of
trancs--near 81 100000.
The British Consul tells me he has for
warded $4,000 from this place across
the Isthmus Of Panama.
Lieut.. Wood, Of The British Navy, CON-
manding the "Pandora,' says the truth
is beyond the accounts we have heard.
They also say that hundreds Of people
from the western coast Of America arc
embarking for the gold regions, and most
of the clerks in the CONNIE rcial Houses
have quit and gone the same way.
No preparation was made at Panama
by the steamboat for transporting pas
sengers across the Islhmus, or affording
information or aid. The roads were al
most impossible for miles. The number
Of boats in the river and mules on the
road, were insufficient for the transporta-
ton oFthe passengers and baggage. They
ask $50 for carrying small load from
Chagros to Panama.
Flour to-day is $40 per bbl., and the
inhabitants Of the town are alarmed at
the prospect Of famine.
A letter in the New Orleans Crescent
refers farther to the two millions Of gold,
and states that the greatest part Of it will
be taken by the mail steamer California.
An English steamer carried 100000 IN
dust.
Another letter completely contradicts
the report Of distu: Dances in the mining
districts; says that order prevails, and
there had been but two or three petty de-
predations since operations commenced in
