Arrival Of the steamer Falcon
n-- -nna- -LnAn MLA II

commanding, arrived this morning lfo!h Cha
gres, via Havana.
The Falcon brought $4,000 in gold dust to
Maunsel White & Co, $4,000 in specie to
Lapage & Harrison, and also the California
mail up to Nov, /.
She brings to this port forty-four passengers
having transferred seventy-one to the Ohio at
Havana. Nearly all OF them have in their pos
session large amounts Of gold dust, three hay-
ing over 100000 each.
The steamer California, Capt. T. A, Budd,
left San francisco on the night of the LIST ult';
and reached Panama on the 23d, touching at
Monterey, San Diego, Mazatlan, San Bias and
Acapulco.
The California brought to Panama about 29O
passengers and about Sl2,000,00O in specie;
S9I3,O OF this was in gold dust, shipped from
San Francisco. The balance was in silver
coin, and shipped at Maza'lan and Acapulco.
There was no abatement in the emigration
to California up to the tir1e of the departure OF
the steamer; nor was thsFs any material change
in the daily average amount of gold washed out
in the mines; though the average to the man
was considerably diminished, and the metal
was obtained with much more labor than when
the deposits were first discovered. New de-
~posits, however, of more or less richness still
continue to be found, though not with that
rapidity and facility which characterized the
earlier discoveries.
The Unexpectedly large emigration to Cali
fornia during the present season, and the com
paratively few shipments of late OF provisions
from the United States, in consequence Of the
reported abundance in San Francisco some
months since, have caused many in California
to apprehend a scarcity Of food again in that
country.
There was a multiplicity Of candidates in
the field when the California left.
Judge Peter H. Burnett, Mr.. WIS. Sherwood,
and Col. William Stewart, all Democrats, were
the candidates for Governor.
Mr.. John McDougal and MIR. F. ]. Lippltt,
Wings, were candidates for the Office Of Lieut..
Governor.
Messrs. E.. Gilbert, editor of the Alta Cali
f%ornla, Dent, w. E. Shannon, R. M. Price, w.
Hastings, P. A. Morse, HaIstead and Wright,
were in the field for Congress-all Democrats
except MIR, HaIstead.
Messrs. Il. Butler King, H. w. HalIock, ].
C. Fremont, w. M. Gwin, R. Semple, John B.
Weller and J. D. Stevenson, were, to a greater
or lesser extent, spoken of as candidates for
the U. S. Senate.
In crossing the Colorado, Brevet Capt. Her
man Thorne, Of the Cd U. S. Infantry, who was
commanding their escort of Dragons, was
drowned. Capt. Thorne served with distinc-
ton in tho late war with Mexico. He was
then an officer Of the 80 Regiment Of ORA
goons.
The California papers contain also a notice
OF the death Of Brevet Capt. w. H. Warner, OF
the U. S. Corps Of Typographical Engineers
